That was according to the Ohio Department ofTransportation, which held a public meeting Tuesday evening at the Meigs County Senior Citizens Center in Pomeroy to discuss the upcoming replacement of the 70-plus-year-old span. Joining ODOT officials were West Virginia highway officials and the consulting firm of Sverdrup Associ· ates, Columbus. The meeting was held so area cit· izens, from both £ides of the river, could ask questions or voice concerns about the project. Approximately 50 people attended the meeting. "We want you to be satisfied with this bridge when it is built," said George Collins, deputy director of ODOT District I 0. One item discussed at the meeting was the appearance of the new bridge - what style of bridge would best fit the Pomeroy-Mason landscape ~ and still meet modern safety standards. Four styles were presented: a single-span truss, a three-span truss.tied arch, a two-span truss, and cable stayed. Although ODOT wants public input on what type of bridge will be constructed, ODOT representatives made it clear that cost will be con· sidered. io. the final decision. "We want the public input," said ODOTs Tony Durham, adding that To get a current weather report, check the ' SPONSORED BY: MASON COUNTY COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH SERVICE .

COLUMBUS (AP)- Despite the defection of four Republicans to the DemocraiS' side, the Senate narrowly approved a bill to spend Ohio's $10.1 billion in tobacco settlement money. The 17-16 passage on Thesday came as Democrats said the plan doesn't do enough for public health issues and Republicans complained that it's moving too fast and leaves taxpayers in the lurch. Sen. Eugene WatiS, R-Dublin, a Republican crossover, said Ohio could end up "mining fool's gold" because the estimated tobacco payments might not pan out. He also said it was better to con· sider the tobacco money within the Legislature's normal budget cycle. "What is the hurry?" he said. A last-minute propcsalto send the bill back to the finance committee for further work failed by an 18-15 vote. The bill creates a 12· year plan to spend about $5 billion of the tobacco settlement money, the amount .the state is expected to receive from 2000 through 2012 under the national agreement with major tobacco companies reached last year. · Saturday, 10 am ' 6 pm Sunday, Noon • 5 pm NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY Rt. 62 North, Point Pleasant, wv ~~~&--~~liit. ••.. •• •• •• • insurnnce from Auto-Owners ••• ••• •• • • •• •• •• •• . •• • fublle II lllbd 111111• , 1200 Sand load.

It will come down to what is efficient and cost effective." "I don't want anyone leaving here thinking they won't have any input on what type of bridge you're going to llave," Collins remarked, adding that preliminary construction cosiS will be drawn up on each alternative and that an additional public meeting will be held to discuss the findings. "We want the bridge to fit Into the community," he said. Meanwhile, the project is moving along. Durham said environmental work on the project has been completed and that ODOT is nearly ready to start design work on the new bridge. Durham said Ohio and West Virginia are sharing some of the costs of the new bridge. After the bridge is completed, it will be given to West Virginia to keep and maintain. The' bridge will be constructed about 125 feet downstream of Jhe existing span, he said. Joe Leindecker of Sverdrup Associates Inc., Columbus, said input from the community was constdered in the site selection process. ~'You (the·community) needed to have that bridge near its existing alignment," Durham emphasized. One factor not considered during the alignment' selection process was the construction of a Wai-Mart on the West Virginia side of the bridge. The 'srl!ft>;s,.._~ted to increase traf· fie on the existing bridg~t" · · · Leindecker said Wai·Mart has "adopted to what we had decided on neW basically without them." Will the new bridge be connected to Route 7? Not at this time, according to Durham, who said the idea was considered in the early l9(!0s. "It was considered at one time, but we're not doing it at this time," he s~id . "This is not to say it won't hap· pen in the future." Collins noted, however, that the bridge will be designed so it can be connected with Route 7 at some future date, if .deemed necessary. : Project manager Doug Briggs said the project should be awarded in June 2002, with completion around the end of 2004. The old bridge will remain open to traffic during construction and then be demolished. Ohio has set aside $25 million for construction of the bridge, which will replace the existing span which was constructed in 1927. . . Regardless of the type of span, it should be a major improvement to the old bridge. · While the existing bridge has two . 10-to-11 -foot lanes with no shoulders, the new span will have two 12foot lanes with 4-foot shoulders on each side. A 5-foot walkway will extend along one side of the bridge. Plans also include improving intersections at Railroad Street in Pomeroy, along with the installation of tu(n lanes and wider bridge approaches on both ends of the bridge. · · After discussion of the bridge, talk tilrned to the Ravenswood Connector project, which will connect U.S. 33 in Ohio to the Ohio River bridge at Ravenswood, W.Va. girts teams net:, championships ~: 1bo\jrA. -Page 5.."1 Durham said federal approval of the project's environmental documents could come any day.. A public hearing on the environmental study is tentatively set for Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. at Royal Oak Resort near Pomeroy, and final approval is anticipated in August 2000. Construction will be in three sections, with the p9rtion nearest the bridge scheduled to start in 2002, the portion near Five PoiniS to start in 2003 and the middle section in 2004, explained ODOT project manager Saleh EIDabaja. Referring to the timetable, Collins commented, "If there is one thing I've leamcd:.you C!lll'tlet the process set the dates. Yol'l have to set the dates and drive the process through."

Rutland studies deb-L . retirement options ' By BRIAN J. REED Sentinel News Staff RUTLAND - Members of Rut· land Village Council discussed applying village funds toward the retirement of the village's sewer system debt when meeting in regular sessibn on Tuesday evening. Clerk Rosemary Snowden Eskew noted, when·distributing her monthly treasurer's report, that a $23,000 payment on the debt is due in January, and that the sewer debt account has a current balance of $18,405. The village currently charges each resident $13.75 per month toward the debt payments, which amounts to approximately $4,000 per month, once interest on certificates of deposit is added to the fund. The debt is owed to the Ohio Water Development Authority, and is paid twice annually. Councilman Jay Dewhurst suggested that the village increase the monthly debt retirement charge by 40 cents a month, without increasing monthly bills. Dewhurst also recommended that council begin depositing CD interest in the replacement account in anticipation of needed repairs on grinder pumps and other equipment associated with the system, rather than placing that interest in the debt retirement fund. Insuring that funds are available for debt retirement has become .a priority for the village, because the recently completed FEMA flood hazard mitigation program elimmated a number of households ftom the system, which also reduced the amount collec.ted on a monthly basis for both operation and debt retirement. In other business, council discussed the possibility of annexing the area of State Route 124 where the Meigs Local School District plans to construct one of its three new school' buildings. - ~ The area is located JUSt ouiSide of the village limiiS . Council member Judy Denny said that the village should begin consid-· ering an annexation of the area, and Councilman Dick Fetty said thai hehad been in contact with school officials and that he thought the district would be in favor of an annexation, but that the Facemymer Lumber operation, which also owns adjoining: property, had not been contacted. Fetty said that he felt the annex~ tion would be a gesture of "good will," but also noted that it would benefit the village. If the area isannexed, the village would provide sewer services to the school, which. service would provide needed funds for operation and debt retirement. •; Plans were made for ChrisliJI$' season activities.

President ~linton immediately dehounced the measure as a "cynical tool to advance special interest tax breaks" and renewed his promise to veto it. He urged Congress ins tea(! to pass a SI-an-hour increase over two years without the large tax cuts . Veto threats notwithstanding, some Republicans viewed the package as a way to neutralize a Democratic political advantage on the minimum wage for 2000 races. Other Republicans were happy to vote for a new round of tax relief, an issue they want to · resurrect following Clinton's veto in September of the GOP's signature $792 billion tax cut. ·"This just seemed like the right combination as far as pulling Republicans together," said Sen. Pete Domenici, R·N.M. "Sooner or later, a very significant tax reduction for the American people is going to be achieved." The vote was 54-44 for the Republican measure. A few minutes earlier, the Senate had rejected, 5048 , a Democratic alternative raising the minimum wage by $1 over 13 months and providing $9.6 billion in tax relief. That measure would have also raised other taxes. If the GOP bill becomes law, the current $5 .15-an-hour minimum wage would rise by 35 cents in March 2000, by, 35 cents more in March 2001 and 30 cents in March 2002 . About I 1 million workers would be directly affected, half of them younger workers under age 24 and many of them ilolders of part-time jobs.

The recruiter 1s paid between $100 and $135 for the fake pauents they send, and Medicare is billed for alllhe lesling and equipment - real or Imagined - the patient receives. Bolh the patient and the recru1ter get a cut. bul the bulk of the Medicare/Medicaid checks goes to the crime boss Phys1cian·Ass1sted Scam: L1censed phys1c1ans simply trade therr s1gna1ures on phony med•cal records for money. Numbers-For-Sale Scam: Patients sell their Medicare or Medicaid numbers oulnght. Some of the numbers are stolen, etther through elaborate deception or from !rash bins or by hackmg mlo hospital compuler systems. • False-Front Scam: One crime group m Illinois acquired old patient bllhng mforma11on by purchasmg a med1cal laboratory, lhen subm1ned ~Ills lo the government as if the lab were s11ll up and running. Consider the example of a New Jersey man recently sentenced 10 I0 years in jail. The defendant managed a med1cal laboralory lhal paid kickbacks to clinics for every blood sample they could prov1de the lab. The climes h1red "blood brokers" that would scour the streets for addrcls or other people willing 10 donate blood for money. The New Jersey lab would then perfonn expensive lesting on lhe blood and bill the government for it, to lhe tune of $5 m1lhon. • Phony·Corporale Scam: In one example, members of cnme groups rented pnvate mailboxes. set up bogus corporations and opened pho· ny corporale bank accounts Payments from insurance companies, including government insurance, were sent to the fronl mailboxes, deposited inlo bank accounts and then laundered One Florida group filed fraudulent Medicare claims worth more than $120 m111ion and fraudulenl Medic31d claims of S1.5 million. These groups range from a lean operation of two people 10 a more expanded pyramid scheme wilh 20 thieves. And while many of lhe bands of cnme groups have long criminal histories, the Medicare lh1eves often have no criminal backgrounds at all. 111s just loo seductive, even for generally law-ab1dmg folks The General Accounting Office reported that Medicare and Medicaid are open to fraud and abuse because of lhe1r lumbenng sizes. Wh1le Medicare and Med1card pa1d out a combined $370 billion m cla1ms durmg fiscal year 1998, lhe est1ma1ed dollar amount for national health-care fraud m 1997 1s though! to have been aboul $53.9 b1lllon. Of !hat figure . But the real reason these groups and ind1viduals are so free to comm11 such crimes is 1he government's lack of overs•ght.

The art of avoiding convenation Here are five survival tips on how to keep a marriage smoking long after the fire has gone out. I. Be very qu1e1 when she's talking. If she slops talking, always wait a full minute before speaking- she may not be finished. Letters to the editor A remembrance of Washington 2 Do nol change I he subject. Even rf you 'have to speak first, you can usually figure oul what she wanls to talk about. For example, if she's trymg to clean an od stam on the kitchen floor, she probably wanls to talk about you trymg to fix lhe lawn. mower m the sink. 3 W~tch her body language. Alter whal you're saying in response to what she does. If she stops doing her n81ls and starts sharpenrng a knife, 11's t1me for you to do a 180. 4 Mamlain eye conlact If you can't see her eyes, you have no 1dea how thmgs are going. If you're workmg on the car and she asks you aboul plans for the weekend, lake the lime lo roll out on the creeper so you can see her response rather !han just yelhng, "I'm going fishing wilh Bob. I told you that last week" from under the car. Remember, she has access to heavy tools, and the lower half of your body is exposed. Always mainlain eye contact Don't have conversations in the dark, 11nd don't lalk to your wife on the telephone unless you're a professional. 5. Keep your sentences short. Five words maximum. That allows you to change quickly. If it's not going well, you can say "unless" or "but" or "whatever." Shon sentences give her a chance to talk. Which is what you want. You want the conversation to go her way. It's not aboul success ll's about survival. Gray horsepower I was drivmg into the city yesterday, and I was speedmg.

Jason Arnott scored the gamewin~er late in the second period, and Devils goalie Martin Brodeur made IS saves in a 2-1 victory over the Flyers on Tuesday night. Philadelphi a, which scored 37 goals in its previous 10 games, manage<) just one goal by John LeClair. The· Flyers' loss was just the second 1n II games after beginning the season P-5-1, the worst start in franchise history. The Devils extended their home unb¢aten streak to seven (6-0-1) and killed off five Ayers power plays. · ~They did' a great job," Devils coach Robbie Florek said of his penalty killers. "Marty made a few big :saves. That was a really good power play team we were facing. so it was huge ." · Randy McKay return ed to the New Jersey lineup fo llowing a threegame suspension and scored the first goal of the game. In the last meeting between the two clubs on Oct. 30, he was suspended for slashing Ulf Samuclsson.

" I felt fatigued at the end, but it was a hardfought game. There was a lot of physical play. I guess you should be tired." Amott, who had 27 goals last season for the Devils, had been stuck. on one goal since the second game of the season. Arnott scored when he drilled the puck between John Vanbiesbrouck's pads for the deciding goal. "I needed it really bad," Amott said. "The opportunities have been there, but they just haven't been going in. Tonight was a big relief, bu! it's just a steppingstone."

By RUSTY MILLER COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Ohio State's robust running game used to be built on the macho creed of "three yards and a ~loud of dust." When the Buckeyes run these days it's just ... dust. The Buckeyes rushed 22 times last Saturday in a IOf!sided 23-7 loss at Michigan State- and mustered a net of zero yards. It had been 34 years since an Ohio State team has been so inept. Somewhere, the late Woody Hayes must have tom up a sideline marker in disgust. "If there is one thing I am more disappointed in than anything, it's our inability to run the ball," head coach John Cooper said after his team gained all of its 79 yards and all of its meager four first downs by passing. Ohio State, 6-4 with games left against Illinois Saturday and at Michigan, is averaging 3.9 yards every time it runs the ball. Only twice in the last 31 ye~rs have the Buckeyes been held to a lower average, in 1997 and 1987 . action ... ,, 20:21.3. Jeremy Fisher finished in 25th place witli a tame of 22.45.2 Behind them were Macy Rees in 29th place with a time of 24:13.6, Gamtt Kizer in 30th place with a time of 24:22.6 and Ike Apperson in 32nd place with a time of 24:54.1. AII-TVC selections from Meigs were Stanley and Beha earning second-team honors. Hubbard was also a second-team finisher. In the girls' .division, Meigs won with 25 points. Vinton County came in second with 31. Alexander and Waterford also had girls running, but didn't qualify for team status. Leading rusller Michael Wiley picks up 73 yards a game. Only six times since Ohio State's last national championship in 1968 has its top rusher provided fewer yards. Then again, things are tough all over for the Buckeyes. It isn't as if the passing game is flourishing, either. "There are games we cbme out and we can't do wrong and there's other games we come out "and it's rough for us," quarterback Steve Bellisari said. Just a week before the debacle in East Lansing, the Buckeyes rushed for 217 yards in a41-ll rout oflowa. Bellisari said the biggest reason for the offensive failures is that opposing defenses such as Michigan State's and Penn State's are so good. But he still concedes that there is something missing. "We're a lot better than what we showed at times this last weekend," he said. The result is a daisy chain of blame.. Blame it on the offensive line, which is fortunate if it even brushes up against onrushing defenders before they level Bellisari. Blame it on Bellisari, a rookie who frequently takes too much time to pick out a receiver. Blame it on the receivers, who seldom cut their routes short to save Bellisari's neck. Finally, blame it on the runners, who haven't been able to find any daylight since the switch to standard time.. , Cooper said it's not one thing tllat prevents the Buckeyes from gaining yards on the ground. "I don't want to come up here and beat up a dead horse to death," he said, using one of his favorite malapropisms, "but it's a combination of not blocking, of not executing, of sometimes not getting in the right play." Offensive coordinator Mike Jacobs.• who is getting scorched on radio call-in shows, said the problem revolves around young players on offense and good defensive teams. "We can make up all the BS we want," he said. "But Michigan State has a good defensive ballclub and we didn't execute and get the job done."

Aaaoclated Prell Writer DECATUR, IlL -Felony charges were filed Tuesday against four high school students over a brawl at a football game that led to expulsions and brought the Rev. Jesse Jackson to town. Jackson, whose protests led officials to close Decatur's three public high schools for safety reasons for a second day on Tuesday, called the charges "attacks on these students." "It'll only make matters worse," Jackson said. "They are trying to criminalize these youths to justify themSelves." While the expelled students are all black, Jackson has sai d fairness is more at issue than race. TI1e four students were all charged with mob action. a felony. One was also charged with felony aggr:wated ballery and resisting a police officer, · a misdemeanor. Three of those charged were among six high school students expelled after the Sept. 17 fracas in the blead1crs at Eisenhower High School, which Jackson has characterized as a simple fistfi ght. but school officials called a melee. The fourth was invol ved in expulsion hearings but withdrew from school before he could be expelled. "This will not make this mallcr · bcllcr. It will on ly make it worse," Jackson said. Meanwhile, an attorney for six students involved in the fight asked a federal JUdge ito order the district to immediately reinstate them . A law· suit filed on their behalf said their exclusion from sc hool was a "gross injustice and has caused irreparable harm ." The lawsuit claims the district's zero-tolerance policy violated the students' civil rights and prevented them from getting ~ fair hearing. They claim students were not properly informed about the policy. because the school board did not publish it, and called it "arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable and oppressive." NOAA warns of violent solar activity's impact on the Earth By PAUL RECER AP Science Writer WASHINGTON- The sun will greet the new millennium by turning angry, erupting into the most active part of its 11-}ear cycle with outbuJSts of energy that can threaten satellites, electrical power and spacewalking astronauts. Officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday the approaching solar storm could be more destructive than previous cycles because the Earth has more power grids and satellites that might be affected. "There are bigger power grids, drawing more power now so the power companies are more vulnerable," said D. James Baker,.the NOAA ·administrator. · TI!ere are also 600 satellites, more than ever in history, that also might · ·be affected, said Baker. · This year, though, the power com'panies and satellite operators will be belter prepared than ever, he said. · Two satellites, operated by · NOAA. NASA and the Air Force, are positioned in orbit to warn about hazardous energy bursts from the sun. One satellite, orbiting a million ··miles from Earth. will detect a rise in );barged solar particles and give an hour's warning. Baker said that will be enough time for power companies to protect ·'their electrical grids. Satellite operators can protect orbiting equipment by turning off cir· · ·cuits to prevent shorts, by closing · ·solar panels, or by turning away from · 'the wave of energy. He said operators are also prepared for "ghost signals," ··;spurious electronic surges that may · prompt the satellite to tak.e an unexpected action. ' .Court news .

The hour 's warning also would allow spacewalking astronauts to seek the safety of the shullle or the space station. Baker said that NOAA also has created a new scale to precisely describe the intensity of solar storms. He said the new values "are the Richter scales of space weather." The scales will predict the intensity of three types of energy eruptions from the sun: geomagnetic, radiation and radio stonns. For geomagnetic storms. caused by ejections of charged masses from the corona of the sun, there is a scale of G I to G5. The strongest, G5, warns of electromagnetic energy powerful enough to knock out power grids, disable satellites and cause auroms, the so-called nonhero lights, to be visible as far south as the equa- Jackson, who brought thousands of protesters to this central Illinois farming town on Nov. 7, planned another protest rally Tuesday night at a church, and said he would lead another march on Sunday. It was not clear why State's Allorney Larry Fichter waited nearly two months to file charges and whether the other expelled students would be charged. He did not return numerous phone message~ seeking comment On Monday, Jackson met for seven hours with school officials and Gov. George Ryan , and school board members held an emergency meeting to try to resolve the situation. The expelled students, who auended Ei senhower or one of Decatur's other public high schools, were offered the chance to attend alternative school after the meeting with Ryan.

When those fine neighbors moved and this clod bought thei'r I home, it was the end of our summer haven . Now history is repeating itself.

The usual symptoms of this disorder include the involuntary loss of urine with activities lik.e laughing, coughing and physical exertion without a following urge to urinate. In women this condition is often due to excessive mobility of the lower portion of the bladder and urethra - the tube that carries urine out of the body. Frequently it develops after vaginal delivery, particularly of a baby weighing 8 or more pounds. Fortunately, stress incontinence is often curable by surgery designed to provide better support for the urethra and bladder.

The design painted by Adam Grimm, 21. of Elyria, Ohio, will become next year's federal duck stamp, which every hunter is required to buy in addition to state licenses. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Grimm was their youngest winner on record. The government does not pay the contest winners, but in the past, winning the contest has been lucrative because the artists get instant fame and the ability to sell limited-edition prints. Some champions have earned as much as $1 million from royalties on the prints. The $15 stamps also are prized by collectors. The 'Fish and Wildlife Service has posted on its Internet site the prices being charged by dealers as of last year. For single stamps, the prices ranged from $12 to $575. The stamp painted by Grimm, a student at Columbus College of Art and July Design sale I. in Columbus, goes on There were 243 entries in this year's contest. 1 • .

A cover cartoon for this week's Christian Century, a liberal Protestant , magazine friendly to ecumemsm, shows the council's New York headquarters building all but : toppling into the Hudson River. Analyst Jean Caffey Lyles wriles that iosiders wonder whether the council ."is likely to survive for very long after the ambitious celehration and, if so, in what form." On lhe conservative end uf the spectrum, leaders of the Evangelical O! ,I: I . evangelism and spirituality get little attention. . . "Our soctal Witness has been our great strength," says Campbell, citing the council's energetic efforts for civil rig)lts and against South African apartheid and the Vietnam War. Recent pronouncements from council leaders have favored universal health care, aftinnativc action, gun control, bilingual education and the nuclear test ban; and opposed the Senate trial of President Clinton, the Kosovo bombing, religious school vouchers and the economic embar· gos of Iraq and Cuba. The council's woes arc provoking some dramatic rethinking. The organization "is .a product of where the churches were 50 years ago. and times have changed," observes the Rev. Richard Hamm, president of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The council is needed. he thinks. but "instead of seeking the assistance of denominalions to fulfill its mission, it needs to help communions with their mission." Others note lhat U.S. Christianity is becoming increasingly localized.

Newspaper By CHARLENE HOEFLICH Sentinel News Staff · PoMEROY - A holiday home tour, Christmas contests, and downtilwn decorations were among the topics discussed at Wedllesday moming's meeting of the Pomeroy Merchants Association at City National Bank. . Sarah Fisher has planned the home tour, which will include eight houses decorated for the holiday season. It will take place on Dec. 4 and 5 with viewing hours from 5 to 9 p.m. People's Bank is the primary sponsor of the tour, with the Pomeroy Merchants Association to co-sponsor with advertising funds. Cost will be $5 a person to include f1,1vors and refreshments. All proceeds will go into a fund designated for flowers to be planted in downtown Pomeroy next summer. Next week, a listing of the homes on the tour will be announced. Fisher, who is beautification chairman for the Merchants Association, displayed colorful wooden four-foot Santas to be attached to some of the parking meters. These will supplement the 30 carolers in .pairs which she created last year. . She also reported on plans for detoratmg the gazebos and the stage area. Cleanup of the planting areas was discussed and plans made for a work session so that decorating of the downtown area can get underway next week. . Annie Chapman, president, reported that Gordon and Linda Fisher pf Syracuse have offered to donate 1!· large Christmas tree for the v.illage if someone wants to cut and transport it to town. She also noted that the viilage will again this year be "freeing" the parking meters for the holidays. Sarah Fisher reported that a 20-by40 iron stemwheel silhouette has been completed by GeQrge Nichols of Nichols Metals, Mason, W.Va. It is in three pieces on a flatbed near Pomeroy Village Hall waiting to be assembled and installed on a location yet to be determined, she said. Once assembled and painted, lights will be wrapped around the metal frame.Plans were announced for several contests to be held in the weeks preceding Christmas. These will include cookies and candies, table decorations, package wrapping, and handmade wooden toys. The schedule and location of the contests will be announced later. Deadline to enter each contest is the Friday morning before the contest takes place. To enter a postcard with the name, address, and telephone number of the person entering, along wit~ the cont~st being entered is to be mailed to the Pomeroy Merchants Association, Box 549, Pomeroy, Ohio 45769. Contest items are to be taken 10 the designated location on Saturday before II a.m. for judging. A firsl place award of $50 and a second place of $25 in gift certificates to be spent at participating men:hants will be awarded in each contest. In addition to those prizes in the cookie and candy contests to be held on Dec. 4, tickets to the home tour will be given in exchange for the cookies and candy to be served at the tour rcccption . Winners of the contests will be honored and presented their awards at a Pomeroy Merchants Association reception to be held at the Farmers Bank on Dec . .18. At each of the contests, the hosts will be in Victorian costume, Chapman reported. It was noted that Toney Dingess will again this year be in charge of the Christmas kickoff parade which will · form at the old Pomeroy Junior High Building at I :30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 28. Santa will arrive and give treats to the youngsters. Open house will be observed by the men:hants. · ·· · · "'I lily KIVIN KELLY OVP Newe Editor , · GALLIPOLIS - Running on a platfonn of regional economic development alid upholding traditional values, Michael Azinger has thrown his hat into the ring in a bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland, D-Lucasville, nexl year. "To win an election, you have to have a contras~ and I will draw a contrast between myself and Ted Strickland, to give people a chance to defeat Ted Slrickland and bring a real q>nservative to Congress," said Azinger, a Marietta businessman who also sought the Republican nomination in the Sixth Congressional District in 1998 . ~ A political newcomer at the time, Azinger's grassroots campaign was successful in placing him third in a five-way race for the nomination won by then-Lt. Gov. Nancy Hollister. : That encouragement; coupled with II desire to see the 14 southern Ohio counties constituting the distriCt improve economically, have prompted Azinger to again file for the GOP pri~. my firm belief that southern Ohio is an area primed and ready to be picked for economic development," Azinger said . Wednesday . when announcing his candidacy in Gallipolis. . Azinger, who pursued seminary studies in the late 1980s at HylesAnderson College in Crown Point, Ind., and later joined his father's insurance business, also said it was time to elect a . congressman "who represents values folks in southern Ohio cherish."

"The NCC is a hindrance lo the cause of Christian unity," said Methodist James Heidinger II, accusing the council of "extremely .. liberal theological and political l six years. The Catholic Churchii already belongs to such cooperativO: bodies in many other nations. : "I believe all this will result irt;, something quite new," Campbell; says atthe end of her rocky nine-year:; tenure. Ecumenism remains important "but it 'i!Ol:sn't have to exist in": this form. Unity is among us, and'nobody will be able to stop il How:: lhis expresses itself is another ques-!: lion." ~~ P0 WELL'S cam:uses in seven council denomina- Other observers say the council's woes simply reflect the decline of "Mainline Protestant" denominations such as the United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church · (U.S.A.), Episcopal Church. United Church of Christ and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). These denominations largely shape the council's agenda and pay the bills, even though most U.S. .Orthodox and African-American denominations also belong. . The Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, who retires as council general secretary Dec. 31, says of the Mainline churches: "When they catch cold, we get pneumonia." Cold symptoms hit with a vengeance last month when the Methodist church, the biggest council member, suspended further contributions to the central operating fund. The Rev. Bruce Robbins, gencl.Bl secretary of the Methodist ecumenical commission, reports that not a single church member has protested this move. Robbins says money will flow again only with "arrival at a balanced budget and a viable financial plan for the future. That requires dramatic change, and it's not easy." Major cuts in the already shrunken staff and program are essential, he says. Responding to complaints from the Methodists and.others, the council last year hired the Pappas Consulting Group of Greenwich, Conn .. to overcome what Pappas depicts as years of financial and administrative chaos. The resulting reorganization mi!Y help, but Lyles reports that the project, budgeted at $750.000, eventwilly.cost $2.5 million. Already short on cash reserves, the council is now scrambling to cover a $3.2 million operating debl for 1999 by seeking emergency gifts from member churches. ·The council wants jts respected . relief and development ·arm, Church World Service, to fork over S1.45 million toward the Pappas bill. Some critics think normal administrative overhead costs the council charges thi: agency, 6.2 pen:ent of income, ~too high. The agency's board will decide on this at Cleveland. Also during the Cleveland meet. ina. Robert Edgar, 56, a United Methodist minister ·and president of the School of Theology at ClaremOnt, Calif., will be presented Friday for election to succeed Campbell in 'the daunting post of NCC general SCCR:tary on Jan. I. He is a former DCmocratic congressman. ~ Andrew Young, 67, will be insWied ·Thuisday as president, a part-time, figurehead position. Young, who also served in Congress a~ as United Nations ambassador after gaining fame in the civil rights movement, was a United Church of Christ pastor and staffer at the council. Only 757 church members registered in advance for the Cleveland gadtering, !hough council officials had hoped for 2,000. When the council :- formally, the National Council of . the Churches of Christ in the U.S:A. - first met in Cleveland 50 years &llO. the turnout also was less than expected, but due to a monumentall>lizzard rather than lethargy.

Legi·slation cracking dOwn on· truancy approved by Senate By PAUL SOUHRADA Associated Press Writer COLUMBUS - Cutting c~sses may seem like harmless fun for some studenls, but for Sen. Robert Spada it's a stepping stone to trouble. "It may be a first step to a lifetime of unemployment, crime and incarceration," Spada warned Wednesday before the Ohio Senate approved leg· islation that could land chronic tru· ants - or their parents - in jail. Three Democrats joined majority Republicans in the 24-9 vote on a scaled-back juvenile crime bill that, in addition to cracking down on truancy, opens more juvenile records to prosecutors a.nd victims and expands the number of crimes that trigger a state law allowing DNA samples to be collected from juvenile offenders. Under Spada's bill, which now goes to the House for consideration. schools would have to develop a plan for helping habitually truant students. Parents or guardians would be rcquin:d to attend juvenile court hearings and participate in school and community service activities. If not, they could be found in comempt of court. . The penalties for contempt of court range from a maximum 30 days in jail and $250 fine for a first offense to up to 90 days and a $1 ,000 fine for three or more offenses. Students who are chronically. truant could be found delinquenl and sent to a detention center. Spada sponsored the legislation on behalf of Gov. Bob Taft, who made . a get-tough approach to juvenile crime a central theme of his 1998 campaign. Gone from Taft's original proposal, though, were some even stiffer provisions that could have put more juvenile delinquents behind bars. They were taken out in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The legislation initially established "blended" sentencing rules. Judges would have been able to sentence violent offenders to youth detention centers with lhe possibility of sending them to adult prison at the end of their juvenile time if they are disruptive at the centers. Also slripped from the bill was a provision that would have given judges the power to send youlhful offenders dire<:tly to delention centers for up to 90 days, without a lengthy sentencing process. Both ideas likely will resurface during debate on a companion juvenile crime bill pending in the judiciary committee. The Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission's proposal would give judges jurisdiclion over serious juvenile offenders until age 25 and impose adult sentences on lhosc who get into trouble in juvenile· jails. It also would lower lhe age for: committing a youth to juvenile detcn•: tion to 10 from 12. Republicans rejected an amendment from Sen. Eric Fingerhut, D- . Cleveland, that also would have held · adulis responsible if their loaded guns landed in the hands of children. Any discussion of juvenile crime· is incomplete without looking into where the juvenile offenders are get: . ting their guns, Fingerhut said. : Taft supported the idea during the · campaign but objected to having the provision tacked onto the juvenilecrime bill. The fear, said Senate President Richard Finan, R-Cincinnati, was that the bill would get , bogged down if pro- and anti-gun · control legislators used the legislation · to push 1heir .views. .... . . .., ' • ~ .. .. . . ~. -' p • ' i I ' Budget negotiators try to.nail down agreements By LAURIE KELLMAN . AIIOCIIted Prell Writer WASHINGTON- Budget negotiator$ are hopingto nail down agreements on overseas abortions and money for new programs before next week, the soonest Congress could approve a budget deal and send it to President Clinton, As lawmakers left town Wednesday night for the Veterans Day holiday, White House budget director Jack; I,.ew met with senior congressiollll' bljdget officials and emerged with agreements on part of President Clinton's plan to hire new teachers. The Clinton administration and Republicans also agreed to restore $11 billion in Medicare c~ts to hospitals and.nursing homes enacted two years ~~&o. and neared a deal to let the lnt~ational Monelliry Fund step up its debt-relief efforts. . Sen. Ted Stevens. R-Aiaska, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Cortunittee, "d negotiators were considering a smaller .version of the I percent across-the-board-cut in proposed agency spending that Congress approved last month. Unlike the GOP's earlier proposal, the White House appeared to not have immedi~ ately rejected a scaled-down version. "There's broad consensus on an awful lot of issues," but several matters still need to be worl<ed out, Lew said. "There's certainly a mood of cooperation and optimism." · But as congressional and White House bargainers met into the evening, they gave up hope of finishing in time for Congress to adjourn 'Friday. Senate Majority Leader Trent Loll, R-Miss., sent the Senate home for today's holiday and planned no votes there until at least next Wednesday. Meanwhile, Clinton signed a measure that will keep agencies functioning through Nov. 17. It was the fifth temporary spending bill since the new fiscal year began. Both sides went into the long weekend having made new progress after days of relatively stagnant talks. Negotiators agreed to a second year of Clinton's seven-year plan to hire 100,000 teachers, members of both parties said. The White House has made that proposal its highest· profile issue in this year's budget fight. Clinton had requested $1.4 billion for the ·program for fiscal 2000, which began Oct. I, and negotiators agreed to $1.325 billion. Bargainers also agreed to let school districts use 25 percent of the program's funds for teacher training and other education programs. That limit has been 15 percen~ ilnd Republicans have wanled school districts to have more flexibility in using the money. Teachers hired under the act would have to be certified, and schools with at least 10 pen:ent of uncertified teachers could request waivers to use the money for training instead of hiring.
