DNC official! on Thursday reported raising $26 million in the first three months of the year while the Republican National Conunittee said it had raised $24 million in the same period. The Democrats also reported having more than $21 million on hand at the beginning of April - four times t , amount it had at dill time four years a . The DNC had S3 million in debt, mea ng it had S18 million to spend. The C, which reported no debt, also had 8 million. Ed Rendell, general chainnan of the DNC, credited much of his party's fundraising surge to Clinton, who he said helped raise about $13 million in the first three months of the year. "I attribute it to just sterling work by the president, who was indefatigable in going out there and helping us;' Rendell said Thursday. RNC Chairman Jim Nicholson boasted of the Republicans' 55,000 new donors during the period. "There's never been .such excitement in the Republican ranks;' he said. . · Since Jan.

Rendell said the party is preparing to rul'! ads between the primaries and the August noininating conventions, bui only If the PALM BEAC,H, Fla. (AP) O n a south Florida fund-raising mission in Elian Gonzalez's borrowed backyard, Vice President AI Gore is trying to change the subject from tl-iat little boy's saga to more reliable winners for him - Me~licare and the strong economy. This morning, he was leading a public discussion on whether Medicare coverage for prescription drugs should be part of the Democratic Parry's official platform. Winding up for the discu~ SJOn, Gore told patrons at a S 10,000-per-plate fund-raiser that his support for the Medicare t•xpansion is one big difference · between him and his Republican ' opponent,Texas Gov. prt•sidential (;corge W. Bush. Gore also celebrated the 99-0 Senate vote earlier on Thursday reJecting the $483 billion, five- splitting with President Clinton and other Democrats last week and calling for U.S. residency for the child and his family. Before Gore left Washington on Thursday, residents of the suburban·Washington neighborhood where Elian 's father is staying at the home of a Cuban diplomat." sniffed at Gore's motives in endorsing special residency. "He had no business to ever step there .... I think he is doing this to get votes," said Kitry Strauss. Bush, who agrees with Gqre on giving the Gonzalez family residency, repeated suggestions Thursday, on a campaign trip to California, that Gore's stand amounted to political opportunism. Activists in Aorida's CubanAmerican community are adamant about keeping Elian here. aggressive Cahfornta campa1gn inee said in Sacramento. uThat's •, wishful thinking on the part of AI Gore." On his campaign plane, Bush personally promised CampbeU a vigorous California campaign, Campbell said. 1 "I think it's prerty clear that if Governor Bush does well in California, it's going to help the statewide ~ ticket," Campbell said on the plane after meeting with the Texas governor. "If it doesn't happen, if he's doing very badly, well, we saw what happens when the top of the ticket doesn't do well before in California:· he said. He was referring to the 1998 California election~. when GOP gubernatorial nominee Dan Lungren lost co Democrat Gray Davis in a landslide, and all Republicans but two were swept from statewide office. To CampbeU and to many political analysts, control of Congress could also hinge on Bush's . . perforrr!ance in California. The congressman named five close congressional races in the state that could help Republicans maintain or lose their thin majoriry in the House, and said Bush's showing here could tip the scales. President Bush all but conceded California to Bill ·Clinton in his 1992 re-election effort, and lost both the stare and the White House. The Texas governor, who was <;leeply involved in his father's campaign, said he had learned from the experience.

A trial for convicted murderer Aaron Gray on his June 1999 escape from the Mason County Jail has been continued, a spokesworrian for Prosecuting ,Attorney Diana Johnson said. Gray w.is ·ihdicted in January on a felony charge of escaping the custody of the counry sheriff. He was to stand trial Tuesd~y. but his attorney, Daniel Corey of Poca, filed a moti_on for continuance. According to Corey's continuance motion, "due to the fact that unforeseen developments involving the unauthorized, unconstitutiona! and without council visits by the Mason Counry Sheriff's Department to my client in the Regional Jail have taken place in the last three weeks. Any damage resulting thereof; the defendant is entided to investigate." A depury circuit clerk said the date for the continuance has not been set yet. Corey submitted a letter, dated March 31, to Circuit Judge Clarence Watt on Gray's visit from Sheriff Troy "Sharry" Huffman and Invesrigator Cure McConihay. "A5 you know .from reading the Point Pleasant Register, _SherIff'Troy Hutlinan and Investigator Cyrt McComhay have pa1d unscheduled, unauthorized and impermissible visits to my client, Aaron Gray, at th~ South Central Regional Jail," the letter states. "1 have interviewed the correctional officers at said faciliry, and they inform me that the officers claimed they Gray were present for an 'attornev visit,"' a.ccording to the letter. ' The letter continues, "not only did these two officers fail to even remotely attempt to contact my office, they expressly engaged in an attempt to deny my client his right to counsel as well as grossly un ethical conduct. · "Simply because the former plea has been upheld by the trial court, this does not give these police officers the right to speak to my client without my permission in an ongoing procedural appeal, on the merits, with regard to the attempt by Mr. Gray to gain a new trial (based upon Mr. Feytons failure to adequately prepare my client for trial and/ or plea)."

COLUMBUS (AP) - Some ·of Gov, Bob Taft's proposed $l.8 billion construction budget will pay for repairs close to home: the g<;>vernor's mansion in suburban Columbus. Included in Taft's capital budget for 2001-2002 are requests for $81,000 for repairs and electrical upgrades to the 75-year-old house in Bexley and $206,000 for an overhaul of the man sion's security system. The 25-room stone mansion in the Jacobean Revival architectural style was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It also has 12 bathrooms. More than 7,000 visitors have toured the residence since Taft took office in January 1999, Taft spokesman Scott Milburn said Friday. "It's really more than a place where the governor and the first lady sleep;• Milburn said. "It's a conference center, it's a show place for Ohio history and culture. The Tafts want to be sure they continue to be good stewards of this historic home." Lawmakers continue to debate the proposed capital budget, introduced last week. House Finance Chairman Robert Corbin, a Dayton Republican, has. scheduled a tentative vote in the finance committee Tuesday. · Also induded in the budget is $500,000 to repaint parts of the Statehouse rotunda, where a "entilation problem . has apparently caused moisture to damage the paint. A $121 million renovation to the 139-year-old Statehouse was completed in 1996. It appears that a difference in humidity temperature · and between an attic above the ~lun­ da and the air conditionecHbtunda area is responsible for the moisture, said Ron Keller, executive director of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board.

COLUMBUS (AP) - Some ·of Gov, Bob Taft's proposed $l.8 billion construction budget will pay for repairs close to home: the g<;>vernor's mansion in suburban Columbus. Included in Taft's capital budget for 2001-2002 are requests for $81,000 for repairs and electrical upgrades to the 75-year-old house in Bexley and $206,000 for an overhaul of the man sion's security system. The 25-room stone mansion in the Jacobean Revival architectural style was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It also has 12 bathrooms. More than 7,000 visitors have toured the residence since Taft took office in January 1999, Taft spokesman Scott Milburn said Friday. "It's really more than a place where the governor and the first lady sleep;• Milburn said. "It's a conference center, it's a show place for Ohio history and culture. The Tafts want to be sure they continue to be good stewards of this historic home." Lawmakers continue to debate the proposed capital budget, introduced last week. House Finance Chairman Robert Corbin, a Dayton Republican, has. scheduled a tentative vote in the finance committee Tuesday. · Also induded in the budget is $500,000 to repaint parts of the Statehouse rotunda, where a "entilation problem . has apparently caused moisture to damage the paint. A $121 million renovation to the 139-year-old Statehouse was completed in 1996.

TODAY IN HISTO.RY WEEDY'S VIEW: Forget theories • Phenomena of various aspects of life are interesting to observe.

Did non-living matter somehow give rise to simple living organisms that' subsequently reproduced and divenified generating all life forms? Is our earth in a specific orbit around the sun, with a specific tilt of the rotational axis, because of some catacl~mic explosion? Or, was there an intelligent, plan and design?

Fortunate are we not that the percentages of oxygen and nitrogen are not reversed? Biology is filled with enormously fascinating information. Consider the trilobite eye that has lens preserved in the fossil record. Unlike the human eye which is composed of a single lens, trilobite eyes have a very special double lens dc:Sign with anywhere from 100 to 15,000 lenses in each eye, made of inorganic calcite.

The Division of Environmental Protection is trying to streamline its operations to make better use of the staff it has, and will provide a plan for added staff by June 12, DEP Director Mike . Castle said Thursday. "The staffing and resource n~eds in WDEP, when compared to surrounding states' mining programs, are at a critical shortage," Castle said in a letter sent Thursday to AI Klein, regional director for the U.S. Office of Surface Mining. In a Feb. 8 letter, Klein gave the DEP 60 days to come up with a new staffing plan. Castle said the agency's revenue, derived in part from fees on the coal industry, ha s fall en along with the number of mining permits issued by the agency since the lawsuit was filed in mid-1998. "WVDEP does not have sufficient funding to maintain the current program at existing staff levels due to the economic impacts from the Bragg v.. Robertson litigation," Castle said in his letter to Klein .. "WVDEP's ability to sec ure funding for the existing operations as well as additional needs to increase staff to maintain the program is being carefully evaluated," Castle said.

"We could operate like the Wal-Mart of airports," Atkinson said during a recent meeting with Charleston Daily Mail editors. The airport earns about $340,000 a year from fees charged for airplanes landing at the airport, Atkinson said. r Atkinson said the airport could make up the revenue through its parking garage, which produces about $335,000 in profit every year. It could operate that way for at least six years, then would need money from the parking garage to make capital improvements. "It would be a board decision," Atkinson said. "It's some.1) thing I wo uld not hesita te to suggest to them ."

(AP) Weirton Steel Corp. will learn late this summer whether its tentative ' victory in a battle with foreign st~1el ma~en will translate to five yean of protection against unfair pricing. The U.S. Commerce Department on Thursday imposed temporary 95 percent duties on imported tin plate and tin-free steel from Jap~n. Weirton Steel is the nation's eighth-largest producer of hotrolled steel and the largest maker · of tin mill products. Tin products account for nearly 40 pen:ent of its revenues. The Commerce Department will issue its formal recommencla. lion in mid-June, and the International Trade Commission will rule in early August whether the penalties should stand. If the commission sides with the Commerce Department, the fees will last five years. If not, the money will be refunded. ATTENTION HOMEBUYERS Ueen dreaming of owning your own home?

In complaints filed last year, Weirton Steel accused Japan of "dumping;' or selling its tin products at prices that violated U.S. trade bws. Japanese tin imports grew 74 percent from 200,000 tons in 1997 to 348,000 tons in 1999. The volume grew by another 20 percent in January.

(AP) -West Virginia's mining regulatory agency is having trouble coming up with money for the added staff required by the settlement of a lawsuit challenging the way the state issues permits . The Division of Environmental Protection is trying to streamline its operations to make better use of the staff it has, and will provide a plan for added staff by June 12, DEP Director Mike . Castle said Thursday. "The staffing and resource n~eds in WDEP, when compared to surrounding states' mining programs, are at a critical shortage," Castle said in a letter sent Thursday to AI Klein, regional director for the U.S. Office of Surface Mining. In a Feb. 8 letter, Klein gave the DEP 60 days to come up with a new staffing plan. Castle said the agency's revenue, derived in part from fees on the coal industry, ha s fall en along with the number of mining permits issued by the agency since the lawsuit was filed in mid-1998. "WVDEP does not have sufficient funding to maintain the current program at existing staff levels due to the economic impacts from the Bragg v.. Robertson litigation," Castle said in his letter to Klein .. "WVDEP's ability to sec ure funding for the existing operations as well as additional needs to increase staff to maintain the program is being carefully evaluated," Castle said.

(AP) -Yeager Airport could drop the fees it charges airlines if it has to compete with a regional airport, director Rick Atkinson says. "We could operate like the Wal-Mart of airports," Atkinson said during a recent meeting with Charleston Daily Mail editors. The airport earns about $340,000 a year from fees charged for airplanes landing at the airport, Atkinson said. r Atkinson said the airport could make up the revenue through its parking garage, which produces about $335,000 in profit every year. It could operate that way for at least six years, then would need money from the parking garage to make capital improvements. "It would be a board decision," Atkinson said. "It's some.1) thing I wo uld not hesita te to suggest to them ."

Weirton 'expects victory .in steel-dumping case . WEIRTON, W.Va. (AP) Weirton Steel Corp. will learn late this summer whether its tentative ' victory in a battle with foreign st~1el ma~en will translate to five yean of protection against unfair pricing. The U.S. Commerce Department on Thursday imposed temporary 95 percent duties on imported tin plate and tin-free steel from Jap~n. Weirton Steel is the nation's eighth-largest producer of hotrolled steel and the largest maker · of tin mill products. Tin products account for nearly 40 pen:ent of its revenues. The Commerce Department will issue its formal recommencla. lion in mid-June, and the International Trade Commission will rule in early August whether the penalties should stand. If the commission sides with the Commerce Department, the fees will last five years. If not, the money will be refunded. ATTENTION HOMEBUYERS Ueen dreaming of owning your own home?

In complaints filed last year, Weirton Steel accused Japan of "dumping;' or selling its tin products at prices that violated U.S. trade bws. Japanese tin imports grew 74 percent from 200,000 tons in 1997 to 348,000 tons in 1999. The volume grew by another 20 percent in January. At the sanie time, Japan's share of the U.S. market has surged from 5 percent in 1997 to 13.5 percent in January, Weirton Steet said. "Nothing can better demonstrate the causal relationship betwe~n the imports from Japan and our tin mill operations than the fact ' that several of our major customers did not take tonnage in 1999 that already was under contract," Weirton CEO Richard K.

The · verdict sets the stage for a possible multibillion-dollar punitive-damages verdict that cigarette makers fear could bankrupt them. A third smoker was awatded $5.8 million in the ca.Se but the jury decided he couldn't collect because the four-year statute of limi- rations. had run out. The judge said he would decide later how to handle that awatd . "I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling," plaintiff Frank Amodeo said, even though the jury blocked his award. The three smokers represent an estimated 500,000 sick Floridians in. the first classaction lawsuit against Big Tobacco to reach · trial. Friday's verdict represents just compensatory damages, which cover medical expenses, pain . and suffering. Once a jury decides compensatory damages are warranted, it can consider ordering punitive damages, which are meant to punish. · The same juey, which began hearing the case 18 months ago, ruled Ian July that five cigarette companiet and two industey groups conspired to produce a dangerous, addictive product that causes 29 illnesses, incl uding, cancer and heart disease. . Despite having lost the first two rounds in court, .a lawyer for the industry remains co nfident that the final punitive-damage phase will not bring a ruinous $300 billion verdict covering all 500,000 smokers feared by some within the industry. "We're looking forward to trying the next phase of this case;• said Dan Webb, the lead tobacco attorney.

The · verdict sets the stage for a possible multibillion-dollar punitive-damages verdict that cigarette makers fear could bankrupt them. A third smoker was awatded $5.8 million in the ca.Se but the jury decided he couldn't collect because the four-year statute of limi- rations. had run out. The judge said he would decide later how to handle that awatd . "I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling," plaintiff Frank Amodeo said, even though the jury blocked his award. The three smokers represent an estimated 500,000 sick Floridians in. the first classaction lawsuit against Big Tobacco to reach · trial. Friday's verdict represents just compensatory damages, which cover medical expenses, pain . and suffering. Once a jury decides compensatory damages are warranted, it can consider ordering punitive damages, which are meant to punish. · The same juey, which began hearing the case 18 months ago, ruled Ian July that five cigarette companiet and two industey groups conspired to produce a dangerous, addictive product that causes 29 illnesses, incl uding, cancer and heart disease. . Despite having lost the first two rounds in court, .a lawyer for the industry remains co nfident that the final punitive-damage phase will not bring a ruinous $300 billion verdict covering all 500,000 smokers feared by some within the industry. "We're looking forward to trying the next phase of this case;• said Dan Webb, the lead tobacco attorney.

Sunday, April 9, 2000 Pomeroy • Middleport • Galllpol.., Ohio • Point' Pl....nt, WV ~· B4 • 6unu, 111mt1-6tnttntl • . l'edro Martinez pitched masterfully with an overpowering two-hitter against t~e Mariners. The Red Sox scored only two runs , but that will be plenty on days t\lat Pedro pitches. · • ~ome writers were quick to point o'ut tliat Mike Camero n, one of the players Sc;ttle got for Ken Griffey Jr., was 0 for '!; w1th three strikeouts against Martinez. ~o. how · was Junior doing that day in <;incinnati' Do ·these writers believe that q riffcy could have d one better' The sig~1ificance of Pedro is that he is the most dominant player in the game, not G riffey. If healthy, he will give Boston at least 18 victoncs and a chance tO ~•p-end the Yankees in the American League East. Put Martinez on any team .1 nd they become an instant competitor to r the postse'lon. Reds fans discqvered why Colorado was w11ling to trade them Dante Bichette during the off.:season. Bichette wiD hit home runs tor the Reds, but he's a hockey player in right field. One of the reasons for Cincinnati's success last year was its superior defense. Bichette is a 'player :who ,will cause some problems and headac~es for his manager and fans . In an 8-5 loss to the Brewm this past week, Bichette homered and threw a playc'r out at the plate. That is the upside of Dante's performance. He was also responsible for two miscues that resulted in two Milwaukee runs. That is the downside of Bicherte's performance.

Bichette wiD hit home runs tor the Reds, but he's a hockey player in right field. One of the reasons for Cincinnati's success last year was its superior defense. Bichette is a 'player :who ,will cause some problems and headac~es for his manager and fans . In an 8-5 loss to the Brewm this past week, Bichette homered and threw a playc'r out at the plate. That is the upside of Dante's performance. He was also responsible for two miscues that resulted in two Milwaukee runs. That is the downside of Bicherte's performance. He wiD have a clifficult time adjusting from grass to playing on the faster astroturf in Cincinnati this season. The feel good story of the season has to be the spirited return of Braves first basenian Andres Galarraga.Andrel misse d last season because of cancer treatment. 1-Je homered in his first game ba ck. If that wasn't enough, last Wednesday he was 2 for 3 with a walk and a crucial Opetiing week The biggest steal in the major leagues is Twins manager Tom Kelly, who makes only $850,000 a year. He's one of the best in th e business and is underpaid.

Yesteryear is a six-week program that takes place every spring at the Meigs Museum. Fifth graders in schools,' both public and private, along wifh home schooled students, are invited to participate. One class i~ scheduled for each Tuesday or Thursday session. In advance, P1e students submit their preferences fot which pioneer skill they would like to learn. · About live students are assigned to each area which ~ taught by at least' two senior volunteers. The hands-on activities include .creating candles by dipping wicks in hot wax, making n09dles and breads 'from "s<:ratch," forming rag baskets from fabric wrapped rope, constructing' mot)ey pouches from leather, and doing embroidery wo.rk, quilting anp tin punching. At the end of the day, each student has completed something to take home. Yesteryear began as a traveling exhibit and demonstration program. For the first two years it was taken from school to school. The h.Ssle of hauling around the materials and supplies and then having to "make do" with whatever facilities Were available bec;une too much for the volunteers. It was decided a permanent '!home" was needed iNesteryear was to continue. .

Each one of us was in Eden. "We, too, reached for th e forbidden fruit" and decided we would determine good and evil for ourselves rather than letting God be God. Nothing could run more against the grain of American popular culture, he admits. Some contemporary Christians even tried to clean up the old hymn "Amazing Grace." 'Instead of God's grace " that saved a wretch like me," it was rewritten as "that loved a soul like me." We'd prefer to pin the Crucifixion on "the really big-tim e sinners" like Stalin, Neuhaus says. But Alexander Solzhenitsyn knew that "the line between good and evil run ~ through every human · heart." .. The next step: "Something must be done about it. Things must be set right." Although "the religious marketplace is crowded with peddlers of peace and mind and peace of soul," Neuhaus spurns "the narcotic of denial." Finally, "if things are to be set·co right, if justice is . to be done, somebody else will have to do it." We humans are incapable, so it's up to God. A. St. Paul . . Pla•e ... Qltst. ....

Yesteryear is a six-week program that takes place every spring at the Meigs Museum. Fifth graders in schools,' both public and private, along wifh home schooled students, are invited to participate. One class i~ scheduled for each Tuesday or Thursday session. In advance, P1e students submit their preferences fot which pioneer skill they would like to learn. · About live students are assigned to each area which ~ taught by at least' two senior volunteers. The hands-on activities include .creating candles by dipping wicks in hot wax, making n09dles and breads 'from "s<:ratch," forming rag baskets from fabric wrapped rope, constructing' mot)ey pouches from leather, and doing embroidery wo.rk, quilting anp tin punching. At the end of the day, each student has completed something to take home. Yesteryear began as a traveling exhibit and demonstration program. For the first two years it was taken from school to school. The h.Ssle of hauling around the materials and supplies and then having to "make do" with whatever facilities Were available bec;une too much for the volunteers. It was decided a permanent '!home" was needed iNesteryear was to continue. .

Each one of us was in Eden. "We, too, reached for th e forbidden fruit" and decided we would determine good and evil for ourselves rather than letting God be God. Nothing could run more against the grain of American popular culture, he admits. Some contemporary Christians even tried to clean up the old hymn "Amazing Grace." 'Instead of God's grace " that saved a wretch like me," it was rewritten as "that loved a soul like me." We'd prefer to pin the Crucifixion on "the really big-tim e sinners" like Stalin, Neuhaus says. But Alexander Solzhenitsyn knew that "the line between good and evil run ~ through every human · heart." .. The next step: "Something must be done about it. Things must be set right." Although "the religious marketplace is crowded with peddlers of peace and mind and peace of soul," Neuhaus spurns "the narcotic of denial." Finally, "if things are to be set·co right, if justice is . to be done, somebody else will have to do it." We humans are incapable, so it's up to God. A. St. Paul . . Pla•e ... Qltst. ....

(AP) -Just two days before Christmas, 95-year-old Lily Coffina~ began packing up her belongings to move to a new nursing home because her old one was closing abruptly. It had gone broke. , "It was awful, )ust awful," Coffrnat:t said. "We thought they w~re joking, you know, and they said, 'No, you've got tQ be out by the 23rd of December.' I had to get a new place in a hurry." The. move by Coffman and about 60 fellow nursing home residents is one that is repeating itself around the nation. More than 1,600 of the nation's 17,000 nursing homes have flled for bankruptcy since last fall as they struggle with federal funding cuts, a lack of local or state money, increased insurance costs and tougher quality-care standards. For some, the bankruptcy filings liave resulted from had business decisions, heavy. debt loads and claims of defrauding government health care pro. grams. Most of the nursing homes in bank'ruptcy proceedings have remained open, despite plummeting stock prices for corporate properties, while they try to get their finances in order. Many other homes have closed or laid off employees. · ! In Nevada and New Mexico, nearly half the homes owned by big chains and affiliated with the American Health Care Association filed for bankruptcy protection. "The system is crashing around us," said Michael Clark, executive director of the Nevada Health Care Association. "With all the bankruptcies we're facing, it's a disaster right now.''

(AP) -Just two days before Christmas, 95-year-old Lily Coffina~ began packing up her belongings to move to a new nursing home because her old one was closing abruptly. It had gone broke. , "It was awful, )ust awful," Coffrnat:t said. "We thought they w~re joking, you know, and they said, 'No, you've got tQ be out by the 23rd of December.' I had to get a new place in a hurry." The. move by Coffman and about 60 fellow nursing home residents is one that is repeating itself around the nation. More than 1,600 of the nation's 17,000 nursing homes have flled for bankruptcy since last fall as they struggle with federal funding cuts, a lack of local or state money, increased insurance costs and tougher quality-care standards. For some, the bankruptcy filings liave resulted from had business decisions, heavy. debt loads and claims of defrauding government health care pro. grams. Most of the nursing homes in bank'ruptcy proceedings have remained open, despite plummeting stock prices for corporate properties, while they try to get their finances in order. Many other homes have closed or laid off employees. · ! In Nevada and New Mexico, nearly half the homes owned by big chains and affiliated with the American Health Care Association filed for bankruptcy protection. "The system is crashing around us," said Michael Clark, executive director of the Nevada Health Care Association. "With all the bankruptcies we're facing, it's a disaster right now.''

This year will be a unique year for leasing, and it is the only opportunity that producers and quota leaders will have to set a good precedent for upholding tobacco proliuction in Gallia County. Many owners and producers with long-standing business relationships will compromise in order to keep the quota in the county, while other parties wiD not agree. As a result, lease prices will be highly variable, and more personal than ever. As the offen are called in, I encourage quota holders to remember how important tobacco production is to Gallia County, and how short we are on quota this year. At the same time, I encourage producers to continue to build solid business relal:ionships with the owners, and consider the outside factors, as you make offers for the quota. Not everyone will be able to reach agreements on lease price, but at least everyone will agree that lingering conflicts are unproductive.

But just because the money is coming in doesn't•mean shareholders are guaranteed returns like last ye~r's. Looking at the numbers, you'd think everybody afld their brother had stock fund fever. In February alone, net sales into equity funds hit $39.1 billion, according to Financial ' Research Corporation, a financial services consulting finn in.,Boston. Most of that money went into the very popular technology, mid-cap and growth fund categories. Some of the larger fund families picking up lots .o f new loot include Jarius, INVESCO and PBHG. Smaller families seeing heavy cash inflows include Firsthand Funds, RS Investment Management and Munder. While money ·coming in is typically sweet news fo r fund families, be careful not to get caught in the herd mentality and think that the only way Lotal retu rns for stock- particularly tech- funds ~ an go is up. Yes, last year more than 30 funds had lata! returns of over 100 percent, but never forget: Trees don't grow to the sky. "Whatever happens in a given year i~ anybody's guess," says Scott Cooley, senior analyst at Morningst;~r. "But with the Fed hikil)g rates and (stock) evaluations near aU-time highs, people ought to expect ·less rather than more in terms of future ~ re turns." Cooley thinks shareholders should not expect triple-digit gains from the funds. He said that after the great run that stocks prices and stcx:k funds have had, the time comes ·when performances return to the norm. According to Ibbotson Associates, a Chicago-based research firm, 11.35 percent 1s the average annual return of S&P 500 stocks from 1926 through 1999. And speaking of performance, Eaton Vance wants to be the fund family you think of if aftertax performance is on your mind. The Boston-bas~d Eaton Vance family of funds Kneen • says that they are the only fund family for which tax-managed funds account for more than half of their equity lund assets. Because performance is the name of the mutu~ al, fund game, most equity _funqs portfolio JJWIagers are more concerned with achieving competitive tow returns on their funds rather than managing them to keep the.ir dividend and capital gains low. The goal for ~hose that are managed with an eye toward after-tax returns do their best to make sure fund shareholders aren 't hit with high dividend and capital gains distributions each year'. But tax-managed funds aren't for everyone. If your mutual fund investments are held in a qualified retirement account such as an IRA, SEP-IRA, 401 (k), or Keogh account, tax-managed won 't mean much to you. l!leally, tax-managed funds are best suited for long-term investors whose mutual fund accounts are held in their personal portfolios and are subject to tax consequences each year. The idea behind tax-managed accounts is a reduce-and-defer one. The folks at Eaton Vance say that portfolio holdings in these funds can reduce tax consequences .. by shifting the mix of returns towanl distributions of long-term gains and away from income and short-term gains distributions, and deferring taxes by holding most successful investment well beyond the one-year holding period necessary for long-term gains treatment." So tax-managed funds often invest their assets into· low-yielding growth stocks purchased for the long-haul and have portfolios with low turnovers. How much difference can a fund managed for after-tax returns mean performance wise? In research prepared for Eaton Vance by KPMG, hypothetical examples show that over a 20-year holding period on an initial investment of$10,000 for an investor in the highest federal income tax bracket, investors could receive 25 percent more when liquidating the investment. That breaks down to an annual after-tax rate of return .that's 1.2 percent higher per year than a fund not managed for after-tax returns.

The Ohio Department of Education has acknowledged the situation, but has no specific number yet on how \videspread the stay-home action was, the Akron Beacon Journal ·reported Monday. Tammi House pulled her out of son, Brendan, Wadsworth's Valley View elementary before the test and has decided to. let him be home schooled. "The children are learning a lot of nothing because they are being taught to that test," House told the Beacon Journal. Tests are given in grades four, six, nine and 12. But it is the fourth-grade exam that is drawing the most attention because of the age of students involved and related pressure on teachers and schools dis- THE RIGHT WAY -BrushIng your teeth the right way Is Important to preve.ntlng cavl· ties.

But they say the Legislature has not followed through on promises to pay for these efforts. And the newspaper reports that there is little sciedtific evidence to·support retention as a way to achieve l'ong-term academic gains. In Cleveland, for example, more than 12,500 children flunk every year, nearly a fifth of the district's population. Yet, only 20 percent of the district's Q,inth graders passed all parts of the proficiency test last year and its 33 percent graduation rate is one of the state's worst. The newspaper's analysis also found: • The statewide retention rate has increased 25 percent, frOm 2.8 percent in 1993 to 3.5 percent in .1999. • About 64,000 children were retained last year. The potential cost of educating them for an extra: year is $380 million. • Fifty-seven percent of those who failed attended one of the state's 21 urban school distric~. 42 percent are black and 15 pf the 20 districts with the highest retention rates in kindergarten through eighth grade are ,classified as poverty or high poverty distticts. -TAKING AIM ...;.

They're one of those e;xceptions to the adage, "If you like it, it can't be good for you." One cup of whole strawberries (above• five ounces) contains a mere 43 calories. For that, you get: • A whopping 82 milligranu of Vitamin C. The reconunlmded daily amount for people 15 and older is only 60 milligranu, so if you eat a cup of strawberries, you can ski~ Vitamin C supplement for the !lay. • An incredible 3.3 granu of fiber. The recommended amount is about 20 or 25 granu a day (11.5 grams per 1,000 calories), but most Americans don't consume half that. A cup of strawber- .'
