Greenwood, S.C., August 21, 1990 City (Continued from page 1) change because of one insurance company, but that's crossing the line." Council was slated to consider another controversial rezoning, but postponed voting when residents presented a petition protesting the change. At its last meeting, council passed first reading to rezone property on U.S. North owned by Blyth Funeral Home from residential 1 to general commercial after a public hearing. si Monday, residents also said there was only one notice of the meetings of the Greenwood County Planning Board, and people were not made aware of the proposal. Officials disputed the claim.

City Attorney Kim Charles asked council to postpone consideration the issue until he had a chance to review the petition. If 20 percent of the property owners in the area of the proposed change sign a petition opposing the change, then the city council would have to approve a zoning change by a 75 percent vote with each council Appreciation Mayor John Nave, right, presents Wallace Reynolds with an award of appreciation at Monday's city council meeting. Reynolds served 22 years on the Board of Zoning Appeals. (Staff photo by Anthony McCarron) member present. This would mean six of the seven voting members would have to approve the measure.

The council also accepted the results of the special Ward 6 election and runoff and swore in new member Durell Bowie. Council authorized the first premium payment of $119,091 to the South Carolina Municipal Insurance and Risk Financing Fund. Brown said the city is joining 12 other S.C. communities in pooling all insurance premiums and becoming self-insured. Half of the city's premium is due Oct.

1 and the rest on Nov. 1. The premiums are about $4,000 higher than the present city insurance, Brown said, but "our coverage is much, much better" in tort, collision and property damage. Another advantage, Brown said, is the renewal dates for all city insurance will be the same day, Oct. 1, which is usually when city cash flow is highest because of the receipt of tax payments.

Brown also said he expects a refund of about $35,000 from the Insurance Reserve Fund within 90 days. In other business, council: Re-appointed Nada Banes to the Housing Authority Board of Directors. Re appointed Jo Ann Purkeson, John Elsley and David Herring to the Beautification Committee. Authorized Brown to sign a grant award acceptance for $29,337 for the Greenwood DARE program. This is a 75 percent grant that will put one deputy and one city police officer in Distret 50, 51 and 52 schools for drug abuse awareness education.

The city will pay $4,890 of the remaining 25 percent of the funds for the program. The city also declared Sept. 13 as DARE day. Endorsed in principal an affordable housing program presented by Jim Garner of United Savings Bank. The program would be for lowincome families, Garner said, and offer them the chance to purchase an existing house with 100 percent financing.

Most of the families would come from area public housing projects, which would also ease the housing project's waiting list, Garner said. Garner said he would ask the city to contribute $30,000 to the project once the city's involvement was approved by the governor. Brown said the project addresses a need in the city and does not conflict with affordable housing projects the city is pursuing. Passed first reading of an ordinance appropriating $46,329.80 to purchase four new police cars. As a result of the state purchasing office giving the police car contract to Ford, the city must order cars now or wait until 1992 to be able to order, according to Brown.

The money will be taken out of the city's fund balance, which Brown said could be replenished in next year's budget. The city bought 5 new cars in January, but if this ordinance passes, buying new cars will not be on the next year's budget.

The White House announced Friday that Bush had decided to use the reserves. At the time, officials said such reserve forces could be used to fill in the ranks of military doctors, cargo handlers and other specialists. Bush returned to Maine on Monday afternoon and was spending much of today in Falmouth, playing in a fund-raising golf tournament to benefit the re-election bid of Gov.

John McKernan. He also planned to attend the funeral in Kennebunkport of his uncle, John Walker, a retired investment banker, who died Thursday at 81 after suffering an aneurism. Despite the increasing tensions in the Persian Gulf following Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait, the president seemed determined to maintain his vacation schedule in Maine albeit a vacation filled with business. Bush spent part of Monday on the telephone with foreign leaders Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Great Britain, President Francois Mitterrand of France and Turkey's President Turgut Ozal.

He praised all three for cooperating with the United States as it blockades ships that attempt to break the trade embargo against Iraq. He said strategically placed Turkey took a "courageous stand" in going against Iraq, its powerful neighbor. Bush said Mrs. Thatcher "stands tall when the going gets tough," and praised Mitterrand's "firm response and leadership" a day after the French leader pledged military enforcement of the international trade blockade against Iraq. No shots have been fired in the desert standoff, but U.S.

warships have sent warning shots near two Iraqi tankers in an effort to enforce the embargo on goods going in or out of Iraq. Asked late Monday whether the United States was prepared to stop the tankers, which kept moving despite the warning, Bush said merely, "Just watch. Just watch and see." Elsewhere in the inflamed gulf region, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney claimed success as he neared the end of a four-day trip to six Mideast countries seeking their support. The United Arab Emirates agreed to host a squadron of U.S. military transport planes.

Bush told a Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Baltimore that he was holding Iraq "responsible for the safety of American citizens held against their will." "Today, the outcome is not yet decided. Hard choices remain. But of this we are certain: America will not be intimidated," Bush told the veterans. "It could get fairly tough over there," he said later at a Republican fundraising appearance in North Kingstown, R.I. Several residents along Bush's route to the Rhode Island fund-raiser posted signs supporting the Middle East initiative.

one man's sign read: "Mr. President, This Ex-Marine Says Give 'Em Hell." While administration officials had avoided referring to the Americans as hostages, Bush told reporters Monday it was "a semantical "There's recognition of the fact that now demands are being made for the release of people, and that, I think, is the definition of hostages," he said. In Kuwait City, 12 to 14 Americans along with a number of other foreigners were taken from two hotels and moved to undisclosed locations, the State Department said. Thirty-five Americans who had been taken from Kuwait to a hotel in Baghdad were removed last week and remain unaccounted for, U.S. officials said.

Iraq announced it had carried out a plan to move Western hostages to vital military installations to use as a human shield to deter any U.S. attack. Saddam's government said Sunday that the foreigners would be allowed freedom if the United States withdrew its military forces from the Persian Gulf region and scuttled the international trade blockade against Iran and Kuwait an offer the administration quickly rejected. SAT scores (Continued from page 1) Etheridge instructed local school superintendents to provide DPI with their test results so the state can monitor their progress and study the teaching methods that are the most successful. School officials anticipated improved SAT scores, in part because of increased state pressure on schools for accountability.

California Achievement Test scores released last month, which provide a national ranking for elementary- and middle-school students, did increase markedly. DPI has put more emphasis on test results as a way of measuring school performance. Teachers consequently have planned their lessons in part according to what they know will appear on the tests. There also is an increasing effort to familiarize students with the standardized testing process. Bus costs (Continued from page 1) volves three to four days of written and on-the-road training and physical examination, said Clifford Nix, assistant transportation director for the Department of Education.

The state also provides 10 hours of in-service training annually to keep drivers abreast of new highway laws and to review skills. "We feel like our training program meets most Nix said.
