(Charlene Hoeflich) ' RACINE- A last-minute offer has been put on the table to purchase the old Southern High School building, but the Southern Local School Board has opted to continue with the demolition as planned. Dependin~ on the weather, the' demolition is tentatively setfor Jan. 18. Southern Superintendent Bob Grueser said he received a phone call prior to the New Year's holiday from Mike Welsh about the possible purchase of the main structure and the property for use as a machine shop. Grueser told Welsh that if he put a proposal in writing by Jan. 6, he would inform the school board at the next possible meeting. Welsh wrote a letter which Grueser presented to the school board Monday night. In it, Welsh said he would "be willing to buy the school and two acres for $40,000 or the school and the entire acreage for $80,000." A former machine shop owner in Chicago, Welsh said lhe high school building would make an ideal facility for a new shop. "I would like \he opportunily to purchase the school and the acreage," Welsh said in the letter. "I understand that it must be sold either by sealed bid or at auction," he added. "I would prefer to buy at auction. Again, I understand the demolition contract has already been ·approved, but being new to the area, the information about this proP.erty has just been made avmlable to me." Welsh's plans for the building include updating all mechanical systems in the interior, replacin~ or . refurbishinj! all the wmdows and providmg new doorways for access to the rear of the building. The letter stated that the front facade of the building ·will be made available to the school board. When the renovations are completed, the letter said that Welsh hopes to have 5 to 10 machinist jobs available within a year with salaries set at $10 to .$28 an hour commensurate with experience. After reading the lettc;r, the school board and the superintendent discussed all possible angles of this tough decision. School board member 'Don Smilh said the plans for demolition must be carried through. While he was intrigued by Welsh's proposal, the school board might be considered in breach of its contract with Pullins Excavation Co. if the demolition was canceled. "Stay the course and let her go," Smith said. Grueser said the contract, with a bid quote of about looKing forward to a productive first term. His first priority is helping put the budget in order.

Craig Strafford, MD, Holzer Clinic president. . This is the highest award granted by this accrediting agency, and it means that Holzer Clinic has met nationally recognized standards for quality health care. More than 1,300 ambulatory health care organizations ucross the United States are accredited by the AAAHC. "Accreditation underscores our long-standing commitment to providing the highest possible leveb of quality care to the communi- ty we serve," said Strafford. "We are pleased and proud to have our efforts recognized with this accreditation. n Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an e)ltensi ve onsite, peer-based survey of its facilities and services. Among the types of ambulatory health care organizations that can seek AAAHC accreditation are ambulatory and office based surgery centers; single and multispecialty group practices; college and university health services; dental group practices; community health centers; occupational health centers and managed care organizations. The wtde variance illustrates how much is at stake any decision to attack a country holding at least one-tenth of the world's oil reserves. But the subject of war and oil is a sensitive one, and the Bush administration has said little about the promise and peril for consumers from the gathering conflict. "There are enormous ramifications for consumers, given that Iraq's reserves are second behind Saudi Arabia," said Sen. Ron Wyden, DOre., who serves on · the Senate energy committee. "Now is the time to fmd out how the administration is going to address this issue." The frustration crosses the political spectrum. 'This needs to be done in an orderly fashion," said Ariel Cohen, an oil economist with the conservative Heritage Foundation who favors oust- World's largest bond fund, in a recent report. The Fed has pushed down short-term interest rates so much - its 12 rate cuts over the last two years have left rates at 40-year lows of 1.25 percent - that there isn't much more that it can do to lift the economy by easing · rates. The government, therefore, may have to turn to other means to get the economy going again. An option often talked about these days is reflation. That is when money is pumped into the economy by a range of monetary and fiscal policies, including tax cuts. Rear Admiral John C.

There are already pockets of deflation at work. During the holiday season, retailers had to significantly slash prices on clothing, toys, computers and electronics to get consumers to buy.

While economists are divided on whether widespread deflation is even a risk, the Federal Reserve officials, in their usual cagey, indirect way, have talked about the possibility of deflation emerging and the importance of fighting it.

Also possible: The market will simply adjust and prices will stay at today's $1.40- " NEW YORK (AP) Whenever there's talk about inflation, it's usually a.bout how higher prices can hurt the economy. But maybe a !iny bit of inflation nght now wouldn't be such a bad thing. That's not to say that there should be hope for consumer prices to skyrocket for a proloJJged period of time. But a slight nse in inflation could help stimulate the economy and pull it from a possible deflationary slump. : "A little inflation is like grease in the engine that keeps the economy humming, while deflation is like throwing sand into it," said Sung Won Sohn, an economist at Wells Fargo & Co. in Minneapolis. Inflation isn't a problem right now. In fact, some econmnists say the low inflation rate, which has been trending around 2 percent to 2 .5 percent over the last year, exemplifies disinflation - or a slowdown in price increases. It's true that some possible inflationary pressures, namely higher oil prices, do exist and could become a more serious threat if they linger through the ne)lt year. · But the focus today is on deflation, and how to stem the damaging economic effect that falling prices could cause. Deflation works like this: A weak economy forces businesses to lower prices, and that spurs consumers to hold back on spending because they think even better deals are on the way. Then businesses cut prices even more to stimulate demand, which in tum lowers profits.

(AP) - Upon further review, the officials working the NFC wild-card game in San Francisco botched the final play of the game as much as the· New York Giants. The NFL' s director of officiating apologized to the Giants on Monday, acknowledging that they were denied the chance to kick a potential game-winning field ~oat because the officials faded to call pass interference penalty on a comical final play. · "Do you .like it? Absolutely not!" Giants coach Jim Passel said ~ondaY. after meeting with hts team less than (24 hours after their crushing 39-38 loss to the 49ers. "We're the ones who end up suffering, but that's the way it is." What made the day so surprising was that the NFL confessed so readily. Trailiog by a point with 6 seconds to play, the Giants lined up for a 41-yard fieldgoal attempt. A bad snap by Trey Junkin prevented Matt Bryant from attempting the kick, but that's where . a series of errors came into play. Holder Matt Allen picked up the ball, rolled to his right and threw a pass downfield to guard Rich Seubert, who was eligible on the play. Before the pass arrived, N iners defensive end Chike Okeafor knocked down Seubert for what should have been · a pass interfer. ence penalty, said Mike Pereira, NFL director of officiating. That penalty was not called by referee Ron Winter's crew. Instead, they called a penalty on Giants guard Tam Hopkins for being downfield illegally and declared the game over. Af.ter the game, Winter said the interference happened to the ineligible receiver, which was wrong. Pereira said the correct call should have been offsetting penalties, which would have given the Giants one more chance to kick the 41yard field goal. "Bummer!" 49ers coach Steve Mariucci said after the league explained the play that is now a major footnote to the second-biggest comeback in NFL playoff history. "That's the way it goes," Mariucci said. "What do you want me to say? Just like coaching and ~laying, in officiating, there s never going to be a perfect game." Mariucci, Okeafor, Seubert and Passel all said there was pass interference. But since it wasn't called, the Giants cleaned out their lockers on Monday and the 49ers started getting ready to play the Bucs in Tampa Bax this weekend. ' It should not have come down to that," 86-year-old Giants co-owner Wellington Mara said. .

Allen scored 27 points, inc! uding 13 during a decisive third-quarter run, to spark the Bucks past the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-94 on Monday night. "He knew I was hobbling tonight," said Cassell, who missed much of the second half. "Ray tried to take over and couldn't have done it in a better fashion." Allen hit three 3-pointers and scored 16 points in the third quarter, including 13 in a 3:50 span when the Bucks turned a 65-62 lead into an 81-71 advantage. "I haven't been 11hooting particularly well and my ankles are hurting," said Allen, who missed one game Dec. 31 with a sore right ankle. "I had to stay aggressive," he said. ."You hit your third shot and start thinking. Then you make the fourth, and know it's on then.

Peppers capped his strong rookie season Monday by winning The Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. " I thought that my suspension would hurt my chances at winning this award, because it seemed like everyone had forgotten me," said Peppers, who missed the final four games for violating the league's drug policy - he used a dietary supplement that contained a banned substance.

Under new coach John Fox, he was the cornerstone in a unit that stressed speed and strenlllb and gave Carolina its first true pass rusher. The Panthers finished the season with 52 sacks, ranking second to Philadelphia. Part of that improvement came from the rest of the line, which raised its level of play while alongside Peppers. Defensive end Mike Rucker had the best season of his career and second-year tackle Kris Jenkins made the AllPro team. Fox won't give Peppers all the ~lory for improving Carohna's defense. but he knows the rookie deserves some of the crCdit. "I would be presumptuous to say who it was because of - I just know this D went : from being last to being sec: ond and he played a tremen: dous role in that," Fox said. But he also made his mark off the field, giving fans who had walked away from the team the year before a budding star to follow. Peppers didn' t have to work hard to win the fans over. A quiet, almost shy 22year-old from Wilson, N.C., he was a star in football and basketball at North Carolina before leaving school a year early for an NFL career. His familiarity helped, but it was his play on tbe field that solidified his popularity. "Everyone was saying you are taking him just because he is from Carolina," Fox said. "No, you better be right with the No. 2 pick in the draft. But that is a little bonus for an organization and . the pc:ople in the Carolinas. It's 1cing on the cake."

"The victories.were hard helped the Steelers score 22 to come by and the losses points in the fourth quarter. Giants from PageB1 play in the third quarter. Jeff Oarcia and the 49ers stole the momentum after that and scored the final 25 points, including a ·gamewinning 13-yard touchdown pass to Tai Streets with a minute left. The touchdown and the ensl!ing two-point conversion attempt were both marred by ugly skirmishes between both teams. The end of the game was just as ugly with the bad snap, the non-call on the pass interference and two mistakes by Allen before he even threw the pass to Seubert. Since it was only third down on the field-goal attempt and the Giants had a tim~ut left, Allen could have taken a knee after the bad snap and called a timeout. That would have forced Bryant to kick a 50-yard field goal. Allen also could have throw the ball out of bounds near the line of scrimmage, giving the Giants another shot. It wasn't all Allen's fault, of course. Fassel and his coaches didn't discuss the possibility of a bad snap before the play and Bucks from PageB1 strength in my legs and every shot I took was short. It's the first time for this, but injuries are part of the game." Cleveland tried to mount a comeback as Wagner hit two consecutive 3-pointers, followed by a 3 by Davis, but Allen hit a 22-footer to put the Bucks back in command at 98-90. . "He got it going and I know when he gets that look, I'm getting him the ball no matter what," Bucks _guard Kevin Ollie said. Cassell, who had 69 points in two previous wins over the Cavs and is averaging 20.3 overall, played briefly in the fourth . He hit a 12-footer for a 102-92 lead, then went.to the locker room with one minute to play. He finished with eight points on 4-for-13 shooting. Allen never considered it. The worst-case scenario happened though, and the Giants weren't the only ones to fail the final test. · The bizarre ending capped a roller-coaster season for New York (10-6), which had to go 7-2 down the stretch to make the playoffs, winning its final four. The new high-powered offense Jed by Barber, Toomer, Shockey and Collins was unbelievably potent · in the firtal half of the season with Passel calling the plays. "I can't wait for next season to start because I think we have something to start with and be reckoned with," Mara said. Defensively, young comerbacks Will Allen imd Will Peterson took major steps this season. Michael Strahan hail another great season on a line that lacked depth. and Mike Barrow was outstanding at middle linebacker for new coordinator Johnnie Lynn. While the coverage teams improved, the Giants are definitely going to be in the market for a long snapper and probably a punter. Bryant will be challenged for the place-kicking job.

And not down in the dumps. · By Sunday, rumors of his retirement were rampant on talk shows and the Internet. Even Favre's · father, Irvin, called to ask him what was gping on. Favre hinted last month that he might hang up his cleats if he were to win another Super Bowl, which he did six years ago. But Favre ~aid he's playing as well now as he ever has and he's. feeling good, too. He narrowly missed out on an unprecedented fourth MVP award after guiding an injury-riddled lineup to a 12-4 record in the regular season. Despite a sprained knee at midseason, Favre extended his NFL record of consecutive starts at 9.uarterback to 190, includmg 17 playoffs. Favre also squelched speculation that he'd seek some personnel changes such as the ouster of offensive coordinator Tom Rossley. · "The one thing I'm going to do is mind my own business," Favre said. "It would · be easy for me in the position that I am, being the starting quarterback here for so long, being in the system with five different quarterback coaches and three different head coaches, to voice my opinion. But that serves no purpose. "My job is to play quarterback and run the plays that are called, not to play defense., not to block, not to catch, not to run. And notto coach. There's a lot of teams out there that may say they have better coaching, but didn't have 12 wins." Favre also said he had no advice as to whether coach and general manager Mike Sherman should, draft a quarterback in April whom he could begin grooming as his heir. 0 Ll on the number of Bingo cards you can ·play.

I . ·- False alarm, ·Favre will be back GREEN BAY, Wis. _(AP) - When Brett Favre's news conference was delayed an hour, one talk radio host suggested the governor's inauguration would have to be delayed. Or maybe pre-empted. After all, everybody was · going live. "Maybe he's writing -his farewell speech," joked teammate Mike Flanagan. When Favre finally entered the packed auditorium, he took one look at the · horde of reporters and photographers and cracked a smile. Imagine, a team official told him afterward, what it's going to be like when you really do retire. Thankfully for the Green Bay Packers and their fans, that day won' t be anytime soon. "I don't see any reason why I shouldn't return" in 2003, Favre said Monday in his frrst comments since the Packers were bounced from the playoffs. "As I said during the season, I have every intention of coming back. "I don't see no reason why this team shouldn't compete for a Super Bowl next.year. And why I shouldn't be a part of it?'' You could just hear the Packers and their fans exhale. The 33-year-old star quarterback had fueled speculation about his future Saturday night when he did not speak to reporters after Atlanta handed the Packers their frrst loss in 14 home playoff games. Favre said he was in a bad mood after the stunning 27 ~ 7 Joss to the Falcons but really was just ealler to· get home and tuck h1s 3-yearold daughter, Brelei~h, into bed before craw ling mto the sack to watch cartoons with · his wife. All the while, dumbfounded fans across Wisconsin were pondering the Packers' early exit from the postseason and prayin~ Favre wouldn't follow suit with his own stunning departure .

As I read her letter. I saw myself a few years ago. • I agree that "Stan" must make his own anger-management appointment. I would like to go further and tell Tina that until her husband is willing to examine his own -behavior and make changes, nothing will change. I went on Zoloft for a while, but chose not to'take drugs to fix a problem that was behav- ioral. not chemical. I went to counselinl!, said I was sorry, and pronused to change. However, not until my wife left me, not until she took my kids away, not until I was given a citation for telephone harassment and had to show up in court, did I change. I was lucky. As . a first-time domestic violence offender, I was allowed to go through a program that gave me a lot of . _ ms!ght. I m sure that wtth a httle searching, a similar program could be found in Tina's area. 1 WOULD STRESS THAT HER HUSBAND MUST BE THE ONE TO DO THIS.

"It is sad that people allow themselves to deceive the elderly and disabled. This will not be tolerated."

''iJ-1 ' RACINE - The Southern Local School Board approved a renewal levy which provides the necessary funds needed for the maintenance and operatio!l of the school system. The 4-mill levy, whicb raises more than $200,000 each year, has been operational since 1991. It has been renewed and approved b~ the voters four times ·ami again is on the ballot in May: The levy has remained unchanged since it was originally adopted. For a house worth $50,000, the 4-mill tax rate is about $48 per year. The last time property was appraised was in 1998. Superintendent Bob Grueser said levy helps pay "for everything," including general operation, salaries, utilities and building maintenance. In 2000, this levy came within a hair of being defeated by the voters. There were 1,130 votes for and 1,119 against. Like an election in Florida, absentee ballots had a large role in determining the passage of the levy. · · Many school systems in Ohio rely on the levy system to provide extra revenue to supplement education. This is due to the fact that · an equitable school funding formula has yet to be estab· lished in Columbus. The Ohio Supreme Court hl!s recently declared Gov. Bob Taft's and the legislature's funding formula invalid. Speaking for the majority, Justice Paul Pfeifer ordered "a complete systematic overhaul" of the system for funding education. State law allows school districts to set a millage minimum at 20 mills. Southern Local Schools has 27 mills, but only collects for 20. As property values inevitably increase, the state adjusts the millage amount collected to keep this amount comparable to the original amount the levy was trying to raise. For example, t~e renewal levy has been adjusted to approximately 3.7 mills in stead of the original 4 mills because property values have increased. ~~,.,..,. ~ ~~~~i~i~~·: ~~~=·~~~0~~~==~~-~~~~ GOING COLUMBUS - The Ohio Department of Transportation will soon be 11ble to report road and weather conditions to motorists in every comer of the state once it installs 88 wireless weather stations one in each county - and more than 160 pavement sensors on Ohio's roads. The weather stations and sensors are located along interstates, U.S. routes and state routes. They continuously report information such as temperature, precipitation and visibility.

' ODOT RWIS Coordinator Abner Johnson said, "Not only is this a cost~benefit to ODOT, but it is also an enhancement of safety to the traveling pub: lie." With the Weather Information Network expected to be running statewide by Jan.31, the new weather stations will enable ODOT to adjust snow and ice activities based on the · weather conditions in each county. ODOT's 88 weather stations will provide information for the public to view at any time. Much like the construction and road condition information ODOT currently provides, the public will have access to conditions online at www.dot.state.oh.us. "Our information will be more comprehensive and more accurate than what is currently available," Johnson said. "Also, because these sensors monitor traffic sp.e eds and counts, we can improve our maintenance scheduling in each county as well." :a kdlou- 1:1 ......
