The report, "Are Ohio's Urban Youth at Risk' 1". argues that as Ohio works to reform its sc hool fundmg system under an Ohio Supreme Court mandate, urban children need more help fac ing fundamental challenges. These incl ude more poverty, crime. lead poisonin g and other negative fac tors in neighborhoods, and less ex tracurric ular oppprtuni - tics. fewe r sports programs and kwc r chances for' advanced study in s(hools.

While the report says urban schools could do more to hel p schoolchildren Jearn , it.al~o challenges the notion that suburban educators do a better job. Boyd contends the situation is so extreme in some urban districts that eve n if someone replaced urban teachers wi th suburban educators, "you don't see many dil'fe rent results."

Stanislav Gusev. desc ribed by U.S. agents as a 54ye,u·-old employee of the technical sec ti on of Moscow's SVR spy age ncy. has bee n ordered out of the ~...:ou nt ry. No w hundreds of State DepartIJlCnt and other U.S. offi cial s are hcing interviewed in an attempt to find out how and when the bug was planted. " We don't have a suspect," according to this government official, who described the hi gh)y secret investigation Thursday night on condition of anonymity. "We' re looking at and haven't eliminated any possibility." Other agents are interviewing all the participants in 50 to I00 meetings that occurred in the bugged conference room while Gusev was outside. Their goal is to determine e.actly what he might have heard. Still other agents are briefing the security officers of other federal buildings around Washington, because "we don't imagine the Russians would take this e•tremely sophisticated device and usc it for the fi rst time on such a hard target as the State D~partme nt," the government offi cial said. "This is as aggressive as you get," the offi cial said. "This was a very hold move." In vestigators doubt Gusev. who arri ved in this country in March, plan ted the bug because there is no record he ever entered the building. The Ru ssian bug was disgui sed so it would not be easily recognized, thi s offi cial said. In vestigators are tryi ng to determine whether the Ru ssians . "Someone would have had to come into the room to survey it, take measurements and probably photos and come back for the installation ... he said . The bug was a rad io transmitter that could broadcast conversati ons .from the room, but the first detectors U.S. agents used were not sensitive enough to pick up the signal. "This is obviously a very serious breach," Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters Thursday. But the earliest assessments of damage were cautiousl y mild, the government offi cial said later, because " there are other, more sensitive locations in the State Department that would have been of more value to Russian intelligence." Dave Carpenter, the State Department 's top diplomatic security official, told reponers the device was not planted in the offices of Secretary of State Madeleine Albright or any other senior official. Although Gusev was detained on a day President Clinton visited the building to hold a news conference, Assistant FBI Director Neil Gallagher told reporters there was no evidence the Russian diplomat was able to time his visits to coincide with important meetings. Based solely on the topi cs listed on State Department logs of the meetings Gusev allegedly monitored, the government official said, "The initial reaction is that he didn't gather a lot of sensiti ve infonnation, but as we catalogue what went on in those meetings, that assessment could chan ge." He added that U.S. agents did nol usc the room to stage phony conversations for Guscv's benefit. Of particul ar interest to the Russians would be anv information about American plans io amend the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty to pennit deve lopment of a U.S. mi ss ile defense system. The United States says it needs the system to protect against potential nuclear threats from Iraq and North Korea, but Russian military ofll cials believe the real target is Russia. At times, the strain s in relations between the counlries are reminiscent of the Cold War era, which ended almost I0 years ago. Last week, Russia ordered the expulsion of a U.S. diplomat in Moscow, Cheri Leberknight, after accusing her of attempting to obtain secret military information from a Russian citizen. Holder denied the U.S. move was retaliation for that. U.N. eyes weapons inspection plan UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Britain has formally introduced a broad new 'I proposal to return weapons inspectors to Iraq while offering Baghdad the possibility of suspending sanctions, capping a yearlong debate that still divides the Security Council. The draft resolution was being finali zed overnight and was expected to be di sc ~ssed further today, after the Security Council votes on a six-month extension to the U.N . humanitarian program in the country. Council members on Thursday reached agreement to extend the oil-forfood program , which allows Iraq to sell $5.2 billion in oil over six months to buy food and medicine for its people. Baghdad halted oil exports Nov. 22 after the council approved a two-week, then a one-week extension - stopgap measures pushed by the United States in a bid to speed along negotiations on the comprehe ns iv~ resolution. Iraq has since said it would resume pumping. Britain's comprehensive resolution would return weapons inspectors to Iraq, improve the functioning of the oil -for-foOd program and offer to suspend sanctions if Baghdad cooperates full y with inspectors and shows progress toward answering their remaining questions about its programs to build weapons of mass destruction. , The arms experts left last December ahead of airstrikes launched by the United States and Britain for what they said was Iraq's failure to cooperate with inspectors. Iraq has barred them from returning until the Security Council lifts the economic sanctions it imposed after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwai t. used to pay for grassroots organiZinjl. voter idcntilkation, get -out-the- vote drives and i<suc ads, though there may he less of a focus on national TV ads than in I'.196.

Conwell had made the initial contact with the Gallia County Sherifrs Office about creating a crime watch program after inci dents of home break-ins and van. dalism became more noticeable in the village and township. After meeting with sherifrs Sgt. Howard Mullins, whe serves as Crown. City's marshal, and Deputy Chad Wallace, about a dozen citizens agreed that · forming patrols in the area to detect and report suspicious activity to the sherifrs office was the best way to stem crime. Wallace, who serves as the sheriffs liaison with a simile,l crime watch program for Greeno field and Walnut townships, advised citizens that it can form patrols to become activel:f involved in the reportinf process, or take a reactive stance by meeting with deputies anlj discussing their problems.

From 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the meet· mg, ODOT will present the addttlonal mforrnation gathered thus far for the EIS. An open house will follow until 9 p.m. Attendees can look at displays ~ortland showing the different alternatives. Area residents unable to attend the Dec. 13 meeting may send comments to Deputy Director George M. Collins, Ohio Departrnenl of Transportation, 338 Mu skingum Drive, Marietta, Ohio 45750. Written comments are encouraged and will be accepted through Jan. 3, 2000. residents reaffirm concerns. One resident. who asked no.t to be idenlified, said people are afraid to speak out against the gravel company because they have family that work fur the company. He is convmced that in lime the gravel mines will ca use the community to literally wash away. Community re si dents are also talking about forming a volunteer fire department to serve the community. Portland residents attending a recent meeting voled unanimously to form a fire department. To form a fire department, the community needs a fire truck, a building and a fire chief, along with a contract wuh local government officials - townshtp trustees in this case. Residents arc envisioning a small !ire department - simil ar perhaps to tl.e nearby Bashan Volunteer Fire Department, something mostly to assist citIZens until larger departm ents amve from Racine or Ravenswood, W.Va. "Again, this IS the first we've actually tried 10 do something as a com· munity," said Beall. ument The CAC is scheduled to meet At last weekend's meeting, the Monday at 3:30 p.m. at the Meigs Rev.

He is not so daring as a candidate, repeating passages from his standard speeches whenever they fit in campaign debates with five ri vals for the GOP nomination. There will be another debate in Des Moines on Monday night. Pressed on what he would do about his proposed tax cut should budget surpluses shrink, Bush would not say. "I refuse to accept the premise that surpluses are going to decline," he replied. . In the Democratic campaign, Bill Bradley had been taking hits for saymg what he would consider if projected surpluses evaporate and undercut hiS plan for financing a $65 billion a year health care plan. He said it might require a tax increase. "I'd make a judgment at the time, " he said in an interview with The Washington Post. ''Not today." Vice President AI Gore's campaign translated in a press release: "He wants t,o pay for all this by raising taxes " .. Gore then said it was not responsible for Bradley " to propose a tax tncrease" because that is the only way to cover the cost of his health care proposal, not as a hedge against economic unknowns. Bradley said that was dishonest. ''I'm not proposing raising taxes," he said. He also said it would be irresponsible to rule it out should economic circumstances change. Gore would not foreclose the possibality: either. "Nobody has a crystal ball." the vice president said. He said he has no intention of proposing a tax increase "under current economic circumstances." Nor does anyone else in the 2000 contest. The six Republicans arc pledged against new taxes ; their debate is about rival tax cut plans. · "If you don't take a firm, hard'pledge against raising taxes, it means you'll take the first excuse to do so," Forbes said. Bush promises to veto any increase in personal or corporate tax rates, a less dramatic version of the "Read My Lips- No New Taxes" promise his father used in winning. the White House. in 1988, but could not keep. He had to renege, hiS worst mastake, he later satd, and the turnabout was among his liabilities when he lost in 1992. As the Democratic nominee in 1984, Walter F. Mondalc began by saying there would be a tax increase whether he or Ronald Reagan were elected. Mondale was right, but it was an issue against him, although no turning poant agamst Reagan, whose re-elcctaon was never in real doubt. "Mr. Reagan will raise taxes and so will!," Mondale said. "He won 't tell you. I J·ust did." . President Clinton, and Gore, campaigned in 1992 promising a tax cut for the mtddle class. In office, Clinton decided that action against deficit spendmg would have to come firs~ saying the situation was worse than he had thought. So the cut yielded to an economic plan of spending restraint and some tax increases, passed with Gore casting the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. In the age of quick response campaigning, discussing what-if opttons is a hazardous undertaking. To a~kn~wledge that an unpopular st~p may be consadered as not to advocate taking II, but close enough for a rival to make an · issue of it. All the solutions cannot always be painless. A campaign silent on what may have to be done in hard times will not tell the voters much abo~t what to expect in a crunch. (Walter R. Meara, vice president and columnlat for Tha Asaoclatacl · Preas, hie raportacl on Wuhlngton and national politics for more than 30 yeara.) By JACK ANDERSON and DOUGLAS COHN WASHINGTON - Except for the anarchists who injected v1olcnce mto the otherwise peaceful demonstra· tions, the ovcrwhelnung number uf people who came to Seattle to protest at the meeting of the World Trade Organization had a legitimate beef about the rush toward globalization. The WTO was set up five years ago as a kind of traffic cop for trade among its 135 member nation s, which include highly developed western democracies l1ke the United States and countries in Europe, but arc dominated by less developed, Third World economies. Its principal, and some would say onl y, goal is to funher reduce trade barners. When trade disputes ari se, ·they are se ttled by the WTO, which is headquartered in Geneva, by trade Construction comparisons ieties that converge at the Mn of the century. There ts no turmng bac.k when it comes to globaltzatton. Its eather nde the wave or be drowned by it. But the protests t.n Seattle should . be a lesson tn humtltty to the !tons of Wall Street and Silicon Valley who think global commerce can proceed headlong with total disregard to labor and envaronmental concerns. There has bee ~ a tremendous amount of daslocauon an the Untied States. The. famtly farm has been lost to agnbusaness: the domesttc steel tndustry IS non·cxtstent; and the corner bookstore ts go ang the way of the comer candy store. These changes are mcvttable, but they are losses t? ?,e mourned. And ,for all of C!tnton s I feel your pam' rhetortc, the govern- men! has not done a good job taking' care of people who get squeezed out. of the new economy. The message of Seattle is that the world needs some mechanism to address the concerns voiced by the protestors. Clinton predicts labor and environmental standards will be integrated into the next trade round. But after the disruptions in Seattle, the next ·trade round probably won't occur until midway through the next president's term. . · To order a signed edition of Jack Anderson's autobiography, "Peace, War & Politics " call (703) 821·3434.

It wasn't until July 23, 1942, that Martin 's parents rece ived a postcard from a wor(tan in California who told of listening to a shonwavc radio broadcast from Tokyo that named Manin as a priso~er of war. Letters he had written home from China didn't arrive until after the war, he said. During the long months of captivity in Japan, Martin said, he suff~red the mental anguish of lying in his bunk at night with too much time to think. "You really had to keep your mind blank to get through it. ' "If I would think of my mothe r's hotcakes, water would stan lo run out of my mouth," he said.

" He dropped to about 85 pounds from 160 po unds. been dropped at home. The result often is frazzled parents, confused priorities, and frustrated children. Further evidence of the modern family not working is the confusion over sexual orientation, the drug abuse tragedy, and the slip in scholas· tic performance. None of these are short·term situations and are not solvable with quick fixes. Nearly six decades ago America experienced a departure of fatbers from the home. This was in size about the same as we have today. The dif· ference is that those earlier fathers came home after the end of·World War II, but that is not happening today. Very few fathers come home and the rate of those leaving is increasing. Have you noticed that all the individual .problems that have been ere· ated by the deterioration of the tradi· tiona! family are being discussed without reference to the root cause? 1 guess we call that "being in a sljlte of denial." Worse yet, we don't even know about other problems that will crop up down the road. Who will our children be? What investment will they make in their children? One major advantage families used to have is that they "were there" for each other. That meant that whatever the need someone could take care of that need. Now. as the nation ages, fewer family members will be around to help their elders. "Early in the next century," writes Peter G. Petersen in Gray Daw11, "there will be more grandparents than grand· children in many developed countries." This aging world, he adds, "will be filled with people whose genealogical trees are all stem and no branch." We now see $47 to $75 billion a year in unpaid health-care ser· vices, with family members providing a majority of the care that older adults receive. I At the younger ages we see few· er and fewer individual adult contact hours with the children. The data on this is scary with some as little as a tenth of an hour per day. "Shut the door" and "Take out the garbage" do not count. "Pass the bread" probably wouldn't count either since eating a meal together is not in style. · Kids learn so readily by associ&· tion within the family unit. The father and the mother model, without preavhing, roles for the children when they mature. "Do as I do" works so much better with kids than "Do as I say." Many of us can remember learn· ing from our grandparents, uncles and aunts. Often kids would have opportunity to help take care of grandma, even if it was just getting a cold glass of water or reading to her. As you might expect, the governmentis trying to deal with the situation. A companion piece to welfare reform, "Fathers Count," passed the House by a vote of 328-93.1t aims to help fathers become responsible par· ents with grants for several initiatives. It is pro-marriage.lt bolsters two-parent families in poverty by providing incentives for fathers to support their children and become more attentive ·parents. It encourages a mother to be a better parent and to learn how to suppon herself rather than ·depend on ' the government. Faith-based organizations, often the only institutions left in poor . neighborhoods. can receive grants to run programs for training dads. Th\s brings opposition from NOW, the organization of some women. NOW is aggressively opposing this bill because its leadership believes it would increase domestic violence, and then some fathers' rights groups and religious organizations might get some money. The argument that all single mothers should receive ser· vices before any fathers do depicu NOW's view of gender equity. What really troubles them is that the bill is pro-marriage. While the government has severe limitations in its ability to change society for the better, at least it should not promote and finance what is not working. "Fathers Count" is no panacea. but if we believe that fathers really do count, it's a t(ny step in the right direction. Let us realize the foundation needs repair, and get about the business of doing it! (Robert Weedy Ia a · columnlat for tha Sunday Tlmea·Sentlnel.) Hillary's oblivious to all in her path . We see in Sheehy's book that such blissful ignorance by a first lady can prov.e anythtng but bltssful for her presadenttal husband. It was Hillary who hrought those troubled boys from the Rose Law Firm into the West Wing. It was Ha!lary, not Bill, whohire~ Bernard Nussbaum as the prestdent s counsel, then shared the lawyer's maladroit handling of the Clintons' ethics disasters. It was she who resisted giving Whitewater doc· uments to the press until the president had no choice but to create the inde· pendent counsel's office that would become the mousetrap for his impeachment. Perhaps as a preview of future such disasters, the author gives us Hillary's method-of-operation for warding off an unwanted crisis. In every case, her MO was first to guard herself from the truth. In the author 's title phrase, "Hillary's choice was not to kn<lw what ·she knew." Her second step was to destroy the source of the revelation. When her husband was defeated for re-election as Arkansas governor we saw her "eviscerate" the man whom voters had chosen to replace him. Rather than .accept the reality of the Gennifer Flowers affair, her ambition was to "crucify" the woman. This is the insistent Hillary Clioton story line, according to Sheehy.

Behind in the polls and facing a nasiy, resourceful rival in New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, she'll need both her state-of-the-art armor and those ferocious rocket-launchers of hers. If she's as clueless as " Hillary's Choice" suggests, even these won't be enough. • On this date in history: By The Aaaoclated Preaa . . Today is Sunday, Dec. 12, the 346th day or'l999.

My Coach told me to get an ankle support to wear, but my dad told me that wearing a brace would make my ankle weaker. Will the brace make my ankle weaker or will it give added support? Portfolio Completion class offers credit for life experience. A: In my opinion, its okay to wear the ankle brace for support if you are doing strengthing exercises for the ankle. Bracing and taping are primarily beneficial during the acute and subacute stages of healing. (6-8 weeks post injury) but should always be combined with a strengthening program program . Ask your school athletic trainer to show you some strengthening exercises for your ankles . or contact your local sports medicine professionals.

Jarvis staff vows to try again LOS ANGELES (AP)- Dozens of computers sit idle in a cavernous room where ptctures, sounds and data · from the Mars Polar Lander were to be beamed. A " Mars or Bust" sign hangs at one of many empty desks near a TV tuned to a soccer match. The room should be bustling. But the 132 scientists and engineers who .: spent years preparing the payload of . the first spacecraft sent to search for water, study the climate and analyze . the atmosphere near the Red Planet's south pole have nothing to work with. The Lander's 90-day mission on · the planet's surface was supposed to : begin Dec. 3. But it hasn't yet sent ; back a signal and probably never wtll. Many of the scientists who gath: ered at the University of California, : Los Angeles, laboratory are returning · to other pursu1ts. leaving behind a high-tech ghost tow n as they scatter ·:: like dust 10 the Manian wind. · Thei r disappointment goes beyond .: the loss of a $165 milli on spacecraft. " It's JUSt a shame to see so much good work go into no results ... said planetary sc ientist David Paige, who : also lost instruments aboard the Mars ' Observer 10 1993 and the Mars Cli. mate Orbiter in September The event had been rn the maktng : sin ce 1995, when Paogc's $22 m1llion proposal to build an integrated payload to study the polar region s of · Mars was accepted by NASA For UCLA , having the operations base could have been the biggest · newsmaker since legendary basket: ball coach John Wooden retired. The Lander mission was the first tifue the : le ad sctentists worked outside NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory dunng a Mars surface missoon. As the Lander began tts descent Dec. 3, the sc ienti sts were ready on a moment's notice to begin analyzing results from the spacecraft's camera, weather mast and robotic arm. The arm was to have dug a trench and collected samples for evidence of water, a key ingredient of life . Their spints remained high even after no signals were received in the fir st hours after the landing. Dunng each contact opponunity. they crowded near computers, munching on Lucky Charms cereal and cheen ng each other on. At one point, they held up an " MPL Phone Home" sign for NASA TV cameras. " It was like we were in a locker room,'' said postdoc toral researcher Ashwin Vasavada . "Until Tuesday, everybody kept show mg up , watching those screens for two hours." The search for a signal from the Lander is contin uing, but NASA and tt s Jet Propul sion Laboratory in Pasadena will soon launch formal in vcsugatl ons into what went wrong. NASA in vestigators m November determined that the lost Mars Climate Orbiter hurned up 10 the planet' s atmosphere because cng mcers had fatled to conven Enghsh mcasu1cs to metri c. "Some people hli\'C satd sctcnce is pushtng thin gs too hard an d we should cut back on the sc ience," Paige said " I'm not of that opinton." He and the remaoning members of hos team are already exploring opportuniti es to launch another probe to explore the south polao reg1un . MIDDLEPORT- Franklin D.

"The mishandling of classified information alleged in this indictment has, in the government's view, resulted in the senous damage 'to Important national interests," us. Attorney John Kelly said. The indictment charged Lee with offices were closed for the weekend and there was no immediate reaction to Lee's arrest. China has repeatedly denied allegations that it stole U.

The indictment satd that Lee, working in 1993 and 1994 in a Los Alamos division dealing with " the most sensitive nuclear data and information pos sessed by the United States," assembled 19 file s contain ing secret data relating to atomic · weapon research, design, construetion and testing.

But Ohio's Democratic Party chair, David Leland, said he already informed convention organizers that his state's delegates are not going to be put in that position. " I made it very clear that I don't believe any Ohio delegates should be staying in a non-union facility, " he said. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney this week issued a memo urging labor leaders nationwide to suggest that state delegations book themselves only into unionized hotels. "These are the only hotels where they can be guaranteed the workers receive the wages and benefits they need to support themselves and their familie s, " he wrote . Sweeney also pressed his troops 10 see that Democrats avoid the Los Angeles New Otani Hotel and Garden, subject of a national AFL-CIO 1 boycou. "To do otherwise would do a discredit to the value s. of the Democratic Party and to the families with mterests the party hold s dear, " Sweeney's ~emo said;,. . Sweeney s memo md1~:ated that the attentoon to umon accommodalions and the New Otani boycott was spurred by UOIIed Auto Workers presodent Stephen Yokoch and by Leland. . . A UAW spokesman saod Yok1ch was '" meetmgs 10 Gemlany and unavailable for comment. . Leland confirmed hos mvolvement'" ~nvat~ doscussoons about Los Angeles paucoty of umomzed hotels, and saod he suggested to the DNC that II use the leverage of lost profits to encourage hotel .owners to consider collecttve bargaomng. "We nee? to set an example because that s what we as a pany stand for, " he said. . Leland said the Ohio delegation $400,000 on lOdging, meals, meeting rooms and other charges at the hotel that will be its home base for five days next August. DNC convention spokeswoman Jenny Backus said the pany has been looking for ways to accommodate the unionists on accommodations. "Almost every union hotel in L.A. is already part of our room mix and we' re working through the ones that we don't have," she said. "We 'rc feeling confident that we'll be able to do as much as we can to make sure that Democrats can stay in ' union hotel rooms during the convention. ", An AFL-CIO spokesman did not ~eturn messages Thursday and Friday. At the last two Democratic National Conventions, union mcm· bers comprised 27 percent and 33 percent of the delegates- a significant segment that could turn into a significant problem if there aren't enough unionized facilities that are the right size to enable state delcga· lions to sleep under the same roof. Sara Rogers, Wi sconsin AFL -CIO executive voce president and political Sunday, December 12,1999: ' era I serious discussions" with Democratic leaders about sticking to union hotels.

The third quarter proved to be the pivotal point in the game. Miller had hung tough through the second quarter, but Southern turned up the wick offensively in the third round, unleashing a barrage of three pointers and an intensified post game. Kiser, Bolin, and point guard Kyle Norris launched three's in the drive, while Fisher and Warner popped in a couple key buckets in the paint. The result was a 19-1 I outburst that gave Southern a 54-36 advantage. Southern's perimeter defense made pene tration nearly impossible in the third quarter and forced eight Miller turnovers. Southern also moved the ball very well to hit the open man. In the final round the Southern bench made a big contribution as Jonathan Evans, Brandon Hill, and Matt Shain joined Kiser leading Southern to a 31-13 finale. Shain and Hill were both 5-6 from the line on a night where the Tornadoes canned 19-24 overall. Southern outscored Miller 50-24 in the second half.

The 86-4 vote on Thursday will require lawmakers who raise more than $10,000 to begin foling their reports electronically with the secretary of state's office by Jan . I, 2003. The bill now goes to Gov. Bob Taft. The House passed similar legislation in October for statewide officeholders but stripped the requir~ment for legislators. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Ron Amstutz, R-Wooster, urged passage Thursday, saying that delay would lend credence to cynics claiming the Legislature didn't want to deal with the issue. House Minority Leader Jack Ford, D-Toledo, said lawmakers shouldn't have separate rules for other elected officials. "What we impose on others, we should live with ourselves," Ford said. Rep.

So, what was different about Friday night's 62-47 loss to the Logan Chieftains in the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League opener for both clubs? "If we played this hard the other ;.wo games, we'd be 2-1," said River Valley boss Carl Wolfe, whose crew lost to Oak Hill three nights earlier by the same score. "I was pleased with the effort, especially on defense," Wolfe said of the Raiders, who hustled and made .four times as many steals against-the taller Chieftains as they had against Oak Hill (three). . After junior Craig Payne's layup tallied the game's first points for the Raiders (7:33), the Chieftains scored seven straight points with baskets from Jim Bennett, Johnny Conrad, ·Matt Taulbee and Joey Conrad From that point forward , Logan never looked back. ' Later in the first quarter with Logan sporting an 11-4 lead. the Jl.aiders roared back into contention with baskets from seniors Justin Holcomb. Aaron Su llivan and Steve !=onley.

The Chieftains used their height advantage - sophomore guard Ryan Swinehart was the only player they had who stood shorter than six feet - to control the boards on both ends by a 2-1 margin. Of their 32 rebounds, II were offensive. ·Taulbee's second-quarter points, which were his last of the night, put Logan's lead into the double-digit country it never left.

If nothing else, Browns-Bengals succeed as rival~ . I By JOE KAY AP Sports .Writer CINCINNATI (AP) - Separately, the Bengals and Browns have accomplished little since that overcast day two months ago when Akili Smith lobbed a game-winning pass in Cleveland and pounded his chest. Cincinnati and Cleveland have spent the last two months side-by-side at the bottom of the NFL standings, sparring for the title of Ohio's worst team. Like a Dawg chasing its tail, Cleveland (2-11) has made little progress in its epic journey from established team to expansion team and back again. Tim Couch has many more bruises than bright spots with a woeful offense. At the southern end of the stale, Cincinnati (3-10) has redefined NFL futility. The Bengals have lost 106 games, the most in this decade and tied for the most in any decade. The two teams with so much shared history have won only two games apiece since paning company in Cleveland on Oct. 10. They've spent the last two months elbowing each other for a lower standing in the league and a higher pick in the draft. A wasted year in Ohio? Not by any means. The ' Browns and the Bengals have been extremely successful at one thing: restoring one of football's best grudge matches. XLT .Auto V8 Air 87 BRONCO II 4x4 V6, 5 sp., Air, 67.000 Act.

According to Ken Tomlinson. retired Ohio Division of Wildlife Officer , the president and vice president have attorneys preparing a suit that would halt the manufacture\ of all types of handguns, and eventually make it illegal for any citizen to possess a gun. "This is a direct attack on the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, which gives every cili· zen the right to own and bear arms," said Tomlinson . " If these guys (Clinton and Gore) haH their way, a few years from now we will be in the same boat that the Germans were when Adolph Hitler ordered all of the guns confiscated in that country," said Tomlinson. "Then look what happened in Germany after that. Old Hitler turned it in.to a dictatorship." The speaker urged all members of the 'club to request that they pass the word to everyone they know, and have them contact Senator Mike DeWine. Senator George Voinovich, and Representative Ted Strickland to have congress intercede to uphold "word for word what the Second Amendment guarantees us." Mike McConndl, Gallia County's Wildlife Officer, reported that deer hunters checked in 3,092 ·animals through Gallia County checking stations last week . "This total shows a·n increase of 320 more deer over what the hunters brought in during the 1998 deer-gun season," said McConnell. C I · Addressi'n.g the s?.bject of hunter field clothing. McConnell stated, 'The hunting regulatioos pl~inly stale that ali people hunting in the woods and ftelds wear solid orange coats or vests. Just a solid orange cap or hat does not meet the regulation for hunter safe· ty." . McConnell also reviewed the law and regulations for Sunday hunting, corporate -owned lands where pub~ic hunting is permitted and stressed the law that permtts only three slugs in a deer hunting gun . . Bob Donnet told the members that a total of 52 people registered for the Hunter's Safety Class last month, whicll was taught by himself and Ed Clary. Of the 52 signed up. . "Forty-two of them passed with good scores, and the other 10 flunked the course," report.ed Donnet. Patty Oyer announced that the Raccoon Creek Association had been notified that three $300,000 grants will be granted for the continued clean-up and restora· tion of Raccoon Creek . She stated that most of the se'rious pollution from ab.ilndoned mines is on the portion known as Little Raccoon Creek, and that work is progressing in a section near Wellston where the stream was subjected to ve.r-y serious run-off from an abandoned mine "gob pile." President Steve Salisbury noted that a new slate of officers for 2000 will be elected at the January meet· ing ; and appointed a nominating committee composed of Ken Tomlinson, Patty Dyer, Louie Miller, Ralph Durst, and Odie O'Donnell to present officer candidates at .t he next meeting on Jan. 12, 2000.

The steak, cooked medium, and a glass of red wine were rare indulgences for Pincay, who has maintained a strict 850-calorie cJttily diet for the last two years, "I promised myself that," he said of the rewards. Pincay's long-planned treat came after he rode Irish Nip to a two-length victory Friday in the sixth race, breaking Bill Shoemaker's 29-year-old record of 8,833 wins. "I felt like I won the Kentucky Derby all over again," Pincay said. Pincay, 52, and Irish Nip burst out of the No. 1 post and into a slim lead along the rail. They dueled most of the way with Laps N'Bounds, who stuck his head in front briefly. Pincay tapped Irish Nip five times through the stretch and the horse inched clear. The weekday crowd of 5,855 roared as Pincay crossed the finish line first on his 44,647th career mount. He ducked his head down, raised his right arm in the air, then pumped it up and down. ''I'm going to enjoy this as long as it stands," Pincay said. Shoemaker owned the record since 1970, when he took it from Johnny Longden. Shoemaker, 68, was on hand watching Pincay,. who had lost his first three races of the day. . "He's been a credit to racing. He's ~nducled himself with dignity all through his career," Shoemaker said. "He rode in rain, hail, sleet and snow. He wouldn't take off like most jocks would. I'm very proud of him." Chris McCarron, a fellow Hall of Fame jockey, drove up in the track's present to Pincay, a new white Porsche convertible. Upon seeing the car, Pincay stuck out his tongue and pumped his right arm in the air. In the winner,.'s circle, the 5-foot-1 Pincay didn't reflect on his accomplishments. Instead, he thanked those who helped him, including his wife, Jeanine, his agent Bob Meldahl and Fred Hooper, who gave him a riding contract when he arrived in Chicago from his native Panama in 1966. Amid the post-race chaos, Pincay forgot to hang a '4' on the "Countdown to History" board that marks each of his winners. It wasn't until after his next race that he changed his number to 8,834. Typical of Pincay 's dedication, he went ahead and rode in the day's final two races after breaking the record. He finished l for 5 on the day. "I didn't want to disappoint anybody," he said. Fans wanting souvenir win tickets bet Irish Nip down to the 2-1 favorite. The 4-year-old paid $7.60 to win in the $35,000 maiden' race on the turf. Trainer Richard Mandella, who continued using Pincay when the jockey's business was slow a few years ago, gave ·Pincay a leg-up in making . historv. Pincay 's fellow riders soaked his gold silks in champagne while carry· ing him and his 6-year-old son, Jean-Laffit, on their shoulders to the scale for the post-race weigh-in. Pat Day, third on the list of winningest jockeys with 7,614 victories, rooted Pincay on from Texas, where he rode friday night. "I couldn't be happier for him," Day said. "He's a very dedicated, very disciplined, very hardworking individual. I'm very, very happy for him." Patrick Valenzuela, battling Pincay for lead in the jockey standings at Hollywood Park, also rode in the historic race. "He's been a mentor to so many riders," Valenzuela said. "Him and Shoe have both taught other jockeys so many things in their careers." Pincay tied the record Thursday with. his 8,833rd victory aboard I Be Casual. He survived a photo finish to win by a head. Pincay teamed with fellow Hall of Farner, trainer Jack Van Berg, for the tic. Shoemaker surpassed Longden for the victory record with No. 6,033 in 1970. Longden surpassed the record o( Englishman Gondon Richards in. 1956. Pincay's 35-year career includes election to racing's Hall of Fame in 1975, a 1984 Kentucky Derby victory, three Belmont Stakes victories and mounts on such great horBCs as Affirmed and John Henry. Pincay rode his first winner on May 19, 1964, aboard Huelen at Presi; dente Remon race track in his native Panama. That same year, Shoemaker rode his 5,000th winner. On friday, Pinel)' shared his achievement .with his wife, two saris, daughter, son-in-law and month-old granddaughter. His 76-year:Oid moth· er, who ignored her fear of seeing her son ride earlier in the week, was home sick.. . "He's been under a lot of pressure lately lo break this record,'' daughter Lisa Pincay said. "It's lime-to celebrate." ' .. .r•' '" ....,,.;r'(fi.'

Dogs may not make a wish list, but between burying bones and digging up flower bulbs, they do think of what Santa might drop off at their humble houses. Of course dogs, like kids, need to be as good as good can be. To help humankind's best friend achieve that goal, owners may want to consider obedience school. H's a fact, a well trained dog is a happy dog. Just ask Sherry Roberts of The Right Paw Dog Training, S~hool, locaiCd · on Orcllard·Hill -i Robcrts has been training dogs and o rs for years.

The next level is an advanced course which allows the owners to use commands in an off leash setting. Roberts' final level in an agility obstacle course for competition. · The rules for training a dog arc very simple, accor~i~g to Roberts. Owners should first remember that ·English is a foreign language for a dog. Therefore, the command.s should be ke'pt very simple • ·, one word if at all pos!!ible. And, that one word should hav~ only - one meaning. Roberts also Sllggests not giving a command you do not plan to. enforce. Repetition is the key iri training and daily prac-. lice time is important. Roberts tells owners to be firm and fair, but lavish, "a ton of ·praise" upon their dogs. Any training session should end on a good note, with a treat and more praise. 138730 24Y. w, llltlllr, Pwr- 995 •.• 5 J6 995 CD&mort 995 99 MfRCURY COUGAR Roberts recommends 15 minute training sessions every day. Patience and persis· tence in the key. "If your dog docs not learn your rules its your fault." She also says dogs need a time out · not as punishment, but as ·a way of helping the dog . know who is master. The time out session should bLdone..qui- · etly, with the owli'er keeping a foot on the lead strap giving the dog very little room for movement. During this time no toys, treats or talking is permitted. This helps the dog in the training process. Never believe, Roberts insists that an older dog cannot learn new tricks. If a dog is both mentally and physically healthy new tricks can be taught at any age. Roberts says tricks arc important for owners and pets as a stress releaser. Roberts, who owns.a Jack Russell terri· er named Jodi, thinks d11gs who lire trained make better companions. While every dog and every owner may not have their sights set On the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, training can improve the pet owner relationship.

The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. Donald Fritz and the Rev. Wi lliam Middleswarth. The bride is the daughter of Martha and Hugh McPhail of Syracuse, and the groom is the son of Jane Camden of Bidwell and Robert Farley of Point Pleasant. Music for the wedding was provided by John Anderson, organi st. The altar was decorated witli an arrangement of li ve burgundy snapdragons, white carnations tipped with burgundy, white roses and baby 's breath, and flanked by two five branch candelabra. Given in marriage by her parents, the bride was escorted to the altar by her father. She presepted a longstemmed white rose to her mother and to the mother of the groom. The bride wore a fl oor length white bridal satin gown fas hi oned with a sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice, accented with pearl and lace appliques, and long lace sleeves. The skirt and detachable cathedral length train was also accented with the appliques at the bottom.

" ! was offending everybody," the former South African president said Thursday during a health forum at the University of Washington. "In our culture, you don't talk about sex no matter wh.at you're going to say about it. It's taboo." He said the subject of AIDS must be addressed in a country of 40 mil· lion, where 4 million are infected. Mandela was the last to speak at the Global Health Forum , following short presentations by hi s wife, Graca Machel, Microsoft Corp. cofounder Bill Gates and others. Bill Gates Sr., co-chairm an of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, called Mandela and Machel " two of the world's greatest advocates for children." The two were in town for a t~re.e-day visit. The Gates foundation and the Craig and Susan McCaw Foundation today announced gifts totaling $30 million to charities founded by Mandela and Machel. The McCaw foundation, started by cell ular phone pioneer Craig McCaw and his wife. will give $7.5 million each to the Nel son Mandela Foundation and Machel 's Foundati<>n for Community Developme nt .

Gumbel is paired with Jane Clayson, a newcomer. While "The Early Show" is solidly done, it is geared more toward a younger, city-dwelling resident than its predecessor - a demographic at odds with CBS's traditional audience, Tyndall said . Journalistically, " The Early Show" is often very co mpetitive . An interview with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. 's widow on Wednesd ay trumped the show's rivals, and on Friday CBS had a live interview with the cousin of the 6-year-old boy who has sparked a custody di spute with Cuba. Early Friday, Gumbel interviewed Secretary of State Madeleine Albright about Russian spy ing in Washington . Switch the channel , though, and NBC 's Kati e Couric and ABC' s ·Gibson were each interviewing Albright at the e.act same time. ABC's interview was li ve ; the others were taped . . It was a reminder of the criticism that CBS seems more interested in matching NBC and ABC than in com in g up with a new ari( distinctive show. " I think what they've di scovered is that there were already two. good shows in the morning." said "Today" show executive producer" Jeff Zucker, "and doing a clone proba'bly isn't what the audience wants."

Directmg and starring m the IItle role, Huston makes poverty look easy and almost fun in 1967 Dublin. Sure. Agnes has trouble scraping together enough money to leed her brood, but she has plemy of cash to chain smoke and sip copious pints of Guinncss as she belts out tradihonal Insh songs wnh her tradtttonal Irish friends at the pub.

She brings to her character pride, strength and warmth . As dtrector, though , Huston ts often slow and self-mdulgent. She romanhcizes the simplicity of street ltfe, repeatedly sweeping the camera over the colorful frutts and vegetables of the outdoor market while jaunty Irish mustc plays incessantly m the background. · Sentimentality abounds and problems seem to solve themselves a hulc too quickly. When situations seem bleak, Agnes pumps up her ~tds by sayi ng, " We're the Brownes -r-ve stick 1ogether!" Money magically appears in the mail, JUSt as the loan shark is closing in to setze the family 's furmture. And Tom Jones comes to Agnes' rescue in a scene reminiscent of that " Brady Bunch" episode where Davey Jones vistts Marcta because she 's his No. I fan . There are some nice moments, though, particularly between Agnes and Marion , who share a sweet, Simple friendship. As the two stroll arm in arm along the beach, chatting easily, it's clear these women deeply care about each other. Apparently, caring is all you need in Agnes Browne's world.

It's hard not to like the notion of value-fund mvesting. Who, after all, doesn't enjoy getting something anything- at a bargain price? From coupons to flea markets to auctions, tt's almost as we have a bargain-hunting gene that makes us smile whenever we feel we've outwitted the fullprice God. On Wall Street, the same kind of thing is true for traditional value managers: They love buying the stocks of great companies at bargain-basement pnces. The thing that separates the Main Street shopper from the Wall Street one, however, is that the investment professional isn't shopping for pleasure but for purpose. And while bargam-priced stocks are oenainly around, folks haven't been rewarded much for investing in them over the last handful of years.

Peggy Kirk Hall, Ohio State University extension legal educator, stated in her October OSU Extension Agricultural Law Newsletter that the Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 971) requires each adjoining landowner to cut back brush, noxious weeds and briars within four feet of the fence and tn the fence corners. The landowner may grow trees (fruit) and vines (grapes, bittersweet) for use on the fence row, but is required to mamtain or prune the trees or vines on his/her side of the fence. If a landowner fat is to properly mamtain vegctalion on hi s or her side of 1he fence, Ohio law provtdes the adjoimng landowner with a remedy The adJommg landowner must first request that the offending landowner cut the vegetation and allow the landowner 10 days to do so. If the offending landowner -d oes not cut the vegetation, the adjoining landowner may request a viewi~g by the township trustees. The tr~stees will view the fence row and ~eter­ mine whether the vegetation should be cut. If maintenance is necessary, the trustees may hire someone to cut the vegetation. The cost of the ulling is then assessed on the offeMing landowner's tax bill. Ohio commercial vegetable and small fruit ·growers growing more than three acres are subject to the Ohio law (Section 924.09) requiring them to file a vegetable and small fruit assessment form before Dec. 31, 1999. Assessment monies are refundable to the grower if he sends in the assessment by the due date cif Dec. 31, 1999 and requests the refund within 30 days of payment.

Members of the Ohio Christmas Tree Association have arranged to send Ohio-grown trees to our troops in Bosnia and Kosovo: And elementary schools from around the state are kicking m with lots of homemade decorations. The project has been titled "Operation Evergreen." It's a small but heartfelt effort to bring our members of the military a lillie closer to home for the holidays. As you can imagine, getting t,rees from Ohio to Eastern Europe was no small task. Growers had to donate trees. The kids' ornament· making plans had to be organized. Central collection points needed to be arranged. Shipping services had to be secured. Even .the Ohio Department of Agriculture was brought in to inspect the trees before they could be exported. And of course, everything had to be coordinated with the U.S. Army. The trees and decorations, once packaged and processed, were delivered first to the Defense Distribution Depot in Pennsylvania, then Oown to a base in Ger.many, and .. finally forwarded to Bosnia and Kosovo. This is !he third year that Operation Evergreen was undenaken, and it commands a great deal of time and effort. But Christmas tree growers are no strangers to projects that take awhile. That's because growing Christmas trees is no short-term proposition. For example, !he trees that our soldiers are enjoying have taken from six to 10 years to produce. That's a long time to nurture and care for a crop. But Christmas tree growers feel the result is well wonh the effon, especially when those trees can bring a small amount of joy to our military personnel serving overseas. This Christmas, while we're safe in our homes, close to our families, let's all keep in mind that our right to celebrate the season IS just one of the many freedoms we enjoy in this great country. And let's remember that we have today's soldiers and their predecessors of the past 200 years to thank. (Jill Smith 11 the organizational director lor the AthenaGallla·Lawrenca County Farm Bureau.) Value funds need time to grow Congratulations, 1616 Eastern Ave. Gallipolis, OH Office at 992-6696. By JILL SMITH GALLIPOLIS -Most families . have their share of holiday customs, and among them are likely some traditions that deal with the Christmas tree. Maybe your family heads to the farm to cut a fresh one. Or perhaps your trip is down to the corner lot where you can pick from among the harvested firs and pines. Then of course just about every family has their stories about decorating that tree: hanging special ornaments and tangling up the twinkle lights and fighting to get that angel to stand up straight. It's unfortunate that for thousands of Americans, this Christmas. like too many before, will generate some not-so-happy memories. Their remembrances of this year will be of a Christmas away from family, away from home, of a holiday spent preserving democracy and protecting the peace in a land far, far away. For the men and women of our armed forces who are stationed abroad, this will be a year for recalling old memories, but for making new ones .Of course there's nothing that can adequately make up for a lost Christmas.

But short sputts ofpoStlt~e act tvny for value funds are nothm~ new. On more than one occaston thts year it looked as though they were going to come back from the dead. But they didn't. David Schafer, portfolio manager of the Strong Schafer Value Fund, notes that there have been a few false starts in the value arena since the fall of 1998. "We started doing better in October a year ago, and then started doing better once again in April of this year. But both of those petered out," he says. "This one now .has been going on for a little over a month, so we'll see." With a lot of years in the busmess (his investment career began in 1966) and a concentrated portfolio of 33 stoc~. Schafer knows what it's like to be both at the top and at the bot· tom of the value game. "At the end of 1997, we were one of a handful of funds that had beaten the S&P 500 for the five- and 10-year periods. . Now, with the couple of bad years wC:ve had, we're in the scrap heap." But down is not necessartly out- especially if you've ever noticed that there can be a correlation between the severity in the drop and the intensity of the rise in price. Also, look at what other companies are putting money behind value even though not the hottest fund type around: Alliance, Janus and Berger, who will all be launching value funds in the near future . . There 's even enthusiasm '" the small-cap value-fund arena. William Nasgovitz, president of Heartland Funds, a value-fund family that focuses on investing in small- and f11icro-cap value stocks, considers the valuation of small cap value stocks as ."absurdly cheap." .. · He's tellmg shareholders that . now ts an opponune ttme to add or mcrease small-cap value exposure to your portfolio." If y~ buy mto the value story, go in with eyes wide open. "You don't put money into a value fund today and expect it to pop in 10 days as we've been accustomed to on growth funds," says Steve Schoepke, vice president of research and product development • at SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. in New York. "When we're talking about value ponfolios , one certainly needs to be a long-term investor." How long is long-term? The pros say about five years.

Glimcher chief stepping down COLUMBUS (AP) The founder of mall developers Ghmcher Realty Trust is stepping down as company president. Herbert Glimcher, 70, will remain chairman and chief executive of the company. The board of directors on Wednesday elected his 31-year-old son, Michael, to replace him as president. The board had interviewed candidates from inSide and outside' the company. The younger Glimcher will lead Glimcher Realty Trust in building a six-anchor upscale mall north of Columbus that had been at the center of a battle with rival developer Richard Jacobs. Voters in November defeated a ballot initiative Jacobs backed that would have stripped Glimcher 's proposed Polaris Towne Center of tax incentives promised by Columbus officials. Michael Glimcher has been with his father's company for 10 years and was named executive vice president in March. He has been responsible for overseeing the completion Jersey Gardens, the company's new $350 million outlet mall, which opened in October m Elizabeth, N.J . Michael Glimcher said that mall has made the company one of the top 10 retail <jevelopment compames in the natiOn . The company, which went public in 1994, owns 31.9 million square feet of relail space in 127 properties in 28 states. Herbert Glimcher opened hts first mall in Heath in 1986, about20 ~ars after he moved to Columbu to expand his company, formerly ca ed Glimcher Co. ( ';' D By JAY CALDWELL GALLIPOLIS- Retirement statistics show that today's Americans are enjoying longer lives and cite inflation as retirees' greatest economtc worry. For that reason, aJixed monthly income stream may no longer be sufficient to find a satisfactory lifestyle during retirement years. To protect against inflation, the ability to grow assets and retain the purchasing power of money is essential. Based on historical performance, that's where stocks can offer an advantage. By offering a combination of capital growth and dividend incom<;, stocks otler the abihty to largely offset the erosion effects of inflation. However, there can be no assurance the specific stocks will provide this service in the future. Few investment vehicles are of a longer-term nature than an Individual Retirement ~ccount OR~). 11nd oo other' financial asset has historically offered a htgher return over the longer term than common stocks. Ibbotson Assoctates, an oft-cited research ftnn, reports that from 1926 through 1998, stocks oO'cred an annual total return, after adjusting for inflatton, of 7.9 percent compared to 2.6 percent for corporate bonds, 2.2 percent for long-term government bonds, and 0 7 percent for Treasury bills. Whether this performance will continue ts anyone 's guess. If you reinvesl dividends within your IRA, returns can be consider· ably greater. Also using Ibbotson 's figures, $1 mvested tn a broad mdex of U.S. common stocks on Jan. I, 1950 through Dec. 31, 1998 with all dividends reinvested would have grown to over $450. Remember, dividenc!_s and capital_ gains accumulate in your IRA for a gain, no tax is due on that gain until you retire and begtn dtstributtons, provided the gain is reinvested back into your IRA. Diversification, widely accepted as the best way to minimize the risk of investment and achieve reasonable returns, is ea.y to achieve with the vast arfay of stocks available among hundreds of mdustnes. Moreover, stocks can be easily liquidated to take profits or reduce losses, unlike many other investments that may lock in investors for a pantcular penod 61 time. A diverSified htgh quality portfoli o of stocks can offer the IRA mvestor both capital apprectatton and dividend income. Of course. investment decisions should be made only upon a full consideration of the parttcular financial snuauon . Consult with an investment professiol]_al about !he possibihties of equtties wHhin your portfolio.

Mason woman wins top honors BY CHARLENE HOEFUCH Sentinel News Staff OMEROY- Christmas is a season of giving, and what could be more generous than using one's talent and creativity i~ a project to benefit others. · For the past 16 years the Farmers Bank has sponsored a dress-a-doll contest for Bend-area women. They pick up naked dolls in October and return them in costuming appropriate to one of six contest categories in November.

The problems are a ~ult in part of lawmakers rushing to approve school contracts and a lack of oversight over school operations, the newspaper said. "I think it's a mistake to have the state charter these school~ and ~urn them loose with .little or no supervi- sion," said John Gilligan, a fonner Ohio governor elected to the Cincinnati Board of Education in November. The Legislature passed a law allowing charters schools in 1997 and the first contracts were awarded in July 1998. Charter schools are independent schools that receive state and federal money. They are exempt from curriculum and personnel standards, but must meet state standards in testing and attendance like tradi.tional public schools. •/ . I 177 EXIT 132 • RIPLEY: .
