An employee of Stan's Grocery at 2080 Lyndhurst Road had reportedly put the money under a counter Thursday afternoon about lp.m.

By 3 p.m., someone had discovered the bag was gone, according to the report. The incident is under investigation. Sentencing WAYNESBORO A local man was sentenced to 10 years in the state penitentiary for charges including possession of cocaine and grand larceny. Robert Wilson Argenbright, 34, of 407 Oak Ave. was sentenced Tuesday by Circuit Judge Rudolph M.

Bumgardner III to a 10-year sentence on five counts to be served concurrently. Argenbright had been indicted for charges including breaking into a doctor's office on June 26, possession of cocaine on June 30 and breaking into Hassett Gun Supply on 1300 W. Main St. and attempting to steal several revolvers. Also Tuesday, Mark Gregory Washington, 25, of 1621 New Hope Road was sentenced to one year in prison and eight years on probation after being convicted on a charge of distributing cocaine on June 30.

and for financing. "It is a significant part of our tax-exempt financing for $40 million," he said. The board disagreed with the planning commission's view of unrestricted business zoning on this much land. Sensabaugh said if the request came from someone wanting to put in a major shopping center, he would still approve it. Beverley Manor Supervisor A.R.

Hull cast the only dissenting vote. EPA reviews report on link between cancer and electrical power lines July, he said. Until then, he said, "We can't say that it is final and what the final conclusions are going to be." He said an independent panel will review work done by EPA staffers "to assure that our methodology is correct and to give us some advice as to whether or not our evidence is strong enough to declare that this (long term exposure to magnetic fields) is a probable human carcinogen or not." There have been more than two dozen studies by various organizations and scientists on the possible link between illness and the electromagnetic fields created any time an electrical circuit is energized. Though there have been findings suggestive of a cancer effect, the link has not been universally accepted by scientists. A new understanding in recent years of how individual cells can be affected by even very low levels of electromagnetic radiation, however, has caused a closer Roanoke 68 r- TENN.

Money stolen WAYNESBORO Anne E. Salembier reported to the Waynesboro Police Department the theft of a money bag containing more than $1,000 from her 117 Poland St. home Monday. The bag reportedly was taken between 6 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m.

Monday, according to the Waynesboro police report. The incident remains under investigation. Flag stolen WAYNESBORO An American flag was stolen from a city bank Monday night, according to a Waynesboro police report. The flag, valued at $75, was reportedly taken from a pole in front of Community Federal Savings Bank at 2930 W. Main St.

between 9:30 p.m. Monday and 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Michael O'Hara of Fort Defiance and Riverheads Supervisor Thomas F.

Sensabaugh wanted to know who would be responsible for extension of the water and sewer lines. "We will bear the costs for our needs," said Cooper. O'Hara and Robert Anson of Verona both asked the board to table its decision on the rezoning until more information about whether the hospital will be built was given. Board members stressed they were only acting on a rezoning request, not a final decision on the construction of a hospital. "Is this rezoning required for your CON applicaiton?" asked Curry.

Cooper said it was not required, but a permanent rezoning is favorable both for the CON review River Gardens Berry Patch Go Picking Now 4442 for picking report 81 (exit 60) on for big barn. At Driver charged WAYNESBORO Margaret T. Ross, 66, of Rt. 3, Waynesboro, was charged after a two-car crash at the intersection of West Main Street and Stonewall Drive left one person injured Tuesday morning, according to a Waynesboro police report. Ms.

Ross was stopped at the stop sign on Stonewall Drive, then pulled her car into the intersection, into the path of a car driven by Todd E. Hill, 26, of 2501 Cortland the report stated. Police charged Ms. Ross with failing to yield the right-of-way in the 8:04 a.m. crash.

James McCormick, 72, a passenger in Ms. Ross' vehicle, was treated at Waynesboro Community Hospital and released, said a hospital spokesman. Reward offered WAYNESBORO The city of Waynesboro is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for burning a backhoe Sunday morning. The backhoe was on Meadow-brook Road when someone apparently broke the window with a rock, then set fire to paper put inside the tractor's cab, according to a Waynesboro police report. Damage to the backhoe was estimated at $5,000.

WASHINGTON (AP) An Environmental Protection Agency study still under scientific review suggests that there is increasing scientific evidence of a link between heavy electrical currents and some types of cancer. The study, an EPA official said Tuesday, shows that research over the last decade has established at least a tentative connection between leukemia and some other cancers, and the slowly varying magnetic fields created by power-j ful alternating electric currents. Richard Guimond, director of EPA's Office of Radiation, said the report has no original research, but rather is a review of a variety of scientific studies of the human body effects of long-term exposure to magnetic fields created by power lines. At one time, he said, studies showed no link between electrical current and human cancer.

The new report, however, said Guimond, "suggests that there is in fact stronger and stronger evidence being developed as more and more of these studies are done." "Over the past 10 years studies have been developed that show evidence of links" between cancer and electrical current, he said. Guimond said the EPA review "tries to analyze all of those studies to determine if there is a weak link, a strong link, no link." After the report is reviewed by a group of scientists, it will be available for public review sometime this summer, probably in BASIL N. RICHARDSON HOUSTON, Texas Basil N. Richardson, 56, of Houston died Sunday (May 20, 1990) at the home of his sister, Mrs. Eunice Chaney, 9415 Harmon Houston.

He was born at Narrows, a son of Clarence and Iona Richardson. He attended Narrows High School and was a World War II veteran. Surviving in addition to his mother are three sisters, Mrs. James Reeves of Bridgewater, Mrs. Eunice Chaney of Houston and Mrs.

Fred Kenworthy of Flint, five brothers, Eugene of Greenville, Thomas and Donald, both of Mt. Morris, Mich; James of Bridgewater, and John Richardson of Houston; and a number of nieces and nephews. A service will be held 11 a.m. Friday at Riffe Funeral Chapel, Narrows. The family will receive friends from 79 p.m.

Thursday at the funeral home. look at a possible link between electrical currents and cancer. For instance, a 1987 study in Denver claimed that children living near electric power lines were 1.7 times more likely to develop leukemia than Denver children living away from power lines. Other studies in recent years have suggested there is a higher incidence of leukemia and brain tumors among people exposed to electrical fields on the job. These would include electrical power line and telephone line workers.

Other studies have shown that even very low levels of electromagnetic radiation, such as from ordinary household applicances, can affect specific cells, but whether or not these cells are actually injured remains a controversial question. All households, and almost all power lines, use alternating current, changing direction 60 times a second and producing an electromagnetic field varying at the same frequency. This Lorraine G.

There is no need to wait for a "special You have no doubt heard about "hearing devices" that "eliminate hearing We have examined these "devices" and found them to be a commonly available automatic volume control hearing aid which the user cannot adjust. We feel this aid is useful for those who cannot operate a volume control; however, most people like to be able to regulate the volume themselves. You may also have heard about miraculous hearing aids that "eliminate background In our opinion, the limited benefit of this type aid is usually not worth the additional cost. Most background noise consists of human voices. We believe it is not technically possible to make a hearing aid that only picks up the voices that you want to hear and eliminates all others.
