Temperatures are expected to be in the single digits at night and well below freezing during the day, meaning residential power demand will be high this week. There is no shortage of power; however, consumer rates can increase if demand sets a new record. Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative urges its members to help the system avoid a peak demand situation by following a few simple energy conservation practices: • Please limit your use of hot water whenever possible. Electric water heater thermostats can be set back a few degrees to save on energy consumption. • Turn back the thermostat of electric heaters/ furnaces a few degrees. • Use only one major electrical appliance at a time. • Reduce lighting. Turn off lights in rooms not being occupied and at bedtime. • Block cracks around window frames or under outside doors to prevent infiltration of cold air. • If you don't have storm windows or doors, cover frames with plastic sheeting. Finally, remember to be aware of electrical and lire hazards at all times.

From left are, Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, obscured , and the president. Bush BY ANDREW TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' WASHINGTON President Bush unveiled a $2.9trillion budget Monday that rewards the Pentagon with a record $50 billion budget hike but pinches procheri shed by grams Democrats. including health research and heating subsidies for the poor. In control of Congress for the first time in a dozen years. Democrats accu sed Bush of trimming domestic programs. using smoke and mirrors to predict a balanced budget in five years and ignoring a hidden tax threat to middle-class families . His $245 billion request for Iraq and Afghanistan has given lawmakers sticker shock. Despite common agreement that something must be done soon about the spiraling cost of benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Bush recommended most!~ modest steps - while refustng to consider tax hikes that could draw Democrats into negotiations. ..There 's a lot of skittishness on both sides about coming to the table:· said Sen. Judd Gregg of New Harnpshi re . the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. "The White House is afraid of taxes and the Democrats are afraid of controlling spending." Democrats went on the attack. "The presidem has simply offered more of the same, proposing a budget that cuts from Medicare and Medica id , while sending $240- billion more in American taxpayer dollars to Iraq.'' said Rep. Rahm Emmanuel , D-Ill. "This is not a tradeoff the Ameri can people want." Bush touted his fis cal blueprint as "protecting the homeland and fighting terrorism, keeping the economy strong with low taxes and keeping spending under control." He said after meeting : with his Cabinet. "Congress · needs to listen to a budget . which says no tax increase. : and a budget. because of fis. cal discipline, that <;an be : balanced in five years ." Bush said $245 billion is needed for military and diplomatic operations in Iraq · and Afghani stan over the next year and a half, bringing total Pentagon funding for the wars to $662 billion. But his budget assumes, at least on paper, that no additional war funding will be needed after 2009. Bush also proposed modest cuts to the rapidly growing Medicare and Medicaid health care prog rams. but failed 10 address chro nic shortfalls in fu ture years that would force painful sacrifices on benefici aries. :nstead. Medicare provider' such as hospital s. nursing homes and home care • • providers would face payment cuts, while higherincome beneficiaries would pay greater premiums. Less ambitious Bush proposals went nowhere when Republicans controlled Congress last year. and the budget process broke down amid election-year acrimony. Health cure providers promised to lobby hard to kill the proposals again. ·TodUy\ bullget is devastating news for children, seniors and the disahled who depend on the Medicare and Medicaid programs," said Rich Umbdenstock, pres ident of the American Hospital Association. "They are being unfairly singled out to carry the burden of achieving a balanced budget." The cuts to Medicaid would come in part from curbing payments to states for administrative costs, ·which advocates for the poor say would force states to pass those cuts on to the poor. Democrats griped that Bush would meet his five year balanced-budget goal by forecasting far higher tax revenues than nonparti sa n cong ressional estimators expect. Hi s budge t predi cts a $61 billion surplus in 2012, but the plan wmdd generate almost $100 billion in red ink that ye;tr ·instead under more cautiou s Congressional Budget Office revenue estimates. White House offil:ial s countered that their estimates are in line with mainstream economists and are pruducell by career prott!ssionals ut the Treasury Department. .. Instead of painting a rosy scenario on re venues to gel to balance, we take a cau- tious approach," said Budget Director Rob Portman. Extending Bush's tax cuts, most of which are to expire in 20 I0. would cost $211 billion in 2012 and $1 .6 trillion over the next decade . according to budget docu· ments. Iraq continues to weigh on the nation 's finam:es. accounting fur well over half of the current year's projected uefi cit of $244 billion . For 2008 . the budget year that begins Oct. I, Bush sees just a slight decline in the deficit to $239 billion. He expects the decline to continue until reaching a surplus in 2012 . three years after he has left offi ce . Democrats challe nged those project ions. contending that Bush would ac hieve a surplus only by leaving out the many bi !lions of dollars CongreS> is ex pected to spend to keep the alternmive minimum tax from ensnaring mtlli ons of middle-d a>S taxpaye r,. His budget includes an AMT fix for j 11st one vear. In-theory. this could be a produr ti ve y<'ar llll the bullget si nce there\ no electiQn. Also, it can be easier to make painful budget choices when there is divided government. That's because it's vinually impossible for one political party to pass politically painful cuts to programs such as Medicare all by itself, but the job can be made easier if both parties agree to make the leap. Thus far. however, there's no sign of that. Bush is focused on Iraq and is sagging in opinion polls. He doesn' t seem inclined to exert much political muscle on the budget, and Democrats won't take the · lead on their own. "The president really does have to play a leadership role and he's got to be wilhng to use up some of his capital," said Bob Greenstein, who heads the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. "And I just don't see it happening in the current environment." Bush proposes to elimi· nate or sharply reduce 141 federal programs totaling $12 billion. But Congress hus ignored these same recommended cuts in the past, including an attempt last year to kill the Commodity Supplemental Food Program , which provides nutritionally balanced boxes of food to about a half-million poor people per month. Democrat s also promised to restore cuts from lowincome heating subsidies, Head Start for preschool children. rural health programs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting by shifting some portion of Bush's big defense hike to domestic programs. In addition, they are sure to again kill many proposed fees such as a medical care enrollment fee on higherincome veterans and higher co-payments for their pre· sc ription dru gs.

In scenes reminiscent of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, residents of Jakarta waded through poor neighborhoods in water up to their necks, or floated on make shift raft s bearin g clothes and other salvaged possessions . Some scrambled onto roofs to await rescue from soldiers and emerge ncy workers in rubber dinghies from floodwaters as deep as 12 feet. Ri sing along with the water was the threat of diseases such as diarrhea and dy sentery. Also increasing were complaints and anger about the response to the tloods hy local officials. "The government is awful.'' said Augustina Rusli, who spent four days on the second floor of her suburban house with her I0month-old baby. "We have a neighbor who is sick with cancer, but no one has come to rescue her." Authorities estimated between 40 percent and 70 percent of the city, which covers an area of more than 255 square miles, had been submerged. Skies cleared Monday and floodwaters receded in some parts of the city of 12 million. Residents of some districts were able to begin cleaning oui their homes, witnesses and media reports said . But Indonesia's meteorological agency predicted more rain in the corning days, and officials warned that more floods were possible because river levels were still high.

The flood conditions were also favorable for spreading malaria, dengue fever and the bird flu virus, which has killed more humans in Indonesia thun anywhere el se, said Bayu Krisnamurthi, the country's leading avian influenza offi cial. Dr. Rustarn Pakaya, from the Health Ministry's crisis center, said nearly 340,000 people had been driv~n from their homes.

Church events Public meetings Birthdays ANNIE'S MAILBOX This boys behavior not under control BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie : A year ago, I moved with my wife and four small children to a community of some 700 residents. Recently, I learned that a local boy has a shoe fetish. He stole a girl's shoe s from her house and was caught gratifying him self over them . I feel sorry for the boy. [llo one chooses to be that sort of person. I also feel sorry for his parents . It must be extremely discouraging to have a son with such an affliction. But the boy is a hefty, strong 18-year-old, and my two girls are I0 and II . I spoke to my girls to warn them not to stay too close to that boy; especially in lonely places and after dark. It turns out the girls in the neighborhood know all about this fellow. My daughters and their girlfriends won't let that young man look at, their shoes, and they throw stones at him if he comes too close. What upsets me is that it's impossible to obtain specific information on how many of these fetishi sts are likely to attack someone ev entually. I want a better understanding of the magnitude of the roblern. Can you help? n Spite or Compassion in Canada Dear In Spite Of: Most shoe fetishi sts obsess only over shoes and related items , and will not harm anyone. However, if the boy is stealing, it doesn't sound as if his behavior is entirely under control. Your girls are wise to avoid him, although they should not be throwing stones . More importantly, someone should talk to the boy's parents and ask if he is getting professional help . Since you sound both sensible and compassionate, we nominate you.

"We are still afraid the water might rise again ," said Jayeng, who uses a single name. The seasonal. torrential rains in Jakarta and the hill s to the south forced ri vers to banks overflow their Thursday. Some resident s initially chose to stay in the upper stories of their homes, expecting the waters to qutckly subside. but as the into disaster dragged Monday, some left for makeshift camps at sehoul' and mosques, or to stay with relatives. Hundreds of thousands of residents remain without electricity and clean water. Landslides and fla sh floods during the wet ~eason kill hundreds in Indonesia every year. and the capital is not immune. but it has rarely - if ever - seen tloods as bad as those in recent days. The high water washed into rich and poor districts alike, inundating scores of markets, schools and husinesses. Environmentalists blame the annual flooding on trashclogged storm drains and rivers, inadequate urban planning, and deforestation of hillsides south of the city, otien to make space for the development of luxury v'illas . Low-lying river areas where thousands of poor people are crammed into shacks made of plywood and metal sheets - are often the most devastated. On Monday, many of these were only accessible by boat .

Bush BY ANDREW TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' WASHINGTON President Bush unveiled a $2.9trillion budget Monday that rewards the Pentagon with a record $50 billion budget hike but pinches procheri shed by grams Democrats. including health research and heating subsidies for the poor. In control of Congress for the first time in a dozen years. Democrats accu sed Bush of trimming domestic programs. using smoke and mirrors to predict a balanced budget in five years and ignoring a hidden tax threat to middle-class families . His $245 billion request for Iraq and Afghanistan has given lawmakers sticker shock. Despite common agreement that something must be done soon about the spiraling cost of benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Bush recommended most!~ modest steps - while refustng to consider tax hikes that could draw Democrats into negotiations. ..There 's a lot of skittishness on both sides about coming to the table:· said Sen. Judd Gregg of New Harnpshi re . the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. "The White House is afraid of taxes and the Democrats are afraid of controlling spending." Democrats went on the attack. "The presidem has simply offered more of the same, proposing a budget that cuts from Medicare and Medica id , while sending $240- billion more in American taxpayer dollars to Iraq.'' said Rep. Rahm Emmanuel , D-Ill. "This is not a tradeoff the Ameri can people want." Bush touted his fis cal blueprint as "protecting the homeland and fighting terrorism, keeping the economy strong with low taxes and keeping spending under control." He said after meeting : with his Cabinet. "Congress · needs to listen to a budget . which says no tax increase. : and a budget. because of fis. cal discipline, that <;an be : balanced in five years ." Bush said $245 billion is needed for military and diplomatic operations in Iraq · and Afghani stan over the next year and a half, bringing total Pentagon funding for the wars to $662 billion. But his budget assumes, at least on paper, that no additional war funding will be needed after 2009. Bush also proposed modest cuts to the rapidly growing Medicare and Medicaid health care prog rams. but failed 10 address chro nic shortfalls in fu ture years that would force painful sacrifices on benefici aries. :nstead. Medicare provider' such as hospital s. nursing homes and home care • • providers would face payment cuts, while higherincome beneficiaries would pay greater premiums. Less ambitious Bush proposals went nowhere when Republicans controlled Congress last year. and the budget process broke down amid election-year acrimony. Health cure providers promised to lobby hard to kill the proposals again. ·TodUy\ bullget is devastating news for children, seniors and the disahled who depend on the Medicare and Medicaid programs," said Rich Umbdenstock, pres ident of the American Hospital Association. "They are being unfairly singled out to carry the burden of achieving a balanced budget." The cuts to Medicaid would come in part from curbing payments to states for administrative costs, ·which advocates for the poor say would force states to pass those cuts on to the poor. Democrats griped that Bush would meet his five year balanced-budget goal by forecasting far higher tax revenues than nonparti sa n cong ressional estimators expect. Hi s budge t predi cts a $61 billion surplus in 2012, but the plan wmdd generate almost $100 billion in red ink that ye;tr ·instead under more cautiou s Congressional Budget Office revenue estimates. White House offil:ial s countered that their estimates are in line with mainstream economists and are pruducell by career prott!ssionals ut the Treasury Department. .. Instead of painting a rosy scenario on re venues to gel to balance, we take a cau- tious approach," said Budget Director Rob Portman. Extending Bush's tax cuts, most of which are to expire in 20 I0. would cost $211 billion in 2012 and $1 .6 trillion over the next decade . according to budget docu· ments. Iraq continues to weigh on the nation 's finam:es. accounting fur well over half of the current year's projected uefi cit of $244 billion . For 2008 . the budget year that begins Oct. I, Bush sees just a slight decline in the deficit to $239 billion. He expects the decline to continue until reaching a surplus in 2012 . three years after he has left offi ce . Democrats challe nged those project ions. contending that Bush would ac hieve a surplus only by leaving out the many bi !lions of dollars CongreS> is ex pected to spend to keep the alternmive minimum tax from ensnaring mtlli ons of middle-d a>S taxpaye r,. His budget includes an AMT fix for j 11st one vear. In-theory. this could be a produr ti ve y<'ar llll the bullget si nce there\ no electiQn. Also, it can be easier to make painful budget choices when there is divided government. That's because it's vinually impossible for one political party to pass politically painful cuts to programs such as Medicare all by itself, but the job can be made easier if both parties agree to make the leap. Thus far. however, there's no sign of that. Bush is focused on Iraq and is sagging in opinion polls. He doesn' t seem inclined to exert much political muscle on the budget, and Democrats won't take the · lead on their own. "The president really does have to play a leadership role and he's got to be wilhng to use up some of his capital," said Bob Greenstein, who heads the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. "And I just don't see it happening in the current environment." Bush proposes to elimi· nate or sharply reduce 141 federal programs totaling $12 billion. But Congress hus ignored these same recommended cuts in the past, including an attempt last year to kill the Commodity Supplemental Food Program , which provides nutritionally balanced boxes of food to about a half-million poor people per month. Democrat s also promised to restore cuts from lowincome heating subsidies, Head Start for preschool children. rural health programs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting by shifting some portion of Bush's big defense hike to domestic programs. In addition, they are sure to again kill many proposed fees such as a medical care enrollment fee on higherincome veterans and higher co-payments for their pre· sc ription dru gs. Congress has rejected both four years in a row. But Bush dropped a much-reviled increase in airline ticket taxes to pay for security screenings. Bush is proposing a few hi gh-profile spending boosts, such as an increase in the maximum Pel! grant for · low-income students. from the current $4,050 to $4,600 . The $15 billion cost over five years would largely be borne by cutting subsidies to lenders issuing student loans. The president's budget also includes an initiative billed as "dead on arrival" by Democrat s - to expand health care coverage to the uninsured. The complex proposal would give every family a $15.000 tax deduction · for purchasing health coverage but would make current employee-supplied health coverage taxable fo r certain taxpaye rs.

"The government is awful.'' said Augustina Rusli, who spent four days on the second floor of her suburban house with her I0month-old baby. "We have a neighbor who is sick with cancer, but no one has come to rescue her." Authorities estimated between 40 percent and 70 percent of the city, which covers an area of more than 255 square miles, had been submerged. Skies cleared Monday and floodwaters receded in some parts of the city of 12 million. Residents of some districts were able to begin cleaning oui their homes, witnesses and media reports said . But Indonesia's meteorological agency predicted more rain in the corning days, and officials warned that more floods were possible because river levels were still high. "I really ho~ the forecast is wrong," sa1d Jayeng, 45, as volunteers handed out patched medical teams on rub ber raft s to worst-hit areas. where doctors treated people fur diarrhea, skin diseases. re,piratory problems and exposure after they had spent days in damp, diny clothes.

Church events Public meetings Birthdays ANNIE'S MAILBOX This boys behavior not under control BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie : A year ago, I moved with my wife and four small children to a community of some 700 residents. Recently, I learned that a local boy has a shoe fetish. He stole a girl's shoe s from her house and was caught gratifying him self over them . I feel sorry for the boy. [llo one chooses to be that sort of person. I also feel sorry for his parents . It must be extremely discouraging to have a son with such an affliction. But the boy is a hefty, strong 18-year-old, and my two girls are I0 and II . I spoke to my girls to warn them not to stay too close to that boy; especially in lonely places and after dark. It turns out the girls in the neighborhood know all about this fellow. My daughters and their girlfriends won't let that young man look at, their shoes, and they throw stones at him if he comes too close. What upsets me is that it's impossible to obtain specific information on how many of these fetishi sts are likely to attack someone ev entually. I want a better understanding of the magnitude of the roblern. Can you help? n Spite or Compassion in Canada Dear In Spite Of: Most shoe fetishi sts obsess only over shoes and related items , and will not harm anyone. However, if the boy is stealing, it doesn't sound as if his behavior is entirely under control. Your girls are wise to avoid him, although they should not be throwing stones . More importantly, someone should talk to the boy's parents and ask if he is getting professional help . Since you sound both sensible and compassionate, we nominate you.

Thought for Today: "If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered." - Stanley Kubrick, American movie director (1928-1999). OPINION . Tuesday, February 6, 2007 As '08 candidates debate (universaf health, let~ cover kids America desperately needs a universal health Insurance plan, but political realities suggest that Congress will move toward it incrementally. The demand for universal coverage , quality Improvements and cost containment is mounting across the political spec trum, and ~very 2008 pre sidential candidate will have to have a plan . The demand is fueled by the steadily increasing ranks of the unin sured, now numbering close to 47 million , continuously rising insurance costs that burden U.S . businesses in global competition and a quality crisis that kills tens of thousands of Americans yearly. But ideological splits between Democrats favoring governmcntdomi nated health care and Republicans emphasizing consu mer-driven cost-containment almost will block certain ly enactment of any plan in the next two years . Instead , Congress and the White House need to reauthorize and expand the State Children's Health In surance Program, and Democrats should give a fair hearing to President Bush's proposal for a standard tax deduction for the purchase of health insurance. After years of funding freezes, Bush\ new budget, out next week, is expected to include a modest increase in SCHIP funding - probably just enough to prevent 1.5 million children from losmg coverage over the next five years because of rising health costs . Bush budget officials would not tell me what their number will be, but health experts say it will cost about $14 billion over five years 10 keep 5 Morton Konc:tlacle million children covered under the program . That still leaves 'J mil lion to 10 million chil dren uninsured - 6 mil lion to 7 million of whom are eligible for SCHIP but are not enrolled main ly because states don't reach out to them . To cover them would cost an additional $50 billion over five years. And to cover all children in families with incomes under $66,000 for a family of three - 1wice the federal poverty line would cost $20 billion on top of that . One top administration official told me that SCHIP is "a train roaring down the tracks that we expect a lot of cars to be a!lached to, " indicating Bush was not prepared to pay the cost. But it's worth noting that Bush not only agreed to - but sponsored - a Medicare prescription drug bill for seniors that will cost ·an estimated $400 billion over five years. Administration officials argue that providing drugs to seniors is a major way of preventing disease and holding down costs. The same argument can be made for preventive care for child"ren, for whom coverage is cheaper than for adults. Moreover, as part of the 2004 Medicare Modernization Act, the adminis tration won authority ·for other steps - suc h as pay-for-perfor- mance experiments and expansion of Medicare HMOs and health savings accounts that contribute to quality improvement and longrun cost savings. SCHIP reauthorization could be used as a vehicle for more reforms from the GOP side, even as Democrats try to expand the program to guarantee coverage for all children and even low -income parents. A number of initiatives to cover all children have been proposed, including one by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., Rep . John Dingell, DMich., ·and a coalition of 16 disparate groups including the liberal Families USA, the conservative U.S. Chamber or Commerce and America's Health ltburan~:~ Plans. A restraint on Democrats' ambitions will be their "pay-as-yougo" requirement that any new spending be offset by savings elsewhere, though last week a Blue Dog Democrat , Rep. Marion Berry (Ark.), and a moderate Republican, Rep . Heather Wilson (N .M.), appealed to the House Budget Commitlee to clear funding to cover children up to 200 percent of poverty. Meanwhile, Bush 's proposal to grant a standard tax deduction of $7,500 per individual or $15,000 per family for the purchase of in surance was declared DOA by Dingell and Rep . Pete Stark, DCalif.. chairman of the Hou se Ways and Means subcommittee on health. It deserves resuscitation and revision - possibly to prcvide for a refundable tax credit to enable more low -income workers to afford health coverage. The main Democratic objection to Bush's plan an alleged " tax increase on the middle class " - could be ameliorated by phasing it in. To pay for the tax deduction, Bu sh propo sed forcing beneficiaries of "gold-plated" employerprovided plans to pay tax on the _ benefit, raisin g Democratic (and trade union) hackles . De mocrats al'o contend the plan will di srupt the employer-based health insurance sy., tem that covers about 75 percent of workers . But the employer-based system already is deteriorating, and even some Democrats such as Sen. Barack Obama (Ill. l - have sugge,ted that it needs to be replaced. Advocates of universal coverage, such as Henry Simmons, president of the National Coalition on Health Care, argue that America can't wait until after the 2008 elections to repair a broken system. He said Bush's plan covers too few of the uninsured - an estimated 5 million and that incremental reform such as SCHIP expansion provides no cost-containment mechanism. He's right, of course. America needs to have everyone covered to bring down the average cost of insurance and keep everyone healthier. But how to deliver that service through the government or the private insurance market , with price controls or consumer choice - is a subject for a pres idential debate. For now, let's cover the kids. ( Mortmt K ondracke is exec11til'e editor of Roll Call, till' new.1paper of Capitol Hill.)

Marcus Butler turned off hi s car's air conditioning and then clicked off the radio. Comforts felt wrong on this drive, this mission of discovery. Among the papers piled on the seal beside him iay a copy of the newspaper classified ad that pulled him here. Occasionally, he picked it up and reread words he knew by heart . "RUN away from the plantations of Mr. Brett Randolph," began the reward notice in the Virginia Gazette of Apri I II, 1771. The words that followed knocked Butler breathless when he first scrolled across them on a library's microfilm reader. Two slaves had escaped and one of them described as about 18, well made, very black, from Africa was named Claiborne. That was Butler's great-great-greatgreat-grandfather. Butler let himself sweat as he drove Claiborne's approximate path of flight across the Virginia piedmont. He imagined him walking at nilJht through the forests, dnnking from streams, evading slave catchers, somehow surviving to allow Marcus Butler and his wife and three children to know a full life six and seven generations later. Butler discovered Claiborne five years into a heart-wrenching, ultimately" inspiring journey through the family tree.

Now he can say things like, "Slaves were taxable property" and "So that's how my people got 10 Mississippi' and "I tell my kids, 'You're living now, you're breathing now, because he ran away and he got away."' In an age when genealogy is high science, and Oprah Win frey lras her DNA analyzed to trace her African roots for television specials, Butler embodies old school sleuthing. He may yet turn to genetic testing to confirm the family's oral history, that his ancestors hail from Guinea, West Africa. But science and Internet searches provide only hints at the human tale. To reveal the story between the genetic markers, Butler cracked open deed books in courthouses throughout the South, met distant kin and read tombstones in forgotten cemeteries. Often, on a hunch, he turned up an unexpected path or tangent, suspecting • something amazing ahead. Eventually, he traced 238 years of a Claiborne in the family. "You can't really appreciate it until you get into it," he said. "This has taken me on a phenomenal adventure." · Butler, 47, has no training as an historian. His masters degree from Kent State University is in international business. But he does possess qualities of the explorer. He's a trim, athletic-looking man who exhibits frequent bursts of energetic curiosity. Describing an episode from the family odyssey, he will leap from his chair to fetch a map, or a tax bill, or a diary entry that may illuminate a detail. He was a marketing manager for Johnson & Johnson when he quit to launch Butler Transportation, a van service he farst envisioned as an undergraduate at the University of Cincinnati. It made him enough money to pursue a time-con suming hobby. On that drive across the Virginia piedmont two >ummers ago, Butler alread y knew a lot about the first African American in the family. Claiborne came on a slave ship in the late 1760s, about the time of Kunta Kinte, Alex Haley's slave ancestor immortalized in "Roots." He was maybe 13. He escaped from Brett Randolph's plantation in Cumberland County on New Years Day 1771. probably making for Richmond, 60 miles east. For when Butler found him II years later, he was living nonh of Richmond with ' an Englishman and his houseservant, a slave named Violet. The slave who ran with Claiborne was caught and killed. Butler speculates that the Englishman took in hi s ancestor and agreed not to expose him in exchange for his servitude. He also believes there was something special about the name Claiborne, a connection to Africa, for it never died. Claiborne and Violet named their firstt.orn Claiborne. He was sold as a young man to a neighbor, Thomas Tinsley. In 2004, Butler drove down to the former Tinsley plantation, now a prosperous farm, and met the greatgreat -great -granddaughter of his ancestor's owner in her 1810 house . Maria Rippe, 65, wa' chill y at first, skeptical of his mottves. But over time. she began to talk 10 him and to help him. "She wa' a' curious about the history as I wa,," Butler said. Genealogy poses a challenge for an yone. but African American' face an especially complex and emotional search . Their people were often property, tagged only with a first name , not eve n counted until the census of 1870. Tracing black ancestors means researching white owner' and accepting practices not widely acknowledged. After years of discoveries, Butler speaks matter-offactly about sensitive history. Often, he fin.c.l s himself softening the unvarnished twlh for the unwary. The Tinsley heirs knew that Thomas Tinsley had gone down to Mississippi for a time to start a cotton plantation. He took with him Claiborne and Fannie, and in Missi '5ippi, Fannie gave birth to two boys. Claiborne Sr. and Melborne. But when young Tinsley returned to Virginia, he brought only Claiborne and Fannie, not the boys. Butler · pieced together the answer and one day presented it to Rippe. The venture failed and Tinsley neetletl money to pay for the stagecoach jOurney home . And, well, he sold the boys. Her face turned white, Butler recalls. He tried to soften the blow as she whispered, '"Noooo."

Thought for Today: "If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered." - Stanley Kubrick, American movie director (1928-1999). OPINION . Tuesday, February 6, 2007 As '08 candidates debate (universaf health, let~ cover kids America desperately needs a universal health Insurance plan, but political realities suggest that Congress will move toward it incrementally. The demand for universal coverage , quality Improvements and cost containment is mounting across the political spec trum, and ~very 2008 pre sidential candidate will have to have a plan . The demand is fueled by the steadily increasing ranks of the unin sured, now numbering close to 47 million , continuously rising insurance costs that burden U.S . businesses in global competition and a quality crisis that kills tens of thousands of Americans yearly. But ideological splits between Democrats favoring governmcntdomi nated health care and Republicans emphasizing consu mer-driven cost-containment almost will block certain ly enactment of any plan in the next two years . Instead , Congress and the White House need to reauthorize and expand the State Children's Health In surance Program, and Democrats should give a fair hearing to President Bush's proposal for a standard tax deduction for the purchase of health insurance. After years of funding freezes, Bush\ new budget, out next week, is expected to include a modest increase in SCHIP funding - probably just enough to prevent 1.5 million children from losmg coverage over the next five years because of rising health costs . Bush budget officials would not tell me what their number will be, but health experts say it will cost about $14 billion over five years 10 keep 5 Morton Konc:tlacle million children covered under the program . That still leaves 'J mil lion to 10 million chil dren uninsured - 6 mil lion to 7 million of whom are eligible for SCHIP but are not enrolled main ly because states don't reach out to them . To cover them would cost an additional $50 billion over five years. And to cover all children in families with incomes under $66,000 for a family of three - 1wice the federal poverty line would cost $20 billion on top of that . One top administration official told me that SCHIP is "a train roaring down the tracks that we expect a lot of cars to be a!lached to, " indicating Bush was not prepared to pay the cost. But it's worth noting that Bush not only agreed to - but sponsored - a Medicare prescription drug bill for seniors that will cost ·an estimated $400 billion over five years. Administration officials argue that providing drugs to seniors is a major way of preventing disease and holding down costs. The same argument can be made for preventive care for child"ren, for whom coverage is cheaper than for adults. Moreover, as part of the 2004 Medicare Modernization Act, the adminis tration won authority ·for other steps - suc h as pay-for-perfor- mance experiments and expansion of Medicare HMOs and health savings accounts that contribute to quality improvement and longrun cost savings. SCHIP reauthorization could be used as a vehicle for more reforms from the GOP side, even as Democrats try to expand the program to guarantee coverage for all children and even low -income parents. A number of initiatives to cover all children have been proposed, including one by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., Rep . John Dingell, DMich., ·and a coalition of 16 disparate groups including the liberal Families USA, the conservative U.S. Chamber or Commerce and America's Health ltburan~:~ Plans. A restraint on Democrats' ambitions will be their "pay-as-yougo" requirement that any new spending be offset by savings elsewhere, though last week a Blue Dog Democrat , Rep. Marion Berry (Ark.), and a moderate Republican, Rep . Heather Wilson (N .M.), appealed to the House Budget Commitlee to clear funding to cover children up to 200 percent of poverty. Meanwhile, Bush 's proposal to grant a standard tax deduction of $7,500 per individual or $15,000 per family for the purchase of in surance was declared DOA by Dingell and Rep . Pete Stark, DCalif.. chairman of the Hou se Ways and Means subcommittee on health. It deserves resuscitation and revision - possibly to prcvide for a refundable tax credit to enable more low -income workers to afford health coverage. The main Democratic objection to Bush's plan an alleged " tax increase on the middle class " - could be ameliorated by phasing it in. To pay for the tax deduction, Bu sh propo sed forcing beneficiaries of "gold-plated" employerprovided plans to pay tax on the _ benefit, raisin g Democratic (and trade union) hackles . De mocrats al'o contend the plan will di srupt the employer-based health insurance sy., tem that covers about 75 percent of workers . But the employer-based system already is deteriorating, and even some Democrats such as Sen. Barack Obama (Ill. l - have sugge,ted that it needs to be replaced. Advocates of universal coverage, such as Henry Simmons, president of the National Coalition on Health Care, argue that America can't wait until after the 2008 elections to repair a broken system. He said Bush's plan covers too few of the uninsured - an estimated 5 million and that incremental reform such as SCHIP expansion provides no cost-containment mechanism. He's right, of course. America needs to have everyone covered to bring down the average cost of insurance and keep everyone healthier. But how to deliver that service through the government or the private insurance market , with price controls or consumer choice - is a subject for a pres idential debate. For now, let's cover the kids. ( Mortmt K ondracke is exec11til'e editor of Roll Call, till' new.1paper of Capitol Hill.)

Marcus Butler turned off hi s car's air conditioning and then clicked off the radio. Comforts felt wrong on this drive, this mission of discovery. Among the papers piled on the seal beside him iay a copy of the newspaper classified ad that pulled him here. Occasionally, he picked it up and reread words he knew by heart . "RUN away from the plantations of Mr. Brett Randolph," began the reward notice in the Virginia Gazette of Apri I II, 1771. The words that followed knocked Butler breathless when he first scrolled across them on a library's microfilm reader. Two slaves had escaped and one of them described as about 18, well made, very black, from Africa was named Claiborne. That was Butler's great-great-greatgreat-grandfather. Butler let himself sweat as he drove Claiborne's approximate path of flight across the Virginia piedmont. He imagined him walking at nilJht through the forests, dnnking from streams, evading slave catchers, somehow surviving to allow Marcus Butler and his wife and three children to know a full life six and seven generations later. Butler discovered Claiborne five years into a heart-wrenching, ultimately" inspiring journey through the family tree.

Now he can say things like, "Slaves were taxable property" and "So that's how my people got 10 Mississippi' and "I tell my kids, 'You're living now, you're breathing now, because he ran away and he got away."' In an age when genealogy is high science, and Oprah Win frey lras her DNA analyzed to trace her African roots for television specials, Butler embodies old school sleuthing. He may yet turn to genetic testing to confirm the family's oral history, that his ancestors hail from Guinea, West Africa. But science and Internet searches provide only hints at the human tale. To reveal the story between the genetic markers, Butler cracked open deed books in courthouses throughout the South, met distant kin and read tombstones in forgotten cemeteries. Often, on a hunch, he turned up an unexpected path or tangent, suspecting • something amazing ahead. Eventually, he traced 238 years of a Claiborne in the family. "You can't really appreciate it until you get into it," he said. "This has taken me on a phenomenal adventure." · Butler, 47, has no training as an historian. His masters degree from Kent State University is in international business. But he does possess qualities of the explorer. He's a trim, athletic-looking man who exhibits frequent bursts of energetic curiosity. Describing an episode from the family odyssey, he will leap from his chair to fetch a map, or a tax bill, or a diary entry that may illuminate a detail. He was a marketing manager for Johnson & Johnson when he quit to launch Butler Transportation, a van service he farst envisioned as an undergraduate at the University of Cincinnati. It made him enough money to pursue a time-con suming hobby. On that drive across the Virginia piedmont two >ummers ago, Butler alread y knew a lot about the first African American in the family. Claiborne came on a slave ship in the late 1760s, about the time of Kunta Kinte, Alex Haley's slave ancestor immortalized in "Roots." He was maybe 13. He escaped from Brett Randolph's plantation in Cumberland County on New Years Day 1771. probably making for Richmond, 60 miles east. For when Butler found him II years later, he was living nonh of Richmond with ' an Englishman and his houseservant, a slave named Violet. The slave who ran with Claiborne was caught and killed. Butler speculates that the Englishman took in hi s ancestor and agreed not to expose him in exchange for his servitude. He also believes there was something special about the name Claiborne, a connection to Africa, for it never died. Claiborne and Violet named their firstt.orn Claiborne. He was sold as a young man to a neighbor, Thomas Tinsley. In 2004, Butler drove down to the former Tinsley plantation, now a prosperous farm, and met the greatgreat -great -granddaughter of his ancestor's owner in her 1810 house . Maria Rippe, 65, wa' chill y at first, skeptical of his mottves. But over time. she began to talk 10 him and to help him. "She wa' a' curious about the history as I wa,," Butler said. Genealogy poses a challenge for an yone. but African American' face an especially complex and emotional search . Their people were often property, tagged only with a first name , not eve n counted until the census of 1870. Tracing black ancestors means researching white owner' and accepting practices not widely acknowledged. After years of discoveries, Butler speaks matter-offactly about sensitive history. Often, he fin.c.l s himself softening the unvarnished twlh for the unwary. The Tinsley heirs knew that Thomas Tinsley had gone down to Mississippi for a time to start a cotton plantation. He took with him Claiborne and Fannie, and in Missi '5ippi, Fannie gave birth to two boys. Claiborne Sr. and Melborne. But when young Tinsley returned to Virginia, he brought only Claiborne and Fannie, not the boys. Butler · pieced together the answer and one day presented it to Rippe. The venture failed and Tinsley neetletl money to pay for the stagecoach jOurney home . And, well, he sold the boys. Her face turned white, Butler recalls. He tried to soften the blow as she whispered, '"Noooo."

Ed Simpson, Dann 's chief of policy and administration , said Dann's concern over whether Hung Kongbased TTl would control too much of 11\e floor-care market under the deal were allayed by the investigation. He declined to discuss the specilks. He alsn noted that Dann 's offi~:e has left the door open to'further investigation. "There was no strategy," Simpson said. "Marc has made it very pluin that he 's going to look at any purchase of un Ohio company by a foreign company.' Other than acknowledging that Dann was investigat ing. the Department of Development had no contact with TTl concerning it, Fisher said. "It would not have been appropriate for me to discuss the antitrust investigation with them ," he said. Dann did, however, call off a news conference on the Hoover matter - which had been scheduled a day in advance - on the morning Fisher announced hi s news conference announcing the deal, thus allowing Fisher and the Department of Development's deal to enjoy the day's spotlight. .

Fisher said that he and Strickland had worked since shnnly after the Nov. 7 election to persuade Hoover's suitor to keep and add jobs in Ohio. He said he tonk no issue with Dunn's decision to review whether it might violate antitrust law for TTl, the maker of Dirt Devil and Ro yal 11oor-care products, to own Whirlpool Corp.'s storied Hoover brand. After reviewing the case, Dann lust week said he had no objection to the deal and TTl completed the sale for $105 million . On Thursday, the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, of which Fisher is chairman, granted TTl a 10-yem, $1.5 million tax break in return for TTl's addition of 110 jobs at its Glenwillow headquarters in suburban Cleveland. Fisher, a former attorney general himself, said Dunn's activities in no way interfered with his plan to land TTl 's re search and development center. "During the entire time of the (antitrust) investigation, I was in touch with TTl and explained that the attorney gcncrul had every right and we should pursue parallel discussions,' Fisher said. Although both offices said they were not using a carrot-and-stick approach to the deal , the antitrust talk ·could have turned it to the state's favor, said Ronald Pollina, president of Pollina BY JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER .

"TI~~re are_no 21 percent drops, he satd. Whitlow took a similar stance and said a proposed 3. 1 percent budget increase for NASA for the spending year beginning Oct. I would allow the Glenn center to avoid staff cuts. "For the foreseeable future , we see no need for a redu~:tion in force," Whitlow said. The Glenn center has about I,667 employees and about I,450 contract workers at locations next to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the 6,400-acre PI urn Brook Station near Sandusky. Pay for center employees averages $83,000 a year. Employment is down by hundreds compared with two years ago. Last year the center got a boost when NASA tapped Glenn to help design a new space vehicle. Glenn center officials said President Bush's proposed budget calls for $556 million for the center, down from the currenr expe~:ted spending level of $576 million through Sept. 30. They emphasized, however, that spending levels can change over a months-lung wngressional budget debate and noted that Glenn originally was slotted for $380 million this year. . The proposed budget for next year could grow over time, according to Rich Christiansen, center deputy director.

"It's unusual for a state to do that. Usually it 's up to the federal government," Pollina said. Ed Simpson, Dann 's chief of policy and administration , said Dann's concern over whether Hung Kongbased TTl would control too much of 11\e floor-care market under the deal were allayed by the investigation. He declined to discuss the specilks. He alsn noted that Dann 's offi~:e has left the door open to'further investigation. "There was no strategy," Simpson said. "Marc has made it very pluin that he 's going to look at any purchase of un Ohio company by a foreign company.' Other than acknowledging that Dann was investigat ing. the Department of Development had no contact with TTl concerning it, Fisher said. "It would not have been appropriate for me to discuss the antitrust investigation with them ," he said. Dann did, however, call off a news conference on the Hoover matter - which had been scheduled a day in advance - on the morning Fisher announced hi s news conference announcing the deal, thus allowing Fisher and the Department of Development's deal to enjoy the day's spotlight. . Like Dann , F1sher sa1d his work on the deal may not be done. Hoover still has about I,()()() employees in North Cunton, its former headquarters, awaiting TTl's deci sion on where to consolidate its manufacturing operations.

The admini stration certainly was aware that the' Hoover jobs, already tenuotls, could have been fur ther threatened by <Ill)' antitrust action by Dunn . Fisher said that he and Strickland had worked since shnnly after the Nov. 7 election to persuade Hoover's suitor to keep and add jobs in Ohio. He said he tonk no issue with Dunn's decision to review whether it might violate antitrust law for TTl, the maker of Dirt Devil and Ro yal 11oor-care products, to own Whirlpool Corp.'s storied Hoover brand. After reviewing the case, Dann lust week said he had no objection to the deal and TTl completed the sale for $105 million . On Thursday, the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, of which Fisher is chairman, granted TTl a 10-yem, $1.5 million tax break in return for TTl's addition of 110 jobs at its Glenwillow headquarters in suburban Cleveland. Fisher, a former attorney general himself, said Dunn's activities in no way interfered with his plan to land TTl 's re search and development center. "During the entire time of the (antitrust) investigation, I was in touch with TTl and explained that the attorney gcncrul had every right and we should pursue parallel discussions,' Fisher said. Although both offices said they were not using a carrot-and-stick approach to the deal , the antitrust talk ·could have turned it to the state's favor, said Ronald Pollina, president of Pollina BY JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER .

"This year things arc a lot more positive ,'' Woodrow Whit.low Jr., Glenn center director, told reporters at a briefing following an agency - wid~. NAS_A TV briefing led 111 Washmgton by NASA Administrator Michael Griffin. Griffin brush~d aside congressional concerns last week in Ohio that the Glenn center might face a big spending cut. "TI~~re are_no 21 percent drops, he satd. Whitlow took a similar stance and said a proposed 3. 1 percent budget increase for NASA for the spending year beginning Oct. I would allow the Glenn center to avoid staff cuts. "For the foreseeable future , we see no need for a redu~:tion in force," Whitlow said. The Glenn center has about I,667 employees and about I,450 contract workers at locations next to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the 6,400-acre PI urn Brook Station near Sandusky. Pay for center employees averages $83,000 a year. Employment is down by hundreds compared with two years ago. Last year the center got a boost when NASA tapped Glenn to help design a new space vehicle. Glenn center officials said President Bush's proposed budget calls for $556 million for the center, down from the currenr expe~:ted spending level of $576 million through Sept. 30. They emphasized, however, that spending levels can change over a months-lung wngressional budget debate and noted that Glenn originally was slotted for $380 million this year. . The proposed budget for next year could grow over time, according to Rich Christiansen, center deputy director.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Ma~~: Dann, another newly el~cted Democrat, wus openly questioning TTl's growth strategy, even suggesting it may violate federal anti trust laws that exist to keep companies from getting too large and powerful.

Now that he has one, _anyone who doesn' t list him at the top of the heap among today\ coac hes isn't in touch wi th the NFL. Dungy, thottgh, in his ~harac t eris ti ­ call y humble manner, dismissed that notion Monday. "I ~rew up under Chuck Noll, ' he replied when asked about compari so ns wi th hts mentor. "No . he's not someone l think I can be grouped with ." Think it, Tony. Yes, Noll won four Super Bowl s in six seasons with Pittsburgh in the 1970s. But that was in an era where, without free age ncy, he didn't have to worry about losing a Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth or Terry Bradshaw. Those players were there. season after.season until age got to them . Dungy'' The day afler he won his first Super Bowl, he was thinking about the possibility of losing Dwight Freeney, Dominic Rhodes and Cato June. three core players. The Colts might protect Freeney with a franchi se player tag, not <tlways the best thing because it can lead to bitterness and potential holdouts and divide a unified team . But that's the way of this decade and it hasn't hurt Bill Belichick, who h<ts won three Super Bowls with New En~ land despite letting man y ot his most imponant plavers go - from Lawyer Mifloy <tfter the first win in 2002 to Deion Branch and Willie McGinest last seasnn. Even so, the Patriots made it lo the AFC championship game, led Indianapolis 21 -3 in the first half and most likely would have heaten Chil.:ago if a late dri vc by Peyton Manning hadn ' t put the Colts in the Super Bowl inste<td of the Patriots. Compare Dungy with Belichick'' S.ure. Since becoming coach of the Colts in 2002 - after . (unwisely) being fired by Tampa Bay - he is 60-20 in the regular season. That's one ~a m e better than Belichtck, who is 59-21 over the same period. Yes, Belichick has three Super Bowl wins, one of them earned the year before Dungy took over the Colts. But there's no reason that Dungy's first title, the result of his team's 29- 17 win over Chica~o on Suntlay night in the Mtami rain has to be his la;t. He reiterated Monday that he will 'tick around and that he wants more . "I still have a lot of passion and enthusiasm for the Galli a County OH .

Falkenberg would go on to score a game-high 33 points. Rio Grande (10-16, 5-9 AMC South) used a 9-2 run to pull within 46-42 on a three-pointer by Marcus Manns with 40 seconds remaining in the ftrst half.

Dungy, thottgh, in his ~harac t eris ti ­ call y humble manner, dismissed that notion Monday. "I ~rew up under Chuck Noll, ' he replied when asked about compari so ns wi th hts mentor. "No . he's not someone l think I can be grouped with ." Think it, Tony. Yes, Noll won four Super Bowl s in six seasons with Pittsburgh in the 1970s. But that was in an era where, without free age ncy, he didn't have to worry about losing a Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth or Terry Bradshaw. Those players were there. season after.season until age got to them . Dungy'' The day afler he won his first Super Bowl, he was thinking about the possibility of losing Dwight Freeney, Dominic Rhodes and Cato June. three core players. The Colts might protect Freeney with a franchi se player tag, not <tlways the best thing because it can lead to bitterness and potential holdouts and divide a unified team . But that's the way of this decade and it hasn't hurt Bill Belichick, who h<ts won three Super Bowls with New En~ land despite letting man y ot his most imponant plavers go - from Lawyer Mifloy <tfter the first win in 2002 to Deion Branch and Willie McGinest last seasnn. Even so, the Patriots made it lo the AFC championship game, led Indianapolis 21 -3 in the first half and most likely would have heaten Chil.:ago if a late dri vc by Peyton Manning hadn ' t put the Colts in the Super Bowl inste<td of the Patriots. Compare Dungy with Belichick'' S.ure. Since becoming coach of the Colts in 2002 - after . (unwisely) being fired by Tampa Bay - he is 60-20 in the regular season. That's one ~a m e better than Belichtck, who is 59-21 over the same period. Yes, Belichick has three Super Bowl wins, one of them earned the year before Dungy took over the Colts. But there's no reason that Dungy's first title, the result of his team's 29- 17 win over Chica~o on Suntlay night in the Mtami rain has to be his la;t. He reiterated Monday that he will 'tick around and that he wants more . "I still have a lot of passion and enthusiasm for the Galli a County OH .

Rio Grande (10-16, 5-9 AMC South) used a 9-2 run to pull within 46-42 on a three-pointer by Marcus Manns with 40 seconds remaining in the ftrst half.
