That's according to Mark Dirkes, an executive with the company that owns the bakery. Dirkes says federal inspectors looked through the bakery today and found NO asbestos problems.
There will be additional testing. This is not the first time the bakery has been inspected because of asbestos contamination concerns. The government opened a case file on the bakery late last year, but found no major problems.

(------------)

[SUPER=03-Daleville;]

Superintendent Jack Thomas thinks so -- he wants to spend an extra 220 thousand dollars to switch to a block schedule in 1999.
Students would take four classes a semester, then switch to another four classes the following semester.
Each class period would last an extra forty minutes.
Thomas says this would allow students to take an extra two classes a year and meet new state requirements.
He also says longer classes would mean less time spent in the halls and more contact between teacher and students.
