While the accord. announced Friday by the EPA and New York Gov. .

"New Yorkers can now look forward to the day when Midwestern smog no longer fouls our air," Pata· ki said. . The compromise between the EPA and the states - New York, Con~ necticut. Maine. Massachusetts, New Hampshire. Rhode Island. Pennsyl~ania and Vermont - was reached late Thur<day. Last summer the slates petitioned the EPA to usc a section of the 1990 Clean Air Act to force states in the Midwcst and Ohio Valley to drastically reduce power-plant pollution.

The hosts cut the lead to I0 points by the end of the third quancr and then got to within four points with two and a half minutes left, but they could not quite reach the pinnacle. James Hines scored to open the final quaner, but Michael Anderson converted a three point play a minute and a half into the quarter to extend the Big Blacks' lelld to II. Athens then outscored the locals 9·2 over the next four minutes to get to within four points. A Doug Boyles baskel at the 4:20 mark represented the only Point Pleasant score during that Bulldog run. . Jason "Ozzie'' Pyles broke the Bulldog streak with a free throw with I :08 left to make it 49-44 and Nate Noel closed out the scoring with a basket with just under a minute left. Athens had several opportunities _in ·the final .minute, attempting at least three three·point attempts, but could not get anything to fall and the Big Blacks escaped with the victory. The game staned very slowly, with neither team able to get anythlng going fdr the first three minutes. Pyles finally broke the silence with a three point play at the 4:5) mark of the opening quarter and then added another field goal fifty seconds later to make it 5.0. Athens countered with a 7-0 run to take the lead and then outscored the locals 5-4 the rest of the quarter to push their lead to 12-9 at the first turn. Jimmy Hall got (he big second quarter off to a running start with a trey from the left comer to tie the score.

Princeton shocks No. 23 Wake Forest 69-64 By JIM O'CONNELL ,. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Princeton is known for having sman basketball players, on and off the coun.lt appears Tigers coach Bill Carmody follows suit. No. 23 Wake Forest, which trailed by as many as 12 points in t~e sec· ond half. had just pulled within two of the 19th-ranked Tigers with 49 seconds to play Friday night in the Jimmy V Classic. During the ensuing timeout, Carmody 's assistants told him to go back to the backdoor play, something the Tigers had worked effectively in the first half. but got away from in the second as the three-pointers began to fall. "Two of my assistants arc lawyers." Carmody said. "I have to listen to them ... The play worked perfectly as reserve center Mason Rocca found Mitch Hcnder.;on for a layup with 32 seconds left- Princeton's only field uoal over the final four minutes and the Tigers held 0~ for a 69·64 victory. "We had called for the play. The assistant coaches said we should try and we wercn 't going to throw it away." Henderson said. "They said let's go backdoor and sec if it works." Elsewhere in the Top 25, it was: No.9 Stanford 67. Pacific 61. Rocca, · who scored Princeton's only point that didn 't come from a starter, played only six minutes. "That last play, it just opened up for me and Mitch was there," Rocca said. "Coacn just told me to go in, run the offense and not to make any terrible plays, which is what my role . ." IS Henderson stole the ball on Wake Forest's next possession, was fouled and made two free throws with 24 seconds left. Freshman Robert O'Kelley hit a three-pointer for the Demon Deacons with 8.3 seconds left, but. Brian Earl made two free throws with 4.4 seconds left for the final margin. The loss was the third straight for the Demon Deacons (6-3), while the Tigers (8·1) were playing for the first time since losing 50-42 at No. I North Carolina. Wake Forest go'i within 63-61 with 49 seconds left on a three-pointer by 7-foot-1 sophomore Loren Woods. It wa5 the first three-point attempt of his career. "When Woods hit that shot I thought it was going to be some kind of destiny for them." Carmody said. Woods, who finished with 14 points. all but one in the second half, and 14 rebounds, felt the comeback was what did in the Demon Deacons. "It was frustrating. We were out of sync the whole first half," Woods said. "We turned up the defensive intensity and shot better in the second half but it took such an effort to get back in the game we: kind of ran out of gas at the end." Princeton played tWO • distinctly different halves, scoring repeatedly on backdoor cuts in the first half, then going 7-of-9 from three-point range in the second. "When you play Princeton the best thing they do and hurls you the most with is shooting the three. The second thing is they shoot well and hun you from one foot ," Wake Forest coach Dave Odom said. "When they're not shooting from those two places they are passing the ball and screening and that's what they're good at." Earl led Princeton with 18 points, while Steve Goodrich had 17 and Henderson added 14. "We were doing well against their man but we did well against their zone, too," . Earl said. "That's the trouble playing us. We're a good team. We're just not a little gimmick. team that beats you one way or another. We' regood aoy way you play us." Niki Arinze led Wake Forest with 15 points, while O'Kelley added 14. . A three-pointer by Earl with 8:54 left gave Princeton a 52-40 lead, but Wake Forest went on a 9-0 run with Tony Rutland scoring the last five points. . After Rutland's driving layup capped the run with 5:30 left, Goodrich and James Mastaglio hit three-pointers around a drive by O'Kelley to gel the lead back.lo 5851. Mastaglio's 3 with 4:22 left was Princeton's las! field goal until Henderson's in the final minute. "Princeton plays a style that is unique to Princeton," Odom said. "I think Bill Cannady has taken it to another level." · The game was played as pan of a doubleheader at Continental Airlines Arena to raise money for cancer research in the memory of former North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano who died of cancer in 1993.

The NBA should have met with him and given him :ui additional penalty, instead of something which could only be construed as cruel and unusual punishment. Ironically, some fans watch hockey because of the fights. Pl•yers are fined more in the NHL. for vinlentacts than in any other sport. The league is constantly trying to eliminate such acts. But when violence happen.s in the NBA, people are crying for the player's head. ' If Sprewell had played for the San Jose Sharks, he would have been released by the team and severely fined by the league. He .would. however, have been allowed to play for another team after his suspension :was over, Remember when Pete Rose pushed an umpire?

Christians thought birthday' celebrations were heathen activities and therefore th~y did not participate.

Then in the fourth cenlu· . ry, the Roman Church began to celebrate the Feast of the Nativity on December 25. This was the day of the winter solstice and a pagan day of festivity in honor of the sun in early Roman times. Christians fell that if they had their celebration of the birth ofJesus on this day thai Christianity would grow in interest by Ihose celebrating the pagan fe~ti­ val of.Satumalian that began on December 17 ani!' ran , lhrough January 1. Allhough the tradition of Christmas began in Rome, it spread throughout lhe world as ·centuries ptisl. Early celebrations of Christmas recog• nized afterlife, spirituality and sacred religious activi· ·ties. The word Christmas was firsl said to be used in · . 1050. The word was derived from the Old English :word Christes maesse, meaning lhe festival of Christ. Anolher source stated !hat the word Christmas may have been used in 1038, being derived for the Dutch word Kermis meaning Christ's mass. Although Chrislmas was recognized in Europe for many centuries before settlers came 10 America, the holiday was not recognized by· lhe English Purilan settlers who had previously outlawed Christmas fes· . tivities in their OWJI counlry in lhe 1600's.

As others came from Europe so did their belief systems with some recognizing the holiday and others condemning lhe day. · Modem day Christmas celebrations did not begin until the 1800's when the country was looking for a way to bring communities together in celebration. Churches of many' denominations began 10 invite others in their houses of worship to experience the celebration and music of Ihis day.

For moat, the eea· I appearance. Thi: images in lhese works made Santa's look emerge but it was not until 1863 that drawings of Santa were done by Thomas Nast. These drawings were published with Nast adding some of hi~ own special touches of a North Pole workshop, a book of children that were good and bad, letters from children asking for gifts and a telescope that was used to watch children's behavior. In 1889, Mrs. Santa Claus made her debut in a book written about Santa Claus. Santa's image changed slightly in 1931 when he was placed in a Coca-Cola advertisement looking taller but rounder and older. The most famous reindeer of all, Rudolph was developed in 1939 by Ro~rt May a copywriter for Montgomery Ward and Company. In 1949, Rudolph became even more popular when he was sung about for the first time. . Christmas trees came from pre-Roman traditions but trimming trees did not begin until the 1600's in Europe. Early written records·say that trees w'ere dec· orated with fruits. sweets, colored paper and other decorative items. In the early part of the 19th century, the custom came to America via the Pennsylvania Dutch as a reminder of their German homeland. Candles were used as decoration on many of the branches but this was a hazard as years of fires began to prove. Many limes, buckets of water sat alongside the trees in case of fire emergencjes. Not until 1882, three years after electrical lights were invented did a tree ~com~ lit through electricity. Another holiday tradition that came from Germany· was the start of baking Christmas cookies. The cook· ies were once molded and thea cookie cullers came into use. Some of the early German cookies were . spritz, lebkuchen, numberger and pfeffemusse. Mistletoe is another tradition that has passed on through the centuries. Although thC start of kissing . tradition is not specifically known some suggestions lo its start included thai ,mislletoe was a sign of forgiveness. . Others suggest that mistletoe is a symbol of friend· ship and welcome therefore leading to. friendly kissing under the hanging mistletoe. It has also been ·suggest· ed that mistletoe dates back to the pagan past of the holiday. Poinsettias, a native plant from Mexico, came to America by Joel R. Poinsett, an American minister serving in Mexico. He brought the plant to America in 1828 and- began distributing the plants to friends . Nurseries began to notice the planl and therefore growing and dislribution of Ihe planl began across the . United States. Another big holiday tradition, Christmas card greetings came hom the English in the late 1800's. The cards originally included drawings of families, flowers, holly, winter scenes, and birds. Religious symbols were not a major part of the card making of that 'time but as time has passed so has the imagery displayed on lhe cards. . As l!le popularity of Christmas has increased through many years, so have the symbols, customs, traditions and modern day Christmas acti•ities. Now the Christmas season starts right after Thanksgiving and lasts until the New Year.

"We have fun, but we have to be careful when we order gifts over the phone or they'll hang up on us ," s~e said. . Sarah Christmas, a high school senior in Las Cruces who is no rel~­ tion to Mary Christmas, said the wisecracks aren 't limited to the holiday season. ''We almost named our second son Noel, but we decided we shouldn't put him through that," she said. And a holiday name can be a headache at this time of year.

By MARY PEMBERTON AIIOCilted Pretl Writer BALTIMORE (AP) - Trumpeter swans vanished from the Chesapeake Bay ,nearly 200 years ago, their robust calls of "ko-ho" silenced by demand for quill pens, powder puffs and plumes for ladies' hats. Today they returned. Scientists trying to restore America's largest waterfowl to the midAtlantic by re-teaching the majestic birds to migrate have their hopes riding on five young birds that have been tricked into thinking that a bright yellow ultralight plane with an overarching white wing is their parent. The young trumpeter swans will spend the winter at a 255-acre farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore. where the three females birds arrived this morning after following the motorized hang glider II 0 miles from the Environmental Studies :it Airlie Center in Warrenton, Va. The two males will set out later. "It was thrilling to see the swans fly into the farm for the landing because it was the culmination of a journey for all involved in the experiment and for the birds." s:ud Bob Ferris. the owner of Lack Cove Farm and head of the restoration project. On Thursday, the three females and the ultralight took off at 7:50 a.m. from a cornfield close to the Airlie Center and flew 65 miles wittr a rest stop. They finished the journey this morning. Trumpeter swans "are certainly most difficult, most individualistic,'' said Dr. William J.L. Sladen. the Airlie Center's director. In 1989, Sladen teamed up with ultralight enthusiast William Lishman to "teach the more compliant Canada geese to migrate. In 1993, they completed the first ultralight-led goose migration from Ontario, Canada. to the Airlie Center, a. trip depicted in the 1996 movie "Fly Away Home ." As recently as 09tober, an ultralight painted to look like a whooping crane guided three of the endangered white birds and six sandhill cranes on a nmc-aay. 800-mile trip from Idaho to a wildlife refuge in New Mexico. The goal of this latest project is to re-establish a migration route between. upstate New York and the Eastern Shore. Migration is considered important, be<:ause birds that don't fly south for the winter are more likely to exhaust their food supply, become a nuisance to people, get sick or · freeze to death. Trumpeter swans learn to migrate from their parents. But if the older birds in a flock are killed by hunters, the young don 't kn~w where to migrate and the knowledge is forev• er lost. "We started training them before they came out of the egg," said Bob Ferris, director of species conservation for Defenders of Wildlife. a Was~ington-based group that has devoted $175,000 to the nearly $1 million project. "We played a recording of an ultralight engine so they would get used to lt." · The Jl'OUP is hoping to !'lise the rest of the money from contributions. · Seven birds hatched at Airlie in late spring. Three females and two males were chosen for the mission .. To get the birds used to the ultraliaht, researchers carried . tape recordings of the plane· s engine noise. The baby birds followed the sound. In late July, they were exposed to the real thing. When the plane rolled, they followed it. By mid-September, the birds were ready to start flying. When the ultralight rose into the air, the. birds · followed. The next step was to train them to fly to the Defenders-staffed farm ncar Crapo, Md., as a flock- more · of a challenge than scientists expected. Trumpeter swans are more stub· born and unpredictable than Canada geese. · Trumpeter swans once inhabited nearly all of North America. About ..

A perusal of the favorite Cflristmas hymns in the 1890's w0 uld indicate that the most popular carols were: "The Listening Ear of Night", "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night", "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear", "Silent Night" and "0 Come All Ye Faithful".

By SUSAN STARK The Detroit News For most directors, the job is making movies. For James Cameron, it 's more like making war, and never more so than in the last year. "All film is making war, if you ask me," Cameron says. "You're battling the elements. It's a war with undefined elements. The enemy· is entropy. The casualties are in dollars, not blood.'' So says the 43-year-old director, · producer, writer and commander-inchief of "Titanic," which opened Friday. For a good year now, Cameron has been the focus of a barrage of negative media ru~or and report. There were continuing bulletins from Titanic 's custom-built small city of a set in Rosarito, Mexico, about a mercilessly driving director and about injuries, dissention and despair among cast and crew. When the openipg date of the film was pushed back from July to .December, ail hell broke loose in the press. The film 's $200-million price tag was reported as $230 million, then $260 million, most recently $280 million. Cameron himself was widely painted as a cold, perfectionist martinet- and worse. On lhe.eve of the film :s breathlessly awaited bow, seated m a sm~l\ New Yo.rk hotel room, dressed ,m worn sport clothes, Cameron talks one-by-one to members of the press with surprising enthusiasm. And without taking a break. And without touching the club sandwich sent in for lunch and wilting under the glare of a table lamp. " The figure is $200 million, but there doesn ' t seem to be any sense of a need to be accurate about these DeMent's sound turns biting "It's the ·desire to do something that's richly textured, that catches people's attention, that's not gonna get lost in the pack," Canadian-bam, California-bred Cameron says of his attraction to big movies aiming for big bucks. " I want people to see the stuff. " But really, on a different level, it's a response to the films I saw as a kid growing up. In a way I'm still reacting to the child. To the films that swept me away to somewhere I hadn 't dreamed of. "That's the magic. That's the magic in that great big white rectangle." What films, specifically? " It was a pretty wacky time in movies when I was in high school," he says, with a quick, dry little laugh. '"Easy Rider.' 'Woodstock.' '2001: A Space Odyssey,' definitely. ' llonnie and Clyde.'

Cameron smiles, then adds this aside, perhaps calculated to belie his reputation as a bully: "They told me I had to wear a· corset, too, or I couldn't direct the movie. I said I would. But they couldn't find one big enough." As it turns out, Cameron's favorite scene in "Titanic" reflects personal values those who know and admire his work would never, could never extract from it.

By HAL KNEEN GALLIPOLIS - Ohio produce growers, did you produce three or more acres of vegetables and/or small fruit crops in 1997? Remember growers are required, by law, to pay a grower's assessment of .0075 per cent 'of your sales of these crops, not to exceed $3 per acre. The Ohio Vegetable and Smail Fruit Research and Development Program (OVSFRDP) coiiects and utilizes these monies to fund research projects. In 1996, over $76,751 of assessment coiiection funds were leveraged with $175,000 of Ohio State University and private sources to sponsor 30 vegetable and small fruit research projects.

A: No, there isn't. Opaque penetrating stains .for concrete are available •.but the color will probably last only 3to 5 years. The stain colors the top surface and, depending on the porosity of the concn:te, penetrates one-sixteenth or one-eighth-inch below the surface. It is particularly difficult to keep a uniform dark color on a concrete driveway because of the bleaching effect of the sun, the weathering, and wear from vehicle and foot traffic. Also, ifthe porosity of the concrete varies along the driveway, the stain will be uneven aod blotchy. If you want an even black color, you will have td restain periodically. Proper preparation of the driveway is important. It must be clean and dry. The' stain is applied with a garden pump sprayer. If staining and restaining at considerable expense for only a temporary solution to your driveway color problem does not appealtQ you, you might consider having a layer or blacktop applied over the concrete in much the same way that a highway department resurfaces a .:oncrcte road with a deteriorated surface. Wh.ile this would not he inexpensive, it would give you a permanently black driveway that could be kept up , with occasional coatings of asphalt driveway sealer in the same way yob would maintain an asphalt driveway.

Q: I've been wondering whether spraying a light mist of water on the cooling fins of my air conditioner would have any beneficial effect on its efficiency. I could use the unit's condensate as a source of water. A: The principle or cooling the condenser coil is a good one and is being used in many self-contained room air-conditioning units to improve efficiency. The amount or condensate available from the evaporator coil varies with temperature, humidity and house size. There will be times when not enough condensate is available. Therefore, it's difficult to evaluate any savings. Do not, however, supplement the cooling water with city or well water.

By .G EORGE ANTHAN Tha De• Moines Register WASHINGTON- Cooper Evans of Grundy Center, Iowa. has epitomized public service. An engineering graduate of Iowa State University and of the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology, Evans served in the Army infantry from 1943 to 1946, rose to lieutenant colonel in the Corps of Engineers, was a staff member for the Atomic Energy Commission .and lhe Army's general staff and was a director of advanced lunar mi ss ions for NASA. Evans was elected to the Iowa House. then became a highly respected, hardworking member of the U.S. House. After leaving Congress. he was President Bush 's White House assistant for agriculture. And, Evans is a farmer and agribusinessman . In recent years, Evans has made a dozen overseas trips as a volunteer in helping to establish free market agriculture in the old Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. He works with ACDINOCA, a consolidation of Agriculture Co-operative Develop- ment International and Volunteers in Overseas Co-operative Assistance . The organization taps 4,000 U.S. agricultural, environmental and financial professionals and business persons to help fanners in the target countries establish member-controlled co-operatives and associa· tions, considered fundamental to a successful ~ntreprcncurial agricollure system. Evans returned recently from Albania, perhaps the poorest, most mismanaged and most xenophobic of the Communist countries during the Cold War period. Albanians went into a rage when their repressive government' finally fell. They destroyed every vestige of · the old system and are suspicious or any arrangement which smacks of collectivism. "They're reluctant to join together to do anything," Evans said. They don't, for c•ample, want to hear the word " co~operative.' ' although they accept "association ." Evans's first trip to Albania, in' 1995, centered on working with parliament 's agriculture committee . "for example," he said, "they had never heard of pub I ic hearings." Albania issued about 2.5 million acres of farm land 10 peasants but the av.eragc sil.C of a fann is only 4 acres, and even those C)ft cn arc scattered. And about 350,000 acres were refused, mainly because laking title means paying taxes. "People said. 'We're living on it. so why should we pay taxes?' It 's called the 'refused land' problem ," Evans said . Evans advi sed the Alhanian gov· efnment to charge rent on that land. at rates slightly hi gher than the taxes would be. Actually. Albania hasn't had a land tax. and Evans underscored the importance of insllluli~g one, with proceeds to be shared by the local and national governments. and with a system or enforcement whic~ allows confiscation or the property when taxes arcn 't paid. Evans also was asked to help establish an organi1.ation similar to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

CINCINNATI- More eldcrl.y Americans arc being abused and neglected in their homes; and the problem likely will get worse as American society ages, experts say. R~pot:ts of domestic abuse against the elderly increased 150 percent from 19&6 to 1996 - from 117;()00 cases to 293,000, according to a report by The National Center on Elder Abuse. "There arc approximately 35 million Americans over the age of 65 today, and that number will double by the year 2030." said William Benson. acting head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration on Aging. Although only 293.000 cases were reported last year, the center estimates that more than I million Americans over age 00 were victims of various ty'pcs nf domestic abuse in 1996. That includes physical. emotional. sexual and financial ahuse . as well as neglct.:t . That's up frnrn the 1991 estimate of735.f)()() cases. 1 Data from the center's report. · t.:ompi led from state agencies. were presented last month at The Gerontological Society of America's annual scientific meeting:. l Benson said the majority of ahLse is hclicvcd to come at the hands of relatives who arc caring forthc·clderly. And many 'elderly people arc afraid to report abuse- especially 1r State Rep. Herschclla Horton, who also sits on the House Environ· mcnt Committee, said the developmcnt of a mass transit system could be a solution, allowing permanent residents and snowbirds to get around without their cars. The Maricopa County area has been given federal ran~ings of "serious" for its levels of carbon monox· ide, ozone and particulates. The stale has several years to meet various deadlines for pollution reduction, but most officials have given little hope the state will be able to meet the goals without deadline extensions. lfthcfederal pollution goals aren't met in Maricopa County, husincsses could face sanctions that would affect the entire slate.

To make repairs, the only special tools and supplies you need arc a sharp utility knife. a ruler, a wallpa· per seam roller. an anist's brush and possibly some premixed wallpaper paste. available at home centers. Get either celi"ulosc or vinyl paste, dewnding on whether you arc working with a paper or vinyl wall covering. If you arc just gluing down a loose seam, you may be .able to use seam adltesive. If you are working with a prcpnstcd covering, the most common type tnday, you may not need any paste at all. You may also need some scrap wallpaper for a patch. The most fore· sighted way to do this is to save some large scraps when a room is wallpapered. Hint: Tack the scraps to an attic or closet wall. When you use them for repairs, they won't look brand-new.

Marietta, whose downtown Iics in the city's 100-year nood plain, was put on notice last month that it is in jeopardy of losing eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program. There arc 18,000 communities across the nation panicipating in the national llood insurance program. including 86 counties in Ohio. Out of the 94 localities across the nation warned by the Federal Emer· gcncy Management Agency, 46 were put on probation for not ,complying with nood plain ordinances, said Mark S1evcns. a FEMA spokesman. Communities must . adopl strict rules to minimize the damage to buildings in nood-prone areas in order to he cl igihlc federal nood insurance. Only three of the communities placed on pr<1balion were perma· nently suspended from the prqgram, Stevens said. Lawrence County. Ohio is the only locality in the stale cur· rcntly on·probation. If a community is on probation. homcown..:-rs with flood I insurance must pay a $50 surcharge oo their annual premiums. The average cost or a nood insurance policy in Ohio is $325 annually. Cities placed on probation also might become ineligible for other federal funding lo mitigate llood damage. On Nov. 21. FEMA official Stuan Rifkind told Marietta Mayor Joseph Matthews that the city has consis· tcntly granted exceptions to its nood plain rules that "appear to have allowed unprotected development and increased the risk to life and property:" AI issue are 42 variances issued between 1994 and 1995. Rifkind told the mayor to stop issuing variances to the rules and warned that if the city doesn't attempt to cancel its mistakes, "probation or suspension from the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) will fol· low.·• The city has until Dec. 31 to pro· vide FEMA with data on why the exceptions were granted. "The bottom line is we're asking cities IO incorporate nood protection standards and enforce them," said Cindy Crecelius. a state coordinator with Ohio's Depanmcnt of N~tural Resources who visits communities to make sure they comply with nood protection rules. ··sometimes cities think they arc an infringement on their right to usc and develop ·prop· c,11y, but this is not the case.'' Since 1994. Washington County has been damitgcd by nood waters three limes. Matthews said the city is respond: inglo FEMA's request. · "If anything, I think we are guilty of poor documentation and perhaps a lillie bit of bad judgment," Matthews said. "We arc not trying to circum· vent the law. • "Many of these homes arc in his· toric preservation areas and require cx.ccssivc costs to renovate them," he rxplained. "That may not be grounds for granting a variance, but I say it is." Matthews also said he would have preferred for FEMA to make its con· ccms known 10 the city earlier, when the variances were first issued. Linda Scaio, a spokeswoman for FEMA in Chicago, said the agency first raised its concerns with com· munity officials in July of 1994. . "It's not like we .don't know Marietta," Scaio said. "We've worked with the community for :years.'' Rep. Ted Strickland, D-Ohio, said he .will make sure that FEMA offi· cials understand tbe city's views and will monitor the situation. "I want to make sure that FEMA doesn't take any enforcement action that is arbitrary or unnecessary," Strickland said.
