SleepDeprived in the Midwest"' complained that she and her husband quarreled because he would wake her at 3 or 4 in the morning demanding sex, even though she had to get up for work by 7 a.m. If she refused, he would give her the silent treatment. You ~dvised marriage counselmg . I recently divorced a man who had the same habit. I think you missed something in her letter. She mentioned that her husband is unemployed. My ex was also unemployed for most of our marriage. She's the breadwinner, as was I. I suspect there is a connection between the two. It may be a control issue. I believe mY ex's demands for sex at odd hours had a lot to do with his feeling he needed . to show me that he was in contro I in some area of our lives . .. Sleep-Deprived" needs to get that issue addressed before her marriage is affected any further. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, AND GLAD I'M OUT IN N.Y. DEAR B.T., D.T. AND GLAD: You may be right. However, not everyone viewed the problem as 'you did. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Instead of complaining, that woman should count her blessings. I have learned to accept my husband for the way he is, and not for what I think he should be. I, too, work a traditional schedule. We have an agreement that works for us. There are times when he will lie down with me until I fall asleep -- then he gets up and reads or works on his hobbies until he is ready for bed . I urge 'that wife to find a healthy and comfortable compromise. If she does, her marriage will be better for it. -LARK WITH AN OWL IN CALIFORNIA DEAR LARK: I agree, the ·key is compromise. DEAR ABBY: I'm glad you suggested counseling. I hope it works. My husband and I have been married 10 years. We were both married before to partners who dido 't think sex was important . When one of us is in the mood, the other one doesn't just oblige, but races to the bedroom and lets the romantic one ..get us in the mood." Ironically, I am usually the one who wakes my husband at 3 a.m. A suggestion I might offer to the wife: Why not se4uce HIM earlier in the evening, so that by 3 a.m. he's sound asleep and not waking you? - D.L. IN OREGON DEAR D.L.: I like the way you think. DEAR ABBY: Good God, Maude! She should plan on going to bed an hour early! Fix a gourmet snack to eat in bed . Pour two drinks . Drag him into the bedroom and show him the kind of time the two of them had on their honeymoon. After he drops dead from the shock, she can sleep undisturbed forever after. -BRUCE IN FLORIDA DEAR BRUCE: Thank you for adding the male perspective. DEAR ABBY: Many years ago, my spouse also woke me on a regular basis. I adore him, but I need at least 6 1/2 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Since these occasions revved my metabolic rate, making sleep afterward impossible, I engaged him in recalling ever,Y detail related to Prestdent Nixon -- his dog's name, Watergate, his personal habits, his lovely wife, Pat, their daughters and their weddings, etc. My poor darling was so tired, he slept through the following night. Each time I was awakened, I made sure we talked about Nixon. For some reason. he almost never wakes me now. It's worth a try. - A SISTER IN SEATTLE DEAR SISTER: Water torture would be kinder.

MILES LAYTON Staff writer POMEROY Meigs County Emergency Agency Management Director Bob Byer and Diana Coates, a volunteer with the Homeland Security Agency, discussed the state of readiness in the event ofa disaster at a Meigs County Chamber of Commerce meeting Thesday. Byer said the recent ice and snow storms the county experienced made people more aware of where they stand and what they lack during an emergency. He said the county was on its own for several days because it was difficult for help to arrive because of weather and road conditions. The National Guard, which had helped out with pasi storms, was unavailable because of the state of international affairs the nation is currently experiencing. "We were on our own and did the job," Byer said. Coates said the county received a $9,000 grant to educate people on how to prepare for a major disaster. She said individuals are not prepared in the ev~nt of a dis,. and 4 p.m. Sept. 6 at Bashan, and it will be necessary for Pomeroy's celebration to be planned seas not to have activiti.c5..in town distra.etii)g.fu>m.the . · major event.

Pictures, said Chapt'nan, could be of homesteads, soldiers, activities or family groupings. The Pomeroy Library will have Civil War artifacts on·display, The Fabric Shop will feature a display of antique quilts, a stemwheeler will be at the levee for rides and an eveni)lg dance, and there will be dance demonstrations, music featuring oldtime instruments, and a band concert in the amphitheater. Chapman reported that Mike Gerlach, in conjunction with the art teacher and students at Mei~s High School, will be making a large dimensional map of Meigs County marked with the route which Morgan's Raiders took and showing where the skirmishes which will be recreated Sept. 3-6, took place.

" I don ' t think we are prepared now," she said . "There's still a lot of work to do." . Byer emphasized that emergency planning must be on an individual basis. He said the county and the many law enforcement and emergency agencies could only do so much. True preparation needs to begin at home. · Byer was quick to point out that duct tape is not a solution to any chemical or airborne disaster and can only make things worse. He advised people to make basic prepa- rations, such as ha vi ng a manual can opener and some candles around. Meigs County is not as isolated from possible terrorist attacks as some may think. Byer said the bend in the river at Pomeroy is fourth most traveled section of river in the United States.

The boxes will be painted and then have colorful cutouts of Victorian people which are being created attached to them.

The ·event will include not only a rib cookoff and cruise-in of Goldwing, Harley and Classic Cars, but entertainment, a juried art display, guided bike tours and awards galore.

Howard Lockhart was mowing a field beside Landaker Road about I p .m . Tuesday when he began to smell some- thing burning. He looked down and saw small puffs of smoke corning from underneath the hood of his tmctor. Lockhart had used the family tractor, which belonged to his stepfather Owens Smith, 91, earlier that day to mow an adjacent field. Lockhart said his stepfather bought the tractor new in 1953 and that there had never had any major problems with it before, but today was difterent. Lockhart saw some orange and yellow names from beneath the hood, turned off the engine and jumped from the tractor which wa~ quickly engulfed in flames. He then ran up a steep hill to call for help. The Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department received the call at I:30 p.m. and quickly responded. A pumper truck with five men, including Fire Chief Rick Blaettnar, began a rough journey to the fire by turning off U.S. Route 33 and heading down Kingsbury Road.

The plant along western Lake Erie has been shut down since February 2002, when it was closed for maintenance. A month later a leak was discovered that had allowed boric acid to eat nearly through the 6-inchthick steel cap covering the plant's reactor vessel. It was the most extensive corrosion ever at a U.S. nuclear reactor and led to a Democrat, 67 percent to 24 percent. · Springer, whose nationally syndicated show is known for its racy subjects and raunchy language, has said he might run next year against Voinovich, who is expected to seek a second six-year term. He has been a featured speaker at recent Democratic fund-raisers . Springer and Fingerhut were scheduled to speak at a fund-raiser Tuesday night for the Montgomery County Democratic Party. In direct competition, Voinovich was favored by 62 percent of the Democrats in the poll, compared with 29 percent for Springer. Fingerhut led Voinovich S I percent to 34 percent among Democrats. Springer did not return a phone call seeking comment on the poll. Voinovich declined to comment. Fingerhut, a state senator since 1998 and a congressman from 1993-95, said .his showing was about what he would expect, since he just last month announced his candidacy and has never run statewide before. He said Springer's career has been inconsistent with the ideals of the Democratic Party. "I've made my view clear about his candidacy and this just shows me the voters agree with my view," Fingerhut said. Even though the general election is about a year and a half away, interest in possible matchups made it an ideal time to poll, Rademacher said. ----------REE HEARING TESTS the company is buying replacement electricity for its customers. The company has said it won't pass on that cost to customers. Inspections to make sure that Davis-Besse's management and staff have improved their safety awareness will continue through May, according to the NRC. And an inspection for leaks at the bottom of the reactor will not be done until mid- to late M11rch. Woman sentenced in Girl Scouts theft Springer registers poll's highest unfavorable rating COLUMBUS (AP) Years of hosting a trashtalk television show apparently has hurt Jerry Springer's image among Ohioans. · Springer, who has said he might run for the U.S . Senate, scored the Ohio Poll's highest unfavorable rating in 14 years, the poll director said Monday. Springer, a Democrat and former Cincinnati mayor, was found unfavorable by 71 percent of those surveyed. Thirteen percent had a favorable opinion while 14 percent knew lit· tie about Springer and 2 percent had not heard of him, the poll found. Springer's unfavorable rating surpassed the 65 percent logged in 2000 by financier Donald Trump, who briefly considered a presidential run that year, poll director Eric Rademacher said. The Ohio Poll began tracking such numbers in 1989. The poll of 638 registered voters was conducted by telephone by the University of Cincmnati 's Institute for Pohcy Research. Interviews were not conducted on two days of the Feb. 7 through Feb. 23 polling period because of bad weather. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points. That margin was higher for subgroups, such as Democrats or Republicans only. The Ohio Poll also found that Republican U.S. Sen. George Voinovich was in possible · favored matchups over Springer 77 percent to 16 percent, and over state Sen . Eric Fingerhut, a Cleveland nationwide review of all 69 similar plants. The NRC has said the damage ranked at the agency's most serious level for safety problems. FirstEnergy is pushing to open the plant before the hot summer months when energy usage is at its peak. Keeping the , plant closed longer could cost the Akronbased com11any $10 million to $12 milhon a month. The damaged plant cost FirstEnergy $235 million last year. Until it restarts, ELYRIA (AP) -A woman received two years in prison for taking more than $140,000 from the Girl Scouts. Antonette Jackson, who managed a Lorain supply shop for the Girl Scouts of Erie Shores. used most of the money to gamble. Jackson, 43, of Oberlin, previously pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated theft and was sentenced Monday. When questioned by police, Jackson admitted that she cashed checks meant for the store's vendors from 1997 to 200 I and kept the money. With some of the cash, she paid bills. The rest went to her daily gambling habits. Jackson's lawyer, Daniel Wightman, said his client was addicted to scratch-off lottery tickets and charity gambling events like "Monte Carlo" nights. Before she was arrested for stealing from the Scouts. Jackson had "not even a speeding ticket," Wightman said. Wightman said Jackson may ask Lorain County Common Pleas Judge Edward Zaleski to Jet her out of prison in six months. Then she would work to pay off fines and any money the Girl Scouts did not recoup from insurance. A spokeswoman for Erie Shores Girl Scouts declined to say whether they had been able to recover the funds. $4 million bond in murder case HAMILTON (AP) - Bond has been set at $4 million for a man charged with killin$ an 85year-old man authorities say was tortured with scissors and knives.

TIME OUT FOR TIPS Things to consider when buying a sweater There are several factors to consider when buying a sweater: who will wear it, the season, and the cost of purchase and care. Think about each one before deciding whic h sweater will be appropriate for your needs. Sweaters can be made from. different fibers • acrylic, wool, silk. cotton, ramie, or combinations of them. Sweaters made of acrylic tend to be inexpensive, lightweight, soft, washable and quickly dried. Acrylic is most often used for baby sweaters. The elderly like them because they are so light· weight. However, acrylic will "pill" or get little fuzz balls wherever abrasion occurs . Wool sweaters offer high quality and are considered the standard for sweaters. They can be luxurious, such as with an~ora or cashmere, lightweight or expensive. bulky, and Some people can't wear wool next to their sensitive skin. Most people think of dry- Becky Baer COLUMNIST cleaning wools, but they usually can be handwashed with extreme care. Avoid heat, agitation and pressure that can cause permanent felting and shrinkage. Store properly . to prevent moth damage. Silk sweaters, which are growing in popularity. serve as good summer cover-ups. They are very lightwe1ght and expensive. They should be handwashed or dry-cleaned. Avoid buying silk sweaters that have a distinctive smell. Seracin, produced as the silk worm spins the silk, may not have been properly removed .. Once it 1s tn your sweater. 11 cannot be eliminated. The odor worsens when the sweater is wet or when the weather is humid. Cotton and raime, or their blends, make very bulky and heavy sweaters. They would not be good ch'oices for small-framed people. Detailed designs are often knitted into them. They usually can be handwashed or · dry-cleaned. If there aren't a lot of decorative trims, they can be carefully laundered in the washing machine, but colors may eventually fade . Cotton/raime sweaters take several days to air dry: If there are no trims. the sweaters may be put in the dryer for a short time, either at the beginning or end of the drying time. Make sure as much moisture as possible is removed before drying to prevent dark colors from bleeding on to the light hues.

'f:' • COUPON I Thirty years ago this month, a federal bureau was established to oversee thp setup of a new program created by Congress one year earlier. The program was called Supplemental Security Income . Although the bureau did its job and made sure that the first SSI payments were made on time in January 1974, three decades later the SSI program is still a mystery to many people. I want to clear up some of the confusion surrounding the program. · One of the biggest misunderstandings is that SSI is a Social Security benefit. It's not. I'm sure part of that confusion stems from the name . Supplemental Security Income sounds like some kind of supplemental Social Security benefit. In fact, many people mistakenly refer to it as "supplemental Social Security income." And the confusion is augmented by the fact that the Social Security Administration manages this program for the federal government. So what is SSI? It's a federal program that pays benefits to people with low incomes who are 65 or older, blind or disabled. In effect, Supplemental Security Income does just what the name implies: SSI supplements people 's incomes up to certain limits. Those limits vary from state to state and also depend on the person's living situation and marital status. For example, someone who owns or rents a house or apartment will generally get more money than someone who is living rent-free in another person 's home. Also the rate paid to a married couple ts less than the rates paid to two single individuals. We mu st consi.der all of the other income you have when we decide how much your SSI payment should be. But there are a number of rules we can use that can help you get a higher SSI payment. One rule says we don't count the first $20 of any non -work monthly income you get. For example, if you get a $540 Social Security check, we count only $520 of that when we figure your SSI benefit. Another rule says that if you're working , we don't count the first $65 you earn each month, and then we count only one-half of your monthly income over the $65 leveL There are many other "income exclusions" that can result in higher SSl payments. Contact us to learn if any of them applies to you. Because SSI is a program based on need, we also must consider your resources when we decide if you are eligible for benefits. Resources are things you own and also include any money r,ou have. You are not eligtble for SSI if you are single and have more (USPs 213-9&0) Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Den Dickerson Publisher Bette Pearce Charlene Hoeflich Managing Editor Editor NATIONAL VIEW Too high :But the fault for gas prices may rest with ourselves • The Morning Call, Allentown, Pa., on increased gas prices: The U.S. Department of Energy reported last week that average per-gallon gasoline prices went up 8 cents in one week. In fact, since the end of 2002, the pnce of a gallon has gone up 29 cents, on average. By the end of last week, the American Automobile Assoc iation reported , the average national price was $1.66, a nickel below the record average of $1.71, which was reached in May 200 I. With the military buildup and bellicose diplomacy dominating the news, common wisdom looks at the gasoline prices and makes a connection. The oil supply from Iraq and the rest of the Middle East has not yet been disrupted by fighting , so the conclusion that most people jump to is that oil companies and even local retailers are using Iraq news to gouge customers. A cold winter in the United States has increased consumption . Paradoxically, gas stations report that nervous dnvers are topptng off their tanks more often, so while prices have increased, consumption remains strong. Another issue is that Americans are buying bigger, lessefficient vehicles that contribute to rising consumption over time . · The variety of factors has reduced crude oil supplies, and refineries respond by reducing production . That constricts the supply to customers. As long as consumption remains strong, ordinary market forces push prices up. Even if an "evil one" can't be identified in this situation, conservation is the most reliable way to respond ..

Thought for Today: "If ro we r corrupts, being out of power corrurt' ahso lutely." - Douglass Cater, American au thor anu educa tor. I a:f~eit.J ~3 1 ~f.tlN. ~S·~ Estrada nomination is no small skirmish The battle . now being waged by the Senate Democrats against President Bush 's nomination of Miguel Estrada to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is no routine skirmish. It is the first gun to be fired on a brand-new battlefront between the parties. Time was - and not so long ago, either - when judicial nominees were treated with careful courtesy by the Senate, which under the Constitution must "consent" to their appointment. Their character was fair game, but their opinions on legal questions that might come before them on the bench was forbidden territory. To ask a judicial nominee, however indirectly, how he would vote on some vexed legal question if it came up in his court was an act of monumentally poor taste . The nominee would decline to answer the question - most often simply by replying that it would be improper for him to venture an opinion - and that would be that. We might as well make up our minds that those days are gone for good. The federal courts, especially the higher courts, and above all the Supreme Court, have asserted their authority over so many hot-button issues in American society that the political biases of federal William Rusher judges, who are appointed for life, are simi?IY too important to contmue to ignore . If the courts are going to muddy their shoes with the grunt-work of daily politics, they are going to have to go through the messy processes of democratic push-and-shove,. just like its other practitioners. This development has been under way for some time. The Democrats have led the way, though, in fairness, that is largely because the presi dents picking the judicial nominees have mostly been Republicans. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) will probably go down in history as having started it all, thanks to the merciless and utterly false , but highly successful, series of slanders he rained down on Jud~e Robert Bork when that distinguished jurist was nominated for the Supreme Court. (That unforgettable hurricane of smears gave rise to the verb "to bork," which is likely to get a lot of exercise in the years ahead.) Estrada is simply the nominee unlucky enough to be before the Senate when Senator Charles Schumer (D-N .Y.) and others decided to open the new battlefront. (They also fear that he may be President Dush's choice as the first Hispanic member of the Supreme Court, if they confirm him for the Court of Appeals.) Not having served on a court, he doesn 't have a long "paper record" of opinions that might reveal his predilections, and he has steadfastly (and rightly, according to all precedent) refused to say how he might rule, if confirmed, on future "emanations" from "penumbras" of the Constitution that liberal justices have found and cited as their authority for innovative liberal deciSions. Even the solicitor generals under whom he worked in the Clinton administration have testified to his impressive legal skills, and have rejected all accusations of conservative bias. Yet the Democrats in the Senate, while insisting they would not object to a "mainstream nominee, conservative" protest that they cannot be sure that Estrada is not "way out beyond the mainstream," however they might define that term. Recently, for the first time in judicial history, they decided to make the confirmation of Miguel Estrada the subject of a filibuster, which under the Senate rules can be ended only by a vote of 60 members. In short, they will resist with all their might a simple majority vote on his confir- · mation , becau se they know they would lose it. The Republicans have responded by citing past precedent, and by charging that the Democrats are resist ing the appointment of a Hispanic to the D.C. Court of Appeals. (They are, but not be~ause he, i& jfispall\C, He IS JUSt not their ktnd of' Hispanic.) Such responses woefully underestimate the true significance of the battle. The GOP had better win this one, or they wi II never be able to name a conservative to an important federal court until they command 60 votes in the U.S. Senate. The solution is simple: Force the Democrats to filibuster publicly - in nighttime sessions and sessions without holidays, holding up all other important Senate business until the American people are sick and tired of the spectacle. Senate Majority leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn .), it's up to ' you. (William Rusher is a Distinguished Fellow of the Claremont Institute fBr the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy.)

Repre sentatives of my daughter Jessica-Ashleigh will be in the office today selling Girl Scout cookies. Of course , no one should feel any pressure to buy from her just because she 's the boss's daughter. I know there's a rumor going around that Roberts was fired last year for not placing an order, but it's not true. He· was fired for wearing a suit on casual Friday. When one of JessicaAshleigh's designated representatives knocks on your cubicle, just pretend it' s one of the kids in your neighborhood. After you fill out the order form, Jeanine from my office will co llect them , because Jessica-Ashleigh has ADD and we don' t want a repeat of last year's problems. I didn ' t find out until months later that none of yo u had gotten your cookies. Someone should have told me . It wa sn' t until Roberts mentioned it tha t I became aware of the problem and by then it was too late to do anything about it. I asked Jessica-Ashleigh what happened and she said, "Whatever. It 's just some Jim Mullen cookies, what's the big deal ?" And then she stomped out of the room. And that 's why selling Girl Scout cookies is such a wonderful thing. It 's teaching yo ung women li ke Jess ica- Ashleigh li fe le ssons: how to pre sent herself, how to get along with people. how to get along in the real world, the value of hard work qnd how to be an entrepreneur. All th e things Jessica-Ashleig h knows nothing about and really needs to learn . I'm hoping she wi ll learn these things when she comes back from Paris and gets a bri efing from our department heads on the cookie 'a les . JessicaAshleigh had to go to Paris for a seco nd fitting of her Brown ie uniform and to pick up some of that perfume she likes, so she won't actually be seeing any of you in person, but she ' ll know how much you care by how many boxes of cookies you buy. For convenience sake, Jessica-A shleigh is not taking any orders of less than six boxes apiece this year, so let' s keep 11 simple, people . Some of you should just order six boxes of Thin Mints, others six boxes of Shortbread and others six boxes of Lemo n Pastry Cremes, and then you can trade amongst yourse lves when they arrive. Of course yo u can order more than six boxes, but who' s co un ting? Shortl y before that ugly casual Friday incident , Roberts said the strangest thing to me . "Wouldn ' t it be easier if the Girl Scouts just asked me for ten bucks outri ght instead of tryi ng to get me to buy twenty dollars wort h of cookies I don't need and don't want?" he asked. "They wouldn't have to make them and bake them and box them and ship them . They're full of hydrogen ated oi I and sugar and no one should be eating them, much les s Girl Scouts . They wouldn' t have to account for them, they wouldn't have to fill out order forms. Why don 't we just donate some money to the Girl Scouts and forget the cookies?" The poor deluded crank. I hope he never has children. Can you imagine how they 'd turn out? I won't waste yo ur time sending Jess ica- Ashleigh around to say "Thank You" becau se after all, time is money and I'm not sure we should be wasting time on personal stuff like that, so I'll say ''Thank You" for her. But you should thank yourselves, too .

(AP)-A man charged with killing an abortion provider will stand trial in a single-day session heard by a judge, who accepted the defendant's decision to waive his right to have the evidence considered by a jury. The much shorter session agreed to 1\iesday could give James Kopp a better platform for his anti-abortion views. Kopp has pleaded innocent to two counts of seco.nd-degree murder in the shooting of Dr. Barnett Slepian in the doctor's Amherst home in 1998. Lawyers had been scheduled to start questioning potential jurors Wednesday. The waiver was the latest surprise in Kopp's untraditional defense. Kopp in November admitted shooting Slepian, 52, but said he only intended to wound him to stop him from performing abortions. A jury trial "would have included 60-some witnesses from the prosecution and whatever Jim has to say about what took place would be lost in a chorus of other evidence, all of which we agree to," said Kopp's lead attorney, Bruce Barket. Another defense attorney, John Elmore, strongly disagreed with the request. Barket said Kopp sought the chan~e "because he thinks it's the nght thing for him to do for himself and for a cause that has been very dear to him his entire life." Judge Michael 0' Amico will decide Kopp's fate based on a list of facts agreed to by the defense and prosecution. The session is scheduled Monday. Building from PageA1 rented scissors-style lift.

(AP)The military confirmed Wednesday that II of the 13 soldiers aboard a Black Hawk helicopter died when their helicopter crashed during tnrining in a remote, wooded area of a post in northern New York. One of the two survivors was in critical condition Wednesday, and the other was in serious condition, a Fort Drum spokesman said. The soldiers had just completed a "sling loading" exercise, loading and unloading equipment from a sling beneath the helicopter, and were on their way back to Wheeler-Sack Airfield when the helicopter crashed about three miles from the field, said Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty. Crews aboard two other helicopters flying in the same tnrining formation did not see the crash, Hilferty said. '1bey came back here and that's when they noticed the trail helicopter was missing," Hilferty said. All 13 soldiers aboard the helicopter were active members of the lOth Mountain Division. The foill arew members were from the division's Aviation Brigade. The infantrymen were from the Second Brigade. Hilferty said officials would not release any of the victims' names until all the families had been contacted. "Oill focus is the families now," Hilferty said. The aecident will be investigated by a team from the Army Safety Center at Fort Rucker, Ala., and personnel from the Criminal Investigation Command, Hilferty said. The military's criminal investigation unit reviews all accidents at military facilities, he said. Investigators stayed at the soene through the night. On Wednesday, heavy snow was falling, making their work more difficult. Hilferty said there were no indication of problems before the crash. "The first call I got was that it was missing. It just disappeared," Hilferty said. ''The Black Hawk is a great helicopter. It is the workhorse of the Army. It has a great safety record," Hilferty said. Maj. Daniel Bohr at Fort Drum said the aircraft last made radio contact shortly before 2 p.m. Rescue crews located the crash site at about 3:30p.m. Hilferty said search crews were slowed getting to the soene by several feet of ice-covered snow in the crash area The crash occurred about 150 yards from a dirt road, he said.

House to vote on bill that would boost gas tax, vehicle fees COLUMBUS (AP) Drivers would pay six cents more in taxes per gallon of gasoline to fund roadways, 3nd $8 to $10 more in motor vehicle fees to fund the State Highway Patrol, under a transportation budget bill up for a vote in the House. The House Finance Committee approved the biU, which would generate $5.8 billion in new money for consbUction and maintenance of roads over 10 years, on a 26-3 vote at 5:45 a.m. Wednesdl)y. The approval · included all Republicans and eight Democrats. 'There's now agreement from members on both sides of the aisle that this bill wiD tremendously improve the state of Ohio's roadways," said Stephen Buehrer, a Republican from Delta who sponsored the bill. The House scheduled a Wednesday afternoon vote on the measure, which then would go to the Senate. By law, the two-year, $4.7 billion Ohio Depwtment of Transportation budget must be in place by March 31. Republicans, who control the House 62-37, delayed a scheduled Tuesday afternoon vote on the measure aftei some Republicans on the committee had refused to back the biU. They either objected to the proposed gas tax increase or the way money raised by the tax would be distributed to townships for roads. House · Speaker Larry Householder would not characterize a flurry of last-minute additions to the bill as compromises to gain Republican votes. Rather, he said, several of the amendments were drawn from bi Us that lawmakers had been working on. 'There were things we were able to put the final touches on. I think they probably brought some votes, but the real purpose was they were the right thing to do for the people in the state of Ohio," Householder said. Earlier, Rep. Tun Grendel!, a Republican from Chesterland who ended up voting for the bill, said that he and fellow anti-tax Republicans didn't like the timing of the gas tax and fee increases, given the tough economic climate and the possible war with Iraq. "Car use is really not optional," he said. "Everybody would be affected by these inareases." The proposed transportation budget would raise the gas tax two cents a year for the next three and increase fees on drivers' licenses, motor vehicle registrations and titles. The current gas tax is 22 cents per gallon. The bill calls for the patrol to be funded mainly by Ohioans throu~h the increased vehicle fees, mstead of through the gas tax, which nonresidents also pay. The shuffle would free up gas tax money for cities, villages, townships and counties for road and bridge projects. However, several Republicans fought Tuesday to rework the distribution fonnula for townships to make it more equitable, instead of having all townships get the same amount of money no matter how many roads they had. "If we don't do something to ease the pressure· on the town- · ships that have lots and lots of' roads, I can' t vote for this bill," . Rep. Jean Schmidt, a Republican from Loveland, said. The comminee then changed the bill so that the new gas tax funding for townships would be . based on the number of road . miles they maintain and tht; · number of vehicles registered in their jurisdictions. The bill , would require that all townships get at least $44,155 annually in new gas tax money in addition to · the $50,479 they curren~y collect. Also added to the bill at the last minute was a provision thai · would exempt vehicles no more than five years old from environ• mental emissions tests now required in northeast and southwest Ohio counties. A 50-cent-per-day fee then would be levied on the 80,000 rental cars in Ohio to raise $29 million over two years to offset anticipated penalties the state would have to pay to contractors whose rates are set based on the number of vehicles on which Echecks are performed. The fee~ . would cease in December 2005 when the E-<:heck program ends. The bill also would lower the drunken driving standard from : 0.10 percent blood alcohol con-· tent to 0.08 percent, as mandated· by a 2000 federal law. And, Ohioans would only be required to purchase · one license plate instead of two, and could buy . them for two years instead of just one. Disaster was visible in a small field It was almost 2 p.m. The firemen Sill· mised the possible threat to a nearoy natural gas well. The wind was blowing and the fire was spreading all around to dried-oot brush. Tmy sparks and slivers of dried grass were smoking all around the gas well. Blaettnar said the firemen moved fast. One spark and a minor brush tire could become something altogether different. 'We were worried more about the gas well more than we were the tractor," he said. The crew extinguished the fire around the ga1 well first before starting on the tractor which by then had become completely enrollfed in flames. With dismay, Lockhart remarked that he had filled the fuel tank on the tractor before . began mowing the field. Blaettnar and his arew put out the tractor fire, too. "By the time we were able to ~ to the tractor, it was fully mvolved and was a total loss," he said. On top of the ridge overlooking the scene, Lockhart, Blaettnar and the rest of the firemen evaluated the black the twisted burned up metal that had been a tractor, and the gas well nearby.

The Daily Se~tinel Nation • World Sotheby's and Christie's to pay $20 million each . to settle antitrust suit NEW YORK (AP) Auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's said Tuesday they each will pay $20 million to settle antitrust claims by overseas c ustomers in a price-fixing case. Former Sotheby's Chairman A. Alfred Taubman was convicted two years ago of plotting with Christie's chief Anthony Tennant to fix the commissions paid by sellers of fine art from 1993 to 1999. The government said the illegal collusion to end the houses' costly rivalry deprived sellers the chance to bargain for a lower price. It also eliminated discounts and resulted in nonnegotiable commissions, costing sellers as much as $400 million. The two houses control nearly the entire worldwide auction market in everything from furniture to antiques to fine art. A judge still must approve the deal, which lawyers said could eventually involve tens of thousands of customers worldwide. If approved, a lawsuit threatened by cus- tomers of the two auction houses in England and a suit filed in Canada will be dismissed. The lead attorney in the Canadian suit, Charles . Wright, said he expected tens of thousands of Christie's and Sotheby's customers to eventually apply for payouts. "You're talking about dozens and dozens of auctions, with hundreds of items in each auction, occurring in auction houses around the world," Wright said. Sotheby's and Christie's have already split $512 million in payouts in a settlement for 130,000 U.S. customers who lost money. Tennant lives in England and has refused to come to the United States for trial. He cannot be extradited on antitrust charges. Christie's representatives did not immediately return a call, but Sotheby's spokesman Matthew Weigman called the settlement a major step. "The point is to put an end to the suits," he said. Iraq destroys more missiles, warns invaders they face deaH 1 . BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)With a U.S .- British deadline for war failing to pick up support, Iraq destroyed more AI Samoud 2 missiles Tuesday in an effort to harden divisions on the U.N. Security Council. Hiro Ueki, a spokesman for the U.N. weapons inspectors, told reporters that Iraq destroyed three more of · the missiles Tuesday. The latest destruction brings to 55 the number of AI Samoud 2s Iraq has crushed since March I. That was the U.N. deadline for Iraq to begin destroying the rockets, of which it had about I 00 in its arsenal. In addition to the missiles, Ueki said, Iraq has so far destroyed 28 warheads, two casting chambers, two launchers and five engines - all associated with the AI Samoud 2 program, said Ueki . Tools and computer software used for launching have also been destroyed. Other U.N. inspection teams went to a Baghdad factory that makes batteries, and a company that produces letter envelopes in the northern city of Mosul, he Another team added. inspected a food processing plant in the city of Karbala southwest of Baghdad, Ueki said. He said there were 71 inspectors in Iraq at present, down from the usual I 00plus in February and January. Ueki, however, dismissed sug~estions that the United Natwns was cutting down the number in the runup to a possible war. He said some of the inspectors who signed three-month contracts in December chose not to renew their contracts and that others were taking a short break in Cyprus, where the inspectors have a rear base . New inspectors have been arriving and more were expected, he added. The United States and Britai n delayed a Security Council vote on whether to give Saddam an ultimatum to disarm or face war when it became clear the proposal would almost certainly be rejected. They signaled they might be willing to compromise to win support from Security Co unci I members reluctant to rush to war. Permanent me meers France and Ru ss ia have threatened to vote against the current version of the resolution, arguing that accelerated disarmament by Iraq was a reason for inspections to continue. Council members agreed to hold another open meeting on the Iraq crisis Tuesday and Wednesday at the request of the NonAligned Movement. which represents 115 mainly deve loping co untri es. Diplomats said a vote would likely come Thursday at the PageA6 earliest. If the resolution is defeated, the U.S. and British governments have said they would be prepared to go to war anyway, with the help of a handful of other I , nal!ons. The government daily AlJumhuriya said in an editor- · ial Tuesday. that any invaders will find their deaths here. "The tyrants of the evil American administration ... will meet their black fate at the high gates of Baghdad, where the c.o urageous people of Iraq will teach them a lesson," it said. Iraq's deputy prime minister, Tariq Aziz, said Monday that the Americans and British were miscalcu- . lating their chances of success, and that invading forces "are not going to take Iraq easily." "They want us to surrender to them before the war," he said. "We shall not surrender at all, and when they fight ... we will fight them - courageous! y and effectively - and they will fail. They will fail." The U.S. military, meanwhile, said coalition aircraft enforcing a "no-fly zone" over southern Iraq early Tuesday bombed three unmanned, underground military communication sites. The sites were located in separate towns southeast of Baghdad. The "no-fly zones" over southern and northern Iraq were originally meant to protect Shiite Muslims and Iraqi Kurds from attacks waged by the Iraqi army. In recent weeks, however, the airstrikes have been used to weaken Iraqi defenses in possible preparation for a war. A delegation of Arab foreign ministers was heading to Baghdad this week on an " urgent and critical" trip in an attempt to avert war and urge Iraq to increase cooperation with the weapons inspectors. They were bearing a message from top U.N. nuclear inspector Mohammed E!Baradei, who told the Saudi-owned newspaper AI Hayat that he was proposing to Saddam "an essential spirit and c hange m essence." " If Iraq , during the coming week or the next two weeks, failed to present absolute evidence that it does. not possess (banned) weapons, we will walk the path of war," he was quoted as say ing. "The next two weeks will be decisive, and the ball is st ill in th e Iraqi court." Wednesday, March 12, 2003 The Daily Sentinel Inside: Scoreboard, Page 82 Spring Training, Page 83 Judge: 'Enemy combatant' can . meet lawyers over gov't objections NEW YORK (AP) -. A man accused of plotting to · detonate a dirty bomb in the United States can meet with his lawyers despite government claims that the meetings might spoil attempts to prevent future terrorist attacks, a judge ruled Tuesday. u.s. District Judge Michael Mukasey in Manhattan noted the heated rhetoric from both sides as he rejected a government plea to reverse hi s December decision to let defense lawyers meet with Jose Padilla. an American citizen accused of plotting with al-Qaida to detonate a radioactive dirty bomb in the United States. Although the judge had permitted Padilla, 31, access to counsel for the first time since he was designated an enemy combatant in June, Padilla was not . allowed to see a lawyer while the judge was reconsidering the ruling. Defense la.wyers are challenging his enemy combatant status. The government claimed in written arguments that letting Padilla meet lawyers "risks that plans for future attacks will go undetected" because they believed defense lawyers would -persuade him not to share inform ation with the government. The judge said the defense was suggesting that a failure to give Padilla a lawyer would mean "a dictatorship will be upon us, the tanks will have rolled." The judge wrote: "Those·to whom images of catastrophe come that easily might take comfort in recalling that it is a year and a half since Sept. II , 2001, and Padilla's is not only the first. but also the only case of its kind." "There is every reason to hope, but also to expect that this case will be just anoth~r of the tsolated cases ... that deal with isolated events and have limited application," he added. Donna Newman, a defense lawyer fighting to meet with Padilla, said she was pleased that Mukasey reaffirmed Padilla's access to counsel. After an initial appearance in New York, Padilla was taken to a Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. " It is comforting for all United States citizens that if they were to be seized by the military and held incommunicado. at least an attorney can have access to them and be thei r voice," Newman said. "We're studying the opinion," said Marvin Smilon, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney James Corney. Padilla was arrested May 8 in Chicago as he returned from a trip to Pakistan. He was lirst held as a material witness in a grand jury probe of the Sept. II terrorist attack. On June 9. he was designated an enemy combatant. The government said he approached Abu Zubaydah, al-Qaida's top terrori~ coordinator. in Afghanistan in 200 I and proposed stealing radioactive material to detonate a dirty bomb in the United States. Enemy combatants, a type of wartime prisoner, are held without charge or trial and are not allowed to see lawyers. The White House contends that it can in some instances designate U.S. citizens as enemy combatants, blocking them from seeing lawyers, to protect national security. That position is being challenged in courts and has beeri questioned on Capitol Hil. Wednesday, March 12, 2003 UConn has first loss since 2001 PISCATAWAY, N.J .

All NHL teams make trading deals All 30 NHL teams made deals on one of the most active trading days in league history. Before 3 p.m. in the East on the fmal dealing day, 46 players and at least I 6 draft picks were swapped in a flurry of 24 trades. The NHL said it was the most number of deals and players moved since at least 1980. St. Louis found an answer for its goaltending woes by prying Chris Osgood away from the New York Islanders. Osgood missed nearly seven weeks due to an ankle injury, but returned Saturday night before New York embarked on a key six-game road trip that started with a 4-3 loss in Vancouver. The Blues sent prospect Justin Papineau and a second-round pick in this year's draft to the Islanders. St. Louis also received a thirdround pick from New York for the 30-year-old Osgood, who is earning $4 million and can be a restricted free agent at season's end. St. Louis is chasing the Stanley Cup champion Red Wings for the Central Division title. Detroit shored up its defense by trading for Los Angeles' Mathieu Schneider, a champion with Montreal in 1993 who is joining his sixth NHLteam. President okays registry to block calls WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush on Tuesday signed legislation creating a national "do-not-call" list intended to help consumers block unwanted telemarketing calls. The bill allows the Federal Trade Commission · to collect fees from telemarketers to fund the registry, which will cost about $16 million in its ftrst year. The do-not-call program should begin operation by summer. Telemarketers say the registry will devastate their business. -The Direct Marketing Association filed a lawsuit against the FTC 'last rrionffi'' oil' grounds the registry unlawfully restricts free speech. Consumer groups and many lawmakers say the registry has overwhelming support from a public that is fed up with unwanted telemarketing calls. Consumers could enroll in the free service via the Internet or a toll-free number. Telemarketers would have to check the list every three months to find out who does not want to be called. Those who call listed people could be fined up to $11 ,000 for each violation. Charities, surveys and calls on behalf of politicians would be exempt. The FTC has limited authority to police telemarketing calls from certain industries, including airlines, banks and telephone companies. The Federal Communications Commission, which oversees calls made by those industries, has been working with the FTC and is considering adding its clout to the program.

Whiteoak, 18-3, as part of Ohio's Elegant 8 advances to the regional finals against the night's second game winner between Wellington and Danbury Friday at 7:30. Eastern bows out of tournament play with an excellent 16-7 record, a sectional and district championship, and a fourth straight finish as District champion or District runner-up. Two out of the last four years, Eastern has been a part of Ohio's Sweet 16. Coach Howie Caldwell has much to be proud of in that his club finished strong in winning 13 of its last 14 games· after a slow start on the season. Eastern also says good-bye to three talented seniors Brent Buckley, Brandon Werry, and Jason Kimes. All will be missed after ending outstanding careers. The story of the game was shooting, or perhaps a touch of tough ironclad defense. Eastern shot just 29 percent for the game, hitting 12-41 overall. Eastern hit 7-24 two 's and 5-17 three's, while hitting 8-14 at the line. Whiteoak hit a third better with a warm 20-42 overall, going 20-40 on two's, and 0-2 on three's.

Mike James made two witb 0.4 seconds left after being kicked in the head by Cleveland's Ricky Davis to lead the Miami Heat to a 77-75 win over the Cavaliers on Thesday night. Miami won despite scoring just 10 points in the fourth quarter on 2-of-13 shooting. James, who missed two free throws with 25.9 seconds left, hit his game winners after being struck in the side of the head by a soaring Davis, who got faked into the air as the Heat guard was attempting a 3-pointer. "He almost jumped over me," James said. "I just tried to jump into him because he 's extremely athletic ." Cleveland (11-53) lost its seventh straight -its 13th in 14 games- and can't seem to catch a break. "I thought I jumped all the way over him," Davis said. "I got there late.

About a month ago, I ~t a wonderful guy, '"Adam," who treats me like a ~ueen . He's 18. My parents hke him and so do all my friends. Adam is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He is a singer m a local band and all the girls are crazy for him. I am amazed that he wants to be with someone like me. Lately, Adam has been talking about marriage and hinting that it's me he wants to marry. I told him I'd think about it -- but the more I do, the more confused I get. I real! y like him, but I'm not sure I want to be married right out of high school. I only have a few months until I tum 18 and graduate -- then I have to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life. The thought is overwhelming. Can you help me? - TURBULENT TEEN IN WYOMING DEAR TURBULENT TEEN: Follow your instincts. You appear to be an intelligent young lady with a lot to offer. I see no reason to rush to the altar. Adam may be a terrific young man with a great future, but do not allow yourself to be talked into anything. Get more training and education. Marry no one until DEAR ONE-TRACK that you feel more secure if MIND: You have my sympa- you are supervising them. It's Dear Abby ADVICE you are self-supporting. . DEAR ABBY: I am a healthy and attractive 68year-old widow. For a month last summer, I dated a wonderful 65-year- old man. In that short time, I fell in love with him, but he went back to another woman he had dated before me. My heart has been broken ever since. I have not been able to get this man off my mind. We attend a number of the same social functions in town, and each time I see him, it destroys me. There are very few single men my a~e, so finding a new compamon is not an easy task. I am a busy, productive lady, but I carry my thoughts everywhere I go. It feels like an obsession. Never in all my life have I felt like this. I cannot continue in this state of mind. Please help. - ONETRACK MIND SOMEWHERE IN WISCONSIN thy. You may need professional counseling to get beyond this, and I hope you' H waste no time in gettin~ it. It would also be helpful 1f you found (at least temporarily) other social activities where you can meet new people and not be haunted by the ghost of last summer's romance. · DEAR ABBY: I am a single mom with a 7-year-old son, "Jason." We're new to the neighborhood, but Jason has made friends with three boys from a family who lives across the street. The kids are great, and they all play well together. However, the boys' mother is irresponsible and cannot be trusted. I know for a fact that she steals from stores and dabbles in illegal substances. I want my son to have friends, but I refuse to allow him to play at their home. Am I wrong? How should I explain this to the boys' mother if she asks why Jason isn't allowed to come over? - MICHIGAN MOM DEAR MICHIGAN MOM: You ' re not wrong. You're a mother who has her priorities straight. If the woman asks you why you want t~e children at your home, tell her with a smile the truth -- but don't be surprised if it's a question she never asks. More to the point is the question you did NOT ask. If the boys' mother is into drugs and thievery, you would be doing the boys a favor to notify Child Protective Services. You can ask that your n!lme not be used. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother; Pauline Phillips.

Trussell was notified last week that Sheriff Landon Smith will no longer accept prisoners who require prescription medication, because the Jail is no longer staffed by a nurse. Meigs County houses prisoners in the Caldwell jail under a continuing contract between Smith and Trussell and the county commissioners in both counties. Under that contract, Meigs pays Noble County $200 per day for beds for five male inmates. The contract is binding regardless of whether the beds are filled, but the Noble County facility is usually Trussell's first choice for housing prisoners because of the negotiated rate. Meigs County also houses prisoners, including women, m the Washington County Jail, at $55 per day, and in Gallia County and Middleport jails, when space is available. Southeastern Ohio Regional 1ail in Nelsonville is also available to house local prisoner s, but the cost is considerably higher than other jails. Trussell Trusell said Meigs County has one prisoner still in the Noble County jail, but said ''most" prisoners in his custody are prescribed some type of medICation. . '"They're still going to take our prisoners, but not any of those who require administration of medications," Trussell said Wednesday. "Right now, we have a prisoner awaiting transport to prison, and while Noble County usually takes care of our prison transports, we· can't house the prisoner there because of his medications." Trussell closed the antiquated Meigs County Jail last year during his on~oing 200~ budget battle wtth Meigs County commissioners. He said the cost of utilities, cooks' salaries, and maintenance and repair on the century-old Meigs jail takes funding from line items needed for law enforcement protection, specifically deputies' salaries.

N?vem~r 1999, the comrruss10n s role ts to oversee the school district's fmancial recovery. The school district is currently $665,000 in debt. Last week, Gov. Bob Taft cut approximately $39,000 in state aid to the school district which could further increase the debt amount. The school district has experienced recurring general fund operating deficiencies for the past three years which has forced it to borrow against future revenues to finance its operations. Since the school district was declared in 1999 to be in fiscal eme~ency statur.'tr•(lbtained addittonal advan~ to.fmance fiscal years 2000, 2001 and 2002. The district has not requested voter approval for additional general fund operating levies. . Superintendent Bob Grueser is asking for nearly $1 million more in state money to make necessary repairs to Southern High School. Some of that money may come directly from the district. Grueser detailed some of the things he is asking for from the Ohio Facilities Commission. Grueser said the high school phone system does not work well on a good day. He recalled an incident when he had to dial the same number seven times in order for an important call to be placed to Columbus. Grueser said the bathrooms in the school are -falling apart. Urinals and some toilets are in such a state of disrepair that custodial workers need to use buckets to complete the task of ordinary sanitation.
