Jeff Hornacek wouldn't have it any other way. Moments after Portland beat the Utah Jazz in Game 5 of the Western Conferepee semis and officially launched the [,;tirement of one of the league truly good guys, somebody asked Hornacek about future plans. His five-year-old daughter, Abigale, sat in his lap, flanked by older brothers Ryan and '!yler. Most of the $5 million Hornacek made this past season was sitting in the bank. Turns out that was the extent of his plans. • "As a player, you always think you're going to win the game. At this point, it's sad, I guess, that I won't be out there play- ing any more. But as you can see," Hornacek said with a sweep of his arm, "these guys and my wife will keep me busy." Although he steps down happy, healthy and with the prospect of even more good days ahead than behind, there is a certain sadness in seeing Hornacek go at age 37. He announced last fall that a chronically troublesome left knee would make this, his 14th season in the league, his last. But it wasn't until he walked off the floor in Portland, alongside teammates John Stockton, 38, and Karl Malone, 36, that it was clear what the league is about to lose. Loyalty on both sides of the equation is what made the Jazz that rarest of com~ modities in this era of free agency: a team crafted around a core of vereran players and allowed to grow old together. The trio put Utah in back-to-back NBA Finals against Michael Jordan's Bulls in 1997 and 1998, and no doubt expected to be the biggest beneficiary of the breakup in Chicago the following season.

Hometown Newspaper so Cents Law adds Heines, Pore named top EHS grads penalties to DUI . COLUMBUS (AP) - A law punishing Ohio's drunkest drivers took effect Wednesday. but some worry that chronically impaired drivers will escape punishment by refusing to be tested for alcohol use. The new law increases' the maximum possible penalty to five years for people who are convicted of drunken driving four or more times within six years. The maximum before Wednesday was . 18 months. 1 The law, sponsored by Sen. Bruce Johnson, a Westerville Republican, also doubles jail time for convicted drunken drivers whose blood-alcohol content ·is 0.17 percent or higher. The legal limit in Ohio is 0.10 percent. The law "sends yet another message, and a clearer message, for the group of people who are hard-core drunks, that the state is serious about you·r rehabilitation, and the level of rehabilitation is going to end up with more penalties," Johnson said. ·One of the bill's strongest supporters was Hamilton County Prosecutor Michael Allen. He cited the case of Gregory Roy, who has been convicted 14 times since 1975 for drunken driving but 11ntil this year had never ' served l~nger tha:n . a one-year sentence. · ·,"I' have always thou~ht that judges n.e eded a tool to lle able to warehouse these types of offenders," Allen s3id. "There are some people you :re just not going to cure, you have to warehouse." Roy, 44, is serving a. 4 112-year sentence in Pickaway Correctii>nal Institution on three separ~te charges of felony drunken driving. The sentence includes three years for violating probation on two earlier convictions. Tim Huey of the Ohio Associati'on . for Criminal Defense Lawyers said that rather t,han keeping chronic drunken drivers off the road, the law Will encourage more of them to refuse to take the blood-alcohol test. "This thing, while it might be well-intentioned, will have the oP.posite effect it will at:>solutely discourage people from taking the test," Huey said .. People who refuse to take the test automatically lose their driver's license for one year. But prosecutors lose the. evidence of the offender's blood-alcohol level. Johnson, the bill's sponsor, said he 'doesn't believe any more .p(jl;l.; pie wi)J refuse to be tested. Drug- and alcohol-abuse coun- BY BRIAN ).

COLUMBUS (AP) - A jury spared the life of a man who was .convicted in the slaying of a Russian itrunigrant during a pawnshop robbery last year. . The jury recommended life in prison Wednesday without parole for Kenneth M.Tucker, 22, of Pennsylvania in the killing of Felix Pisman, 51. It could have recommended the death penalty. Judge Deborah O'Neill imposed the life sentence and gave Tucker 23 additional years for the robbery and the wounding of another man during the crime. Tucker was convicted May 2 of fatally shooting Pisman and wounding Andrew Fisher during the robbery ofLev's Pawn Shop on July 29. Pisman 'and Fisher, 23, managed the pawnshop. At the trial, the jury rejected Tucker's story that he had nothing to do with the shootings and is guilty only of stealing jewelry from the pawnshop. Fisher, who survived a gunshot wound to the head, identified Tucker as his assailant when he testified. During the penalty phase of the trial eadierthis week, Tucker again proclaimed his innocence to the same jury that had convicted him. "I've been real stressed out . .. because I could 'die," Tucker said in an unsworn statement to the jury in Franklin County Common Pleas Court. "Who wants to die knowing they're innocent?"

At this time, when pride in what stu~ dents have accomplished runs high, the saddest thing that can happen is for one of our graduates to be injured or even . kill~d on the roads while celebrating.

My grandparents, cousins, uncles - you name it - they're all more agrarian types. I remember helpi.ng my Paw Paw "Apple" John Wheeler work his massive garden on Tyler Mountain, W.Va., during my summer vacations from school. It wasn't until recently, however, that I braved gardening by myself. Two years ago, a· friend in Jumping Branch, Summers County, West-by-God-Virginia, gave me a plot .of land to exp~riment with. Thinking I knew everything (as cityfolk ~re inclined to do), I tilled the land and started planting - and fertilizing, and fertilizing and . fertilizing and .... You see, I had this notion the more fertilizer you put down, the more vegetables you get. (One too many "Bugs Bunny" episodes, I guoss.) · Wrong. Four weeks into the process and showing little signs of growth, I swallowed my pride and asked my friend what was wrong. He scratched his head and said," I don't know. My stuff's doing just fine." So, he took a sample of his soil and my soil to be analyzed. His soil came back well balanced and basically optimal for growing. My soil?

Gilbert, glish librettist (1836-1911 ). i ~ I l faD f; With the Dow and Nasdaq dropping, it's a gutsy- or risky- time for Texas Gov. George W Bush to advocate partially privatizing .Social Securiry. But he's doing it. · The Bush campaign calculates that enough Americans are stock market-wise and thinking long-term that this year's volatility won't scare voters into the arms ofVice President AI Gore. Gore, of course, is sounding alarms about Bush's proposal, calling it "stock market roulette" and a "secret plan" that Gore nevertheless calclilated would sap the ptlljected federal budget surplus by $850 billion over 10 years. Who's right? Between Social Security, taxes and budgets, tim has become a presidential campaign that will require a high policy-wonk quotient among journalists trying to report it and voters trying to judge the candidates. Is B~h's tax c':'t proposal "risky" and ."irresporuible," aS Gore claims, or entirely af!'otdable and beneficial, as Bush asserts? Is the Social Security system "not broke;' as Gore asserts, or in dire need of modernization, as Bush claims? These are not easy !\uestioru to answer, and they get more difficult the deeper one examines them. But they are certainly big matters worth debating in a presidential campaign. And they surely beat a Ca!Jlpaign based on personal attack. Bush got. two boosts last week. The first came fiom Democratic Sells. Daniel Patrick Marnihan, N.Y., and Bob Kerrey, Neb., who backed Bush's idea of private savinSI accounts to bolster Social Securiry and urged Gore to reconsider them .. The other break derived, ironically, from the roaring Clinton-Gore economy, which enabled Bush to assert that the 10-year non-Social Security budget surplus would be $1.8 trillion, double previow estimates- and big enough to contlin hisS 1.3 trillion tax cut plus $500 billion reform of the Social Security system. He's a traditional liberal, though, in proposing nearly $1 trillion in new spending, including S430 billion over 10 year; for a Medicare prescription drug benefit, $150 billion for health insurance for th e poor and $115 billion for educa tion programs. Bush's new spending is much lower. PoDs shpw that most voters prefer a debt paydown and investments in health and education rather than a tax cut - an advantage for Gor¢.

Dear West Covina: It's a "borderliner," but so funny, I'm risking the wrath of the bluenoses and printing it. Here it is: Surgeons operated on a woman in Bogota, Columbia, who smuggled an automatic pistol into a high-security prison by concealing it in her rectum. The woman slipped the pistol past security checks at the Bogota prison while visiting a suspected leftist rebel prisoner. Once inside, she realized the gun was stuck. Claiming she was pregnant, the 43year-old woman complained of acute stomach pains, and was taken to a hospi· tal. She stayed there for three days. Surgeons finally removed the pistol after the woman confessed to the real cause of her discomfort. Dear Ann Landers: You gave a very good answer as to why tobacco manufacturers make a harmful product. You said. "It's the money, honey:' However, that is only part of the equation. The better question is, "Why doesn't the government ban tobacco?" The answer is the same -it's the money. Part of the cost of ciS<~rettes goes to pay federal , state and local taxes. And the lawsuit settlement payments that come from the tobacco industry also go to the government.

But if you buy it at flea markets or antique shops - or even at a garage sale - bow do you clean it up and . restore it to its original glowing state? The answer comes from David Staskowsky, Metropolitan Home's "Ask David". columnist. In the , May/june issue · of t~e magazine, .Staskowsky is asked about ,, ~:¢storing vintage rattan. ..· He explains that rattan is a •solid-core vine that grows to 6'()0 feet long. It is steamed and ibent into the desired shape once it has dried. · . · Staskowski recommends ' cleaning rattan with a soft brush or, better yet, com' pressed air to remove all the loose dust. Then, take the pieces outside on a sunny day ·and scrub them with soapy water (dishwashing detergent works well) . If the finish is 'f ubbed or chipped, use a 100Qrit sanding sponge to remove loose flakes. Then rinse, dry ' and use a tack cloth to remove ·d'ust. · · . To refinish your .rattan, use an oil-based, tinted 'polyurethane product such as Minwax Polyshade. Cut the cbating four-to-one with lacquer thinner. Use a foam bru~h ·to avoid brush marks.

Bu~ch draws a lot of its . , · fans because of havinc 21 of Its 32 races on the Saturday before a Sunday Win ston Cup race at the same track . Both Winston Cup and Busch Series field 43 cars for 1 race. Why have only 36 for a Craftsman Truck field on those same tracks and send trucks home without lelfing them raCe'!

Fans pack the park no matter how bad the Chicago Cubs arc. They toss opponents' h.o me' run balls back onto the field. The players are so close fans can practically reach out and touch them. It~ -baseball the ' way it used to be, unspoiled by the ravages of greed and modern times. Heck; Wrigley is so quaint its nickname is "The Friendly Confines." Yeah, right. Those lov:rble Cubs fans got downright ugly Tuesday night, brawling with the Los Angeles Dodgers in one of the most bizarre incidents baseball has seen in years. . "It's an unfortunate thing,'~ [)odgers manager Davey Johnson said Wednesday. ''I think it was an isolated incident and I don't think it's going .to happen again!' · Dodgers catcher Chad Kreuter was in the bullpen when a fan hit him in the back of the head and stole his cap. Kreuter gave chase, his teammates followed, and soon there were a half-dozen ·or so Dodgers in the stands, tussling with fans. The rest of the team stood watching at the first-base wall, a chest-high brick barrier that separates the bullpen from the fans. It .tqok stadium security nine minutes - and several tries - to -restore order. All this, .and John Rocker has yet to hit town. "We would look at this as an. incident of some fan. We do not apologize for the fan," sa1d Mark McGuire, the Chicago C ubs' executive vice president of business operations. "The ·fan should not have reached over and tried to grab a player's hat. That was wrong, and we ·are embarrassed by the incident that took piace after that." The Cubs beefed up security after fans got rowdy at a night game last year, and they insisted there was adequate protection Tuesday night. There might not have been ~niformed police, but there were off-duty officers and other crowd control personnel, McGuire said. Still, security . around the bullpens is being increased, starting with Wednesday's game. Three stadium security officials - one more than before - arc sitting in the bullpen.There is one person at each end of the bullpen, and the third will sit in the middle, watching fans throughout the game. Off-duty police officers also will be in the stands, McGuire said. And yes, McGuire said, the Cubs are making provisions for May 29, when Rocker arrives. Rocker insulted gays, minorities, foreigners and others in a .Sports Illustrated article in December, and has been targeted by fans on the road all season. "We will definitely have an intensified (security) program when John Rocker comes here," McGuire said. "Whatever we do roday will be in place, and poten- tially more than whatever we have today." There weren 'c any problems Wednesday. At one point early in the game, one Dodgers player even turned around and chatted with a fan. "It's been all right there for ISO years, I'm sure it's going to be all right again," Johnson said. "You have 'wonderful fans here. It was just a couple bad 0 pes that got out of hand:" Three fans were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. · A fourth fan, who ran onto ·the field earlier in the game, was charged with trespassing. All four were released with June 19 court dates. But fans aren 't the only ones who got out of hand. "It seemed like it was going to stop and then more (Dodgers) went into the .stands," Cubs manager Don Baylor said. And Sandy Alderson, executive vice president of baseball operations in the commissioner's office, made it dear that some sort of punishment is in order for the Dodgers who were involved. In keeping with tl)is season's crackdown on any kind of fight- ing between two teams, "something involving players and fans will simply not be tolerated," he said . "There really is never any excuse for going into the stands," Alderson said. "It is not only not acceptable, it exposes players and other uniformed personnel ·.to 4f WRIGLEY RUMBLE- Several Los Angeles Dodgers ing Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Cubs players gd Into the stands in quest of the fims who at Wrigley Field.
