Other suggestions included the county Personnel Department reviewing requirements for the posts, or the town hiring more people as deputy inspectors instead of the assistant inspector jobs. "We have some major projects that about to get started and you don't want to get caught short," councilman Charles McLiverty told Zimmermann. Zimmermann said people with inspector can command higher salaries in the private sector. He said not one applicant for the five jobs has been under 40 years old, and most are 50 or older. The Town Board met with Zimmermann in an unpublicized 6:30 p.m.

session in Supervisor Joseph Colello's Town Hall office prior to its scheduled 7:30 p.m. workshop. Stuart said the meeting did not violate the state open meetings law because it was a political caucus of Town Board Republicans. Colello and Councilman Stanley Huested were absent due to illness.

WILLIAM DEMAREST Death of The Band pianist Manuel called a suicide WINTER PARK, Fla.

(AP) Richard Manuel, a pianist and founding member of The Band, hanged himself a day after the legendary rock group played at a restaurant lounge in this Orlando suburb, police said. Manuel, 42, of Woodstock, N.Y., was found dead in the bathroom of his motel room Tuesday afternoon by his wife Arlie, said Winter Park police spokesman Rick Nuss. Nuss said police were waiting for an autopsy report from the Orange County Medical Examiner's office sometime today, "but at this point, it appears to be a suicide." Manuel was one of the five original Band performers, along with drummer Levon Helm, keyboardist Garth Hudson, bassist Rick Danko and guitarist Robbie Robertson. Manuel played keyboard instruments and drums and sang backup vocals. Guitarist Jimmy Wieder took Robertson's place for the current tour.

Manuel and The Band played two sold-out performances Monday night at the Villa Nova Restaurant's Cheek-to-Cheek Lounge. Manuel's body was found at the Quality Inn next door to the restaurant. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, The Band performed with rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins and with Bob Dylan. The group won acclaim with songs such as "Across the Great Divide" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." In 1974 The Band toured with Dylan and released the album "Before the Flood." They performed a farewell concert in 1976 which was documented by Martin Scorsese in the movie "'The Last Waltz."
