The state commander gave a talk on the h_andicap situation in Ohio. He stated that Ohio is far behind in enforcing the handicap law. The Americans With Disabilities or ADA W'as. signed into law on July 26, 1990. This law is meant to help the handicapped.

Laddie F•. Marous Lisa S. Tharp Columbus Think about this Dear Editor: On Saturday, May 12, 2001, Chapter No. 53, Disabled American Veterans, sponsored a district meeting that consisted ofnine counties in southern Clhio. A couple of these meetings are held each year at one of the nine chapten in this district. In artendance was several state officen, one of them being the DAV state commander. The state commander gave a talk on the h_andicap situation in Ohio. He stated that Ohio is far behind in enforcing the handicap law. The Americans With Disabilities or ADA W'as. signed into law on July 26, 1990. This law is meant to help the handicapped. If anybody doubts this, there is a toll free number, 1-800-ADAOH!O, to call if you have .any questions concerning this law. ·If any of you have the occasion to visit a VA Medical Center, this should · change your mind about parking in a handicap parkirig space ..

Last week, I witnessed an elderly lady get out of her car with her cane and hobble to a mail drop box outside a post office and put her mail in the drop box. The reason she had to do this is a car and a truck .was parked in front of the mail drop box. This isn't showing respect to the elderly or to _the handicapped. Most villages in this area have handicap signs and parking spaces but the law is not enforced . It would behoove .everybody to honor and obey this law.

Atlanta was in a tight spot Friday night, tf!.iling In the ninth inning against .a San Francisco squad that had won 105 of its last 106 games when ~ntering the fin al inriing with a lead. But Giants closer Robb Nen's wild pitch with two outs ' allowed the Braves to complete their two-run rally for a 6-5 victory. The visiting Giants took a 5-4 lead in the eighth on Barry Bonds' Stith home run, tying Mel Ott for 15th on the career list. " I think it does wonders for everybody confidence-wise. It was weird, but I felt like we were going to win the whole night. Even after Barry hit his home run," Atlanta's Chipper Jones said. . "I thought it looked a little dimmer, but my instincts said we were going to win." At Shea Stadium, struggling New York gave Dodgers ace Brown his worst pounding of the year, and AI Leiter pitched six scoreless innings in his return from the disabled list in an 8-0 Mets win.

On Friday it was N en (2-1) - entering with nine saves in 10 chances - who couldn't protect a lead against Atla.nta.

With Andruw Jones up, Nen bounced a 2-2 pitch to send the winning run home. Jose Cabrera (3-0) got the win with a scoreless ninth . Bonds' homer was his 17th this season. He also saved a run in the second, throwing out Paul Bako at the plate. · Greg Maddux, 10-0 in 10 starts against the Giants since coming to Atlanta in 1993, gave up four runs in seven innings. He allowed two home runs in 54 2-3 innings this season before serving up solo shots to ). T. Snow and Marvin Benard in the second.

Philadelphia scored five runs in rhe eighrh, highlighted by home runs from pinchhitter Marlon Anderson and Jimmy Rollins. The Cardinals rallied with two outs in the ninth. Bobby Bonilla hit a two-run double and Edgar Renteria a tworun single off Jose Mesa, who eventually closed it out for his 11th save.

Such brand names as Sinclair, Linco, Sterling, Sohio and Socony-Vacuum have passed .into history, at least in Gallipolis. In the 1930s, there were five Sinclair suti·ons in or near the dry: Folden's at Second and Pine, Shelton's at Second and Sycamore, Ward's out U.S. 35, Black's on Ohio 7 and Harry Griffith's, also on Ohio 7. Sinclair Oil was formed in 1916 by H~rw' Sinclair in Oklahomay&l 'by the 1930s was the largest independent oil company in the U.S. In due tiri1e Dino, the dinosaur, became the popular logo for Sinclair product;, which in the 1930s i!1duded Sinclair H-C gasoline. Sinclair, while still in business, has alnwst vacated Ohio with the Sinclair brand. Sterling Gas could be found at Second and Pine, Fourth and Pine, on Vine Street near the bridge and on Eastern Avenue. By the 1940s, some of the Sterling places had become Quaker State stations. Quaker State already t ' ~ L ·'· ~ Jim Sands HISTORY • had a big . hand in the motor oil market way beyond their own stations. In fact, for much of the 1930s . Sohio stations sold exclusively Quaker State Motor Oil. The ads for Sohio guaranteed winter starting. The. ad.

"There were so many of them in the fairway we had geese getting. hit by golf balls and getting killed," said assistant golf pro Andy Schweitzer. Exasperated club officials in suburban Pataskala resorted to a now common technique for getting rid of the geese, which are up to 4 feet tall and weigh up to 12 1/2 pounds . They hired . Mack, a shelty that races up and down the fairways each morning, scattering the geese elsewhere.

The dialogue takes place between Patsy . sound-alike Sherry Wilson and Patsy's real life superfan, Louise, played by Su Voycik Meredith. Louise uproariously holds up her end by hitting 'laugh line after laugh line · as Patsy deftly fields LQuise's volleys and serves up more than 25 Cline hits.

WASHINGTON (AP) - : Americans' appetite for imported cars, clodtes and toys sent the U.S. trade deficit syrging by a record amount in March, onlY, one month after a narrowing deficit had lifted forec~ts for overall economic growth. The Commerce Department said Friday that the trade,-imbalance jumped by 16.1 percent in March, to S31.2 billion.The $4.3 billion jump was the biggest one-month increase on record. Economists predicted the sharp deterioration in trade if! March would force a big downward revision in the gross domestic product for the January-March quaner.

J.C. Penney INick on back PLANO. Texas (AP) -The new chiliman and chief executivo: ofj.C. Penney Co. told shareholders Friday · that the troubled retailer is fuWiy moving in the right direction, has :unple c~ and is on track for wstained profitability. Allen Questrom got a generous reception from the shareholders, who preferred to ignore the company's long stock slide and focus on the fact that shares have more than doubled in price since January. Penney's troubles are not all behind it, however. A reminder came this week when Fitch became the second large rating agency to downgrade iiS credit to junk status.
