I LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF 'lhomas J. Willoughby ' operators without app~al AKRON (AP) - A woman who ordered a skateboarding magazi1e as a gift for her 15-year-old son received an X- rated publication - a mistake that angered both her and Larry Flynt, who owns the two. . "I was horrified," Becky Barrington said. "I don't want my son : seeing that stuff." Flynt already has fired the employee whose mistake caused Hustler Taboo magazine to be mailed to all subscribers of Big Brother Skateboarding, a Flynt spokesman said. , Jerry Awang, vice president of operations for Flynt's publishing house, said his boss was "livid" over the switch. He would not say, how many copies were mailed in error because the company does not release circulation data. Barrington said the company apologized to her when she complained, However, she plans to cancel the Big Brother subscription for her son, Justin Noga, now that she knows who owns the skate~ . boarding magazine. "I don't take a stand on many issues, but (Flynt) is pretty bizarre and I don't want to make that guy any richer,'' she said. Ing. percentage need a lot of help." A 1997 law created the fourth-grade guarantee, which says students who don't" pass the fourth-grade reading tes[ cannot advanG_e to 6fth-grade. The iaw takes effect in the 2001-2002 school year. , Susan Tave Zelman, state schools superintendent, said the report mirrors recommend3i;ions the state education board approved in March. " It reinforces th~ board's position about the importance of literacy," Zelman said. Records destl oyed ·by . '. · Woman gets pom by mistake She is sending· copies of the report to every 0 hio superintendent. She also will recommend more state investment in early grades -in the- Department of Education's next two-ye.ar budget. According to the report, 60 percent of Ohio fourth-graders - about 76,000 passed the 1999 reading test. Of the 40 pet cent who failed , a rmjority almost passed and probably could succeed with some extra help. But 1.6 percent of children who failed the test, or about 20,000, would need· intensive help to pass. While the overall percentage of students passing the test grew from 48 percent in'1998 to 60 percent in t999, the rate of those with serious reading problems who didn't come close to passing dropped only slightly, from 17 percent to 16 percent, the report said. The report recommends revitwing . the tut thoroughly, helping children' ·in lower grt~dts become more prepared for the test, and giving children until the fifth-grade to pass it.

COLUMBUS (AP) - The state paid $65.7 million in overtime to state employees last year . with almost a third of that -going to prison workers, a newspaper reported Sunday. A computer analysis of payroU record!; by The · Columbus Dispatch showed- that Ohio sheUed · out ~n av~rage of $2,168 apiece to die 30,300 employees who earned overtime. Department of Rehabilitation and Correction workers'· overtime earnings totaled $20.8 million. Bart Martelli, a nurse at the Orient Correctional 'Institution's Frazie.r Health Care Center, earned $61,854 last year in overtime, more than anyone else in ,state government. The 1,808 extra houn more than doubled his \>ase salary of $52,463. Prisons spokesman Joe Andrews said the 24-hour nature of prison work helps explain the department's overtime. "We're the largest institutional agency," Andrews said. "In most cases, we·can't le,t a position go unfilled. When someone is sick, on leave or vacation, we have to pay overtime."

I LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF 'lhomas J. Willoughby ' operators without app~al AKRON (AP) - A woman who ordered a skateboarding magazi1e as a gift for her 15-year-old son received an X- rated publication - a mistake that angered both her and Larry Flynt, who owns the two. . "I was horrified," Becky Barrington said. "I don't want my son : seeing that stuff." Flynt already has fired the employee whose mistake caused Hustler Taboo magazine to be mailed to all subscribers of Big Brother Skateboarding, a Flynt spokesman said. , Jerry Awang, vice president of operations for Flynt's publishing house, said his boss was "livid" over the switch. He would not say, how many copies were mailed in error because the company does not release circulation data. Barrington said the company apologized to her when she complained, However, she plans to cancel the Big Brother subscription for her son, Justin Noga, now that she knows who owns the skate~ . boarding magazine. "I don't take a stand on many issues, but (Flynt) is pretty bizarre and I don't want to make that guy any richer,'' she said. Ing. percentage need a lot of help." A 1997 law created the fourth-grade guarantee, which says students who don't" pass the fourth-grade reading tes[ cannot advanG_e to 6fth-grade. The iaw takes effect in the 2001-2002 school year. , Susan Tave Zelman, state schools superintendent, said the report mirrors recommend3i;ions the state education board approved in March. " It reinforces th~ board's position about the importance of literacy," Zelman said. Records destl oyed ·by . '. · Woman gets pom by mistake She is sending· copies of the report to every 0 hio superintendent. She also will recommend more state investment in early grades -in the- Department of Education's next two-ye.ar budget. According to the report, 60 percent of Ohio fourth-graders - about 76,000 passed the 1999 reading test. Of the 40 pet cent who failed , a rmjority almost passed and probably could succeed with some extra help. But 1.6 percent of children who failed the test, or about 20,000, would need· intensive help to pass. While the overall percentage of students passing the test grew from 48 percent in'1998 to 60 percent in t999, the rate of those with serious reading problems who didn't come close to passing dropped only slightly, from 17 percent to 16 percent, the report said. The report recommends revitwing . the tut thoroughly, helping children' ·in lower grt~dts become more prepared for the test, and giving children until the fifth-grade to pass it.

Jerry Awang, vice president of operations for Flynt's publishing house, said his boss was "livid" over the switch.

PADUCAH. Ky. (AP) - The operators of two uranium processing plants in Kentucky and Ohio erased computer records containing hundreds of safety and environmental problems without proper government approval, a newspaper reported Sunday. The U.S. Department of Energy had required plant operators to detail their progress toward .correcting the problems, but more than one-fourth of those records were deleted without federal clearance in 1993, according to documents obtained by The Courier-Journal. The Energy Department, after a three-year investigation, reconstructed the erased items from computer archives and paper records and concluded tlut the deletions were inappropriate.The probe also found that nearly half the safety problems either had not been fixed or should have been referred to ather agencies. The u.s: Enrichment G:orp. operates 'the plants in Paducah and Piketon, Ohio. USEC spoke!woman Elizabeth Stuckle said that while records of safety problems were deleted from the database whete they were compiled, the original . records still exlated in some form. In nie,mos to the Energy Department, USEG also said it had a right to erase certain items without permission and that the findings it deleted did not have a significani impact on the plants' safety. Energy Department officials found that a safety database at Paducah held records of 1,693 pending safety issues at th!' two plants. Of those, 464 were erasep, The erased records included: government and opef11tor findings of a lax attitude to~rd ~~., · ty by first~line sqp!'rv1sob;' inconsistent investigations o( accidents; health and safety violations by both management and rank-and-file workers that, in some cases, went unpunished; and the use of old data and questionable analyses to assess environmental contamination. The 'company was ordered to fix some of the uncorrected problems, but it was not fined a,nd the plants were not shut down at any time, the newspaper reported. Energy Department spokesman Walter Perry said four citations prepared against USEC for low-level violations of nuclear-safety regulations never were issued because "the safety of the public and worken was not an issue."

PADUCAH. Ky. (AP) - The operators of two uranium processing plants in Kentucky and Ohio erased computer records containing hundreds of safety and environmental problems without proper government approval, a newspaper reported Sunday. The U.S. Department of Energy had required plant operators to detail their progress toward .correcting the problems, but more than one-fourth of those records were deleted without federal clearance in 1993, according to documents obtained by The Courier-Journal. The Energy Department, after a three-year investigation, reconstructed the erased items from computer archives and paper records and concluded tlut the deletions were inappropriate.The probe also found that nearly half the safety problems either had not been fixed or should have been referred to ather agencies. The u.s: Enrichment G:orp. operates 'the plants in Paducah and Piketon, Ohio. USEC spoke!woman Elizabeth Stuckle said that while records of safety problems were deleted from the database whete they were compiled, the original . records still exlated in some form. In nie,mos to the Energy Department, USEG also said it had a right to erase certain items without permission and that the findings it deleted did not have a significani impact on the plants' safety. Energy Department officials found that a safety database at Paducah held records of 1,693 pending safety issues at th!' two plants. Of those, 464 were erasep, The erased records included: government and opef11tor findings of a lax attitude to~rd ~~., · ty by first~line sqp!'rv1sob;' inconsistent investigations o( accidents; health and safety violations by both management and rank-and-file workers that, in some cases, went unpunished; and the use of old data and questionable analyses to assess environmental contamination. The 'company was ordered to fix some of the uncorrected problems, but it was not fined a,nd the plants were not shut down at any time, the newspaper reported. Energy Department spokesman Walter Perry said four citations prepared against USEC for low-level violations of nuclear-safety regulations never were issued because "the safety of the public and worken was not an issue."

'Tis the season for raking ·in"the big bucks -~ BY WALTER R. MEARS · WASHINGTON - For campaign fundraisers, the harvest is in the spring, and they are reaping a bumper crop in 2000. Republicans claimed a record take of $21.5 million at their big money meal of the season, where Gov. George W. Bush joked· that his cosdy !?residential caml?aign could spend it all by Thursday. , · The Democrats' main money event will be a fund-rajsing barbecue ,at a downtown arena on May 24, with a more casual dress code than the black-tied GOl' but just as aggressive a chase for cash. Those annual party dinners are only part of a national series, apart from th e fund-raising by the candidates for their own campaigns, in which . Bush already has set the record, $80 million, almost all of it spent to win the GOP notllination. Sharing the stage with Vice President AI Gore in New York at _a $2.2 million fundraiser for the Democra'tic National Committee, President Clinton said t\leir administt;ation was dedicated to helping people like the waiters "who serve these banquets but can't afford the price of a ticket." It was . $1,000 a plate Monday night, but the real money came fro.m the big donors, at $25,000 and up, which earned an invitation . to receptions with Clinton and Gore. The Republican tab Wednesday night was S1,500 a diner, and tlhere, too, the big money wasn't in tickets, it was in t\le giant donations of businesses and individuals, 38 of ., them raising or giving at least $250,oob: an additional 16 producing at least $100,0.00. The pattern will be similar when Democrats hold their $50 barbecue. Big dono~ get invitations to dinner with Clinton the night before. Most of the money raised at these ~vents Is soft inoney, the unregulated funds the national parties and their congressionill, campaign committees can spend without the restrictions that apply to candidates. Le gally,' soft money can't be used on the campaigns of individual candidates. In practice, the line between TV ads .for a party and ads ~ or its ticket often is invisible. Bu.sh was kidding when he ·told the Republican Party donors: "The way my campaign is spending money, we 'll have that spent by Th':IJSday." The high price of politics keeps g6i ng up, and every campaign se ts records for fund raising and spendiQg.

I was thrilled and surprised, since never. before had he so mnch as hinted at living together. At first, things seemed great. Garth put new carpeting in my daughter's bedroom, and let her select the wallpaper. All the little adjustments went smoothly, and we were getting along wonderfully well. Or so I thought. Three days ago, Garth toid me I could not live with him any longer, and that he wants to be alone with his children in the house.

'Tis the season for raking ·in"the big bucks -~ BY WALTER R. MEARS · WASHINGTON - For campaign fundraisers, the harvest is in the spring, and they are reaping a bumper crop in 2000. Republicans claimed a record take of $21.5 million at their big money meal of the season, where Gov. George W. Bush joked· that his cosdy !?residential caml?aign could spend it all by Thursday. , · The Democrats' main money event will be a fund-rajsing barbecue ,at a downtown arena on May 24, with a more casual dress code than the black-tied GOl' but just as aggressive a chase for cash. Those annual party dinners are only part of a national series, apart from th e fund-raising by the candidates for their own campaigns, in which . Bush already has set the record, $80 million, almost all of it spent to win the GOP notllination. Sharing the stage with Vice President AI Gore in New York at _a $2.2 million fundraiser for the Democra'tic National Committee, President Clinton said t\leir administt;ation was dedicated to helping people like the waiters "who serve these banquets but can't afford the price of a ticket." It was . $1,000 a plate Monday night, but the real money came fro.m the big donors, at $25,000 and up, which earned an invitation . to receptions with Clinton and Gore. The Republican tab Wednesday night was S1,500 a diner, and tlhere, too, the big money wasn't in tickets, it was in t\le giant donations of businesses and individuals, 38 of ., them raising or giving at least $250,oob: an additional 16 producing at least $100,0.00. The pattern will be similar when Democrats hold their $50 barbecue. Big dono~ get invitations to dinner with Clinton the night before. Most of the money raised at these ~vents Is soft inoney, the unregulated funds the national parties and their congressionill, campaign committees can spend without the restrictions that apply to candidates. Le gally,' soft money can't be used on the campaigns of individual candidates. In practice, the line between TV ads .for a party and ads ~ or its ticket often is invisible. Bu.sh was kidding when he ·told the Republican Party donors: "The way my campaign is spending money, we 'll have that spent by Th':IJSday." The high price of politics keeps g6i ng up, and every campaign se ts records for fund raising and spendiQg. This presidential year began with d~:bate about campaign finance reform, Bush resisting the overhaul his rival , Sen. Joht:t M~Cain, V)lants; Gore &trending himself against Bill Bradley's assert/.ons that he ·won't be able to effectively ' rgue the reform issue because of his own; involvement in questionable fund raising' In 1996.

TBA Junior's.3-run blast·r PITTSBURGH (AP) - A month into his transitio n to the National League, Ken Griffey Jr. still is lea rning pitchers' tenden cies and patterns. That doesn't mean he can't recognize a good pitch to hit when he sees it. ·Griffey hit a three-run ho mer in the seventh inning after th e Cincinnati Reds constantly squandered scoring chances before rallying to beat Pittsburgh 6-2 o n Sunday. The Reds stranded seven runners in th e first six innings, leaving two on in the fifth and the bases loaded in the sixth, before Griffey hit a 1-0 pitch by Todd Ritchie into the right-field seats with two on and two outs . Griffey still isn't hitting for average in the NL - he has a .217 average - but his po~er is corning around. Seven of his 20 hits are homers and, despite his low batting average, he ended April with 24 RBis. "I'm just trying not to swing at too many bad pitches," Griffey said . "The first couple of weeks, I was aU over the place. Now, I'm •just trying to senle down, l was so anxious the first , couple of weeks. "Now, I somewhat feel comfortable , and l want to go out there and do what I can do. Every day is a learning experience for me. I'm facing guys I've never seen." Of course, the guy he least wanted to face if he failed was his grandfather, Curtis, of nearby Donora, Pa. He was attending his grandson's third game in Pittsburgh and still hadn't seen him homer. "! just didn 't. want my grandfather to be here when we leave;• Griffey said. "He told my mom .\1~ wasn't leaving until I hit a Hmrter, and I don't like to disappoint my grandparents:" Pincll~hitter Hal Morris singled an4 Sean Casey walked, one of five walks by ·P:Jfcl-!ie in 6 2-3 innings, ahead of Griffey's first career homer against Pins- burgh. Pirates manager Gene Lamont, who usu.ally goes to the mound only to lift pitchers, visited with Ritchie before G riffey's homer. Until then, Ritchie ha:d handled Griffey, striking him out twi ce and getting him on a soft Oy to left field. "[ . can't make a mistake ro a hitter like that," said Ritchie, who was working on a shutout until leaving a fastball to Griffey over the outer half of the plate. " ! had it under control and I let it get away.The six innings were wash ed away with that one pitch." Lamont considered taking out Ritchie, but Ritchie convinced him he could get Griffey out. "Todd's gotten big outs for us the last two seasons," Laq1ont . said. " I wanted him to fa ce Grif-, fey. He had him guessing. Todd · is the guy I want pitching in a tough situation like that." An inning later, Lamont made a pitching change Brad Clontz for Scon Sauerbeck and Juan Castro followed a pitch later with a two-run homer, his first since June 17, 1998. Sauerbeck had walked Aaron Boone ahead ofCastro's homer, one of nine walks by the four Pirates pitchers. Griffey's homer was his third in six games and made a winner of rookie Rob Bell (2-1), who limited the Pirates to two funs and four. hits despite walking five in six innings. He struck out seven. "! felt like that's the best stuff I've had since my first start, but I got myself in trouble with walks," Bell said. "l can't remember the last time I walked five. ! do something stupid every start to put us in a jam." · The Pirates, losing their sev·e nth in I 0 games, threatened to fl!take the )ead'in the seventh by putting runner~ on first and third with two outs.

TBA Junior's.3-run blast·r PITTSBURGH (AP) - A month into his transitio n to the National League, Ken Griffey Jr. still is lea rning pitchers' tenden cies and patterns. That doesn't mean he can't recognize a good pitch to hit when he sees it. ·Griffey hit a three-run ho mer in the seventh inning after th e Cincinnati Reds constantly squandered scoring chances before rallying to beat Pittsburgh 6-2 o n Sunday. The Reds stranded seven runners in th e first six innings, leaving two on in the fifth and the bases loaded in the sixth, before Griffey hit a 1-0 pitch by Todd Ritchie into the right-field seats with two on and two outs . Griffey still isn't hitting for average in the NL - he has a .217 average - but his po~er is corning around. Seven of his 20 hits are homers and, despite his low batting average, he ended April with 24 RBis. "I'm just trying not to swing at too many bad pitches," Griffey said . "The first couple of weeks, I was aU over the place. Now, I'm •just trying to senle down, l was so anxious the first , couple of weeks. "Now, I somewhat feel comfortable , and l want to go out there and do what I can do. Every day is a learning experience for me. I'm facing guys I've never seen." Of course, the guy he least wanted to face if he failed was his grandfather, Curtis, of nearby Donora, Pa. He was attending his grandson's third game in Pittsburgh and still hadn't seen him homer. "! just didn 't. want my grandfather to be here when we leave;• Griffey said. "He told my mom .\1~ wasn't leaving until I hit a Hmrter, and I don't like to disappoint my grandparents:" Pincll~hitter Hal Morris singled an4 Sean Casey walked, one of five walks by ·P:Jfcl-!ie in 6 2-3 innings, ahead of Griffey's first career homer against Pins- burgh. Pirates manager Gene Lamont, who usu.ally goes to the mound only to lift pitchers, visited with Ritchie before G riffey's homer. Until then, Ritchie ha:d handled Griffey, striking him out twi ce and getting him on a soft Oy to left field. "[ . can't make a mistake ro a hitter like that," said Ritchie, who was working on a shutout until leaving a fastball to Griffey over the outer half of the plate. " ! had it under control and I let it get away.The six innings were wash ed away with that one pitch." Lamont considered taking out Ritchie, but Ritchie convinced him he could get Griffey out. "Todd's gotten big outs for us the last two seasons," Laq1ont . said. " I wanted him to fa ce Grif-, fey. He had him guessing. Todd · is the guy I want pitching in a tough situation like that." An inning later, Lamont made a pitching change Brad Clontz for Scon Sauerbeck and Juan Castro followed a pitch later with a two-run homer, his first since June 17, 1998. Sauerbeck had walked Aaron Boone ahead ofCastro's homer, one of nine walks by the four Pirates pitchers. Griffey's homer was his third in six games and made a winner of rookie Rob Bell (2-1), who limited the Pirates to two funs and four. hits despite walking five in six innings. He struck out seven. "! felt like that's the best stuff I've had since my first start, but I got myself in trouble with walks," Bell said. "l can't remember the last time I walked five. ! do something stupid every start to put us in a jam." · The Pirates, losing their sev·e nth in I 0 games, threatened to fl!take the )ead'in the seventh by putting runner~ on first and third with two outs.

The Toronto Raptors' first playoff app earance ended on a downer Sunday as they were swept out of th e first round by the . New York Knicks. The deciding factors in all three games were poise and experience, especially in Sunday's 8780 victo ry. "They're an experienced tean1 and know what it rakes to win," Toronto's Tracy McGrady sa id, "and" they got it don e in th e crunch sicuations." Sunday's biggest shot was a lucky one by Larry Jo hnson a 3-poinrer that banked in otT the backboard from a nearly straight-away angle with 24 :2 seconds left to put the Kni cks into a second- round series against Miami.

Identity theft occurs when some~ne obtains important perso nal mformat1on from an individual, such as a Soctal Secunty number or credi t card number, to commit &.md of theft. For th e criminal, identity theft is a re(ac tively low-risk, high reward endeavor, but for the victim it can devastate credit and requJte ·enclless h~urs of telephone and written conmmnication to resolve, if resolved at all. In 1992, the U.S. financial con:munity reported roughly 35,000 cases of 1dent1ty fraud . By 1997, the number had nsen to more than 500,000 and sttll cbmbs.

About t:Wo- thirds of all identicy crimes areeither undetected or go unrep(/rted; and credit card issuers often don't prosecute thieves who are appre~ended because they can affo rd to write off a certain amount of fraud as a cost of doing business. Th e Identity T heft and Assumpnon Deterrence Act of 1998 makes identity theft a fed eral crime witl1 penalties up to 15 years imprisonment an d a maximwn fine of $250,000. It establishes that tile person whose identity was stolen is a true victim.
