Ted Strickland. Strickland, D-Lucasville, was addressing a group of elderly Meigs countians gathered at the Senior Citizens Center Wednesday for the observance of National Senior Health and Fitness Day. . Drug price disparity and three bills currently under consideration in Congress to les~n the problems were discussed by Strickland. 12 oz. Pkg. 24 oz. Pkg.

Strickland said that in his congressional district of 14 counties, senior citizens are forced to pay nearly twice as much as the favored culto\}lers and substantiaUy more than consumers in other countries for the same drug. He discusSed the tiered pricing structure which he aUeges discriminates against senior citizens who rrtake the single price purchase, and charged that the practice is unfair to senior citizens: "The discriminatory pricing imposes severe Pound Alumni forms fund to help schools COLUMBUS (AP) .

Teachers accused of cheating ALLIAN~E (AP) -Two teachers could be suspended after they were accused of helping their students cheat on fourth-grade proficiency tests, the Ohio Department of Education said.

Stark County Family Court officials last saw the Uniontown girl when they checked on her at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. She was missing when officials checked again Wednesday and a warrant was prepared for her arrest. The girl was placed under house arrest last week after pleading the juvenile equivalent of innocent to falsification and reporting a false alarm. The girl, whose name was withheld because of her age, was released to her mother and was scheduled to appear in courtJuly 13.

The court ruled 6-1 that the fees Ameritech requires from companies such as AT&T Communications and MCI Telecommunications don't violate Ohio law even though they are higher than the cost of providing the service. AT&T and MCI filed a complaint concerning the rates with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio .. Justice Francis .E. Sweeney, writing for the court majority, said AmeCitech's rates mirrored those approved by the I:ederal Communications Commilsion and no evidence was · given that these charges were unjust or unreasonable. Justice Paul E. Pfeifer disagreed, writing that the PUCO has become too protective of local phone companies at the expense of better service for Ohioans. "Here, Ameritech's switched access rates· are five times higher than the costs of providing the· · service,~' he wrote·. "The. Pr\cing should bear a reasonable ' relationship to the cost of providing the service." AT&T, which estimated Ameritech was overcharging it $64 million a year .for access rates, said it was disappointed by Wednesday's ruling. The company's policy is to use reductions ~n access rates to lower long-distance rates, meaning consumer$ will suffer in the long run, AT&T 's pokesman Mike Pruyn said. Ameritech was pleased with the decision, .saying it confirms the approach the PUCO has taken in driving down access rates, company spokeswoman Caryn Candisky said. The company has lowered access rates' by $82 niiUion ·since 1995, she said. . · The PUC::O did not immediately , return a phone call requesting comment. . ·, COLUMBUS (AP) - A program that allowed some Ohio State University medical school students to complete their studies at the Cleveland C~nic will be phased out during the next three years, officials said Wednesday. The decision leaves open the possibility of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation starting its own medical school, though no decisions have been made, offcials said. OSU students currently in Cleveland will be able to finish their studies, and students selected to go to Cleveland in the coming year will do so, the school said. About 60 Ohio State medical students in the second, third or fourth years of'their medical education study full-time at the clinic. Research cooperation between the two institutions will continue, OSU said. Ohio State and the c~nic had entered into the arrangement in 1991 because of their complementary faculties and programs, said Dr. Daniel Sedmak, interim dean of Ohio State's CoUege of Medicine and Public Health. Last year, the two institutions considered creating a Cleveland Clinic school of medicine within OSU's m.edical school, Sedmak ' . said. "In evaluating the proposal, we jointly concluded .it just . wasn't feasible;' he said. The decision wiU aUow Ohio Stat~ to consolidate its educational activities in the Columbus area, where the school is based, OSU officials said. . · Last year, officials said OSU and the Cleveland C~nic Foundation were negotiating to create what would have amounted to a ])'ranch campus of Ohio State's medical school. . Some OSU . faculty members were against the proposal because of the cost of creating the sch~ol in CleVeland and the possibility of competition between the t~o schools. Cleveland Clinic officials said' at the time that the foundation might try to create its own medical school if ihe plan failed. · That remains a possibility, officials there said Wednesday night. The medical school would focus on traiping students to take care of patients, as weU as prepar., ing the students to participate · in research activities, said Dr. Andrew Fishleder, chairman of the Cleveland C~nic Foundation's division of education. Earl 'Butch' Wilson CINCINNATI {AP) Last summer's deadly heat wave has prompted new approaches to keeping cool. . By niid-June, the Cincinnati Health Department and several cooperating agencies will roll out a revamped system for warning people about heat waves and what to do about them. Plans include an expanded network of church groups, block watches and senior citizen agencies to check on people at risk. "This year will be a transitional year for us in many respects. We . plan to do several things differently;' said city health commissioner Malcolm Adcock. ·<;:incinnati was among the earliest and hardest-hit cities during a multistate heat wave that daimed more than · 197 lives in late July. Eighteen people died in the Ci ncinnati area. This year's approach is part of the city's response to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that found little value in t!J.e program of providing centers whe.re people could go to stay cool. . As a result, Cincinnati health officials have been ' working for months with Montgomery County health officials, who had already hired a consultant to redesign its heat alert system.

Hormone therapy found to boqst breast canE:er ·sk SEATTLE (AP) - Use of a hormone-replacement therapy with estrogen and progestin can J)Jore than double the risk of a form of breast pncer, researchers reported today in the journal Cancer. Scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer R~search Center studied 537 King County women at least 50 years old who had breast cancer from 1988 to 1990. They were compared with 492 women who had not had the disease. Scientists found a 2.6-fold higher incidence of lobular breast cancer in women who took the combination therapy for at least six months and an average of four years. The reason only one form · of cancer increased is "a question for the fmure: Do some women have certain characteristics that make them m e suk •·ptibl e to lobular cancer when using replace cnt therapy?" said Dr. Christopher Li, . ~he study's ,ad author. About 85 perce nt of invasiye breast cancer cases are in the ducts that carry milk to the nipple. Lob ular cancer occurs in• the milk-producing lobules and affei:ts about 10 percent of breast-cancer cases.

Gene Halley, President Pomeroy Audit misleading or: I write response to Brian J Reed 's articles on ~il 21 and 23 concerning the auditor's fin~ in Southern local Schools. I am also got to address th e auditor's report, whic have,read in its entirety. Fi , Reed wrote that the auditor's report foun Southern local School District "pays more for benefits rhan other sc hool districts in th!l state." This is not true, nor is it accurate. S rhern Local insurance premi um costs arc equal to or less than the insurance premium costs for similar insurance benefits offered in the surrounding districts. The auditor's report ac tually said ~o uth e rn's atmual insurance benefit cost per employee is higher than the "estimated average" found in a survey of Ohio's Public Sector Employers by the State Employment Relations Board. The report did say Southern's annual insurance benefit cost w;o.s the highest of the "peer districts," but this cost depends on how many employees are taking tne insurance benefits . It is true Southern·Local Schools spends 81 percent of its budget for teachers, support stafi; , and administrators, but this is average in the state. In fact, districts that have financial problems than 85 percent of their budget on The au;dit<>r did not identify the real lldten1'' financial problems. The state of Ohio. selecting three average districts to comf•a"~s Southern's "Peer Districts," the report c~ose three of the poorest districts in Ohio: Bridgeport in Belmont County, Eastern in Meigs County, and Green Local in Scioto County. We are all along the Ohio River, and we are all in need of state funds . In 1997, Southern actually received $2,708 per pupil from the state. In 1998, if you remember the state "greatly increased" spending on education and Southern received $2,885 per pupil. But that was reduced to $2,497 in 1999, and this year it is down to $2,707 pe r pupil this year. Southern Local is actually receiving less per pupil in state funding than we did in 1997. Compare that to wnat our "peer'' distri cts receive per pupil from the state: Bridgeport receives $3,059, Eastern receives $3,850 and Green receives $2,763. Reed wrote that the audito r's report recommended the district save money by elim inating a number of positions, freezing wages for all employees and redu cing the cost of employees' benefits. Southern's tea<: hcr< nave already frozen their wage s every year since 1992 and have not had an in crease with the exception of the 2 ..3 percent lott!(CVity step in 1998.

Hotels, hostels, beds and breakfasts, motels and inns should be available 10 supply the need for overnight accommodations. Since shopping has become the number one activity of visitors to Ohio's hilJ country, food products and crafts are often desired. To help promote the area, familiarization (Fam) tours can be developed to depict the ·theme that is being portrayed. Cottage industries, home-based businesses, craft shops and art studios can ti,e the tourism routes together. In the future there is going to be more competition in vying for the heritage tourist. Prospective guests may become overwhelmed by the ,a mount of information explaining travel destinations. Heritage areas will need to .emphasize the value of history and the past. They must take steps to - assure that preservation is secured for future generations. There are other things that can be done to promote the history, and heritage of a region. Not pnly should there be an authentic product, but there should also be interactive education and -entertainment, both participating and passive. By engaging the tourist in dle history of the area, they can l>etter appreciate the historical siguificance of the past. You will need to market your area str:itegically. Have a travel route mapped with an itjnerary, but avoid naming counties. Develop themes - they may include history, culture, nature; refer to locations by towns or routes. Have the routes beginning evident . throughout Southern Ohio, tourism businesses should focus on it. Twenty-one percent of travelers to Ohio's Hill Country are likely to tour historic sites, as opposed to 6.5 percent statewide. Sites could include prehistoric Indian mounds, the first state capital, the state's oldest standing courthouse, the state's only Civil War battlefield, murals depicting _the area's history and culture, etc. Since Appalachian Ohio follows the Ohio River, the river can serve as a backdrop, not just because of in historical significance, but als~ as a component of soft adventure tours. Make sure you can manage the capacity of travelers that you want 'to attract. Collabora~e and partner - throughout th~ reg10n to det~'f­ nune the logtst!cs of handling great numbers of visit~rs. Don't forget to encourage haspitality training. Those people working the front lines in restaurants, hotels, gas stations, tourist businesses, shops and stores should understand the importartce of heritage and the importance _of tourism. They should be trained in relaying information about the historical attractions and figures of the area. Employees should exhibit impeccable manners, exceptional service and good public relations. It is essentialthat they focus on the opportuniries of which travelers ~an take advantage, instead of the problems of the area. Southern Ohio can beconie one of the state's major tourist attractions. Tourism professionals and interested citizens can work together to make the vision happen. The history and heritage are already there, coUaboratio~ · and planning can bring it about.

George W. Bush prepared !0 grant his first reprieve in a death penalty case after 131 Texas executions during his five years in office. Bush, a death penalty supporter who last week announced that he supports DNA testing in some cases to settle any doubts, said he was "more than likely" to grant convicted child killer Ricky Nolen McGinn the onetime, 30-day reprieve as defense attorneys seek more testing of crime scene evidence. McGinn is scheduled to die this evening for the 1993 rape and killing of his 12-year-old stepdaughter. Bush said he would wait until McGinn runs out of appeals before acting. ''I'm inclined to (intervene) because I want ... the man to have his full day in court," Bush said. "If there is any doubt, any outstanding evidence that exonerates him from the .rape, we . ought to look at it." .· Bush, the Republican presidential front-runner, has been criticized for allowing · executions to continue in his home state while he campaigns as a ••compassionate conservative." Texas is byfar the national leader in the number of executions: there were 35 last year and 19 so far this year, includine one Wednesday. At least seven executions are scheduled for June. Only once since he took office has Bush spared a condemned inmate from lethal injection: He commuted H~nry Lee Lucas' death sentence to life in 1998 when evidence cast doubt on Lucas' murder conviction. .. Bush has rejected pleas from the Vatican, among others, and refused two years ago to keep convicted killer Karla Tucker from becoming the first woman put to death in Texas since the Civil War era. .

Illinois Gov. George Ryan, also a Republican, imposed a moratorium on executions in January amid concern that innocent people were on death row. · The New Hampshire Legislature voted last week to abolish that state's death penalty, a step vetoed by the governor. But it is Texas that is at the center of the storm. Since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976, Texas has carried out 217 executions, the most by any state. Virginia has executed 76 inmates in that time, followed by Florida with 46. Last week, Bush said he sup. ported the use of DNA testirig in p~nding death penalty cases. He also reiterated his belief that no innocent person has been executed in Texas during his tiq~e in· office. He contends the case-by-case scrutiny ·given to cases in Texas eliminates the need for a moratorium. Hour.; before receiving word of Bush's cm:nments, McGinn speculated that a postponement might help the governor's image. "I don't know how it would hurt him," he said. "It would show they're trying to make the judicial .system right.'' Bush appoints the 18-member Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, which recommends to him whether a reprieve or commutation is appropriate. He is not bound by the recommendations. McGinn attorney Richard Alley said he was confident Bush would grant his client a 'reprieve until at least June 30, when additional DNA tests on physical evidence should be complete. "I think the 'governor thinks like. most people on the street think,'' Alley said.

Bush and Democrat AI Gbre say they are considering women for the No. 2 spot. But despite gains made by women elsewhere in politics, UJ.dst observers figure the chances for a female veep this year are slim. "It's ironic that women voters are such a key target group and yet there is so little talk about a woman for VP," said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster. For the GOP, there's Elizabeth Dole, who made a run at the tOp job, and New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman, a moderate from a swing state, But Dole didn't make much of a showing in her presidential bid, dropping out before the first votes were cast. Whitman is a strong supporter of abortion rights, and religious conservatives have warned Bush not to pick her. • For the Democrats, Gore is expected to consider Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who hails from California, the biggest electoral prize. But Feinstein is ' also running for re-election thls •year, complicating her prospects. A:nd if Gore is to win, California ·should be in his column even without a local on the ticket. Other names are bandied about, but none are thought to be serious prospects. ·' Vice presidential nominees . ~re typically considered from ; two groups - people who have run fot president themselves and .governors, Lake said. And· despite women's advancement ·through the ranks of politics, very few women faU into either ·group. Only three states have female •governors, and Dole is the only woman from either major parry to have been regarded, however briefly, as a serious contender for her party's presidential nomina·tion . "That's the ultimate glass ceiling," Lake said. Former Vice President Walter · Mondale and Ferraro, then a New York congresswoman, lost in 1984 as Republicans Ronald R,eagan and George Bush easily won re-election.And each of the tl\ree elections since then has · pitted one pair of men against another. "It didn't work out the first t'ime, so I think candidates were wary of choosing a woman," said Kathleen Kennedy Townsend , the lieutenant governor of Maryland who is viewed as a rising star in the Democratic Party. ' With the first- time excitement come and gone, observers say women will not be picked simply for their gender but ~heering, because they bring the right personality, ideology or geographic balance· to a ticket. "In 1984, it was 'Oh it will never happen, it will never happen,"' said · Ferraro, who was skeptical herself when, in 1983, a group of women asked her to think about ·h er own prospects. "No matter who it was, it was a historic event. Now, it's not going to be historic. It's just good politics," she said. "We've matured about it." Getting a woman to the vice presidency - and eventually to the Oval · Office - . could depend.on building a pipeline of women ' in office - senators, governors. Cabinet sectetaries, the sort of people a nominee looks to when making the pick. Today, the pipeline is considerably fuller. Nine women serve in the Senate, compared with just two in 1984, and women have more ' than doubled their numbers in the House, to 58. A woman now serves as secretary of state, one otleight women in President. Clinton's extended Cabinet. And this yeu, Dole mounted a full-scale, albeit aborted, campaign for the GOP presidential nomination. The key is having enough qualified women out there so .that one will mesh wirh the presidential nominee, said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas. "The first hurdle you have to cross is the credentials, the experience, the credibility and the record. Now women have passed that hurdle," Hutchison said. "The next hurdle has to be the match." Take New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, a weD-respected Democrat whose state is not key to the general election. "If Jeanne Shaheen was the governor of Ohio or Illinois we'd have a different conversation:• said Marie C. Wilson, president of The White House Project, which is working to change the political . climate so that a woman might be elected president. Other Democrats m~ntioned include Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Townsend, who is expected to run for Ma~yland governor, but both are generally seen as not quite ready for the No. 2 job. Republican women in the pipeline include Rep. Jennifer Dunn ofWashington state. There's still that problem that some of the excitement of choasing a woman is gnne, said. Joan McCle•n, part of :i group of feminists that built support for Mondale to pick a woman. "Any time you try to break a barrier, there's a momentum that has a life of its. own," said McClean, now a government professor at Ohio U nivenity. "The bu is much higher now."

In England, there is a Mammoth series, and "The Mam· moth Book of Bridge" (Robinson) was produced last year by Mark Horton . It is a mixture of good and bad. The good: masses of information in 544 pages. Great value for money. The bad: neither salmon nor spring chicken. It contains material for ali levels of player (from an ace is high to fit-jumps and support doubles), so it would have been better if split into some three books and each expanded. The content is supposedly aimed at the American market, but some of the recommendations aren't used over here. And the Who's Who is taken from the last Encyclopedia, which was published in 1994; it contained errors then and, inevitably, has even· more now.

When East encouraged with the club eight, West continued with his second club. (Yes, probably·West should have cashed the spade ace first, but it didn't matter here.) Then, a third round !'rom hast promoted a trump trick for the defense. With the spade ace still to come, that meant one down. Borders .offers "The Mammoth Book of Bridge" for $12.71.

"Once I threw that first pitch, it was pretty much over after that," he said Wednesday night after beating the team he spent 14 years with,leading the Cleveland Indians over Anaheim 7-3. Finley (4-4), the winningest pitcher in Angels history, left as a free agent last December. He ·allowed three runs - two earned - and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings to win for the first time in six starts since April 29. "It was more imeresting looking over at their dugout the last few days than it was pitching against them," Finley said. Russell Branyon homered twice in his first game this season, and Roberto Alomar, David Justice and Travis Fryman connected for the Indians. Seth Etherton (0- i), making · his second career start, gave up just four hits in five-plus innings. Steve Karsay got five outs for his 1Oth save. "It was weird," Anaheim's Tim Salmon said. "I felt like I had a pretty good scouting report after playing behind him all those years. It was a typical Finley game - he teases you and then improving his career record to shuts you down." 150-101 and ending visiting Devil Rays 4, Orioles 3 Tampa Bay finished off visit- Minnesota's four-game winning · ing Baltimore, not once, but . streak.

Lentes said that a similar scam resulted in the arrest of three men a year agb. Those cases are still pending in the federal court, where the cases were referred because they involved interstate activity. That check-cashing ring presented false payroll checks bearing the name of Banks Construction Co., a Pomeroy contracting firm, and the name of at least one other prominent area firm. The same defendants were also convicted in the Meigs County court system on a number of other charges in connection to a series of burglaries, gun thefts and drug offenses,lentes said. Lentes said that those individuals allegedly used a computer at the Meigs County District Public Library to create the fraudulent documents, as well as special accounting and checking sofrwa~ on a private computer. The latest fake paycheck incident is apparently unrelated to those cases, but lentes said that cashiers and bank tellers should carefully examine any payroll checks that are presented to them. The Social Security number or driver's license number of anyone presenting a paycheck should be obtained. "These checks have been very convincing, and have bee n acco mpanied by altered Ohio and West Virginia driver's licenses," Lentes s:aid.
