Senate President Richard Conservative representatives ~ye Senate seat .Bj JOHN McCARTHY Assodated Press Writer COLUMBUS - The arrival of term limits in Ohio's Legislature in 2001 has led to some creative campaigning. · . Two Republicans - Rep. Randy Gardner and Sen. Robert Latta, both of Bowling Green - are hoping to switch houses in next November's election. Gardner, the No. 2 Republican in the House, must end his 16year career in that chamber because of term limits that voters imposed in 199,;!. • Democratic Sen. Anthony Laten of Girard also is bucking the usual oider of political progression ·by seeking the House seat held by Rep. J!lne Ferderber of Mineral Ridge. Both have hit the term-limit wall. : But the race that's generated. the gi'eatest interest in the Statehouse is t~e GOP primary for the Senate seat held by Sen. Robert Cupp of Lima. li's .a battle between two conservattves: Reps. Jim Buchy of Greenville and Jim Jordan of Urbana. : The 12th Senate District in westrentral Ohio includes all of Allen, Champaign, Darke arid Mercer co.unties, plus parts of Auglaize and Miami counties and is overwhelmingly Republican. The winner of the March 7 primary will be the odds-on favorite to win the general election. Both Buchy (pronounced BEEK' -ee) and Jordan claim strong conservative credentials and have worked together on such issues as tax cuts and school funding. But there are differenGes. Buchy, a state representative from Greenville since 1983, is in his third term in House leadership and currently is the assistant majority floor leader. Jordan, who could serve one more term in the House, often is on his own or aligns himself with the House's most conservative wing on issues like gun control or education choice. It's clear that Buchy is the choice of the GOP establishment. At a fundraiser for Buchy in Allen County this fall, the Republican elite was on hand, including Gov. Bob Taft, Sen. ate President Richard Finan and House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson. Jordan wasn't surprised. "The leadership would prefer someone who wou ld follow what they tell them to do. I'm 'going to fight for the things I told the voters I'm going to fight for, " said Jordan , of Urbana.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R·Urbana people, moms and dads." Buchy said he won't be playing follow-the-leader if he 's elected. He said the chief difference between himself and ·Jordan is one of style and· that he has used his leadership position to advance conservative causes, including those embraced by . Jordan. "While I'm a member of leader- . ship and understand the importance of teamwork, I also still have convictions that relate to my district that · show an independence when necessary," Buchy said. Jordan doesn 'I dispute Buchy 's commitment, but he said he's been much more active in promoting his causes. "It's matter of intensity. He might vote the right way, but I'm the guy on the floor. I was the guy willing to take the heat," Jordan said. Buchy responded that he has known in Columbus for suing the Legislature and its leaders - including Davidson -when a House-Senate conference committee deleted a $30,000 grant for the .Geauga County Airport after Diane Grendell voted against the budget on the House floor. Tim Grendell said the leaders were punishing his wife for her vole. The leaders denieil it and the Ohio Supreme Court ruled against him. As one of four candidates considering a run for the office, Grendell doesn't expect to be embraced by the Columbus GOP establishment. He said he wants lawmakers to stick to lawmaking and not play political games. " What people in Columbus think . about what 's happening in Geauga and Trumbull counties is irrelevant," Tim Grendell said. " In the last seven years I' ve known this district up and down." Should any of the conservatives emerge from the primaries as the candidate, that's fine with House Minority Leader Jack Ford, a Toledo Democrat who wants to pick up two or three seats in November. "I think the more centrist you arc in Ohio politics, the more likely you are to get elected," Ford said. David Zanotti, president of the suburban Cleveland-based Ohio Roundtable and one of the primary forces behind the term limits amendment, said the power of'leadership is beginning to slip. He sees the coming races' as th.e firs! fruit of !he voters' wishes. "The hourglass has tipped and the las! sands are flowing out with this leadership. I do,n 't know if it (leadership backing) will have any impact whatsoever, " Zanotti said. Even though Davidson said she will stay out of the primaries, leaders have other ways of influencing elections, especially when it comes to recruiting, said John Green, director of the University of Akron's Bliss Institute for Applied Politics. " My sense is that both parties are very heavily involved in these recruiting efforts. Sometimes it's to gel the best candidate, other times · it 's to keep candidates from running," Green said. And Ford, who has survived frequent skirmishes with Davidson, also has advice for those who believe the GOP primaries will be a free-for-all. " I think she' ll do whatever she needs to do to. I don't think anyone should underestimate her skills as a strategist. I don 't. " said Cooksey, who added her group has " thousands" of members but declined to be more specific.

That's how many lawmakers have completed at least four full, four-year terms and cannot serve in the. session that begins in January 2001. Twenty-three of those seats belong to majority Republicans. In the Senate, seven seals - six of them Republican - will become open because their occupants are ruqJting for other ·offices or have completed at least two full four-year terms since 1992, when voters overwhelmingly placed those restrictions on how long lawmakers may serve. (The numbers could decline before the Jan. 7 filing deadline for the March 7 primary if term-limited lawmakers resign so their scats can be tilled with someone whose term limit clock starts anew.)

Lovelace. The fatal June 15, 1997, crash would not have occurred if he had obeyed a police order to stop, the judges said. Lovelace was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for causing the death of a suburban Cincinnati man, Michael Tenhundfeld, 18. Lovelace, now 28, was sentenced to 13 years in prison, including a year for a 1996 drug conviction. Defense lawyer Kenneth Lawson said he will ask the Ohio Supreme Coon next week to consider reviewing Friday's decision. Lawson had argued that another Ohio appeals court, for Lucas County, in 1997 threw out an involuntary manslaughter conviction that resulted from a police chase. In thai case, a police officer - instead of following the same street as the driver being chased·took another street, ran a red light and struck a car, killing a 9-year-old girl. The Lucas County appellate coun ruled that the defendant could not be held responsible for actions ·of an officer who failed to yield the right of way at the periphery of the pursuit. Cleveland offers Goodrich Incentives CLEVELAND (AP)- With a 10-year, 75 percent tax abatement and some state assistance, the city has persuaded BFGoodrich Co. to keep its landing gear plant up and running. The abatement will apply to plant improvements such as new equipment, according to Chris Warren, Cleveland director of eConomic development. The fate of the plant, with makes aircraft landing components mostly for Boeing Co., had been in doubt this year after Goodrich merged with Coltec Industries Inc.

COLUMBUS (AP) - A nearly 4 percent increase in the number of welfare recipients in Ohio in the past two months may be a sign that the historic decline in welfare case· loads may be over. The number of welfare recipi· ents has declined 40 percent since the state enacted welfare reforms two years ago. "There have always been people coming on. The decline previously has simply been because there have been more people moving off, but we might be at a point where we are leveling off," Jon Allen, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Human Services, told The Columbus Dis· patch for a story Saturday. "Nobody expected it to drop the 20 percent or so a year as it has recently." Despite the increase, caseloads remain at their lowest level since 1969. Observers attribute a strong economy along with the reforms. With sorrie exceptions, the reforms limit benefits to three years and require recipients to participate in educational or work training or Goodrich is promising to maintain at least 490 jobs and provide up to $1()() million in capital investment over the next 10 years. "We weighed this assistance against the chance of losing this asset," Wanen said Friday. "The issue was to figure a way to help it be competitive in this region." The state will provide a $600,000 job training grant from the Industrial Training Program and certain tax incentives to encourage new machinery investment. The city's tax abatement will require approval of the City <;ouncil, but Council President Michael Polensek said he thinks the di:al will be passed. , EPA wants plants to cut emissions WASHINGTON (AP) -The Environmental Pro· tection Agency is ordering nearly 400 power plants and industrial boilers in 12 states, including Ohio, to dra· matically reduce emissions that cause smog. The directive came Friday as the EPA approved petitions by New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania complaining that pollutants drifting from the Midwest prevented them from meeting federal clean-air standards. "People in these communities have been suffering by pollution carried in the air across state borders," said EPA Administrator Carol Browner. "Today's action means healthier air in those communities." The EPA mandate requires that 392 facilities reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by a total of 510,000 tons a year by May 2003. Browner estimated the cleanup would cost companies $950 million. The jurisdictions affected by the ruling are Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Penn· sylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, plus the District of Columbia. The largest proportion of plants are in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wes~ Virginia. Six jurisdictions targeted are among those that have filed petitions of their own with the EPA: New York and Pennsylvania, whose petitions were approved, and New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia, which have petitions pending. to look for jobs. The state's Ohio Works First program r~duced the number of those on welfare by 26 percent from October 1997 to October 1998. The next year it decreased 18 percent more. In the past 1"10 months, the number of recipients increased by 3. 7 percent. . Caseloads are up to 257,035 statewide. Allen said it is too soon to draw any conclusions that the number of recipients is rising. "We certainly don't have a sign of a reverse trend that things are shooting back up," All en said. "Some other states are starting to report a similar phenomenon." The state's reforms followed new federal welfare laws that gave states unprecedented flexibility in customizing programs to move recipients into jobs. In Ohio, 10,062 recipients have been on welfare continuously si nce October 1997 and face termination of their monthly checks in October. Benefits cou ld end for 6,584 more recipients by the end of 2000.

(AP)- Ending a week marked by trouble for linda Tripp, her lawyer signaled a posstble delay in her Jan. 18 trial date, saying he needs more hme to prepare her defense on state wiretapptng charges "There's no need to rush mto a trial <late," Tripp lawyer Joe Murtha satd Friday after Maryland prosecutors called their last witness tn a weeklong pretrial hearing llighhghted by testimony from Monica Lewmsky In an interview, Murtha focused on vanous defenses to the wtretap· pmg charges, suggesting Mrs. Tnpp's July 30 indictment was an cumpie of vmdicuve or selecttve prosecutton based on her cooperatton tn Ken Starr's probe of Prestdent Clinton. Murtha also suggested Mrs. Trtpp had no choice but to turn over the ' Lewmsky tapes to Starr as soon as a prosecutor stgned an immumty order compelling their production. "I can enviston another week ofpretrtal hearings," Murtha said of court proceedtngs, which are on hold until January. Howard County Circuit Judge Dtane Leasure tncreased Mrs Tnpp's legal peril thts week, ruling she was not protected by immunity when she gave Starr her secret tape recordmgs of phone conversations with Ms lewmsky. Sa)mg he would watve Mr&. Tripp's nghtto a speedy trial, Murtha satd he wanted to revtew the transcript of thts week's hearing and prepare sup· plemental papers for the Judge Prosecutors also wtll prep~re wnuen arguments for the judge.

After Coble's two free throws hiked Athens' lead to 38-34 with I :38 left, River Valley charged again when junior guard Eric Nolan burst from !he wing and got hi s layup to fall with · I :06 left. Athens, at the brink of seeing its 38-36 lead cut to one, breathed easier when Nolan missed the bonus free throw made necessary by Wade Martin 's second foul.

Prime time: The margin fluctualed between five and seven points in the fourth quarter 's early stages. Then River Vall ey center Jeremy Peck's lay up trimmed Athens' lead to 36-32 with 5:07 left. Prior to Athens' first timeou t of the frame (4:06), the Bulldogs were held to fo ur field-goal attempts . The Raiders' smothering defense, especiall y in the paint, factored heavily in Coble's missing lhree point-blank range baskets while holding 6-foot-4 junior postman Les Champlin to no shots - made or missed - after halftime . That defensive play also kept the Bulldogs' other b1g men 6-foot-2 junior forward David Fulks and the 6- foot-3 McAllister - out of the paint after halftime.

The Highlanders led 12-4 after one quarter because of Skidmore's tO-points in the opening period. Fueled by Skidmore's seven-point second quarter, the Highlanders led 28·14 at halftime.· The Bobcats rallied in the third quarter when Chris Nida's five-point effort m the frame helped trim their hosts' lead to 32-22 at the period's end. In the last quarter, the Highlanders .struggled offensively, as Skidmore had his club's last and only field goal of the frame. Zack Davis' six-point effort helped Kyger Creek get withing striking distance. B~t that and the Bobcats' 4-for· IO foul shooting in prime time (compare wtth Southwestern's 3-for-13 foul shooting in the period) weren't enough to overtake the hosts. Also scoring for Southwestern were Jamie Ehman (nine). Luke Lawrence (four), Cato Lyall, Rocky Sowrds (two each) and Nathan Wood (one). Scoring for Kyger Creek were Davis ( 13).

By SAM . WILSON Times-Sentinel Correspondent The best news to come out of the baseball wi nter meetings was Reds General Manager Jim Bowden announc· ing that Cincinnati was removing itself from the Ken Griffey Jr. sweepstakes. Over the years,· Bowden has been known to create miracles on a shoestring budget. To understand his success. all one has to do is look at this year's team. He had hoped to bring Junior "back home" to Cincinnati . He almost traded a plethora of young promising stars to gel him here. Fortunately for the Reds, Bowden realized that the p n c~ was too high. Yes, Junior's appearance might have had the same effect as McGwire's trade to St. Louisa couple of years ago; however, it wouldn't bring the ReJs the pennant they desire . 1 Realistically. the objec tive of any trade should be to improve the team's chances of making it to the World Series. The objeci of any game is to win. The goal of any team is championships. If Bowden wanted to acq uire one player who would improve Cincinnati 's chances of winning the Central Division and the National League, he should begin discussions with Boston on the avai lability of Pedro Maninez. Don't get me wrong - it would have been a nice homecoming to brin g Junior back tu his mots, to reunite him with hi s father. Atte ndance li gures would soar to incredible heights with the amount of fa ns wanting to sec him play. I know I would love to have him only two hours away. The most important question. however, is whether the Reds could re-sig n him to long- term contract. Here is a player who paid $12.000 for sun glasses last scason.· ll would cost around $20 million a year to keep him in a Reds uniform . A team can devcinp a lot of lalen t wilh tl\at kind of money. It's also importan t to emphasize the fact that Gr iffey has neve r led his team to a World Series. Seattlo has w,,n one di vision al title with Griffey on the tcarn . That championship was also the resu lt of one of the most remark - able late season col lapses in baseball h"'""' hv the Ange ls. In a one-game pl ayoff. the Mariner> , hc11 1nd the pi tchi ng of Randy Johnson, beat the Angels fur the tille. Scallk n,, longer has Johnson. and that's part of the reason they haven't been back to I he playoffs . The Braves and Yankees made it to the World Series because of pitching. No malter how good an offense a team has, it is pitching th at determines champions. Ari zona. Johnson's new home. won the National League West this past year and Johnson won the Cy Young awa rd . There is more to this than ·mere coinc idence . Does the NFL make any sense'' How many of us would have pred icted the di visional leaders at thi s stage of the season' With Jacksonville being the lime excepti on. I missed on the remaining fi ve di visions. San Francisco is terrible. Green Bay, Dalla~ , Minnesota and Denver are mediocre at best. The Rams are the beasts of the NFC, and Indy fa ns are fol· lowing Jacksonville games to see 1f the Colts could win home field advan· tage throughout the playoffs. At the beginning of the season. Colts fans hoped for the remote poss ibility to make the playoffs in football's toughest division. Today, they have a three-game lead on Miami and Buffalo. Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James arc three of the top li ve players in this year's Pro Bowl balloting. The Rams are an even greater surprise. Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk have been spectacular. Last year they went 0-8 in di visio nal play. This year they have reversed those fig ures to go undefeated in the West. Still, the team I like to win it all is Jacksonville. l'll stay with my only correct prediction. I just keep thinking that next year will produce the same wacky results as this year. It's just exciting to sec 3· 13 teams make it to the Super Bowl in the next season. It give'\!jS a glimmer of hope to all downtrodden franchises. It's something both the Bengals and Browns can use for motiv ation . By TERESA M. WALKER CHAITANOOGA; Tenn . (AP)Georgia Southern waited a year to redeem itself in the Division 1-AA championship. Once the game start· ed, the Eagles ended the su sp~nse by halftime. Adrian Peterson rushed for a record 247 yards in 25 carries and scored three touchdowns as Georgia Southern scored 28 unanswered points in the seco nd quarter and rout· ed Youngstown State 59-24 Saturday, becoming the first team to win five 1-AA titles. The Eagles (13-2) mi ssed a chance at a championship last year when they turned the ball over se ven times in losing to Massachusetts. They never let the ball out of their hands Saturday except to hand 11 to an official as they scortd on their first six possessions. Youn gstown State (12·3) had not lost to Georgia Southern in three previous games, but the Eagles had Peterson on their .side Saturday. The Walter Payton Award winner scored on runs of 3, 22 and I yards. The sophomore now has topped 200 ya rds rushing II times in his short career, and he betlercd the 244 yards rushing by Massachusetts' Marcel Shipp in last year 's title game. Youngstown State came in with a defense that had been giving up just 166 yards rushing per ga!IJe. It wasn' t enough against 1-AA's best rush· ing offense. The Eagles got 210 of their 638 yards rushing in the second quarter and fi nished with 655 yards of offense compared to 338 for Youngstown Stale. The Penguins kep t, pace with Georgia Southern by scoring on their fi rst two drives. Then Peterson got Georgia Southern going. His first touchdown put the Eagles ahead to stay at 14-10 with 10:25 left in the second quarter. Bennie Cunningham added a 57yard touchdown, and Peterson turned in a highlight run as he broke through six tackles before falling down on a 58-yard gain. He scored two plays later for a 31-14 lead with 5:27 left. Anthony William s padded the Eagles' lead to 38- 14 by returning a punt 72 yards with 2:09 remaining . Cu nnin gham fini shed with 129 yards on four carries. and Greg Hill had 14 runs for Ill yards Adri an Brown scored two touchdowns for Youngstown State and rushed for 160 yards on 22 carries. It was a showdown between I· AA's two best teams. Youngstown Stale had won more games (I 00) than any other ' I·AA program this decade and Georgia Southern came in with more pl ayoff victories than any other 1-AA progiam. Each came in \vith four 1-AA championships. The championship is the I;lagles' first under coach Paul Johnson and first since 1990.

The · next court rul ed that I had no case. I .then received a court summons stat' ing that I was being sued for the contractor's auorncy's costs under the claim that my small claim was a "frivolous" lawsuit. The small claims court is useful. but in my case I not only lost what the contractor's brochure promised , butt he filin g cost making payments. The company took tlle car and sold it, leaving a balance of $6,000. She is now paying $75 a month under an arrangement she made with the company. Even though she didn 't buy the car - only cosigned for it - is she still obligated to meet all of these payments? How long will this problem stay on our credit account? - M.V., Vallejo, . Calif. DEAR M.V. : A co-signer is equally responsible to the company as the person purchasing the car. The reason they loaned money to this guy was because of her then-good credit. Unfortunately, unless she pays the loan off within the terms she agreed to, her credit will suffer. It may seem unjust that she's on the hook for $6,000, but that's when you realize that you have dynamite at your fin- !The Bibbee and many hours of court time as well . - P.H., via e-mail DEAR P.H. : I have said many times that small-claims court is not the panacea that many folks want to believe it is.

After the closing, my wife discovered termites. The company that did the termite inspection says that they are not liable because the infestation was hidden behmd wallpaper. The bank and title company say they have no recourse and recommend that I pay the pest company.- TICKIOD NEAR TAMPA, via e-mail DEAR TICKED: In your part of Florida. termites are an extraordinarily common problem. I am sure the tenmile inspection company had some kind of clause in their report that made them not liable for hidden damage. But the termites couldn't survive without gelling down to the ground for m oisture, and they would leave mud tunnels an expert should be able to find . I think their excuse is weak. and you should consider taking them to small-claims court. DEAR BRUCE: I have just finished reading a step-by-step guide for pcgmners about how to get rich in the stock market. It says you should tell the broker what to do, not the other way around . It was interesting reading. but at the end, they try to sell you a course for $195. Is it worth ir' K.J ., Norristown, Pa. DEAR K.J .: If it's so easy to make millions of dollars. why in the world are they publishing this very valuable information for $ 195'' I suspec t there's a lot more money '" selling courses than there is to be made in the marketplace. With those promises, would I spring for that sort of money ·>Not by the hair on your chinnychin-chin . DEAR BRUCE: Four years ago, my wife was seeing a gentleman.

OSTUNG AP RellgioD Writer NEW YORK -The Rev. Billy Graham has lived through 81 of the 20th century's 100 years and experienced its wonders and upheavals: technological wizardry, antibiotics, transatlantic flight, war and rampant evil, Christian and Muslim advancement and serious cultural challenges to religion. But one thing hasn 't changed, says America's best-known religious leader: humanity's quest for salvation. During a New York trip to address a banquet for United Nations diplomats this week, Graham reflected on religious developments during an astonishing century, and he looked ahead. The 21st century will be the same spiritually as the 20th because "man's heart has not changed. God has not changed," he asserted in an interview with The Associated Press. "Some of the things I've heard are going to happen technologically are way beyond anything I can think about. I don't think that's going to change society. Society is made up of people, and people are the same the world over." In the early 1900s, he reflected, optim ism reigned among liberal Christians. "Some forecast that this would be 'The Christian Century.' A magazine was named that. They believed things would get better and better in the world." .Then came World War II,. which ''exploded a lot of this. It was as devastating a war as the world had ever known, with the atomic bomb and so forth, and it had a great impact on all religions.'' People deve loped a deeper sense of sin, he suggested. and looked beyond political nostrums for answers. He finds the social location of religion has changed dramatically. "I grew up in the South, and church was a big thing in our lives. I suppose it was throughout the country. In the schools, ministers were brought in to preach sermons, and the Bible was read every day. We had prayer in high school classes. This helped mold my character and my thinking.

" Technology has opened great opportunities for faith, he thinks. Electronic amplification, something we take for granted, has made preaching far easier, and broadcasting also provides evangelistic opportunities. At the same time, he said, "TV is a big negative, because people normally given to devotions and prayer and family circles neglect that now because somebody's favorite program is on. Some programs have deteriorated into the worst image of human nature. There's so much violence." Looking toward the 21st century, Graham knows he won't keep up with all the changes in gadgetry, but he is unconcerned. "I have made some advances. I have learned to turn my computer on.

Local blood donors visit bloodmobile POMEROY - Meigs County residents donated 79 units of blood when the American Red Cross Bloodmobile visited the Meigs County Multipurpose Senior Center last week. The bloodmobile came at a time when the Red Cross began an appeal for three types of blood in severe shortage: 0 negative, A negative, and B negative. The blood shortage comes at a time further complicated by a labor strike by workers in the Tri-State Region, which began last week. Although bloodmobiles and blood collection have stopped in the area because oJ the strike, blood will be supplied in emergency cases by other sources. According to the Tri-State Region Blood Services division of the Red Cross, inventory for those three blood types have fallen below a one and a half-day level, which is 50 percent of what is needed. The negative blood types as a group are not as common as the positive blood types, according to Cheryl Gergely of the Red Cross. Type 0 negative is the universal blood type, and can be given to anyone with any other type of blood. "Hospitals have to keep a certain amount of 0 negative blood at all times,"·Gergely said. "Some people, such as trauma victims, need to be transfused immediately. There may not even be time to -determine a patient's blood type; in those situa" lions, 0 negative can m~an the difference between life and death." The upcoming holidays also bring a traditional shortage of all blood types. The period between ...ilit::::j . mid-November and mid-January is, therefore, one of the most critical collection periods during the entire year. "We work to have enough visits scheduled during this time to give people the opportunity to donate blood. Even around the holidays, the Red Cross needs 240 blood donors a Good Afternoon! 98 FORD ISCORT ZX2 Aut~raol &mort 995 1 Secdonl • 10-Pllpl ~~I~Ii~ar § ~ll!!l!lli~!

Old courthouse site. of new (mock) trials 'Sultana: Mississippi's Titanic' By WOODY BAIRD Associated Press Writer MEMPHIS, Tenn. - They had survived some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War and the horrofli of the South's most brutal prison camps. Finally, they were going home. Packed aboard the steam boat Sultana, more than 2,000 Union soldiers were on their last journey of the war. Spirits were high. "AI last all dangers and hardships' were over ... and song and laughter would take the place of groans and tears of agony," Pvt. James Collins of the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry wrote in his memoifli. But the agony wasn't over. Most of those soldiers got no closer to home lhan seven miles up the Mississippi River from Memphis. There, the Sultana blew its boilm, scalding to death hundreds and throwing the rest into the Mississippi. Up to 1,800 people were killed. It was- and still is- the woflit maritime disaster in U.S. history, killing more people than died on the Titanic, but it was oveflihadowed at the time by the recent assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, which dominated the nation's headlines. The timing relegated the Sultana to a footnote in American history, but descendants of the victims are working to ensure the disaster isn't forgotten . " Most people will say, 'I never heard of that before'," said Pam Newhouse, a member of the Sultana Association of Descendants and Friends. Newhouse's great-great grandfather, Pvt. Adam Schneider of the 183rd Ohio Infantry, died aboard the Sultana. "Like so many families, we don't know the particulafli of how he died," she said. "He got on and he did not come home." The association helps authofli with research and presents talks on !he Sultana to civic groups and at CiviJ War roundtab_les. The group also helped researchers with a 1998 documentary for the History Channel called "Sultana: The Mississippi's Titanic." The Sultana exploded on April 27, 1865, just 13 days after Lincoln's ao;sassination and 18 days after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender. John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin, was found and killed the day before the Sultana went up in flames.
