One misstep around third base Monday left him rolling on the field in pain with a pulled hamstring, jeopardizing his chances of playing on opening day and dealing the Cincinnati Reds another setback. "It was pretry scary," manager Bob Boone said. It wasn't as bad as initially thought. Trainer M ark Mann said Griffey strained the lower part of his hamstring and will be evaluated again on Tuesday to get a better idea of the severity. Griffey's initial reaction was that he co uld miss the seaso n opener next Monday against Atlanta. "You look forward to starting the season and right now, I can't do it," Griffey said in a downcast voice. "That's right now. Things could change day by day, though." Griffey's hamstring problems concern the Reds. He had · a sore hamstring much of last season, his first with his hometown team, and he partially tore the top part of the hamstring in Sepc tember. Early in spring training, the sa me: afea of the hamstring started bothering Gr iffey aga1n. It felt better recently, allowing him to dive and run down balls in the outfield. " In the last 10 days or so, it's been line," Griffey said. " lt was ~ just today, that turn around thitd base." . In the seventh inning of a 3-2 loss to Kansas Ciry, Griffey was on second base following a doubk He tried to score on Alex Ochoa's single to left, but his foot slipped in the dirt as he rounded thitd. Griffey took a few labored steps before pulling up and crumbling to the ground, holding his leg. Catcher· Gregg Zaun caught the throw from left fielder Mark Quinn, walked over and gingerly tagged out Griffey while Reds players and coaches headed toward them. The Royals stood in place on the field, "'"tching Griffey roll on his back with what initially appeared to be a severe injury. The crowd of 2,786 was hushed. "When a guy goes down like that, u suall~ it's a tear," Royals manager Tony Muser said. " I hope it's not as bad as ir looked." Griffey was helped up and put his arms around teammates Dei on Sanders and Jason LaRue. He kept his left leg elevated, putting no weight on it, as · he left the field. He was limping around the clubhouse without assistance after an examination found no tear. Griffeys injury occurred in Barry Larkin's second ga me back from a groin strain that had sidelined him for the last two weeks. Larkin expects to play on opening day, but could be limited for the first few weeks. ,{. • . Naturally, there's a lo ·c,f labor involved. 0 ................... .

The new line, which is 12 inches in diameter, runs along Main Street from Plum Street to Butternut Avenue and replaces the existing eight inch cast-iron line estimated to be around 80-85 years old. Councilman J<lhn Musser said.• c0 nstr.u ction cre'Ys 1 Gr~enland­ Construchon are currently performing "tests" on the new water line and have promised to finish ~he project before the March 31 deadline. "We ·are still anticipat-· ing the project's completion as stipulated in our contract with Greenland Construction," said Musser. "However, there is still a significant amount of · work to be done before the . deadline, which is only four days away." Musser said the construction company has re~en~ly .'it)formed village officials .that' two five-marl work crews · are expected to arrive in Pomeroy within days to completely wrap-up the water line project.

Those options include contacting the bonding company who insured Greenland about a possi.ble default of contract or granting the construction · company an extension on its contract, which, Musser said, is the most likely scenario. "We feel that litigation would only prolong the project's completion and prove detrimental to both Greenland and the village," said Musser. "Our goal is to get the project finished in the quickest, most professional mariner possible." · The project was first put on hold over the Thanksgiving arid Christmas holidays after an agreement was made by both the village and Greenland workers to· cease construction efforts 'so as not to interfere with Pomeroy's merchants during one of their 2000 FORD CONTOUR 2000 MERCURY MYSTIQUE 2000 MERCURY SABLE <210choourraml 2000MERCURYMOUNTAINEER . 2000 LINCOLN TOWN CAR 2000 FORD FOCUS 4 DR 2000 FORD TAURUS (210chOOMframl 2000 FORD EXPLORER<2to-orramj 2000 LINCOLN lS 2000FORDMUSTANG (3to-framl 2000FORDWINDSTAR 2000 FORD ZX2 (llo-lraml 1999 LIMITED EXPLORER 1999 FORD.F150 (210ch-rraml 1999 DODGE DURANGO 1999FORD RANGER<2tachoaMiroml 1999 BUICI(PARKAVENUE 1998 FORD RANGER (410choaMiroml 1998FORDF150 1998 DODGE NEON 1998 DODGE RAM 1500 1998 FORD MUSTANG 1998 FORD CROWN VICTORIA 1998 FORD ESCORT <2tochoa.. troml 1998 LINCOLN TQWN CAR 1998CHEVY 1500 1997 MERCURY MYSTIQUE 1997 OLDS SILHOUmE 1997 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL (21ochooMfroml 1997 FORD RANGER 997 FORD I:VI'f! 1997 MERCURY SABLE 1997 FORD CROWN VICTORIA 1997 FORD ESCORT 1997 FORD EXPLORER ·1996 FORO EXPLORER 1996FORDF1 SO 1996 JEEP CHEROkEE 1996FORDWINDSTAR 1996MERCURYGRAND 1996 FO.RD CROWN VICTORIA 1995 FORD EXPLORER 1995 FORD EXPORT 1995 JEEP CHEROkEE 1995 FORDWINDSTAR ..

(AP) Com air pilots remained ·oft' the job Wednesday with no new talks scheduled between the pilots' union and the company and no government intervention expected. " I don 't anticipate we will be involved in the Comair strike," Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta said Tuesday in Washington.

Duane Woerth, a Northwest Airlines pilot who is national president of the Air Line Pilots Association, joined Comair pilots on the picket line Tuesday.

If area is losing population) ·see how it can be stopped During last year's promotional campaign for the U.S. Census, the importance of completing the form was hammered home to us 'because numbers revealed in the census are linchpins to just about everything, from day care to quality-of-life projects. In other words, census totals play a huge role in determining how much money states get from the federal government and who or what needs it the most. This must be true. Ever since the census began releasing totals a few weeks ago, everyone has been falling over each other to declare they can 't be right. It's a refrain we've heard' from the past two censuses, especially if the numbers fell short of expectations. · The 1990 count, in particular, drew a lot of criticism and the Census Bureau worked mightily last year to correct problems that resulted in undercounts, recounts and all kinds of local campaigns to find who was missed. Sadly, though, the totals the Census llureau has will stand as population guidelin es for the federal government. There is no further appeal in Washington if a community comes up with more numbers than what the Census reported. Those numbers may be accepted by their home state, so there's some hope there. But if there have been undercounts, we can only blame those who didn't care enough about the area for not getting the job done. The .Census had one of its most extensive prornotional efforts last year, and few can claim they weren't aware of the count or where they could get forms. · If recounts find more people than what the census revealed, how could they have been missed? People may not have known about the census, but more likely, some folks didn't care. And we're the poorer for it. But if population has declined in the past decade, we need to start looking at why and how to keep people in the area. We may already know the answers to the why part.· It's the how in stopping the population drain that needs work. We have another nine years to improve on those totals the census' has provided us. We need .to view the111 not' as a drawback, but as a problem in need of a solution - a solution we can only provide ourselves. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, March 28, the 87th day· of 2001. There are 278 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: . On March 28, 1969, the 34th president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, died in Washington at age 78.' On this date: In 1834, the U.S. Senate voted to censure President Jackson for the removal of federal deposits from the Bank of the United States. · In 1854, during the Crimean War, Britain and France declared war on Russia. In 1896, the opera "Andrea Chenier," by Umberto Giord~no, premiered in Milan, Italy. In 1898, the Supreme Court ruled that a child born in the United States to Chinese immigrants was a U.S. citizen. In 1939, the Spanish Civil War ended as Madrid fell to the forces of Francisco Franco. · · In 1930, the names of the Turkish cities of Constantinople and Angora were changed to Istanbul and Ankara. In 1941, novelist and critic Virginia Woolf died in Lewes, England. In 1942, during World War II, British naval forces raided the Nazi-occupied, French port of St. Nazaire. In 1943, composer Sergei Rachmaninoff died in .Eieverly Hills, Calif. · In 1979, America's worst commercial nuclear accident occurred inside the Unit Two reactor at the Three 'Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pa. Teh years ago: Tens of thousands of supporters of Bpris N. Yeltsin marched in Moscow in defiance of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev's ban on rallies. Fire seriously damaged the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Forr,:;er President Reagan declared his support for the so-called "Brady Bill" requiring a seven-day waiting period for handgun purchases. J Five years ago: Congress passed the line -item veto, giving the president power to cut government spending by scrapping specific. programs. The space shuttle Atlantis' astronauts said goodbye to the crew of Russia's space station Mir and then flew away, leaving Shannon ' Lucid behind for a five-month stay in orbit. ·one year ago: .

The child must be the worker's former spouse's natural or legally adopted child. There is also a special onetime payment of $255 that can be made when you die if you have enough work "credits." This payment can be made only to your spouse or minor children. if they meet certain requirements. Although you probably haven't thought about it, the fact is, the value of the survivors insurance you · have under Social Security is probably worth more than the value of any individual 'life insurance you may have.

Syracuse Asbury women have Quiet Day Service SYRACUSE - A Quiet Day Service with. a call to prayer and self-denial was given by Hope Moore at a recent meeting of the Syracuse Asbury United ' Methodist Women. Theme was "Seeing the Harvest in the Seed Time" with emphasis on the call by God to follow in the footsteps of God's beloved Son, to reach out to neighbors, to sow seeds of God's eternal love. Readings were given by Mary Lisle, Ruth Crouch, Jean Stout, and Freda Wilson. The group sang "Here I Am · Lord" was played by Lisle on the piano and an offering was taken before the benediction. Meeting at the church, Lisle, vice president, opened with group reading of the purpose in unison. Crouch ·read "These Things I Wish for You." Lisle gave devotions reading"Nature brings me to my knees. Offices' reports were given by Jean Stout. It was reported that.20 sick calls . were made.

"Earlier this year," Abmham related in his Chamber ofc;ommerce speech, "one company proposdd buildin g a $400 mil lion power plant in California that would have provided enough additional electricity to light 600,000 homes in energy-starve<\ Silicon Valley. "The company pledged to plant 800 new trees to beautifY the area," the energy secretary continued. "They proposed cloaking the power station in a brick facade to make it essentially indistinguishable from a high-rent office complex. They even promised to help maintain the local habitat for the endangered Bay Checkerspoon Butterfly.". Alas, said Abraham , "city officials voted unanimously - 11-0 - to reject the plan." ."Jn California," said Abraham, "workers are being laid off, companies are leaving the state, farmers and small businesses are losing millions, consumers are threatened with rolling blackouts - but · local officials reject power plants with little regard for the consequences." This is not scapcgoating California. This is not making fun of Californians.

Joseph PerKins Ann Landers Social Security survivor's benifits abound PERKINS ' VIEW Califorma's liberals have finally found someone they can blame for the electricity supply crisis th ey precipitated: Spencer Abraham. The energy secretary is "scapegoating" the Golden State, they whi1ie. A speech he made this week at a United States Ch~mber of Commerce conference, they contend, was "belittling" to Califorma. They suggest that Abraham "made fun" of the state's residents for opposin g power plant construction. They also contend that the energy secretary is somehow "exploiting" California's energy dilemma to sell th e Bush administration's energy policy. But anyone who actually read, Abraham's speech- and not merely secondhand press accounts of his remarks could hardly conclude that the energy secretary was "scapegoating," "belitding," "exploiting" or otherwise "mak- · ing fun" of California. He was simply conveying the truth. "California and other powerstrapped states - will never solve the power crises they confront," said Abraham, "until they resolve ' the conflict between demand and supply." Indeed, because California's liberals have so vehemently opposed conStruetion of new power plants (on the grounds that they are injurious to . the environment) and because they have held such inordinate sway wirh state regulatory agencies (particularly since Democratic Gov. Gray Davis was elected), no new power plants have been built in California over the past 10 years. Meanwhile, the state's electricity demand has grown 30· percent over that span.

You said she was "stuck" and should hire help so she doesn't have to do all the work. Children should care for their parents when they become too old to live alone. However, in most inst3nces, the caretakers turn out to be the wives, sisters and daughters, which is completely unfair.

TIME OUT FOR TIPS Eating '5 a Day -for Better Health' The National Cancer In stitute encourages people to eat lots offruiGS and vegetables to help ensure physical well. being. The Institute has promoted this recommendation through their program "5 a Day- for Better Health!" The Food Guide Pyramid, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, suggests three to five servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruits be eaten daily. With a variety of fruits and vegetables, enough vitamins, minerals and fiber will be supplied to aid in the prevention of heart disease and cancer. Even .with the Food Guide Pyramid as a guideline, only 23 percent of Americans consume the right amounts offruits and vegetables. Women tend to eat more of them than men, but they still usually don't eat enough. Sadly, in our area, most people get less than three servings a day. The "5 a Day" program is an easy reminder for us to get the amounts of fruits and vegetables that we need each day. It has five points we should remember: fruits and vegetables. Incorporate them in . the daily diet by having them at each meal and for snacks. Build meals around fruits and vegetables. Put fresh' berries, peaches or bananas on cereal. Eat fresh fruit as a quick pick- me-up. Add fruits, such as chopped apple, grapes or orange slices, to green vegetable salads. Use fruits as garnishes. Eat fruit salad. Puree frozen ADVICE fruit for juice bars or ice cubes.

If area is losing population) ·see how it can be stopped During last year's promotional campaign for the U.S. Census, the importance of completing the form was hammered home to us 'because numbers revealed in the census are linchpins to just about everything, from day care to quality-of-life projects. In other words, census totals play a huge role in determining how much money states get from the federal government and who or what needs it the most. This must be true. Ever since the census began releasing totals a few weeks ago, everyone has been falling over each other to declare they can 't be right. It's a refrain we've heard' from the past two censuses, especially if the numbers fell short of expectations. · The 1990 count, in particular, drew a lot of criticism and the Census Bureau worked mightily last year to correct problems that resulted in undercounts, recounts and all kinds of local campaigns to find who was missed. Sadly, though, the totals the Census llureau has will stand as population guidelin es for the federal government. There is no further appeal in Washington if a community comes up with more numbers than what the Census reported. Those numbers may be accepted by their home state, so there's some hope there. But if there have been undercounts, we can only blame those who didn't care enough about the area for not getting the job done. The .Census had one of its most extensive prornotional efforts last year, and few can claim they weren't aware of the count or where they could get forms. · If recounts find more people than what the census revealed, how could they have been missed? People may not have known about the census, but more likely, some folks didn't care. And we're the poorer for it. But if population has declined in the past decade, we need to start looking at why and how to keep people in the area. We may already know the answers to the why part.· It's the how in stopping the population drain that needs work. We have another nine years to improve on those totals the census' has provided us. We need .to view the111 not' as a drawback, but as a problem in need of a solution - a solution we can only provide ourselves.

In 1943, composer Sergei Rachmaninoff died in .Eieverly Hills, Calif. · In 1979, America's worst commercial nuclear accident occurred inside the Unit Two reactor at the Three 'Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pa. Teh years ago: Tens of thousands of supporters of Bpris N. Yeltsin marched in Moscow in defiance of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev's ban on rallies. Fire seriously damaged the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.

Theme was "Seeing the Harvest in the Seed Time" with emphasis on the call by God to follow in the footsteps of God's beloved Son, to reach out to neighbors, to sow seeds of God's eternal love. Readings were given by Mary Lisle, Ruth Crouch, Jean Stout, and Freda Wilson. The group sang "Here I Am · Lord" was played by Lisle on the piano and an offering was taken before the benediction. Meeting at the church, Lisle, vice president, opened with group reading of the purpose in unison. Crouch ·read "These Things I Wish for You."

"Earlier this year," Abmham related in his Chamber ofc;ommerce speech, "one company proposdd buildin g a $400 mil lion power plant in California that would have provided enough additional electricity to light 600,000 homes in energy-starve<\ Silicon Valley. "The company pledged to plant 800 new trees to beautifY the area," the energy secretary continued. "They proposed cloaking the power station in a brick facade to make it essentially indistinguishable from a high-rent office complex. They even promised to help maintain the local habitat for the endangered Bay Checkerspoon Butterfly.". Alas, said Abraham , "city officials voted unanimously - 11-0 - to reject the plan." ."Jn California," said Abraham, "workers are being laid off, companies are leaving the state, farmers and small businesses are losing millions, consumers are threatened with rolling blackouts - but · local officials reject power plants with little regard for the consequences." This is not scapcgoating California. This is not making fun of Californians. It is simply explaining why the nation's richest, most P,opulous state cannot gencrate enoqgh electricity within its barders to satisfY its own needs: It explains why it must go begging to (Joseph Perkins#' columnistfor'IJe San ..;:: out-of-state energy suppliers.

Joseph PerKins Ann Landers Social Security survivor's benifits abound PERKINS ' VIEW Califorma's liberals have finally found someone they can blame for the electricity supply crisis th ey precipitated: Spencer Abraham. The energy secretary is "scapegoating" the Golden State, they whi1ie. A speech he made this week at a United States Ch~mber of Commerce conference, they contend, was "belittling" to Califorma. They suggest that Abraham "made fun" of the state's residents for opposin g power plant construction. They also contend that the energy secretary is somehow "exploiting" California's energy dilemma to sell th e Bush administration's energy policy. But anyone who actually read, Abraham's speech- and not merely secondhand press accounts of his remarks could hardly conclude that the energy secretary was "scapegoating," "belitding," "exploiting" or otherwise "mak- · ing fun" of California. He was simply conveying the truth. "California and other powerstrapped states - will never solve the power crises they confront," said Abraham, "until they resolve ' the conflict between demand and supply." Indeed, because California's liberals have so vehemently opposed conStruetion of new power plants (on the grounds that they are injurious to . the environment) and because they have held such inordinate sway wirh state regulatory agencies (particularly since Democratic Gov. Gray Davis was elected), no new power plants have been built in California over the past 10 years. Meanwhile, the state's electricity demand has grown 30· percent over that span.

Dear Ann Landers: Please rethink your advice to the wpman whose husband says his elderly, "fragil e" mother Gill no longer live o n her owri and in sists she n1ovc in with them. You said she was "stuck" and should hire help so she doesn't have to do all the work. Children should care for their parents when they become too old to live alone. However, in most inst3nces, the caretakers turn out to be the wives, sisters and daughters, which is completely unfair. Tell that woman to get a full-time job and have her husband retire so HE can stay home . and be the caretaker for his fragile mother. It may give him a better understanding of the situation . - Edna in Arizona Dear Edna: The cheering and applause you hear is the expression of approVal from all the women who are ca retakers of their aged in: laws.

TIME OUT FOR TIPS Eating '5 a Day -for Better Health' The National Cancer In stitute encourages people to eat lots offruiGS and vegetables to help ensure physical well. being. The Institute has promoted this recommendation through their program "5 a Day- for Better Health!" The Food Guide Pyramid, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, suggests three to five servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruits be eaten daily. With a variety of fruits and vegetables, enough vitamins, minerals and fiber will be supplied to aid in the prevention of heart disease and cancer. Even .with the Food Guide Pyramid as a guideline, only 23 percent of Americans consume the right amounts offruits and vegetables. Women tend to eat more of them than men, but they still usually don't eat enough. Sadly, in our area, most people get less than three servings a day. The "5 a Day" program is an easy reminder for us to get the amounts of fruits and vegetables that we need each day. It has five points we should remember: fruits and vegetables. Incorporate them in . the daily diet by having them at each meal and for snacks. Build meals around fruits and vegetables. Put fresh' berries, peaches or bananas on cereal. Eat fresh fruit as a quick pick- me-up. Add fruits, such as chopped apple, grapes or orange slices, to green vegetable salads. Use fruits as garnishes. Eat fruit salad.

Under the measure, which still must be taken up in the Senate, maximum death benefits rise by $50,000, to $250,000. The aim of the retroactive provision is to cover families such as relatives of the USS Cole victims, who were killed during an ·O ct. 12 terrorist bombing in Yemen.

Mardi :II, ::1001 NEW YORK (AP) Despite the bloodletting on Wall Street, consumer confidence made a forceful comeback in March after fi~ straight months of decline. Stocks surged after the Conference Board reported that its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 117 in March, up fiom 109.2 in February. It was the first increase since September. Analysts had been expecting a reading of only 104.1. "It is somewhat of a surprise and consumers are obviously realizing that the realiry is much better than the perception in the stock market;' said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at WeUs fargo & Co. Optimism about jobs and business conditions overshadowed indications th e economy is weakening, according to the consumer confidence index.

The measure lays the groundwork for Bush's proposed I 0year, $1 .6 trillion tax cut phn, steers $2.3 trillion toward debt reduction over the same period and limits spending for many programs in 2002 to 4 percent more than this year. That is half the spending growth that lawmakers and former President Clintqn approved last year. · "This is an opportuniry that only comes around every few years ... to have a watershed budget," House Budget Committee Chairm:m Jim Nussle, R-Iowa, said Tuesday as debate began. Court ponden marijuana use WASHINGTON (AP) - S<riously ill people who claim marijuana is nothing short of a miracle drug are watching anxiously as the Supreme Court examines whether the drug may be dispensed legally The court's watershed ruhng, expected by June,likely will settle whether patients may get marijuana as a "medical necessiry" even though it is an illegal drug under federal law. A ruling for the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Club would allow special marijuana clubs to resume distributing the drug in California , wh ich passed one of the nation's first medical marijuana laws in 1996. A ruling for the federal government would not negate the California voter initiative, but would effectively' prevent clubs like Oakland's from distributing the drug . . Bill hikes death benefits WASHINGTON (AP) -Death benefits would be increased for survivors of service members killed in a string of recent disasters under a bill approved Tuesday by the House. The provision, part of a broad veterans' benefits package, passed on a 417-0 vote. It makes retroactive to Oct. 1 an increase that had been scheduled to take effect April 1. Under the measure, which still must be taken up in the Senate, maximum death benefits rise by $50,000, to $250,000. The aim of the retroactive provision is to cover families such as relatives of the USS Cole victims, who were killed during an ·O ct. 12 terrorist bombing in Yemen. Also eligible would be the families of the victims of the March 3 crash of a cargo plane in Georgia in which 18 members of the Virginia Air National Guard and three Army crewmen were killed.

Mardi :II, ::1001 NEW YORK (AP) Despite the bloodletting on Wall Street, consumer confidence made a forceful comeback in March after fi~ straight months of decline. Stocks surged after the Conference Board reported that its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 117 in March, up fiom 109.2 in February. It was the first increase since September. Analysts had been expecting a reading of only 104.1. "It is somewhat of a surprise and consumers are obviously realizing that the realiry is much better than the perception in the stock market;' said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at WeUs fargo & Co. Optimism about jobs and business conditions overshadowed indications th e economy is weakening, according to the consumer confidence index. "! think consumers were scared stiff in the past, and now they've seen the light in the economy and dec1ded things are not all that bad;' Sohn said. In the two weeks ended Friday, the Dow Jones · industrial average had plunged 1,139.84, or 10.7 percent, and briefly strayed into bear market territory defined by a 20 percent drop fiom its high. The technoloogy-heavy Nasdaq index is entrenched in bear territory. down 61 percent from its peak of 5,048.62 more than a year ago. S~1rting on 'Friday, however, the Dow staged a steady comeback, and the rally continued Tuesday as the index spurred hopes that Americans' spending could fevive COinpany profits sooner than expected. According to preliminary figures, the Dow ended the day Tuesday up 260 points at 9,948, and the Nasdaq rose 54 to dose at 1,972. factors such as low unemployment and higher wage expectations are "powerful forces" that can overcome worries about the stock market, said Kevin flanagan, a strategist at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. The strong consumer confidence num-· hers may weaken the chances the Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates again to stimulate the economy "This undoubtedly puts less pressure on the Fed .to do much aggressive rate easing in the near term;' said David Orr, an econonust at First Union Corp.

Lawmakers would spend an additional $900 million to $1.4 billion over two years to fix Ohio's school-funding system under the latest proposal being considered to meet an Ohio Supreme Court order. If lawmakers settle on the higher amount, the plan would be · more expensive than earlier proposals by Gov. Bob Taft and the Ohio Senate, but cheaper than a plan presented earlier this month by House Speaker Larry~Householder. · That $3 billion plan died after Tafi and Senate President Richard Finan objected to a proposal to raise money by placing electronic 'slot machines at Ohio's seven racetracks. The state is spending about $6.9 bil, lion on primary and secondary education in the current fiscal year. Meanwhile, the group of lawmakers and aides working on the latest school-funding plan has suspended its work to hash out several issues independently,J"aft's office said Wednesday. "The participants needed to review the progress to date, to discuss within their own camps open policy . questions, and to wrestle with the big question of balancing the state budget as required by the state constjtution," Taft spokesman Kevin Kellems said.
