All. four players on a team "think" identically. The winning pro· gram was Jack, written by Dutchman Hans Kuijf. It won the final by the com· fortable(!) margin of one point over WBridge 5, the prod· uct of Fren~hman Yves Coste!. Jack led poorly an(! played well on tbis deal from the final. At the other table, the Jack West led the diamond ace, an infe· rior choice when one knows from the auc· tion that dul!'my ·has at most a smgleton. After this, WBridge 5 had no trouble win· ning 10 tricks via one spade, four hearts, three clubs and two diamond ruffs in the dummy. WBridge 5 West found the trump lead. However, Jack timed the play well. After winning with dummy's heart ace, de· clarer played a dia· mond to the jack and ace. Back in with the heart king, Jack cashed the club king, played a spade to the ace, ruffea a spade, took dummy's acequeen of clubs (dis· carding a diamond from hand), trumped another spade, and ruffed a diamond. That was 10 tricks down, nine in and one out. Dummy, on lead, retained the jack-! 0 of spades and club seven. West ·was ·known to have the queen-eight of spades and one other card. A human would ruff a spade in hand for the lOth trick. But Jack went for the crowd-pleasing play, ruffing dummy's last club. West over· ruffed, but after cashing the spade queen, had to. concede the last trick to dummy's spade jack. 51 Ballpark " Aladdin" prince 17 19501 NCO«<s 19 W11h off 21 Mtd. o0 K t Middleport e Pomeroy, Ohio over deg. 14 Hlrdtn 15 Sharplhooter - K 10 9 I 4 • 6J z South 39 Ytlnllke 1 Crowd 40 Gob of gum 4Tttholder 41 Mont. 7 Coke neiGhbor lltemotlve 42 .Baildn or ·10 ActorDoGenoi'H Wolloch 45 Eye parts 11 Kitchen tool 49 Handed ~-!II ' 50 Seine aile Strategy gruero Mlofortunes 31 Wearing Ms. Adams clothes Hurt• 35 HeHoro' 52 Stroke --- CELEBRITY CIPHER ·by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and presenl.

The contract .must go through two more council votes before it is official. If approved, the service contract defines the duties, pay rate and benefit structure for the new magistrate, who oversees mayor ' s court. The proposed .contract between the village and the new magistraie asks for about $500 a month compensation, in addition to mileage and other expenses related to the job. Knight is requesting that $42.50 be taken from his $500 a month paycheck and applied to his retirement benefits with the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). As the village would for any other employee entitled ro these benefits , it will provide ·another percentage to Knight's PERS account on top of what Knight is already contributing out of his paycheck.

Citizens for Community Values official s said Monday they already have surveyed 174 hotels in an area thai includes Cincinnati and ne arby section s of northern Kentucky and southea st Indiana . "We're going o n the offensive and we ' re going to stay on the offens ive ," said Phil Burress, .president of CCV, based in this Ci ncinn ati suburb . Burress said his group wants to make it easier for individuals and fami lies to find hote ls that do not offer ad ult movies and wants to promote hotel s that do not carry those ·types of movies . He said that CC:V plans to survey hotel s in every major city in America in the next six months. Scott Greenwood, gene ral counse l of the American Civi l Liberties Union of Ohio, criticized the labeling of hotels as either "clean" or "dirt y," depending on whether they offer adult movies , as "a Taliban-tY(ie tactic." "If they want to pro vide a listing service so that people who share the same narrow-mindedness - . · that's fine," said Greenwood. "But some of these hotels have bars arid even minibars in their rooms. Kids can get into mini-bars, too. Are they going to start li sting those hotels?" CCV officials. said they recently surv eyed 174 hotels in eight counties surrounding Cincinnati - Hamilton , Butler, Warre n, Clermont in Ohio ; Boone, Kenton and · Campbell · in Kentucky and . Dearborn in Indiana. The gro up said that 98, or 56 percent , of th e hotels re ported that they did not offer adult pay-per-view movies to guests. Those hotel s will be listed on a CCV-sponsored web site as being pornography free, Burress said . · A spoke sman for the Ohio Hotel and Lodging Association said the CCV activities have been causing concern among Ohio hoteliers, who say they offer the adult-movie service to keep up with the competition . "Competitors will offer it and they don't want to lose that business to somebody e lse," said hotel association spokesman Bart Hacker. He said concerned Ohio hoteliers have been calling th e association trying to decide whether to pull their adult-movie servi ces. "I've been telling our hoteliers not to panic , not to be kn ee-jerk," said Hacker. "Nobody's brought a suit. It's a media scare campaign." Celebration of first po~ered flight kicks off yearlong centennial KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. (AP) - Ninety-nine years to · the day after humans first piloted a motor-driven craft throu gh the air, a horde of aviators and admirers ga thered to honor the brothers who took that fir st giant leap. , A day of events were to kick off Tuesday in honor of the Wright brothers and the Outer Banks people wh o helped them get their first plane off the ground . The celebration, featuring a wreath-laying at the monument to Orville and Wilbur Wright and a flyover of 99 aircraft, is meant to launch North Carolin a's planned ·yearlong celebration of the · centennial of flight. Over the coming year, displays and events are planned statewide and at the Wright Brothers National Memorial here . The largest single event is the 1I.-day Festival of Flight in Fayetteville, near Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base , which can better accommodate the parade of aircraft that have followed the lightweight . Wright Flyers, as well as the crowds celebrating a century of flight. · · At Kill Devil Hills, the National ·Aeronautics and Space Administration, the military, airplane manufacturers and others are to set up exhibits in a few months at one end of a 20,000square-foot, $1.8 million pavilion semi-permanent being built on the site of the memorial. A runway will feed into the other end , allowing pilots · to bring in small planes for discu ssions and exhibits. The fin<1le one year from now will be a six-day celebration that features the attempted flight of a $1.2 million reproduction of the Wright Flyer airplane. A matching plane will be donated to the site . Orville and Wilbur Wri ght first came from Dayton , Ohio, to the Outer Banks in the fall of ·1900, drawn by the islands' stiff winds. privacy and open spaces as promi sing conditions to attempt pow ered, manned flights. · They succeeded on Dec. 17, 1903, when Orville piloted the Wright Flyer 120 feet and aloft for 12 seconds along the dunes of what was then part of Kitty Hawk . It was the first .o f four short flights that day. The longest was 852 feet. Retired electric chair to be displayed COLUMBUS (AP) Ohioans will get a chance to see the state's retired electric chair in which 312 men and three women died between 1897 and 1963. Historical Society Executive Director Gary Ness said on Monday that "Old Sparky" will be moved on Thursday from the Southern .Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville to the Society's muse um in Columbus. Ness said an announcement will be made on when the chair is to be put on display. Ness said he and state pri sons chief Reginald Wilkinson agreed that the chair should be exhibited. "It's a very significant artifact of Ohio's past and certainly does deserve to be preserved," Ness said. "That electric chair is as much .a part of our history as anything," Wilkinso n said. "I think the people of our state should have access to our history regardless how dubious it might be. " I would like to see it periodically displayed," he added. " But we ha ve no requirements to .do it once a year or every two years or at all." The electric chair officially was put out of business on Nov. 22, 200 I, when Gov. · Bob Taft signed a law making lethal injection the sole means· of executi on in Ohio.

Citizens for Community Values official s said Monday they already have surveyed 174 hotels in an area thai includes Cincinnati and ne arby section s of northern Kentucky and southea st Indiana . "We're going o n the offensive and we ' re going to stay on the offens ive ," said Phil Burress, .president of CCV, based in this Ci ncinn ati suburb . Burress said his group wants to make it easier for individuals and fami lies to find hote ls that do not offer ad ult movies and wants to promote hotel s that do not carry those ·types of movies . He said that CC:V plans to survey hotel s in every major city in America in the next six months. Scott Greenwood, gene ral counse l of the American Civi l Liberties Union of Ohio, criticized the labeling of hotels as either "clean" or "dirt y," depending on whether they offer adult movies , as "a Taliban-tY(ie tactic." "If they want to pro vide a listing service so that people who share the same narrow-mindedness - . · that's fine," said Greenwood. "But some of these hotels have bars arid even minibars in their rooms. Kids can get into mini-bars, too. Are they going to start li sting those hotels?" CCV officials. said they recently surv eyed 174 hotels in eight counties surrounding Cincinnati - Hamilton , Butler, Warre n, Clermont in Ohio ; Boone, Kenton and · Campbell · in Kentucky and . Dearborn in Indiana. The gro up said that 98, or 56 percent , of th e hotels re ported that they did not offer adult pay-per-view movies to guests. Those hotel s will be listed on a CCV-sponsored web site as being pornography free, Burress said . · A spoke sman for the Ohio Hotel and Lodging Association said the CCV activities have been causing concern among Ohio hoteliers, who say they offer the adult-movie service to keep up with the competition . "Competitors will offer it and they don't want to lose that business to somebody e lse," said hotel association spokesman Bart Hacker. He said concerned Ohio hoteliers have been calling th e association trying to decide whether to pull their adult-movie servi ces. "I've been telling our hoteliers not to panic , not to be kn ee-jerk," said Hacker. "Nobody's brought a suit. It's a media scare campaign." Celebration of first po~ered flight kicks off yearlong centennial KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. (AP) - Ninety-nine years to · the day after humans first piloted a motor-driven craft throu gh the air, a horde of aviators and admirers ga thered to honor the brothers who took that fir st giant leap. , A day of events were to kick off Tuesday in honor of the Wright brothers and the Outer Banks people wh o helped them get their first plane off the ground . The celebration, featuring a wreath-laying at the monument to Orville and Wilbur Wright and a flyover of 99 aircraft, is meant to launch North Carolin a's planned ·yearlong celebration of the · centennial of flight. Over the coming year, displays and events are planned statewide and at the Wright Brothers National Memorial here . The largest single event is the 1I.-day Festival of Flight in Fayetteville, near Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base , which can better accommodate the parade of aircraft that have followed the lightweight . Wright Flyers, as well as the crowds celebrating a century of flight. · · At Kill Devil Hills, the National ·Aeronautics and Space Administration, the military, airplane manufacturers and others are to set up exhibits in a few months at one end of a 20,000square-foot, $1.8 million pavilion semi-permanent being built on the site of the memorial. A runway will feed into the other end , allowing pilots · to bring in small planes for discu ssions and exhibits. The fin<1le one year from now will be a six-day celebration that features the attempted flight of a $1.2 million reproduction of the Wright Flyer airplane. A matching plane will be donated to the site . Orville and Wilbur Wri ght first came from Dayton , Ohio, to the Outer Banks in the fall of ·1900, drawn by the islands' stiff winds. privacy and open spaces as promi sing conditions to attempt pow ered, manned flights. · They succeeded on Dec. 17, 1903, when Orville piloted the Wright Flyer 120 feet and aloft for 12 seconds along the dunes of what was then part of Kitty Hawk . It was the first .o f four short flights that day. The longest was 852 feet. Retired electric chair to be displayed COLUMBUS (AP) Ohioans will get a chance to see the state's retired electric chair in which 312 men and three women died between 1897 and 1963. Historical Society Executive Director Gary Ness said on Monday that "Old Sparky" will be moved on Thursday from the Southern .Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville to the Society's muse um in Columbus. Ness said an announcement will be made on when the chair is to be put on display. Ness said he and state pri sons chief Reginald Wilkinson agreed that the chair should be exhibited. "It's a very significant artifact of Ohio's past and certainly does deserve to be preserved," Ness said. "That electric chair is as much .a part of our history as anything," Wilkinso n said. "I think the people of our state should have access to our history regardless how dubious it might be. " I would like to see it periodically displayed," he added. " But we ha ve no requirements to .do it once a year or every two years or at all." The electric chair officially was put out of business on Nov. 22, 200 I, when Gov. · Bob Taft signed a law making lethal injection the sole means· of executi on in Ohio.

You don't have to go far to understand why the administration is kowtowing to the big corporations. They were major contributors to the Republicans in the last two elections. Many of the fwid-raisers and donors were members of Bush's transition team and carried important voices in setting environmental policy. These changes won't reduce air emissions. Instead, they will boost these industries' bottom line - giving them even more money with which to buy their politicians. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS · Today is Tuesday.

Forbes, Scottish journalist mso-1954) . " '· " OUR READERS' VIEWS Challenging company Dear Editor: On a Sunday afternoon in October, while mowing the lower section of my yard, I noticed a little water coming from the area of my .water meter. Fearing a water leak, I stopped for closer observation. It did look like a water leak, although not a major one, so I immediately attempted to call the Tuppers PlainsChester Water Co.. There was no response due to the weekend, so I called again on Monday morning, and someone was sent to check for a leak. The water company said there was one - and that it was on my side of the line. My son-in-law came out Monday afternoon to repair the leak: There was a small amount of water leaking, but it was only wet around the immediate area of the actual leak. The shut-off valve looked to have been deliberately broken coff, and my son-in-law relayed the information to me. Imagine my shock when I learned that my water bill was over $700. Tuppers Plains-Chester Water says that my leak was apparently happening for over a month, and that I used over 210,000 gallons of water during the month, and another 30,000 over the weekend I attempted to report the leak. I questioned why my water pressure had never been affected and also why the lower field, which flood s after a heavy rain, was not even wet. They said they did not know. I felt that something was wrong. My water bill is usually less than $14 a month. ,; On the occasions when my children and grandchildren have visited from out of state, the water company has called to · question if I may have· a leak, because my water bill would go up considerably (over $40 a mqnth). I contested the water bill to a• water company representative and the call was escalated to Bill Pooler. I told him I did not possibly think that I had leaked that much water, but he assured me that their equipment reading was accurate. I received a letter a couple of weeks .later, stating that the water company board had met, and decided to forgive the 30,000 gallons I had used the last weekend of the leak, but that I would have to pay for the 201,000. " ••' I'm certain the reading was maccurate, and I'm being charged unfairly. 1·· decided to di spute the bill. My first · appeal was to the Public Utilities • Commission. I learned quickly that they •· · have no jurisdiction over this water company. · My second appeal was to th<! state~ attorney general. Upon investigation, , they also told me that they do not have jurisdiction, but told me to appeal to the ' governor. ' I am going to appeal to the governor, · but interestingly enough, as I have · shared my story around the county, I've ·, found others who feel they have been · charged unfairly by the same water:J company. One lady shared that she was charged over $900 for a "leak," and ·although · she fought paying it, ultimately was forced to pay. We have no other option • for water in this area, and so it seems·: that the water company has all the power. If you feel you have been · charged wrongly by Tuppers PlainsChester Water, will you please contract. me at 949-8402. ' Naomi Bissell Long Bottom: KONDRACKE'S VIEW ..

The "deficits as far as the eye could · see" of the 1980s were not primarily the ' result of Reagan's tax cuts, Crippen said, but of the deep recession that occurred at · the outset of his administration and the · end of high inflation, which reduced gov- ' ernment revenues. ·· Similarly, he said, "It was not President Clinton's and (economic adviser) Bob Rubin's tax increases or legislation by a ~ Republican Congress that balanced the . budget and began to produce surpluses, . but growth in the economy." Supply-siders nowadays insist that· Republican economic policies in the 1980s ultimately produced the boom of. the 1990s. · Crippen said, "The truth is that no one . knows. We saw a rapid increase in pro· ductivity, which no one anticipated. We saw a rapid increase in revenues relative to the size of the economy, probably from bonuses, stock options and caj?ital gains. which bas now reversed itself. • At the moment, CBO's estimates indi-" cate that the 200 I recession and the aftermath of terrorism account for about 36; percent of the loss in federal surpluses, while Bush's tax cuts account for 24 percent and new spending on defense and homeland security, 15 percent. Largely tor political reasons - he doesn't want to repeat the fate of his father, defeated amid a weak economy in 1992 -- Bush seems determined to stimulate the economy with new business-oriented tax cuts. . Democrats, tor their own political reasons, assert that the economy is in even worse shape than Republicans claim and want to rewrite Bush pol icy completely. It's probably a good thing that the holidays--are coming and Congress is out of session. It provides some time to see what develops in the economy, before politi .. cians smk the deficit even 'deeper. (Morton K ondracke is executive ediror of Roll Call. the newspaper of Capitol Hill.)

(A P) Delta Air Lines plans to add flights and destinations to its second-largest hub as part of a new strategy to make the money-losing operation profitable . ~ The plan for the nex t tl;lree years is to continue to add ai rcrafl and destinations and frequencies to fill in the gaps we ha ve now," Subodh Karnik . a Delta vice president. told The Cindnnati Enquirer for a story Saturday. "The only way we can make · mon ey in Cincinnati is by offering the most number of destination s." Betwee n its big jet and regional jet operations, Delta operates 537 departures at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Only Delta's operation in Atlanta is bigger. Delta lost $326 million last quarter and is on pace to lose more. than $1 billion for the year. The only way to remedy that situation is to expand. Karnik said . "We want to make the hub vibrant and large in scope." Karnik said a double-digit increase in the total number of aircraft and an increase of 20 to 30 departures would be · possible by the end of neJ>I year. but he would not provide specific s. The strat egy call s for adding ci ties, primarily small or mid-size markets in the Midwest or on the East Coast. Delta also plans to use a mix of small to mid-sized airplanes to add more flights each day to existing routes, with big cities such as Chicago and New York listed as potential targets. Airport aviation director Bob Holsc her said the Cincinnati airport's philosophy has been to run a fi scally conservative but safe and efficient operation. "I ' m .glad they are recognizing that , and Delta continues to look upon us favorably," he said. Added flights and destinations, however, will not mean cheaper fares at the Cincinnati hub, Kamik said.

I was told that it has no value until it is sold. If we sell the lot, will we be liable for taxes? We may purchase this land, if it's affordable. Most of the land in that area is priced out of our reach. J.D., Sun Valley, Idaho DEAR J.D.: First of all, inheritance tax is not an issue since Grandma is alive. Inheritance tax only kicks in after death. If there is value here, you would not be liable for taxes, but Grandma might unless she claimed against her lifetime estate, which should have been done. An accountant should take a look at that issue. The likelihood is that there would be some tax liability, depending upon the basis that was used when the land was transferred from Grandma to you. This is another case where representation by an appropriate attorney and an accountant would be the proverbial, ."a stitch in time saves nine. " I urge you' to get some advice quickly.

In the latest ava ilable stati sti cs. Ohio had a statewide poverty rate of II pe rcent in 19'1<J, with Meigs County's poverty rate set at 19.4 percent of the population . The perce nt age represents aboul 4,500 people out of a countywide population ofabout 23.000. The U.S. Census Bureau uses a set of money income thre sholds that vary by family size and composition to determine pov erty. According 10 the Census Bureau, if a family's total income is less than that family 's threshold , !hen that famil y, and every individual in it, is considered to be living in poverty. The poverly thres holds do nol vary geographically and th ey are adjusted for inflation each yea r. The officia l poverty defin ilion counts money income before taxes and does no t in.:ludc capital gains and non -cas h benefit> - such a> public housing. Medicaid and food stamps. For those people 65 or o lder, \he thres hold was $5.947 in I'J 89. For' a family of four with two re lated children under 18 years of age. the thre shold was $12.575. The pover· ty thres hold was about $8,600 for those people 65 or older in I'J99. For that same family of four, the lhreshold was about $ 16,900. According to the U.S. Census Burea u, 9.9 percent of the e lderly nationwide were below Ihe· poverty line in 1999. down from 12 .8 percent in 1989 and 25.3 percent in 1969. Even though the poverty rate fo r the elderl y has been· turned around . the fi nancial future of the elderl y is nol necessarily stable or sec ure. The elderly are living longer, medi cal costs are rising, and the prospects of se ni ors needin g long· term medical care are threatening their finan cial sec urity.

She has been a member for marty years. Thursday, the six remain· ing active members of the club, organized in 1936, held a final meeting at the Rock Springs United Methodist Church. They were there to carry out a project of preparing Christmas· trays of cookies ana candies for shut-ins in the community - something the club has done every year for more than 50 yems. They were delivered by members later in the day. For many it was a day of "remembering when ... " · Member.; chatted ·about aciivities of years .rast and about longtime members now counted among the shut-ins, as they filled the trays assembly-line .fashion with homemade cookies and candies. Phyllis Skinner, who joined the club in 1956, commented on how much she had enjoyed the social aspects of getting together and how much she had learned about health. A part of every meeting was devol- ed to readings or a discussion of some health issue. She is one of the three over-80 • members who remain active. The other two are> Frances Goeglein and Dorothy letTers. "The fellowship has been great," said Nancy Morris who moved from Meigs County several yems ago but has driven nearly every month from Hamden to attend the meetings. While Thursday was the last meeting of the 66.-yearold club, the organization has a history worth remembering. ll was in spring of ' 36 that the club was organized as <m outgrowth of a class i.n home hygiene and care of the sick taught by the late Nellie Bing. The Great Depression was in full swing, jobs· and money were scarce, a WPA program was being organized, and Bing. a registered nurse, saw the need for better health education in Meigs County. . At that time there was no public health nurse in the county and since Bing had experience in the lield, th~ Meigs County Public Health Association <UTanged lor her to leach several ch~ses in the county. The course at Rock Springs was held at the home of the late Nettie Collins and about 16 women enrolled. They were among the tirst meinbers of the Rock' Springs Better Health Club. Dues collected at the meet· ings went to equip a linen chest of sheets, pillowcases and lowels lo be loaned to families who might have sickness in their homes. But it soon became apparent that many families were too proud to use supplies belonging to the· club, so il was decided to selllhe linens and put the money in a fund to help others. Numerous projects have been carried out over the years. At one time, tirst aid supplies were provided to schools. Members have · served canteens at the blood· mobile, raised money for the fire depattn\ents and emergency squads, donating loys for hospi,talized children. contributed to numerous health organizations, and remembered shut-ins and aged resident s on special occasions and holidays. The number of projects has decreased over the years as the ·membership has declined, but for the few remaining members. their enthusiasm showed no signs of diminishing - not even as they prepared the las\ trays of Christmas cookies and candies to be del ivered lo shut-in s from the Rock Springs Better Health Club. REED Highlanders looks to ·lift.air quality injunction BY lAWRENCE J. Staff writer SMITH emilled - chromi um, nickel, mangane se, lead, phosphorous, <! ntimony, cadmium, arse nic and selenium posed a significant health hazard to nearby residents. " It 's our contention it was a hazard at the rate it was being emitted," Timmermeyer said.

She said only six of the II compartments were func tional in the baghouse, which . contain "bags,', or giant rur filt~ rs, reducing the parliculine matters emitted by the smell ing of coke in the furnace.
