PLAIN DEALER, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1991- 3-C Kentucky artist shapes images of celebrities By LAURIE OGLE THE NEWS ENTERPRISE ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. Artist Rich Bart Griendling recently plastered sports greats 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 images.
of the famous for Alabama museums. Last year, he plastered the members of the group Alabama and 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. 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. 4 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 expires in 1993; therefore, Sinagra wouldn't have to move for a while. Underscoring the state GOP's stated concern for minority voters a stance Democrats have implied is phony Bennett's plan would create 12 minority House districts, including five in Cuyahoga County; one each in Summit, Lucas and Montgomery counties; and two each in Franklin and Hamilton counties. Four minority-influence districts districts in which minorities have a substantial but-less-than-majority population would be created in Mahoning, Lorain, Hamilton and Montgomery counties.
Meanwhile yesterday, the House approved a bill that requires the state Apportionment Board to use statistics that the Census Bureau has adjusted for overcounts or undercounts, especially of Ohio's minorities. 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 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 said Norrenbrock. "If we grow any more tobacco next year, we'll probably have to put it in the Although Norrenbrock's methods may seem extreme, the shortage of barn space he has been trying to work around isn't that unusual now 1. that tobacco production is on the i rebound, said George Duncan, an agriculture engineer at the University of Kentucky. "I don't believe I've ever seen anybody try to put tobacco up in a grain bin, but quite a few people have converted sheds and other barns," Dun1 can said. Uncertainty over federal price supports for tobacco and fluctuations in the amount of tobacco the U.S.
Department of Agriculture has let farmters 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. The quota has been increasing since then.

"I'm probably more excited about meeting them afterwards," Griendling said. For the sports project, Griendling also cast sports announcer Mel Allen and will sculpt football coaching legend Paul (Bear) Bryant and 1936 Olympic track star Jesse Owens out of clay.

Bill seeks autopsies in sudden-death cases PR AP Sheriff John Hull leaves a South Webster residence where two people were shot to death and three were wounded.
Slaying Paulding County, was found behind a chair, Malone said. Investigators said they think Daniels arched his arm over the top of the chair and shot down at the top of her head. Branham was Mrs. Daniels' aunt. The body of Steven Rawlins, 32, South Webster, was found in a ditch near the house.
He had been shot in the head and back. 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, Tim 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 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 problems finding space cure and store tobacco, as had farmers "throughout the Burley Belt" 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 increased; their demand for American tobacco. At the 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."

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 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 communities in Ohio inconsistent and incomplete data relating to SIDS," 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.

Daniels was treated for shock at Southern Ohio Medical Center and was listed in good condition. Daniels was arrested near his home in Kentucky about 7 a.m.. He waived extradition and was being returned to Scioto County, Malone said. Arraignment was scheduled for this morning in Portsmouth Municipal Court. Sheriff's deputies had investigated reports of domestic disputes at the house several times since the couple separated.
No one had filed charges in tobacco picked up and demand is increasing, tobacco looks like it's going to be strong for the next several years. 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 for 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 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 City of Lakewood STEVEN J.

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 i 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.
