Page 12 • The Dally Sentinel Friday, March 26, 19H Pomeroy • Mlddlepqr1, Ohio Middleport Literary Club reviews 'Wind River' "Wind River" by Gary McCanhy, a story of the early days of Utah, was reviewed by JoAnn Wildman at a recent meeting of the Middleport Literary Club held at the home of Sara Owen in Pomeroy. According to the reviewer, this is a Western novel about two extraordinary-sisters struggling to survive in a wild and untamed land. The land was Utah at a time when there were few settlers. and most oftbem were Mormons. The teenaged sisters fought to achie ve their dreams, although they had to overcome many obstacles, As Wildman pointed out, their determination to sur· vive and achieve their dreams in spite of the difficulties they faced was what made the novel so interesting. One sister. who dreamed of becoming a doctor, was forced into a polygamous marriage in the Mormon community. Mrs. Wildman posed the question: "How will she escape and purs ue her dream?'' The other sister had a dream of becoming the first woman shee p rancher in the area. "Could she ?" As Wildman related events in this fast paced , intriguing story, her listeners di scovered the answers to these questi Ons and · learned about the history of this ·part of the United States. Although these were fictional characters, Wildman noted that one bore a strong resemblance 10, a woman known as the Sheep Queen of Wyoming. The other sister was depicted as being involved with the struggle for women's rights, and this was his· torically accurate. The pictures of early Mormon ·life and the issues rai sed by the practi ce of polygamy are a)so histori cal. As she concl uded, Wildman pointed out that through the tri· als and struggles of these two fictional characters we catch a glimpse of our country 's hi story and the struggle for women's rights. She also stressed that this story helps us see that every age has unusuai persons who have a vision and drive, and future gen· erations benefit from their ambition. Members responded to roll call with facts about Utah and with their own recollections of visits.there. President Jeanne Bowen conducted the meeting and wei· corned former member Sister Fideles Bell who was visiting. as well as Mrs. James Diehl who has been unable to anend for some time.

"It's almost like a snowbali effect," · said ·Lee Ann Rogers,• a spokeswoman for the Educ.ation Department. "A lot of small glitches that are suddenly becoming one big problem." She said the department's priority is to make sure children can take the test fairly. As that happens, the agency is looking for ways to prevent problems from hap~ning next year. The state's largest school districts are having a variety of problems with proficiency tests, including blank pages, incorrect answer sheets and' late shipments, the Akron Bea· con Journal reported on Friday. Flaws have been identified with the fourth-, sixth· and ninth·grade tests and with all five paris of the exams: reading, writing, math, citizenship and science, the newspaper said. Sometimes, students had to wait hours or up to a week while problems were sorted out. In Cleveland, tests that were late to arrive had to be distributed over a weekend to administrators' homes, the newspa· ~r said. . Sunday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower and mid 60s.

The Beacon Journal talked to administrators at the state 's eight largest districts and found that Cincinnati was the only one that did not have problems. The other districts were Akron, Cleveland, Can· ton, Columbus, Day1on, Toledo and Youngstown. Concerns about the ninth·grade writing test emerged earlier this year after questions on the lest were published before everyone had taken it. The fourth· and sixth-grade writing tests were invalidated earlier this month after questions were published. Another problem previously reported included multiple choice questions with possible answers listed as A, B, D and D. In January, Ohio will issue report cards about districts, part of a process to determine whether they should be taken over by the state because of poor student performance. Ellen Goggins, Akron's director of testing, is concerned beJause the report cards will be based at least partially on the proficiency test. "And we know it's not valid," she said. The Education Department does not believe at this point that the test problems will make the report cards invalid, R,pgers .said. Gov.

ROBERT L WINGETT Publisher LArry Ewing Managing Editor · Diane Hill Controller Guest column Custer would have :loved this plan By Sen. Mike Shoemak., VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! That si mple phrase can best be used to help recall some of the most familiar headlines of 1999. The national champi· onship football team claimed the term "Volunteer" to describe their mascot ·while a convicted killer was granted his death wish using the same nick· name. Ohio' s new governor has now called for 20,000 volunteers to help teach our youngster,; to read. Perhaps it's a good time to slow down and thank thousands of our neighbor.; for countless volunteer hour of service lhey provide in our local communities. :· • Webster defines a volunteer as one who gives themselves for a service or :· a duty. More than 140,000 member.; of Ohio's PTO's work in and with our ·:schools every day. From·tunchroom monitors to spaghetti dinner chefs, they :;spend their ovin time and often their own money to help young people have -a greater learning opportunity in a better learning environment. Playground ·. eq uipment pops up like mushrooms, athletic uniforms glisten brightly and : jjbrary books load the shelves, thanks to the unselfish efforts of these vol· : ·onteer.;. . · • If government could muster its resources, as do hundreds of athletic, ·• music, drama, art, (etc., etc.) booster clubs throughout the state, we would· : :n't worry about quality control programs or human resource retreats to :·.ensure efficient use of tax dollars. Someone always seems to rise to the occa· ::Sion with the right supplies, skills or equipment tQ perform modern day mir· . :;.cles on a shoestring budget. The only pay they seek is a thank you from :-: grateful youngster.;. (A compliment from a visiting rival school also works : wonders!) Now I realize that I've .dug a deep hole by only citing a few volunteer : examples. To list all those deserving recognition would take a mini-series : ralher than shorl col urn it. Red Cross, Cancer Sociely, public libraries, vet· -erans' organizalions, fire departments, little leagues, churches and syna· gogues, block watches, crisis center, hospitals, and many other.; could give endless lists of their supportive volunteer.; who deserve to stand up and take · a bow. But what about state government? As was mentioned earlier an ambitious volunteer program for reading is now being pr"posed. I have no doubt about the potential positive impact this endeavor can have on our kids. However, as is usually the case we've tried to complicate the recipe. Legislators have accepted an administrative proposal to spend $5 million to operate a $30 million program. $1 of every $7 will be used for administration. Two thou· sand volunteer coordinator.; will be paid $2000 per year to direct and train 20,000 volunteer.; who will work for free. A state director will be hired (cer· tainly not on a volunteer basis!) To me it seems like "too many chie(s and not enough Indians." For the sake of our kids I hope I'm wron·g, but General Custer would have loved this plan. · Mike Shoemaker reprHenta the 17th Dletrlet In the Ohio Senate. a • Letter to the editor State Auditor's report In the letter to the editor appearing in the March 21, 1999 Sunday Times· Sentinel, Mr, Jack Camden an ex-Springfield Twp.

" J March 28, 101111 Sund•y, March 28, 101111 Sometimes it just doeSn't work By WALTER R. MEARS AP Special Corraapondent WASHINGTON (AP)- When the issues get toughest, the habit in Congress and the White House is 10 hand them off to commissions, special panels that are Supposed to bridge political differ· ences and come up with answer.; both sides can buy. Sometimes it works. Not now. Not on Medicare, which could be broke in less lhan a (!ecade without an overhaul or new fund · ing, or both. Afier a year on the case, a bipartisan commis· sion on the future of Medicare couldn't agree on a recommend ation, and President Clinton rebuffed a proposal from its. majority. That puts the future of the government health care system for senior Americans back into the political mix, and it may stay there, unresolved, until after the next election. Republicans suspect that is what the Democrats want, since they have used Medicare to advantage in past campaigns, and could try it again in 2000, in lhe contest for the White House and for the six-seat gain it would to capture con·. trol of the House. The Democrats' well-reheao;ed theme is that Republicans want to use money best earmarked for Medicare and Social Security for tax cuts instead; the GOP retort is thai the surplus budget can afford both, and that they are more reliable reformers. That's where it all stood before the commission got its delayed start on the problem, after a political hassle over who would run it. . The White House wanted a Demo· crat, and got one, Sen. John Breaux of Louisiana. The plan Breaux shepherded to approval by I 0 commission members, one short of the super-majority required to make it a formal recom· mendation, wasn't to Clinton's liking. Breaux, a Clinton ally, had a hard time getting the president even to talk about the proposal. Breaux and his commission partner, Republican Rep. Bill Thomas of California, recommended thai Medicare be transformed into a sys· tern more like private health insur· ance, with the govemmenrproviding allowances beneficiaries would use to buy their own coverage. · That's like the system that covers federal employees, ·and Congress. c "I got the s he · 11 h ·h h h ,., · " . sen e s was rea y aP.PY wu t e way . er toe was gomg, sa~d Molly Miller, an AEP paralegal.

In February 1999, in an apparent compromise, the council preliminarily agreed to alter the seal's design by substituting the words "In God We Trust" for the cross. An open book, supposedly repre· senting the Bible, would remain in the background behind lhe quote. So .the cross continues to be an offense today. What irony that the plan of God to redeem humanity would produce such hostility in the hearts of those intended to be helped. Part of this irony is that God the Father receives approval, but his method of using Jesus to die for our sins and provide forgiveness is so hated. The problem is in the details. The idea that man in his current state is unfit to enter heaven, that he must die to self and receive Jesus' offer and become a new creation is a revul· sion to our ego. That places God's ways above our ways. He , then, is not the one who winks at our' wrongs like a doting grandfather. Being "cruci fied with Christ" is an offense to our concepl of the status of man . Doing some good works would be a lot more in line with our idea of the way things ought to be. If the good outweighed the bad, then that should be satisfactory. So often feelin~ tend to trump reality. Feeling good may be based upon false information and produce false hopes. How things are now is no indication of how they will be later. Feelings are important, but a more stable foundation Insures a · more satisfactory life experience for us all. Our Great Designer knows us, knows our needs and how we are assembled. The cross rep- · resents His love for us. Because of the cross our "old man" can become a new creation. That is why we can call it "Good Friday"!

Clinton reaffirmed his determina· lion to "defuse a powder keg at the heart of Europe." Serbs claim NATO plane shot down " BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) - NATO expanded its air assault on Yugoslavia on Saturday, ordering its forces to attack tanks, artillery and troops in Kosovo, where alleged Serb atrocities raised new alarm about the ·fate of ethnic Albanians. . Air raid alarms sounded across Yugoslavia in the fourth straight day of attacks, and Belgrade's air raid alert center said enemy planes were in the skies and had struck military targets in the suburbs of Rakovica and Zemun. It appealed ~or calm, saying only military sites were being targeted. Serbian television reported early Sunday that a NATO plane had been shot down. Footage sholl!ed flames rising from a tangled wreck bearing English-language markings, including the words "Air Combat Command." ; "I cannot confirm it," a NATO spokesman in Brussels, Belgium, said. The Pentagon refused to comment. • Earlier, NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana said the stepped up assault, which he said had the approval of every government in the alliance, was needed "to bring a halt to violence in Kosovo and prevent further humanitarian catastrophe." Skies cleared after more than a day of heavy rain over NATO'sAviano air base near the Italian Alps, and by dusk Saturday fighter jets were screaming off the 'runway every few seconds. Tomahawk missiles were fired from U.S, $hips. . After the Serb anti-aircraft defense systems have been compromised, the allies might... "Our military operation has been under way for several nights now. In this time, Serb troops have oontinuedattacks on unarmed men, women and children," Clinton said in his weekly radio address. "This is all the more reason for us to stay the course. We must, and we will, continue until Serbia's leader, Slobodan Miloscvic, acrepts peace or we have serious] y damaged his capacity to make war." Shortly after Clinton spoke, NJITO began a fourth day of strikes as a Navy-launched Tomahawk cruise missile slammed into the vicinity of Belgrade, a senior alliance official. A senior U.S. defense official said the strikes, expected to intensi· fy after dark in Yugoslavia, would shift to some extent toward targets in the Kosovo province, where Serb forces have been conducting operations against the ethnic Albanian population.

Gehrig and Ruth,- all of them." Bennett Park, mainly a covered grandstand with some "wildcat" bleachers in the outfield behind the wall, was the stadium's forerunner. Hundreds of fans crammed into bleachers erected across the street. They were only slightly deterred by cloth drapes hung behind the outfield wail as a visual impediment. By 1911 ,' team owner Frank Navin razed the old stands and built a new facility. Navin Fjeld opened to a 6-5 Detroit victory before a crowd of 24,384 onApril 20, 19 12. Also opening that day was Fenway Park in Boston - which next year will be alone as the oldeststadium. The openi ng of Navin Fie ld should have been a front-page story, but the sinking of the Titanic ftvc · days earlier was still hot news. In 1923, the ori ginal stands were do uble -decked . Walte r 0 . Bri ggs took over the club after Navin d ted. and added a second level to the bleachers and the right-fi eld pavtho n in 1936. In 1938, Cherry Street, tile north ern boundary, was closed. enablin g another expansion that esse ntiall y enclosed the park. It was renamed Briggs Stadium, held 53,000 and looked pretty much as it does today. Except for its tradem ark green seats. They were ripped out in 1980, and replaced with the blue and orange plastic seats that now make the place look like Howard Johnson's. The girders, the fences - anything that had been green- were covered with blue p;Unt. Nobody seems to know exactly why. The feeling at the time was that maybe some felt blue - the color inside Yankee Stadium looked classier. · J ohn Fetzer became the Tigers ' owner in 1961 , and chan ged the name to Tiger Stadium .

(AP) Jason Kendall is on the brink of pos· sQJie majoc league baseball history, and he didn't even know it. : <:atchers are asked to call pitches, seitle down pitchers, direct the defense, but one thmg they do not do JS;lead off. • Jason Kendall does. : Kendall will begm the season as tlfl: Ptttsburgh Pirates' leadoff httter a~d. about mid-May, likely will become the first catcher to lead off more than 32 times in a season _Since 1970, Jeff Newman (32) aQd Butch Wynegar (3 1) are the only catchers to lead off more than 30 !lines m a season. Before that, catcher,; Jed off about as often as they steal bases. Oops Jason Kendall does that, too, settmg an NL record for a catcher with 26 steals last season He also Jed the maJOrs by bemg hK by pitches 31,times last seaso n Aild his .327 average was the h1ghest bj any Pirates pl ayer m a non-strike season since Dave Parker hll 334 m 1978. Kendall was n't aware_unttl Fnday th~t so few catchers have led off. He sugges ts it is a reflection of the c ~angm g times of a sport in which catchers long ago shed the1r 1mages aS: roly-poly heavyweights who Jove to:hit and love to eat. " Nowadays, you' ve got to be in shape wtth all the we~ghthftmg , the nutritional supplements, everybody in the game is stronger and laster," he slud Friday. "h's no differen t for a c~c her. They're ta~mg the labels off catchers that were on them for a lo ng tune. " · Last season, Kendall batted secand or third, so movmg up to first doesn 't seem hke all that b1g a deal . He may be called on to steal bases more than before. but he already stole much more than the average catcher. "I honestly thmk he doesn't care where he bats," manager Gene Lamont satd. Kendall's answer: " I honestly don 't. I'm still gomg to hit the same · way I did before. lfl get a 2-0 or 3-1 fastball, I'm swinging. I'm not taking the pitch . I'm not changing my approach. " Something is working thi s sprmg. His on-base percentage IS nearly .500, far better than the .319 of Tony Womac k, the Pirates' leadoff hitter lost season _ ·"The only time I notiCe IS it is the bottom of the f1rst, and I've got to hurry to get my (catcher's) stuff off so I can lead off," Kendall sa~ d " I've got to be careful because you've got to hurry, but you don 't want to rush too much and give an at- bat away. " He certainl y hasn't 1n hiS fi rst three seasons 10 the maJors, hatting 300 as a rookie in 1996.. 294 m 1997 and .327. He made the All-Star game in 1996 and- 1998 and, if he played in a b1gger med1a market and h1t a few more home runs. would be a star on the level of a M1kc P1azza. Kendall 's reaction: He has worked out wnh P1azza dunng the offseason and has seen how the New York Mcts' catcher has sac rif1ced his privacy In Ptttsburgh. th e fans leave Kendall alone if he is grocery shoppmg or restaurant hoppmg. He mostly frequents the same places, and the management tries to guard his privacy. "I don't want to play anywhere else," said Kendall, who has been oflered a $20 million, three-year extension of a contract that runs through 200 1. " I don't see me changing organizations. l ltke where I am Mike Piazza? I feel for him. Tiger Woods? He can't go anywhere. In Pittsburgh, I can be myself." Even 1f he ISn't hke any other catcher. .

The World Series champion New York Yankees seem even stronger with Roger Clemens. And the gap between the haves and hav.e-nots is jetting even wider. Could Baseball 1999 really be a repeal, and then some, of the most remarkable year in memory? : "Anything's possible," Big Mac said. · "He's ready, I'm ready," Siammin' Sammy added. But before anyone takes aim at 80 homers remember, no one thought 70 was possible- let's just hope everyone stays healthy. Because it sure has been a· scary spring. Joe Torre, Andres Galarraga and Mike Lowell were diagnosed with cancer. Kerry Wood, Moises Alou, Carlos Hernandez, Matt Morris and Paul · Wilson were severely injured. And Kerry Ligtenberg, Gary DiSarcina and Nomar Garciaparra also got burt. · "You think about all the wonderful things that happened in baseball last year - McGwire and Sosa, Kerry Woo~ having his great rookie y~ar and Joe Torre winning 114 sames with the Yankees - and you wonder if things are trying to bal~ce .out now with a lot of bad things," Houston manager Larry Dierker said. Still, there's a lot to get excited about.. Opening day in Mexico, the AllStar game at Fen way Park. Tony Gwynn, Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken closing in on 3,000 hits.

"There is so much history in thai place," Sparky Anderson said of Tiger Stadium, which opened on April 20, 1912, the same day Fen way debuted. "It went all the way back to basically when Cobb played; Gehrig and Ruth, all of them. If the fans will only try, they -'ll see them." It all starts Sunday night, April 4, when the NL champion San Diego Padres face the Colorado Roclcies and their new manager, Jim Leyland, in Monterrey, Mexico. Baseball might really go global in the new millennium. The 2000 opener could be played in Japan, featuring Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez and the Seattle Mariners. , On April 5, an intriguing matchup at Dodger Stadium features top free agents: New Los Angeles manager Davey Johnson sends $105 million man Kevin Brown against Arizona ace Randy Johnson. Not everyone will watch that game with enthusiasm, however. Right after Brown signed his sevenyear deal that made him the sport's first $100 million man, some claimed the disparity between bigand small-market teams was out of whack. "I don't mean to criticize Kevin Brown, but it's~ truly tragic day for. baseball ," San Diego Padres owner John Moores said after losing his best pitcher. That same night, the home run race startS all over again.

That panieular GAR was fairly new, it having been organized in the IS~Os . Most ofthe GAR chapters in Gallia County were formed in the 1880s , with some like Lincoln · growmg out of the great Soldiers' Reunion held in Gallipolis . in · 1888. · This reunion which lasted almost a week brought here thousands of Civil War veterans from .over !50 different unils represent- ing 17 states. Probably at no other time in the history of Gallipolis were there so many parades in one week. . One of the great treats at the Lincoln GAR gatherings was to hear Uncle Joe Walter sing the following songs: "The Star Spangled Banner," "Marching Through Georgia," and "Rally Round the Flag Boys." There were about 25 members in .the Lincoln GAR in 1891. All ofthem were receiving pensions ra.nging from $4 a month, to $24 per month . Uncle Joe was also a breeder and racer of Hamiltonian horses. One oft he goals of the GAR was to campaign for benefits to Civil War veterans. We note a sarcastic remark in the Lincoln weekly qews from the Gallipolis Journal of the late 1880's: "Inquiries are being made by the famer and veteran as to where the good times are that were promised if Cleveland were elected. Anyone having information concerning same will please write L.D. Clarke (one of the organizers of the GAR Hall in Lincoln)."· There were some in the country that thought the veterans' pensions wefe too exces.sive. Some of the other news in Lincoln in 1891 included: Prof. Peter Robens started a scbool near Lincoln to teach boys how to play the drum.< . Mr. Roberts was the leader of the Peter Cave Sheepskin Band of Gallia County. V.J. Jllida was the Lincoln e<pen on the Jew's Harp. Lincoln had its own dentist, R.A. Howell. There was a broom factory in town and a hotel. There were several small coal mines near Lincoln . In February, 1891 it was reponed that the Harri son Township coa l mines were in full blast, but even then they could not meet all fhe demands for coal that people had. There was a small drug store run by John Stuart and Dr. Brown . The latter was also·the area doctor. E.E. Clark· was the Gallia County agent for the Mammoth Churn Company. He had an office in Lincoln. A barbershop owned by two women was begun in Lincol n in 1891.' The two pioneer barbers were Mollie Tope and Carrie Carter. There were two men in the area that were persimmon dealers. They bought persimmons off of area farmers and sold them in large towns. Persimmons were somewhat of a fad in the 1890s. The school at Lincoln had to be closed for a large· part of early 1891 on account of measles. Even the POMEROY- The third annual Civil War Memorial Day cere- · monies will be held at the Meigs County .Courthouse on May 22, 11 a.m. at the Civil' War statue. Plans for the observance· were made at a recent meeting of Brooks-Grant Camp 7, · Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. The tentative speakers for the day will be noted local historian Rev. James Hanna of Oak Hill . Civil War-period music and a Civil War firing squad will be a part of the ceremonies which will be open to the public. A canopy will be available in case of rain . ' Plans were also made for the ·second annual commemorative ceremonies at the upcoming reenactment of the Baule of Buffingion Island . The Ohio Department has approved support of the ceremonies hosted by Brooks-Granr Camp. The speaker has not yet been determined . • All historical, veterans, patriotic, and Civil War groups are invite\! to participate by placing a wr~ath at the monument, according to Keith Ashley of Pomeroy w.ho may be contacted for more information. · The camp had a moment of • silence for the death bf camp member Fred Crenshaw of Suitland, M.D. Crenshaw had been pursuing t~e listing of four black Civil War soldjers of Meigs County· on the listing of the Black Uniori Soldiers ' Monument in Washington. His family has asked the camp to continue to pursue this. Congressman Ted Strickland has been very h~lpful in this project, it was reported. · James Oiler reported that he and Ashley panieipated in the Feb. 12 rally at ·the Ohio Statehouse for preservation of the 'Buffington Island Battlefield .

According to the Lincoln correspondent: "The measles, Ia grippe, and typhoid fever have almost finished their courses in our vici nity, being followed by spring fever which strikes the boys very forcibly, especially W.L. Niday who .has to walk several miles each morning to hi s school. " · There were also l 0 cases of searlet fever in Lincoln that winter and spring. It is surprising how many people from Lincoln traveled to the big cities, even to the East Coast. In April of 1891 Tom Eachus left for South America to work as a gauc ho. Among the socia l clubs in Lincoln in 1891 was one called the "Happy Ten." It was composed of 10 men who met to eat and tell .only humorous stories. Some people in the com munity though started the rumor that the "Happy Ten" was some subversive group that was plotting how to organize their. own political party. Vossie Northrup was the literary e. pen in · Lincoln that year. There was a rumor that she was writing a book on "pantology."

See you really can depend o n the P?Stal s~rvicc and using the service is so much easier than depending on ol d "Wings". "Wing s" co uld .. only carry a brief note and I do n' t mean to tell tale s_o~t of ~ school but you may as well know that when she came down here she was hanging out quite a bit with some of the . pigeon s on top of the co urthou se dome. That's a wild bunch . No wonder her delive ries to .us were so slow. I am really surprised that you mentioned Uncle Hershel in your lette~. Even the menti on. of his name was such a "no. no " for years. Apparently, you have come to closure on • the marriage and it' s hi gh tim e. You were always so tolerant . of him . I rem ember how yo u used to smile sweetly when he would say that he was looking fo r a new model. I'm sure you thought he was referring to cars . However, unfortu ·nately, you found out what he really meant when he ran . away with Belva, the Blo nde Bombshell , never to return home . Belva and he r big pancakes certainly made the d.iner a fun place to hang out. • • However, 1 wi II never ceas.d to be surprised that Belva actually flew the coop with Uncle He rshel. I don't mean to hurt your feelings or reflect on your taste , but let 's face it ,. : he certainly wasn't a Mel Gib so n. ' In fact , he wa~n't even a • Hoot Gibso n. I know you never really liked Belva primar· • ily. because she wore tho se v1vid ostrich feather boas with • her waitress uniforms : 1 rem e mber you used ro' comment: • " It just ain't fittin "'. Well , apparent ly, it wa s fitt.in' for Belva . I do reca ll that I ne ve r th oug ht yo u and Uncle Hers hel had very much in common , but on the other hand he did buy you all of those shoes and that made you quite happy. Thanks to Uncle Hershel you had s hoe s of e very color and design and the higher th e hee ls the better you liked them even though I did notice you wobbling a bit on occasion I recall asking you one time if you Wouldn't like to have the money that Uncle Hershel spent on all those shoes and you answered : ' "Heck no , Honey. I' d like more shoes". Imelda Marcos had nothing on you, Aunt Maude . Funny that when Uncle Hershel "disappeared" so did all of those shoes. I've often wondered what you did with them .

Researchers define syndrome that often precedes Alzheimer's . . CHICAGO (AP) - Researchers . have found a way to identify some people at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, a discovery that takes on added significance as scientists attempt to find a way to delay the· onset of the devastating disease. A study published in the March issue of the Archives of Neurology defined ways to diagnose people with mild Alzheimer's and mild cognitive impairment, a condition that often precedes Alzheimer's. · Researchers Jed liy Ronald C. Petersen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., gave participants a battery of neuropsychological· tests, then assessed the results of each one and diagnosed the patients as being healthy, having mild cognitive impairment or suffering from mild Alzheimer 's. They then followed the progress of the subjects - 76 with mild cognitive impairment, I 06 with mild Alzheimer's and 234 healthy control subjects - over seven years. Petersen said mild cognitive impairment was already a recognized syndrome, but the researchers developed . m~re rigorous guidelines for diagnosing it, based on a battery of neuropsychological tests: In a telephone interview from Washington, where he announced both the results of the study and the start of a new one, Petersen said mild cognitive impairment is the diagnosis when memory. problems are severe enough to interfere with the lives of people who otherwise are functioning normally. People with this impairment, researchers found, develop Alzheimer's at a rate of about I 2 percent a year, meaning nearly 50 percent of a group diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment will develop Alzheimer's within fou< years, he said. The researchers said the nonnal population develops Alzheimer 's at a rate of about I percent a year. There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but scientists are studying whether certain treatments. if .used early enough in the progression of the dis- up the chain of pathological events ' ease, can delay its onset significantly. · that le.ads to Alzheimer's disease," "This is the first step in backing said Bill Thiese. · We feature Aaavue Soft Bifocal Coataet Ia•ll!d F0cu1 Torlc Soft Coalllct LenNI for Attipaalilllil at only 544.96 per six pd: • Frames starting at S18 • Single Vision Lenles u low as $20 • (Eye eJIQI/f andflttingfoes not included) Vision exams for all AD ·typeS of contact ICIIIIIS fitted Dii8JIOsiS and tteallllent of eye diR&Ses · ase• · '"''"· Miebelle & Duaae Deeds Independeat Optometrists .

According to the new definition by the American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR), an individual is considered to have mental retardation based on the following three criteria: intellectual functioning level (IQ) is below 70-75; significant limitations exist in two or more adaptive skill areas; and the condition is present from childh'ood (defined as age 18 or Jess) (AAMR, 1992). What are the adaptive skills essential for daily functioning? Adaptive skill areas are those daily living skills needed to live, work and play in the community. The new definition includes ten adaptive skills: communication, self-care,' home living, social skills, leisure, health and Sll-{ety, self-direction, functional academics, community use and work.

But this beautifully made film knows when to speak in hushed tones. Even for young viewers, it should prove disturbing, but not traumatizing. " I think the child has to be old enough to have some frame of reference," Rogers said, "and to be able to ask co herent questions. about the film afterward." Especially for kids, the Holocaust can seem too horrible to be true : "But I think taking the journey with a contemporary teen and seeing it through her eyes makes it real, makes it understandable for young people," said Rogers, who, supplementi ng her producer's role, appears in a cameo as Hannah's mother. Hannah is played by Kirsten Dunst, the 16-year-old actress whose previous films include "Little Women" and " Wag the Dog." " I had read the book before," Kirsten said .

There she finds a renewed sense of family, while encountering the horrors of her family's past.

GALLIPOLIS - In an earlier anicle, I discussed the issue of family investing. Consider why you invest in the first place. In the broadest .terms, most people will say they invest for their families. These following concerns are among the important family issues to '\(!dress. Estate Planning- Estate planning isn't just for the elderly, infirm or the rich. If both you and your spouse die without a will, for instance, the state will appoint a guardian for your minor children. The person selected may not be someo~e you would have chosen. If you think you're not wealthy enough to have an estate, consider that the federal government taxes estates valued at more than $600,000. Try adding up the current market value of your house, your investments, savingS, pensions and any life insurance policies. : The total, much to your surprise, could put your assets well into the range of estates subject to taxa!ion. Proper estate planning might lower the tax and enable you to pass on more to your heirs. Dale-of·retlrement Issues - Should you take what seems a generous one-time pension payout at retirement? Or is it more prudent to let your assets keep growing? Don't let gut instinct guide your decision. Your finanCia! adviser can run an analysis that will let you comP.Bre the financial· and tax eonsequences of each option available to you for. handling pension or IRA distributions. Heath-care planning- The total cost of full~time, in-home health.care averages $50,000 annually, according to Financial Strategies Corp. of New York, and little, if any, of that cost is covered by Medicare. At what age should you start buying insurance to meet these potential costs? And what are the pros and cons of the various long-term eare plans available? Helping your children -As they finish college and begin establishing themselves in careers, your children may look to you for assistance. Especially forJhose who had children later in life, these pressures may come just as retirement looms. And as you begin thinking about your estate, you may find it nlakes sense lo involve your children in the planning. Parents' senerosity io their children brings a tremendous transfer of wealth between the generations. Parents need to ask, though, if simply writing a check is the best or only way to help. Are there ways to minimize the tax on gifts? If you're concerned about your children's ability to manage the money you hope to pass on, are there ways to provide built-in investment guidance? Helping your parents - Custodial issues such as powers of attorney, stock powers and living trusts should be addressed. If a parent becomes incapacitated, who will make financial and medical decisions on his or her behalf? A parent may·want to name people other than an adult son or daughter. Still, the son or daughter should be aware of who will fill these ·roles . Financial issues surrounding catastrophic care and nursing-home expenses are important. It's not always necessary for parents to deplete their assets befor" a third pany will assist with these expenses. But what are the alternatives?. What about Medicare, Social Security and other federal programs? The only certainly is change when it comes to government programs for the elderly. Your parents may not hav~ the resources or the good health to educate themselves as well as they need to, and you may not have the time to shoulder the burden yourself. How can you keep up with all the changes that might affect your parent's medical or Social Security benefits? Where to turn for help- These family financial issues are not always easy to deal with; however, they are imponant. Wbile the .d ecisions involve can and ought to involve attorneys, tax advisers and insurance professiomils, a good pl~ce to start is with your financial adviser.

BYRNES . GALLIPOLIS - What fenilizer analysis are you going to use in your tobacco float system this year? The answer is critical to the success of your tobacco transplants. When selecting a float system fenilizer, remember to focus on these two char.acteristics: the nutrient analysis and the forms of nitrogen present. This decision is wonh yciur time and money. Stan the selectio!l process by studying the fenilizer analysis. The all)ounts of nitrogen and potash (the first and third numbers presented) should be nearly the same, or almost a 1: I ratio. The percent phosphorus (the middle number) should be 112 to 1/4 of the nitrogen and soluble potash percentages. Therefore, a typical analysis for float systems is 20-10-20 or 15-5-15, or 20-5-20. Secondly, pay dose attention to the forms of nitrogen used in the analysis. The label should list each form of nitrogen contained in the product as well as the amount. There may be several different fonns of nitrogen present in the nitrogen analysis; howe ver. a suitable fertiliz~r for 1obacco floar systems contains · at least 60 percent of its total nitro- gen in the form of nitrate- nitrogen (N03-N) The recommendalions described above are the bullet points of fertilizer selec tion for the lloat systems . Now consider the reasons behind these recommendations. Beginning with the imponance of nutrient ratios, the research shows t~at a 1: 1 ratio of total nitrogen and soluble potash results in balanced root and top growth. This insures adeq uate phosphate for plant development, but also prevents the lush growth that requires frequent clipping. This will result in healthier plants and less labor. requirements. Also, consider the imponance of recognizing the different forms of nitrogen and using ihose with nitrogen that are high in nitrate-nitrogen. Fertilizers · with nitrogen analysis containing high percentages of urea may stunt tobacco and even kill y'oung seedlings. Death and stunting results because nitrogen in the form of urea is convened in the soilless medium to other forms of nitrogen which are lox ic · to the young · seedling s. Another form of nitrogen that may be present on the label in some percentage is ammoniacal-nitrogen EXeCUtiVe at clinic nets . Fellow status GALLIPOLIS- G. Patrick Connors, associate administrator of Holzer Clinic, advanced to Fellow status in the American College of Health Care Executives, an international profe ss ional society representing nearly 30,000 health care executives . The announcement was made at ACHE's 65th annual convocation ceremony, held on March 7 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel , C hicago, duri.ng ACHE's 1999 Congress on Healthcare Management. · Fellow status is the highest level professional achievement in ACHE, and at present, only approximately 2,800 health care executives in the nation have earned this credential. With comprehensive programs in credentialing. education, career , development, publi cations, <esearch and public policy, ACHE works toward it s goal of improving the health statu s o f soc iety by ad~anc in g health care ma nageme.ot-_ excellence. · · Ceremonies in C hi cago marked the 66th anniversary of the orga ~iza­ tjon , founded in 1933 . To attain Fellow status, members must demonstrate their education , experience and leadership in the health care fi eld over a period·of sev- of G. Patrick Connors eral years. They must also complete a significant proJect on a subject related to health care manage ment. In pursuit of the Fellow.ship s.tatus, · Connors conducted an in-depth study of continuing quality improve ment methods used in acute care settings. Conno rs can now use the letters "FACHE " (Fellow of the American College of Hcalth\ care Executives) aft er hi s name in all professional communications, indicating that he is board-ce.n ified in health care management and an ACHE Fellow. SaleS consultant attends event · COOLVILLE - Joy Burdette of Coolville, a sales consultant for The Lo ngaberger Co .. recently attended "Longaberger Across Ameri ca," a oneday netwo rking event held in Greenville, S.C. ;; The event included company updates, new product infonnation. training sessions, recognition and product displays. The event was hosted by the Lo ngabergerhome o ffi ce and the Longaberger Independent Sales Directors. . I (NH4-N). Ammoniacal-nitrogen does not cause a toxic effect on seedlings as urea eventually does. However, it is taken up very ·slowly by the plants, resulting in slow or delayed growth. Remember that it is okay if these forms of nitrogen are included in the product, as long as they represent the other40 percent (or less) of the nitrogen analysis. As previously stated, 60 percent of the nitrogen sho.uld be in the form of nitrate-nitrogen. If the fertilizer label does not indicate the different forms of nitrogen and their percentages, do not ass.ume that it is suitable for tobacco float systems, even if it is advenised as such.

Call ohhe week - On Monday I was asked: "what ever happened to 'the call of the week'?" Traditionally, the call of the week is either the most popular call/question, or the most unusual. At the risk of disappointing "call of the week" readers, the dom inant topic this week was lady beetle frustration. Dr(lg's approval means return for manufacturer CINCINNATI (AP)- Government approval of a new menopause drug means th¥ Duramed Pharmaceutical Inc. can expect a return on the 10 years and $30 million the company invested in development of the syntheuc estrogen replacement. · · . The drug, Cenestin, received approval from the Food and Drug Admm istration on Wednesday. Cincinnllli-liased Duramed, which has speciali zed mostly in making and selling generic equivalent drugs, hopes to begin shipping Cenestin nationwide within three months, Thomas Arrington, chainnan and chief executive officer, said, Thursday. Cenestin aims to treat symptoms of menopause such· as ho t flashes and night sweats. It derives a mix of estrogens from soy and yam plants. "We're extremely optimistic because we have. a product now that offers a choice when conjugated eStrogen is indicated for the control of menopausal symptoms," Arrington said. . ·He declin,ed to reveal Cenestin's price. The product will be avatlable by . . prescription. . Arrington said Duramed hopes to achteve annual sales of more than $ 100 million within 18 months. But there are stiff challenges ahead. Menopausal women already can buy a variety of types of estrogen from pills to patches to creams, natural or synthetic. Tbe to(>-selling brru:'d is WyethAyerst's oral Premarin, a mix of estrogens derived from the unne of preg- nant horses. •. ·· The FDA in 1997 refused Duramed's request to market Ccncstin as a generic equivalent of Premarin because Cenestin lacked the same active ingredient,of Premarin , ·wyeth-Ayers! spokeswoman Audrey Ashby sa id Thursday from her company 's headquarters in Radnor, Pa. Cenestin is not the same product and cannot be substituted for Premarin . · 'd . she sat . Wyeth-Ayerst fought Duramed's effort tp get market approval as a generic equivalent. J>remann has been sold for 56 years and is the most wide ly prescribed drug .in the $ 1.4 btllio~ estrogen-replacement market. Duramed got, an immediate reaction Thursday in trading o n the Nasdaq Stock Market. The FDA approval for Cenesttn as a brand-name product was . announced after the close of business Wednesday, when Duramed's stock closed at $7 per share. By the end of the day, the price wa~ S12.37 1/2, up $5.37 112 fro m the previous day' s close. A total of 22.8 mtllto n shares were traded dunng the day, compared with previous daily peak highs of about 2.5 million shares. Duramedwasfoundedin 1982onLong lsland, N.Y.. andmovedtoCtncm ' nati in 1984. Many estrogens sold also ha ve FDA cenif1cation that they help prevent bone-destroying osteoporosis. Duramed has not fmi shed its research to prove that effect for Cenestin. but plans to seek FDA approv al for nlatcr thiS year. FREE LEASE WINNER- Dale Nibert of Apple Grove, W.Va., Blanda near a John Deere tractor. Tha 50-year v...111n of the agrl· culture Industry was the wlnrier of a free, ofle:yaar JDC (TM) lease for a new John Deere model. His nama was selected at a promotion during the 1998 Ohio Ferm Selene& Review. • Mason County man's lease on new tractor won't cost him a cent-APPLE GROVE, W. Va.~ Dale Niben will have an opponunity to try something he's ·never done in more than 50 years of farming - lease a new tractor. And it isn 'I costing him a ce nt. Niben, of Apple Grove, is one of eight winners around the U.S. who have won a 'free , <;>ne-year JDCTM lease for a new John Deere tractor. His name was selected at the JDCTM Free Lease For A Year Tractor Contest at the 1998 Ohio Farm Science Review. Nibert raises dairy and feeder cattle, and grows corn, soybeans and wheat near the Ohio and Kanawha rivers. He currently farm s about 1,300 acres, with an .e qual amount in pasture and woodland. He has selected a John Deere 8200 Tractor from Carmichael's Farm and Lawn in Bidwell . Although he has farmed for more than a half-century, Nibert sees the current farm economy, ·with high costs arid low commodity prices, as o ne of .the greatest challen ges he 's faced. "But I started out with nothing and my family and I have accumulated land," he says. Nibert has two daughters and· ·a son. All still live in the area. This is the founh year John Deere Credi t has offered the mer>~ Free Lease For A Year Tractor Contest. The program continues in 1999. (ij addition to the Farm Science Review, winners also were selected at the Big Iron Show in North Dakota, the California Farm Show, Fann Progress Show in Indiana, Husker Harvest Days in Nebraska, National Farm Machinery Show in Kentucky, Sunbelt Ag Expo in Georgia, and Texas Farmer-Stockman Show. Niben already owns several John Deere tractors and other pieces of farm equipment. "I thin~ John Deere equipment has been top of the line, as far as I'm con- . cerned," he says. He also makes regular purchases with his Farm Plan Card. "I use Fann Plan for all fTIY. parts purchases," he says. "It's the best bookkeeping system in the country."

The van driver glared at Reiner in his rearview mirror, then stomped on his . brakes again and again. Reiner grabbed his cell phone and dialed the toll-free " How's My Driving?" number on the back of the van. "This driver - I don't know what I did to make him angry - but he kept slamming his brakes in front of me. Jt almost seemed like he 1.11as try ing to get me to rear-end him, " Reiner of Arleta, Calif. told a representative of FleetSafe, a Georgia company that fields unsafe driving calls from motorists nationwide. Now affixed to hundreds of thousands of 18-wheelers and oth~r commercia! vehicles rolling across America, decals that solicit reckless driving complaints can result in reprimands and warni ngs - and sometimes even pink slips for drivers who accumulate complaints. Some companies answer their own complaint calls from motonsts. Others hire firms like FleetSafe or DriverCheck, both in Atlanta.• Safety Alert Network in Metaif.ie, ·La., and DriversAiert in Boca Raton. Fla., to collect the comments and compile incident reports. About a decade old, "How's My Driving"" decals get mixed reviews. . Some truckers and tleet safety ofticials think they ' re a good idea. ''I'm not scared of answering to safety," Dan Hallford, a trucker from Montgomery, Ala., said at· an Interstate 70 truck stop in Frederick, Md. Convinced they make drivers .more safety-conscience, some insur, an_ce companies offer discounted premmms to fleets whose trucks carry the decals. Ftreman's Fund Insurance Co. pays for monitoring 30,000 commercia! vehicles operated by ~ompanies it insures, says Paul Farrell, loss control manager. And it pays off, he said: "Fleets that use the program.hav e 20 percent fewer accidents." · Others are skeptical. "I don 't think it makes the roads any safer. You get too matiy people getting mad at truckers and just calling in," said Wallace Harris of Vernon, Ala., who has been driving trucks for 30 years. " People will call in and I will have no way to defend myself. " · FleetSafe could not disclose what; if anything, happened to the van driver who slammed on his brakes in Fire at refinery sends gasoline futures soaring front of Reiner. · To verify complaints, motorists are quizzed about each incident they report. FleetSafe's call ce~ter asked Reiner: What type of vehicle was it? ("A white van,") Was the weather clear and _dry' ("A little cloudy.") Was trafltc hght or heavy? (" Moderale.")

Ms. Eastman says. "Sometimes you get somebody who has a grudge against a driver and are just calling to get them in trouble." That's the exception, not the rule, says Ken Rees, national sales manager for DriverCheck. He says trucking eompanies tell him that only a "Ninety percent of the incidents are caused by only 10 percent of the drivers," Rees said. "The idea is to pinpoint that small body of folks and change their behavior through counseling and safety programs- before an accident occurs." · More than 90 per~en! of the drivers are never the target of a complaint, says FleetSafe president Rtchard tea.

Welfare rolls in the state have dropped from an all-time high· 748, 7171n March 1992 to 284,482 .last December, the lowest level in Ohio since 1970. The figure has increase slightly to 285,251) during February, but welfare officials say it's too early to determine whether that represents an upward tr~nd. In February, 10,178 cases were closed. Of those, 3,947 were-dropped because they failed to comply with procedures, .said Jon Allen, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Human Services. That could mean I some,one didn't show up for an appointment or they simply got a job that paid more than the benefits and didn't tell the county, he said. The dropped cases also include ·2,J32 in which the recipient didn 't work the required 30 hours each week. The first time that happens, the recipient loses a month's benefits; the third time, up to six months' benefits. . Additionally, 2,024 people were taken off the rolls because they exceeded caps on personal income, which vary from family to family, Allen said. That could mean they got a substantial raise or a better job, he said. As for what has happened to people whq get off welfare, the department is trying to get the money for two studies on the subject. However, Allen said lllat's difficult to gauge because once they leave, they are not likely to stay in touch. ' The new rules are intended to ease recipients -· even the hardest to employ - into the work force, Allen said. "Counties are preaching welfare reform and the message that it's an entitlement anymore .... It's 'What help does someone need to get job?' Maybe someone doesn't even have to come on the (welfare) rolls," Allen said.
