Education assessment common in· nearly. all states
By RICHARD WHITMIRE
O.IIMH Newa Service
WASHINGTON - Nearly all stales now have slalewide assessments
aimed at mea.•uring bolb students and their schools.IICI:OI'ding to a new report.
.. Accountability has been a growing issue with states," said Edward Roe. ber, one of the authorli of the report released Thursday by the Council of Chief
State School Officers that shows assessments are in place in 48 states.
The only states without assessments are Nebraska and Iowa - and Nebraska is moving toward such a system, while Iowa has a voluntary testing program .
. In nearly all states, parents can see data showing the perfonnance of their
neighborhood schools.
About 15 state;; offer complete report cards for each school, tying in test
scores with factors such as atle{ldance rates, teacher backgrounds and percentage of children recei\'ing subsidized lunches.
"'Parents get a copy, Realtors get a copy, and these are often published in
newspapers," said Roeber.
Assessments have two goals: telling teachers and parents if their children·
are having trouble in certain ~ubjects. and telling the community if a certain
school is having trouble. ·
Some states. including North Carolina and Texas. o!fer cash bonuses to

schools achieving what testers call "value-added" progress- gain• beyond
what would be expected given income and education backgrounds of parents in th.at neighborhood.
Other states use their assessment results to sanCtion low-performing
schools. Usually, those states start by offering special help to struggling
schools. If that fails. principals can find themselves removed or entire schools
may be "reconstituted" - new principals, new teachers, new teaching
philosophies.
•
·
·
Depending on the state, the sanctions can be dramatic. Later this ·month,
247 North Carolina educators in 15 low-perfonning schools are scheduled
to take a basic skills test. Teachers say they will boycott.
"When schools don't perform, they have to find someone to blame," said
Joyce Elliott, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, "and
they usually blame the teachers."
The push to tie stu4ent assessments to teacher and school evalua\ions has
stirred anxieties among educators. even when the proposal is to give schools
bonuses for exceptional progress.
Cincinnati teachers last month turned down a school bonus offer.
"Some teachers don't agree with the philosOphy," said Tom Mooney, president of the Cincinnati teachers union. "They don't think pay should be tied
with results in any way; some find it demeaning professionally !t&gt; be offered

In 19 staleS, awarding of diplomas is contingent on the students' scores
on on graduation exams, the study said. Most of those exams, howev~r. :
require only thlt the most basic skills be mastered - the result of lawsuits
alle11ina that unequal education opportunities for minority students lead to :
unequal results. •
Some states stand out in the assessments ·movement.
New York is adopting one of the most rigorous graduation eums, con- ..
verting their Regents diploma - a voluntary test that can lead to an honors
diploma- into a test that must be pa.~sed before a senior can graduate.
Tite Regents exiiii1S are being phased in: The class .of 2000 must to pa.~s
the English Regents exam; the class of2001 musqiass both English and math.
Maryl.and is qonsidered a leader for tying its statewide 3.\&lt;essme~ts to performance testing, or test&lt; where students go beyond multiple ch01ce ques- .
tions. Vennont is known for developing "portfolios" of work completed by
student&lt; to demonstrate.their mastery. Aorida is known for defending its minimum competency testing against court challenges.
.
Although multiple-choice tests still are common. more states are· mov•~g
toward more thorough ways of mea.~urin11 what a student learns.
"This is a very encouraging trend," said Wayne Martin -of the Council of
Chief State School Officers.

Will the Middleport Pool remain
open for the remainder of the summer'!
'
That question wa.~ addresiled when
Middleport Council met in regular
session on Monday evening. Council
President Beth Stivers presided over
the meeting in absence of Mayor
Dewey Horton.
Council approved a general fund
transfer of $7,500 tQ the recreation
fund to meet expenses required to
operate the pool.
With council memben Robert
Pooler and Roger Manley dis.-enting. ·
and Stivers, Steve Houchins and
Sandy lannarelli voting in favor of
ihe tr~nsfer, the group discussed the
tinancial condition of the pool,
which. when it opened earlier this
year. was said to Ill' nearly linancia!ly 'self-sutlicient by Horton. · : ·
However, la.~t night's transfer of
$7.500 will leave the pool fund with
only $2.000 to opemle for the remainder of the sea.o;on. because of pendipg
,accounts payable.
Among the iSiiues discussed was a
bill for over $700 for concession
stand stock. which was "fronted" ~y
.the village to start the concession
stand operation for the season, u.~ well
as Jlllymll fiu the lileguanl stall'
required during hours of operation.
Houchins said that he h:td no problem with the village paying for the
cnncessinn ilems. as long u." the geneml fund woold be reimbursed lOr the
expense.

• WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S.
military defectors during the Vietnam·
Wor were targeted for death with
nerve ga.~ on a mission by American
auned forces, CNN and Time Magazine report.
The so-called Operation Tailwind
was approved by the Ni.xon White
House as well as lite CIA, said the
report. The main source was retired
Adm. Thoma&lt; Moorer, a Vietnam-era
chief of naval operations and chair- ·
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
·Fonnermilitaryofficialswhoparticipated in lite operation-in Septemher 1970 said .their job was to kill
defectors from the U.S. military. But
it was not known for sure whether the
suspected defectors died during a
pll'paratory nerve gas assault or a
subsequent assault with convention- '-'
al weapons carried out by Special
Forces troops.
··
A companion story on the eightmonth investigation appears in the
current edition of Time magazine,
written jointly by a CNN producer
and correspondent. ·
"It was pretty well understood that
if you came across a defector; and
could prove it to yourself beyond a
reasonable doubt. do it, under any cir~umstance, kill them," said 1st Lt.
Robert Van Buskirk, described as a
platoon leader in 'lite operation. "It
wasn't about bringing them back. II

advantage of

First on my
list is lean Bertrand Aristide.
The former Haotian president
didn't inspire many Americans to
his side during his time in Washmgton, but he was an inspiration to the
people in hos homeland. Tens of
thousands of them turned out to
cheer Arisude on the day on 1994
when a State Department plane
returned him to Haiti after a U.S.
onvasoon force ousted the military
junta that had sent hom onto exile.

nalists on that historic night and
saw up close the emotional tie that
existed between Aristide and the
people of the imyoverished
Canbbean nation who-'lllade him
their first democratically elected
head of state.
Ne~t on my list is Johnnie
Cochran. Most Americans remember him as the lawyer who defended
OJ. Simpson. His is reviled by
those who say he used the race card
to help the formef football superstar
get away with murder - and idolized by others who believe he heat a
legal system that is stacked against
black defendants.
I met Cochran years earlier during the Los Angeles riots when he
def1ed critics in the cuy 's black

.' DAY'IUN- Workers at Huffy Corp's hocyclc plant in Celina fell voctim
to forces outsode theor control when the company decided to shut down the
operation, say labor and economoc experts.
"I can't imagine there was anythong the workers could have accepted that
)l'ould have kept the plant open," said John Weiler, director of the Umvcrsoty of Dayton's Center for Busoness &amp; Economoc Research.
Huffy says ot must cut costs to he able to compete with overseas bike
makers. The Dayton-based company saod last week ot woll close the 40-yearold plant, which employs 1,000 workers, by the end of the year.
Huffy woll import 60 percent of ots mass market bokes from Asoa and
Mexico It will produce the rest at its non-union plant in Farmington, Mo.
Three years ago, Huffy workers in Celina took a 20 percent wage cutto an average wage of about $10 an hour - to keep production at the plant.
. But Huffy asked for addotoonal cuts in wages and benefits, saying it needed to reduce costs at the plant by at least $15 m111ion.
· The workers reJected the proposal after first refusong to vote on it
, "It's hard to imagme workers hcmg able to live on an otTer as low as
Huffy was making," Weiler said.
- · Thomas Frederick, Huffy's chief financial officer, sa1d the company
could not find a way to cut costs enough to keep the plant operating He said
closmg the plant was a difficult decision but essential for the survoval for
Huffy's bocycle division.
' · ' Howard Scoll, spokesman for the Umted Steelworkers of Amcrica,lnter·ilational in Pillsburgh, sa1d the local had worked with Huffy to try to bring
costs in line with those of the competitiOn.
"It's a dam shame Huffy would decide to just shut down thos operation,"
Seou said. "We feel we've hcen extremely reasonable."
· · Weiler saod 11 was not a maller of whether United Steelworkers Local
:5369 could flex its muscles.
• • ' "11le problem with the Huffy situation would appear to be there was
~~itnply no bargaining power at all, labor union or not," he sao d. "It was sim·Jlly not a viable situation."
.,. Harley Shaiken, labor professor at the University of Cahforma at Berke-ley, agreed. .
...
"'- "It's very hard to compete woth workers makong 80 cents an hour whose
productivoty rivals U.S. and Japanese workers," he said.
Shaiken said many U.S. companies seem to be takmg a harder line with
lheir workers.
"I think ot reflects stiffer compe.!_ition and a greater case of shifting production offshore," he said.

tation possible," Cochren told me
shortly after he took Denny on as a
client.
And then there is George Wal·
lace, the former arch-segregationist
who now pones for absolution from
the people he used to demo god .
When I interviewed Wallace several
years ago he told me he regretted
th~racist things he did and said
while Alabama's governor during
the 1960s.
Wallace said that, like a lot of
other people in the South, he
changed with the times. He compared himself to Lyndon Johnson,
who he said was a :1!\i!C&amp;ationist
~uring his early years in politics but
later became an integrationist. Wallace said he wants to he forgovcn for
the paon he caused African Amcrocans and.urged me to tell my renders
as much.
The fourth pers1" on my list is
Bill Chnton. Twice in the past four
years I' vc had extended meetings
with the president in the White
House. Each time he impressed me
with the case with which he handled
the broad range ol issues we discussed. One-on-one he is a ma.•ter at
disarming his critics.
Clinton also ha.s an uncanny ability to c'lnncct with people. a skoll
that keeps his standing up in the
polls even as his prcsodcncy is
threatened lly a sex scandal und
charges that he gave missile technology to Chinn in return lor an illegal camp;~ign contnbutwn.
And finally. Nelson Mandela
met him during his triumphant tour
of the Unucd States after his release
frnm u South African prison in
1990. I talked to Mnndela during a
small reception at Jesse Jackson\
Washington home and he urged me
to usc my column "to speak the
truth."
It wa.s just a brief encounter with
the man who three years later would
become South Africa's first black
president - a meeting with one of
this century's most important ligures.

Murphy estomates the cost of connecting all household! to the system

Noting that Syracuse Mayor

said that Middleport had not reqhested pool funds from the board for
three years. and added that several
repairs to the pool. and replacement
ofth'e diving board .•which wa.~ a "big
draw," were needed for this season.
Thornton said that the commissioners were unable to provode any
funding for the Middleport Pool, citing financoal obligations on the county level, but urged the committee to
seek ODNR NatureW&lt;~rks funding
and CDBG funds for the repairs

Mattin captures U.S. Open spot
ByJOEKAV
AP Sport1 Wrltlt'
CINCINNATI-Ca.-.ey Martin is
going to try to keep a low profile something thai's probably out of the
question as long as he rides a cart and enjoy every moment of his first
U.S. Open.
lr took him four tries and an
improbable finish to gel there. .
Martin thought he'd blown his .
chance to qualify Monday when he
double-bogeyed his 36th hole at
Clovemook Country Club. He sat in
a car and watched raindrops drihble
down lite wind~hield while tlie res! of
the field came in, then learned he'd
finished in a five-way tic for the final
spot.
His 25-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole clinched it and left .
him struggling to realize what had
happened - and what coJ11es next.
"I've never experienced the competition that will be out there," said
Martin, 26. "I've never experienced
the pres.•ure I'm probably going to
feel. So I'm 1101 getting my hopes up
too much."

Despite the unfamiliar cart, Martin was amonsthe leaders for the five
U.S. Open bertlls when he teed otT on
lite.~ hole. a 467-yard par-4. His
first shot landed under a tree to the
right of the fairWay, his a)prooch shot
was short and he needed two putts.
Martin wn.• visibly angry after the
double-bogey left him al2·under·par

"You work hard all day, play for
eight hours, 36'holes. you get your· ·
self in thlll position and you can't finish it off- that would get you a little upset.~' said Philip Geig~r. wh.o
was in Martin's threesome.
Martin sat in a car with his friend.
Eric Johnson, who also came in at
138.
"I cried on his shoulder," Martin
said.
As he talked out his frustrations,
·the rest of the field came in . Four
spocs went to Sam Randolph. who
shot 135, and Patrick Lee. Rocky
Walcher and Jason Gore. who came
in at 137.
.
Martin got a secon&lt;lchance a.' four
others finl&lt;hed at 138 - Johnson.

The FTC antitrust complaint charged that Intel. which controls up to 90

The fTC charged that Intel reneged on an agreement to provide technical assistance when three other computer companies tried to enforce patent

" If li rmscannot protect their pa(cnted innovations from Intelthey won't

By Phillip Alder
We continue our look at entries.
Any time you are establishing a long
suit, always check lo see whelher you
have an entry in another suit that will
permit access to those established
winners. Bridge was not what Cer:
vantes had in mind when, in "Don
Quixole de Ia Mancha." he wrote,
"Fortune leaves always some door
open to come at a remedy." Organize
your own door; don'l rely on luck.
Take 111is deal as an example. You
get to 111ree no-trump. West leads the
heart seven. How do you proceed?
South doesn't like his one-notnlmp response. bul he has no choice.
He has enough points to bid. but not
enough to go 10 the two-level (which
requires II, or a good 10). He doesn't have.a suilto show at 111e one· level and cannot support partner. So. he
must respond one no,trump. His bid
denies four spades, denies four he an.~.
and denies four diamonds. So, what
does Sou111 have? Obviously, clubs.
With his slrong hand, North ,.aises to
game, no longer nervous about clubs.
You have six top tricks: 1wo
spades. two hearts (given lhe lead)
and two diamonds. You can get the
extra 'tricks from clubs. However,
·assuming the opponent with the club
ace holds it up for at least one round,
you must have a door •• an entry ••
to your hand.
· What hand entry dD you have?
Only the heart queen. This realization
should rotate you in 111e right direction: Win trick one with dummy's
bean ace; don't run the lead around
to your hand. Then drive oul the club
ace. Whalever East returns, you can
force a hand enll)' in hean.~ and come
in with two overtricks.
