"This is something that's going to be with us for a while," Mayor Jac~ Ford said Monday. Police say the squabble between the two neighbors was the catalyst for the sidewalk march planned by the National Socialist Movement. The ncoNazi group said it wanted to draw attention to gangs and crime in the neighborhood, · once a thriving Polish community that's now a mix of whites, blacks and Hispanics. A mob that included rival gang members turned out Saturday to protest the supremacist group. But when -the march was called off. they turned their anger toward police who they thought were protecting the neo-Nazis. Protesters looted and burned a corner bar, smashed the windows of a gas station and tossed rocks and b!'icks at police. Twelve officers were mjured and 114 people were arrested .. The area known as Polish Village once · was the heart and political center of Ohio's fourth-larilest city, though it's hard now to find a place that still serves kielbasa and pierogis. Jimmy Carter once dropped in during his presidential run, stopping at Jim & Lou's Bar, the tavern that rioters torched. "It was an institution," said Keith Wilkowski, a prominent local Democrat who grew up down the street. Many longtime residents have either died or moved out, leaving behind an area that is poorer and more • diverse. High-paying factory jobs in the auto and glass industries have dwindled in the Lake Erie city that's about 50 miles south of Detroit.

A similar exception to the ban on releasing such information exists for holders of concealed weapons permits; which protects those records but allows reporters to view them.

Only one out to go for the Houston Astros to reach their first World Series. Only one problem - it was Albert Pujols. And with one mighty swing, Pujols saved St. Louis by hitting a stunning three-ruri homer off Brad Lidge in the ninth inning as the Cardinals rallied for a 5-4 victory Monday night in Game 5 of the NL c.!Jampionship series. "I just couldn't believe I did it," Pujols ~aid. "Couldn't be better than · this.·" . · Pujols' shot over the train tracks high abo~e the left-field wall sent the series back to St. Louis for Game 6 on Wednesday night, with Mark Mulder set to face Houston's Roy Oswalt. The Cardinals also staved off the wrecking ball at Busch Stadium, scheduled for demolition as soon as their season is over. One strike from ecstasy before David Eckstein's ninth-inning single, the Astros dropped to an agonizing 05 with a chance to clinch the NLCS. One moment, Minute Maid !;'ark was buzzing. The next, it was silent. "It was devastating. We thought we were going to the World Series. We were there," Lance · Berkman said. "Obviously, it was a high to a low, and it wasn't much fun." After winning pitcher Jason lsringhausen closed it with two innings of scoreless relief, shocked fans filed quietly out of the ballpark.

RUSSO CANTON The University of Rio Grande Redwomen soccer team dropped a 2-0 decision at Malone last Saturday afternoon. That victory earned Malone head coach Todd Clark his I OOth win at the school. The Pioneers are now 8-4-3 overall and 3-1-1 in the AMC South Division. Rio Grande (1-8, 1-6 AMCS) continues to struggle offensively, but defensively the Redwomen continue to battle and stay close. The effort has not been good enough to get a victory, however. Malone broke the scoreless tie in the 69th minute when Megan Gasparin scored from 20 yards out off a pass from Ashlev Dennerlein. Fleur Wynne-Morgan added a goal off a corner pass from Julie Herbst to secure the 2-0 win. Malone tallied 17 shots on goal while Rio took no shots and senior goalkeeper Jenny Olding posted 15 saves. Rio's losing streak climbs to seven games in a row. The Redwomen have been held .scoreless in six straight contests. Rio will host Asbury College on Tuesd&y afternoon in the home finale.

' ,. Vote No on Issue 2 for the following reasons. Firs~ the adoption of this amendment is likely to lead to a signif· icant increase in cases of fuiudulent voting in Ohio, as experienced in . other states that have adopted similar proposals. The proposed amendment does not contain a reliable method to protect the integrity of votes caSt early, nor does it provide adequate saf<glW"ds to ensure that only eligible and qualified voters would be able to use these procedures. ' I An elector to whom a ballot has been mailed, but which has not been received by the issuing county board of elections prior to the election, may cast a provisional ballot on election day.

The amendment does not establish a statewide standard that must be followed for des· ignation of times and locations for early voting.

A "pay-to-play" culture · reflected in "Coingate," undisclosed golf outings, and ongoing federal and state investigations - permeates state government. The endless drive to raise campaign money ·has tempted too many to cross cthi· callines. · · Rather than limiting the influence of big money, the General Assembly made the problem worse last year by raising individual contribution lim· its from $2,500 to $10,0001 The legislature also lifted a ban on corporate contributions to political parties. Issue 4 will restore reasonable contnbution limits and reduce the influence ofbig money in government. Underthis amendment,!individual contributions will be limited to $2,000 per election for statewide candidates and $1,000 per election for state legislative candidates. The ban on corporate contributions to political parties will be restored. ' The current influence of big money contributors in slate government has corrupted government. Ohio's sky high contribution limits only widen the gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" making it increasingly dif· ficult for average citizens to compete in the public arena. Government stops listening to the average citizen and only hears !he big money con· tributor.

High Street, Columbus. Ohio 43214 Herb Asher .and Ron Alexander, Co-Chairs For more information: www.ReformOhioNow.org PROPOSED ARGUMENT AGAINST ISSUE 3 Vote No on Issue 3 for the.following reasons. •!• The proposed amendment would change how Ohio political campaigns are fundedto benefit the wealthy and labQr unions, to the disad· vantage of all other Ohioans. · (• The proposed amendment allows labor unions to funnel unlimited amounts of money into the political process through a new type of polit. ical organization that is deceptively labeled a "small donor" action committee. In addition, there would be no obligation placed on labor unions to provide full disclosure regarding the source of this money, which could even be given people outside Ohio. ~ The proposed amendment would give an unfair advantage to wealthy candidates because they would be permitted to use unlimited amounts of personal money in their campaigns. However, unlike Ohio's current law, the proposed amendment would not permit an indi· vidual running against a wealthy opponent to raise additional campaign dollars to make the election fair and competitive. •!• The proposed amendment would also place drastic restrictions on the ability of all other Ohioans to raise money to combat the undue Ill· fluence of the wealthy and labor unions in Ohio elections. These re· stnctions are designed to silence the voices of ordinary Ohioans in the elections process.

The Amendment defines the "competitiveness number" of a plan by.a mathematical formula, that is the product of the number of balanced districts multiplied by two, plus the total number of other re· maining competitive districis, minus the total number of unbalanced uncompetitive districts multiplied by two. , The competitiveness number for a general assembly plan is the sum of the competitiveness num· · ber for the bouse of representatives districts and the competitiveness n)llllber for the senate districts. Provide that the :·measure of competi· tioo" of a legislative district be based on a calculation using the two avemge partisan indexes for the district, which are calculated on the basis of the percentage of votes received by each of the two partisan candidates who received the two highest vote totals statewide in each of the three closest general elections during the four previous even· numbered years prior to adoptin$ a redistricting plan, keeping the index for one of the partisan affiliations always as·the minuend and the index for the other partisan affiliation always as the subtrahend from district to district througliout a redistricting plan.
