Such is the case.with our children's.education. Progress often entails uncovering the source of problems and making corrections. Such is the case in a report, releaSed in mid-July, thai documcnts many failures of the Ohio Department of Education to adequately perform its mission. II is worthy of note that The Dispatch, usually reluctant to delve into education planning matters, gave a front section spot to the AP story. How long has the disarray gone unnoticed? II must be of some huge embarrassmeiu to the majority on the Stale Board of Educaliol\ for either ignoring ·the conditions or being oblivious to them over many years.

ROBERT L WINGETT Publlaher ~Ewlna 018ne Hill Controller .Lette{s to the .~ditor Questions Sunday weigh-in ' ' In the pa•t nine years as I have lived in Meigs County, I have always appreciated the many ways this community is supportive of each other, especially the children. Many have spoken out against pornography and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy, because these areas hurt our children. When there are ball games or band competitions, many citizens in .the county are there to support the efforts of the youth. I like attending the livestock show at !he fair, as well as looking at the booths to see ·whal creative efforts the youth who are special to my life have ·accomplished. I tiave always been impressed by the diligent work of the fair board in Meigs County. I have always seen these persons give over 100 percent of their efforts to make the fair enjoyable for all of us. However, I was disappointed to find that t~is year, the fair board has chosen to begin weighin time for the livestock projects·at 7:30a.m. on Sunday morning. For a great majority of the Christian community this decision will totally interfere with Sunday morning worship services. Although we live in a country which sees worship of God as totally optional, the Scriptures and the ten commandments of Exodus 20:8 simply stales, "Remember the Sabbath by keeping it holy." This is not a Sunday optional commandment. For the Sunday worshiping community, that would mean showing respect for our families .and all persons by giving lhem an opportunity to attend the church of their choice. • .. Our churches already have to· plan activities, knowing Wednesday and Sunday evening programs are at the mercy of various competitive events, so do we have to take away Sunday morning as well? ,,, IJemember as a 4-H member inJhe county where I grew up, we pledgeil o.ur heads, hearts, hands and health to be used for "my God, my community and my country." I know God still •figures into the Girl Scout and'Boy Scout pledge5. Shouldn't we adults lead the way be showing the ex~mple by our decisions? . · I expect to attend and work at my last Meigs Cou~ty Fair as a Meigs County citizen with a lot of the joy of meeting up '!lith my friends and neighbors. I will pray for a good fair, but if we do not honor God, we will be limited in the blessings we receive. Thanks for your attention. · RIIV.

Why then, is it that ODE insists on imposing value-free sex education programs upon our children thai are "supposed to" work, when that is the specific job of the parents? How does this lack of leadership impact the local school district? All the required forms and paperwork are enough to strangle many school districts. OUr children deserve better and it is high.time that more parenllJ become aware of w~at is going on and step forward to facilitate change for the better. Another major concern is that there are "significant questions" about whether the department is ready to help .districts when statewide performance standards .kick in next year. ..Many local school districts fall below meeting a minimum of 10 of the 18 standards and ODE is supposed tel help them recover from "academic emergency" ·or "academic watch.". When they can not manage their own department, do not have the lechnolo~ gy or accurate d.ata necessary to manage their own processes, should we expec(them to intel'\lene successfully in deficient ioc'al school districts? ·As time passes, progress is l>eing made in getting al the truth about why kids are shooli ng kids · in school.

It turns out, when information is put together, that indoctri,nation in Columbine classes played a large roll in events to follow; Cli:tton says he is against a tax cut of any meaningful proportions. His reason, according to him, is because he wants to put money "aside". Of course he means ~P put some money aside for the Democrats to spend. These are the pecuniary Dem6crats. . Listen to this: 40 percent of the households in the United States pay no federal income tax: That means 60 percent of the households pay all the federal taxes. This is the reason the roof isn~ being raised for tax relief. There is a surplus of trillions, npw . and ·down the road. The reason for this is because the federal government is collecting more money than it needs. Clinton says he wants to shore up Social Security. It's hand to tell what he will dream up. > Social Security has resolved itself into the· biggest scam around. It's better to have nothing; then the financial maggots can get nothing. We are tieing taken to the cleaners l>y an ideological bunch of people who call themselves Democrats, flitting around on angel wings, Their object is to obliterate all semblance of an economically free.society.

Black bass species include smallmouth bass and largemouth bass. The proposals were presented Wednesday night at a meeting of the Ohio Wildlife Council. Citing the need to preserve the , quality of black bass fishing in Lake Erie and across the state, , the Division of Wildlife has proposed to reduce the statewide daily bag limit from eight to five fish. The wildlife agency also has proposed to increase the minimum size limit required for keeping a black ·bass taken in Lake Erie from 12 to 14 inches. "We have seen a significant increase in bass fishing pressure on Lake Erie. particularly for smallmouth bass. during the past 20 'years,'• said Gary Isbell , executive administrator of' fish management THE MAN AND HIS CATCH - Ed Swisher of Bidwell holds his and research for the Division of prize catch for the cameras before turning It over to South Carolina Wildlife. &IItie biologists, who identified It as a yellowmouth grouper and filled out paperwork necessary for lnl_l!rnational game fishing authorities to recognize it as a world·rl!c.o rd holder. that they wanted to talk to me," thin he might have a world record.

The proposed changes in fishing regulations for next year do not affect Pymatuning Lake and the Ohio Ri ver. Another proposal seeks to establish a daily bag limit of two fish per angler an.d minimum size limit of 12 inches for brown trout taken in the Mad River, Clear Fork 'River, and Clear Creek, and each or' their tributaries .

He stepped up 10 the teller and announced he would like to roll his investment over into a nel(o', one-year CD at the same rate. The teller, amused, tells the investor he is out of luck, and then points to a display that lists the bank's current CD rales - two percental'te points lower · is now the best the bank can offer. Investors are often disappointed IO find out the cur: rent interest rates are much lower than those of their . previous fixed income investments. Fortunately, however, ~ proven in.vestmenl technique is readily available to help make fhe most ,of an evolving .• · interest rate environment. Adopting a " hiddered" portfolio approach allows an ·investor to minimize . the inleresl'"rate risk that is assbciated with large, shon-term fixed income · investmentS. l_n a nutshell, this .s trategy adopts a longer-range outlook and ' diversities the maturity structure of fixed income investments to be less ' adversely affected by interest rate fluctuations. . · Structuring a ladde~ed portfolio with investments in successive maturities also allows an in~estor to achieve more flexible management of fixed income-oriented assets . The' laddered strategy can help accomplish the fol · lowing goals: . • Achieve a higher rate of ·rei urn by extending the maturities of fix ed income inves1ments. • Maintain liquidity within the p<irtfolio lhrough short-term holdings. • Minimize interest rate reinvestment risk in lower rate environments, since the higher rates are " locked in" to the longer maturities. • Provide the flexibilily to reassign short-term holdings to long~term investments during periods of higher interest rates, in order to lock in thoSI! higher rates. ' • Here are three ways that laddered fixed income portfolios can help an investor succeed in differenl interest rate environments: • Interest rates remain constant. The yield of the portfolio will increase each year because investment in longer maturities will "average up" the total return. · .. • Interest rates drop. The portfolio is protected against reinvestment risk, . because longer-term m;Uurities continue to_earn higher-rates. • Interest rates rise. As shorter maturities come due, prOc~eds are reinyested at new, higher levels, thereby improving portfolio return . The farge variely of fixed income in~estments currently available enable an investor. to choose and adjust the timing of investments within a portfo- · lio to match current and future income need/;. Of course, laddering is just oner of many investment approaches. A financial, planner or investment professional C<ln heip analyze each panicular financial situation and adopt a . strategy that is besl for .an investor 's needs.
