Thank you, too, for your dir~ct and sup· portive reply in which you confirmed that (a) people with disabilities DO have sexual feelings; (b) healthy relationships build self-esteem; (c) projecting personal moral values on an adult who is dependent is wrong; and (d) people with disabilities shq,uld be encouraged to live lifefas fully as possible.

DIEGO DEAR TOM: The letter from "Vic" touched me so deeply I knew it had to be printed, and the reply came from my heart. The mail I Dear Abby ADVICE have received regarding that letter has been both moving and educational. People with disabilities have rights human rights and legal rights - to live life as fully as possible. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I speak as a retired Christian pastor who has seen the hun that "traditional values" unfairly inflict on people like "Kent" and "Vic." Our society has failed miserably to understand the emotional and sex.ual needs of people with disabilities. Since we have no institutionally sanctioned means of responding to such needs, I believe "Vic" took the next best alternative. I hope you will initiate vigorous dialogue on this subject and raise new awareness. Thank you for your sensitive and caring statement. CONCERNED CLERIC IN FLORIDA DEAR CONCERNED CLERIC:· Thank you for speakin~ out although if my matl is any indication, many other Christians do not share your view. DEAR ABBY: I know the pain "Kent" is feeling. I have been paralyzed fcir four years. Women ignore me completely now that I am in a chair. I am lonely and yearn for female attention. People don't realize how noimal people in wheelchairs are. I am the same as they are. I just cannot move. For "Kent's" parents to be so narrow-minded is terrible. He shouldn't be locked up and isolated. Fonunately, my own parents are more understandmg. but it is still difficult for them to understand how important female companionship is to me. - BEEN SOUTH THERE IN DAKOTA DEAR BEEN THERE: Bless them for putting your happiness first. DEAR ABBY: I am an adult protective services worker. Providing .care for il person does not confer the right to control. In Oregon, isolatin~ adults who are physically dtsabled for this or any other reason is a violation of their ri~hts and state law. "Vic' should call the local disability services office and speak to an adult protective services screener or investigator. The goal is not to "call in the law" on "Kent's" parents or punish them, but to help them gain a clear understanding of the rights' of adults no matter what their physical condition or care requirements. -AN APS WORKERIN OREGON DEAR APS WORKER: Obviously, "Kent's" parents need to gain insight.

He said that it takes at least 25 damaged homes in a county in onier to qualify for "individual assistance" through a state or federal agency. Right now that many residents have not reponed damaged homes. "So unless we have 25 homes with damage, we don't qualify. That's why it is so important to call the Red Cross to report damage," he added. The number is 1-866-438-4636. Byer said that as far as he knows, all of the damage assessments were done by the Red Cross. He said that he provided a list of places for the Red Cross to look at but since some of the damage could not easily be seen by driving by, he thought places had been missed. "Somehow I feel not a very thorough job was done because I keep getting calls," said the EMA director. Byer explained that there is just an "outside chance" that any help will be available for private property damage. The state is now trying to get a presidential major disaster declaration which might prove helpful in .getting some money in to help those who had considerable damage, he reported.

' ,.___ ...,, __ - ~ --- -~ -- ~---- . -- Wednesday, March 5, 2003 Watchdog group .blasts NRC's handling of Davis-Besse OAK HARBOR (AP) - A nuclear watchdog group said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission used a flawed analysis to allow the DavisBe&S\l plantto postpone safety inspections in the fall of 2001. The Union of Concerned Scientists released its own 29-page analysis of the NRC's decision on the safety inspections. The report said the agency's top officials knew that granting the six-week delay was wrong and that the NRC's Washington-based supervisors made the decision without much contact with the agency's Chicago regional office, which oversees Davis-Besse. The plant, located near Toledo, has been shut down since last February, when it was closed for maintenance. One month .later, a leak was discovered that had allowed boric acid to eat nearly through the 6-inch-thick steel cap covering the plant's reactor vessel. A liner under the hole was still in place. David Lochbaum, a nuclear safety engineer with the watchdog group, said the NRC backed down to the plant's owner, FirstEnergy Corp., and gave the company's financial concerns too 01uch weight. NRC spokesman Scott Bur.nell said the agency was reviewing the group's report and its claims. FirstEnergy's spokesman had no comment. The company believes it will be ready to restart the plant by next month, but the NRC has not set a timetabie for the restart. The group's study is based on about I ,000 pa~es of transcripts of depositions taken by the NRC's inspector general in interviews with federal and FirstEnergy officials and obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. The inspector general already has been critical of the commission in a separate report to Congress. Lochbaum 's analysis is based on testimony from top officials, including Samuel Collins, the NRC's head of reactor regulation. The analysis describes the compensatory measures that FirstEnergy proposed so it could be allowed to operate six weeks longer as meaningless "window dressing." "AU of those (compensatory measures), that's nice to have, and it may be enough to move some people ... from one place to another," Collins testified. "But when you get right down to what impact is on risk and significance, it's not that great." Lochbaum's findings are similar to those of an NRC analyst whose letter to commission officials was made public last week. Steven Long of the NRC staff said that the risk analysis FirstEnergy used in arguing that the plant was safe was inappropriate because neither the company nor the agency had enough data about Davis-Besse to make it valid. . Schools coalition Firefighters returns to original donating sick time court over funding COLUMBUS (AP) · The group whose lawsuit started a decade of school funding debate asked the court where it all began to supervise the- state's response to the latest ruling declaring the funding system unconstitutional. A Perry County judge should schedule a meeting between the coalition of about 500 schools and the state "It? supervise the development of a remedy" for school funding, according to Tuesday's court filing by the Coalition for Equity and Ade9.uacy of School Funding. A 1991 lawsuit on behalf of Perry County school boy Nathan DeRolph led to three rulings by the Ohio Supreme Court declaring the system unconstitutional. The most recent ruling came in December, when the Supreme Court upheld previous decisions that the funding system favors rich districts over poor by relying too much on local property taxes. For example, voters in Meigs local schools in southern Ohio raised $1 ,l12 per student last year. By contrast, voters in Beachwood in suburban Cleveland raised $15,444 per student. The coalition cited orders that the Perry County court issued four years ago requiring the state to develop proposals to fix the education system. Those orders were delayed while the case worked its way up to the Supreme Court. The coalit;on said a response was required now that the Supreme Court has removed itself from the case after its December decision. The motion carne a day before Gov. Bob Taft was expected to announce cuts to school funding to balance the state budget. William Phillis, the coalition's director, said it was inexcusable that the state's only action regarding the case since December was to reduce education funding. Messages seeking comment were left with Taft's office and with Attorney General Jim Petro. Former coach may appeal dismissal --10,2000 · · 5,048.82 March 4, 2003 821 .99 PageA2 LONDON (AP~-Aformer football coach who was at the center of a dispute over prayer in school says he may appeal the dismissal of his defamation lawsuit The decision in Madison County Common Pleas Court ended the fOIU'-year legal battle between David Daubenrnire and the city school district Daubenrnire had accused former district administrators and members of the former group Citizens Advocating Responsible Education of repeatedly saying false things about him in newspapers, in his personnel files and at school ~ meelings. He said the five accused him of misusing public funds, violating school . policies and leading religious activities during school hours. In the suit, he sought darnages of $625,000. Conunon Pleas Judge Robert D. Nichols Iilst week threw out the lawsuit, saying that Daubenmire voluntarily made himself the "central figure" in the dispute. . Nichols said Daubenrnire exposed himself to criticism when he posed for newspaper pictures, appeared on newscast&. and voluritarily gave radio interviews on the subject of prayer in schools. "Our complaint was never about relig10n or prayer," Daubenmire said. "I never ran from that issue. This complaint was that these people lied about me." Daubenmire, now a radioshow host and leader of Pass the Salt Ministries, has 40 days to appeal the decision. Dauberunire, then coach at London High School, was named in a lawsuit filed · in 1999 against the district by the American Civil Liberties Union. Some parents had complained that the coach's practice ofleading players in prayer violated the required separation of government and religion.

COLUMBUS (AP) City firefighters are donaling sick leave and vacation time to a trainee recovering from brain surgery. Trina McCoy said she was amazed at the generosity because she was only in her eighth week on the job when she got sick. "I feel so blessed and so loved," she said. "Other people have said if it was them starting a new job, they would have probably lost their job." McCoy had a seizure during a training class Feb. 6. Doctors diagnosed a noncancerous brain tumor. Columbus City Council on Monday unanimously passed an ordinance allowmg firefighters to transfer ·their paid leave to McCoy . The firefighters said they'd like to donate enough tilne so that she can be off work for eight to 10 weeks. "We all stick together," fellow recruit Chris Kirchner said.

LEBANON (AP) - A man serving time at the Lebanon Correctional Institution for two slayings has been charged with killing his cellmate after the two argued over a dusty television. Daniel Hairston, 26, of Cleveland, is to be arraigned Wednesday in Warren County Common Pleas Court. He is charged with aggravated murder in the Jan. 6 slaying of Ronald Rogers, 32. Hairston could face the death penalty if convicted. "They had been cellmates for about two weeks and were not getting along," said acting Prosecutor Rachel Hutzel. "The victim apparently got some dust on the defendant's TV and he was upset about it." Hairston stabbed Rogers in the neck a few times with a homemade knife as the men were getting dressed about 5:30 a.m., leaving only minor wounds, Hutzel said. She said Hairston, who is being held in isolation at the prison, used the crook' of his arm to stran~le Rogers, with· asphyxiation listed as the cause of death. Hairston is serving a sentence of 66 years to life for two aggravated murders. He pleaded ~uilty to shooting and kilhng a customer and a store owner in separate robberies in Cleveland in 1995. Rogers was serving a seven. to 25-year sentence for rape after being convicted in 1989 in Franklin County. The slaying was the third in the state prison system since early 2000.

Not only will Democrats give Bush more opposition, many Republicans are uneasy about the consequences of the second round of tax cuts. There is concern about steep losses of government revenue in future years. Bush got a generally good reception from Republicans for what he fi~st presented as an economic growth and stimulus package.

There are 30 I days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: Fifty years ago, on March 5, 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died at age 73 after 29 years in power. On this date: ln 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who'd been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people. In 1849, Zachary Taylor took the oath of office at his presidential inauguration. In 1868, the Senate was organized into a Court of Impeach ment to decide charges against President ·Andrew Johnson. In 1933, in German · parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote, enabling it to join with the Nationalists to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag. In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. In 1953. Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev died in Moscow at age 61. In 1963 . country music performers Patsy Cline, "Cowboy" Copas and "Hawkshaw" Hawkins died in a plane crash near Camden, Tenn. In 1970, a nuclear non-proliferation treaty went into effect after 43 nations ratified it. In 1982, comedian John Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose in a rented bungalow in Hollywood; he was 33. In 1986. in Lebanon, Islamic Jihad issued a statement saying it had "executed" French hostage Michel Seurat, who had been abducted almost a year earlier. . Ten years ago: The White House sought new ways to inflict what a spokesman called "real pain and real price" on Serb aggressors in Bosnia by tightening the U.N. blockade on supplies and money to the region . Five years ago: Details of President Clinton's deposition testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment . case against him were published in The Washington Post, prompting an angry denunciation from the president for the news leak. NASA sc ientists said enough water was frozen in the loose suiI of the moon to support a lunar base and perhaps, one day, a human colony. One year ago: President Bush slapped punishing tariffs of eig ht percent to 30 percent on several types of imported stee l in an effort to aid the aili ng U.S. industry.

Thought for Today : "More tears have been shed over rnen "s lack of ma nners than their lac k of moral s." - Helen Hathaway, American writer (I H93-1932). .., - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : ·!' Tax cuts not ·designed to benefit 'the The loudest objection voiced by Democrats to President Bush's tax cut proposals is that they will . benefit mostly "the rich." Depending on whom you ·call "rich," this is technically true, since the top 5 percent of all taxpayers paid 56.5 percent of all mcome taxes in 2000 and the top half of taxpayers paid more than 96 percent. If taxes are going to be cut in any serious way, these are the taxpayers that will benefit most. You certainly wouldn't get much stimulus by slashing only the taxes of that half of taxpayers who pay the other 3.9 percent. Democrats never define whom they mean by "rich," because their purpose is simply to stir up envy of some Americans on the part of others. If you earn only $30,000 a year and think somebody earning $75,000 is rich, be' the Democrats' guest and vote according!>'. If this whole Democratic argument simply insults your intelligence, that's OK with them - · they don' t have a very high opinion 'o f your intelligence anyway. But let's study the argument a little more closely. Why would Bush call for a tax cut, if its only result is to benefit people who are William Rusher already rich? The best the Democrats and the liberals in the media can do is suggest that Bush is a close friend of many rich people (he comes from . Texas, after all), and just enjoys showering more cash on his pals. · Yet, does anybody seriously think that someone elected to the presidency is likely to have no higher ambition than further enriching his alreadywealthy friends? Isn't it far likelier th~tt he sincerely believes cutting taxes for everyone, including the wealthy, will have a powerful, stimulative effect on the economy? I have been an active Republican and conservative for more than half a century, and in that time have argued tirelessly for lower taxes. But I can honestly say that it never crossed my mind to do so as a favor to "the rich." I knew, of course, that they rich~:J would benefit, but my purpose was always to encourage the economy. The rich, I figured, could and would take care of themselves. One Democratic argument for a reduction in the payroll tax (which, unlike the income tax, falls hardest on the relatively poor) is that "They will spend the money immediately" - · whereas the rich, by implication, won't spend the money saved by income tax reduction. There may indeed be a case for a reduction (or another proposal - a "holiday") in the payroll tax, and it is probably true that those who get one are like- be used (by the government:, or corporation that issued them) to earn more money, through investment in new 1 projects that will likewise '! stimulate the economy. .~ And what if Mr. Rich '1 Man simply uses the money to buy stocks? Then :~ he is investing in existing'' corporations, whose shares _ • will rise accorAin·g ly - ·! enriching in the process the pension funds of the unions, corporations, and ·~ other entities invested in those stocks. In short, there is practi- ~ cally nothing "the rich" can "; do with the money they ·~· save on tax cuts except use my.. But what will "the rich" do with money saved on income taxes? Will they simply stuff it in a mattress? Hardly. At a minimum, they will deposit it in a bank. And what will the bank do with it? They will do what banks do : make commercial loans, issue mortgages and put the money into Circulation earning more money - in other words, stimulating the economy. If the rich man buys bonds, rather than leaving the money in the bank, the money represented by those bonds will likewise And that is true even ifthey ' ' simply spend it as , Democratic Sens.

Agents from the GAO's oftice of investigation went undercover to see if they could enter the country at various land, air and sea ports of entry using counterfeit identification documents. And despite the supposedly upgraded security at the nation's ports of entry in the wake of the Sept. II, 200 I, attacks, the agents were able to enter undetected. "Immigration and Naturalization Service and U.S. Customs Service offi· cials never questioned the authenticity of the counterfeit documents," said Cramer, "and our agents had no difficulty entering the country using them." The border guards who cursorily inspected the identification documents present· ed by the undercover agents did not recognize that holograms on fake driver' s licenses were not authentic and that birth certificates had no watermarks.

Middleport group begins July 4 planning BY BRIAN J. Staff wr~or REED MIDDLEPORT - Plans for the July 4 celebration in Middleport include an oldfashioned picnic in the park, followed by the community's annual fireworks display. Susan Baker of the Middleport Community Association's July 4 committee reported on plans for the holiday celebration during the association's regular meeting Tuesday morning. Baker said plans call for chan11es in the concessions offenngs, to allow a better variety of food and to include as m'any non-profit organizations as possible in the celebration. .In .the past, non-profit organizations have offered refreshments from tables and booths in Dave Diles Park. This year, Bak'er said, a full old-fashioned picnic menu will be offered, and will ins:lude hot dogs, lemonad'e, watermelon ' and other traditional Independence Day fare. Local organizations will be asked to staff the concessions area with volun_ teers. The association plans a Basket Bingo event on May 15, with proceeds to benefit July 4 activities. Baker said a fund- raising letter will be sent to local businesses in May, and firecracker-'style collection canisters will be placed in stores after April I to raise funds for the fireworks display. Baker said plans are also underway for the community's annual ·Yellow Flag ,Yard Sale, in cooperation Pomeroy with the Merchants Association .

(AP) After watching dozens of Navy ships deploy in recent months in preparation for a possible war with Iraq, sailors on three amphibious ships left Tuesday in this port 's last planned deployment for the near future. "Trust me. we all want to go over there and get it over with," said Capt. David C. Taylor. commander of Amphibious Squadron Six. He said the crews had trained hard and had been ready to go since late November. The amphibious assault ship USS lwo Jima left Norfolk Naval Station on its maiden deployment, along with the amphibious transport dock ship USS Nashville. The amphibious dock landing ship USS Carter Hall left from nearby Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base. The ships carried about 2,000 sailors and were headed to Morehead City, N.C., to pick up about 2,200 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit based .at Camp Lejeune.

Crew members made the WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush sa~s North Korea must be convmced that it is wrong "to be threatening the United States" with a resumption of nuclear weapons development. In an intemew with 14 newspapers from around the country, Bush noted Monday that diplomatic efforts are under way to persuade China, Russia, South Korea and Japan to work with Washington in seeking a diplomatic solution to the standoff involving the nuclear weapons program. Those countries should 'join us in convincing North Korea that it is not in their nation's interest to be threatening the United States, or anybody else for that matter, with a nuclear weapon," the president said. Asked how successful these effons had been, Bush said: "It's in J>f?Cess. If they don't · work dlplomatically, they'll have to work militarily. And military option is our last choice. Options are on the table, but I believe we can deal with this diplomatically. I truly do." He spoke as administration officials c o nf i r med that four armed North Korean fighter jets intercepted a U.S. r e conn a isBush sance plane over the Sea of Japan and one used its radar in a manner that indicated it might attack. It was the first such incident since April 1969, and threatened to escalate tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer said he could not say whether the incident had made the president more or less confideht of a peaceful resolution. "The president continues to believe diplomacy can work," he said. 'This kind of reckless behavior by North Korea will only lead to further international isolation of North Korea," Fleischer said, adding 1that · Pyongyang was "pushing the tolerance" of U.S. allies. ;' Bush told the reponers he called them in to "explhln to people why I make the decisions I make." Some of the papers noted that Bush said again that he is aware of large protests around the world against his Jmq policy, but will not let his decision be affected by them. And he discounted any notion that demonstrations equate to rampant anti-Americanism. The Baltimore Sun focused on Bush's remarks on North Korea - in which the president reiterated administration policy that while the military option has not been taken off the table, it would be a last resort. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said Thesday . he thinks the administration should hold direct talks ·with the North Korean leadership. "I • · th • t s amazmg at we re about to go to war with a country that doesn't have nuclear banner to remind them of the purpose of their mission, said Capt. John W. Snedeker Jr., commanding officer of the lwo Jima. "You can actually feel the · energy coming out of the Iwo Jima today," Snedeker said. Navy officials, who declined to say where the ships were going, said they left three days early on a regularly scheduled deployment. Snedeker said he told his crew to be prepared to be gone for a long time, suggesting they are likely headed to the Middle East.

"It certainly would be wonderful if none of them had to go," he said. "But it's something he has to do and I'm proud of him. He's carrying on the Navy tradition and keeping us all free." Since late August, 38 Navy ships carrying 29,000 sailors have deployed from Norfolk, and most are in the Middle East and Mediterranean reg1on.

Of the war against terrorism, Bush said the captUre of a !OJ? al-Qaida operative in Pakistan shows that America's strategy is succeeding, and he promised to pursue the al-Qaida terrorist network until it's dismantled. The president's session was closed to other media, but some details surfaced Monday night on the Web sites of some publications. "I told the American people that this is a different kind of war against al-Qaida and that we'll have to hunt thorn down one at a time," Bush said, according to the Sun, one of the papers that attended.

It would also be true that the switch improved Davis' accuracy. Davis scored 24 points coming off the bench for just the second time · this season, and the Cleveland Cavaliers stayed competitive the entire way in an 89-80 loss to the New York Knicks on Thesday night. "I don't like it, but whatever the team wants to do, that's what happens," Davis said. "I'm just playing a team role. Whatever the team wants, that's what I have to sacrifice."

Danny Graves, seeking a spot in the Reds' starting rotation after four years as the . team's closer, pitched three strong innings. "The mental adjustment is just as big as building up stamina and endurance," said Graves, who allowed one run and seven hits. "I made 60 pitches. It didn't feel like that many at all.

"All this stuff happening off the court is not bothering us on the court." The NCAA is investigating charges made by former Georgia player Tony Cole, who claims assistant coach Jim Harr:ick Jr. paid some of his bills and committed academic fraud. Harrick Jr. was suspended with pay last week, but watched the game from a tunnel near the Geo~ia bench. His father rece1ved a thunderous ovation when he was introduced before the game.

Florida (24-5, 12-3 Southeastern Conference) had a chance at a final shot, but Matt Walsh slipped trying to penetrate and David Lee couldn't get the ball off before the buzzer.

Harrick had been mostly silent since Cole's allegations were made public last week. But the coach struck back Thesday, lingering on the court after the game to give his side of the story. He denied the allegations, but conceded the school may be guilty of some "minor'' infractions. Harrick also said he is "immensely" confident that he'll come through the investigation without losing his job. But the NCAA and the school are investigating the charges, casting a pall over the Bulldogs with tournament time approaching. "It's not difficult to focus on the games," Hayes insisted. "When we come out to play, we block it out." Indeed, the Bulldogs were able to put aside their troubles for a couple of hours, defeating the Gators in a thrilling game. The lead changed hands three times in the final 39 seconds, · beginning with Williams' 3-pointer that put Georgia ahead 80-79. Matt Bonner drove into the lane to hit a basket that put the Gators back on top, 81-80, with 23 seconds left. Georgia called a timeout and set up a play to isolate Hayes on the left side. He faked Justin Hamilton to the court and knocked down the game-winning shot. "I knew he had backed up a little," Hayes said. "I ~ot a great look at the basket.' Said Donovan, "We had the matchup we were looking for with Justin Hamilton on Jarvis Hayes. Jarvis just made a bigtime shot." After Florida's fmal possession came up short, the Georgia faithful stormed the court to celebrate. They mobbed Harrick when he stopped for an interview, showing their support for the embattled coach. . Hayes scored 21 points and went to 23-22. · Justin Connolly then took charge with a field goal and two straight three pointers, then Curt Crouch charged the crowd with an old-fashioned three point play.

In the third frame, Southern and Miller played near even with SHS taking a 22-20 edge. Neigler, Randolph, Hill, and Connolly paced the attack as SHS lead 61-45. In the finale, Southern outscored Miller 25-14 to claim the 86-59 triumph. · Crouch and Hill paced the attack in the final round.

Associated Press Beaten out by the New York Yankees to sign, Jose Contreras, the Boston Red Sox got their first close-up look at the Cuban pitcher. And the verdict? "I wasn't impressed," Boston's Sb.~a Hillenbrand said after the Yankees' 7-4 win Thesday at Fort Myers, Fla. "Everybody hypes him up to be this big thing. He's average. He threw average today," he said. Hillenbrand, however, added that Contreras wasn't throwing at full speed and should be all right during the season. Contreras struggled in his second straight outing, allowing three rims and four hits in three innings, includin~ a long homer to Marmy R8ffilrez. "I threw more breaking balls becauSe I didn't feel I had a stron$ fastball," he said through an mterpreter. In his first spring training outing, Contreras allowed five runs- including a ~d slam to Adam Dunn - m his first inning of a 9-3 loss to Cincinnati. John Smoltz and Rick Ankiel also had trouble. Smoltz gave up two runs and three hits in one inning as the Montreal Expos defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-4 at Viera, Fla. The Braves' closer entered with a 2-0 lead in the fifth, and gave up Fernando Talis' single, Ron Calloway's double, Henry Mateo's single and Wil Cocdero's RBI grounder. "I thought he threw great," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "I was more than happy with his stuff. He only gave up one hard-hit ball. He had bite on his slider, and when he throws that well, nobody can hit him." The following inning, Calloway hit a three-run homer off Darren Holmes. At Jupiter, Fla., Ankiel gave up three runs and five hits in one inning as the St. Louis Cardinals lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5. Ankiel entered in the seventh with the score tied at 2. The Cardinals' reliever took the Joss in his second outing of the spring, giving up four straight two-out hits. Ankiel, who missed all of last season with an elbow Hudson homered, doubled injury and has been plagued and singled, driving in three by wildness, faced seven bat- runs. Playing second base, ters. He walked none and Hudson made a diving catch struck out one. that ended the third inning "Physically, I feel fine. with a runner on third.

(AP) - Connecticut's freshmen and sophomores came into this season for the mop·up after last year's five AllAmericans routed teams en route to the program's third national championship and a 39-0 season. A whole new cast, including four unproven freshmen, surrounded the lone returning starter, junior Diana Taurasi. But they picked up where the champs left off, defying the expectations of many, including their own coach. The top-ranked Huskies cruised past West Virginia, 78-58, Tuesday night, com· pleting back-to-back unbeaten seasons and extending the nation's longest win streak to 68, beating Tennessee and Duke along the way. "We worked hard throughout the season," Taurasi said. "I think every month we got a little bit better on everything ·we wanted to improve on. It's definitely a good springboard for the Big East tournament and hopefully deep into March." The Huskies (29-0, 16-0 Big East) wrapped up their lOth straight Big East regularseason conference championship Saturday with a 70-52 win over Providence. They were presented with the trophy after Tuesday's game to a standing ovation from the 16,000 at the Hartford Civic Center. "They were able to answer a lot of questions that people posea to them early on, mcluding me," coach Geno Auriemma said. 'To win them al), I think it's been pretty re~arkable for this group." .'The Huskies are 20 wins away from tying the men's NCAA record of 88 straight set by UCLA from 1971-74. UConn is the second Division I women's team tO string together consecutive undefeated regular seasons .. Vermont did it from 1991-93 with records of 29-0 and 28:0. " I feel like we really earned this instead of being in the. shadows of everybody else;~' said Jassica Moore. who le.cl UConn with a career-high 24 points. "This is really ours and we put so much time and effort into it." · ' Moore was out to make up for her lackluster appearance in Saturday's win at Providence, in which sh,e played just 16 minutes. . , "That was my goal, to COI)l(; in here and play like I wa& mad at the world," Moore said. .· Taurasi finished with 20 points for UConn. She an.d Ashley Battle each had eigl}t rebounds. . Kate Bulger led the Mountaineers (15-12, 4-f~Y with 25 points and Michelle. Carter added 12. Teanuna\e Eartha White had a team-hi!lh 10 rebounds. .. The Huskies wasted litlle time securing win No. 6g: over the Big East team with the . longest losing drougl}t agamst them. Tl:w Mountaineers have not beaten UConn in 20 years. ··· Talirasi's layup with 16:2.[ left in the first half kicked off a 22-0 run, and th,e Mountaineers never recov-. ered.

In a February letter to . the RGCC board, the Meigs County Improvement Committee offered to build a new facility, to Rio Grande's specifications, if .the university will agree to maintain and expand its course offerings in Middleport. According to Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe, the university would then lease the new building at cost from the ere. "Our goal is to ensure higber educational opportunities for the people of our county, either thmugb Rio Grande or another institution," Varnadoe said. '1bat's the future of the local economy - a weD-trained, educated workforce." Varnadoe said other local institutions, includin~ flocking CoUege in NelsonvtUe, have also been contacted, in the event Rio Grande does not accept the CIC's offer. Late last year, the coUege's board finally rejected an offer for the use of the Meigs Middle School building once it is vacated, citing the cost of needed renovations of $1 million or more. Varnadoe said no specific location :has been named as a proposed site for the branch expansion, but said relocation within Middleport is a condition of the CIC's offer. Meanwhile, Rio Grande's Meigs Center this week completed a series of public meetings about possible course offering expanstons at the Middleport branch campus. Early childhood education, allied health professions, · business information technology courses and a master's degree program for educators are all proposed course expansions being planned at the branch if there is adequate public support. The branch was opened on Mill Street in 1999 in space leased from the CIC. Dr. Gre~ Sojka, provost and vice prestdent for academic affairs, said last month the wriversity remains interested in expansion in Middleport, especially in view of plans to expand course offerings. POMEROY PASSPORT, a long-term in-home care program for frail elder! y adults, was among several programs to have its funding reduced by the state in cuts announced Wednesday by the governor's office. Meigs County currently has 78 elderly residents receiving PASSPORT. Those who are ·already enrolled will continue to receive their current level of services, according to a release, but the number of senior citizens e!lfOlled from meant that they had no choice but to enter nursing homes. Over the past several months because of earlier reductions, the Area Agency has been forced to reduce the number of enrollees from 30 each month to an average of 15. This means with this latest cutback in funding will result in even longer waits, said Palmer. While PASSPORT is a limited program, only applyi!lg to senior citizens on Medicaid, it. has helped keep many in their own homes rather than having to go into a nursing home and. at a much lesser cost, said Susan Oliver, executive director of the Meigs County Council on Aging. She said each one enrolled in PASSPORT could receive services costing up to $11 ,500 a year. "This is one of the most cost effective services because it allows people to continue living in their own homes rather than go into nursing homes where the cost is thousands of dollars more," Oliver said. Oliver said that the cut in PASSPORT is just one of several over the past year which has affected a variety of services to local senior citizens. Math adds up for Southern students J: BY MILES LAYToN Staff writer RACINE - There is a si~­ nificant achievement gap m mathematics performance between students living in poor communities and those living in affluent ones.

BY CHARLENE HDEFLICH News editor POMEROY - Several ser· · vices discontinued last year by the Meigs County Health Department due to lack of funding are being reinstated since the passage of the renewal levy last fall. Among those are the Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP) services for women of Meigs County who are age and income eligible, and uninsured or under insured. It was announced today that Courtney Sim, ass1stant administrator, will resume coordination of the BCCP case management in the county. Sim had handled the program and coordinated the mobile mammography clinics in the past. · The program includes gynecological services for women aged 40 and older and mammography services for those over 50. Contacts are to be made with Sim at 9926626 Monday througb Friday to determine eligibility and to schedule an appointment. Sim also announced that the health department will again sponsor mobile mammography clinics through the Ohio State University JarnesCare. The unit is scheduled to visit Meigs County in May, June, and September to provide screening mammograms not only for those who are income/age eligible (35 years or older) but also for women who have Medicare, Medicaid, or private healthcare insurance coverage. Interested residents should contact Sim at the health department to make an appointment.

American 12th graders rank 19th out of 21 industrialized countries in mathematics achievement. More than 20 million have reached their senior year unable to do basic math. . According to U.S. manufac· turers, 40 percent of all 17year-olds do not have the math skills to hold down a production job at a manufacturing company. Southern Local Schools have one teacher determined to reverse these trends. Carla Shuler has been teaching mathematics for 32 years. She teaches several math class· es each day, but there is·one in particular which is on the cutting edge of reform. Fur two hours each day, seniors take advanced math courses to provide them with college credit. These courses a' e not for the weak or the lazy. "Anyone can learn mathematics," she said. "If you can't do it, you don't want it bad enough. These kids want it bad enougb." Shuler's philosophy is that smdents should be challenged. To illustrate this example, she puts on her desk a rubber band which represents a student's mind. She said a teacher can put knowledge into this rubber band without stretching it. The student retains little if nothing of these lessons beyond the test or in life. Shuler said a good teacher stretches the boundaries of that rubber band to see how far it betweeh' Southern High School senior Amy Lee discusses with her teacher, Carla Shuler, the steps involved in finding the answer to a mathematics problem she wrote on the blackboard. The lessons that Lee learns today can translate into college credit tomorrow. (J. Miles layton) can go. Only by learning the limits of human endeavor do students learn and people move forward. Shuler's advanced math class is sinau with onlylO students, which is broken down into three young men and seven young women. This represents at least 25 percent of the graduating class of Southern High School. Shuler said class size is important, but should not be the prime consideration for higher than avernge test scores or academic achievement unless the number of students in a classroom is too large to manage. The atmosphere in the classroom is relaxed. Students work in groups to solve problems. Chocolate candy is available. "I think the best learning happens when you can concentrale on your work in a relaxed environment," Shuler said. Students are not allowed to bury themselves in a book and hide from the teacher's gaze. Instead after working complex problems out, the students go up to the front of the · class and start putting their work on the black boards. For anyone who has ever had to do Latin declensions or complex mathematical fonnu· las, this can be a formidable feat as students and teachers have their eyes fixed UJX>n the problem and hopefully the correct solution. Mariam El-Dabaja, senior, plans to attend Ohio University and study engineering next year. "I enjoy math," she said. "It is one of my favorite subjects. I like it because it is so logical." El-Dabaja was one of three students who passed the calculus portion of the Early Math Placement Test sponsored by Ohio State University. The test seeks out students who demonstrnte a high aptitude in mathematics, thus providing a gold star to an.Y college admissions commtttee for matriculation. · The complex formulas that Shuler's class translate have a practical basis in reality. For mstance, the class had to analyze the poUution levels in a lake using graphs and mathematical concepts. Shuler said there are people who do not understand how useful and important math can be. Unfortunately, these people take the attitude that they will never need algebra or geometry after graduation. Shuler said math is everywhere and that knowing how to use it is power. Her class studies the math behind economics. Graphs and algebraic slope fonnulas are not just simple tricks to take up class time, but are used in business fmance every day. Through her coursework, Shufer demonstrates the importance of math to the business world. Amy Lee, senior, plans to attend Ohio State University next year. "I feel confident that any math class in college can not be tougher than this," she said. Lee said Shuler has pre· pared her weU to take on the challenge of OSU. "The math program at Southern is one of the best in the country," she said. "Mrs. Shuler cares about how you do in the real world. She fmds situations you would have to face outside the classroom."
