That was the recommendation of insurance actuary David Rubadue. of Employee Benefits Specialists, Worthington. who met with Me igs County Commissioners during the board's regular meeting Friday afternoon. · Rubadue made his annual report to the commissiOQ concerning the wellbeino of the county's se lf-funded insurance program and said the i'Qmmission neech to rai se the leve l of funding fori he insurance program - paid by county offices and their employees- by al least 14 percent.

To lhe conservalives, bent on ending the whole system of federal support for taX -exempt groups with political agendas, it all canes out at the same place. "The government is using taX funds to nourish a network of special interests ... with a direct self-interest in the growth or the welfare state,'' argues a study issued by the conservative Herilage Foundation. . The American Association of Retired Persons traces its roots back qearly 50 years; it was founded 10 seek and provide beallh insurance for the elderly, and was a powerful lobby In the campaign for Medicare, ebacted in 1965.

As to the advisability of buying insurance from your credit card, in my opinion, the answer is no. If you deleimine that you do, in fact, need any of the types or coverage that your credit card offers, I am confident that you could get it from a local provider for far less expense.

People who might not otherwise be accepted because of disabilities or poor health might sneak past the underwriters on these credit card offerings.

The therapy includes two programs, visitation and assisted therapy. "Visitation to the rehab unit by the animal is a welcome break to a long day of therapy," said Program Director Kay Mason, OTR/L, Oc· cupational Therapist "Frequently, patients who have been unresponsive to standard therapy will react to a dog immediately. Many patients will move weakened arms and begin to communicate when allowed to internet with an animal-during assisted therapy." · Mason said, the key to the program is the careful selection, screening and training of animals to be utilized.

Simpson's attorneys with tbe ambiguous declaration that there was "something wrong" with evidence collected at the murder scene. Judge Lance Ito, meanwhile, again warned attorneys that sequestered jurors were nearly tapped. "My impression is that they are tired. I wouldn't say close to the brink, but they're within eyesight,'' Ito said Friday. . During his testimony, Henry Lee pointed to smudges on packaging that held supposedly dry blood samples collected near the slashed bodies of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and ber friend Ronald Goldman. •'Tbere may be reason to explain it,'' said Lee, considered the nation •s top forensic scientist. "I don't know." His testimony is designed to bolster defense theories of evidence tam· pering. The blood sample in question was taken from a drop found near the bodies. Police tests sbow it contains Simpson's genetic markers. Tbe blood was collected on cotton swatches one day after tbe June 12, 1994, murders. The swatches were left to dry overnight in a lab cabinet . .before being inserted into a paper packet, called a bindle. In his experience, Lee said, evidence swatches always dry overnight, an~ it was questionable bow a damp swatch ended up in Simpson's packagmg.

"Having pets on the rehab unit can dramatically change theemouonal state of many pauents, as well as promote participation in the rehab program, which is essential to increase the patients' lcvelofindependence," satd Mason. . The CCI Program was founded in 1975. It was based on the concept of tnumng dogs toass•st people with physical disabilities mher than blindness. The achievements of these first service dogs, and the increased inde· pendence they brought to their human partners, cameat.a time in America's history when people with disabilities were charting new courses for their lives. Instead of being taken care of, they wanted opponunitics to uikc charge of their lives. For hundreds of men, women, and children since then, CCI has opened the door to just such opportunities. With·service dogs as the cornerstone, the CCI program expanded in the 1980's to include hearing dogs trained to alert the deaf or hearing-impaired to the sounds they cannot hear, as well as social dogs for children with disabilities, individuals with developmental disabilities or for any situation wh,ere the supervision of a third pany is required.

"Nell and Kyra have a special bond," said Kathy Lalonde, Nell's mother, who relocated 100 miles south from the Adirondack hamlet · of· Tupper Lake to be ncar her daughter. "Nell responded 10 Kyra right from the start," said Corinna Campbell , occupational therapist and Kyra'sowner. "At first it wasjust something in her face.

Kyra accompanies Campbell to work every day at Hilltop Manor. Their workplace is a private rehabilitation cemer for adults and children with severe brain injuries from acci· dents, child abuse or other tnluma. Campbell devises specific activities for each 'patient to do with the dog to develop Vlll'ious motor and verbal skills: brush the dog, throw the dog a ball, crawl with the.dog on a mat, give the dog commands. "Sometimes patients will refuse to work for a therapist, but they'll do it for the dog," Campbell said.

You bel. "The Tuskegee Air· men," a new HBO movie, is reso!Dlding proof. Laurence Fishburne starS in this intelligent drama about lhe "Fight· ing 99th,' ' the first squadron of black combat fighter pilots and lhe vanguard of nearly 1,000 black fliers. · They overcame institutional and individual racism for lhe right to serve !heir country, and emerged from the war wn:alhed with honor -but little public acclaim. Among them was Robert T. Williams, a decorated member of lhe !DOth Fighter Squadron, part of the all-black 332nd Fighter Group that included the 99th Squadron. He is co-executive producer of "Tuslcegee Airmen,' which will air Tuesday, Aug. 29. Williams was in good company in · the 332nd. The outfit's roster also included Coleman Young, wbo became mayor of Detroit; Gen. Daniel "Chappie" James, who became the nation's first four· star black general; William Cole· man, who became secretary of transportation i·n the Gerald Ford Administration: Percy Sutton, wbo became president of New York . City's Manhattan borough; and Charles Diggs Jr., who was elecled to Congress from Michigan. . .About 450 of the air~en who tralned near Tusl<egee Inslltutt, an all-black school in Alabama, fought over North Africa, Sicily and Europe. They destroyed 260 enemy planes, damaged an add•· tiona! 148 and sank a Nazi destroy· er. No U.S. bomber was shot down while flying !Dlder the JXOleCUon of this fighter group. Sixty-six Tuskegee Airmen were shot down and killed by the Gemums; 32 were captured. But Diggs, years later, recalled the way they had been treated dur· ing !heir tnlining. . Diggs says be was forced as an Army lieutenant to use the back door "colored carryout" of .a Tuskegee restaurant that regularly served German prisoners of war. "That was the shock of recognition for me, tbat an enemy was more welcome than a black,'' Diggs said in a 1972 interview. A monument to the Tuskegee Airmen in Dayton, Ohio, was dedi· cated ipl985. ''We shot down three of the eight German jets that were downed in the entire war," recalls Williams. "You couldn't read one word about it in the white press. You read about it in the black ·press, but not in lhe white pressnot in magazines, not in newspapers." Other achievements, from slnJc. ing the German destroyer wilh SOcaliber machine gWis 10 a perfect record of protecting U.S. bombers from German fighter planes, also went unremarked, he says. Eyen when ~e J!iiO~ earne<l a pres1denual unll Cttauon, main· stream America ignored lhe eeremony, Williams says. So. largely, ha~c; h!st~ books,~ adds . .

(AP)Michigan used a new quarterback, a new coach and some new luck to beat Virginia 18-17 Saturday in the season-opening Pigskin Classic. Freshman quarterback Scott Dreisbach lofted a 15-yard scoring pass to Mercury Hayes as time expired, capping the greatest comeback in MiChigan history and giving Lloyd Carr a winning debut as head .coach. The 14th-ranked Wolverines trailed 17-0 before rallying to beat the No. 17 Cavaliers. One year ago, it was the Wolverines who were defeated on a last-second Hail Mary pass in the south end zone by Colorado. Dreisbach's pass to Hayes, at the opposite end of the stadium, was just as dramatic. , . The Wolverines, who scored on their final three possessions, got the ball back with 2:35 remaining. And they needed it all as they drove 80 yards in 16 plays. Michigan had 12 seconds left when Dreisbach dove fo r a first down at the Virginia IS . Three incompletions later, only four sec· onds remained when Dreisbach took the fourth-down snap and looked left. Finding nobody open, he looked right and lofted a high , arching pass thai Haye s hauled in between defenders Paul London and Ronde Barber in the back corner of the end zone.

'Desperado, ' a shamless ripaff of 'EI Mariachi' ·By PATRICIA BffiBY - · Associated Press Writer • In 1992 a small film came out that was for just $7,000 and told a fresh, witty story about a young singer mistaken for a gangster. "EI Mariachi" quickly became the darling of an-house audiences. Three years later, its director. intlating his budget almost tenfold, has returned with "Desperado," a part sequel, part shameless ripoff of his original bi~ wilh half the cbarl!l and twioe as much blood, guts and gore. . Here's a short inveniOry of ele·. ments from "El Mariachi" grafted on to "Desperado": Both have a mariachi wilh a gentle soul but, remarkably, perfect marksmanship. Both have a .cool druglord (one named "Moco," tbe other "Bucho") sequestered in a luxury estate and tended to by scantily clad women. And both hav.e a beautiful heroine wilh mysterious ties 10 lhe ctruglord wbo offers the mariachi safe haven. Both film sets also are vinual1y identical, since both movies were filmed in the border town of Ciu· dad AclDla, Mexico. Then there are smaller touches director Robert Rodriguez obviously enjoys- the lighting of matches off other people's faces, spent bul· let cases falling to the floor and the distinct clanking sound they make, and the self-conscious edtting of slow motion and rapid scenes.

Meeting time to be announced depending on of entries. By TERRY KINNEY CINCINNATI {AP} - ln. lhe center of the maelstrom that is the Cincinnati Bengals, Jeff Blake is a rare combination of composure and confidence for someone beginning his first full season as a start· ing NFL quarterback. · Blake, 24, inherited the job in the middle of last season when . David Klingler was hurt and rallied the 0-8 Bengals to two consecutive wins. Although Cincinnati finished 3·13 for the third time in four years, many players said they responded to Blake 's decisiveness and playmaking. General manager Mike Brown had hoped to pair Blake with tun· ning back Ki·lana Carter this year, hoping they would complement each other. But with Carter- the $19 million No. I draft picklost with a torn ligament and Klingler out 8·1 0 weeks with a broken · jaw, Blake has had to shoulder all the load. But he 's taking it with the same resolve he's shown since dlciding as a youngster that he was going to play in the NFL. "It's not as hard as people make it out to be," said Blak , who called a team meeting after the Bengals' dismal performance in their second !exhibition game. ' .'I just think in order for us to win as a team, we 've got lo come together as a group of people first and talk about things; you can't go out and try to do it without lalking about it first.'' Players who had trouble acknowledging Klingler as a team leader -especially when he supplanted the fiery Boomer Esiason- look to Blake for leadership. "We have to have a game plan," Blake said, explaining his phi· losophy of inclusion. " We have to talk as a !!roup of people, as a team, and figure out our game plan before we start .. our regular season. It's too late to wait four games into the regular season to do it. You have to do it now." One reason that players respond to Blake is that he is a natural scrambler. Klingler, who se t 51 NCAA passing record' at the University of Houston, never seemed to adapl to the probloms inherent with an . inept offensive line. He was sacked 84 times in three sca~ons , critics said, because he didn't find receivers quickly enough and held the ball too long. Blake, who was sacked 21 times in eight games last season , nonetheless returned the bomb to the Bengals ars~nal , passing for 2,154 yard' in 10 games, Klingler 's best season was 1,935 yards in 14 games in 1993. Blake was drafted by the New York Jets, but in his second seasQn was inactive because of I he trade for Esi~son, and was released last August. By then, former Jet~ coach Bruce Coslet had returned to the Bengals as offensive coordinator and recommended that Cincinnati pick up Blake. Finally, he was in the right place at the right time, which he said is how all the black quarterbacks in the NFL got their breaks. "If you look at the league, there's basically three quarterbacks on each team ... and maybe five or six blacks in the NFL at quarterback," Blake said. "You look at the top colleges and all of them have black quarterbacks. But I don 't know where they're going." Most black quarterbacks convert to other positions. But Blake decided al an early age he would not convert. (See BLAKE on C·6) By BARRY WILNER AP Football Writer For lhe conference of certainty, turn to the NFC. For intrigue, try the AFC. The 49ers and Cowboys really have ruined things for people over there in the NFC. Is there any doubt they'll meet for the fourth slraight time in the conference title game? As for the AFC, there arc a halfdozen' contenders for the right to represent the conference and Jose a 12th straight Super Bowl. Pittsburgh, for instance, was the favorite last season, and outplayed San Diego in the AFC championship game. But the Stcclcrs made just enough mistakes, i~cluding one major oite at the end, and the Chargers streaked into their firsl Super Bowl. The Chargers can score ahd play defense , run the ball and pass it. They also have enough holes to make a return to the big game unlikely. But possible. The Dolphins, building for one more shot at a championship before Don Shula is too old to coach and Dan Marino too pld to play, might have their best team since Shula· Marino lost the 1985 Super Bowl to San Francisco. New England, going agai~st the form of past Bill Parcells teams, has made rapid progress under the coach who won lwo Super Bowls in the other conference. In Drew Bledsoe, the Patriots have the most dynamic young passer ,in the league . The Silver and Black is back in Oakland , and owner AI Davis returns with a strong squad. This bunch won't remind the crazies who kept the faith of lhe glorious Raiders of '60s and '70s, but getting to Tempe next January isn't far· fetched. Cleveland also thinks it is ready for the big leap, something it neve! has made. Skeptics would call it a galactic leap with Vinny Testavcrde at quarterback . The rest of the offense and most of the defense is solid enough. So who will it be? First stop, Pittsburgh . The Steelers still arc smarting from the loss tQ San Diego. They won't forget it until they 'vc clinched a spot in Tempe. "It's still with me ," All-Pro linebacker Greg Lloyd says. " I was upset at lot of people. You 've gol ·to have enough to put lhat club away . Let 's turn it up not just one notch, but I0 notches. " We wc1e like , 'Oh, this team can't beat us.' It leaves a bad taste." And that's bad news for the rest of the AFC. Pittsburgh 's powerful defense, led by the best lincbacking corps in football - lloyd, Kevin Greene, Levan Kirkland and Chad Brown.- and a first-rate secondary is drawing some comparisons with the Steel Curtain of yore. It 's not accurate yet, unless Jhe defensive line suddenly makes major strides . But it is good enough to carry a · conservative attack. Coach Bill Cowher won't let quarterback Neil O'Donnell gamble, instead preferring the running of Bam Morri s, John •L. Williams and newcomer Erric Pegram. The losses of running back Barry Foster and tight end Eric Green will hurt talent-wise, and help in the locker room, where both were divi sive forces. If the Stcelers stumble, they could fall short in the Central. The Brown•.are talking big, as if their first Super Bowl is just around the corner. " That's one of the main reasons I'm here," says star receiver Andre Rison, signed as a free agent, ''tJ gel to the Super Bowl. This team has a chance to go all the way." It also has a chance to be a big flop if il expects tuo much from Testa verde. He has the pass-catchers in Rison, r-.,ichael Jackson and Derrick Al exa nder, and the line is strong. But Vinny still is Vinny albeit an improved version of th~ Tampa Bay Testaverde. Cleveland's defense allowed a league -low 204 points in '94. A repeat performance might be need· ed, and is unlikely .

The Patriots are young just about everywhere, however, and !he keyword still is patience. Bledsoe is the kind of talent who Aikman at the lop of the confer· ence's quarterbacks. But not only is Sharpe gone but so is pass rusher Bryce Paup. The runn ing game is a question and there were so many camp injuries that the Packers were down to four lineback· ers entering their final exhibition. Tampa, which won fo ur straight only to lose the finale for its 12th straight season of double·digit loss· es, signed Harper and got Warren Sapp in the draft after Sapp dropped because of positive drug tests. With Santana Dotson and Eric Curry, he could give the Bucs the pa ss rush they've lacked. But Harper has a knee injury and Dilfer will have his ups and downs. Which means that Sam Wyche may not be around to coach next year, when Dilfer presumably will be ready. New Orleans looks like the best of West' s eastern four. Jim Everett found new· life away from the Rams , Mario Bates looks like one of the league' s better young running backs. and William Roaf leads a good offensive line. But the defense, the strength of the team during Jim Mora 's lO·year tenure , was down last year and remains down. It goes from 3·4 to 4· 3 with Wayne Martin , the best of the linemen, moving from end to tackle, and Eric Allen should shore up the secondary. There aren't enough bod· ies up front and al linebacker to make much difference.

Officials fear the infestation could ,migrate north to the South Plains cotto.n country arouod Lubbock, which is responsible for one-fifth of the country's cotton production. Tbe Concbo Valley outbreak "doesn't necessanly mean it will continue to spread," said Dr. John Jackman, an extension entomologist in College Station. "But it's certainly a possibility, and as you see more and more as you go north, it raises concerns." Fuchs suspects the armyworms' spread through the valley might be the result of an ecological imbalance caused by the battle waged against the boil weevil, another nemesis of cotton plants. A chemical used 10 fight the boil weevil might have destroyed other insects that eat armyworms. The beet armyworm is responsible for .me desbUclion of cotton crops in Tom Green, Runnels, Schleicher and Concho counties over the past 10 days, Fuchs said. Officials say it could cost farmers $50 million. of imports. fn the first half of the year, beef exports were 9 percent higher than the same six months of 1994. Imports, meanwhile, declined by 13 percent, largely because of lower U.S. prices and larger supplies of lower-quality fed beef. seeding mixture to meet yout needs and soil type.

GALLIPOLIS- Yourimageofa savvy investor may be someone who reads The Wall Street Journal every day and carries a portable 1computer for up-tothe - minute stock quotes. But, it's just an image. Reality· is very different With a maJoflly of companies moving away from employer-directed pension plans, towards employee-directed 401 (k) retirement plans, average Americans are encouraged to become proficient investors if !bey want a chance at a comfortable retirement. According to Access Research, a Connecticut firm that tracks 401 (k) trends, 17.5 million Americans now participate in the plans, up from 12 mtllion just five years ago. Assets in 40l(k)s arc expected to grow from about $720 billion now to over $1 trillion by the turn of the century. With !be initiation of 404(c) regulations, employers are urged to offer employees more invest}.llent ·alternatives and provide basic education about the potential risks and opportunitiesofinvesting. At the same · time, these employers must be careful not to position themselves as investment advisers .. It is a difficult situation and presents another compelling reason why individuals must become more knowledgeable about how to invest tbeir retirement savings. Unfortunately, personal finance education .is not as prevalent in opr society as perhaps it should be. Schools do not normally require students to study personal financial management and the majority of adults probably know little more than an elementary idea of how to invest wisely. Here are some 40l(k) investing tips to follow. But, remember, it is always wise to obtain assistance from a professional investment adviser: . Attend your company's 40l(k) enrollment meeting. Your employer will likely offer you a chance to attend an enrollment meeting to learn more aboutyourcompany's401(k)plan.ln that meeting, you should learn how much you'll need to save for retirement and how much your current savings wi!lproduce. It will help you calculate how much money you should be putting into the 401 (k). . Contribute as soon as possible. biggest single in~esunent to date.

At the American Stock Exchange, the market value index gained 2.05 to 530.97. Low mortgage rates helped push up sales of existing single-family homes in July a surprising 5 percent, to the highest level in more than a year, the National Association of Realtors reported .

Taken together, the reports meant good news for bonds and stocks. · Normally, bonds might have · fallen on the home sales report because a growing economy can increase the threat of inflatiOJ1, eroding the value of bonds.

Coffee traders are sensitive to any threat of tighter supplies out of Brazil. where 1995-96 production is estimated at about balf the size of last ycy's crop. . On other commodity markets, lumber futures rose sharply and cattle futures approached a threemonth low . The Commodity Research Bureau's index of 21 commodities slipped 0.08 point to 239.62. Green arabica coffee beans for September delivery rose 3.25 oents on New York's Coffee, Sugar & Cocoa Exchange to $1.536 a pound, the highest daily settlement for near-tenn deliveries since June 15 . Prices zoomed higher on reports Brazilian fanners were having trouble controlling the spread of leaf miner worms. The moth larvae bur· row into leaves and defoliate trees. The pesrwill not reduce the 1995-96 crop, which is nearly barvested, but could affect 1996-97 production, analysts said. "At this point it's much too early to speculate about the impact on the 1996-97 crop, which only starts flowering in a few months' time," Merrill Lynch analyst Judy Ganes said. . The Brazilian winter bas been warmer than usual, making trees more susceptible to the worms and worms more plentiful, according to analyst Steve Platt of Dean Witter, Discover and Co. Coffee futures have risen 33.1 cents, or 27 percent, since July 6 as this year's Brazilian crop size bas come into focus. Earlier this week, the Brazilian coffee brokerage flfiD Woltbers and Associates estimated the crop at .13.15 million 132pound bags, down from 26 million last year. The crop was decimated by two severe frost• in June and July of 1993 that killed a large number of trees . Brazil produces about onethird of the world's coffee. The U.S. Agriculture Depart· ment estimated Brazilian production at 17.6 million bags ear~er this summer. Analysts expected the USDA to reduce that estimate. Purchases of coffee by U.S. roasters are on the upswing as fall and winter - the peale consumption period - approaches.
