President Bush has ' proposed

MEDINA (A P) - Investi gators say a
sudden gush of water across red-hot
metal created intense boiler pressure,
causing the f.1tal steam engine explosion at · the Medina County Fairgrounds.
"Now we want to know what led up
to that ," Medina County sheriff's
Detective John Detchon told The

A team of experts, including metallurgists from · Case Western Reserve
University, th e state's chief boiler

from Lorain County, went over the
pieces of the 191 8 steam -powered farm
tractor Tuesday. .

cause, stea m engine

or faulry gauge ·may have fooled owner
Clifford Kovacic into thinking the
water level was higher.
The blast came as the 48-year-old
Kovacic backed the tractor into place,
with friend Alan Kimble, 46, riding

"It's entirely the operator's responsibiliry and nobody else's," Kennedy said .
Investigators also found tree branche s
in the tractor's tires, corroborating witness accounts that the machine fl ew at

tree.

Medina Sgt. Scott Thomas, one of the
investigators, said detectives are explor-'

Two officers were severely burned as
they approached the tractor because

roads to reach the fair.

One dead in Cincy shooting
CINCINNATI (AP) - One man was killed and another
injured in a shooting Tuesday night near the neighborhood hardest hit by the ~pril riots and a recent upsurge in violence, police
said.
,
Police said the shooting may have resulted from an attempted
catjacking around 9 p.m in· Mount Auburn just northeast of the
Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.
A 21-year-old man was pronounced dead around 10 p.m. at
Universiry Hospital. A nuning supervisor late Tuesday said the
other man's injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

. They all visited Boston on Monday to meet with its mayor,

Several Cincinnati delegation members said Tuesday they hope
to repeat Boston's success in Cincinnati, where shootings have
increased 600 percent since April riots that followed a white
police officer's shooting of.a black, unarmed man who was fleeing police.
The key is for clergy, police and prosecutors to work .together
in encouraging youth to avoid violence, instead of politically
clashing over who is to blame for street unrest, Boston leaders told
the Cincinnati delegation.

CLEVELAND (AP) Some Midwestern steam
engine en thusiasts worry a
fata l explosion could ) ead to
insurance restr iction s on
public
displays
of the
antiques.
Sunday's explosion of a
steam- powered tractor at the
Medina County Fair in .Ohio
killed four and injured abom
50 others with steam burns,
shrapnel and fractures .
Higher msurance premiums or more restrictive policies could make it tougher
for groups to sponsor displays. :a number of enthusiasts
told The Plain Dealer.
"I think this will have very
far-reaching effects on the

hobby across . the United
States," said David Erb, of
Plain City, Ohio, co-author
of a book abom steam-powered tractors.
·
Those who love the
machines phased out in the
1920s, shown throughout the
Midwest on summer weekends, say their expenSive
hobby allows Americans to
s~e part of the nation's agricultural history.
"I'n1 sure the tnsurance
companies are going to make
it cost more;• said Gary Love,
president of the 1,500-member New York Steam Engine
Association.
The group plans to proceed
next week with its annual

show of abou't a dozen
steam-powered
farm
machines, Love said.
Insurance for the four-day
display costs $3,000 to
$4,000, he added. If premiums rise because of the Medina blast, Love said, his group
will consider simply displaymg old gasoline-powered
farm equipment.
Running the engines,
rather than just letting them
sit there, is an imperative part
of the displays, said Nelson
Johnsrud, a member of the
Mid-Lakes Rustic Iron Club
in Wisconsin.
"The shows would lose a
lot of attendance and a IQt of
shows would. probably die

out,"· he said, if restrictions
kept owners from firing up
the engines.
Rita Nowak, assistant vice
president for the Illin ois ~
based Alliance of American·
Insurers, a lobbying group for
about 350 properry and casu ~
alty insuran ce compan1es,
said the explosion will raise
safery concerns fqr compa ~
nies that cover fairs, carnival~
and other events.
The Medina County Agricultural Sociery, which operates the fairgrounds , has a $7 ·
million insurance policy fo~
use of the county- owned
land.

CHICAGO (AP) - One
in five high 1chool girls has
been- physically or sexually .
abused by a dating partner,
significantly increasing their
risk of drug abuse, · suicide
and other harmful behavior, a
study suggests.
The research published in
Wednesday's Journal of the ·
American Medical Association stems from surveys of
4,163 public school students
in Massachusetts, but the
authors say the results likely
apply tci teens nationwide.
According to estimates
· from the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 22 percent of high
school students are victims of
nonsexual dating violence,
with girls slightly more likely
to repor1 being victims.
The results also mirror

rates
·among
adult
women,
although some statistics indicate young women and teens
are especially prone, perhaps
in part because they. general- '
ly have more dating partners.
The study also suggests that
a disturbing number of adolescent boys "have adopted
· attitudes that men are entitled to ,control their girl·
friends through violence,"
said lead author Jay G. Silverman of Harvard Universiry's
School of Public Health.
The study was , based on
results of ·statewide surveys
given to students in grades
nine through 12 in 1997 and
1999. More than 70 percent
of the girls who participated
were white, about 10 percent
were Hispanic and about 6
percent each were black or

Social Security serves Amer~c,ans for 66 years
BY VALREA THOMPSON

Social Security, celebrati ng
its 66th anniversary in
August, paid over $407 billion in Social s·ecurity benefits to American workers · in
2000, up from $358 billion in
1999.
Originally set up as only a
tetirement program, Social
Security now pays benefits to
retirees' spouses, children and
survivors as well as disabled
workers and their dependents. In December 2000,
benefits were paid to:
•
28 .5 million retired
workers-- $24·+ bilhon,

• their 3.3 million dependents- S1.4 billion
• 5 million disabled work.ers - $4 billion,
• their 1.6 million dependents - S.4 billion,
• 7 million survivors $5 .1 billion
Over the past 66 ye ars,
Social Security ha s changed
to fit the needs of the American public. With the population of older Americans doubling between now- and
2030, we, at Social Security,
look forward to the evolution of the program and the
continuation of- p-rovidtng

A

Americans with the quality
of service they have _come to
expect.
Questions and answers
Q. Social Security rules
may be the same for everyone, but situations ~re different for women. Do you have
information especially for
women?
A. Do we everl We recently launch ed a new website
just for women . It's called
"Social · ' Securlry · for
Women," and it recognizes
situations that many experience. A woman may be a

Q·. I usually get my benefit
paylftent orr the . thifi'l of the
month, but this month it falls
on a weekend. Do I have to
wait until the fifth to get my
benefit?

A. Rest assured that your

Q.' There's a lot of talk
about identity theft. What's
being done to stop it?

A. The best way to prevent
identity theft is to prated
your Social Security number
and card. Don't give out your
number when you don't have
to, and don't carry your card
with you unless you know it
is needed. Recently, Social
Security's Inspector General
addressed Congress about
iden~ity theft and the misuse
of Social Security numbers
and suggested further ways to
protect people's privacy.

Fonner Buckeye
Stringer dead
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) Minnesota Vikings right tackle
f&lt;orey Stringer died Wednesday
morning due to complications
from heat stroke.
The ·former Ohio State
standout developed symptoms
of heat stroke including weakness and'rapid breathing following the team's morning practice
Tuesday. ·
He was taken by ambulance
to Immanuel St. Joseph's Hospital after going through morning
conditioning drills and retuming to the team's locker room.
Stringer was unresponsive
when he arrived at Immanuel
St. Joseph's- Mayo Health System in Mankato, and had a temperature of over 108 degrees.
H e developed multi-organ
system failure throughout the
day requiring attention of multiple specialists and staff, a statement from the Vikings said.
Stringer didn't regain consciousness. His heart failed at
1:50 a.m.
The temperature on the
team's second day of training
camp reached the low 90s, but
stifling humidity raised the heat
1~- - index to as high-a.&gt;-110-degrees.
Daunte Culpepper, Cris
Carter and other player; and
coaches visited the hospital after
workouts.
The 6-foot-4, 335-pound
Stringer and defensive tackle
Fred Robbins, also had to sit
out the Vikings' workout on
Monday afternoon because of
heat exhaustion.
Stringer, born May 8, 1974,
struggled earlier in his career to
keep his weight under control,
' •· 'but made the Pro Bowl last year
for the first time. He and 359pound guard David Dixon
helped clear holes on the right
side of the line for running back
Robert Smith, who rushed for
a franchise-best 1,521 yards last
season.
Picked by the Vikings in the
first round of the 1995 draft,
Stringer started every game at
right tackle the past two seasons.
Stringer, a 6-foot-5, 320pounder from Warren Harding
High School, was a first-tean1
All-American selection in the
1994 season for the Buckeyes.
H e quit Ohio State after his
junior year to go pro.

Milton Bradley
CLEVELAND (AP) - Needing an offensive spark for the playoff drive and perhaps a
future center fielder, the Cleveland Indians
acquired Milton Bradley from Montreal for
minor league pitcher Zach Day on Tuesday.
The Indians, who have had theit eye on
Bradley as a possible replacement for Kenny
Lofton for months, completed the deal about
two hours before the 4 p.m. EDT trading deadline.
· "In Milton Bradley we are getting a top-ofthe-order, middle of the diamond player we feel
will have a major impact at the major league
level in the near future," Indians general manager John Hart said. "He's a multi-tooled player
who can run the ball down in center field:'
The arrival of the 23-year-old Brndley
appears to indicate that Lofton's days with the
Indians are numbered.
Or Cleveland could just be trying to motivate
Lofton, who has had a sub-par season.
" I think Kenny might be able to see it like
that,'' Indians manager Charlie Manuel said
before his club opened a seven-game homesrand. "The biggest thing for Kenny to do,

inning, things began to fall apart for
Mason County.
Four errors set up ~he home squad,
whil e four wild pitches scored four

,This deal, from the
I &lt;)(l&lt;J pro-am event in
New York City, was
ruefully reported to
me by the pro sitting
East.
Raisi ng with a doubleton top honor in
this position is a good
tactical move. First, .it
will probably persuade partner to make
the best opening lead.
Also, both opponents
will tend to overvalue
their fit, each thinking
partner is shorter in
spades than he actually is.
There was a case for
West's starti ng with a
low spade, but understandably she selected
. the ace. Reading the
postt10n correctly,
East unblocked the
king! Now they were
in a position for a
co up: spade qu een,
spade ru ff. and si t
back to await the
probable club queen.
There was just one
snag: Despite her and
dummy's holdings in
the suit, West thought
the spade king was a
suit-preference signal
for diamonds! She
switched smartly to
the eight of that suit.
Things got even
worse for the defenders. South -- a pro -won· with dummy's
queen, drew three
rounds ·· df trtlli'tp s
ending in hand , and
played a d ub to the
king. Only then did
declarer notice that he
had only one hand
entry remaining (a
diamond ruff). He
couldn 't return to
hand , take a winning

amends

more about nature's way of feeding babies.

information and thing; for their babies, and received
door prizes donated by local merchants.
Newberry, brcastfeeding councilor for Meig; County H ealth Deparm1 ent's Women, Infants and Children

event, it also offered an opportunity. for her to reinforce
the values ofbreastfeeding. Currencly, she said, 30 percent of infants enrolled in WIC here are breastfed.
"We enco urage moms to breastfeed for at least six
months because of d1e advantages it gives babies and

·Commissioners approve
1. 6-mill issue for November
POMEROY - Meigs Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities will make a seventh attempt to pass a taX levy in November.
During th eir regt.dar meeting on Wednesday, county
commissioners authorized cl1e MR / DD boan:l to place
a 1.6-mill continuing levy on the November ballot.
MR/ DD Director Steve Beha, Carleton School's
Kay Davis, and MR/ DD board member Sally Donaldson met with the board to discuss the levy proposal.
"The futt is that mental retardation and developmental disabilities fornmately does not affect all of the
families in M eigs County, but our services are appreciated and needed by those who use them ;' Beha said.
Beha said that a continuing levy, although rejected by
voters at least five times in the past, "best meets our
needs at this time."
The levy was last rejected in November 2000.
If passed this time, the levy would generate approximately $380,000 for MR/ DD services and fOr a capital improvement project at the board's Syracuse facility.
The two- phase project would involve construction

COLUMBUS (AP) Natural-gas
custome rs
who sw itch ed suppliers
after last winter's highcost h ea tin g will see lower
bills in th e coming winter,
but cu stomers who stayed
with their original utilities
could save eve n more, regulatory and industry officials said Wednesday. .
The price swings show
th e new gas marketplace
at work, th ey said.
Mo re abundant natural
gas supplies and new
drilling for gas, spurred by
last winter's prices, have
-combined to - ma-ke-ch·e
ou tlo o k good for customers
this
winter,
Columbia Gas of Ohio
spokesman Steve Jablonski
said.
Columbia on Wednesday dropped the price of
the gas it delivers to
home s and busin esses
from 87 cents per hundred cubic fe et to 60
cents. T h e pri ce will be in
effect until November,
when Ohio regulations
permit
Columbia
to
adjust the price again .
That cost makes up about
two-thirds of customers'
gas bills.
• Last winter's high pri ces
were
fueled by th e
demand from industrial
c ustom e rs and supplies
reserved for electricitygenerating power plants,
Jablonski said. The high
prices, in turn, led to n ew
drillin g for natural gas, h e
said.
