"We've had a string of good hatches, and we want to perpetuate that."

Stocks Associated Press COLUMBUS A proposed law that would put more restrictions on teen-age drivers may not please everyone, but the state senator sponsoring the legislation believes it could save lives. "The No. 1 cause of death in Ohio for people under the age of 21 is'automobile accidents," said Sen. Bruce Johnson, R-Colum-bus.

Johnson's proposed law, which cleared the Senate and is pending in the House, adds several requirements for teen-age drivers. Under the bill, teen-agers would have to have a temporary license for at least six months before they would be allowed to get a driver's license. A new driver also would have to get 50 hours of experience including 10 hours at night with a parent or guardian before getting a license. "The issue is experience, not age," Johnson said. Otlk dr.

Systems similar to Johnson's proposed law have been implemented in at least 16 other states, and accident percentages there have dropped by double-digit figures, the newspaper said.

Some teen-agers who already have licenses applauded the plan. "I think it's a wonderful idea and something that is desperately needed," said Sara Groves, 17, a senior at Berea High School. Nathan Jun. 17, a senior at St. Ignatius High School, said he liked the curfew provision.

"I can speak as a teen-ager that people have a tendency to do things like speed and not give it a second thought," Jun said. comeback' season. The allowable catch for walleye was set at 9.7 million fish, a 10 percent decrease. (Walleye quotas are calculated by numbers of fish, while the perch quota is in pounds of fish.) Ohio's share of the walleye quota is almost 5 million fish, more than twice what anglers have caught in recent years. Ohio does not allow commercial fishing for walleye.

He emphasized the cooperative is only one of options being0 considered. He believes that a willing, outside investor also would be given an audience. "That would be a lot easier," he said. The cooperative is a better approach financially than a privately-owned cooperative, Fleming noted. In particular, it would not be required to pay corporate taxes on profits paid to members.

Growers likely will be contacted after the business plan is completed. Among other things, the plan is to determine how much of the total cost would be required from the cooperative and how much could be borrowed, Fleming said. At the same time the project's leadership will search for potential customers, or other factories wanting to buy diced tomatoes or paste. Already the ABE Center has been getting calls from consulting firms, engineers, and some communities wanting to know more about what is going on, Fleming said. the Young Child tunities to learn about relations through play, said teacher Molly Sass.

"It's that five times an acre return on tomatoes over corn and soybeans," said Ron Overmyer, Sandusky County's agricultural extension agent. "That grower buys a pickup truck and parts for equipment. He provides seasonal labor. And then there are the jobs within the plant itself." The plant requires another 6,000 acres of tomatoes, and would employ 15 to 18 management people as well as 20 to 25 seasonal laborers, Overmyer said. Already 10,000 acres of processing tomatoes are grown in Ohio, including 800 to 900 acres in Ottawa County.

The business would be under a "new generation" co-op, one that would require growers to make an investment per acre if they want to grow tomatoes, Overmyer explained.
