''H e can still (challenge) players and be intense. I }ust take it to mean he can 't do any choke holds or body slams," said Northwostern Coach Kevin O'Nei ll , who beheves Knight will learn from this experience, but isn't li kely to change his coachmg sryle. BL1t experts in anger management are dubiou s about Knights abili ty to refo rm his volatile personaliry at age 59. " I think what I'm seei ng in his behavior is that he feels ge nuinely remorseful for his behavior, . bu r the test will be how well he can manage his anger in the future ," said Dennis Marikis, an anger management consultant in Ohio. "The real test will be six lnonths from now when he's got his team behind closed doors. I think that's when thing.; change." Indiana psychology professor David Pisoni remains skepticaL . "It's very difficult for people to change their behaviors for many years," Pisoni said. Indianapolis sports psychologist Greg Hale would have liked to have seen Knight take more responsibility for his behavior. · "He didn't acknowledge some of the wrong.;. He just said, 'I'll do .better.' In just the same way he'd expect his players to accept responsibiliry for an erram pass or not blocking out, I'd expect him to take responsibility." Trustee Stephen Backer said that "ineffective action taken in the past regarding Knight's behavior" over his 29-year career ad<;led to the problem. "I think that the coach has to definitely learn ho\v to cpntrol his anger, and he may need co seek outside help to do that," Backer said. " I think all of us hope coach Knight can change his behavior and live within the guidelines that we have se t for him." Some fans doubt he can. " You can write rhis down : Bobby Knight will not be there in two years," said Dwight Pinner, 40. a lab -technician for Eli lilly .and Co. " He's not going to change. It's ,not in him. There is no justifica;ion fo r his behavior," sa id Sophia Massey, 33, a nurse. nesota Twins on Monday night. The Mariners jumped to a 9-0 lead after three inning.;, and the 14 runs were the most they've scored at Safeco Field, the $517.6 million stadium they moved into last July 15 "When you do get early leads, it makes tt nice," said Sele (3-2), The investigation, which Brand claimed was exhaustive and thorough, concluded that Knight didn't choke former player Neil Reed but did grab him by the throat in ·an inappropriate manner. It found that there was not enough evidence, only the te stimony of two or three witnesses, to support the allegation about the soiled toilet paper. Martinez is not so young anymore. But the Mariners' 37-yearold designated hitter is off to a sizzling start, leading the team with 41 RB!s while hitting .351 with 10 homers. · "Sometimes when you get alit~ de older, you wonder if you can still do it," Martinez said. "This makes you feel like you can play for a few more years." Alex Rodriguez also homered for the Mariners, who returned from a 2- 5 road trip that knocked them out of first place in the AL West. Red Sox 8, Blue jays 1 Pete Schourek allowed four hits m eight ittning.; and kept Toronto from homering at SkyDome for signed in the offseason as a free agent. "I felt good enough to fin ish it, and my pitch count was low, but we had some guys in the bullpen who needed some work ." It was Minnesota's worst loss of the season. The Twins losr 13-4 co Boston on April 11. "It was a bad day for us," Twins manager Tom Kelly said. "We haven't go t knocked around all year. Maybe we were due for our knock~rownd ti1ne." ' M artinez hit a two- run homer in the third inning to give Seattle a 7-0 lead and added a three-run shot in the fifth. ''I'm not surprised at anything Edgar does," manager lou PinielIJ said. " He's a strong young man ." Yet therr was en ough m tht" for our lives again. But history tells ~''" we 're going to come out aggressive. For some reason, were ~ better tea!n when we're up 3-2 than when it's 3- 1." . Bird, who will step down as coach at the end of the playoffs win or lose - would not blame the loss on Miller's absence "Reggie helped us with the first wins, but we had some break4owns tonight. We came out and lost our confidence," Bird said. "It's easy to lay the blame on someone, but it was all of us.'' No team has, ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a bestef-seven NBA series. , "The pressure is kind of on those guys," said Allen Iverson, who had 31 points for Philadel~hia.

In addition to the suspension and fine, Knight must issue an apology to the athletic department secretary he berated and threatened in two incidents. Knight was not asked to apologtze to Reed. "Any failure on Coach Knight's part to mee t these standards will be cause for further sanctions, up to and including termination," Brand said. · The investigation followed accusations by Reed, who said Knight choked him during a practice that was caught on videotape. During the inquiry, other accusations of verbal and physical abuse emerged. Reed, appearing on CNN's " Larry King Live" on Monday night, called the universiry's handling of his situation "shady." "I was basically discarded and almost run out of town" after reporting the choking incident, he said. · "They did conduct an investigation, but it was an oral investigation and · there was no written record Of it," Reed said.

That announcement ca me Tuesday from CEO Bob Bowers, . who said that closing the ER a month earlier than had been planned is necessary because . of inadequate staffing. Before the March pril)lary, when voters were asked to pass a 4-rnill levy to support the two departments - which had a projected loss this year of $800,000 - Bowers had said that the acute care unit and the emergency room woUld close no later than July 1 if voters chose not to financially support the operation. · The levy failed and when nurses began to leave the hospital for other jobs, inadequate staffing made it necessary to dose the a.eute care unit on April 22 . The same has happened in the ER. · "The decision to dose tile emergency room has been made reluctandy, but cannot provide quality nursing care after that date due to resignations of nursing staff," Bowers said Tues- we day. He said various avenues have been explored in the hope of corning up with some solutions. He noted .that the hospital, through th e Ohio Department of Health, did initial studies for Critical Access as a potential "savior" of the emergenc,y room and acute care. ' However, he said that with "current legislation for Critical Access wh ere it is in the. State of Ohio, even if M edicare and Medicaid were to be involved, the · losses which the hospital would incur for the emergency room would still be in excess of $400,000 a year for the total organization." Bowers noted that as of June 1, the services that will remain at VMH are long-term care, , behavioral health unit, the rural health clinic and the hom e health deparrmenf. He said that an analysis of those services indicate that there will be a positive bottom line, "not significant, but enough so that services can be continued ." Asked about how mariy people will be affected by the layoffs/terrnin1tions, Bowers said th~t by th e end of September, "there is a potential that 41 will be affected." ' "We will retainapproximate- . ly 85 full time equivalents after the initial layoffs / termination of employees;' the CEO said. However, Bowers explained, .those who are laid off' will · be considerably less than . that PleaH 1H ER. Pap AJ State lawmakers will propose tax-cut package •' COlUMBUS (AP) - Ohioans would pay fewer property and estate taxes under proposed legislation--set to be. introduced. Currently, the state pays 12 112 pen::ent personal property taxes. Under the proposed legislation, the state's share would increase to 16 percent, said Sen. Bruce Johnson, a Westerville Republican. The proposal, that was to be introduced Wednesday, would allo eliminate ,the state's share of the estate tax up to the federal exemption.' It also would allow local ~vern­ ments to collect their share of the taX on - money left when people die. The federal exemption covers estates valued at $615,000 or less. 'fhe proposed legislation would also exempt estates valued at about $50,000 or under from filing returns. The current exemption is $25,000. The source of the money would be the state's lncon'te Tax Reduction Fund. This of ••• fund annually returns excess revenue to Ohioans through a temporary rax cut. Johnson ·said the property rax reduction addresses issues raised by the Ohio 'Supreme Court in last week's school-funding decision. The 4-3 ruling declared Ohio's system for paying for public education pnconstitutional. It said the state has made progress on fixing the system but an overreliance on lo£al propetty caxes remains. The proposed tax-cut legislation is "a first step toward cesponding to the court's concerns, and it returns money that's going back to taxpayers .that the state doesn't need;' Johnson said. · As part of tax-cut negotiations Tuesday, the Senate Fina'rlce Conunittee recommended passage of th e state's St.S billion construction budget without a rax-cut proposal approved by the House lase.week. · That proposal would have guar:inteed an income tax cut of at least 5 percent if the tax The Finance Committee unanimously reduction fund took in $380 million above recommended the construction budget after turning away several amendn1ents offeRd by estimated revenue projections.

House defeats bill to change budget process WASHINGTON (AP) House lawmakers agree that the current budget process is in disarray, but have stepped back from a bill to bring about fundamental changes in the way they decide how the nation's money will be spent. The House on Tuesday defeated, 250- I 66, a far-ranging measure that would have made the president a participant in the process earlier to avoid year-end showdowns, put·the budget on a two-year cycle and effectively ended the possibility of government shutdowns. · Opponents argued that the bill would shift too much power to the executive branch, that the two- year budget undermined the ability of Congress to react to economic changes and that the real problem was not in the process but the people. The proposals, said Rep. David Price, D- N.C., were fixes "for .w hat is mainly a failure of · political will and responsibility." The last major revamping of the budget process was in 1-974. Pressure for reform has grown as Congress repeatedly failed to finish its t 3 spending bills on time, leading tq all-night, closed-door negotiations with the White House to detenriine billions of dollars in spending and, on several occasions, government shutdowns. The main element of the legislation would have changed the nature of the budget resolution Congress drawt up every year as an oudine for later spending bilb. It would have gained the ttatllre of a Jaw that mutt be signed by the president, forcing earlier negotiations with the president and ideally . avoiding the standoffs that occur when the Oct. I start of the tisc:U year arrives with the White House .and Congress still fighting over budget levels. The biennial budget, offered as an amendment, was defeated 217-201 . Supporters argued that . finishing the budget and passing the spending bills in the first year of a two-year sessipn would allow lawmakers to spend the second year . overseeing programs to make sure they work. "It makes the budget process more rational, it improves accountability and it strengthens enforcement;' said Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier, R-Calif. , noting that President Clinton and his Republican predecessors have supported the idea. · But critics said they would be turned into fiscal lame ducks the second year. Rep. Nick Smith,, R-Mlch., said a two-year I budget would be inadequate in situations such as has occurred in the past two years, when Congressional Budget Office estimates changed from projections of a $70 billion federal deficit in 'fiscal 2000 to current estimates of a S200 billion surplus. Fear of ceding congressional power was also involved in a 236-17 3 vote to defeat an amendment . by Rep. George Gekas, R-Pa., to automatically keep federal programs running even when Congress and the White House fail to conclude spending bills by· Oct. 1. The bill is H .R . 853.

WASHINGTON (AP) - For the first time . in almost a year, consumer prices held steady as costs feU for gasoline, airfares and clothing, helping to offset higher prices for tobacco products, prescription drugs and cars. The flat reading in April for the Consumer Price Index, the most closely watched inflation gauge, followed two straight months of sharp price increases, mostJy reflecting surging energy costs, the Labor Department said T4esday, The last time consumer prices showed n~ change was last June. Ovtside the volatile energy and food categories, the "core" rate of inflation rose a modest 0.2 percent in April, foUowing a strong 0.4 percent increase the month before. April's performance - both the main CPI figure and the core rate - matched many analysts' expecutions. On Wall Street., stocks rose after the report's release and held onto those early gains after the . Federal Reserve announced its sixth interest rate increase since last June. The Dow Jones in'dustrial average ended up 126.79 points to close at 10,934.57, according to preliminary calculations. The Nasdaq gained 109.88 points to finish at 3,717.53. But some economists believe the good news on inflation may be fleeting. · "May's CPI will come in a good deal less user-friendly;• predicted First Union 's chief economist, David Orr. One of the main reasons: a rebound in energy costs, Orr and other economists said. To slow the supercharged economy and keep inflation at bay, the Fed raised a key'interest rate Tuesday by an aggressive half point to ().50 percent. The Fed's interest rate increases are designed to make borrowing more expensive, thus cooling demand for big-ticket items such as cars and homes, something that would help keep inflation in check.

House defeats bill to change budget process WASHINGTON (AP) House lawmakers agree that the current budget process is in disarray, but have stepped back from a bill to bring about fundamental changes in the way they decide how the nation's money will be spent. The House on Tuesday defeated, 250- I 66, a far-ranging measure that would have made the president a participant in the process earlier to avoid year-end showdowns, put·the budget on a two-year cycle and effectively ended the possibility of government shutdowns. · Opponents argued that the bill would shift too much power to the executive branch, that the two- year budget undermined the ability of Congress to react to economic changes and that the real problem was not in the process but the people. The proposals, said Rep. David Price, D- N.C., were fixes "for .w hat is mainly a failure of · political will and responsibility." The last major revamping of the budget process was in 1-974. Pressure for reform has grown as Congress repeatedly failed to finish its t 3 spending bills on time, leading tq all-night, closed-door negotiations with the White House to detenriine billions of dollars in spending and, on several occasions, government shutdowns. The main element of the legislation would have changed the nature of the budget resolution Congress drawt up every year as an oudine for later spending bilb. It would have gained the ttatllre of a Jaw that mutt be signed by the president, forcing earlier negotiations with the president and ideally . avoiding the standoffs that occur when the Oct. I start of the tisc:U year arrives with the White House .and Congress still fighting over budget levels. The biennial budget, offered as an amendment, was defeated 217-201 . Supporters argued that . finishing the budget and passing the spending bills in the first year of a two-year sessipn would allow lawmakers to spend the second year . overseeing programs to make sure they work. "It makes the budget process more rational, it improves accountability and it strengthens enforcement;' said Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier, R-Calif. , noting that President Clinton and his Republican predecessors have supported the idea. · But critics said they would be turned into fiscal lame ducks the second year. Rep. Nick Smith,, R-Mlch., said a two-year I budget would be inadequate in situations such as has occurred in the past two years, when Congressional Budget Office estimates changed from projections of a $70 billion federal deficit in 'fiscal 2000 to current estimates of a S200 billion surplus. Fear of ceding congressional power was also involved in a 236-17 3 vote to defeat an amendment . by Rep. George Gekas, R-Pa., to automatically keep federal programs running even when Congress and the White House fail to conclude spending bills by· Oct. 1. The bill is H .R . 853.

WASHINGTON (AP) - For the first time . in almost a year, consumer prices held steady as costs feU for gasoline, airfares and clothing, helping to offset higher prices for tobacco products, prescription drugs and cars. The flat reading in April for the Consumer Price Index, the most closely watched inflation gauge, followed two straight months of sharp price increases, mostJy reflecting surging energy costs, the Labor Department said T4esday, The last time consumer prices showed n~ change was last June. Ovtside the volatile energy and food categories, the "core" rate of inflation rose a modest 0.2 percent in April, foUowing a strong 0.4 percent increase the month before. April's performance - both the main CPI figure and the core rate - matched many analysts' expecutions. On Wall Street., stocks rose after the report's release and held onto those early gains after the . Federal Reserve announced its sixth interest rate increase since last June. The Dow Jones in'dustrial average ended up 126.79 points to close at 10,934.57, according to preliminary calculations. The Nasdaq gained 109.88 points to finish at 3,717.53. But some economists believe the good news on inflation may be fleeting. · "May's CPI will come in a good deal less user-friendly;• predicted First Union 's chief economist, David Orr. One of the main reasons: a rebound in energy costs, Orr and other economists said. To slow the supercharged economy and keep inflation at bay, the Fed raised a key'interest rate Tuesday by an aggressive half point to ().50 percent. The Fed's interest rate increases are designed to make borrowing more expensive, thus cooling demand for big-ticket items such as cars and homes, something that would help keep inflation in check.

Security lacking in details ' ' T he men likely to be our presidential candidates this fall offer diflcrent versions of what should be done to keep Social Security atloat. George W. Bush's proposal lacks specifics; · AI Gore believes the booming economy m~ke his opponent's ideas superfluous. If Social Security is indeed ready to go broke in about 40 years, then what's needed is action - period. This being an election • year, however, all we'll hear is talk . Out if we are to hear talk, then both can••• didates need to throw a bone or two to voters who are worried post-employment benefits will dry up in 2037. That's the latest projection for Social Security to go belly up if nothing is done to stem the loss money into the program. Bush is pushing the GOP's favored plan of privatizing some of the benefits. That means . a portion of the employment tax supporting Social Security would be directed to individual accounts for iJWestment in the stock market. · The idea, based on the current rage for Wall Street returns, is that stocks or other investments yield more than Treasury bills or government bonds, where payroll taxes are now invested. · For the short term, that seems like a workable proposal, except for • one thing: the volatility of the stock market. . · True, the recent downturn the market experienced was' a memory • within a week. But is it wise to entrust something as important as sup• plemental retirement income to private accounts? Should we trust • ,even part of those needed funds with the ups and downs of trading? Bush has rejected unpopular ideas that may attract criticism, but • unless his strategists have something more concrete to give us, it will , be difficult for him to win any po_ints with voters. Gore's contention the .economy's general well-being and budget • surpluses make utmecessary a revision of how we pay into Social Security lacks merit for the same reason. Economic growth has been sustained for the past decade, but with , "adjustments" on Wall Street and the ever-looming threat of higher ~ interest rates, how long the boom will continue is open to debate. ,: Nowng would be better if our economic growth would continue, ~ but dips and setbacks are common in our history. Trusting that the . good times will keep rolling is foolhardy. Many tri-county readers ~ remember the last time government and investors threw caution to the ~ wind. It was the Great Depression, and we no desire to relive it. • At the same time, the candidates ask us to trust they have the right ·~ answer, which can't be implemented unless one or the other is elect: ed. Of course, for both candidates, it may be too early to unveil a plat.:. form on Social Security. We hope that by the time the conventions · · come around, and Bush and Gore get their parties' nominations as -' expected, both campaigns will have something more so~d for us to , consider before November. •· Saving Social.Security is a paramount issue in this election.

Security lacking in details ' ' T he men likely to be our presidential candidates this fall offer diflcrent versions of what should be done to keep Social Security atloat. George W. Bush's proposal lacks specifics; · AI Gore believes the booming economy m~ke his opponent's ideas superfluous. If Social Security is indeed ready to go broke in about 40 years, then what's needed is action - period. This being an election • year, however, all we'll hear is talk . Out if we are to hear talk, then both can••• didates need to throw a bone or two to voters who are worried post-employment benefits will dry up in 2037. That's the latest projection for Social Security to go belly up if nothing is done to stem the loss money into the program. Bush is pushing the GOP's favored plan of privatizing some of the benefits. That means . a portion of the employment tax supporting Social Security would be directed to individual accounts for iJWestment in the stock market. · The idea, based on the current rage for Wall Street returns, is that stocks or other investments yield more than Treasury bills or government bonds, where payroll taxes are now invested. · For the short term, that seems like a workable proposal, except for • one thing: the volatility of the stock market. . · True, the recent downturn the market experienced was' a memory • within a week. But is it wise to entrust something as important as sup• plemental retirement income to private accounts? Should we trust • ,even part of those needed funds with the ups and downs of trading? Bush has rejected unpopular ideas that may attract criticism, but • unless his strategists have something more concrete to give us, it will , be difficult for him to win any po_ints with voters. Gore's contention the .economy's general well-being and budget • surpluses make utmecessary a revision of how we pay into Social Security lacks merit for the same reason. Economic growth has been sustained for the past decade, but with , "adjustments" on Wall Street and the ever-looming threat of higher ~ interest rates, how long the boom will continue is open to debate. ,: Nowng would be better if our economic growth would continue, ~ but dips and setbacks are common in our history. Trusting that the . good times will keep rolling is foolhardy. Many tri-county readers ~ remember the last time government and investors threw caution to the ~ wind. It was the Great Depression, and we no desire to relive it. • At the same time, the candidates ask us to trust they have the right ·~ answer, which can't be implemented unless one or the other is elect: ed. Of course, for both candidates, it may be too early to unveil a plat.:. form on Social Security. We hope that by the time the conventions · · come around, and Bush and Gore get their parties' nominations as -' expected, both campaigns will have something more so~d for us to , consider before November. •· Saving Social.Security is a paramount issue in this election.

' Answer: Encopresis is a "doctor term" that describes the symptom of inappropriate passage of stool in a pe rso~;~ over 4 years old. This fairly common condition usually involves soiling the underwear, as happens with your daughter. Sometimes. though, it can be more extensive, and the person will have a complete bowel movement in an inappropriate place, including in the pants. Encopresis - which has a number of causes - can be divided into two types. First are the children who never gain control of their bowel movements. Second are those who learn how to' control their bowel move~ ments and then revert back to e.arlier behavior. This distinction is important because those who have never had control of their bowel movements are likely to have a structural defect in the anatomy of.the colon or nervous system that causes this problem. And as you might imagine, this disorder is treated differently than encopresis caused by other abnormalities. Prom the way you .worded your question, I assume th~t your daughter has previously had good control of her bowel movements and only recently developed encopresis. This may be the con~equence of emotional stress. Some children, whether because of toilet training experience or because they haven't yet learned other ways of dealing with emotionally stressful situations, delay having a bowel movement. This persists until the colon is literally full. Subsequently, the stools h'.l!cbme dry and hard. It becomes d,ifficult to pass this impacted ~~ool, but pressure in the bowel can force a small amount of more llquid stool around the i'fupaction.This "leakage" can soil ri~ underwear. : -other conditions that can lead now, most encopresis is associated with constipation, and relieving that underlying constipation is a necessary first step. Often it is necessary to uclean out" the colon first, using strong laxatives and/ or enemas. Afterwards, it is necessary t~ keep the stools soft and slippery fur about six months for the colon to become "reeducated." This is best accomplished by a combination of diet and medication. A diet .high in fiber - at least 30 grams each day can act as a unatural" laxative and adequate water intake can also help keep the stools soft. Mineral oil is the preferred medicine to . keep the stools soft and slippery. The unpleasant consistency ' and tast~ of mineral oil can be made bearable by mixing two tablespoons of it in 8 ounces of cold orange juice. Perhaps your daughter will tolerate it when taken tllis way. It is also important to take a multivitamin every day when taking mineral oil. You see, the oil holds some of the fat-soluble · vitamins s6 that the body . can't absorb them. To insure that the vitamin pill is absorbed properly, it should be taken several hours - preferably six or more' - after the mineral oil. Certainly you shoult't take your daughter back to her doctor so that both you and she clearly understand the cause of her encopresis and the treatment plan to correct the problem.

Promiscuous interbreeding of all these species has led to many hybrid forms, some of which are natural hybrids and others which are the . result of intentional breeding. With the exception of the somewhat stocky Fan columbine, aU columbines have light, airy foliage. Each leaf is cqmposed of three fanlike leaflets which resemble those of the maidenhair fern. The soft mounds of columbine foliage not only enhance the grace and airiness of the flowers hovering overhead, but are themselves attractive in the garden. \.. Columbines are easy to grow. They are not choosy about soil and ' thrive in either full sun or Partial shade. Although c;Jassified as perennials, columbines often die out after a few years. But new plants are· easy to propagate by dividinjland replanting old plants in late summer, or by sowing seed. The seeds sprout best if first kept cool for a few weeks aft.,r sowing - in a refrigerator, for example.

' Answer: Encopresis is a "doctor term" that describes the symptom of inappropriate passage of stool in a pe rso~;~ over 4 years old. This fairly common condition usually involves soiling the underwear, as happens with your daughter. Sometimes. though, it can be more extensive, and the person will have a complete bowel movement in an inappropriate place, including in the pants. Encopresis - which has a number of causes - can be divided into two types. First are the children who never gain control of their bowel movements. Second are those who learn how to' control their bowel move~ ments and then revert back to e.arlier behavior. This distinction is important because those who have never had control of their bowel movements are likely to have a structural defect in the anatomy of.the colon or nervous system that causes this problem. And as you might imagine, this disorder is treated differently than encopresis caused by other abnormalities. Prom the way you .worded your question, I assume th~t your daughter has previously had good control of her bowel movements and only recently developed encopresis. This may be the con~equence of emotional stress. Some children, whether because of toilet training experience or because they haven't yet learned other ways of dealing with emotionally stressful situations, delay having a bowel movement. This persists until the colon is literally full. Subsequently, the stools h'.l!cbme dry and hard. It becomes d,ifficult to pass this impacted ~~ool, but pressure in the bowel can force a small amount of more llquid stool around the i'fupaction.This "leakage" can soil ri~ underwear. : -other conditions that can lead now, most encopresis is associated with constipation, and relieving that underlying constipation is a necessary first step. Often it is necessary to uclean out" the colon first, using strong laxatives and/ or enemas. Afterwards, it is necessary t~ keep the stools soft and slippery fur about six months for the colon to become "reeducated." This is best accomplished by a combination of diet and medication. A diet .high in fiber - at least 30 grams each day can act as a unatural" laxative and adequate water intake can also help keep the stools soft. Mineral oil is the preferred medicine to . keep the stools soft and slippery. The unpleasant consistency ' and tast~ of mineral oil can be made bearable by mixing two tablespoons of it in 8 ounces of cold orange juice. Perhaps your daughter will tolerate it when taken tllis way. It is also important to take a multivitamin every day when taking mineral oil. You see, the oil holds some of the fat-soluble · vitamins s6 that the body . can't absorb them. To insure that the vitamin pill is absorbed properly, it should be taken several hours - preferably six or more' - after the mineral oil. Certainly you shoult't take your daughter back to her doctor so that both you and she clearly understand the cause of her encopresis and the treatment plan to correct the problem.

THE GARDENER'S GUIDE: Let columbine flowers ·fly in the garden ' • (AP) Columbine flowers seem • destined for flight, hovering as tliey do above the plants' leaves t; thered to the ground by slender · stilks.

Perblips it was this aerial quality that ii)duced women 6f a century ago · t;:> dangle the freshly picked flow<fS• attached to thin hoops of ~ld, from their ears as earrings. • The native · Canadian columbine is among the daintiest Of columbines. The flowers are sinaU and bright,: with yellow petals shading to orange at the s'urs. They are the earliest cf>lumbines to bloom. Another sQ!all columbine is the Alpine t{>lumbine and it usually has blue ' OpWers. : If you like• splashier flowers, g¢w a hybrid variety of celumbine. McKana's Giants have eiaormous flowers. Nora Barlow hls double flowers. Fan columbine is among the few cOlumbine species with spu des. tl!)Wers. : If spurs characterize a CC.lumbine flower, then Rocky · Mountain columbine is tops in &s area. From its flowers, usually • ' blue and white, trail long tapering spurs. At the other extreme is Granny's Bonnet with blue or violet flowers and short spurs. There are about 65 species of columbines. Promiscuous interbreeding of all these species has led to many hybrid forms, some of which are natural hybrids and others which are the . result of intentional breeding. With the exception of the somewhat stocky Fan columbine, aU columbines have light, airy foliage. Each leaf is cqmposed of three fanlike leaflets which resemble those of the maidenhair fern. The soft mounds of columbine foliage not only enhance the grace and airiness of the flowers hovering overhead, but are themselves attractive in the garden. \.. Columbines are easy to grow. They are not choosy about soil and ' thrive in either full sun or Partial shade. Although c;Jassified as perennials, columbines often die out after a few years. But new plants are· easy to propagate by dividinjland replanting old plants in late summer, or by sowing seed. The seeds sprout best if first kept cool for a few weeks aft.,r sowing - in a refrigerator, for example.

"Finally,'' O'Neill said .after a celebra1ory dance on the pool deck at Sydney Aquatic Center. "I saw the time and saw the world record flash up. It was one of the greatest moments of my life." O'Neill, the 1996 Atlanta Olympic gold medalist, was pushed all the way byOlympic silver medalist Petria Thomas, who was timed in 2:07.21 to place second in the A.ustralian Olympic selection trials. over Malone to make it 79-77, and the Blazers got the ball back with 12.6 seconds left after John Stockton was forced to take an off-balance three-pointer with the shot clock running down. It barely caught · iron, and Pippen rebounded and called timeout. Pippen's head fake got Bryon Russell up in the air, and Pippen buried the shot. "He was so deep," Russell said. "And he's not a good three-point shooter anyway, so I felt good about it. He looked like he prayed it in anyway, but it went in." Pippen did much of his damage after coming back from an accidental elbow to the back of the neck from teammate Arvydas Sabonis. Pippen lay on the floor, dazed, for several minutes follow ing the hit, which came after Sabonis' hook ·shot tied the game at 71 with 5:36 left . Trailing 80-79, Utah had a chance to take the lead when Russell was foul ed by D etlef Sclirempf with three seconds left, but Russell mi ssed ,. both free throws. . , Russell complained that someone was "shaking and jumping down on" the basket support, altering his first shot. There was bnef confusion as the officials decided what to do, but they did- "I just felt really strong in the water.''. O'Neill said. "I knew I was going to touch, and when I heard the reaction from the crowd I knew I had done it." O'Neill was ahead of a worldrecord pace from the start and, turning into the final lap, had the crowd of 10, 126 roaring. Her split at 50 meters was 28.51 seconds, inside the 29.53 · world record pace. She clocked I :00.24 at l 00 meters, cutting more than a second' off the worldrecord split of 1:01.41 , and then maintained the margin over the next 50 to turn at 1:32.71 going into the final lap. After touching in· record time, she looked up and punched her fists in the air, completing her sixyear quest. The 26-year-old Aussie has gone unbeaten in the 200 butterfly since 1994 and has been edging · early, and he plans to work at least through his final year.

"You hate to have your worst game of the season in the last game of the season," Suns coach Scott Skiles said. "I feel bad for our guys, they gave me all thl'}' had. The Lakers weren't that good, we just couldn't make shots. We lost our co mposure in the second quarter." It sme looked that way. The Suns were a beaten team by late in the period, and it showed in their body language after they continued to miss shot after shot, many unopposed. T he Lakers had two l 0-0 runs n't award him another try. Pippen grabbed the rebound of the second miss, was fouled immediately and hit one of two free throws for an 81-79 lead. Utah, which staved off elimination with an 88-85 victory in Game 4 on Suncl~y. had one last chance. With 1.4 seconds left, Russell inbounded the ball to Karl Malone, who gave it back to Russell, whose shot was way off. The Jazz and coach Jerry Sloan heatedly called for a foul, but no whistle came. "You saw it. It happened right in front of me. He was definitely fouled,'' Sloan' said. The Jazz, beaten for the second straight year by the Blazers, have been a perennial contend~r, twice reaching the NBA Finals. But it was the last game for that team in its current form. Guard Jeff Hornacek has said he is retiring. And it's doubtful Utah can make another run without dramalically changing' the team surrounding Malone and John Stockton. "Actually, I wasn't thinking about it being my last game, but it is sad that I won't be out there anymore,''· Hornacek said. Malone had 27 points and 1 l rebounds. Russell had 18 points and Hornacek l 0. "lhis is a tough way to end the season," Malone said. "You get nothing for second place in this business." Utah lost its 14th straight playoff game in Portland. The Blazers, who had won the first three games of the series by a combined 56 points, felt fortunate to avoid a return trip to Utah. "I have the greatest amount of respect for Utah;' Blazers .coach Mike Dunleavy said. "How they play, how hard they play, how they execute. I use them as a model for my team." Pippen led the Blazers with 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Sabonis scored 16 points. Pippen scored just 15 points on 6-of-22 shooting in the previous thre,e .gatpes and was annoyed at Dunleavy for sitting him during the first 9:49 of the fourth quarter ' in Game 4. ~ Notes: Only one of Portland's 17 best-of-seven series has gone the distance: a 4-3 win over San Antonio in the 1990 conference semifinals. ...

O'NeiU was timed in 2 minutes, 5.81 seconds, topping the record by 0.15 seconds. Meagher's time. of 2:05.96, was set at Brown Deer, Wis. , on Aug.13, 1981. "Finally,'' O'Neill said .after a celebra1ory dance on the pool deck at Sydney Aquatic Center. "I saw the time and saw the world record flash up. It was one of the greatest moments of my life." O'Neill, the 1996 Atlanta Olympic gold medalist, was pushed all the way byOlympic silver medalist Petria Thomas, who was timed in 2:07.21 to place second in the A.ustralian Olympic selection trials. over Malone to make it 79-77, and the Blazers got the ball back with 12.6 seconds left after John Stockton was forced to take an off-balance three-pointer with the shot clock running down. It barely caught · iron, and Pippen rebounded and called timeout. Pippen's head fake got Bryon Russell up in the air, and Pippen buried the shot. "He was so deep," Russell said. "And he's not a good three-point shooter anyway, so I felt good about it. He looked like he prayed it in anyway, but it went in." Pippen did much of his damage after coming back from an accidental elbow to the back of the neck from teammate Arvydas Sabonis. Pippen lay on the floor, dazed, for several minutes follow ing the hit, which came after Sabonis' hook ·shot tied the game at 71 with 5:36 left . Trailing 80-79, Utah had a chance to take the lead when Russell was foul ed by D etlef Sclirempf with three seconds left, but Russell mi ssed ,. both free throws. . , Russell complained that someone was "shaking and jumping down on" the basket support, altering his first shot. There was bnef confusion as the officials decided what to do, but they did- "I just felt really strong in the water.''. O'Neill said. "I knew I was going to touch, and when I heard the reaction from the crowd I knew I had done it." O'Neill was ahead of a worldrecord pace from the start and, turning into the final lap, had the crowd of 10, 126 roaring. Her split at 50 meters was 28.51 seconds, inside the 29.53 · world record pace. She clocked I :00.24 at l 00 meters, cutting more than a second' off the worldrecord split of 1:01.41 , and then maintained the margin over the next 50 to turn at 1:32.71 going into the final lap. After touching in· record time, she looked up and punched her fists in the air, completing her sixyear quest. The 26-year-old Aussie has gone unbeaten in the 200 butterfly since 1994 and has been edging · early, and he plans to work at least through his final year.

"You hate to have your worst game of the season in the last game of the season," Suns coach Scott Skiles said. "I feel bad for our guys, they gave me all thl'}' had. The Lakers weren't that good, we just couldn't make shots. We lost our co mposure in the second quarter." It sme looked that way. The Suns were a beaten team by late in the period, and it showed in their body language after they continued to miss shot after shot, many unopposed. T he Lakers had two l 0-0 runs n't award him another try. Pippen grabbed the rebound of the second miss, was fouled immediately and hit one of two free throws for an 81-79 lead. Utah, which staved off elimination with an 88-85 victory in Game 4 on Suncl~y. had one last chance. With 1.4 seconds left, Russell inbounded the ball to Karl Malone, who gave it back to Russell, whose shot was way off. The Jazz and coach Jerry Sloan heatedly called for a foul, but no whistle came. "You saw it. It happened right in front of me. He was definitely fouled,'' Sloan' said. The Jazz, beaten for the second straight year by the Blazers, have been a perennial contend~r, twice reaching the NBA Finals. But it was the last game for that team in its current form. Guard Jeff Hornacek has said he is retiring. And it's doubtful Utah can make another run without dramalically changing' the team surrounding Malone and John Stockton. "Actually, I wasn't thinking about it being my last game, but it is sad that I won't be out there anymore,''· Hornacek said. Malone had 27 points and 1 l rebounds. Russell had 18 points and Hornacek l 0. "lhis is a tough way to end the season," Malone said. "You get nothing for second place in this business." Utah lost its 14th straight playoff game in Portland. The Blazers, who had won the first three games of the series by a combined 56 points, felt fortunate to avoid a return trip to Utah. "I have the greatest amount of respect for Utah;' Blazers .coach Mike Dunleavy said. "How they play, how hard they play, how they execute. I use them as a model for my team." Pippen led the Blazers with 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Sabonis scored 16 points.

Jeff Hornacek wouldn't have it any other way. Moments after Portland beat the Utah Jazz in Game 5 of the Western Conferepee semis and officially launched the [,;tirement of one of the league truly good guys, somebody asked Hornacek about future plans. His five-year-old daughter, Abigale, sat in his lap, flanked by older brothers Ryan and '!yler. Most of the $5 million Hornacek made this past season was sitting in the bank. Turns out that was the extent of his plans. • "As a player, you always think you're going to win the game. At this point, it's sad, I guess, that I won't be out there play- ing any more. But as you can see," Hornacek said with a sweep of his arm, "these guys and my wife will keep me busy." Although he steps down happy, healthy and with the prospect of even more good days ahead than behind, there is a certain sadness in seeing Hornacek go at age 37. He announced last fall that a chronically troublesome left knee would make this, his 14th season in the league, his last. But it wasn't until he walked off the floor in Portland, alongside teammates John Stockton, 38, and Karl Malone, 36, that it was clear what the league is about to lose. Loyalty on both sides of the equation is what made the Jazz that rarest of com~ modities in this era of free agency: a team crafted around a core of vereran players and allowed to grow old together. The trio put Utah in back-to-back NBA Finals against Michael Jordan's Bulls in 1997 and 1998, and no doubt expected to be the biggest beneficiary of the breakup in Chicago the following season.

Well, they can beat the New Jersey Devils, once they get under their skin and get them to play Flyers hockey. ; ,You know the style: serums all over the ice, clutching and grabbif!g. trash talking and fighting. .

Boucher, who had 30 saves, preserved the lead, making stops on Bobby Holik and Patrik Elias in front in the final 35 seconds. , The comeback was just the'latest in a memorable and topsyturvy year for the Flyers.

Hometown Newspaper so Cents Law adds Heines, Pore named top EHS grads penalties to DUI . COLUMBUS (AP) - A law punishing Ohio's drunkest drivers took effect Wednesday. but some worry that chronically impaired drivers will escape punishment by refusing to be tested for alcohol use. The new law increases' the maximum possible penalty to five years for people who are convicted of drunken driving four or more times within six years. The maximum before Wednesday was . 18 months. 1 The law, sponsored by Sen. Bruce Johnson, a Westerville Republican, also doubles jail time for convicted drunken drivers whose blood-alcohol content ·is 0.17 percent or higher. The legal limit in Ohio is 0.10 percent. The law "sends yet another message, and a clearer message, for the group of people who are hard-core drunks, that the state is serious about you·r rehabilitation, and the level of rehabilitation is going to end up with more penalties," Johnson said. ·One of the bill's strongest supporters was Hamilton County Prosecutor Michael Allen. He cited the case of Gregory Roy, who has been convicted 14 times since 1975 for drunken driving but 11ntil this year had never ' served l~nger tha:n . a one-year sentence. · ·,"I' have always thou~ht that judges n.e eded a tool to lle able to warehouse these types of offenders," Allen s3id. "There are some people you :re just not going to cure, you have to warehouse." Roy, 44, is serving a. 4 112-year sentence in Pickaway Correctii>nal Institution on three separ~te charges of felony drunken driving. The sentence includes three years for violating probation on two earlier convictions. Tim Huey of the Ohio Associati'on . for Criminal Defense Lawyers said that rather t,han keeping chronic drunken drivers off the road, the law Will encourage more of them to refuse to take the blood-alcohol test. "This thing, while it might be well-intentioned, will have the oP.posite effect it will at:>solutely discourage people from taking the test," Huey said .. People who refuse to take the test automatically lose their driver's license for one year. But prosecutors lose the. evidence of the offender's blood-alcohol level. Johnson, the bill's sponsor, said he 'doesn't believe any more .p(jl;l.; pie wi)J refuse to be tested. Drug- and alcohol-abuse coun- BY BRIAN ).
