MILES lAYTON · Staff writer RACINE, Ohio - Southern Local Schools approved a grim five-year financial forecast which features a continuing pattern of deficits and borrowing. Based on the past five years, expenses have outpaced revenue, particularly with health insurance. The district has been forced to take out emergency loans from the state each year to keep pace with expenses. These loans must be repaid within two years. Currently, the district is in the second year of paying half of a $421 ,000 loan . This year, the district received another state emergency loan for $665,000. Including the remainder of $210,000 from last year 's loan, this would make this year's total deficit about $875,000. . There are no firm projections on what ihe district may have to borrow during the next four years because state aid and other variables including future budget cuts may af(ect the decision-making process. Revenues will not meet expenditures for the next five years. . Since the di strict declared itself in fiscal emergency in 1999, the Finance Planning Supervision Commi ssion has ordered Southern Local to come up with a financial recovery plan which will eliminate the debt. The commission's role is to oversee the school district's financial recovery. · Treasurer Dennie Hill said that unless the sch\)ol board acts, there will be deficit s as far as the eye can see. · Health in surance rates for employees in Southern Local are expected to increase by about 13 percent next year. · Health insurance costs have increased more than 30 percent each year for the pastthree years. Hill said these costs are prim arily what is bankrupting the di stri ct. Hill said the increased deti cit has been caused by a variety of other reason s.' In order to balance the state budget, Gov. Bob Taft cut mone.'} from school districts across the state, including Southern Local. which lost about $40,000 this year. Open 'enrollm ~nt , which allows shldents to transf@r to other school di 5tricts, cost the di strict mo re than $176,606 each year in lost revenues> Home schooling cost the district in lost revenues at least $100,000 last Please see Southern, Page 5 ...

With support from our parents, teachers and each other, we have iill achieved great successes while in high school." Despite all the good times, Clifford said each student must now' face the realization of entering a world of exciting new challenges . and unlimited opportunities. "High school, like all good things, must · come to an end. From this point on, we are on our own. Our teachers will no longer tutor us to get good grades and our parents will not be there to wake us up every morning," he said. "We have to be' resp~m·sible for our own lives.

But its vast newsroom on West 43rd Street and far-flung bureaus are populated by a multitude of superior editors and writers. The Times is famous for its enormous cash flow and its. historic willingness, to put most of it back into news-gathenng. ·... It's been discovered, very late in the day, that a 27-year old reporter named Jayson Blair for years has been turning in creative fiction as news stories. Nor were they minor stories. 'f!Jey involved, among others, the Maryland sniper case and the thoughts of wounded soldiers who fought in Iraq. .The Times published a long "explanation" of how Blair lied about his whereabouts, invented quotes from people he never interviewed, descril)ed scenes he never visited, and made up so much stuff that one wonders why he ever entered journalism. ... , But the explanation offered by the Times is far more elabor;~te than satisfactory. It is filled with contradictions, and one senses that the reporters and editors who prepared the explanation were under great press11re from 'the top to be frank, but not too frank . • ·...

He asked if he could use Brandon's story in his talks to high school students. We told him to use the story, pictures he had taken, and if he needed anything else from us to just call. We have heard people complain about the "Click It or Ticket" program calling it a violation of our freedom and even an unlawful program. From our standpoint, if it saves one teenager's life, then it is a program that should be uti' lized. And, if you don't use your seatbelt, start. and Paula . Rick Simpkins Point Pleasant, W.Va. Not pretty Dear Editor: The facts about young drivers and safety belt use aren't pretty. In 200 l, 5,431 teens, ages 16-20, died, and thousands more were injured in traffic crashes. More than half of all teens who died in crashes were completely unbelted; and belt use for teens ana young adults ages 16-24, at 69 percent, continues to lag behind the rest of the population. So, how do we get young people to buckle up when they think they are mvincible? It's simple, surround them with the strong message, "Click It or Ticket; if you won't buckle up to save your life, then buckle. up to save yourself a ticket," and back it up with a strong enforcement push. · That's exactly what's going to happen as the "Click It or Ticket" mobilization delivers the message to teens through televi'sion and radio ads, Internet chat rooms and public high school address systems, in addition to enforcement in locations where young people congregate - · such as schools and shopping malls, conducting seatbelt checkpoints , saturation patrols and special enforcement. activities. By buckling up their seatbelts, teens could save more than just money from hefty fines, they could save their lives. Sgt. E.B. Starcher West Virginia State Police Point Pleasant, W.Va. The lynching of Bill Bennett . ••I which mentors inner city children from high-risk families. "Best Friends" does a tremendous amount of good, and the Bennetts donate their time and money to the cause without calling press conferences touting their largesse . By contrast, Frank Rich, one of Bennett's main tor· mentors, entitled his New York Times attack on Bennett "Tupac's Revenge." Ric,h's unbelievably harebramed theme was that the rap music spawned by the late Tupac Shakur has prospered while Bennett, who has criticized gangsta rap, has been taken down. Rich is happy about this. Rich apparently believes that lyrics glorifying drugs, violence and the abuse of women are far more worthy than platitudes from "The Book of Virtues." Js this nuts, or' what? The lynching of Bill Bennett has been designed to send a clear message: If you dare to make judgments about personal behavior, watch out if you have any sins yourself. Of course, everybody has sins, and if the standard for making moral rronouncements is persona perfeotion, than no one would be able to make any. And that is the goal of the secularists, a judgment-free .' \ society. They believe that there is no place in American society for standards of conduct based on moral principles. The secularists want a behavioral free-fire zone, and God, pardon the spiritual reference, help you if you disagree with that. But most Americans do disagree with the secularists and want a society based on Judea-Christian philosophy, nearly every poll on the ' matter demonstrates that. But the secularists, as Bill Bennett found out, hold ~normous power, especially tn the prmt media. -Bennett gave the witch hunters rope, and they hung hifll with it. But those of us wlltching this brutal display should think about its wider implications. The personal destruction of a man espousing the protection of children surely is devoid of any virtue. And the conduct ~f the people participating 10 that destruction is certainly unbecoming.

Point Pleasant ponders zoning: changes BY KEVIN KELLY POMEROY, Ohio - Meigs County Sheriff Ralph .Trussell Friday advised local residents to be aware of a telephone scam. Trussell said calls, allegedly from Canada, were made to Meigs County residents Frida;r. asking them to wire _cash, vta Western Union, in exchange for larger sums of money. Trussell said those calling advised residents that a $2,500 or $3,500 wire tr.msfer would cover transportation costs, by Wells-Fargo, for delivery of checks for as much as $250,000. Calls to a local pharmacy, which processes Western Union transfers, revealed that at least one tr.msfer had already been completed in Pomeroy, and that Western Union stopped the transfer when it was recognized as a scam, Trussell said. Trusseli said it is not necessary to report such calls to his department, but said those who receive them should disregard them.

Mayor Ed Woomer hopes several . ordinance changes he and other city officials have worked on for the past two years will become a reality before he le aves office on July I. A public hearing on the proposed changes will be held prior to City Council giving third and final reading to action addpting the changes, Woomer said. The changes have undergone two readings and the hearing will be adverti sed, he added. "We . changed so me permitting within !he city on housing and added different businesses to the ordinances that fall under the · B- 1, B-2 and B-3 classifications," Woomer said. A B-1 area, is zoned for · the central downtown, B-2 a neighborhood and B-3, major highway businesses. "We're also working on an ordinance for unregistered vehicles, a new commercial/residential sign ordinance , fencing and a planted material ordinance," Woomer said. Anq,ther · acti.on dealing with dangerous animals is also ln the works , and specfically, . anolher ordinance to deal with stray cats. The cha.nges have been made to keep up with the times , Woomer said. The la st time zonin~ got an overhaul was 111 1972, although some areas have been since updated, he added. As an example, Woomer cited the proposed fencing ordinance. Fencing is currently allowed a 3-foot height for a front yard. The proposed revision allows a 4-foot height, with exceptions . "There are some changes that will be an improvement for the citizens, such as in obtaining permits . without going through the committees," Woomer said. · Woomer said he began working on the update~ while he was city inspec ~ tor, in collaboration with the city's planning commis sion, which updates zoning ordinances. comJiission Current members are Char1es W. "Bill" Rhodes , Jack Juniper. Bruce Dennis and Barrett Woomer. As mayor, Ed Woomer serves on the commission, as does Councilman and mayor-elect Jim Wilson. Woomer said it's his hope cbuncil will approve the changes before the change in administration this summer. "That 's what we're shooting for," h.e said. Wilson said he expects a review of zoning ordinances will continue when he becomes mayor to help create a more user"friendly atmosphere ajld eliminate delays in permitting. " I think we need to," said Wilson , who, served 12 years on the city's zoning board, who said one reason for the current revisions is to make them easier to use . "Some of this was just wording so we cduld get to · what the (zoning) book said in the early 1970s," he said. "We're trying to make it easier to be business-friendly."
