That ended in October 1996. "Demand has grown at such a brisk pace, we can no longer afford to cover their share," said Michelle May, a spokesman at ODOT headquaners in Columbus. State law says.!hat excepl for freeways, ODOT is not responsible for street repairs inside municipal limits, ·even if those streets are designated as state highways. The law requires municipalities to maintain public streets within their limits and allows ODOT to repair them only if a local legislative body approves. But from 1991 10 1996, ODOT'provided one-fifth of road repair costs if local officials put up the rest from federal grant funds allocated to them. "We just wanted to help out the local governments, and at the time, we could," May said of the local government panicipation policy ODOTadopt· ed in 1991. Initially, that help cost the state about $3 million a year. Staning last year, • however, the cost jumped to about $7 million a year, May said. With ODOT officials saying that their budget for repairing freeways and rural roads soon will run a deficit. the dcpanmcnt no longer can afford to spend money on roads that are not its responsibility, she said. · Statewide interpretation of the poli cy change, however, has varied. May . said officials at ODOT's 12 di strict offices still might decide to provide the local match on a selective basis with money from their own budgets. · ODOT is not reneging on projects to which it already had promised funds as long as contracts are awarded by mid-2001. 01 APPIOVID lilAC CIIDI1' WASHiNGTON (AP) - For John Kasich, the first Ohioan in a decade to consider himself presidential material, there's good news and bad news on a magazine's Internet site with a record for predictipg winners. The good news: He's considered a serious enough candidate to make the · list on lhe " political oddsmaker" page maintained by Campaigns & Elections magazine. The bad news: At this stage in the preparations for the 2000 presidential contests, he isn 't in the top tier of prospects for the Republican nomination.

ThiS gutless pracuce started out as courtesy for legislators who couldn 't make it to the senate Ooor tn ume to debatll an ISsue. They were 'allowed to put a matter on hold until they showed up.· But over the years this courtesy has turned mto a check for which there IS no balance. About 30 or President Clinton's nominees are stuck in this legislative black hole - put there by senators who lack the courage to go public with their beef. But it doesn 't stop there. From time to time, senators have used holds to block legislation introduced by another member. Why would they do such a thing? Well, that' s the point. They're not required to give a reason. They can use a hold for any purpose, without anyone ever knowing they Wlckhllm did. If you think this is an outrage, so do at least two of I00 senators. Iowa Rep~blican Charles Grass ley and Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden have tried for months to end this secretive practice. They attached an atliendment to a sp~nding bill that would have requ1red the names of senators using a hold to be made public within 48 hours. But their amendment was quietly S!ripped before the legislation was enacted. Grassley and Wyden don't know exactly when and why it jettisoned as the bill made its way through the legislative labyrinth. Is this still the land of the freeand the home of the brave? How free can we be when scnators are allowed to act, with impunity, like petty dictators? How brave arc those who usc an arcane rule to anonymously undermine the democratic processes of government? Senators willing to stand up and he counted for what they believe in -or arc opposed to - can pubhcly filtbuster an action to death. Plotting a hold on something is an act oflegislative cowardice. A lot or senators say they are sympathetic to what Grassley and Wyden tned to do. but none has stepped forward to join them in championing the refonn they advocate. That's too bad- but hardly surprising. The Senate spent millions invesligating the fund-raising tactics or President Clinton, but chafes at the idea of substantive campaign • finance rcfonn. To allow a single, unnamed senator to effectively veto a nomination, or hill, is an act of legislative tyranny. The checks and balances that arc supposed to keep our democracy operating on an even keel are trampled every time a senator secretly puts a hold on something. "The hold has become a special tool for inOuence and leverage. It is an awesome power ... it is essentially a veto," Wyden complatned to The New York Times. Worse, 11 's a cancer on our democracy. Great nations don't collapse overnight, tlley decline slowly. ·The rot JUSt chips away at the piiIars of society until the decay becomes irreversible. In ~lassie doublespcak, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lon says thin while he understanas whitt Grass ley and Wyden are trying to accomplish, he doesn't want to move too fast 10 change this Senate rule.

Before jurors were sent home for the weekend, prosecutors showed them more than a dozen weapons found m cabmets, cupboards and above the garage of Nichols' home in Henngton, Kan . Nichols' mal on murder, conspiracy and weapons charges was scheduled to resume today, with the weapons cache the likely focus. FBI agents said the arsenal included a riOe, a gBS' grenade gun and ammumtmn. Also found were four · 55-gallon white barrels with blue rims that authorities say arc similar to those used ,to build the fert1hzer bomb that killed 168 people on April 19, 1995. Roger Moore, the gun dealer, told authorities he didn:t recogmze the camouflaged man with the p1stol-gnp shotgun who confronted h1m Nov. 5, 1994, and defense attorneys contend there never was a robbery. But after the bombing, a~thorilles say, guns matching some of those taken in the robbel)' were among the 33 found in a search of Nichols' home after he surrendered to pollee. A safedeposit box key taken in the robbel)' also was found at Nichols' home. Moore has said he didn't know Nichols but had befriended Timothy McVeigh, already convicted of the bombing. and Invited him to do work around his house Prosecution witness Michael Fortier has said McVeigh told him Nichols robbed Moore to ratse money for the bombing plot. · Fortier said he got a "red alert•: phone call shonly after Halloween in 1994 from McVeigh. warning him to watch out because "Terry had did Bob." Fortier satd he was asked to•sell the weapons for $10,000 and tum · over the money. He sa1d he sold some guns and i<ept others, smce given to the FBI Prosecutors said McVeigh and Nichols needed the money to pay for a getaway car, racmg fuel ,.motel and other expenses related to the bombing.

Steel1rs best B1ngsls 20-3 enth in eight games and assured the Bengals (3-8) of a seventh consecu· tive nonwinning season. Cincinnati, which had won two in a row, hasn't finished about .500 since 1990.. Pittsburgh remained tied for the AFC Central lead with Jacksonville, a 17-9 winner over Tennessee. The Ben gals, losers of i 2 of their Iast 14 to the Steelers, probably knew when the NFL schedule was announced this would be difficult. The Steelers Me 9-0 in November home games under coach Bill Cowher and have won II conseculive AFC Central home games since losing to the Bengals in 1995. "Sometimes, it's not very fun for a visiting team to play here this time of the year," safety Darren Perry said. The Steelers led only 6-0 at half- winning. With flurries flying and an icy wind disrupting both teams' passing games, the Steelers needed a half to warm up before KordeU Stewart threw two touchdown passes to lead a 20-3 victory Sunday over the • chilled Bengals . "I Iike it cold, but not that cold," said Jerome Bettis, who ran for I0 I yards on a day when the game·time temperature of 29 felt much colder because of the whipping . wind. .. Who--o-o, it was cold." The Steelers (8-3) won their sev- f \1 t <t, time before Stewart. who finished 11of-22 for only 128 yards but no interceptions, hit Yancey Thigpen for a 34-yard completion to set up Thig· pen's 20-yard scoring catch. That made it 13-0 and forced the Bengals to abandon a newly discovered run· ning game that had totaled 318 yards in its .last two games. "All we needed was a big play to break the ice- and I don't mean that literally," Thigpen said. Stewart IIIIer found tight end Mark Bruener on a five-yard scoring pass, the tight end's fifth touchdown on 10 . receptions this season.

I guess you could say we're clicking right now." Jones was' good, but Van Exel was perfect. He hit all nine of his fieldgoal attempts and all six of his 3pointers. "That's probably the best I've shot the ball since I've been in the league," said Van Exel, who also had a season-high eight assists. "One of the reasons why I'm shooting the 3 so good now is because the line is back farther. The distance is filling in with my range, so I'm loving it." Jones missed two pf his 12 fieldgoal attempts, drawing Van E~el's exaggerated ire. "I missed two of his passes und normally my hands are really sure, so he's a little upset with me," Jones said. "He wanted to get those two assists, so I let him down a little bit, but I'll be back for him."

"They're harassed at the Laundromat, the grocery store, walking down the street, going to the post office." Maureen Torrey said of the seasonal helpers that bring in 'the 'crops at her family's vegetable farm here. Tension has escalated in recent days amid reports of shots being fired at a farm in nearby Byron. Witnesses said lmmi'gration and Naturalization Service agents fired '"shots at fleeing migrant workers. 'INS officials said the gunfire may have come from turkey hunters. An investigation is under way. Meantime, Rep. Bill Paxon, RI)I.Y., asked Attorney General Janet Reno for a Justice Depanment investigation. ' "I am deeply concerned with the increased tension this incident has created as well, as the troubling Information I continue to hear coming from community leaders and fanners," he said in a leuer to Reno. Representatives of the New York Stale Farm Bureau had planned to discuss the situation with farmers Friday. but · heav;y snow forced the meeting's cancel·lation . INS officials say that because an estimated .50 percent of western New York's more than 4,000 seasonal workers are in the country illegally, agents have reason to act. Since March. about 550 illegal aliens have been arrested, authori· ties said. But the INS denies allegations · that agents rough up the minimum· wage workers during raridom spot ·checks for paperwork.

Back home with his country preparing for NATO, the young officer found that in today's Czech anny that's pl'icious little. After four years at America's famous military academy, Lt. Petr ·Vohralik reported home for duty in July. wanting to make a difference. NATO was about to make history by issuing invitations to former Soviet bloc enemies ~oland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Now, the 25-year-old scorns the Czech NATO aspirations he once espoused. The cash-starved and illmotivated army is not ready to join the high-tech NATO club, he says. He has filed to resign his commission. "A few months ago, you would have seen me happy." he says. "Now, I just try to survive and keep my sol· · diers from feeling as bad as I do." The Czech, Polish and Hungarian armies have acquired some of the nght trappings for NATO - Westem-style uniforms, English lessons for officers and commitments to democracy. But weapons and c,ommunica· lions systems are outmoded and funds for new ones short. Worse still is the legacy of Soviet doctrine and training. Vohralik has West Point degrees in computer sciences and electrical engineering as well as U.S. Army leadership training. But that never prepared · him for the money and morale 'problems of the Chrudim base, 60 miles east of Prague.

Franklin Kramer, a deputy U.S. defense secretary, criticized the Czechs in September for maintaining. Soviet-era structures - too many colonels and not enough junior and noncommissioned officers. .

By NIKI KAPSAMBELIS Associated Pras Writer PITI'SBURGH (AP) - Like the trucker-sized breakfasts warmly depiczled in the opening scenes of his latest documentary, Rick Sebak mak.es films that are fast, cheap and loved by many. They are the comfort food of television: pleasant, not too taxing and very, very filling. Sebak, a producer for PBS affiliate WQED Pittsburgh, used his folksy approach with his latest subject, Pittsburgh's Strip District, that lies on the tlat ribbon of landalong the Allegheny River. The film will air on PBS Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. EST. In " The Suip Show," Sebak's camera noses into stores along busy Penn Avenue in a neighborhood teeming with produce yards, restaurants and ethnic grocery stores that have been around since the turn of the century. The film ignores Bare Elegance, the Strip's sole strip club. "Even if you think there isn't a sense of commUnity in America anymore, here is an ex'ample of a place where it felt like there really was a community that worked and got along," Sebak said. Without his film. who would remember Dec. 17, 1936. the day an explosion 11 the Pittsburgh B111ana Co. rained the pulpy yellow fruit ov'er St. Stanislaus Church? Or the Duquesne, the short-lived car manufactured in the Strip in 1912? "I often say that these could somehow be considered home movies for the .city," said Sebak, who also writes, directs and narrates his own work. "They're more like home movies than Ken Bums documentaries. They're less serious and more the kind of stuff that you want to sit down and watch." That coziness has landed Sebak.'s work on public TV, in an era when most documentaries only reach relatively small cable audiences. Betsy McLane, executive director of the International Documentary Association in Los Angeles, said PBS wants "audience ratings, just like anyone else in television." " It's not experimental filmmaking. It's not, for the most pan, challenging or politically threatening," sh'e said. At any one time, only about 4 percent of U.S. TV setstumed on have a PBS station on the screen. Sebak 's "Downtown Pittsburgh" broke WQED station records with 16 percent ,i n November 1992. Now comes "The Strip Show," filmed over 15 days in October 1996 -just in time to be sold locally last year as a Christmas stockina-stuffer. But whll really mlde PBS take notice wu lhe way people bought tapes of Sebalc's other shows. Two films on bygone western Pennsylvania landmarks, "Things That Aren't 'There Anymore" and its sequel, "Stuff That's Gone," were packaged together and .marketed nationally in a PBS catalog. They were so popular t~at other stations staned to copy Sebak's format, and a trend was born. Copycat programs bega~ to appear in other cities. About 40 PBS and commercial stations around the counl!y have made a show imitating "Things That Aren't There Anymore," which also is sold in nationtil book and video chains. Current, a newspaper covering public TV and radio, reported that a $9,000 clone of "Things That Aren't There Anymore" and a sequel earned almost Sl million in pledges for WHYY, the PBS station in Philadelphia. The newspaper called Sebak "the progenitor of the shared-memories genre" and compared him to ~ ·Roger & Me" filmmaker Michael Moore, "only not as mean." New York Ci.ty's Daily News called Sebak "a brainwasher, becaule you can't watch one of his effervescent films witbOIIt having a very suong urge to follow in his footsteps and experience firsthand the places he presents so compellingly." Like Sebak 's other Pittsburgh films, "The Strip Show" is unpre· tentious and has tbe feel of an old friend showing you around the city. There are no ~xposes, and people appear friendly and eager to share their stories. "I set up, I would say, maybe a half to 60 perGent of the things. and try to leave enough space in the shooting day that we can just find people," Sebak said. "Some of those stories are" tbe best. the ones you just stumble on." There is tbe man who quit his job as a telephone company executive so he could make biscotti all day. There is Henry DeLuca, who proudly displays the two bauered skillets that fried 2.9 million eggs at his restaurant. "It's not like an artificial place, it 's real," Sebak said. "And I think that appeals to cveryhody." With his recent success, Sebak has proposed two national shows to PBS- one on the history of hot dog stands and· another nn old amusement parks.

There are seven independent English-language magi\Zines. Lei's start with the Cadillac of them all, The Bridge World. This monthly publica1ion unapologetically aims at the top players •. and · it succeeds adminibly in that mission. This Bridge World deal highlights an ·imponant facet. of defensive play. Look only at the West hand. Your right-hand opponent opens one notrump and is raised to game by the responder. Wba1 is your lead? As North didn't use Stayman, it is probably better to select a major. However, with this layout, if you pick either minor (the diamond eight or club seven), you defeat the contract ·-assuming partner, when in with the heart ace, makes the right return. Starting with a spade might be right. Yet it might give declarer a free trick if he has the king. Also. it might nOI be too late to switch to a spade later in the play. By process of elim· ination, I think a heart lead is best. . But which heart? . I play ·that leading a low card .. here the two or three (partner will not read the three as high) ·- shows an honor in the suit. So, you should lead the heart nine. If you start with a lpw heart, partner will win with the ace and return the su~t. giving declarer an basy nine tricks. After the high-heart lead, though, East should win with the ace and switch to the spade 10: his high· est em:!~ because you need three or four tricks from the s.uit.
