Tlie city may have to spend as
much as $70,000 to renovate the

at the Oct 5 city council finance
committee meeting.
The city purchased the building
about three months ago to relieve
overcrowding in city hall. It also
will provide temporary administrative otfice space while city, hall is
being re-roofed and repaired.
The city will rent basement space
lo a beauty shop and the Amherst
Public Library to help defer the cost
of buying the building.
It includes construction of a ramp
for the physically challenged, painting, sew carpeting, the installation
of additional electrical outlets for
computers and moving or purchasing office dividers, according to

The city plans to apply for a
Community Development Block

added.
In the meantime, the city is preparing for the renovation of city hall
at a cost of $420,000.
Last week, city council approved
the issuance of bonds for the funds
for the re-roofing, and repair of the
bell tower, both which are badly

Members of 4-H
group test their
culinary skills
by QLEN MLLER
Newe-Times reporter
The first time was a charm
for members of the Amherst
Critters and Such, a few of
whom could one day be titillating the palettes of
customers at restaurants.
The 17 would be chefs are
members of a local 4-H club
who spent the summer learning the pros and cons of outdoor cooking — on grills
none the less.
Although 27 kids belong to
the club, only 17 decided to
test their outdoor cooking
skills. For most, it was their
first 4-H project, one which
turned out to be a delicious
—- and educational —
success.
All are nine to 13 years
old.
For their efforts, they captured first place with a score
of 98 percent at a county-
wide 4-H cook-off held in
late July at Sheldon Woods, a
Lorain County Metro Park.
Their advisors, Cheri Hef-
feman, Terry Myosky and
Wendy Los, could not help.
They didn't need to because
apparently they had done a
