Ex-Ohio . because ~ legislator ..~. will not . face trial ' ~ By I(ATHERINE RIZZO ' MMCbded Preu Writer WASHINGTON - Former • Rep. Mary Rose Oakar won't go : on trial for wnting a $16,000 bad , ·check because !here was nothing in ~ writing that said she couldn't do it. ~ "No rule was in effect regardIng overdrafts," U.S. District Judge Harold Greene wrote Thursday. The Ohio Democrat still faces charges that carry maximum penalties of25 years in prison and $1 .25 million in fines. She also failed to convince the judge that the House ' Bank Task Force exceeded its • authority. · Greene dismissed the core of the government's case against Oakar: a charge of converting-pub; : lie money to private use, a charge of lying to Congress and pan of tlte ' government's conspiracy case. Left intact for a jury to consider were campaign finance charges, · charges of lying .to the PBI and a · . narrower conspiracy case. Justice Department spokesman • John Russell said the government had not decided whether it will appeal. "We are still reading the judge's · gpinion," he said. "Overall we are . ; nol displeased." Defense lawyer Stanley Brand said the ruling showed that prosecutors went overboard. "It certainly changes the whole ihrust of the case," Brand said. "What it is and should have been is a garden-variety Federal Election Commission case and what the government did here was layer on all these other things that should'n't have been a part of it." Greene was critical of the prosecution. "The government has failed to give the Court any reason why other House members, who had overdrafts much in excess of that with which Oakar is charged, have not similarly been prosecuted," he wrote. Oakar said she was more optimistic about her chances of winning the case after reading the judge's opinion. "I was making the argument that I was selectively prosecuted," .•he said. ·"I knew that something .was wrong in this case." Oakar benefited l'rom recent :court rulings that made it difficult to support lying-to-Congress charges. The judge cited those rulings in throwing out a count involving her failure to list a $50,000 personal loan on a financial disclosure fonn required of all ·lawmakers. The judge allowed bakar to go to trial on charges alleging that she fabricated names of contributors and left some expenditures out of campaign disclosure fonns filed in 1992. Greene also let Oakar to go to trial on charges that she lied to an PBI agent about transactions in her House bank account and that she tried to mislead the PBI by giving investigators a back-dated document. Oakar was one of the last people charged with wrongdoing as a result ofthe House bank scandal. · I!Rd the only one charged with con- . version of public money for personal use. Eight others, including two former congressmen and the District of Columbia's fonner nonvoting congressional delegate, pleaded guilty to other crimes as a result of House Bank Task Pprce investiga·tions. In the only House bank cases to go to trial, fanner Ohio Rep. Don8Jd Lukens, a Republican, was convicted of bribery and 'a jury deadlocked on whether an Ohio man paid bribes to Lukens. The House """lc- and Oakar's 213 overdrafts - ·was the major issue in the 1992 campaign.

The bill, sponsored by Rep Cheryl Winkler, R-Cincinnati, was the culmination of five years of work by the Ohio Adoption Task Force spearheaded by Ohio's first lady Janet Voinovich. "When I got into office in 1991 , Ohio's adoption system was inconsiste nt from county to county and downright ineffective," the governor said. "Many people just quit because the system was filled with red tape." The bill Voinovich signed into law decreases the time a child waits for an adoptive hom~. develops statewide standards for adoptive procedures, implement safeguards for adoption procedures and improves access to adoption information. Under the law, all essential parts of the adoption process are now standard in all 88 counties across Ohio. For Ross County, the new adoplion laws mean a better reservoir of information about the 1,771 children currently available in Ohio, said Anita Kefgan, director of the county:s children services agency. "It's a better flow of information and it'll enable us to stay on top of the situalion better," she said.

I The city of Toledo owns the land, which it had purchased in 1987 but ' had been unable to annex because of community opposition. When Toledo bought the property, no one knew it was the s ite of the battle that opened the Midwest to white settlers and closed it to American Indians. But last summer, Michael Pratt, a Heidelberg College anthropology professor and historian, discovered that the battle took place on the land - about a mile north of where historians had thought it happened. Pratt 's discovery came after researching the battle for I0 years. It also included an archaeological dig of the site, which turned up several battle artifacts. Some of the land is heavi Iy wooded, just like it was when the battle was fought in 1794. Maumee officials and historians would like to tum the battlefield into a national park honoring those who died in the fight. ODOT spokesman Howard Wood said the battle site "just was not close enough lo heing a transportation type of project" to qualify for the grant. Paulcen said talks were continuing with the National Park Service about designatillg the battlefield as a national park or a national park affiliate, He said the city should have an answer by July.

George Voinovich has dismissed talk of the vice presidency, saying he isn't pursuing a position as Sen. Bo~ Dole's running mate, but others are not so sure. 1 "If it happens, it happens, " Voinovich told the Dayton Daily News for a story published on Saturday. "All that really matters is elect· ing Bob Dole the president of the United States." • Voinovich, a two-term Republican governor, has made frequent trips to Washington in recent months to lobby ConJ!ICss ·on 'such issues is wei· fare reform and returhing more mon· ey alld power to die states. Aides and friends said Voinovich truly cares about improving government and puts his career second, the newspaper reported. But one critic of the governor said otherwise. · "I've seen few politicians so adept at doing whatever it takes to pursue higher office and yet giv~ off the perception that, aw shucks, he's just doing his job," said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Leland. However, Voinovich has said on several occasions that he is not pursuing the vice presidency. He did help Dole campaign in Ohio earlier' this month. And Voinovich al;o loaned his strong political organization to the presi· dential candidate to help raise muchneeded campaign money and get out the vote. "He's done all you can possibly do," said Curt Steiner, the chief executive officer of the Ohio House who ran Voinovich's gubematoriil campaigns in 1990 and 1994. "But he would have done all those things anyway because he believes in Bob Dole. "The question, quite simply, becomes, who can provide the most help in electing Bob Dole president iri' November? Bob Dole has a lot of time to l!link about that." Voino\ich said he thinks Dole will wait until the Republican National Convention in San Diego in August before announcing his selection for a running mate. "That's when you want to generate the ucitement and make the ' news," he said. "It would spoil the convention if he named a running mate before then." 'Dole has said that while he paigned in the Midwest, he had a. chance to observe Voinovich along with Republican governors Tommy ThomJ)son of Wisconsin and John ' ·- Engler of Michigan.

WASHINGTON- He's back! . . . But here's the deal, see: Ross Perot never really went that far away. It's no coincidence that thll Texas billionaire is sen(,!ing out strong signals on another independent presidential candidacy now that the Democratic and Republican nominations are locked up. . He's spent most of the last four years planning and setting up the appara· tos for just such a move- tinkering under the hood, as he might put it. ' Few who know him doubt that when it comes time for a road test, Ross Perot himself will be at the wheeL Perot's playfully coy comments this week that he would run if drafted by his own Reform Party inched him publicly closer to a decision that close associates say he's already - for all practical purposes - made. On Tuesday, he told a San Antonio radio station be would run if the Reform Party drafted him once "the dust clears." He has since repeated the refrain in broadcast interviews with stations in Texas, Florida, New Mexico, Nevada and Oklahoma. . · He returned to a favored forum Friday -CNN's "Larry King Live." And next week be begins a whirlwind speaking tour with appearances at schools !in'd universities in Texas and Florida, where the party is circulating ballot fl<:titions with Perot's name as a stand-in candidate. ,• But there was no announcement on the King show like the one that got tiim into the race in April 1992, said Sharon Holman, Perot's longtime spokeswoman. . :: "I truly don't anticipate much more than an update on the Reform Party. ijis commitment is tOO percent behind getting the party on the ballot in all $() states," she said. ·~ As to a run by )!crot? "We never thought the door was totally shut," Hol~an said. . ~ Perot is benefiting from past misl!lkes, suggested Jim Squires, a top &!viser and spokesman for Perot in 1992 who still keeps in occasional con· · rlct with the Texan. .• " He's playing'% a lot smarter than be played '92," Squires said. ;! Ex peel to see him more focused, more media-savvy and less prone to pUblic outbursts, Squires suggests. ·l Except for his higb,profile battle against the North American Free lrade ~greement in 1993, and trips to Washington to testify before congressional penels, Perot's political organization has been his major preoccupation over tCae past four years. ·· . : Last August, he oversaw a three-day conference in Dallas that brought a 19ng parade of presidential candidates and other politicians before his "Unit· <lid We Stand" organization. · ~ He gave clear hints then of another pre~idential run, fo~ around a ~atform of finance, lobbying and other political ref~rms. And, m September, he formed his Reform Party, an outgrowth of Umted We Stand. : Saying the Reform Party "is not about me," Perot continues to hold out ~s preferenc~ that the party will nominate someone else, an individual he 111<es to call "George Washington the Second," at a convention to be held in September. · · . l But, in fact, no one has stepped forward to fill such a role, nor seems bke~~ . . , For one thing, Perot, who spent $60 million of his own money last time, oould not use his fortunes to finance any presidential bid other than his own. ij:derallaw limits political contributions to another's campaign to $1,000. • Nor will the Reform Party qualify up front for the federal general-electiOn funds that go to the Democratic and Republican parties. . : And no one really expects Perot to turn his party over to, say, Steve F.prbes, the only other well known political figure who could afford to fmance his own run. · · The fact that the convention isn't going to be held until September gives Perot the luxury of appearing to remain noncommittal for now on his own c~ndidacy. . ' • '- Political pundits who dismissed Perot as a cantankerous eccentric who couldn't repeat his remarkable 19 percent showing in 1992 are suddenly tak· ;Dg another look in light of recent polls showing there's still a·big Perot vote out there. . • A Gallup poll taken last week for CNJII and USA Today showed that, if aiJ·election were held today, President Clinton would win with 46 percent, with Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole the choice of 36 percent and Perot I6 ~rcent. An NBC-~all Street Jouma.l poll had similar findings. Sixteen pen;ent IS a lot of potenttal votes, especially m bght of the fact tllat Perot hasn't gotten much attention in the past few months as his potential candidacy was eclipsed by the lively GOP primary. · .i ·'All along f expected Perot to emerge again.

It's imporlalit.to note that seven of those eight appropriations bills have an average of I 1 percent less pork than.last year. Bu.t those modest improvement$ are wiped out by the defense bill, which has ·sd much pork (133 percent more than last year} that it may be in danger of coming down with trichinosis. The rolling of the pork barrel is a bipartisan spbrt. There are just as many Democrats as Republicans who are guilty of gluttony.

Hey, wanna make some money to pay for health care reform? Just eliminate a little fraud and abuse. That's what President Clinton wanted during his failed efforts last year to reform the nation's health care system. Now, House Repuolicans tout anti-fraud provisions as the prescription to fetch funds needed for their reform efforts. But, more important, the antifraud provisions fit in with the GOP's oft-repeated view of what health insurance reform should provide: availability, . aff~Qilityl" aecount• ability. "We hope that by including these provisions that we'll be able to bring down the cost of medical care," said Rep. Michael Bilirakis, R-Fla., chair of the Commerce health subcommit(!:e. Commerce is one of the committees that bas approved health insurance reform legislation. The House anti-fraud plans generally apply to Medicare, the government's health insurance program for the elderly. The Senate version of health insurance reform does not include similar provisions. The Ho.u5e would: • Permit the Departments of Justice and of Health and Human Ser- vices to JOintly manage a permanent fr01ud and abuse control program, and give the agencies strengthened authority to exclude providers from the Medicare/Medicaid programs because of fraud or substandard medical care. • Create new health-care fraud criminal statutes. • Exempt certain providers from anti-kickback statutes that prohibit them from benefiting from making Medicare/Medicaid referrals. "Generally speaking, these provisions are excellent, If enacted with a couple of modifications, they would con~titute a major step forward in the elfon to control health care fraud \uid abuse," June Gibbs Brown, in~pector general for Health and Human Services, wrote Rep. John Dingell, DMich. But Brown, and other government officials, had a mixed reaction to parts of the House plan _:. in particular, the anti-kickback measure, which Gibbs called "vague ... nefarious organizations could easily escape the kickback statute by simple rearranging their agreements." "The Department (of Justice} has a very active health-care fraud enforcement program, which we believe would be undermined by some of the provisions," assistant attorney general Andrew Fois wrote Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif. Brown and the General Accounting Office won) about a provision allowing providers to get "advisory opinions" on the legality of a program before they imple111ent it. They fear it would hamper enforcement of existing laws, piling mountains of additional work on HHS even as it continues staff cutbacks. Most fraud/abuse legislation is aimed at the doctors, hospitals and other health care providers who receive Medicare payments. To some, the troublesome provisions are vital. Being able to get an advisory opinion "is really important to us. " said.-Rick Wilde, a spokesman for the American Hospital Association. "It would help us in putting together net· works (of physicians and hospitals} that make sense without the hammer coming down on you later. It would be a catalyst to getting more things done." pie, this fraud and abuse stuff. Everybody wants it:· said Katie Horton, a legislative assis!ant to Stark. "The fraud package overall is not that bad. (Republicans) really reworked it. We 're reasonably happy with what's in there." And it generally appears to dovetail with the administration's efforts to cut Medicare fraud and abuse, highlighted by the Operation Restore Trust program. That is a two-year demonstration project operating in five states that focuses on trimming fraud and abuse in nursing facilities. home health care and coverage for durable medical equipment HHS has askej'J (or funds in the 1997 budget to expand the program to all 50 states. Other anti-fraud efforts have been successful; in I 994, the department raked in $8 billion worth of fines , penalties and savings from prosecutions and sanctions on those misusing Medicare. But as health insurance reform plans go. there is little controversy over the fraud and abuse provisions - especially when compared to the heat over such GOP pet ideas as medical savings accounts and·malpractice reforms- items considered possible deal·breakers if the House and Senate come together to negotiate a final package.

Voters interviewed at random Saturday were split, some saying China we1ghed heavily on their decision while others said domestic issues ·were paramount. · Maysing H. Yang, a senior aide to the defeated Peng, said she believe4 : . the China tensions helped Lee. "The China threat made Lee Teng-hui very popular because he spoke bach : in very strong language," she said. "People supponed him because he was · under attack from China. " As firecrackers sparkled ove~ Taipei. Lee thanked a gathering of 50,000 cheering supporters. Taiwanese voted "under threat and intimidation," ht: said, but "used their ballots to express their true love of this land." "This is the most precious moment in our history." Lee made no mention of how he will tackle the biggest crisis facing Tal· wan: resolving a war of nerves with China that has shaken Asia, rattled Taiwan's economy and brought a u.s. naval armada into the region to deter a 1 Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Beijing did not immediately comment on Lee 's victory, and China's staterun media didn 't mention the election . A commentary in today 's People's Daily again denounced Lee, calling him a "splittist " of the motherland, a trick-. ster in league with the United States, and a man whose policies "have pushe\1 Taiwan's people toward the abyss of catastrophe." But as the 73-year-old president sipped champagne with smiling aides, his triumph seemed complete. Lee had crushed his opponents on both flanks - Peng, who advocated outright independence for Taiwan, as well as tw o ·i defectors from Lee's Nationalist Party who ran independently, advocating a ·more conciliatory line toward China. . Lin Yang-kang had 15 percent of the vote, and Chen Li-an 10 percent, 1V said. Lee had 5.793 million votes, Peng 2.270 million, Lin I .598 million anc,l Chen 1.070 million. Lee, who has shepherded the island to democracy during eight years in office, ran for another four-year term in the midst of Taiwan's worst crisis with China in decades.

"Starr has notified me that he is investigating possible false state- . meniS concerning the travel office firings made to his office in the course of its inquiry into the suicide of former deputy White House counsel Vince Foster," Reno wrote to the court. "It would be appropriate to expand his jurisdiction to include Watkins' statement to GAO on that same subject." Reno's request to the court was the first public confirmation that Starr already was looking into possible lying about the travel office matter. A note by Foster found after liis suicide indicated•it was troubling him. · Reno did not identify whom Starr was investigating, but she made clear his suspicions about lying stemmed from the same source as those of congressional investigators - a draft memo by Watkins that surfaced in January and notes he took in 1993. "Independent counsel Starr, like the GAO, has relied on the memorandum and notes by Watkins as the primary evidence of the possible falsity of the statements relating to the travel office," Reno's letter said. · In his memo, Watkins said Mrs. Clinton was the driving force behind the May 1993 dismissals.

The Vikings needed some help - a shot that came after lfie final buzzer sounded in the semifinals- just to get to the title game and top-ranked Archbold, but made the most of the opportunity with a 58-53 shocker Saturday at St. John Arena Saturday. "Our kids played like they didn't fuave anything to lose," coach Allen Mack said. • As a ·result, they didn 't lose. They trailed in both games, yet came back to win. In the controversial 68-66 victory over Seam"an North Adams in the semifinals, they trailed by seven in the,last four min~tes. · ., , Against Archbold, they were dqwn as many as 12 in the second qu..-.:er and .by three with 3:30 remaining. ' ·Vince Littlejohn, hero of both g~es, said, "We weren 'I supposed to be here in some people's minds. We felt there was no pressure on us at all." - · In the end, though, what happenejl in the semifinals :- Littlejohn's IS-footer that every replay showed came after the final hom was almost an afterthought. "We didn't worry a lot about that," Mack said. "We knew the games were decided on the court. It's a great story, and now it's a part of the history of the final four. "It's special to win because we wanted to show people we were the champions. Thankfully, it didn't come down to a buzzer·beater." Littleioh_n also figured prominently in the final, hitting three free . throws and grabbing two important rebounds in the last 41 seconds. Liulejohn scored 13 points .. but none were as important as his three foul shots that sealed the outcome for Miami East. David Konicki led Miami East (20· 7) in the title game with t6 points, while Littlejohn, Aaron Chiv· ington and Casey McKinney each had 13. Archbold (26-1), had not been pressured all season until Brian Aschliman popped in a 15-foot jumper at the buzzer in the semifinals to beat second-ranked Bedford Chapel 63-61. \ "It hurlS to lose in the state finals," coach Doug Krauss said, "but if you've got to lose, what'better place than in the finals at St. John Arena'" Keith Roth finished with 17 points for the Blue Streaks, with brother Shaun Roth adding 15. The Vikings, who never won more than three games in a row all season, completed a tournament run of seven straight wins. To win their first championship in their second trip to the final four, they had to beat the state's No. 3 and No. I teams, who had a combined record of 51-0. They had lost two of their last four regular-season games and won their two sectional games by a total of four points. It was more hardship to overcome in the finals, since they trailed 9-3 and 20·8 early. But an 18-5 run turned that 20-8 deficit into a 26·25 advantage. Even after Aschliman hit two late three- pointers (O put Archbold ahead 31-27 at the break, the Vikings declined to fold. They bui It a 46-41 lead early in the fourth quarter behind two McKinney baskets. After the Streaks countered with an eight-point surge to retake the lead, Miami East ran off the next seven points to take the lead for good. In that 7-0 run, Konicki scored three points, Chtvington hit a .putback and assisted on one of Konicki's buckets and McKinney netted two free throws. Archbold drew to 54-51 o~ a foul shot, but then Liulejohn pulled down a big defensive rebound after a Streak miss with 38.6 seconds. He was fouled and hit both shots. He and McKinney later added a free ' throw apiece to put it out of reach . Littlejohn also had another defensive rebound - he had only three rebounds for the game - after an Archbold miss with 21 seconds left. Miami East, despite seven losses, won all 13 games it played on Saturdays. The Vikings won in spite of shooting 44 percent from the field. ' ., '• -' •! ,. -..•• ··-' ·" '' ,., ---- \i :!,.

Haase m~sed his first four threepointers, but Vaughn didn't hesitate to kick the ball his way when it mat-' tered most. "I still had confidence in him," Vaughn said.. "If no one else had confidence in him, I did. You have to have confidence and respect among your teammates, and that's special this time of year." Vaughn wrapped up a point-guard kind of night by dribbling precious seconds off the clock before being fouled, then made two free throws to give Kansas a cushion. "I do the things that it takes to make my team win," Vaughn said. "If( need to shoot 20 times, my team has the confidence for me to shoot 20 times. If I shoot twice, I shoot twice." Vaughn finished with 13 points and II assists for Kansas, which got 20 points from Paul Pierce and 18 from B.J. Williams.

HAINES CITY, Fla. (AP) Chris Sabo didn' 1 make a very good impression Friday in his return to the Cincinnati Reds lineup. He went 1-for-4 with a double as the designated hitter in a 14-31oss to Kansas City. He pulled up as he rounded first base on the eighthinning double. , · II was his first appearance since he pulled a hamstring March 8. "He doesn 't look OK to me," m1111ager Ray Knight said. "He says that he just needs to go out there, but I'm concerned. I'm going to meet with him probably tomorrow, to kind of gel a beuer idea. "He can't be that labored in his running because he couldn't play defense. There's no doubt about him swinging the bat. Those things (hamstring pulls) can linger on and . on and on. I know he does not want to rehab or anything like that. " I just don't know where we are with that. Today, I didn'tlike what I saw of him running." If he 's healthy, Sabo will make the team as part of a platoon at third base with Jeff Branson. Lower back problems have limited him the last few years, but he says it has not bothered him this spring. · Sabo said the hamstring is almost healed. "It's all right," he said after the game. "I was just very cautious. I ran slow. I didn 'I want to aggravate it." Asked how long it will be before he could run full-speed, Saba said, "A matter of days. I could probably run that fast now." Sabo and right fielder Reggie Sanders have been two of Knight's biggest concerns in camp. Sanders has been sidelined for all but a couple of games after bruising his shin by the knee in a collision on March ~ •• ;.o•· ·'•! :1 .( I '{ .,·, ...-., .... . ..:~• ..• ., :, .HOOP SHOOT WINNERS- These youths won :their respective age-group dlvlslona In the Tri·County Elk's Hoop Shoot, held In Galllpplle In :December, 1995.

Plenty of them were on display Friday night, each s.retching a losing streak to greater proportions. Worst off was Vancouver, which has grown accustomed to losing and losing lots in a row - in its inaugural season. The Grizzlies dropped their 17th straight, two shy of the 19-game streak they had earlier this season, with a 111 -94 defeat at Indiana. "It is very difficult to put togeth~ er a team over the summer, " Vancouver's Blue Edwards said. "We have been in a lot of games that were close, but we couldn't do it down the stretch. To compete with a learn like the Pacers, we have to be able to keep it up the whole game. They have the depth and experience that we 're lacking." AI least the Grizzlies are an expansion team and can use thai as an excuse. Not so for Milwaukee and Dallas. The Bucks lost their lOth in a row, one shan of the franchise record, with a 122-106 defeat to Miami. And the Mavericks, expect· ed to compete for a playoff spot. lost their ninth in a row as the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves crushed them by 26 points, II 0-84. "I don't think it can gel any lower. I hope not," Jason Kidd said. In other NBA games, San Antonio beat Toronto 120-108, Orlando edged Washington 111-108 in overtime, Utah defeated Cleveland 9975, Atlanta beat Charlotte 117-92, Sacramento nipped Portland 80-78, Detroit downed New Jersey 111-96, Boston edged Denver.99-98 and the Los Angeles Clippers defeated Philadelphia 107-93. Pacers Ill, Grizzlies 94 Miller ended a 43-for-131 shooting slump covering the last eight games, scoring 23 points on 7-for-11 shooting - the first time in nine games he's hit more than 50 percent of his shots. Jazz 88, Cavaliers 75 Utah turned to an up-tempo style in the third quarter and broke the game ope n with a 25-11 run. A threepointer by Karl Malone with 6:41 to play gave the Jazz their largest lead, 80-60. IT'S HERE!

The Detroit Red Wings aren't too excited about winning the Presi dent's Trophy. They remember what · happened last year. "It's a great accomplishment," Detroit forward Dino Ciccarelli said following a 7-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night, "but we're looking at the overall picture." That, of course, would be the Stanley Cup - something the Red Wings didn't win last season despite finishing with the best record in the regular season. The Red Wings were swept by the New Jersey Devils in four games.' "It's not a big deal," coach Scotty Bowm'an ·said after the Red Wings improved ti!eir season point total to 114 (55-12-4) with their ninth slrllight victory. clinching their second straight trophy. "We didn't set oul to win tbe President's Trophy." The Red Wings, by the way, have achance to break the NHL's regular· season record of 132 points. set by the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens. The Red Wings have II games left. Igor•Larionov had three assists and Mike ~ernon posted his third shutout of the season to key the Red Wings' victory. Vernon, often a target of fan abuse for sometimC$ allowing soft golils. was cheered by the hometown fans as he posted the 13th shutout of his career by stopping 15 shots. Col· . orado's Pa~ck Roy was beaten on five of the 20 shots he faced before he was lifted after Keith Primeau's goal at 6:06 of the third period. "They're' very dominuu: there's no doubt about it," said Roy, who forced his trade from Montreal after giving up nine goals to Detroii in tl)e Red Wings' 11· 1 win over the Canadiens on Nov. 28..

(AP) According to fans, scribes Bf'ld others, Hard-hitting slugger, insensitive 'jerk' and charity donor define Belle persona By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer It took the Cleveland Indians 41 long years to finally get back to the World Series. This time it may take only six months. In 1995, the Indians won 100 games in a 144-game season and did it with flair. Cleveland won 27 games in its final at-bat, including I 0 with game-ending home runs. The Tribe was the first team since the 1971 Baltimore Orioles to lead the league in both pitching and hitting, - and they overwhelmed the Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners in the playoffs. · Against the Atlanta Braves' magnificent pitching staff, Albert Selle & Co. were overanxious, confused and frustrated. Lessons learned: talent can only take you so far, and you can never have enough pitching. The Indians added another quality arm during the offseason, signing former Cy Young winner Jack McDowell. Their lineup got some added muscle as well, adding first baseman Julio FrancO; one of baseball 's toughest outs before going to Japan for a year. You can't buy a ticket to Jacobs Field, 'which is already sold out by fans soaking up wins after so many dreary seasons on the shores of Lake Erie. Outside northern Ohio, Indians haterS are growing in numbers as the club swaggers its way around the bases. . A team-by-team look at the American League, in predicted order of finish: East Baltimore Orioles: If baseball awarded a pennant for winning the offseason, it would be flying over Camden Yards. After coughing up $45 million on free agents last year, owner Peter Angelos lured former Toronto Blue Jays GM Pat Gillick out of semiretirement and added superb second baseman Roberto Alomar (.300, 66 RBis).

Vaughn, AL MVP last season and the city's most popular athlete, hinted at bolting when his contract negotiations got sticky. He finally agreed to a new three-year, SIS mil· lion pact in February. Now he just needs to improve on those October numbers. After hitting .300 with 39 homers and 126 RBis, he went 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts as Cleveland swept Boston in the playoffs. Jose Canseco (.306, 24 HR) was postseason problems, too, but may benefit -from the addition of Kevin Mitchell, back from Japan. Roger Clemens (10-5, 4.18) has added a changeup, which will make his fastball seem even quicker. Tim Wakefield (16-8, 2.95) needs to be more consistent after winnirig 14 of his first 15 decisions.

Among Ohio's 31 confirmed nesting sites in 1996, 17 are -located in the Lake Erie marsh regio.n of nonhwest Ohio where habitat and fo.od supplies are fairly abundant.

Students in lower · ing, arithmetic, geography and ele'I mentary science. ¥aps made oul of paper pulp, paste and sand were among the geography requirements even in 1900. In the second term physiology and history were substituted for geography and science. In the third term elementary science came back as did geography. History was given instead of writ. mg. The curriculum for the "fifth and sixth grade are similar except that drawing is added. In 1900 a lot more emphasis was placed on the stUdy of the outdoors • rocks, plants, trees, birds and animal tracks - than is present in today's grade school curriculum. The teacher that was probably associated with more of Grant School history than any other was Hannah Maxon. Her tombstone in the Pine Street Cemetery honors her service during the Civil War as a nurse. Maxon was a graduate of Oallia Academy and of Springfield Female College. Besides teaching school over 40 years and being a Civil W11 nurse at the U.S. Army Hospital in . • . Gallipolis, she was active in the .tern.:: perance movement, Sunday Schoo{ and in the Relief Corps of the Grand•: Army of the Republic. The Relief.: Corps was the women's auxiliary tO:· the G.A.R., an organization com-·: posed of Union veterans from the:: Civil War. :· In the Relief Corps, Maxon rose:: to the rank of State Chaplain and': State President. :· Wrote the 1\-ibune upon her death:: in 1910: "Miss M'axon had become ' so well kno.wn by her beautiful ; · charming and eloquent addresses ?ver. many states that she never put ~ .

The overwhelming beauty ·of Virginia · By' DOROTHY SAYRE To some extent, everyone is a geographical chauvinist. I'm no exception. I'm proud of the scenic wonders of Oregon and of my adopted states Colorado an'd Ohio. But a state I owe no allegiance to continues to intrigue and beguile me with its beauty...Virginia. After driving through or. visiting in Virginia, the memories of its beauiy fade a bit until the next visit when I'm almost overwhelmed by its freshness'and scenery again. While I have not visited the coast in Virginia, the interior is lovely. Southern · Virginia, central, eastern and northern Virginia take no back seat to any state in . aesthetic appeal.· There seems to be a charm and graciousness exuding from every tum in the road in Virginia. Whether it is an elegant horse farm with whitewashed fences, or a modest hotise in the more remote southern area, Virginia offers a lot. 1 While I've always thought Virginia was beautiful, I never realized how extensive the beauty ..,;as until my husband, George, and I hiked through the southern mountains. There is something very genteel and )ovely ahout the green pasturcs .&f\d steep hills that appeat well-manicu~. The mountainous areas where the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge 'Parkway run are equally beautiful in summer or winter and I can only imagine the colorful, foliaged splendor of autumn. The mountain laurel was blooming one early summer when we drove through the Blue Ridge mountains. The blooms appeareP . like delicately-colored pink cotton candy. Rhododendrons and flwne..:olored wild azaleas were in the Virginia forests, .also. Hiking in the late spring with the 5cent of azaleas in the air was a treat I'll never forget. This winter we drove tlu-ollgh the Virginia mountains s.urrounded by snow and later in a silver thaw; it was spectacular. · In reminiscing about Virginia, it brought to mind the pristine forests of Oregon and Oregon's other beautiful sights. According to visitors and photographs, the Columbia River Gorge, just east of Portland, has some of the finest scenery in the world. The_ vivid dark blue and turquoise colors seen in Crater Lake surrounded by evergreens and breath-taking rock walls make that park a .tourist's dream. Oregon's coastline and beaches are some of the most photographed in the world. Beth otegon and Colorado have snow..:apped mountains durirlg all twelve months. George and I have been snowed upon in both July and August in the Colorado mountains. If hiker.; are unprepared, it makes hiking there (jangerous from the threat of hypothermia. By far the biggest danger in hiking iq the Rockies is from thunderstorms, though. I have talked with hikers who have been.caught above timberline during a lightning stonn. The experience can humble the most daring hiker. . While I still have five st;~tes I've not visited (and some I have not toured very much), they all have their own particular beauty. One of my very favorite states, and one I've spent a lot of time enjoying, is Arizona. My mother lived there for several years, in two areas, and my son graduated from college in Tucson (U of AZ). Yes, I love the desert, and the mountain ranges in the back.ground are truly majestic. Arizona has its own quiet beauty: I've seen spring rains tum the desert floor into . l Stepfather comes between mother, daughte a carpet of wildflowers.

Well, I'm neither the wife nor the mistress. I'm the adult child. Mom was a trusting, kind-hearted woman, but she had lousy luck with men. She raised all her children mostly by herself. Her fin>t husband beat her for eight years. H• ,ccond husband stole her hard-earned Sllvings and spent it. Her fmal marriage to "Jimmy" was also a disaster. He was openly unfaithful and left her for another woman . Jimmy was good to me, and we have always kept in touch. My husband and I hoth enjoy spending time with him and my mother knows this. She constantly asks questions about him, such as, "How is Jimmy doing? Is he happy? How's his girlfriend?" I find it hard to lie, so I tell her, "He is just fine, and yes, I think he's happy." She then becomes upset and tells me what a rotten husband he was and· how he mistreated her, .!b4 ! tonno~y ot • KATHI BROWNELL AND MICHAEL VAN METER ,, Brownell-Van Meter of the University Rio Grande with a ~ GAU.IPOLIS •• Dean and Karen J!rownell of Gallipolis announce the bachelor of science in social work. engagement and ·approaching mar- She is a licenSed social worker at nage of their daughter, ~thi Lynn, Woodland Centers in Pomeroy. t~ : Michael R.

If you buy propane for one year fr6m our competitor at 59.9¢ and pay .$1,200 to buy the tank (which is required to get ·the price of 59.9¢) you will have $1 ,559.40 in your propane for the first year if you use 600 gallons. This equals to paying over $2.59 a gallon for your propane instead of 59.9¢. If you use 900 gallons of propane under the same program, you would have spent $1,740 which equals $1.93 per gallon.

More than 800 people attended Thursday night's black-tie affair at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where friends such as Norm Crosby, Phyllis Diller, Sid Caesar and Tom Poston took turns poking fun at the 92-year-old Hope. The language-mangling Crosby pronounced Hope "an insulation to all of us, and he certainly deserves to be raised to a' pimx:hle." Hope's wife, Delores, said the roast was particularly poignant because of the i'CCent deaths of George Bums and Gene Kelly. God "must want us around for something," she said.

RECOVERING FROM DOWNSIZING- Paul Bernels, II computer software executive who lost his job after 21 years with Com•here Inc., reflllcted on the effect of corporate downsizing. aerneie lives In Ann Arbor, Mich., with hie wlfa·&ulle, and daughters Allx lind Torey. (GNS) share- that's what bas gotten out of whack." Downsized workers like Berneis, their loyalty to employers irrevocably shaken, often find they cannot malch the pay and benefits they once enjoyed. "Growth creates winners and losers," wriles Robert J. Samuelson in "The Good Life and its Dis· contents: The American Dream in the Age of Entitlement, 19451995." "It revokes status. It undermines tradition. It disrupts setiled way's and compels people (and institutions) to alter comfortable habits. It generates insecurity." Comshare employees, accustomed to high-paying computer jobs, learned the lessons of downsizing when the computer software company trimmed 400 jobs from its I, I 00 work force. The Detroit News interviewed Comshare extc· utives , employees and former employees for an inside look at corporate downsizing. Five years ago, Comshare missed a titanic shift in how major corporatio~s use computer technology. The move to networked personal computers from large mainframes caught Comshare execu· tives by surprise and deep in debt. Sales dropped 22 pertent to $96.6 million in fiscal 1994 from $124.2 million in fiscal 1991. Earnings evaporaled: A $6.3 million profit in 1991 became combined losses of $12.8 million over the nexl two years. Long-term · debt jumped 327 percent in one year to $17.1 million. "We didn't respond fast enough to changes that were happening in the industry," said T. Wallace Wrathall, promoted toComshare's chief executive in April 1994 after 16 years as chief financial officer. By the end of 1991 , Comshare executives had little choice: downsize and shift strategic direction, or die. For a company that already had remade itself twice since its founding in 1966, the decision was easy. The process was not. "There's no good way to do it," said Comshare Chairman Rick Crandall, who engineered the 1992 and 1993 waves of layoffs before stepping aside and promoting Wrathall. As chief financial officer, Wrathall said he saw employees "mostly as a cost.". But as chief executive, "I felt a personal responsibility to them." In July 1994, three months after succeeding Crandall, Wrathall spent what he called "a zero-sleep nigh!" pondering his firs! wave of layoffs. " I was afraid of a downward spiral," he said. "At the end of th~t night, I knew it was the right thing and it had to be executed. If we hadn't done that, we wouldn:t have the success we have now." Added Crandall: "You feel ter· rible. There's tremendous presSure; there's anguish." There's also explaining the contradictory practice of hiring new workers even as longtime employees are terminaled. "Technology is changing so fasl thai people who used to be valuable because of their experience are not as valuable as younger people, " Crandall said.

Asphalt commonly used to pave driveways is the same as that used for roads and walks. It's a type of concrete in which graded aggregate, such as small stones or gravel, is held together by an extract of crude petroleum rather than cement. .Asphalt is more flexible than concrete made with cement, but it's more vulnerable to the effects of water seepage and frost and needs periodic maintenance and repair. Protect your blaclctop driveway from cracks and stains by sealing it. Use an emulsified asphalt or coal-tar sealer available at hardware, home or building supply stores. Sealing should be done every two or three years- or annually, if the driveway gets a lot of wear. Sealing will also restore the appearance of the drive after repair work. Check the weather forecast beforehand. There snould be at least two days of dry, warm weather following the completion of the sealing. A sudden rain may wash the wet sealer away. Blacktop maintenance and repair is best done in warm weather (over 60 degrees Fahrenheit) when asphalt materials are more malleable and when the materials set more rapidly.

Government sues alleged river polluters . . , WASHINGTON (AP)- The Jus, ti.ce Dej'lanment filed a multimilliondollar lawsuit Friday against eight mining companies, alleging they caused e~tensive ·environmental damage to a 1,500-square-mile' river basin in northern Idaho. The civil complaint filed in U.S. District Coun in Boise. Idaho, alleges that the companies discharged more than 70 million tons of mine wastes into the Coeur d'Alene River and its tributaries as pan of operatiOns dat • ing back nearly a century. The lawsuit asks that the compa, nies be required to restore the river and the surrounding basin. It would be one of the largest ~nvironmental restoration programs ever ordered by the governme.nt under federal envi, ronmenlal laws. "The most accurate estimate of the cost at this point is around $600 million," said Justice Department spokesman Bill Brooks. ., NOTICE TO IIIDDIRS BTATaOI' OHIO TIWIII'ORTAtiOH ''""I &LIWI · . . . ._ ...

ASARCO called the government's claims "invalid, saying it had resolved environmental damage claims through a 198S agreement with the slate of Idaho. Under the pact, ASARCO said it has helped fund a $4.S million trust fund that is being used to restore the basin. The action stems from decades of mini~g for ·a variety of minerals including silver, gold, copper and lead in the Coeur d'Alene River VaJ, ley in northern Idaho. One section of the so-called Bunker Hill mining area now is a Superfund toxic waste site. "It is critical that those who dam, age our environment with years of mining activity, not the American taxpayer, pay the cleanup costs," said Lois Schiffer, assistant auorney general for environment and natural resources. local Oiatribu tora hlp Doubling Work Forc1 1 10 Poalllona Avail , - II Chtdl TileallnconiMtst FrN Training Pr_.,.t Excilino Vacallonat Exn Hours Awiablel Wanted . to Buy Uaed Mobile $SXl For w...

On Friday, the Dow Jones indus, trial average rose 9.76 to 5,636.64. The Dow added S1.67 for the week, which began with a 98.6J..point surge Monday to a record 5,683.60.. But fund inflows are declining, though admittedly from extremely high levels. The Investment Company Institute, the mutual fund trade group, tenllltively pegged net inflows into global stock mutual funds at $21 billion in February. Final figures are due out this coming week. That is very high - more than twice the_monthly average of $10 biJ, lion in 1995'. But it is still down 28 percent from January's aJI,Iime high of $29 billion. And Brown points out that in the recent past. surges of new money into equity funds have pre, ceded a peak in market valuationsand did not continue to spin them higher. . In addition, despite the clambering . into stock funds, households are still 'selling more stocks than they are buy, ing, Brown notes. According to the Federal Reserve, mutual fund· managers bought more than $57 billion of equities in the first half of 199S (the most recent data available). But households sold $84.4 billion of stocks during the same period. Some of those proceeds are surely going into stock mutual funds, Brown says. Still, "households have been (net) liquid~ting their equity holdings since the mid-1950s. Private pension funds have generally reduced their equity holdings since the mid1980s," Brown writes .

Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot say their message will be heard in November, even if it huns a major-pany candidate. "Both panies are very scfi ous about not wanting anybo<ly 16 'disturblhlf sllilus·quo," Perot said today. Buchanan says he Wllllls to support the Republican nominee almost cenainly Sen. Bob Dole but only if the GOP convention in San Diego this ltlmmer welcomes his legions of conservative supponers. And Nader says he doesn't care if his candidacy hurts President Clinton in California or elsewhere, because "he deserves it." Perot, appearing on the morning talk shows this morning, blamed Republicans for not completing their "Contract With America" and Democrats for not fulfilling Clinton's promise to balance the budget. "I think both panics are very serious about not wanting anybody to disturb the status quo," Perot said. "II is human nature to maintain the stalus quo and resist change until after a crisis occurs." "' Both panics now are bought and paid for by !he special interests," Pcrol said . He said Republicans and Democrats "claim they would bal-' ance the budget. ... But we don 't even have a budget for !his year. We have train wrecks, government shutdowns and stunts," he said. ''You can't bring lhese folks home by simply telling them to shut up and be good soldiers and get on board." Buchanan said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. If he and his backers are locked out of the convention, " I don't sec how we beat Bill Clinton." Buchanan, who has been toying with the idea of running as an independent, said he hoped to avoid that. . "If you move in thai direction, whal you are saying in·effect is goodbye forever to the Republican Party," he said. "It is irredeemable and you'd be working for its defeat. And I think the heart and soul of the Republican Party arc solid and good." He said he would .fight any Dole move toward what he call~;.d "Rockefeller Republicanism" by choosing such moderates as retired Gen. Colin Powell or New Jersey Gov. Chrisline Todd Whitman as his running mate. House Speaker New! Gingrich said that Buchanan will not play a significant role at the Republican convention in August.

Ninety-live · percent of them are white men. . · · Similar examples can be found on the state's payroll, according to an analysis of stale records between 1990 and 1995 by .The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer.

Five percent had no listed race . Aboul 12 percent of Ohioans arc members of minority groups. Melllllie Mitchell, the stale's director of minority affairs, said the pay disparily is moslly due to longevity - people who have worked for the state for a number of years make more than new hires. • For example. a person hired as a secretary could get step pay increases every year, Therefore, aflcr 10 years on the job, such an employee would make significantly more than someone newly hired.

"It's polilics that does n01 inure to the benefit of either the White House or Congress. We look silly." Kasich , " speaking on NBC's "Mee1 the Press, " said House Republicans want to inclupe medical savings accounls in a bill now taking shape in Congress, but not at the risk of stalling a bill that guarantees workers ' rights to health insurance. Sens. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan., and Edward Kennedy, D-Mass .• are pushing a narrowly drawn bill to ensure that people who lose or change their jobs get health insurance, even if they have pre-existing conditions. "We will n01let a medical savings account destroy the ability to pve people the portability and eliminate pre-existing conditions," Kasich said. The basic bill has bipanisan and White House suppon, and Kasich promised that Congress would pass il this year. The bill is due to come up for a House vote this week. But there has been concern that enactment could be thwaned by House GOP effons to attach other provisions, including creation of the medical savings accounts. Patterned on individual retirem~nt accounts, they would provide catastrophic health care coverage lllld savings for self-paid routine health expenses. Supporters say such accounts would draw young, healthy people who now don't buy health insurance. Critics say they wo~ld drive up overall health insurance costs by encouraging healthy people to leave existing risk pools. On related matters, Kasich said the GOP-run Congress plans to pne.sent Clinton several bills - including anOther balanced budaet plllll and welfare-overhaul lepslation - that coulil prompt presidential v~toes and become an issue in the election campaign. If the Republicans send Clinton a balanced budget bill like the one he rejected last year because it cut Medicare spending increases by $270 billion, "then obviously they will face the same veto," Panetta said. He again urged Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, the cenain Republican presidential nominee, and other GOP leaders to use the "window of opportunity" before the campaign gets into full -swing to reach agreement on a balanced budget and oth. er key legislation. But Kasich said there was little chance the two sides could find common ground on a balanced bll!lget that satisfied Republican insistence on fundamental changes in the way government operales. · "We've got to do this right and hopefully this November we' II get the lineup in place so that instead of having this bill vetoed we'll have it signed," he said. .. year: " Gingrich, R-Ga .. said in Orlando, Fla. ·:Bob Dole will be the Republican nominee ."

Nader, the longtime champion of auto safety and other consumer issues, is running unopposed as the Green Pany candidate in Tuesday's Ca)ifomia primary. Pollsters warn that Nader, by winning just a small percentage of the California vote in November; could t1p the balance in that crucial slate and have a devastating effect on Clinton's re-election bid. White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta told CNN's "U!te Edition" that Nader's candidacy "basi!:ally · banns rather !han helps the issues he says he cares about."
