Her name is "Sally"; they met in a class at the local college. I know as well as I know my own name that our son is ~oing to ask his dad and me, 'Well, what did you think of her?" - · and therein lies my problem. My husband and I aren't sure if we should be honest with Roger about our first impression of Sally. Perhaps we should tell him to let us get better acquainted before passing judgment. We have even considered staying completely neutral. After all, if Roger ends up marrying her and it doesn't work out, we could be accused of trying to influence him. This is the first time our son has ever brought a female friend home for us to meet. Roger and Sally seem happy together, and that's all that counts. However, his dad and I also know our son is looking for our approval- especially mine. - MICHIGAN MOM DEAR MICHIGAN MOM: Level with your son in a nonconfrontational way. Tell him what you and your husband observed. But make it clear that because first impressions can sometimes be I Dear Abby ADVICE deceiving, you and your husband would like to see more of Sally before making a determination, DEAR ABBY: My husband has a serious problem with alcohol and drugs, and I don ' t know what to do to get him some help.

Dooley sai d the home tour will probably be planned again, but will not become an annua l event. The basket bingo event raised $6,500, used to pur- chase big-ticket giveaways for the season. "We have the potential of making the basket bingo a big deal here in Middleport," Dooley said . "Because of (Baker's) special bear, which was included in each basket, we've been able to develop a niche."

AA and AlAnon are as close as your phone book, DEAR Abby: Now that the holidays have come and gone, I am once again wondering about the proper etiquette for thanking people for gifts. When I was growing up, my mother insisted that after each Christmas and birthday I write detailed thank-you notes. Of course, notes are in order for gifts received in the mail, but what about presents opened in front of the giver? When I have children, I imagine Mom will expect thank- you notes from her grandkids. On the other hand, I have friends who say that a sincere, verbal thank-you is sufficient, and sending notes to people who have already been thanked is overkill. Please tell me if a handwritten note is necessary. I don't want to be rude. Thanks. Abby.

The story by writer Jeffrey Toobin, which reaches newsstands Monday, is based on Stewart's first lengthy media interview on the subject since news broke last June that federal prosecutors were investigating her sale of lmCione System Inc. shares. She told Toobin that the losses have been mostly in the decline in value of her more than 30 million shares in her multimedia company, but also in legal fees and lost business opportunities. Stewart noted that her image has suffered and said she's "puzzled by the public's delight" in her troubles. "My business is about homemaking," she said.

Daily Mail: Keeping 2 million criminals in prison and off the street is an expensive undertaking, costing the federal and state governments $30 billion a year. But society must carefully consider the value of dollars spent avoiding muggings, rapes, killings and even property loss by locking up people who don't live by the rules. Some states now find themselves in budget binds and are looking at cutting their costs. Seven states have chosen to do so by releasing a few criminals early, citing the nonviolent nature of the crimes that led to these inmates being locked up. Surely corrections officials should not be given a blank check to operate. No agency of the government is immune to waste. But releasing inmates early ,should be the last step taken to balance a budget and should be handled with the utmost care. The New York Times reviewed the 567 "nonviolent" inmates that Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton released recently and found that those let out included men convicted of burglary, theft and arson. Some were chronic criminals. Patton himself admitted the mass commutation of sentences will lead to crime. "A percentage of them are going to recommit a crime and some of them are going to be worse than the crimes they are in for," Patton said upon announcing the mass release. But, he added, "I have to do what I have to do to live with the revenue we have." That is a p?<Jr excuse. The first duty of a government is to protect tts ctttzens. The irony is that these cutbacks come just after the federal government created a $35 billion-a-year Department of Homeland Security. The threat of Sept. II is very real, yet it pales compared to the ordinary, daily peril that cnf11!9als pose to the public. . State justice systems are intricate webs spun purposefully, and governors second-guess them at their peril - and the public's.

Sara Day How current atmosphere leaves citizen abandoned A unanjmous three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Dec. 8 that an Am~rican citizen, Yaser Esam Hamdi, can continue to be imprisoned indefinitely in a Navy brig on American soil without charges, incommunicado and without access to his lawyer. There was rejoicing in the Justice Department. Attorney General John Ashcroft. declared the decision was an "important victory for the president's ability to protect the American people in time of war." Looked at closely, the decision was actually a victory by the government over due process- fairness -that is at the core of our constitutional system. At the same time, it was a defeat for another foundation of American justice: the separation of powers. The 4th Circuit so agreeably deferred to the executive branch of government that Hamdi ·did not receive meaningful judicial review of his imprisonment. The 4th Circuit, along with most of the media, agreed with the government that Hamdi had been captured "in a zone of active combat" in Afghanistan as an enemy combatant. The press keeps saying he was fighting in the ranks of the Taliban. So does the government. But is this true? Was he an enemy combatant? Consider this statement by the 4th Circuit: ''The factual averments in the (government's) affidavit, if accurate, are sufficient to confrrm that Hamdi's detention conforms with legitimate exercise of the war powers given the executive." Keep in mind .the phrase "if accurate." The 4th Circuit based this ruling solely on a two-page, nine-paragraph affidavit by Michael Mobbs of Donald Rumsfeld's Defense Department. Since the prisoner has not been permitted to see or speak to his attorney, federal public defender Frank Dunham, and he has not been able to testify as to whether Nat Hentoff COLUMNIST this affidavit is accurate. Hamdi has been denied his Sixth Amendment right to confront his accusers. "Nobody knows what Hamdi's version of the facts might be," his lawyer says. But the 4th Circuit judges have certainly read the record of the previous hearing, without Hamdi being present, before federal District .Judge Robert Doumar, a Reagan appointee with a reputation for careful adherence to due process and the separation of powers. Having read the government's twopage affidavit, Judge Doumar said in open court, "I'm challenging everything in the Mobbs declaration. ... A close inspection of the declaration reveals that (it) never claims that Hamdi was fi~hting for the Taliban ... Is there anythmg in here that said Hamdi ever fired a weapon? ... "Without access to the screening criteria actually used by the government in its classification decision (that Hamdi was an enemy combatant), this court," said Judge Doumar, "is unable to determine whether the government has paid adequate consideration to the due process rights which Hamdi is entitled." By keeping Hamdi in a military prison without charges so that he can be mterrogated indefinitely - without the basic constitutional rights of an American citizen - the 4th Circuit is not only ignoring Judge Doumar's legitimate due-process concerns, but the 4th Circuit .is also essentially abdicating its own responsibility under the separation of powers. As Stephen Dycus, an expert in national security law at the Vermont Law School, said in the Jan. 8 Washington Post: "Despite some lip service about the courts reserving some role for themselves (in this case), (the 4th Circuit) really doesn't play that role." As a Jan.· 16 Newsday editorial read: "lf judges take what the government says as gospel, then judicial review will be a sham." Going farther to illuminate this bypassing of the separation of powers in Hamdi's case, Elisa Massirnmo - a director for the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights - emphasized in the Jan. 9 New York Times that the 4th Circuit "seems to be saying that it ha~ no role whatsoever in overseeing the · administration's conduct of the Wa't"6n terrorism. That is farticularly disturbiilg" in \he context o a potentially o~n~·' ende'd', · as-yet-u'ndeclared · 'war, the ' beginning and end.of which is left solely to the president's discretion." ; As a result of this decision, Harndi's . court of last resort is the U.S.' Supreme Court, to which an appeal hils been made. If this court agrees with the' 4th : Circuit, yet more serious damage to the Constitution will have resulted from the administration's war on terrorism which the president and his colleagues have contmually maintained will be fought "within the bounds of the Constitution." Is anyone in Congress concerned with the erosion of the separation of' powers as Yaser Esam Hamdi remains m solitary confinement, abandoned so far by the Bill of Rights?

As Bush said; correctly, "Quota systems that use race to include or exclude people from higher education are divisive, unfair and impossible to ·square with the Constitution." It's inherently unfair to give a preference to the child of a well-to-do black professional and deny a place to a workmg-class white who may have surmounted hardships to get to college. Where racial preferences exist, even well-qualified minorities are assumed to be' '.'affirmative action babies" and their achievements are derogated. Lessqualified students often fail academically, experience resentment and blame their lack of success on racial prejudice. The result is that programs meant to encourage greater interracial understanding - and, ultimately, a colorblind America- end up fostering racial divisiveness. Still, as Bush noted, ethnic diversity is a legitimate value to be pursued in academia. In Texas, he fostered it by promoting a program whereby the top 10 percent of every hillh school class was eligible for admissiOn to state universities. There's little question that disadvantaged minorities need government help to overcome discrimination and achieve the American dream. Bu sh and Republicans ought to do more to help them, but Democrats ought to quit playing racial politics.

In Philadelphia, a 52year-old man was killed and his paraplegic wife was left with severe bums over. the weekend when a kerosene heater apparently started a fire that burst their living room into flames. A woman in North Carolina also died in a fire caused by a space heater. Authorities pointed to the Philadelphia fire as an example. of how tragedy can strike when people are simply trying to stay warm. They urged people to check or install smoke alarms "while the tragedy is still fresh in the minds of the neighbors," executive fire chief William Brightcliffe said Monday. "In the cold weather, more people stay at home and use their heating systems and cooking facili. ties," Brightcliffe said. That's when all types of space heaters - electric and kerosene heaters, wood stoves, fireplace inserts and gas heaters - pose the greatest danger, according to the National · Fire Protection Association in Quincy, Mass. The association counted 50,000 fires blamed on home heating equipment last year, and three of every four deaths in heating-related fires involved space heaters. spokeswoman Margie Coloian said. The most common mistake is failing to allow 3 feet of clear space between heaters and flammable items- such as bed covers or drapes - and leaving . them on when people leave the room or go to sleep, Coloian said. "People take for granted that they are not going to tip over or a pet isn't going to walk by and tip them over," she said. Also, Coloian said space heaters should never be fueled indoors, and added that several states, including Massachusetts, have banned kerosene . space · heaters entirely.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - The prestigious American Diabetes Association (ADA) Education Reco~nition Certificate for a quality dtabetes self-management education program was recently awarded to Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH), according to Alvin "Al" Lawson, chief executive officer of the non-profit healthcare facility. ADA believes this program offers high quality diabetes selfmanagement education that is an essential component of effective diabetes treatment. The association's Education Recognition Certificate assures thai education programs meet the national standards for diabetes self-management education programs. These standards were developed and tested under the auspices of the National Diabetes Advisory Board in 1983 and were revised by the diabetes community in 1994.. Programs applying for recognition voluntarily submit to a rigorous review process by experts in the field of diabetes who evaluate each program on its ability to provide patients with a comprehensive individualized education program. Programs that achieve recognition status have a staff of knowledgeable health professionals who can provide participants with comprehensive information about diabetes management. "At Pleasant Valley Hospital, our program provides the basic knowledge and skills needed by people with diabetes in a team approach. This team strives to promote the concept of overall patient wellness, and to encourage people with chronic diabetes to manage their condition appropriately and successfully," explamed Sandy Wood, assistant executive · director of patient care services. "The ADA recognition process gives professionals a national standard by which to measure the quality of services they provide," said Carol Garrett, coordinator of patient education. "And, of course, it assures the consumer that he or she will likelr, receive high quality service, ' she added. Education recognition status is verified by an official certificate from ADA and is awarded for three years.

Soaring further heights, he held several national offices within the organization. Tad Cuckler, who has just been sworn in as the president of the Ewings Chapter of the SAR, said this kind of success takes dedication. When Musgrave spoke to the Ewings Chapter last week, he talked about how the SAR has changed in the past decade since the Berlin Wall carne down.

If everything goes as planned, Point Pleasant attorney Raymond Musgrave will be the next national President-General of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). He will lead more 27,500 patriots worldwide in at least 507 chapters of the group recognized by the U.S . Congress. Currently, he is the national secretary-general. Musgrave comes from a long line of people involved in the community and with history. One of his early ancestors was Revolutionary War Gen. Andrew Lewis.

If you think of Social Security as a program primarily for old people, consider this: Nationwide more than 3.8 million children under age 18 receive Social Security benefits every month because one or both parents are retired, have died or have become disabled. Most people don't realize that Social Security is a family protection pro~ram. Those dollars are helpmg provide the children with the necessities of life and, in many cases, helping children complete high school. It's not unusual for Social Security benetits to help stabilize a young family's tinancial future when a parent becomes disabled or dies. To be eligible for monthly Social Security benefits, the child must have a parent who is disabled or retired and entitled to Social Security benefits or have a working parent who died. The child must be under age 18 or 18-19 years of age and a full-time student in no higher than grade 12; or be 18 or older and disabled (if the disability started before the age 22). The child can be the worker's biological child, adopted child or stepchild. physical fitness, first aid and Army history, core values and traditions.

Five months before the child's 18th birthday, Social Security notifies the child that benefits will end at age 18 unless he or she is a fulltime student at a secondary or elementary school. In that case, the benefits continue until the child graduates or until two months after he or she becomes age 19. Social Security is much more than just a retirement program . It's there to help families when one, or both, of the parents becomes disabled or is deceased.

The Buccaneers won their first ever Super Bowl, defeating the Oakland Raiders, 48-21, Sunday in San Diego. (AP) More good times ahead for · Bucs? SAN DIEGO (AP) Here 's .the scariest part about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after what they did in the playoffs and Super Bowl: They are bound to get better. So much better, in fact, that their quarter-century of nonachievement could be erased by several years of championships. The Bucs are not old on either side of the ball. Their very best players - Derrick Brooks. Warren Sapp, Simeon Rice, Ronde Barber, John Lynch, Mike Alstott, Keyshawn Johnson - are in their primes. In Jon Gruden, they have an innovative mind who likely will make more huge strides with the offense. In Monte Kiffin, they have a resourceful coordinator who perfectly utilizes each of his defenders, the stars as well as the role players. The salary cap is not a major issue, either. "This is just the start," top receiver Johnson said. "Now all I have to do is get another one, because when you get it once, you want it twice. And when you get it twice, you want it three times. "I'm already figuring out what we're going to do next year and who we're going to bring in to help us try to get back in the same position again." The key addition this year was, of course, Gruden. He cost the Bucs two first round draft choices, two ·second-rounders and $8 McKay not only is a shrewd million .

Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary basketball star LeBron James, right, gets into a new Hummer outside Warrensville Heights High School Jan. 11. James violated no high school regulations by accepting the $50,000 sports utility vehicle as a 18th birthday gift from his mother and remains eligible to play, the Ohio High School Athletic Association said Monday. (AP) Smooth road ahead, LeBron James cleared in Hummer inquiry CLEVELAND (AP) The only thing LeBron James has to worry about with his new sports utility vehicle is tilling it up with gas. Hu~mer~ate is in his rearvtew m1rror. The nation's top high school basketball player was cleared Monday after a twoweek investigation determined he did not violate state amateur bylaws by accepting a Hummer H2 vehicle as a gift. Ohio High School Athletic Association commissioner Clair Muscaro decided James did not compromise his amateur status and that his mother, Gloria, had provided proof. she bought him the vehicle. " I was satisfied with the documentation that we were given," Muscaro said. Muscaro had been gather- ing financial proof to determine how James, a senior at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School and expected No. I pick in this year 's NBA draft, had obtained the SUV, which has a base retail price of $50,000. Gloria James said she took out a bank loan in Columbus to buy the Hummer - shipped from a dealership in California and outlitted with three TVs and computer game hookups for her son's 18th birthday. Muscaro's concern was that James had accepted the Hummer from an agent or outside source and had violated an OHSAA bylaw that states amateur status is forfeited if an athlete capitalizes on athletic fame by receiving money or gifts of monetary value.

Mahomes, 32, has appeared in 299 major league games, including 62 starts, and is 42-38 with a 5.29 ERA. Mahomes spent most of last season with the Chicago Cubs' AAA Iowa farm team, going 45 with 14 saves and a 3.48 ERA in 44 games. In 16 games with the Cubs last season, Mahomes was 1-l with a 3.86 ERA. Mahomes' deal with the Pirates includes bonuses of $1 0,(0) each for appearing in 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 games, and bonuses of $15,(0) each for appearing in 55 and 60 games. If Mahomes appears in 65 or more games, he'll receive another $20,(0). Mahomes, an eighth-round pick by Minnesota in 1988, has also played with the Twins and Boston Red Sox. More effective as a relief pitcher than a starter, he is 13-25 with a 6.56 ERA as a starter and 29-13 with five saves and a 4.58 ERA in relief. Purdue two teams Purdue has beaten. "It's more important than the ratings," Keady said of the RPI. "I wouldn't have thought that 10 years ago." While Keady doesn't want his players' heads to swell after their best game of the season on Saturday, he does want them to remember the positives - like outrebounding Indiana and limiting the Hoosiers to lows in points, field-goal shooting (29.3) and 3-point shooting (3-for20). Keady called his team "wise" and said they were already focused on beating the Buckeyes. "Beating a rated team was one of our goals. We finally did that," he said.

"I'm not in position to question bank officials," Muscaro said. "I am satisfied that the loan that was granted did not violate our guidelines and was acquired only by his mother." Muscaro said no violations of the OHSAA · amateur bylaws "as currently written" were found and that James is still eligible to play. However, Muscaro thinks the OHSAA should re-examine some of its amateur bylaws. "It's something that needs -to be looked at to make sure they are in step with current times," he said. Any bylaw revisions would be subject to a recommendation and vote by the OHSAA's 800-plus member schools, Muscaro said. If the OHSAA had ruled James ineligible, St. VincentSt. Mary, ranked No. I by USA Today, would have had to forfeit its games from the time he accepted the SUV. With the investigation over, James can now concentrate on the remainder of his final season with the Fighting Irish (14-0). Muscaro has received emails and letters criticizing the decision on James. Critics say the OHSAA was afraid to rule against James because of the money it would lose without him in the state tournament. "Money, race or gender had nothing to do with the decision," he said. "Money is not a factor. Our boys basketball tournament would do well with or without St. Vincent· St. Mary.'" James' coach Dru Joyce said the Hummer investigation had been a distraction. "We're glad it's finally official," Joyce said. "We believed fully that LeBron and his family did noti.ing wrong. We ' re not holding any grudges against the OHSAA. It's just time to move on ."

The Bears got the kickoff and drove to the winning field goal. When Mornpinweg was hired, he set the team's sights on a frrst Super Bowl trip. The Lions have had only one playoff victory since winning the 1957 NFL title. "The bar is high," he said. "The goal for this organization is to win Super Bowls.''

Nearly 138 million watch Super Bowl NEW YORK (AP) -The Super Bowl is a TV hit, year after year, no matter how close the game is. Sunday night's lopsided game was no different, watched by 137.65 million viewers. the second-most in history for the NFL's champion shiR game . ABC s telecast of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers'· 4821 vtctory over the Oakland Raiders registered a national rating of 40.7 - I percent higher than last year and the best since 2000. That means an average of 40.7 percent of the country's TV homes were watching at any given moment. The viewership estimate, counting people who watched at least six minutes , puts Sunday's game second only to the 1996 Super Bowl between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers, which was seen by 138.5 million on NBC. Last year 's game was watched by 131.7 million on Fox. NOTICE TO CONTRACI'ORS The Super Bowl is often the most-watched TV program each year, and nine of the 15 highest-rated shows in history are NFL championship games. "For a very high percentage of the Super Bowl audience, this is the only football game they watch all year. The average football rating is· 12 or 14, and here we are talking about a 40 rating," said Neal Pilson, former president of CBS Sports and now a consultant. In 2002, the New England Patriots' 20-17 upset of the St. Louis Rams on a finalplay field goal had a 40.4 national rating on Fox. That tied 200 I for the fourthlowest rating for a Super Bowl since 1972. Sunday's game ranks 27th of the 32 Super Bowls since then; cable and the Internet have lowered broadcast ratings in · general.

The Mejgs Coynty Commissioners reserve the right to reject any or all bids. ' Jeff Thornton , President Meigs County Commissioners ,. Riley steamed at bad-boy Artest MIAMI (AP) Ron Artest was at it again, taunting and losing his temper. Pat Riley is getting tired of it. "The league ought to deal with that ... That's who he is. He's a hell of a player, but he has got to get that under control," the Miami Heat coach said after he and Artest nearly came to blows during Indiana's 102-95 vic-tory Monday night. Artest twice initiated testy exchanges with Riley in front of the Heat bench. The second time, Riley pushed Artest away. The Pacers forward also made an obscene gesture from center court as Indiana rallied in the fourth · quarter. It was nothing new for Artest, an outstanding defender known for his physical play. He was suspended for three games without pay and fined $35,000 by the NBA earlier this month for hurling a television monitor and smashing a high-definition $100,000 camera to pieces following a loss in New York. "Coach Riley was into it," Artest said. "Their bench was into it. We were into it. That's how it's supposed to be." In other games, it was Washington 98, Phoenix 93; Cleveland I 04, the Los Angeles Clippers I 00; Houston 100, Memphis 95; Minnesota 106, San Antonio 95; Milwaukee 108, New Orleans 93; and New Jersey 92, Denver 66. Reggie Miller sank a 3pointer with l: 10 left to put the Pacers ahead to stay, then added a layup with 41 seconds left. The Heat lost after leading at · the start of the fourth quarter for the eighth time. Artest scored 18 points for the Pacers, who won their · fourth in a row. His frrst exchange with Riley came in the opening quarter. Riley and Caron Butler received technical fouls for contending Artest had fouled Butler while jostling for position during a dead ball. As Riley continued to complain, Artest walked up to the coach and joined the argument. "Don't talk to me," Riley angrily told Artest. Peace prevailed until the fourth quarter. With 8: 13 left, Artest was called for a flagrant foul when he ran over Butler as they chased a · loose ball out of hounds. Two minutes later, Artest hit a driving scoop shot, was fouled and walked toward the Miami bench with his right arm flexed. As he and assistant coach Keith Askins had words, Artest brushed against Riley. They began shouting at each other, and Riley shoved Artest away. Artest, who was called for a technical, said he dido 't think he was that close to Riley. "That's crazy. I scream like crazy at officials and my players. I never, ever have talked to an opposing player, and I don't want any• body talking to me or coming over to my bench,~ Riley said. After sinking his free throw to cut Miami's lead to 83-82, Artest backpedaled up the court, holding aloft the index finger of his rigl)t hand and the middle finger of his left hand. "That was bad on my part," Artest said. "I shouldn't have done that. I should know better." Wizards 98 Suns 93 At Washington, Jerry Stackhouse scored 33 points and blocked Scott Williams: dunk attempt in the final minute as the Wizards helt:l on to beat Phoenix after blowing a 15f.oint lead in the second hal . Michael Jordan finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and five turnovers for · Washington, which broke a three-game losing streak. Stephan Marbury had 29 points, eight assists and six turnovers for the Suns, who went 1-4 on their five-game cross-country road trip. Cavaliers 104 Clippers 100 At Cleveland, Ricky Davis scored 17 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter and hit the go-ahead jumper with nine seconds left to give Keith Smart his first victory as.Clev.eland coach.. The Cavaliers snapped .a six-game losing streak and ruined the return of And(e Miller to Cleveland with their first home win since Dec. 23. . Corey Maggette tied .a career high with 34 points for the Clippers, who have lost six of eight. Los Angeles' Lamar Odom sat out with a sore right ankle. T-wolves 106 Spurs 95 At Minneapolis, Kevin Garnett tied his season high with 34 points to lead Minnesota to a bruising victory over San Antonio, the Timberwolves' sixth stmight wm. I0 Garnett grabbed rebounds and shot 14-for-19 from the floor ft}r Minnesota, which has won nine of II.

I suspect this problem J>DeS along with the prestige of saying, "I'm a physician." My most memorable request came from a 60-yearold woman who asked me to look at her bunions during my friend's wedding. Fortunately, my pediatric population doesn't suffer from bunions, so I couldn't provide her with any remedies. When I'm at social gatherings and am introduced as "Doctor," I jokingly say, "The doctor is not in her office at this time." Then I ask people to call me by my first name. In this way I let them know I am a person, not a doctor on duty. I also find this to be an ice-breaker for those who might feel intimidated meeting an M.D.- HARASSED COLLEAGUE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR H.C.C.: That's a good solution.

"I'm the kind of person that thinks it's important to carefully examine the argument and reasoning of others," he said. "And while I was impressed by President Bush's speech, on reflection, l don't think he has made a persuasive case for war." Pines questioned Bush's arguments about the seriousness of the Iraqi threat.

The Meigs County Community Improvement Corpomtion is expected to propose construction of a building to Rio's specitications, but no official offer has been made for such a building proposal , according to Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe. "The board is definitely interested in expanding its facilities in Meigs County, especially because of the additional courses we're offering this year," Sojka said. "An offer from the CIC for the consbUction of a new building will certainly be one to consider." Rio Grande has announced plans to offer additional degree programs at its Mill Street center, including a graduate degree in education. Those new programs will likely create an overcrowding situation at the center, which houses only two classrooms, a computer lab and office !jpaee..

Dr. Greg Sojka, provost and academic vice president for the college, said Monday the board voted to dec! ine the offer because of the high estimated cost of renovatin~ the aging building to meet Rio's needs.

Pines said this a farce when considering the small amounts of money the president wants to appropriate to social programs including education. "According to his speech, it means $450 million to mentor disadvantaged junior high students," Pines said. "That would roughly be about $9 million for each of the 50 states in America. "So how much does it cost to build one 'state of the art' junior high in America? Nine million dollars wouldn't be enough for Mei~s County," he added.

POMEROY Meigs Local School District has improved dramatically with its proficiency test scores during the last three years. In 2000, the district was listed as being in "academic emergency," which meant the district met only zero to 7 statewide standards out of 27. The district now has a rating of "continuous improvement," netting. percent. Buckley attributes this success to a group effort from students, teachers, parents and administrators. Buckley said teachers worked toward aligning curriculum with what the state was testing. Teaching at the high school has always been a strength for the district. For years; it has offered tutoring programs during and after school. There is also in-class extra work assigned periodically to students who may need to brush up on skills for 12 out of 22 standards. Last year, Meigs had a rating of I 0 out of 27 standards and was listed as being on "academic watch. " Superintendent William Buckley is optimistic that improvement will continue. The district's highlights include a complete sweep of the eighth and ninth grade proficiency tests. In writing, more than 94 percent of the students who took the test passed, exceeding the state standard of 75 which students are tested. In most subject categories, about 50 percent of the students passed the tests. The 12th grade proficiency tests scores did not meet many of the state standards either. While the district's students were very close to state standard passing rate of 60 percent, .the district failed in four of the five categories not including student attendance rates or graduation rates.
