Educators say educational

COLUMBUS &lt;AP) - Complaint~ by urban ~~ool districts that
an Ohao law, requmng students wll()

prompt a change.
The Ohio Department of Education soon will ask Ohio's legislative
leaders to change the law -. out of
fairness to both tlle students and the
schools, said Paul Marsh aU, the
department's legislative liaison.
"If a kid has only been in this
country for six months, is it fau fo~
them to&gt;take an Enghsh exam?"
Marshall asked. "I dQn 't think (the
testing requirement) was intended to
address these children."

Schools, the state's second-largest
school system. Its non-Enghsh·
speaRing st,udent population has
swelled to about 1,500 from about
990 last school year.
It largely h..S been the result of a
large number o( Somalian refugees
fleeing civil war in their east African
homeland and moving to Columbus.
Ouled Dirye, a 10-year-old
Somali, who has been in the United
States since 1996 and m Colun;tbus

friends did~ 't understand the test
they took lhts year.

Last year, Principal Lillian
Richardson of East Lmden could

Space is becoming a problem at
the 15 schools participating in t~e
program, and a 16th school might be
added next year, Mills said.
"It's hard for the school to have
such a large number of any one

environment where the kids don 't
need to learn English as desperately," Mills satd, because they can rely
on each other for conversation.

By BARRY WI(NER
NEW YORK (AP) - He played
the game wuh such st~le and grace, 11
brought tears to the eyes. When he
left hock~y. 11 was Wayne Gretzky
who couldn'L lceep from crymg.
"It was a tough game for me
today," Gretiky satd of hts farewell
from the game he dommated for two
decades "I wanted 11 to be a celebrauon
"You know, thts ts not a passmg
on," he added, hts eyes watery for
perhaps the I OOth time Sunday
"Thts is a moving on "
It was a movmg scene as the
sport's greatest player satd goodbye
The NHL also satd goodbye to No
99, whtch commissiOner Gary
Dettman announced would never be
worn m the league agam.
"When a gentlemen told me 1n
1977 to wear thts sweater, I dtdn 't
imagme one day nobody else would
be allowed to wear 11," Gretzky sa1d
refernng to Murray (Muzz)
MacPherson, h1s coach w1th the Soo
Greyhounds of the Ontano Hockey
League.
He wore 11 w11h as much class as
any superstar m any sport Grerzky
was universally acknowledged
throughout hiS 21-year career as the
best, never was that respect more
apparent than in hts fmal game
"It's always too soon when you
see a great player relire," sa~d Mana
Lemieux. the only man ever to perfonn anywhere near Gretzky's,Jevel
"It's gmng to be very difficult for the
Natwnal Hockey League to lose the
best hockey player that ever played,
and he 's been such a great ambas·
sador for the game for 20 years "
In front of Lem1eux - who
retired for health reasons In 1997 Mark Mess1er, Glen Sather, Paul
Coffey and many more fanner teammates and opponents who revered
The Great One, Gretzky set up the
New York Rangers' only goalm a 2I defeat. Tile game ended abruptly m
overtime when Pmsburgh's Jaromir
Jagr scored, which somehow seemed
appropnale.
" Maybe It's only fitting that the

best young player m the game scored
the wmnmg goal," 'Gretzky satd
" Everyone always talks about passmg torches "
When 11 was over, Gretzky smtled
through tears dunng four final laps
of Madtson Square Garden The
greatest player ever made 11 easy for
everyone to say goodbye.
He skated slowly enough for plenty of souventr photos to be taken
Whenever he noticed a youngster 's
extended hand from the crowd, he
touched 11 He even played to the
fans , donnmg a blue Yankees hat,
then a red Rangers beret
Then, almost as suddenly as word
had come last week that he was rellrmg. No. 99 was gone
" I'm devastated I wtll no longer
be a hockey player," Gretzky, hiS
eyes sull red, satd more than an hour
~~~is_fmal skate "I w1ll mtss
every p
of the game. because I
loved every part of the game
"B ut I' ve made the nght decJ s1on "
That deciSIOn led to a Garden
pa1ty almost as energiZed as the n1ght
m 1994 when the Ran•e•s broke a
'
54-year
Stanley Cup drought
Gretzky wasn ' t on hand for that, but
Messier - st ill the most popular of
all Rangers- was
He returned Sunday to pay tnbute
to h•s buddy
"H1 s whole career has heen han died w1th complete class and d1gn•·
ty," sa1d Messier, who left the
Rangers as a free agent two yeats
ago " We've established a lnendsh1p
and a bond that' s next to brotherhood
and will be there forever."
Just as Gretzky always seemed to
be there, at the top of the sconng
charts and 1n the spothght as the
game's unofficial ambassador
After the game, the player who
shattered hockey 's most revered
records skated one lap around the
rink w1th hts teammates m tow, followed by an encore as a lone spotlight caressed htm and Carly Stmon's
" Nobody Does It Better" blared
throughout.
Perhaps the most excruc1atmg

fought the tears, occasionally looktog down at the 1ce, whtle posmg for

all wore No 99 caps.

sa1d "It's gmng to kill me not to

Sandy Alomar caught the throw
and pushed Hockmg away from the

plate.
"The key was the perfect throw
from Robbie," Sandy Alomar sa~d
"That was kind of cool. Robbte turns
and throws the ball to his brother and
the game is over. I can't remember us
even doing that as kids to end a

game."
Hockmg tried to shde in head-first
and touch the plate.
"That was flat-out stup1dtty, "
Hocking said " I can't remember the

bullpen, was brought up from TnpleA Nashville for Sunday's game

"It was a very b•g opportunity, "
Ritchie satd. "I th10k I took advan·

:.:By DAVE GOLDBERG
• -• NEW YORK (AP)- Nobody, of
course, did badly in this weekend 's
NFL draft Everyone got JUSt the
players they wanted, and everyone
· will be better next season.
Except Cleveland, wh1ch didn't
'nave a last season.
, "We were a good football team
commg in," coach M1ke Shanahan of
,the two-time Super Bowl champton
, .Denver Broncos sa1d Sunday. "We
, , got a lot more depth, we got a lot
more team speed Overall, I feel hke
it was an excellent draft."
·· Everyone else feels that way now
.- from the New Orleans Samts,
. who became the first team in .!'raft
· · 'history to have just one p1ck to the
Washington Redskms They took
. . advantage of Mtke D1tka's generosity, go! JUSt what they wanted, corner. back Champ Batley and have three
No. 1s next year
Reality?
Wan two or three )'ears.
Some strange thmgs happened,
the strangest Dnka's trade for that
wound up netting R1cky Williams
The New Orleans coach, who has
a decent defense, believes the
He1sman-wmmng runnmg back can
take a 6-1 0 team to the playoffs,
playmg the same role Walter Payton
did w1th Dllka's Ch1cago Bears 15
years ago. But all D1tka has at quarterback are career backups m the
Billy Joes (Hoben and Tolliver), and
there's very little speed at wide
receiver.
Then there were the New York
Gmnts, w1th a htstory thts decade of
'awful first-round picks and great
·ones down the draft- Jason Sehorn
and Michael Strahan (2nd round),
Charles Way (6th) and Jesste
Annstead (8th)
On Satunday, they used the 19th
' · • ~overall pick on offens1 ve hneman
: Luke Pet1tgout of Notre Dame, who
·" most scouts had as a second-rounder
; ' . Perhaps they felt they had done so
· ' well m the second round that they'd
take a second-rounder No. I.
In the fourth round on Sunday, the
iants took runnmg back Sean

Moments later, the smile on his

Early on, Andrettt looked hke he

known to want h1m and turned 11 mto
a no-lose situation to watt un11l the
fifth round to grab a back who in
three games at LSU in 1997 ran for
583-yards.
The Dolphms hope Collins can
emulate the feats of Mmnesota wide
rece1ver Randy Moss, who fell to
21st overall last season because of
off-field problems. He ended up AllPro and the offensive rookie of the
year .

Overall , tt was one of the
strangest drafts of recent years
It was only the second m NFL htstory when quarterbacks went 1-2·3
- T1m Couch of Kentucky to expansion Cleveland, Donovan McNabb to
Philadelphia (roundly booed by
Phtlly fans who wanted Williams)
and Akih Sm1th to Cincinnati.
The Bengals also drafted a quarterback Mtami's Scott Covmgton, m
the seventh round, gtvmg them six
on thm roster - Jeff Blake, Neil
O' Donnell, Paul Justm and Eric

F1ve quarterbacks were drafted 10

first- round hau l was the biggest

Marmo and Jim Kelly were among
the p1cks.
There also were 26 trades dunng
the draft, most by teams moving up
and down a few places to get a player they craved, even on a late round.
The most 10terestmg p1cks of the
second day were runn10g back Cecil
Collins by MtamJ in the fifth round,
quarterback Michael Btshop by New
England and safety Anthony
Poindexter by Baltimore m the seventh.
Collins has played five college
games, three at LSU and two at
McNeese State. He was kicked off

:What is in a name? S'On_has trouble being a 'fighting Irishman'
when he's no~
.
&lt;lnd

Dear Aan Landen: Our son has
been offered a basketball scholarship The team is called "The Fight·ing Irish." He doesn't want to accept
it because he resents the phoniness
of the team name. He said, "We are
not Irish, and I'll bet half of the guys
on the team are not Irish, either"
We think he is being foolish and
.pointed out that the majonty of the
·players on the football team at Notre
Dame (also known as "The Ftghting
·Irish") are not Irish, either. We are
gue ssing about tlii s, Ann, but it
·_ would help tf you could check this
.out and let us know if it is true. -- A

FRUStRATED DAD IN NEW
JERSEY
DEAR DAD: Names can be mi sleading, but it's a preuy good bet
that Notre Dame players Mall Brennan, Brendan Farrell, Mike Grady,
Sean Mahan, Brendan O'Connor and
Dan O'Leary ·are indeed sons of 1he
ol' sod. You can al so bet that Zak
Kustok , Tom Lopienski, Phil Sicuso,
Noah VanHook-Drucker and Jascint
Vukelich are not Irish. I hope my
research" will encourage your son to
acc ept.

Dear Ann Landers: Twentyseven years ago, my mother ahan-

newly marrie&lt;l. My four younger
siblings were rai sed by my loving
and devoted father. limes were really hard, but he kept the family
together.
My mother recently moved back
to our town. She and I want 10 treat
this as a new beginning and get to
know each other ·agam. We spend
one day a week together, talking and
shopping. Here's the problem . Mom
constantly says nasty things about
my father and tries to make him look
bad.
Ann. thi s is the man who raised

cooking and the laundry and tucked
the kids in at night. When my brother&lt; and sister&lt; were sick, he stayed
home from work to take care of
them . We never heard him say one
unkind word about our mother.
l know Mom left because she

couldn't handle the responsibility of
a family. l .no longer blame her, but I
remember how hard things were for
Dad when she left. She isn' t fooling
me with her newly minted version of

of all this is that "Duke" is only 55
and would be very attractive if I
could just get him to clean up a little.
I am a few years older than he is, but
I am not dead yet. Lying next to him
in bed at night is torture.
I know Duke is aware of my feel ings, but he continues 10 ignore me.
The \Jnly bodily contact we have is
when he gives me a quick .peck on
the cheek that is suppose&lt;! to pass for

North
tNT
Pass

Bmaon has had three famous sets
of bndge-playong odent1cal twtns.
First came Bob and Jom Sharples
They hved together in Caterham . Sur·
rey, were both bank officers, and won
countless tournaments They repre·
sented England to more than 20
Camrose matches, whtch are play ed
annually between England, Northern
Ireland, Scotland and Wales (Etre
has JUSI been readmolled.)
The Sharples twtn s were arguably
the best natural bodders ever. They
were ptoneers of the Acol system, but
added theor own refinements and
enjoyed an almost psychic rapport.
1om dted tn 1985, but as I type,
Bob os still altve , havmg had hos 90th
birthday last year Th1 s deal was
declared correctly by Jom tn the
1949 Pachabo Cup, an intercounty
event m England
No aucuon was goven , but both
North-South paors reached fo ur
spades Today, after South opens
one spade, I would expect We st to
make a takeout double . But back on
1949 . that hand would have been
deemed short of the nece ssary
requirements for acuon After hearing
a one-no-trump response. South shuts
hts eyes and btds game
'
As declarer 's thord club woll diSappear on dummy's heart ace. hts
only problem ts holdong the trump
losers to three. If the five mtss mg
card s are spluung 3-2, all plays succeed . If they are 5-0, notlung works.
Yet tf they are 4-1 , u ts three times
more ltkely that an oppo nent woll
hold a singleton honor than the s mgleton e1ght. So, Jom correctly continued with a low spade attnck two.
Then Jim used his J-1 0·9 of spades
to deal woth East 's remammg A· K-8.

�P.age 10 • The Dally Sentinel

By Alden Waitt, President
Meigs County Humane Society
Thank you for taking that abandoned kitten "off the streets
and bringing her into your home. You have turned a reje cted
waif into a compani on animal , and she will bring you as much
joy as you have . hav~ bro ught her by rescuing her.
But before the honeymoon period is over, might I suggest
that you look around the ~ouse to assess just what changes you
will be making to accommodate this newest member of your
family.
Becaus.e kittens ar,e curious creature s, they are capable of
jumping on high surfaces (one ~itten I had would perc h on the
top of seveh-foot closet doG r) and squeezing into the small est
of spaces. So to protect thi s killen , you will want to killen proof the hou se ·as soon as possible .
LIVING ROOM
·watch that you don 't close the kitten between .the door and
the storm door or shut her in a drawer. Make sure tliat al l heat·
ing and air vents have covers. Take dangling wires from lanips,
tel evisions, VCR 's, sie reos, and telephones well out of reac h.
Put away knickknacks until the killen · has the coordination
necessary ·to keep .from knocking them ove r.
Check all th ose places where your vacuum cleaner will not
go - but the kitten can - for objects such as rubber bands,
loose ihread . and dental floss (which can do a lot of damage in
the in testi nal tract ). Move house plant s, many of which are
potsonous to experimenting · cats, out of reach; don 't forget
hanging plants which make great (and dangerous) cat perches.
KITCHEN &amp; BATH
Use childproof latches to keep small paws from prying open
cabinets. Or simply box up all dangerous household items.
KeeJY 'all medications·. cl~aners , laundry supplies, and chemicals · on htgh shelves, Keep trash cans covered or inside a
latched cabinet. Check for and block any small spaces, nooks
or holes inside cabinets or behind washer and dryer units.
Always check the dryer before you turn it on. And remember
to keep all food out of reach : the wrappers can do a lot of dam age , too .
BEDROOM
Never leave .an electric blanket unattended. Keep laundry
and shoes behind closed doors. as buttons and drawstrings can
cause niaj or problems. Watch for dang Iing cords from Venetian
blinds and curtains. Keep medications, lotion anlso forth off
accessible surfaces like the bedside table. Move electrical and
phone wires out of reach of chewing.
GARAGE
Clean up all antifreeze fromthe floor and driveway, for one
taste could be fatal to a kitten . Move all chemicals to high
shelves or behmd secure doors. We ·have all heard stories of
felines who have hidden in the engine or wheel wells for .
warmth . Don 't take a chance. Bang on the car hood to make
sure no on.e is there .

Weaver's Marionette Showllme,
complete with cloggin' bees,
"celebrity personalities" and Rock
'n Roll storybook characters will
perfonn several times daily at the
Meigs County Fair, Aug. 16-12.
Showtime will be sponsored by
Rutland Bottle Gas for six shows
each day of the fair, with three ·on
the stage area, and three from the
truck on the grounds.
Debbie Watsoil, secretary of the
Meigs County Fairboard, said that .
several special events are being
planned and asked businesses to
consider sponsoring an event. She
can be contacted at 985-4372.
Of the Marionette Show~ ase. one
of the favorite acts in the show, it
was reported, is "Lil Red and The
Big Bad Wolf." "Lil Red" has an
important message· for the ch ildren
when she tells them "I never go with
strangers." Watson said that parents
will not want their children to mi ss
this important show.
Max and Barbie Weaver from
Chillicothe, fanned their puppet
production company mne years ago
and have since toured the country

from' Vennont to Florida performing
at approximately 20 eve~ts each
year.
The Weavers, with help· from
artists in the field of puppetry, have
created the fifty-plus marionet!es
and puppets now perfonning in their
show. Max manipulates the marionettes while Barbie handles the
big-mouthed · puppets. Barbie also
writes the scripts and does the
choreography.
"Captain Squid" is the ·comical
puppet emcee of the. show. He will
be taking "kids of all ages" on a sea
cruise every day with lots of singing
and dan~ing and audience participation.
A popular segment of the show is
when children exchange jokes and
stores · with "Captain Squid." Each
show is different because when you
are working live with children you
never know where the show will go
so it can be a surprise to the
Weaver 's as well as to the audience,
said Weaver.
Captain Squid also has a "Squidmobile" he will be driving around
the grounds inviting one and all to

Difficulties in providing water service in the Letart
area and a possible solution to the ·problem were discussed · by Donald Poole of Tuppers Plains-Otester
Water District when the Meigs County Commissioners
met in regular session on Monday afternoon. · ..
According to Poole, increased water use by flower
growers in the Letart and East Letart areas has caused
water pressure difficulties for an estimated 20 residential
customers in the area of the district's Mile' Hill waler
tank.
Three years ago, the commissioners funded an
improvement project in the area with Community
Development Block Grant fonnula funds, but according
to Poole, those improvements are no longer sufficient to
address the ever-increasing water needs in tho area.
Poole said that the water district plans to apply for
further CDBG funds this year so that some two miles of
eight-inch water line 1111d a new booster· pump can be
installed in an attempt to increase water pressure to customers in the area.
Installation of the new line and the booster station
will cost an estimated $322,000, according to Poole.
Poole said that the growers prefer TP-C as a water
source because of their relatively-low ·rates, and noted
Chat some water conserving steps have been t;tken by
growers, including the use of drip irrigation systems.
