The Rock Hill Flyers Club has asked the York County Council to lease the group 30 acres at the York County Landfill for a radio-controlled model airplane flying field and, perhaps later, a miniature airport with run iL-ax/c 'inrnnc anH a rnntrnl Members of the club plan to present the council with a 39-page proposal Monday. The depth of the proposal only strengthens what many of the 27 club members already know: This business of flying model airplanes can be intense, costly and contagious.

'Fore' failure costs golfer $22,800 PONTIAC, Ml. ? A practice swing with a new golf club has cost James Kusmierz $22,800. His errant shot broke Velma Wild's collarbone, and an Oakland County Circuit Court jury on Friday awarded her $19,000 in damages plus $3,800 for medical expenses. Wild's attorney said Kusmierz failed to shout "fore" before hitting the ball on Oct. 10, 1984, at the Somerset Golf Club in Troy. "I love golf, but now I'm afraid to go on a golf course," Kusmierz, 52, said before the trial. "It was a freak accident, and I felt terrible about it. I've always been a careful golfer."

Q: How did you file your taxes? A: Just like everybody else. I simply listed my business as "temporary help agency." Q: What was your best financial year, and what did you gross? A: Probably 1984. And I never paid attention to gross, but my personal income after taxes was $50,000.

"Most needed the extra dollars for tuition or rent. These girls are only trying to earn an honest buck." she said. She gave all her heavily screened girls detailed preparation, as her clients demanded "nothing less than the absolute best." Each girl was given a four-hour mini-course entitled, "Everything you want to know about being a call girl." The common thread among her prestigious clients were wealth, extensive traveling and above all, loneliness.

A: Never; they don't bust escort services. They are not illegal. y: bo why did they bust yours? A: Because I had a cop who wanted a promotion, who was egged on by a greedy landlord and lied to.

They didn't have time to have a girlfriend, and when they did finally have some free time, they didn't know anybody," she said. Cachet even catered to several gay men who used the service to bring home a "nice girl" to Mom and Dad's dinner or to business affairs.
