"We harbor no • illusions about
McKnight," the statement said. "He is
evil, the very embodiment of.evil. Bu!
it is vitally important to us. Emily's
family, to bear witness to her beliefs
just as we bore witness to her life during the trial."
·
The case received national attention
when Simmons ruled in August that
prosecutors could not seek the deatli
penalty because the county might nQt
be able to afford to mount a proper
prosecution and pay for McKnight's
defense. He later changed his mind.
Defense attorney Robert Toy said
McKnight's conviction will be
appealed based on the argument that
the court did not have the authority tg
reinstate the death penalty option after
Simmons • ruling that prosecutors
could not seek the sentence.

First Lady
visits
Dayton
DAYTON (AP)
Interest has surged in a
federal program designed
to lure soldiers from the
battlefield to the teaching
field after they retire
since first lady Laura
Bush began promoting it.
And Mrs. Bush was
scheduled to stop at
Wright-Patterson
Air
Force Base on Wednesday
. to give the program
another boost with a
speech at a base hangar.
Mrs. Bush has promoted the Troops to Teachers
program to
soldiers
around the· country. She's
made stop~ at Chicago's
Navy Pier, along the
waterfront in San Diego,
and at Fort Jackson. an ·
Army base in South
Carolina.
The program offers
stipends or bonuses to
former members of the
military who agree to
teach for at least three
·years.
The ·Defense
Department program has
placed more than 4,000
' teachers nationwide since
1994.
President Bush, who
· embraced the idea in his
campaign, approved $18
million early this year for
the program, which had
operated mainly as a
referral service after · its
federal funding was cut in
1Q96.
With new money for
stipe.nds and bonuses, the
program expects about
1,,000 participants this
year; program director
JQ)ln Gantz has said. And
he saiil applications liave
increased since Mrs. Bush
began touring bases to
promote the idea.
A former librarian, Mrs.
Bush has ofien pr-omoted
teacher recruitment and
child literacy.

Investigators say . lat~st
sniper attacks yield new dues
FALLS CHURCH. Va.
(A P) - The Washi ngtonarea sniper's latest slaying ·
has yielded the most
detailed clues yet in the
search for the elusive killer:
informiuion about license
plates and the description of
a man ln a white van se~ n
fleeing the attack.
ln another dev.elopment,
the Pentagon has agreed to
provide aerial surveillance
'in the hunt for a sniper who
has
terrorized
the
Washington, D.C, sub1,1rbs
for the past two weeks,
killing nine. and injuring
two. .
The new clues surfaced in
the Monday night slaying of
FBI
employee
Linda
Franklin after she and her
husband loaded their purchases from a Home Depot
into their car.
For the first time, witnesses were able to give information about license plates
on vehicles they said were
fleeing the scene. Some
described a light-colored
•Chevrolet Astro van with a
burned-out rear taillight.
At least one witness saw a
male sniper aim and fire,
then flee · in a van, The
Washington Post reported
Wednesday. .The newspaper
cited
anonymous
law

enforcement sources.
"There was some additiona! information that we
were able 1o get from
(Monday) night's case. and
I am confident that that
information is going to lead
us to an arrest in the case.''
Fairfax County Pol'ice Chief
Tom Manger ~aid ,
Robert
Young,
a
Washington construction
worker. was among witne sses who returned to the shopping .center Tuesday to talk
with police. He said he had
heard a muffled gunshot and
seen a white van Monday
night.
Young said as he backed
hi s truck out of his parking
spot, a white Astro van with
two men in si de tried to turn
into hi s lane. He said the
driver appeared very agitated to find his way blocked
and instead drove by a
nei ghboring restaurant and
out of sight.
Young described the drivera's a short man of slight
build who appeared to be
Middle Eastern. "I got a
good look at the guy," he
said.
The driver "seemed to be
excessively
irritated
because he couldn't pull
into my lane," he said. "I
thought this fool_was going

to want to get out of the van
and duke or something . But
he didn't. He kept on
going:"
Law enforcement
sources told The Associated
Press there was no indication 'the sniper targeted

job with the FBI's CyberCrimes Division. created
last year .to focus on computer crimes as well as
intellectual property cases .
In
Maryland ,
Montgomery County Police
Chief Charles Moose. the
head of the investigation,
emphasized that Franklin
was not working on the
smper case.
With the terrifying spree
two weeks old, Defense
Secretary
Donald
H.
Rumsfeld agreed Tuesday
evening to provide military
surveillance aircraft in the
hunt for the killer, a
Pentagon spokesman said.
Sources said federal agents
on the plane will relay any
information they collect to
authorities on the ground .
The Army also has started
searching its records for
people wit~ sniper training.
Homeland

·Director Tom Ridge said
investigators are hesitant to
rule out the possibility that

the slayings are the work of
a terrorist because th ere is
no hard . evidence aboUt

Each of the victims was ·
cut down with a sin gle bul·

: DEAR ABBY: I an137 and
my husband, "Bernie," is 41.
We have been manied for 15
years. Our children are 2 and
4. Between our work and caring for the kids, Bernie and I
have lost the ability to enjoy
each o\her' s company.
" In tl\e past, I . considered
Bernie my best friend, Now
he's no longer able to .laugh
or lighten up. For instance,
when we occasionally hire a
baby sitter and go out for dinner, all he'll talk about is how
much the dinner costs and his
~plan" for' when we return
home. He'll say, "I will pay
the sitter; then we'll get the
children ready for bed. While
I get their pajamas, you start
the bath water ..." He goes on
and on- as if we don't do
these same things every night
of the week! I told Bernie he
acts like I am a maid he just
hired, but he. seems compelled to repeat our . routine
, regardless.
· Bernie gives me no longing
looks or loving smiles. I wear
attractive clothes, offer to pay
for dinner and tell funny stories. Nothing I do puts him in
a good mood, He seems to be
happy only when he's with
his · go!fing buddies. Ifu;
excuse ts, "You're a mo~r
now." Please help me. My
self-esteem couldn't be
lower. - LONGING TO
SHARE HAPPINESS
DEAR LONGING: Your
husband may have an obsessive-compulsive disorder·that
would explain why he repeats
the ritual of putting the children to bed. Medication has
proven to be helpful for it, if a
person is wilhng to admit
. !he~ is a problem and discuss
tt wtth a doctor.
·
· His loss of interest in you
"because you are a mother"
and his retreat to the golf
course are problems that can
be resolved only through psychotherapy for him aitd marriage counseling for the both
of you. Please don't wait to
ask your doctor for a referral.
If Bernie refuses to go, go
without him. This is not your
fault, so please don't blame
yourself. Your . husband
appears to have more baggage than a carousel at

Still, when · the executive . producer of the 81 -year-old
pageant is salivating over an anticipated ratings boost because
of a scandal that left Miss North Carolina stripped of her tiara,
hypocrite is one of the more polite; terms that come to mind.
This is the same org~nization that took the Miss America
title away from Vanessa Williams because of compromising
photographs that emerged after .she won the competition in
1983.
Rebekah Revels fared no better this year. After she was
crowned Miss North Carolina this summer, a vindictive exboyfriend told. pageant officials that he had topless photographs of her. Ms. Revels said that pageant officials forced
her to resign. ... .
·
Of course, the pageant is free to demand that its contestants
behave like they are bound for the novitiate - or at. least to
leave no photographic evidence of their lapses. But when it
comes to bad taste, comments made by Bill Bain, executive
producer of the telecast, rival anything Ms. Revels did.
Mr. Bain said that he expects to see a boost in ratings
because of the flap and said that pageant officials had hoped
that ·the ensuing court battle -wherein Ms. Revels sued to
get her crown back - would drag out a little longer.
A federal court sided with the pageant on Sept. 12, agreeing
that Misty Clymer would be the sole contestant. wearing a
Miss North Carolina sash in the recent televised competition.
A last-minute ruling would have drawn more interest, Mr.
Bain said.
So would a televised mud-wrestling bout between the rivals
for the tiara. But presumably Miss America wouldn't stoop to
anything that crass.
Thi s is a scholarship program, remember?

Don'.t you just hate that word "obese."
Overweight sounds so much better.
The other day as I waited in a checkout line looking at one of the store's
magazines, I read where one-third of.all
adults - 59 million Americans - are
obese.
A woman 5 foot.6 weighing over 155
pounds was listed in the obese column.
And I always that was just pleasingly
plump.
I looked at the shapely youn~ women
in front of me and the skinny httle man
behind me and thought, "It's not them
so it must be me. I'm one of those 59
million Americans, the one in three I
just read about."
I looked in my cart filled with all
sorts of good stuff. Then I .asked the
skinny little man behind me to let me
out of the checkout line, and I unloaded·
all those goodies that I was about to take
home for snacktime.
The good part was I got oui of that

Like anti-smoking activists in three other
states, Larsen's coalition tried a previously
uncommon· strategy this year - launching a
petition driv·e to put a tobacco-related proposal
on the Nov. 5 ballot. In each state, activists
hope voters will endorse steps that lawmakers
declined to take.
Larsen is chairman of the campaign supporting Amendment 6, which wo_uld b~n smoking
in virtually all workplaces, mcludmg restaurants. His coalition collected more than a halfmillion signatures to make the ballot; a recent
poll showed the measure with 2-to- I support.
In three other states, anti-smoking activists
collected enough signatures to put items on the
ballot to provide more money for smoking prevention and health care.
Measures in Montana and Michigan would
require the states to spend a larger ·share of
their tobacco sett.lement money on health and
anti-smoking programs. A measure in Missouri
would accomplish this by quadrupling the cig"
arette tax from 17 cents to 72 cents per pack.
Arizona also has a ballot item that would
raise the cigarette tax - from 58 cents to·$1.18
per pack. But it was placed on the ballot by the

Legislature, not through a citizen-led petition
drive.
Officials of national anti-smokirg groups are
heartened by the success of the four petition
drives, particularly the one in Florida.
"It became necessary to go to the voters
because the tobacco industry ·has such a powerful control over the Legislature," said
·Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for
Tobacco-Fr~ Kids. "This is the only way to
provide the'titizens of Florida with the opportunity to have a say.'' .
Amendment 6 would outlaw smoking in
restaurants- except for outdoor seating areas
,- and in enclosed workplaces, including
employee break rooms. Exceptions are made
for stand-alone bars, designated guest rooms in
hotels, and home businesses that do not provide child care or health care.
State law now limits smokihg in public
places to designated smoking areas. Public
places include government buildings, stores,
restaurants, theaters and workplaces.
Restaurants have the option of designating
up to 35 percent of their dining area as a smoking area; critics say that poli,cy fails to protect
employees from secondhand smoke.
· A,survey .by Larsen's coalition, the SmokeFree for Health Initiative, (ound that 70,000
Florida businesses allow smoking somewhere
on their premises and 12,000 restaurants allow
smoking.

RACINE - Meigs' journey into
the history books took a sharp detour
and sudden halt Tuesday, as the
Maraude~ volleyball squad fell for
the first time in the 2002 season,
falling at rival county rival Southern,
15~8. 16-14.
.
,
The Marauders ended the regular
season with a 19-1 record, while .the
Tornadoes ·capped off their pre-tournament schedule with a mark of 128, having now won four straight
matches.
Southern played an almost errorfree match to gain the upset, getting
solid defense along the way and making the most of the opportunities presented by the Meigs defense. .

Prep Volleyball
"They really made a team effort to
get this win," Southern coach Roma
Sayre said. "We got good senior leadership but it's really hard to single out
one player because it really took the
entire team."
The Tornadoes took the lead early,
going up 4-1 on the strength of a pair
of kills by Katie Sayre and a
block/kill by senior Amy Lee. Meigs
. would get only as close as 13-8 in the
first game, when Mindy Chancey's
serve was returned into the net by
Sayre. Soon after, however, Brooke
Kiser was serving, and when

Chapman crushed a ki II past .Meigs'
stalwart Kayle Davis for a 15-8 w·in,
it was apparent a possible e.vent was
in· the making.
"They played almost a perfect
game," Meigs coach Rick Ash said of
the. Tornadoes. "They ·m:ally kept
the1r unforced errors down. I can only
thiHk of one they had all night. You
have to give them creait. They played
well against River Valley (See
accompanying st()ry) and they really
had it together."
Southern was able to take a 3-0
lead in the second game as Deane
Pullins' serves were accompanied by
a Sayre kill and a pair of unforced
Marauder errors.
