Cleaner air will be costly to consumers

By JOSEF HEBERT
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —— If you drive a
car, rely on electricity or use hair
spray, cleaner air will come at a
cost.

With an eventual price tag of
more than $22 billion a year, nearly
every American will have to chip in
for the new pollution controls re-
quired by the clean air bill that won
approval in Congress.

Lexington Community College
President Allen G. Edwards recent-
ly was honored by the college lead-
ership program from which he
earned his doctoral degree.

John E. Roueche, director of the
Community College Leadership
Program at the University of Texas
at Austin, said that of the more than
450 graduates completing the pro-
gram during the last 45 years, Ed-
wards is one of only 32 and the
youngest to be named a “Distin-
guished Graduate.”

“1 think Allen is an incredibly
honorable man who cares greatly
about the quality of his faculty and
staff and also about teaching and
students," Roueche said. “We‘re all
delighted that he received this rec-
ognition."

Roueche said recipients of the
award are selected by a committee
of faculty members and former re-
cipients and are chosen because
they have received national recogni-
tion for outstanding leadership in
community education.

Edwards was selected after he
won the Beacon Award, a $46,000
grant offered by the W. K. Kellogg
Foundation to prepare future gener-
ations of leaders for the Kentucky
community college system,
Roueche said.

Edwards, who received a docto-
rate in educational administration in
1984, said, “It is a great honor to re-
ceive accolades from the faculty un-
der whom I studied and from peer
graduates in that program."

President Bush is expected to sign
the measure that over the next dec-
ade will phase in new anti-pollution
requirements on factories, refiner-
ies, electric utilities and automak-
ers.

No one disputes that the new pol-
lution controls will be expensive,
but the final price tag has been a
subject of much disagreement.

“Americans will see continued
progress to improve the nation‘s air
quality. But they also will pay the

price," says William Fay, who head-
ed industry’s lobbying efforts
against the bill.

The Bush administration estimates
the bill will add about $10 billion in
annual costs to the economy by
1995 and anywhere from $22 billion
to $25 billion a year when all of the
requirements are in force in the year
2005.

Some industry—sponsored studies
have put the eventual cost at more
than $60 billion a year on top of the

$32 billion already spent annually
to curb air pollution.

But other studies have criticized
the industry estimates as highly in-
flated and maintain they do not take
into account expected efforts by in-
dustry to find ways to keep costs
down, nor the likely development
of new technologies that will make
compliance cheaper.

Richard Ayres. executive director
of the Clean Air Coalition, the envi-
ronmental umbrella group that

fought for the bill, argues that the
burden may not be all that onerous.
When all of the new requirements
are in place, the typical household
likely will pay less for the improved
quality of air than it does on going
to the movies, said Ayres. He cited a
study that estimates the cost at about
$20 per household a month by the
year 2005, less than what the typical
family pays on movies, tobacco
products or alcoholic beverages.
Both critics and supporters ac-

Iraq expects attack
soon,Saddanisays

By DAVID BEARD
Associated Press

Saddam Hussein said yesterday
that Iraq was making final prepara—
tions for war and expected an attack

within days by the United States and

its allies. A U.S. senator said Presi-
dent Bush‘s “patience is wearing
thin.”

In the Persian Gulf, IO American
sailors died when a steam pipe rup-
tured in the boiler room of the USS
Iwo Jima. And in Saudi Arabia, a
Marine was killed in an accident
while driving in the desert.

Bush discussed possible military
action against Iraq in a meeting with

congressional leaders on the gulf

crisis. but he told them he could not

guarantee he would consult them be-
fore embarking on hostilities. He re—
fused to comment publicly on a re—
port the United States plans to
discuss a timetable with US. allies

years ago.

That’s why it was so refreshing to
see Casey and Manuel score of f-the.
court victories last week.

In Manuel’s case, an Oklahoma
County district judge granted an in-
junction allowing Manuel to keep
playing basketball for Oklahoma
City University. The National Asso«
ciation of Intercollegiate Athletics
had ruled that Manuel, 22. was not
eligible to play at any of the mem-
ber schools. Manuel had asked the
court to block the NAIA ban.

An NCAA investigation at Ken-
tucky alleged that Manuel, a highly
recruited guard out of Macon, Ga,
cheated on an admissions test that
he took in Lexington months before
he was to begin his freshman season
at UK in 1987.

Manuel had a banner year as
UK’s sixth man for most of the sea-
son, as Kentucky sprinted to a 27-6
record and earned a spot in the
NCAA Final 16. He and forward
LeRon Ellis were expected to lead a
strong team back into the NCAA the
following year.

But when the NCAA told UK
about its intentions to investigate the
incident, Manuel voluntarily sat out
the 1988-89 season. He never

played a second more of basketball
for the Wildcats. When sanctions
were levied on UK in late spring
1989, Manuel transferred to Hiwas-
see, a small college in Tennessee.

Manuel signed with Oklahoma
City earlier this year. Although his
path to the National Basketball As-
sociation has been impeded, there's
really nothing preventing him from
pursuing the dream of most college
basketball players.

For Casey. it's a different case a1-
together. According to a Lexington
Herald-Leader article that appeared
last week. attorneys reached an
agreement to settle the $6.9 million
lawsuit Casey filed against Emery
Air Freight.

Casey sued Emery over its han-
dling of an envelope that allegedly
popped open at at Emery terminal in
Los Angeles. Emery employees said
they discovered $1,000 in cash and
a videotape inside the package,
which had been sent to the father of
recruit Chris Mills.

Throughout his ordeal, Casey
maintained his innocence. and with
the lawsuit settled, it appears he was
right on the money, so to speak. Ca-
sey, to put it mildly, was given the
role of scapegoat in the mess. He
was banned from coaching for five
years, then watched as his boss, Sut-
ton, distanced himself from Casey.

Similar to Manuel’s situation, it
didn't seem fair. But now, as UK
basketball prepares itself for a new
season, perhaps the final scars of
probation are healing. Maybe as
time continues to heal the wounds
suffered by the program and two of
the program's former stars, Manuel
and Casey will be remembered for
their dribbles, not for their troubles.

NEW YORK — Mike Tyson‘s
latest bout began Monday in a coun-
room where jurors considered
claims that the former heavyweight
champion assaulted a woman at a
dance club.

Tyson disputes all allegations in
the $4.5 million civil lawsuit, which
his attorney called a “stickup.” The
boxer is expected to testify in his de-
fense.

The lawsuit, which went to trial in
US. District Court, was filed by
Sandra Miller. a 26-year-old Brook-
lyn woman, who claims Tyson “for-
cibly fondled” and cursed at her af—
ter she refused his advances at
Bentley's Disco early Dec. 10,
1988.

Her attorney, Alan Clark, said she
decided to sue the boxer to “punish
him and deter him and to tell him
this will not happen to another
woman again."

Tyson, who is attending the trial,
had breakfast in the counhouse cafe-
teria where he signed autographs for
fans. He was accompanied by sever-
al supponers, including fight pro-
moter Don King.

Clark told jurors in his opening
statement that the incident began at
a downstairs bar when Tyson
grabbed Miller’s arm and pulled
her. He quoted Miller as saying,
“I'm a lady and treat me like a lady.
Furthermore I have a man."

The attorney said she walked
away after Tyson angrily asked her
whether she knew who he was.

A short time later, Clark alleged

that Tyson again approached Miller
and grabbed her buttock and then
her breast, cursing at her and yell-
ing, “Don't you know I’m the world
heavyweight champion?”

Miller, who married since the in-
cident and has two children, later
took the stand and gave her version
of what happened.

She quoted Tyson as saying,
“You (expletive), celebrities slobber
all over me. Who do you think you
are? You‘re not even that pretty.”

“I felt embarrassed, ashamed. I
felt afraid, here was the heavy-
weight champion grabbing me,” she
said.

During her testimony, Miller of-
ten stared angrily at Tyson.

A third encounter occurred later
that night in an upstairs lounge,
where Tyson again cursed at her and

CINCINNATI —-— Eric Davis
finally went home yesterday with
a favorable medical outlook and
more unfavorable words about
his treatment by Cincinnati Reds
majority owner Marge SchotL

Davis left Christ Hospital to
finish his recuperation from a
kidney injury at home. The out—
fielder has been in hospitals in
Oakland, Calif, and Cincinnati
since severely bruising and lacer-
ating the kidney while trying to
make a diving catch in Game 4
of the World Series.

Doctors said he should be able
to recover fully with rest.

“The doctor decided he could
recuperate at home," Reds
spokesman Jim Ferguson said.
“He’ll be on a program of very
limited activity.“

He was still miffed yesterday
that he hadn’t heard from Schott.

Davis returned to Cincinnati
last Friday on a private planc
flight that cost him nearly

 

Davis home but not

$15,000.

He lashed out at Schott for failing
to retum telephone calls from his
hospital bed about the flight ar-
rangements, leaving him to pay the
full cost.

He said Schott didn’t call him
when he got back to Cincinnati, ei-
ther.

“I got some flowers from Marge a
couple of days ago after I said what
I said, but I still haven’t talked to
her, so what good is that?" Davis
told a news conference before leav-
ing the hospital.

Schott was with the team at the
White House on yesterday as Presi-
dent Bush honored the World Series
champions, who swept the defend-
ing champion Oakland A‘s.

She didn't meet with reporters af-
terwards.

Pitcher Jose Rijo, the Most Valu-
able Player of the Series, said
Schott had mistreated Davis by ig-
noring his telephone calls.

“It’s not fair. I think he deserves
better. He deserves more respect,“
Rijo said.

pleased

Although Davis had to miss the
White House honors, his wife,
Sherrie, was supposed to take
photographs of the Rose Garden
for him.

Davis said he is looking for-
ward to relaxing at home and
playing with his daughters, Erica
and Sacha.

The outfielder again thanked
fans who sent him get-well cards
or left telephone messages for him
at the h0spitais.

“The phone calls, the messages
that different people from around
the Cincinnati area gave to me,
that means more than any gift to
me, knowing that they were be-
hind me and they really cared
about me. That's all I needed," he
said.

Davis, 28, was treated at an
Oakland hospital for six days,
causing him to miss the city's of-
ficial downtown celebration of the
World Series championship on
Oct. 22. The team displayed his
uniform at the celebration in his
honor.

“He told me he would punch me
in the face," Miller testified. “l was

Tyson’s attorney, Robert Hirth,

He said such an incident would have

Tyson was mobbed by fans all
night.

money. Plain and simple, it’s a
stick-up."

Hirth said he planned to call As-
sistant District Attorney Linda Fair-
stein, chief of the prosecutor of-
fice’s sex crimes bureau, because
she interviewed Miller a few days
after the incident when Miller was

considering pressing criminal charg-
es.

Hirth said Fairstein will testify
that Miller and her fiance left mes-
sages w1th friends who they be—
lieved knew Tyson, demanding
money from the boxer.

No criminal charges were brought
against Tyson, who lost his title to
James “Buster” Douglas in Febru-
ary.

The trial is expected to last three
to four days. At the request of Ty-
son’s lawyer, the case will be pre-
sented in two phases.

First. the jurors will decide wheth-
er Tyson is liable for punitive dam—
ages.

If they rule in Miller's favor, the
jury then will hear testimony about

Tyson's wealth before deciding on
the how much he must pay.

Hirth was successful in excluding
testimony about allegations outside
Miller‘s lawsuit.

US. District Judge Michael B.
Mukasey agreed that the jury not
hear testimony about the boxer’s
juvenile record.

The jury also won't hear about ai-
iegations in “Fear and Fire: The In-
side Story of Mike Tyson,“ an unau-
thorized biography in which author
Jose Torres quotes Tyson saying a
blow he took at his ex-w1fe, actress
Robin Givens, was “the best punch I
ever threw."

The case is being heard in federal
court because the parties live in dif-
ferent states.

Thomas hoping to return soon

Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati
Bengals comerback Eric Thomas,
who expected to miss the I990 sea-
son when he suffered an off-season
knee injury in a pickup basketball
game, says he might be able to play
if the Bengals make the playoffs.
Thomas, 26, a starter last year and
in the Bengals' 1988 Super Bowl
season, tore a ligament in his right
knee and underwent surgery in May.
The Bengals said then it appeared
that he would miss the 1990 season.
But Thomas said he I\ ahead of
schedule in rehabilitating the knee.
“I'm way ahead of vxhcrc the}
thought I'd be." he said. “I'm doing
things I would be doing it i was

playing — backpedaling, cutting. I
just haven't pushed real hard off it
yet."

The Bengals have not announced
any plans to reinstate Thomas, a for-
mer Tulane star drafted by the Ben-
gals in the second round in 1987.

Cincinnati (5-2) leads the AFC
Central Division by a game over
Houston and Pittsburgh. The Ben
gals just completed five consecutive
road games, ending it with a 2'3
record after Sunday night‘s 38-17
loss to Atlanta.

Sunday’s home opponent for the
Bengals 1s the New Orleans Saints.
who slipped to 2-5 Wth Sunday's
27-I0 defeat to DUIIHII.

Despite the l1i\\,SLlll'llS coach Jim
Mora said he nili continue to start

quarterback Steve Walsh, obtained
from the Dallas Cowboys in a Sept.
25 trade for three draft choices.
Walsh twk over for former Saints
starter John Fourcade as coaches try
to restart New Orleans’ offense.

Walsh was yanked from Sunday‘s
game With 4:43 remaining after
throwing three interceptions and
tumbling a center snap.

Three weeks ago, Walsh came off
the bench to rally the Saints to a 25
2(Iv1ctory over Cleveland

"At llli\ point. he's our starter."
Mora said. “He's going to have L.
tight through ll'li\. I hits Stew Hc'~
a good, young player. He makc.
rot/d tlctiszons and docrn‘t get ra'.

touch He’ll get better all the time."

Museum opens world of wonder

 

By JULIA LAWSON
Staff Writer

“Touch and Go" is the idea in
practice at the recently opened
Lexmgton Children‘s Museum.

"We use the discovery method
here. We let them touch and feel
the exhibits," said Cynthia Moreno,
education director of the museum.

This technique of discovery is
found everywhere, from the Phys-
ics and Space Gallery exhibit
where children can walk on “the
moon" to the History and Time
Gallery where the youth of today
are exposed to momentos from yes~
teryear.

An exceptional feature of the
museum is the Natural Wonders
exhibit. Children can explore as.
pects of the environment by tn—
specting the workings of an ant
farm Not only do they see the ants
at work, but from the information

on the side they learn that the ant
can carry up to 10 times its own
weight.

By being allowed to picle up a
deer‘s antler, a beaver’s tooth, or a
snail‘s shell, the children seemed to
be more interested in asking
“where does this come from.
Mom?" than pulling at her skin to
get her to take them to the play-
ground.

There is even a real snake skin
that felt as weird as it looked.

Observing the parents" excite-
ment as they watched their chil-
dren‘s explorations was a sight.
The frenzied actions of the children
was only outweighed by the flash-
ing cameras and posing children.

The museum's state of the an
equipment includes touch comput-
ers. Children of all ages do not
have to know how to use a key»
board to experience the graphics of
this computer. This particular sys-

rainfall, and wildlife.

One area of the museum enter—
tains the younger generation with
giant building blocks and even the
life-size piano that was in the mo-
vie “Big.“ One could hear “Heart
and Soul" being played for miles
around.

It seemed that the most widely
used exhibit at the museum was the
Bubble Factory. With bubbles rang-
ing from the sire of a penny to the
sin of a pumpkin, it looked like a
‘00s version of Lawrence Welk.

The MC Gallery could be :1 learn‘
ing experience for people of all
ages. One can test the performance
level of the senses by determining
the scents of certain hidden items,
including cheese and something
that resembled the scent of Old
Spice cologne.

There was also a booth where
people could determine their height
by sizing themselves up to peanut
butter Jars or Nerf footballs. l was
exactly 13 peanut butter jars tall.

The infinity booth was an experis
ence. Instead of those three-way
mirrors at the local department
store. this was a mirror with about
1,000 reflections.

Upstairs in the Physics Gallery
was a giant Slinky ~— or, as they
called it, a “wave machine.” Either

way, it was still pretty neat. It
seemed that Slinkies had been ex-
tinct until now.
