The decision by Sen. Kevin Coughlin on Tuesday likely ends the chance of voters deciding whether to allow the slots in Ohio racetracks in the Nov. 4 election.

He said the Senate is commined to legislation this fall if the talks break down. '"There's a process in place. We're going to deal. with prescription drugs one way or the other this fall and I think the preference is to just -let that process work," Coughlin said. The•House put a proposal in the $48.8 billion budget bill that would have authorized voters in a constitutional wnendment to choose between the slots and paying a pennyper-dollar sales tax increase for the second year of the, budget period that begins July I.

Officials in this Butler County city about 23 miles north of Cincinnati disclosed earlier this month that city finances have been mismanaged for years. City Councilman Steven Tannreuther said prior to a public forum Tuesday night on the budget crisis that it was the council's responsibility to keep track of municipal tinances even if council members received inaccurate or limited information from city staff. Tannreuther said spending problems should have been caught as far back as 1999. City manager Donald Whitman. hired in 1998, and four-y ear financial director David Collins resigned in February. Manager Acting City William Brock and Acting Finance Director Jay Stewan warned Tuesday night that the city would face a $1.2 mill ion deficit between revenues and expenditures in the 2004 budget under current revenue projections. Council members are trying to decide whether to ask voters to approve a 9.51-mi II propeny tax or a 1.5 percent income tax to offset the deficit. Several · residents who attended the public forum were critical of the way municipal finances have been handled. .

A big. pan of the difference rna~ be the months-long series of negotiatiOns that followed the Legtslature's failure to address the workers' comp issue at its regular session earlier this year. What emerged from those negotiations was a draft bill that became the centerpiece of the special session recently that ended with -Its approval. Unforrunately, lawmakers left Charleston without agreeing how best to repair the state's economic development grant program after a state Supreme Coun ruling brought the program to a halt. The HOIISe of Delegates and the state Senate each have their own ideas about how best to revamp the program, and will try again June 30 when the special session reconvenes. . Between now and then, we urge the governor and.lhe legislative leadership to bring to discussions of the grant program the same sense of urgency they showed in their workers' comp negotiations. The grant program - vitally important to Huntington and other . state communities - already has been delayed too long. Legislative leaders need to get the granL' back on track. 'Speak Out!' (740) 992-2156 extension 29 Moderately Confused .\ and a half, Davis turned a record $12 billion state budget surplus into a record · $34.8 billion deficit. He insists that it was not his fault, that the state economy simply went bust . But the fact is that. under his watch, state spending .has increased a whopping 36 percent - exceeding inflation and far outpac ing California's population growth rate. Had the governor resisted the urge to spend and buy off special imerests, such as California's powerful teachers' union, the state would not be facing the mother of all budget crises. California would not be borrowing billion~ of dollars and havitlg i.ts bond rating downgraded 'to one of the nation 's lowest. The state's taxpayers would not -be facing the prospect of surrende(, ing even more of their paychecks to Sacramento to close the budget gap that Davis and the spendthrift legislature created. Davis' mismanagement bf the state· s budget is matched only by his mishandling of the. state's recent electricity cmts. He has often rem inded us that he did not cause the crisis. but his failure to lead when the crisis first reared itself cost California bu sinesses and residents (according to state offi cials) tens of billions of dollars in higher electricity prices,. Indeed. Davis got an early warning of looming trouble in the electricity market in the form of .sharply ri si ng wholesale power costs, as the Sacramento Bee\ Dan Walters rccoumed thi ' P'"' spnng. . "California utility execu · tives begged Davis and s,tate utility regulators to ·allow them to raise rates and si~n long-term supply contract~." according to Walters. but they "delaved for six critical mon ths, until the utilities hall their financial backs to the wall." Had Davis been a real leader, had he gotten the state's utility regulators to act sooner, Cali fornia taxpayers wouldn't have been stuck with more than $40 billion worth of hi ghly unfavorable long-term con(rac" , with energy generators. And residents wouldn' t be facing one of the nation\ highest utility rates. Opponem> of the .

It was e~plained that the plan provides for a student who fails one of the core classes (reading, spelling, writing, math, scienoe, or social studies) to be promoted to the next glale level. However, the.student would be required to take the class over using a study hall or arts period as well as to continue with the regular ctJrriculum for the cwrent grade level. If a student fails two classes, e~cluding ans and band, then the student would be retained in the same gt<de. At the end of the eighth gt<de, if a student is unsucces.sful at passing a core subject. then summer intervention would be required before the student could <dvance into the ninth g r a d e . The administralors said the proposed changes :w-ould make the school as well as the students more accountable and assure that all core subject area.~ are sucCe<;sfully completed before astudent gets to high school.

The blaze burned through 700 acres of brush along the river, causing a power outage that left 16,000 homes and businesses in the dark. Interstate 40, which crosses the river, was shut down for several hours. · "We are pretty sure it was caused by fireworks," Albuquerque Fire Chief Roben · Ortega said Wednesday. Most of the evacuees were allowed to return Tuesday night. Onega said. A ho'use under construction was destroyed and another home was damaged. The wildfire was · one of many burning in Arizona and New Mexico. Firefighters in both states were hampered by hot, windy weather. low humidity and dry vegetation. Firefighters were still mopping up spot fires in the Albuquerque area Wednesday. Ortega said. Fire Depanment Lt. Lynn ~eule said 50 firefighters were ai the scene Wednesday morning, down from a peak of 140 Tuesday. The tire burned along the west side of the Rio Grande. then jumped the river, at one point threatening an area of high-priced homes about two miles from · downtown Albuquerque. Among those evacuated were the wife and children of Mayor Ma.nin Chavez. "You can see the tlying embers, it's scary/' said Liz Lardizabal. whose home is on the west side. "The whole street 111 front of our house i' solid with tire trucks." Lt. Gov. Diane Denish announced the state .of emergency from the fire command center in Albuquerque. Gov. Bill Richardson and Chavez returned Tuesday from a visit to Mexico. Meanwhile.

Rio Grande signed versatile Wellston catcher Andy Parsons to a grant-in-aid scholarship. Parsons is the only student-athlete in the Wellston High School history to be a member of five Tri-Valley Conference championship teams encompassing baseball, football and basketball. He was a key ingredient to the success of the Golden Rocket program in 2003 that won 19 games in a row and advanced to the district finals before succumbing to · Federal Hocking. Parsons liked what he had seen and heard about the Rio baseball program and decided that he wanted to be a part of it. "I just heard good things about it," said Parsons. "Obviously location (was a factor in the selection), it's · real close to home and I would get to play a lot and as coach said have a good chance at making t~e team." The newest Redmen recruit said he can play anywhere on the diamond except the outfield, but catcher is his best position. ·That will be the spot he will ·play with the Redmen according to Wamimont. "Andy is a very good receiver," Warnimont ' said. "That was one of the areas that we wanted to bolster. . "As a club we had a very sound pitching staff, a very young staff and we did some good things on the mound this year, but the catching position, both offensively and defensively had a lot of question marks last season," Wamimont added. Griffin to head OSU alumni association COLUMBUS (AP) . Archie Griffin, the only twotime Heisman Trophy winner, was appointed president of Ohio State's alumni asso. ciation on Tuesday. Griffin had been an associ- . ate athletic di'rector at his alma mater. He will leave that position and take over the association on Jan. I, association spokeswoman Linda Crossley said. He will replace Dan Heinlen, who is retiring Dec. 31 after 30 .years in ,charge of the organization. "What attra<;ted me to the position wa~ my passion for Ohio State," Grjffin said. Griffin won the Heisman in 1974 and 1975 and owns the Ohio State record for rushing yards with 5,589. The Buckeyes won the Big Ten Conference title in each of his four seasons (197275). He played eight seasons in the NFL for the Cincinnati Bengals before joining the Ohio State athletic department in 1985.· The university's alumni association is a dues-supported organization with more than 123,000 members.

(AP) Dill deals Meigs 5-3 victory BY BUTCH COOPER . Staff writer . ROCK SPRINGS - Doug Dill struggled early behind the plate, but he more than made up for it in the batter's box.

In the first, Dill lost control of a third strike on Josh Beebe and later Beebe scored Marietta's first run of the game on a passed ball. That would soon be for~otten after Dill's offensive performance later .m the game. With the game tied at 3-all in the bottom of the sixth, Marietta starting pitcher Dale Chidester struck out the first two Meigs batters he faced. Eric Cullums and Josh Napper each singled, setting up a go-ahead, two-run double by Dill to give Meigs a 5-3 lead . Cullums was 2-for-4, while Napper was 2for-3.

On the other side of the ball, Marietta had chances in each of the final three innings of play to cut into the Meigs lead . In the seventh, Beebe had advanced to third base before Zack Welch flew out to right field to end the inning. · Zack Welch was 3-for-5 for Marietta, while Ryan Eschbaugh was 2-for-3.

His dancing picked up speed, and his interaction with the photo editor became more and more demonstrative as he was egged on "I taught h1m everyth111g he knows," said h1s gleeful mother, Gloria, as James bounced like a pinball around a Manhattan photo studio filled with agents, publicists. friends, family members and a few assorted onlookersone of whom, the 11-year-old son of a GQ editor, got to play a httle one-on-one defense against James as he dribbled a basketball playfully between his legs and the boy's. There wouldn't be so much hype surrounding James if there weren't something extraordinary to back it up, and James has that one rare quality that separates the Michael Jordans and Magic Johnsons from the Tim Duncans of the basketball world. It's called charisma, the special charm or allure that inspires fascination and captures the popular imagination. In James' case, the charisma is unmistak· able "Just being me, my personality. ts part of charisma," James said. "I just thmk I can be myself and people wrll rate me how they want to rate me, and I'm glad people sa)' that. I think that can carry ;.ou a long way.'

Draft Eeat W L 25 49 43 3A 39 34 39 39 33 41 Central the spotlight After the game during his freshman year when he first played m front of a TV camera, James challenged himself to overcome his fear. "I knew it was going to keep commg tf I kept doing the things I was doing and playing the game of basketball real well, and I had to prepare myself on and off the coun," James satd. He won thai 111ner bailie, and the accomplishments piled up over the next three years: three state championships, MVP of the McDonald's All-America game. an unprecedented $90 m1lhon sneaker contract, a $500,000 wnstwatch that he wore throughout hts photo shoot James is about to enter the NBA as the most hyped American rookie of a generation, trying to find a balance between humility and fame while also attempting to reverse the fortunes of a franchtse that hasn ' t been on a national telecast s111ce the 1998 playoffs. "Fame is really nothmg new to me because I've been selling out gyms smce the end of my freshman year and seeing cameras all over the place," James satd "Everythmg that's gain~ on now is nothing new to me I'm used to it.' James arrived 111 Manhattan on Monday and traveled to Harlem that night to watch New Yqrk high school phenom Sebastian Telfair play at the famous Rucker playground. "He got mobbed," agent Aaron Goodwin sa1d "The NBA called and sa1d don't send him out like that agam without security" James has set astde four hours for a s•ghlseemg tour Wednesday, and Thurs<jay mght will be the big moment as James steps onstage and shakes the hand of commissiOner David Stem after being announced as the No. I pick. James promised to make a fashion state· ment with his draft night suit, though he declined to give a hint of whether it would be something worthy of GQ, or something even more special - much like James himself. "It's pink," he JOked before exiting the photo studio to hve out the final 4& hours of his pre-NBA life, leaving the clear tmpression that there has never been an 18-year-old quite so ready to jump headflfst into the next level of superstardom. "I'm here because God put me into this position to a!tf3Ct other people and interact with other people," James sa1d. "So I'm glad it's a part of my life." • Colorado 67 Sheff1eld, Atlanta 63 Furcal Anania 62 Payton Colorado 53 Berkman Houston 5 1 Bonds San Franc1sco 51 RBI-PrWJison, Colorado 67 Pu]ols St Lows 66 Lowell Florida 61 Helton Colorado 61 Shelt1eld Atlanta 6 1 Kearns Cmc'mnatt 57 , AJones Atlanta , 53 HITS-PuJOis St Louts 103 Rentena St Louis 98 Helton Colorado 97 , Pterre, Flonda 94 PrWJISOn CoiOfado 94 Furcal Atlanta 92 OCabrera Montreal 89 LCast1110 FlorfCla 89 Shetlteld Atlanta 89 OOUBLES- PUJOIS St LOUIS 27 Helton Colorado 26 PrWtls on Colorado 25 LGonzelez Anzona 25 MG tles.

It's unfair to the child - and lets the biological father off the hook. DEAR ABBY: I am a 19year-old girl and have a problem with my parents . When I was younger. I could talk to them about anything and everything . They respected my decisions and supported me whenever they ,could until I reached junior high. At that time. I noticed that I liked girls more than , boys. When I told my mom and dad, they dismissed it and said it was just a phase. It wasn' t. I secretly dated one girl in ninth grade to fmd out if that's where my feelings were headed. Then I "came out" to my friends. They were cool about it and supported me 100 percent. I didn' t have the guts to tell my folks until I was in the I Oth grade. They exploded. Mom cried for hours; Dad kicked me out fo r a week. My parents have had' no trust whatsoever in me ever since. We don't talk like we used to - and whenever the subject of my sexual orientation comes up, my parents call me a slut, among other things. I' ve moved out three times, but I always go bac k because I don' t have enough money to make it on my own. r m now dating a wonderful young woman and it' s getting serious. I don't dare tell my parents because r m afraid of their reaction . Please help, Abby. I need your advice .

However. he should not declare paternity for a child Wednesday, June 25, 2003 _ RACINE - The Fmance Aanning ~ Coounissioo that is overseeing the financial recovery of the Southern School District flexed its muscles this week when it unanimously voted to e~minate a full-time position in the treasurer's office, which officials say will save the district approximately $21 ,000. · Treasurer Pam Carter, who was the assistant treasurer but replaced Dennie Hill when he retired as treasurer in June, said the position, titled assistant to the treasurer, was created two t years ago to give the treasurer more time to work with the superintendent to prepare a financial recovery plan for the district which has an $875,000 debt. The treasurer would also have more time to work with the state's accountants who are constantly monitoring ihe district's.financial activity. , The treasurer's office handles a budget of more than $8 million with at least 130 employees on the payroll. Debbie Michael is currently employed in this position and will be promoted 10 Carter's former full-time position as assistant treasurer later this year. Superintendent Bob Grueser made an impassioned plea to the board to consider how important the position is to the school district. While this posi' tion has many duties which directly benefit the school district. the person in this position ' is mainly responsible for completing the employee's payroll each pay period. Similar sized school districts, like Eastern Local or Trimble Local, have a treasurer and two full-time assistants working for the district. Trying to work within a tight budget, Grueser proposed making the job a pm1-time position Please see Southem, AS POMEROY - Meigs County Auditor Nancy Parker Campbell said Wednesday local government may benefit from an increase in the state sales ,tax, but local vendors will receive no assistance in making the conversion. The state is urging local retailers to begin re-programming cash registers and computer systems in order to comply with the state's new sixpercent tax rate that becomes effective July I. The new rate was approved last week as a part of the state's new budget bill. ~'The state, however, will not pay to updale these systems," Campbell said. Meigs County shoppers will now pay a total of seven percent in sales tax, when the county's one percent tax is added 10 the state's new sixpercent rate. ' Campbell said none of the proceeds' from the tax hike will directly benefit local government, but may indirectly , provide relief in the form of local government revenue, which has been frozen as a part of the state's cost-cutting campaign. "I think some of the proceeds of the state sales taX increase will come to local government in the form of local government assistance revenue, which has . been frozen and which the state has considered cutting further," Campbell said. The additional sales tax is expected to raise $1.21 billion · in the next fiscal year, and $ 1.3 billion in Fiscal Year 2005. . The tax will now apply to services which were previously tax-exempt. including storage facility rental, personal care. such as manicures, tan· ning and tanooing, satellite broadcasting. dry cleaning and laundry, deliver charges in connection with the sale of personal property, and taxi and limousine services.
