Zupanja is tbe Croatian border town where U.S. Army engineers are building a pontoon bridge over the Sava River into Bosnia for the U.S . deployment. Engineers were unable Saturday to complete the bridge because flooding caused by recent thaws made the venture too risky . " We ' ll do it tomorrow morning," said Brig. Gen.

The American troops are part of a 60,000-strong NATO forc e lhat will patrol a U.S.-brokered peace accord in Bosnia, where Serbs waged a war of secession for 3 112 years. Some American troops have already arrived in the Tuzlaarea in northeastern Bosnia, but the Americans are depending on the bridge to transport most of the troops and equipment. O'Neal said rising water, which spilled over the Sava's banks, made it unsafe to anchor a key section of the bridge to land.

Township resident Mi ke Blake,and his wife.

Scipio Township Trustee Bobby Arnold Friday told commissioners Fred Hoffman and Robert Harten bach that lhe board was given a distorted view of the situation during the Dec . 22 meeting. "We were asked by several people in the community to change the name of the road to reduce confusion," Arnold said. "It was done to reduce confusion," Arnold said. The sheriffs office, emergency medical services and others were notified of the change. he added. Page ville Road runs southeast from Page ville to Kingsbury Road in Bedford Township. The section of road fonnerly known as Dougl as Road begins near the . . intersection of Vance Road, an area that is also causing confuston because Vance Road is separated into two portions by another section of Page ville Road, according to trustees. Also adding to the confusiOn. there is another Douglas Road in Orange Township, it was explained. : Arnold and fell ow Trustee Randy Butcher said they do not want to change . lhe name of the road back to Douglas Road. Hoffman explained that th e board does not want to take action in the matter and added the change was approved by Prosecuting Attorney John R. Lentes. who serves as lhe board 's legal counsel . In other business, the bOlrd approved contributing $6,500 to rhe 1996 Meigs County Fair, the same amount as last yea r. and accepted the sole bid of$15 ,289 (wirh the lrade in of a 1990 model van) from Don Tare Motors, Pomeroy, for a new van for the Meigs County Department of Human Services. Also, Slate approval was received to lransfer $45,000 allocated for rental rehabilitation 10 owner-occupied housing rehabilitation as part of Racine's Communiry Housing Improvement Project. Hoffman said. As a result, three additi onal houses - for a total of 23 owner-occupied homes - will be able to undergo renovation.

The state-controlled district had considered pl acing a 9.7-mill levy on Ihe March I\I ball ot, butt he board let Ihal opportunity pass by not acl· ing at a meeting Friday. Instead, lhe di slnct wi ll wait until August or November. Board members warned lhat voters, who have approved only one operati ng levy in 25 years. eve ntually will have to suppon the nearbankrupt di st rict. "This will all end when adulls realize that chi ldren arc more importantthan football ," said board member Adrian Maldonado, referrin g to the cit y's efforts to prevent the Cleveland Bro wns from moving to Baltimore. The district's decision comes on the hee ls of stinging critici sm from Mayor Michael R. White, George Forbes, preSident of the Cleveland chapter of the Nalional Assoc iation for the Advancement of Colored People . and other community leader!'!. White charged that Superinten· dent Richard A. Boyd and stale offi cial s did nol include enough public input in an educati on reform plan presented last month . Forbes charged that state officials had failed to reach out 10 the bl ac k community. Forbes had vowed lo actively campaign again sl the levy. while White and U.S Rep. Loui s Stokes, D-Cieveland, whom Boyd courted last wee k, have withheld Iheir support. Boyd said the lack of commun ity support for the lev y changed his mind about offerin g it so soon. Friday's dec ision means the district will have to borrow about $70 million jusl 10 make it through lhe current fi scal year, which ends June 30. The district began the school yea r with a $ 142 million dehl. More program and staff cuts arc coming, predicted treasurer William Aldridge . "Obviously, we can 't go ou1and borrow $70 million and then turn around and spend more money," he sa1d. Boyd, who was appointed superintendent a ft er a federal judge ordered the state to take conlrol of the distri ct March 3. said voters need to have co nfidence the district is edu catin g children well and spend in g money wi sely. " It was evident to me long before I accepted th is job I~ at both of these conditions in Cleve land were lackin g... Boyd said .

Victorian Era." a period of lime from 1837 to 1901 (~o 1ed as such · r"r !he rergn of Queen Victoria) saw !he most renascent changes in Meigs · Counl y history. The growth in Meigs County from 1840 to 1880 almost tripled. In 1840 · the ce nsus was 11.452, but by 1880 the census reached 32.325, a number : rh:u has not been surpassed and has declrned since. As of June 30, 1881. there were 1,0 18 deeds recorded. The average price . <>fan ;ocre of ground was $21.50 in the country and $250 an acre in the city. Export s included 220,004 bushels of wheat. 514,137 bushels of corn and : 5. 154.370 bushels of coal. Three salt furnaces reported 1,140 bushels of salt. There were several interesting papers, particularly in the 1880s. One, The Pomeroy Mosquito Weekly, which started Dec . 7, 18R3. hoasted the largest circulation in Meigs County. Part of this fact could be due to ils policy of sending a free paper to every taxpayer in Meigs County.

WASHINGTON -· The late Sov iet leader Nikita Khrushchev once issued a warning about nuclear war that could also apply to next year's presidential election: The living will envy the dead. Whoever wins the White House next year will likely face the unenviable task of reforming the Social Securi1y system. And with that reform will likely come a political battle that could dwarf the demagoguery surrounding the GOP 's attempt to reduce the growth of Medicare spending. That, at least. is the consensus of an array of experts on Capitol Hill. the administration and seniors ' organizations. The Medicare squabbl e was merely the first step in a slow ye1 inevitable process of cutting the growth of ent itleme nts - thereby lessening the load the se progranH place on the federal deficit and keeping them solvent for future generations. Republicans, led by House Speaker Newt Gingrich, made a good case for reforming Medicare by claiming that the program will otherwi se go bankrupt by 2002. But there are several reasons By Jack Anderson and Mich(!el Binstein Gingrich wi ll skip taking on Social Security reform in an election year. Gingrich knows !hat the Democ rats' opportu ni stic atlacks on Medicare cuts were a mere precursor to the light that would accompany any attempt to tamper with Social Security. That lea ves 1997 as the year when entitlemenl spending - which already consumes more than half the federal budget - will once again be center stage. Medicare is a touchy subject, but Social Sec urity IS the mother of all sensitive federa l programs. Nearly two decades after former House Speaker Tip O'Neill termed Social Security the "third rail" of American politics, his prediction for politicians who fiddle with the program still ·holds true : Touch it and you die. If R~publicans raise the subject on the eve of the 1996 elec tions, the GOP revolution could be stopped dead in its tracks. Politicians have another good excuse for putting off reforms for at least another year - the program is still solvent, and will remain so until at least 2010. In fact. the Social Security " trust fund" is running an annual sunplus of about $60 billion - money that is currently used to offset the defier!. But as many people have learned. the trust fund is nothing but a pile of IOUs - mon· ey that is lent to the Treasury in order to pay today's bills, not tomorrow 's benefits. Social Security Commis· sioner Shirley Chater admitted as much to our associate Dale VanAtta in a recent inte~view: "Another myth is the whole Leeroy B. Dixon notion that if you pay taxes into Social Security. you are creatrng a ht· tie personal account for yoursc~~ that you draw upon ." Chater sa1d . And that 's not the way rt works. Because it's a soc ial insurance program. !.here is a wonderful co mponent about the formula that gives proportionately more 10 the poor !han rt docs to those high earners." . _ Still. the bipartisan Entitlement Commission found last year that Social Security cannot continue to be funded at ihe current levels without producing a signrficantly lower ben efit for baby boomer~ and the gen· eration that follows them into retire· ment. Quite simply. the system is under strain from the weight of too man y ret irees bemg supported by lOO few workers . When Social Security was launched in 1935. America could count 16 workers supporting each beneficiary . Today. the ratio is JUSt slightly more than three-to-one. By the time the baby boom generation begins retiring en masse, there will be slightly more than two active workers for each person collecting Social Security. It's no wonder that poll s consisteiHiy show that most young people have little faith !hat Soc1al Security will still be around when they retire. Chater. however. resisted such doom -and-g loom pro nouncement ~ . "When people say to me that they don 't believe Social Security will be there for them, when they need it. I assure them !hat it will be there for them when they need it." she said .. But even in this spasm of opti· mism. Chater believes il is importmil to dispel two other "myths" more on !he ro sy side of the ledger: "People frequently believe that when they retire. they will have Social Security as though it is their sole retirement income. Social Security was never, even from the begi,... ning . meant to be the sole source of income during later years. So it's truly a myth that that was its intention and that it will provide for people adequately." · (Jack Anderson and Michael Binstein are columnists for United Feature Syndicate.) runs.

It 's that ca ustic and flustered Dole that opponents hoj:>e re-emerges in 1996. "They have been saying that for the last year. they have been begging for it, they have been going to sleep at night prayrng for it, and Bob Dolr.' has been an exemplary candidate ,.. Lacy sard . There were a f~w bumps in '95. Dole and his campaign badly mi shandled a $1,000 donation from !he gay Republi can group, Log Cabin . By returning the money and then later blaniing it on a campaign mistake, Dole pandered to and angered pen· pie on all sides. Lacy claimed the campaign made a "judgment call" to turn back the Log Cabi n money because Dolc.'s advisers feared attacks from Gramm in primary stat,; where the religious right has a strong inlluence, Lacy said Dole strategists researched Gramm's 1984 Senate campaign, in which Gran1m attacked his Democratic opponent for accepting money from gay groups. "Our judgment here was that it made more sense to turn the money back," Lacy said. "We knew that there would be some political fallout from that decision on the front end. · But the back end, we had also studied Phil Gramm 's campaigns. And if you go back to the '84 race ... you will lind lhat he very heavily and very effectively and very brutally criticized Lloyd Doggett for accept· ing gay money. And we simply did n't want to inject ihat issue inlo the Iowa caucuses and the southern primaries." In mid-summer, Dole sparked cnticrsm that he was a deal maker who wanted the presrdency so badly he 'd do what it took to win it. He told state party leaders in Philadel phia: "If you want me to be Ronald Reagan , 1' II be Ronald Reagan." Detract!lrs asked whether Dole. like Clinton , had a core. "My intenpretation of it was he was basocally saying, 'I am conservative like Ronald Reagan was.' " Lacy said of the Philadelphia speech. ..

While the Bills head to Pittsburgh next Saturday, the Dolphins' season of underachievement ended with an ignominious defeat. If this was the last game of Shula's 26-year reign in Miami- there has been pressure on the NFL's alltime winningest coach to retire. although team owner Wayne Huizenga has voiced support of his coach- it is a terrible way to go out.

OSBORNE · Times-Sentinel Staff JACKSON -After mounting a third-quarler comeback tharcontinued into the fourlh quarler of Friday night's Southeastern Ohio Athletic League varsity boys ' basketball game at Jackson High School, the River Valley Ratders lost the onepmnt lead they gamed and dropped a 58-45 deCISIOn to the host lronmen. "When it 's time to put it away, we can't get a defensive effort out of them," said Raider head coach Carl Wolfe , whose club fell to 0-4 m the league this season and IS carrying a nine-game losmg, streak m SEOAL play. The Ra1ders last league v1ctory was a 58-57 win over Athens at The Pla1ns on Jan . 27 The Ironmen scored the game's first nine pomts and appeared on the11 way to runnmg away and htding from their guests.

Alter sconng often enough to keep their lead to four- and six-pmnt margms early in the third quarter, Jackson expanded its lead to seven on two occastons midway through the pcnud and boosted 11 to eight on junior forward Craig Sturgell 's free throw wtth 2:56left. River Valley responded by scoring e1ght unanswered pomts, mclud- Southern extended its lead with a 5-0 run , on a bucket by Harmon and free throws by Norris and Maynard. Wtth l:lp left, Southern led 73-67. After an over the back foul on Southern, Mount drilled two at the ltne to cut the Southern lead back to four (73-69). A quick foul on the mbounds play by Mount sent Maynard to the line for the Tornadoe s. After hitting one of two, Southern lead 74-69 wnh 45 second' remamtng . Chesapeake put everything together late, as Donald Clark dished to Alex Gue on the baseline for a Gue bucket with 33 seconds left. Another quick foul on the inbounds play sent Maynard back to the line for Southern, as he again htt one of two to give Southern a 75-71 lead with 30 seconds remaining . Sammy Gue's bucket with 22 seconds left cut the lead to two at 75-73, but Gue fouled out of the game with 16 seconds remaining, sending Evans to the hne for Southern. Evans couldn't converl on both sides of a two-shot foul, and Chesapeake had an opportunity to tie or talce the lead. Chesapeake's David Jones drove the baseline , as Hannon fouled Jones trymg to block a potent1al tying lay in wnh seven seconds remammg. Jones h1t the first free throw to cut the lead to 75-74. On the second Jones free throw, Southern appeared to get a big break . as Jone s couldn'1 connect.

"Our kids left their hearls out on the lloor tonight.It'sjust a real, real ' hame that these kids had to lose this game.

"We didn't play very good basketball 10night. I told the ktds before we came up here that anytime you play Southern, especially here, - they ' II gt ve you everything they ' ve got," Persm said. "We're heading mto· league play beginning next week and if our ballclub plays and shoots from the perimeter like we did tomght, we fintsh last 10 our league. I hope this will work as a mtd-season wake up call for our kids, because with the schools we have to face down the stretch, we can't afford to play like this," Persin added.

OUver added 4 points and Michael Ray Anderson I to round out the locals' scoring. The Big Blacks used a pair of mini-runs, one 4-0 and one 6-0 to build a nine point lead with just a minute and a half left in the stanza. But the Marauders fought back, scoring 8 of the next 10 points to cut the deficit to three at the end of the quaner. Nick Haning had the hot hand for the Meigs quintet, scorin g the visitors • final six points. That set up the fast and furiou s final frame where the Blacks had the trifecta of big plays to put the Marauders away. "Offensively we played very well," said PPHS Head Coach Lennie Barnette. "We passed the ball well and shot relatively well. But, our defense was not very good. We Jet them penetrate too much which resulted in some easy baskets for them that they should not have gotten. This was a very good basketball game, though. It was the kind of game that I would like to watch if I weren't involved. Meigs has a nice team.

Southern built the lead to 17-0 when Williams scored on a five-yard run just over five minutes info the second quarter. His score was set up by Ricky Arvie's recovery of a fumbled punt by Tremayne Bridges. A&M scored a safety 6: 10 before halftime when John Jenkins snapped the ball over Nicholas's head and Nicholas kicked it out of the back of the end zone.

(AP) If you're hunting for California grizzly bears. you can forget Yosemite. The only places you'II find one are on the state flag, the state seal and University of California souvenirs. The official state animal is extinct and wildlife advocates say it should be brought back, much as wolves are being hrought back to Yellowstone National Park. They insist thai grizzlies could roam in what's left of the California wilderness and residents could learn 10 li\·e with them respectfully. "I think it would be absolutely lovely tf there were a [•lace for grizzly bears in California," said Dave Graber, a scientist with the National Btological Service in Sequoia and Kmgs Canyon national parks. "B ut I do not think there is a place for grizzly.bears in California. We used il up," Graber said. "Now, if you could empty Fresno and Tulare counties from the bottom to the top, il would be an ideal bear sanctuary, and would probably be an •mprovement. " Wild animals are an emotional issue in California, where urban sprawl has pushed more residents into the fringes of wildlife habitat. Urbanites also crowd the state's parks and forests for recreation. Two women have been ki lied by mountain lions in California in the past year, spurring efforts in the Legislature to overturn the state ban on hunting the big cats. Grizzly bears would likely produce greater alarm. The California Mountain Lion Foundation has published a proposal called "l3ring Back the California Grizzly.'' "Establishing a viable populaoon of grizzly bears. which is a wideranging omnivore, ... has never been tried before," foundation director Mark Palmer said. He is trying lo raise $45,000 for a serious study of the idea. TI1e proposal is "refreshing and al least worthy of serious consideration," Stephen Herrero, a bear expert at the University of Ca lgary. Canada, told Palmer. " If you were successful. it would be an act of unprecedented conservation sigmficance, but it would also change the basic nature of the wilderness expencnce in the State of California," Herrero wrote.

The Rocky Mountain bighorn, the largest of the spec ies with males ranging from 160 to 316 pounds, found in all the mountain ·states and prov inces. Thanks to habitat preservation and restoration and translocation programs in which sheep are trapped and moved to restored habitat, the number of sheep is increasing. But they still are only a tiny fract ion of their historic numbers. There are at least 18.230 dall t\liOOLEPORT • 0"' NewYear'6 sheep in Alaska and 5,882 desert bighorns in the U.S., says Boyd, who has just published a population study of sheep in this country. It docs not include sheep in Canada and Mexico. There are 9,753 Rocky Mountain bighorn s, primarily in Wyoming, Montana and Colorado, and 5,447 of their close cousins the Ca1ifornia bighorn, with the largest populations in Oregon and Idaho, he says. He stresses these are minimum numbers, and the actual counts- if sheep could be counted - would be higher. The stone sheep is found mostly in Canada, so Boyd has no numbers for it. 1983 SUBIRU msn 3.8 V-6 eng., PS, PB, tilt & 4 cylinder engine 5 speed · transmission, AM/FM stereo cassette, air cond ., extra · clean, 29,000 miles.

Despite the record firearms deer season harvest which occurred earlier this month, about two of •every three hunters did nol lag a deer. With the ability to lake as many as four antlerless deer in Ohio's five urban deer zones, there remains plenty of good hunting opponunilies for the statewide primitive season and remainder of the archery season. Ohio's archery deer season continu's through Jan. 31. Sunday deer hunting is prohibited. "We would expect black powder and archery hunters to tag a record number of deer, but we still have to wail and see what kind of hunting conditions we have Jan. 4-6," Stoll said. The division reminds hunters lo be particularly careful during the primitive deer season and that the wearing of lrunler orange is required. Six hunter fatalities occurred during · the two-week firearm s deer season, which included three . fatal selfinflicted wounds. 7,999 8 1114 LINCOLN CONtiNENtAL c.yl. efilglne, power steenng, power brakes, auto. 3.8 V6 eng., PS, PB, auto. trans., air cond., AM/FM trans ., P. win . & P.

It's so special that one hunter bid $281,000 during an auction for a permit to hunt a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Montana. " It 's a neat animal. I've hunted sheep three times. I've never killed one, " says Raymond Boyd, sheep biologist for the Bureau of Land Management in Denver. "To me it was worth what! paid for the license just to be out in the kind of country they're found in. It 's a wildernesstype animal." "The sheep is just the pinnacle of all wildlife as far as we're concerned," says Leland Speakes Jr. of Cleveland, Miss., first vice president of the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep. The conservation group, based in Cody, Wyo., held the auction at which the Montana permit was sold. · That night a Rocky Mountain bighorn permit from Alberta went for $225,000, an Arizona desert sheep permit went for $233,000, a New Mexico desert sheep permit, one of only two tags the slate is issuing thi s year. went for $123.000 and a California desert sheep tag brought $110,000. "I'd say at a midlifc ate. I became ju<t addicted not on ly to the animal itself, but the place where they live ," says Speakes, who described the land in Mississippi "' "flat as your desk lop. " People that hunt other animd,, they never get where the sheep live, the very lop of the mountain. "When you're sheep hunting you get 10 the top of the mountain. The beauty up there . the habitat where wild~hecp live, is un surpasS<d." Speakes has taken 13 sheep, includmg al leas t three each or the four species of Nonh American sheep. It's notjusl hunting sheep. Many people just want to sec one. Colorado has built a view in g station al the edge of a winter pasture along Interstate 70 ncar Georgetown. "We had 32.000 people put quarters in spotting scopes 1hcre in 19 months, just to try to see a sheep," Boyd says. " I think people become fascinated with sheep, almost obsessed with them ," says Karen Werbelow. foun dation eXCCUIIVC director. Since it was founded in 1977, the foundation has rai sed and co nlributed more than $11 million 10 wild sheep conservation programs in thc United States and Canada. This year the foundation raised $3 .2 million, $1.47 million of that• - through the auction of 14 sheep hunting permits at its annual banquet in March in Phoeni>, Ariz. The permits were donated by stales and the Npvajo Nations, which benefit from the foundation 's conservation grants. The foundation is sending $1.3 million back immediately to the 13 wild sheep range slates for conservat ion work. Thev are : Alaska. Arizona, California, Colorado , Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. "Our guys get sheep fever,'.'. says Ms. Werbelow. When they are bidding on the permits, " there's an awareness of what they 're doing IO ensure the future of wild sheep.".. For the hunter who gets a sheep, " it's far more than just a successful hunt," she says. "It 's almost like a moment of truth, something they reflect back on for the rest of their lives." There are four species of North American wild' sheep: Along the River By LISA PETERSON Times-Sentinel staff GALLIPOLIS - Promises never kept. That may be a good way to describe people's compilations of resolutions throughout the years . First comes the excited anticipation of a fresh start with the ensuing year and an inventory of the previous one. Then goals are set for self improvement of every kind followed with an honest attempt to change. "Making a resolution is generally a decision you make to move toward optimal health or a change you desire to make in order to achieve your highest potential for well-being," said Edward R. Sofranko, Ed. D., professor of psychology at the University of Rio Grande. And ever so slowly it seems most people eventually regress into their old ways. Resolutions sound good, but then why do so many people fail to follow through on their resolutions, Sofranko asked. "People fear change," he said, "because it involves taking risks and feeling out of control, and so people resist changing because staying the same reduces the tension and anxiety associated with the fear of the unknown." But there are steps to improve the chance of resolutions surviving the year. "lfyou're·going to overcome this fear you will need a willingness 10 take risks and thai involves courage and persistence. In other words you wi II need to find ways to encourage yourself to keep your resolutions to change," Sofranko said. Following are five ways he suggests overcoming the barriers to change. • Stop blaming yourself. Self-blame distracts you from finding a solution to your problems. Instead of focusing on your past failures, build on your strengths. • Have confidence in yourself. If you have negative expectations it is likely lo tum into a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you are successful celebrate, reward yourself and tell all your friends . • Value yourself. Stop attaching strings 10 everything you do in order to fell loved. Feel loved and valued JUS! for being. • Teach yourself new skills that will help you overcome the "learned helplessness" associated with feeling dependent. Working knowledge about what we are trying to change reduces the fear of the unknown . • Affiliate with others for strength. Our body and spirit are uplifted through the basic human support we receive from others. It is a safety-net that gives us the courage that is necessary in_order lo take the risks 10 change. QUIT SMOKING Moving toward optimal health, a great many resolution lists may inclucje kicking the habit. According to the American Cancei Society 54 ;nillion Americans still smoke. Of these smokers 85 percent would like 10 quit. ACS offers a few basic strategies that have helped smokers quit over the years. •Stay positive; when you wake up each morning, promise yourself Ihal you won 'I smoke a cigarette thai day. •Picture success; plan ahead and think of how you'll deal with stressful situations without lighting up. •Take a breather; relaxation exercises help relieve urges to smoke. Take a deep breath, hold it a second, then release it very, very slowly. Remember - urges to smoke are temporary. •Work out; exercise, like swimming, running and racket sports helps relieve tension and your urge to smoke. Also, you 'II enjoy holiday feasts without having to worry about dieting later. {.OSING WEIGHT In a recent study by the University of Maryland School of Medicine a reduction in eating was found as the best single way 10 lose weight. II is suggested, though, that a proper diet with an exercise regimen produces the healthiest results. FITNESS IN THE NEW YEAR · Virginia Russell, an employee at Lady's Preference fitness <enter, takes a stroll on a treadmill. Many people will make resolutions to lose weight in the new year. Making a resolution is generally a dedsion you make to move toward optimal health or a change you desire to make in order to achieve your highest potential for well-being, said Edward R.

If you lose just one pound a week this year, on Dec. 31, you'll be 52 pounds lighter. •Make a commitment that's so strong that "slipping" off your well-laid plan is simply a non-negotiable issue. KICKING THE HABIT- Many people will vow to quit smoking in '96. According to the American Cancer Society 54 million Americans still smoke. •Be the "boss" ofwhal goes in your mouth. Blaming others for your bc1ng overweight (e.g .. " I h<id to cal it , it was offered to me ") is a way or avoiding personal responsibility for your own eating. No one's holding your nose and force -feeding you. •Listen to your stomach. Ask yourself whot's hungry - your stomach or your e' cs? Eal when your srom,,,h is hungry; stop eating when your stomach is no longer hungry (even though there may be food remaining.) . By BRENDA C. COLEMAN AP Medical Writer CHICAGO (AP) - The best exercise for your heart is pushing yourself away from the table, a new study suggests. Losing weight by itself works better than aerobic exercise by itself in reducing the risk of heart disease, a study of fat men found. The message, though, is to do both, researchers say. "We feel thai exercise is beneficial, but particularly if you're overweight, you need to exercise in conjunction with weight loss," said the lead researcher, Dr. Leslie I. Kalze l of the University of Maryland School of Med icine. ~ Katzel and his colleagues studied Ill men, ages 46 to 80, who were sedentary and obese - thai IS, 20 percent to 60 percent overweight - but were otherwise healthy. The men were divided into groups: one pursued weight loss without exercise; the second exercised withoi.tl trying lo lose weight; and the third neither exercised nor dieted . After nine months. the weight-loss group had dropped an a vcrage of 20 pounds, while members of the exercise group had improved their fitne<S by 16 percent, measured by how much oxygen their bodies consumed when they exercised. Researchers were surprised to find that weight loss clearly produced more benefits than exercise alone: -Levels of "good" cholesterol improved 13 percent in the weight-loss group, vs. virtually no change in the exercise group. -Blood pressure dropped 8 percent in the weight-loss group, compared with a 2 percenllo 3 percent drop among exercisers. -Blood sugar, a yardstlck for diabetes, dropped 9 percent among the weight-loss group, vs. no change among exercisers. "Based on these results, we feel that if you're overweight, you really need to lose weight to decrease your chances of developing heart disease," Katzel said. The findings were published in today's issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. The results are expected lo be the same among women, who are being studied separately, Katzel said. Weight loss is probably more beneficial because fat deposits in the abdomen are believed to be particularly harmful , affecting blood sugar and metabolism, Katzel said. Weight loss helps get rid of that fat. Past research has found that leaner people seem to benefit more from exercise than obese people. Thai suggests !hal fal around the midsection blunts the benefits of exercise, Kalzcl said. The exercisers worked on bicycles and treadmills, with supervision, three times a week for 45 minutes a time, Kalzcl said. AI first, they worked at SO percent 10 60 percent of their maximum heart rate, but by the end were up to about75 percent of maximum- "pretty hard ," he said. Ai1 expert not involved in the study said he is not sure exercise got an adequate· chance. Middle-age and older men "'"Ytako a long time lo respond lo cxerci c.e, said Dr. William R.

Kygerville saw turn of unusual happenings in 193o·s By JAMES SANDS Special Correspondent "Queer things continue 10 hap' pen al Kyger vi II e. Yesterday after- • noon the residents of the burg, startled by a terrific noise, thrust their heads out of their rattling · windows and asked one another if there had been an earthquake. Imagine their ~econdary surprise to iearn that one of C.A. Bradbury's empty barrels had blown up right out in his side yard. All of a sudden she just went bloo-ee!" (Gallia Tribune) .: It seems that Mr. Bradbury was luning up the barrel for the reception of fresh cider. He used what he thought was lime to clean it out. Afier shaking the barrel a bit, so thatthe limey water would slosh about in all the corners and cover all the inside $Urfacer, he set it down . Bradbury !IJen loaded his pipe with strong tobacco 'and undertook to strike a match across the barrel's lop. The match ignited as it reached the bung-hole and then it happened. The barrel was lying on its side. Both ends blew oul but the vertical staves remained intact. Bradbury's granddaughter Allie Francis Bradbury, 4, was playing with her loy wagon in front of the store. Pieces of the barrel had whizzed by Allie, but one struck her lillie finger of her left hand. The finger was mashed and lacerated. She was in such pain that before they could xray her hand, they had to put her to sleep. Allie was not seriously harmed though her toy wagon which received · the blunt of the shrapnel, was reduced to kindling. George Lemley of Poplar Ridge was sprayed with splinters across his chest. Mr. Leml_ey was standing mer 100 yards fr!]gHile sto~e. Pieces of the barrel were found in the church yard 100 yards in the other direction. The verdict of the villagers was that Bradbury had used carbide to clean with instead of lime. They also concluded that the explosion was the most noise heard in the village since a certain mother used to yell at her wandering child at the top of her lungs, "El-1-mu-u-ur."

Nasdaq posts year-end gains NEW YORK (AP) - In what has become an end-of-year ritual on Wall Street, the nation's two largest stock exchanges touted a raft of figures to portray themselves as bigger and stronger than the other. But even as both markets surged in 1995, the Nasdaq Stock Market came out ahead of the New York Stock Exchange on several key measures of stock market strength. Some observers said Friday the widened Nasdaq lead suggests further inroads by the once fledg ling market i nto the world's pre-eminent stock exchange. CompuServe imposes censorship NEW YORK (AP)- Cyberspace enthusiasts reacted with alarm after CompuServe Inc., under pressure from prosecutors in Germany, blocked its 4 million subscribers around the world from reaching sexoriented portions of the Internet. The move was the most drastic instance yet of on-line censorship and suggested that the Internet may not be the borderless technology many had hoped it would be. "Their decision also seems to suggest that any one area of the country or the world can effectively dictate what all users get to access," Kit Frankonis, who works for a San Francisco CD-ROM publisher and helped form a group called Hands Off the Net, said Friday. Investor admits to losing money NEW YORK (AP)- Another major investor came forward claimin g that California investment adviser Jay Goldinger lost millions of dollars through improper trades. ' Triton Group Ltd.. a San Diego company, said Friday that Goldingcr and his Capital Insight firm los! $10 million of a predecessor company's money, bringing to nearly $50 million the total client money said to be lost by Goldinger. Documents reveal political worries SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP)- Some Orange County officials worried more about political reaction than financial problems when losses led to bankruptcy a year ago, according to grand jury testimony made public this week. At least two dozen people knew the county was in trouble months before the bankruptcy filing but kepi quiet, according 10 the transcripts. The documents include more than 9,000 pages, recording hundreds of hours of testimony by county employees, invcstigalors and elcclcd officials.

Trader won't contest sentence SINGAPORE (AP)- Nick Leeson gambled away the fortunes of Britain's oldest investment bank. But when it came to his ow n prison senlence, the trader took no chances. Leeson announced Friday he will not appeal a six-year jail term for his role in the $1.38 billion collapse of Barings Bank in February. An appeal might have earned him his freedom earlier, but with a risk: The judge could have increased his sentence to the maximum of sev-. • en years .

NAACP'wins corporate donation BALTIMORE (AP)- Just weeks after promising to reopen a corporate stream of donations that had been reduced to a trickle, neWly appointed NAACP president Kweisi Mfume welcomed a $100,000 pledge from Nissan Motor Corp. T,he donation from the automaker is the first major gift to the civil rights organization since the Maryland congressman was named president Dec. 9. By JOYCE ,M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer The more things change, the more they stay the same - at least when you're talking about the calendar and where the economy is right now. A look at what happened in business this past week, and what's likely to happen as 1995 turns into 1996: Same old, same old Just as a new year really doesn't mean any big shifts in our lives, the advent of 1996 isn' t likely to bring much change in the economy. Statistics released the last week of 1995 showed an economy that continued to weaken. The Conference Board said consumer confidence was a little shakier- no great surprise, given how badly the Christmas season went- and the nation's Realtors said existing home sales were down for the second straight month during November. Consumers are the driving force m the economy, so if they 're holding back, it's unlikely that business act ivity is suddenly going to take off either. Especially in the early days of the year, when most of us would rather burrow under the covers than start on any big projects or spending sprees. Businesses also are taking it easy. The number of help-wanted ads in newspapers fell in November as businesses adopted a wait-and-see attitude toward the economy. Another trend is expected to continue into 1996: a decline in interest rates. It's widely believed the Federal Reserve, which pushed rates lower in mid-December, will have to make another downward adjustment early in the new year. Auld Lang Syne Still, there are some changes to report ... As 1995 leaves, it takes with it two federal agencies that have accomplished their missions. The Resolution Trust Corp., created in 1989 to salvage whatever thf government could from the savin'gs and loan crisis of the 1980s, was expiring at midnight Sunday. So was the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, which closed about one in five military bases during the five years it was in business. The Interstate Commerce Commission will make it into 1996, but if President Clinton signs legislation to shut that agenGy down too, this will be the last New Year 's the 109year-old ICC will see. Winners, losers WINNERS : Federated Depart· ment Stores Inc., which is finally getting the chance to expand its Bloomingdale's chain into California. Federated is converting four of the Broadway stores it recently acquired into Bloomie's branches. LOSERS: Home furnishings retailer Pier 1 Imports Inc., which said it lost $20 million because of a consultant's "inappropriate trading activities." The consultant is wellknown financ1al analyst Jay Goldinger. SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN: Medical device maker Cordis Corp., which is no longer sure of its merger with Johnson & Johnson. J&J delayed the $1.8 billion buyout to take another look at Cordis, but industry analysts don't think the deal will collapse. Ticker GE Capital, the finance arm of General Electric Co. is buying Aon Corp.'s Life Insurance Co. of Virginia for $960 million ... A grand jury in New York indicted a former Daiwa Bank general manage{ in connection with the concealmenl of $1.1 billion in trading losses. Coming up : MONDAY: The world's financial markets arc closed for New Year's Day, but advertisers will be busy, with the usual TV blitz during college howl games. TUESDAY: Tl)e National Association of Purchasing Management issues its report on manufacturing during De~ember. THURSDAY: Major retailers and the Big Three automakers announce their sales figures for December. The best-se lling car in the United States during 1995 may be known . If the budge! impasse is resolved and the government is back in business, the Commerce Department may release November factory orders figures. F~IDAY: Also pending a resumption of government business, the Labor Department is scheduled to release December employment figures . And the winter Consumer Electronics Show begins in Las Vegas with previews of some of the gizmos that may be under Christmas trees just under a year from now.

His hair is falling out and he feel s sick. He worries a lot. His "so-called career," as he puts it , just isn't turning out the way he planned. Over the past six years, he has lost his bank job once and barely managed to hang on twice as corporate merger mania sweeps through the banking industry. Every time he gets settled with one bank , a new one takes over and either lays him off or makes him reapply for his own job. , "It hasn't gotten me anywhere," Romulo said. " I haven't mov.ed up since '92." At a furious pace, American industries are consolidating and downsizing to become more globally competitive and profitable. And in no industry is it as rapid as banking, where the dollar value of mergers and acquisitions has more than tripled since a previous record was set in 1991. In the process, employees are being laid off or bounced from company to company. And those who survive arcn 't so much grateful as they are cynical and insecure, never knowing where the ax will fall next. For workers who once thought they ~auld stay with a company for a whole career if they got to work on time and did a good job, their worlds are in chaos. Romulo's future is so uncertain, he 's even afraid to have children. "It's like I don'! want to have kids if I have to go through sales (mergers) and things like that," said Romulo, a stocky man with a neatly trimmed beard. "How am I going to support my kid until he goes to coliege? There's no money there," he said. "''d he worried because I don ' t think I have a steady job." Merger mania is so pervas1 ve, most of Romulo 's friends have gone through at least one and some have lived through four mergers or aequisilions. Even Romulo's girlfriend fears she will he one of 850 employees marked for layoffs when her employer, Mitsuhishi Bank, merges with Bank of Tokyo to become the world's largest bank. · "There is no such thing as job security anymore," said Sherri Barfield-Bersonda, a colleague who worked with Romulo at Bankers Trust before First Bank Systems bought their corporate trust division. " It 's like starting all over'again. If someone tells you this is a good, stable job, there's no such thing ." Romulo knew he would face challenges when he fled the civil war in El Salvador with his mother and brother 15 years ago. But at age 20, he dreamed of one day having a steady job, a family and even buying a house. He slartcd working as a janitor while taking English classes at night. Then he went to a local business training school and became a bank teller. He had temporary jobs as, office assistants for six years before he got a permanent job at Bank of California - an entry level job, lobe sure, but he figured he was on his way. That's until 1989 - when his hair started falling out. His employer, the corporate trust division of Bank uf California, was being purchased by Bankers Trust. The new bank announced it would absorb all the old employees, but Romulo had a nagging suspicion. "You knew you were going to have a job eventually, but you didn't know for how long ," he said. "It was a scare." Facing competition from other instilulions providing lending services and burdened with overcapacity, hanks arc consolidating, cutting costs and getting rid of redundant employees. From the pre-recession late ·1980s lo the present, !he number of U.S. banks has dropped from 14,000 lo 10,000. And !here is some speculation that only 5,000 will be left hy the !urn of the century as hanks continue to consolidate. Through mid-Decemher, 587 U.S . hanks were targets of mergers and acquisilions. The amount paid for those hanks reached nearly $70 billion through mid-December of 1995 - a threefold increase from 1991 - and 15.5 percent of the total value of U.S. mergers and acquisitions in 1995. Ranking second is mergers and acquisitions involving radio and tele- vision broadcast stations, worth $54 billion - most notabLy Disney's takeover of Capital Cities-ABC for $19 billion last summer. In August, September and October of this year alone, 9,677 people were laid off because of mergers, making UP. 18.3 percent of total job cuts for that period, according to a study by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a Chicago-based outplacement company. Romulo's been there, done that. In 1992, his career stopped dead. And this time his blood pressure skyrocketed - a symptom, he knew, of another corporate purchase. His employer, the corporate trust division of Bankers Trust, was sold to First Bank Systems and he was told to reapply for his job. Although he had just been promoted by Bankers Trust, the new bank said they didn 't want him because he didn 't have enough ex[ierience in his new job. He was laid off with three monlhs severance pay._ Romulo got a lemporary job as .a data processor at Bank of America - a demotion . " I tried to tell them I didn't want to do that, but they said I didn't have enough experience on my last position . That kind of ruined my goals," he said. He was eventually hired full time and promoled to administrative assistant - finally relurning to the level he had attained two years earlier. By the third time his cmployyr was acquired by another bank, just last November, Romulo had almost resigned himself to a life of unc~r­ tainty. 'But that hasn't stopped his hair from thinning or his face from hreaking out. "When they announced the sille of !his department, I thought, 'Oh, no. not again 1' I felt comfortable where I am and I thought I was going to get somewhere here." · But, looking on the bright side, hc thought maybe this was his chance to ditch the banking business and tcy desktop publishing. And if he didn 't do that, he knew how to work the employment agencies and this time, "'I'm going to put my foot down and say I don 't want anything less tlia,n wha!l'm doing." The new bank, First Bank Systems, was the same bank that laid him off three years ago. ,seef production expected to expand WASHINGTON (AP) - Beef production is expected to keep expanding in 1996, meaning more bargains for shoppers but trouble for . the cattle industry, the Denver-based National Cattlemen's Association says. " A year of slim returns for cattle feeders and substantial losses for most returns for cattle feeders and substantial losses for most cow-calf operators is expected," ·said Bob Drake, president of the organization. The association says production will climb 3 percent in 1996, rising from 25.1 billion pounds this year to 25.9 billion. Consumption will reach 68 pounds per person, up from about . 69 pounds. · Production of other meats, espeIn 1864, Congress authorized cially poultry, will also rise, holding the use of the phrase "In God We Trust" on U.S . coins. I Sunday, December 31; 1995 down prices. Average retail beef prices as reported hy the Agrjculture Department fell 2 percent in 1995, the group said. Prices could drop another 2 percent in 1996. The store price of beef averaged $2.60 a pound ·in 1995. The advertised feature price was even lower, $2.40. Much store-bought beef moves at the lower advertised price. NCA surveys have shown retail prices recently at the lowes't levels . since 1990. Cattle numbers have risen from 95.8 million head in 1990 to an estimated 105.5 million in 1996. Cowcalf operators expanded their basic breeding because of stable costs and good prices over six or seven years. Because it takes years !O start and · . . . stop production cycles, beef output will peak in 1997, even though producers will start thinning herds. in 1996. . The thinning activity will mel!h temporary increases in slaughter, putting more downward pressure on prices over the short run. WASHINGTON (AP) - More 'than 680,000 acres of highly er<X)J ble arid other environmentally sen' sitive cropland were enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program under a new signup in September, the Agriculture Department said. "The bidding and enrollment ·processes for this signup were mod: ified to ensure that only the most environmentally sensitive lands were accepted," Agriculture Secretary Dim .Glickman said. ;· � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
