See Page 81 BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM BY BEnt SERGENT POMEROY-. A recent bill passed by the Ohio House of Representatives is being widely supported by hunting and firearms groups across the state who wish to increase participation of young people irt hunting, though the bill is not without opposition. House Bill296 is known as the Apprentice Hunting License Bill which wi)l allow a new or apprentice hunter to hunt under the guidance and mentoring of a licensed adult prior, to the completion of an Ohio Hunter Education or Trapper 'Education Course. This adult mentor must be 21 years of age or older and possess a valid Ohio hunting license. The mentor must be with 1he apprentice hunter at all times. Apprentice licenses · ,are limited to three purchases. After that the Ohio Hunler Education or Trapper Education Course is required for the apprentice hunter to receive a youth hunting licensy. One thing both supporters and opponents of the bill agree upon is that it is designed to recruit yo.~ng hunters. Buckeye Firearms· Association supports the bill, citing studies that indicate a decline in the participation in hunting and trapping by young people.

In a prime-time addre ss, Bush acknowledged setbacks and sacrifice and cautioned there would be more violence ·and death in the months · ahead. "Some look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude that the war is lost and not worth another dime or another day," he said.

Wood read an article titled "Mary" from the 2005 Christmas edition of the Ideals Magazine. The article described the thoughts and fears Mary must have had following the annunciation and throughout her pregnancy. Following Wood's presentation, club member Betty Lou Dean read an entertaining children ' s story titled, "How Santa Clause Got His Job." All 15 members of the club attended the dinner meeting, including honorary members Kathryn Mora and Pauline Ridenour. Ridenour is a charter member of the club, but due to poor health, she attends only rarely. Mora became gravely ill following last year's Christmas meet- ing, and she was well enough now to attend her first meeting since then. Members also brought eight guests. including forth -grader, Meredith Gaul. A tradition of the Chester · Garden Club is .to hold a gift exchange. in which members and participating guests decorate their pa.c kages using plant material. Prior to the gifts being exchanged, all guests meet separately to judge the festively- wrapped packages and award prizes. l I' : . · I Father says school safety bill only first step BY USA CORNWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CINCINNATI Jarod Bennett has left a legacy beyond the loving memories shared by his ·family and friends.

A sense of foreboding entered my saintly, pious heart arter glancing at the publication criteria for letters and not.ing what appears to be a signal change in policy: "Letters of thanks to organizatiOns and individuals will not be ac'cepted for publicljtion." ·. Anxiety now permeates the feverish mind of Fields. !.,etters strongly critical of individuals and organizations are a no-no, and now letters of thanks are prohibited. Gould the above strictures eveniually result in an editorial page that is neutered and stripped of its ability to speak truth to power? Could it become bland and non-informative, imparting. a tone of languidity and antisepsis? My idea of an editorial page is that of a forum for charge ahd counter charge, for written thrust and parry among the c'itizenry as they clash over controversial issues of the day; a page ringing with fa~t-based denunciations and zinging rirostes. These characteristics are part and parcel of a healthy opinion page. Such a page is one alive and throbbing with vitality. To remove these characteristics is to enfeeble it. . _ Having stated the above, I also recognize that letters written in strident percussive tone must remain on an adult level. and this is where judicious editing enters the fray. My own view is that the sole functions of an editor are to polish a bit (thus satisfying the above concern) and policing the contents for troublesome statements possibly iRvolving libel and defamation. Beyond these functions, an editor should hesitate to go. ·On those occasions when faced with a letter considered a bit too powerful, may I suggest the following caveat/disclaimer: "Although this new spaper strongly disagrees with th-e characterizations and ~tatements regarding the individ. ua·ls ahd organizations named in the above letter, it _adheres to its long-s tanding ' belief that all opinions out to b'e provided a public forum for expression.

Web: www mydailysentinel com Monday, December 19, 200~ Prince Alwaleed's 'McAuliffe' moment There's one good thing about the news that Alwaleed bin Tala!, the rich· est Saudi prince in the world, just bought Harvard and Georgetown universities -or, at least buried them up to their ivy 'in $40 million. It gives everybody reason to relive a McAuliffe moment. McAuliffe , of course, was Oen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, who, in response to a Nazi invitation to surrender during the 1944 Battle of the Bulge, sent back a one-word reply: "NUTS.'' · In kindred spirit, but in a very different war, Rudy Giuliani gave the United Stales a McAuliffe moment after he realized that Mr. Alwaleed's $10 million donation to help rebuil\1 the Twin Towers after 9/11 was in fact the price of principle. Having signed his hefty check, Mr. Alwaleed spoke his nasty piece : basically, that the United Stales had it coming- "it" being 9/11 given America's support of Israel. Rudy didn't say "nuts," but he i mm~diately returned the money. "Not only are tho se statements wrong," Mr. Giuliani said, "they're part of the problem.'' Sigh. That was then. Now, Mr. "Part of the Problem" is a Crimson sugar daddy, ·a Hoya honey pot, whose millions will buy a colossal expansion of Saudi-friendly Islamic studies at the heart of the Ivy League and inside the Beltway. Smart. Not that anybody ever said a man worth $23.7 Monday, December 19,2005 Pagei\4. Diana West billion wasn't smart. But Mr. Alwaleed explains his largesse this way: "Bridging the understanding between East and West is important for peace and tolerance.'' Funny how that bridge goes only one-way. We won't ever. for example, see a Saudi prince (or · anyone else) plunk down cold cash to expand - or even establish - Christian studies in Saudi Arabia, where exercising freedom of a non-Islamic religion is a crime. ·This doesn't stop Mr. Alwaleed frorn chattering about "bridges between East and West.'' Maybe that's because, as a mega-mogul of the East with major holdings in the West, he crosses them all the time. Take his media holdings. In the West, they include a sizeable stake in Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. which o,wns Fox News, "fair and balanced" pride of any parent company. And Mr. Alwaleed · takes pride -pride of ownership, anyway - in Fox as well.

COLUMBUS A bill that would tighten the state's anti-terrorism laws. brought together in opposition a rare coalition of liberal Democrats and co nservative Republicans. The legislation on its way to Gov. Bob Taft would for the first time in Ohio allow a police officer io arrest anyone in a public place who refuse s to provide name, ·address and date of birth when asked. even if they have done nothing wrong. Police would have to suspe~t the person has either committed a cr ime or is about to commit a crime or has witnessed a serious crime suc h as murder. Officers now can arrest someone if they suspect the person had committed a crime, but they can 't· force the ' perso n to identify himself.

Commission votes to toughen campaign finance regulations ' ~ The Daily Sentin~l • Page As www .mydailysentinel.com ,I was a way to cover up a loophole that should not have existed. Fedor is a nonvoting member of the commission. Independent agencies are not covered under the regulations becau se politicians arc not responsible for awarding their contracts, according to those who reviewed an informal opin· ion from Attorney General Jim Petro. His office refused to release the op,inion, citing attorney-client priv1lege. The Ohio Turnpike Commission, an independent agency. requires contractors to cert ify they have not given more than $1 ,000 to the governor in the past two years. That standard is voluntary, said Ohio Turnpike director of contract administrati0n Kathy Weiss. The agency does not fall under the same contract regulations as many other state agencies, she said. The School Facilities Commission lias not directed contracts to political donor s. Taft · spokesman Mark Rickel and commission spokesman Rick Savors said. "We can't unring the bell on anything that"s happened ... but it' s not like there's been a pandemic of problems out there ," Savors said. Some companies, such as Dani s Building· Construction Co., have received contracts after officials donated to Taft, but such situations don 't seem to be the norm, according to stale records by The Columbus Dispatch. Danis was part of a consortium of builders awarded a $1 .5 million Dayton Schools contract in 2003. Principals with the ·company had donated $5.500 to Taft's campaign in 2002. Rickel said the governor supports the commission's vote and said it is an important step m brin ging the agency's ethics policy in line with other stale agenCies. "Ri ght now, there 's an exemption in the law that the governor thinks should be dosed," Rickel said . The regulation was set if! 1974 and prevents unbid stale contracts from going to · companies whose major owners or spouses have given at least $ 1,000 to the campaigns of officials who oversee th e agency.

Sitting West was Agustin Madala. who four years ago in Paris was the youngest· ever compet itor in this event at 14 years of age. East was Pablo Lambardi, by con· trast almost a veteran at 44 . Lambardi opened with a natural one.club, Eric Rodwell (South) overcalled one dia· mond , Madala responded one spade. and Jeff Meckslroth cu~ ·bid two clubs with his surprisingly strong hand. South , with promising distribution, mentioned his second suit, and North jumped to four hearts. If West leads his singleton , he would deleat tile contract eaSily. We'st .would win the first round of trumps with his king, put his partner on lead with a spade, and receil/8. a diamond ·ruff. The hear! ace . would be the fourth defensive trick. Bul leading declarer's first-bid suit is rarely good, and Ea&t's pass over North's two· club cue-bid. had denied as many as three spades. (With three spades, East · would ha'i'e made a sul)port double.) So West. hoping to give his partner a ruff ·there, led a low spade, Ea'st winning with the ace and returning the 10. Oedarer rose with his spade king , played a dia· mond to lhe dummy, and discarded his spade jack on the club ace. South ruffed a club in his hand and led a lov.: heart, but th~ Argentines made no mistake. West went in with his heart king and led anoth· er spade, East wffed with the heart ace and played back a diamond for his part· ner to ruff.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS • Lions fans hope march 'wm bring Seaplane crashes off Miami Beach; at least 19 killep, A2 ./ -ouster orGM DETROIT (AP) Frustrated about cheering for a team perennially mired in the depths of the NFL, Detroit Lions fans marched around Ford Field on Sunday to demand the firing of team president Matt Millen. Chanting and carrying signs, they also screamed for the Ford family to · sell the team to someone who cares about winning. Steven B'eaton, 32, of Dearborn, said he didn't think the rally would do any good. "We've got two good teams here and the other two are horrible," he said. 'That's got to chll'!ge." The ma'rch, sponsored by a local sports talk radio station, began at a bar five blqcks .from the stadium about two hours before Sunday's home finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fans carried signs that said "Fire Millen," "Commitment to Ineptness," and "Fed Up." One wore a hat reading "Blame Ford First." Among their chants were calls of "Ho, ho, ho. Millen must go." Many marchers wore orange to support the Bengals· rather than the home team. They also wore shirts calling for Millen's firing arid marking their participation in the "2005 Angry Fan March." The Lions are 4-9 this year and have the league's worst record during the past five seasons, 20-57. ·At the previous home game, fans displayed "Fire Millen" signs and chanted for his dismissal. The scene turned into a circus of sorts when one fan ran from section to section, dodg'ing security, with a "Fire Millen" Isign, before he wa,~ tackled as he ran up steps toward the exits.
