Bu1 another message- about the value of condoms - appears to have reached increasing numbers, say researchers from the Centers for Discase Control and Prevention at the I lth international Conference on AIDS. 1lle Nat1onai Youth Risk BehavIOr Survey. which includes an average of 12,000 students every one to two years. found about 53 percent reported ever having sex in both 1990 and 1995. researcher Janet Collins reported Tuesday. Other studies suggest rates of teen sex rose through the 1980s, so stabilization can be seen as good news, Coilms says. But "certainly, we wculd have liked to have seen declines." By contrast, condom use among those having sex rose from 46 percent to 53 percent, with young women and blacks reporting more noticeable increases, Collins says. But the surveys picked up a trend noticedbefore: Condom use declines as teens get older, with about two-thirds of sexually active ninth -graders and one-half of 12th-graders taking the precaution. Collins speculates that older students switch to birth control pills or other methods that protect against pregnancy but not sexually transmittecldiseases. Robert K11ight of the conservative Family Research Council in Washington 5ay~ the results suggest teens ' are getting !langerous mixed liltssages: "The abstinence message i1 15eing undcnnined by the condmr message when the two are combined ... That's not a hippy picture." But other CDC researchers hen say different teens need different messages.

Meanwhile. industry officials stand accused of hiding evidence of lnbm.:co's potential to cause heal!h problems ·anJ lying to Congress about it . Ami this summer tobacco has surfaced as an issue on the presidential campaign trail as well. To highlight tobacco-industry con trihutiuns to the Kepuhlicans. Demonatic operatives this summer sent a character knnwns as "Butt Man" to shadow GOP presidential hopeful Bob Dole. And then Dole further inllamed the matter by appearing to question whether tobacco was really addictive. The cor11inuing focus on the issue hrings glee to anti -tobac( o fon.:cs . "This is the lirst presidential campaign in which smokmg has been an issue. much less a major issue," said John Banzhaf, a law professor and executive director of Action on Smok ing and Health. a Washingtonbased anti~ tohacco lobby. Banzhaf said the public can expect to hear more ahout tobacco in ,congressional campaigns as well . "We almost have a new political surgeon general's warning : Accepting tobacco industrY money can be hazardous to your political health," he said. While some political ohscrvcrs main uncertain of tobacco's staying power as a political issue. they agree that anti -tobacco forces have definitely been winning the public relations hattie recently. " It (tobacco) is going to be a little like pornography - it 's going to be OK to do it in your own homes but that 's about it," said Stephen Wayne, a specialist on American politics at Georgetown University. "Even bars arc becoming smoke free. '' But tobacco ts still very much an issue in -Congress, as memhers face inncasing questiom ahout tohacco contributions to their campaigns as they deal with tobacco- related i'iSues in legislation. Between 1986 and 1995, tobaccorelated contributions to the political system totaled $20.6 million . Four members.from the Tri state were among tire top IS recipients of funds from tobacco PACs over that time - Sen. Wendell Ford. D-Ky .. ranked fifth with ~76,057 : Rep. Jim Bunning, R-Southgate, ranked seventh with $72 ,450: Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. , ranked ninth with $67,500: and Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind .. ranked 14th with $58,500. Other Tristate recipients included Reps . Lee Hamilton , D-Nashvillc . Ind. ($18,700): Stc~e Chabot. RCincinnati ($6,250): Rep. Frank Cremeans ($5,250!: John Bochner. KWest Chester ($31,506): and Sens. Mike DeWme, R-Ohio ($33,000) and John ,Glenn. D-Ohio ($1 ,000). Critics of the tobacco industry contend it is out to buy Congress. But Tristate members say the innucnce of the campaign contributions is overstated .' Polls find Perot e~try into race has little impact on Clinton lead By LAURA MECKLER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - President Clinton maintains his solid lead over Boh Dole with or without Ross Perot in the race. accordmg to two polls released Friday. In a Time-CNN survey. Clinton leads Dole by 15 percentage points in a two-man race, 53 percent to 38 percent. With Perot on the ballot. Clinton's lead is statistically unchanged, taking 48 percent to Dole's 32 percent for a 16-point margin . Perot would get 13 percent. Another poll released Friday suggests a slightly tighter race but still little impact from a Perot bid. Clinton lcaJs Dole by II points hcad ·to-hcad, according to an EPICMKNMitchell survey. With Perot in the race , it 's 43 percent for Clinton, 33 percent fur Dole and 12 percent fm Perot. These arc the first polls since Perot said Wednesday he would run for president under hi s Reform Party 11' nominared. Tile survevs were conducted on Wednesday ,;nd 11utrsday. The Time-CNN poll also asked about Richard Lamm, who said Tuesday he would seek the Refonn Party nomination . The poll portended an up hi II battle for Lamm, who is largely unknown outsi~e Colorado, where he served 12 ,years as governor. He had just 4 percent of the national vote in a three-way race. · The Timc-CNN poll had a margin or error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points: the Epic poll 's margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. While both the Dole and Clinton camps predicted this week that a Perot candidacy would help Clinton, these poll s don't bear that out. " It sounds to me like having these guys (Perot or Lamm) in the Moderates cheer plank on abortion race really doesn't make·a whole lot of difference," said Larry Hugick, director of political surveys for Princeton Survey Research. which does independent polling for Newsweek and others. Other survey findings: • Clinton's strength among women remains solid, leading Dole 54 percent to 34 percent in the Epic poll. Among men, it's even. • Just 45 percent of people who voted for Perot in 1992 say they would do so again , according to Epic . • Clinton's lead in the Time-CNN poll widened compared with the last poll done for Timc-CNN, which had the race narrowing to 6 percentage points. That poll , conducted in June, was out of line with other national surveys at the lime. Kentucky members, in fact, speak proudly of their contributions because of the importance of the crop to their constituents. "Big tobacco companies have been involved politically on both sides of the isle for a long time," added Bochner, the chairman of the House Republican Conference, the · fourth-rankmg leadership position in the chamber. · Over the last 10 to 15 years. Bochner said, "you ' ll see that Democrats have actually gouen more money than we have gotten." Chabot added, "Just because we receive money (from tobacco PACs) docs not affect the way I vote on issues , But campaign cash is far from the only tobacco-related issue stirring on Capitol Hill . W1th every passing year, the government programs designed to aid tobacco farmers come under increasing attack . The most recent 'test of the tobacco lobby 's strength on the House noor came June 12 when Rep Richard Durbin, D-111., proposed an amendment to do away with with federal crop insurance and extension services for tobacco fanners : The amendment narrowly lost, 210-212. ptompting tobacco critics to cite it as more evidence that the political tide is turning against the industry. Bunning, Portman , Boehner, Hamilton, Chabot and Cremeans, however. all voted with the tobacco farmers and against Durbin. "I think that is a silly way to get at the issue," Portman said. "If you want to go after the tobacco companies don 't go after the small fanners who need help." Another issue looming over Congress is whether to allow the FDA to regulate tobacco as a drug. None speaker louder against this idea than Kentucky representatives. "I am totally opposed 'to giving the FDA any ability whatsoever to regulate tobacco," Ford said. "My view is the FDAs 'should concentrate on its core responsibilities - approving new drugs and medical technologies to help those who need them- instead of declaring war on Kentucky's tobacco fanners," added McConnelL ~ C'--" llud • Page A3 WASHINGTON (AP) - Presidential <Ctmdid;tte Boh Dole's new aburlton language lm the GOP platform is drawing fire frum the most outspoken on both sides, but it 's winning favor from a cross-section of Repubhcans eager to avoid a convention showdown . Dole aides and GOP officials hope the new w~rding - which preserves the party 's strong anti-abortion plank but adJs language advocating " tolerance " - will avert a bitter floor fight at the party gathering in San Diego next month. Rep . Henry Hyde: R-111., a longtune abort tun Inc who is chairman of the party's Platform Committee. praised Dole's "good-faith effort"lo bridge internal Republican differences. "I will include this language in the draft document that will go to San Diego." 'Hyde said Friday. And New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman. who supports abortion rights. said that while she remains troubled by the anti -ahortion plank , " I hope Sen. Dole's statement on tolerance is accepted as reflective of the broad range of ideas that encompass the Republican Party." Her views seemed to echo those of many mainstream Republicans eager to avoid a hitter lloor baltic 011 this most d1v1sivc of i ssue~ fa<.:ing the party. Still. some pro-abortion rights Republicans registered regret. "I am extremely di sappointed," said Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine . " I regret the failure to understand the extent to which this plank has had a chilling effect on the women of America. And I will continue to work to change it." And, while some majo, anti-abort.ion groups hail ed the new language , defeated GOP presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan said. through his sister .and campaign manager . Bay Buchanan. that it did not go far enough . ' If the plank is not modified, "we will fight to alter it or to replace it " to delete any direct link between abortion and "tolerance, " Bay Buchanan said .

His trial is scheduled for August. State law requires that the health department analyze samples of each new batch of solution before certifying to police departments that it has the prorer mixture of water and alcohol. In the Workman case, the health department's lab "did not have any wriuen protocol, had conflicting stan· dards and a lack ofrigorous scientific review," Taylor wrote. Health Department spokesman Randy Hertzer said Friday that solutions - including the one in the Workman case - were retested by independent experts or laboratories and met all scientific and legal crite· ria for approval. The retesting was done after lab Director Leonard Porter wrote a memo in January in which he said 19 batches of solution might be at a different mixture than certified. Porter later resigned. Taylor's decision could influence other cases throughout the state, said Christopher Cicero, a lawyer representing Workman. "I think what we've done is show that there was a lack of trustworthiness in the way these solutions were certified," Cicero told The Columbus Dispatch for a story published Friday.

MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. - A weakened Bertha plowed north into Virginia Saturday after crashing across North Carolina's coast and damaging what might have been a peak summer weekend in the Caroli:nas. · "Losing one day in July is an ceo;nomic disaster," said John Bone, -executive vice president of the Out:er Banks Chamber of Commerce. Hu...-icane Bertha raked North Carolina's coastline Friday with winds gusting to 118 mph. pushing surging water over sand dunes and washing out beaches and piers, toppiing trees and power lines and submerging scores of homes in seawater. About 250,000 vacationers abandoned heaches for safer land. But by early Saturday, Bertha was downgraded to a tropical storm, its top sustained winds having dropped to 44 mph. As of 3 a.m., the storm was about 45 miles southwest of Norfolk. Va .. and quickly weakening as it aimed for Chesapeake · Bay.

A tropical storm warning was in efl'ect from Virginia to Massachusetts, and officials along the East Coast were preparing for minor flooding. A motorist who ignored warnings to stay inside was killed Friday in a traffic accident in Kitty Hawk, N.C., the ninth death blamed on the storm. In New Jersey, a surfer was killed after the hurricane sent drenching rain and high winds up the East Coast. In North Carolina, almost 140,000 were still without power Saturday, and inland hotels and shelters were filled with people who were forced off the beaches. . Bertha's winds snapped power poles and blew the roofs off numerous homes on Emerald Isle, one of the beach villages on Bogue Banks. The island is a sliver of land with clusters of beach cottages and rental condominiums that spans 25 miles between Camp Lejeune and Cape Lookout at the southern end of the Outer Banks. A mandatory evacuation was lifted for Dare County's beaches on the Outer Banks at 6:30a.m. Ocracoke Island remained isolated with no power and ferries still not running.

But for those who theorize ,,that the rese~;Vcd, 72-year-old Dole . might want a surprise to complement .'him and juice up his White House bid, Kasich, 44, is seen as just that.

At the Swansboro waterfront just west of the island, businesses were under 5 to 6 feet of water. Not far to the north, at Cedar Point. homes were one-third to one-half submerged. With both bridges to the island closed Friday, tourists and residents who sought refuge inland could only wonder if their beachside paradises had toppled into the sea. "When you lose your·beach, you lose your horne. You can't sell it. Better to have a fire, better to have a tor· nado. You can insure for that. But if you watch it fall in, you get nothing," said Pat Webb, who left his oceanfront condo for safer ground. In all, more than 250,000 vacationers abandoned the Carolina beaches because of Bertha. punching a big hole in the economy in an area where seasonal businesses depend on every sunny summer day to make up for winter doldrums. The 175,000 tourists who fled South Carolina's Grand Strand would have generated $14 million a day. officials said, and Bertha blew away $4.5 million a day in sales along the Outer Banks alone. Last year, Hurricane Felix came in mid-August and disrupted business along the Outer Banks. It took until this summer for the nearly 2,000 businesses to recover lost sales, said Bone of the Cbamber of Commerce.

Lawyers for !he couple announced Friday that they have agreed to end their marriage , almost 15 years after millions watched their spectacular wedding at St. Paul's Calhedral and their shy kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Diana will never be queen and will lose the coveted title "Her Royal Highness." but she remains a princess and instantly becomes one of the world's most eligible women. Her financial senlement was nol disclosed but The Sun, the tabloid that broke the story of the final agreement, said she ~ill gel a lump sum of $26.35 million. Charles gets his freedom. Although aides have said he has no immediate plans to remarry, his old llame Camilla Parker Bowles is now also free. The modern -day fairy tale romance of the beautiful princess and future king held end less fascination . But the real story of Charles and Diana's marriage was more like a lragedy: a mismatched couple whose problems were magnified by life in a relentless public spotlight. In a candid television interview last fall, Diana said the marriage began to founder after the 1982 birth of their fir.;t son, Prince William. She fe ll into postnatal depression, injured herself and look comfort in !he bingeand-vomit cycle of bulimia. She said her husband's family saw her as manipulative and .temperamental and decided she was "unstable" and "mentally" unbalanced" labels she said stuck through her marriage. When Charles renewed an affair with Mrs. Parker Bowles in 1986 Diana said !he marriage became "~ bit crowded." By 1987, she and Charles were effectively leading separale private lives, but '"we were a gond, gond learn in public." Charles admitted in 1994 to having had an affair after his marriage broke down. Diana also confessed to having an affair with retired army officer James Hewitt, whom she says she loved. The divorce culminates years of reports on the troubled state of their marriage, ranging from best-selling t I books to tablotd stones leaked by friends to television interviews that riveted an internatio.nal audience.

Easton ruled the boy couldn't help in his defense against charges of assault wilh greal bodily harm and trespass in the April beating of 1month-old Ignacio Bennudez Jr. The case is now on schedule to be reviewed about every six months . The 6-year-old, who did not attend the hearing Friday, will remain at a group home, said his lawyer, John Burris. · Burris said he will a.•k that charges be dropped but wants to ensure the boy will receive treatment. "He is a child that needs intensive therapeutic treatment, and I am prepared for that to continue as long as lhe doclar says he needs il - and thai 's indefinitely at this poinl," Burris said. The boy and 8-year-old !wins allegedly broke into a neighbor 's apartment in April to steal a tricycle. While there, ~uthorities say the boy viciously beat Ignacio. The baby survived but doctors said he is likely to suffer pennanent brain damage. Prosecutor Harold Jewett said Friday !he baby is doing well, but 111s too early to judge how full his recovery will be.

The IOC's biggest underwriter is Coca-Colo. Bulthe committee said it was just looking forward 10 the 21 sl century rather than backward to !he 19th and before. IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch agrees. He says: "We l!ave.always reacted in a timely fashion, to resolve issues, make appropriate amend· menls to our resolutions and keep in step wiJh the modem world by intro- ducing new concepls." , For 1996, !he innovllive IOC hu added four medal evenls to the: Olympic roster. Two are ~onlpeli·: lions for women in soca:r and softj ball. The others are mountain bikin~ . and beoch volleyball for both meli: and women. In facl, women are emerging: more than ever as Olympians. ' Nearly 4,000 women will corn- · pete at the Summer Games - a 40 · percent rise over the number laking part in Barcelona four years ego. The American team has 388 men · (57 percent) and 287 women (43 percent). Bul U.S. representative Anita DeFranlz is still one of jus! seven women on the 106-member IOC.

Remember Sheryl Swoopes·> She was the player of the year for Texas Tech when it beat Nancy Darsch's Buckeyes for the national championship in 1993. How about Rebecca Lobo? She's the 6-foot-4 center from the 1995 Connec ticut championship team that won 36 games without a loss . What about Dawn Staley from Virgini a, Nikki McCray from Tenn essee, or Lisa Leslie from Southern California? Believe it or not, this team is a veritable Who's Who in women's basketball. It 's also one of the best-kept secrets in America . Some of these girl s are beuer-known in Europe, where they pl ay professionall y. This Olympic team will be a major boost to the future women 's league heing planned in this country. If profess ional soccer deserves another chance in the American market, certainly we have room in our collective hearts for women's basketball. Don't be surprised, however, if the competition is better than you expect. Women's basketball is far more competitive worldwide than the men's game. The professional leagues give our opponents an advantage most Ameri can players don't enjoy after coll ege. Eve n though the women have won 51 straight games, they beat the Russian team by only one point, and trailed hy 12 points tn the second half to Can ada. Although both games ended in victory, such res ults in the men's competition would be an embarrassment to the U.S. and the NBA. Unfortunately. the future of women 's professi onal basketball will depend on thi s team 's abil ity 10 win the gold in a convincing fashion. Anything less would spell doom for the league before it got off the ground. Americans embraced and cheered the 1980 gold medal hockey team . Afterward . Madiso n Avenue opened our eyes to !he excitement in an already established profess ional league. Even though America did not win the 1994 World Cup gaines, our performance helped to establi sh interest in the MSL. No qne expects us to win in soccer. Basketb al l, however, is our game' We don 't accept or forgive defeat. Co nsequently. the U.S. women's team carries a he~vy burden on its shoulders. A victory can give hope to future generations of fem ale athletes. from grade schools to colleges. Everyone loves a winner.

The night was supposed to belong to Utah Jazz players Karl Malone and John Stockton, but the fan favorite by the end was the shortest player on the court, 6-foot-1 point guard Shane Heal. . Heal, shooting from as far as 30 feet, nailed eight three•pointers and scored 28 points - the most by any of the Olympic team's four exhibition qppol)ents. Real also· got involved in a scrap with Charles Barkley that was broken up by the referees. It was one of two altercations that gave the game a meaner edge than the Dream Team had experienced before. At the end, though, Heal and Barkley exchanged smiles and laughs after a second half that was violence-free. Reggie Miller led the U.S. team with 19 points on 6-for-6 shooting.

Barkley entered the fray later in the half when he barreled into Heal as he buried his founh three-pointer. No foul was called, and Heal bumped Barkley and yelled at him on the way back upeoun . Seconds later when a timeout was called, Heal and Barkley scrapped near center court and had to be separated by the referees. Barkley had a fistful of Heal's jersey and refused to let go.

(AP) Kipketer turns down offer to run for Kenya , By STEPHEN WILSON ATLANTA (AP) - World 800meter champion Wilson Kipketer today turned down a last-minute offer to run in the Atlanta Olympics for his native Kenya. The Internati onal Olympic Committee said Friday that Kipketer, who has lived in Denmark for the past six years, could run in the games as a member of the Kenyan team. "He says, 'No,"' IOC sports director Gilbert Fe lli said today. " He wants to compete for Denmark . He sees himself as Danish. Un fu nunately, the Dani.sh do not sec him as Danish." Kipketer, who has bee n based in DenmarK since IIJIJO, qual ilics for Danish citi zenship next year. Until then, he is ineligible unde r the Olympic Charter to run for Denmark. " We've given him his chance," . IOC director general Francois Carrard said. "We've done our best." Friday's offer was worked out by the IOC executive board with the , support of the national Olympic commiuees of both Denmark and Kenya. The Kenyans have insisted all along that Kipketer could onl y compete for Kenya in Atlanta. The Danes proposed this week that Kipketer be allowed to run under the Olympic flag, but the IOC rejected th at so luti on. World track's governing body, the Internat ional Amateur Athletic Federation, ha.< different eligibility rules than the IOC. Kipketer ran for Denmark in last year's world championships and won gold in the 800 meters. While IAAF regulations would prohibit Kipketer from running for Kenya after representing Denmark, Carrard said IOC rules would prevail at the games . Kipk eter would have been the gold medal favor ite and a threat to break Sebastian Cue 's 15-year-old world record of I:4 1.73. Earlierthis week, Kipketer ran the fas test 800 meters in II years ( I :42.5 1). Kenya already has the maxill)um number of three athletes entered for ihe 800 in Atlanta. Had Kipketer acce pted the IOC deal , one of th ose runners would have had to be humped to make way for him, or the Kenyans would have needed permi ssion to enter four athletes.

Sunday, July 14·, 1996 ' I . • SCHEDQLE OF 1996 OLYMPIC EVENTS Officials blame Bowe's camp for starting melee in Garden By LARRY McSHANE NEW YORK (AP) - The only person not blaming Rock Newman and his entourage for the post-fight rioting that rocked Madison Square Garden is Rock Newman . 1 Eyewitnesses, city"61-ficials and officials at Madison Square Garden are . blaming the hangers-on in the ·Riddick Dowe camp for the melee . But Newman. Bowe 's manager. insisted Friday that he is not responsible for the nationally televised carnage that followed Bowe's fight with heavyweight Andrew Golota. "I did not participate in it or encourage in any way people to conductthemse\ves the way they did last night ," said Newman, whose past post-fight conduct belies his claim. ·He's been involved in at least two simi lar incidents since 1991. The Thursday night melee, which started in the ring and spread into the stands, resuiled in 16 arrests, 22 inJuries and yet another low blow for the beleaguered fight game. The fight raged for more than 30 minutes before more than 250 police officers and Garden security personnel managed to restore order. Two of the suspects jn custody and a third at large were members of Bowe 's entourage - and all three had criminal records, pollee com missioner Howard Safir said . The trio, including the man who sprinted across the ring to club Golota with a walkie-talkie, were identified from videotape of the fight . he said. The man with the walkie-talkie, identified by police as Jason Harris, .< urrendered to police Friday and was charged with second-degree assault and criminal possession with a weapon . Another man named Steven Bowe was charged with third-degree assault. a misdemeanor, but police could not confirm that he was related to Bowe. " It was a complete breakdown.in security at the Garden, .. said Marc Ratner. executi ve director of the Nevada Athletic Commission . "This was the worst thing I've seen in sports.'' Newman , Bowe's manager, could also face criminal charges, Safir sai<f Newman entered the ring shouting and pointing at Goleta- a gesture that some took as a call for others to follow. Newman said Friday that was not true. Gov. George Pataki said the New York State Athletic Comm ission is reviewi.ng tapes of the incident and will be interviewing corner people to see what happened. "We will be taking vigorous action against anyone licensed by the state who participated in this," Pataki said in Albany. MSG president David Checketts vowed that anyone convicted in connection w1th the brawl would be · banned from the Garden for life. If that included Newman and his fighters. Checketts said, "So be it." Banishment from the Garden wou ld be a cruel blow to Bowe, a native of Brooklyn. The Garden, which re-entered the fight business last year after stag- OLYMPIC SPORTS ing fights only sporadica)ly since 1982, will continue its boxing assp. ciation, Checketts said. The next card is scheduled for Aug. 13. The brawl started after Golota, of Poland, .was disqualified in the sev·enth road for repeatedly landing low. blows. A group of 20 people affiliated with the Bowe .camp some in his corner, others seated behind it - then flooded the ring, witnesses said. "There_was a wave of humanity." ring announcer Michael Buffer said. " I didn't even try to get in the ring. There was no security ringside." The initial group of brawlers apparently received credentials or tickets from the Bowe camp. "This was precipitated by people inside one fight camp," MSG vice president John Cirillo said . Fighting then spread into the crowd, with scores of Golota supporters waving Polish !lags and squaring off with Bowe backers. Safir said there was no indication that the tight was racially motivated. Garden olficials did not call for police until at least five minutes after the fighting broke out. As a national television audience watched on HBO, the combat raged on while announcer Jim Lampley scrambled from ringside to safety. Lampley went from play-by -play man to concerned parent, wondering on the air if his 16-ycar-old daughter, Brooke, was safe amid the melee. The teen, as well as the rest of HBO's crew, escaped' injury, HBO spokesman Ray. Stallone said. There were some terrifying tableaus amid the waves of violence: A man in his wheelchair getting knocked lo the ground. Angry men liftin g and tossing chairs across the Garden . Trainer Lou Duva, flat on hi s back with chest pains, getting kicked by an unident ifi ed attacker. . "I was half-screaming and halfsaying, 'Get him out of there! "" Duva's daughter. Denise, said Friday. Denise Duva, echoing Garden officials, said the Bowe camp clearly started the fracas. "We saw Rock run over and shout something at Andrew," she .recalled Friday. "Then we saw somebody else with Newman throw a punch , and someone else with a Riddick Bowe shirt start bashing Andrew over the head. " When Lou Duva tried to intervene, he received a jolt from an implanted defibrillator that regulates his heartbeat, his daughter said. Duva, 74 , was released Friday from NYU Medical Center after spending the night. It was not Newman 's first postfight brawl. When Bowe fought Eli· jah Tillery in /99\, Newman grabbed the other tighter around the neck and yanked him over the ropes. Tillery landed on the head of a boxing commi ssioner seated ringside. Newman and another man attacked Associated Press photographer Doug Pizac after the BoweHolyfield fight in 1992. Pizac needed a dozen stitches to close a gash on his face . Ceremonies Aq~tic:s-Dlving It's est imated that3.5 billion peo. pie, ortwo-thirds of Earth 's population. will see the Summer Games on television in 74 nations. For the right to present the Centennial Olympics to U.S. viewers, NBC paid a record $456 million. It's spending another $100 million to produce the extravaganza, fe aturing over I0,000 athletes in 26 sports. But the famous NBC peacock will still dive into black ink, even after flashing its Olympian bankroll of more than half a billion dollars. Sponsors are paying NBC nearly $700 million to air their commercial s. At peak moments during the Olympics, more than 100 million Americans are expected to be tuned in across the country. Eighty-five percent of al) lhe households in the United States likely will view at least some of the Games. No wonder the commercial time sold for over $1 million per minute. Will there be a red, white and blue ad glut ? Apparently not. Soaring rates for individual commercials actually have enabled NBC to limit the impact of advertising on its Olympic telecasts. During the 1988 Summer Games 111 Seoul, NBC averaged about 15 minutes of commercials per hour. It cut that to I0 minutes per hour during the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Nine minutes is the estimate lor Atlanta. After all, NBC hopes to keep viewers watching for 17 days. The vital ingredient for the ·network is its 78 hours of prime-time telecasts from Atlanta.

Rain and lightning threatened the runners. But the worry faded when she grabbed the torch and ran with it for four minutes in northern Kentucky, on the approach to Cincinnati. "I do think the rain and lightning added a dimension to it," she said. "The torch lit up, it didn' t go out. I ran faster than I ever did before. The adrenalin kicked in." She bought the $275 torch she carried and has it at home. " I think it was one of the big thrills of her life. really," said her father, radiologist Dr. Aaron Wein - stein. "One, to be remembered . Two, to be a part of.something that has been covering the whole country." Her father got involved in diving administration in the 1970s after his wife, Shirley, a swimmer, recogn ized their daughter 's talent and got her started with a diving coach at age 8. At age 9, the then-Barb Weinstein won her first state 10-and-under diving meet. At 13, she fini shed sixth in the nation in a 3-meter springboard diving meet in Houston. At 17, she learned platform diving and her amateur career took off. She was a three-time national champion in the I0-meter platform event, four-time collegiate champ at Ohio State Universi ty and later the University of Michigan, and winner of a 1979 gold medal in the Pan Amcncan Games before making the U.S. Olympic team at age 22. Her father, as pres ident of United States Diving in 1980, was one of about I ,200 voting members uf the U.S. Olympic Committee. He and others voted to back Carter's decision to stay out of the Olympics. Weinstein has since has second thoughts. "That was her one shot, and I didn't even help give it to her," he said. Nomoto lauds Miami University's swim facilities OXFORD, Ohio (AP) - The coach of a Japanese Olympic swim !earn practicing at Miami University said the school's swimming facilities are better than those his team uses in Japan.

That's the message I gave to our football team in our meeting last May." There are several reasons for the high expectations: - The Bengals won seven games last season, one more than in the two previous years combined. - Quarterback Jeff Blake and receiver Carl Pickens turned into one of the most dangerous passing combinations in the league, with both going to the Pro Bowl. Cincinnati had the lith-ranked passing attack in the league . - Running back Ki-Jana Carter is expected back from a knee injury that wiped out his roolde season and left the offense one-dimensional. - The worst pass defense in franchise history has been shored up by three free-agent defensive backs.

(AP)- In the springtime, tribes around the Northwest reverently place the bones of the first salmon of the year back .in the water to assure their continued return. What · if the fish never come Jlack? As salmon runs plummet, argumenls for restoring them revolve around cultural and economic costs. Without the salmon, the center of the i-eli"gion of many Northwest tribes "would be a memory. More than $1 billion in estimated economic spinpiTs from commercial and sport fish.iitg would go somewhere else every year. · What about the biological effects? · .What 'if salmon could no longer :Overcome the myriad factors causing declining runs- too much fishing, .dams blocking rivers, logging, graz.ing,development,hatcheriesdiluting the gene pool. Would the Northwest lose more than a symbol of courage imd rebinh? Scientists studying the issue say yes, and they are starting to measure the po!enlialloss. Their conclusions reflect what used to be just common sense: that salmon are the very circle of life, returning to mountain streams the organic matter washed downstream to the ocean. . In life, salmon are the .primary food for resident killer whales in Puget Sound. In death. their carcasses feed animals from shrews to bears, sparrows to eagles, and even insects and other fish. The decomposing nesh fertilizes the trees along the streams. • "The salmon is the one animal that penetrates the whole Northwest ecosystem, from· the mountaintop where the eagle takes the carcass to feed its young, all the way out (in the Pacific Ocean) to the Japanese Current," said Jim Lichatowich, a fishcries consultant. A fonner assistant chief of fishcries for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Lichatowich now lives in Sequim, Wash., where he is working on a book about the history of salmon management on the Columbia River. He also serves on an independent panel of scientists assessing salmon restoration. "Wild salmon are a net energy provider, a net · energy benelit, to their watersheds," he said. '"fhey capture that energy in the ocean and bring it back and deposit it back in the watershed." Some .people are asking whether more wild salmon than are necessary should be allowed to return to their native streams just to reproduce another generation, because their carcasses are so important in recharging the ecosystem. Until recently, the common sense of the ecological value of tons of salmon carcasses couldn't he supported by science. Bob Bilby, an aquatic ecologist for the timber giant Weyerhaeuser . Co., tracoo isotopes of nitrogen and carbon from dead salmon into insects, other fish and even the trees growing in the riparian zone along the river. His work was done on Grizzly Creek, a tributary of the Snoqualmie River in Washington. · Jeff Cederholm, a salinon biologist for tbe Washington Department of Natural Resources, tossed 900 salmon carcasses from hatcheries onto eight streams on the Olympic Peninsula ..( ':'"'1' .

I; and Dixie Me.lody Boys 7 and 9 p.m., July 30. JAMES HOUSE James House writes songs that slice to the core of life's emotions. As a Grammy nominated songwriter for Dwight Yoakam's "Ain't That Lonely Yet" or Diamond Rio's "In A Week Or Two," House has found a way to get to the essence of what he's writing about with a directness that's almost startling. "l;m restless," he Sf!~• "I'm always searching for the truth in everything, even if it'l ilot1what I'm living at the moment. I can be in love and still write about hurting pain, because I've got friends who're going through it." You can write about what you sec, because you really feel for the people you care for. Even though it's not your pain, it's some· thing you experience through empathy. And maybe, you get a clearer perspective because you're not just blinded by the emo· tibns." ' On Days Gone By, his Epic debut, House takes all that living . and observing and boils it down into a polaroid of life and feelings of an honest man. Produced by Don Cook (Brooks & Dunn; The Mavericks), Days Gone By is a far flung album that marries the intluences and emotions of House into a unified picture of a man trying to get through the daily grind. House credits his insight into human experience to his upbringing. His mother was from Oklahoma, and his father was from Kentucky. As a small boy singing cowboy songs on his grandparenu ranch in Klamath Falls, Oregon, music was a fiber of his existence. "''d spend every summer up there, baling hay, herding cattle, spreading manure , fixing fences, whatever needed lo be done. I mean, I used to drive a tractor when I was 6 or 7." he recalls with a laugh. "And I tan remember my dad and his brothers singing all those old cowboy songs with the four-pan harmonies. Tumbling Tumbleweed' and Rogue River Valley' were the kind of songs I was raised on. My dad even taught me to sing ' Cattle Call' when I was little, which was very hard because. of the yodeling." His parents eventually moved to Sacramento, where his mom checked grocenes and hts dad sold insurance. While young Houses's musical inOuences broadened, but it was still country music that reached inside him . "We lived maybe 60 miles from Merle Haggard. I was always listening to music : Buck Owens, Jim Reeves , Johnny "Cash, George Jones, Roy Orbison, Many Robbins -- and laler Ronstadt, the Engles, Van Mo"ison, Waylon and Willie." House drifted to Los Angeles to write songs. But once he got there, he realized the.best and most heartfelt songwriting was coming out of Nashville. With a few demos under his belt -- including "Hard Times For An Honest Mann" he hit Music city in 1988, and has been exploring the depths of his inspiration ever since. . He made two albums for MCA containing "Don't Qu1t Me Now" and "You Just Get Better All The Time." After leaving MCA. House took some time to get back in touch with the reason he originally came to Nashville: writing songs. "When I was betwten record deals, I really got to focus and it was such a gift," he begins. "I fell in love with writing shuffles for the first time . I practiced my guitar and learned bluegrass. I even learned how to play songs I loved the ri~ht way, instc:ad ?f,the way I'd always faked -· and there's a lot to be said for not fakang 11. , THE BLUEGRASS \JPRISING ' James Housa The Bluegrass Uprising is a traditional band originating from ,.....__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _..., Letcher County in Southeastern Kentucky.

By DOROTHY SAYRE My son recently needed some surgery on his leg; it wasn't too serious but any surgery requiring general anesthesia is serious. In fact, anytime a child of anyone's needs surgery, it is very serious to the parents. George stayed "home alone" while I new to southern California to be with Clayton. I flew into Burbank Airport, rented a car, and drove northward to the high desert. It wa.• a lovely, sunny day and the temperature was in the high 60s. TraOic was light in mid-afternoon and moving along with the freeway traffic at 70 to 75 miles per hour, I was at his apartliltlll in about an hour. Clayton had just arrived home from work and hadn't yet removed his tie. He showered and changed clothes and ~drove to one of his favorite res~s. in his town of over I00,000 pcopfe, to have the famous steak sauce he had been telling me about for months. We had a wonderful steak dinner and a tour of the large. two-restaurant building where one side was extremely popular but casual. The second side had sawdust on the Ooor, and was the type of establishment where the management cuts neckties off with scissors at the door. I suspect it was even more popular. The next day Clayton was off for work by 5:30a.m. and I was disappointed to sec I could tell the color of his kitchen floor. I mean, don't mothers like to be needed'?

The last time I was there, I had reveled in mopping his lritchen floor flve times before it was up to my standards; however, everything had been neat and tidy. Now, there I stood in a clean bathroom And a kitchen that looked clean, anddusted. (Oh yes, when I first arrived, he was running the vacuum in his shirt, tie, and dress slacks so the apartment would be ready ,for my arrival.) Well, as any woman knows, if you look for housework, you cun find it. Yes, he hud some laundry I could do and then I had iron ing to do for him. Somehow, ironing clothes that aren't seen every day is not quite so awful as ironing your own. Also. as he was having s urgery the nut duy and wouldn't be wearing dress shirts while he was off work, the ironing would stay ilone. He doesn't own an ironing board, though. Every dny he irons a shirt on his kitchen counter with pnds of towels. It took a little longer for me, hut it worked . Then I went to the grocery store to buy needed items for his favorite meals. The next day his surgery was scheduled for II a.m. and he hod not been able lo have anything by mouth since the previous evening. Of course, in deference to him , I didn't either. At 12:30 p.m.. I was beginning to be a little nervous because no word 'had come out of the operating room , when his surgeon popped out to say Clayton was line and I could see him in a few minutes. Five or ten minutes later a recovery room nurse came to lead me to his bedside. Before Clayton or I could hardly say a word. the nurse announced, "He can go now." We were home by I or I: 15 p.m. I could not believe the hurry to di.lcharge patients and get them on their feet again . As Clayton is nearly si~ feet tall and is a weight-lifting , muscular ISO pounds, I wa~ no use as a crutch to him as he reeled around in the parking lot, down the sidewalk to his apart· ment buildinJ, and up the stairs. I do think his discharge was a bit premature. He had to remain off wort 10 days, and he was only in the hospital from 10:00 a.m. until shortly .before I p.m. I figured he had already used the hospital bed sheets,· so they could, and should, have kept him until he "sobered" up a bit from the anesthesia.

SMOKING ARMADILLOS It must have been a really bad fight The kind that makes a big sister stop the car and tell her little brother he can walk the last three miles home from school. But looking back, it was actually a preuy good light. Because that day when Josh Graham was loping alongside Highway 155 outs ide of Bakersfield, he got an idea. That idea turned out to be the first step toward a dream. A dream now known as Smokin' Armadillo~ . A band born by the side of the road , that never asked for directions, that just found its way. The Smokin' Armadillos never played clubs, and they didn't cut demos. They put on concerts, and released their own independent CD. Those independent CO's new out the door, over I00,000 of them. Their MCG/CURB debut album, is scheduled for release in early '96. Meanwhile back at the ranch , when Josh finally arrived home, he • MR. AND MRS.

DIXIE MELODY BOYS When the Dixie Melody Boys won the Singing News Fan Award for "Favorite Newcomer-Group" in 1988, Ed O'Neal, who joined the group over 30 years ago, had to be more than a linle surprised. Ed O'Neal joined ~he Di xic Melody Boys in 1961 and a couple of years later, became the sole owner and manager. The group was soon nominated for a Grammy Award in the late 7's for their "Sending Up Some Boards" Album. They traveled and sang Southern Gospel Music for 25 years until the mid 80s. It was then that the Dixie Melody Boys charted a brand new course into Christian Country Music, a field which was almost non-existent.

RICK TREVINO Merging the best of his hispanic heritage with tbe legacy of traditional country music and the potentiality of modern country sounds, Rick Trevi'no, 23. may be blazing a path to country music stardom. Rick's first No. I hit, "She Can't Say I Didn't Cry." came exactly one year after the release of his debut single, "Just Enough Rope,'' followed by "Honky Tonk Crowd." "By the time "She Can't Say I Didn't Cry" came out, we had already toured the Midwest, West Coast, Northeast and Southeast. opening shows for Hank Williams Jr.," Rick recalls. "We worked very hard. and to finally see that song go to No. I was a real emotional high for us." Rick says about the success of "Doctor Time," "It's really had an impact. It's almost like a signature song, and I don't mind singing it the rest of my life." This early into his career, the third-generation Mexican-American has already made some country music history. His first single was the first traditional country single to be released in both English and Spanish versions. The bilingual balladeer initially recorded his first Columbia Records album in both languages. The Spanish album "Dos Mundos" was released on Sony Discos Records while Rick and producer Steve Buckingham came up with a few different songs for his English .album. Although the Spanish album went gold in Spain and was popular in such American Tejano regions as Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, Rick's main thrust has been in the country world. Rick's new album "Looking For The Light" offers a rainbow of diversity, ranging from hard-core country to Cajun and Tex Mex styles. "Every ballad has a very unique sound 'to it," says Rick. ... ~ 1704 Eastern Ave., Gallipolis, OH 45631 (614) 446·7795 Refrigerator Purchase ·FREE Ice Maker. Select Model ' j ', �..

Museum auctioning off beer of the pharaohs By ANTHONY JEWELL Associated Press Writer · INDIANAPOLIS (AP)- Some people will do anythmg for a bottle ol beer TI1e Indianapolis Museum of Art hopes some are willing to pay anything. The museum is auctioning three bottles of Tutankhamun Ale, a BritishR!ade beer purportedly made from a 3,250-year-old recipe of Egyptian beer makers. Only I ,000 bottles were brewed, and three were donated to the art museum to be auctioned off Friday night and Saturday. " We have just three bottles," museum spokeswoman Anne Robinson saod. "They're the only three available in the United States. I have no idea how much somebody would pay for it." The beer's story reads like an Indiana Jones movi ~. Archaeologists from Caml>ridge University 's Egypt Exploratoon Society joined with ScottiSh and Newcastle Breweries sox years ago, when the team uncovered a massove kotchen compleK in the Sun Temple of Queen Neferti ti , a relation by marriage of King Tut. The archaeologists exammed grains and seeds left behond by anctent brewers. and the dregs of beer from excavated jars were analyzed to deter·mine how the beer was made. "Even the pure water of the desert wells was analyzed," said Jim Merrington. Scollosh and Newcastle's project director. "We studied tomb paintings. deciphered (hieroglyphics) and excavated I0 or more l>rewing rooms m the quest lor the liquid gold of Tutankhamun." In reconstructing the recipe: Scottish and Newcastle brewmasters used cmmer, an ancient wheat grown by the Egyptians. and coriander, an herb found in the Nile region. The brewery said enough seeds were grown to create raw materi als for only 1,000 bottles of the beer. The first Dottle sold 111 England ror ahout $7.200 and the rest sells for about $75 per bot tle, Scottish and Newcastl e officials said.

HODGES The Detroit News For his part. Boston University 's Richard Landes waits uneasily for the rooster to crow. Not a superstitious man , Landes nonetheles s views the upcommg rollover to the year 2000 with some apprehension, as befits a medoeval htslorian whose specialty is the original millennium. Landes defines the rooster or roosters in questoon as the chansmatic opportunists - visionaries, psychopaths or holy fools - who might harness the anx1ous gloom that's become the American mood at this century 's end and do, well, God knows what woth it. . "I think we're in for a very rough ride," he says by phone from hos Boston ofllce. " I just hope the constitutional boat holds together." If this sounds ominous, Landes isn't alone. Roben Appel, who's researching a book called "The ¥cLuhan Mollennoum " for the McLuhan Center in Toronto, argues that "all the elements are in place for millennium mania. "All it will tak.e," he says, " is one strong news event in the next couple years that can be made to fit a millennium prophecy, and \he cat will be out of the bag.

Turns out there's a !historical catfight (those wacky medievalists!) pitting those who 'think Christian Europe was gripped with fear and ecstasy in the late 900s against those who argue that the written record - which is sparse indeed - just doesn 't support it. Legend hypes tbe "Terrors of the Year 1000" as one of mankind's great anxiety attacks, when European Christians abandoned crops, sold tbeir kitchen gear and prepared for the Second Corning, tbeir "mouths agape and their eyes aname," in the dismissive words of tbe great 1920s satirist H.L.

And well he might, since religious authorities never were entirely certain whelher the great date would usher in Christ's thousand -year reign of JUstice, or :_ buying St. Augustine's argument that said the reign began with Christ's birth the final battle, with Satan released to confront the forces or good in Armageddon. Luckily for Sylvester and his nock, wben the millennium dawned at the stroke of 12, everyone was still there. The smiling pope led hi• grateful people, so the story goes, in a lusty Te Deum. "Claptrap," snaps Peter Stearns, historian and dean of tbe school of humanities at Carnegie Mellon University. "A whole batch of French medievalists worked on the "Terrors' in the 1950s," he says from his Pittsburgh office. "The best indications suggest that our one precedent for tbe millennium is a dud." Landes, author of "Whole God Tarried. Disappointed Millennialism and the Geneology of the West. " argues otherwise, noting two huge pilgrimages to Jerusalem right around the year I000, clearly organized ·to witness Christ's return to the Mount of Olives. More intriguing, Landes argues, one can find signs of End Time anxiety on tbe Peace of God, a popular movement around the end of tbe lOth century that brought together huge crowds of ordinary people in towns and countryside to venerate holy relics. What's key about tbe Peace or God, Landes says, is that it " mobi lized this mass emotional energy," yielding deliberations in which pressure was to bear on the aris- • tocracy and tbe warrior ciBSs to limit their violence and spare innocent civilians. "They took tbese oaths on the relics nghl in front of the crowds," he says. "In my mind, we're talking a sort of social conlract- really tbe first time in a long while that Christianity had been on tbe side of the little people." In addition to harnessing emotion, he says. the Peace of God succeeded in generating solutions to seemmgly intractable political problems. Landes isn't sure similar hopeful tides aren't gathering as we speak, citing hopeful events like last summer's Million Man March. "That's wbere I see tbe significance of tbe year 2000." Landes says, "because one thing anticipating tbe apocalypse can do that few other religious beliefs can, is mobilize mass emotions." The.end of an era of covered bridges· Q By JAMES SANDS Spec:llll Correepondent after a downhill run and a sharp tum. Some wagon drivers did occasional: ly fail to slow down enough to make tbe turn and end up part way down tbe bank. The Woodruff Bridge was built in 11160 and rebuilt in 1888. According to Miriam Wood, writing in tbe Spring 1996 edition of tbe "Oallia County Glade," the Woodruff Bridge was proli>ably by Wood and LAwless on the traditional multiple kingsposl truss design . "Strong pioneer hands fashioned it from oak timbers, IBSting and fit, and hung it o'er 'Little Raccoon's · flow, full three score years and ten ago.

It was the bridge where hundreds passed to and fro. the millstone and village there are gone, the bridge was left to stand alone, tho' its burdens seemed the greatest, workmen now have laid it down, and a new bridge is the latest." So wrote Gallia native A.O. Sailor in 1940 on tbe occasion of tbe tearing down of a covered bridge in Huntington Township. In thai same edition of the Ga/li{J Trmes where According to Wood, tbe multiple Sailor's poem appeared, Harry Hurn kingspost was the most commonly lamented the passing of tbe covered used design in Ohio and in Gallia bridges of tbe county, wondering if County.

For instance we read 1n the Gallipolis Bulletin Sept. 15, 1885 that the editor lambasted the County Commissioners for not replacmg the covered bridge over the Chickamauga Creek on the Chillicothe Road with an iron bridge. Such structures had already been built over l1~~JS~-~.,~c Mill Creek in 1877 and J on the Portsmouth Road over the Chickamauga about the same timt.
