' POMEROY - .The state has announced a moratorium giving liquor permit holders time to remove Tic Tac Fruit machines from their premises before the state begins enforcing a ban on them. In April the Ohio Liquor Control Commission ruled that Tic Tac Fruit machines operated by the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Pomeroy were, in fact, electronic video gambling devices. The case is now under appeal. Now, the Ohio Investigative Unit will begin conducting investigations at liquor permit establishments on Nov. I J.. Last week, Attorney General Jim Petro issued a formal opinion refuting claims that amusement machines such as Tic Tac Fruit· are legal "skill based" games . Petro cone Iuded that when a machine employs a governor and other features that control the distribution of points and resulting payoitts, it is not a "skill-based amusement machine" and, as a result, is prohibited by Ohio law. The .machines employ a Tic-Tac-Toe fonnat with slot machine symbols, such as fruit. Winners are paid in cash by the macjlines' owners. "These machines are programmed to guarantee a min·imum rate of return for the operator regardless of a player's skill," Petro said. "Ohio law prohibits schemes of chance, which is exactly what these games are." Operating a gambling device is also against state· rules for liquor permit holders, Petro said .

On continent at greatest risk, thousands _gather in Kenya to weigh next steps on climate AP SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT NAIROBI, Kenya Government officials, scientists and activists from around the world converged on drought-stricken Kenya for Monday's opening of the U.N. conference on climate change, the first sucb session in sub-Saharan Africa, the continent at greatest risk as the world warms. A U.N. report Sunday forecast a dire future if ~ global temperatures continue to rise. One-third of Africa's species may lose their habitats by 2085 as climate zones shift, it said.

S., ' · The atmospheric accumulation of carbon dioxide, methane .and other such heat-trapping gases _ byproducts of power plants, automobiles · and other industrial and agricultu~al sources _ is blamed by scientists for at le&st some of the !-degree-Fahrenheit rise in global temperatures over the past century. Under the Kyoto accord, 35 industrial countries are obliged to reduce their emissions by 5 percent below '1990 levels by 2012. President Bush rejected the Kyoto deal in 200 I, saying it would hamstring the U.S. economy and objecting that it excluded poorer countries from its mandates . Here in Nairobi, the Kyoto countries will continue backroom talks ori what kind of emissions targets and timetables should follow 2012. But many are waiting to see whether the biggesi emitter, the United States, accounting for 21 percent of the world's greenhouse gases, will submit to a mandatory regime of cutbacks. "What I see happening in the United States is, first of · all, a lot of action at the state level," said Yvo de Boer, head of the U.N. elimate treaty secretariat, referring to such steps as California's decision to rein in emissions there. But he cited no movement by the Bush administration, and few here expect any · dramatic shift in the U.S. position. Many experts are saying industrialized nations must cut emissions by as much as 80 percent by mid-century ·to head off temperature increases as high as I0 d'egrees Fahrenheit by 2100. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.N . network of climate scientists, says rising ternperatures will expand oceans via heat' and runoff of melting land ice; shift climate zones, disrupting agriculture; and lead to more frequent and intense climate events, such as the drought now in its fourth year in East Africa. The new report, prepared by African scientists for the u.N. climate treaty secrelariat, said changes on this continent may be dramatic. · "There are likely to be large regional differences in changes in rainfall , e.g., increase in the western part · of the continent and decrease for the northern part," it said. The computer models are thus far inconelusive about the impact on precipitation in East Africa. It also said that climate change "has. the potential to undermine economic development." · A high-level British government study released last week predicts that ·the dam-age from unabated climate change will eventually cost the equivalent of between 5 percent and 20 percent of global gross domestic product each year.

Accept apologies from remorseful husband· BY KATHY MITCIIILL AND MARCY Sulwt Dear Annie: My husband, "John," and I have . been married for over 20 years, and togeiher raised three . wonderful children. I always thought John was deeply in love with me, but five months ago, I accidentally opened a business letter that came to our home addressed to him. It stated that he may be responsible for child support for an "Ann Doe." John insisted it was a mistake. He called the number on the letter and was told he may need to take a paternity test. 1\vo days later, John sat me down and admitted .that 18 years ago, when I was vacationing with our children, he · went out with friends, got drunk and had sex with another woman. He said he regretted the incident so much he thought it best forgotten. He swore he never cheated on nie again. That was three months ago, and I still speechless and numb. My heart is breaking. -John moved into. my in-laws' apartment because I could not be near him. He sent text messages four or five times a day, apologizing for hurting me and ruining our lives. He left messages on my voicemail, distraught over what he did, telling me he loves me and begging for forgiveness. I cried a lot and really tortured myself.

But does love conquer all? -Rest!~ • Dear Restless: No, but it can conquer this. John sounds trUly remorseful, and if you believe he's been faithful since, there'sno reason to think he would cheat again.

The '1988 murder of racing legend Mickey Thompson and his wife may be the ultimate cold case, having remained unsolved for nearly 19 years. But Thompson's sister wouldn't let it drop off investigators' radar. and the case, which involves the glamorous world .of top flight auto racing and a daFedevil driver ·allegedly caught 'in a feud over money, will finally come to trial on Monday. · Michael Frank Goodwin, Thompson's estranged business partner, is accused of killing the racing superstar and his wife. Trudy. . "This has been a long endurance race for justice." Thompson's sister, Colleen Campbell, said recently. "We don't plan to drop out till we get to the finish line ." Goodwin, 61, is charged with two counts of murder with the special circumstances of lying in wait and committing multiple murders . Prosecutors, however, have decided not to seek the death penalty. His _lawyer maintains there is no physical evidence or witness putting Goodwin at the crime scene or linkin~ him to arranging the killings of the Thompsons. "We've alway s maintained this casj! is based on baseless suspicion ," said defense auorney Elena Saris. "The whole defense .team feels that if the jury is allowed to hear the truth. Michael will be acquitted ." But prosecutors contend circumstantial evidence leads directly to the former concert promoter, who merged his motocross racin-g business with Thompson's before the pair had a bitter falling out. They say Goodwin became so consumed with anger after losing a $750,000 judgment to 'Thompson that he set out to kill him. The racer, who was 59 when he died, was. inducted posthumously into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1990. He set hundreds of speed and endurance records and was the first · person to travel more than 400 mph on land. He also built and drove racing 's first slingshot dragster. He and his 41-year-old wife were leaving for work in March 1988 when they were ambushed out side their home in the gated Los of Angeles suburb Bradbury. The two men who shot the couple before fleeing on bicycle s were never caught. and prosecutors are expe~ted . to argue they were"'hired by Goodwin. Authorities say the former promoter had talked of killing Thompson rather than pay him the court judgment Thompson had won . At a preliminary hearing three years ago, Gregory Keay said Goodwin , hi s cou sin , told him that before Thompson could collect his money he would "have him wasted." Goodwin's former girlfriend testified that he boasted to her that he "got away with it" after showing her a tape of the television show "Unsolved Mysteries" that focused on the case. After Thompson's death, Goodwin and his wife at the time left the country and cruised the Caribbean on their $400,000 boat for three years . He ran into legal trouble after their return and was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for lying on a loan application. . All the while, Campbell was pressing authorities to reopen the murder case and look at Goodwin as a suspect. Campbell, a former mayor of San · Juan Capistrano with wide political connections, also became an outspoken, :Jtu~rea Hetu1(.;m:twtre CJfturc~lt Church BattUV Thursday November 9tla Dinner Begins at 4:30 $7.00 Adult$ SJ.t!O Under ll Muu: CmameciBiked Cllldl:e11 or nH_...,.

"Huge win for us in the division," Billick said. · "It puts us in a position to go forward and do some good things." Steve McNair passed for 245 yards, Jamal Lewis scored a touchdown and :Matt Stover kicked four field gpals for the Ravens (6-2), who took a two-game lead over second-place Cincinnati. Since Billick fired offensive coordinator Jim Fassel and assumed playcalling duties, the Ravens have scored 61 points and McNair has played · brilliantly. He was 21-of-30 against the Bengals after going 17-of-23 in a 35-22 win at New Orleans last week. · McNair fared far better than Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer, who went 12-of-26 for 195 yards.

Carl Pickens tops the list with 530. But Johnson was in no mood to celebrate his accomplishment after Cincinnati lost for the fourth time in five games. The Bengals are ·at .500 for the first time since 2004. "We, as a team, are not playing well enough to come away with victories. No explaining neces·sary. No beating around the bush .. As a whole, we are not playing well at all," Johnson said. He was particularly upset about ' being held to four catches. "Four? Four? That's substandard. I'm supposed to be the best player and I can't even get the ball," he said. "No excuses, I didn't get the job' done." Cincinnati, which had won three straight · over Baltimore, made it interesting at the end. A 71-yard pass from Palmer to Chris Henry set up a touchdown run by Rudi Johnson that made it 23-17 early in the fourth quarter, but Baltimore responded With a field goal by Stover with 8:25 left. After Shayne Graham kicked a 31-yarder for the Bengals, Baltimore punted and Cincinnati took over at its own 24 with 3:21 to go. On fourth-and-4 from the 30, Ronnie Prude broke up a pass • to T.J .
