REED Sentinel News Staff POMEROY -The Meigs County Department of Transportation will pursue funds 'from a state pro· gram for the replacement of a bridge, which was eliminated from the department's Issue Two applica· lion. County Engineer Robert Eason and administrative · assistant David Spencer met with the Meigs County Commissioners during their regular meeting on Wednesday to discuss fund· ing through the Ohio Public Works Commission for the project, which was recently eliminated from the highway department's Issue Two funding award. The highway department received $271,339 in grant funding for paving projects during the recently complet· ed Issue Two Round 14, but t.he bridge replacement project was eliminated. Funding may be available now from the OPWC's Small Counties program, Spencer said. The bridge to be replaced is located on Rock Springs Road, approximately 600 feet south of the intersection with Kingsbury Road. The cost of replacing the bridge has been estimated at $106,850. The commissioners approved advertising for bids for the purchase of a hydraulic excavator, or trackhoe, for use by the highway department. Bids for the trackhoe will be opened on December 20. Eason said that the equipment will be used "all the time" for ditching, culVert and· creelt"bed clearring during bridge repair projects, and other routine road maintenance work. Eason also noted that the department will begin hauling cinders for snow removal next week. In other business, the commissioners approved a number of transfers of funds for county departments, and other appropriations adjustments. The board approved transfers for the Probate Court, in the amount of $640, Juvenile Court in the amounts of $490.84, $128.40, $200, and $60.60; and County < ' Best Wishes·To ·All Our Meigs County Winter Sports Programs .

The commissioners reviewed and approved ani· mal claims submitted by Tom Deeter of Racine, for goats killed by a. roaming dog. The payment will be determined by the market value. A representative of Poynter's Best Products of Marietta met with the commis· sioners to propose the pur· chase of a new photocopier for the sheriff's department. The machine to be consid· ered would cost $4,000, which price includes a $500 trade·in consideration for the department's current machine. The commissioners took no action on the proposal. The commissioners authorized two contracts on· behalf of the Meigs County Department of Human Services. The DHS will contract with the Institute for Human Services of Columbus for a study, which will measure the impact of the department's Community Plan on child, family. and community outcomes. The contract will also provide monitor· ing services of the economic development activities funded by .the department, and will cost an estimat· ed $21!.649.25. ... , Also approved was a $7,700 contract with the law firm of Downes and Hurst for updating the department's employees' handbook. Board President Janet Howard said that the board would begin meeting with county officehold· ers and department supervisors in order to discuss departmental budget requests for FY 2000.

Still to be determined is what cost-cutting will mean to the company's 3,800 workers in Piketon, Ohio and Paducah, Ky. The .company sees a substantial gap ahead between the worldwide price for the grade of uranium used by utilities and the price it must pay for uranium extracted from old Russian warheads. USEC decided Wednesday that in the long run, backing out of the Russian buyback program would cost more than the company expects to lose to depressed market prices. William Timbers, USEC's president and chief executive officer, said the company would work to cut costs and ask Russia for lower uranium prices in the next contract. USEC asked the federal government for a $200 million sub· sidy to make up for the unanticipated profit gap, but negotia· tions over an aid package have been hung up. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson had been insisting in those talks that any federal aid be coupled with a promise to keep workers on the job. The company has said laying off more workers was under consideration despite using buyouts to trim the workforce by about 500 this year. The congressman who represents the Piketon workers said he believes that insistence was what stood in the way of a deal when talks were at their most pitched priqr to lhe congressional recess. "Although there 's an obligation to continue operating the plants (through 2004) there's no obligation to operate them ·at USEC decided Wednesday that in the long run, backing out of the Russian buyback program would cost more than the company expects to lose to depressed mllrket prices. a certain level of employment," said Rep.

Ohio (AP) House Democrats pushed to spend , ·more of Ohio's $19._1 billion in tobacco settlement money on public health. "We know that much of the targeti.ng for cigarette smoking has been done in communities of color and economically depressed areas," Rep. Peter Lawson Jones, D-Shaker Heights, said Wednes· day. "We can't accept or embrace a plan that ignores or plans to reduce !hose issues." A spending plan adopted by Gov. Bob Taft's task force proposes about $4.3 billion for public health programs. Democrats want more but didn't give·exact figures at a news conference Wednesday.

Continuing with the Russian deal will not diminish the com· mittee's interest in scrutinizing ·USEC, Bliley said: "This announcement does not mean the problem has disappeared." Bliley believes the Qinton administration should have anticipated and planned for the problems that led USEC to ask for a subsidy. He has characterized monitoring the Russian deal as an · important national security priority, since the arrangement is intended to keep highly enriched uranium - the kind used in bombs - out of the hands of terrorists or rogue nations.· USEC has maintained that it wants to continue doing busi· ness with Russia, but does not want its shareholders to subsidize national security. It is looking ahead to being locked in over the next two years to paying between $88 per unit and $91 per unit for lowenriched uranium which nuclear power plants now can buy elsewhere for just over $80 per unit. Russia has said it is willing to renegotiate the uranium sales price but not until the current contract period expires at the end of 2001. - · . 0 t999 Ohtll Vall<y Puhllsnlng Co. 1 1 l ' outings to Christian concertsandres-li·\(.!!l_S, Bible discussions, adull training and mentoring programs, tutoring, overnight and after game events, and community activities. ~he faCility is open on Friday and Saturday nights from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m . .to teenagers, 13 to 18 years old.

These include spending more money on health care in the plan's early years and making it cheaper for poor senior citizens to buy prescription medicine. In a closed meeting of House Republicans on Tuesday, "there seemed to be interest in returning to the 26·year plan," said· state Rep. Priscilla Mead, R·Columbus, vice chairwoman of the House Finance Committee. Using part of the tobacco money for a tax cut, an argument voiced by some Senate Republi cans, produced "some discussion," Mead added. She expected further debate of tax cuts.

That's bound to be said on Little League fields and in major league dugouts next year any time a c,oach or manager sees one of his players slide head first into a base. Lofton, the Indians' six-time AllStar center fielder, will likely have surgery on a tom rotator cuff in has left shoulder that could si deline him ·until next season's All-Star break. Lofton was injured whale diving mto first base dunng Game 5 of the AL playoffs against the Boston Red Sox. h was firs I believed to be a dislocation, but in the past week Lofton has been told by two doctors that he has a torn musd e and wi II need , surgery. . Cleveland was already in the mar: kct for 'orne pitching help. Now. Lofton's injury might add a center fielder, leadoff man, base stealing threat and Gold Glove winner to their shoppong hst. "This hurts . It's a setback," lndaans general manager John Hart said Wednesday. "It's a tough blow, but not a devastating one." With the Indians' blessing. Lofton, who was told by the Indians te~m orthopedist he needed surgery, got a second opanaon from renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Andrews confirmed the earlier daagnosis and also recommended surgery Lofton has not yet decided when or if to have the procedure , Hart said. "Kenny is now evaluating his options." sa1d Harl. who spoke with Lofton for a half-hour on Tuesday. ''He's really down about it. He really wants to play." Lofton IS expected to make a d~cision in the next week to 10 days, and the Indians will support whatever it is, Han said. If he has surgery, Lofton would be out for a minimum of five months and a m~Kimum of seven. "He's going to listen to his heart," Han said. "You can't force a guy to have surgery." .' While Lofton is s' ~linod, the Indians could use a plMOon·of Jacob Cruz and Dave Robe~ Iii center or sign a free agent. Amon'slhe -players currently available are Tom 'GOOdwin and Brian McRae. "We may not do anything, but we're going to look," Han said. " It's (Lofton's injury) not a full season. Fortunately, we had two guys who played there a bit last season when Kenny was out."

He got off to a great start in '99, batting .386 in April, but his production fell off dramatically in the second half. Cruz batted .330 with three home runs and 17 RBis in 88 at-bats. He was doing a nice job filling in before tearing a ligament in his right thumb sliding into second base in August Robens, who has better speed than Cruz, batted .238 with 12 RBis in 143 at-bats, and stole II bases. The Indians are also now without a closer after Mike Jackson signed a one-year. $3 million deal with Phaladelphia on Wednesday. Hart let Jackson walk because the GM has never been wilhng to pay big money for a closer, preferring a balanced bullpen instead. As for next season. Hart said he would expect the team to find ats closer on the current roster. with Paul Shuey or Steve Karsay likely to get the job. The Jaguars have a few feasons to fear the Steelers, among them: - They have the NFL's fifthranked defense . -They're trying to avoid their first sweep by Jacksonville in the five-year history of the rivalry. -Tomczak was effective, throwing for 264 yards and two touchdowns , when he entered in relief of Stewart last week m a 27 -20 loss to the Bengals . "That's a wounded animal. so you know they'll have some fire, " Jaguars receiver Keenan McCardell said. "We know we're going to have to play a complete gam,e 10 beat Pittsburgh. Nothing has changed for us. It's still Pittsburgh. We can't fall asleep on anybody down the stretch right now." . The Jaguars hold only a one-game advantage over the Tennessee Tilam with five games remaining. Any slip, and the Jaguars know they ' re on the verge of becoming a w1ld-card team I, I. I ; !.

Many ·abused husbands suffer in silence over violent behavior by wives Dear Ann Landers: The teller from "MAD." prompted me to write. She said her ex-husband was obsessive and potentially violent. can run both ways. 1"~--'",_'.w<,, an abused husband. During · 10 years of marriage; starting out on our honeymoon, my wife became more and more abusive, first verbally, then, physically. Years of counseling resulted in ,. very little improvement, Every day. . I lived in fear of her unprovoked attacks and storming rages . Finally, one night, my wife brutally beat me in front of our 7-year- ' condition of being allowed to see our daughter. 1 am .now in a wonderful, happy relationship with a gentle, mentally healthy woman. My daughter. is much happier, and is doing better in every aspect of her life. I deeply regret all the years I wasted hoping my ex-wife would change. Tell your readers that women can be abusers, too. it's time to break the silence and get out of those sick situations. And please tell us, Ami, if there are resources avaif~ie fo~; _ abused men. They needllil the help they can get. -· FINALLY' HAPPIER DAD DJ!AR-DAD: You \vere brave to write, and I thank you. fl.bused husbands are not ~s rare !IS;you think. I have heard from several over the years and printed their letters. The Domestic Violence Hotline 'helps old daughter. That was the night I decided I had had enough, and packed up and left. Why is there such silence ·about women who abuse? And why was I silent? First, I loved her, and hoped she would change. Second, I wanted to stay in the marriage to protect my daughter from my wife. Her anger was often directed at our child, too . Third, I was ashamed of myself for putting up with it. My ex-wife was ordered by the court to get therapy to deal with her severe emotional disturbance, as a abused men as well as abused hard-earned money to visit us every six weeks. My mother-in-law went back to work part-time to finance these trips. We phone each other every two days because our 3-year-old daughter and younger son have developed such a close relationship with their grandparents that they insist on hearing their voices often. My in-laws also mail cards and gifts frequently, and our children love to receive them. The whole family looks forward to the grandparents' visits liecause our children get undivided, one-onone, loving attention from them, and my husband and I are free to spend some much-needed time alone or .with our friends . It's too bad "Smothered" is so ungrateful for her in-laws · attention. Her attitude is selfish. and she is denying her children a wonderful women. For more information on local resources, please call 1-800-799SAFE ( 1-800-799-7233) or, for the hearing impaired, TrY: 1-800-7873224. P.S. It is not wimpy to seek protection from a physically abusive woman. Violence sometimes escalates to murder. Dear Ann Landers: 1 just read the letter from "Nearly Smothered in the U.S .A.." who complained that her in-laws visit every two months, call twice a week, constantly mail cards and gifts, and take up precious "family lime." I have a very similar situation, but I feel quite differently about it. Although my husband's parents live more than I ,000 miles away, they consider the family a priority, and sacrifice their weekends and '. . relationship with their grandparenJS. -- LOVED AND FORTUNATE ~ DALLAS DEAR DALLAS: Your reSJXlllo!C was a case study in what good fllll)ily relationships are all about.

Md. (AP) -What began 72 years ago with 2~ cent tamales and 15 cent cups of chili is coming In an end this evening when the last of the Hot Shoppes cafeteria-style restaurants serves its linal meal. "This is where the story ends," said Paul Noel. director of operations ftlr the Hot Shoppes Division of Marriott Services. . Noel , who began his career with Hot Shoppes as a part-time busboy 30 years ago, plans Io watch as customers and employees who have worked l!lld socialized at the restaurant for 40 years share their final meals together 111 a Hot Shoppe. ' :. JW. "Bill" and Alice Marriott started serving simple dishes at their niilcseat lunch counter in Washington .' D.C.. in 1927. Eventually they opened 100 Hot Shoppcs in II states, and built a hotel and food service empire that includes Marriott International and the Host Marriott Corp. Company offic1als say changing tastes and lifestyles scaled the fate of the company's fast food operations in 1989. "Our decision then was to -grow our hotel business." said Nicholas Hill. a spokesman for Marriott International. The company now has 1,800 hotel s and resorts, 195,000 employees and assets worth $6.3 billion . Host Marriott Corp. has 26,000 employees and $8 .1 billion in assets. Over the past decade Marriott lntcrnationnl has sold off its Roy Rogers and Bob's Big Boy restaurants, while allowing the Hot Shoppes to close one by one as leases expired. "I started out working the soda fountain and Mr. Marriott used to come and talk with me," said Grace Lashley, who started with the company in 1951. . She is one of 42 employees working at the last Hot Shoppe. a 6,000square-foot cafeteria adjacent to a 1960s-cra shopping mall. During World War II , J W.

BOSTON (API- Paul Revere asked the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to pony up 5 shillings a day to compensate for his several weeks in the saddle working to enlist recruits to fight the British. The provisional Massachusetts government agreed _to pay 4 shillings instead after patriots such as Sa~ Adams, John Adams and James Otis signed off on Re~erc 's expense account, accordmg to documents in the state archives . · In the document, a yellowed half-slip of paper, Revere billed the commonwealth for the period from April21, 1775, to May 7, 1775, a span that began three days after his fabled midnight journey. Five shillings a day would be a normal working man's .~alary, said Patrick Leehey, research director at the Paul Revere House. "Even a Revolutionary horse needs to be fed, not tQ mention Paul Revere himself," said Secretary of State William Galvin. Brandeis Professor David Hackett Fischer, author of "Paul ~evere's Ride," said Revere struggled to keep his silversmith business afloat and children fed while devoting time to the American Revolution. "There was a feeling that the entire community should share in the costs of these endeavors," Fischer told The Boston Globe. . During the period covered by the document, Revere probably was spending his time riding from town to town to raise a Revolutionary anny by carrying a letter calling for enlistment, Fischer said. Historians haven't located an expense account specifically referring to Revere's famous April· 18. 1775. ride to warn revolutionaries in Lexington and Concord of British plans. to quash rebel coloni~ts. Galvin has for years been trying to raise the money to exhthll Revere's e~pense account and other historic documents, ":hich because of their age would need special display cases. Just 'like Revere's request for 5 shillings a day. his requests have been reduced. "The Legislature has been reducing requests (for funds) for hun· dreds of years, and we can prove that," Galvin said. "The more things change • .the more they stay the same." ' .

A small pond has been under construction in a comer of the room since late September. It is Bio ll's quest to engineer and maintain a self-contained ecosystem. Other than light provided by lamps and a pump that filters the water, the pond cares for and feeds itself. A variety of·water plants pmvide food and oxygen for the fish. In return the fish provide the nutrients for the plams. It is hoped that the pond will provide a year full of experiments. Students are in the process of designing, building, and maintaining a crop area thai will work in connection with our "Own Liule World" . This flow-thmugh system will be based on a mutualislic relationship between fish and plants. It is hoped that this aquaponics experiment will continue lo ~ork throughout the year r-- ~hnson. Many who came to the emotional 90-minute serv ice on Wednesday night wore T-shins that carried the dote of the shooting and the words, "The darkness hod no victory over the light." "Thai is cxoclly what we are showing tonight, thai in spite of that, we're coming back anyway and doing the same thing," said Glen Bucy, an 18-yeor-old parishoncr. "And look how much bigger it is." Bucy narrowly escaped harm when Ashbrook 's bullets new over his head, and was brimming with emotional the gathering. "God just has so much 10 do with this tonight," he said. The service began with Jay Fan· nin, the church's youth pastor, leading the group in prayer. He said the band's return was an opponunity "to replace the negative experience with a positive experience." Recently, he said, "a lot of the kids hove come to a point to where the numb feeling is wearing off and they begin to feel something." Fannin said several Forth Wonh police officers in place at the church were there primarily for the peace of mind of the concert-goers' parents and the returning victims. "It kind of makes it seem better that we get to come back and do everything that was supposed to go on the first time, and everything was going to be ail right," said E. V. Denson, a 16-year-old church member. Armed with two pistols and a pipe bomb, Ashbrook killed seven people and injured seven others before sitting in a IX<.w and shooting himself to death - one of a stri ng of deadly shootings in public places nationwide this year. Pol.ice still don' t have a motive for Ashbrook's attack. Investigators have said they could only guess why Ashbrook. whom they temied a loner. targeted a church several miles from his house. On the Sunday after the shooting. Wedgwood members returned to their sanctuary for worship. At that time . there was only a concrete floor as the bloodstained carpel had been removed and sev'cral bullet-riddled pews were replaced by folding chairs. Since then, the carpet and pews have been replaced in the sanctuary. The only visible signs of the spree arc a few small bullet holes - one in the back of a front-row pew and the other in a projection screen over the pulpit. "You think that it would have separated us , that nobody would have wanted to come back 10 our church," Fannin said. "Instead, we have been drawn closer together as a body, as a youth group and as a family of God. "Yes, he took seven ' lives, but none of them are lost," he said. "We know exactly where they are."

Tech -Prep readies students for college work By TECH PREP STUDENTS Tech Prep is a program to help prepare students for a two or four year college degree. In the fu1ure only 15% of the work force will require a four-year college degree. Tech Prep is a hands on type of class. It prepares you for employment and a career since most graduates will need specific job training after high school to get a job.. Tech Prep prepares the students for a continuing education since in 2000 only 15% of the work force will be unskilled. It is a combination of education and industry. The integration of technical curriculum has made it possible to increase the percentage of paid working hours on a keyboard ·by 23% in the last 17 years. So far this year, the Tech Prep students have been very busy. · Sept. 7, was the first Meigs High School Tech Prep meeting for the students. At the meeting Mary Lou Moegiing the Tech Prep coordinator and Susan Rauch from Career Pathways were the speakers. Mrs. Moegling talked about the Tech Prep program and teamwork and activilles involved working in teams. Mrs. Rauch also also discussed teamwork emphasizing communication as an important part of teamwork . To prove her point, students did activities in groups where they built an object from Legos without talking to each other. The students did not accomplish much because of the lack of communication in the group. On Sept. 17. Jane Miller an Appalcorps volunteer at Washington Stale Community College came and shared Middleport, Ohio Concert celebrates church's recovery By STEPHEN HAWKINS Auoclated Preas Writer FORT WORTH, Texas - The young people were excited as Wcdgwood Baptist Church filled with live music . The audience swayed, cheered and laughed. It wasn't until the b~nd began playing "I Will Call Upon The Lord" that tears appeared. Many al Wedgwood knew the song only too well. A Christian rock .group had been playing it on Sept. 15 when a gunman burst into their sanetuary and shot seven parishioners dead. Eleven weeks later. more than 800 :people attended the concert on Wednesday to celebrate the church's ,recovery -twice the number there ·tbe night of the shooting. Forty Days, ~hich had been performing when ~rry Gene Ashbrook's shooting ttAmpage began, returned to finish its r-:rformance. .,. As the band played the song, scvpal groups of teens embraced, tears Oi>lfcaming as they sang along. " It kind of made up for that :.night. " said 15-year-old Elizabeth a demonstration about today's advanced technology. One of the many things she showed was the digital camera and printer. The camera· has a memory chip that could be put in the computer or in the digital printer. When you pul the chip in the printer, you have the option of printing out the picture as a Polaroid. She also s~owed her cell phone that h;ld around 30 different ringer t1mes' and a memory of over two hundred names and phone numbers. On Sept. 21, the day started at 5 a.m. as class members traveled to the Farm Science Review. It is held every year in London, Ohio, outside of Columbus. Once there they observed the tractors and animals, listened to talks and saw demonstrations on the work of farmers . • Our Tech Prep Coordinator, Mary Lou Moegling, met with the group to assist them in properly ·communicating with people. The activities included how to properly shake someone's hand to greet them . After that they had a learn building activity where the goal was to get everyone through a square netted rope without having two people go through the same square. It was set up like a volleyball nel but with larger squares. Students gol together and· thought of a way lo gel 10 the other side. They concluded that it would be easier to have ·the lightest people go through the lop squares. The guys lifted the girls lo lhc lop and put them through. The purpose of the activities was to show the advantages of working together as a team. · On Oct. 8, 1999, Brain Nauman, a "Just In Time" Coordinator from Walker Systems in Williamstown, W.Va. talked to the students on assembly line work He divided the students into small groups, and each group had a different job on the assembly line. With this activity, the Tech Prep students learned different ways to run an assembly line and different way to work as a group. How to be productive as a team was learned in the assembly line project. (Contributing to thue article we,.

By BRIAN J. REED Sentinel Newt Staff RUTLAND - Thanksgiving is over, the Christmas season has officially begun, and many flllililies have begun looking for the perfect Christmas tree. In choosing that perfect tree, famili es shou ld devote time and anention to both the selection and the care of the tree , and should consider basic safety guidelines to prevent a holiday tragedy. Ohio will harvest a half-million Sc otch pine, white pine, blue spruce: Douglas fir. Fraser fir, Canaan ftr and other varieties of Christmas trees , and all varieties require care in order to maintain freshness and beauty. Expens at the Ohio State University Extension Service in Columbus advise careful measurement of the space where the tree is to be positioned, and careful measurement of the tree itself at the tree farm or lot. "Trees in a choose-a nd-cut field or a tree lot always look small er than the y are," Rand y Heiligmann of the extension service said . "The last thing you want is to get the tree home and discover that the heieht. or worse yet. the width . of the tree must he reduced ." Careful con sideration of how the tree will be disp layed will also determine how good the tree needs to be. Sometimes, familie s can save money by purchas ing a tree with only two or three good sides. "Generally. the more perfect a tree is the more expensive it will be," Heiligmann said. "It makes little economic sense to pay for more quality than you can see or appreciate." Most Christmas tree varieties can last up to four weeks with little needle loss. The best way to guarantee a fresh tree i• to go to a choose-and-cut farm : and cut the . tree. If that's impossible, and the tree is purchased from a lot. it i{ important to evaluate how firmly the needles are attached to the branches. The easiest way to do that, according to Heiligmann, is to lightly grasp a branch of the tree and gently pull the branch and needles. If the tree is fresh, very few needles will come off. Other ways to check for freshness? Bend a needle between your thumb and forefinger. If the tree is fresh, the neec!; will bend, but not break. ·· Feel the tree's stump. If it is moist and sappy. the tree is fresh . If it feels dry, find another tree. Heiligmann recommends covering the tree during the 'trip home, especially If it is carried atop the car. If the tree will sit outside for any length of time, it should be placed in water in a cool. sheltered location. away from sun li ght and wind. A good rule of thumb for watering trees inside and outside, according to Heiligmann, is a quart of water per day per inch of trunk width. A tree with a two-inch diameter trunk may initially ·use two quarts of water per day. · Racine Grange, ~l~~fl2l~·'f Thursday at · the TUPPERS PLAINS - VFW Post 9053 Ladies Auxiliary, Thursday. 7:30p.m .

The water level in the tree stand should be checked at least twice a day for the first few days to see how much water the tree is absorb· ing. The water level should not be allowed to fall below the bottom of the trunk. If it does. the trunk will clog with sap in as few as four to six hours, and the tree will dry out more quickly. The tree should not be placed near a fireplace, wood stove, radia· tor o'r register. Heat dries the tree out more quickly and cause needles to drop. Sunlight will also cause the tree to dry out .

The board voted Wednesday morning to remain as agent after nine months of unsuccessfully seeking support from Congress and the Clinton administration for up to $200 million to counter its losses as agent for the Russian uranium. USEC is under contract to pay Russia to convert highly enric(Jed uranium from Soviet nuclear warheads into low-enriched uranium . USEC is the federal government's agent for the transaction, which was set up to keep Soviet-era warhead uranium away from rogue nations and terrorists. The board 's decision also takes into account Russia's willingness to .negotiate prices after the current contract expires at the end of 2001. In the current contract, USEC ispaying $88 to $91 per unit for the uranium, while the market price is around $80. USEC is scheduled to receive about 30 metric tons of the Russian material annually through 2013, which is about half of the plants' yearly market, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
