Family restaurant server
carrying load for niece
DEAR ABBY: I am putting
myself through college working nights as a server in a
small, family-owned restaurant. There are only two
-servers working nights, and a
couple of nights a week, I
share my shift with ''Jane."
Jane takes her table orders,
then expects me to deliver the
food. refill drinks, and anything else the people at her
tables might need - in addition to working my own
tables.
. My problem is that many of
the patrons at Jane's tables
directly hand me their tip,
saying I deserve it more than
she does. Even though I don't
think Jane deserves to be
tipped. I feel guilty taking the
money and always end up
putting it in Jane's tip jar.
Also, according to our
employer's policy, I could get
fired for keeping the money.
To make matters worse,
Jane is the boss's niece. This
makes me reluctant to take the
problem to him. Would it be
wrong for me to tell the
patrons at Jane 's tables that I
can't keep their tips, and leave
it up to them whether they
leave anything for Jane?
Maybe it would force Jane to
work harder. Or should I keep
things "as is" and not cause

DEAR WORKING: I have
a '1ip" for you. The boss 's
niece feels entitled, and in the
interest of family unity, your
boss will probably back her
up. This can't be the only
restaurant in town, With your
experience, you are an attractive candidate for a job elsewhere. Start looking.
DEAR ABBY: My mother
and I were discussing the traditional custom of tossing the
bride's bouquet at my wedding two years ago. The
young girl who ended up
catching it was only 12. Mom
had no problem with it at the
time, but now she does. She
says that single females trying
to catch the bouquet should be
of marrying age - and the
child who caught mine should
never have been allowed to
participate.

At most of the weddings
I've attended since then, I
have observed very young
girls· (some as young as 3)
vying for the bouquet, as well
as little boys scrambling to
catch the bride's garter
thrown by the groom. (At my
wedding, the "winner" was a
boy of 14.) What do you think
about this, Abby? Is my mother right?- MOTHER AND
DAUGHTER IN . HOUS·
TON
DE"R MOTHER AND
DAUGHTER: Since catching a bouquet or garter is no
guarantee that the person will
be the next to marry (it's "up
for grabs"), I see no reason
why any guest should be
excluded.

Cheshire decides its fate Tuesday ·
Resident urges
no vote on issue
BY KEvtN KELLY

News editor
CHESlflRE - A special election is
scheduled Thesday in Cheshire for its
dissolution as a village in light of most
of the community's sale to American
Electric Power.
But one resident who flans on staying
believes there is stil a future for
Cheshire, and is urging his neighbors to
vote against the question.
Jim Rife, a Cheshire native who
returned to live in the village early in
2002 - just before the announcement
of the a~ment- sees no reason for
consigrung Cheshire to history.
"I'm thinking we can keep our incorporation for awhile," said Rife. who
retired from Operating Engineers Union
Local 77 in Washington and whose
mother, Gladys, still resides in
Cheshire.

"We need our police protection and
the man who takes care of our town will
still be here," he added. "These are the
things I think we'll need. There are ordinances on the books to take care of the
village, and after a couple of years,
we ' II get more pop~lation ."
Village Council voted in November
to end its incorporation as a village, a
status Cheshire has held for 50 years.
The state auditor's office suggested
the move, believing the village will no
longer be an effective entity after more
than 90 percent of the property owners
in Cheshire complete sale of their land
and homes to AEP.
The auditor's staff said "after awhile,
we wouldn't serve any purpose,"
Village Clerk Jennifer Harrison noted.
"It was a recommendation from the
· state auditor," said Councilman Ron
Hammond. "He strongly recommended
this action. Those were his words.
"It's something we felt was needed to
tie things together in a professional
manner," he added.
Officials began exploring the dissolution process last June after the April16

through the Ohio Revised Code. He
advised officials that state law calls for
an election for the dissolution of a
municipality's incorporation.
Although most expect Cheshire's
head count will be depleted when those
who sold their houses and land move
away, Rife estimates between 15 and 20
people will remain.
-Rife belie.ves AEP may rent some of
the houses or property it's acquired.
Add potential tenants to the number of
those residents not leaving, and there is
the basis for Cheshire's population to
rebuild, he said.
The village boasted 221 residents last
year.
Loss of incorporation means
Cheshire's mayor and council will dissolve and the community will become

Meigs Local School Board purchases three new buses
BY

J.

MILES LAYTON

Staff wrner
POMEROY - Meigs Local School
Board accepted a bid for the purchase
price of three new school buses for the
district.
T\vo companies, Marietta Truck Sales
Co. and Edwin H. Davis and Sons, submitted bids which were within a few
hundred dollars of one anoth.!:r at about

$61,000 a bus.
While the Davis bid was nominally
cheaper, the Marietta Truck Sales won
the contract after much consideration.
Board members discussed in detail
the numerous intricate specifications
involved with each company's engine.
Again, the difference between a
Caterpillar engine and a Mercedes
engine was too close to justify one
brand or another. Engine parts, like the
chassis or the pistons. became only

slight concerns when making the decision because each type of engine
demonstrated pros and cons that only a
mechanic could appreciate.
School buses run between 300,000 to
400,000 miles or more during their
lifespans, which can last as few as tive
years and as many as 10.
As with any vehicle, there are repairs
made, but this presents some difficulty
because the school district cannot just
take a bus to an ordinary local garage

and have it fixed.
After carefully considering the intricate mechanics of bus engines and their
longevity on the highways of Meigs
County. the board unanimously agreed
to go with Marietta Truck Sales because
it offered the wet sleeve option.
Superintendent William Buckley said
ihat while this bid was marginally more
expensive in the short runlo the district,
in the long run it would save money
when doing in-house repairs.

have run as high as $4 billion.
However, Taft has not said
how big the gap will be.
Taft's proposal also includes
lowering business taxes while
eliminating some exemptions.
Taft first looked at taxing
professional services such as
accounting and legal services
in the spring of 2001 when
putting together the curront
two-year budget.
Potential revenue from the
taxes was estimated in 1997 at
$2.6 billion. The Ohio
Department of Taxation left
such estimates out of its most
recent budget documents but
estimated the tax~s could
bring in hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Lawmakers of both parties
said Thesday that Gov. Bob
. Taft's plan to cover a $720
million deficit for the budget
that ends July I could be in for
a rough ride.if he doesn't consider more cuts before asking
the Legislature to raise taxes.
Taft warned that the next
.round of cuts, should lawmakers balk at raising taxes, will
hit higher education subsidies
- and for the. flfSt time - .
per-pupil spending in primary
and secondary schools.
"That is the severity and the
reali!&gt;: of the budget situation,' Taft said.
House Speaker Larry
Householder ·and Senate
President Doug White, both
Republicans, said their majorittes would consider tax
increases only as a last resort.
"We owe it to the citizens of
Ohio to first look at re-prioritizing the bud~et, making sure
that the dectsions that we
made are in the best interests
of the people of this state and
try to move fvrward,"
Householder said.
Senate Minority Leader
Greg DiDonato and his House
counterpart, Chris Redfern,
said Taft should prove that
agency budgets cannot be cut
any further.

MOUNT GILEAD (AP)
- A former county jail
administrator is to appear in
court next week on a charge
of having sexual contact
with an inmate in 1999, a
prosecutor said Wednesday.
Scott Deckling, 3 I, could
face up to five years in
prison and a $10,000 fine if
convicted of sexual battery,
said Greg Perry, Morrow
County prosecutor.
The Ohio Bureau Jf
Criminal Identification and
Investigation started investigating Deckling two years

ago after receJvmg an
anonymous tip, Perry said.
Deckling, who had held
the job si nce 1997, was
fired last summer, Perry
said. The jail houses male
inmates.
Deckling was charged
Jan . 14 and ordered to
appear for arraignmeot
Tuesday in Morrow County
C " "!lmons Pleas Court.
He could not be reached
to comment. His telephone
number was not listed.
Mount Gilead is 40 miles
north of Columbus.

Bishop to investigate
removing priests
COLUMBUS (AP) The bishop of the Roman
Catholic
Diocese
of
Columbus
decided
Wednesday to investigate
whether
three
priests
accused of sex abuse should
be removed from the clergy,
his spokesman said.
Monsignor Joseph Fete,
the Rev. Michael Ellifritz
and the Rev. Martin
Weithman first will have a
chance to ask to be removed
from the priesthood, said
spokesman Tom Berg .
Bishop James Griffin's
decision was based on recommendations from
a
diocesan board reviewing
sex abuse cases, Berg said.
Under rules adopted by
U.S. bishops last year, abusive priests must be
renioved from dublie ministry and coul be forced

out of the priesthood.
If he determines the
priests cannot be removed,
Griffin could prohibit the
men from ministering and
identifying themselves as
priests, Berg said.
Berg said Fete has admitted sexually abusing a
teenage boy in the late
1970s, while Ellifritz has
acknowledged
improper
contact with a boy about 20
years ago while serving in a
parish.
Weith man has denied
allegations that he molested
a ·teenage boy in the late
1980s.
The Diocese of Columbus
about
234,000
covers
Catholics in 23 counties in
central and south-central
Ohio.

Black mpld to force demolition of school
.

·~

NEW LEBANON (AP) -. .
An elementary school will be
demolished instead of renovated because of toxic black mold
in the roof, district officials
said.
The mold was found in
November by a crew working
on an expansion project at
New Le~anon Elementary
School in this southwestern
Ohio city near Dayton.
No students, teachers or
workers were ever at risk, she
said.

Association expects its customers to be included in Taft's
plan to generate more revenue
to shore up the state budget
that begins July I, Edward
Kozelek, the association's
executive vice president, said
Tuesday. . .
The associatlon opposes the
move, argumg that cable TV
already pa~s a tax in the form
of a franchise fee to local governments, Kozelek said. He
didn't know how much money
taxing cable TV would raise
for the state.
Taft's office would not comment.
On Thursday. Taft will recommend an overhaul of the
state's tax system at a news
conference expected to last
severdl hours.
Taft called for the tax reform
plan in last week's State. of the
State s~h. One of his proposals mcludes expanding the
sales tax to professional services. He's expected to identify several services to be taxed
Thursday.
Ohio real estate agents have
previously said they 're concemed they will be included

"We' re very pleased it was
encapsulated. It was never out
in the air," she said.
When officials began a $4
million project last fall to double the school's size, the 500
students were moved to a middle school or nearby modular
classrooms.
Workers dismantling the
ceiling discovered the mold
growing on plasterboard
attached to the roof.
. Mold occurs naturally and
can grow almost anywhere that

is warm and damp. While the
most common molds generally
are not hazardous, some types
are blamed for headaches,
fatigue and respiratory problems.
Black . mold,
or
Stachybotrys chartarum, can
cause breathing problems.
Black mold has been found
in several Ohio school buildmgs in recent years, including
ones in Cleveland, Sirongsville
and West Carrollton.
The Ohio School Facilities
Commission, which distributes

state funding for school · construction projects, determined
the renovation and mold
removal could cost more than
buUding a new school, said
commission spokesman Rick
Savors said.
A new school will cost about
$8 million. The state will pay
for about 80 percent of . the
cost, leaving the school district
to come up with the rest.

TIME OUT FOR TIPS

Diabetes a common health concern
Diabetes is a serious medical
condition. It is quite a health
concern because it is becoming more C0)11111on. It OCCurs in
6.4 percent of Ohio's population - slightly higher than the
national average. Why does it
affect so many people? What
causes the disease? What can
be done to keep it from progressing?
To understand diabetes, we
have to understand the digestive sy~tem. Digestion causes
glucose, or sugar, to be
released from the carbohydrates we eat in food . When it
is absorbed by the blood, it
becomes known as blood glucose or blood sugar. Gluco• ,
goes into the body cells and .,
transformed into energy. It
a!~ helps the bod~ use amin~
ac1ds and fatty ac1ds found in
food. When there is diabetes,
not enough insulin is produced
by the pancr~a~ or it isn't used
correctly. This prevents carbohydrates, protem and fat from
being used in the normal way.
The glucose then accumulates
in the blood, making the blood
~ugar level rise. Since the
blood sugar is not being used
for energy, it is eliminated
from the body through the kidneys: This puts a strain on the
kidneys and results in frequent
urination and excessive thirst.
There are three types of diabetes. Type I, formerly known
as Juvenile Diabetes, is
insulin-dependent. The pancreas is not able to produce
insulin, so insulin injections
are required.
Type II is non-insulin dependent. Ninety percent of diabetics have this type. It usually
begins in adulthood, but more
and more youth are starting to
get it now because of the e_Pidemic of childhood obestty.
Risk factors in getting the disease include: having a family
history of diabetes; being over
the age of 40; having high
blood ' pressure, high cholesterol or high tri~lycerides;
being obese (especially in the
stomach area); having gestational diabetes during pregnancy; :delivering a baby over
nine pounds; having previous
blood sugar problems; and

coming from an AfricanAmerican, Hispanic .or Native
American ancestry. If people
consistently have ·high blood
sugar levels, their nervous system, eyes, kidneys, heart and
feet can be damaged. Exercise,
diet and weight control can
help manage the disease.
Gestational Diabetes occurs
when there is a glucose intolerance during pregnancy
tx:cause of hormonal changes.
't happens in four percent of
pregnancies. Women who
experience gestational diabetes are 35-60 percent more
likely to get diabetes within
the next 15 years. ·
People who have a blood
sugar level of 110 to 126 are
considered "pre-diabetes." Ten
to 25 percent of them will get
Type II Diabetes within ten
years. It has been discovered
that many people have Type II
Diabetes seven years before
they are diagnosed. ·
Those who have Type II
Diabetes can manage their
condition effectively with
proper education, medication,
monitoring and diet. Constant
monitoring is essential in
keeping the disease under control. Blood sugar should be
checked several times a day, as
advised by a physician.
Diabetics need to know what
their blood sugar, blood cholesterol, HDL and LDL blood
cholesterol, and blood pressure numbers are. They should
not rely on health professionals saymg they are O.K. .That
would be no different than
going into a bank and asking
the banker your checking
account balance and \Jeing
told, "Don't worry. It's O.K."
Eating the proper foods and
amounts can help the diabetic
avoid problems by maintain~

ing normal glucose levels ,
lipid or fat levels and offering
the right amount of calories.
Since nutrients affect glucose,
it is important to plan meals
that give a consistent level of
carbohydrates through portion
control, while increasing fiber
and decreasing fat, sugar and
salt. Diabetics need to eauhree
meals a day at regularly scheduled times. It is imperative that
diabe tics consult with their
physician and a registered
dietician to determine how to
plan their meals based upon
their individual situation and
numbers. Food should be balanced with exercise and medicine. Only a registered dietician can develop a plan suitable for each individual diabetic. For help in finding a registered dietician, call I-800366-1655.
The "Plate Method" may be
one way to ensure proper
nutrition for the diabetic. It is
built on the idea that an 8-inch
dinner plate be divided so that
one-half of the plate is covered
by vegetables (not necessary at
breakfast), one-fourth of the
plate has breads or starches,
and the other fourth has protein foods or meats, cheese,
poultry or fish. One small
piece of fruit and one cup milk
or yogurt or - cup pudding or
.ice cream would round ou• the
meal.
The American Diabetes
Association recommends that
blood sugar levels be 80-120
mg/dl before meals and I 00140 mg/dl at bedtime. If the
levels are below 80 before
meals, or less than I 00 at bedtime, a "quick-acting sugar"
should be eaten immediately
- cup juice _or soft drink or 3
to 4 glucose tablets. Diabetics
should follow doctor's orders
for higher than normal readings. For those people who
take insulin, they may need
snacks between meals and at
bedtime. A serving of a fruit,
milk or bread or starch will be
suitable.

KONDRACKE'S VIEW

Study raises questions
over trqffic stop behavior
• The News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash., on racial profiling:
Solid professional conduct and a nagging question mark are
the two main results of a recent study on whether Washington
State Patrol troopers engaged in the odious practice of racial
profiling.
According to WSP statistics , troopers seize a higher percentage of illegal items from vehicles driven by whites than
•Jrom vehicles driven by blacks and Hispanics.
When it comes to who gets pulled over, the study by a
Seattle newspaper concluded that WSP troopers stopped white
and minoritY driver~ at about the same rates. This conclusion
supports an -earlier finding of colorblind stops by researchers
at Washington State University.
However, what happens beyond the stop - when the race
of the driver and passengers is evident - is legitimate cause
for concern.
Accordin~ to the study, troopers are more likely to ask
minority dnvers for permission to search their vehicles than
they are to ask white drivers. The greatest disparity is in
)'akima County and Southeast Washington, where the chance
of conducting a search with the driver's consent is five times
greater if the driver is a minority.
Possible benign reasons for this difference abound, including the nervous behavior of minority drivers, some of whom
are undocumented Hispanic agricultural workers. Then, too,
some troopers could be engaging in racial profiling.

2003 will be year of crisis for US. foreign policy
While politics and life proceed more or
less as usual in America these days, they
shouldn't. That's because the foreign policy challenges of 2003 are so ~rave, six
months from now we may be hving in a
different world, for better or worse.
How the confrontations with Iraq and
North Korea turn out- and whether terrorism hits the United States again- will
alter America's position in the world.
Not incidentally, the year's events will
also have a decisive impact on domestic
politics. In effect, President Bush is betting his presidency on being able to safely navigate the nation through these multiple storms.
The best outcome in the face-off with
Iraq would be a victory without war- or.
perhaps better yet, a deci'sive victory in a
short war with few casualties.
The scenarios for victory without war
would be: I) Saddam Hussein's capitulation to the United Nations, including an
agreement to reveal and destroy his
weapons of mass destruction in, return for
staymg in power; 2) his agreement to go
into exile; and 3) his assassination.
The r.roblem with the ftrst option is that
it is likely to be a ruse: He wouldn't
destroy everything and would still be in
charge. The other options, too, have
downsides. Saddam likely won't accept
exile for fear he would soon be brought
before the World Court on war crimes
charges, which would be entirely appropriate. And assassination might lead to a
scramble for power among generals and
the potential sale of weapons of mass
destruction to terrorist groups.
The ideal outcome would be one in
which U.S.-Jed forces scored a quick victory, cheering Iraqis greeted them as liberators, and scientists revealed vast secret
weapons caches.
American policy would be completely
vindicated. American leadership in the world
would be solidified. And President Bush's
approval ratings would soar back to the 90s.
Optimistic military commentators like
retired Gens. Barry McCaffrey and
Thomas Mcinerney say that allied forces
can win a war with Iraq within three
weeks thanks to superior technology and
assistance from Iraqi dissidents ..

Century
Aluminum to buy
last plant share
CHARLESTON,
W,Va.
(AP) - Century Alurni.qum
said it plans to buy the remaining 20 percent share of an aluminum plant in Kentucky
from Glencore for $105 million.
Century, which owns a
smelting
operation
in
Ravenswood, already owns
most of the plant in
Hawesville, Ky.
The company, based in
~onterey, Calif., said Tuesday
that it had signed a letter of
intent to buy Glencore' s share
of the plant.
Giencore, a multinational
commodities trader, owns
about 42 percent of Century's
common stock.
The deal must be approved
by Century's board of directors.

Turner says goodbye
as AOL Time Warner
closes year with loss
NEW YORK (AP) Closing the books on a year
that saw an astonishing $99
billion in losses, AOL Time
Warner Inc. revealed that Ted
Turner is stepping down as
vice chairman of the beleaguered media giant.
Turner, the maverick cable
TV mogul who founded
Turner Broadcasting and
CNN before selling out to
lime Warner in 1996, said
Wednesday he will retain his
post until ~ay, but wants to
focus more on his philanthropy after that.
His exit follows the recently announced departure of
chairman Steve Case, the
America Online co-founder
who was one of the key
architects of the $106 billion
merger in 200 I between
AOL and Time Warner.
Whether Turner will
remain on AOL's board will
be determined in the next few
weeks, spokeswoman ~ia
Carbonell said.
Turner was not available
for comment, she said. In a
statement Turner was optimistic "the company will be
able to move forward and
reach its true potential.",
AOL Time Warner executives were eager to look forward after announcing a staggering $45.5 billion charge in
the fourth 9uarter to account
for the media conglomerate's
plunging value. That included a $10 billion charge to
reflect the lower value of
AOL's cable assets.

Analysts had been expecting AOL take such a writedown but were surprised by
its enormity. It meant that in
the three months ending Dec.
31, AOL lost $44.9 billion, or
$10.04 per share, compared
with a loss of $1.8 billion, or
41 cents per share, in the
fourth quarter of 200 I. ·
Revenue rose 8 percent to
$11.4 billion, and AOL said
that without the one-time
accounting markdown it
would have earned 28 cents ·
per share. Analysts surveyed
by Thomson First Call had
been expecting earnings of
28 cents per share and $11.2
billion in revenue.
The announcements were
made after the markets
closed Wednesday. AOL
stock fell $2.05, or nearly 15
percent, to $11.91 in morning
trading Thursday.
Other than federal accounting investigations,
the
biggest question over AOL
Time Warner remains the
performance of the AOL
online
division.
Time
Warner's media propertieswhich include HBO, CNN,
Warner ~usic, lime and
People magazines and blockbuster film fraochises. like
"Harry Potter" and "Lord of
the Rings" - have been the
bright spot.
It took double-digit growth
in AOL's cable, TV networks
and movie divisions in the
fourth quarter to make up for
a 6 percent drop in .revenue
from the online division.

RYAN'S VIEW

CBS is planning a new reality series
called "The Real Beverly Hillbillies." It
would move a poor, rural family into a
Beverly Hills mansion and broadcast their
fascination with garage-door openers and
TiVo. The neighbors no doubt will be
depicted as snooty and thoroughly
appalled - otherwise where's the fun?
In real life, of course, the affluent neighbors would wave enthusiastically from
their driveways and mention their work
with Habitat for Humanity while their
lawyer scours the municipal code for
evictable violations.
Reality television series are wildly popular, and the reason is simple: They bear
no resemblance to real life. We know it's
not real when, in "Joe Millionaire," 20
women gathered under one roof are
duped for weeks by a $ 19, 000-a-year
construction worker masquerading as a
multimillionaire.
In real life, with a real group of single
,women, the guy would be unmasked and
dismissed before the second round of
cocktails.
The reality series I'd like to see is "Joe
$27,000." In this show, California Gov.
Gray Davis masquerades as a teacher in a
founh-grade classroom with 34 children.
Viewers watch as Davi' says goodbye to
his aide, a cas ualty of budget cuts.
(Because the custodian was also laid off.
Davis will have to vac uum his classroom
and empty the trash before he goes home!
It's a hilarious scene !)

under investigation.
Proffitt said the village has a zero tolerance policy with regard to crime.
"Victimizing people will not be tolerated
in Pomeroy:" he said. "We're here to do a
job and we will do it the best our ability.
Crime will not be tolerated. We will ask the

is responsible for settling all
outstanding obligations before
incorporation ends.
Should Cheshire not end its
incorporation status, Rife said
the village will continue to
receive normal
revenue
sources through property taxes
and local government funding.
That money wiU keep the village from falling into disrepair
after residents who sold to AEP
move.
In a conversation with Gallia
County Auditor Larry Betz,
Rife said he was assured "we
would have the operating funds
here."

"The only thing that would
change is the value of the property as it is sold or dismantled
or whatever," Betz said. "But
as for the village itself, it would
receive the same funding as it
would now. Of course, there
would be fewer people
involved."
Under a ftve-year agreement
for the distribution of around
$1 million in local government
assistance funding to Gallia
County political subdivisions.
Cheshire receives $71,000, as
will the county's ft ve other villages.

If Cheshire dissolves, the villages will negotiate for splitting
those funds.
Rife said residents he's
talked to support the idea of
keeping Cht;shire a village.

That means HEAP applications will continue to be
taken until tha ~arch 31
deadline.
"We had almost used up
the $400,000, but with this,
we're good to go," Edwards

said.
Since the application ·
period for HEAP began
Nov. I, HEAP has assisted
2,047 people in Gallia and
~eigs. Edwards said the
total spent as of this week
was $335,649, "so you can
see we were running pretty
close."
The heating assistance
program offers a one-time
payment for a heating
source if eligible lowincome applicants are in
danger of disconnection.
Another
program,
Emergency HEAP, serves
the same purpose.
Bush cited the increasing
price of heating oil as the
primary reason for the additiona! funding. · Ed wards
said the boost in applications this winter is attributable to a number of factors,
including the national economic
downturn
and
increasing unemployment
in the two counties served
by CAA.
"It's an overall trickle
down effect," she added .
Lobbying by the · states
helped push the funding
increase, she said.
"It's a big priority for
them," Edwards added.
The majority of applicants seeking help use oil
or propane for heating during the winter, along with a

"A lot of people wished it
had gone the other way," he

because they thought their
property values would depreciate even more than they had.
"It's a story I hear from a lot
of people," he added. "'I don't
think I've started anything that
people aren't already thinking."
Hammond said Rife and
those residents who are staying

Purdue snubs Ohio State

It also motivated Purdue.

Kenny Lowe added 14 as
Purdue beat Ohio State 7065 Wednesday night for
Keady's 250th career Big

"I was mad. It was ridiculous," Keady said of the officiating. "Just let us play."
The Boilermakers (13-4,
5-1 Big Ten) equaled last
year's total in both overall
wins and Big Ten wins.
They're 11-0 at home for the
first time since the 1983-84
season.
With No. 13 Illinois beating Michigan 67-60 on
Wednesday,
the
Boilermakers, with a 6-1

top of the Big Ten standings.
Michigan is 6-1 and Purdue

"To lose one game in
January, we feel pretty good
about that," Keady said.
"Now we're going into the
month where people make it
or fall by the wayside. It's a
big month in Division I basketball."
The Buckeyes (9-9, 2-5)
appeared to have control
midway through the second
half.

Title IX
may face
changes
WASHINGTON (AP)- A
Bush administration commission prepared to recommend
the most significant changes
to Title IX Ill more than two
decades, with several votes
Thursday aimed at changing
a fundamental plank in the
law that has exponentially
increased participation in
women's sports.
The
15-member
Commission on Opportunity
in Athletics was to consider
several proposals that would
the ease the standards in the
three-prong test used to measure whether high schools
and colleges are complying
with the 31-year-old gender
equity law.
The
commtsswners
"believe the three-prong test
is a flawed but potentially
powerful vehicle," said cochairman Ted Leland, athletic
director at Stanford.
Others would beg to differ,
and the commission's .session
Wednesday evoked the passion typical of Title IX
debates. Expecting to be ovtvoted, those in favor of the
current standards got the
commission to agree to
include dissenting opinions in
the fmal report that will be
submitted next month to
Education Secretary Rod
Paige.
"To not represent both
sides of the passion is a disservice of what we're going
to give to the secretary," said
commissioner Julie Foudy, a
member of the U.S. women's
national soccer team.
Title IX prohibits gender
discrimination in programs
that receive federal funding .
Its effect has been profound:
The number of girls participating in high school sports
rose from 294,000 to 2.8 million from 1971-02. The number of women in college
sports increased fivefold over
a similar timeframe.
In 1979, Title IX was clarified by the introduction of the
three-prong test, with schools
having the option to meet any
of the prongs to comply with
the law.
To meet the first prong, a
school's male-female athlete
ratio must be "substantially
proportionate" to its malefemale enrollment. For the
second prong , the sc hool
must show an ongoing history of broadening opportunities for women. The third
prong requires that a school
show that it is "fully and
effectively" accommodating
the interests and abilities of
women.
The first prong gets the
most attention, and it's the
only one that can be met
using pure statistics with little
or no subjective interpretation. Even so, there is still a
substantial gap between the
percentage of U.S. female
college students (56 rercent)
and the percentage o female
college athletes (42 percent).
The commission was to
consider several changes to
the
first
prong.
Commissioner Debbie Yow.
the athletic director at
Mary land, proposed that
schools be allowed a 50-50
split of male and female athletes, regardless of lhe student body makeup, with a
leeway of 5 to 7 percentage
points.
Other proposal s would tie a
college's male-female athlete

celebrate."
Leitao was right. A floater
from Delonte Holland gave
DePaul a 40-29 lead with
13:13 to play, but the
Bearcats responded with a
12-0 run. Taron Barker and
Williams made 3s, and
Stokes made four straight
free throws.
Jason Maxiell then scored
on a turnaround jumper,
pushing Cincinnati ahead 4140 with 9: 18 to play.
Williams hit a 3-~ointer
from NBA range to gtve the
Bearcats a 47-46 lead, but
Andre Brown made a layup
and Holland scored on a fo1·
low to give DePaul a S0-47
lead with 3:29 to play.
Stokes and Maxiell each
missed the front end of oneand-ones, but Stokes hit a 3pointer with 1:5.9 left to tie it
at SO.
Then Drake Diener came
up big, scorin~ his only bas·
ket, a floater m the lane, to
give DePaul a ~2-SO lead
with ~ I. 9 seconds left.
Hoskin then made his free
lhrows to put the game away.
"I'm very proud of the
guys," Leitao said. "We rose
to the challenge. The way
Cincinnati plays, everybody
has to play and meet thetr
toughness. We didn't wilt
when they made their runs."

Kent, Akron, Miami
win MAC game~
KENT {AP) - Neither
coach anticipated an easy
game when Kent State
played Central Michigan,
and both got what they
expected.
Kent State won 82-78
Wednesday night, enabling
the Golden Flashes to hold
onto their lead in the MidAmerican Conference East
Division and knockin~ the
Chippewas out of first m the
West.
Eric Haut scored 22
points, including two free
throws with nine seconds
left, for Kent State (14·2
overall, 7-1 conference).
With Kent State leading
80-78, Central's Chris
Kaman tried to tie the game
with a jumper but missed.
Haut grabbed the rebound
with 12 seconds to play and
was fouled three seconds
later.
Antonio Gates scored 17
points and DeAndre Haynes
had 13 for Kent State.
Central Michigan (12-5,
5-3), which led 48-44 at
halftime, was led by Mike
Manciel's 22 points and
Kaman's 20 pomts and 10
rebounds.
"As expected, it was
another battle in the MAC,"
said Flashes coach Jim
Christian. "Every night that

Pacers lose Artest, 14-game
home winning streak
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indiana Pacers lost Ron
Artest - and their I4:game
home winning streak.
Tony Parker scored 28
points and five of his San
Antonio teammates reached'
double figures as the Spurs
beat Indiana I 06-97 on
Wednesday night to drop the
Pacers to 21-2 at home.
But the Pacers' biggest loss
came before the game, when
they learned the NBA suspended Artest for four games
for a run-in with Miami coach
Pat Riley and making an
obscene gesture toward the
crowd Monday night.
"I'm very disappointed
with the league's ruling,"
Artest said. "I don't think the
suspension comes close to
going with my actions. I
thought I might get a fine, but
not a game. I don't think four
games is fair at all."
The ruling came just 2 112
hours before the start of the
game.
"We're getting tired of it.
They wait until just about two
hours before the game to dis·
rupt our game. But, we're
going · to bounce back," said
Jermaine O'Neal, who had a
season-high 31 points for
lpdiana. ''They could have
called earlier. It doesn't take
all day to decide on how
many games you're going to
suspend a guy:"

Human relational problems
translate in every language
DEAR ABBY: I was sur·
prised at the letter from the read·
er in Harpers Feny, W.Va., who
feels using your column to teach
English as a second language
might send the wrong message
about the United States.
You were right on the money
when you said that "See Spot
Run" and cartoon-like depictions no longer hold the interest of adult learners. I am a
professor of English in France
and often use your column to
teach adult conversational
English. My students find the
exercise a fun and interesting
way to practice English.
Judging by their responses, the
problems in your column are
m no way unique to the U.S.
-SHARI YOUNGBLOOD,
PARIS, FRANCE
DEAR SHARI: I was heartened by the number of letters I
received from readers who
wanted to defend the column.
Thank you for yours. Read on :
DEAR ABBY: I teach a writing class at a teacher's college.
Your column transcends
national boundaries. I took special delight when you
expressed best wishes to your
Muslim readers at the end of
Ramadan. Your column shows
America to the world, and
because of your sage advice,
the wisdom displayed and your
evident sympathy -indeed,

Dear
Abby
ADVICE
that shown by your readers as
well - you present America at
its best. -JACK DUNSTER,
LUBLIN, POLAND
DEAR JACK: It is a given
that my readers are people
who are interested in, and care
about, one ,another.
DEAR ABBY: I have been
teaching English in · Korea for
several months. Every country in
the world struggles with the same
moral issues that we do. Am I
supposed to give my adult students Mother Goose stories? DEREK DENTON, SEOUL
DEAR DEREK: Certainly
not. To teach successfully, one
must hold the student's interest.
DEAR ABBY: I am an
English teacher. The reader
from Harpers Ferry cites "sibling rivalry, spousal mistrust
and sexual abuse" among
things your column supposedly
promotes. As you pointed out,
discussion and promotion are
two entirely different things. If

we are to stick solely to British
and American "classics" to
teach English, take a closer
look: There's sibling rivalry in
the works of Louisa May
Alcott, Jane Austen and Emily
Bronte, to name a few. Spousal
mistrust is featured in
"Hamlet," Fitzgerald's "The
Great Gatsby," and anything
written by Steinbeck or
Hemingway. And look no further than 'The Scarlet Letter"
if you want to talk about sexual dysfunction and abuse.

DEAR BARBARA: It's

DEAR ABBY: Your column
consistently uses a few wellchosen - often eloquent words to say a great deal on a
vast array of topics, typically
with grace, wit, style, and a
uniquely American use ofirony
to drive home a point. Equally
important, you treat all of your
readers with compassion and
dignity and call upon them to
treat others accordmgly.

Clarence Wolf walks on water to catch his dinner. The local
man. who has been ice fishing for more than 20 years, has no
fear as he cuts holes in the ice all around him. Mere inches
below lies the cold murky water that even the fish are trying to
flee. (J. Miles Lay1on)

POMEROY - Locating good
places to park the "Cemetery of
Innocence" trailer for maximum
exposure is one of several projects
being tackled by the Meigs County
Right to Life to promdte anti-abortion programs .
The · trailer, featuring 40 small
pink and blue crosses, with each
one representing 100 babies lost

cranes came swooping down with steel
talons braced for the kiU.
Victor Wolfe, a 1952 SHS graduate,
stood by watching a piece of his past
being reduced to dust and rubble.
"I'm glad to see it go," he said. "I've
seen many old buildings stand around
and collect pigeons, but I never thought
I would see this building demolished. I
had a lot of memories in that building."
The school has been Wolfe's neighbor
for years.
Superintendent Robert Grueser said
demolishing the historic school buildings that so many students in Southern
Local had attended was a hard decision
for the school board to make, but he
agreed that this was truly the only option
available.
Grueser said the other reasons the
board made the decision wa5 because
empty school buildings present health
and liability concerns for the school dis-·
trict. Also, the buildings had been a target for vandals.

POMEROY - A local
man catches his dinner
while walking on water.
Across an icy field of
water, Clarence Wolf carefully searches until he finds
a spot, the proverbial perfect spot in the middle of
the lake, to drill a hole for
catching fish.
The ice is solid, at least
that is what he tells himself.
Wolf said the ice is six inches thick, and safe .
"It's saf4 out here," be
said. "My Lord, I have been
on ice half this thick."
The Chester man has been
ice fishing for more than 20
years, which qualifies him
as an expert. He said the
secret is knowing when it is
safe to walk on water.
Usually, he waits at least
three days before testing the
ICe .

Satisfied with the ice,
Wolf searches for a spot in
the middle of the lake .
When he finds one, he drills
a hole in seconds. Water
filled with ice cubes comes
welling up and he puts a
line in . Wolf usually drills
about dozen holes before
finding the right spot.
"If the fish get to bitin~ in
one hole , you stay there,' he
said.
Within a few moments of
patiently waiting in icy
winds, Wolf gets a bite. His
line gets tight and he pulls
in a fish.
"The fish aren ' t frozen
when they come up, but the
fisherman usually is." he

said with a smile .
But the going is slow.
Nothing . Wolf changes
spots, drills a couple more
holes and waits . He is still,
patient, quiet and focused
on what lies beneath. Up on
the shore is a large warm
farm house owned by the
Baum family.
The sound of cars passing
by at high speeds on Ohio
Route 7 echoes over the
small valley where the lake
is located. A few minutes
have gone by and nothing
comes up from the depths.
On a good day, t he angler
said he can't catch them fast
enough, but today was looking pretty bleak.
"I've caught three fish in
the last couple of hours, but
that ain't very much ," he
said .
Hi s luck begins to change.
Almost by the time Wolf
puts hi s pole in the water,
there is a fish on it. It is a
BluegilL He takes the hook
out of the fish and throws it
on the ice nearby where it
takes one las t dance.
The fisherman puts his
line back in. His breath is
visible and his movements
ten se. Within a moment ,
there is another fish coming
out the water. Wolf has
found. the spot.
''!' II get a few more
before I leave," he said. "I
love to fish ."
The enemy of snowmen
and icicles is becoming very
visible in the sky. Soon,
Wolf will be back on shores
fishing, but not today.
Today he walks on water.

the building with only marginal success.

RACINE - Two buildings that took
thousands of hours to build were
destroyed within a matter of hours.
The old Southern High School and
kindergarten building have been undergoing demolition for about two weeks,
but the really fun part started Monday.
Several powerful bull dozers were
moved in and as soon as the weather
broke, demolition began. Brick walls
that took many men days to construct
collapsed within minutes. Tall staircases
that carried thousands of children and
teachers to classrooms for more than 70
years are now lying lifeless in rubble
three feet deep.
More than 10 men from Pullins
Excavation Co., a Pomeroy business, are
doing the demolition work which will
cost around $35,150.

highway department and
potential contractors to
postpone that date until
after the holidays, Collins
said.
IJ Some contractors raised
concerns that specific vendor information crucial to
the bid process might not
be available in the initial
time fl-ame set by ODOTU
Collins said last month.
He added that the delay
