To Be Patient :::::::~---1 In today'• world; it oeelll5 we are all so busy that we don't want to wait even a few minutes for anything. We become impatient on checkout lines, at automatic teller machines, in the doctor's office, and so on. Perhaps, we should just by to understand that there will always be situations in our daily lives that will require some waiting. During a waiting situation, possibly we should just try to relax and teD ourselves that our Lord may want us to pray silently · for someone. Also, sometimes just talking to a person next to us makes waiting euier and helps to pass the time. A few silent prayers, a pleasant word spoken to someone, or just relaxing can make any waiting situation better. God wants us to demonstrate His love by being tolerant and patient with each other.

The Older Americans Act was first enacted ·in 1965 and funding for programming was started in the late 1960s. The Act, described by Oliver as "the blueprint for ·a ,, • ' solid foundation of local services and senior programming" expired in 1995 and has not been reauthorized. "The money has been authorized;' the act itself has not been reauthorized," said Olives, who wenl on to p<)int out that the "lack of . renewal brings into question the funding security provided by the Older Americans AcL" In the early 1970s, according to the exec. utive director, the Older Americans Act funds provided most of the local service dolIars to Senior Centers. Now, she pointed out, the amount may only fund 10 to 25 percent of the cost of operating an average senior center, but that funding provides ·the leverage dollars which encourage state, regional and local partnerships. "The security 'of the Act is the important thing about the reauthorization; the money has not diminished," she emphasized. "But," she continued, "another important thing about the Act is that it expresses what the United States says about older people •• this is what enabled the first funding to start in the late 1960s and early 1970s when Senior Centers were being established. If this had not occurred, then we would never have had the foundation nor the dollar lever· age to build what we have today. . "The Older American Act honors senior citizens and since we are livina in a country where our greatest number1 in the next 30 yearo are going to be people over the age of 65,then the Act acknowledges.and supports that group, and that's the importance of the reauthorization," concl~ded Oliver. �. ..

While the State has increased its level of funding to address the facilities problem, it remains that the facilities problem is so immense that the State's effort _has been woefully inadequate. The 1990 Ohio Public School Facility Survey identified $10.2 billion in facility needs. That survey was requested by the State of Ohio. An update of that survey by the State Legislative Budget Office puts the facility needs in 1997 dollars at $16.5 billion. In 1990 the Building and Assistance List included 44 school districts eligible for construction funds. Eight years later the evidence shows that those projects have not yet been completed with only 14 being completed, nine in the closeout stage and nine more under construction. At the present rate of repair and replacement by the State of Ohio, it will take 55 years to meet the facility needs of our public school districts. The overcrowded schools, code violations, leaking roofs, asbestos, faulty electrical wiring and outdated labs continue.while the sta.te claims to have done "too much too quickly.'' . The overreliance on local property taxes continues to be a problem for local school districts after the · l~gislative responses to the orders of this court and the Ohio Supreme Court Due to the failure of the Legislature to even 'fund ·the base cost that they deem adequate until fiscal year 20Q2, the. inevitable result will be a continued requirement for local school districts to rely upon voters to fund their schools. .

China must learn it "cannot purchase stsbility at the eXpense of free.. dom," President Clinton told a.· San Fl'lll)Cisoo audience. But he indicated he's not yet ready to announce whether he will back such a resolution. The department's annual human . rights report, issued Friday, gives Secretary . of State Madeleine Albright more ammunition to usc when she meets with Chinese officials nexrweek during an Asian trip. "You know it is her habit to· engage in t1,1ugh talk," Assistant Secretary of State Harold Koh told a House International Relations subcommittee hearing. He said Albright would definitely bring up the subjcct. She was leaving today on a mission will also take her to Thai- • WASHINGTON (AP)- GOP Sen. Bill Frist Saturday promoted his . proposal to increase flexibility and accountability in the nation's schools, while criticizing the federal government for onerous oversight of local education. · The Education Flexibility Partnership Act, known· as "Ed-Flex," would free local schools from the burdens of bureaucracy and allow them lnstead to develop their own plans for boosting student achievement, Frist said in the weekly Republican radio address. In return, schools would he held accountable for following through on their proposals, he said. The Senate next week will consider the bill, cosponsored by Frist and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. " For too long, Washington has been part of the problem with education, enacting many well-i~tentioned programs that result in more red tape and regulation," Frist Sllid. He said Washington demands 50 percent of all paperwork from teachers and prinCipals while providing only 7 per· cent of education funding. · The, " Ed-Fiex" bill would give school districts the ability to seek waivers from education rules that are attached to federal aid. Freed from regulations they consider burdensome, local schools could instead apply the money to programs better suited to the needs of lheir students, said Frist. · · Twelve states already have "Ed·Flex" pilot programs and Frist trumpeted stories of their success. In Maryland, he said, one schoollras used the program to provide one-on-one tutoring for reading from the first through fifth grades and cut the average student-teacher ratio in math by half. "That's what education should be about: putting our students first,'' Frist said. Texas has implemented "·Ed-Flex" more broadly than any other state, and after only two years participating schools boast higher scores than other districts in reading and math on the state's achiev.ement tests, Frist said. . Democrats and Republicans have been at odds over education refonils and the extent to which the federal government should be involved. Last month, President Clinton propo~ changes that include tying more of the federal money that schools get to whether they are meeting federal goals. land and Indonesia. But Koh didn't tell the panel what members said t~ wanted ·to hear: that the United Sllles would sponsor a resolution condemning O.ina at the U.N. Human Ri&hta Commiasion's meeting next month in Geneva. "We're considering what our approach would he," he said. Koh said the administration was keenly aware of congressional sentiment. The Senate voted 99-0 on Thursday to prod Clinton to support such a resolution. The House is likely to follow suit. · Rep. Christopher Smith, R-NJ., the subcommittee chairman, said the , report shows "it's been another bad year for human rights." He told Koh that the administralion should not only sponsor the China resolution ·in Geneva, but actively promote it among other countries. He said China would heavily lean on developing nations to vote against such a measure. "It's a priority' decision for the administration," replied Koh. "I don't think we pull any punches on China: We.tell it like it is." In a speech later Friday in San Francisco to a gr. ·up of foreign poli· cy experts, Clinton suggested China's economic problems may have motivated its recent crack!~own on political dissidents. "China's · ·rate pf economic growth is declining just as it is needed to create jobs for a growing and increasingly more mobile population," Clinton said. "We can sec in China the kinds of problems a society faces when it is moving away from the rule of fear but is not yet rooted in the rule of law." "Sooner or later China will have to come to understand that society and the world we're living in ... simcannot purchase stability at the F I expense of freedom.'' Ointon sai<!. "On the other hand, we have to ask ourselves: What is the best thing to do to try to maximize the chaace that: China will take the right course?"

President Clipton said Friday that economic turmoil in Asia and else· where in the world continues "to make it difficult for American farmers and ranchers to export their goods overseas." ' "More and more farmers need loans to see them through to better times," he said. Hi~ proposal would provide $1.1 billion in direct loans or loan guarantees for an estimated 10,000 producers who can't get credit from private sources. The U.S. Departme.nt of Agriculture is running out of money to make loans because of the ~eavy demand for credit. Because of gloomy economic forecasts, many bankers are skittish about lendjng money to marginal farmers unless the government guarantees the loan. Agriculture Secretary D.an Glickman predicted this week that farmers face another year of lagging exports and low prices. USDA has lowered farm export projections to $49 billion - down from last year's $53.6 . billion. Farm income could fall at least $3 billion, according to the agency. "Without this help many farmers simply would not be able to put in their spring crops," said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D, · Meanwhile, USDA officials have come under criticism as they struggle to keep with requests from farmers for $6 billion in disaster assistance Congress·last fall.

We lost focus and made several costly turnovers. " In the early stages, Brown put Eastern up 4-0 before Holland drilled a three for a 4-3 tally.

AC~s By SAM WILSON nm11 S1ntlnll CoiTHpondent ·Will Roger Clemens be responsible for the Yan'1 kees improving on 125 wins? I don't think so, but it is difficult to pass on a five time Cy Young Award wiriner. · . The Yankees will still be the team to beat in the American League. The Rockel may even win his sixth award. But to be. honest, I wouldn't have made the .trade. I ]ust like the way David Wells caiTies himself. Oeotge Steinbrenner has wanted Clemens for quite some time. The Boss WlllJ disappointed when Roger decided to go north of the border two years ago. Now Steinbrenner has his wish. . · 'What makes this trade especially painful for Boston is that Roger is a Yankee. Red Sox fans will probably forget Mo VauJ!hn signed with ~he Allllels. Now their inferiority complex towards the Yan~ee~ has been remmod. Boston wasn 'I going to stop New York from wmnmg the Eastern Qi~ision, but now New York has Roger. . .; It doesn't matter that Roger went to the Blue Jays before being traded to ~w York:-Now that Clemens plays for the hated Yankees, all that will be ~embered is Roger, like Wade Boggs and Babe Ruth, left Boston and Clided up playing in the Bronx. , : ; tJnforlunately for the Yankees, it might have beeq more prudent to have I~ well enough alone. David Wells was 18-4 last year. He pitched a perfect. . ~e and was untouchable in the post-season. He would have won the Cy Y(jung if he hadn't spent time on the injured list. He's also a southpaw. It's . ~ wonder that Toronto got so many calls from other clubs after the trade ytas announced. They all wanted to see if Wells was available -for another move. Boomer and New York were a perfect love affair. Wells wore number 33 because of his admiration of Babe Ruth. He even.wore Babe Ruth's hat duriAg one game. He loved playing in Yankees pinstripe. He cried when manager Joe Torre told him about the trade. : Naturally it's great news for Clemens. He may finally get .that Wo~ld Series ring he covets. It's remarkable how athletes want financ1al secunty ~fore they acquire a championship. But they all want the ring. Like Charles , Bnrkley, they will even sacrifice millions in hopes of having at least '?ne last shot at a title. Clemens has now been given more than a legitimate shot. : Time is running out bn Clemens career, so Roger knew he had to go to a C(!mpetitor if he wanted to add the title of World Series champion to his • aiJComplishments. Cooperstown seems far more attainable when you have won every honor during your career, but especially if you are a member of a :~orld championship team. · . ·. The problem is that Wells is far more successful in the post-season than Clemens. Like Greg Maddux, Clemens has shown himself to be vulnerable in; October.

Until recently, I had forgotten how ·much fun it was to watch high school athletics . · For the past four years, I served as the sports information dude for the University of Rio Grande and my schedule didn't allow me to take in much high school sports action. However, this past fall Bob Hood and myself tag teamed the Gallia Academy football broadcasts · for WKOV-FM and I rediscovered the real fun of sports at the prep leveL It's not only what happens on the field or court that has rekindled my interest, but it's also the fans in the I'ANTAITIC · Quite possibly the most ,gripping drama I've witnessed over the last month was the final minutes of the Gallia Academy-Logan overtime thriller in Gallipolis. As I rolled dowq Third Avenue in the old French City after covering senior night at South Gallia, I was surprised to s~e that the capacity crowd was still in the house at the corner of Fourth Avenue and State Street. I entered the gym to find the crowd had . spilled into the lobby of .the GAHS g:ym. My view consisted of the scoreboard at,the far end of the gym and the heads and shoulders. of. players on one side of the playing floor. · However, the real treat for me was li~tening to the reaction of the Blue Devil and Chieftain fans each time their club hit a big shot or ended up on the wrong side of 'an official's call. The standing room only crowd put on as good a show as the players did on the floor and left all of its emotional energy in the gym that night. Another outstanding atmosphere locally is at Ohio Valley Christian. The Defenders' gym has been a house of horrors for the opposition this sea-. son.

William Gee was quite active in college, being a neruber of the Pedro Club, the Cutting Club, Psi Gamma Literary Society (he was an officer two years) and assistant editor of the "Mariettana" (yearbook). Gee graduated with honors in Latin , Greek, and mathematics. Cee was also quite a debater as tbe yearbook faculty · representative remarked about Gee: "Who defeated would argue still." : Gee was the valedictorian . of IJis high school class of 1891 at Lincoln High School in Gallipolis.. : On graduation day Gee gave s:uch a re~arkable speech that it was printed in its entirety in the Gallipolis Journal. In that speech Gee stated: "The Negro asks no superior advan tages on account of his color, and the Nation owes him nothing on that ground, and yet, at the same time, the Nation should deny him no advantages under the law on -account of his race identity. I will assert that the wish of the Negro is to ask n'o favors at the hand of the Nation, but simply the enforcement of the Constitution on grounds of American citizenship; and this with the education that he is rapidly acquiring, ·will make the road to high civilization both possible and probable." After college Gee did teach school for awhile, but found that he could make more money as a mail carrier. He followed this occupation in Gallipolis for more thari a decade. About WWJ Gee, his mother, sisters, and other family ,members moved to Cleveland .. William Gee was the grandson of John Gee, who was most likely born · into slavery. Much of John Gee's past is unfortunately, lost. It appears that he was bo'rn about 1798 in Cincinnati. There is one story which says that John Gee was the natural born so n of William Henry Harrison, by one of the ~ laves who worked for Harrison at Fort Washington. · In the 1790s Harriso n was in charge of that fort and it is believed that he had used slaves from his ancestral plantation of Berkeley, Virginia bbth at Fort Washington and at Vincem les, Indiana when he -became Governor of the Indian~ Territory. A liule known fact of American history was that both Harrison and Thomas Worthington (builder of the Adena mansion at Chillicothe) kept slaves in the ' Northwest Territory even though it was forbidden by the Northwest Ordinance. It is likely thai John Gee was with Harrison at Vincennes. As a young lad of about 13 Gee inay even have been at the great battle of Tippecanoe in 1811· . Gee had been trained to handle hOrses, a skill that he used later in his days in Gallipolis. By 1850 John · Gee owned a rather large farm .and his children later became some of· the fitst .persons in Gallipolis to race horses . It was some time in 1812 that Harrison gave John Gee to General Jame.s Findlay. It is likely that Gee was with Findlay as akeeper of horses in 1.813 .when Findlay built ·Fort Findlay on the Blanchard River in Northwest Ohio. · The present city of Findlay, Ohio, was named after Gen . Findlay. It appears that Gee stayed with Findlay until about 1815 . when he either ran away or was given his freedom . Gee came to Gallipolis and got employment with J.P.R. Bureau . Gee and John Casey worked for the Bureau family' for a few years until both struck off on their own . By 1822 John Gee must have been already well respected in town as he was one of the first trustees of the AME Church in Gallipolis. By his first wife , Bareaba, John Gee had several children : John Jr., Martha, Joan, Francis, Gordon and Barbara . Bareaba died in 1842 giving birth to Barbara .. Some time in the 1850s Jolm Gee married Eveline Clark Woodson. Her first husband Mr. Wood· son had died. John and Eveline had children, incl uding Lloyd Gee, the father of William Gee. John Gee was 53 years· old when Lloyd was born , John Gee died May 14, 1865. Eveline passed away in July of 1884. Ll oyd Gee and his brother Herbert made the Ohio River their life' s work as they both worked on steamboats for many years. Lloyd was. one of the Ohio River' s most respected boat stewards and it · may . have been that respect that earned hi s son William admission to prestigious Marietta College . ...;...-.;...---------- Gallia Community ••• Sunday, February 2lf ••• POINT PLEASANT, W.VA. • Narcotics Anonymous Tri • County Group meeting, 611 Viand Street, ?::30,p.m. ••• CHESHIRE - Old Kyger Freewill Baptist Church, 7p.m. God's ~mbassadors singing. ••• : KANAUGA- Free spaghetti dinner, all you can eat at AMVETS, 2 p.m. Rocky Mountain Boys to sing. .,. .' · ADDISON - Preaching service at !'f'dison Freewill Baptist Church, · 7:30p.m., with Rick Barcus preach• ~g. ,, *** · CROWN CITY • Headed Home Kings Chapel Church, 7 p.m. a( ••• •.

Bob had wanted the photos of the two former Pomeroy High School athletes to round out his huge collect ion of some 500 pictures. Mrs. Blanton is a sister of the Blackwell brothers.
