A little over four hours later, the Senate approved the bills on a series of party-line votes. · "This is the grandest reform of education in the modem History of · Sen. Ben Espy . Ohio." Sen.

And to help make up for a decision 10 scrap a proposed 12-cents-pcr-pack increase in the cigarette tax, the Senate plan requires about $91 million in state spending cuts. Gov. George Voinovich included the cigareue tax in his school fund- • ing proposal that would have sent the entire $1.1 billion raised by a pennyper-dollar increase in the state sales tax to schools. . Senate Republicans, however. trimmed the amount of money going to schools by tacking $212 million in property tax cuts onto the $106 million proposed by Voinovich. The Senate . left intact Voinovich's recommeodcd $45 million incom~ tax deduction for educational expenses - such as tuition, fees and uniforms - at public or private schools. The package is a response to the Ohio Supreme Coun decision declaring the state's school funding system unconstitutional because it does not guarantee an adequate education for all students. The budget requirement would mean that future education budgets could be no less than the 28.2 percent share·of state spending that education got this year. "Primary and ·secondary education will be No. I in line in future budgets." said Senate President Richard Finan, R-Cincinnati. ' Democrats had a different view. "This is . hocus-pocus. voodoo stuff," Senate Minority Leader Ben Espy of Columbus said, arguing that the funding plan does not raise enough school money to comply with the ruling. A Gonnen co. Newspaper · GOP-driven proposal earns no backing from Shoemaker State Sen . Michael C. Shoemaker, D·Bourneville, whose district .includes Meigs and Gallia counties, said he is strongly opposed to the Republican plan which places the !-cent sales tax for educational funding on the November·ballot. "The Ohio Legislature has a long history of raising taxes for education and then spending the money somewhere else," he said. "The ballot issue does not designate any usc of tax dollars for programs that will help kids. The Columbus politicians win have your money before they tell you what it will buy." Shoemaker said he has consistently supponed increased funding for Ohio's schools, but maintains the ballot initiative will raise less than one half of the estimated need to comply with the Ohio Supreme Court decision. Shoemaker s~id he voted against everything, including the fiscal and academic accountability bills. He said the academic portion of the bill was good, but added that enactment of the standards hinges on passage of the tax bill. which he opposes. . He said he supports ali-day, everyday kindergarten, but not just for a few school districts. "If it's good for the biggest districts in the slate. it-ought to be good for everybody," he said.

But senior citizens will still notice big differences. In the future, they will have to take greater responsibility in managing their own care under a revamped program that includes both more coverage and mo,re payment options, House Speaker Newt Gingrich says.

In the end, negotiators decided not to charge aftlU.cnt seniors more for Medicare. not to raise the program 's eligibility age to 67 from 65, ·nor to ask a $5 <o-payment for home health visits. But few expect those ideas to go away. "I really think they ' ll have to do· it eventually," said retiree Stanley Sjosten. 85, who lives in Fairfax Nursing Center in a Virginia suburb of Washington. indeed, those issues are sure to be on the ~genda of a commission Congress and President Clinton will appoint next year to consider longterm Medicare changes.

MEARS AP Special Corrnpondent WASHINGTON - Diplomatic nom10ees are supposed to begin by being. well, diplomatic. They are customarily seen calling upon the senators who will judge them for confirmation, discreet and deferential ambassadors-in-waiting. William Weld will be in waiting for a long 111ne. In resigning as governor of Massachusetts, Republican Weld said he will campaign for confirmation to be ambassador to Me.ico. But in this campaign lbere's a constituency of one, Sen. Jesse Helms, whose opposition from the stan, three months ago, was cemenled when Weld accused the chairman of the Sen~lte Foreign Relations Committee of pUOIIIVe pohiiCS. As Weld has Sl!ld, he is not Helms' kind of Republican. He doesn't want to be. His promised fight fonhe ambassadorship may tum out to be a pial· form from which to make his political point about broadening the appeal of the Republican Panv. For the Democratic administration, a high-profile GOP ambassador to MeXICO seemed a promising idea, given the political debates over trade policy and conlrolling drug trafficking. Weld, looking to move out of the Statehouse halfway through his second term, tan for the Senate and lost, made evident his availabilily for a spot in a Democratic cabinel, and disclosed on April 26 that President Clinlon had offered him Mexico C1ty and that he'd accepled. Helms was irked he hadn'l been alened, 10 advance, and long before lhe nomination was sent to the Senate on July 23, he'd declared h1s oppos111on. He said Weld was nol "ambassador quality" and wasn' l going lo gellhe job. Since Helms can guarantee that outcome by doing nolhing, it's h1s call. Unless he relents and permus the Fore1gn Relat•ons Committee to act, Weld's appoinnnent will be in limbo. By Jilek Andlnon and Jan Moller "No more scalps." Those three words, uttered by a senior House Republican as he returned from a Wednesday morning meeting of the Republican caucus, meant the mid-summer uprising against the speakership of Newt Gingrich had officially ended. But that doesn't mean changes aren't in store for the fractured and beleaguered Republican leadership team in the House. Interviews with several House Republican staffers suggest that changes are commg though not as drasuc as the rebels may have hoP5". · When the dust senled, Newt G10grich was still speaker. probably a stronger one than he's been in a year .. or at least since his ethics problems were settled last January. House Majority Leader R>chard Armey and Majority Whip Tom DeLay, the two Texans who most egged on the rebels, also survived. But while Gingrich emerges from his troubles stronger than ever, that can't be said of the other principals. Perhaps the worst disgrace falls on Armey. the burly Texan who's been running the day-to-day affairs of the House since Gingrich became speaker. Armey tr1ed to please both factions .. and make himself speaker in the process. He ended up betraymg both the rebels and his fellow leaders, thereby assuring himself that he'll never get elected to the job he so covets. When the 105th Congress convened in January, Armey arrived sponing new eyeglasses, a fresh tan and weighing less than he did before. He had met with media consultants who adv1sed him on how to look better on television. And when the rebels first began plotling Gingrich's overthrow, Armey was in the room, urging them on. It was only afler Armey learned that the rebels preferred Rep. John Paxon of New York as their speaker that he decided to alen Gingrich.

(See KliDS on Page 5) By The A•IIOCiated Greg 'Maddux, Darryl Kile, Denny Neagle and Shawn Estes are doing outstanding jobs for divisionleading teams in the National League. None of them. however, has been more stingy with runs than Pedro Martinez. Martinez pitched a fiwe-hitter, his founh shutout of the year, as the Montreal Expos beat the Colorado Rockies 3-0 at Coors Field on Tuesday night . Assessing Maninez's chances for the NL Cy Young award, manager Felipe Alou recited a litany of numbers: · ''Earned run average: 1.80. Shutouts: 4. Complete games: 9. Wins: 12," Alou said. "I can't remember him having more than one bad outing, but I do think he's got the best changeup in the league." Maninez (12-5) struck out 13including Andres Galarraga four times - and walked one. Maninez has nme of the E<pos' 20 complete games. " The key for me was getting >head of the batters early and being able to keep the changeup and breaking ball down against their big guys," Martinez said. "I know I can pitch, not only in Montreal, but in any ballpark." With the shutout, he lowered his ERA from 1.91 to an NL-best 1.80, second 'only to Roger Clemens' 1.52 in the maJors. Maninez outdueled J~mey Wright (5-7), who allowed three runs and seven hits in eight innings. Mike Lansing had two doubles and Randell White had two RBis for Montreal, which won for just the second time in seven games. Larry Walker singled in the mnth to snap an 0-for-15 slump, and he finished the game at.382. The Rockies, shut out for the third time this season at home, were blanked only three times at Colorado in four previous seasons. . "We didn' t match up very well at all with the stuffManinez had," Colorado manager Don Baylor said. "When you're throwing 95, 96, 97 mph and changing speeds with perfect location, a pitcher is impossible to hit." Elsewhere in the NL, it was Los Angeles 3, Pittsburgh I; Atlanta 7. Chicago 2; Houston 5, St. Louis 4; San Francisco 5, New York 2; and Philadelphia 6, San Diego 5. Giants S, Mets 2 At San Francisco, the Giants stayed in sole possession of firM place in tbe NL W~st as Mark Lewis capped a five-run rally with a grand slam in the seventh inning against New York. • Brian Bohanon carried a six-hitter and a 2-0 lead into the seventh, but Stan Javier walked and Barry Bonds doubled with two outs to make it 2-1, and Greg McMichael (7-8) replaced Bohanon. Jeff Kent's walk and Glenallen · Hill's infield hit loaded the bases for Lewis, who hit a 3- I pitch into the left-field bleachers for a .5-2 lead. ~stes ( 14-4) gave up two runs on thr= first-inning hits, but allowed only two more hus in eight innings. He gave up a walk to stan the ninth, and Rod Beck got tbe last three outs for his 32nd save, tops in the majors. Phillies 6, Padres S Philadelphia got its first series sweep of the season, winning at San Diego with the help of Kevin Stocker's three-run homer. The Phillies, who have the worst ·record in the majors (32-72), have a chance on Thursday night against St. Lollis to match their loogest winnong ·streak of the sea;.on, three games. Mike Liebenhal went3-for-4 and scored twice for Philadelphia, which won a series in San Diego for the first time since a two-game sweep in April 1993. Tyler Green (1-1) got his first bigleague win since June 1995. Braves 7, Cubs 2 The Jones boys, Andruw and Chipper, combined for two homers and five RBis as Atlanta handed Chicago its sixth straight loss - all on the road. . Andruw Jones snapped out of a slump with three hiis, including a two-run homer, while ChipJ>er Jones had a three-run homer.

She's the wife who com. plained that her husband had turned into a lousy father because of the time he spent with the Other Woman .

My wifeI thinks stroke, I think had theI had flu. heat I didn't see and the doctor, so do you have any way to resolve this family discussion about my illness at this point? Answer: I have no way to be certain about the cause of your illness, but I can make an educated guess -and I think both of you have probably mi ssed the corrcet diagnosis. Influenza is not panicularly common in the summer months, and usually its sympto;,s are described differently than you described yours. I think your wife's concern over a heat-related illness is more likely, but heat stroke is a life-threatening form of this· problem. I suspect you had a less severe type of heat illness called heat exhaustion. Let me explain a bit more about these two problems. Our organs operate efficiently in a very narrow. range of temperatures , about98.to 100 degrees Fahrenheit The reason we can fu .nction well in a wide variety of environments-- from cold winter weather to the heat of · summer-- is that the human body has effective methods for controlling the 'temperature of the organs in the head, chest and abdomen. In' a warm environment the body generates more heat from muscular activity than it needs to keep the organs at their optimal working temperature . The body deals with this situation by pumping increased amounts of warmed blood to the skin where its heat can be released to the environment Additional cooling is afforded by the evaporation of perspiration on the surface of lhe skin. On a hot day you can become "flushed" due to the increased circulation in the biOOtl vessels near the skin surface, and your body may produce two quariS of sweat each hour. Wow, that's a lot of liquid! -• Normally these and other temper- . ature-control mechanisms. including air exchange in the lungs, do a satisfactory job. In some situations, however, these methods may not be sufficient to keep the body temperature down where it belongs. Proloriged exercise while in 'bright sunlight on a hot summer day -- such as you experienced -·- is one of these situations. If the internal temperature of the body increases above the optimal level, the body's organs Stan to work less . efficiently, and this can produce telltale symptoms. A mild elevation, say to a temperawre of I0 I or I02, causes some general muscle weakness, nausea, headaches, dizziness, muscle cramps and clammy skin. This milder fonn of heat-related illness is called heat exhaustion, and I think this is what you had. · . Heat exhaustion is treated by moving to a cooler place, preferably out of the direct sunlight, and consumption of a la~e amount of fluids: This and a day of rest are usually the only treatments that 'are necessary. In the most extreme cases of heat illness, the internal temperature may reach 105 t<> 107 degrees and cause serious damage to the liver, kidneys, Meigs 4-H clothing judging ·results A total of 63 4-H clothing projects · were judged last week at the Senior Citizens Center.

Riffe died at the Ohio State University Medical Center, aide Cliff Treyens said. The Scioto County Democrat who.emerged from one of Ohio's poorest counties to become a political kingmaker was diagnosed with lymphoma in May. He was 72. Gov. George Voinovich called Riffe "the greatest legislator in Ohio history." "Of the thousands of individuals who have served our state in the Ohio General Assembly, Vern Riffe. in my respectful opinion, stands the tallest,·· the Republican governor said. " In Ohio's political history, only one indtvidual earned the title . ·Mr. Speaker.'" Voinovich ordered all tlags in the state to be flown at half.staff for 10 days. Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Leland said Riffe was a major force in his l.ife. · "He taught me the importance of working hard and keeping your word and doing things on behalf of peopie," he said. · Former four-term Republican Gov. James A. Rhodes said Riffe ncv. er wavered ift hi,s love of Ohio. "' Any legislative program that was fair to taxpayers he always supported. regardless of whether it was Democratic or Republican," Rhodes COLUMBUS (AP)- After a day of political wrangling over new aca' demic standards and financial · accountability rules. 'lawmake.rs were set to work on an even tougher issue: figuring out how. to pay for better schools. The Ohio House finished work after midnight today on legislation to increase academic standards and require school districts to adhere to strict~r financial accountability pro. cedures. The academic standards passed on a 53-43 vote; the financial bill was approved 51-45. Neither bill was supported by Democrats. The academic standard; piece now goes bacl< to the Senate, where lawmakers will have to work out differences between it and a version approved there Tuesday. The financial and management piece goes to Gov. George Voinovich fm hiR signature. Both bills were designed to sell to voters a penny-per-dollar .<ale; tax increase to pay for a plan that resulted from an Ohio Supreme Court ruling in March that the state's funding phm was unconstitutional. The funding portion will be a tough sell, with conservative House Republicans balking at a $1 .1 billion tax increase and Democrats angling for more money for schools.
