PolicemtJn 's killer awaits sentencing LANCASTER - A man who pleaded guilty more than two years • ago to fatally shooting a Lancaster police officer must be sentenced within 90 days, U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Merz ruled. Men ordered that John Wesley Frazier, 32, be sentencf'd for the Feb. 21, 1993, siJoo!ing of Officer Bren Malkwood. He was shot while chasing a suspect on foot after an armed robbery at a convenience store. Merz agreed with Frazier's claim that he has been placed in double jewaniY and cannot face the death penalty. He ruled that the trial court must sentence .Frazier to either life with parole eligibility after 30 ~em or life with parole eligibility in 20 yem. Frazier's case stalled in October 1993 when prosecutors agreed not to seek the dellh penalty. Prosec11tors want Frazier sentenced to life with parole eligibility in 30 years on the murder charge and I0 to 25 years for the robbery charge. The sentences would ~ served consecutively. The defense has requested parole eligibility in 20 years and wants the robbery sentence to be served concurrently. helpin&; their neighboR and welcomAcross the region, there were ing tbe National Guard and other signs of renewal and survival. relief workers when they finally In the upscale Portland suburb of carne.

He needs only write a check. ibrQush the end of 199S, Forbes had spent $17.9 million, all but SI.S million from his own pocket. On the first weekend in February, Forbes more than 500 commercials on Boston television stations seen in nei_ghbOring New Hiunpshire, the first primary-election state.

WdW , WASHINGTON (AP) ~ Steve Forbes pushes the flat tax. Dick Lugar says the answer is a national sales tax. But what separates the two Republican presidential candidates more.th•n anything·is money. . Neither registers on anyone's charisma meter. With his thick glasses and awkward manner, For~s doesn't excite voters. Lugar is Mr. Nice Guy, intelligent but unexciting. B.ut Forbes' message is everywhere, carried to the voters by mil· lions of dollars in television com· mercials. Few voters hear Lugar's message; he ·can't afford the air time. "Whatever I have to say in this situation is clearly drowned out," the Indiana senator lamented. At the presidential level, democracy is expensiv~. and publishing ran . The history of presidential poli· tics is filled with candidates who quit because tHey couldn't raise money. No big deal. But Specter wants to amend the Constitution to authorize Congress arid state legislatures to set limits on what candidates could spend. ' Specter rc~;alled that in 1'976. he was running in the GOP Senate primary in Pennsylvania against foodproducts heir John Heinz, whose· wealth was measured in the bun· dreds of millions of dollars. "Right in the middle of the campaign, the Supreme Court of the United States said any candidate can spend as much of his or her money that be or she wanted."

Here's the problem. Both Parties are run by baby boomers obsessed with instant gratification. President Clinton promised to create a New Kind of Democratic Party and overhaul government from stem to stern --all within 100 days of his inauguration. It didn't happen. '"\\ Republicans made equally wild claims when they got control of the gavel. They said we will vote to tear down the welfare system, pare down the Cabinet, torch the regulatory code,, rewrite the tax laws, neuter the liberal court "• and everybody. will love it! (WWO says conservatives don 't inhale?) Dole never liked this stuff, understanding that progress demands more than artfully crafted position papers. Where he comes from, people use such quaint terms as "hard work," "grit" and "sacri· 'fice" --and actually know what they mean. A generational rift runs through the GOP pres· idential campaign. The cast of hopefuls includes Dole, Dick Lugar and a bunch of boomers with get-well-quick schemes. Pat Buchanan will smite the sinners and comfort the losers. Lamar Alexander will revive the true federalist system. Phil Gramm will rip govemment checks from the grasping paws of weifare cheats. And Steve Forbes will double the size of our economy by installing a flattiiX. Now, I agree with each of these guys on key 'policy points,.but the mere insinuation that they can produce quick salvation ought to cause even the most· pie-eyed optimist to raise a skeptical .~ eyebrow.

WASHINGTON- A controver· . sial pro-logging bill passed by Con· . gress last year could cost the Treasury . more than $50 million and add to the ·federal deficit, according to an analy· sis by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. _· The bill, known as the timber sal· : nge amendment, has opened thousands of acres of U.S. forest1and in .the Pacific Northwest and the South to logging a~d has spurred protesters ··to chain themselves to trees. Environmentalists said Monday .the report bolsters their argument the "Emergency Salvage Timber Sale Program" hurts taxpayers as well as forests and wildlife. . ·· "What this repon demonstrates is ·that the public is losing not once but ··twice - they're being hit in the .pocketbook in addition to losing ,their public resources and ancient ·forests," . said Jim Yqung, a spokesman for the Sierra Club in Seattle. "It's a double whammy for the American public. " · . Young said he also thought it iron· ic the Republican-led Congress which l)as made reducing the federal deficit a priority - passed a bill that contributes to the nation's fiscal 'problems. . "This does exactly the opposite of their stated goals," he said: But supporters of the timber salvage legisla~on - which permits increased logging in U.S. forests from July 1'995 through December 1996- questioned the research service's findijlgs. 1 A spolceswoma~ for Sen.

"We haven't seen the CRS report, but it certainly conflicts with the information from the Congressional Budget Office," said Heidi Kelly, Gorton's press secretary. But the CBO was overly optimistic in its revenue projections, and .. i! failed to calculate costs of the lim· ber sales, said Elise Jones. an aide to Rep. Elizabeth Furse, D-Ore. . Furse requested the analysis from the Congressional Research Service. which provides information to mem· bers of Congress. "This con finned ~~ suspic_ion that, from a fiscal stan~mt,the 11m· bcr salvage legislation is taking the taxpayers for a ride," Jones said. If anything, the report is conserv· alive in estimating costs to taxpayers, Jones said. "This doesn't even include the cost of the environmental damage," she said. "We think $50 million is bad enough --. but it's only the tip of the iceberg." . Accordmg to the congressional research analysis, costs of the timber sales outweigh the revenue the gov· crnment will receive from~! ·ng deacl and dymg trees fro .S. forests to timber companies. The Forest Service may ave overestimaled the increase in fede I tax revenue that will flow to the !reasury from the timber sales, the report says. 'For one lhing, sales· of timber on private land ten4 to drop when sales on public land go up - canceling some !'f the tax revenue boosts, the analysts says.

"The past couple of games, I've been preaching unselfishness," Donovan said. "The reason we shot 60 percent was not because we were on fire. We just passed it around to get an open shot.

Marshall of the Southern Conference broke open the game with a 3418 run, going from an 18-18 tie with eight minutes elapsed to a 52-36 lead after a Lee layup with 4:20 until halftime. Lee scored 10 points in the run . Jacksonville State of the Trans America Athletic Conference got to within 59-49 at halftime, but Marshall pulled away in the second half, leading by 26 points three times, the last at 111·85 with I :31 left after a pair of Veney free throws. Kenny Soreson led the Gamecocks with 22 points off the bench, Aaron Kelley scored·20, Rusty Brand 14 and Tracy Posey II. Veney, a junior guartl. hit two 3pointers to break John Taft's season record of 82 set in 1990-91. The firstyear transfer from Lamar tied Taft·s record in the first half, then broke it with 13:21 left on a trey that put Marshall up 78-58. Taft, a two-time Southern Conference player of the year, holds the Marshall career record of 185 3pointers from 1987-88 to 1990-91.

The last eight minute's of the second period played a significant role in the outcome of the Toronto-Pittsburgh game. . Pittsburgh went on a five-minute power play at 12:26 because defenseman Dave Ellett was ejected for highsticking Bryan Smolinski. The Pittsburgh power play, rated No. I in the NHL with a 28. I percent success rate, clicked when Dmitri Mironov beat goaltender Felix Potvin with a point shot at 13:42 to tie the game 1-1. After that, it was all down hill for the Penguins as Pittsburgh right wing Glen Murray put his team in a hole with consecutive penalties. Murray was sent off at 17:48, and 19 seconds later Dave Andreychuk was credited with his 16th goal. He batted a waist-high rebound which went in off the knee of defenseman Francois Leroux. • ~uy One Dinner at Regular & ~ Price of '5.99 and get the A • lf2 p;iee Iii .

This is the : amount of area that people can take :in during a brief.glimpse. , "As people lose more and more of their visual attention ability, they gather less information per glance, and they have to scan the environment more times and more slowly in order to get the same information," Ball said.· The researchers tested about 1.500 people ages 69 to 84 and found that 39 percent flunked the vision test. Those who failed the test were 16 times more likely to have been involved in a car accident during the previous five years. In another study with about 240 elderly volunteers, the researchers watched what happened to high· risk drivers for three years after failing the test. Seventy-three percent of them had accidents, compared with just 3 percent of those did well on the test. Most states do not require elderly people to take repeal driving.tests to renew their licenses, and Ball said there are no plans to require the new vision test. However, she said some insurance companies are considering giving discounts to drivers ~ho pass the test. I don't know about you, Bunky, but personally I've had the Iowa caucus up to my eyebrows. Sure seems like the presidential situation there has had overplay. What the state finally decides will be of interest to me but I could live without all of the preliminary details.

ODOT discusses new criteria for state highway projects By TOM HUNTER Sentinel News Staff Ohio's new criteria for major highway projects will not show favoritism to urban or rural areas . and will not be based on any of the so-called "political deals" that have been mentioned in past years. an Ohio Dcpanment of Transportation official said Tuesday. The major new project selection criteria. to be officially unveiled Friday in Columbus, was discussed by Gary Joseph. chief deputy director of economic development for ODOT. at Tuesday's Meigs County Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon at the Trinity Church in Pomeroy. Joseph said that the focus of the criteria is toward completion of the state highway corridors, panicularly the US-33. US-35, and US-50 corridors. The new criteria is pan of the reorganization or funding for stale highway projects under the administrmion of Gov. George V. Voinovich. and was initiated by ODOT in April. 1995 w evaluate and select highway projects . for the four year State Transportation· Improvement Program (STIP) . Joseph stated. Area prOJects. such as the Athens !0 Darwin section of US-33 and the state Route 124/Ravenswood Con· ncctor project. could likely move up on the new priority list for constru1:tion with cost revision s and points allotted for economically distressed areas of the state. Joseph stated. During a December meeting, the ·slate project selection advisory committee adopted a policy to award points to projects which were reduced in scope and cost.

(Photos by Charlene Hbeftlch) COLUMBUS (AP) - Using a group of students and parents as _a backdrop, Gov. George Voinovich gave a State of the State speech that defended the state's school-funding system and criticized his education opponents. Voinovich, who has protected the state's nearly $1 billion rainy-day fund from legislative raids, said Tuesday for the first time that some of it should go to offset a loss of federal money for education . The current federal budget would reduce funding for several Ohio education programs, including those for disadvantaged students and the Safe and Drug-Free Schools program, he said. " If funding catfoot be found in the current budget, I am recommending that we look.hard at usi~g rainy-day fund money to guarantee that these programs continue next school year, and then put them into the education · mix when we develop our next bien· nial budget," the governor said . He did not recommend an amount . . during his annual address to the Leg- . l islature, ~ut fe'der;~l ooucation cuts . were expected to cost Ohio schools J about $70 million. Voinovich did not mention a pend- . :ing lawsuit before the Ohio Supreme . ·Coun in which most of the state's 611 ,school districts want the current systern declared unconstitutional. · But he renewed suppon for a pilot voucher program in Cleveland to let parents use public money to send . children to private schools. "For the life of me, I cannot understand why the education lobby . is lighting our scholarship program in . the Cleveland Public Schools," IVoinovich said. . "To those who would stand in the ; · •way, I say: Give those ·parents a • • lchoice,'' he said.
