passion. In that case, election
law experts say, it's up to
those who want to .make it

The Senate is set to vote

bill changing · everything
about elections from registra·

added last week requires
Ohioans to show identification when they register to
vote and again at the polls.
Republicans who control
the Legislature say the change
is needed to prevent voter

Gholamreza Aghazadeh. head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran , answers a question from the media during a press.conference in Tehran, Saturday. Iran's top nuclear officiaf said Saturday that his country will enrich uranium and produce nuclea r
fuel in Iran despite the U.S.-Ied international drive to curb such efforts.

At the world bridge championships in
Po rtugal a few. weeks ago, there wa s lots
of good bidding and play
and some
less than creditable efforts. But the re was
one bid th8t I am confident few - it any
- other players would have produced at
111e table.
Look only at tne South hand. You r side is
vulnerable ; th.e opponents are not. Afte r
two passes, your right-hand opponent
opens tl1ree hearts. You double for take~
out. Lefty leaps straight to six hearts. Your
partner passes, promising some values;
with little, he would 11ave doubled. What
would you do now?
The deal occurred in the Bermuda Bowl
round-robin matcn between Italy and
Sweden. {TI1ey met again· in the semifinals.) At' the ol~er table, East opened
only two 11earts, which is textbook. Over
South's double, West jumped to four
hearts. North advanced with four spades,
and South, who cou ld not lind out what
he needed Ia know and was lacing a
passed pa,tner, settled for SiK spades.
That made with an overtrick for plus
1,460.
What would you do? Probably yOu would
doUble and collect 1
Nol bad, and
gain of six intern ationa l match points. aut
you know that South is always lhe declarer in these columns , so maybe you tr ied
Si)( spades or six no-trump
Sitting SOuth was Fulvia Fantoni for Italy.
He jumped to seven no·trump!
One guesses that he was expeciing a
stronger dummy and felt that his partner,
Claudio Nunes, should have d9ubled six
hearts with that hand. But wh en the cl ub
queen dropped doubleton , Fantoni made
. his contract and Italy won 13 Imps.

·steelers battle through snow to beat Bears
BY ALAN RoBINSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSB-URGH - Finall y..
the Chicago Bears' defense
made a major misc:alculation
after eight neari )L perfect
weeks. They forgot to pack
their snow tires.
The Bears lack or offense
caught up to them · on a cby
their exceptional defense was
merely av.erage . J ~ ro me Bettis
plowed through the muck and
snow for two touchdowns and
I0 I yards as the Steelers beat
the Bears 21 -9 and ended
Chicago\ eight-game winning
streak .
Bettis. held to 22 yards on 14
carries in his previous two
games had hrs tirst I00-yard
game since getting 117 last
Dec. 26 against Baltimore.
Bettis' prev"ious season high
was 56 yards against Cincinnati
on Oct. 23. and he had only 186

Steelers outgained the Bears
363-268.
'
With the Bears' defense
allowing only 68 points during
their longest winning streak
since their 1985 Super Bowl
championship team won 12 in a
row, ~nd never more than 17
points in any game,. rookie
quarterback Kyle Orton kept
winning even while fumbling
II times and throwing 13 interceptiuns.
But, perhaps not surprisingly,
when the Bears (9-4) tinally
rieeded him to bring them from
behind, Orton ( 17-of-35, 207
yards) couldn ' t do it, or even
come close. .
The Bears managed to drive
to the Steelers' 3 following
Ward's third touchdown catch
in two games, but Orton was
sacked for an eight-yard loss on
s~cond - and-goal and threw
incomplete on third down to
force them to settle for Robbie
Gould's 29-ym:d field goal.

yards in Pittsburgh's first 12
games.
Ben Roethlisberger, all but
ignoring the deep pass due to
his bad thumb and the bad
weather, threw a 14-yard
touchdown pass to Hines Ward
on Pittsburgh 's first drive. After
that, the Steelers (8-5) played a
nearly error-free game on a day
made for mistakes to stay alive
in the AFC playoff race following three consecutive losses.
Fur a change in u series of
almost weekly
must-win
games. the Steelers won
because they gut back to basics,
something the Bears' otTense
did successfully for weeks during a winning streak that was
carried almost exclusively by
the defense.

The Steelers' three touchdowns matched a season high
against the Bears, and their 21
points were the most against
Chicago since a 24-9 loss to
Cincinnati on Sept. 25. The

"He's very confident," said
Steve Heiden, who caught a
touchdown pass. "He's
mature for his years. He's
poised, he's confident. He
was very good."
Wearing

passing hand to help him grip
the ball. Frye was on the
mark in a low-risk passing
attack of short passes and
rollouts to avoid the rusb. He
ran 3 yards on a rollout to
score on the Browns' first
possession, raising the ball
triumphantly with his right
arm as he crossed the goal
line.
"I felt much more comfortable than last week," Frye
said.

POMEROY - Opportunities to. tak~ ~niversity·level ·
courses for college credit while still in high school are being
otfered to Meigs County schools by Ohio University but to
date only Southern High School has signed' on.
According to Bill Sams of Ohio University's Information
and Technology Oftice, the university has initiated a partnership with Apex Learning Inc. and Edmap Inc. to bring online
·
courses to the area's high schools.
"The university arranges the courses through Apex, a distance learning resource. To cut down on inventory costs for
the high schools, Ohio University has arranged for EdMap to
serve as a regional textbook repository," said Sams. He noted
that Ohio University provides free administrative and technological support to the schools through the Distance Learning
Group and start-up funds of $750.
"Our vision," said Sams, is to provide Advanced Placement
(AP) and other courses, equal to or better than those in suburban schools, at a cost our schools can afford." He explained
that AP courses "provide university-level training and the
opportunity to take AP eKams to earn college credit," fulfilling a critical shortage of such programs in the aru.
·
Southern Local School District was the first school district
in southeastern Ohio to sign on to the plan, and currently 10
students there are enrolled in Apex online courses.
·
When the Meigs Local School District was contacted about
the program, Superintendent William Buckley said the district
has some questions and concerns yet to be resolved. He also
noted that the program is not free and that there is a cost to the
