Wilmer and Ruth Keller seek 71.5 acres near Picnic Woods and Bicie roads, while Clarence and Pauline Harshman target 330 acres by Brethren Church Road near I-70.

Democrats seek cautious platform to avoid 1980 bickering
In Washington, Democrats draft a 1984 platform focused on contrasts with the Reagan administration rather than candidate disputes. A 14 member panel will hear from leaders and groups, with regional hearings set in New York, Birmingham, Springfield, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Houston. Party Chair Manatt and Ferraro emphasize unifying themes and broad embrace for the eventual convention document. Meanwhile Volcano Hawaii reports the Kilauea lava flow remains vigorous as molten rock rises 50 to 100 feet, but poses no threat to residents.

Hidden cost of smoking raises alarm in costing study
Boston researchers estimate a heavy smoker aged 35 to 44 who smokes over two packs daily costs society about 58987 in lifetime medical bills and lost wages. Women in the same group incur 20152, due to lower projected earnings. A higher cigarette tax could shift paying these costs onto smokers, the study says.
