Ohio SO conts F Downtown diner closed; but is it forever? The Grape Vine Diner, of 134 Park Ave., may end up as a parking lot if it is not sold, according to owner David Moore, in his latest exploit with Amherst city officials. As proof he's serious about selling the closed eatery, Moore is putting the diner's SOs-esque decor up for auction on Saturday, Oct 16. "We're shutting off the water, the electric, and boarding up the window on Oct 18," stated Moore. "Maybe we'll put a tombstone in the window." This is the latest in a series of business moves by Moore and his companies in reaction to problems with city officials. In early April, Moore sued the city of Amherst for filing criminal charges against his Crystal Mortgage Co. in Oberlin Municipal Court The cily accused Moore's company of not fully paying their income taxes. In late August, the city dropped its criminal charges against Crystal Mortgage. The city declined the opportunity to end the civil case by issuing an apology last month. Moore seeks to recover at least the reported $100,000 in legal fees he has accumulated in his disagreements with city officials. "I want enough so that this doesn't happen again," Moore said. "I'm prepared financially for going to full trial." Moore has of late been writing letters to anyone who might be running for city offices in hope of getting "new faces" in place of Amherst city officials. "I want change in city hall," he said. Moore also plans to auction the antique contents of his Hidden Treasures business, of 125 Park Ave, at his Mojo restaurant on Oct 20. Moore's Mojo restaurant in Amherst will stay open, according to Moore. The Crystal Mortgage Co. has moved to Elyria. Throughout all the disputes with the city, Moore expressed he is still very fond of the city of Amherst.

The Comets edged out state ranked Olmsted Falls by two points, 35-37. Falls had been ranked third in the state in Division 2. Coach Teny Kemp said Gretchen Gilder, ■who finished in ninth place with a time of 21:27, had a lot to do with the margin of victory. "Gretchen Gilder ran an outstanding nee. She ran her lifetime best by over 20 seconds," Kemp said. "She passed four kids in the last half-mile, and that really helped." Barris and Shumyla took the lead early and held on to it for the entire race. Barris said her pace was faster than she had anticipated, but Kemp said he told the team just to run the way they are comfortable running. "We talked to the kids and told them just to run their own race," Kemp said. "It's the same thing we've been telling them all year." Barris finished in 20:10, nine seconds faster than Shumyla, a half- minute ahead of Lindsey Dieringer from Fairwview in third place, and nearly a full minute in front of Megan Stoyka from Olmsted Falls in fifth place.
