He's never caused permanent damage, but it hurts! I don't want my mom to know about it because she loves 'my stepdad. Plus, he supports my mother and me financially. Before Mom married him four years ago, we had to live with my grandparents because we had no money. Everything would be OK now if I could just find a way of making him stop hitting me. Do you have any suggestions? - SAD GIRL IN DENVER DEAR SAD GIRL: Your stepfather should not be hitting you. Please tell your mother ASAP. You are being physically abused, and it must be stopped. If your mother is unable to stop the abuse, call the Childhelp USA National Child Abuse Hotline at (800) 422- 4453 ((800) 4-ACHILD ).

"Heartbroken" couldn't understand why her son's friends didn't alert her. Three years ago, when my son "John" and his best frie~d. "Mike," were young teenagers. I overheard a disturbing phone conversation . My son was saying, "Mike, don't do this! In five or six years none of this stuff will mean anything to you. It will just be a memory' " Later, John came to me and said, ~· Mom, you have to help Mike. He's talking about committing suicide, and nothing I say seems to help. Last night, he put a rope around his neck to see how it feels." Although my son had been "sworn to secrecy," he realized someone had to alert Mike's parents. I did -- and soon Mike was in counseling and on anti-depressants. Mih is now a happy ·teenager with a bright future, and he and my son have an even stronger friendship. I'm proud of my son for trusting me enough to confide in me so I could intervene. Troubled young people tell their friends because they ARE reaching out for help.

BY CHARLENE News editor HOEFLICH RUTLAND - Work to repair a major hillside slip behind the new Meigs Elementary School got underway Monday, just weeks before school is scheduled to open. Superintendent William Buckley said that Midstate, Inc. of Gallipolis was awarded the job by the Meigs Local Board of &lucation last week with a base bid of $598,268.29. The money to pay for the corrective work will come out of the conshllction funds from the School Facilities Commission, according to Buckley. He said the area had been mined at one time. making it somewhat unstable, and that the movement of dirt required to build the school and heavy rains over the past two years, caused the hillside to weaken and began to shift. A wide area of the hillside behind the building from the Middleport end of the school to where the bus garage is Tons and tons of dirt falling the rear of the new Meigs Elementary School were being hauled away Monday as work began on repairing a major hillside slip in an area which had been mined years ago.

Cindy Dolly, of Akron, who has been with the agency for 20 years, said she's handled between 50 and 60 referrals over the past month or so. Caseworkers said high caseloads are dangerous for the families involved and for the social workers. Ohio casewokers average 12 families per month for new investigations and I9 per month for ongoing cases, said Shawn Sabella, director of operations with the Public Chifdren Services Association of Ohio. Outside the building in a residential part of Akron, there was constant cheering from the workers and a steady stream of blaring horns from supportive dri- vers. Inside, the almost empty office was silent. The agency has taken steps to prepare for a strike, including moving 16 children from the a!!ency's · receiving unit to lfcensed gtoup homes, foster homes or w1tlt relatives . Sixty-four casewokers out of 170 reported to work Monday at an undisclosed location, where they worked with support staff and managers to keep · things running, Papas sajd. The location is being kept secret to avoid a confronta..tion between the pickets and the others, she said. The agency is asking a court to issue a restraining against the workers to move them off • headquarters property. Ohio house searched in connection to murders: COLUMBUS (AP) Police served a search war-'· rant Monday at the home of a brother of the sole suspect in the killings of five family members in California, a detective said. Columbus police obtained the warrants for police in Bakersfield; Calif., but woij)dn 't disclose what was found at the home of Melvin Brothers or three vehicles. ''There's things we asked for on the search warrant and there's things of interest .to them that they're collecting," said Detective Wayne Buck. A judge granted a request that the warrant~ be sealed, he said. Detective Mary DeGeare of the Bakersfield Police Department refused to comment on the search. Vmcent Brothers, 41, an elementary school vice principal, is the only suspect in the shooting deaths of his estranged wife, three children and mother-in-Jaw in Bakersfield. A woman answering the phone at the Columbus house Monday said police had taken items during a search that afternoon. She identified herself as Melvin Brothers' wife, but declined to give her name. "My whole family, on top of the five deaths in California, we're already going through a lot," she said. ''This is a pretty horrific thing that is going on in our family." The woman said she and her husband would have no further comment.

The I 2th Ohio District Court of Appeals on Monday affirmed certification of a class action on behalf of Ohio residents who say they were injured by the narcotic. The court noted that .it would be impractical for individuals to sue $ince more than I million prescriptions for OxyContin wt;re filled in Oh1o retail pharmacies between :June 1998 and December 200 I. The •appeals court ruling afftrmed the September 2002 decision of Judge Michael Sage of Butler County Cormiton Pleas Court. The lawsuit, which excludes people who obtained the drug illegally, accuses Purdue Pharma and Abbott Laboratories of mar· keting OxyContin for wide use "despite knowing that OxyContm was unsuited for most patients." . The companies have denied the allegations and argued that OxyContin should be challenged one person at time because users' situations vary. Stanley Chesley, the Cincinnati attorney re~re· senting the plaintiffs, pratsed the appeals court ruling. ''Class certification is the only way these victims will be a:ble to fight the defendants and protect their rights," he said. Chesley said the goal of the lawsuit was not to e)iminate the sale and use of OxyContin, but to hold the companies liable for the sale and promotion of the drug as a pain panacea. "Purdue and Abbot knew that OxyContin was the equivalent of morphine and yet it marketed OxyContin as if it were little more than a simple pain medication instead of a dangerous narcotic, even more dangerous than heroin," he said. However, the drug's package insert starts with a warning that it is "a controlled substance with an abuse liability similar to heroin." It also says it should be used only for "moderate to severe pain" that needs 24-hour control. Tim . Bannon, a spokesman for the Stamford, Conn.-based Purdue Pharma, said an appeal is planned. He also said the ruling addresses only the suit's: class-action status, not the · merits of its allegations. "We remain confident that · we will eventually prevail on the merits," Bannon said. Abbott Laboratories offi- : cials could not be reached for · comment. A recording at the company 's Chicago headquarters said the offices were closed for the night.

Charlene Hoeflich General manager and news editor L 0 CAL VIEW Internet filters are no match for keen librarians ·The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a ruling that seeks to put Internet filters on computers in public libraries to block pornography. While the Meigs County Public Library system does not have any such filters in place. it does have a sensible computer use policy which prevents anyone from accessing pornographic sites. A court ruling or legislation is not going to solve the Internet debate when it comes to public access. Society is the nation's best filter. · At the Pomeroy branch of the Meigs County Library, the computers are in front of the circulation desk. The monitors are in plain view of not only the library staff but anyone waiting to check out a book. This means that anyone who dares to surf pornography sites will gel caught. · But aside from the enforceable reality of the library's Internet policy, who wants to be caught surfing pornography sites in public. How embarrassing. Public humiliation ts a more powerful force than the law. . If filters are put in place. the good they will do is questonable. Just like the V-chips of yesterday's televisions which tried in vain to block questionable television channels or programs, websites are easy to access by someone just as determined to beat the filters. A person looking for information about breast cancer or a pre-teen victim of sexual abuse searching the Internet could be shut out by filters . Librarians can temporarily remove the filter to assist the patron, but this could become impractical as patron after patron .gets caught in the filter while seeking sites with words related to those specifically blocked by the filter. Despite all the rhetoric about protecting children and the public from Internet pornography, the Supreme Court has changed very little. Librarians might as well start marking out volumes of curse words or sex scenes in books like "Catcher in the Rye" or "Lady Chatterly's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence. While the intent to protect children and the public from pomo~raphy is good. the court's ruling will change little. A keen librarian will have more impact than a filter!.

If local funding decreases, then state aid SHOULD (I did not say must) increase to make up the difference and balance out the teeter-totter. This is a mirage created by the state legislature to trick the voters into believing an equitable school funding formula exists. But a legislature and governor who routinely defy the Ohio Supreme Court and cut school funding does not impress me as ·a reliable source of revenue. For years,the school districts in Meigs County have been at the mercy of the state and have endured cuts beyond belief. But . .. Jet's say the voters decide to defeat all voted-on levies and ·instead rely on state aid or federal grant money to make up the dillerence - and that these governments can provide this money. Even in this fantasy land, there is a tradecoff. Murphy's golden rule states that he who has the gold makes the rules. Local control would be in name only because the state would control the purse strings. If taxpayers eliminate the voted-on levies completely, thus forcing the state to miraculously balance out the teeter-totter on its own, it wmdd be the same thing as Dad giving his fat control freak mother-in-law responsibility over the family checkbook.

If someone disagrees with a school board spending decision, that person can personally take that complaint to the board once a month and voice an opinion. Changes can be made. Can the same thing be said if local control reverts to a bureaucracy in Columbus or a single legislator? Education is the best investment a taxpayer can make. When I see students from Southern Local like Amy Lee, who will be attending Ohio State University in the fall, or Rachel Chapman and Brandon Smith, who will be attending Ohio University (my alma mater) in the fall, I know the tax money spent on their education in the district ivas worth every penny. Even if these three students had not gone to college, the state is still better off because the education these three students have received has added value to the state. After talking with Carla Shuler, who was their math teacher, and many other teachers at Southern Local, I know Lee, Chapman and Smith have learned how to think for themselves. This translates into good employees at area businesses who will serve customers better than some kid who did not learn how to read or do math because there were not enough books to go around, too fewJeachers or buildin~s that were too cold to learn m this past February. So there you have it - an inexpensive investment that keeps making returns in the present and future . What more could a taxpayer want?

All nine council members sponsored a proposal to ask voters in November to create a commission to draft a charter.

If home runs are your thing, then this might not be the team to watch. Meigs has used solid hitting and a deep pitching statf to silently become one of the best Legion teams in southeastern Ohio. Meigs' wins at Winfield is a prime example of its hitting philosophy. Meigs won 12-9 and 11-4 despite not. hitting any home runs. Meigs, though, did collect 23 hits, including five doubles in both wins combined.

Pujols started slowly, hitting just four homers in the ti rst round, which tied for third with Jim Edmonds and Gary Sheffield, trailing defending champion Jason Giambi ( 12) and Anderson (seven).

A year ago, he was 6-9, overweight and worrying more about his social life than his ERA. "C.C. has grown up right before our eyes," Wedge said. "He has been outstanding." • Rookies Jason Davis (7-7) and Billy Traber (4-5) weren't expected to do much, but have been impressive with their command and poise: Both could be in Cleveland's rotation for years.· • Third baseman Casey Blake (.271) signed with the Indians as a minor league free agent after being b~ried in Minnesota's system. After a sluggish stan. he has batted nearly .350 since June I and may be the solution to a troublesome position. . · "He's a baseball player who represents a lot of character traits that we want our players to have," Shapiro said. "He's been a great story." • Second baseman Brandon Phillips (.2 10) has been the exception to the success of the Indians' young players.

Meanwhile, Meigs has nine capable pitchers at its disposal and a few of those able of going the distance. Smith and Dustin Gibbs each pitched complete games against Winfield. It is that pitching depth and endurance that may play a key factor in how Meigs ends the season and how it'll do in the playotfs.

DEAR MOTHER: Please accept my deepest ·sympathy for the tragic loss of your daughter. Your letter carnes a strong message, and I'm pleased to share it. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Since I'm dealing with similar issues as that daughter in New York, it occurs to me that she might not know that in many pla~es - and with many insurance programs supplementing Medicare - vanous services are available that can help to maintain individuals in their homes. It might be less expensive and more satisfyin!! for all concerned to try th1s alternative before going to assisted living. . In my case, the insurance coml?any provides a care prov1der who helps with housekeeping, meal preparation, jlivmg meds, bathing, and tnps to the doctor, pharmacy, groc·ery shopping, etc. And all for a minimal co-pay for any visit to provide the needed care. - DIANE IN INDIO, CALIF. DEAR DIANE: For some people - not all - that's a viable alternative. Families wJto are interested should check with the local office on aging, local senior centers, the Visiting Nurse Association, their Medicare supplemental insurance provider, Meals on Wheels, and local transportation companies to inquire if they provide free or low-cost transportation for seniors to get to . doctors, pharmacies, markets, etc. kind BlaloCk's dlnger clinches hoine-fleld advantage. 48 Rtace 49 Didn't yet 51 Trump ex 53 - Kippur Plant a lawn Hlllr·styllng goo 8 Mother 54 Beige rabbit 55 Yes, In 11 Shoe Yokohama preserver 57 Ballpark 12 They exist figures 13 Leer 61 Flashy sign 15 Tall tale 62 Sixth sense 16 Damp 63 Bird-feeder 17 Kukla's treat friehd 64 Biology 18 Class le«ers 20 Trigger lock 65 That woman 22 Camel kin 66 Fictional . 25 Dusting governess cloth 26 Bering, e.g. DOWN 27 -de cologne 1 Hog's home 28 Microscope 2 NOW tens cause, once 31 TV hookups 3 Ever, 33 Hubbub to Byron 34 Discuss 4 Jeans fabric 38 Uh-huh··· 5 Stare at 39 Cartoon 6 Belore Chihuahua 7 Doesn't 40 British bother school 12 wets.) 41 Funny 8 Remove mistake 9 Hideous 44 - tal monsters (rum drink) 10 Make happy 45 two - 1.4 "Orinoco 1 5 .

REED breed@ mydailysentinel .com MIDDLEPORT Middleport Village Council · will decide Thursday afternoon whether the village pool will remain open for the remainder of the season. The pool operation is losing money on a daily basis, according to Village Clerk Susie French, who discussed dwindling receipts and growing expenses with council members on Monday night. The latest financial snail at the pool is a broken chlonnator, and the village has no money to repair or replace the equipment, which distributes chlorine into the pool. A pool employee is now chlorinating the pool by hand, according to Mayor Sandy Iannarelli. The pool operation ended 2002 with a $9,000 operating deficit, French said. Earlier this year, coul)cil approved a $17,000 appropriation for the pool, but $10,000 of that appropriation was later transferred to the fire fund so the fire department could purchase hats and other safety gear, according to Bob Pooler, chairman of the recreation committee. Since the pool opened in mid-June, only $5,710 has been received in donations, gate admissions and concession sales, while $11,000 has been spent on repairs, salaries and other operating costs.

POMEROY - Nearly everyone has an Adolph's memory. The small drive-in Dairy Valley was a warm-weather staple in Meigs County for more than 40 years, but was demolished Monday as part of the site preparation for the new Pomeroy/Mason Bridge. Long before the national fast-food franchises arrived CUT~OUI!. f'ARt because of ne.eded repairs likely contributed to poor attendance and pass sales. Whil~ the pool has drained finances th1s year, some council members suppon keeping it in operation until the opening of the Meigs County Fair, the traditional closing date for the pool. "The pool is the only thing our kids have left," council member Linda Haley said. "We need to hang on to it as long as we can." Council President Stephen Houchins, who serves as chairman of the village finance committee, said the short-term issue of the pool Please see Pool, AS Increased traffic in Pomeroy headache to some Obituaries WORD®©®CD@@@©®- "We can't afford to keep the pool open," French said Monday night "We can't even make the next payroll, anj we can't pay any of our other bills." French said the pool has, on average, collected less than $100 a day since it opened, while the cost of lifeguard salaries alone is $135 a day. The sale of season passes, a money-maker for the pool in years past, has been virtually non-existent this year. Only three season passes have been sold to date, French said.

Denni s Saelens. whose father, Adolph, lent the place its name, said the restauranfs prime location at the bridge approach was just part of the reason for its xears of success. "It was just what people were looking for when it first opened," Saelens said. "People were just beginning to eat out more, and there weren't as many choices here then as there are now. "For years, it was the place to go for a Jot of peapie, who remembered those · days."

AS POMEROY - Business owners say the increased traffic along Main Street in Pomeroy makes getting into and out of their parking lots difficult .... Pomeroy Poli~ Chi~;f Mark Proffitt wants village council to considering lowering the speed limit on Main Street from 35 mph to 25 mph. While there are spots along Main Street that are already set at 25 mph, Proffitt wants village council to uniformly make the speed limit 25 mph from the Pomeroy location of Fisher Funeral Homes to Middleport, where the speed limit is already set at 25 mph along Main Street Proffitt said decreasing the speed limit will allow more ume for motorists to stop so other motorists can cross traffic . A lower speed limit will also decrease the number of accidents. Greg Mills, owner/operator of McDonald's located at.423 W. Main Street, said there is a lot of traffic coming to and from the bridge which makes it difficult for people to cross over and into traffic. "While it seems like it takes longer to cross traffic to get here (McDonalds), it usually only takes a coup,le of minutes," Mills said. 'The m[jJOrity of the employees are aware of the danger and are watching before they cross traffic.'' Mills is in favor of lowering the speed limit and thinks that would make it safer for motorists. He said there are at least six or seven accidents a year in front of his business. "Lowering the speed limit will absolutely have an effect on safety," he said. "Most people are pushing 40 mph coming off that bridge." Vera Crow, owner/manager of Craw's Steak House located at 228 W.
