Most get a grade of incomplete, an education policy consultant said. Ohio lawmakers. with less than six months left to satisfy a Supreme Court ruling. got the out-of-state report card Tuesday. Linda Herter, director of policy studies for the Denver-based Education Commission of the States, testified before the Joint Finance Subcommittee. The court gave Ohio lawmakers until March 24 to come up with a plan that will ensure a "thorough and efficient" education for each child. The Legislature failed to pass a plan offered by Republican leaders that would have raised about SI billion a year through a penny-per-dollar increase in the (Editor's note-- See Jennifer Sheets' guest commentary on nage 2 today) ·i;; USED TRUCKS • USED TRUCKS • USED TRUCKS • USED TRUCKS ................................ •13,866 ..........._...,....-..... - '1.3,970 tUIIC:SUIU "414 U Herter cited cases ti'om Massachusetts. Tennessee and Wyoming. She said that while it is too early to measure progress, some of the effects of funding reforms were being felt in those states. Massachusetts, for inst~ncc. rearranged its budget to increase funding for primary and high schools. "They did some brutal cuts, especially in higher education," Herter said. She said the Massachusetts plan was part of an overall school reform program that linked the amount of state money available to whether a district passes local issues. Wyoming education officials simply came up with a computer model. "It's a tool rather than an absolute formula," Hener said. The Tennessee plan is based on teacher-pupil ratios and is being phased in as funding becomes avai)able, she said. "These three pieces of paper are all the states that have done anything. This is it," Herter said. . . Rep. C.J. Prentiss, D-Cieveland, asked Herter when the Legislature would know that the Supreme Court is satisfied with its plan. "The court says. 'Good job. Looks good. Thank you,"' Herter responded. Sen. Linda Furney, D-Toledo, said after the hearing that while Herter's testimony shed some light on what other states arc doing, Ohio lawmakers . ~=.:~: ~.~:~.~~.:.

Newspaper ROBERT L WINGETT Publllhtr CHARLENE HOEFLICH o-ral M.nager MARGARET LEH Controller case of the fat firefighter seeking a disability pension has had this southern suburb of Providence in a dither lately. It's an example of the questionable claims that public safety officials across America have been lodging in order to retire on lucrative, tax-free disability pensions . Their pro)iferation has overtaxed the budgets of many cities and towns that are already struggling to provide services without raising taxes. John D. Brown, by all accounts, had always dreamed of being a firefighter. He joined the fire depan· onent in 1982 and began as a dispatcher. By 1985, he achieved his goal and was hired as a permanent firefighter. It was a thrilling, rewarding life for him. "!loved being a fireman," he told one reporter. "I loved the I to take · ihe nozzle and go fight the fire. " But Brown had a weight problem . When he Moller and Anderaon was hired as a firefighter. he weighed 275 pounds, which was acceptable. But the weight began to climb, which impaired his ability to do his job well . "Throughout Mr. Brown's employment with the Town, he has struggled with a weight problem," Town Manager Frank L.

A "wake-up call" will come in 1999 when the State Board of Education . and the Ohio Department of Education issue local district report cards. In .' fact, we are assisting districts before this date by providing a "dry run" in ~ 1998 to test the process. We will see good news in some areas, and we will be truly disappointed with the reports from other areas. But we will all be held accountable, because we are all Ohioans. We can ignore this "wake-up call" or we can make a positive difference for the citizens of our state and our communities. We all need to be concerned with how our children and adults perform in our local school districts and in comparison with others across the state. This knowledge can and will focus the attention of superintendents, local boards, teachers. parents. and entire communities. We need to foster community Involvement. · · We must know and care how our students are perfomning. We need to be aware that no matter how our children are doing, they achieve at higher levels, especially when communities work together. We must ask ourselves, "How can we make a difference?" Accountabili: ty is the answer. : · The State Board has taken the lead with several steps that will provide more accountability at the state and local levels. I am pleased with the new Teacher Education and Licensure Standards. The Board stepped forward 'to say that we will be accountable for the educato~s in our public schools, assuring that they are well trained .and that they actively panicipate in mean-. ingful professiqnal development. We are pleased that the General Assembly adopted so many of the per· . formance accountability pieces the Board presented through its Proposed . S.tandards for Ohio Schools. We now look forward to working with the Governor and the General Assembly to fine-tune this legislation so that it gets to the heart of the issue .. ensuring every child has the opportunity to reach high levels of academic achievement. We must ask ourselves, "How will we know when our students are reach. ing higher levels of academic achievement? Accountability is the answer. :. ·• Among the changes sought by the Board is an increased emphasis on · graduation rate as an indicator of a district's performance, establishment of · criteria for "high-performing" districts, and the requirement that districts llevelop a strate~ic improvement plan. • I cannot fathom that a district, or a school. or a community would consider itself high performing, or even acceptable, if illll!e numbers of its stu: dents fail to graduate. This must change. The Board has made strong sug: gestions regarding this accountability issue. • Currently, Senate Bill treats all perfonY!ance criteria equally when . assigning one of four performance categories to a school district .. effective, · continuous improvement, academic watch, or academic emergency. Dis• tricts are categorized based on the number of criteria they meet. . The Board believes that the law as it now stands could mask serious probterns in school district. For instance, a district may fail to meet the perfor~ce indicator for math at every grade level tested and could still be iden: tilted as "effective."

Board Cha1rman Vinc~nt Marzullo. who has been outspoken about the Brown case, declared: "This action will serve as an exam· pie that we will not tolerate frivolous claims or applications that do not have merit." He and others find it surprising that Brown feels penalized working as a dispatcher since he is still drawing his lirefighter pay, which is about $4,400 more per year than a dispatcher normally receives. • While there are no complaints about how Brown performs as a dispatcher, the fat former firefighter is frustrated. He has filed a grievance in an effort to overturn the pension board's decision. Brown's claim, Marzullo continues to believe, is an "outrage" for the town's taxpayers. · Jack Andenon and Jan Moller are writers for United Feature Syndicate, Inc. Retirement Accounts. But half of families have no children. Tllree-quarter.; have no children in college. Most Americans claim no capital gains on their taxes, pay no estate taxes and exempt no income through IRAs. .So the majority of Americans benefit little from the targeted tax cuts. Moreover. the tax cuts arc rather miserly. They add up to only S17 bil· lion a year. which amounts to little more than I percent of the S1.6 'trillion in revenues .. mostly taxes .. · the federal government takes in each year. Or to put it another way, the tax cuts amount to less than $20 per household per year. If President Clinton really wants to reverse the years and years of stagnant family incomes .. which occurred mostly on his watch ~ - he should support an across-the-hoard income-tax cut. It should reduce the average family's tax burden by $1,000, which would restore average take home pay to 1989 levels. Of course, the president thinks that he has already been generous enough with American families hy agreeing ib the $85 billion in target· ed tax cuts. But that five-year tax reduction is not even one-fifth the size of the twin tax hikes of 1990 and 1993. And if ever there was an oppor· tune time to give working Ameri, cans a substantial tax cut, it is now. As President Clinton crows, the economy has sustained steady growth. Moreover, the deficit is expected to come in lower than projected this year. And the federal government is expected to be in the black sooner than the halanced budget agreement called for. ' In fact, both the White House Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office recently calculated that the balanced budget agreement underestimated revenues by .$135 hillion over the next fi vc years. If that budget surplus material· i1.cs, then first claim should go to those who provided the windfall .. the working Americans who've been paying higher taxes· during the 1990s, who continue to labor under the highest tax burden in American history.

We must take the next steps to complete our strategic plan for education improvement and also ask ourselves the hard questions as we work aggressively to flnd additional strategies.

But.Jones, Klesko, Fred McGriff and Kenny Lofton also had misplays that made all five runs off Maddux unearned. " Weird, isn'l it?" Maddux said. " Weird game. It happens. This team plays good defense, it does. " Errors are going to happen . Obviously, the timing wasn't very good." • The Braves. who won the opener in their past seven postseason series, were scheduled to start Tom Glavine today against Alex Fernandez. The Marlins were making no apologies for what hap)iened in Game ATI..ANTA (AP) - All those eeople predicting a bunch of great pitching duels between Allan~ and Florida dropped the ball. · Just like the Braves. • On a night when Greg Maddux a11d Kevin Brown both struggled, tbc Marlins made the plays and the Braves did not, giving Florida a 5-3 win Tuesday in the opener of the NL championship series. "That's basically tbc difference tonight. It was defense," Florida first b~seman Jeff Conine said . " We played a little better defensively than they did. That's all there is to it." . The wild-card Marlins, playing in their first puslse8Son, improved to 4· 6 in the playoffs. Moises Alou drove in four runs, three with a first -inning double set up by shaky fielding, as Florida showed its 8-4 record against 1. the Braves in the regular season was "Earned, unearned, who cares," third baseman Bobby Bonilla said. I)O fluke . " It's wins and losses that count. And tonight, we're winners." Braves manager Bpbby Cox knew it could've been different " If we don'l make errors, they don't get any runs," he said. "We didn'l catch lhe ball. We gave them too many outs. "We picked a bad night to kick the ball around," he said. "The first inning was a nighhnare, actually." A recurring one for Maddux, in fact. In 33 starts in the regular season, he allowed jusl one unearned run. In 157 regular-season starts since join· ing the Braves, he's pennitted only 27 unearned runs. But in 14 postseason games for Atlanta, he 's been , hurt by IS unearned runs from his usually reliable fielders.

If the Indians ' season had ended against the Yankees. there probably wouldn't have been many tears.

Many of their fans weren't alive tbc last time lhey finished ahead of the Yankees- 1954. This is what Hargrove was forced to contemplate early on Sunday evening, when he sat in his office about an hour before Game 4. "I don't know what it is," Hargrove said in a sofl voice. "I just have a good feeling about this team." A few hours later, everyone saw why. Four outs away from elimina· tion, the Indians lied Game 4 on .

(AP) Mid-American Conference Comm issiOner Jerry lppoliti has apologized to Marshall football fans for comments made about them on television. As a guest in lhe broadcast booth during the conference's weekly foot· ball telecast Saturday, lppoliti was asked about Marshall fan suppon and, in particular, aboul the school sending aboul 10,000 fans to its season opener at West Virginia despite the fact that Marshall received 7,400 tickets. " I think those coal miners got in someplace else." lpi>oliti said on the lelecast. "The moonshine wagons were flying down there someplace." The telecast of the game between Eastern Michigan and Ohio Univer· sity in Ypsilahti, Mich., was nol seen in West Virginia. lppoliti apologized in a news release issued by the MAC office Monday in Toledo, Ohio, saying he in no way meant to insult or impugn "the greal fans of MarshalL" Ippoliti was born in Wheeling and raised in Dillonvale, Ohio, across the Ohio River from Wheeling. His wife and son were born in Wheeling. ."For those who have been offended, I wish to make assurances that by no means were the ·commenls meant to be derogatory in nature. My com· ments were preceded by remarks concerning the strong suppon of the Marshall fans, " Ippolili said. · "The analogy I' drew was in poor taste and inexcusable," he said. "I'am proud of my heritage and I have · ~ very strong affection for the peop!e of West Virginia. · " Being very instrumental in the admiuance of Marshall University·,., the MAC has been one of the proud· esl moments of my professiQII-' life," he said. "The Marshall c~ munity has done an outstanding ·~ during this period." Allen McComas, a Marshall fa~ from Huntington, said he was :001 offended by the remarks. "I'm sure it was said in jest~· McComas said. "We have to laugh 1ft . .ourselves sometimes and not take some things so seriously. We all have so many more imponant things to worry about." But Ben May of Hunlingloo said he was surprised by lppoliti 's com'· mcnts. , "I'd have expected that from the MAC in the '60s, but not today, " he said. Marshall returned lo the conference this year. It was c•pellcd in 1969 for having inadequate facilities. lppoliti is scheduled to attend · Saturday's Marshall home gaiTI\: against Akron . ·· Northern Kentucky officials say Reds should stay put COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) Northern Kentucky leaders' advice to the Cincinnati Reds - stay put, there's no place for you across the Ohio River. The officials were nol enthusiastic.about comments Monday by Reds chief e•ecutive John Allen that the team will look in surrounding areas for a sladium deal . Allen said a letter from a law firm representing Hamilton County said the ballclub's latest sladium propos· al did not give any ba.•is for further talks. He. said he tuok that to mean there was an impasse, so the Reds had no choice bur to look beyond downtown Cincinnati for a deal. " I really believe it belongs in downtown Cincinnati, on the river," Newpon Mayor Tom Guidugli said. The nonhero Kentucky leaders said cost, land, parking and tradition are formidable obstacles to bringing the Reds across the river. "We don 't have a site in Covington to build something of such a size," said' Covinglon Mayor Denny Bowman . " Plus, I can' t imagine the taxpayers of Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties wanting to pas,, a tax for a private enterprise. "We' ve gol growlh going in Cov· ington, but to build a stadium for the Reds is impossible. It would wipe oul part of lhe lown. Cincinnati is where it should be!." Florence Mayor Evelyn Kalb laughed at lhe notion of lhc Reds negotiating with her city. · "Florence does not have room fflf a stadium," she said. •• "I've not had any in-depth con· versations with anyone from northcirn Ken!ucky because we were dealing with Hamilton County up until yes· terday, so it's difficult for me ty comment, " Allen said Tuesday.

For Details Wednesday, October 8, 1997 The Dally Sentinel • Page 7 : Pomeroy • Middleport, Ohio Researchers fighting cancer with cancer. By JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Preu Writer NEW ORLEANS (AP) Researchers are experimenting with using cancer to fight cancer, injecting reprogrammed cells into otherwise untreatable tumors. 1 In test tubes and in mice~ irradiattd ovarian cancer cells that have been implanted with the herpes virus gene have located and bonded to tumor cells. Once in place, the attacking cells produce an enzyme that turns toxic to themselves and their neighbors when treated with an antiviral drug called ganciclovir. ''I almost like to call them smart' bombs," said Dr. Scott Freeman, a pathologist at Tulane University Medical Center. "They 'II home to tumor deposits ... and they'll actually sit down on the tumor." Trials under way at Tulane and Louisiana State University Medical Center are a neW wrinkle in tests of "suicide gene" therapy. The therapies usually use a virus to carry genes into the tumor, an approach · that has two problems. One is that a virus hits all cells. whether or not they are cancerous. The ·other is that the body readily sets up an immune response to the virus and eliminates it, said Dr. Jay Kolls, head of the LSU hospital's new gene therapy program. "One of the things we'll be looking for is if a cell is better than a virus at delivering the gene, " he said. . .. In testing on ovarian cancer patients at Tulane and Brown University, the average survival has been 12 months for women who were not responding to other treatment and had a life expectancy of nine months. "We're not sure if that was significant or not, but it was not hurtin~ them and toxicity was minimal," Freeman said. The treatment about doubled surviva] in mice. he said. Dr. Savio Woo, who pioneered suicide gene therapy, said he hadn't heard of any work in the field that didn't involve use of viruses. "II is different. ... The advantage is no virus. But I don't know how Ch~Pain Therap1es A workshop "Chronic Pain Therapies" ..yill be held from 9 to 4 p.m. at 134 Bennett Hall at Ohio University in Chillicothe on Oct. 23. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. This workshop will provide a foundation for clinical nursing practice that uses pharmacological and complementary therapies for management of chronic pain. Issues to consider when working with high risk clients, the elderly and children will be discussed. The program is designed for RNs and LPNs practicing in varied settings. The presenter, Sharon Denham, V.S.N., is an associate prof~ssor in the School of Nursing at Ohio University. She earned her degree from the University of Alabama in Community Health Nursing and is a frequent presenter on family health issues in many slates. RNs and LPNs will receive 6.6 contact hours of continuing education credit through CHEAO which is approved as a provider of continuing education by the Ohio Nurses Association (OH-049). ONA is accredited as an approver of continuing edu- . cation in nursing by the American· Nurses Association Credentialing Center's Commission on Accredita· tion. The program is co-sponsored by • Ohio University College of Osteo-· pathic Medicine Area Health Educa·tion Center and Western Reserve Geriatric Education Center at OUCOM, The registration fee of $4 7 does not include lunch. Registration deadline is Oct. 1'6 . Late registration fee is $57. To register, call AHEC/CHEAO at (614) 593-2292 . About 100 million ovarian cancer cells were dripped recently into the space between the Rev. John Vaughn's left lung and his chest as part of the research being conducted by Kolls and Freeman. Vaughn and five other cancer patients will get a single dose of the cells followed by a week of ganci- • and taking vitamins and shark carti· : lage as well . And , as a devout Christian , he considers his requests for prayers part of his treatmen1 regimen . ''I'm using far-out sort of alternative medicine ... and then I'm doing the very cutting edge of convention- : al medicine. plus a lot of prayer and : a lot of faith," he said. • " You know, if the Lord chooSes to use these means to cure me. I'm ... issuing the invitation . But I'm fully resigned to whatever God wants." See store for details . · EASTMAN'S • 3 EXCITING. WAYS TO WIN!

The news fueled further financial market losses. A second report suggested a slower economy that may not need a dose of higher rates to keep inflation at bay. Majdr retailers reported that unsea· sonably warm weather curbed September sales, especially apparel. Consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of the nation's economic · activity. The Labor Department said today that new applications for unemploy· ment insurance totaled a seasonally adjusted 304,000, down from 309,000 during the week ended Sept. 27. It was the lowest since an identical level during the week ended Aug. 2 and marked the first time claims remained below 310,000 for four straight weeks since early 1989. Many analysts had expected claims to.edge up by 2,000. Federal Reserve Chainnan Alan Greenspan warned Congress on Wednesday that the taut employment situation could soon translate into high-. · er wages and subsequently higher prices. •27th Bob Evans Farm The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9 percent in September. It has remained below 5 percent since June and stood at 4.8 percent in May and July, a 24-year low. Greenspan said the tight market eventually could result in higher prices. "The law of supply and demand has not been repealed," he said. "If labor demand continues to outpace sustainable increases in supply. the question is surely when, not whether, labor costs will escalate more rapidly." Greenspan's warning that the central bank stood ready to boost interest rates if needed to keep inflation under control roiled financial markets. Most broad market measures fell, with the Dow Jones industrial stocks average closing down 83.25 at 8,095.06 and a month-long rally in the bond market coming to an abrupt halt. Bond prices fell further this morning. Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds rose to 6.40 percent'in early trading today from 6.37 percent late Wednes· day and a 19-month low of 6.23 percent on Tuesday. Stocks also continued to drop, with the Dow Jones average off 66.79 pointS to 8028.27 in the first half-hour of trading. Greenspan and other analysts say that so far. the inflation picture is the brightest in three decades . The next look at the pncc situation comes on Friday when the Labor Department releases the September report on the ·cost of goods just before reaching the consumer level. · . Many analysts expect the Producer Price lndc~ to inch up 0.2 percent, a bit less than the 0.3 percent gain in August, which marked a 2.2 percent decline at an annual rate so far this year. The four-week average of new weekly jobless claims fell by 2.000 to 306,750, lowest since 298,500 during the period ended Aug. 9. Many analysts pr~fer to track the less-volatile four-week average because tl smooths out the spikes in the weekly reports ..
