Ohio, to~ot.oom. --- Guest column State of the State By REP. JOHN CAREY One of the important events in the Ohio Legislature is the State of the State address given by the Governor. I was generally pleased with Governor Taft's speech and initiatives. His speech addressed education, tax deductions and health services to help the poor and elderly. · · Governor will present his budget request on March 15th. He has prioii.tized e~ucation funding above all other state functions. More than $13 billion will be spent on primary and secondary education over the next two years. " This is the largest amount ever spent 0 n schools !n a biennial budget. Taft proposes to spend the entire surplus from the 1998-1999 biennium on school buildings imd technology. . · I heartily support this initiative which will continue to help Ohio catch up with its school building and technology needs. We all know that money alone will not sol"e all of our education problems. The Ohio Reads program will recruit 20,000 volunteers to help children learn how to read. · The Governor also proposes merit grants for schools that show improvement in meeting education standards. Governor Taft also called upon the Legislature to work with him to provide more home care for senior citizens and respite care for Alzheimer patients. He proposes to provide Health insurance coverage for more children of the working poor. · · The state's chief executive in his State of the State called for a $500 income credit for adoptions, and increase to $23,000 income for homestead exemption to be indexed and an income tax deduction for taxpayers who pay 100 percent of their health insurance premiums. · He also called for income tax deductions for those with excessive medical costs, college tuitions costs and for those who purchased q_ualified long terin care insurance premiums. Overall, l was impressed with Governor Taft's speech. I was especially pleased with his initiative to use any surplus for the year for school buildings and technology. l wish the Governor would have mentioned the unemployment problems we face in Appalachia, but he did cite several economic development incentives that will help. I can assure you that I will continue to raise jobs as an issue in Columbus. If you would like to have a copy of Governor Taft's speech, you may request one by writing me at 77 South High Street, 13th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43266. Rep.

Letter to the edito.r 1 Time to know the truth' Sunday, -.arch 14, 111111 Early lead isn't always agood sign By WALTER R. MEARS AP Spacial Correspondent 825' Third Avenue, Glllllpolla, Ohio 74G 44~2342 • Fo:: 44&-3008 111 .C ourt Str..t, Pomeroy, Ohio 7~·21511 • Fax: 902-2157 WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans have sent early campaign lead~rs to their presidential nominations more often than Democrats have, front-runner lore that points to the rewards and risks awaiting initial favorites. For the 2000 campaign, that means Texas Gov. George W. BLISh a.nd Vice President AI Go.rc. As Gore observed in discounting polls that rate both Bush and Elizabeth Dole ahead of him in a final cxmtest for the White House, the 1999 surveys are predictions too far in advance to foretell the next election. " Polls will not determine the outcome in any . way," Gore told CNN. "Ideas will." And money. In that crucial competition, the early polls do help leaders draw donors. There have been six open contests, without incumbe11ts running; for Republican nominations sine~ 1960, and in four of them, the leaders in the early polls won the nomination. In six open Democratic campaigns, the pre-season front-runner won only once. · The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press tracked the pattern. Two early Democratic leaders chose not to run, Mario Cuomo in )992, and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in the i 976 competition. President Ointon and former President Carter won those nominations. Among others, in both parties, there are lessons that could apply this time. The fall of sen. Edmund s. Muskie in 1972, for example, He was the towering early favorite, · after a winning performance in a losi ng campaign for vice president. Muskie reaped Democratic endorsements, campaigned in a style tailored to an obvious winner · who didn't want to risk blunders, and made them as soon as the real competition began. His lead vanished and so did his chances. It was said at the time that his support had been as broad as it was shallow. Sen. George McG0vem won that nomination. Or Gov. George Romney of Michigan, the earl !.est leader among GOP candidates for 1968. He'd just swept to re-election by a landslide. He had gained broad support among minority voiers, including 30 percent of the black . vote, unmatched for a Republican in that era. The presidential preferen~ polls reflected it; for six months, he was rated a likely winner over President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. He stumbled ·as a national campaigner, lacking the organization and ·adroitness of Richard M. Nixon, who quickly displaced him as the leading entry. Romney was out of it before the first primary. Gov. Bush has the early advantages of both. He's been endorsed for the 2000 nomination by more than half the 31 Republican governors, and by more than 80 Republicans in Congress. Party leaders have been coming to him in Austin; he's campaigning at home through the spring, saying he won 'ttrivel nationally until the Texas Legislature adjourns. Mrs. Dole is his closest rival in the early polls, with the rest of a nine-man field trailing them. She opened ·in Des Moines, Iowa, presenting herself as a nonpolitician - ·although she has been in government longer than the others, and campaigned nationally for her husband, Bob Dole, the 1996 GOP nominee. "I'm not a politician, and frankly, I think that's a plus today, " she said. Although she did mention in passing that she's been in all 99 counties of Iowa, where the first contest of 2000 will be held. • In contrast to the crowded GOP field, there are only two Democrats running, Gore; with former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey campaigning to overtake him. "My guess is it will remain a twoperson race, which will. be an interesting dynamic," he said. The Pew survey notes that Gore~s poll standing is not unlike that of Vice President George Bush 12 years ago, when he was rated behind the leading Democratic prospects. They faltered, and he won. Gore is viewed favorably by 58 percent of Americans now, a solid rating but not as good as Bush's at this point in 1987. All those numbers add up only to a guessing game. But they also show what can happen to candidates who look like sure winners this far in advance . "Polls are simply predictions of the future," Gore said, although pollsters call them snapshots of the present. Either way, they can change overnight when the real competition begins. " And you know the old saying that six months . is a lifetime in politics," the vice president said . E;DITOR'S NOTE - Wllter R.

When faced with evidence of a relative's death, "very few people will ' irrefutably deny be's dead," Doug Fisher, supervisor of BWC fraud investigators in northeast Ohio, said with a chuckle. . One investigator called a man who would have been 87 and reported back, "He doesn 't sound 87 to me." A young relative was cashing the check. The most glaring fraud Fisber has seen came when a man who would have been over 100 was summoned to the BWC office. "When he comes into our office, he was maybe 30," Fisher said. · Because of mailbox access, family members often are the ones C¥hing a deceased relative's check. But neighbors get their share, too. Neighbors cashed twice-monthly $462 cbecks mailed to John Poorman of Cleveland, who had suffered a back injury and died April 28, 1997. Trying to check on Poorman. an investigator reached a son-in-law in Cambridge who said, "Honey, he's been dead for over a year now." s·ometimes investigators are tipped off by other relatives or by people who overhear boasting.

In the past few years, letter after letter has condemned two trustees and the clerk of the township. Th~e letters have been either from Trustee John DeLi lie or from uniformed citizens that trusted Mr.. DeLille; or, from a small select group of friends. There are numerous distortions that have been refuted by the State Auditor's Office. Due to Mr. DeLille's claims our township has had to pay for a special audit which cost the citizens of the township thousands of dollars. (The township came up with an excellent report in 1998). There was no stealing of $80,000 by the two other trustees and the clerk as Mr. DeLi lie claimed. There was never a CD for $80,000 in the first place, so how could it be stolen? (fhis is public record.) Is Mr. DeLille not doing his .job as a trustee by wasting his time and traveling throughout the township and other places telling that he is the only good township official and. all the others are troublemakers?

'(, '·'· .. t ,. ..••-· •' I By DONNA TOUMELLEO A11ocl..ed Press Writer Geno Auriemma, who can be a tough guy to please, had few words of praise this week as he prepared top-seeded Connecticut for , the Huskies' lith straight appearance in the NCAA women's tournament. Practices were spotty. The plbyers were unfocused. His list was long. That all changed Friday night . when the Huskies - playing in the Mideast Regional on their home floor in Storrs. dominated 16th-seeded St. Francis, Pa. It seems UConn did everything right in the 97-46 win. The Red Flash simply couldn ' t match up with the stronger, faster and taller Huskies. ''I'd be nitpicking if I found something wrong with tonight 's men's tournament... game," Auriemma said. "I like the attitude we brought into the game. We were serious. Sometimes we' re giddy in games like this. We we re serious, and I liked that." It was no laughing matter for the Red Flash. The Northeast Conference champs are 0-4 the NCAA tourney. UConn (2~- 4) won the national title -in 1995. The disparities were evident from the ·opening tip. UConn smothered the Red Flash with pressure defense and a speedy transition game. Connecticut took control with an early 19-2 run, fueled by 10 points from Shea Ralph and five from Svetlana Abrosimova. The Huskies shot 63 percent froni the field and held St. Francis ( 18- 12) to 17 percent en route to a 59-20 halftime lead. Paige Sauer had 13 points and II rebounds tn a dozen minutes. At 6foot-5, she towered over the smaller St. Francis squad . " You don't get .that in our leag ue, " said l en DeFiltppo of the Red Flash. " It 's really physical and wears you down." . Connecticut outrebounded the Red Flash 57-24. Abros imova, Ralph and Amy Duran had 13 points apiece for Connecticut. .---------;:; Jess Zinoble led St. Francis with 22 poiQts. Xavier85 Florida International 71 In the other game in Storrs, Nicole Levandusky scored 23 points and Taru Tuukkanen added I 9 for Xavier. r· Tuukkanen scored 15 points in the first half when Xavier (24-8) shot 64 percent from the floor. Dalma Ivanyi led the Golden Panthers (23-7) with 23 poi nts. EAST . At Norfolk, Va. Maine 60, Stanford 58 · Martina Tinklova made two free throws with 16.7 seconds remaining. and Maine won for the first lime in five trips to the tournament.

MIDEAST At Clemson, S.C. 1Uino15 69, Louisville 67 , Tauja Catchings' driving basket with 1.7 seconds left proved decisive for seventh-seeded Illinois.

Mary Ellen Withrow, United States treasurer, was the guest speaker. Withrow is the first person to have held the post of treasurer at all thfee levels of government- local •. state and national. She was elected treasurer of her native Marion County, Ohio in 1976 and 1980. She was elected as Ohio State treasurer in 1982, 1986, and 1990. In 1994, she was sworn into office as the 40th treasurer of the United States and is responsible for the operations of both the U. S. Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Mrs. Donald S. Blair, honorary !'resident General and an· Ohio Daughter, presented a message. Mrs. linda Wetzel.

Honored guests were Aida Thomas Register, State Regent of Florida, Jane Thompson Mouthrop , State Regent of Michigan, Ruth Spaar Cavallaro, State Regent Clf New Jersey,and Barbara Taylor, National Chainnan of Commemorative Events. At the DAR School luncheon on Saturday, winners of the American History · Month essay contest, the DAR Good Citizens state winners . and the Ohio DAR Scholarship win·ners were presented. At . the afternoon session, Mrs. Peggy Newkirk, Worthington Chapter, discussed the proposed plans to move the Ohio State libniry from its . . I present location in Columbus to transfer the building to the Supreme Court of Ohio for office splice. The DAR, in 1931, donated many books to this library genealogy section. The theme of their collection is "Gateway to Ohio" and emphasizes the states from which Ohioans may have migrated, and is the only place in central" Ohio where such research may be done. In addition, this building houses state and federal records. It is proposed that the Ohio State library holdings he placed in storage until a suitable facility can be procured. Mrs. Newkirk recommended that members be aware of these plans and if agreeable, to write their Ohio Senators and Representatives and Gov. Robert Taft, to voice their concerns about this planned change. This library is used by citizens across the state. lnfonnational packets are being distributed to all Ohio "DAR ·Chapters.

Townspeople too nice for company FROSTBURG, Md. (AP)- People in western Maryland are apparently too nice to be telemarketers. Unite! Corp., which helps busi nesses sell things over the telephone, said Friday it is moving about 100 jobs from this small town to Florida in hopes of finding more aggressive salespeople. "The culture and the climate in western Maryland is one of helping your neighbor and being empathetic and those sorts of things," Unite! · vice president Ken Carmichael said. Frostburg, about 150 miles west of Baltimore, is a town of 8,100 in sparsely populated Allegany County where thousands of manufacturing and coal mining jobs have disap- ' peared. Telemarketing has been a new source of jobs. But the friendly nature of the townsfolk is getting in the way. "If you get someone that's busy or whatever, you have to try to make your sale," Unite! worker Gay Winterstine said. "Sometimes that's hard, like if you can hear a child crying in the background and you still have to try to overcome and make your sale." Mayor John Bambacus is not too displeased. "We would rather be ni ce than aggressive," he said. "Frostburg is ·not the Bronx. We pride ourselves on being a very neighborly community." "God Is In Control" And since we ' re on the ca ncer topic, let me remind you that a meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m . Tuesday at the Pomeroy Public Library to make plans for the annual relay for life walk which benefits the local cancer society.
