Dear Ann Landers: I nm 64 years old, have buried two husbands and have had a full life, complete with children. grandchildren and two dear great-grands. When my husband's sex drive began to diminish about two years ago (he is now 67), it didn 't bother me a bit. In fact, I was relieved . I was never crazy about sex, even in my younger days, and as I grew older, I cared for il even less. like a miracle. My husband has been rejuvenated. I feel like a bride again ." A 60-year-old man from Ohio wrote to say he had been "sexually dead for nearly five years" and he had asked his druggisl if Viagra might help. The druggist said , " No harin m trying." so the man did. and it worked like a charm. Hi s wife was so thrilled. she went out and bought three new nightgowns. It all boils down 10 how a woman feels about her man . If she loves him and wants him to enjoy the ultimate in marital bliss. she will be happy there is now a drug that can help him recapture the sexual energy of hi s younger years. But beware . there IS a downside . My medical consultants say Viagra could be nsky for men who are taking medication for high blood pressure or heart problems. It may possibly be linked to the recent deaths of several men who took Viagra along with their nitroglycerin . My advice is to consult your doctor. Dear Readers: Who said nothing ever happens in a small town? A reader in South Dakota sent me a clipping of an interesting Associated Press story. Here's the scoop: The family of a Sioux Falls woman who died in 1995 aftor she fell from a bar stool is suing the establishment where she was drinking. Employees of the saloon continued to serve the woman drinks even though they knew she was intoxicated, the lawsuit said. The woman fell off the bar stool and was fatally injured. Her blood-alcohol level was four times the legal limit, according to the complaint. The family is asking for $190,000 in damages. I hope my readers in Sioux Falls will let me know how this turns out. Dear ADD LaDders: Among my many wonderful grandchildren is a lovely young woman, "Sharon." She is 19 years old. makes friends easily and has a very good job. but she has a·problem about which she can do nothing. This beautiful, smart young woman is 6 feet 5 inches tall. She is not large, just tall. I am writing in the hope that you can help us find an organization for tall people. I've seen a group out together locally. so there must be a chapter nearby, but I haven't been able to locale it. Any help you or your readers can give will be appreciated. -- F.N. in Hemet, Calif.

Choosing a nursing home NURSING HOMES One of the questions I often get from people who serve as representative payees for beneficiaries unable 10 take care of their affairs ts whether I can recommend a good nursing home. Generally, I send them a copy of a publication by the Health Care Financing Admmistration called "A Guide 10 Choosing a Nursing Home." h provides a wealth of information you can use to make such a decision . The booklet suggests that when shopping for a nursing home remembe to carry a nursing home checklist and observe: the daily lifestyle of the residents; the care residents receive from the staff; how the nursing home handles payment; and the environment. You should also know that your state hcahh department produces a yearly report, which you should review, on the performance of each nursing home that is certified for Medicare or Medicaid. The report should be posted at the nursing home and is also available through your state health department or from the local ombudsman program. It's important 10 remember that choosing a nursing home will require you to use cntical judgmental a variety of levels. Your final judgment should also include your intuitive "gul feeling ." In addition, you should seek information from a broad base of sources and not rely on any one source in making your decision. For more information on how to shop for the best nursing home and what questions to ask, call the Health Care Financing Administrotion's Medicare Hotline at 1-800-638-6833, and ask for the hooklet, Guide To Choosing A Nursing Home . Also. you may call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 for general Medicare mformation. KEEPING THE PROMISE Social Security has been called a promise, a promise between generattons ... a promise to those who have spent their lives working 10 l>uild the nation we all live in ... a promise that they will not have to spend their last days without an income. It is important to remember this promise on the occasion of the 63rd anniversary of the signing of the Social Security Act by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, on August 14, 1935. This is the strength of the program. the glue that hotels it tog,ether and has made it one of the most popular domestic government programs in history. many observers believe. Everybody has a stake in it and the stake transcends generations. Today 's workers expect that if they mntinue to support the program.lhcy will receive hcnctits. They know that their parents arc bencr off because of the Social Security taxes they pay. Social Security was established to. as Prcstdent Roosevelt put it. " ... give some measure of protection lo the average cititcn and to his family against the loss of a jot> and against poverty -ridden old age ." The early 30's were a time when the problems of the poor and aged became increasingly visible. Since then. Social Security has become one of the most su~.:ccssful government programs ever. Wilhnul Social Security. nearly 50 percent of the people who receive benefits would fall below the poverty line .

The Commerce Department reported today that last month 's increase, the smalle st since a similar 0.1 percent advance in March. left retail sales at $225.7 billion last month. . The June advance followed a much more robust 1.2 percent surge in sales in May, the biggest increase in I0 months. The slowdown. which was in line with expectations, renected outright declines in sales at department stores, hardware stores and service stations and only a small 0.1 percent increase in sales by auto dealers. Consumer spending is closely monitored by economists since it accounts for two-thirds of total eco- nomic activity. The overall economy. as measured by the gross domestic producJ. soared ahead ~!-.lin annual rate of 5.4 percent in the lirst three months of the year, but most analysts believe growth is now in the process of slowing dramatically. to perhaps an annual rate of just 2 percent. The slower growth is expected to occur in part because of the impact of the Asian financial crisis. which is cutting sharply into the ability of American manufacturers and farmers to se ll to Asian countries. who buy one-third ·of all American ex pons. While the weaker growth will mean a rise in the unemployment rate. it had fallen to a 28-year low of 4.3 percent in April and May. raising concerns that unless growth slowed lo a more sustainable level on its own. the Federal Reserve would be forced to step in and begin raisin~ interest mtes to cool dernand. For June. unemployment rose slightly to 4.5 percent Many economists are predicting that the slowing economy will nudge the jobless rate up to clo>e to 5 percent by year's end. Tuday ' s report un retail sales showed that demand at auto showrooms inched up 0.1 percent la.st month. far below the 2.4 percent jump. in .sales recorded in May. Sales al department stores fell by 0.3 percent in June following a 0.6 percent increase in May. Sale.s were al~o down at hardware and building supply centers, dipping 0.2 percent while sales at furniture stores dropped by 0.3 percent. Grocery stores recorded a small 0. I percent rise in June sales and demand at restaurants was up an even stronger 0.6 percent. Sales at gasoline stations were down 0.1 percent and specialty clothing stores saw a 0.4 percent dip in demand. v l i FUN IN THE his eyes 11 he dafended himself with 1 Qlrden hosa while hiVIng a water fight with his brother Georvt, 6, on Monday In front of their home In Pueblo, Colo.

PPWV Fruth Pharmacy 7117 By KEN BERGER CLEVELAND tAPl - Most Cleveland Indians fans have a list of Yankees they dread that 's as long as their arms. Now they have an arm - and a really big first baseman - to combat the Bronx Bombers. Jim Thome hot his 24th homer. tripled and scored two runs. and Jaret Wright became the first pitcher to beat New York twice thi s season as the Indians ended the Yankees' 10· game winnrng streak with a 4- 1 victory Monday ntght. The sellout crowd of 43.177 at Jacobs Field wa' charged up as if the calendar said "October." So woo; Wnght. "'ho threw a playoff-like 126 pitches in an ovellJOWering seveninning performance. "As you can tell from the fans,ot's not a ty pical game when we play New York." saod Wnght. facing the Yankees for the first time smce dying his hair platonum blond. Wnght (9-5), who also defeated the Yankees'twice in last year's divisoon series, allowed one run and eoght hits in seven innings, walking two and stnking out four. Cleveland kept the Yankees from securing baseball's best stan thos cen- ··Anybody can beat anybody three out of five or four out of seven," Wright said. " If they're there and we ' re there , it's going to be fun ." Every time Thome stepped to the plate. his heart was heavy woth thoughts of stricken hilling coach Char~e Manuel , who had successful quadruple bypass surgery on Monday. And hos mind wa' tilled with advice he got from Manuel in a bedside chat at the hospital on Sunday. " I walked in and he kind of smiled." said Thome, who has worked on his hotting with Manuel nearly every day since 1989. "Then we just staned talking about hilling." Thome , 8-for-21 with three homers against the Yankees this season. had an infield single in the eighth . He was 3-for-4 , mossing only a double for the cycle. He caught a break before his triple. because home plate umpire Jom Evans didn't see a pitch from Hernandez bounce up and hot him in the leg. "Nothing was said. so I didn't know what to do," Thome said. " So I just got back in the box and hot." Darryl Strawberry hit his 12th homer for the Yankees. who mossed a chance at their tirst 11-game win- ning streak since 1985. Kenny Loftoo hit his eighth homer m the seventh. a solo shot off Hernandez that made it 4-1. Thome's 408-foot shot off Hernandez tied it at 1-1 in the fourth . Manny Ramirez walked . Brian Giles doubled. and Sandy Alomar blooped an RBI single to right to make it 21. Thome led off the sixth with a triple and scored on Ramirez's sacrifice fly. Center fielder Chad Curtis leaped against the wall but had the ball go off his glove when he collided with the fence and Tim Raines. Ramirez drove him in with a sac fly to make it 3- I. Notes: Strawberry 's homer ended a 1-for- 11 slump . ... The 1907 Chicago Cubs and 1928 Yankees were 6323 after 86 games .... The Yankees are 17-8 atJacobs Field .... Wright is 113 with a 3.71 ERA in his career after a Cleveland loss .... Mike Jackson potched the ninth for his 20th save. lOth in a row and 13th in 14 chances.

General Motors Corp. is defending its costly stralegy of fighting the United Auto Woric.ers · effons to preserve union jobs at two parts plant<. Strikes at the two plants in Aint have cost GM about $1.2 billion, and the losses are growing by about $80 million each day that the automaker's North American production remains virtually idle. "Is the approach that has cost GM more than $1 billion to date worth it?" GM Vice President Donald C. Hackworth asked GM's salaried employees in a recorded message Monday. "Looking at it in actual dollar terms. it's hard to justify . . "But our long-term viability is on the line. And that means our future JOb secunty. For that very reason I say, 'absolutely.'" GM argues that the union is protecting outdated and inefficient work practices that have helped make GM the highest-cost major automaker. The UAW says GM has broken its promise to invest in new equipment at one of the plants that would make it more efficient Hackwonh warned employees not to expect an end to the walkouts soon. "It appears as though we have a long haul before a settlement is reached." he said. " It is very-difficult to see how this will all be brought to an end " UAW officials did not return phone call s for comment. But UAW Vi ce President Richard Shoemaker has said the strikes could last well into August. Hackworth's message came one day after GM's top negotiator left Flint and suspended high-level negoti~•ions with Shoemaker. Also on Monday. Gov. John Engler offered to help break the stalemate. "There are not simply two sides to thiS strike, there are tens of thousands of sides," Engler said. "Unless a resolution is reached quickly. the effects will be felt by everyone from auto suppliers and dealers to restaurant owner.;, retailers and mom and pop neighborhood stores ." Plant-level negotiatiOns continued Monday after all-mght talks Sunday. There was no word on any progress. Showing its determination to proceed with the launch of its new full-size pickups. GM reopened one of its truck assembly plants that had been idled last month by the strikes at ·two parts plants in Flint. GM recalled 2,880 workers to the Pontiac East plant near Detroit to begin making "pilot" versions of the 1999 pickups to test the new equtpment and assembly line in advance of regular production. But production is expected to be short-lived if the strikes by 9,200 workers continue, because the work rs dependent on parts from the planrs on strike. The auto maker also reopened it' Oshawa. Ontario, assembly plant where production of the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sterra twin pickups began last month. That plant had remained in operation despite the strikes until GM's recent two-week summer vacatiOn shutdown, which ended Monday.

A growing numthe 1998 class of 120 so far have ber of students - nearly 3,000 failed the tests . Roscoe estimates 12 failed them this year.

"It·s hard to feel too much com- passion" fOr students who ~ave failed the tests "because most of them don't tlle school seriously," Stoloff said. Aorida gives students who have completed course work but failed the tests a "certificate of completion," as opposed to a "diploma." The certificates are "totally worthless," Stoloff said. "You are dead in the woods with a certificate of completion. All it said is you attended school for four years. case closed, good bye and good luck." Few options What happens to the kids who fail? If Kayeta Dye fails the test again this week. she plans to move to another state and lake the 12th grade again - without the humiliation of attending school with students who once were underclassmen. "''m tired oftaking this test," said Kayeta. who works part-time at a salon. "This is too much stress." Kayeta's friend. Charity Luckett, IB. is in the same situation: Although she was not a.~ regular a student a' Kayeta. Charity completed her course work but can't pass the tests in math and citizenship. In May, Charity missed the required 200 points by one-half point in citizenship and by two points in math. "This is the closest I've ever come to pa."ing it," she said. ''I don't know what I'll do if I don't pass" this time. Her career options right now are to continue working in housekeeping at a local hoteL Her preference is to attend nearby Columbus State Col lege. When Charity and Kayeta learned they would not gmduate, they were shattered. "I did everything" the other seniors did, said Kayeta, "except walk across the stage." Shawn Edinger, 18. who attended Columbus' North High School, also should have graduated this spring. His future is on hold because he failed the math portion of the test. It's a circumstance that has left him feeling angry and shortchanged because he was earning As and Bs by senior year. " I want to attend Columbus State to complete courses in law enforcement." satd Shawn. This year. Shawn earned state certification for Ohio Peace Officers Training Commission. which allows him to work. part-time for a private security firm . Now. though, nothing matters except pass;ng the math test. " I'm not giving up. I had a counselor who told me I should drop out and get my GED and just be done with it. But I'm gotng to get my diploma." AGED doesn't have the prestige of a diploma. experts say. and doesn't carry the same wetght with employers and college officials. Students' stories are si mtlar across the country. In Texas, which introduced high stakes exams in 19!!5, the tests tripped up Alfred Hicks, now 23, from Paris. Hicks went to Paris High School, where he completed his classes and was a solid, though not exceptional. student. He wa.• supposed to graduate in 1993. He took the "three-pan Texa• Asse.<;.,ment of Academic Skills exam four times. Each time. he was stumped by the math. Hicks wanted to join the U.S. Navy and had pmed the qualifying tests. But everythlng wa.• voided when · he fat led to pa." the exams. Hicks won't dwell on the fact that his school grades and enlistment tests were good enough for the U.S. Navy. but couldn't cut the mustard with the state. "I'm not going to let that get me down." he said. Hicks now works at a Paris grocery store. Since he can no longer take the test, he plans to try next month for his GED so he can enroll at the Paris Community College this fall . That would help him advance, even at the grocery. Setting higher standards Today's high stakes tests were designed to prove that getting a diploma means a student can read and understand basic material, compute simple math problems, identify the U.S. Constitution and write concisely. Although the tests vary state to state, most of the material is at the. eighth or ninth grdde level. According to a new report by The Center for Educalton Reform, a conservative think tank. more than 10 million Americans since 1983 have reached the 12th grade not having learned to read at a basic level. More than 20 million have reached their senior year unable to do basic math. the report said. anti almost 25 million don't know the basics of U.S. history. With gmduation exit exams, the theory goes. that can't happen. Those are among the rea.>ons the tests were started in Ohio. where, in order to graduate. students must pass the Ninth Gr.de Proficiency Test that is given in writing. reading. math and citizenship. The tests. which soon 70 ry said. She has asked federal investtgator.; to say whether any other aircraft in the area experienced problems possibly traceable to the same cause. National Transportation Safety Board chairman James Hall says Ms. Scarry's theory is being investigated as part of his agency's inquiry into the July 17. 1996, crash off New York's Long Island. All 230 people aboard dtcd when the Boeing 747 jumbo jet exploded minutes after leaving John F. Kennedy International Atrport for Pans. Investigators say the plane's central fuel tank exploded, but have not been able to find an ignition source. Two other theories - a bomb or a missile - were ruled out after an extensive probe. An exchange of letters between Ms. Scarry and Hall appears in the July 16 issue of the New York Revtew of Books, a scholarly magazine that in April published an arttcle by Ms. Scarry raising the question of whether electromagnetic interference had triggered the TWA disa<ter. In a March 13 letter to Hall. Ms. Scarry said the NTSB findings had not ruled out "the possibility that a High Intensity Radiated Field. or HIRF, played a part in the crash of TWA 800," and suggested that the agency intervtew sailors and airmen who were operhting electronic gear at the time and could best provide information for a minute-by-minute reconstruction. Hall replied that the TWA jetlin· er's flight data and cockpit voice recorders had shown no such effect' on the plane's systems- and near· by aircraft had reported no unusual signals.

Harvard University professor Elaine Scarry said Sunday that the interference could have come from powerful sign'lling equipment on one of about 10 military ships or planes m the vtcinity. The electromagnetic stgnals could have prompted an electrical charge aboard TWA BOO to jump from highvoltage to low-voltage wires and then travel to the fuel gauge and the fuel tank.

The tests were "not designed to punish student• or to keep them from graduating," said Watts. As for students who "barely miss passing the test, he said he's "very sympathetic. And yes, that's sad. But, of course. if we start making excuses again," poor performance will be the result. There is, howeyer, debate about whether testing improves education. Columbia's Darling-Hammond believes that, "in the long run, some of the evidence suggests that the quality of education has not improved much" with the tests. Monty Neill of The National Center for Fair & Open Testing, a Cam; bndge, Mass., advocacy group. believes the tests have a kind of · "grade inflation" of their own. More students may be pa..sing the test>. he said, but that doesn't necessarily mean overall learning ha~ improved. "If a test measures ~me things in: a broad subject area, and the teacher teaches to the test. rather than to the broad domain. you end up with high scores on the test rather than if there · -.... wa.< a fair representation of their knowledge of the domain," he said. '" There is also concern about ~ whether the tesls discriminate. ~e Dally Sentinel e Page Pomeroy • Middleport, Ohio FOUND G&rman Shephard puppy near Apple G10ve , WV 30•· 576- 2751 Found Small While Male Terner.

In order for the marriage to tlounsh, both spouses should have confidence in each other, he committed to the relationship, communicate openly, and be willing to compromise and invest time, energy and personal skills and resources. Vital or happy marriages are not accidental. A willingness by both spou ses to make the marriage a healthy and fulfilling one must be evideut. All ~ood marriages are not the same. but there arc certain characteristic> that arc prevalent in the relationships of those people who arc happily married. What qualities seem to make a happy marriage? There are ten commonalities that form the stron~ marriage profile: I . People in happy marriages are giving people. They enjoy doing things for each other without expected returns. 2. Happily married people are committed and dedicated to their marriage. They are resolved to make the marriage successful. 3. Happy spouses have found a balance between individualism and the harmony of the marriage. They are independent with their own opinions and pursuits. hut they also look to the success of their marriage as their number one g~JL 4. Both spouses in a happy marriage have energetic sex drives. Sex and intimacy arc important parts of the marriage relationship. 5 Happily married people like to talk . Tiley enjoy sharing their thoughts. ideas and opinions on all kinds of topics . fl .

They don't realize that they create the spark that 'ce ps the relationship alive. Here arc a few simple things you can do to re-light the old name: Listen to your spouse without judging or giving advice . Compose a list of the "Top Ten Memories" of your partner and give it 10 him or her. Pitch in without hcing asked. Admire your spouse's accomplishments. Make dates with each other.

At the state board's monthly meeting held Tuesday in Columbus. a public hearing on the proposed intervention procedure< for districts falling into the lowest two performina cateaories: academic watch and ~mic emergency. '1l1e rule is designed to provide intervention strategies for academically bankrupt districts," said James Van Kueren, assistant superintendent for the state Department of Education. "It pushes the response to the local level." Under the guidelines discussed by Van Kueren, those districts designated as in academic watch and academic emerg~ncy would establish an advisory panel to help develop a continuous improvement plan. This advisory panel, which would include a variety of community members and school officials, would establish performance goals and develop corrective actions to be included in the improvement plan.

Following that evaluation, a school improvement guidance panel could then be appointed. The guidance panel would provide direction for revising the improvement plan, as well a< provide oversight and technical a~sistance for implementation of the plan. They would not, however. supplant the authority of local boards of education. · If improvements in meeting state standards still were not shown, the state would have the ability to step in and revoke a school district's charter. ~1 think the issue of pulling charters is a last resort." said John Goff. superintendent of public instruction for the state's Department of Education. He said districts in academic emergency and continuou.< improvement would have to fail to improve for five years while those in academic watch would have to not improve for three years. The state board is expected to vote on the intervention strategy during their mid-September board meeting. The legislature would have to sign off on the intervention strategy as well. Under legislation pa<.<cd in August Win extends Reds' streak to 9 games Page4 1997, the Ohio Department of Education began issuing report cards to every district in Ohio this year. While a pilot program will operate through next year, beginning in the year 2000. the "grade" designations will become official. Districts get their "grades" in IB different categories: having a student ·attendance rate of 93 percent, keeping a dropout rate at three percent or less and meeting a total of 16 proficiency test standards for fuurth graders, ninth graders. tenth gr•ders and twelve graders. Overall. school districts can receive one of four grades: effective (meeting 17 or more standards); continuous improvement (meeting 10 to 16 standards); academic watch (meeting six to nine standards); and acad' ernie emergency (meeting live or fewer standard<). While some school superintendents have criticized the performance marks, which would currently rate less than a dozen of Ohio's 612 school districts as effective, Goff said he has mixed feelings on the high bar. "(think the highest one (effective) is a pretty tough standard ... but when you start taking a look at the bouom two standards, I think serious questions need to be asked when a district can't pass one-third or one-half bf these performance marks." he said. suspect manhunt intensifies ANDREWS, N.C. (AP)...:. Nearly six months after he disappeared, the man suspected of blowing up an Alabama abortion clinic and wanted for questioning in three other blasts has given federal agents their best lead yet. Eric Robert Rudolph, 31. stole a nl'an's pickup truck and a six-month supply of food la~t week before dumping the truck and vanishing into the thick foliage of the North Carolina mountains, authorities said Tuesday. It was a huge break in the case, considering that agents have spent weeks searching the same rugged terrain amid false sightings atlea<t a< far away as Denver. It also supported their contention that Rudolph had not fled far from the .forests and mountains of his home. The manhunt for one of the FBI's ~0 Most Wanted suspeciA was immediately beefed up with elttra officers and bloodhounds around this community .in far western North Carolina, not far from the Great Smoky Mountain~ National Parle "We've said all along . Eric Rudolph was still in the an:u." said Woody Einderson of the Southeast Bomb Ta~k Force. "We suid he's alive and alone and we still believe that. ... We know he's in the area." Rudolph was setn last Thursday by a man who authorities say was robbed of the food and a 1977 blue Datsun pickup.
