East Jordan Ironworks has plans to lay off 80 employees as of Ian. 5. "This has been an extremely difficult decision for us to make," saidTad M. Malpass. executive vice president for the East lordan manufecturer. "We have been faced with considerably reduced orders for our products and have seen many of our customers and competitors make similar, and even more extensive, cuts." Malpass said the company's recent challenges don't result from an influx of overseas products or other competition.

Qaytord H«rald Tlm^* Saturday. D0cafnb«r 20, 2006 • A-3 Area lawmakers split on smoking ban LANSING — Northern Michigan legislators were still split on the different versions of a smoking ban being considered at the state capitol on the final day of the lame duck session. Legislators were expected to complete a longer-than-normal session Friday, before recessing for the year. Any bills not passed today will fall by the wayside and must begin the process anew next year. Earlier in the year, the Democratled House passed a smoking ban that carved out exemptions for particular businesses including the three Detroit casinos, tobacco shops and cigar Michigan State Police Gayk>rd Post Cttation Issued In rollover crash • Daniel Decor, 41, Milan, was northbound on 1-75, one-half mile south of the Cheboygan County line In Corwith Township, Wedn^day, around 4:15 p.m. when he reportedly lost control of the 2005 Ford he was driving on snow-covered roads. Decor's vehide reportedly left bars, while the Republican-led Senate passed a complete ban without any exemptions. Sen. Jason Allen. R-Traverse City, has been a vocal critic of the full ban, while Rep. Gary McDowell. D-Rudyard, said he hopes to see some form of the ban passed, and would support an exemption for cigar bars but not casinos. 'The bills we have before us now, 1 would not support," added Rep. Kevin Elsenheimer, R-Bellaire. Sen.

One possible compromise, would create for a new licensing system that would allow businesses to opt-out of the smoking ban. But this idea has Republicans and Democrats borrowing lines from one another. Both Elsenheimer and Allen said they support the idea of a licensing system. "Technically, it would create a larger government." said Elsenheimer, "But it would be relatively small and any expense should be covered by the cost of the license. We have a large enough staff to cover an additional licensing program." "It's just a tax increase," said Mc- Dowell. who is against the proposed idea. McDowell added that while he would support either the House or Senate bills, or even a conipronnsed ver- . sion, his hopes for the ban are slim and indicated Bishop was set against it. "I don't think it s going to happen becausc Bishop set up the committee to fail." he said. "He doesn't want the ban and put people on the committee who were very vocal against it." . Allen countered that the reason the ban has stalled is because of A disagreement with thiC Democratic party's Detroit leaders. "There's a rift within the Democratic caucus." he said. Elsenheimer said there is a fear that a smoking ban could shut at least one casino down, and damage revenues of the remaining two, which would, in turn, cause a loss to school funding. "I wish we didn't lie school funding to gambling proceeds," he said. "The resulting loss of revenues from a smoking ban would translate approximately to loss of S20 per child in the state." the east side of the nâdway, struck a safe was reportedly broken into a bank of snow and rolled over. at a Wilmot Township residence, troopers were able to identify and Decaire was not injured and an"est a suspect Tuesday after re- extensive damage was reported to ceiving an investigative lead from a his vehicle. neighbor of the victim.
