PLAIN DEALER, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1991. 3-C Kentucky artist shapes images of cel celebrities THE NEWS ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. Artist Rich Griendling recently plastered sports greats Bart Starr and Hank Aaron. But Griendling didn't ply them with bourbon. The Elizabethtown man just covered their heads and hands with plaster to immortalize them in Alabama's Sports Hall of Fame.
It is the second time in two years the artist has been commissioned to sculpt life-size images of the famous for Alabama museums. Last year, he plastered the members of the group Alabama and singer Lionel Richie. Plan publicans lost control of the House in November 1972. Bennett would force 10 Democrats to run against each other, including Reps. Robert F.
Hagan, D-53, of Youngstown, and Joseph J. Vukovich, D-52, of Poland; and Reps. Suzanne M. Bergansky, D-17, of Bedford Heights, and Vermel M. Whalen, D-16, of Cleveland.
In one instance, Bennett's state GOP plan would force three Democrats to face off: Reps. Paul P. Mechling, D-91, of Thornville; Mary Abel, D-94, of Athens; and Marc D. Guthrie, D-67, of Newark. Also in the House, the Bennett plan would throw together GOP Reps.
Charles R. Brading, R-82, of Wapakoneta, and James D. Davis, R- 81, of St. Marys. In an added twist, Bennett's remap would put Sens.
Gary C. Suhadolnik, R-24, of Parma Heights, and Anthony C. Sinagra, R-23, of Lakewood, in the same district. Sinagra's term runs through 1995, and Suhadolnik's in 1993; therefore, Sinagra wouldn't have to move for a while.

Farmers' FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS FINCHVILLE, Ky. Kentucky farmers were reluctant to sink money into building tobacco barns amid uncertainty in the industry during the late 1980s, and now they are scrambling to find space to cure and store the leaf.
Production is also up in Ohio's tobacco belt in Brown County. Kentucky farmer Joe Norrenbrock, of Shelby County. has rigged nearly every building on his farm sheds, his dairy barn, even a grain bin for hanging sticks of tobacco. "Our tobacco barn was flattened in a storm five years ago and we never put up a new one," said Norrenbrock. "If we grow any more tobacco next year, we'll probably have to put it in the house." Although Norrenbrock's methods may seem extreme, the shortage of barn space he has been trying to work around isn't that unusual now that tobacco production is on the rebound, said George Duncan, an agriculture engineer at the University Kentucky.
don't believe I've ever seen any. body try to put tobacco up in a grain bin, but quite a few people have converted sheds and other barns," Duncan said. Uncertainty over federal price supports for tobacco and fluctuations in the amount of tobacco the U.S. Department of Agriculture has let farmers grow in the past 10 years made Kentucky farmers reluctant to build traditional tobacco barns, which can cost $5,000 to $6,000 for each acre of tobacco it will house. Kentucky's basic USDA burley quota the amount farmers can grow declined from nearly 455 million pounds in 1982 to 310 million pounds in 1987.

"I enjoy doing it, and I do enjoy meeting the people," Griendling said. He said he wasn't star-struck, however, until after the job at hand was done. "I'm probably more excited about meeting them afterwards," Griendling For the sports project, Griendling also cast sports announcer Mel will sculpt football coaching legend Paul (Bear) Bryant and 1936 Olympic track star Jesse Owens out of clay. Griendling said he was most impressed by Allen, who had pictures of himself with New York Yankees greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, among other celebrities, on the walls of his home. Griendling "Mel, who just turned 77, is a super guy," Starr, who said.
"He's a real congenial man." quarterbacked the Green Bay Packers to Super Bowl titles in the 1960s, and his wife, Cherry, also made Griendling feel comfortable when he visited Starr in his Birmingham, home recently. "They were just wonderful people to meet," Griendling said. He said he first cast Starr's hands as they would be formed if holding a football, then he stayed for dinner.

He was Mrs. Daniels' brother. Investigators said he was shot in a bedroom. Mrs. Daniels' father, Ernie Rawlins, 64, was in critical condition at Grant Medical Center in Columbus with a chest wound.

In Ohio, Hanke, statistician for the Ohio Agriculture Statistics Service in Columbus, said 1991 projections for this year's tobacco harvest, were 21.5 million pounds. Last year, 18.9 million pounds were harvested and 15.9 million pounds were harvested in 1989.
Hanke said most Ohio tobacco was grown in Brown County, where 800 more acres were planted this year because of the growing worldwide fondness for American tobacco. Bob Tarczy, economist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, said Ohio's basic USDA burley quota was 26.4 million pounds for 1991, 23.4 million for 1990, and 21.4 million for 1989. Tarczy said a few Ohio farmers had had problems finding space to cure and store tobacco, as had farmers "throughout the Burley Belt" of the Ohio Valley, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Tarczy said that while more Americans had stopped smoking for health reasons, residents of the Soviet Union, Japan, Germany, and Far Eastern countries had increased their demand for American tobacco.
At the a University of Kentucky, Duncan, added, "I think a lot of people may have lost some confidence in the future of tobacco when the quota was reduced and we stopped seeing new barns going up."

As more tobacco is being grown, we need more space," he said. The space shortage was made even worse this year because about 400 tobacco barns were damaged or destroyed in spring storms, Duncan said.
State economic development and agriculture officials attempted to put together a low-interest loan program for constructing new barns, but it never got off the ground, he said. Norrenbrock said although the demand for tobacco appeared to be strong the immediate future, he still didn't want to spend the money needed to build a couple of tobacco barns. He grew acres of tobacco this year, up from acres last year. "If I knew for certain the market was still going to be good 20 years from now, then I'd go ahead and do it, but I'm still scared of where the tobacco program is going," Norrenbrock said. "I just think that more Third World countries are going to grow tobacco cheaper than we can and that's where the business i is going to go.
I think we'll also see further restrictions on the chemicals that are sprayed on tobacco and that's going to hurt." call your carrier. p.d.sept. 27,1991 Reserve Your HOLIDAY PARTY OR BANQUET at fa*gAN'S IN THE FLATS 241-6116 Contact Colleen O'Malley, Banquet Mgr.

Bill seeks autopsies in sudden-death ath cases COLUMBUS (AP) The Ohio House yesterday approved a bill requiring autopsies to be performed when apparently healthy children younger than 2 die of unexplainable causes. The measure, approved 88-3, now goes to the Ohio Senate. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Madeline Cain, D-8, of Lakewood, who said it would provide peace of mind and better medical-research information in cases attributed to sudden infant death syndrome. Cain said 246 apparently healthy children died suddenly in Ohio last year.
"Each was deemed to have died of sudden infant death syndrome. However, 16 of these children were never autopsied. leaving parents with unanswered questions, fears and guilt, and leaving the medical and public-health communities in Ohio with inconsistent and incomplete data relating to she. said. Cain said national statistics showed of deaths initially attributed to sudden infant death syndrome were the result of accidents or child abuse.
Her bill would require coroners to perform an autopsy in such cases unless relatives or friends objected on grounds of religious beliefs. Radioactive material found at well sites South Webster, O.

The bin holds about two acres of tobacco hung four tiers high. For ventilation he has left the door open and he took out three panels of the wall near the top. The bin also has a fan built into it to improve air circulation. Despite the hesitation on the part of some growers like Norrenbrock, one county extension agent said he noticed more tobacco barn construction and some innovations under way in the past year.
"I think everyone's getting excited about the foreign markets and the promise that holds and they're ready to make an investment in new barns," said Chris Clark, the Hart County extension agent.

'TIL 6. SUN. 12 TO 5. LANSING, Mich. (AP) Michigan officials say naturally occurring radioactive material far exceeding federal limits is being found at some sites in the state, and oil companies are being warned to limit public and worker exposure.
The radioactive material, called NORM, is being pumped from underground with oil and water. Some officials said NORM has been found in Michigan at levels exceeding allowable limits for nuclear power plants, but there arc few regulations in place for governing exposure to or disposal of NORM at wells. "I do feel uncomfortable that those levels exist out there in an uncontrolled environment," said George Bruchmann, chief of radiological health for the Michigan Department of Public Health. While health effects are unclear, Bruchmann said state officials were concerned that health problems might develop if homes were built near abandoned wells. storage yards or landfills holding contaminated drilling equipment.
State officials began checking for NORM last year after several oil-producing Gulf Coast states reported high levels. About 270 facilities serving 1.000 gas and oil wells were checked. according to a Booth News Service examination of state records. State officials this year have been checking places where used well pipe is stored. Pipe scale, the debris that accu: mulates on oil pipes.
has been found to contain 159,000 picocuries per gram of radium-226, a dangerous form of radiation, at one West Branch pipe storage area. "The highest I have ever seen was in the Mideast at 70.000," said Bill Williams, a Conoco Oil radiochemist and national NORM expert. The Environmental Protection Agency has listed 40,000 picocuries per gram as its maximum. and the news service said state tests found at least five higher readings in Michigan. Some of the contaminated areas also registered high energy levels of up to 5,300 microrems per hour.
A measurement of 50 microrems per hour is the level at which companies are asked to warn workers about NORM exposure, Booth said. "These are the kind of levels that in the nuclear industry they would have all kinds of controls to keep track of workers and gates to minimize exposures," said James Gruelke of the EPA office of radiation programs. In December, the Michigan De: partment of Natural Resources advised production facilities with readings of 50 microrems or greater to limit public access. It also urged posting warnings and having employees wear devices to measure their exposure. 1.
