In an ABC News poll released Mlmday. 55 percent of those polled thought Clinton should be censured or reprimanded. while 40 percent opposed that slep. A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll said 41 percent favored a congressional resolution disapproving of the pre sident 's behavior, while 24 percent favored impeachmem and 32 percent favored laking no fonnal action. In a Newsweek poll taken Thursday and Friday. people were di\'ided about whether Congress should censure or reprimand the president. with 45 percent supporting such a step. The president's job approval ruling remained above 60 percent in all three polls. The public has two views of the president. as renecled in lhe polls. supporting his job performance bul not finding him trustworthy about personal matters. While lwo-lhirds in the ABC poll said Clinton was nol trustworthy personally. ihe same number said Ihey lrusl hin1 lo handle the nation "s business.

House Speaker JoAnn Davidson said that returning the surplus lo taxpayers was sound budgeting, and lhe stadium was a local issue, deemed important by Cleveland residents. Davidson was the state's first witness in whal is expected lobe a twoweek hearing in Perry County Common Pleas Court. where poor districts filed a lawsuit against the funding system in 1991. Last year, the Ohio Supreme Coun ruled the system unconslilulional because of a disparity in the amount of money going lo rich and poor schools. Judge Linton Lewis is trying to decide whether the state has done enough since then to fix the problem. The case is expected to return lo the Supreme Coun for a final resolution.

Roush Crazy days are back again The Daily Sentinel ' By ian Shoeles When I was a kid. one Saturday each August was set aside for local merchants, so they could move goods from inside their stores to tables on the sidewalk. Clerks would move outside too, and put on clown noses, or set their hair in zany . p•gtails, or paint big red freckles on their cheeks. Prices were marked down, of course. In small town , America, when clown-white meets retail it means bargains. Even though it only OCCU!fed one Saturday per year, thJS pseudo-holiday was called "Krazy Daze." A plea of insanity is often used by merchants to entice customers. Guys named "Crazy Eddie .. want us to come in and buy a stereo. Car dealers inform us that their prices arc so low, they're INSANE!

Nevertheless. he was sentenced lO I 0 yem in a federal penitentiary with no chance of parole for serving as translator for a Spanish-speakmg friend selling drugs to a buyer who turned out to he an undercover agent The sentence shocked him and spurred his lawyer, Deborah Persico. to spend the next five years giving other teen-agers the straight dope on the legal consequences of drug involvement. "That's the jaw-dropper," she said. "When I tell kids that aiding and abetting a felony is itself a f~lony and may draw the same punishment. I always get the same astonished reaction." Since 1993, Persico has been stunning students at high schools in and around the nation's capillll with hour-long presentations rumed at puncturing misconceptions. "These kids had no clue whatsoever." she said. "I figured someone needed to tell them how an act they might consider minor could have very serious repercussions." Persico uses members of her audiences in role-playing sk1ts to get across her major points: -Mandatory sentences apply even to first-time offenders. -You can he convicted of possession with intent to distribute even if you never laid hands on the drugs. -You can be convicted of drug-trafficking for merely referring customers to a seller. -Giving a known drug dealer a ride or hosting a pany where others sell drugs can result in your prosecution. -Such offenses can be felonies and result in long prison sentences, depending on the type and quantity of drug ;nvolved. "I'm trying to reach the kids on the edge- some whose friends are dealers or those toying with the idea of making some fast money ilkgally," Persico said. "Some just think the drug scene is cool. 'These are tht kids I think I'm reaching. maybe helping them not fall off the edge." .

It's one thing to speculate about the president's private life with friends : to make jokes about the Oral Office or wonder -- as I always have -- if Hillary has a lover of her own stashed away somewhere. But it's entirely different to watch the president of the United States admit that he did indeed have an "improper relationship" with a woman.closerto his daughter 's age than his own. Even though none of the information in his address was surprising, it was still i·neredibly sickening to watch. Part of my dissust is, of course, aimed at the president himself. ~:.- .., ."#.

By Sara Eckel When I first heard that Prcsident Clinton was suspected of having had an affair with a former White House intern, I was neither scandalized nor particularly con cerncd about the president's future . "h will slide off him," I told a - friend . It's a cy nical view, but let's face it: Lots of presidents have cheated on their wives. I find this fact wholly unsurprising .. I believe the theories proffered by evolutionary psychologist s. who say the same drive thai propels a man to seek the most powerful office in the world will also compel . him to have "relations' with a lot of women. It 's a Darwin thing. I was also never panicularly disturbed by Clinton's sleaziness. Sleaziness is pan of heing a politician; the system seems fine-tuned to weed out the honorable and the just. It's not that you can 't rise to high office without being scummy, but morality makes it a lot harder. .

Workers of the Alan Stone Co. of Chesterhlll.are placing approxImately 48,000 cubic yards of stone along the riverbank to shore up an old retaining wall. Work on the $1,132,984.85 project should be completed by Nov. 15. Middleport residents (Continued from Page 1) Middlepon in the area in question. as well as two other business owners, commented that targeting businesses, such as a pool hall open to teenagers. is not the answer to the problem. "The problem is with the adult parents of these children," Manin said. Martin said that she has witnessed illicit drug activity involving adults in the downtown area. Bob McClure, who operates McClure's Family Restaurant. said that he feels that the village's new curfew ordinance. designed to curb loitering and other problems with juvenile<, is unfair to "good" children. and commented that the ordi nance could affect the opemtion of the village's parks, especially during the fall and winter months when dusk comes early. Police Chief Bruce Swift said that the curfew ordinance is not in effect yet, saying that it will be effective 30 days after the ordinance wa~ passed . but said that council may be required to approve some changes in the language of the ordinance upon the advice of village attorney Linda Warner. Honon said that the purpose of the ordinance was to "put in some teeth" so that the village police department can eliminate problems with loitering and disruptive behavior. "We're trying to get. alcohol and drugs out of this town as much as possible," Honon said. Public participation included questions about the enforcement of ongoing yard sales in the village. particularly one on Nonh Third Avenue which has been in progress for over a month. A resident noted that participants in the sale were setting up lawn chaiN in the village street and that clothes lines had been strung between two village street signs. Craig commented that trash and weeds are growing on the sides of the village street<. creating an eyesore. Kathy Baker discussed repairs of the bricks surrounding a water leak on Garfield Street. She said that the leak had not been repaired in over a year and that while the bricks on the street had been replaced, the water leak was still a problem. Council also: • Approved a transfer from the general fund of $2.000 to the recreation fund lor pool operations and $3,000 from the general fund to the water improvement fund : Present were Horton, Council members Raben Pooler, Steve Houchins, Rae Gwiazdowski and Beth Stivers. and Clerk Bryan Swann.

Mike Shanahan woke up on the morning of his 46th birthday Monday with a new seven-year, guardnteed contract that will pay him more th~n $2.4 million this sea.,on. By the end of the ,day. his Denver Broncos had defeated the Green Bay Packers 3431. Lest the Broncos head coach get too elated, however, he noted that his wife "still told me to take out the garbage this morning." With the Mile High Stadium crowd at midseason volume and both teams playing with the son or intensity you'd expect of Super Bowl opponents. the Broncos beat the Packers on Monday night for the second lime in seven months. Denver, which won 31-241iL,tJanuary. prevailed in the rematch thanks to Ja.,on Elam's 49-yard lield goal with 3:10 remaining. "II wa.' a linle bit more than just a normal presea.o;on game." Shanahan said. Quarterback John Elway agreed. "We knew going in this would be more than a presea.o;on game,.. he said. "We wanted to take a step for- ward because we knew the Packers were a good team. too. The crowd was really into it. You don't get crowd noise like that in the second half of a preseason game." The Broncos (3-0) built lead' of 21-10 and 28-17 in an otherwise evenly played game that saw each team's defense and special teams score touchdowns . Elway and Brett Favre dueled to a near standotT. ~ach throwing a touchdown pass in the first half. Elway. who played only the first half for the Broncos. completed 13 of 22 pa..ses for 179 yards. Favre. whose stint lasted through the first series of the third quarter. wa.' 13-of23 for 155 yards. While Shanahan said he ""saw great effort out there in all three phases of the game." Elway complained about the state of Ia.'! sea.,on·s toprated offense after three presea.-;on games. "We haven't put enough points on the board." Elway said. "We made some big plays. but we're not hilling on all cylinders. We've got a ways to go." The Packers (2-2) continued to be plagued by penalties. They had 31 in their first three games and another II Monday night "It takes momentum away from us,"" coach Mike Holmgren said. "You don't have a chance of winning against a good football team like the Broncos with that many penalties. It's just too hard. Right now. we're a pret· ty sloppy football team . "I thought our first defensive team did a great job. They gOI a bomb on us. but that was an excellent play by John and the receiver. On offense, we were trying to establish the run . We want Travis Jervey to carry the ball."" Jervey. subbing for the unsigned Dorsey Levens. had only 18 yards on 13 carries. Elam's 35-yard lield goal gave Denver a 31-24 lead with II :01 remaining. but the Packers. behind backup quarterback Doug Pederson, tied it with 6:53 left. Pedersnn drove the Packer> . to Denver's 37 hefnre the marrh 'tailed and Sean Landeta punted. Geurge Coghill fumbled the punt. and Mike Prior recovered at the Denver 17. After Pederson's 16-yard pass to Bill Schroeder. Raymont Harris scored from the I. Rooki~ Brian Griese helped move the Broncos in position li>r Elam's winning kick with a )4-yard Pil'-' to tight end Byron Chamberlain. The Packers scored just 44 seconds into the game when safety ~Roy Butler intercepted a tipped pass and returned it 30 yards for a TO. Midway through the first quarter, Elway hit Rod Smith on an SO-yard scoring pa.~s. Smith gain~ separation from cornerback Craig Newsome and caught Elway 's pass at the Green Bay 40. Late in the quaner. Broncos defensive end Marvin Wa.<hington stripped Jervey of the ball. and safety Tyrone Braxton rdn 7 yards with the fumble for a 14-7 lead. After a Green Bay field goal early in the second quarter. q-mien Gordon camped under a punt and. sprung by blocks from Dwayn~ Can; well and Detron Smith. dashed 65 yards for a 21-10 l~ad. Favre pa.,sed II yards to Derrick Mayes for a touchdown with I :07 left. making it 21-17 at halftime. Bubby Brister. replacing Elway in the third quarter, went 6-of-7 for 58 yards on a 74-yard. 13-play ma"h that culminated in l.lerek Loville's 1yard TD run. On the ensuing kickoiT. however.

"We've still got a ways to go. but it's there for us," Giants manager Dusty Baker said after Caner· s tworun homer helped the Giants beat the Aorida Marlins 7-4 Monday. With New York losing 9-5 to Arizona and Chicago dropping a 12·3 decision to Houston, the Giants' victory tightened up the wild-card race. The Giants are two games behind the Mets, one behind the Cubs. "A 101 of people were counting us out and looking at the Cubs and Mets, but !he guys on this team don't quit," said Baker, whose team begins a big three-game series with the Mets tonight at 3Com Park. Said Baker of the series: "You don't want to put 'huge' on it h's important and exciting:" Elsewhere in the Nl., it was Atlanta 4. Los Angeles 3: Cincinnati 8. Montreal I: Colorado 3.

The maestro, as he is known by the other members, is Mr. Playbeuer •· but perhaps he should have been called Mr. Playbest as supposedly he had never made a card-play error; We also met Mrs. Rougcnoir (French for red-black), and today 's deal features Mr. Dcuceace. He was in four hearts. West led the diamond ace, then switched to the club queen . How would you have conlinucd in Deuceace's place? As North is allowed to raose with a weak hand over a takeout double, Deuceace received a particularly good dummy from Mrs. Niceways. However, declarer was looking at four potential losers: two spades (given West's takcoul double, the spade finesse was surely going to lose), one diamond and one club. Instead, Deuceace called on the power of dummy's dazzling diamonds (and. not those on Mrs. Niceways'left hand'). After winning trick two wilh dummy's club ace. Deuceace called for the diamond 10. When East played low. declarer discarded his remaining club. West. Mrs. Rougenoir. won with the jack and lried to cash a club trid. but Deuceace ruffed and drew trumps ending in the dummy. Now came the diamond nine, on which declarer ditched his low spade. West was welcome to her third diamond trick, bu1 Deuceace claimed the remainder. The diamond eight was established, on which declarer would throw his spade queen. And 1here was a dummy entry in the remaining trump. Watch those spots! 2281y 12 Eyelid PI obllm East Pass Pas• Dbl.

Actually, you've saved two lives. A few months ago. you printed a column from a mother who told how her son's skin melanoma had gone undetected by his doctor Unfortunately, the young man died as a result of the doctor's apathy. In your response, you pleaded with your reading audience to have all unusual or new moles checked out at once by a dermatologist. For as long as I could remember, I'd had two very dark and odd-looking moles on my back. The day that column appeared, I called my internist for an appointment. To make a long story short, the two moles were cancerous, and I have si nce had the necessary surgery to remove them along with the surrounding affected skin tissue. This experience prompted my husband 10 check out a normal-looking but fairly large mole, which he had the doctor remove from his foreann. It also turned out to be malig- from becoming an orphan.

The daughter had been We would like to thank you, Ann, especially on behalf of our 3-yearold daughter, whom you have kept badly injured, and the; medical bills completely drained their limited financial resources. As a result of that fire, the family was left with no home, no clothes, no furniture and no hope. The sad thing is that no one, including the family 's pastor, knew that help was available from the American Red Cross. As a Disaster Action Team volunteer with the Red Cross in Dallas, I'm always astonished at how few people know we're there. Most people think of the Red Cross only in terms of huge disasters such as Ooods, fires, hurricanes or tornadoes that wipe out entire towns. They don ' t realize we are also there for personal disasters. Time is of the esscm:c, so get mov· in g. I love my readers and don't want to lose any. tions..

Starting thi s week, WVU 's IS chapter houses are phasing out alcohol. By the 2000-2001 school year, they will be booze-free. At Kentucky's campus in Lexington, offi cials banned alcohol from oncampus undergraduate housing , including the school's fraternities. Sororities and undergraduate dormitories have been dry for years. "Personally, I WISh they didn't do it," said Jeremy Nalli. a junior and president of UK's Kappa Sigma chapter. "But 1f that's the way it comes down. we 're going to enforce it." The dnve to ban alcohol took on added importance with the akohulrelated deaths of students last year at the Massac husetts Institute of Technology and Louisiana State. Kentucky is one of nine universities that have adopted alcohol-free housing. according to the lndianapolis-ba,ed National Interfraternity Conference. which represe nts 66 national fraterniti es. The others are Rhode Island , Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma State, Utah State, Northern Arizona, Colorado and Washington State. GRADUATED WITH HONORS Penny L.

State, coalition lay out cases for, against school-funding plan By PAUL SOUHRADA Anoclated Preu Writer NEW LEXINGTON - Slowly, state legislative and education lead· ers have begun telling a judge that they've done enough to make Ohio's school-funding system fair. During the first two full days uf testimony. they reviewed in minute detai I the money and mandates they've given to schools in the 17 months since the Ohio Supreme Court ruled the system unconstitutional. They are trying to convince Perry County .Common Pleas Judge Linton Lewis Jr. thai the system has been lixed enough to make it fair to rich and poor districts, and has taken some of the burden ofT of property taxes. The hearing is e~pected to take rwo weeks. A coalition of more than 5()() of the state's 611 districts sued in 1991 to lix the system. They continue 10 say that not enough ha.' been done. On Tuesday, Sen. Robert Cupp, RLima, the No. 1 ranking Senate member. denied that bottom-line concem' played a role in determining the per-student cost of an education. Cupp said legislators over 1auled the system. mised academic standards. provided more money to repair or replace unsafe s<:hool buildings and improved districts' money-handling ski lls. Schools Superintendent John Gall said there is more attention to academic improvement and taxpayer conCI!rns. Lind,mith also produced copies of analyses the nonpanisan Legislative Budget Ollice developed to compare per-pupil spending. Cupp said he had not seen the budget ollice reports until after lawmakers calculated the cost of an education at $4Jl63 per student. The consultant, John Augenblick of Denver. said it 'hould be $4.~69 . Lawmakers also provided more money than Augenblick proposed li>r some items outside of basic aid payments, such as transportation, gifted education and vo<:atiunal_programs. "We really weren't shtx>ting for a bare-hones minimum in thi,, " Cupp added. He said the coalition\ way of figuring the et"t uf a chi ld 's education was unworkable : identifying 'erviccs, such as all-day kindc~Jarten and 'rnallc:r da~~ s11.~s. lh~n totaling up the costs. He said there are I<K> many variables, such as whether extrJcurricular activities, such :t' band, should he included. Nicholas Pittner. ao attorney representing the districts thai sued. asked Gall' whether the Legislature made uny requests to him ahout lhe costs and benefits of the proposed changes. "I am not aware of any," Gull' said, adding that his staiT may have answered questions. Another coalition lawyer argued that legislators modi lied the lindings of the na<ionally recognized education consultant they hired after realizing last year that his plan woulu cost $1.K billion annually.
