"He liked people in general and wasn't afraid to let them know that." . The Cheshire-area nativ~ was graduated from ,.t)te UDiversity of Rio Grill1de iQ 1967 and received a master's degree in school adminisiration from Ohio University in 1969. He taught in Lorain County, was a principal in Point Pleasant, W.Va., a superintendent of the Kyger Creek Local Schools and served as assistant superintendent of the Gallia County Local Schools. He later owned and operated Cremeans Concrete and Supply with his son, John. Cremeans' initial run for office came in 1992, when he opposed Mark Malone of South Point for state representative. He defeated incumbent U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland two years later. In 1996, Strickland narrowly reclaimed the Sixth District, which at the time stretched from Marietta to Cincinnati's eastern suburbs. Th~ 1996 CremeansStrickland matchup drew attention from the national media, and campaign stops were made for Cremeans by political heavyweights such as Reps. Sonny Bono and John Kasich, and U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine. "I respected Frank as a man of great conviction wbo passionately cared · about people," De Wine said Friday. "I remember the' good times we spent together working on his campaigns and 'on my campaigns." Cremeans ran again for the House in the 1991bGOP primary, and he was a primary candidate for the U.S. Senate from Ohio in 2000. "He had to run like the dickens to win it (in 1994)," !;:vans said. "But• work never scared Frank, either." Strickland, speaking Friday from Steubenville, said he was "shocked and saddened" at the news of Cremeans' passing. Politics aside, they shared similar interests, the congressman said. "Frank was a very patriotic man who loved his country and community, and my sympathy goes to his wife . and family," Strickland said. "It's incredible that someone as vital, engaged and energetic as Frank: is gone.. "Frank: and I had a mutual desire to serve and in that, we were very alike," he added. "He worked his heart out and I always believed that because of lhat, he was my most challenging opponent." In addition to his son John arid daughter Cari, Cremeans and his wife Carol were parents of another daughter, Leigh Ane Moore. They have two grandchildren.

Point Pleasant native Jeff Wamsley, 41, of Gallipolis, Ohio, owner of Criminal Records, also believes the emphasis should be placed on expanding job opportunities in the area. · "More jobs, more economic development especially downtown would be the main thing," Wamsley said. William Harter, 76, a retired welder from Gallipolis Ferry, thought more jobs are needed in Mason County. He also thought efforts should be undertaken to repeal the food tax.

NATIONAL VIEW Bad trend • Cheating, thift make disturbing inroads in our national life • The Press-Republican, Plattsburgh, N.Y., on cheating and children: If children are the rellection of the adults around them. it would seem that grown-ups are greatly in need of smoe·ethical grooming. if not a full-body morality ll)akeover. High-school students are che<c~ting , stealing and lying more than ever. And it's not a phase, but a trend that's been rising for a decade. According to a recent survey of 12.000 students by the Joseph Institute of Ethics, students who cheated on an exam at least once in the past year jumped from 61 percent in 1992 to 74 percent in 2002. And that's not all. Those stealing frorn a store went from 31 percent to 38 percent; and lying to parents - from 83 percent to a startling 93 percent. Just since 2000, teenage cheating rose from 71 percent.to 74 percent, while those who would lie to land a good job spurted from 28 percent tq 39 percent. We need only to look at this year's headlines to see why the trend to cheat and steal is increasing. ·The news of Enron and other huge American corporations that bilked their investors out of hundreds of millions ~dollars was on kids radar screens if only for the amount of newspaper and television coverage it received .... :; Popular film star Winona Ryder, no stranger to young . theatergoers, last week was punished in a court of law for -v-1rying to rip off an exclusive clothing store by attempting to walk out with more than $5,000 in merchandise. She initiaJly claimed a movie .director had ordered her to do it in preparation for a role .... · So, besieged by corporate corruption, energy scandals, consumer fraud and celebrity behavior, we need not wonder what's the matter with kids today. Whatever it is, they're coming by it very naturally. NO SPIN ZONE • Here's some double-crossing on aglobal basis !,!!!

It's going to be an elaborate "black tie" affair in a castle in Europe. The young man's . family is enormous) y wealthy, ' and his siblings are all doctors or lawyers. Some of the wealthiest people in the world will attend the wedding. On the other hand, our combined income is less than $30,000 a year. -we pay our bills on time, but we have nothing extra at the end of the month. The good news is that the groom-to-be's family has contributed a lot \tlf money toward the wedding. The bad news is that they're asking me why we haven't contributed any. Our daughter mentioned that some of her friends' parents have taken out a second mortgage on their homes so they can give their daughters their dream weddings. (We live in an apartment.) Jenny hasn't lived at home for 12 years and makes more money than I ever will. Abby, what is expected of me and my family? How can we !Qplain to Jenny that we are happy for her and love her, but; cannot and will not use our smaJl retirement savings to pay for her elaborate extravaganza? As it is, we will all have to travel to her castle, and pay for hotel rooms, tuxes, plus give them a lovely gift. We . need your expert advice- and fast!- NOT EVEN CLOSE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK • f\\ Dear Abby . ADVICE "nEAR NOT EVEN CLOSE: Do nqt allow yourself to be stampeded. !' ve said it before and I'll say it again: Under no circumstances should you mortgage your future to pay for a wedding. A wedding is a gift, not an obligation. Your daughter has chosen sorne\l!ing that's beyond your means. If ~he groom's family is unaware of this fact of life, please waste n'o time in explaining it to ·them. There should be no shame in doing so. It's reality. DEAR ABBY: I am miserable. I am married and the mother of two children. I don't know how to get out of my marriage. My husband is so volatile he hollers, throws things, and is loud and ·verbally abusive to me. He also acts this way with the children. I do not love him. I married too young and for . all the wrong reasons. When we argue, he goes running to my family and tells them a sob story, and they blame me. When I try to talk to them, they refuse to listel} and push me to stay with him. I don ' t want to have to walk out on all of my possessions, but I will if I have to. I am willing to do almost anything to get out of this marriage. . The last time we went through. this, he wouldn't leave. Now he is saying he will and promises he will not contact my family. However, I'm afraid to trust. Please help me. - CONFUSED AND UNSURE IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR CONFUSED: Since you have already decided that the marriage was a mistake and not worth trying to save, consult a lawyer who specializes in family law. He or she will counsel you about what each of you is ·entitled to and how to ensure that your husband leaves. Establish how you will support yourself and the children when the time comes. Do not depend up<)n your family for emotional support and you will not be disappointed. It is said that "breaking up is hard to do," but your lawyer can help you through the process. No one comes through a divorce entirely unscathedbut it's better than remaining in a loveless marriage with a volatile, verbally abusive spouse.

And even though most doctors make a very decent living, even they cringe when insurance premiums are raised through the roof by 80, I00 or even a staggering 200·percent. . My grandfather, Edgar Joseph Hennes, was a doctor back in "the good old days." Doc, as he was fondly called, practiced in Lansing, Mich. His wife, Dawn, was a registered nurse and the pair practiced good old-fashioned medicine. Patients would come to the house for most .appointments and I remember my grandmother, dressed in her white nurse's uniform, escorting patients in to see Doc after taking blood pressures, temperatures and whatever else had to be done.

(AP) - Tom Coughlin flew to Cincinnati on Friday to interview for the · Bengals' coaching job. Coughlin, fired on Monday by the Jacksonville Jaguars, is one of five reported candidates for the Cincinnati job. Also on the list are Washington defensive coordinator Marvin 1,-ewis, Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey and two Bengals assistanis ·_ defensive coordinator Mark Duffner and running backs coach Jim Anderson. Coughlin said he was looking fo rwaro to talking with Ben gals owner Mike Brown. "They're a talented grou~. certainly in an excellent position in the draft," Coughlin said in an interview with WTEV-TV. "It will be an interestin~ meeting." Coughlin was fired by the Jaguars after going 72-64 over eight seasons. Some say he might be a good fit with th.e Bengals, who are largely viewed as undisciplined underachievers. The Bengals have the smallest scouting staff in the league, but Coughlin might actually like that, given his liking for hav. i ng control of personnel moves. Brown won't comment on the team's search for a coach. Brown fired Dick LeBeau on . Monday after the Bengals went 2-14, the worst record in team history.

After the fiCSt quarter the score was 15-7, but Point Pleasant had not played their best ball yet. In the second quarter Point Pleasant rattled oft' an 8-0 run that extended the Lady Knights lead to 14 and seemed to put the game out of reach for Ravenswood. Point Pleasant built their lead in the second quarter bY, going back to the basics. Bridget Ntbert scored 6 of her game high 22 points in the second quarter and forced Ravenswood into double and triple teams that opened up s<>me room for the other Lady Knights. "We're working on taking the double and triple teams away by bringing Bridget (Nibert) to the outside," said coach Bodkino '11 opens up a lot of other people on the inside." By half-time Point Pleasant was fmnly in control of the game with a commanding 26-10 lead. Point Pleasant built their lead by relying on their defense. The Lady Kni~hts continually forced Ravenswood mto turnovers and missed shots that allowed Point Pleasant to slowly build onto their lead. The La!!y Knights held Ravenswood to only three points in the second quarter. fn the third quarter Point Pleasant played conservatively and protected their lead against a potential Ravenswood comeback. Amber Keefer had a fairly quiet offensive night but played tough and physical defense in the thin! quarter that kept Ravenswood behind and let Point Pleasant extend their lead to 41-21. In the fourth quarter, Point Pleasant proved that they have a team full of talented players.

"I just haven't heard any good reason for why public school kids, .parochial school kids and private school kids can play school sports, but home-schooled kids can't." ' The lawsuit names as defendants the SSAC, a private organization that ~ov­ ems school athletics in West Virgmia, and the state Board of Education. School board officials and the SSAC argue that the rule is necessary to proteet public education and to ensure student athletes meet certain academic standards. The SSAC also requires athletes to maintain a 2.0 grade average . "You don't want to have it wide open so just anybody can go to any school at any time," satd Mike Hayden, SSAC executive director. "The home-schoolers chose not to go to school; therefore, they've made a choice, and it's not part of public education." The family hopes their lawsuit will resolve a question that the state Supreme Court has considered but never answered. In 1999, the court heard two similar challenges to the SSAC rule but refused to decide whether home-schooled students ·had the right to try out for public school teams. Mannington Middle School wrestling coach Rick Rinehart said he would be willing to let Aaron Jones join the team because the coach does "not believe any child should be denied this opportunity." Hayden said the SSAC isCtoncerned that failing athletes may switc)j to horne schooling to get around the 2.0 GPA rule because the state does not record home-schooled students' grades .. Minor said the state has other standards to ensure that home-schooled students are getting a proper education. "If it's good enough for the state, why should it not be good enough for the SSAC?" he asked.

SOUP TO e Lummox 33 Hopper We all try to learn from our mistakes, but Leon Trotsky had a different spin on that: "Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies." In this deal, de· darer did very well to anticipate the danger to her contract. Can you spot it? Against four spades, West leads the club queen: two, three, king. Sittin·g South, how would you continue? Three spades was a limit raise, promising I 0-12 support points and at least four trumps. The deal was reported in Bridge Plus magazine by North, Kitty Teltscher. It was played in the house of Scarlet and Edward Leatham, the latter being the greatgrandson of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who sponsored Howard Carter's hunt 'for King Tut' s tomb. Normally , East . would win the first trick in case South had a singleton club king, but East had spotted a way to defeat the contract. Suppose declarer immediately finesses in spades. East wins with the queen and shifts to his singleton diamond. Then; when back· in with the spade ace, he can lm. derlead in clubs to put his partner on play and receive a diamond ruff_ The declarer, Tessa Attwater, found the riposte: At trick two, she returned her club six, a pretty Scissors Coup. East won and shifted to his diamond, but when he got in with the spade queen, West was entryless. Attwater lost only two spades and one club.

Facemeyer, a Republican from · Jackson County, said that the delegation, in conjunction with Second District U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito will make inroads to widening 35 into a four-lane highway. "I think you'll see this delegation along with Congresswoman Capito getting something done," Facemeyer said. Sen.-elect Lisa D. Smith, a Putnam County Republican, said despite 35 being "not on the radar screen" of federal highway officials, Capito is lookina into the feasibility of lapping into the Dangerous Highway Fund as a mean s of funding improvements. Delegate Dale Marlin, a Democrat from Putnam County, said given the increased economic oppor· tunities an improved 35 can bring to Mason County, it should be the top priority of all elected officials.

Effective this week, the center will be closed from noon to 5 p:m. on Wednesdays, said Sharon Moles, manager of the local office at 445 Buckeye Hills Road. The office currently provides employment-related services, such as unemployment compensation and job search, matching and placement. Moles said fewer than 3 percent of customers registering for unemployment compensation · do so in person. "Most people filing for unem. ployment have found it more convenient to file over the tele· phone from the comfort of their home," said Moles. Research shows that most customers who visit one of the local offices do so on Mondays or TuesdaY.&•. )Vedn~s<,tay afterr\oon s · ~-FitditionaHy- have the least public traffic, Moles said. · ''By revising the hours we are oper\ to the public; we can make better use of the lowest trilffic period of the week to catch up on the processing of claims gen· erated during the Monday through Tuesday rush, perform job matching and make referrals," she added. The revised hours affect only walk-in customers, Moles said. Those wishing to file an unemployment compensation claim durmg that time can use the department's toll-free tel.ephone registration system by calling 1877-0HIO JOB (644-6562). ODJFS officials said that eventually, telephone registration will be the sole option for filing an unemployment claim, and the other services offered at the Rio Grande office will be provided. by One Stop centers operated through the Workforce Investment Act Currently, ODJFS is piloting the prollram in six counttes. The remainmg offices are scheduled to transition to One Stop centers by the end of 2004. Index I~ J.
