Dear Ann Landers: Last New
Year's Eve, my 15-year-old daughter
had a party for her friends, under my
supe'l'ision, of course. At midnight,
while I was busy passing out soft
drinks and food , I IUmed around to
see ")ohn ," my 40-year-old
boyfriend, kissing one of my daugh. ter's 16-year-uld friends.- This was
no ordinary peck on the cheek. The
kiss was on the lips, and John's
hands were planted firmly on her
behind. The girl's arni s were
~pped around hi s neck.

NATO steps up air offensive on Serb ground forces

·HEBRON, Ky. (AP) :...,. Wrecking crews are demolishing a piece of history .at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport: the tower
from which flights were directed for almost 30 years.
The old control tower was taken out of service a year ago when a new
tower began operating. Demolition began Monday on the old tower, which
survived powerful winds that blew out its windows in 1986.
The 120-foot tower stood unfinished for months during its construction
in 1969. But then-U.S. Transportation Secretary John Volpe visited
Cincinnati, saw the project and demanded that it be completed, despite a
purported shortage of money for technical equipment.
'The towei was put· into service less than six months later.
The airP.,rt's flight control operations were switched in March.l998 to

J3ut another year passed before a contractor began at least two weeks
of demolition work Monday. A $25 million headquarters building for
Comair Inc., a Cincinnati-based commuter airline, is·planned for the site.
A Federal Aviation Administration manager who was on duty when
winds of at least 75 mph smashed the windows in March 19811 recalled the
frightening eKperience Monday.
A half-dozen employees had begun evacuating the tower because airport instruments had warned of the wind's approach. The tower's air traffic control duties already had been
transferred to an Indianapolis cen1er. But the gale hit before everyone

Sentinel Newa Staff
Moving the county title office ·from the Meigs
County Courthouse was one topic discussed dur-ing Monday afternoon's regular me4;ting of the
Meig~~ County Board of Commissioners.
Larry Spencer, clerk of couf!S, briefly dis·
cussed moving the county title office from the
courthouse into the County Government Anne~
(formerly the Meig~~ County Home).
Spencer said he does not favor moving the
office, but said increasing demands for the limited space available . in the courthouse are making
t~e move necessary.
.
'
He wants to use the current title office to house
records and a microfilm . machine for the legal
department.
.
Spencer said the move will have to be made by
Oct. 16, the date on which upgrades !0 the state
computer system must be completed.
During ·a meeting with County Engineer
Robert Eason, the board accepted bituminous
paving material bids from Asphalt Materials Inc.,
Marietta, and Middleport Terminal Co., Gallipolis, asphaltic concrete bids from Shelly Materials,
Racine, and United Asphalt Corp., Thornville,
and aggregate bids from Shelly Materials, Racine,
for April with suppliers to be selected at the county engineer's discretion. .
.
Eason also presented the board with a copy of
the highway department's annual report which
. includes the agencies five-year plan of paving all

office move cons1dered .

coupty roads. .
Currently, all but approximately 15 of the 200pi Uti miles on the county system are paved, it was
noled.
.
In addition, Eason said bids for the replacement of the Hobson Bridge spanning Leading
Creek in Middleport would be awarded May 12
wl'!h. construction of the new bridge to be finished
w thin 270 days of that date. He also said the
highway department has completed redecking a
Slllall span on a creek crossing on Zuspan Hollow
Road near Middleport; a project requested by the
board of commissioners. Commissioners Janet
Howard and Mick Davenport, along with ProseCtjling Attorney John R. Lentes, thanked Eason
for the department's assistance.
Engineer Robert Eason said he could not recommend a three-way traffic stop at the junction of
Forest Run and Minersville Hill roads in Sutton
Township.
Eason eKplained the Ohio traffic manual calls
for multiway stops only where the traffic on the
intersected roads is approximately equal. Traffic
op Forest Run Road is approximately twi ce that
using Minersville Hill Road.
'
The traffic count on Forest Run Road was 810
vehicles at a point just east of Minersville Hill
Road and 744 vehicles just west of Minersville
Hill · Road. Counts were taken on March 23 and
March 22, respectively, over an eight-hour perjod.
T)le traffi c count on MinersviUe Hill Road, near
the intersection of Forest Run Rciad, was 375

vehiCles during an eighl·hour period on ·March
24.
·
The manual also suggests a multiway stop
where there is ·a sight clearance problem and.a bad
traffic accident problem. In checking wiih the
county sheriff's office office, we find that there
have been no accidents at this intersection in the
past t;.o years; according to Eason.'
To alleviate a problem with high-speed traffic
past the nearby Forest Run United Methodist
Church, he recommended the church obtain a
flashing "church" sign that could be controlled by
the congregation as needed.
Making a three-way stop at the junction would
likely result in more accidents, he said.
•
Commissioners also met with Jean Trussell ,
county housing director, and approved Multicon
of Jackson, with Michael Stroth, president, as
rehabili'tation consultant.for the county's current
Community Housing Improvement Project at a
cost 9f $52,052. The company's bid was the only
bid received.
Commissioners approved a request by Robert
Byer, director of Meigs County Emergency Ser·
vices, to sell a 1982 ambulance formerly used by
the Middleport EMS squad.
Byer also presented the board with a letter
from the Local Emergency Planning Committee
supporting construction of a new U.S. Route 33
from Athens to Da!Win.

By GERALDA MILLER
.Associated Press Writer
OSSEO, Mich. (AP) - For' the
second time in four months, a deadly
explosion rocked a Hillsdale County

north of the Ohio border, Sheriff Stan
Burchard! said.
A charred wall was all that was left
of a small building that exploded just
100 yards from the structure destroyed
in the December blast that killed seven
employees.
several cars near the site were also
damaged, Burchard! said.
"This one's not ncar the explosive

blast as the previous one, but same
deadly result,:• said Ken Hersha with
the Michigan State Police Fire Ma'rshal Division, one of first oflicil\ls to
reach the scene.
The bodies of two men and two
women were found at the scene Moft·
day, Burchard! said. Company owner
Robert Slayton was found alive, but
died at Kalamazoo's Bronson Hospithl

:
The 'other four victims have not
beeo identified, and Burchard! would
not amfirm if they were employe~.
He said dental and medical records
would be needed to confirm lhc'ir
identifications.
Donald Dunning Jr. told the Detroit

Small towns on Y2K: What, me ·worry? Meigs EMS logs 14

LEBANON (AP) - Electric
' power plants in some of Ohio's
small towns may have big-time protection against the Y2K bug.
Many of the systems that operate
those plants aren't of recent vintage,
making them unlikely to be susceptible to computer problems.
Mike Hyland, director of engineering for the American Public
Power Association, said being small
and low-tech has its advantages. '
"Small towns didn 't just jump on
the information highway right'
away," Hyland said. "They didn 't
replace diesel with gas-fired units
that have solid-state controls.
Because they have old diesel units,
they don't have Y2K problems. "
Many small towns in Ohio have
citizen-owned power stations that
can supply some or all of their resi dents with power should the national power grid stumble when the year
. 2000 begins.

·:.:uconn beats Duke 77~74, wins NCAA men's championship
.

By KEN BERGER
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Now everyone knows what Jim
Calhoun knew all along. Connecticut
· had nothing to fear.
lt was apparent in the UConn
coach's eyes as he walked on the
· court for his first national championship game. lt was proved beyond
all doubt when Ricky Moore did
· . what most great players need the ball
: to do.
" I wanted to shock the world,"
· •said Moore, whose defenSive stop on
Trajan Langdon in the fmal seconds
gave Calhoun and the Huskies the
' national title with a stunni ng 77-74
&lt;Vic tory over Duke.
lt was the moment Calhoun and
· . his fanner and current players have
been thirsting for all these years. It
• was the upset that al most no one
· , believed could happen.
Everyone except Calhoun and his
supremely confident players seemed
to bchGve the game was a mere prelude to the Blue Dev il s' coronation
as one of the best college teams ever
: Instead, H was UConn (34-2). a team
touched by trage dy and chased by
memori es of shots and games that
. .,..went against them too many· li mes
]ate in March.
No more.
"The kids knew better," sa td
Calh oun , who fi nall y got the pri ze
he's chased fo r 27 years " They
knew they were goi ng to win. They
. we re goi ng to beat the best, and they
dtd beat the best. As of tlu s moment ,
" ,we' re the bes t team in the country."
Ca lhoun can fin ally say th at

because he had a pudgy li ttle point
guard with no shame in his game, the
most tenacious defender in America
and the perfec t game plan to beat the
team .everyone. thought wa~ invincible.
'T m no better a coach than I was
three weeks ago, and no worse,"
Cal houn said. "Everybody thought I
had to do somethi ng. I didn ' t ~ave to
do anything. All I had to do was be
true 10 my kids and coach th e best I
coul d and that's what I've do ne."
UConn could finall y ce lebrate
when Khalid EI-Amm dribbled past
Elton Brand for a daring jump shot tn
the fi nal mi nute, and Moore forced
Langdon to trav.el with 5.4 seconds
left .
Rtchard Hamilton, the most outst anding player of the Fi nal Four,
capped a tremendous tourn ament
with 27 points, and Moore added 13
poin ts . UConn 's tireless defense
double-teamed Brand, the player of
the year, every time he touched the
ball . Brand had 15 poi nts and 13
rebounds, but never got a chance to
take over the game.
"They were JUS! fighung every
possession every time I touched 11,"
Brand said .
For Duke and coac h Mike
Krzyzcwski , all the talk about their
place in hi story - on To b a~co Road
and across the land - must be put on
hold The Blue Devils (37-2) saw
their, 32- gamc winnin g streak
stopped, thelf domin ance shaken,
thetr chance for a lhlfd nat10nal
champwn shtp thi s decade crushed .
"I have a hard time being sad. I' m

sorry," Coach K said on the interview podium, moments after congratulating Calhoun down the hall.
" I don't coach for winning. I coach
for relationships . I've got the best. "
Calhoun has some, too . Tucked in
his breast pocket was a photo of his
first grandchild, born four days
before fa nner team manager Joe
McGinn died of kidney disease at 26.
The Huskies left a single' strand of
net hangi ng from the basket in
McGi nn 's honor.
Many of the key figures from
Calhoun 's past tournament nightmares were right there in the stands
to see tlhis victory, including the
biggest nemesis of all, Christian
Laettner.
And some of Calhoun's best
friends in the world, players like Ray
Allen and Scou Burrell who toiled
wi thout the ultimate satisfaction of a
Fmal Four, were on hand, too.
Everyone saw the ghost of
Laettner chased ri ght out of UConn
history.
" I've been privileged to pl ay two
of the greatest basketball games, "
Calhoun satd. " In the othe1 one, in
1990, Chri sttan Laettner made that
shot. "
Laettner beat UConn with a
bun e r-beater on an inbounds play in
the 1990 reg ional fin al. Duke also
knocked UConn out ol the tourn ament in the Sweet 16 in 199 1
This time. Moore made certain
that Langdon didn 't eve n get to
a11empt the game- winning shot.
Langdon, who had 25 points, got
the ball after El-Amin missed a turn -

'

around jumper with less than a
mi nute left and Connecticut leadmg
75-74. Duke didn' t call a timeout.
Dri bbling betwee n his legs before
spinn inll and dri ving on Moore •.
Langdon got his feel tangled and
trave led . It was the ultimate showdown to culmiryate a great decade of
basketball for two of the country's
top programs.
EI-Amm was fou led and hit two
free throws, and UConn did what
few thought was possible.
"I heard Coach K tell Trajan to go
get the ball," satd Moore, who won
the championship duel with hi s boyhood frie nd from Augusta, Ga., Duke
point guard W111iam Avery. "I felt if
he got it, he wasn't gomg to do. anything wtlh it. It was crunch time. It
was me against him. They tried to
clear it out, but I stay ed solid, I
stayed down I did n't go for any
pump-fakes .
"Fortun ately, he traveled."
Krzyze wsk t satd he wouldn ' t
want the game to end with the ball in
anyo ne else's hand s Th e onl y regret
was, unli ke Lae ttner, Langdon never
got to take the game-wmm ng shot.
"Absolutely, I want Traja n
Langdon to take that shot, wm or
lose with Trajan Langdon,"
Krzyzcwski said. " I wi ll walk dow n
any road w1th TraJan Langdon."
In a touchmg moment in the hall way at Tropica na Field, Krzy1.ew ski
co ngratul ated Calhoun on hiS first
title.
"Jim , you have a great team , and
it was a great game," Krzyzewski
smd. " I' m so proud, and I know yo u

are. I'm so proud of the way yo~ words from another coach, and not
the olher way around.

Eastern 's baseball team possesses
. .strengths at this point in the season
: • .such as overall team speed and team
·. ·attitude. Some questi on marks
remain.
'
Coach Scott Wolfe added,"With
· limited outdoor practices and indoor
practices, it's hard to say what other
· strengths we have. Everyone looks
good in the gym. I do believe we will
be improved hitters and stron ger in
the infield. We just hope to improve
with every game."
Another asset is addition of foot ball coach Scou Christman as baseball strength coach.

Wolfe added, "Last year some
players couldn't hit it out of the
infield. Those same layers this year
are hilling it with authority. I think
our weight tramm g will eventually
lead us to success. If not this year,
then somewhere down the road. We
have a corps of dedicated kids who
have lifted weights and practiced
three and a half to four hours a day
during the preseason. Tho~e who
have worked hard ave rocketed
ahead of some of the others."
Weakne sses include the team 's
youth and inexperience.
Wolfe is not a stranger to the
game putting in nine seasons wtth

the Eagles previously from 19821990. During that span, Wolfe accumulated a 113-64 record , mcluding
two di strict championsh1ps and two
league champmnsh1ps 1n 1986 ( 20~4 )
and 1987 (26-2).
The Eagles had been coached the
previous five years by Dan Thomas.
Wolfe assisted last year. Wolfe said ,

"Dan Thomas is a gond baseball mim
and a great fri end. I hated to see him
go. With no fi eld to practice or play
on last season, 11 made for temblc
circumstances to try to play baseball ,
let alone win or fo r the kids to get
their lessons.There's no pl ace like
home. "
In closing Wolfe said , "It's impor-

tant for everyone to stay out all year
long. Strength comes in numbers. We
have a reserve team for the fi rst time
in several years. Every pl ayer is
im port ant to our program This is the
group that will eve ntuall y ttirn it
around. We al so need to
, get all of our ktds in sum mer programs Nothing beats experience."

Wolfe thinks the league wtll ' be
very strong this year, say ing, "The
Ohio Di vision is goin g to be loaded.
Trimble will be the team to beat in
the Hockin g. They've gone to ihe
regionals the past two years and lhe
have Brady Trace back S o uth~rn
also has a strong tradition; they will
contend by season's end. The rest of

Readers tell Ann to ·rethink advice on teenage lesbian friendship

Dear Ann Landers: I am concerned about the advi~ you gave
•"Befuddled.'' the teenager who was
·' l!fraid her girlfriend, "Lottie," might
.he a lesbian because she slept in the
JlYde when they shared a bed.
- · You told her to continue the
: f!iendship but not to accept any
-f.m'ore invitations to sleep over. Your
response left me with a sinking feelfj1g . When friends are uneasy about
·..something like this, it is not OK to
·•ignore it. Also, a friendship that is
not based on trust can be hollow at

Men and women have been mis-. u'nderstanding each other for generations- probably since the beginning
llf time.
·
· •· According to Marilyn Sachs,
!Oxtension Agent In Williams Coun!y, numerous research articles and
books have been written on tbe sub. ject, with all of them drawing the

Girls and women are seen as submissive, dependent and subjective.
In general, men talk to give information or to report. They talk about
things - busi ness, sports and food rather than people. They convey
facts, not details. They are goal -oriented. They focus on solving problems and are less likely to ask for
help or directions. Men compete.
Women, on the other hand, talk to
get information and to connect or to
gain rapport. They talk about people
rather than things. They convey feel ings and details. They are relationship oriented. They are quicker to
ask for and accept help or direction s.
Women cooperate.
These differences can create conflict between the sexes socially, pro-.
fessionally and intimately. The
advice most frequently given is for
men and women to understand and
respect their differences and si milariti es.
We all belong to the same human
race with the same fears, desires and
needs . Our survival depends on our
willingness to understand and to be
understood.

DAR revisits the one~room schoolhouse
'There are still people around who do good deeds.
I knew that but sometimes.we do forget, do n't we?
Dr. Wilma Mansfield reminded me that it's true.
Recently, problems developed at Eastern High School when a faculty member who was scheduled to provide piano accompaniment for
students at the district music contest in Athens became ill with ihe flu .
It appeared that the teacher might recuperate in time to make the contest. However, things got no better so the teacher on a Friday, the day
before the contest, had to lay the problem on the line-just wasn't
going to be able to make the trip.
•
It was pretty disappointing since students do put in a considerable
amount of time and effort in preparing for the event. As a parent of a
student involved, Dr. Mansfield ponder~d on what might be done to
"save the day". She knew that it would be a problem to get a replacement who would have to face all of the new mu sic and would not
have had the experience in working with the students on the music.
Dr. Mansfield gave Jennifer Sheets a telephone call and ri:lated the
details of the situati on. Jennifer picked up the ball and went out. to
Eastern on Friday evening and worked se veral hours with the students
who were going to the contest. She met them at 8 o'clock the next
morning in Athens and accompanied the students so they could take
part 'in the competition and all went well.
Knowing Jennifer, sh,e must have had a half dozen other activities
she could have done in lieu of helping the students. But the talented
Jennifer apparently shoved those things to the side and proceeded to
• . give the students a helping hand. How like her. I'm sure the students,
• . . parents and fa culty at Eastern are delighted that Jennifer put forth so
much effort to :'do a good deed".
I probably should have known why the antique busi ness of Bobbie
Karr in Pomeroy is called Hartwell House- but I didn 't unti l a few
. days ago. May be you' ve wondered too.
It seems that in the early 190Q's, the Hartwell Mining Co., occ u. pied the building which now houses the antique business. The struc• ture is at the corner of Court and Main Streets and many of us remember in later years it housed the Blue and Grey and was the bus station
and later it became a shoe store. Bobbie recently came. into posses, sion .of a large shipping crate which was used by the mining company and has the name of the company inscribed on the side. It is now
on display at the antique store. I believe she was able to secure it
through Mrs. Ruth Moore. Incidentally, Bobbie reports that the
Hartwell Mining Co. is still alive and well.
And besides housing many, many interesting antiques , Hartwell
House also has a supply of the "Jelly Belly", the original gourmet
jelly bean on hand. The Jelly Bellies come in 39 flavors. As I recall
that was the brand that was so popular at the White House during the
Reagan years. Head and shoulders above your run of the mill jelly
beans, the Jelly Belly is more expensive than the ordinary-and considerably more tasty.

We ' ve almost wrapped up March and· now comes April to unfold
Easter, a time change and the income lax deadline. Do keep smiling.

. Kendra Marie Norri s, daughter of
·Mr. and Mrs. Gary P. Norris of
Racine, is one of 42 Otterbein Coi· Jege students to he named in the
1999 edition of Who's Who Among
Students in American Universities
and Colleges.
Students are nominated by campus committees. Editors of the annual directory have included the na!Des

of these students based on their academic achievement', service to the
community, leadership in extracurricular activities and potential for
continued success.
Norris, a 1995 graduate of Southem Local High School, is a senior at
Otterbein majoring in biochemistry/molecular biology.

Estivaun Hutchinson Mallhews,
Gallipolis, a member of the French
Colony Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, was guest
speaker at the recent Charter Day
meeting of the Return Jonathan
Meigs Chapter, DAR.
Manbews rev isited the one room
sc hool house which, she said, i$ too
much a part of America to be forgotten because its lessons live on in the
words of those who learned as children and grew up to mold the nation.
The co-author of "Gallia County
One Rooin Schools - The Cradle
Years'.' said that Galli a County had a
total of 164 one room schools with
many of them existing prior to 1880,
some of which still exist in one form
or another.
Some are empty and remain in
tact, some were being used for storage, others were , being used for
town ship government buildings,
church buildings, or being used by
Granges to hold their meetings.
Some school buildings, she added,
have been remodeled and serve as
homes.
The early one room school was
usually built on the highest hill in
the area and near a church if one
existed in the area. In the 1880's,
Matthews said, Gallia County had
15 town ships and each township
averaged from 9 to 15 publi'c school
buildings in order to provide a
school within walking di stance of
most students.
The speaker said that in the early
schools, all eight grades were taught
. in one room where emphasis was on
the basics of reading, spelling, writing, math, English, geography, history and health. The older children
helped teach the younger ones who
also learned from listening to the
older grades recite their le ssons
aloud. There were no hot lunch programs, she added, with everyone
bringing a lunch from home , often
packed in a three-pound lard bucket.
She noted that the school board
paid the teacher from $40 to $60 a
month. The school board, she said, .
wo~ld furnish a water bucket, dipper, broom, stove, chalk and some
coal. Often the teacher had to build
the fire each morning; however, she
said, sometimes, for . a dollar a
month, one of the older boys would
build the morning fire.
·
Water often had to be carried
from neighboring farms. The pot
bellied stove, Matthews recall~d.
was an important fixture in the one
room school house. It stood in the
middle of the floor with desks lined
on both sides of the building with
students sitting two to a double desk.
The brass school .bell is another
symbol of schools of yesteryear and

Before classes began, students
would say the Lord's prayer, salute
the flag and have a song. Often the
Bible was read. The-'Gallia County
School Board, in early years, made
Bible reading mandatory in the
schools. However, Matthews said,
that was discontinued in 1923.

interview with an old timer, boys

caught by the school master, they
carved a peephole in the wall. This
way, the old timer said, an approaching tattle tale or the school master
could be spotted and the cud of
tobacco thrown away.
One room school houses were
often used for community activities,
including pie socials and spelling
bees. Spelling bees were popular not
only with students but also with parents and other adults. Also, she said,
there was usually a program given
on the last day by the children for
the parents. This program would be
followed by a basket dinner which
would be enjoyed by parents, students and neighbors.

COLUMBUS (AP) - A special
investigator will question U.S. Sen.
George Voinovich today about allega·lions the former governor approved a
scheme to launder campaign money.
Dayton attorney Roger J. Makley, a
Democrat appointed by the Ohio Eleclions Commission in December, was to
question Voinovich in Columbus today,
said Mike Daw5on, a spokesman for the
senator.
The inquiry into the matter was supposed to be finished today, but Makley
will a.sk the seven-member elections
commission for more time, Phil
Richter, the commission's executive
director, said today.
He said he did not know how much
more time Makley would need.
During an appearance today in
Columbus, Voinovich declined to com·
ment about the investigation.
Voinovich, a Republican from
Cleveland who was Ohio's goVernor·
from 1!1!11 to 1998, was elected to the

U.S. Senate in November.
He'ttas been accused of approving a
plan to use a middleman to conceal the
source of $60,000 transferred from his
campaign treasury to his· brother, Paul
Voinovich, and a Statehouse lobbyist
during a 1994 re-election effort.
If found guilty, the senator could be
fined $10,000.
George Voinovich, in a four-page
affidavit filed with the elections commission Dec. 4, strenuously denied any
role in the alleged scheme.
Makl ey has interviewed · Paul
Voino-;ich 'and · vincent Panichi, who .
was Voinovich's campaign treasurer,
In a deposition filed with the elec·
tions committee, Panichi described a .
1994 meeting he said he attended wiih
the Voinoviches.
The Voinovich brothers have denied
such a meeting took place.
Pani chi said the governor approved
a plan to use a now-c)eceased political
fund-raiser as a middleman to funnel

the $60,000 to _Paul Voinovich and
Statehouse lobby1st Mtchael A. Fabt·
ano.
The money was reimbursement for
payments they made to Anthony A.
Gallagher, a former Cleveland labor
official, for working on Voinovich 's
campaign, according to records filed
with the commission.
Donald C. Brey, Panichi 's Columbus
attorney, said Panichi.'s story of what
occurred was unchanged.
R-oger Synenberg, a Cleveland
lawyer representing Paul Voinovich,
said his client's account to Makley was
unchanged from the sworn statement he
gave to the commission.
" You don't change the truth,"
Synenberg said. " The truth is the
truth."
David J. Young, a Columbus attorney representing Sen. Voinovich, said
the "investigating team is proceeding
with caution and trying to get all the
facts before going public."
