Still expected to open is fiesta Hair "salon, another video outlet, and another Chinese restaurant. Gino's anticipates a move from. its present location into the new shopping area just below Wal-Mart. Mason Mayor Raymond Cundlft The major accomplishment in all of this? Ninety to ninety-five percent of the new businesses already open, and those about to open in the area are locally owned and operated, said Cundiff. The city is looking to expand its borders on both the upper and lower ends, hoping to take advantage of new tax revenue from 'businesses moving into the area. While Shoe Show is already open for business, the owners are waiting to celebrate an official grand opening with the rest of their neighbors in the shopping center once the building is filled, Cundiff said.

Council held the final reading on an ordinance which increases water rates by 8 cents per month, based on minimum usage, and sewer rates of 24 cents. The increases are part of an ongoing step increase program suggested by the Board of Public Affairs to help maintain the village's sewerage and water infrastructure, and to provide local funds necessary to finance improvements to the systems. All work on Middleport's million-dollar sewer lift station project has been completed, and work has begun on testing drinking water samples at a pos1ible new well field. . Becky Hays of Floyd Browne Associates, the village's engineering firm, spoke to council about the status of the village's new projects. Hays said a punch list of final work on the lift station project was completed recently, bringing the project to a close. The project involved the construction of two new lift stations at Art Lewis and Laurel streets and General Hartinger Parkway and the repair of lift 'stations at Park and Pearl streets and Mill Street and South Second Avenue, on the "T." They are designed to eliminate the discharge of raw sewage into the Ohio River and the indirect discharge of sewage into the river through the village's combined storm and sanitary sewer system.

Deaths Permit ordinance before Supreme Court tutional right of speakers to express informarion and the constitutional right of residents to receive it if they so choose;' lawyers for the church wrote in a court filing. Mormons, Independent Baptist Churches of America, Gun Owners of America and the American Civil Liberties Union are among more than a dozen organizations that signed friend-of-thecourt briefs supporting the church. The National League of Cities and other municipal representatives back Stratton. The Supreme Court is expected to rule by July on the church's appeal of a federal court ruling that upheld the permit rules as evenhanded. The court already has held that the Constitution gives people the right to distribute anonymow campaign literature, and a ruling for the church in this case would extend that right to anonymous door-to-door soliciting for any cause. . Stratton's ordinance requires that per-: mits be obtained in advance before any- : one can solicit at a private home. It : applies to commercial salesmen, school groups selling candy bars or political candidates eager to shake hands. The solicitor must carry the permit for display to any .: resident who asks. \ : Attorneys for the Jehovah's Witnesses : said the town of roughly 300 people about 170 miles northeast of Columbus passed the ordinance in 1998 to keep away members of the fai!h from a church in a neighboring town. Stratton's mayor · then told a group of Jehovah's Witnesses· they were not permitted in the town, and' people had moved to Stratton to get away from them, the iawyers said.

The state's largest bus drivers' union says the proposed legislation in the GOP-controlled Senate endangers children because public drivers are better trained. Private companies dispute that. Local or exempted village school boards currendy are allowed ·to hire private companies only through contract negotiations with unions. The bill, sponsored by Senate Education Chairman Bob Gardner, would remove that provision but .would require companies to honor existing labor contracts and hire current drivers. .The bill would affect about 420 sc hool districts. C urrent law already allows Ohio's approximately 190 city districts to hire private companies without negotiating with unions. Gardner said hiring private bos companies is not right for all districts. But it could be helpful to small school sj stems where superintenderit!

Dear Abby I Destruction of chemical weapon depot should be a priority • The Indianapolis Star, on chemical weapons depots: The Army needs to stop "exploring options" and commit now to speeding up the destruction of the deadlyVX nerve agent stockpiled at Newport in western Indiana. Otherwise, it is inviting disaster. ... Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., met with Assistant Secretary of the Army Mario Fiori and came away optimistic the Defense Department would implement a plan to destroy the agent by 2003, instead of the previous target date of 2006. Later in the day, an Army spokeswoman said any announcement was premature. . ·· Since the Sept. 11 attacks, a no-fly zone has been in place over the Newport Chemical Depot, where 1,269 tons ofVX are stored. Until every drop of the oily substance is eliminated, the facility will be a tempting target for terrorists bent on mass destruction. The Army has been considering ways to destroy the agent since 1984. Newport was one of a half-dozen facilities that produced chemical agents stockpiled for det~rrence during the Cold War. One drop on the skin or one whiff of the gas can kill within minutes. There's enough VX at Newport to wipe out the, human race. Getting rid of it should be an urgent ho~eland defense priority.

On the other hand, his State of the Union message contained elements echoing his predecessors. For instance, Bush came to office disparaging Bill Clinton's idea of nation building - "international social work;' some aides called it - and yet, this issue has become a major feature of his agenda. Not only did Bush promise to rebuild Mghanistin, he expansively declared - in idealistic terms akin to Woodrow Wilson's -that "we have a great opportunity during this time of war to lead the world toward the values that will bring lasting and Iraq, but he said that "these regimes pose grave and growing danger:· implying that the world will not be safe as long , as the regimes are in power. And he added that dealing with such nations is urgent business. "I will not wait on events while dangers gather;' he said. "The United States will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." COLUMNIST The president called for the biggest l;lefense increases in two decades, a douexpansive vision.

WASHINGTON TODAY .. ·•• ·· ':"' Sputte~ng economy takes stage in gubernatorial races ..••• ••• ,.:. -. • :. :;~ : ' • : BY WILL I...EsTEA WASHINGTON - The struggling economy has become the central issue in governor's races across the country and is complicating tough re-election battles in states like Alabama, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and California. While new reports say the national economy may rebound in coming months that may not come soon enough to bail out ~ome state budgets this election year. "It's much harder to run in tough economic times," said Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, a Democrat who helps recruit candidates for his party. "People are worried about their jobs, it's hard to do anything. A national recession is pretty tough for a state governor to ove~come ." In Wisconsin and Massachusetts, two Republican former lieutenant governors have their hands full after moving up to the top jobs when governors in those states were appointed to new posts. Wisconsin Gov. Scott McCallum is . fending off a crowded field of opponents and the state's severe financial problems at the same time. Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swifi has been forced to cut programs from aid ~o hospitals to expanded kindergarten programs and will face a tough election challenge in a traditionally Democratic-leaning state. Democrats are watching closely to•see if financial troubles in Florida could cause problems for Republican Gov.Jeb Bush, though it's not clear that1would give Democrats an openmg. For the Democrats, A)abama Gov. Don . Siegelman is about even in the poDs against potential Republican challengers at the same time his state's revenues have been dropping, plants closing and people losing jobs. California Gov. Gray Davis dealt with the state's energy shortages, only to see his state hit by economic woes., Republicans also have an eye on South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges, though he.is seen as less vulnerable than other top GOP targets. "The economy is a central concern · that's out there in most of our states," said Colorado Gov. Bill Owens, vice chair of the Republican Governors' Association. "The impact on governors races will be variable, depending on the governor. In some cases, the electorate will be willing to understand that it's part of a national slowdown." That voter understanding is less likely for a Republican in a Democratic-leaning state like Massachusetts or a Democrat in a Republicancleaning state like Alabama. "The key is being able to come in and close budget deficits the best you can," said Clinton Key, executive director of the R epublican Governo..S' A<sodation . "The decisions you make are critical to your ability to get re-elected. Voters look for fairness." To a lesser dcgre~. economic problems can spill over to a non-incumbent following a governor frOm the same party. In Virginia, economic woes o.f Republican Gov. Jim Gilmore helped derail the 2001 gubernatorial campaign of another Republican, Mark Earley. Republicans could fate the tougher I' • ' challenge since they are defending more governors' seats this year, but many of the GOP incumbents are in states with a strong Republican base. Republican governors oumumber Democrats 27 to 21, with Maine Gov. Angus King an independent and Minnesota Gov: Jesse Veritura, a member of the Independence Party. 1\venty-three of the 36 seats up for election are currently held by Republicans with a dozen GOP incumbents up for re-election and another 11 GOP seats open. Economic analysts have suggested the recession may be wrapping up and the economy may rebound. But that may not come early enough to change budget decisions being made right now, said B.J. Thornbercy, executive director of the Democratic Governors' Association. "I don't know if we'D understand the full impact until these budget decisions are made;• she said. "They'll be made on current revenue estimates." Challengers have it easier because "they don't have to put a budget together;• said Robert Behn, director of the Governors Center at Duke University. But he said the public can understand a state's budget problems when properly explained. "If you're not a complete klutz at explaining the realities of the budget, you can explain that people have to live within their means," Behn said. "In general, the public understands . this better than we give them credit for." j. •) •' : ·, :: :'~ : .: : ;: . ·•' . .. • • .... · ·: · · :. ·: · · · REIGNING ROYALTY- Overbrook Center celebrated Valentine's Day with a party and crowning of ·a king and queen.

The home court is a mammoth advantage for teams in the final week. Ohio State proved that Saturday night after being on the road for three weeks and losing three of four games. "It felt good to get a win here at home," said Brian Brown, who led the Buckeyes with 18 points against the Boilermakers. "We haven't been home for a long time and came out a little sluggish but then we picked it up." The biggest reason they picked it up was swingman Bohan Savovic, who was coming off one of the worst games of his career. The senior had managed just seven points, three turnovers and no assists in 31 minutes in Wednesday night's 63-57 loss at Indiana. He bounced back with 13 points, two assists and no turnovers in the first half alone against Purdue. Savovic had seven points in a 15- 4 run to close out the half that gave Ohio State the lead for good. The lead "Against Indiana, I l)"ied to do too much. I made too many mistakes," Savovic said.

With those words, Ri~1 and Junior WP!te of Cheshire, along with Ralph Cooke of letart, W.Va.,jump into a medley of big band tu es as a large crowd of senior citizens at the Meigs Senior Center begin to · clap their hands and move about on the dance floor. Rita and Junior White, keyboard and vocals respectively, have been entertaining area seniors for over a decade with numerous free concerts that highlight their special brand of "ballroom" music; a genre that seniors find dif- 9 ficult to locate among radio's constant barra!)e of rap, pop and heavy metal. '' We like to play a large variety of music," said Rita, as she sa t down in front of her keypoard. "The crowd favorites are usually big band music, waltzes and polkas, stuff you really . don't hear on the radio too often." "It's especially nice to be able to present it in a live format," she added . "You can see the spark in their eyes as they clap along or gei up and dance;' said Junior, who used to play bass in the group, but now focuses solely on vocals after having a stroke. "It's the music they lived through and I'm sure it brings back a lot of good memories for them," he added. Rounding out the musical group is violin player Ralph Cooke. who brought his unique style of playing to the band over a year ago. RACINE - Southern Local Board of Education agreed to transfer ownership of Portland Element.1ry to the Meigs County commissioners during its regular meeting on Monday. The school, which was closed last summer; along with Letart Falls Elementary, Syracuse Element:1ry and Southern· Junior High School, following the opening of the new consolidated elementary school building in Racine. will officially become the property of th e county once commissioners approve th e deal during their regular meeting on Thursday. The agreement between the two enti ties sttpufates that if the building or property is sold within a 75-year time period, the Southern Local School District will .receive proceeds based on the appraised valLie at the time of the contract signing. . The contract also specifies that should Southern Local cease co exist during this period of time, then the terms of the agreement pertaining to the sale of the property will become null and void and the commissioners will retain full ownership free and clear. Once transferred, the commission ers are expected to turn both the building and property over to the Portland Community Center Inc. for development. · Despite numerous t.1lks with Syracuse officials over ·the (ate of the Syracuse Elementary School building, the board agreed to proceed with their plans to auction the property off. The same 75-year deal was extended to the village, however, members of Syracuse Village Council rejected the . board's offer because of the. time1imitations stipulated in t~e ' contract.
