. ELGIN (AP) - Two people were found dead in a weekend
house fire in this northwest Ohio community, the Va11 Wert Coun[y· sheriff's department said Sunday.
A dispatcher said this morning the victims haven't been identified and the cause and amount of damages haven't be~n determined.

in at 3:16 a,m. Saturday and the house was engulfed in flames when
firefighters arrived. He said the bodies of two people who appeared
to be young adults were found in the kitchen area after the fire was
extinguished.

.Fonner deputy faces murder charge
CINCINNATI (AP) - A former Hamilton County sheriff's
deputy was arrested and charged with murder Saturday after police
spent a week searching for him. ·
.
Owen Hobbs, 52, is to be arraigned today on the charge in the
Feb. 19 shooting death of Rashawn Berry in suburban Silv~rton,
said Hamilton County Prosecutor Mike Allen.
Berry, 25, was shot outside an ·apartment building, where he was
visiting a relative. A motive for the shooting hasn't been determined, Allen said. .
·
Authorities were alerted to Hobbs' whereabouts after a woman
who lived in the house where Hobbs was a guest noticed· that he
resembled a photograph of the suspect on newscasts Friday night;
Allen said.
·When she confronted Hobbs, he denied he was the man in the
photograph and then fled, Allen said.

Hobbs was fired from the sheriff's department in 1996 after he

that local officials must clearly convey that the museum remains a
top priority for the region.

and to the new riverfront; should funding in -the current capital bill
be denied," Conliffe wrote. "To be clear, the ~reedom Center will ·
UOt SUCCeed without State funding."

a commitment for another $7 million the following year. The state
'previously committed $1 million for the project.

The

man who gunned down a 22-year-old police officer 13 years ago is up
for parole next month, much to
the chagrin of the officer's emo. tionally exhausted parents who say
the killer never should be freed.
"We should not have to suffer
living a life every day knowing that
the system that Jeff died to protect
frees the man that killed hlm, didn't care enough to keep him in
J?rison;' Jeff Phegley's father, Joe,
told The Cincinnati Enquire~ for a
story Sunday.
The Ohio Parole ·Board will
consider on March 7 whether
. Tony Mcintosh should be released.
It is the first time his case has come
up for a hearing.
Phegley had been on. the Morrow police force six months when
Mcintosh fired a shotgun blast .at
him during a traffic stop Jan. 21,
1987. He was the first Warren
County officer to be. killed in five
decades.
e
They got into a fight when
Mcintosh refused Phegley's .six
orders to place his hands on the
. car.
.
Prosecutors say Mcintosh fired
first, but Mcintosh mairttains he
was shot first. He said he blindly
fired his shotgun fiom the driver's
window of his car in Phegley's
direction as he wa.• trying to flee.
He was convicted of murder
and sentenced to 15-years-to life. ·
"It was clearly a brutal crime
with a vicious weapon;· Warren
County Prosecutor Tim Oliver .
said. .
"The olticer's mistake in using
deadly force, and Mcintosh's miStake in being a punk, led to circumstances that got out of both of
their control;' said Mclntosb's
lawyer, Johh D. Smith of Springboro.
.
,
"Somebody died, · and some- .
body. w.:nt to prison. The result
was disaster."

McCain for pulling out of the

"We're not going to let

countered
McCain
spokesman Todd Harrjs.

Senior McCain aides dismissed
any suggestions that the senator
was easing his commitment to
California .
McCain has scheduled six
campaign days in the state before
the primary, and is running $3
million in television commercials
in the state, the aides said. Officials ate considering adding
another day to that effort.
·
The California situation is the
opposite from earlier jn the campaign, when McCain repeatedly
attacked · Bus~ for ducking
debates.
Some aides warned · that
McCain's upcoming trip to Cali~
fornia, which ends hours before
the debate, will be dominated by
questions about skipping the
event, and that it would give Bush
an excuse to duck future face-

In all cases, districts will have
five years to move up each rung
of the ratin gs ladder, meaning
those graded "acadenuc emergency',' have 15 yeats to reach
"effective.''

The distric ts have 120 days to

John O'Connor, leader of New
York's 2.4 milli on Catholics, saying his speech . was "·a misse'd
opportunity" to speak out against
religious and racial discrimina.tion.
.
In his letter, w hich his campaign released, Bush stated his
"profound respect" for th'e
Roman Catholic Church and said
the criticism of him is unfair and
unfounded.

Tax cuts should bendit all,
not just certain sectors

Akron Beacon Journal, Feb. 14:
House ·Republicans flattered President Clinton last week. They
discovered the valu e of narrowly focused and highly popular proposals.
They won passage of legislation that
would ease the marriage penalty, a quirk in
the tax code that finds some married couples paying more in income taxes than
they would if they were single. Republi. cans also added a famili ar twist: excess.
•
They would ·aid millions of couples who
aren 't harmed by the penalty.
The result? A tax cut that would begin· rell\rively small yet by the
end of a decade total $28 billion a year. That.is' more than the president wants to spe"d on prescription drug coverage for Medicare
beneficiaries.
Why would House Republit ans help those who are not hit by
the penalty? Many suggested marriage itself should be rewarded. A
noble thought, if not the initial reason for their effort. The trouble
is, juggling provisions of the tax' code can be 111C!iSY. The evolution
of the marriage penalty dates to the late 1940s when single filers
complained the tax code permitted many married couples to pay
lower taxes on the same income.
·
If the marriage penalty is going to be addressed, why not simply
aid those affected or, better, those really pinched because they chose.
to marry?
The Middletown Journal, Feb. 16:
In December, the White House ordered the National Science
.Foundation to conduct a one-year study on the feasibility of online
voting. The study will bring together legal scholars, technical spe.cialists and experts on th•: democratic process to consider whether
· cybervoting might increase turnout without creating problems with
fraud and privacy.
·
Along with the one-year study, the White House has, announced
at .least two states will have the use of online voting in the 2000
presidential primary cycle. In Alaska and Arizona, online votes will,
for the first time, count In an ·election for national public office.
We are .encouraged by this online voting test, but along with oth-.
ers, we are concerned with fraud within the system. With proper
investigation and security checks, we believe the online venture is
something that will only make voting easier for the American public.
News Journal, Mansfield, Feb. 17:
There is absolutely, positively no excuse for what George Telidis .
did at his teen-age son's high school soccer game.
Quite fran\dy, we think he got off with a light sentence.
Municipal Judge Larry Allen on Tuesday gave Telidis, 40, of
Rocky River, credit for community service done for the city of
Eastlake the past two months for punching one of his son's soccer
opponents during a match last fall.
It's obvious Telidis is sorry for what he did. But it's also clear he
still doesn't understand that you never can allow your emotions to
overcome you at an athletic evc.nt, no matter what happens on the

Bl" ED PETERSON
SOCIAL SECURI'TY MANAGER IN ATHENS

Many women complain about certain aspects of
the Social Security program. Here are some of the
most common gripes.
•
• "My husband and I bot~ worked and paid taxes,
so why do I get a smaller Social Security check than .
he does?''
• "Why am I limited to getting just half of my
husband's Social Security?"
• "I worked for years at low paying jobs and
earned a.small Social Security check, but I get more
as a widow on my husband's record. If I had never
worked, I'd still get the same amount as a widow.
Where did all my So&lt;ial Security taxes go?"
• "When my ·husband died, why did I have to
return his last Social Security check?"
Those are just a sampling of the concerns many
women have about Social Security. Often, they are
the result of misunderstandings about the program.
It's true that most women receive less money from
Social Security than men do. But the. program is
gender-neutral, meaning men and women are treat·ed the same. Society, however, has not always been
as-fair. It's no secret that women, on average, .earn
less then men. But less well known is the fact that ai1
Social Security benefiis are based on a person's lifetime earnings. In effect, the more you earn, the
higher your Social Security hl!nefit will be. As
· women approach men in wage parity, they also will
approach men in retirement benefit parity.
But more women than men qualify for Social

she is by no means limited ·to that rate. If a woman
has worked and earned her own Social. Security
benefit, nothing prevents her from collecting it.
Anyone entitled to benefits on two account numbers receives a benefit equal to the · higher . of the
tw~
.
Some widows who have worked all or most of
their lives at low paying jobs resent 'the fact that they
don't seem ·to get any extra credit for their own
work and taxes. They forget the fact that while they
were working, their Social Security taxes were paying for po!entially valuable disability and survivors

families had something happened to them before

.. · Finally, some women complain that Social Security . benefits are not prorated, For example, i,f a
woman's . husband dies on March 29, his Social
·s ecurity ·check that comes in April, must be
returned in fiill. The law says no benefits are payable
for the month of death. But there's a flip side to that
rule that helps most women. In the example just
cited, the wife of the man who died would receive
a widow's benefit for th'e full month of March, even
.though she was not a widow until the 29th day of
the month.
Social Security is important to everyone, but is
especially significant to women. To learn more, call
1-800-772-1213 and ask for a copy of the booklet,

Pump price jumps 6 cents
•

LOS ANGELES (AP) -Gasoline prices jumped· 6 cents per gal•
!on at the pump in the past two weeks, su rpassi ng the all-rime peak
recorded in November 1990, an industry an'alyst said.
High crude oil prices and strpng demand combined to drive up
· the national average price, including all. grades and taxes, to $1.4713
as of Friday. That was an increase of6.08 cents from Feb. 11, according to the Lundberg Survey of 10,000 stations nationwide, analyst
·Trilby Lundberg said Sunday.
"The international oil community is speetdating tha.t key world
· oil producers may increase oil production in April, .which woulel
ease .oil prices and therefore gasoline prices," Lundberg said. "But
for now, gasoline prices will proqably hover around; their current
levels or rise even further."

Before now, the highest average price for .a gallon of gasoline in
the nation was $1.46 in 1990, Lundberg said. But stro[\g demand
indicates the price increase has not created a crisis.
"Despite ellis record high level for gasoline prices, unadjusted for
inflation though it may be, consumption has not flinched,'' Lundberg said. "This suggests that prices are not at an emergency high
level at this point."

Moines and Iowa City, Iowa;
Rockford; Ill.; Vicksburg, Miss.;
Monroe and Shreveport, La.;
Lake Geneva and Janesville, Wis.;
and destination.i on the Atlantic
Coast of florida including Daytona Beach, Cape Canaveral and
Fort Pierce.
Also, people as far north as
Boston will be able to board a
train and travel to florida without having to transfer in New
York. Gamblers will find more
trains to take them to Shrevepan's casinos. Ridets can board in
, Michigan, sleep' as their train
dashes through Canada and wake
up in upstate New York, on the
way to New York Ciry.
There are losers as well.
By taking a northern route
through more heavily populated
cities in Texas, the Sunset Limited
train will no longer stop in Del
Rio, Alpine and Sanderson.
Similarly, the lnternational.will
stop in Ann Arbor and Dearborn,
Mich., but no longer serve 6ve
other Michigan cities - East
Lansing, Durand, Flint, Lapeer
arid P~rt Huron.

Labonte's strategy pays off in .Rockingham win
BY MIKE HARRIS
AP·MOTORSPORTS WRITER

ROCKINGHAM , N.C. - A classic
finish was building; with Dale Earnhardt
at his intimidating best chasing down
· leader Bobby Labonte late in the DuraJ.ube/Kmart 400. 1
Labonte's lead of rtiore than six seconds
was diminishing by the lap on North Carolina Speedway's 1.Ql7-mile oval.
But not even the sight of the feared
blacli: No.3 Chevrolet looming in his. mirror could deter Labonte, whose everincreasing confidenc~r:and consistent performance has made , him one of the
favorites in the 2000 Winston Cup cham. pionship chase.
On Sunday, it came down to two fast

. drivers with differing strategies on a track

Sammy Sosa got right into the

the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
Later, the slugger launched 13

"This · is a new n)illennium

Sosa pronounced himself
healthy after a bout with the flu, .
offered assUrances he's "still hun-

60-plus homers and said he's
ready to steal more bases if that's
what new manager Don Baylor

. "I feel like a rookie. I'm never
satisfied and I always want to go
to the next level. This is the ye2r
I have to go out and put every,thing together. We have new,

In batting practice, Sosa faced
20 pitches. He hit ju~t one ball

·handed to 3-year-old Luqs

On Sunday his Joe G1bbs Racmg Pontiac

Labonte hung Wlth rhe leaders throughout
the 393 lap race and finally began to show his
power when he took the lead on lap 242
Ponnacs and Chevrolets swept the top fot~r
poSit!ODS JUSt a week after the top Ford Tauruses caused an uproar about a supposed aerodynarruc advantage by taking the first five

Clarke
fromPapBl

ohe

when he tned to mount
of hiS famous
comebacks and Clarke became tlie first full
time European Tour player to wm on US soli
smce Lee Westwood won m New Orleans m
1998
"Darren JUSt flat outplayed me Woods sa1d
He played beaut1fully
The fans who turned out for what they
thought would be another Woods coronation
at La Costa found that out early
Even when Woods nearly aced the par 3
third hole to go up quickly, Clarke never
seemec;l mtlnudated He came out Wtth five
front-mne b1rdies to start the mormng match
and nussed only one f:urway all day.
Woods meanwhile was making nustakes he
didn r make all week Staymg even after the
first 18 he played only 1 under the rest of the
way
To play as well as that under the cucumstances tpday ag:unst the best player m the
world 1S certatnly very gralltymg Clarke
sa1d
Clarke came mto the tournament ranked

spots m Daytona
As dull as the race was m Daytona Rockmgham was exc1tmg throughout Wlth 22lead
changes among 10 dnvers until Labonte took
the lead for the final time Wlth 113 laps
remammg
By lap 364 Labonte s lead was at 1ts b1ggest
At that pomr crowd favonte Earnhardt began
to close m choppmg tenths of a second off on
every lap
It appeared for a while he would catch the
leader but Labonte was able to weave his way
through heavy traffic keepjng Earnhardt at
bay
The two leaders hroke free of traffic four
laps from the end but tt was too late for Earn
hardt who came across the fimsh line 1 068
seconds - about 10 car lengths - behind
Labonte

TUCSON Anz (AP) -The
b1ggest obstacle J1m Carter had
to clear was self doubt
Carter who made hiS debut
on the PGA Tour m 1987 and
then went 291 tournaments
Without a VIctory ended the
stnng Sunday when he won the
Tucson Open by making up four
shots on th1rd-round leader Tom
Scherrer
Then hu face streaked Wttb
tears he talked about life as a
non-wmner
All the players are a great
support for each other but they
are kind of our there beatmg
your brams out There s no guarantee that you ever get to Slt up
here and take home some hard
ware so there s tons of doubt
Carter sa1d
He sa~d he h1t a low pomt a
week ago when he played well
but sttll miSSed the cut m Los
Angeles
I was like Geez I don t
know 1fl can do 11- maybe tt s
not supposed to be for me sa1d
Carter who closed w1th a 6
under-par 66 that left h1m two
shots ahead of Scherrer Chns
D1Marco and Jean Van de Velde
Instead of qu1ttmg he gave
himself a pep talk on the way to
Tucson Nattonal where the former Anzona State golfer won a
college tournamentm 1984 The
prev10us year he was the NCAA
medalm
It was hts best result as a pro

-

the $540 000 wmner s share
15 about $80 000 more than
Carter earned last year hiS best
season and shot h1m to SIXth on
the money hst w1th $580,763
HIS best fimsh unt1l thiS event
was thud four limes - m 1989
1995 1996 and 1998 - and he
hadn t had a top 10 fimsh smce
last June
The field was diluted by the
absence of the top stars who
played m the Match Play ChampiOnship but Carter d1dn t back
m H1s 19-under 269 matched
Dav1d Duval s wmmng score of
two years ago - the lowest m
four years smce the tournament
abandoned a two course format
and settled on Tucson National
He also beat players of the cal
1ber of Van de Vel de last years
runner up at the Brmsh Open

and 1996 US Open wmner
Steve Jones who bogeyed the
last hole and wound up lied
With R1ck Fehr for fifth at 27'1:
Fust-round leader Steve Lowery Woody Austm Steve Flesch
and Kirk Tnplett who won his
first mle last week m Los Angeles were grouped at 273 with
Kevm Sutherland and Ted Purdy
at 274
Scherrer bogeyed two of the
first four holes but made his
second b~rdte of the round on
the mnth hole and reached 18under wnh another b~rdie on
No 10
That was as far as hiS clubs
would take h1m and all 1t d1d
was get h1m Wlthm one stroke of
Carter who opened a 2-shot
lead when he rolled m a 3-foot
b1rd1e putt on the 11th hole

1/

Many times, I have stressed the
importance of taking some time at
trick one to plan a campaign.
Once, a student retorted thai his
opponents always complain
whenever he does that. I suggested that he ask them to be quiet,
and to say ·that because they
broke his concentration, he would ·
have to go through his routine
again.
When it was this gentleman's
tuni to be declarer, he played the
· first five tricks quicker than the
shuttle leaves the launch pad.
Then he stopped. He paused for
fully two minutes, trying to find
a way to recover a lost cause. If
only he had planned at trick one,
he would have ·seen the trap,
avoidell ii, and made his contract
-- and the el~psed time would
have been the same- ··
West made the same error in
defending this Ileal .
. Over North's takeoul double,
East made an aggressive jump to
. four hearts. When North doubled
again, South might have passed
and collected plus 200. But he
went with h\5long suit, expecting
partner to h&amp;ve four-card support
·" and did 420 points better.
West started with two top
hearts. After ruffing, South tried
the spade finesse. It lost, but a
moinent later he drew the remaining trumps and conceded three
tricks: one spade, one heart and
one diamond.
For his four-heart raise, East
rated to have five hearts, not four.
Also, his holding the spade. king
was likely. West should have
switched to the ace and another
diamond. Then, when East got in
with the spade king, a diamond
ruff would . have downed the
declarer. .
Opponents jostle you only
because then you are more likely
to fail in a makable contract.

POMEROY - Meigs County sheriff's deputies filed a grievance through their union Monday morning in the hopes of getting new patrol cars. ·
Deputy . Kevin Dugan, presi. dent of tbe local Ohio Patrol- ·
men's Benevolent Association,
said the action ~ filed because
the Board of County Commissioners has been ·unresponsive to
t!eputies' req11ests for new vehi, cles.
Dugan said he met twice with
commissioners, two weeks apart,
and that commissioners then
scheduled' a meeting with Sheriff
James M. Soulsby .last Friday
morning.
He said that, commissioner$
did not show up for the meeting
and the sheriff waited in the
commissioners' office fpr approXimately 40 minutes:
·
Commissioner Mick Davenport declined comment Monday·

night on Dugan's statement, but
said the board was preparing ~
response.
.
The grievance W3$ filed against
Soulsby, who reportedly denied
the grievance, saying he has not
received his budget from the
commissioners.
. The grievance will .~ost likely
proceed to a mediator appointed
by the uoion, Dugan said.
Dugan emphasized that the
deputies' complaints are with the
commissioners and not the sher~
iff. However, he said the grievance had to go through the sher~
iff since he is in charge of that
department.
'
·
Instead of trying to resolve the
prohlem, the comrmssJoners
ignored it, he said.
Along with the latest action,
the deputies are now asking thilt
six, high-mileage cruisers be
replaced instead of the three cars
originally requested.
