Wright-Patterson is one of five bases in the running to be the permanent home of Global Hawk. Ellsworth in South Dakota,Tinker in Oklahoma, and Edwards and Beale in California also are being considered, according to Lt. Col. Pat Bolibrzuch, Global Hawk prognm manager. • Ohio, lawmakers have been pressing the Air Force to select Wright-Patterson since last summer. · The base has "the expertise, the personnel, the knr,>w-how, the history - bar none;• said Charles Boesel, press secretary for Sen . Mike DeWine, R-Ohio. "It's something we're going to continue to work on." . ' Michael Gessel, press secretary• for Rep. Tony H aU, D-Ohio, said \he base lias a "serious shot" at landing the Global Hawk, in part because the program is managed there. . "Having this particular mission located at the base is a prestigious item because it is a highly visible new rnissjon 'and it fits in with the high-tech image of the b~se," Gessel said. He said officials on the base already have a great deal of expertise about the program and litde new construction would be needed. · There currendy are four Global Hawks, aU in various stag~s of · testing, at Edwards. Indians fan buys stocll in team CLEVELAND (AP) - Rick Barton has attendad every Cleveland Indians game at Jacobs Field since the ballpark opened in 199( But that wasn't enough for the lifelong fan, so he bought 101 shares of the team's stock. · · ,. On Mo!lday, Barton, 46, had to giYe up his financial scike in the ream as he an.d hundreds of other shareholders voted during a special meeting to apprpve the $320 million sale of the Indians. But Barton plans to hold onto one share· of the stock as a reminder that he was·a shareholder- a very minor one since Indians owner Richard Jacobs owns a controlling ·stake in the clul>'s stock. "It's got sentimental value. I think you'll find a lot of folks are , going to be h~lding onto their shares," said Barton as he sipped water at the Terrace; Club restaurant overlooking Jacobs Field. The 20-minute shareholders meeting Monday was just a formality since Jacobs already had agreed in N(lveniber to sell the team to attorney Larry Dolan and had gotten Major League Baseball owners to sign off on the deal last month. But while shareholders knew their votes would have no impact on the sale, they still wanted to witness the end of their role in the team and give club executives a tip or two on how to finally win Cleveland's first World Series tide since 1948. · Death row inmate wants to die COLUMBUS (AP) -A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for a de'ath row inmate who has asked that his appeals be dropped and his execution carried out. The evaluation ordered by U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley • . is a lengthy process and likely will delay Kevin Scudder's execution, scheduled for April 25. The purpose or the evaluation by three mental healt~ experts is to determine whether Scu.dder, 36, is competent to decide to waive his·appeals. His attorneys filed a motion arguing that he is not. · · Scudder was convicted in 1989 in Franklin County of raping and . fatally stabbing a 14-year-old Columbus girl. In his order issued on .Friday, Marbley said he will choose mental-health professionals from lists submitted by Atiorney Genera( Betty Montgomery's office and defense attorneys Adele Shank and ·· Sharon Ovington. · Each side will have until March 14 to object to any expert on the other's list. After considering any objections, Marbley will select one narpe from each list and add one expert of his choosing. Each expert will independently evaluate Scudder's mental condi·\ion, then testifY before Marbley at a competency hearing. . · Chris Davey, spokesman for Montgomery, said the attorney gen~tal's office will decide later whether to oppose' a possible delay in . · Scudder's execution. "We're ~ot prepared to say one way or the ·other at this point," he told The Columbus Dispatch for a story today. 1 dead, 7 injured in 1-70 pileup : LEWISBURG (AP) - 1 One person was killed and seven injured m a pileup of seven tractor-trailer ngs and four cars in the east- . bound lanes of Interstate 70; the State Highway Patrol said. .

The 20-minute shareholders meeting Monday was just a formality since Jacobs already had agreed in N(lveniber to sell the team to attorney Larry Dolan and had gotten Major League Baseball owners to sign off on the deal last month. But while shareholders knew their votes would have no impact on the sale, they still wanted to witness the end of their role in the team and give club executives a tip or two on how to finally win Cleveland's first World Series tide since 1948. · Death row inmate wants to die COLUMBUS (AP) -A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for a de'ath row inmate who has asked that his appeals be dropped and his execution carried out.

Bush must retool his ·entire presidential campaign · 1 MANCHESTER, N.H. - New Hampshire, this ornery state, decided nothing on primary dayl)Jesday except that the fight goes on for both the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations. ltice President AI Gore has won the first caucus and the first primary, but only narrowly here. Now he faces a .bruising; multi-state contest with former Sen. 13ill Bradley, D-N.J., who promises to continue questioning Gore's integrity. . On the Republican side, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, supposedly the anointed one, was .rejected by more than 60 percent of New Hampshire primary voters. Last week, he was rejected by 59 percent in· Iowa. This does not add up to a ringing endorsement of his leadership. Despite Sen.

Rather than spend the money on public assistance with no hope of the welfare rolls ever being reduced, dollars are being . directed to ~don't help recipients become, as the . system · calls it, self-sufficient. 1 · In its infant stages at this point, welfare-to-work demands a chance to • • rise or fall on its merits. It would be too much to expect success right away when such a program looks to break a cycle of dependency that has existed for generations, especially when new ideas are put into practice. These concepts need time to set if they will work. It is our hope they will, and ihe proposals are promising. The state has not insisted on a single plan that fits everyone; counties are charged with developing lheir own plans, submitting · them for approval and then ~tting the fl;lnding to carry them out. . Plans havebeen formed in Gallia ancl Meigs c~unties and are deserving of time to gauge the success rate. Various initiatives throughout the country have reduced the number of welfare clients, but for Ohio, new territory is being .explored with each county's plan. ' These plans attack some of the root quses 9fwelfare depend~ncy, such as lack of skills or education; others take unique approaches, including maintaining family stability by placing social case managers in the .scho!>ls to handle problems in the home teachers are not equipped to addtess, and should not have ~ .. :· Thi; indicates much thought has been put into local plans, a(ld that the state recognized the only way to tackle welfare r~form on a local basis was to allow those individuals and agenctes most familiar with it to come up with proposals. : Problems that create welfare in urban Ohio are entirely diff<rent from those in rural areas. The people working in ·human services, schools and courts deal with those problems on an everyday basis. Appropriately, the plans developed for Gallia and Meigs counties are aimed at the issues unique to their counties. · : The biggest problem is the lack of actual jobs for clients gettihg off welfare. That brings us into economic development and how crucial it js to bring attractive, well-paying positions here. I( is anothet impetu~ for local officials to intensif)( efforts to cut the high unemployment rates that plague southern Ohio. · That, of course, takes time. And it will take time for welfare · reform to succeed. We don't expect everyone who receives assisiance· will get otT the dole. Just like jobless rates, there will be those who will need help, and in rorrie cases, deservingly so. · . But the. goal of easing the expense and social implications behind welfare must be pursued if our area, as well as the nation, expects to remain viable.

What can you do to ensure that your rugs are always in optimum shape? First pick up litter off the floor as it accumulates. There are carpet sweepers that can be used for this quick picku'p, but they are not meant for heary-duty cleaning. Electric bruoms are a little more effective, but are still considered qnly good 'for light tasks . Run.ners and throw rugs can be placed in areas that have a great deal of traff!c. to prevent soil'from becoming embedded. . . However; to really prevent dirt from being ground into the carpet, as· well as to elimi~ate buildup of lint and dust, you will need to use a canister or upright. vacuum cleaner. The canister comes with a variety of attachments that allows use on both carpeting and wood floors . The tank-type vacuum permits easy mobility and is especially good for bi-.and tri-level homes. The upright vacuum uses both suctioning and a beater brush for big area rugs or for rooms with wall-to-wall carpeting. . .. Heavy traffic areas· will need to be vacuumed almost daily. More out-of-the-way sections could get by with once every week or two . . To get out embedded dirt, go over the same area six or seven times, overlapping the strokes a~ you move from one area to another. When there are spills, tre.at them as soon as they occur. · From time to time, you will need to use arug cleaner. You may choose to have your carpets professionally cleaned, or you may elect to do it yourself. If you decide to rent a rug shampooer,' follow the manufacturer's instructions explicitly. You may, instead, prefer to dean your carpet with one of the several spray f<Jam products on the market. Most wo~k by sl~ghtly wetting the pile so the detergent can clean effectively. Do not· allow the ·carpet to become too wet. If the backing on the carpet;ng does not remain dry, it may shrink and become discolored. The rug cleaner should cut grease, produce foam that will suspend the dirt particles, then dry so the suds can be vacuumed. The shampooirig should not only brighten the rug; but should also deodorize, and leave a protective coating. Before shampooing, test the cleaner on·'an inconspicuous ar!'a to be certain it will not harm the carpet.Va<Ouum thoroughly to .rem\)ve as much dirt as possible: Put plastic bags or waKed paper undj,r legs of immovable furniture to· prevent damage. Pretreat any spots or stains. Read and follow the directions on the product I~ bel ; then w~rk on one small area at a time. In a few ho)lrs the carpet should be d.ry enough to vacuum thoroughly. The results of your efforts will be an attractive and longer-lasting ~arpet. ,.

Now he faces a .bruising; multi-state contest with former Sen. 13ill Bradley, D-N.J., who promises to continue questioning Gore's integrity. . On the Republican side, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, supposedly the anointed one, was .rejected by more than 60 percent of New Hampshire primary voters. Last week, he was rejected by 59 percent in· Iowa.

Rather than spend the money on public assistance with no hope of the welfare rolls ever being reduced, dollars are being . directed to ~don't help recipients become, as the . system · calls it, self-sufficient. 1 · In its infant stages at this point, welfare-to-work demands a chance to • • rise or fall on its merits. It would be too much to expect success right away when such a program looks to break a cycle of dependency that has existed for generations, especially when new ideas are put into practice. These concepts need time to set if they will work. It is our hope they will, and ihe proposals are promising. The state has not insisted on a single plan that fits everyone; counties are charged with developing lheir own plans, submitting · them for approval and then ~tting the fl;lnding to carry them out. . Plans havebeen formed in Gallia ancl Meigs c~unties and are deserving of time to gauge the success rate. Various initiatives throughout the country have reduced the number of welfare clients, but for Ohio, new territory is being .explored with each county's plan. ' These plans attack some of the root quses 9fwelfare depend~ncy, such as lack of skills or education; others take unique approaches, including maintaining family stability by placing social case managers in the .scho!>ls to handle problems in the home teachers are not equipped to addtess, and should not have ~ .. :· Thi; indicates much thought has been put into local plans, a(ld that the state recognized the only way to tackle welfare r~form on a local basis was to allow those individuals and agenctes most familiar with it to come up with proposals. : Problems that create welfare in urban Ohio are entirely diff<rent from those in rural areas. The people working in ·human services, schools and courts deal with those problems on an everyday basis. Appropriately, the plans developed for Gallia and Meigs counties are aimed at the issues unique to their counties. · : The biggest problem is the lack of actual jobs for clients gettihg off welfare. That brings us into economic development and how crucial it js to bring attractive, well-paying positions here. I( is anothet impetu~ for local officials to intensif)( efforts to cut the high unemployment rates that plague southern Ohio. · That, of course, takes time. And it will take time for welfare · reform to succeed. We don't expect everyone who receives assisiance· will get otT the dole. Just like jobless rates, there will be those who will need help, and in rorrie cases, deservingly so. · . But the. goal of easing the expense and social implications behind welfare must be pursued if our area, as well as the nation, expects to remain viable.

The canister comes with a variety of attachments that allows use on both carpeting and wood floors . The tank-type vacuum permits easy mobility and is especially good for bi-.and tri-level homes. The upright vacuum uses both suctioning and a beater brush for big area rugs or for rooms with wall-to-wall carpeting. . .. Heavy traffic areas· will need to be vacuumed almost daily. More out-of-the-way sections could get by with once every week or two . . To get out embedded dirt, go over the same area six or seven times, overlapping the strokes a~ you move from one area to another. When there are spills, tre.at them as soon as they occur. · From time to time, you will need to use arug cleaner. You may choose to have your carpets professionally cleaned, or you may elect to do it yourself. If you decide to rent a rug shampooer,' follow the manufacturer's instructions explicitly. You may, instead, prefer to dean your carpet with one of the several spray f<Jam products on the market. Most wo~k by sl~ghtly wetting the pile so the detergent can clean effectively. Do not· allow the ·carpet to become too wet. If the backing on the carpet;ng does not remain dry, it may shrink and become discolored. The rug cleaner should cut grease, produce foam that will suspend the dirt particles, then dry so the suds can be vacuumed. The shampooirig should not only brighten the rug; but should also deodorize, and leave a protective coating. Before shampooing, test the cleaner on·'an inconspicuous ar!'a to be certain it will not harm the carpet.Va<Ouum thoroughly to .rem\)ve as much dirt as possible: Put plastic bags or waKed paper undj,r legs of immovable furniture to· prevent damage. Pretreat any spots or stains. Read and follow the directions on the product I~ bel ; then w~rk on one small area at a time. In a few ho)lrs the carpet should be d.ry enough to vacuum thoroughly. The results of your efforts will be an attractive and longer-lasting ~arpet. ,.

Congressional officials, speaking on condition of anonymiry, said Monday that Clinton would announce his decision during a speech at the American Association for the Allvancemenr of Science.

' BY JIM COUR WRITER SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle Mariners and the Cincinnati Reds are still talking about a deal involving Ken Griffey Jr. On Monday, new Mariners chief operating officer Howard Lincoln said he hopes to trade his team's All-Star center fielder to the Reds before spring training starts later this month. MarinerS pitchers and catchers report for the start of spring training on Feb. 17 in Peoria, Ariz. "He made the decision that he wished to be traded to a team closer to home, and we have been trying to accommodate him and his decision ever since:• Lincoln said Monday. "Right now, things are at a delicate stage." Griffey, eligible for.free agency after this season, asked in November for a trade ..The following month, he said he would accept a deal only if it sent him to Cincinnati. He turned down a trade to the New York Mets. "Clearly, this is going to get resolved, and we think fairly soon:' Lincoln said. Griffey, who has complained of receiving a death . threat mailed from the Seattle area, is wanted by the Reds, but not at the price set by the Mariners. Seattle general manager Pat Gillick ~nts second baseman Pokey Reese, and the Reds say they won't give him l!P· Reds closer Scott Williamson might be available, but the Reds also want the Mariners to .pay part of Griffey's $8.25 million salary this season, another stl!mbling block. . "I don't really have any' expectations one way or the other," Lincoln said. "We're in the midclle of a discussion and it could go either way. I'm certain~ ly not ·preoccupied with this. I'm much more conAP SPORTS ' ' cerned about. making sure we field a very competitive team for the 2000 season." Manager Lou Piniella has a lot of questions about his outfield, especially if he loses Griffey. Going into spring training, Jay Buhner is penciled in as the Mariners' right fielder although he is coming off season surgeries to his right ankle and right shoulder. · Left field, where free-agent signee Mark McLemore might be the regular, also remains a question mark for Seattle. So a third team might be involved in a Griffeyto-the-Reds trade in order to give the Mariners · some help in the outfield. · Cincinnati has all the leverage. If the Reds can't get Griffey in a trade with Seattle, they have said they intend to sign him as a free agen~ after the • ear1n 1re our cirt on our eeve?

' BY JIM COUR WRITER SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle Mariners and the Cincinnati Reds are still talking about a deal involving Ken Griffey Jr. On Monday, new Mariners chief operating officer Howard Lincoln said he hopes to trade his team's All-Star center fielder to the Reds before spring training starts later this month. MarinerS pitchers and catchers report for the start of spring training on Feb. 17 in Peoria, Ariz. "He made the decision that he wished to be traded to a team closer to home, and we have been trying to accommodate him and his decision ever since:• Lincoln said Monday. "Right now, things are at a delicate stage." Griffey, eligible for.free agency after this season, asked in November for a trade ..The following month, he said he would accept a deal only if it sent him to Cincinnati. He turned down a trade to the New York Mets. "Clearly, this is going to get resolved, and we think fairly soon:' Lincoln said. Griffey, who has complained of receiving a death . threat mailed from the Seattle area, is wanted by the Reds, but not at the price set by the Mariners. Seattle general manager Pat Gillick ~nts second baseman Pokey Reese, and the Reds say they won't give him l!P· Reds closer Scott Williamson might be available, but the Reds also want the Mariners to .pay part of Griffey's $8.25 million salary this season, another stl!mbling block. .

Manager Lou Piniella has a lot of questions about his outfield, especially if he loses Griffey. Going into spring training, Jay Buhner is penciled in as the Mariners' right fielder although he is coming off season surgeries to his right ankle and right shoulder. · Left field, where free-agent signee Mark McLemore might be the regular, also remains a question mark for Seattle. So a third team might be involved in a Griffeyto-the-Reds trade in order to give the Mariners · some help in the outfield. · Cincinnati has all the leverage.
