Property tax valuation, on which the bulk ofa school system's funding is determined in Ohio, plays the most · imponant role in such understanding, Carey noted. But he pointed out that while schools in the Columbus suburb of Dublin operate . on 51 mills, most classrooms in his district operate on slightly more than 20 mills, not because "the taxpayers do not care less in poor districts - they cannot afford to pay 10 to 25 mills more." Due to low property tax yields for schools, 11 of the 13 systems in Carey's district receive equity funding- money supplied to bring those districts up to a more even playing field. "In talking with superintendents and school boards, they appreciate the equity funds but are concerned about the stability of such funds," Carey said. "It makes it hard for them to plan." Noting how contrasts in per pupil spending between Dublin and Vinton County have impacted significantly on ninth graders' passage rates in proficiency testing, Carey said that within the 94th, "it is hard to draw" the same con<;lusion in district-by-district comparisons. . Fairland Local Schools had a 71 percent p~sage rate but spent the least per pupil at $4,333.

The 1:43 a.m. blast at the compound startled police, who took cover behind trees and against walls with their guns ready. But there was no movement within the darkened home, and no indication that anyone was injured. . It was not kno:ovn if the explosion was accidental, and police officers gave conflicting accounts about whether it occurred inside the house or on its grounds. A 10-foot wall surrounds the compound. Released hostages have said the guerrillas told them the roof of the home and the area immediately around it is mined, and that the rebels carry backpacks with explosives rigged to detonate if they pull cords. Immediately after the explosion, a Red Cross worker, looking worried, left the compound and walked hurriedly to a public telephone where he made a call. He made no comment to reporters. The explosion was.the first sign of activity sihce the Tupac Amaru rebels, who stormed the house during a Dec. 17 diplomatic party, released a sick hostage Wednesday afternoon. They are holding 104 other hostages, having released mQre than 430 since the crisis began. Slumped in a wheelchair, 34-year-old Japanese diplomat Kenji Hirata was helped by Red Cross workers and a Roman Catholic bishop who had entered the diplomatic compound earlier to celebrate Christmas Mass. · The rebels, who want the government to free hundreds of jailed comrades, have kept !hose people they consider most useful in any bargaining process. They include two Peruvian Cabinet ministers, police generals and members of the Supreme Court as well as six ambassadors and dozens of Japanese " · . businessmen. . The government has shut off water, electricity and telephone service to the diplomatic residence, which is surrounded night and day by heavily armed police. Bishop Juan Luis Cipriani, an ally of Peru's president, spent six hours inside the Japanese ambassador's home on Wednesday. There was speculation he was sent by President Alberto Fujimori despite the Peruvian leader's public refusal to negotiate for the release of the hostages. Cipriani said nothing about his time inside the hquse, except that he would hold a news conference later today. . . Fujimori publicly has ruled out talks, but some obserVers speculated Cipriani did more than hold a Mass for hostages. "I think there are clear signs" that Cipriani's visit was part of a government negotiating strategy, said Javier Diez Canseco, a leftist congressman and former hostage. A Mass doesn't take six hours, he noted. ~;census Bureau ban.ks on response to television commercials :!. By RON FRENCH ~· ·rThe Detroit Newe . . 2.. ,·.

It's the first time the Census Bureau has used prud adverusmg. In the past, : '~American Advertising Council created free ads that were ·aired as pub:'' lie service announcements.

"Instead of (free) ads running between 2 and 5 a.m., we can pick our spots," said Kim .HigginbQtham, public affairs specialist for the Census Bureau. "We hope it will be more effective and productive." For $100 million, it should be. "That's massive," said Jim Osterman, Southeast editor for Ad Week magazine. By comparison, Nike spent $131 million on advertising in 1995. And Nike has Michael Jordan and a slew of well-paid celebrities. In 1990, with no taxpayer money spent on advertising, the Census estimates it counted .about 98. percent of Americans. With a count of 248,718,301, that means about 500,000 people were missed. Even if the $100 million campaign resulted in every one of those missing people being counted, the government would have spent $20 per additional person. "That's a pretty hefty sum," Osterman said.

"The fact that he doesn't support his children shows just how reprehensible the man is," said Vince Murovich of Pittsburgh, attorney for defendant Terrell Coon of Waynesburg, Pa. "He doesn't have a sense of obligation to do the right thing. He's motivated obviously by money," Murovich said . After their divorce in 1990, Richards was ordered to pay $600 a month for the support of their -two children, but he paid nothing for four years, Ms. Richards said. . Richards began making payments "...... after they were reduced to $100.54 a month about three years ago, she said. But his ability to pay grew while he was on the FBI payroll as an informant during the 16-month investigation. The FBI paid Richards $2,000 a month for a total of about $30,000, accordinp: to the ~tovemment. He also received $18,000 from June I to Oct. 11 for contract work in an alternative fuels program at West Virginia Unive~sity, officials said. "I'm interested in getting for my children what's due them," Ms. Richards sllid. . Richards is currently under FBI protection at a secret location. He has declined requests for an interview. The state Department of Health and Human Resources has never dealt with the prospect of a deadbeat dad relocated by the government, said spokeswoman Ann Garcelon. If Richards is accepted into the federal Witness Protection Program, then his Social Security number would be changed and the state agency would have no hope of tracking him down, she said. As of Nov. 1, Richards owed $24,536.10 in back child support and $8,637.46 in interest, for a total of $33,173, she said. But David Thrner, spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, which oversees the Witness Protection Program, said it works to ensure plrticipants meet their child support obligations. value out of the ad campaign. "If the paid advertising works and we get a 100 percent count, it's a benefit to everybody," Higginbotham said. "Federal grants for programs are tied to Census figures. The placement of new schools and highways is based on Census figures. The better we know where people live, the better their needs can be served." · That's far from the opinion of Bill McMaster, state chairman of Michigan Taxpayers United and president of McMaster Marketing and Public Relations in Birmingham, Mich. "It's another waste of money," McMaster said. "It's an impossible task. They're trying to convince people to be counted who don't want to be counted." That's not stopping advertising firms from seeking the lucrative government contract. . . • 1 Crash story corrected Due to a reporting error, a froot page story in Tuesday's Daily Sentinel about a three-vehicle accident at the intersection of State Route 7 and County Road S (Bradbury) mistakenly identified a Rutland area woman as being airlifted to Charleston Area Medical Center with injuries.

The Zesident pointed out that he had campaigned against 209 and was pleased that his Justtce Department would help the light to declare il unconstitutional. · That sounds logical. It is not logical. It is one thing for Clinton to oppose 209 and to campaign against it. Fair enough; Clinton's stand on affirmative action was "mend it, don't end it." He claims that 209 would end it. (Proponents believe it will end preference, not affirmative action.) But it is quite another thing to say that even if a majority of Cal· ifomia voters cast their ballots for 209, the federal government, in ali its majesty, will seek to cancel it. Would Clinton have dared to campaign that way in California? Proposition 209 is a direct descendant of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 14th Amendment. In fact, all it says is that the state of California shall not discriminate. To declare it unconstitutional puts the United States government in a strange posture. It will have stated that reverse discrimination is legal and that no discrimination is illegal. This'is precisely the son of process that engenders all the talk about "judicial tyran· ny." Clinton's real slogan should have been, "Mend it, don't end it, or I will.rend it." If there is sanity in the U.S. appel· late couns, Proposition 209 will be allowed to stand. It is hard to believe that President Zorro and his Justice Depanment do not know this. So why did he do it? Cynics might say that it is a symbolic payoff to black civil rights activists, as a token of appreciation for suppon from the black community. in the election. Cynics might say that Zorro will need all his liberal die-hard supporters when the independent counsels Sll\fl raining on the parade.

Protesters heeding a call by Milosevic to demonstrate in his support traded blows with opposition supponers, who were then clubbed by riot police. A\ least one person was shot in Tuesday's melee by a gunman in a crowd of Milosevic backers. Fifty-seven others were treated for injuries. Wednesday, some I0,000 marching students returned to downtown Terazije Square, chanting "We hate you Slobo." ''We wanted to deContaminate the spot where Milosevic's supporters brought us mud and dirt," said student spokesman Sasa Petrovic, as the demonstrators swept the pavement with detergent, brooms and brushes. · Later, tens of thousands of opposition supporters, braYing cold and snow. t1ooded Belgrade streets for their 35th day of protests against the autocratjc Serbian president. . · · Opposition leaders claimed that Milosevic was planning to ban the pro~emocracy protests, which until Tuesday had been relatively peaceful.

Milosevic all but programmed Tuesday's street battle by urging government supporters to rally at the same site where the opposition has been protesting regularly since his cancellation of what appeared to be opposition victories ih the Nov. 17 elections. Protesting students sent a letter to Milosevic today, accusing him of bringing Belgrade "to the edge of civil war." "Only thanks to the enormous restraint of.citizens, and great luck, the catastrophe was avoided," said the letter. "We demand that you behave as the president of all citizens of Serbia." · But a statement from Milosevic supporters, read on state radio, demallded "tough action" against the opposition protesters. It said pr<>-Milosevic fu~ces had come to the capital "to save Serbia and Belgrade" from the oppoSitiOn, but were greeted by "hooligans" who hurled stones and eggs.

Swinging clubs, police waded into the crowds, separating anti- and pr<>govemment groups and shielding the Milosevic suppoc:ters.

Many have received news only from Serbia's state-run TV, which has created a distorted picture of the opposition and its demands. Milosevic has virtually ignored the opposition protests- the largest since he came to power in 1987.
