Expert renounces state's proposal to fund schools By PAUL SOUHAADA Aaoc:tated Press Writer NEW LEXINGTON- A school finance expert hired by the school di~­ tricts suing the state says a former colleague has lent his name to a faulty plan to revamp the way Ohio pays for public education. Kern Alexander. president of Murray State Univen;ity in Kentucky. testified at a coun hearing Monday that ~e wa< never comfonabk with a method of determining the cost of basic education used by the so-<:alled " panel of expens'' he belonged to in 1994. The thinking behind the method: identify a group or districts that appear to be achieving a set of academic goals. figure out what they spend to educate a child and a.•sume that other districts can do the same wirh the same amount of money. That method provided the ba.~is for the school -funding formula developed by John Augenbliclt. a consultant from Denver. who wa.~ hired by the state following the Ohio Supreme Court's ruling in 1997 that the current system wa"' unconstitutional . The panel of experts wa.s convened earlier. after a Perry County judge reached the same conclusion. The judge wa.s Common Pleas Judge Lmton Lewis Jr.. who is holding two weeks of hearings into whether the state ha.s fixed the problem. The panel report. relea.'ied in 1995. largely was dismissed as offering too expensive a remedy. Alexander said the panel's method ignored the special circumstances in individual districts. He recomme~d incorporJting a series of additional measures. including da.-. size. all-day kindergarten and other items that have an impact on educational performance - and a known price lag. . . . Critics of Augenblick 's method also say legiSlators used lito miRimllc the impact on the state budget. Indeed. they tink~red with Augenblick 's formula and arrived at an even lower numh.:r than he did. " It was subject to manipulation," Alexander said of Augenblick's approach, "By adding or subtracting variables. the costs change." Augenblick and his defend~rs testilieil last week that Alexander's approach is unworkable. Alexander and .Richard Maxwell. a lobbyistl<•r the Buckeye Association of Sch<Kli Administmtors. were the opening witnesses for 1he Ohio Coalition for Equity & Ade4uacy of School Funding. Th~ coalition represents the more than 5<Xl school districts that sued the state. The state wrJpped up its half of the case on Friday after a series of wit· nesses laid out in minute detail ~ach J.gislative move related to education over the past 17 months. . . . the state's witnesses noted the more than $1 b1lhon either spent or promised since 199 I to help distri<ts repair or replace unsafe or obsolete buildings. the S25 million a year for new textbooks. thousands of new computers purchased and the additional money .rorall-day. every day kmderganen and smaller cia.-. siles in poorer school diStncts. The raw ligures don'ttellthc whole story. countered Maxwell. For example: the state has set aside $109 million for this school year for the kinderganen and class reduction - as w_ell as sal'ety- ~~grams at poor districts. But districts:'mly get the money 11"1hey actually olfer the serv1ces.

Cooper is considerably less than enthused that his top-ranked Buckeyes have to open on the ro~d in an extremely hostile environment against No. II West Virginia on Saturday night. But even before he confronts the Buckeyes' first road opener in 23 years, there is the issue of what players he' II be taking with him. Butkus Award-winning linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer - cover boy on the current Sports Illustrated - has yet to make the grade in summer school. The same goes for standout strong safety Damon Moore an\1 second-team All-Big Ten offensive lineman Rob Murphy. "We know when they 're taking their finals, but we don't know when the teachers are turning the grades in ." Cooper said Monday at his first weekly news conference. "They're not eligible until the grades are posted." Despite published repons quoting Murphy that he had already passed his classes. Cooper said he has received no such noli fication from Ohio State's academic counselors. The coaching stall hopes to get the word on the three staners as early a' Wednesday and no later than Friday. "There have been a lot of distractions because of academics." he said. After the grades come in. Cooper can tum his full attention to West Virginia. Nothing personal against the Mountaineers, but Cooper said he wished he wa.' in charge of who he played. "If I wa.• making the schedule at Ohio State, I would not play a nonconferense road game. Period," the lith-year coach said. "When you have <}3,000 people watching you play every game at home. why go on the road to play 0 " But the Buckeyes were apparently stuck with having to travel to Morgantown, W.Va .. as a payback for the Mountaineers traveling to Ohio Sta· dium for a 24-31oss in 1987 . So in addilion to the pressure of upholding the team's first No. I ranking in 18 years, Ohio State also is heading into a place where the game ha' become a crusade. Cooper said he would much prefer to have a couple of patsies lined up. "I'd play an ea'y non-conference game at home. like Nebraska's been doing for years and years and years," he said. He chuckled as he pointed to the C<>rnhuskers' 56-27 victory Saturday over Louisiana Tech and added. "They come back this week with another .tough one: Alabama-Binm- ingham. And how about Florida" They' ve got The Citadel." In Ohio Stale's 108 years of football. the Buckeyes have opened on the other team's home field just sev· en times. Woody Hayes wa• the coach in 1975 andAnchieGriffin was at tailback the last time OSU hit the road lllr an opener. There are a lot of rea.•ons why Cooper won't be humming anything about West Virginia being almost heaven. For staners. the Buckeyes will be spending Friday night in Washington. Pa ..

(AP) RAMIREZ HOMERS • Cleveland's Manny Ramirez, right, Is congratulated by teammate David Juatk:e after Ramirez hit a two-run home Gonzalez drives in seven in Rangers' rout; Indians triumph By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer Bryce Florie tried everything against Juan Gonzalez. Nothing worked. Fa"ball on the comer' Home run. A slider down? Double to left. Curve ball? Triple to center. Changeup? Another double. Gonzalez drove in seven runs and set a Texa' club record with four e~lra-base hils - all off Aorie Monday night. powering the Rangers to a 13-2 rout of the Detroit Tigers. Against Florie, Gonzalez hit his 39th homer, tripled and doubled twice. In his two games against the right-hander. Gonzalez is 8-for-8 with two homers. a triple, live doubles and 12 RBis. "He hit every pitch I had," Florie (6-9) said. "I threw him four different pitches and he hit every one. I can 't get the guy out. Maybe I should just throw my glove at him ne~l time. " Gonzalez. who leads the majors with 143 RBis, would probably rip the leather of that, too. "Evidently he sees the ball well against Florie," Te~a' manager Johnny Oates deadpanned. Gonzalez just missed becoming only the second Ranger to hit for the cycle when Bobby Higginson ran down his low liner to .medium right in the eighth. "I was trying ... Gonzalez said. " It's part of the game, but he caught the ball. He's a competitor and he did what he was supposed to do :· " I was pulling for it to fall in, " Oates said. "He gave it a shot. We told him in the dugout not to make a farce of it. but if there's any chance. stop at first (on a hit). We didn't want to make a farce of it, but I've never seen a cycle." The Tiger Stadium crowd booed Higginson 's catch and booed again when pinch-hiller Mike Simms grounded out with Gonzalez on deck to end the ninth . "Great players have great nights," Tigers manager Buddy Bell said.

You could be a great spokesperson for the thousands of us who love to help people buy and sell their homes. I have been licensed in two states for 20 years. I understand that buyers' plans often change due to unforeseen circumstances. However, when that happens, real-estate agents don't make a cent, even though they may have worked for days, weeks or even months trying to find the perfect house. More often than not, buyer> ask real-estate agents to put in time doing research but then don't have the courtesy to return calls. That is very annoying. The same is true when a realestate agent spends days showing property to a client who then cuts the agent out of the deal by having his brother-in-law write up the contract. Real-estate agents also feel shafted when they arrange several days of property sh,wings and the buyers don' t bother to show up . I won't daborate on my own horror storie, because every one of us has had so many, we've lost count. You would be amazed at how many LINDA'S PAINTING well-educated professionals, wh!J should know better, treat us shabbily. Please. Ann, ask the public to extend to us the same common courtesy they expect when they perfoi1JI their own professional services. ~ Fed Up in Aorida Dear Fed: Every real-estate agent on the North American continent will bless you for writing to me. I don't recall ever having dealt with this problem before. Thank you on behalf of all your beleaguered colleagues. ' Take the pain out of painting, and let me do it for you.

Southern Ohio Coal receives reclamation award WILKESVILLE - American Electric Power's (NYSE: AEP) Southern Ohio Coal Co. (SOCCo) received the "President's Award for Outstanding Reclamation" during the Ohio Mining and Reclamation Association annual meeting, which took place in Columbus recently. Lisa Morris, chief of the Ohio Department of' Natural Resources Division of Mines and Reclamation , , presented the award to Mike Lively, superintendent of surface operations for SOCCo. The award recognizes SOCCo 's reclamation efforts on I09 acres comprising the former Raccoon Mine No. 3 refuse disposal area. The company reclaimed the area, eliminated the need for ongoing water treatment there, and preserved buildings at the site for potential community economic development efforts. "We appreciate the recognition our reclamation program received from the OMRA," says Lively. "This site will provide important environmental benefits to the area for many years to come." AEP, a global energy company, is one of the United States' largest investor-owned utilities, providing energy to three million customers in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio.

The book is free, very uplifting and extremely informative. It is also available in audio and Spanish versions. Has L.R. seen another physician for a second opinion? There are so many new discoveries these days. She should read up on her illness and find out everything she can so she will be able to ask good q~es­ tions and get involved in fighting for her health, instead of listening to a doctor's death sentence.

SEPTEMBER 1 I �p_. 10 • The Dally Sentinel Pomeroy • Middleport, Ohio Attoclated Preu Writer MINNEAPOLIS - Both sides involved in the Northwest Airlines strike have cauldrons of cash set a.~ide to ride it out - which doesn "t suggest a quick end to the standoff. ··Our pilots have the support of a strike fund that is substantial.·· said Dean Smith, spokesman for the Air · Line Pilots Association. "We can go a.~ long a.• it takes." The pilots have about $65 million on hand, while Northwest has about $3 billion. President Clinton said Monday he ha.s a.'ked Transponation Secretary Rodney Slater to meet with company officials and the pilots'leaders to try to restart negotiations. The parties were to meet today. the fourth day of the strike. according to domestic policy aide Gene Sperling. In the president's first personal involvement in the strike, he issued a brief statement from Air Force One en route from Washington to Moscow saying he had a.sked Northwest and its pilots to "redooble their efforts to resolve their differences ." White House officials have said that if the strike reaches Labor Day, Clinton may reconsider his decision not to intervene and order a 60-day "cooling off" period as he did la.•t year when a strike by American Airlines pilots was only four minutes old. "I woold say that given the financial resoorces that Northwest has to fall back on and what the pilots union ha.' to fall back on, and given the ads both side.~ are running. we' ve got two sides here unwilling to negotiate with the present mood," said Tercy Trippler, publisher of The Airfare Report newsleller. "I hope I'm wrong. " Northwest has estimated the strike would cost it $175 million in the first 10 days but has not projected losses beyond that. Northwest's 6,100 pilots are gelling strike pay of $1,300 a month - which amounts 10 a total of almost $8 million per month.' Trippler said he expected the strike to last at least two more weeks if President Clinton doesn '1 step in. Another strike looms at Air Canada. where pilots set a strike deadline of midnight EDT tonight over issues of pay and worldng conditions. Air Canada was trying to find alternate transportation for 60,000 passengers who fly the airline daily. On Monday. the first business day Tomorrow: Cloudy High: 80; Low:SO of the strike. disruption was minimal at the airports in Northwest's hubs of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit and Memphis. Tenn. In contrast lo the long lines of leisure passengers on the weekend at Northwest's hubs, Monday's busines.' pa.•sengers had made other amngements . "I made my reservations about two weeks ago and p11rposefully booked another Hight," said Mary Kruse. 30. a computer networkihg specialist who travels around the country every other week. She wa.' nying from Minneapolis to Dalla.' on American. Northwest is the nation's sixthlargest airline in terms of pa.~sengers carried annually and the fourthlargest in revenue. bal ,.;ores could be considered a pos· itive sign in light of the fact that more student. taking the test speak English ._, a second language. Ba.,ili, however, disagrees that math scores are better because more students take higher levels of math and sdence. SAT questions involve arithmetic, geometry and algebra. not harder subjects like precalculus or trigonometry. he said. Instead. math scores have edged up steadily since 1994 because that's when students were allowed to use calculators during the test, he said. This is the third year of scoring ba..ect on a new scale intended to raise the avemge score buck to 500 and make the results more statistically sound. For comparison purposes, scores from previoos years al,;o were convened to the new scale. althoogh those for 1967to 1971 were ba..ecton estimates. · Scores had fallen below 500 in the late 1970sandearly 19KOs. The math score was 513 in 1971. and scores were higher before that. In the late 1960s, ·verbal scores were 540 and higher. Despite steady verbal and slight· ly improved math scores this year, students in the suburbs ootperform those from rural and urban areas. SAT verbal scores are 13 and 9 points below the national avemge for students in urban and rural areas. respectively, while those for suburban • student~ are 17 poin~s above. Similar score dtfferences e<tsl for SAT math. "This growing disparity is partieularly troublesome because 40 to 50 percent of African-American and Latino students who take the SAT live in large cities," Stewart said. All racoal and ethnoc students, recetved better avemge math and verbal scores this year than in 1988, e<cepl for Hispanic students, wllo had lower v~rbal scores. But whtle scores generally improved, white students still ~otthe highest average verbal score - 526 compared wtth other racoal and ethnic students whose scores ranged from 434 for blacks to 49H for Asian, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders. In math. the Asians' uvemge score wa.s the highest at 562. White students were second wtth 52H and the other racial and ethnic groups got between 426 for blacks to 483 for American Indians. This year's test also shows continued evidence of high school grade inflation. Students taking the test had a grade-point average of 3.23 on a4point scale. compared with 3.07 in ·1988. Since 1988, the population of high school students with A·plus, A and A-minus grade point averages ha.• increased from 28 percent 10 38 percent. At the same time, their SAT scores have dropped an average of 12 points on verbal and 3 points on math. " What this means is that colleges are going to continue 10 rely on the SAT as a constant bar for cornparison," Ba.,ili said. Bob Schaeffer. director of the National Center for Fair and Open Testing in Cambridge. Ma.•s., said colleges and universities should not rely on an SAT that is "profoundly gender-biased." Female students get beuer grades in high school and college, yet the average combined math-verbal score for boys this year was 1040, or 42 points above the 998 average sc= for girls. Last year, the gender gap wa.< 40 points. The rising number of girls taking advanced math and science coorses wa< cited for a slight narrowing of the gender gap on this year's American College Testing uam, or ACT. the mher national college-entmnce test taken primarily by students in the Midwes~ South and West.

GORE IN OHIO - VIce Pmldent AI Gore posed for 1 photo with flrtt gl'lderlet Cllrl10n Elementary School In Deyton after . he apokl there Monday. Gore al10 attended a fund-rlleer and spoke to a group of local Democrats at the Deyton Convention · Center during hla atop In Ohio. (AP) Students air concerns · during VP's Ohio stop . DAYTON CAP) - Voce President AI Gore got an earful when he a.•ked some elementary school students their biggest fears about the first day of school. Sever..t of the Carlson Elementary School students said they had been scared about gelling into fights. One boy said he feared someone was going to "get in my face." "Get in my face and show me what that's like," Gore said. The boy walked up to Gore and began tilting his head back and forth . But he wa.' only half the vice president's size, drawing laughs from the crowd of 500 that gathered Monday in the school auditorium to hear Gore talk about education. "The first priority is 10 have a safe and drug-free school. to have a place to learn· where kids don' t have 10 be afraid." Gore said. Carlson, which became a yearround school this year, began classes July 22. Si<th-gmder William Hinesmon told Gore the school has a conflict-management program that works most of the time. "They tell you how to break up fights and how to keep people from getting suspended." Hinesmon said. Gore later auended a private $1.000-per-person reception and spoke at a SI00-per-person r~lly at the Dayton Convention Center for U.S. Senate candidate Mary Boyle, Boyle, a Democrat and fomner Cuyahoga County commissioner, iN facing Republican Gov. George Voinovich in the Nov. 3 election to succeed Sen. John Glenn. D-Ohio. who is retiring. Gore lauded the accomplishments of the Clinton administration. "We have a surplus in our budget because of Democratic policies," he said. "We have a cleaner environment. We have 5 million more children with access to health care."
