It closed over the weekend as electricity was restored to most Meigs County homes. From her assignment in Gallipolis Monday, Eileen Guy of the American Red Cross said the Red Cross is now concentrating its relief efforts there, but said those who need assistance with disaster-related problems can call the Red Cross at (866) GET INFO.

At Monday's regular meeting of Middlepon Village Council, lannarelli discussed the tribulations experienced by village government during the storm and the fourday siege without electricity that followed. lannarelli said a team of volunteers, including the vol unteer firefighters in Middleport, were particularly concerned about those residents, many of them elderly, who were unable to leave their homes and struggling without lights or heat. lannarelli said Thomas Rental Center donated the use of a backup generator for village use, and said~ volunteer firefighter traveled to Charleston, W.Va., in order to secure additional renlal generators so basic needs could be met at village hall and other locations necessary to the storm recovery effort. Please - Workers, AS According to police reports, Donna Warmecke, Pomeroy, left the Old Liberty Tavern on East Main Street to discover her 1989 Mercury Cougar missing at II :09 p.m. Friday. Law officers began searching the area. Early Saturday, a citizen from Pomeroy called the Meigs County Sheriff' s Department wnh a tip. A car had slid into a ditch at Ohio Route 7 near Hiland Road. Three men were reported to be walking a.way from the vehicle. Deputy Donnie Mohler responded to the scene at 2:24 a.m. and found an empty vehicle matching the description of the Mercury Cougar that had been reported missing three hours earlier. Police reports said there was more than $200 in damage to the vehicle. At the same time, Floyd Hickman, assistant chief of the Pomeroy Police Department, was cruising nearby Mulberry Avenue when he noticed three men walking down the section of the street known as hospital hill. He called Patrolman Nate Lather for assistance. As the two law officers started to approach the three men, they were listening to ,the scanner, wh1ch told of the recent discovery of the m1ssmg car by the sheriff's department . · Chief Mark Police Proffitt described an immediate "chain reaction of events" which led to the arrests. Hickman and Lather quickly apprehended the three men. Footprints in the snow appeared to be the smokinjl gun as the officers fol• lowed the trail back to where the car had been. Donnie Edwards was released. After questioning the men, Proffitt decided that Edwards knew nothing about the missing car because the two suspects had picked him up at his home earlier in the evening after the incident had taken place. Proffitt said no charges would be filed against Edwards. Murphy and Wilson were placed in the Middleport Jail. Before arraignment Monday at the Meigs County Court, Murphy and Wilson were questioned again by Proffitt. The two men confessed to Proffitt and Sgt. Joe Kirby Jr. The incident remains under investigation and other charges may follow. · In addition to grand theft auto, there were items reported missing from the car, which included a carton of cigarettes. Grand theft auto is fourth-degree felony which carries up to a maximum of 18 months in prison. Proffitt was pleased with the cooperation between law enforcement agencies. "The fast response time from 1he sheriff's department and the police department led to the apprehension of the suspects involved in this incident," he said. Council eyes purchase of back-up generator BY J. MILES lAYTON Staff writer POMEROY - Pomeroy Village Council discussed the possibility of purchasing an emergency back-up generator for the police department during Monday's meeting. Council member Larry Wehrung stressed the importance of providing a generator for the police department in case of emergencies. During the winter stonn, the police department lost power Feb. 16 to 19. Fortunately, the Meigs County Emergency Management Agency was able to provide an emergency generator to keep the police department from shutting down. Without electricity, there would be no heat, no lights and no power to opernte the gasoline pumps to fuel city vehicles with. Radio communications between the police dispaiCher and officers would also be at risk. The generator allowed the office lo remain operational, but it had to function without the use of its main compulier that tracks weather ·advisories and coordinates statewide data necessary for law enforcement. Despite freezing temperatures outside, portable s~ heaters kept the office wann at a balmy 60 degrees. Electricity from the generator kept the gas pump functional so that not only the police cruisers would have fuel. but the snow plow~ as well. The power was restored Feb. 20. Mayor John Blaettnar said the village might consider purchasing two generators. One would be 11sed for the police Please see Power, AS A.ddavi lle, 0~ Hi' My name is "Musical Misha".

Kolff was awarded the Fritz J. and · Dolores H. Russ Prize a $500,000 award recognizing outstanding achievement in engineering Tuesday. The of National . Academy Engineering presented the . honor at a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Fritz Russ is a 1942 graduate of Ohio University. Kolff, 92, engineered the first dialysis machine out of sausage casings and part of an automobile water pump during World War II in Nazioccupied Holland. He was driven' by the experience of seeing a young man suffer through the agony of kidney failure as hi s body gradually lost t.he ability to filter out waste. At least 1.2 million people are alive today because of kidney dialysis. He has since developed the heart-lung machine, the intra-aortic balloon pump heart assist device, the artificia! eye and the artificial heart made famous by its first human recipient , Barney Clark. Kolff currently resides in Newton Square, Pa., and is fine-tuning his next invention, the wearable artificial lung. · Modeled after the Nobel Prize, the Russ Prize recognizes outstanding achievement in an engineering field that contributes to the advancement of science and engineering and improves the quality of life. The award was established in 1999 through a multimillion-dollar endowment to Ohio University from Fritz Russ and his wife, Dolores, to honor the engineering profession and lo attract more people to the field. The first Russ Prize was presented in 2001 to Earl Bakken and Wilson Greatbatch, inventors of the first human heart pacemakers. The Russes have dedicated a lifetime to engineering. Their support and commitment to the discipline helped construct modern facilities and programs at Ohio· University and Wright State University. In 1994. the Ohio University's College· of Engineering was re-nameQ an d dedicated to Fri'tz J. ari<l Dolores H. Russ. _..

Another few minutes were devot~d to the health insurance program that covers 40 million Americans in the president's speech in Grand Rapids, Mich., the next day. Now what are the chances Medicare reform is going to happen a sound bite at a time? · Wait a minute, though: Not all sound bites are equal. Even while providing few details on his plan, Mr. Bush may have ac hieved, with brevity, what years of clebate failed to do. That is to jump-start talks with Congress over workable ·solutions to Medicare's most troubling woes. The venerable program lacks outpatient prescri ption drug coverage, offers skimpy preventive care, and its budget-busting costs are growing. . The basic health care concept in the Bush reform is entirely workable: Offer seniors the option of enrolling in a new version of Medicare that relies on managed care. These privately run health plans would offer drug coverage. plus preventive and chronic treatments typically covered at no charge by workin~ Americans' HMOs. Sure, put aside tor the moment the drawbacks: That the plan costs more than a deficit-plagued government responsibly can afford while Mr. Bush pursues draconian tax cuts in a $2.23 trillion budget presented Monday. That it risks leaving lowincome seniors without drug coverage. That the whole effort may run headlong into presidential politics on Capitol Hill. Congressional leaders would be wise to seize this as the moment to make Medicare repairs. That's because the President's initiative represents progre ss in key ways. First, Mr. Bush has doubled his previous bets. He's offering to spend $400 billion over a decade to bring seniors a drug benefit, twice what he suggested last year. Second, the model he endorses in concept has been tested with success. Since 1997, seniors in many regions have been able to get drug coverage and other care options•by enrolling in private managed-care plans under the Medicare+Choice program. ' Seniors generally are pleased with these plans - until they' re tossed out. Private he~lth insurers have jettisoned 2.4 million retirees , saying government reimbursements are too low. That makes the Bush strategy a question of getting the dollars right. As the HMOs found, seniors' health care is costly. Better-off seniors should expect to pay a small share, but not low-income retirees. They need the drug benefits the most, and they should have equal access under any plan design. As for cutting the overall cost of Medicare, the Bush strategy may not produce any miracle savings, judging from the HMOs' experience. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Tuesday. Feb . 25. the 56th day of 2003. There are 309 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History : On Feb. 25, 1793. the department heads of the U.S . government met with President Washington at hi s home for the first Cabinet meeting on record. On thi s date: In 1570; Pope Pius V excommunicated England's Queen · Elizabeth I In 1901 , United States Steel Corp. was incorporated by J.P. Morgan. • · In 19 13, the 16th Amendment to the U.S .

Communists seized power in Czechoslovakia. In 1973, the Stephen Sondheim musical "A Little Night Mu sic" opened at Broadway's Shubert Theater. · In 1983, playwright Tennessee Williams was found dead in his New York hotel suite; he was 71. In 1986, President Ferdinand E. Marcos tled the Philippines after 20 years of rule in the wake of a tai nted election ; Corazon Aquino assll\ned the pres idency. In 199 1, during the\ Persian Gul f War, 28 Americans were killed when an Iraqi Scud missile hit a U.S. barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Ten years ago : President Clinton ordered the Pentagon to mount an airdrop of relief supplies into Bosnia-Herzegovina.

It's our Constitution) not just John Ashcift's The disclosure by the Center for Public Integri ty in Washington of John Ashcroft's newest - and most dangerous - raid on the Bill of Rights, a sequel to the USA Patriot Act, should be a reminder to Congress that this is our Constitution. not only Ashcroft's or George W. Bush's. · In The New York Sun, a largely conservative newspaper, Errol Louis wrote on the Feb. I0 editorial page that "the 80-page document is a catalog of ·authoritarianism that runs counter to the basic tenets of modern democracy." You can download that document at www.publicintegrity.org. · I have the entire Justice Department draft of the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, which is labeled "confidential ," but is not classified. This expands on the USA Patriot Act, which ·was rushed through Congress soon after Sept. II , 200 I, when many in Congress dido' t even have time to read the final bill. Now, with our fundamental liberties again at stake, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D- Vt.) has pointed out . on Feb. I0 that "for months, and as recently as just last week , Justice Department officials have denied to members of the Judiciary Committee that they were drafting another anti-terrorism package." The Domestic Security draft is dated Jan . 9. The Center for Public Integrity, in the interest of constitutional Moreover, under Section I , an American citizen who provides "material support" to a group that the United States has designated as a "terrorist organi zation" can be stripped of his or her citizenship. Unti I now, an American could only lose citizenship by declaring a clear intent to abandon it. Now, the bill says, an "intent to relinquish nationality need not be manifested in words, but can be inferred from conduct." Who will do the inferring? An employee of Ashcroft? The same Ashcroft who has accused hi s critics of "(scaring) peace- loving people with phantoms of lost liberty." Thi s section of the bill means that, if you were to send a check for the legal activities of an organization and, unbeknownst to you. it has been labeled as a terrorist group, then you could end up deported, as a person without a country. Deportations of American citi zens are not "phantoms of lost liberty." Under existing law, the FBI can collect DNA identification records of persons convicted of various crimes. But under Section 302 of Ashcroft's ev,er-expanding assault on · our liberties, the attorney general or secretary of defense will be able to col-. lect, analy ze and maintain DNA samples of "suspected" terrorists. That includes mere association with groups the government broadly defines as "terrori st." What does "association" mean ? What ~0 Nat Henthoff democracy, put the secret draft on its Web site Feb. 7. The same day, the center's director, Charles Lewis, further broke the news on PBS ' "NOW with Bill Moyers." Hi s was an act of patriotism, for, as Thomas Jefferson said, "the People are the only sure reliance for the preser• vation of our liberty." I can't, within a single column, detail every abuse against the Bill of Rights contained in the Justice Department draft. But, to begin with, one of the most damaging abuses is Section 201 , which would overturn a federal court decision mandating that the government reveal the identities of those persons it has detained in the investigation of the Sept. II terrorist attacks. The new bill ,states that "the government need not di sclose information about individuals detained in investigation s of terrorism until ... the initiation of criminal charges" - no matter how long that might take. · If passed, thi s would become the first time in American history that secrct arrests would be specifically permitted under the American rule of law. are the criteria that can result in such ·severe effects on Americans? After reading the ominous 80 pages of Ashcroft's intentions to allow our terrorist enemies to undermine the freedoms we are fighting to protect, I turned to the Supreme Court's 1866 decision, Ex parte Milligan . The Court ruled that Abraham Lincoln had violated the Constitution during the Civil War by suspending habeas corpus, subjecting many dissenters to military tribunals while civilian courts were still open. Indignantly, the Court said that "the Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in p<:ace, and covers with the shteld of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances." The Court also recognized that this nation "has no right to expect that it will always have wise and human rulers, sincerely attached to the principles of the Constitution." "We the People" mu st turn to Congress to protect us from this out-of-control Justice Department, since the president has yet to keep it within the bounds of the Constitution and its principles. Clearly,' they can't be trusted to solely interpret the Constitution, which doesn' t give them the _power anyway. (Nat Hentojj is a nationally renowned authority on the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights.) Americas confrontaJion with Iraq is no joke French jokes are all the rage. From comedian Dennis Miller came the crack, "The trouble the French are causing us over Iraq reminds you why the only French phrase most Americans know is 'au countraire."' Or, trom Jay L.eno: "So, the French won't help us get Saddam Hussein out of Iraq. What's new? They didn't help us get the Germans out of France!" Or, from an anonymous " How many source : Frenchmen does it take to defend Pari s? No one knows. It's never been tried." The problem is th at the rift with France is no laughing maller. It go11s far deeper than Iraq policy and could end up increasing the distance between the United States and Europe. Inordinately proud of its history - which includes a quick collapse to Gem1an forces in World War II and collaboration with Nazi occupation forces - France is smitten with envy at American power, cultural influence and economic vitality. Basically, the French see themselves as the leader, with Germany, of a Europe acting as a "counterweight" to the "hegemony" of the United States. French-led Europe wants to depend on the United States to handle necessary military operations like the first Gulf War and the conquest of Serbia, but it wants to spend its own wealth on soc ial programs and use international institutions like the Un ited Nations to bind the United States. Responding to prodding at home and abroad, the Bush The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Pomeroy/Middleport, Ohio Thesday, February 25, 2003 The Daily ,sentinel BeHe Pearce Tuesday, February 25, 2003 Morton Kondracke administration agreed to take the case against Saddam Hussein to the United Nations. The Security Coun cil passed un animou sly Resolution 144 1, givi ng Iraq one " last opport unity" to "totall y disarm ," but the French are now re-interpreting it to authori ze an endless process of inspections, delaying war indefinitely. . France's motives are complex . They could be partly economic: to protect French oil concess ions in Iraq. They cou ld also be designed to prevent the expo~ure of past French co-operation in Iraq's development of weapons of mass destruction. And French motives could be pol itical - and geopolitical: By overwhelming margins, European public opinion is hostile to a war with Iraq. France has helped stoke that opinion and now is pandering to 11. Even more deeply, France helps to cultivate an image of itself as a mature, sophi sticated, law-abiding nation - and of the United States as a "warmonger" or "bully" and our president as an "adventurer." The Bush administration has not always handled European relation5 as ~ftly a~ it might. Not only did it reject - for good reason - such Europeai) pmjecL~ a' the Kyoto treaty-on global warin- ing and the International Court of Justice, it was dismissive of European opinion in the process. While Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's delineation between an "old Europe" (consisting of France, Gennany and Belgium) and a pro-U.S. "new Europe" (that includes newly free Eastern European countries) may have been correct, his divisive language wasn't necessari ly appropriate. It's one thing for late-night comics to tell jokes about the French, but Cabinet members ought to .be more diplomatic toward other nati ons, even those acting as roadblocks to U.S. policy. A U.S.-led victory in the comi ng Gulf War could do much to improve America's image -- particularly if casualties are low, U.S.-led forces are greeted m; liberators by the Iraqis and huge stores of chemica l and biological weapons are uncovered. Even then, the Bush administration should do its best to res tore popular respect for this country, especially by internationa li zing post-war relief and governance in lraq. All that said, it's important for Americans and Europeans to understand that the United States will not be acti ng "alone" or "unilaterally" if it makes war on Saddam Hussein without a new U.N. authorization . Thirty-five nations have endorsed U.S. policy, led by Britain. Spain. Portugal, Australia and Italy and Czech including the Republic. Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Arab publi c opinion is overwhelmingly hostile to U.S. policy, but not in Kuwait, which was conquered by and then liberated from Iraq. And Arab states such as Jordan, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are allowing their territory to be used in the run-up to war. French President Jacques Chirac was so outraged that Eastern European countries such as Bulgari a and the Baltic countrie s supported U.S. policy that, he scolded them in contemptuous terms Monday in Brussels threatened them, in fact, with denial of membership in the European Union. Another name for that is bullying - just what France accuses the United States of engaging in. It's what France wants to do within its sphere of influence. The fundamental flaw in French policy - which is to rely on U.N. inspectors to disann Iraq -- is that it will never work. If inspectors find nothing, France will say that they should keep looking. If they find something, France will say that inspections are working and that they should keep looking. Eventually especially after it gets too hot for desert fi~hting around April - France wtll begin relaxing the pressure on Iraq. This is exactly what it did before, after Iraq ejected weapons inspectors in 1998. While confronting Iraq, the United States is also confronting France. By ousting Saddam Hussein, the United States can also diminish French influence in Europe. It's an outcome to hope for.

Madden also discussed problems with residents who left Homeland security money lacking, governors say WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's governors are turning to Congress in their quest for more money for homeland security and education after hearing President Bush offer tlexibility but littie new cash. The governors, nearly all of whom face severe budget problems that have spurred widespread cuts and pressure to raise taxes, were to meet Tuesday with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., among others. Bush met the governors Monday and told them that tax cuts and health care reform would boost their ailing economies, not new federa] relief. Bush was blunt about the realities. "Our budget is in a deficit. It's because we went through a recession. And we' re at war," he told the National Governors· Association at the White House. . "We face common challenges. I look forward to working with you all to meet those challenges," he said. He later the president took more than a dozel) questions in private and discussed health care, homeland security, tax cuts and foreign policy, governors said. The governors also heard details of the Bush administration's plan to give states more control over their Medicaid prpgrams. Some were encouraged; others worried the plan would leave their states underfunded years ahead. Also Monday. governors overcame a parnsan divide to approve a statement that Washington was not providing enough money for homeland security, special educalion and Bush's own education program, which he calls "Leave No Child Behind." But Republicans, backing away from further criticism, refused to include specific dollar requests. "I don 't think any of us came away with any false expectation that the federal government can or will bail us out," said Republican Mike Huckabee of Arkansas. 'They're looking at structural change. That's what I'm encouraged by." Democrat Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania said Bush made clear that "beyond · flexibility and some money for homeland security, he 's not going to be very helpful." Rendell estimated the states would seek $10 billion to $12 billion for the three areas. -On homeland security, governors want flexibility to spend the additional $3.5 billion Bush has requested lor next year's budget. -On Bush's education initiative, governors asked for an unspecified amount of additional funds to pay for programs and improvements th • N Chi required by e ' 0 ld Left Behind Act." -0 ·1 d · n spec•a e ucauon, governors said the government needs to spend more than twice as much as now for proper implementation of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act.

Just ask any deputy at the Meigs County Sheriff's Department. In the trunk of every one of the sheriff's cruisers is a bag of bears given by members of Bush said he supported more flexibility on homeland security funds. On health care, governors were enthusiastic about a federal effort to cover prescription drugs through Medicare. But their response was tepid to a Bush plan to let states reshape large pieces of their Medicaid programs. Under the plan, states would get extra dollars for the first seven years; to make up for it, they would get less for the next three. "That's a little bit like stick it to your successor," Rendell said. It might work out if the economy is stronger by the time the funding falls, he said, "but it's a dangerous game." Governors agreed they need more infonnation, and set up a task force to consider the proposal. the Sonshine Circle of the Dorcas Bethany Church of Racine.

Scoreboard - Members of Anne Seidenable's Tae Bo class execute punches in rhythm to the music at Racine Elementary School. Seidenable will begin offering classes at the PVH Wellness Center starting March 4. (Andre Tirado) Keeping warm and fit with Tae Bo BY ANDRE TIRADO Staff writer POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - It may be hard to imagine with all the snow and ice around, but titness isn ' t all bad. After all , it does keep you warm. In fact, with no power and a cold house, I'd rather go out and get. warm by sweating out some calories at the Pleasant Valley Hospital Wellness Center. Which is exactly what Anne Seidenable and her Tae Bo class will be doing every Monday, Wednesday ~nd Saturday starting on March 4. If you can be sure of one thing, it's that you 'II get a good workout by attending these sessions. Seiednable has been teaching these sessions for some time in Racine at Southern Elementary School ami seeing one helps explain why the students are so motivated, and also so loyal to Seidenable and the program. After watching one session , it wasn't hard to get the students to talk about why they first chose Tae Bo , and also why they keep going after month s of dedication. Students credit the fitness program, and Seidenable. with helping th em in ways that. go far beyond losing weight or staying in shape. "! think I have a more positive outlook on things, how I do things at home and how I put forth the el'fon, I just have a better push," said a student rrom the class. The team aspect of the workout e re- ates a bond bet ween the students and is positive motivation to keep going to the sessions. "I exercise by myself, but it's much harder to do it by yourself rather than come to the group," said another student. The sessions also produce bal ance by creating a consistent workout that changes as you get used to the moves. Seidenab le emphasized how important it is to keep stlrdents on their toes even when they are resting. "Cool down doesn ' t just mean you're cooling down your muscles, you can't think about what you're going to do after you leave toni ght because the minute I keep you on your toes, you can't be thinking Please see Tae Bo, 6 Girls basketball Southern fails to recover in game against Whiteoak Staff report Southern , 16-6, bows out - - - - - - - -- - with a ftne record, a T.V.C.

Wh iteoak won. 62-36. AKRON (AP) - As each wide-eyed child approached him, LeBron James took his pen and carefully signed his autograph on the back of their T-shirts. "C'mere 23," he said to one little boy, who like the rest of the group were St. wearing replica Vincent-St. Mary jerseys with."James, 23" on them. On a special night, the kids got a cool souvenir. So did LeBron. The nation's top high school player, who jeopardized his 'amateur career by accepting two gift jerseys, had his jersey retired Monday night during a ceremony following St. Vincent-St. Mary's 90-43 win over Akron Firestone. James didn't play in the hastily scheduled game. He had to sit out as part of , a two-game suspension he received for accepting two "throwback" sports jerseys for · free from a Cleveland clothing store last month. Following the game, James was given a framed replica of his white-greenand-gold home No. 23 jersey that will permanently hang in the school's gymnasium after his gradua· tion in June. "It's .. unimaginable," James said. "It's great. It's not just all me, I feel like my teammates were a part of that, too. On the other side of that jersey, it should say teammates, because they helped me get to this point." Before receiving the jersey, James and a crowd of 3,500 at Rhodes Arena watched a video tribute of the 18-rear-old player, whose nse to superstardam began a year ago when he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. James and his mother, Gloria, stood arm-in-arm at halfcourt as the video played overhead. "The time just flew by," James said. "Looking up there at my freshman year, seeing how little I was." St. Vincent-St. Mary coach Dru Joyce II also noted how quickly James' celebrated career has passed. "A ll eight years flew by," said Joyce, who also coached James in AAU. "It's been great.

(AP)Outfielder Reggie Sanders arrived at spring training Monday, but his signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates wasn't officially announced because the club was waiting for results from his physical exam. Sanders met briefly with his new teammates Monday morning before leaving the clubhouse to take his physical and have blood drawn. The results of those tests were the only thing keeping the Pirates from officially announcing the signing of Sanders to a one-year contract worth approximately $1 million. "As we saw last week with (Randall) Simon, there are occasions where they could ask for additional testing," Pirates general manager Dave Littlefteld said. ''That's why you do these things. You don't know what is going to happen." Simon missed the first two days pf full-squad workouts last week because additional medical test~ were required before he could pass his physical. "Reggie is excited about joining the Pirates," said his agent, Mike Powers. "It's a good opportunity. We talked to a lot of teams and had a couple of offers, but at the end of the day. Pittsburgh gave Reggie an opportunity to play every day." Sanders, 35, will be playing for his sixth team in the past six seasons. Last year with the San Francisco Giants, he batted .250 with 23 home runs and 85 RB Is while playing in a career-high 140 games. The Pirates concluded negotiations with Powers on Wednesday. It . wasn't until Sunday mght, however, that Sanders caught a flight to Aorida. "With him being out there on the free-agent market so late and not knowing where he was going, he more or less needed a couple of days to get things to~ether personally," Littlefield ~d. .

I was in a similar situation - my friend was anorexic. I, too, was afraid of betraying her, but my fear for her life finally overrode that. Sobbing, I called her parents and talked with her mother. My friend was furious and refused to speak to me for a long time. I felt guilty for revealing her secret. Her parents thanked me and saw that she got much-needed help. Today she is healthy, happily married and has children of her own. And we are friends again. I want that young lady to know that it 's OK- even if it feels wrong - · to tell the truth, to ask for help, and yes, to betray a trust if it's a matter of life and death. Bulimia, and any other eating disorder, falls · into that category. - STILL FRIENDS IN WISCONSIN DEAR STILL FRIENDS: Bless you for wanting to support her.

He will be lobbying leaders in Columbus for about $506,000 in funding to potentially provide a new FOof, better plumbing and other necessary improvements that could cost the district very little money. Grueser said funding for these projects is based on percentages. Depending on the project, the state provides a certain percentage of the funding and local revenues make up the difference. If the local money spent on other projects in the district counts toward the total percentage required by the state, tl;!en the funding for additional projects would come more from the state . The school di strict has about 15 to 20 feet up a bank to a home where they were transported by private vehicle back to their homes . Webb was immediately placed on paid administrative leave. He will be on leave until the investigation is ·complete, Evans said. Webb was unable to be reached for comment. Family members of students on the bus also refused comment. Evans said that she cannot comment on the length of time Webb has been employed as a bus driver, or any previous . infractions he may have. She added that the bus engine may not be able to be repaired. "All of our drivers are instructed to always avoid going through water or any road that is not safe," Evans said. "They are instructed to go only where the road is safe." Evans said that students who cannot be reached by the bu ses due to hi gh water or other dangerous road conditions can ' t be transported to school. "Unfortunately, that's a reality in our rural area," she said . "We realized that there would be some students that would not be able to attend school ,. this week because of high water or power out· ages, but we felt that we had to get school started . " agam.

Grueser said that if the state chooses to accept these expenditures against the proposed building upgrade requests, then the "best case scenario" would be that the district pays nothing. The "worst case scenario" is that the district pays $87,000 for the improvements. Grueser is optlmtstlc about district's request for additional funding from the facilities commission. "I feel good about it," he said. "The needs for the school are certainly overdue." Board member Ron Cammarata is also hopeful for additional funding. He said the district has been getting by with less funding for the state, but that these past sacrifices would pay off future benefits if the additional funding is approved. BY J.
