L------------' Mar~,ker ed~or POMEROY - A proposal for a change in the way reading is taught when elementary students move into the new Meigs Elementary School this fall has been accepted by the Meigs Local Board of Education. Superintendent William Buckley reponed to the board Tuesday night on a proposed "Reading Academy" to be given by Tony Deem, elementary p,rinCipal for the new school of approximately 950 students, and Kristin Acree, the assistant principal. Buckley described that program as a "tiered system of teaching reading which would first determine where the kids are- below level, at grade level, or above grade level." • He said that currently students are "all over the place in reading" and described some kids as getting labeled as "special ed before their time, many having the ability, just not the exposure." He added that what has-jo be done first is to identify the reading level and then go from there. With that he proposed the creation of six reading spe. cialist positions, one readmg . coordinator/teacher position, two elementary librarian positions, oner Middle School Librarian pos1tton and two elementary computer specialist positions to carry out the program which would go through elementary and into . middfe school. Buckley said that there are qualified teachers on staff to fill all of the positions with the exception of the reading The coordinator/teacher. board gave unanimous approval of moving forward with the program and voted to create the new positions. Personnel hired . Personnel hired on supplemental contracts during the meeting were Tim Simpson, SO days extended service as vocational agriculture . teacher; Rick Blaettnar and Carl Wolfe as high scliool, coathletic directors, and Blaettnar and Wofle as coathletic treasurers. ,No move yet Buckley reponed that the Middle School is completed but students cannot move into the building until a certificate of occupancy has been received from the Ohio Department of Commerce. Tentative plans had called for the transition from the old to the new school to take place Monday, but the supermtendent stressed that the move cannot take place until all legalities are cleared .

College students who died in arson are remembered COLUMBUS (AP) - . The similarities between Kyle Raulin and Alan Schlessman were endless. Tall and handsome with welcoming smiles. The only sons in their respeclive families. Avid athletes who especially loved basketball. Both loved family, friends, children, Ohio State University - and, especially, life. ,Each grew up about 100 miles away from the campus where they eventually would meet - Raulin, 20, in West Chester near Cincinnati, and Schiess man, 21, in Perkins Township near Sandusky. "They traveled those I 00 miles to fmd a brother - a brother for eternity," Terry Rau,in, Kyle's father, told the 700 people who attended an hourlong memorial service honoring the college students Wednesday at Ohio State's Mershon Auditorium. They were among the five who died in an arson on April 13 after Schlessman 's 21st . birthday party. Also remembered Wednesday were the three sor?rity_ sisters ~rom Ohio Uruvers1ty who died: Andrea Dennis, 20, of Madeira near Cincinnati,_Erin DeMarco, 19, of Nmush1llen Township near Canton, and Christine Wilson, 19, of the Columbus suburb of Dubhn. A separate memonal service was planned for Saturday, at Ohio University's Athens campus, about 75 miles southeast of Columbus. Police had identified no suspeels or motive in the fite, which started just after 4 a. in. in the three-story yellow brick rooming house rented by Schlessman, Raulin and 10 other friends. The deaths were being investigated as homicides, and possible charges could include manslaughter and murder. Arson and homicide investigators waited Wednesday in the hallway outside the auditorium to see if witnesses they hadn't been able to locate since the morning of the fire would show up. Several neighbors had to !eave their da!J:taged apartments m the two houses next door. Police Detective Mike McCann said they wanted to ~k some a few follow-up quesnons. Just a Jew feet away, mourners browsed collages of photos of Schlessman and Raulin propped on gold easels. The snapshots included prom dates, athletic teams, and moments such as a young Schlessman , dunking a red plastic basketball through a toy hoop and a teenage Raulin posjng on a deck overlooking a brilliant ocean. I~side, pictures of tl!e five VICtims were projected onto two screens that served as back~ps. Three. arrangements of pink, yellow and white flowers adorned the stage, a musician played a golden harp. and a somber vocalist sang "Amazing Grace." Tliursday, April 24, 2003 _A_s s _oc _ia_ ted_ P_re_s_s _____ WASHINGTON (AP) _ Ohio Sen..George Voinovich, a rare Republican holdout against President Bush's tax cut proposal, earned a reputation as a tightad · w during his years as Ohio governor. He shined his own shoes, bought his clothes on sale, and when he learned public money was used to buy snacks served on stale airplanes, lie banned the snacks.

As President Bush prepares to visit Ohio Thursday to promote his plan for $550 billion in tax cuts, Voinovich faces a new test One aim of the trip is to put presSIU'e on Voinovich to change his stance - similar to a trip Bush made in Ohio in 200 I, after which Voinovich came out in suwort of lhe president's $1.6 trillion tax cut proposal. Voinovich spokesman Scott Milburn said the 2001 decision was different. At the time, the country had a budget surplus. This time, Voinovich has refused to support tax reductions' of more than $350 billion unless they are offset by spending cuts. "He has been consistent from the beginning and it's not going to change," Milburn said. Back when Voinovich was ~ovemor, says Browning, his ormer . budget director, ·"I remember sitting with piles of spreadsheets. ... He wanted to know the ins and outs of everything: What are we doing and what are we buying, and if we spend more money, what will we get for it?" 1be son of a Democratic activist in Cleveland, Voinovich, 66, got into politics early. Five · years after earning · his law degree from Ohio State University, he wa~ elected at age 30 to the Ohio House. as a Republican. When he was elt~:ted mayor of Cleveland in 1979, the city had defaulted on its loans and was in fiscal ruin. Voinovich raised taxes rux! balanced the books. He mn for governor in 1990, saying hewould bring the same fiscal discipline to the state budget. Air Force anti-collision system ready for testing . BY JAMES HANNAH Associated Press It will probably be a couple of years before the military begins using the system, Swihart said, adding he doesn't know which fighter planes would be the flrst to be equipped. Markman said the system could also be used on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or robot spy planes, which now fly only in restricted airspace or at very high altitudes to avoid collisions. · DAYTON (AP)- Testing is to begin this year on equipment desi~ed to help fighter pilots avmd in-flight crashes. Researchers at . WrightPatterson Air Force Base began work on developing the system about three years ago, working with their counterparts in Sweden's defense department. Currently, some planes have systems that warn of potential collision when aircraft are miles from each other. But those systems are of limited help to fighter planes, which often operate in close proximity to each other and are visible to the pilots. Donald Swihart, program mana~er for the Autoniatic Air CollisiOn Avoidance System at Wright Patterson, said fighter pilots now must take evasive action on their own. That can take extremely quick reaction time if pilots are practicing air-to-air combat, flyin!l in close formation or refuelmg be said. ' "For rapidly maneuvering close fighters, the system has to be automatic for short reaction times," Swihart said. "Pilots don't think they have a problem- then it's too late." The flight test for the new system are to be held at Edwards Air Force Base in California - first with a single F-16 and a virtual target, then with two planes. The computer system would take control of the plane from the pilot if another aircraft gets too close~ Safety distances can be programmed into the computer. . "If he hasn't taken evasive action by a certain point, the system will kick in automatically and take control from a pilot," said Steve Markman, the program's flight test director. . The plane would then veer into the safest open area. . "It picks the clearest space available," Swihart said. "As soon a~ the threat is gone, it gives it back to the pilot.'' The system could help in bad weather when it's difficult to see nearby jets, said Maj. Tom Casey, chief of flight . safety for the Ohio National Guard's I78th Fighter Wing in Springfield. • 'That would be fine if it was workin~ as ·accurately as . it sounds. ' he said. Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst with the Teal Group Corp., a Fairfax, Va.based aerQspace consulting firm, said the system could be usedatairshows, whenplanes · are flying in close quaners.

Trees make it possible BY ANN BONNER · Contributor . GALLIPOLIS - Did you know birding is one of most popular pastimes in North America? Many homeowners invest large amounts of time ai]d money in bird feeders and birdseed in hopes of attracting birds with their bright plumage and happy songs. In fact, an estimated 60 million people spend close to a billion dollars annually on seed and associated products. Countless others travel to faroff places in search of winged friends. · If trekking to the tropics is not an option and you don't have lots of money to spend on seed, don't despair! You can invite a wide variety of birds to your own backyard simply by investing in- and planting - suitable trees. Why is creating a backyard bird haven beneficial to urban dwellers? In addition to the pleasures of majestic trees and trilling notes, laboratory research out of Texas A&M University shows that returning to more natural, less artificial settings produces significant recovery from stress. With a ·large part of the state dedicated to cities and towns (Ohio has over 940 municipalities) and 80 percent of Ohioans living in urban settings, maintaining a balance with nature is an eas~, economical way to mamtain emotional wellbeing. If preserving your own sanity isn't motivation enough, creating local ecosystems of trees and plants that attract songbirds serves a larger purpose: Helping to protect bird species. As rural development continues to spread, many species of songbirds are declining or at risk because of habitat loss. Like people, birds need food, water, and shelter to survive. Planting trees of dif. fel'ent types, sizes, and form helps encourage diversity. Think of your yard in tiers and try to include a mix of large "canopy" trees and smaller mid-story trees, as well as shrubs and vines. Top tier Baltimore Orioles, RedEyed Vireos and Scarlet T;magers nest in tall-growing hardwood species like oak, hickory, maple, sycamore, and elm. These trees also provide acorns, nuts, and fruits for feathery denizens - home- grown ''energy bars" help birds build up fat reserves for winter. Pines. spruces, junipers. hemlocks, and cedars provide year-round cover from predators and weather because they retain most of their needles. Brown-Headed Nuthatches find these evergreens• agreeable nesting sites. ln'llddition, sap. needles, twigs. buds. and seeds also double as food. Mid tier Wood Thrushes gravitate to mulberry, redbud, plum, serviceberry, dogwood, crabapple, and apple trees during fall migration. They refuel on the fruits and berries from these trees on their way south. These trees also offer great places for nesting as well as escape cover. Lower tier Shrubby dogwoods, evegreen shrubs and viburnums are attractive to many bird species while Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds love to nest and forage among trumpet vine thickets. Cardinals and Gray Catbirds nest in holly bushes and eat the fr.uit. Ground level Some birds, like the American Robin and Bluebird, require open habitats in suburban landscapes. Selective clearings between trees will help encourage these bird species to visit. Don't forget tree arrange· ment when planting. Be sure to position food sources near cover. For example, conifers should be planted on the northwest side of your property to give shelter from prevailihg winds. Plant different trees, like crabapples, inside · the windbreak. Last but not least, don't feel like you have to have a huge spread with dozens of trees to reel in songbirds. You can plant just a few and get delightful results. Viewing songbirds on your property is not only educational ... it's fun. The variety and numbers that visit your yard regularly will depend on what trees you plant. Take your cue from the list provided here, study local forests. or consult your local urban forester, nursery, or coun1y Extension office for advice. Using Mother Nature's bird feeders - trees - will leave you with more time to spend watching birds (instead of filling up feeders) and save you money on birdseed. Ann Bonner is with the ODNR Division of Forestry. Tips for. gardening with less hassle GALLIPOLIS - In April, lawns turn green, the weather turns nic~ and people are in the mood to go outside and work in the yard. However, many weekend gardeners go to work on Monday mornings with bandaged fingers, painful sun'bum and aching backs. The Gallia County Farm Bureau and the 'National Safety Council urge gardeners to start right, pace themse'lves and take . frequent breaks to avoid sore muscles, blisters and sunburn.' Bob Powell , President, suggests that springtime gardeners dress properly-for the task. He said this includes wearing clothes that are comfdrtable and fit well, including a long-sleeved shirt and full length pants, a hat with a brim or visor to protect the top of the head and shade the nose from the sun, sturdy, heavy-soled shoes. ·work glCJves and safety glasses. The work will be easier if tools are in good condition, clean and have sharp cutting edges, he added. "Use a tool only for it's intended purpose and do not leave rakes, hoes, spades, spading forks, pruning clippers, pointed scissors, files and metal plant stakes lying around when they are not PageA4 being used," he said. · Here are some other pointers to think about: • Tools waiting to be used should be placed blade down toward either a wall or fence. • Use only the heavy, outdoor extension cords for electric tools like trimmers. • Ground all power tools . unless they are double insulated. • When a power tool jams or won't start, unplug the power cord before you 'try to free the jam or find the problem. Unplug any power tool you are not using, even for only a few minutes. • Keep cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges and wet spots. • Read pesticide container labels carefully and follow directions exactly. Substitute non-poisonous insecticide s whenever possible_ • Mix sprays outdoors, being careful not to spill chemicals on the ground or grass areas used by family .members or pets. • Stay upwind of the area being sprayed. Protect your eyes and skin. • Store pesticides in their original containers, in a cabinet or room that locks . Never store them near human or pet foods or transfer them to food or drink containers.

Allen J. Moran is with tht~ Farm Sen'ict~ Agt~ncy. Round bale silage is a relatively new method of preserving forage. It is a combination of hay and silage making and has certain advantages and disadvantages over other forage preservation systems. Round b<~e silage is simply forage of a. relatively high moisture content that is baled with a round baler and then stored in a sealed container. usually a plastic bag. Both grasses and legumes can be preserved as round bale silage if proper techniques are followed. It is much easier to make good hay crop silage in silos than in large round bales. Baled silage is more li.kely to spoil as compared to silage in traditional silos because (!)fermentation is ·less complete and "(2) opportunity is great for damage to the plastic covering, resulting in the hannful introduction of oxygen. Cut and mechanically condition the forage as normal for haymaking. Forage for round bale silage should be baled at 40 to 60 percent moisture. Baling at the proper moisture content is the sin~le most important variable m round bale silage making. Bailing stlage w1th too much mmsture reduces the amount of dry matter stored per bag which greatly increases storuge cost. The type of baler does not appear to affect results, but comparative data are lacking. Cham-type balers might be slightly better than belt-type since belt~ might start slipping due to the wetness of the forage. Regardless of the type of baler used, it is important to remember than bales containinl!40 to 60 percent moisture w1ll weight about two times more than will normal hay bales of the same size. Bales much heavier than this are very difficult to move and handle. The size of bales that weigh 1,500-2,000 pounds will depend upon moisture content, type of baler and type of forage. but bales 4 to 5 feet iin diameter containing 50 per- cent dry maner forage should weigh about one ton. Bales should be put in bags or wrapped as. soon as possible after . baling, for maximum preservation. Bales should be elevated using a bale probe mounted on a tractor and then the bag is pulled carefully over the bale. After placing the bale in the bag the end should be tightly closed and .double tied with good quality twine. Immediately after bagging or wrapping, inspect the plastic for holes, and patch if necessary. All holes, regardless of their size must be patched to minimize storage losses. Bales should be stored in a well drained site that is free of vegetation and trash. A clean site reduces the potential for rodent damage to the bags. Do not move the bales until feeding to avoid damaging the plastic. Plastic should be inspected at least weekly and holes patched as soon as they are found. In theory, round bale silage should not spoil as long as the plastic reni'ams intact. The feeding value of round bale silage will be no better than the quality of the starting forage, and usually it is worse. If bales are moldy and warm when opened feeding value will be poor. It is a good idea to analyze round bale silage for normal components such as protein, fiber and minerals and also for available protein prior to feeding. Severely spoiled bales also can contain harmful bacteria (Listeria) and molds and should not be fed. Many different losses of nutrients can occur between cutting a foruge crop and harvesting the crop. Cenain losses, such as respiration are unavoidable and largely independent of the type of harvestmg system used. Other losses such as mechanical shattering and rain damage can be avoided or greatly reduced depending upon how the forage is harvested. Haymaking generally causes the greatest field losses because foruge.is dry when it is mechanically handled. EVERYDAY . 3 112" Doubles $399 Any Exp. .

Future trainees will apply online, said Robert Johnson, spokesman for the TransJ?Ortation Security Admimstration, which runs the training. Lawmakers last year overrode the Bush . administration's objections to allowing pilots to carry weapons on the flight deck because of fears it would be dangerous and distracting. The airlines also opposed weapons on the flight deck for the same reasons. · • Pilots were concerned the Bush administration would try to limit the program because of its earlier objections. Last week in Georgia they · said they were happy with the initial training, which will .be modified as the TSA learns more about what works and what doesn't. . "We're very pleased with what's going on down here," Luckey said last week. The next class is scheduled for midsummer, though the TSA doesn't know yet how large it will be. According to one estimate, about a third of the I00,000 pilots in the United States will volunteer to carry guns and complete the training in the next five years. Some pilots are likely to be trained at a federal law enforcement training center in Artesia, N.M., as well as the facility in Georgia. Training a single pi)ot costs $6,200, but there are likely to be new expenses for equipment and training aids, said Johnson. The course itself is unlikely to change much, he said. The agency determined that it could spend $8 million· on the program between now and Sept. 30 after analyzing the budget approved by Congress in January, Johnson said. TSA asked for $25 million to train pilots next year. Airlines learned on Sunday if any of their pilots were sworn in to carry weapons. The pilots trained on their own time, and .djdn't have to tell their employer because fai~ng could have adversely affected their jobs. Four pilots didn't complete the course for undisclosed reasons. Pilots could fail to graduate from the course for reasons such as an inability to finish the rigorous training or failing psychological tests that indicate whether he or she would be able to kill another person.

New stent that promises to improve heart treatment BY lAUREN NEERQAARD Associated Press WASHINGTON A much-anticipated new type of stent that keeps clogged heart arteries propped open by emitring a drug won federal approval Thursday, a move that could dramatically change heart -disease treatment - but at a much higher cost. The Food and Drug Administration approved the sale of Johnson & Johnson's Cypher stent after studies comparing it with standard treatment showed the new stent significantly reduced the chance of heart attack or the need for additional surgery.

Syria was warned to stop selling military equipment to Iraq. Iran was warned not to send forces across its 900-mile border with Iraq. · Both the actions that prompted the warnings and the countries that were warned represent sensitive issues in themselves, which 'makes one ask why the threats weren't deliv~red privately, through diplomatic channels, rather than in pubhc pronouncements. . The bottom line is that the war in Iraq has serious potential for expanding beyond the borders of that country to become a regional conflict. That is a problem, and Rumsfeld's and Powell's public warnings to Syria and Iran do not make the situation in the region easier. - TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS · Today is Thursday, April 24. the I 14th day of 2003.

The seeking symbolic preliminary future of the Palest101an ~ople concessions from Israel and IS 10 the balance, and no one knows what Arafat will do. One top Israeli diplomat I talked to suggested that the Palestinian public and their politicians were sufficiently fed up with A.rafat's rule and its bitter fruits, and that they'd pressure him to yield power to Abu Mazen. Given the stunning allied victory in Iraq. that possibility should be even greater. Any prospect that the Arabs somehow could expel U.S. influence - and Israel - froin the region now seems remote. indeed. . On the other hand, Arafat's whole career has consisted of keeping himself in charge of the Palestinian nationalist movement,' of using violence as a key strategy and of refusing to accept any peace deal short of total victory. Last Thursday, Arafat bio~­ rapher Barry Rubin recalled 10 a Los Angeles Times op-ed piece that just-captured Palestinian terrorist Abu Abbas was one o( Arafat's closest allies for 20 years and served as his intermediary with Hussein. When Abbas was captured in Iraq by U.S. forces , an A.rafat aide claimed that he could not be kept in custody or tried for the murder of U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer, who was killed aboard the cruise ship Achille Lauro in I985, because Abbas was covered by an amnesty agreed to as part of the Oslo peace process undertaken in the 1990s by Israel and Arafat. . The United States, of course, was not a party to that agreement and plans to keep Abbas in custody or tum him over. to Italy, under whose flag the Achille Lauro sailed. The Oslo peace process never produced a final peace agreement despite the strenu• ous efforts of former Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Ehud Barak and form~t President Bill Clinton ---' because Arafat refused to accept a deal that would have returned 98 percent of Israelioccupied Palestinian territory,_ not I00 percent. There's no guarantee that A.rafat's yielding authority to Abu Mazen will produce peace. either. 'The Iikt:ly scenario," said the Israeli diplo. mat I talked to, "is that Abu. Mazen does get authority, vis. its the White House and starts talking to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "But then, after two months or so, there'd be a new round of terrorist attacks by Hamas or Islamic Jihad, Sharon would say that the new Palestiniaq Authority couldn't or wouldnlt control it and we'd be back to square one. The vicious cycle is the likeliest scenario." It's true. Terrorist groups · aided by Syria and Iran are determined to wreck .peace prospects. It's not clear that any Palestinian government could control them. And Israel will not release its security grip or withdraw its forces unless the threat of terrorism is lifted. Still, the Bush administration has got to try to get a peace process started - if only as a means of quieting critics in Europe artd the Arab world. Arafat remains an obstacle, however. And, unfortunately, Bush can't remove him as effectively as he did Hussein. · (Morton·Kondracke is executive editor of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.) . Still waiting for excellence They remember vividly that day at the White House - 20 years ago this month - when President Ronald Reagan presented their report to the press. Reagan clearly hadn't read the report. It was about reforming public education and carried the now-famous title, "A Nation at Risk." When the president began talking about reinstating school prayer and giving tax credits to private-school . parents, the men and women who had produced the report shifted uncomfortably in their seats. "He implied all of th,at was in the report," says former UC Berkeley President David Gardner, who served as the chairman of the national commission that included Nobel laureate Glenn Seaborg and future baseball commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti, then the president of Yale. "My heart sank," recalls Harvard physics professor Gerald Holton, another commission member. Holton figured that the 18 months he and his colleagues Joan Ryan had put into the report had gone to waste. But unlike the president, the press had read the report. Reagan's partisan blunder booste_d the _report's credibility; the press ~new the commissi?n c}early was not domg R~agan s b1ddmg.

As it stands, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves," the report sa1d. · It so deeply captured the attention of the public and the politicians that many felt academic excellence was on its way. So what happened? Here we are, two decades later. still treading the same waters. Yes, important impmvements emerged from "A Nation at Risk" : Standards were instituted, more academic courses were required in high school, teachers earned more money and received better training. Most important, education catapulted to the top of the public agenda. But excellence has yet to arrive, much to the disappointment of the 1983 commissio.n. "We didn't have the power of the purse," Holton says. "And the recommendations lacked an implementing authority. We only had the power of persuasion." Said Norman Francis, president of Xavier U niverslty of Louisiana. another member of the commission: "Our schools are still in trouble. I'm not sure the school systems understood the depth of the commitment required for the revolutionary changes we were recommending. If you're not vigilant, committed. passionate, change is not going to happen . . • And it didn't happen." Gardner says, however, the report accomplished its most important objective: Dramatically increasing the public and political interest in education. Every president for two decades has made education a priorit~ Like "education" presidents before him, President Bush has an education refonn plan, called No Child Left Behind. It promises, again, that excellence is on its way. "It's great to have a plan, but you can't just talk about it," Francis says. "Or we will repeat the failures of the last 20 years."

(AP) -· Mine rescue teams have entered the Loveridge Mine for' the first time since a ftre l),-oke out Feb. 13. · Wearing self-contained breathing packs. the teams have been underground for about a week, exploring areas near where the ftre occurred, .said Thomas Hoffman, CONSOL Energy's vice president for investor and public relations . .. The teams .are identifying areas where there have been roof falls and where there is water. They're also trying to cool off hot spots. Their find· ings will be used to draft a plan to rehabilitate the mine. An Australian method that uses a jet engine to pump inert gases into a burning coal mine allowed the teams to reenter several months earlier than they otherwise would have been able to. Hoffman said. Thirteen Australian engineers and technicians from the Queensland Mines Rescue Services Ltd. began blasting carbon dioxide and nitrogen into the mine to displace oxy. gen on April 6. The Australians and their groundm\)unted, srecially modifted GAG-3A Jet engine left Sunday to return home. "We think the jet worked pretty well. We still.have this very hot coal, however, where the teams are keeping the atmosphere inert," by not reestablishing ve ntilation to those sections, Hoffman said Wednesday. Utah sect leader criticizes Santorum's polygamy comment SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The leader of one of Utah's largest polygamist sects has objected to Sen. Rick Santorum 's comment lumping plural marriage with · practices the other . Pennsylvania Republican considers to be antifamily. Santorum has been under fire for comparing homosexuality to bigamy, polygamy, incest and adultery. · Owen Allred, 89, head of the United Apostolic Brethen, based .in the Salt Lake Citv suburb of Bluffdale, - agreed with Santorum in part · "He is absolutely right. The ~eople of the United States are doing whatever they can to do away with the sacred rights of marriage," Allred told The Salt Lake Tribune . Allred said Santorum ' s inclusion of polygamy in his list tarnishes a religious tradition whose roots are traced to biblical figures such as Abraham, Jacob and Moses -' defiling thell) as "immoral and dirty." In an interview with The Associated Press published over the weekend, Santorum criticized homosexuality while discussing a pending Supreme Court case over a Texas sodomy law. "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home , then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything ," Santorum said. . "Whether it's polygamy, whether it' s adultery, where it's sodomy. all of those things, are antithetical to a -healthy, stable . traditional family," he said. Polygamy was abandoned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints more than a century ago and it excommunicate s members who advocate it, but it is estimated that tens of thousands in Utah continue the practice. Membership estimates for Allred's church range from 4,000 to 6,000, and there also are a number of independent polygamists loosely affiliated with Allred's group. Santorum is chairman of the GOP conference in the Senate, third in h.is party' s leadership, behind Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee and Assistant Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Gay rights groups and some Democrats have suggested he be removed from the conference post. Speaking at a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Santorum defended his comments and said they were similar to what Justice Byron Wh'ite wrote in the 1986 Supreme Court ruling that consenting adults have no constitutional right to private homosexual sex. "To suggest that .my comments, which are the l<iw of the land and were the reason · the Supreme Court decided the case in 1986, are somehow intolerant, I would just argue that it is not," Santorum said . Man linked to crimes by DNA on cigarette CINCINNATI (AP) Police say DNA from a cigarette has led to the arrest of a man suspected in a series of r,apes and attack~ over the past qecade. , Investigators took DNA from a cigarette the man threw on the ground and used it to link him to the mpes of women ages 63 ro 86, according to court documents detailing a search of the " ,, , man's house. Timothy Ferguson, 43, of Cincinnati, has been charged with rape and aggravated burglary. He was being held Wednesday in the Hamilton County jail on a $500,000 bond. The documents do not say how many women were attacked. Last year, the Hamilton County Coroner's Office crime lab linked a series of rapes. Earlier this month, while canvassing the area where the attacks· occurred. Sgt. Ken Welb; saw Ferguson smoking and picked up the cigarette that Ferguson discarded. On April 16, the crime lab identitied the DNA from the series of mpes as Ferguson's and he was arrested, otftcials said.

They had the option of becoming fre e agents after the Reds designated them for assignment on Saturday, but chose to report to TripleA Louisville. Manzanillo started the season in the bullpen and went 0-2 with a 12.66 ERA in nine appearances. Anderson went 1-2 with an 8.27 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance. · The Reds claimed Anaheim left-haruler Eric Cyr off waivers Wetlnesday and optioned him to Double-A Chattanooga.

So much for that slow start by Greg Maddux and the Atlanta Braves. Pitching with precision again, the four-time Cy Young winner threw seven shutout innings and the streaking Braves beat St. Louis 4-2 on. Wednesday night for their eighth victory in nine games. "You knew the same ol' Doggie would show up at some point," Atlanta outfielder Chipper Jones said. "Doggie has been working his tail off on his mechanics. The way the ball was going over the plate tonight, obviously he's figured it out." Maddux (2-3) got off to a dreadful start this season losing his first three starts for the ftrst time in his career and some began to wonder if the 37-year-old ace was finally nearing the end. But he was back in peak form against the vistting Cardinals, setting down a dangerous lineup with ease in a game that took only 2 hours, 10 minutes. It was classic Maddux, working quickly and throwing one strike after another. He allowed just three hits on 76 pitches, lowering his ERA to 5.94 with his best outing of the season. "'I was ·thinking about pitching instead of thinking about how to throw pitches. That's a step in the right direction," Maddux said. In other NL games, it was: Cincinnati 3, Los Angeles 0; San Diego 2, Chicago 0; Arizona 6, Montreal 2; Florida 5, Milwaukee 4 in 12 innings; San Francisco 4, Pittsburgh 3 in 13 innings; New York 4, Houston 2; and Philadelphia 6, Colorado 4. Marcus Giles and Gary Sheffield hit back-to-hack homers off Matt Morris (1-2) in the first inning for Atlanta. Giles and Sheffield also drove in runs in the eighth against Jeff Fassero to extend the lead to 4-0.

"We've had a lot of things happen to the car this year and he doesn't . seem to get nearly as uptight and rattled by it," car owner Joe Gibbs said. "He 's much more relaxed." Stewart had his share of blowups on his way to winning his first title last season. He punched a photographer, was accused of shoving a fan and an emergency worker, and sought help for controlling his tem.per. As he closed in on the title, his critics openly questioned if he could handle the demands of tieing a champion. So far, so good. Stewart has seemingly mellowed a bit this year and appears to be relishing his reign as champion. "I've enjoyed it," he said. "There has not been anything unpleasant about it by any means. There have not been 'any added demands like everybody speculated. [\'s just been business as usual for us."

AS RACINE - · Parents. teachers , students and staff gath ered to honor academic ·achievement at the Southern Local Academic Awards banquet which was held Thursday night at Southern High SchooL State representative Jimmy Stewart gave the keynote address and told the large crowd that the Ohio House has heard their pleas about financial parity in educational opportunity. While the state budset still has a long way toward passage, Stewart said the house ~ersion of the budget increases parity aid funding to schools by 50 percent for 2004, and another 50 percent in 2005. He said that general aid to schools could increase by nearly 13.9 percent or $500,000 in 2004, and by 4.5 percent the following year. or by near! y $200,000. The senate now determines the fate of the proposed budget. Stewart then talked about the importance of education and stressed to the dozens of honorees how passion can change things. He said that while he was in school pursuing a masters in business administration, he often wondered what he was doing tht!re, and why he was doing it. During long hours of study, Stewart questioned how important it was for him to fini~h the degree, ' . Looking out over the crowd of students in various stages of their academic careers. Stewart said he knew that someday all his hard work and passion would pay off. In time , his education in accounting and tax codes proved invaluable when he was sudden ly appointed city auditor for' Athens. Stewilrt advised student s learn as much as they could about the things they ·are passionate about and that education would guarantee them a better life.

Dick Moore. vice-president for th'e Southern . Ohio Advocates for Recovery (SOAR), and Larry Burnett, executive director for the Southern Consortium for Rural Care. met with commissioners 'to inquire about the future of the multi-story structure on Shawnee Lane, which is s<;heduled to close next month because of the lack of funding needed to keep the home operational. Both Moore and Burnett suggest.ed ·tlhe structure, once empty, co111ld be converted into a temporary shelter for recovering drug addicts. "What were looking for is a residential setting where men can reside for approximately 6-8 months while trying to reco\'er from their drug addictions," said Burnett. "It would be a well-structured, supervised environment where the men could receive critical outpatient counseling , and hopefully, beat their addictions." Burnett assured commissioners that patients staying at the home would come directly from Gallia County. not "criminals" from other locations, and strict admission criteria would be enforced. "What we're talking about here is friends and family from the area who want to get help for their addictions," Burnett said. "We would not allow people to come in from off the street. Our admission standards are tough and would prevent those looking for a 'free ride' from entering into the program." Burnett added that men staying at the shelter will be required to adhere to the program's schedule, attend all meetings, and, n1ost importantly, work for their keep. " All patients at the shelter will be required to work at one job or. another. They will be asked to contribute a por·tion of their income towards payment of their room and board," said Burnett. Through financial contributions of the men living at Eastern High School prom candidates prepare for the prom Saturday in the high schOol gymnasium. This year's theme is "Garden of Dreams" and 1]11~ prom colors are dark green , silver and black.
