Moore said, and a nonprofit therapeutic program is at the top of Moore's todo list once he graduates. "It's important that these programs be offered on a non-profit basi s, at low cost," Moore said, "because many of those who would benefit from such a program can't afford riding classes." A former "troubled teen" himself, Moore grew up with hi s family ' s horses. "My family has always owned horses, and I rode horse s when I was younger, but I' ve only just recently grown interested in horses to the point that I want to make a career around them," Moore said. "Now I know that 's what I want to make my career." For now, though, Moore concentrates as much on competing on horseback as he does preparing for an intere stin g career. His competitions. so far, have earned ribbon s in the equi· tation and western riding disciplines, but he soon plan s to enter English dressage and jumping competitions.

Bob Taft di stributed a list of potential cuts to schools six weeks ago. he had more in mind than a polite early warning. "We were attempting to influence the Legislature ," said Brian Hicks , Taft ' s chief of staff. Taft detailed the cuts , totaling $133 million, in the list passed out during a Jan. 27 news conference. He called on fellow Republicans to approve his plan to balance the state budget. Last week, Taft distributed a new list , which showed the actual, final cuts at $83 million, a 37 percent drop from the first figure . In the interim, the governor used the initial list to lobby lawmakers to raise taxes - either on cigarettes or alcohol or a temporary sales tax increase - to close a $720 million deficit, or about 1.6 percent of the state's $44 billion budget. Lawmakers refused, and Taft cut school spending, though not before making other reductions to soften the blow. Hicks said that in Whatever your direction DanTax is the path.

The implication that everyone of Lebanese descent would support terrorism is the worst form of ethnic profiling, Silfani said. "They're lumping all these people in the Middle East to be under one group," he said. "For them to make the claim that Catholics are funding a terrorist organization is outrageous."

A jury found him guilty of running a tip-ticket operation in clubs and bars that prosecutors said grossed more than $50 million in about two years. When investigators raided several places in November 2000, they confi scated about $4.8 million in cash, including about $3.6 million at the home of James H. Jackson, 64, of Tallmadge, who accepted a plea bargain and testified agamst George . No money was found at George's home or vending machine business. Members of the Saghbeen Society say George was never a member of that group. The group allowed its name to be used for instant bingo sales until it learned of possible illegal activities. "Once our society found out there were issues down in Hamilton County, we got out of it," Silfani said. Prosecutors alleged that George and others stole most of the money raised in the name of charity, but that some of the money that reached the United Saghbeen Society was diverted to terrorist groups once it reached Lebanon.

NATIONAL VIEW Tragic It took a disaster to have fire codes finally enforced • Times Union, Albany, N.Y.. on fire codes: In the space of a few days, more than I00 people have died in two nightclub disasters that could have- and should have - been preve nted The death toll is tragic. It is also a compelling reason for all states and lo<.:alities to review their building and ftre codes and strengthen them accordingly. Last Thursday night, the Station, a club in West Warwick, R.I. , became an inferno in a matte r of a few minutes after the heavy metal band Great White set off pyrotechnics on stage .. The flames quickly ignited overhead acoustic tiles, but many patrons initially failed to recognize the danger, believing the fire was part of the act. But it wasn't. Worse, it turn s out that the club, which was a wooden strucmre, was not required to have sprinklers because the loca l fire code mandated them only fo r clubs with a larger occupancy ca pacity. But the combination of no sprinklers and wooden construction should have been enough for city and fire offi cials to have banned any pyrotechnic displays inside. In stead, the decision to ap prove fireworks appears to have rested with the club owners, who claim the band was never gra nted permi ssion to use them. But the band says otherwise. the death toll in Rhode Island now stands at 97 and will likely go even higher as some of the more seriously burned patrons succumb to their injuries. The number is even more staggering when combined with the Feb. 17 tragedy that claimed the lives of 2 1 patrons after security personnel sprayed pepper spray to stop a fight at the E2 nightclub in Chicago and caused a panicked rush to the exits. Sadly, it has taken so many deaths to finally prompt local and state officials to do what should have been done as a matter of routine - enforce fire , occupancy and operational codes by shutting down clubs that are in violation.

What is this activity'l I will answer that in two shocking words, which you probably never thought you woul d read in a fam ily newspaper: Udder tampering. Yes. There are men in Wisconsin who are deliberately using artificial means to make their cows' udders more attractive. Why ? Because these men are very, very lonely. No, se riously. they are doing it to win livestock shows. These are competitions in which cows are judged on various characteristics, kind of like human Pomeroy/Middleport, Ohio Dave Barry beauty- pageant contestants, except that the cows are more likely to know what "Iraq" is. For livestock judges, the most important part of a cow is the udder, because this is where the cow produces important dairy products such as milk, butter, cheese, yogurt and ranch dressing, via a process called "photosynthesis." As yo u know (like HECK you do), a standard cow has one udder, which is divided into quarters, each of which has a nipple , or "teat." except in Utah. where this is illegal. Livestock judges - who, I'm guessing. are predominantly male - prefer cows with big. round, firm udders . The judges are not interested in cows with droopy udders, even if these cows are smarter and have nicer personalities. On Saturday nights, when the big-udder cows are basking in the glamour of the livestock show. the droopy-udder cows are back in the barn, alone , quietly chewi ng on Danielle Steel novels . Here's where the scandal comes. in : There are people whose job is to prepare cows for li vestock shows. These people are called (I swear) "cow fitters." Most cow fitters are honest. "As honest as a cow fitter" is an expression you hear frequently in the Heartland. Unfortunately, in recent years, a growing number of "bad apple" fitters have bee n artificially enhancin~ udders using various inJections. This ticks off honest dairy farmers, such as (I swear) Elmo Wendorf of Oconomowoc, Wis., who is quoted in the Journal Sentinel as follows: "What they're trying to do is make both rear quarters absolutely equal, both 36 double-D. It's kind of like women having a breast implant. People really hate it when I compare cows to humans, but it's kind of the same." Cheating in li vestock shows is illegal. and puni shable by fines, or even prison. ("What are you in for?'' "Murder. And you?" "Udder tampering." "Y IKES!") But how do yo u catch the cheaters? The tampering is invisi ble to the naked eyeball , and most cows are too loyal, or just plain too scared, to squeal on their fitters. Fortunately, there is hope. thanks to the work of top cow scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. According to the Journal Sentinel, these scienti sts have developed a technique, using ultrasound. to check udders for tampering. There 's a photo in the newspaper showing university veterinarian Robert O'Brien squatti ng under a suspected cow, peering intently at an electronic device while holding some kind of sensor against the cow's udder, looming large overhead. You look at thi s dramatic photo, and you cannot help but envision it as the basis for a major action film - "Udder Patrol," starring Tom Cruise as a maverick investigative veterinarian ; Nicolas Cage as a cow fitter gone bad; and Pamela Lee Anderson as herself. But the udder-tampering crime wave is not Hollywood fiction : It is real. And that is why we all owe a debt of gratitude to the developers of the ultrasound technique, which could offer significant benefits to humanity, beyond livestock shows. As Dr. O' Brien told the Journal Sentinel (I swear): "We think we could clean up the Miss · America contest with the same technology." This is an excellent idea. Imag ine if, duri ng the Eveni ng Gow n Competition, the Miss America contestants had to walk gracefully across the stage to a waiting panel of trained, se nsor-wielding veteri narians. Talk about reality TV 1 I think ratings would go through the roof. I also think "Elmo Wendorf and the Cow Fitters" would be an el\cellent name for a rock band. In conclusion: moo.

Sharp jump seen in drug-resistant pneumonia germs WASHINGTON (AP) The United States is seeing a jump in drug-resistant germs and, researchers warn, strains of a dangerous form of strep that can overcome two common antibiotics are expected to multiply. Overuse of antibiotics may be involved, they said. By the summer of 2004 as manx as 40 percent of the strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae could be resistant to both penicillin and erythromycin. That form of strep causes thousands of cases of meningitis, sinusitis, ~ar infections and pneumoma every year. Researchers based at the Harvard School of Public Health studied reports from sites in eight states, measuring how common the drug resistance was in 1996 and how it increased by 1999. Penicillin resistance rose from 21.7 percent of strep strains in 1996 to 26.6 percent in 1999, and for erythromycin it increased from 10.8 percent to 20.2 percent, the team reports in a paper posted in Monday's onhmi edition of the journal Nature Medicine. The report provides further support for arguments against unnecessary antibiotic use, said Marc Lipsitch, one of the researchers. For years, public health experts have warned that overuse of antibiotics often when they are not needed - is leadmg to more and more drug-resistant bacteria. For example, many people demand antibiotics when they have a cold, even ~ough colds are caused by vuuses, for which antibiotics are ineffective. Last month the Food and Drug Administration announced plans to require a new warning on antibtotics, pointing out that overusing them makes them less effec- tive. Doctors must be sure a patient is suffering a bacterial infection, not a virus with similar symptoms, before prescribing antibiotics, the warnings say. The government estimates that half of the 100 million antibiotic prescriptions written each year are unnecessary. The new research "puts it <;m the doctor 's pI ate," said Dr. Donald Low of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. "Can we change the future? Yes, there are things we can do, but can we do them quickly enough?" Doctors need to make the decision to use antibiotics the right way, in the proper dose, he said, and to encourage vaccination, which reduces illness and thus the need for antibiotics. Vaccines against that form of strep are recommended for infants and older people, the two groups most likely to get the infection. Germs resistant to just one of the antibiotics can still be killed by the other, so the researchers project either a slow growth or a decline for these bacteria. But using a new statistical formula that takes into account how the bacteria are transmitted, the researchers forecast rapid growth for strains of S. pneumoniae that are resistant to both of the antibiotics, reaching 40.6 percent by the summer of 2004. That's up from just 8. 6 percent in 1996. ''That's a bit of a chilling message," said Low, who was not part of the research team. "Within a year and a half, we' II know whether they're right or wrong," he said. If the technique works, it will be a valuable tool in the future, he added. Tour bus collision injures more than 100 people BAKER, Calif.

Iraq ultimatum WASHINGTON (AP)Secretary of State Colin Powell says he is within "str iking dista1rce" of rounding up the U.N. Security Counci l votes needed to pass an ultimatum givin g Saddam Hu ssein until March 17 to prove Iraq has disarmed. He said he would not be surpri sed by a French ve to. Such a step by France, he warned, would "have a serio us effect on bilateral relation s, at least in the short term." Powell said he cou ld not be sure where two other ve to beari ng nations, Ru ss ia and China, stood on a vote that could take place as early as Tuesd ay. In television intervi ews Sunday, Powell and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice said they believed public opin ion had been slow to follow the Bush administration . But they predicted the public and U.S . allies would come to support an Amer ic an-led war with lhw . o ·n "Fox News Sunday," Powell sai d "I think we 're in striking distance of (nine or 10 votes) . We ' ll be in intense negotiations over the next couple of days, a lot of diplomacy will be taking place. " Further complicating matters, Ru ssian Forei~n Minster Igor Ivanov sa td Monday the Kremlin would vote against re solution. It was the first time that Moscow declared outright that it would vote against the document. Ivanov, however, did not indicate whether Russia would exercise its right of veto if the resolution passed. Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico , who was U.S. ambassador to the U.N. durin$ the Clinton administration, said Monday he thought it would be "catastrophic if we ~o in and lose the vote. ' "I think the odds are less than 50/50 that we are going to get the votes this week," he said on NBC 's " Today" program. "I would put it off for a week or two .... Since we're close, I think we should just give them extra days and I think the administration can put th at together," Richardson said. Critici sm rose from se veral quarters , meanwhile. Canadian Prime Mini ster Jean Chretien and Democratic presi dential contend er Howard Dean co ntended that a U.S.-led war would give licen se to other nation s who felt they needed to pre-e mptively attack. " It might be considered as a precedent for others to try to do the same thing ," Chretien sa id on ABC 's "This Wee k." "Where do you stop? You know, if you can do th at th ere, why no t e lsewh ere ?"

"Anti-Americani sm is a threat to us," Levin sa id o n CNN 's "Late Edition ." Former President Carter. last year 's Nobel Peace Prize laureate, added hi s voice to that warning. " It is quite possible that the after math of a military invasion will destabi li ze the reg ion and prompt terrorists to further jeopardize our security at home," he said in a New York Time s opinion art icle Sunday.

Labonte, the 2000 Winston Cup champion, had only one victory last year and finished 16th in the standings, all while teammate Stewart was winning the title. This season, the team ditched Pontiac and went with Chevrolet. McSwain, a burly man who's rarely without a dip of chewing tobacco under his bottom lip, took over for Jimmy Makar, who was promoted to general manager. . The new combination jelled last week at Las Vegas, with Labonte winning the pole and finishinr fourth. He dominated Sunday s race after starting fourth and led nine times for 172 laps. "He is pretty calm and he is pretty conservative and kind of laid back," McSwain said. "I think most of you have seen the commercial with the little devil sitting on somebody's shoulder. Well, that's me in his ear going, 'This is your race if you want it. Don't take nothing off these young kids. "' With 44 laps left, Labonte easily passed Gordon for the lead and was pulling away when Nascar driver Bobby Labonte sprays champagne in victory lane following after winning the NASCAR Bass Pro Shops 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday in Hampton, Ga. (AP) two late cautions bunched the field. Gordon snookered Labonte a bit on the final restart with II to go, pulling his Chevrolet to the outside of Labonte's as the pair raced under the green flag. Gordon, who started 30th, completed the pass in Turn 2, with Labonte right on hi s bumper. "He got by me," Labonte said. "He was always getting me on a restart." They stayed that way for a lap, until Labonte got the momentum needed to attempt an outside pass on the frontstretch. Gordon moved his car up the track to block, and when Labonte didn't back off, the two cars touched briefly. Please IH NASCAR, 11 SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - The dozen candidates for the fiflh spot in the Cincinnati Reds' starting rotation need to do something to mak e themselves stand out. Chris Reitsma may have done that Sunday. Reitsma had his best outing this spring against the heavy-hittillg Philadelphia Phillies, pitching four scoreless innings in the Reds' 3-2 loss . The right-hander allowed one hit, struck out three and walked one. ·He struck out Pat Burrell by throwing three straight change ups. Jim Thome fouled off a pitch on a halfhearted swing and then bounced out to catcher Kelly Stinnett with a S-foot grounder in front of the plate. "I needed that one," said Reitsma. " My body and arm were under control and in sync." Reitsma reduced his earned run average from 5.29 in his rookie season to 3.641ast season but dropped 12 of his 18 decisions. Over the last two years, his record is a frustrating 13-27. Reitsma said h.e doesn't feel pre ·· ~ured. "I can only control what I do," he said. "I can't control (management's) decisions." In part, Reitsma's record has been disappointing because his teammates scored very little in his support. The club was 813 in his 21 starts and scored just 77 runs - 3.7 per game. They scored just 2.33 runs with him in the game . Sunday, Reitsma left on the front end of a 2-0 lead on home runs by Felipe Lopez and Wilton Guerrero. Ricardo Aramboles allowed a solo home run by Pat Burrell and a game-winning double by Marlon Byrd to cost Reitsma the w,i.n. Reds managet Bob Boone was pleased' with Reitsma's performance. "He threw as good as he could throw," said Boone. "He's thrown a lot of good games like that, basically mistake free. When he has a set arm action, he has a tremendous change up." Boone insists there is no race for the fifth starter. Some of the other candidates include Jose Rijo, Seth Etherton, Jose Acevedo and Pete Harnisch. "It is wide open because we've seen a lot of good things," Boone said. "Nobody's backed out of it. There are decisions we'll be making near the end." Don Gullett, the Reds' pitching coach, has seen nothing wrong with the way Reitsma has thrown this spring. "He needs to locate his pitches and keep hitters off balance," Gullett said. "His command was there and his focus was there, all day." Notes: Outfielder Austin Kearns' MRI confirmed bone chips in his left elbow and he was scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery Monday afternoon in Cincinnati. He is expected to miss 7-10 days and should be ready for Opening Day ... Danny Graves will miss his next scheduled spring start Wednesday with inflammation to the patella tendon on his right knee . Seth Etherton will make the start instead. Baseball Pirates finding that fifth pitcher is elusive BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - With ·· more than twice as many players as he needs, Pittsburgh Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon knows he has to start making decisions. The six pitchers vying for the final spot in the rotation aren't making it easy. ''I'm probably at a point where I am getting a bit antsy about getting the roster cut down," said McClendon, who needs to drop 35 players by the end of the month to reach the opening-day limit of 25. "We 've got to get the numbers down. Right about now is the time. Things are 11 little too loose in our camp," McClendon said. Perhaps no nowhere more so than the No. 5 starters' job behind Kris Benson, Kip Wells, Josh Fogg and Jeff Suppan. In the past month, no one has emerged as the Pirates' probable fifth starter among left-hander Denny Reyes and right-handers Rolando Arrojo, Jeff D'Amico, Brian Meadows, Julian Tavarez, Salomon Torres. "We all know what the situation is," Meadows said. "Obviously, everyone wants that job we're all fighting for and there is more of a spotlight on that situation than anything else in camp this spring." McClendon came to spring training with most of the roster . settled and few questions in his bullpen, which was a bright spot last season with the arrivals of Wells ( 12- 14, 3.58 ERA) and Fogg (12-12, 4.35 ERA) and Benson's return from elbow surgery. Over the winter, the Pirates signed free agents Arrojo. Amico, Reyes and Tavarez to minor league contracts and invited them to compete with Meadows and Torres, who finished last season in the rotation. D'Amico or Tavarez may have an edge as veterans who have enjoyed success in the major leagues in the past. But both have struggled on the mound and with injuries. D'Amico is 0-l with a 6.14 ERA in his first three starts and left his March 7 start against Cincinnati with lower back stiffness, which didn't appear to be serious. He 'll likely start Wednesday against Tampa Bay. Tavarez has a 6.75 ERA in his first four innings after sitting out with a strained right calf. Meanwhile, Reyes (7 .71 ERA) and Arrojo (9 .00 ERA) have also done little to stake a claim for the job. Meadows (4.70 ERA) and Torres (4.50 ERA) have fared better, but it's unclear if either will stay in the rotation. · Torres did well in five late-season starts, going 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA after being out of organized baseball for five years. "It's show time," Reyes said. "The competition is what it's all about." McClendon met with General Manager Dave Littlefield and hi s coaching staff Sunday. The Pirates could announce cuts on Monday. "When you're fighting for a job like this, you want ever outing to be perfect," said Meadows. "I think what you're seeing happen is every· body is putting a little too much pressure on himself. You want to make an impression, make sure you stand out in the minds of the people making the decisions.·· �Page 82 • The Daily Sentinel Monday, March 10,2003 www.mydallysentlnel.com Monday, March 10, 2003 Scoreboard College Basketball Men EAST Brown 93, Harvard 80 Buffa lo 70 .

Weaver solidifying fifth spot for Yankees Associated Press Jeff Weaver is solidifying the fifth spot in the New York Yankees' rotation. Weaver pitched four sharp innings Sunday in New York 's 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Sunday in St. Petersburg. Fla. Weaver allowed one run and five hits with three strikeouts to lower his spring ERA to 2.00. Weaver, the opening day starter for Detroit last year, spent much of his time in the bullpen after being traded to New York in July. "Hopefully, I'll make the decision easier for Joe (Torre) and be where I want to be for a long time," Weaver said. "All I can do is keep throwing like I am." Weaver came into spring competing with Cuban defector Jose Contreras and Sterling Hitchcock for the fifth spot. Contreras, who signed a $32 million, four-year contract with New York during the offseason, struggled again. He allowed seven runs and seven hits in three innings. "He has a lot of things going on in his life right now," Torre said. Contreras' 80-year-old father, Florentino, was moved into the intensive care unit of a Cuban hospital Saturday after having a stroke on the left side of his body. "That's not the reason for the results today," Contreras said. "My last few outings you haven't seen the pitcher that I am. I expect to get out of this rut that I'm in. I've never been through something like this in my career and I feel in the near future you will see." Contreras will probably start the season in the bullpen. He has given up 15 runs in eight innings. Elsewhere, Cubs phenom Mark Prior pitched four shutout innings for his first victory of the spring as Chicago beat Oakland 8-6 in a split-squad game. The 22-year-old right-hander yielded five hits and struck out three, while O'l)dand aces Mark Mulder and Tim Hudson allowed four runs apiece. "There was a lot of good pitching out there," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. " I think our guy had the best day, but all three guys pitched like they're ready for the season." Alex Gonzalez had two hits and an RBI for Chicago, while Sammy Sosa went 2for-3 with a double.

However, one problem doesn 't get enough attention : More than 41 mtlhon Americans are without health insurance. This includes more than 8 million children. In March, hundreds of national organizations will work together to spotlight this problem. The uninsured pay a high price for not having health coverage. They often live with prolonged illness and medical ski p lifesav ing screenings. Their children do not get adequate medical care. Please urge your readers to joi n me during "Cover the Un insured Week," March 1016, 2003. During this time, a series of national and local activities to increase discussion of the issue will be featured.

Although skills, talents and education will be part of the equation, an influential pal will op_en the door. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - II would be to your advantage not to lock yourself into a tight schedule today. The more flexible you remain, the more able you'll be to take advantage of something good that's likely lo pop up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - An old friend could unexpectedly pop in on you today, making for a very pleasant day . Although you might have to put aside what you had planned to do, it' ll be worth it. · GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Conditions that may have an effect upon your career or finances m1ght make a sudden shift in direction today.

REED Staff writer POMEROY- Two Meigs County sheriff's deputies and a Pomeroy Police officer remain hospitalized in intensive care after becoming ill at the scege of a drug investigation in Minersville late Sunday. Sheriff Ralph Trussell said Monday a special team from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is in Meigs County in an attempt to determine what caused Deputies Kevin Dugan and BY ANDRE TIRADO 1·1.01 HOW COULD WE ~AVE i..OST THE FIRST GAME Of T~E SEASON 50 CENTS • Vol. 53, No. 142 Adam Smith to become ill after stopping a vehicle they suspected was being used as a methamphetamine laboratory. Smith and Dugan, Pomeroy Patrolman Gene Chaney all remain in intensive care at Pleasant Valley Hospital in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Hospital spokesperson Amy Leach said all three are in stable condition and are expected to be moved from intensive care to private hospital rooms later today. Trussell said the cause of the officers ' illness is a mys- tery. Trussell said Dugan and Smith had been waiting on Ohio 124 a t Minersville for a vehi cle they Truasell suspected was being used for the manufacture and transport of methamphetamine, an addictive stimulant drug made in illegal laboratones. When the car was spotted at the inter- section of East Main Street and Nye Avenue, deputies stopped the car. Trussell said Dugan entered the vehicle to begin a search for drugs and drug manufacturing tool s and immediately became nauseated . Both he and Smith, who suffered similar symptoms, were transported from the scene to the Point Pleasant hospital, and Chaney, who transported one of three subjects arrested, was later hospitalized. Donald T. Francis, 33, of Racine; Terry L. Glispie, 41, of Circleville, and Lois A. Davi s, 44, also of Circleville, were arrested and charged with possession of cocaine, a fifth-degree felony. They were arraigned before Judge Steven L. Story late Monday. All three remain in custody. Trussell declined to comment on the specific nature of the officers illnesses. He did say, however, that authorities, including the BCI hazardous materials team which began its investigation Monday, are puzzled. "We're frankly not sure what caused the officers to get sick," Trussell said. "This team from BCI is certified to inspect meth labs and other hazardous materials situations, so we hope they can determine what happened." Francis' vehicle , a Middleport police cruiser used to transport one of the subjects, and an emergency squad used to transport Dugan and Smith to the hospital have been quarantined, Trussell said, as part of the BCI investigation. Man's mock lures bring , amusement Astrograph Tuesday. March ll , 2003 Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio Staff wr~er HARTFORD With everything happening in the world right now, there has to be a little room for laughter. At least, that's what Hartford 's Jack Propp had in mind when he designed his mock fishing lures that would give fisherman a new reason to lament, "the one that got away." ,.. l'.rop.p:s lure stiinds "Sl!v'etf ft!'~. two inches tall aqd weighs 52 pounds. Not exactly practical, but an interesting hobby and a great conversation piece. "It took me a period of weeks to make it," said Propp. "There had to be a mold made so the lead could be poured. It's stainless steel construction and the blades aluminum, just like a regular fishing lure." Propp dec lares that even with its exaggerated dimensions, the I ure would work if dragged through the water. "It actually would work if you had something to pull it," said Propp. Propp said that the hobby began about 20 years ago when Propp made his first lure as a Christmas present for a friend couldn't find exactly what he wanted. "I think that was the best Christmas present anr, body could have had, ' said Propp. Since that first lure, Propp 's creations have just gotten bigger and better. "My next challenge is to make a larger size lure," said Propp. ''I'm going to make it twice the size of the one I have now." Propp said that one of the things he enjoys most about making the lures is the reactions he often gets when people see them for the first time. .. __ "There was a ~''tih'ilt got lost and found !lis way out to my pond, so he came down and asked me where he was. "When he saw the fishing lure, he asked what it was for and I said, that's just for the blue gills," Propp said. "I got a pretty good reaction out of him." Propp said that the lures mostly stay at his house but sometimes he takes them around to show to friends. "You'd be really surprised at some of the reactions you get from kids," • he said. "It tickles them to death." Propp describes himself as an avid fisherman himself with a pond stocked with blue gill , catfish and bass on his 3.8 acre home. "I don ' t really fish for catfish though," said Propp. "I don 't like to even touch them ."

(J. Miles Layton) U~calt! resta\lrant construction ~gins ' '' I . . !- • Staff report ., .. ' . I' ' .. .~~~: . POMEROY- An upscale restaurant on the Ohio River at Pomeroy that will seat more than 200 people has begun construction. The Wild Horse Cafe will serve premi urn food in a southwestern atm<ipphere. The developers of the project, Dorothy and Horace Karr, said the 6,000 square foot facility will be open for dining in the late summer. The Wild Horse Cafe will feature a I 04-foot riverfront veranda that will seat 50, a lOO~foot boat docking facility with stairs to the main building , and a meeting room that will accommodate 70. The restaurant will have 138 seats in non-smoking and 60 in smoking. There will be windows across the back of the one-story structure so patrons will have a good view of the river. The Wild Horse will employ 54 people. The locatiOn is diagonally across from the Meigs County Chamber of . Commerce office and will provide a spectacular view of the new Pomeroy-Mason bridge . The restaurant is being built on West Main Street on land purchased by the Karrs from John Fultz of Middleport. Buildings on the land which housed several .businesses during the years were torn down several months ago. Horace Karr said the place would be similar to Applebee 's or Ruby Tuesday 's. Karr hopes to create a restaurant where the people of Meigs, Mason and Gallia counties can enjoy fine food without having to drive to Athens or Parkersburg, W.Va. Perry Varnadoe, Meigs economic . development director, said a lot of research went into the decision to build the restaurant. He noted that millions of dollars leave the county when people travel elsewhere to eat. An Ohio State University study showed $1.5 million leaves Meigs County and $3 million leave Mas!Jn County each year. Meigs students to attend into June BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH News editor POMEROY Meigs County students will be attending school into June this year. Because of the February snow and ice storms that caused school closings, the school district's calendar was revised by the board of education Monday night. Superintendent William Buckley reported that school has been dismissed a total of 12 days because of bad weather. The state allows five days, which means the students will have to make up seven days. To get in the required days, the board voted to change the last day of school for all students lo June 3 with the exception of those who attend the Pomeroy Elementary School. Those students were out 13 days will have June 4 as the last day. High school graduation was changed from May 23 to June 6. There was so me discussion on the possibility of the State Legislature recommending additional calamity days. Such legislation would need to have Gov. Taft's approval and be accepted by the State Board of Education. "I don't look for the state to act favorably on the legislation," said Buckley. "I think there 's a ge neral feeling that if you miss the days, you have to make them up." Personnel action Several coaching positions were filled during the meeting.
