And Erich and Chris and Mau and · Tyler and Josh and John. More than 60 Fairfax County, Va., high school students erected the walls of the house. which has served as their classroom for the past two years. Then they built staircases, measured molding, laid down hardwood floors and installed windows. Three dens, five fireplaces and seven bathrooms later, they say the lessons they've learned are priceless. The· house is not. Starting this week, it can be bought for more than a cool million: $1,325,<XXl, to be exact. The sprawling five-bedroom house - 6,500 square feet, counting the finished basement - on a cul,de-sac in McLean is the 16th built by students from seven schools through the county's professional technical studies department. Like Fairfax, other Washington area scho_ol systems offer such hands-on learning opportunities. In Montgomery County. Md., students at the Thomas Edison High School of Technology have built an entire block of 2,000-squarefoot houses in Aspen Hill as part of the school's career education program. On Saturday, a three-bedroom modular house built bY. students in Prince Wtlliam County, Va .. will be open for public inspection, eventually to be auctioned. But this is the first time, as far as anyone can remember, that students may find their class work paying off in such a big way. Fairfax school oflicials say the house also exemplifies the new direction of vocational education. "'When you used to say vocational, it meant the kids who weren't successful," said Jeff McFarland, coordinator for trade and industrial education. "Now. from being a dumping ground, most of the kids are college-bound. Tl1ey 're thinkers."

Thirty-nine percent of the cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2001 were of people who contracted the serious disease from gardening and yard work. "We often think you only get tetanus if you step on a .rusty nail," said Dot Richardson, an orthopedic surgeon in Clermont, Fla. A deep wound is more likely to lead to tetanus, but any injury that breaks the skin can allow the pathogen to enter the body. The disease is caused by a bacterium that is commonly found in dirt or on plants. Once the skin is compromised, ~ven by an insect bite, the pathogen can be rub~d into it later by an unsuspectmg gardener, said Richardson. · Once inside the body, she said, the bacterium's spores release a toxin thai causes the muscles to seize violently. A victim typically spends four to six weeks in intensive care; 10 percent to 20 percent of them die. · The danger is that while people with serious wounds go immediately to a hospital for treatment. including tetanus vaccine, those who receive milder cuts and splinters in the $arden do not, she said. The key ts to keep up immunization. Health authorities recommend a booster shot every 10 years - advice ignored by 53 percent of the adult population, according to CDC estimates. People involved in other pursuits are also at risk, mcluding home improvemem and sporting hobbies, according to Richardson, who is a two-time Olympic goldmedal winner m softball.

' Old.proficiency tests available via the net ;DAYTON (AP) - Many Ohio parents don't know that students worried about state proficiency tests can prepare l:ly downloading free copies of old tests from the Internet. ;The :Ohio Department of Education posts questions and answers from year-old · fburth, sixth, and ninth-grade proficiency tests on its Web site, www.ode.state.oh.us. · "I don't think enough people know it's out there," said Dayton teacher Elaine Reid, who tutors students in a summer program meant to prepare students for the fourth~ade proficiency test. . Though state law says the tests must be made public, the Oepartment of Education does so quietly, .said Jan Crandell, director of the department's office cf assessment, which oversees testing. That's because questions on the old tests might be reused, she said. The state has made only limited efforts to write new questions for the exams. "I didn't know anything about it until a teacher told me," said Frank Patterson, whose daughter receives tutoring at Reid's sohool, Hickorydale Elementary. Cathy Parson, who has two children in the same program, said the sample tests "will give me a general idea what to prepare them for." Some proficiency tests are expected to be replaced by exams called achievement tests in coming years. Some fourth-graders will take the new tests in the coming school year, w,hile the ninthgrade proficiency test will be partially phased out in the 2005-2006 school year. The state also will release copies of the new achievement tests each July, but questions no longer will be repeated, Crandell said. COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio State University trustees have approved a tuition increase for the second time in three months. Returning students will pay 15.4 percent more than· they did last fall, despite a new state cap designed to limit annual tuition increases at the . university to 12.9 percent. The university is not violating the law. It is following state rules on calculating tuition, and part of its increase was approved before the tuition cap took effect July I. A 9 percent increase voted by trustees in May, combined with the second increase of 3.9 percent approved on Friday, will bring the total increase to 12.9 percent when compared wuh the 2002-03 school year. However, most students on a traditional fall-throughspring schedule will see a bigger increase than that because they never saw the effect of the earlier increase. The summer quarter is considered to be part of the 2002-2003 school year. For the 2003-04 school year, sophomores will pay $6,540 in tuition and juniors and seniors will pay $5,991. The respective figures for those groups for 2002-03 were $5,664 and $5,190. Entering freshmen will pay $6,624. Annual tuition at regional campuses will go up 9.9 percent - about $456. "OS U is still a bargain compared to other schools across the country," said Zuheir Sofia, chairman of the university board of trustees. But senior Kasey Kraft of suburban Pickerington said the increase would mean she will have to look for a second job and take ·out more loans. "How high is it going to go?'' she asked. "It's going to tum people awai from this university." . OSU officials said the second increase was necessary because of lower-than· expected state funding. Ohio State's tuition is the seventh-highest of the 13 public universities in Ohio. The university has 44,000 students. The university's provost, Edward Ray, acknowledged the tuition increases might discourage students.from attending. But he noted that the last 3.9 percent will be spent on scholarships and technology, as required by state Jaw.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Residents of Hicksville aren't too happy that Jerry Springer is ·using the northwest Ohio village as a symbol for his U.S. Senate campaign. "I've always thought it would be good to put Hicksville on the map. but. not this way," Mayor Janis Meyer told The Columbus Dispatch for a story on Sunday. Springer, 59, is raising money for his campaign by charging $100 for autographed photos of himself pointing to a Hicksville corporation-limit sign. · The photo is shown on his Web site, www.runjerryrun.com. Springer, a Democrat, is not expected to formally announce whether he will run for the Senate seat held by Republican George Voinovich until later this month. The photos are superimposed with words that'commentator Jonah Goldberg uttered on a CNN politics program this year: "If Jerry Springer shows up, he'll bring all these new people . to the polls. They will be slack-jawed yokels, hicks, weirdos, pervs and whatnot." Goldberg was referring to the perceived audience for the former Cincinnati mayor's televised talk show, which features guests who flaunt sex secrets and antisocial behavior. The photo was snapped after Springer was in the town about 70 miles southwest of Toledo May 5 to · speak at a fund-raising dinner for the Defiance County Democratic Party.

A tlatboat is moving down the Ohio with New Orleans as its destination. It will be. stopping at the Pomeroy levee on Sept. 17 and then will continue down the Ohio to Cincinnati for the Tall Stacks in October. As the boat moves along the 2,200 miles, the captain will stay the same but the crew will change. Residents can sign on for one, two or more weeks and go on board during the stops · along the way. ·· The captain and crew will dress in pioneer clothing (you have to provide your own) and will be re-enacting the primitive htestyle of 200 years ago. What that means is they will cook and sleep on the tlatboat and take care of the chickens and pigs on board. ~?uring their. many stops in cities and villages along the OhiO and Mississippi , school children will be invited aboard to get a look at life in another century and listen to living history stories told by the captain. Arrangements for all this IS handled by the captain who can he reached at 5 13-608-5224.

Page4 Monday, July 14, 2003 A pai~l malpractice debate The Daily"Sentinel 111 Court Street • Pomerc>y, Ohio • .o n1on •• The American Medical Association (AMA) propaganda for medical malpractice reform is almost enough to turn you .against it. Senate Democrats killed a reform bill on Wednesday, giving Republicans an issue in next year's election. The core of the bill was a $250,000 limit on 'how much injured patients can colfect for pain and suffering. The AMA describes this as "enabling patients to receive up to $250,000" for pain and suffering. According to the AMA, the leading purpose of the bill was "'ensuring patients receive I00 percent compensation for their economic losses." This is a nonproblem of particular lack of concern to the AMA, whose entire interest in this issue is reducing malpractice payments. The AMA refers to the bill as the Patients First Act of 2003, an Orwellian conceft that could equally well be used by the other side of the debate: the trial lawyers. The malpractice debate is a war of anecdotes. Both sides want you to feel that life could go awry at any moment. Reading the contradictory literature simultaneously leaves you with a why-get-out-ofbed feeling that if it's not one thing, it's another. If you're hit by a car on a country road and rushed to the hospital with a head injury, you will probably die, because the high cost of malpractice insurance has dri- €:1'1A @1003 fOil!' ven every bntin surgeon in the region to retire to the golf course. And if there happens to be a doctor who is still in business, he will probably be so incompetent that he absentmindedly implants a golf ball in your left frontal lobe. We are all imperiled, but especially at risk are cute little girls. who, judging from the anecdotes. are victims of both medical malpractice and medical malpractice insurance way out of proportion to their share of the population. One subject you don't see many anecdotes about is "frivolous lawsuits," although this is a major theme of malpractice reform crusaders. There's a reason: Even unworthy lawsuits usually don't look frivolous up close. A quadriplegic who wins $20 million in what critics call the "lawsuit lottery" is still a quadriplegic. He is still a quadriplegic even if others in the same situation get little or nothing. He is still a quadriplegic even if the doctor he sued did nothing in panicular wrong. If you had the choice, would you agree to become a quadriplegic for $20 million? Suffer severe pain in your right leg for the rest 'of your life for $350,000? Very few winners of what the critics call the lawsuit lottery actually win enough to make it a deal they would take voluntarily. So • the direct effect of restricting the size of malpractice judgments would be to increase injustice, not to reduce it. Nevertheless, limits on malpractice lawsuits are a good idea that Democrats are wrQng, and possibly foolish, to oppose. The current arrangement delivers justice at random, in widely varying amounts or not at all, depending on whether you're feeling litigious, how good your lawyer is or what a judge or a juror had for breakfast that day. It is less a matter of injustic.e than of more justice than we can afford. What's wrong with a $250,000 cap on payments for pain and suffering? Why should one person get $5 million, another $500,000 and yet another nothing at all for essentially the same injury? The fact that $250,000 can't begin to compensate for the pain and suffering a patient may have endured can demonstrate that $250,000 isn't enough money, or it can demonstrate that money's ability to compensate for nonmonetary losses is inherently limited. One of the major Democratic presidential contenders, Sen. John Edwards, made a fortune as a trial lawyer. In a profile of Edwards last year, Nicholas Lemann of the New Yorker suggested that economic-justice-by-lawsuit might be a replacement for the economic-justice-by-legislation that the Democrats no longer have the power or inclination to fight for. Lemann also pointed out the tlaw in this kind of Justice: It is transactional. based on particular episodes, rather than on fate in general. If you've been screwed out of $1.000 by a credit-card company or screwed out of the use of your elbow by an incompetent doctor, litigation can help you. If you've been screwed by life itself, there is no one to sue. Edwards was perceived as the Democratic front-runner a few months ago, but his campaign seems to be going nowhere. And the Republicans forced a vote on malpractice reform this week, even though they knew they'd lose, because they wanted to force every Democratic senator to take a stand. (All the Democrats opposed the reform.) So it looks as if justice-by-litigation, like justiceby-legislation, has become a the better issue for Republicans than the Democrats. ·In both areas, Republicans seem to have found the sweet spot between "no" and "yes/' where uyes and no" can seem like a philosophical advance mther than a contradiction in terms. It is a society with an odd sense of justice that awards millions of dollars to every 25th victim of what may or may not have been a botched operation but doesn't guarantee basic health care to anyone. But it is a political party with an odd sense of justice that makes a big issue of the former and basically ignores the latter. Republicans are right about malpractice reform. They may not realize quite how right they are. W~~'!fliHI:OI.£~1ZAM------ . +\UI.M~ · We' ve always loved "Buckeye Hills and Bramblewood" penned some years back by compo,er Roger Gilmore of Pomeroy.

(AP) Investigators will continue scouring the Midwest for two missing New Hampshire chi!dren after failing to locate their bodies during a day long search of the Toledo, Ohio, area. FBI agents and Ohio state troopers spent seven hours Sunday looking for Sarah and Philip Gehring in open areas and parks along major highways and thoroughfares, said Special Agent Roben Hawk, in Cleveland. The FBI had received information about the children's possible whereabouts in or near Toledo, in nonhwest Ohio on Lake Erie. Hawk said the search, called off in the late afternoon, would resume if warranted, but "we've looked every place that we think logically these children could or might be." Other areas in the Midwest will now· be ~earched, said Jeff Strelzin, a New Hampshire assistant attorney general. He would not give specific locations. The search for Sarah, 14, and Philip, II. has been along the route their father traveled between Concord and Gilroy, Calif.,.last week, authorities said. The children were last seen July 4 at a fireworks display in Concord with their father, Manuel Gehring . Gehring was arrested Thursday at a hotel in Gilroy, and authorities announced Saturday they were investigating the case as a double homicide . Officiais gave few details about why they believe the children are dead except to say that ·evidence found . Friday night and early Saturdar led them to that conclusion. Strelzin would not discuss the evidence or say whether Gehring was cooperating with police. Gehring apparently traveled through Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska on Interstate 80. Authorities in Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois said Sunday they had not been asked to search for the children. According to court documents in Concord, the children were in tears when they and their father left the fireworks display. The documents also say Gehring objected to a new custody arrangement between him and his ex-wife that had been reached a week earlier. The children's mother Teresa Knight. who is four months pregnant with twins. has not spoken to reponers. Her husband, James Knight, the children's stepfather, told the Concord Monitor they were struggling to cope with the news. He said they last saw the children on July 2 when they dropped Philip off at his father's home. "There were no problems as we saw them," he said. Sarah was living with her father while she attended high school in Concord, and Philip lived with his mother while attending school in Hillsboro. According to credit card charge s, authorities said, Gehring apparently traveled on Interstates 84 and 80. stopping July .5 at Newburgh, N.Y., and Emlenton, Pa.; July 6 at Joliet, Ill., and Iowa City, Iowa; July 7 at Greenwood, Neb.; July 8 at Winnemucca and Sparks, Nev.; July 9 at Rocklin, North Highlands and San Francisco, Calif.; and July I0 in Gilroy. Gehring was jailed Sunday in Santa Oam County, Calif., and was scheduled to appear in San Jose on Tuesday on charges of being a fugitive fium justice in New Hampshire. He was "charged in New Hampshire last week with interference with child custody.

I overheard a disturbing phone conversation . My son was saying, "Mike, don't do this! In five or six years none of this stuff will mean anything to you. It will just be a memory' " Later, John came to me and said, ~· Mom, you have to help Mike. He's talking about committing suicide, and nothing I say seems to help. Last night, he put a rope around his neck to see how it feels." Although my son had been "sworn to secrecy," he realized someone had to alert Mike's parents. I did -- and soon Mike was in counseling and on anti-depressants. Mih is now a happy ·teenager with a bright future, and he and my son have an even stronger friendship. I'm proud of my son for trusting me enough to confide in me so I could intervene. Troubled young people tell their friends because they ARE reaching out for help.

BY CHARLENE News editor HOEFLICH RUTLAND - Work to repair a major hillside slip behind the new Meigs Elementary School got underway Monday, just weeks before school is scheduled to open. Superintendent William Buckley said that Midstate, Inc. of Gallipolis was awarded the job by the Meigs Local Board of &lucation last week with a base bid of $598,268.29. The money to pay for the corrective work will come out of the conshllction funds from the School Facilities Commission, according to Buckley. He said the area had been mined at one time. making it somewhat unstable, and that the movement of dirt required to build the school and heavy rains over the past two years, caused the hillside to weaken and began to shift. A wide area of the hillside behind the building from the Middleport end of the school to where the bus garage is Tons and tons of dirt falling the rear of the new Meigs Elementary School were being hauled away Monday as work began on repairing a major hillside slip in an area which had been mined years ago.
