And before taking on the issue of the safe storage of weapons, she wanted to make sure Gov. Bob Taft knew, too. Davidson and Senate President Richard Finan, both Republicans, said Tuesday their chambers would hear similar bills next year that would require gun owners to ta~e steps to keep firearms away from children. Taft, also a Republican, made tile safe storage of firearms part of his juvenile-criJlle package during last year's election campaign. But the Senate passed a juvenilecri me bill in November without the provision am id concerns that conse rvatives could try to attach an amendment that would allow most Ohioans to carry concealed weapons. ''I've shared with him that I think that obv iously there, are people who want an opportunity on the conceal-carry and they ' ll probably take an opportunity when you get a germane bill on the floor," said Davidson, a suburban Columbus Republican . "But we have not discussed that in relationship to the safe storage (bill)." During his successful campaign fqr governor, Taft proposed a law that would require gun owners to secure their weapons or face misdemeanor charges if their child used a gun or ammunition. The penally would have increased to a felony if the child "I've sluJred with him tluJt I think that obviously tflere are people who want an opportunity on the conceal-carry and· they'll probably take an oppor. tunity when you get a gennane bill on the floor. But we have not discussed that in relation· ship to the safe storage (bill)." JoAnn O.VIc!Mn, HoUH aPeuer harmed anyone, including himself. Under legislation Rep. Ann Womer Benjamin, R-Aurora , planned to introduce before the end of the year. the maximum penalty would be a first-degree misde- meanor. Womer Benjamin, chair\yoman of tile House Criminal Justice Committee, said · she agreed to sponsor the bill after meeting with the g,overnor 's staff. Taft spokesman Scott Milburn, however, said the bill was still in the drafting process and the governor wanted to ensure that the language concerning the felony cltarge was in it. The drafl that Taft approved should have included the felony •charge but didn 't, Milburn said. "We ' re going to work with the sponsors to get til is change made," Milburn said. "That is what the governor wants." After learning the governor's position on the felony charge, Womer Benjamin said she was unsure of her next move. "That was not in the draft bill that I reviewed and agreed to sponsor. So I'm still looking at the issue," she said Tuesday night. "I am not entirely comfortable with making the maximum penalty a felony." Rep . Jim Jordan, an Urbana Republican, said he would read Womer Benjamin's bill . then decide whether to offer a concealed weapons amendment. He tried to attach an amendll)enl to a juvenile-records bill in June but was blocked from doing so by Davidson in a procedural move. " I think this is the only way we get the leverage or the opportunity. I will look fo,r any target that fits ," Jordan said. . Tafl has threatened to veto any concealed weapons bill that is not supported by major law enforcement groups, like the Fraternal Order of Police.'

Running between downtown high-rises and the riverfront, it connects Interstate 71 to the 1-75 bridge to Kentucky. Just as motorists on that route were finally getting some relief from the reopening of portions of Fort Washington Way, a section of Pete Rose Way around the stadium was closed Monday for at least three months. The closing was necessary to allow construction of the plaza level of the new Paul Brown Stadium and to allow for some street connections, project officials said. " It will be difficult for about three more months, but it will be well worth it," said Brooke Hill, a spokeswoman for Hamilton County. Not everyone is so sure. " After all the frustration and inconvenience, will it really be worth it?," asked Blanche Headen, 48, of Cincinnati. "I don't think so." Russ Lemons, 29, of Cincinnati, believes the finished stadium and highway will be good for the city, but he too is tired of the constant traffic obstacles. "It's horrible, " he said. "I have a job out of downtown now - thank God - but I had to put up with it until this month. You can 'I even tell people from out of town how to get here, because you never know what will be closed next.'' · The new stadium and Fort Washington Way construction is scheduled to be finished by August. Don Gindling, construction manager for Fort Washington Way, said the worst of the problems are behipd motorists. He also said traffic seemed to be flowing much more smooth ly Tuesday, a day after the closing of the section of Pete Rose Way contributed to a l"ajor traffic backup. The August completion date of Pete Rose way might be more of a relief if there weren't yet another complication. A new baseball stadium is · planned between the Firstar Center hockey arena and Cinergy Field, where the Reds now play. " They're just going to start building that new Reds ballpark," said Ms. Headen. "II doesn't seem like it will ever end." COLUMBUS (AP)- A 23-yearold man was being held without bond today awaiting his return to Chicago, where he's charged with the murder of the son of an Illinois congressman. FBI agents and police arrested Darcel I Prince without a struggle on Tuesday after surrounding an East Side residence, said Sheri Farrar, agent in charge of the FBI's southern Ohio division. Prince is charged with one federal count of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and one count of firstdegree murder in Illinois. He is expected to be returned to . Chicago soon, Farrar said. Prince and another suspect are charged in the Oct.18 fatal shooting in Chicago of Huey Rich, son of U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-111., a former Black Panther leader. Curtis Collins, supervisor of the FBI's Columbus office, said local authorities were tipped off abdut Prince's whereabouts in Columbus by the Chicago office of the FBI. Rich, who was named after Black Panther founder Huey Newton, was the son of Rush and Saundra Rich, who met lhrough the Panthers movement but never married. Chicago police said Rich and his fiancee were returning to his apartment on Oct. 18 when he was shot by two men posing as plainclothes police officers during an apparent robbery attempt. Rich died four days later. The same day he died, Leo Foster, 32, was arrested and later charged with first-degree murder. Foster, said Rich was targeted because they thought he was carrying cash or drugs for a dealer.

A number of factors contributed to the third-quarter growth, including robust consumer spending, a strong buildup in inventories held by businesses and an increase in exports. The revised third;quarter estimate shows the economy is growing at a more robust pace than the 5.5 percent rate the government reported one Going abroad?·Feds urging eXtreme caution WASHINGTON (AP) - The government is telling Americans it believes terrorists may target them from now through mid-January, especially at holiday gatherings and millennia! celebrations.

Defense Secretary William Cohen said today that the threat is being closely watched worldwide. "All of our intelligence agencies are cooperating worldwide witli their counterparts, and so there is a sharing of intelligence to make sure that we have the latest possible information to make sure that we can deter and detect and discourage any attempts on American lives anywhere in the world," Cohen said." He said "there are some groups out there that seem determined to ruin the holiday if they can and to kill Americans and others if they can."

ODs/1 Society Scrapbook I t is an argument perhaps as old as the second celebration of Christ's birth nearly 2000 years ago: Has Christmas become too commercial and in the process robbed us of any spiritual mean. ing? . Some say western culture has turned Dec. 25 into a day of celebrating commerce, with the emphasis on gift buying and· pursuing activities that have little connection to honoring the birth of a babe in Bethlehem. Families spend - and overspend - on gifts, decorations, greeting cards . and other related items. Many merchants including our neighbors 11nd friends -count on December to carry them into the black fimincially. And, Christmas "starts" earlier every year with stores displaying merchandise before Halloween. Overkill some say. Others agree, saying a hip-swaying Santa doll that dances to Christmas tunes has little bearing on remembering the miracle of Jesus' birth. Or what about the attack on our senses when we elbow our way through a crowd mall? . True, the· spread of materialism into the stream of our lives has often come at a high price. In the 1950s, Anne Morrow Lindbergh in her book, "Gift" From Th'e Sea," spoke of our mechanical and scientific gains, but at the price of losing touch with the spiritual things · that feed our sou Is. Pope John Paul II and evangelist Billy Graham both have cautioned against seeking the material things of the world and forsaking the spiritual. ChristmaS, of all days, is the time that bears out our preoccupation with the pleasures of the eye and flesh. Qr has it? Just as the magi brought precious gifts to the Christ Child, so do we - only in a different manner. As Christ told Peter to prove his love by "feeding, caring for and loving his sheep," so do we prove our love and concern for others by the plate of cookies baked for an elderly neighbor, or a toy dropped off into a collection bin for a needy child. Those things feed the soul and ·make it soar. We say we love and care by putting together food baskets and filling mitten trees. We take the time out of "2417" lives to meet the needs of others and affirm friendships and family ties. And, hopefully we do all those things in the name of one who is greater than all of us. It would be a shame to cut back on the lights and tinsel trappings of Christmas. To take away the joy of seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child would be a loss for our own humanity, because it recaptures an innocence and wonder buried within our busy lives. And to forsake the gift-giving would deprive us of a special joy. Even the token box of chocolates or socks still says someone cared enough to remember. So let us each slip away physically and emotionally from the rush of the season to renew our souls by reading the Christmas story, or · simply standing in the cold night air looking at the stars of heaven as we give thanks for the gifts we have and the gifts we have to give. Those things nurture the soul and give Christmas the real meaning. P8Ge4 Wed~ay, December~. ' By JOAN RYAN Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc. A.

His 22-year-old mistress lied for him under oath. His top aides cov· ered up for him. Yet neither the president, nor Monica Lewinsky, nor Bruce Lindsey, Sydney Blumenthal, Lanny Breuer, Timothy Keating, Nancy Hemreich, PalSy Thomasson nor any other White House apparatchik faced criminal action for felonious conduct No, the lone individual who is staring at both a prison sentence and $20,000 in fines for her role in the White House sex scandal is Linda Tripp. Tripp, a Maryland resident, stands accused of violating the state's obscure wiretap law. The charges stem from seaet recordings she made of phone conversations with Lewinsky in which the former White House intern detailed her sexual relationship with the commander-in-chief.. The state attorney for Howard County, Md., where Tripp resides, wasn't remotely thinking of bringing state charges against the former White House secretary (who has sinee been reassigned to the Pentagon) when the existence of the tapes was first reported in the national news, in January 1998.

But Tripp is hardly to blame for the role she played in the White House sex scandal.

Daily Variety reported today. The Coach watches were returned to the actress Dec. 13 on orders from Helmut Voss. the president of the association, which votes on the awards. "This watch was way, way, way beyond the edge of the envelope as far as promotional considerations, like T-shirts," said Voss, who estimated they cost $295 to $395 each. "We were touched by her generosi· ty, but this is ~etinitely a 'no-no for a group like ours that wants to protect the integrity of its award.•• Voss said the effort to collect the watches from the membership "put a lot of stress on our office at u time when we could least afford it.

The eccentric Atlanta Braves closer bashed New Yorkers, particularly Mets fans, and the .city's residents in this week's issue of Sports Illustrated. "Imagine having to take the 7 train to (Shea Stadium) looking like . you're (in) Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids," Rocker said. "It's depressing." The left-hander stirred controversy during the NL playoffs in October by calling New York fans "stupid," and "a tired act" before the Braves arrived in New York. That made him a ·target of Mets fans in the three ~ames played at Shea Stadium. Continui ng his tirade against Mets fans, he said: " Nowhere else in the country do people spit at you, throw bottles at you, throw quarters at you" and, he said, make vulgar comments about your mother. Rocker, who said he would retire before ever playing for a New York team, also slammed the city's diverse population. "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners," he said. "You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hetl did they get in t~is country?" NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL will review the method of throwing flags following the injury to Cleveland's Orlando Brown, who was hit in the eye by a flag and retaliated by shoving referee Jeff Triplette. League spokesman Greg Aiello sliid Tuesday that the instructions given to officials would be part of the standard review that fotlows any problem on the field. Brown, a 6-foot-7, 350-pound offensive tackle, was struck in the eye by Triplette's flag on an illegal .procedure can · Triplette immediately rushed to Brown's side, pulled the flag out from between the facemask and helmet and apologized. Brown staggered to the sideline, then returned to the field and shoved the 6-5, 203pound Triplette to the ground. Brown was ejected and escorted from the field by security guards. He was then hospitalized with impaired vision and said a family history of eye problems - his father is blind -had caused him to react the way he did. Triplette, in his first season as a referee, is a fourth-year NFL official who in his first three seasons was a · back judge, the official stationed farthest from the line of scrimmage. As such, he was used to throwing his flag a long way on penalty calls to mark the spot of the infraction. - While emphasizing that Brown's injury was a fluke occurrence, Aiello said the league would re-emphasize to officials that those close to · t~e line of scrimmage, such as the referee, should throw their flags into ttie air.

The game, the first in II years between two of college basketball's perennial powers, would have made the late Jimmy Valvano proud that it was played in his memory. Guyton hit seven 3-pointers and Kirk Haston added 14 points and nine rebounds for Indiana (8-1 ). Brendan Haywood had 20 points for North Carolina (8-3) before fouling out late.

Southern got the ball and tried a hasty shot, and Wahama was off and running. Southern continued to run a two-three zone to perfection and forced a Wahama turnover. Wahama made several turnovers in the closing seconds and was forced to foul to stop the clock. Southern went to the line and hit 5-6 in the closing minutes to secure the game, 61-5 I. In early action, Wahama purely dominated and pulled away to a 22-7 first period lead. Jason Fraley was unstoppable, hitting 7-8 field goals, in a spirited effort. Southern's only scoring came from three Chad Hubbard field goals off fast breaks in transition. Of its 31 shots in the fir.;t half, only five were taken outside of the paint. Southern tried variations of its full court press, a half court trap, and basic man-to-man, but no'thing could stop Wahama's penetration to the goal. Finally, Southern switched to a zone in the second half, a move that proved to be a big stop for the Tornadoes. MERCERVILLE - In Tuesday night's varsity boys ' basketball game at South Gallia High School, the Eastern Eagles used their fastbreak offense and man -to-man defense to score early and often in the paint en route to a 74-43 win over the Rebels. After the Eagles (4-1) scored the first four points on first-minute layups by junior forward Joe Brown (7:45) and senior forward Josh Will (7:16), the Rebels (1-4) answered · with senior center Justin Cook's stickback jumper with 6:24 left in the first quarter. South Gallia was never closer to its guest from then on. Eastern responded with a string of eight unanswered points that put the Eagles ahead 12-2 with 2:14\efl. After junior forward/guard Mickey Massie took Cook's pass for the layup at the 2:07 mark, Eastern's lead was trimmed to eight points. But baskets in the next minute from senior center Eric Smith (I :44), Brown (1 :32) and junior·forward Chad Nelson (1:18) permanently put the Eagles' lead in double-digit country. The Eagles sank 19 of 34 shots from the field in a first half they finished with a 9-0 run. They scored 28 points in the ·paint in that stretch, compared with South Ga\lia's 18 from all locations in the same· period. The Rebels, who missed 23 of 29 from the field in the first half, were held to a 4-for-10 showing in the paint in that time frame. The closest the Rebels came to~> shooting 50% from the field was in the third quarter, when they hit six out of 14. The fourth quarter marked the last time they pulled Eastern 's lead under the 20-point mark. Cook's three-point basket (7:47) and junior forward Josh Staton's layup (6:34) trimmed Eastern 's lead to 5637. The Rebels never got closer than 19 points from then on. JV notes: In the preceding junior varsity contest, Chris Lyons' 13 points and Brad Brannon's 12 were the principal building blocks in Eastern 's 52-47 win over South Gallia.

Southern CQach Jay Rees' synopsis of the game sounded !ike this: 'It certainly wasn't pretty, but it was a nice gift going into the holidays. Sometimes you shoot at the basket and it looks like an ocean. Some nights you shoot at the basket and it resembles a gnat's behind. Tonight we were shooting at a gnat's behind." Before the game, Coach Rees declared, "It's strange, but our team is shooting better from three-point range (38 percent) than from twopoint range 37.18 percent." Then his club came out and shot 0-for-10 on three's in the first half, shooting just 2-of-16 ( 12 percent) for the entire game. Overall, Southern was 9-of-29 (31 percent) in the first half and 1754 (31 percent) for the game with a torrid 25-for33 night at the foul line.

Overall, Wahama was 22for-50 on two's and 1-for-3 on three's, hitting 8of-16 at the line.

Ohio State isn't exactly at peak strength either, with sixth-man Boban Savovic out for at least a couple more weeks with a heel injury and two other subs nursing injuries that have piled the minutes on the starters.

This candidate was published too late for this year, but I hope it is considered next year. It occurred during the Australian Championships, which were held in Penh last July. Which contract would you like to reach on these Nonh-South hands? The right spot is seven diamonds. Note that seven hearts cannot be made with the 3-1 heart break. You must lose either a club or a trump trick. Only one pair in a large field full of Australia's best players reached seven diamonds. ·North was Bob Dalley and South Paul Lavings; both live in Sydney. •After East 's one-spade overcall , Lavings saw no reason to support heans immediately. Instead, he showed his ~xcellent diamond sui!. Then, over West's cautious two spades (most modern-day tourna· menl players would bid a pre-emptive three spades, showing a weak hand with four-card support), Dalley evaluated correctly. Despile holding only II high -card points, he realized that he had a wonderfu l hand, wonh al least game in support of diamonds. So, Dalley made a void-showing jump 10 four spades. (Most experls treat this as a splinter bid, when North might have a singlc.ton spade. The void -showing agreement made South 's life much easier.) Lavings used Blackwood, then jumped to seven diamonds. Terrific I With hindsight, East-West wished they had sacrificed in seven spades, which costs · only 800 (four down doubled) and is cheaper than conceding even a small slam.

Spurs survive Kidd's big night; .Pippen, Blazers upend Roc-ket$ By The Aaaocllited Prell Of little solace to the Phoenix Suns was yet another triple-double fa~ Jason Kidd. With 15 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a 91 90 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night , Kidd posted his 29th career triple-double to move ahead of Michael Jordan into sixth place on the career list. " It 's a lot of luck, " Kidd said. "I'm just trying to help the big guys rebound. I'm just trying to help them for 48 minutes, so if I can help them in that aspect , then my big guys and shooters help me with ihe assists. That's what this game is all about. "Even though we lost, we had a great time out there, " said Kidd, whose Suns had their four-game winning streak snapped . Elsewhere in the NBA, it was Indiana 113, Seattle 103; Toronto 116, New Jersey 87; Washington 97, Detroit 83; Portland 89, Houston 79; and Sacramento 108, Milwaukee 95. A steal by Mario Elie led to his game-deciding free throw wi th 3.1 seconds remaining in overtime, breaking a 90-90 tie. Tim Duncan led San Antonio with 25 points and 16 rebounds, while David Robinson had 21 points and 15 rebounds. Elie came up with his steal after Avery Johnson 's miss was rebounded by Rex Chapman near the freethrow line. As Chapman turned upcourt, Elie swiped the ball away and was fouled. He made his first free throw and ·missed the second, but Johnson came up with the offensive rebound and ran out the clock.

The former Rocket and Bull was booed by the Houston faithful every time he touched the ball last night.

Two hasty possessions and ensuing turnovers provided Wahama with second chances, then Southern shot prematurely trailing 39-37 with 36 seconds left, allowing Simpkins to break away for a score that gave WHS a 41-3 7 lead after three rounds. Southern's zone did the trick on Wahama's inside penetration. Additionally, guard Chris Randolph drew four charges in a gutsy defensive performance. Southern trailed by as much as six in the final round, then came back on the coattails of Fisher's three pointers, and outstanding free throw shpoting to post the win. As Wahama began to tire in the second period, South- ern still suffered offensive woes, but was able to get a couple key goals from Chris Randolph, and break-aways from Hubbard, Norris, and Warner. Bmndon Hill came off the bench to make several steals, and Southern connected 5-5 from the line to at one point cut the WHS lead to six points. A Gerlach bucket just before halftime pushed the score back to eight at 32-24. In the second half, Southern still struggled, but Hill came off the bench to again provide a great spark. The smallest man on the court, the 5-8 junior guard grabbed three big rebounds and made three key buckets in Southern's hunt for the leau. A Hill steal, then set up a South- "We played the kind of de[eilse we haven't been playing for · a . while," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "We played a great team in Phoenix who's been real hot lately. We just kept playing an• kept playing. We didn't get down. That's this team's personality."

Two key ·southern players, Russell Reiber and Nick Bolin, sat out the contest for disciplinary reasons, and did not dress for the game. Also, a moment of silence was held in honor of former Southern teacher and assistant.coach Jim Wickline, who passed away earlier in the day.
