I suspect this problem J>DeS along with the prestige of saying, "I'm a physician." My most memorable request came from a 60-yearold woman who asked me to look at her bunions during my friend's wedding. Fortunately, my pediatric population doesn't suffer from bunions, so I couldn't provide her with any remedies. When I'm at social gatherings and am introduced as "Doctor," I jokingly say, "The doctor is not in her office at this time." Then I ask people to call me by my first name. In this way I let them know I am a person, not a doctor on duty.

Such questions never bother me, for after all, I know more about medicine than any other subject, so if appropriate, I offer a straightforward answer.

POMEROY -The State of the Union provided many people with a chance to gauge the uncertain future of the country on the verge of war and facing an economic meltdown. Chris Pines, a political philosophy professor al the University of Rio Grande, does not believe the president made the case for war. "I'm the kind of person that thinks it's important to carefully examine the argument and reasoning of others," he said. "And while I was impressed by President Bush's speech, on reflection, l don't think he has made a persuasive case for war." Pines questioned Bush's arguments about the seriousness of the Iraqi threat. Comparing the U.S. military capacity to that of Iraq, Pines asked how any weapons of mass destruction could be delivered in an attack. According to Pines, Iraq has no navy or strategic aq ..........

The Meigs County Community Improvement Corpomtion is expected to propose construction of a building to Rio's specitications, but no official offer has been made for such a building proposal , according to Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe. "The board is definitely interested in expanding its facilities in Meigs County, especially because of the additional courses we're offering this year," Sojka said. "An offer from the CIC for the consbUction of a new building will certainly be one to consider." Rio Grande has announced plans to offer additional degree programs at its Mill Street center, including a graduate degree in education. Those new programs will likely create an overcrowding situation at the center, which houses only two classrooms, a computer lab and office !jpaee..

"According to his speech, it means $450 million to mentor disadvantaged junior high students," Pines said. "That would roughly be about $9 million for each of the 50 states in America.

POMEROY Meigs Local School District has improved dramatically with its proficiency test scores during the last three years. In 2000, the district was listed as being in "academic emergency," which meant the district met only zero to 7 statewide standards out of 27. The district now has a rating of "continuous improvement," netting. percent. Buckley attributes this success to a group effort from students, teachers, parents and administrators. Buckley said teachers worked toward aligning curriculum with what the state was testing. Teaching at the high school has always been a strength for the district. For years; it has offered tutoring programs during and after school. There is also in-class extra work assigned periodically to students who may need to brush up on skills for 12 out of 22 standards. Last year, Meigs had a rating of I 0 out of 27 standards and was listed as being on "academic watch. " Superintendent William Buckley is optimistic that improvement will continue. The district's highlights include a complete sweep of the eighth and ninth grade proficiency tests. In writing, more than 94 percent of the students who took the test passed, exceeding the state standard of 75 which students are tested. In most subject categories, about 50 percent of the students passed the tests. The 12th grade proficiency tests scores did not meet many of the state standards either. While the district's students were very close to state standard passing rate of 60 percent, .the district failed in four of the five categories not including student attendance rates or graduation rates.

In exchange for the guilty plea 10 aggravated murder in an appearance before Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Jennifer Brunner on Wednesday, Hennando "Clift" Harton Jr. was to receive a life sentence with parole· possible after 20 years. Frimklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said Harton, 40, also would make a statement to the court. Harton also agreed to plead no contest to two counts of attempted murder for allegedly firing at Morrow County deputies at a truck stop, O'Brien said. Those counts each carry I 0year sentences, which are to run at the same time as the murder sentence. Police say Harton shot and killed his wife, Elizabeth, 27, on Aug. 2, in their suburban Columbus home, then fled north on 1-71. The State Highway Patrol said he was shot when he pointed two guns at troopers at the end of a fourhour standoff in Ashland County. Harton is paralyzed below the waist. A mistrial was declared in November when Harton developed a kidney infection as jury selection for his trial began. Prosecutors offered the plea deal then, O'Brien said Harton didn't accept it then because his defense team hadn't finished its investigation, said Jerry Simmons, his attorney. "This is the way Cliff wanted to conclude it. He's not a danger to anyone. He'll be bedridden for the rest of his life," Simmons said.

NATIONAL VI'EW ·~ The Post-Standard, Syracuse, N.Y., on air pollution: Nine Northeastern states, including New York, wasted little· time filing a legal challenge in federal court to new airpollution rules for power plants and other industries. Hours after the Bush administration published the new rules that would roll back the landmark Clean Air Act and make this st-ate's and the nation's air more unsafe, the state attorneys general made their opposition clear. They set the stage for a legal battle the administration deserves to lose. The Bush administration's changes allow aging coalfired power plants and other industrial sites to upgrade without having to install costly anti-pollution devices, arguably violating the Clean Air Act. It is the latest of several moves that place industry wishes and politics above tlie environment and public health. It deserves to be challt1nged, condemned and reversed. The consequences could include lost wildlife, some SJ?ecies going extinct and ecological disruption, including forcing animals and insects to migrate farther, imperiling food supplies and altering mating seasons. Just a onedegree change in the last century has produced some of these changes. Scientists project a 2.5- to 10-degree increase in the next century, should concentrations of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gasses, which flow mainly from smokestacks and tailpipes, continue to rise. That is reason enough to stick to - if not expand -current rules that limit air pollution. Instead, the way is being paved for more emissions. ' .

' Wednaaday, January 28, 2003 Get set, folks.· The taxman is ready to greet you There is a bronze plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty that reads: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempestlost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Well, these people better avoid Ohio because Gov. Bob Taft will shake them down for money to balance the state budget. The good governor has decided to cut services and tax everything. Don' t plan on $etting sick or older. Subsidies to nursmg homes, hospitals and Medicaid providers will be frozen in place. Patients will have to subsidize the state a little more by helping to pay for some prescription drugs. This will harm the elderly who are already living on fixed incomes and struggling for daily survival with choices between paymg for medicine or food. There are a higher percenta$e of elderly people living in poverty m many counties of southern Ohio... In October of 2000, the state cut the cash welfare benefits of the huddled masses as part of welfare reform. Accordin~ to the Ohio Association of Commumty Action Agencies (OACAA), there are 21 counties which have experienced a recession continuously since 2000. Unemployment claims rose 44.5 percent since the beginning of 2001 and one can only imagine that with the closing of lite mines and many other prominent employers in southern Ohio this past year that things have only gotten worse. The number of children who are both poor and receive public assistance was approximately 476,000 in 2001. Taft is about to chop 30,000 low-income parents from Medicaid insurance. More than 25 percent of the children three to four years in many southern Ohio counties, including Meigs and Gallia, are both poor and in the welfare system. The OACAA report said that a \ypical family of three living off wei- J. Miles Layton REPORTER fare received in 1970 $10.534 (adjusted for current dollars). Today, that same family receives about $4,476. This is about to be cut again, so any "homeless" or "tempest tost" are probably better off elsewhere like Florida, where it doesn't snow. Any huddled masses drivin~ across the teeming shores of the Ohto River can expect to pay higher prices for gasoline. The state tax, now at 22 cents a gallon, is expected to increase at least 6 cents more during the next four y~s. Anyone seeking to drown \heir sorrows after a hard day paying taxes will be greeted at tht: bar by the tax man. Taft said in his Stare ·o.f the Stale address that he wants to stick it to the people of Ohio by raising taxes on alcohol and cigarettes to the provide $160 million for the budget. Ohio consumers now pay 41 cents in state taxes for a case of beer with 24 bottles or cans. According to the Wholesale Beer and Wine Association of Ohio, more than 43 percent of Ohioans drink beer, wine and liquor. Forget about lighting a ci~arette. Smokers currently pay 55 cents 10 taxes per pack of cigarettes. Taft is toying with the idea of raising that amount anywhere from 19 cents to 50 cents. Clear!~, Taft is not a smoker. So, tf you are on welfare with a minimum wage paying job and children, forget about gasoline, alcohol or cigarettes - unless you can score a state job. · Taft will pass the buck further to counties and townships by cutting 2.5 percent more than $30 million from local ~overnment funding. Most of the counties in Ohio are financially strapped or are outright broke. This is just the beginning as the 2.5 percent cut gets bigger and bigger as the year progresses. If a criminal is· caught stealing gas and buying black-market cigarettes or alcohol by one of the few remaining law officers not laid off by budget cuts, this person may never do time because the governor is going to close a prison or two. Escape might even be an option, because trickle down economics will force county jails to cut back on guards and such. Schools are not immune either from trickle down taxes. If higher taxes and budget cuts fail to feed the budget enough, school funding is at risk. This is particularly harmful to many districts funded by property taxes with low · property values which overwh~lmingly rely on state funds for education. In. dark economic times, Olii<i Supreme ' Court Justice Paul Pfeifer's words in DeRolph about "a complete systematic overhaul" of the scl).~ol fundipg syste~ , are even more powerful. · -.. · · For those who made it to college; · tuition increases are inevitable. For poor families, this means. student borrowing will increase so that everyone will continue to pay for junior's education for a least a hundred years .based on the minimum wage paying jobs left available after he !P"aduates. So let me get thts straight, governor. You are planning to raise taxes and cut . services for people with fewer jobs and with less money coming in. I guess it won't make much difference to southern Ohioans because If we were broke · before, this certainly won't change things. Ultimately, the governor has levied these cuts and taxes at poor peapie, but since we don't have any money. anyway, we respectfully send these back. The election was only a couple months ago. Is it to late to ask for recount? (1. /l{iles Layton is a. reporter for the Ohio Valley Publishing Co.) THE VILLAGE IDIOT You want economic stimulus? Then just sell titles The president has introduced a new plan to stimulate the economy. I don't know what his plan is. I'm pushing my own. A plan that would both revive the economy and satisfy America's fascination with royalty. It's a simple idea. Let cities and states sell royal tttles to rich Americans. You want to be the Marquis of Massachusetts? Nine hundred grand a year. You want to pass the title on to your eldest son? He pays $900,000 a year. Rich people who complain about paying the sales tax on a box of Q-Tips will stand in line, excuse me, queue up to buy themselves a title. This is where the British have things completely backward. They pay people to be royalty when they should be charging them. Think of the possibilities for revenue. The Duke of Dallas ($4,867 ,000), the Princess of Pottawattamie County ($1 ,289.000), the Count and Countess of Chillicothe ($757,000), the Viscount of Vermont ($537,000). There would be hundreds of thousands of people who would be happy with a simple knightship ($1 00,000 a year). Every community could be out of debt in a week. Potholes would be a thing of the past.

' Jim Mullen COLUMNIST good royal titles, they would be completely meaningless, expect to those who crave them. Besides, we already have people who act like Dukes and Duchesses, why not make them pay for it? And the possibility of new money into the public coffers wouldn't stop with the selling of titles. While royal titles come some heavy-duty expenses. The new princes and princesses will have to hve the life of the manor bought, cooks, chauffeurs, butlers, upstairs maids and whatnot. They will have to build huge, drafty castles and join exclusive clubs - creating more jobs for the rest of us. The Marquis of Massapequa can't very well get out on the riding mower every Saturday, can he? He's going to need a full-time gardener. He will have to throw extravagant dinner parties - a welcome boost for the food service industry. Publishers will find business documenting the new peerage, and Pe"ple magazine will make even more money writing about the life and times of the American royals as well as the staid old, boring British ones. Who needs to read about Prince William when we will have our own supply of Lady Kaitlins and Dame Briannas, Lord Brads and Sir Ty lers? Before we start selling royal titles, we'll pass a bunch of laws that heavily tax such activities as polo playing and castle building. The rest of us rna~ never have to pay taxes again. We won t be able to count the extra revenue fast enough. To be sure, there will be a pecking order. The Lord of Palm Beach ($6,491 ,000) will outrank the Lord of Levittown ($353,000). But what do we care? The streets will be getting fixed with their money and we'll have hired more cops. Of course, the real advantage of establ'ishing a contributing royalty in this country is that we will 'ferret out the unsuspecting rich.

(AP) Space shuttle Columbia's astronauts joined Mission Control in a moment of silence Tuesday at the exact time 17 years ago that Challenger exploded in the sky. NASA's work force, in orbit and on Earth, remembered not only the seven astronauts who died on Jan. 28, 1986, but also the three who were killed by a fire in their Apollo spacecraft at the pad on Jan. 27, 1%7. At the launch site Thesday, flags flew at half staff for the second day in a row. The two tragedies, separated by 19 years and a single day, represent the space agency's darkest hours. "It is today that we remember and honor the crews of Apollo I and Challenger. They made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their Members of the Iraqi Opposition, Barham Salin, right, prime minister of the Sulaymahia Kurdistan regional government in Iraq, and Ghassan Atiyyah, editor-inchief of the Iraqi File, attend the Word Economic Forum during the last dtly of the meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

'Their dedication and devotion to the exploration of space was an inspiration to each of us and still motivates people around the world to achieve great things and service to others." The six Americans and one Israeli aboard Columbia marked their 12th day in space Tuesday. Their round-the-clock laboratory research mission, featuring more than 80 experiments, is due to end with a landing back at Kennedy Space Center on Saturday, Day 16. On the international space station, the two American astronaut~ and nne Russian cosmonaut also paused to remember, and the airwaves fell silent there, too.

Teenager thrown 25 feet in air from Jeep Mayors of New York and Philly propose big cutbacks \NEW YORK (AP)- With New York City facing its worst fiscal crisis since the '70s, Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a $44 billion budget Tuesday that includes more than $550 million in cuts in services and assumes passage of a commuter tax that the governor is against. Bloomberg's spending plan does not call for any immediate layoffs in the city's work force of250,000. In Philadelphia, meanwhile, Mayor John Street proposed the elimination of about 1,600 jobs through layoffs and attrition. Bloomberg's spending plan also includes $600 million in savings from the city's munici- pal work force - such as making employees help pay for their own prescription drugs which union leaders have flatly rejected. Essential to the budget, the mayor said, is $1 billion from a commuter tax that Gov. George Pataki has repeatedly said he does not support. As with many items in his proposal that would need the approval of state legislators, Bloomberg said he is optimistic that he will be able to make his case on the commuter tax. 'Those people take advantage of the protection our police department provides, of the safety our ftre department provides, they throw out trash that our sanitation picks up, and when you say it's not fair, it's not fair to get a service and not pay your fair share of it," Bloomberg said. Beyond its projected $3.2 billion deficit for fiscal year 2004, the city faces gaps of $5 billion or more each in fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007. Bloomberg did not rule out layoffs. The city's work force is expected to be reduced by 8,000 through early retirements and buyouts by mid-2004. Since October, 700 city workers have been laid off. In Philadelphia, Street said he. will cut 50 people from his top staff and eliminate a total of I ,614 jobs. He also proposed the closing of some recreation centers and pools. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A teenager was catapulted at least 25 feet in the air during an auto accident but grabbed onto overhead utility wires like an action hero and dangled for about 20 minutes before a rescue crew brought him down by ladder. Joe R. Thompson Ill, 18, was treated for bruises and scratches at a hospital and was released. "God was definitely in contro],",he said. Thompson lost control of his Jeep on Monday evening after another car suddenly turned in front of him. Thompson's Jeep clipped the other car and rolled over and over, possibly five times, witnesses said. The Jeep's fiberglass top was ripped off, and Thompson, who was not wearing a seat belt, flew through the air, bouncing otT three power lines' and falling onto what he thinks was a telephone wire and grounding wire. His leg caught in one wire, and he grabbed for the other. "I just kept saying a prayer over and over," he said Thesday from his home in the suburb of Blue Springs. Sgt. Ray Myers of the Blue Springs police said Thompson was "bear-hugging" the wires when help arrived. The wtres were insulated, but the power lines above him had to be turned off before the rescue ladder could be raised. The driver of the other car, Justin B. Elam, of Olathe, Kan., came immediately to check on Thompson. "1 just started saying, 'Dude, turn off my car.' He looked around at first, he couldn't find me. Then he looked up and saw me,'~ Thompson said. · Meanwhile, Thompson's father had rushed to the scene. "I was told he was hanging on for dear life," Joe Thompson II said. "I didn't know they meant he literally was hanging on for dear life." The father said his son was talking the entire time. "We asked him how long he could hold on, and he said, 'I can hold on as long as it takes.' His arms were turning blue because it was cold, but otherwise he was fine," the elder Thompson said. "And don't forget, this is a great story to remind people to wear seat belts." It's Valen-tinleT Tell Someone You Love Them In A Special Way ,. . The Renalssan..

Ball State's Matt McCollom, right, defends Marshall's Monty Wright as he drives to the hoop in the first half Tuesday in Muncie, Ind. (AP) Falcons roar back .to win wild one ' For the first half of Bowling Green's game a~ainst Ohio on Tuesday mght, Kevin Netter was practically nonexistent for the Falcons, who were getting routed. "The first half was as good as we've played all year," Ohio coach Tim O'Shea said. The second half was a different story. Bowling Green roared back from a 14-point halftime deficit to force overtime and win 66-60. And they did it by gehing the ball to Netter, who scored 20 of hi s 23 points after halftime and all eight of Bowling Green's points in overtime. "He didn 't start great, but he got a real feel for the game," Bowling Green coac h Dan Dakic h said . "When he does that he's a difficult guy to stop." Nei ther team scored in overtime before Netter made a pair of fr~e throws with (AP) - 2:40 to play to give the Falcons (10-7, 6-3) a 60-58 lead. After Brandon Hunter made a jumper to pull the Bobcats (5-9, 2-4) to a 60-60 tie, Netter made two free throws, a dunk and two more free throws over the last 54 seconds. "Obviously, down the stretch we didn 't make free throws and we just didn't make the plays we needed at the end of the game to win lhe game," O' Shea said. For a big chunk of the second half, the Bobcal s didn 't make any pl ays. Bowling Green held Ohio scoreless for almost five-and-a-half minutes in the second half, coming from a 55-43 deficit with eight minutes to play to tieit at 55 with 2:37 to play. "In the second half, we came out focused defensively because we have guys who can score," Bowling Green forward Coty Eyink said. "We knew it would be our defense that would get us back in the game." After Jeff Halbert hit a 3pointer to give Ohio a 58-55 lead with I :06 to play, John Reimold made a 3-pointer to tie it at 58 with 40 seconds left. Halbert missed a jumper with four seconds to play. "Our kids did what they' ve done all year - we clawed, we scratched and we showed a lot of heart. I'm real proud of them," Dakich said. Hunter led Ohio with 26 points and 15 rebounds and Steve Esterkamp had 14 points. Reimold had 17 points for Bowling Green , Ron Lewis had 13 and II rebounds and Netier had 10 rebounds. "I had 26 points and 15 rebound s, but so what," Hunter said. "I had seven turnovers and I missed six free throws. That's a lot of mi ssed opportunities." In other MAC games, Toledo beat Western Please see MAC, Bl Ballinger averaged 11.2 points and 6.8 rebounds last season. On Tuesday, however, he was the sixth player to come off the bench because he hasn't scored in double figures since early December and is averaging just six points and three rebounds. But after a timeout, lzzo called a play designed to get Ballinger open on the left wing. The senior from Bluffton, Ind., rewarded Izzo's faith by making the decisive shot of the game. "It meant a lot to have that play called," said Ballinger, who scored five points. "Coach has stuck w1th me all year and has been willing me to play well. When we left the huddle, he said, 'If you're open, shoot it."' Kelvin Torbert and Alan Anderson each scored 12 points and Aloysius Anagonye added 10 for the Spartans ( 11 -8. 3-4 Big Ten), who had lost six of eight games. It was their worst slump since 1996-97. lzzo' s second season as head coach. "Well, we ain 't dead yet ." lzzo said. "Give our kids credit. It's not easy to get off the mat and I think we did that."

Bracey Wright, Indiana's leading scorer at 19.1 points per game, scored four points on 1-of-6 shooting. The freshman guard had missed the previous four games with a back injury. He had been the on! y Hoosier to score in double figures in every' game this season. Wright was limited for the final 10-plus minutes because his legs cramped up. "I thought I was OK until I stood up and couldn't walk," he said. The Hoosiers have lost 10 straight at the Breslin Center. Last season against Indiana at home, Ballinger made a 3-pointer to tie the game at 53 in a 57-54 win over the Hoosiers. Leach blamed himself for not guarding Ballinger. "It's just me not doing the things we practice and saw on film ," Leach said. "I thought (Chris) Hill was going to drive, and I left (Ballinger) to help. I left him wide open." Midway through the second half, Michigan State took a 46-40 lead - the largest for either team at that point but the Hoosiers quickly tied the game for a ninth time and took their first lead since scoring the first basket of the second half. Anagonye made two free throws and added a dunk to put the Spartans ahead 5046 with 5:40 left. They were able to keep a lead of at least three points until Horn sby ended Indiana's field goal drought.

Rose co ntinues to live like he played - with reckless abandon . Ju st about everything Pete has picked up since he put down his bat has turned out to be trouble .. Last week's revelations that Revenue the Internal Service has slapped a lien on a home he owns in suburban Los Angeles suggests that nothing has changed. It turns out Rose owes $151,689 in federal taxes from 1998. It's the kind of thing that can happen to anybody, except that Rose served a five-month prison sentence a decade ago for filing false income tax returns. He admitted not reportin g $354,968 in income from autograph appearances, memorabilia sales and gambling from 1984 to 1987 . And anybody who has crossed the taxman once will usually go out of their way to see that it does· n't happen again. One Cincinnati paper reported the tax troubles.

Two high-rankin g offi· cial s, speaking on the condition of anonymi ty, told The Associated Press last week that baseball's security department began investigating Ro se earlier this month . But both storie s apparently caught the commissioner by surprise. What was particularly stunning was the timing ·- boih of them coming when Rose's chances for reinstatement were better than at any time since the late Bart Giamatti, then the commissioner, banished Rose from baseball in August 1989. The latest effort began with secret negotiations late in 2001, went public last month amid signs that Selig was sof!ening , and had a chance to gain some serious momentum when Selig announced plans to convene the living members of the Hall of Fame at a meeting in Los Angeles and take a poll on how they would feel about Rose joining their ranks. The t1metable was for a decision by the commis sioner before spring training. points and Ebi Ere had 18 as the Sooners (14-3, 5-1 Big 12) extended the nation's longest home winning streak to 33 games. Oklahoma beat Texas A&M for the seventh straight time and· ran its record in the series to \8-1. Bernard King had 21 points for the Aggies ( 10-6, 2-3) and became the school's career scoring leader. Wake Forest 81, Clemson 60 · Jos h Howard had 18 points and II rebounds for the Demon Deacons (14-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coas t Conference) , who beat Clemson for the eighth time in nine games. 25 points as Ball State beat Marshall. · Williams scored 11 in a 229 run as the Cardinals (8-10, 3·5) took a 84-59 lead with just under seven minutes remaining. Ball Stale's Robert Owens had 17 points. Matt McCollom added 20 points, Kevin Cates had five assists and a career-high 14 rebounds, and Echols also had 15 rebounds. Marvin Black scored 14 points and had 12 re bounds for the Thundering Herd (97, 5-3). Owens and Echols, McCollom combined to help the Cardinals jump out to a 20-8 lead over Marshall , which never led. Although the Thundering Herd made 31-of-37 free throw s, the y shot only 40 percent fro m the field and 15 percent from 3point range. Ball State rnade 10-of-19 3-pointers with McCollom hitting 4-of-4. The Cardinals also outrebounded Marshall by 18 and had 18 more second-chance points. Kent State retires numbers Makes a great gift for Buckeye fans everywhere! cl§allipolii Jlailp t~trihune L-------------------------------------~ The Daily Sentinel • Page 83 www.mydallysentlnel.com 76ers 108 Bucks 81 Center. The sen ior quartet led Kent State to a four-year record of I 00·31, including Mid-American Conference records last season of 30 victories, I 7 league wins and a 21-game winning streak . The 2001-02 season also included Kent State 's first MAC regular-season cham· pionship, third MAC tour· nament title in four years and three wins in the NCAA tournament. Now. as Rose himself might say, all bets are off. Passing Pete off as reha bilitated was impossible even before this lates t round of setbacks. Giamatti said th at Rose would have to ··reconfigur e" hi s life before he would be recon· sidered for reinstateme nt, and while there's nothing to sugg est he 's don e anything illegal , recent events have made clear that the only reconfigurin g Rose is doing at the moment is calculating the changing odds on a tote board. In the past, Ro se has shrugged off hi s paid appearances in Sin City by claiming he doesn ' t play casino games, and other than the ponies, that he no longer even bets on sports. He 's also said that the only reason he 's taken up so many questionable outside employment opportunities - as a greeter, shill and spokesman - is becau se he 's banned from making a living inside baseb all. Funny how that never kept him away from the same places during his playing career. In any case, if Selig and his inner circle are fas t becoming convinced of anything, it 's that Rose isn ' t likely to change. Like Tonya Hard ing , another di sgraced flimflam artist, he' s decided to play the vic tim and keep aski ng for do-overs• until the end of difference time . T he between the two - so far - is th at Harding did n' t show up on the H ome Shopping Network selling sou ven irs the same night she got thrown out of her sport. That memory alone should serve to keep the commissioner from considering any request for reinstatement anytime soon. A member of Selig's inner circle told the New York Daily News that "he' s not going to make thi s decision and end up bein g em barrassed by it." The Hall of Fame has so far managed to keep Rose out. Hi s response was to set up shop down the street and hawk hi s own merchandise durin g induction cere· monies. If baseball decides to let him in throu gh the front door, it would only be a matter of time before the furniture would start turn· ing up for sale on eBay.

There are only two -servers working nights, and a couple of nights a week, I share my shift with ''Jane." Jane takes her table orders, then expects me to deliver the food. refill drinks, and anything else the people at her tables might need - in addition to working my own tables. . My problem is that many of the patrons at Jane's tables directly hand me their tip, saying I deserve it more than she does. Even though I don't think Jane deserves to be tipped. I feel guilty taking the money and always end up putting it in Jane's tip jar. Also, according to our employer's policy, I could get fired for keeping the money. To make matters worse, Jane is the boss's niece. This makes me reluctant to take the problem to him. Would it be wrong for me to tell the patrons at Jane 's tables that I can't keep their tips, and leave it up to them whether they leave anything for Jane? Maybe it would force Jane to work harder. Or should I keep things "as is" and not cause Dear Abby ADVICE trouble? - WORKING MY WAY THROUGH SCHOOL IN INDIANA DEAR WORKING: I have a '1ip" for you. The boss 's niece feels entitled, and in the interest of family unity, your boss will probably back her up. This can't be the only restaurant in town, With your experience, you are an attractive candidate for a job elsewhere. Start looking. DEAR ABBY: My mother and I were discussing the traditional custom of tossing the bride's bouquet at my wedding two years ago. The young girl who ended up catching it was only 12. Mom had no problem with it at the time, but now she does. She says that single females trying to catch the bouquet should be of marrying age - and the child who caught mine should never have been allowed to participate. At most of the weddings I've attended since then, I have observed very young girls· (some as young as 3) vying for the bouquet, as well as little boys scrambling to catch the bride's garter thrown by the groom. (At my wedding, the "winner" was a boy of 14.) What do you think about this, Abby? Is my mother right?- MOTHER AND DAUGHTER IN . HOUS· TON DE"R MOTHER AND DAUGHTER: Since catching a bouquet or garter is no guarantee that the person will be the next to marry (it's "up for grabs"), I see no reason why any guest should be excluded.

But one resident who flans on staying believes there is stil a future for Cheshire, and is urging his neighbors to vote against the question. Jim Rife, a Cheshire native who returned to live in the village early in 2002 - just before the announcement of the a~ment- sees no reason for consigrung Cheshire to history. "I'm thinking we can keep our incorporation for awhile," said Rife. who retired from Operating Engineers Union Local 77 in Washington and whose mother, Gladys, still resides in Cheshire. "We need our police protection and the man who takes care of our town will still be here," he added. "These are the things I think we'll need. There are ordinances on the books to take care of the village, and after a couple of years, we ' II get more pop~lation ." Village Council voted in November to end its incorporation as a village, a status Cheshire has held for 50 years. The state auditor's office suggested the move, believing the village will no longer be an effective entity after more than 90 percent of the property owners in Cheshire complete sale of their land and homes to AEP. The auditor's staff said "after awhile, we wouldn't serve any purpose," Village Clerk Jennifer Harrison noted. "It was a recommendation from the · state auditor," said Councilman Ron Hammond. "He strongly recommended this action. Those were his words. "It's something we felt was needed to tie things together in a professional manner," he added. Officials began exploring the dissolution process last June after the April16 ON Dts.r CAtshu A hand-crafted sign on the door of the Cheshire Post Office urges village residents to vote against ,the dissolution of Cheshire's incorporation status in a special election Tuesday. (Kevin Kelly) announcement of an agreement between the village and AEP to sell property for potential expansion of AEP's neighboring Gen. James M. Gavin Power Plant. Jeff Adkins. assistant Gallia County · prosecutor, has researched the question through the Ohio Revised Code. He advised officials that state law calls for an election for the dissolution of a municipality's incorporation. Although most expect Cheshire's head count will be depleted when those who sold their houses and land move away, Rife estimates between 15 and 20 people will remain. -Rife belie.ves AEP may rent some of the houses or property it's acquired. Add potential tenants to the number of those residents not leaving, and there is the basis for Cheshire's population to rebuild, he said. The village boasted 221 residents last year. Loss of incorporation means Cheshire's mayor and council will dissolve and the community will become part of Cheshire Township.

But an infusion of more money from Washington late last week means CAA will continue helping people in both counties with the one- time payment on home heating supply. An additional $200 million in Low Income Home Energy Assistance funds was authorized for distribution Friday by President Bu sh. The amount includes more than $7 million for Ohio. Gallia-Meigs CAA, which received $401,000 for this winter's.. Heating Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), saw its grant increase to $573,430 . said Sandra Please see Aid, As Meigs Local School Board purchases three new buses BY J. MILES LAYTON Staff wrner POMEROY - Meigs Local School Board accepted a bid for the purchase price of three new school buses for the district. T\vo companies, Marietta Truck Sales Co. and Edwin H. Davis and Sons, submitted bids which were within a few hundred dollars of one anoth.!:r at about $61,000 a bus. While the Davis bid was nominally cheaper, the Marietta Truck Sales won the contract after much consideration. Board members discussed in detail the numerous intricate specifications involved with each company's engine. Again, the difference between a Caterpillar engine and a Mercedes engine was too close to justify one brand or another. Engine parts, like the chassis or the pistons. became only slight concerns when making the decision because each type of engine demonstrated pros and cons that only a mechanic could appreciate. School buses run between 300,000 to 400,000 miles or more during their lifespans, which can last as few as tive years and as many as 10. As with any vehicle, there are repairs made, but this presents some difficulty because the school district cannot just take a bus to an ordinary local garage and have it fixed. After carefully considering the intricate mechanics of bus engines and their longevity on the highways of Meigs County. the board unanimously agreed to go with Marietta Truck Sales because it offered the wet sleeve option. Superintendent William Buckley said ihat while this bid was marginally more expensive in the short runlo the district, in the long run it would save money when doing in-house repairs.
