ATHOL DAILY NEWS Saturday, May 18, 1996 Page 3 Orange News Briefs Verne M. Goldsher and Jill E. Manuel of 136 Athol Rd. filed marriage intentions with the town clerk recently. Orange Man Will Install Machines ORANGE Jim Bridgeford of town will install two new counting and packing machines for Neuhauser Bakery, one of New Jersey's major baked goods companies.

Bridgeford will program the control system. Bridgeford's JB Electronics repairs, installs and builds machinery for production lines. Bridgeford has consulted with makers of a variety of products, from rivets to paper bags and coffee. One client is Carando Gourmet Food of Springfield for whom Bridgeford reconfigured a conveyor and bagging machine to make them move pasta more efficiently. While he was on this job, he heard the clatter from a malfunctioning beef chipping machine and diagnosed the problem that had stumped a company technician for three weeks.

Bridgeford has seen controllers evolve from refrigerator-sized, mechanical relay controls in the 1970's to today's brick-sized programmable electronic controllers, which are minicomputers. Bridgeford develops programs for these controllers to the manufacturers specifications. Bridgeford's company, JB Electronics, repairs computers and upgrades hard and floppy drives and processors for color monitor use. JB Electronics is located at the Athol Enterprise Center, 134 Chestnut Hill Ave. in Athol.

Divers Still Looking For Fuselage MIAMI (AP) Police divers awaited full-body biohazard suits Friday for a plunge into the murky crater to recover pieces of ValuJet Flight 592. Recovery workers were still looking for the fuselage and other parts of the DC-9 in the crater, which is about 130 feet by 40 feet and about 8 feet deep in spots. The divers hoped to suit up Saturday, said National Safety Transportation Board investigator Gregory Feith Experimental radar equipment that can detect items in the mud will be brought in Monday. Navy sonar has failed so far to locate the plane's cockpit voice recorder. "It's hard to believe there's an entire airplane out there with 110 people on board, very little of which can be seen," said Metro Dade police pilot Mike Mann.

Divers have worn full-body suits in the muck to protect themselves from the skin-irritating jet fuel in the water and the hazards of decomposing bodies. The new lightweight, rubberized suits will be stronger to protect the divers underwater. Less than 10 percent of the plane has been recovered, but authorities are because even that much will help them piece together what happened, Feith said. Investigators are focusing on the front part of the airplane where they think an explosion or fire might have occurred. Safety officials continued to investigate whether dozens of oxygen-generating canisters aboard Flight 592 were empty or filled with volatile chemicals that may have caused a fire before the plane went down in the Everglades last Saturday, killing all 110 people aboard.

The 8-inch, stainless-steel oxygen canisters are "issue No. 1" in the investigation, said NTSB Vice Chairman Robert Francis. The jet, which was carrying 50 to 60 of the canisters in a front cargo hold, crashed after the crew reported smoke in the cockpit and cabin. Workers have recovered scorched and sooty wreckage from the front of the jet, but none of the canisters. Also Friday, security officers with bomb-sniffing dogs searched two ValuJet planes that received bomb threats as they were about to leave Miami International Airport.

Both planes, like Flight 592, were bound for Atlanta; the passengers had not boarded either jet.

(AP) When a new video store opened in this Boston suburb two weeks ago, many locals were shocked to find out it didn't carry "'The Bridges of Madison County" or the one about the talking pig, that is. Its wares were mostly X-rated movies, pornographic magazines and sex toys. And there was nothing anyone could do about it. Months before the video store opened, local officials discussed zoning regulations that could have kept Video Expo off Main Street in Reading. But they didn't move quickly enough.

"I wish people would learn from what we did," said Town Manager Peter Hechenbleikner. Or rather, from what they didn't do. From Brockton to West Springfield, cities and towns across the state are heeding the warning: Act now to restrict adult stores or pay the price later. Communities cannot ban adult entertainment stores and clubs altogether because they are protected by the First Amendment. But officials can limit where the stores can locate if they do it before a business Derby For Young Anglers By MARY C.

BARCLAY ROYALSTON The Royalston Fish and Game Club will host a ishing derby from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday for young anglers, ages 14 and under, live bait only in the club's stocked pond. They will try to land one of the 200 plus brook and rainbow trout being off-loaded this morning by Whitmanville Aquaculture of Westminster. Many of the trout are tagged and if caught will bring a cash prize.

Additional prizes, donated by area businesses, will be awarded to boys and girls reeling in the largest catches with consolation prizes are awarded to other participants. Member children are provided with a free lunch and may catch up to two fish at no cost; additional derby entry tags are available for a dollar. Non-member children may catch two fish for their entry fee and are provided with lunch. There is a sixfish limit for participants. The club is on Route 68 at the South Royalston line.

opens. In the last six months alone, more than 20 communities have enacted zoning regulations for adult entertainment, and about twice that number have considered it, said Andre Vagliano, who tracks zoning changes for trade publications. So far this year, hearings on adult entertainment lead all other types of land-use debates around the state. been Vagliano said. never seen anything like it." Worcester County District Attorney John Conte, who led a workshop on adult entertainment zoning last summer, said the new regulations have "definitely slowed down the of X-rated stores and clubs.

Many communities rushed to act after a Rhode Island-based strip club tried to open in Weymouth several months ago. Faced with community outrage and a legal snag, the Foxy Lady eventually withdrew its proposal. But the episode showed many communities they, too, could be caught napping. The City Solicitors and Town Counsel Association held a seminar on adult business regulations in February. And a spokesman for the state attorney general's office, which reviews town bylaws, said the department has been flooded with requests for advice so much so that Attorney General Scott Harshbarger discussed the topic in his April newsletter for local governments.

Many adult store owners said they don't object to some zoning long as they don't make it ridiculous," said one store owner who asked not to be named. But trying to stamp out all strip clubs and X-rated bookstores is not only illegal: It's dangerous, because it erodes legal protections against other forms of censorship, said Laurence Tribe, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard University. According to the Supreme Court, communities can prohibit the sale of material, defined as sexually offensive by a community's own standards. But that definition is so subjective, it's hard to take legal action against adult businesses. The best bet, legal experts said, is for towns to restrict where the stores can go.

Brockton, for example, recently reserved a spot for adult entertainment near its sewage treatment plant.

(AP) A Brockton fugitive wanted on kidnap charges and dubbed "Rambo" for his antics while on the run was freed on $10,000 bail Friday, one day after he turned himself in to police.

Guy Cummings, 32, posted the bail in Taunton District Court. He is charged with holding a Raynham woman hostage for three days. Cummings was captured and charged in the incident in September 1994 after leading police through a Middleboro swamp, where he hid underwater while breathing through a straw like the lead character in the "Rambo" movies.
