Norwood's mayor cleared CINCINNAT I (A I') - The mayor of suburban Norwood, origmJlly charged with 14 cri•ninal counts that can icd a possible- 3-+ycar prison sentence, was found b'l•ilty Tuesday of a single misdemeanor and ordered to pay court costs. The judge saiJ the state failed to prove its allegations against Joseph Hochbein, a Republican serving his second term in Norwood, a city of 24,000 people. · "There has been no evidence produced at this trial of dishone~ty," said Judge Fred Cartolano of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. "No one in Norwood ot the city itself was financially harmed." The mayor was accused of using two private civic functions the Norwood Car Show and Mayor's Classic basketball and tennis 'ournaments - to illegally funnel money into his campaign and private bank accounts. Hochbein, a Cincinnati lawyer, said he did <Wthing wrong and that the charges were politically motivated. :Cartolano sentenced the mayor to pay the court·costs of the trial, a!:>out Sl ,200. The verdict means that Hochbein can keep his law hcense and continue serving as mayor. He had 1--een indicted in July. "Our position all along has been that he never committed a theft, h~ never harmed anyone," defense lawyer Glenn Whitaker said. ; Eleven counts bad been dropped or dismissed earlier in the trial. . Gn Tuesday, Hochbein entered into a plea bargam by pleading no c{lntest to the three remaining charges- a felony count of election falsification and two misdemeanor counts of falsification. But the judge. who said he never heard any evidence of Hochbein 's guilt in the weeklong trial. dismissed the felony. • - Wednesday, December 6, 2000 _ Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio Five-and-dime closing ' : MASSILLON (AP) -An era will end in this northeast Ohio steel ciry in January when the Ben Fran kim variety store closes for good.

Norwood's mayor cleared CINCINNAT I (A I') - The mayor of suburban Norwood, origmJlly charged with 14 cri•ninal counts that can icd a possible- 3-+ycar prison sentence, was found b'l•ilty Tuesday of a single misdemeanor and ordered to pay court costs. The judge saiJ the state failed to prove its allegations against Joseph Hochbein, a Republican serving his second term in Norwood, a city of 24,000 people. · "There has been no evidence produced at this trial of dishone~ty," said Judge Fred Cartolano of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. "No one in Norwood ot the city itself was financially harmed." The mayor was accused of using two private civic functions the Norwood Car Show and Mayor's Classic basketball and tennis 'ournaments - to illegally funnel money into his campaign and private bank accounts. Hochbein, a Cincinnati lawyer, said he did <Wthing wrong and that the charges were politically motivated. :Cartolano sentenced the mayor to pay the court·costs of the trial, a!:>out Sl ,200. The verdict means that Hochbein can keep his law hcense and continue serving as mayor. He had 1--een indicted in July. "Our position all along has been that he never committed a theft, h~ never harmed anyone," defense lawyer Glenn Whitaker said. ; Eleven counts bad been dropped or dismissed earlier in the trial. . Gn Tuesday, Hochbein entered into a plea bargam by pleading no c{lntest to the three remaining charges- a felony count of election falsification and two misdemeanor counts of falsification. But the judge. who said he never heard any evidence of Hochbein 's guilt in the weeklong trial. dismissed the felony. • - Wednesday, December 6, 2000 _ Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio Five-and-dime closing ' : MASSILLON (AP) -An era will end in this northeast Ohio steel ciry in January when the Ben Fran kim variety store closes for good.

I worked up until two weeks prior to my daughter's death. During that time, I made no mention to my co-workers about my daughter's grave condition. It was just too sad. Three weeks · before my daughter died, my supervisor called me into her office and told me I had a "bad attitude." I admit that I had kept my feelings to myself, and of course my demeanor reflected a sad expression, but my attitude was never " bad." I quickly responded to my supervisor, in my defense, that my daughter was dying and asked her how I was supposed to act. She told me there were other nurses who had gravely ill c hildren , but they didn't behave the way I did. · I replied that she should walk a Dear ~bby ADVICE mile in my shoes. She reiterated thar I had a "bad attitude." I responded that since she seemed to be such an authority on behavior and dying children, perhaps she could enlighten me on how to "act"- because I really didn't know. I have since returned to work, and I now have a strong dislike for this person. I see her daily, and she has the nerve to speak to me after that unpleasant encounter. Abby, how do I get past this? She has apologized for her comments, but the damage has already been done. -FURIOUS R.N. IN THE NORTHEAST DEAR FURIOUS: It's unfortunate that your behavior was misundentood, but since your colleagues had no way of knowing what you were going through at the time, )'our supervisor wa~ only doing her job. Please accept he'r apology and find it in your heart to forgive her. If you cannot, professional counseling to help you rechannel your grief and anger may be in order. Life is too precious to harbor resentments. D!:AR ABBY: I'm writing about ynur response to "Disappointed in Seattk" r~.~~arding security in marriage. You above all should know that marriage does not necessarily mean security. You have printed enough letters from victims of marriages to have responded differently. Abby, there are con-men, gamble<~, alcoholics, abusers, and people who just abandon mates and children. Finding security in marriage is like catching a feather in the wind - some catch . it, most don't, no matter how hard they try. Want security? Get your own job, open a bank account, and earn some selfesteem and confidence. Don't rely on someone else for your security.- JOAN C. IN BAY SHORE, N.Y. DEAR JOAN: While I agree that a marriage certificate is not a one-way ticket to easy street, the kind of security to which I was referring were rights of inheritance and, should illness strike , the authority to instruct doctOrs about cadi SOCIETY NEWS AND NOTES Don't forget local agencies on your Christmas list "For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home ..." How true that line from a Christmas time favorite rings in the tricounty region . The Mason -G allia- Meigs commumty always rallies to lielp its own during the holiday season. There are so many wonderful, worthy opportunities for tri-county 'residents to show their dedication and app reciation this year. Wnether it's a toy drive, a clothing drive, a literacy drive, a food drive or the United Fund of Meigs County, myriad charitable caus. es need your help. ·Please pick one - or m\)re - and do what you can to help. No gift is too small to these groups. which depend o n you to survive. .And don't forget the United Way of Gallia County on your Choristn1as list. This umbrella organization funds volunteer agencies such as Hospice and Serenity House that touch residents in all three cotmties. The United Way is in the midst of its annual campa1gn and has rais~d about 30 percent of its $125,000 goal. That's a goal that could be surpassed- nay, blown away- with a minimal effort from trico4nty residents and businesses during the holiday season. Ten dolian,here and I 0 dollars there really adds up. V/ith your gift, you will be giving hope to families in need. And you never know when it might be your family with the need. Right now, there are a lot of needy families in the tri-county regi9n . The new economy which has blessed other parts of the , cquntry is slow in coming here. ,"According to recent reports from the agencies, the need for assistance is high," said Jean Houck, executive director of the United Wa'f of Galli a County. "With winter here, we need to make sure we can' provide help now - and throughout the year." So how can you help' . lt's easy, really. You can make a one-time donation or set it up so yout gift is automatically deducted from your paycheck in little increments throughout next year. With this method, you may not even notice it nllssing. Any way you want to give - and, yes, that includes pennies - is welcome, United Way officials said. Checks should be made payable to the United Way of Galli a County, P.O. Box 771, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. Your money stays right here in the tri-county region. for information about the United Way or to volunteer, call 740446-0322. . w.tnesd.,, ~I, 110&-- Nurse burdened with grief had good reason for bad attitude ...... --- twe.M~ Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Rv ·th'ae Bend Page AS:- ~ The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, December I, lOGO Contest winners announced ,, RUSHER'S VIEW Southem students . place in history contest The mess in Florida ·- round four This country is famous for its habit of dragging all manner of disputes into tht' courts to be settl~d by litigation, s'u it i.li no cause fur surprise that the public has been content to see rhe dispute over the presidential election wind up there. According to one recent count, no less than 50 lawsuits on one aspect or another of the controversy have been filed in various courts in Florida. And the public· habit of acquiesce nce in the courts' decisions is so ingrained that even those of the Supreme Court of Florida, a band of seven liberal Democrats the bounds of whose passion for AI Gore have yet to be discovered , get far more respect than they deserve. No wonder, then, that many people have received the news that the Florida legislature may decide to choose the state's electors itself with something ·approaching bewilderment. How did the legislature get into the act, and why? Since both houses are controlled by lopsided Republican majorities, is thi s just a Republican stunt, perhaps engineered by Gov. Jeb Bush, George W's brother? The media have carefully avoided giving the true explanation. We have been left to assume that the Florida legislature's intervention would be as arrogant and gratuitous as the New York legislature suddenly decreeing that the Mets had won the World Series . But in fact there is nothing arrogant or gratuitous about the Florida legislature's interest in the matter. Article II, Section l of the U.S. Consmution explicitly says: "Each State shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of Electors, equal to the whole number of Senators at1d Representatives to which the State' William Rusher NEA COLUMNIST 1nay be entitled in the Congress:" (Emphasis added.) If for any reason the choice of electors is not made ln such manner, Title Ill , Section 2 of the U.S. Code (adopted in 194H) provides a backup procedure: "Whenever any State has hdd an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appoi nted on a subsequent day in such manner as the legislature of suc h State may direct ." (Emphasis added.) Not, please note, the courts. The legislature. Why do you suppose this important power was vested in the legi slature, and not in the presumably more "neutral" co urts? Because the selection of presidential electors is, precisely and supremely, a political act, and it is in the state legislature - the directly elected representatives of the people- that the state's political decisions are supposed to be made. To have them made by the co urts would be a travesty of representative govcn1ment (however much the courts might enjoy exercising the power') . Of cm1rs~, once proc.:dun:s for .tppointing " eknors are in place, and if nuking sure that they arc· properly observed ha s been left by . the legislature (as it usually is) to the courts, ' then the courts must be protected from undue interference, eve n from the legisbture. And so Title Ill. S<etion 5 was added to the U.S. Code. providing that, " If any state shall hav~ proyided, by laws enacted pnor to the day fix'~J for the <lppointment of the electors , for its final d~lermin.ttion 0f any controversy or contest concernitig the appointment of all or any of the electors ofsuch .state, by j udicial or • other methods or proce dures, such detennination ... sha ll be conclusive." But of co urse in the current case of Florida, its Sl1preme Court did not abide by th e laws "emcted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors:· On the contrary, it simply rewrote them. It actually forbade Florida 's Secretary of State to certify the election on the date prescribed in th em. Instead, it ordered manual recounts in three heavily Democratic counties, extended the time for certification, and ordered the Secre- . tary of State to certify the resu lts , as amended by the recounts, on the new date. If this, and further ham- handed efforts of the Florida Supreme Court to throw the election in the state to Mr. Gore, manage to roil the waters sufficiently to cast doubt on who, exactly, arc Florida's electors, its legislature will have a consritutional and statutory obligation to intervene and settle the question.

Clio Associate Professor of Fainily Medicine l'rf:llt ' Question: My husband ~as a difficult time falling asleep because his legs bother him. Our doctor says he has restless legs syndrome. He has given him some medicine for this, hut it hasn't helped very much . What causes this condition, and is there anything besides the Sinemet that could help him? Answer: As I've reminded the readers of this column before, any time. you see the label "syndrome" you should automatically know that your doctor is practicing the "art" of medicine instead of the "science" of medicine. I say this because a syndrome is a grouping of symptoms that are commonly observed together rather than a specific disease condition for which we understand the underlying causes. Consequendy, treatment qecisions are based less on lab tests than upon the more subjective - or "artful" careful observations of those with the syndrome. Individuals with restless 'legs syndrome 1110ve their legs, just as the name suggests, but they do this in response ro discotnfort rather than' in an effort to get someplace. Typically th..: legs become uncomfortable late in the day or after going to bed but before falling asleep. Mos.t describe the leg discmnfort as a burning, aching, itching or pins-and-necdl~s sensation rather dian as a sl'vcre pain·. Leg movement briefly rdievcs this dist.:mufort, but it returns in a few motncnrs after the Jegs cmne to rest. As a result, those \vith this syndrome have trouble falling asleep. In addition ro troubling the individual with the disorder, it also frequently disturbs his or her spouse. . Most who suffer with resrless legs syn drom ~ also experience ~==~ OIJCI~ periods of fidgeting during the chy, usually without pain. In addition ~o, the daytime fidgets and nighttime; pain, up to 80 percent have twitches, kicks or other leg movements at 20 to 30 second intervals during sleep. Not surprisingly, this often contributes to feelings of fatigue the morning. It also invariably dis- · rurbs the sleep of the bed partner. Restless leg syndr:ome strikes men and women with equal free quency. About five percent of the total adult population suffers fran\ · its symptoms, but 45 percent . of those over 65 complain of these symptoms frequently or occasio~- · ally. . m The Sinemet your husband has taken is a common treatmy.nt choice, but there are a number Of other medicines that can help or;, totally relieve the symptoms of this : syndrome. There are no simple tests that help your doctor determine which medicme is going to giv~ relief in a specific case.

I worked up until two weeks prior to my daughter's death. During that time, I made no mention to my co-workers about my daughter's grave condition. It was just too sad. Three weeks · before my daughter died, my supervisor called me into her office and told me I had a "bad attitude." I admit that I had kept my feelings to myself, and of course my demeanor reflected a sad expression, but my attitude was never " bad." I quickly responded to my supervisor, in my defense, that my daughter was dying and asked her how I was supposed to act. She told me there were other nurses who had gravely ill c hildren , but they didn't behave the way I did. · I replied that she should walk a Dear ~bby ADVICE mile in my shoes. She reiterated thar I had a "bad attitude." I responded that since she seemed to be such an authority on behavior and dying children, perhaps she could enlighten me on how to "act"- because I really didn't know. I have since returned to work, and I now have a strong dislike for this person. I see her daily, and she has the nerve to speak to me after that unpleasant encounter. Abby, how do I get past this? She has apologized for her comments, but the damage has already been done. -FURIOUS R.N. IN THE NORTHEAST DEAR FURIOUS: It's unfortunate that your behavior was misundentood, but since your colleagues had no way of knowing what you were going through at the time, )'our supervisor wa~ only doing her job. Please accept he'r apology and find it in your heart to forgive her. If you cannot, professional counseling to help you rechannel your grief and anger may be in order. Life is too precious to harbor resentments. D!:AR ABBY: I'm writing about ynur response to "Disappointed in Seattk" r~.~~arding security in marriage. You above all should know that marriage does not necessarily mean security. You have printed enough letters from victims of marriages to have responded differently. Abby, there are con-men, gamble<~, alcoholics, abusers, and people who just abandon mates and children. Finding security in marriage is like catching a feather in the wind - some catch . it, most don't, no matter how hard they try. Want security? Get your own job, open a bank account, and earn some selfesteem and confidence. Don't rely on someone else for your security.- JOAN C. IN BAY SHORE, N.Y. DEAR JOAN: While I agree that a marriage certificate is not a one-way ticket to easy street, the kind of security to which I was referring were rights of inheritance and, should illness strike , the authority to instruct doctOrs about cadi SOCIETY NEWS AND NOTES Don't forget local agencies on your Christmas list "For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home ..." How true that line from a Christmas time favorite rings in the tricounty region . The Mason -G allia- Meigs commumty always rallies to lielp its own during the holiday season. There are so many wonderful, worthy opportunities for tri-county 'residents to show their dedication and app reciation this year. Wnether it's a toy drive, a clothing drive, a literacy drive, a food drive or the United Fund of Meigs County, myriad charitable caus. es need your help. ·Please pick one - or m\)re - and do what you can to help. No gift is too small to these groups. which depend o n you to survive. .And don't forget the United Way of Gallia County on your Choristn1as list. This umbrella organization funds volunteer agencies such as Hospice and Serenity House that touch residents in all three cotmties. The United Way is in the midst of its annual campa1gn and has rais~d about 30 percent of its $125,000 goal. That's a goal that could be surpassed- nay, blown away- with a minimal effort from trico4nty residents and businesses during the holiday season. Ten dolian,here and I 0 dollars there really adds up. V/ith your gift, you will be giving hope to families in need. And you never know when it might be your family with the need. Right now, there are a lot of needy families in the tri-county regi9n . The new economy which has blessed other parts of the , cquntry is slow in coming here. ,"According to recent reports from the agencies, the need for assistance is high," said Jean Houck, executive director of the United Wa'f of Galli a County. "With winter here, we need to make sure we can' provide help now - and throughout the year." So how can you help' . lt's easy, really. You can make a one-time donation or set it up so yout gift is automatically deducted from your paycheck in little increments throughout next year. With this method, you may not even notice it nllssing. Any way you want to give - and, yes, that includes pennies - is welcome, United Way officials said. Checks should be made payable to the United Way of Galli a County, P.O. Box 771, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. Your money stays right here in the tri-county region. for information about the United Way or to volunteer, call 740446-0322. . w.tnesd.,, ~I, 110&-- Nurse burdened with grief had good reason for bad attitude ...... --- twe.M~ Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Rv ·th'ae Bend Page AS:- ~ The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, December I, lOGO Contest winners announced ,, RUSHER'S VIEW Southem students . place in history contest The mess in Florida ·- round four This country is famous for its habit of dragging all manner of disputes into tht' courts to be settl~d by litigation, s'u it i.li no cause fur surprise that the public has been content to see rhe dispute over the presidential election wind up there. According to one recent count, no less than 50 lawsuits on one aspect or another of the controversy have been filed in various courts in Florida. And the public· habit of acquiesce nce in the courts' decisions is so ingrained that even those of the Supreme Court of Florida, a band of seven liberal Democrats the bounds of whose passion for AI Gore have yet to be discovered , get far more respect than they deserve. No wonder, then, that many people have received the news that the Florida legislature may decide to choose the state's electors itself with something ·approaching bewilderment. How did the legislature get into the act, and why? Since both houses are controlled by lopsided Republican majorities, is thi s just a Republican stunt, perhaps engineered by Gov. Jeb Bush, George W's brother? The media have carefully avoided giving the true explanation. We have been left to assume that the Florida legislature's intervention would be as arrogant and gratuitous as the New York legislature suddenly decreeing that the Mets had won the World Series . But in fact there is nothing arrogant or gratuitous about the Florida legislature's interest in the matter. Article II, Section l of the U.S. Consmution explicitly says: "Each State shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of Electors, equal to the whole number of Senators at1d Representatives to which the State' William Rusher NEA COLUMNIST 1nay be entitled in the Congress:" (Emphasis added.) If for any reason the choice of electors is not made ln such manner, Title Ill , Section 2 of the U.S. Code (adopted in 194H) provides a backup procedure: "Whenever any State has hdd an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appoi nted on a subsequent day in such manner as the legislature of suc h State may direct ." (Emphasis added.) Not, please note, the courts. The legislature. Why do you suppose this important power was vested in the legi slature, and not in the presumably more "neutral" co urts? Because the selection of presidential electors is, precisely and supremely, a political act, and it is in the state legislature - the directly elected representatives of the people- that the state's political decisions are supposed to be made. To have them made by the co urts would be a travesty of representative govcn1ment (however much the courts might enjoy exercising the power') . Of cm1rs~, once proc.:dun:s for .tppointing " eknors are in place, and if nuking sure that they arc· properly observed ha s been left by . the legislature (as it usually is) to the courts, ' then the courts must be protected from undue interference, eve n from the legisbture. And so Title Ill. S<etion 5 was added to the U.S. Code. providing that, " If any state shall hav~ proyided, by laws enacted pnor to the day fix'~J for the <lppointment of the electors , for its final d~lermin.ttion 0f any controversy or contest concernitig the appointment of all or any of the electors ofsuch .state, by j udicial or • other methods or proce dures, such detennination ... sha ll be conclusive." But of co urse in the current case of Florida, its Sl1preme Court did not abide by th e laws "emcted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors:· On the contrary, it simply rewrote them. It actually forbade Florida 's Secretary of State to certify the election on the date prescribed in th em. Instead, it ordered manual recounts in three heavily Democratic counties, extended the time for certification, and ordered the Secre- . tary of State to certify the resu lts , as amended by the recounts, on the new date. If this, and further ham- handed efforts of the Florida Supreme Court to throw the election in the state to Mr. Gore, manage to roil the waters sufficiently to cast doubt on who, exactly, arc Florida's electors, its legislature will have a consritutional and statutory obligation to intervene and settle the question.

Clio Associate Professor of Fainily Medicine l'rf:llt ' Question: My husband ~as a difficult time falling asleep because his legs bother him. Our doctor says he has restless legs syndrome. He has given him some medicine for this, hut it hasn't helped very much . What causes this condition, and is there anything besides the Sinemet that could help him? Answer: As I've reminded the readers of this column before, any time. you see the label "syndrome" you should automatically know that your doctor is practicing the "art" of medicine instead of the "science" of medicine. I say this because a syndrome is a grouping of symptoms that are commonly observed together rather than a specific disease condition for which we understand the underlying causes. Consequendy, treatment qecisions are based less on lab tests than upon the more subjective - or "artful" careful observations of those with the syndrome. Individuals with restless 'legs syndrome 1110ve their legs, just as the name suggests, but they do this in response ro discotnfort rather than' in an effort to get someplace. Typically th..: legs become uncomfortable late in the day or after going to bed but before falling asleep. Mos.t describe the leg discmnfort as a burning, aching, itching or pins-and-necdl~s sensation rather dian as a sl'vcre pain·. Leg movement briefly rdievcs this dist.:mufort, but it returns in a few motncnrs after the Jegs cmne to rest. As a result, those \vith this syndrome have trouble falling asleep. In addition ro troubling the individual with the disorder, it also frequently disturbs his or her spouse. . Most who suffer with resrless legs syn drom ~ also experience ~==~ OIJCI~ periods of fidgeting during the chy, usually without pain. In addition ~o, the daytime fidgets and nighttime; pain, up to 80 percent have twitches, kicks or other leg movements at 20 to 30 second intervals during sleep. Not surprisingly, this often contributes to feelings of fatigue the morning. It also invariably dis- · rurbs the sleep of the bed partner. Restless leg syndr:ome strikes men and women with equal free quency. About five percent of the total adult population suffers fran\ · its symptoms, but 45 percent . of those over 65 complain of these symptoms frequently or occasio~- · ally. . m The Sinemet your husband has taken is a common treatmy.nt choice, but there are a number Of other medicines that can help or;, totally relieve the symptoms of this : syndrome. There are no simple tests that help your doctor determine which medicme is going to giv~ relief in a specific case.

Lawsuit filed against dothier WASHINGTON (AP) - A Nicaraguan garmellt factory that supplies discount!!d clothing to Americ:m soldiers imposes SW('Jtshop conditions ;md st:lrvation wages on its workt·rs, a lawSuit fikd Tu~o.·s­ day contends. The lawsuit, filed by labor-rights attorneys in U.S. District Court in Los Angcks. seeks punitive danugcs against the Ch,·ntex factory and its Taiwan-based parent, Nien Hsing. It contends Nien Hsing pays workers at the plant less than 20 cents for each pair of blue jeans sewn. The Jeans retail for b!'tween $25 and SJO, but workers rcceiw what amounts to less than 30 cents an hour. · At a Tuesday news conference, a sweatshop watchdog group said the jeans are sold to American military personnel through the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, which supplies servicemen and wotnen. According to the National Labor Committee for Human Rights, the service 1m ported 64 tons of blue jeans made at the Nicaraguan plant last July, August and September alone. "This factory in Nicaragua actually presents the true face of the global economy," said Charles Kernaghan, executive director of the watchdog. "It's one of oppression, starvation wages, mass firings, blacklisting, union busting and enormous corporate greed." Pentagon officials admit to doing business with the company, but they say they found no evidence of poor working conditions when a delegation visited the Chentex plant several weeks ago. "We do business with them;· said Capt Eric Hilliard, public affairs officer for the' Army and Air Force Exchange Service.

Poorest countries get poorer WASHINGTON (AP) - Global economic activity is accelerating at record levels but many of the world's poorest countries are hurt by trade barriers the United States and other wealthy nations impose on their exports, the World Bank said Tuesday. While the oudook for .continued economic growth is good, th~ report said, sharp changes in oil prices remain a major uncertainty as does whether the U.S. economy contin~es to expand or crashes to a hard landing. Fragility of financial systems in East Asia also is a concern, the bank said. Global Economic Prospects and the Developing Countries 2001, the bank's annual update on these nations, said their economic growth is expected to register 5.3 percent in 2000, 5 percent in 2001 and ease to 4.8 percent in 2002. The report warns that many of the world's poorest nations, especially those torn by conflict in Africa, are not keeping pace. "What this report erpphasizes convincingly is that prospects for growth are better than they have been in around 30 years ," said Nick Stern, the World Bank's chief economist.

That's what one could've said Tuesday night . On the renownec\ stage basketball court at Oak Hill High School, River Valley defeated the Oaks, 58-37. There would be no curt:ain call for the Oak· Hill in a game that was never in doubt as River Valley jumped out to a 152 lead at the end of the first quarter. "We knew that (Oak Hill) had a young, inexperienced team," said River Valley head coach Gene Layton. "We knew that they were weak at the guard positions. We felt like if we could come out and put a lot of pressure on them right fmm the start . Maybe force some turnovt;rs. Get ir in an up-tempo game, it would be to our advantage. We felt in the first quarter we were able to do that ." Six different Raiders scored in the opening quarter. On the night, 10 different players scored for River Valley. It w.s one of those games where almost everyone got their hand on the ball for the Raiders. " I think that will be important to us down the road Iacer on in the season.'' said Layton on the playing time of several of his players. Among the Raiders scoring attac k , junior DJ.

Children say music, family and sports keeps them from drugs WASHINGTON (AP) Asked what keeps them away from illicit drugs, more than 25,000 children replied : music , family and sports. Music was the No. 1 factor, followed by family and football, the government said Tuesdav. · . Afte-r that can1~ friendship, dancing, "me," basketball, computers, soccer and biking. The responses - ranging from a single word to a photograph to expressions in art. music or poc:try - were colle c ted as part of a four--month youth marketing o mp.1i gn for childr<n ages 9 to I 7 th.\t \\'as funded by Congress. Spilling their hearts through the Int ern et Jnd postcards, many of the duldren ust·d phrases such .1s "my whole ou tlook" .1mi ··confidence," "sclf--L·stccm," '' my life," " my dreams" anJ "sdf-n·'\pecr" for w.uitm g to stay drug-free . One -child revealed that lm "dad ehed because of drugs ." Another recalled how 'l my brother ruined his life ;md our family be ct use of drugs." The campaign, wh1ch began Sept. 1, is being oversee n by Barry McCaffrey, director of the White House Officl' of N.nional Drug Control Policy. It is slated to end early next month. Among the ads featured: a television commercial titled "Dancing," in which children talk about their love of dance and how it motivates them to kee p from experimenting with drugs. One of the most encouraging trends for parents, M cCaffrey noted, is that young people who are at an age when it mtght seem trendy to buck authority seem to be listening to their elders more than anyone thought. . "The words and actions of parents, or other adult influencers, ;tre mbre effe (: tive · than they may think in keeping th eir children away from drugs," he said in a statement. M cCaffrey also pointed to a 1999 survey by the Department of Health and Hum an Serv ices showing that 72 percent of 12 - to 17-year-olds have n eve r u se d 11licit drugs .

Lawsuit filed against dothier WASHINGTON (AP) - A Nicaraguan garmellt factory that supplies discount!!d clothing to Americ:m soldiers imposes SW('Jtshop conditions ;md st:lrvation wages on its workt·rs, a lawSuit fikd Tu~o.·s­ day contends. The lawsuit, filed by labor-rights attorneys in U.S. District Court in Los Angcks. seeks punitive danugcs against the Ch,·ntex factory and its Taiwan-based parent, Nien Hsing. It contends Nien Hsing pays workers at the plant less than 20 cents for each pair of blue jeans sewn. The Jeans retail for b!'tween $25 and SJO, but workers rcceiw what amounts to less than 30 cents an hour. · At a Tuesday news conference, a sweatshop watchdog group said the jeans are sold to American military personnel through the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, which supplies servicemen and wotnen. According to the National Labor Committee for Human Rights, the service 1m ported 64 tons of blue jeans made at the Nicaraguan plant last July, August and September alone. "This factory in Nicaragua actually presents the true face of the global economy," said Charles Kernaghan, executive director of the watchdog. "It's one of oppression, starvation wages, mass firings, blacklisting, union busting and enormous corporate greed." Pentagon officials admit to doing business with the company, but they say they found no evidence of poor working conditions when a delegation visited the Chentex plant several weeks ago. "We do business with them;· said Capt Eric Hilliard, public affairs officer for the' Army and Air Force Exchange Service.

Poorest countries get poorer WASHINGTON (AP) - Global economic activity is accelerating at record levels but many of the world's poorest countries are hurt by trade barriers the United States and other wealthy nations impose on their exports, the World Bank said Tuesday. While the oudook for .continued economic growth is good, th~ report said, sharp changes in oil prices remain a major uncertainty as does whether the U.S. economy contin~es to expand or crashes to a hard landing. Fragility of financial systems in East Asia also is a concern, the bank said. Global Economic Prospects and the Developing Countries 2001, the bank's annual update on these nations, said their economic growth is expected to register 5.3 percent in 2000, 5 percent in 2001 and ease to 4.8 percent in 2002. The report warns that many of the world's poorest nations, especially those torn by conflict in Africa, are not keeping pace. "What this report erpphasizes convincingly is that prospects for growth are better than they have been in around 30 years ," said Nick Stern, the World Bank's chief economist.

There would be no curt:ain call for the Oak· Hill in a game that was never in doubt as River Valley jumped out to a 152 lead at the end of the first quarter. "We knew that (Oak Hill) had a young, inexperienced team," said River Valley head coach Gene Layton. "We knew that they were weak at the guard positions. We felt like if we could come out and put a lot of pressure on them right fmm the start . Maybe force some turnovt;rs. Get ir in an up-tempo game, it would be to our advantage. We felt in the first quarter we were able to do that ." Six different Raiders scored in the opening quarter. On the night, 10 different players scored for River Valley. It w.s one of those games where almost everyone got their hand on the ball for the Raiders. " I think that will be important to us down the road Iacer on in the season.'' said Layton on the playing time of several of his players. Among the Raiders scoring attac k , junior DJ.

The campaign, wh1ch began Sept. 1, is being oversee n by Barry McCaffrey, director of the White House Officl' of N.nional Drug Control Policy. It is slated to end early next month.

One of the most encouraging trends for parents, M cCaffrey noted, is that young people who are at an age when it mtght seem trendy to buck authority seem to be listening to their elders more than anyone thought. . "The words and actions of parents, or other adult influencers, ;tre mbre effe (: tive · than they may think in keeping th eir children away from drugs," he said in a statement.

Make certain the bill will be split equally. ARIES (March 21 -April 19) Critical career matters should not be treated in a cavalier fashion today. If you stan coasting, you could lose past gains and never be able to reclaim them again . TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One of your greatest assets is your · ability to assess situations com· passionately. However, today you could be too hard_.nosed to see when kindness is required. GEMINI (May 21 -June 20) Being 100 single-minded could cause a needless misunderstand· ing to arise today between you and a friend over something rather sill y. Correct it immediately or a serious problem can arise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) It'll be 'your own fault if you pul too much stock in' a commitment or promise made to you by someone who disappointed you previously. Rarely do people change habit panerns , LEO (July 23-Aug . 22) Spare a friend's feelings loday by nol allocating work of an artislic nature when you know this person does not have the talent for it.

Put in the plus The younger of the two independently produced English magazines is Bridge Plus, It aims, at the insistence of editor Elena Jeronimidis, at the vast majority of tournament players: those who rarely win a top event, and who play primarily for fun. This problem was supplied by Danny Roth. Against your fourspade contract, West leads the club five. What would you do, given thai lrumps are 3-1? Don't peek at the East-West hands -- in the magazine, they are 45 pages away! North's three spades is a limit raise, showing 10 or II support points with at least four trumps. Ha~ West led away from king· fourth of clubs, or does he have a singleton? It doesn't matter! Win the firs11rick with dummy's ace. draw trumps, cash your diamond ace, play a diamond to dummy's king. and ruff the lasl diamond in hand. Then cast adrift with a heart. The defenders take two tricks in the suit ending with, say, East. If he cashes the club king, you have only one club loser. If East leads a low club, you run it around to dummy 's jack , then play back toward your queen. And if East reiUms a re(l-suil card, you ruff in one hand and discard a club from ·the'other. Note lhat if Wesl had kingfoUJth of clubs, so that it was safe to finesse at trick one, the endplay would slill work. Yet here, if you finesse at trick one, it should go: club king, club ruff, heart to the ace, club ruff, heart king for two · down. A one-year subscription is $65 airmail and $50 surface.

Make certain the bill will be split equally. ARIES (March 21 -April 19) Critical career matters should not be treated in a cavalier fashion today. If you stan coasting, you could lose past gains and never be able to reclaim them again . TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One of your greatest assets is your · ability to assess situations com· passionately. However, today you could be too hard_.nosed to see when kindness is required. GEMINI (May 21 -June 20) Being 100 single-minded could cause a needless misunderstand· ing to arise today between you and a friend over something rather sill y. Correct it immediately or a serious problem can arise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) It'll be 'your own fault if you pul too much stock in' a commitment or promise made to you by someone who disappointed you previously. Rarely do people change habit panerns , LEO (July 23-Aug . 22) Spare a friend's feelings loday by nol allocating work of an artislic nature when you know this person does not have the talent for it.

Put in the plus The younger of the two independently produced English magazines is Bridge Plus, It aims, at the insistence of editor Elena Jeronimidis, at the vast majority of tournament players: those who rarely win a top event, and who play primarily for fun. This problem was supplied by Danny Roth. Against your fourspade contract, West leads the club five. What would you do, given thai lrumps are 3-1? Don't peek at the East-West hands -- in the magazine, they are 45 pages away! North's three spades is a limit raise, showing 10 or II support points with at least four trumps. Ha~ West led away from king· fourth of clubs, or does he have a singleton? It doesn't matter! Win the firs11rick with dummy's ace. draw trumps, cash your diamond ace, play a diamond to dummy's king. and ruff the lasl diamond in hand. Then cast adrift with a heart. The defenders take two tricks in the suit ending with, say, East. If he cashes the club king, you have only one club loser. If East leads a low club, you run it around to dummy 's jack , then play back toward your queen. And if East reiUms a re(l-suil card, you ruff in one hand and discard a club from ·the'other. Note lhat if Wesl had kingfoUJth of clubs, so that it was safe to finesse at trick one, the endplay would slill work. Yet here, if you finesse at trick one, it should go: club king, club ruff, heart to the ace, club ruff, heart king for two · down. A one-year subscription is $65 airmail and $50 surface.
