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.

'~ .?" c....---~· ··-'""' . ,.' m and. 200)' rural poverty levels generally remained unchanged, while urban poverty actually decreased. 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."

Man faces charges in third shaken baby case ELYRIA (AP) - A man previously served prison lln:te for shaking two of his chtldren faces charges in a third shaken baby case. · David Bodecker, of North Ridgeville, was indicted on one count of felonious assault and two counts of child endangering. He is accused of injur· ing one of his twin 6-month· old daughters in early February. The child was treated at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital for internal bleeding on both sides of her brain and broken blood vessels in her eyes. "I think this man is a monster," said North Ridgeville police.detective Greg Petek. Bodecker was to be ~ho arraiJ~ned Wednesday in Lorwn County Common Pleas Court. He is being held on $100,000 bond. Children Services took custody of Bodecker's twin daughters and both girls are in a foster horne, agency spokeswoman Patti-Jo Burtnett said. Bodecker served an 11month prison term after being convicted of felonious assault and child endangering for shaking his son in 1990 in Lakewood. The boy was left in a vegetative state and died in 1999 of complications related to his injuries, Petek said. Authorities in Cuyahoga County are now investigating whether to bring murder charges against Bodecker in !hill case. CLEVELAND (AP) Small groups of protesters waved anti-war banners on campuses and city streets around Ohio on Wednesday as they voiced their opposition to a possible U.S. war with Iraq. In Cleveland, protesters gathered in small clusters at major intersections during the rainy morning rush hour waving antiwar banners at passing cars. About a dozen students stood at a street comer on the urban campus of Case Western Reserve University waving signs reading "No More War" have a weapon in a vehicle as long as it is in plain view and unloaded. Under the bill, motorists could carry loaded. concealed guns but would be required to immediately tell an officer under questioning that he or she had a gun. Born said that could be too late for an officer to respond. "Our issue was, is and will be the changing of the improper transportation (of a gun) statute," he said. . Other opponents who testified Wednesday included the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, which long has opposed the idea of allowing people to carry hidden guns. "This is a very dangerous agenda and it is a threat to all of us," coalition director Toby Hoover told the com- , mittee. The new bill retains some of the Senate proposals. It would require · written and physical safety· training courses for people who apply· for permits. However, a· requirement that permit ' applicants be fingerprinted is missing. The bill 's sponsor, Rep. Jim . Republ ican Aslanides of Coshocton, said the committee would amend , the bill to make it illegal for someone to carry a ·loaded weapon in an employer's car without the employer's per· · mission. at anti-war protests .· and appealed for drivers to honk their horns in support. Despite flyers posted on campus calling for a student walkout at noon, rnost .students passing the protesters at that hour paused only to wait for the light to change in the snow and freezing drizzle. At Miami University in lliford, about 125 students and a few faculty members ignored the gray, drizzly weather · to attend an anti-war/peace rally near the student center. The crowd was orderly, with no problems reported. Ross Meyer, a Miami junior from Cincinnati who helped organize the rally, said he was disappointed by the turnout. Meyer, a founder of the Students for Peace and Justice campus organization that sponsored the rally, was one of five speakers who spoke out against war with Iraq. Meyer drew cheers and applause with this remark, apparently intended to show that he is not anti-government: "I am patriotic and loyal to my country. That's why I'm here tod;Iy." One heckler called out inter- · mittently to urge the crowd to · support the government if the ' United States invades Iraq. · 1Wenty to 30 students gath- · ered at a stage and open com- ; mon area on the University of Cincinnati campus as an anti- . war rally began. Rainy weather · played a part in the meager· turnout. A band played, speakers addressed the audience and stu- : dents displayed anti-war ban- . ners that read "Pre-emptive war . is illegal" and "No blood for, war - peace." Taft orders $1 00 million in education cuts COLUMBUS (AP)- Gov. Bob Taft on Wednesday ordered $100 million in cuts to state spending on education to help balance the state budget. The amount includes $91 million from the basic aid that the state guarantees dis· tricts for each stodent. Also to be cut is about $9.3 million in education department administrative spending, including $202,000 from Taft's OhioReads volunteer reading program. Taft said he is cutting administrative spending to reduce the impact on schools as much as possible. He blamed lawmakers for rejecting his proposal to help close a $720 lnillion budget deficit by increasing tues. "I take no pleasure in making these painful budget reductions," he said. "I know full well that connected to each of these programs are real faces, real stories, and real Ohioans whose lives will be adversely affected." A proposal Taft announced siK weeks ago would have cut 2.5 percent in state aid to districts no matter how much money a school received from the state as part of its budget. Under that plan, a district with 80 percent of its budget from state funding would be hun more than a district with 20 percent. The cuts announced Wednesday are based on a dollar figure instead: $51.50 lost in state revenue for every student enrolled. In addition, no district would face a higher cut than one projected in the original, January plan. Taft took this action "so that districts that receive the highest percentage of state support will not be disproportiately impacted," he said. The reductions come with just four months left in the school year, at a time most districts have already determined their spending for the year. Under the earlier plan, the Cleveland schools would have lost $8.5 million; Columbus, $5 million; and Cincinnati, $2.9 million. Under Wednesday 's order, the Cleveland schools would lose $4 million; Columbus, $3.2 million; and Cincinnati, $2.2 million . The superintendent of Northern Local schools in Perry County said he's waiting for details. but said the cuts would have to be made ne"'t year. It could mean bi~­ ger classes or less academic opportunities, said Local • Entertainment The Daily Sentinel Superintendent Jack Porter "When you cut teachers, you're also cutting a program, and that's what hurts;" he said Wednesday. His district would lose ahout $114,000 out of its $13.5 million budget. Taft is announcing the cuts now to thwart restrictions lawmakers placed on his ability to reduce basic education funding. To avoid those . restrictions, he either had to . make the cuts before signing ' the budget bill - as he is doing - or veto the · limitations.

Registration TOLEDO (AP) - It was in the !lowing fields of wheat and flowering gardens that Vincent van Gogh found respite . from the demons that haunted him. The pal!'ttiftgs and drawings inspired by these landscapes shape a new exhibit at The Toledo Museum of Art. "Van Gogh: Fields," featuring 27 landscape paintings and drawings from museums and private collections worldwide, will be on view until May 18. The show traces the roots of van Gogh's early landscape drawings and · meanders through the fields of France, ending with a dark, foreboding painting fini shed just days before he took his own life in 1890. "He found peace in the beauty of the landscape," said Lawrence Nichols, a curator at the Toledo Museum. "Sadly, it was not always with him." It is the first time a van Gogh exhibit has looked solely at the Dutch artist's landscape works, said Nichols, the museum's curator of European painting and sculpture before 1900. The museum decided to focus on landscapes because it had never been done and the museum already owned one of van Gogh's nature paintings, Coolville woman takes awards for February COOLVILLE - Connie Rankin was recognized as both the weekly and monthly best losser for Tops 2113 at Thesday's meeting held at the Torch Baptist Church.

Consumers may doubt the benefits of herbal remedie s, Boyleston said . Re search has yielded mixed results. A study last year at th e University cif Wisconsin found echinacea did not help ease the cold symptom s of a small group of college students. But two large earlier studies in Germany found it safe and · effective. Gangemi said consumers will be wary "unless there are some sort of standards out there that says what you put in the bottle is in the bottle." That's where researchers ·like Dufaull come in. The challenge, he says, is finding varieties that produce a lot of herbal material - in the case of feverfew that means abundant leaves - while at the same time producing a lot of the active ingredient. In one ,plot at the research cen ter in su burban Charleston. researchers are studying the qual'ily of feverfew produced when it is planted in plots of different densities - from 4,200 plants per acre to as many as 43 ,000 per acre. "Usually with herbs, with competition and stress, they get more pungent and maybe with these medicinal herbs the same thing may be t,rue," says Dufault. On the other hand, researchers say, more stress on the -plants could mean fewer leaves and less materia.! to harvest. Dufault expe.:;ts lhe results of the production study by summer.

New chamber officers Powell plots two-day blitz to win backing for using force to disarm Iraq WASHINGTON (AP)- In a two-day diplomatic blitz, Secretary of State Colin Powell will try to overcome U.N . resistance to using force to disarm Iraq - warning that holding back would send a "terrible message" to tyrants everywhere . He also warned again that if the U.N. Security Council does not act, the United States · and its coalition partners are prepared to disarm Iraq by force and take responsibility for Iraq's future after a war. In more intensified activity against Iraq, the United States ordered two U.N.based Iraqi diplomats to leave the country and asked 60 countries to expel alleged Iraqi agents who could attack American interests overseas. The government has identified 300 Iraqis in the 60 countries, said the U.S. officials, asking not to be identified. Some are operating as diplomats out of Iraqi embassies, and foreign governments are expected to comply with the U.S. request, the officials said. President Bush scheduled a prime-time news conference Thursday as part·of his effort to prepare the nation for the prospect of war. Spokesman Ari Fleischer said Bush's opening statement in the East Room would address "the successes in the war against terror as well as the importance of disarming Saddam Hussien." He said Bush has not decided whether to wage war. During his fourth trip to the United Nations .in Jess than two months, Powell is scheduled Friday to make what could be a final speech to the council urging approval of a U.S.-British-Spamsh resolution supportipg the use of force . In advance of the speech, Powell planned meetings beginning late Thursday with the (preign ministers or ambassadors of all the nations on the council. Powell will speak Friday after chief U.N . weapons inspector Hans Bli.x reports to the council on Iraq's cooperation in the search for illegal chemical and biological weapons. Blill: said Wednesday that Iraq is now providing "a great deal more" cooperation and painted a more positive picture of Iraq 's disarmament efforts than he did a week ago. He said he would welcome the continuation of U.N. inspections for several more months and mapped out plans well into the summer. Calling Iraq's disclosures of a handfu l of missiles and other weapons information "too little, too late gestures," Powell said Iraqi President Saddam Hussein still has not made a decision to disarm. For the council to turn down the reso lution and that would be acceptable to depend on further inspections the United States. to disarm Iraq would send a Powell said the inspections "terrible message" to tyrants were futile, and that Iraq's who seek 10 acquire weapons intelligence agency in late of mass destruction, Powell said in a speech Wednesday January had taken chemical at the Center for Strategic and and biological agents "to International Studies in areas far away from Baghdad Washington. near the Syrian and Turkish "Divisions among us - borders in order to conceal and there are divisions among them." us - if these divisions conPresident Bush spoke by tinue , will only convince telephone Wednesday with Saddam Hussein that he is leaders of two countries right," Powell said. whose votes he needs, With a vote ori the resolu- Cameroon and Pakistan. tion expected next week. the foreign ministers of France.

Dole, a former Republican Senate majority leader. said he and the former Democratic president would faxed to his opponent. The response would also be 45 second s. After the initial arguments. the first debate~ would get IS seconds to rebut, followed by a final 15 seconds from the opponent.

Considering the moral case for American-led action, there is no good reason to be concerned about a possible French veto of military action ag;~ inst Iraq . Only five nations - the United States, Great Britain, China, Ru ss ia and France- enjoy such a veto. The French veto in no way. however, represents an accurate assessment of France's power or its moral standing.

PageA7 High school and college students across the country walked out of class Wednesday to protest a war with Iraq, holding a series of rallies organizers predicted would be the biggest campus demonstrations since the Viettiam War. Tens of · thousands of students at more than 300 colleges and universities pledged to join in the anti-war protests, according to the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition. Thousands of students also rallied for peace in Britain, Sweden, Spain, Australia and other countries. The Books Not Bombs protests were also geared to call attention to the effects of a war's costs on education, health care and the economy. At Stanford University, 300 ~pie canied signs· that read 'It's the Middle East, not the Wild West" EU~d "The majority of us didn't vote for this war." . "The average student here is pretty . liberal and against the war, but they're not very vocal," said Kate Skolnick, 20, of Scarsdale, N.Y. "This is mainly about getting people to express their views.' Dozens of Stanford professors endorsed the rally, either by telling students there would be no penalties for leaving class or by canceling class. About 125 students and a few faculty members turned out in gray, drizzly weather for a rally at . Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Ross Meyer, a junior and founder of a student peace group, said he was disap• pointed by the turnout. "I am patriotic and loyal to my country," he told the crowd. Someone called out to urge the crowd II> support the government if the United States invades Iraq. About 500 students walked out of class at the University of Maryland. In Milwaukee, 40 students lined the sidewalk in ftont of the Marquette University·student union during an .hourlong ~rotest. · "It s good t(l let people know students have a say in what happens in the world," said Abir Chaudhry, 19, who carried a sign that read "God Does Not Bless America Only.''

Our Name: http://www.notinourname.net Two Army brothers share-different views on a possible Iraq conflict Associated Press Brothers Travis and Taylor Burnham are both in the Army yet find themselves on opposite sides of a looming conflict with Iraq: one is willing to fight and the other is not. Travis, 24, is stationed at Fort Drum, N.Y., where he applied for conscientious objector status in January. Taylor, 27, is a combat engineer in Kuwait waiting for a potential invasion of Iraq. "I know how a mother might have felt in the Civil War having sons on both sides," said their mother, Judith "J.P.'' Burnham, a social work professor at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tenn. "I'm very divided. I support both of my sons," she said. She keeps a yellow ribbon on her office door for Taylor and a war protest sign on the wall for Travis. 'Travis describes himself as a pacifi~t. In high school, he was kidded about being not aggressive enough for sports. During basic trainin~, he refused to chant "kill' with the other soldiers. . More recently, he marched in antiwar protests and spoke openly about his objections. "I'm opposed to takin~ the life of another human bemg," he said. "I understand there . are situations where we react human instincts and in selfbut to aggressively and collectively destroy another human life, my con• science won't allow me to do it." His mother says older brother Taylor has reservations about the war, too, bui understood when he enlisted that doing his duty might mean using violence. In joining the military, the two men followed the example set by their father, Jeff, and oldest brother, Preston. They enlisted in peacetime to earn money for college, gain discipline and see the world. Travis joined the Army in 1999 after he dropped out of college and ran out of money while traveling in Europe. He sought help from his father- to return home. "I told him I'd send him $300 if he'd join the Coast Guard," recalled the elder Burnham, an engineer and a member of the Coast Guard in the 1960s. "I think it's a good thing for young men or young women to join the military, learn a skill, get some discipline and contribute to the country's safety." But the Coast Guard had a 22-month waiting list and Travis was imp11tient. He signed up for a five-year hitch with the Army and is now assigned to the lOth Mountain Division as a photojournalist. "It was the Clinton administration, the economy was strong and war didn't seem to be on the horizon," Travis said. "Not once did any of the recruiters I spoke with mention war, enemy, shooting or death." His older brother also joined the Army for direction. He attended college but was uninspired and drifting. He decided to enlist in 1998 and after a five-year stint plans to study environmental biology in Maine. 1 Now assigned to ,the 814th Engineer Company at Fort Polk, La., Taylor has been in Kuwait since Valentine's Day. Security concerns have kept him from contacting his family since he left the . United States. The Army is investigating his younger brother's conscientious objector application. The process involves 26 steps and usually takes at least 90 days. Travts has already been interviewed by a chaplain and a psychiatrist. The Army can refuse him, grant him a discharge or move him to a position where he would be unlikely to have to fire on an enemy - like the position he already has. "We can't push him much farther back than being a public affairs guy," said ·Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty of the I Oth Mountain Division. "He's a photojournalist. I don't know of any photojournalist in the history of the U.S. Army who has ever killed anybody.'' · The Army has granted two voluntary discharges to conscientious objectors this fiscal year, according to its records. Last year, it granted 17, and the year before nine. · The highest number in recent years was 59 in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. As he waits for word, Travis worries about his brother. He met with Taylor in December at Fort Polk and told him how he felt about a war with Iraq and what he planned to do. There were no hard feelings. ''There was no, 'How can you do this to me?'" Travis said. "He pretty well understood and he accepted it." i ordered the barriers removed, and they were taken away Tuesday night. "It sends a really bad roessage to people about the accessibility of their government," 0' Brien said. "You drive up to your state Capitol and it looks like it's been encircled by barbed wire or something like that." The national terror level was raised Feb. 7 to orange, · the second high~st level, prompting governments and businesses to impose extra security measures. Georgia public safety officials installed concrete barriers adjacent to the stone walls that already girdle the Capitol on Saturday - two days after the Bush administration lowered the alert status back to yellow. "It was one of those unfortunate bureaucratic mi stakes," O' Brien said. _Victim of a schoolyard brawl dies nine years later; ex-classmate is charged with manslaughter WEST BLOOMFIELD 1DWNSHIP, Mich.

"I haven't been .100 percent for so long, I'm not sure right now what that feels like," Escobar said Wednesday after participating in base-runnin~ drills at the Cleveland Indians training camp. "I can feel improvement every day, but I don't consider myself completely back until I don't wear a brace on my knee." It has been just over a year since Escobar hurt his left knee when he ran into the centerfield wall March 4, 2002, in an exhibition game against the J'>ittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, fla. Before the injury, the 24year-old outfielder was considered one of the brightest prospects in the game. Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said he would not have made the multi-player trade that sent All-Star second baseman Roberto Alomar to the New York Mets without getting Escobar. Shapiro's insistence carne from seeing Escobar bat .310 with 27 homers and 49 stolen bases in Class A ball in 1998, then rise through the Mets system. Escobar hit three homers in 18 games in his first trial in the majors in 200 I. "We regard Alex as a fivetool player, so the injury was a major setback and very frustrating," Shapiro said.

Later, I said, 'Hey, thai happened the same way, I hit the warning track then hit the wall.' "1b make that catch without thinking about it was a big step." On Thesday, he returned to Bradenton against the Pirates on the one-year anniversary of the injury. ''That was just a coincidence and I really didn't think about it because I know my knee is fine," Escobar said. "It is more the mental side that I'm overcoming now. I can't think about how I will catch a ball. It has to happen naturally and I am back doing that every time.'' come off - but not until it is time." Escobar said that he will make that decision.

Hopefully I can throw that brace away later this month. "I still consider myself fast. Maybe with a brand new knee, I' II be even faster." Coach AI Bumbry said he judges Escobar's conditioning on the way the slender outfielder looks after a workout. ''There hasn't been any problem for him in the outfield or on the bases," Bumbry said. "I watch him afterwards. I've seen him with a little more energy, not dragging, after practice." Escobar said he works on conditioning with the under- ·. standing that his talents are still there. ''The other things, hitting, throwing, are natural instincts," he said. ''They will come around the more I just get out and play.

Wells seeking solid year for Pirates BRADENTON, fla. (AP) - Last year, Kip Wells came to camp facing plenty o( questions, mainly whether he was a big-league pitcher. Things have changed. Wells, acquired in a fiveplayer trade after fallinj! out of favor with the Chic11go White Sox, has found himself solidly set in Pittsburgh's starting rotation, likely second behind fellow right-hander Kris Benson. "I think it's a combination of factors that make me feel confident now," Wells said. "It's a maturation process. I've been here for a year. I know the guys on the team and the organization. "I think I learned a lot about pitching at the bigleague level last year. I was more observant of situations than I've been in the past. I have a better idea of what I can do." The White Sox used their first-round pick in the 1998 amateur draft to select Wells from Baylor. They lost patience after he went 20-21 with a 5.14 ERA in 67 games, 47 of them· starts, over parts of three majorleague seasons from 19992001. But he rebounded with a solid first season for the Pirates, tying rookie Josh Fogg for the most wins with 12. His 3.58 ERA was the lowest among the Pirates re§ular rotation last year. 'He was outstanding for us, absOlutely outstanding," Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon said. "I don't' think we could have asked · for anything more." Wells could do even better this season. His fastball reaches 99 mph and compliments an improving arsenal of secondary pitches that include a sinker, curveball, slider and , changeup. .. He also could get better run support with the addi- : tions of · first baseman ' Randall Simon and outfielders Reggie Sanders and Matt Stairs. While Wells admits he: thought about the possibility . of winning 20 games last • season when he got off to his ' big start, he isn't ready to make any brash predictions for 2003.

I took my children to visit their daddy at his office. He is usually happy to see us. We found him eatmg his dinner in the company's break room. · We were enjoying a pleasant conversation when suddenly a female co-worker burst in and began telling a story. Thi·s woman, "Carmen," is very voluptuous and extroverted. My husband started laughing like crazy at Carmen's funny story - which I didn't find amusing at all. But it didn' t bother me until my husband came home from work and we started getting ready for bed. He began repeating this "funny" story he heard at work. When I told him I was there when Carmen told it, he looked surprised and said, "You were?" Abby, I was crushed! I had been in that break room for 15 minutes before Carmen came in, and my husband had forgotten all about our visit. I am trying not to let it bother me, but I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and beginning to believe my husband no longer cares for me. What should I do? FEELING BIG AND BRO· KENHEARTED .

ASK, "WIIA'T'~ 'lOUR SUN POMEROY - Governor Taft's budget axe has fallen, and Meigs County schoof districts .ha.v.e_ been cut deep. Each distrit:t'!s superintendent plans to deal with the cuts in the best way possible, but it will not be easy. Meigs Local school district faces more than $109,000 cut from its budget. The cuts were based on a per-pupil spending formula which is why Meigs Local lost more than double what the Southern Local or Eastern Local did. The more students a district has, the greater the amount .of funding lost while the amount cut per student stays the same. Superintendent Bill Buckley said the cuts are final and tbat the district will have to do what it can to make ends meet. He said there would be no lay"offs or program losses. The district has four months or until June 30 to absorb the state's cuts. The primary budget items that the district spends its money on are salaries, benefits and utilities which are not options that can be easily cut. Buckley said finding other items to cut would be difficult. "We'lljust have to eat these cuts," he said. "We'll make a major effort to live within our budget." The district will have to take another serious look at its budget so that it can try to absorb as much of this blow as pPssible... " · x .. The state requires }llat each school district maintain a rainy-day fund which can only be used for emergency situations such as a school roof collapsing. Buckley said if it is legally possible to dip into the rainy-day fund. which holds more than $100,000, the district would do so. Southern Local school district will have to absorb more than $39,000 in cuts. Superintendent Bob Grueser said the district is already operating under a deficit of approximately $700,0QO. . "We are extremely distressed about these budget cuts," he said. "We are already operating in the red and have had to borrow just to keep up. This will just add more to our deficit." Grneser explained that the district is already operating a very tight ship and that the cuts would be hard to absorb. He said it will cause the district to reevaluate spending plans for next year.

Earlier this week, council passed a resolution to apply for additional money from the Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for completion of the $1.2 million project.
