As I travel around the stale representing Governor George Voinovich and the Ohio Deparqnerit of Transportation, I hear dozens of requests each month for new highway projects all over Ohio: In economically disadvantaged areas of the state, local officials and business leaders insist that new road and bridge projects will help boost their area's economic development effons. In areas of the state where the economy is booming and unemployment is below three percent, people want OOOT to help them deal with the resulting congestion that often accompaniP< job creation and economic development. In some pans of the state. dedicated men and women have spent decades advocating rond projects that have been promised sjnce the 1950s by elect· ed and appointed officials from beth parties. Commillees have met for years, dozens of meetings have been held, hundreils of lellers ·have been wriuen, thousands of telephone calls have been made, and yet not one shovelful of dirt has been turned. It's enough to make some people cynic~! abeul beth the project selection process and the Ohio Department of Transportation. 'The reason for the broken promises, false hopes, and endless frustration is simple. lbe state does not have the resources to build all of the highway projects that people tell us they want. The "wish list" is staggering and it continues to grow each year. Earlier this year, we developed ODO'I's first criteria.-driven, objective project ranking system. At thattinie, we ranked a total of 151 major new capacity projects, those that add capacity to the highway system. · The total price tag for these projects add up to $5.4 billion. Each year, we spend between S150 • $300 million on these types of projects..You don't have to have a doctorate in mathematics to see that at our present rate of spending, it could take us more than 35 years to bu(ld alii 51 of these projects, even if another project weren't added to the list the entire time. However, the lisi is not standipg still. Since we released our project ranking last February, local cormnunities have submilled requests for another 40 highway projects with a price tag of an additional $1.7 billion to ODOT. Another 55 interchange projects have.been submitted, wonh $672 million, . aRd anolher 10 public transit projects wonh $196 million have been requested. . Thus, in less than a year, our entire wish list has jumped more_than $2.5 billion, to nearly $8 billion. To put that in perspective, ODO'I's entire annu· al budget is only $1.5 billion, including operating costs, salaries, construelion, and the money we spend each winter keeping our highways free from snow and Ice. . Some might argue the easy solution to the problem woul!l be to raise the state gasoline tax. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. It would take a gas<>' line tax increase of 13 cents per gallon to pay for all of the 256 projects worth $8 billion over the ~ext ten y0ars. Again, that's without adding a single new project to the list in a. decade. . · The current stale gasoline tax is only. 22 cents per gallon. and ODOT only receives 12 cents of that. Even if it were possible to increase the gas tax enough to theoretically finance all of the projects on the wish list, which it is not, it would be senseless to do so. Neither ODOT, nor the construction · industry is prepared to double its workload and productivity overnight. 'The solution is to make better decisions about the money we do spend. Our project selection method, which ranks projects based on traffic data and economic development potential in an open, public process, is a step in that direction. So were our efforts during the past two-year state budget period to trim $90 million from our operating budget and reinvest thai money in our bridge and.pavement programs. · However, it is now time for us to take the next step. We must,protect the progress we've already made. We must pievenJ a return. to the qays when ' project decisions were made in smokefilled back rooms and based upon polil· ical priorities rather than public need. In order to do that, we are proposing the creation of a Transportation Review Advisory Council, or TRAC. 'The TRAC will serve as an official body that would oversee the project 11111king formula and the selection process. The TRAC will give final approval to the department's annual major new construction pr<lgram. It will also serve u 1 "court of appeals" for communities that wish to have a project's score reviewed. In addition, the panel will give approval to requests for loans from ODOT.s new State Infrastructure Bank, a revolving loan fund that will be used 10 help finance local infrastructure projects.

The price of this opulent masquerade -- living in luxury palaces and traveling in royal entourages -· has been the exposure to at least a half-dozen assassination attempts. During Desert Storm, it was the Uday doubles who would go to the front in · morale-building gestures for the Iraqi public. Since the war, Siuldam has allowed Uday to amass his own personal fortune, become editor-in-chief of a daily newspaper, run a TV station, head the trade and information ministries ana head Saddam's personal security forces. Iraqis routinely began referring to him as "Numbet Two" and hisyoimger brother, Qusay, as "Number Three." In his father's bloody footsteps, Uday has been ~liminating other · potential successors with a ruthlessness his father clearly ·admires. The starkest example came las . t : year, when Uday sbot Saddaril's half· brother Watban Ibrahim Takrili at a party. Though Watban, whO reportedly died of his wounds, was one of Saddam 's closest henchmen and rei· atives, Uday was not thrown into jail this time.

Dillard and Daniel Otto led the Eagles on a 14-5 run over the final 4:29 of the third canto and Wahama could never recover in the cross river rivalry between the neighboring schools. The win boosted Eastern to 6-1 on the 1996-97liardcourt season while Waharna fell to 2·2 on the year. "EaStern made us play out of con- · trol and received two big scoring runs on the night and that proved to be the difference in the garnet Hall said following the loss. "We had some spuns where w~ played really well, but we couldn't sustain the .consistency in our overall game like we did against Parkersburg Catholic in our last outing," he said. The Falcons failed to knock down several easy five- and 10-foot shots throughout the 32 minute affair which proved to be the decidinc fac· lor in the hard fOUJhl contest. Wahama got off to a slow start dler penetrated to the basket and when be wasn't knocking down the short jump shots, be was finding Oao and never dented the scoring column under tbe basket for the score.

" I thought we would probably have a little bit more to do with the committed 18 turnovers with the Eagles being guilty on 17 ball handling mistakes. Dillard led all scorers with 27 points while Otto added 15 and Steve Durst nine for Eastern while Wahama got a 17 point perfonnance from Shields, with Ord notching 14 tallies and Cundiff getting 10. Ord took game high honors on the board$ with 12 rebounds. while Otto gathered in 10 for the Eagles. Reserft notes: In the preliminary game, coach Frank Capehart's Little Falcons pulled away from the Eagles in the final quarter for aJ15-35 triumph to remain uridefeated on the season with a 3-0 mark.;o Ryan Russell scored 16 markers and Sterling Shields 12 to pace the WHS junior varsity attacl!: while Joe Dillon .had nine and · Eric· Smith eight for Eastern.

(AP) - Paul Pasqualoni 'never doubted that his Syracuse team would find a way to end their season with a victory. The Orangemen beat Houston 30-17 Friday in the Liberty Bowl, capping a season started with two losses and extending their unbeaten bowl streak to eight going back to a 16-H\ tie in the 1988 Susar Bowl. · "It.'s the nature of the Syracuse program ...," Pasqualoni said. "Tradition is. great. and football's awful important al Syracuse." After all, his Orangemen lost to North Carolina a~d Minnesota before reeling off eight straight wins. A regular-season ending 38-31 loss to Miami cost them a chance at a slot in either the Carquest or Gator Bowls. " Then they rose back up and played· awfully hard (again),"· he said. Syracuse responded with its best rushing perfonnance ever in a Q<>wl. The Orangemen (9-3) rushed for 396 yards, its best since 348 in the 1966 Gator Bowi, .and totaled 472 y.u;ds offense while holding' the ball for 38 minutes.

OCII· tlon tltockyard was taken prior to Its opening on Aprll13. eculiar weather, an intense politicar season and a major change in a school system were among the major l~al events experienced by Callie. County residents during 1996. 1 ) Adverse weather, ranging f~om heavy snowfall and cold to devastating winds and rain, made its impact felt on the county for most of the ~ear, beginning with a snowstorm on Jan. 6-7 that buried the county in two feet of the white stuff. Advance warni.ng sent residents scurrying to the stores to snap up groceries and snow shovels, prompted by memories of a similar storm in 1994. By then, most people had enough experience to ride out the storm, but were faced with another problem three weeks later when a winter thaw sent the Ohio River and inland creeks flowing over their banks. · ' Winter seemed lo linger well into spring, but when the warmth returned, so did a penchant for swift and heavy rains. A storm that swept through the area on June 22-23 created havoc in the county's southern end, damaging roads, bridges, homes and farmers' crops, which had already been delayed fwm planting due to soggy and cold ground. . People had no soone· recovered from that deluge when Ulother storm. @dde4 'i:' t!>• !!l'isery. inqex at the end of July. A moderately.wamf§\mmer then yielded to a brief fall when the first freezing temperatures felt since the end of winter hit.the area in early Novem- . ber. Another freakish happening related to the weather occurred May 4 whro 1 tornado tore through the Vinton ar uprooting two mobile homes, but c. "s· ing little or,no injury to residents. Natural disaster of another kind struck Gallipolis on May 20 when the second m~jor fire on Court Street in · three years severely damaged some buildings, led to the demolition of one . and caused at least one business to move. Th·• blaze was ruled an arson and remains under investigation. The fire hit at a time when the city and interested citizens began planning a revitalization project. As the year ended, efforts to formulate an overall plan tv onn~ more people and business to Gallipolis' downtown had been launched. The Nov. 5 election saw 10 races for county office, six of them contested, as well as a heated campaign for incumbent U.S. Rep. Frank A. Cremeans. the Gallipolis Republic1n seeking a second term on Capi~ot · Hill. Cremeans brushed past his GOP primary opponent, Scioto County educator Bob Kelley, to confront his 1994 campaign foe, Democrat Ted Strickland of LucasvHie. The race. which drew attention from the national media, saw Strickland reclaim the seat Cremeans had wrested away from him. Lqcally, five Republicans and an independent running with the GOP's endorsement won the contested county races. One of those races dominated the political scene for the better part of the year. Glenn A. Smith, who entered the GOP primary to oppose Democratic incumbent Joseph L. Leach in the foil, saw his petition invalidated by the Board of Elections in February due to questions over residency and his serving .as Guernsey County engineer, an office he had not yet resigne~ from when he filed in Galli a County. Smith re-filed for the election as an indepen· dent, but the hoard deadlocked twice in May. and July on putting his name on the ballot. The tre was broken in Smith's favor later in July by Secretary of State Robert A. Taft Jr.. and the decision stood after a challenge to Taft's vote was rejected by the ·state Supreme Court in September. . Smith, who ran with Republican backing, went on to narrowly defeat Leach. ...

The Bob Evans Drive-In and Bob Evans · Steak House (razed in the past month) would form important parts of that history. A perusal of the 1959 Gallipolis business directory reveals that in that year there was not even a listing for restaurants. Under the heading cafes are listed the town's five family restaurants, the two Bob Evans ,establishments, Tyo's Restaurant, the Christi Ann and Circle's Cafeteria, along with .a number of pub type cafes. One would assllme therefore, at least in Gallipolis, it was thi: late 1950s that really ushered in the era of "eating out" as a family. A sampling . of the slogans for )lob Evans in 1959 are aimed at families: "Are you trapped shoot on food when company anives? Then use our take home service." "Are you tired after doing the family wash? End the day happy when you enjoy our delicious food served quickly and courteously." "If you want to stay at the top of the totem pole, 'take them to tHe Black Angus room." "Bob Evans is where taste always comes first." · By 1965 the same five basic family ·restaurants dominaied "eating out".

Winter's first harsh winds roar all night off the Ozark Mountain ridge known as Dick Bald, rattling the last inhabited wood shack in the surrounding forest. · Frigid air slices through cracks in the shack's thin walls, overwhelming what little heat radiates from the wood stove in the center of its only room. Yet off in a corner bed, Binlle Mannon sleeps undisturbed by the cold and wind. At 87, she doesn't hear well enough for the wind to be a bother. As for the cold, this is Mannon's 80th winter in the Ozarks, all of them endured without electricity, indoor plumbing or most of the 20th century's other creature comforts. Birdie Hilda Rosalie Mannon is that rare living American: an authen- · tic pioneer. Wrapped in several layers of ragged wool clothing, she reads her Bible and Reader's Digest bY a kerosene lamp. · She collects · rain water for bathing or washing clothes, splits wood and, when the need arises, trudges down a path to an outhouse perched atop a creek bed. Sbe bakes biscuits on a woodbumi ng cook stove and keeps storebought canned goods and her homemade preserves "reliigerated" in·an underground cellar next to the house. It's been this way since Samuel and Thea Mannon brought B inlle and their three other chil~n here from North Platte, Neb., in a covered wagon pulled by donkeys. Woodrow Wilson was running for a second tenn as · president and the Battle of Verdun was raging . in Europe when Samuel bought 120 acres of land for $800. It was- the fat! of 1916, Nebraska was suffering a drought and the promise of abundant water and fruit trees covering gentle hills drew the Mannons to the Ozarks. There were to~gh year$ to come. Seven-year-old Halley died in the flu epidemic of 1918, preacher Miles Mannon died at age 24 in 1926, and Samuel struggled to raise crops, chickens and cattle before his death in 1936. After Thea died in 1969, foiiQwed by sister Elnora in . 1972, Binlle Mannon was alone. Me~nwhile, the Great Depression, World War II, the JFK assassi· nation and Watergate passed into history without touching life at the end of Mannon Road, a dirt track stretching 2 miles off Missouri Highway 76. The Mannons' only concessions to modem livi.ng were a pickup truck, a portable radio and a telepho~e finally installed in 1970. Binlle Mannon kept up with local news and paid passing 1ittention to major national events but knows nothing of post-World War II cui· ture. She says she's never heard of Elvis or the Beatles, doesn't know anything about Michael Jonlan or the Super Bowl, computers or VCRs. She's never been to the movies, rarely seen television and has been farther than Springfield, Mo. , (40 miles away) only once since settling in Brownbranch, poP" ulation 30. That was a trip to Kansas City taken so long ago she can 't recall the year. Yet hers is not a story of ignorance. Mannon attended college; she's a former teacher and a staunch Republican who has experienced enough of modern America to choose, and cherish, life at the end of Mannon Road. "I can have a lot of experiences living here, just of a different kind," she says. "You can't do everything. I've kept busy and enjoy life." She certainly seems to. Mannon laughs easily and likes to reminisce about the neighbors she's known . When she loses her train of thought, she'll laugh and say, "Oh, I'm so forgetful. I've lived too iong. " Mannon, who seems to have a line in her face for each year in the Ozarks, recalls sleeping as a child on the floor of the house her father built hurriedly to shield his family from the winter of 1916. The Mannons cleared some. land, 7~ grew com and oats to feed their She also taught Sunday school classhandful of cows, chickens and pigs, es from 1932 until 1991, and for and lj'nded a garden.

UITs, however, also have some important differences. The primary difference is that a· UIT's portfolio holdings are . fixed -· there is no shifting arourd of securities as opposed to a mutual · fund portfolio which can change as the fund manageJ\ buys and sells its holdings. That's the beauty of a UIT. No shifting means no management fees which implies that UITs can be llreat tools to diversify a portfolio in a very cost effeclive manner. UITs may not be as popular as mutual funds because investors either simply have misconceptions about them or they do not know they exist: Some investors may view portfolios of UITs as securities haphazardly "bundled" together. In reality, they are not bundled but rather hand-picked by professional analysts who perfonn thorough analy· ses of each security before it makes it into the UIT's portfolio. Some investors may think that since securities in a UJT's portfolio are fixed, they are left to the wills of the markets Actually, they are actively supervised and a .security may be removed for credit reasons so investors are not' stuck with a "time -bomb." Some investors may view UITs as not very liquid. The truth is that UITs have immediate liquidity · and proceeds are available each and every business day although the value may fluctuate with market conditions and may" be worth more or less than the original cost. Some i~vestors may he skeptical of UITs ' because they don't publish their net asset values daily in newspapers like mutual funds. However UITs must calculate their values daily and provide regular statements to unit-holders, just like mutual funds . They do not publish their daily net asset values because there are so many thousands of different series of UlTs that actively trade, no newspaper in its U~Ts • simply a phone call away. Last, some investors may think UITs are merely concoctions to make the peo· pie who sell them profitable. The. truth is, UIT expense ratios on aver· age arc less than one-fifth those of m~tual funds .. about 0.3 percent of assets annually. And, they _can· be purchased with a low minimum investment, usually $1,000. The first step in purchasing a UIT is to ·determine . your investment objectives and risk tolerance. once you and your investment adviser have detennined that units of a UIT • fit into your investing picture, he or she can help you find the one that's • right for you.

How livestock producers should adapt to these trends was addressed in the report. But a major portion of the report dealt with how livestock producers and their non farm neighbors can better coexist. one of the ideas is having . "good neighbor" policy. What's that mean? Well; it is a sort of unofficial agreement about what being a good · neighbor means. Here are some examples of how fanners can 'be good neighbors: -·Be considerate and responsible. communicate things that mar affect netghbors. . .. --Don't spread manure on Fridays •. especially the Friday before a holiday weekend. Encourage your neighbors to let you know about times when a · fresh dose of mah,ure would infringe qn their entertainment plans. ..Take the time to explain what you do and why. For example, spreading manure on crop la'r~d is a productive way to recycle nutrients. --Explain why at planting and harvesl limes farmers must work late into the night and on weekends. · ..Take opportunities to educate. Invite the neighbor's children over to see a newborn calf, lamb or pigs. Most kids do science fair protects; see· if there's a way Y9U can help t~m. · --Consider having an open house or a picnic for neighbors' during spring, then use the time to talk about whal you do and why. But as we all know, bcin~ a good neighbor requires effort from both parties. Here is what you should understand if you have a fanner neighbor: \ ' --Animals. of. course, produce manure. In order to put the nutrients in the manure to use in an environ· mentally fliendly way, farmers spread manure on crop ground. Sometimes that may mean odors you're not used to. '• -Farmers also raise crops to feed livestock. In the spring, they race against time to get crops •planted in a ti~ely fashion. and in the fall they, race to get them harvested. If farmers don't gel their crops planted or harvested on time, they'll lose yield and income. That"means that during these times of year, fanners have to start work at the crack of dawn aad so.metimes work well into the night. That·may mean some extra noise for you at these specil!l times of the year. Because fields do not all connect, fanners must use the roads to move fann machinery from field lo field. The machinery may be wider or traveling slower than you think. , Many of these are probably things you already .do, and that's great. But keep in mind that a healthy livestock industry. just .like other industries. creates jobs and revenue for ·all Ohioans Let's all do our part in helping it along. · Kim Harless Is the regional Fann.

By JIM FREEMAN Sentinel Newa Steff Actual construction work began last week on the Pomeroy Riverfront Amphitheater, with workers preparing the existing Pomeroy Levee for construction of the $!78,000 structure. Workers began demolition and · site ·preparation work last week, including the installation of two five-foot-deep holes which mark where lighting poles will be placed. In October, Pomeroy Village Council approved a $177,900 bid submitted by Banks Construction . of Pomeroy for construction of the facility. The 163-foot-long structure will include seating, a walking/st~ge area, removable railing and tiedowps big enough for large ·riverboats, according to the plans. It will extend more than 17 feet out into the river, supported on steel !- beams: Also included will be stage and walkway lighting and electrical hookups for boats.

GOP split over Gingrich ethics violation widens WASHINGTON (AP)- A Republican congressman who previously supported Newt Gingrich said today he.should step aside as House speaker over his admission that he violated ethics rules. . Rep. Michael Forbes of New York, the first Republican to publicly oppose . the speaker's re-election, said Gingrich should "exercise the ultimate in pro-. files in courage in stepping aside and in not standing for re-election as speak- . er." "As we move i~to the new Congress we need a strong, dynamic, unencumbered speaker, " Forbes said o.n MSNBC. He said be has been a staunch supporter of Gingrich and believes he has been unfairly attacked but added, ''I'm troubled by the speaker 's own admission that he took his eye off the ball in preparing his own defense before the Ethics Committee." Forbes was quoted in today's New York Times as saying he would not vote to re-elect Gingrich as·speaker. But House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, says Gingrich has no intention of abandoning his post despite any reservations that rank,and-file Republicans are expressing about him. "Newt Gingrich is nqt going to step aside,-I'm absolutely confident of tbat," DeLay said Sunday. "He will be eJected (speaker) on Jan. 7." DeLay's remarks on NBC's "Meet The Press"'came after a week in which Republicans began voicing unease about the House ethics committee's probe of Gingrich. The speaker has admitted filing erroneous statements to the panel regarding a college course·he once taught at a small Georgi~ school. Gingrich and other Republican leaders want the ethics committee to decide what,.if any, penalty should be levied against the speaker ori or before Jan. 7, when the House convenes to elect leaders for the 105th Congress. But the committee's senior Democrat, Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington, told The Washington Post it would be "almost impossible" for the panel to complete its work bY then. " ... I'd be surprised if we could make a thoughtful, intelligent judgment in less than a week or two," he said . If the panel - and the full House -take the unlikely step of voting for censure, Gingrich would be stripped of his speakership. An official reprimand, the most lenient penalty availubl~. would .not reqU,ire Gingrich to quit the leadership. ' . ; . ·Political costs 3$SOciated with a prolonged public airing of the committee's findings on Gingrich, however, could diminish the speaker's power. That explains in part why Republicans are eager to put the two-year ethics investigation behind them, while Democrats wh.o earlier pushed to accelerate the probe now want to proceed more slowly. "Clearly, there should be a full discussion ofthis," Rep. Martin Prost, DTexas, said on NBC. "The speaker ... clearly should have the opportunity to defend himself, to come in and present his case, and I would hope that that would be public. "Thechargesareserious-theRepublicanshaveadifficulttimeacknowledging the fact that the speaker actually provided false and misleading information to the committee," Prost adped. Except for his ethics matter, re-election to the speaker's post would be a foregone conclusion for the often-confrontational Gingrich, who campaigned hard for Republican congressional candidates in the early 1.990s.Jiis worl! paid off in 1994', when the GOP took over the House, and he was his party's overwhelming choice for speaker. Just a week ago, Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, said he expected Gingrich to receive the vote of every House Republican this time. At least eight Republicans have said they want time to study all tbe facts in the Gingrich matter be~re · oting on his re-election. But Rep. Chiistopher ay of Connecticut, a key GOP moderate, offered a staunch defense of the speak . "I think Republicans will support him unanimously, and I think soJ]l:..Ll ocrats will and should," Shays said Sunday · on CBS' "Pace The Nation." hostages get word from outside :.

Foreign diplomats and aid officials do not anticipate a quick end to the standoff, but .some think more hostage releases are in the works . Sociologist Carlos Ivan Degrego· rio said he believes the rebels need to keep releasing hostages "to stay in . the news and keep the initiative." Peruvians weary of the standoff have begun to spray paint the words "Hostages Freedom" on walls and , buses around Lima. Vendors have begun 'selling T-shirts on street corners with the same slogan.

WASHINGTON (AP)- President Clinton has approved a plan to com:~at state laws legalizing marijuana for m~ical use ~ugh a variety _of '!letiiiS :that could include criminal charges agatnst phystctans who prescnbe tt. , Retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey,th~ president's anti-narcotics chief, Said those who violate federal laws, including provisions forbidding docton ·from prescribing illegal drugs, "lend themselves vulnerable to prosecution.'' ; Interviewed Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," McCaffrey said Clin·ion app-oved the plan last week, with details to be announced Monday. He 'llelded a multiagency effort over the past several weeks to draw it up. : McCaffrey said the plan would make clear that while federal law has not ·:chanJed, 1ovemment medical authorities will continue to examine the·pur· poned benefita of any drug, including marijU31la. •: But he said doctors who prescribe illegal drugs would be prosecuted or ·' removed from the federal registry that allows them to write prescnptlons. .. . • ' He said the administration temoins confident American medicine offers better remedies_to deal with pain than prescr.ibing illegal dru~s. . "Clearly tf we had unscrupulous phystctans who were ustng herom _to treat writer's block in Arizona, or if there were prescription mills in Cahfornia, 1\:derallaw will be upheld," McCaffrey said. · Voters In these two states last month approved meas~res that would relax restrictions on the medical use of some illegal drugs, such as marijuana. He said theadministrati_on is reminding anyone 'who receives government money or operates under federal jurisdiction that they are banned from using illegal drugs, whatever a doctor may recommend. ,: "So if you're flying a Delta airliner, driving a school bus, operating a nuclear power plant, if you are a National Guard serg~ant, you can't use Schedule I drugs" ror medical purposes, McCaffrey said. Marijuana and heroin are Schedule I substances, and federal law recog- nizes no legitimate medical use for them. Under the new administration plan, doctors who prescdbe marijuana could lose their Drug Enforcement Admin· . tstrauon certtficatton, even where state laws permit such prescriptions. McCaffrey said the resolutions California and Arizona voters approved amount to quasilegalization of drugs. ' · "In essence we see them a.< a violation of the scientific process that ha.• brought America the safest and most effective medicines in the world," McCaffrey sllid . "And we' re cnonnously concerned because of the potential for increased drug abuse in these two states." . Asked if by its actions the federal government is thwarting the will of the people, McCaffrey said many voters in California and Arizona "were asleep at the switch" in approving "~oax referendums" that did not have any serious medical backing. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
