REED TIMES.SENTINEL ST~FI' MIDDLEPORT The. American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio Fol!ndation has begun an investigation into the use of public funds for a summer school program at Mid-Valley Christian School. An ACLU spokesman said Thursday that the organization acts on civil rights complaints -·'from Ol!iO' residents: an<finvtstigates those potential civil rights violations when evidence warrants further action. "The con:tplaint we received (about the program) indicated that there might be some proselytizing going on.'' said Ray Vasvari, ACLU's legal director. "And we feel that there's enough evidence to warrant an " !\ll'ected'" emploYeeS \ vill be J?rovided a severence package and the company w.ill work with them to find a new job, Bowen said. M&G Group, headquartered in Assago, Italy, purchased· the former Shell plant in June 2000. The group is the worlcl's third l!rgest manufactuer of PET resin for the packaging industry. dt supplies PET to more than 40 countries from three sites !\yo in the America,~ . ·Earlier, M&G entered into a joint development agreement with Petrecycle Pty. Ltd., a portfolio company ofVital Capital Pty. Inc., to construct, operate, test and evaluate patented rechnology fur a PET recycling facility at the Apple' Grove site. , Bowen said right now, the addition of the recycling ope~;a­ t!ons will have a minor impact on current operations. However, if the process proves to be viable, possibly a -~~ter itripact would be ·seen·down the road, he added. "If the project i.s viable, this will be the best teclmology in the world for recycling PET;' Bowen said.

COLUMBUS (AP) -The state asked the Ohio Supreme Court on Friday to allow the execution of convicted killer John W: Byrd Jr., arguing that he offers only ''flimsy proof' and no credible evidence that he's innocent of the 1983 slaying of a convenience store clerk. Byrd has asked the court to stop his execqtion because an accomplice, John Brewer, admitted in two affidavits to fatally stabbing Monte Tewksbury, 40, at a suburban Cincinnati store. Byrd's guaranteed appeals were exhausted Jan. 8 when the U.S. Supreme Court denied his final federal appeal. No execution date has been set, but Byrd is one of two death row inmates expected to be executed this year. :Attorney General Betty Montgomery called Byrd's claim of innocence extraordinary given that Brewer first took responsibility for the stabbing in a 1989 affidavit but the state's public defenders failed to disclose it until last 'week. •, ---- 16 Diamond I of clutter in the howe, possibly due to a pending move, it t~k firelighters sewral houn to .recbYer the youngest victim's body. and security ban on windows hampered neighbors who '·.Smoke . tried to rescue the victinss. ·:fire Chief Kevin Ge~ said the cause w.as under investigation. •'· ,•, . .'~~use lllkle Gtltll c...., llu=::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::H:~ - .............- ............... ,.....................St09.n A pre-dawn house lire killed a mother and Friday. · .. •p-ho victims were identified ..

' In Gallia County, commissioners are looking into a designated area for smokers in the courthouse following a citizen's request to eliminate or limit tobacco use in the building. .' Mason County is considering a no-smoking ordinance i.n public places.

On the one hand, the anti-smoking faction has a point. Tobacco use is harmful.

'· Smokers, however, have a point, too. All arguments about tobacco use aside, it's their right in this free country to puff this legal prod. \)Ct if they so choose. Ultimately, they ask, if the right to smoke is taken away, what's next? . Banning ·Or limiting smoking is a tough call in a region where ·;tobacco is a major cash crop.

A proposal bY. Gallia County comrniuioners to create a smoking area in the courthouse may be the answer in meeting the needs of .Jmokers and .non-users. i·. We know that in restaurants, sections exist for smokers and non: .;Jniokers. Yet, those who don't use tobacco complain they're still ::eliposed to second-hand smoke.

I A health issue Dear Editor: . I am writing about the impending decision of whether to disallow smoking in .the Gallia, County Courthouse. This is simply not a rights issue - it's alhealth issue. Exposure to second-hand smoke is a serious health problem. Second-hand smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, more than 40 of which are known to cause cancer in humans or animals. Benzo(a)pyrene, one. of the chemicals, is found in coal tar and is one of the world's most . potent cancer causing chemical. .Another chemical found is formaldehyde, which can cause cancer and damage to your lungs, skin and digestive system. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies second-hand smoke as a known cause of lung cancer in humans and estimates that 3,000 non-smokers die each year from lung cancer as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke. Studies show that people exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke are 82 percent more likely to .suffer a stroke than those who aren't exposed; women regularly exposed to secondhand smoke had 92 percent greater risk of heart disease than those not exposed, and women occasionally exposed to second-hand smoke had 58 percent greater risk. These are the facts. second-hand smoke is dangerous. Let's keep politics out of the decision-making process and make the courthouse a safe, smoke-free environment for everyone. _.

One thing is sure, not one member of my f=ily attended the hearing, and speculation is that there were a much larger number of people who did not attend. · As a lifelong resident, and more than 20 years as a business owner in the area, it can be said without equivocation that smo\<ers did not severely impact our business. I have visited local restaurants at least once. If they do not provide non-smoking areas, then there are sufficient numbers who do, I simply do not go back.

We have traveled fro;,. the East Coast to the West Coast, from Main~ to the southern tip of Aorida; and a lot · of places in betweeni , In California, when we asked for non-smoking area, we were politely told tha,t all of California's eating establishments were "smoke free."

As an after thought, we have been blessed with driving a late model luxury car. Many of our clients regularly borrow the . car with the stipulation: "smoking forfeits your right to use." We have yet to have someone say they would prefer our battered-up old truck. I submit that as I support the smoker's' right to smoke, allow me the freedom to seek a smoke-free environment.

Making rax cuts the theme of his third week in office and his second weekly radio address, Bush said the $1.6 billion, 10year tax reduction plan he will send to Congress will help those who were left behind even as rising prosperity lifted the country as a whole. "A lot of people feel as if they have been looking through the window at somebody else's parry." he said. "It is time to fling those doors and windows open and invite everybody in." Bush called his plan broad, responsible and "the right thing to do." He made clear it will lower rax rates for all Americans, general.

Trying to erase blots that marred their exit from the White House, Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton say they will pay for neady half the $190,000 in gifts they opted to keep just as they were moving out. Clinton also says he won't let taxpayers be "taken for a ride" paying for his pricey post-presidential office in Manhattan. Clinton's first days as a former president and his wife debut as a senator from New York have beeri tainted by three controver;ies: their decision to tote thousands of dollars worth Of ~hina, rug;, Oatware and ' other gifts out of the White House; Clinton's pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich; and his decision to rent a taxpayer-financed, $600,000-a-year office overlooking Central Park.

(AP) -The energy ctisis that has engulfed California won't get much help from Mother Nature, forecasters say. They are predicting low Sierr.l Nevada snowpack levels throughout the summer in California, which depends heavily on runoff to power hydroelectric plants. Energy shortages led to thousands of blackouts in the state for two consecutive days last month. The monthly Sierra snowpack survey showed the snow's water content at only 50 percent of norm.! levels, and forecasters said the odds were slim that it woUld fully rebound. "Loolcing at the north Siern precipitation index since 1922, the odds of us getting back to norm.! are about l-in-to;• said Bill Mork, climatologist for the s~te Department of Water Resources. ,But Pacific Gas and Electric Co. spokesman John Tremayne said it was premature to forecast the entire rainy season. . "Last year about this time, we were in wone con.dition and W.: ended up above normal:' he said. "It's not like the Pacific Northwest where they get rain every day. We get five to eight major storms each year that gives us the majority of'our rain. Sometimes they're early, sometimes they're late." Meanwhile, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham rejected pleas from Western go~r­ nors Friday to cap wholes.Je utility prices to protect consumen should the power crisis spread. He said a cap could discourage con~rvation and worsen problems this summer, when power demands rise more than 30 percent. "abuse of power." The report by three veteran journ.Jists was commissioned by CNN but took a broader look at all the networks prematurely declaring George W. Bush the winner that night. CNN responded by promising to pay for an independent votean.Jysis system and to not use exit projections to call dose r.1ces. The report condemned the networks in unusually harsh language for twice declaring - and then retr.ICting- winners in Florida on election night.

Petersons, a 7-foot- 1 senior, is trying to decide if he'll play on Sunday, March 5, should Wright State win its first round game in the .Midwestern · Collegiate Conference tournament the day before. His abs ence could leave the Raiders in · a bind, but Petersons said his first duty is to serve God. A strict Christian, Petersoris has. refrained all his life from doing anything on Sundays except going to church and spending time with family. "I believe God inade the earth in six days and, on the seventh, He res'ted," Petersons said. During his first three seasons with the Raiders, Petersons' religious beliefs rarely conflicted with games. · In his freshman .season, a year in which he hardly· played, Petersons stayed at the hotel in Green Bay; Wis., while Butler eliminated Wright State from the second round of the MCC tournament·. J¥ ·- •• "I believe God made the earth in six days and, on the seventh, He rested." Bruno Petoroone, Wright Sblto Unlvorolty bookotboll ployor W right State lost -in the first round of the tournamen't in each of <he last two seasons, so Petersons wasn't faced with making a choice. But with the Raiders playing better this sea' so n , it's a ·g ood bet he'll have to decide. Peters ons has repeatedly disc cussed his b ~ liefs with Wright State coach Ed Schilling, who believes Petersons should play on Sunday for "very unique and special" occasions such as tournament games . "Pastors work on Sunday. Jesus healed the sick on Sunday," Schilling said. · Schilling said he · tells Petersons that his talent is · Godgiven and that many Christian athletes believe they glorify God by playing. B!lt Schilling said he does not expect Petersons to practice or study game tapes on Sundays. The Raiders do not schedule regular-seaso·n games on Sunday. Occasionally, they will practice, but those sessions · are optional. "It's not about me trying to influence him," Schilling said. "I support him either way. Tlie bottom line is, what's the btst ·way to glorify God?" Petersons, Wright State's top shot-blocker, has developed into a capable backup to Israel Sheinfeld . Should he be unavailable for the second ·round of the tournament, Schilling will use 6-9 forward · Thomas Hope, a ·solid rebounder who has little exp·erience at center,- behind Sheinfeld. Petersons said deciding whether or not to play will be difficult. ' "It's all in God's hands," Petersons said . "Wheth~r I play or not, He will let the team win if it's in His plan. · . "We might get (to the se'Fond round) . We might not. I'll just see when the time comes. I'll see what the situation is. I will have to pray about it. I pray with my family and p·~ay with the coaches. And then I will decide." ' · " will • Fan added t3 points for Marietta (10-5, SEOAL 8-4). He was 9for-t 0 from the free throw line. Farr, tile Tigers 6-fo<,~t-6 center, missed the River Valley game at Marietta due to anlcle injury. . "We had some kids play (Farr) pretty agressive," said Layton. "Clark (Walker) and Jeremy (Peck) .did an excellent 'job on Farr inside." . Marietta had five 3-pointers in the opening quarter, but it was a diffeJent story in the second peri-· od. Both teams played a Iowscoring quarter of basketball as the Tigers outscored the Raiders 7-4 afterleading 22-13 at the end of the first quarter. · "We went probably about five minutes or six minutes with our two leading scorers sitting on the bench (in the second quarter)," said Layton. "We knew we were limited offensively. We were hoping that we would just have some patience on offense and work and get an uncontested shot, maybe a layup. We struggled, but fortunately, those kids on the floor at that time really stepped it up on the defensive end and made some stops and they rebounded. They didn't give Marietta any second chances in that time, either." ' Frazee, who had all four second-quarter points for the IN~NIITY- That's what etched on the fece of River Valley senior R..iders (7-10, SEOAL 3-9), led Cratg Payne as he looks for and open teammate during Friday's River Valley with 16 points, SEOAL game aga.inst Marietta.

James Sands GUEST COLUMNIST the auto age .when in 1902 he began experimenting with a gas powered carriage. In 191'5 the Patterson-Greenfield Auto made its debut. Special features included a full floating rear axle, cantilever springs, demountable rims, lefthand drive, center control, electric starter and electric lighting system. The car was powered by a four-cylinder Continental engine that could reach the speed of 50 mph. It sold for $850 and came as a roadster and as a touring car. Estimates of how many of these cars were manufactured ranges from 100 to 150. The firm was never able to get the capital to go into mass production and so the firm !l;IVO up that part of the business about 1919. · They had gone into the 'manufacture of horse drawn school wagons in the early 1900's. Patterson's claim.ed to have made in 1913 the only perfect winter school buggy in the country. According to ads: "This vehicle affords the protection which often changes slow faculties benumbed with cold into apt minds alive in school work." Patterson continued that line into the 1920's when they once again turned to gasoline powered equipment. They bought frames and engines from other companies but custom designed the bodies for use as buses, hearses, moving vans and trucks for hauling ice, milk and bread. These early vehicles had wood frames with metal skins. They were mounted on ford, Dodge and Chevy chassis. In 1930 Patterson switched to all steel bodies. Patterson school buses were the first to be used in Cincinnati and they were sold to places as far away as Haiti . In later years many of the buses used in Cincinnati fQr public transportation were built by Patterson. The interiors of the buses were plywood with plywood backing on the seats, which were covered by naugahyde. Blacksmiths bent the bows for the seats and roof supports. In the middle 1930's Patterson became the first .company to manufacture twowheeled trailers. The Patterson firm took these early trai lers all over the country. They would set up in a ca_r lot.

Once the car was completed, .ihe family took their new cre~tion to West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, ;W.Va., a NASCAR- sanctioned ·din race track, to compete with .the"big names" of the local sport. - : : "It was quite a thrill for me to '. SJOe him ruoning alongside such , legendary drivers as Steve .Lucas, · Don White, Greg Mitchell, Larry and Andy Bond,JeffWood, 'Dub' Barnhouse and Bob Adams," said April. "It really made me proud · that his success in the sport propelled him to that level of com- petition." The Smiths cite the receni success of NASCAR as a major reason why dirt track racing has · been increasing in popularity .. recently. "~eople interested· in , NASCAR are starting to see were a majority of the drivers SfUted from," said April. "The sport is evety bit as fast and competitive as the big leagues and is starting to get the recognition that it rightfully deserves." "Dirt track racing is becoming a huge sport for thousands of auto · enthusiasts," she added. · However, the Smiths do admit that racing is not always fun and games and that there is, in fact, a down side to the sport. Long weekends, numerous hours in the garage and skyrocketing expenses are just a few of the pitfalls that must be endured when operating a race car. "The whole process can be very time consuming," said Tom. "It's easy to spend over 40 hours a week inside the garage performing minor repairs and updating the car's performance:· "You basically have to do whatever it takes to get the car ready," he added. Long weekends have also been a ritual for the Smitlu since they first entered the sport 11 years earlier. A "normal" weekend schedule consists of loading the car, heading to the track, which is usually a two-hour trip; compete in the race, load the car once again, arrive home at around 3 a.m., make repairs to the car, wash the car, and then repeat .the entire routine over the next day. "It's very tiring, but also very exhilarating at the same time," said April. According to the Smitlu, one of the most demanding aspects of dirt track racing would have to be the expenses' incurred during the duration of a full season. "Compared to other drivers, we run a low-budget car," said Tom. "Most of the drivers out there are professionals and can usually afford to purchase a new car every year; the main reason being that. they have big-name sponsors." "We've used the same frame on ow: car for a number of yean, which is a 1996 chassis, and still come out winning a good bit of the races," added Thm. "Other drivers can't believe that we use the same frame every year and do what we do." "I suppose that we just make the most of what we've got," he said. Tom and April openly admit that without the generosity of the team's local sponsorship, the success that tljey have acquired over their years in the sport would not have been possible. "There is no doubt about it, auto racing is an expensive sport," said April, whose job also includes keeping the team's financial records. "Everything that you win usually goes right back into the car." "Without the help of our sponsors, I really don't know what we would have done;' she added. To help pay for SQme of the car's expenses, the Smiths began selling T-shirts and hats that promote the TNT Racing Team. Designs for the apparel are developed by Jason Shain of Racine, who also creates the decals that adorn the body of the 17. The team's sponsors include Taz's Marathon, Gene Johnson Chevrolet, Shain Carburation, Crow's Family Restaurant, Shain Custom Decals, Banks Construction and French Racing Engines., Following the end of each racing season, the Smitlu bring their car back to the garage for a complete strip-down and restoration, so as to check for problems that might have been sustained while racing and to prepare the car for the next season, whicli begins around the first of April and lasts until the end of October. Last year, the team e.;joyed the taste of success once again by securing three feature wins at Jackson County Speedway in Jackson and winning "Best Late Model" car in the Annual Stock Car Show in Vienna, W.Va. The Smiths sadly noted that the 2001 season might be their last at racing because of the lack of physical help needed to prepare the car for each race. "It tlkes a lot of e!Tort to get everything done," said April. "The task of getting the car ready and constandy operational can take its toll on you both mentally and · ' physically." "This could quite possibly be our last year in a sport that we truly love." However, ·the wide smile on her face and the gleam in her eye conveys a message that both April and her family aren't . ready to hang up the racing gloves and helmet just yet. A{ter aU, there's still some dirt left in this family's blood. Books flomP~aeC1 ken man.

Markman. The contributors examine love's mystery and what makes it so compelling. In a letter to wife Lois after 65 years of marriage, Art Linkletter writes, "It was a wild yo-yo ride and, surprisingly, you went along with it, trusting completely in my judgment and never questioning the outcome." Steven Pinker advises, "Your dreamboat is a needle in a haystack, and you may die single if you insist on waiting for him or her to show up." And Shirley P. Glass believes that "it's more impOrtant to be the right person than .to find the right person." W. Kim Halford takes a realistic approach: "Now that I am middle aged, I do not mistake the exCitement oflust for true love." In "Every Day I (,ave You More Oust Not Today)" (Warner, S23.95), Nancy Shulins offers essays with advice for making relationships last. She draws upon e"l'eriences from her marriage and those of friends and family to discuss vanous topics, including trust, being a good listener, romantic keepsakes, dealing with aging, and the importance of getting and giving the right greeting card. And those still on the lookout might find the key in "Tell Me About It: Lying, Sulking, Getting Fat, and 56 Other Things Not to Do While Looking for Love" (Hyperion, $9.95 paperback) by Carolyn Hax. If the answer isn't in the title, it might be in one of the book's other no-no's: underestimating compatibility, picking at your salad, or - sadly - ruling out the possibility that you might always be single. • Pag Swtdllf.

Snell is an exceptional speaker and an oul$tlnding teacher; thus all producers are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. Even after · several years of severe quota cul3, tobacco producers reacted with mild enthusiasm to the news of a 332 million-pound total basic quota for 2001, which represents a 34.4 percent incre;t5e. One cannot blame producers for being difficult to impress. After all, producers are operating in one-third of the quota they had in 1997, thus a 34 percent increase on just a little bit of quota still leaves producers with just a little bit of quota. A 1,000 pmmds of quota in 1997 was reduced to 330 pounds by 2000, and this recent increase will only raise the quota · in this example to approximate-. ly 442 pounds. Producers can thank the October 2000 loan forgiveness appropriation bill for the ' increase in quota. Recall that this bill excused more than $500 million in loans and 220 million pounds in pool' stocks that accu- . mulated f~m the 1999 drought-stricken CJ;Op. Without this forgiveness, there would have been another double-digit decrease in quota. To understand how we ' ,. . ' ~ Jennifer •.... · .·····.l:.J Byrnes · 'tfl't GUEST VIEW arrived at an increase, recall thethree elements of the formula' 'that determine the change iO: quota each year: company- buy•· ing intentions, tobacco expo.r~ ' (three-year average), and pQo~ stock levels. First, companybuying intentions are 7 percent; lower this year at 225 million; pounds, which is the starting !Joint of the formula. · The decrease in buying intenc tions discouraged burley p(o:; ducers, because the compani'~ also announced their intentions to buy 3.8 percent more fl~e~ cured tobacco. ;: The second consideration' iS exports, which were averaged' ~( 144 million pounds, down 1~ percent from the three-year average in 2000.The decrease in exports is mainly due to the poor quality of the 1999 crop combined with the fact that the U.S. dollar was very strong, making it more expensive fo~ other countries to buy U.S. tobacco. The formula requires t~e addition of the buying intentions . (225 million pounds) tq · the export average (144 million pounds) which results in 369 · million pounds. . ~. - . ' •t PleaM-Iyiiii......
