Busch finds success-in truck series TODAY'S SCOREBOARD BY THE ASSOCIATED P!IESS Winning the audition can be tougher than playing the part. Just ask Kurt Busch, who had to beat eight othe r wannabes last fall to earn the driver's seat with vaunted Roush R acing. H e's now setting rooltie records and is fifth in points in the NASCAR truc k series. "Things h ave gone surprising well for us," the 21-year-old drive r said. In just a half-season, the ull, slender upstart from Pahrump, Nev., already has matched a series record for wins by a first-year competito r. That was achieved Saturday at New Hampshire International Speedway, wh ~n got his second victory to tie Kenny Irwin's 1997 rec ord. Irwin, who moved up to Winston Cup in 1998, was ltilled a day earlier on the same track. With an all-business approach, Busch didn't think about the significance of a possible victory before or during the race. "As soon as we crossed the finish line, I thought about it and it solidified the momen_t," he said. "I just felt with the passing of Kenny we had help from above." Busch tied Irwin's record by holding off Mike Wallace in a thrilling, final-lap shootout in the thatlook.com 200. There was contact between their trucks, but Busch held on to win. " H e raced me clean and tapped me, as you expect in that situa- KCLLT from PageB1 Redlegs, who took the 1964 title. The Gallipolis Yankees won in 1994. Green won the tourney in 1973, with Hannan Trace winning in 1990 and Bidwell #1 taking the 1993 title. The Kyger Creek Little League tion, but I was able to drive away to win ," Busc h said. D espite his' age, victory celebrations aren't new. .Busch set records last year by winning four consecutive races and bei ng th e youngest champion in NASC AR 's southwest stock-car series .. This year, he beca me th e youngest truck series driver to win a pole and a race. He has tied several other records he figures to break soon , perhaps as early as Saturday in Nazareth , Pa. "The whole Roush team is pleased with our ' Gong Show ' pick;' general manager Max Jones said. Busch remembers the auditions held at two rracks. "I felt like I lost it, because the first time, in Toledo, I didn't think I did that well," he said. "But I guess I did enough for them to call me back for the second test . "In Phoenix, I just got into the flow of a normal race weekend ." Then he sat for a few weeks, waiti,ng for the verdict. "They gave me a call a couple of days before Thanksgiving, and it was very surprising," he said. He's now with an organization that fields nine teams in three NASCAR divisions. Mark Martin, Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth are Winston Cup aces who also win often on the Grand National circuit, although Kenseth does so in a car not owned by Roush . Busch's teammate, Greg Biffle, is setting many records of his own in the truck series, and leading m Nollonll LNguo the points. Between them , they have won the last five races .

A divorce action filed by Anne Lowry Casci against Ronald Paul Casci has been dismissed . CINCINNATI (AP) - Th10 fight. over Ohio's state motto, "With God, all things are possibl\!," is going back before a federal appeals court. . The_6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Friday it will rehear arguments about whether the motto's wording violates the U.S. Constitution as an apparent government endorsement of religion. On April 25, a panel of the court ruled 2-1 that the motto is unconstitutional. Friday's decision set• aside the April ruling. It means that 13 judges of the Cincinnati-based appeals court c_ould rehear lawyers' arguments as soon as ttris December, after both sides file written arguments. Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery said she is deiight~d with the .___second ch:mce to argue that Ohio's · motto is constitutional. "No other issue during my term as attorney general has generated so much public outcry as this, and I am committed to defending the state motto all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if needed;' Montgomery said. Mark Cohn, a Cleveland lawyer who argued the motto is unconstitutional, said the court's decision Friday was a setback. The appellate court's April ruling had reversed a lower court's decision that permitted Ohio's use of the motto. U.S. District Judge James Graham of Columbus ruled in 1998 that the words were acceptable as an official motto if Ohio did not attribute them to their biblical source. Th!' 0 trio Legislature adopted the motto in 1959 as a quotation from Jesus in the New Testament writings of Matthew. Graham said that in a secular setting the words are also compatible with Judaic or Muslim beliefS. The appellate panel disagreed. "When Jesus spoke to his disciples, he was explairiing to them wh<lt was needed of them to enter heaven and actrieve salvation, a uniquely Christian thought .not shared by JeW. and Moslems;· Judge Avern Cohn - no relaiion to Mark Cohn - wrote for the appeDate majoriry. In an April dissent, appeals Judge David Nelson said he found Ohio's motto no more troubling than the words "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins. Gov. Bob Taft has said the state does not use the motto to promote or advance any set of religious beliefS.

Closing of medical center may put squeeze on other hospitals DAYTON (AP) -The closing of Franciscan Medical Center, which treated many patients who could not alford to pay for care; will likely put financial pressure on the area's other hospitals, officials said Friday. The 122-year-old Franciscan, the ciry's oldest hospital, will close within two months for financial reasons. The dosing, announced Thursday, will put 1,552 Franciscan employees out of work and force patients to find other hospitals. "It's going to be a crunch," said Joe Krella , president of the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association. "I think the capacity exists to absorb it, but it's a matter ·of making sure we have the time to g10ar up and don't overburden the system." KreUa said funneling Franciscan's indigent patients to other hospitals will take a financial toll. He said uncompensated care already costs the area's hospitals between $72 million and $75 million a year." " We're simply going to be spending that · among a smaDer number of institutions," he said. Franciscan spokeswoman Nancy Thicket said the hospital's founding principle is to provide health care to all, including the indigent. Last year, Franciscan provided $7 million in uncompensated care.

L ast week's town meeting sponsored by the Appalachian Regional Commission in Iromon emphasized that one of the area's biggest losses is in the number of young people who leave for better- paying jobs elsewhere. That's been a common concern for the past few decades. The best and brightest head for the bright lights and the availaibiliry ofjobsin more prosperous areas. The solution to the problem is in meeting the need for better employment opportunities. Unfortunately, this can't be achieved except by a unified front of counties in southern Ohio and West Virginia pooling their resources to attract business to the region. Interestingly, the forum revealed that aside from highways, one of the area's primary needs is to increase communication capability. Much of the economy is driven by information systems. It's only reasonable that businesses expect an up-to-date means of relaying information when they look at expansion into other areas. T.J. Justice of the Ohio Governor's Office of Appalachia told The Associated Press that the state is looking into investing some of its highway infrastructure money to work with local governments in improving Internet access. That's a refreshing viewpoint because while improved roads are vital , they're pot the only incentive for new businesses. The belief in better communi cations systems tells us that telephone and information services must be improved beyond, ·basic residential or business u sc. ·· - - · If Ohio opts to go this route, it's an investment that can't go wrong. The area has the capability for manufacturing and is making strides m that area. But the horizons for dipping into the inf9rmation age are even wider, and our region would be remiss in not pursuing the opportunity. If all projections are correct, rwo major employers, the Meigs Mines and the Piketon uranium enrichment plant, will be closed by the end of 2001. Both reports are a clarion ca ll for something to be done before it's too late. Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton said it would take "an extraordinary effor t for us to sell the point that the Appalachi~ of today is not the Appalachia of the 1930s." Perhaps it's time for an extraordi nary effort to come forth and save the region from economic freefall. TODAY IN HISTORY BY TH E ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, July 16. the I 98th day of 2000.

Campaigns are in fi1ll swing, and the primary election has already passed. If you didn 't vote, you still have the chance this November in the general election If you've not regi stered yet - get busy' If you are a United States citizen, and will be 18 years old by th e November election, you likely are eligible to take advantage of your rights and freedoms by going to your county courthouse to ' . register to vote. Our system has made die process of registering and voting so easy that it's just laziness not to do so. You can register to vote several ways. First you can register at the county clerk's office by taking some identificatiOn and filhng out a very · simple form. You can also register_when getting your driver's license through the Motor Voter Program - also a very easy process. Most county clerk\ visit high schools in their county to give students an easy opportunity to get registered as soo n as they're eligible. With today's advanced technolob'Y· such as the lntt•rnet , some states are now even registering and voting 011-line! Don't forget about the deadlint'S. In wc:~t Virgmia, you must be registered 311 days before the electmn in wh1 ch you plan ro vote. If you :tre rcgi ~tered and can't be in your home area on Election Day, you're in lu ck. You can still vote. As long as you qualify under the requirements such as military sc::rvice away from thl· JTl'J, attending coll ege, or an out of town job where you cannot get to the polls due to dtstance. you can obtain an application throu gh the urcui t clerk's office to vote an absemee ballot . It's jmt as easy and f:m as voting at the polls. The b est part is that you won't mJi.o; out on havin g. yo ur voice heard and your votes count. Remember th e o nl y way your vote doesn't count is if you don't vote, and if you don't vote, YOU really don't co unt either. By not voting you are giving up your rights - espeually your ri ght to complain! You are also more to bl ame for the faults our system devd ops. It\ not a perfect system, but it is th e best in the world , and its success depends on your involvement. We are truly lucky in America. Our founders and toref.1th ers fought and struggled , and some even lost•th eu lives, so that we can enjoy the privileges of being Americans. So don 't forg et how easy it IS to register to vote, and cast your ballot for our leaders. You litill have time, so get registered and make your voice heard~ Jodi Clark Miss West Virginia Moundsville r.f11at to do?

Southern an d Underwood outlines state drug plan for senior citizens CHARLESTON (AP) Gov.

Und erwood anno~nced the idea Thursday at -the annual meeting of his Governor's Council, a group of people supporting the Republican governor's re - election bid. H e dubbed the pl an the Senior Prescription Assistanc e Network (SPAN), and said it could be used to help low-income seniors get the drugs they need. " I personally know that costs are a problem," the 77-year-old governor said . While ' he and his wife, Hovah, "have good health and good insurance ... our prescription drug used to he! ~ se nio rs purchase drugs that. aren't offered for free or redu ced cost .

Gaylene M iller, Commiss ioner of the state Burea u~of'Senior Services, said the plan would take up to $8 million of existing state lottery mo ney and use it to allow counties to hire n ew workers that would help seniors get low-cost drugs. "The idea wou ld be to have at least one warm body per county," Miller said. The workers wo uld be cou nty employees and would help eligible seniors apply for lowcost and free prescnption drugs.

Supporters now are looking for must- pass WASHINGTON (AP) - · Commercial airline pilots have dropped their opposition to certain government-required runway procedures, ending a dispute with the Federal Aviation Admlnistration that had threatened to disrupt travel in the busy summer season. ' · The FAA announced late Friday that ·an agreement .has been reached with airlines, pilots and others in the aviation industry over so-called "land and hold short" procedures. The pilots had maintained the procedures were not safe in some cases, so the FAA said it would make changes that addressed the pilots' concerns. As a result, the Air Line Pilots Association said that, effective July · 17, it willlifi its recommendation that its 58;000 members refuse to · comply with landing clearances 'using that procedure. When a pilot is told tQ land and hold short, he or she is expected to land and then stop before crossing an intersecting runway, allowing another plane to land or take off on that strip. The procedure increases the number of planes that can use an airport at the same time. Accepting a land and hold short clearance is up to the discretion · of the pilot in command and the pilots association claimed the procedure posed safety concerns in some cases. The pilOts association welcomed the settlement, in which the FAA said it will issue new rules governing these landings by Aug. 14. ALPA said the recommendation to decline such landings, to be ended in the United States beginningJuly 17, reffiains in place for tl.ights in Canada, where it contends procedures still need to be improved to ensure safety. The FAA announcement did not report what its order would include, but the pilOts association said it "is consistent with all criteria that ALPA had identified as necessary for safe operations." Among the ALPA concerns were pilot training, distances between planes, types of airports where the system is used and whether foreign pilots would use the procedure. &unbap lltimtll -itrnlintl • Page A7 to pre-empt food rules Industry pushing NATIONAL BRIEFS ca ncer-ca using agents or substances that are toxic to the reproductive system.

Tense moments as Camp David negotiators confront divides THURMONT, Md. - The Mideast peace negotiations at the secluded Camp David presidential retreat are focusing on bedro.ck differences. So it should come as no surprise that by all accounts - and not much is being · said publicly - that progress has been an . uphill struggle. President Climon tried to help bridge the divide as he met separately Friday with Israeli Primer Minister Ehud Barak and then separately with Palestinian leader Vasser Arafat. Later all three delegations met for a traditional Sabbath dinner, hosted by the Israeli prime minister. "These are intractable issues," said White House spokesman Joe Lockhart. "These are issues that go to the vital interests of both of the parties. So this is very serious." What is clear is that tensions are rising at the retreat in the Catoctin Mountains 90 miles northwest of Washington. One report had Palestinian leader Vasser Arafat at one point earlier in the week threatening to pack his bags and depart. After four days of talks, the core differences are said to remain: the status of Jerusalem, the drawing of borders of a Palestinian state and the fate of several million Palestinian refugees. . "There are tensions every day when you're working through these issues," Lockhart told reporters. A diplomatic source told The Associated Press that at this stage, there was no indication either side had changed its positions on those issues that matter most. U.S. officials have refused to discuss the substance of the talks, but have freely admitted from the start that the deep divisions between the two sides were making the negotiations a struggle. Episcopalians ponder approval DENVER (AP) - Episcopalians moved toward accepting samesex couples this .week by acknowledging their presence in the church, but they signaled they are not ready to sanction their relationships. Delegates to the 10-day Episcopal General Convention that ended Friday overwhehningly declared that the church should support unmarried couples- homosexual and heterosexual - in monogamous relationships honoring religious values. The step w.as not as big as gay and lesbian advocates wanted. Conservative Episcopalians thought it was a move in the wrong direction. "It moves us significantly forward on the issue of full inclusion ;• said the Rev. Susan Russell of Los Angeles, a member of Integrity, a gay and lesbian advocacy group. · Some Episcopal congregations bless same-sex unions without churchwide sanction and ordain homosexual priests. There was speculation that the church might codifY those practices, but a resolution to do so was shelved. Episcopalians who belong to the conservative group called the American Anglican Council, which believes homosexuality violates biblical and church teachings, said in a statement: "It i; sadly evident to us that rwo strikingly different churches exist under the same ~ TOOl.

MIAMI {AP) - Hit with the biggest jury verdict in U.S. histo- · ry, the nation.'s top five cigarette makers remained hopeful they won't have to pay the full amount of the staggering $145 billion penalty to sick Florida smokers. "There's probably not ~ country in the world that can withstand a verdict this size," said Philip Morris Inc. attorney Dan Webb, whose company on Friday was ordered to pay $73.96 billion. Defendants were confident that either the judge will gut the award or the entire case will be overturned on appeal. Jurors took less than five hours to reach the decision following a rwo-year'class-action trial covering 300,000 to 700,000 smokers. They also ordered RJ Reynolds to pay $36.28 billion, Brown &Williamson $17.59 billion, Lorillard Tobacco $16.2'5 billion, aiid ~ Liggett -~Group Inc. $790 million . "Finally tf\ey got tagged. Finally they got hit. The day of reckoning was delayed in corning and they should just take it," said smokers' attorney Stanley Rosenblatt, who hugged several clients after the verdict was read. "This was never only about money. This was about showing these companies up for what they really are." Tobacco lawyers had said they could afford $150 million to $375 million, but the companies would be put out of business if the award went much higher. Under cannot Floridabankrupt law, a apunitive verdict defendant. " It was a fatally flawed process. This whole trial was ," said Don Donahue, a Reynolds senior vice president. He said there is "no way" tl,e verdict will be upheld on appeal. It was the thud time the jury has deliberated in the case, the first smokers' class-action lawsuit Cellular Service Just Cot Bi r & Better to go to trial. The panel decided in July 1999 that the industry makes a deadly product. in April, the jury ordered the industry to pay $12.7 million in compensatory damages to three smokers representing the class. The smokeFS had wanted the tobacco companies to pay S196 billion as punishment for making a product that kills 430,000 Americans a year and for misleading the public since the 1950s, when internal research concluded smoking causes cancer. Top executives from all five defendants made unusual appearances to testify t"hey didn't deserve to be punished because they have changed their ways and are already committed to paying billions of dollars to settle the lawsuits brought by the states. "This historic verdict sends a powerfu!Signil !hat Big Tobacco will be held accountable for the addiction and disease it causes every day, and that it will pay for continuing to lure children into its death trap;' said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, an outspoken industry critic. Stock prices of the five companies were down moderately following the ruling. Mary Farnan, one of three Florida smokers representing the entire class during the trial, called the verdict "absolute justice." "I'm sincerely happy for all of these people," said the north Florida nurse who developed lung cancer after smoking for 29 ·· years.

"Let's tell him to leave the !flOSS in Texas," Gore said. He also criticized Bush for runmng a ''photo-op" campaign that Qore only "invokes the vocabulary· of the mainstream." The vice president, in prepared . remarks to a Saturday conference of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, seized on a report in Friday's Dallas Morning News that said more than 1 million Texas children who qualified for federally funded summer nutrition programs last year went unserved. And, the Texas Department of Human Services left $33 million in federal school-lunch programs unused, the newspaper reported. uThis week, as Governor Bush was traveling from l'hotoop to photo-op. trying to put the compassion into his conservatism, we learned that he failed to use tens of millions of dollars budgeted to feed poor and hungry children during the summer months;' said Gore, the Democratic presidential candidate. "Just because school . is out doesn't mean that hunger takes a summer vacation or that leadership can go on leave;' he added. Taking one more dig at Bush's campaign slogan of "compassionate conservatism," Gore said, " We don't need his rhetoric , we have his record." Gore, who has sought throughout this presidential campaign to cast himself as the better-qualified steward of the national economy and federal budget, also decried recendy disclosed budget problems in Texas, where Bush has served as governor since 1995. Gore said Saturday: "When he was asked why Texas was suddenly facing a (budget) shortfall, Governor Bush told the Dallas Morning News: ' I hope I'm not here to have to deal with it.' With all due respect to Governor Bush, America can't afford to deal with it, either. I say let's tell him to leave the mess in Texas." Emphasizing "fiscal discipline" to his fiscally conservative leaning audience of moderate Democrats, Gore continued : "We can't go back to the days of deficits, debt, and economi c decline.'' This week, Texas officials disclosed that they had underestimated spending needs on Medicaid and criminal justice programs by roughly $600 million when the budget was drawn up, eating into a surplus estimated at roughly $1 billion. Gore blamed the state's di~­ ished su rplus pn the $1.7 billidw in tax cuts signed into Texas law · last year by Bush. · The tax cuts, on real estate, consumer sales and businesses, Gore said, "served the powerful interests." The Texas Legislature IS expected to approve a su~ple­ mental spending bill to cover the Medicaid and crimin al-justice · costs when it convenes next year. Bush has defended his record in the state, saying "Ours is a balanced-budget state and we've always balanced the budget." He says Gore is guilty of misrepresenting the facts if he wants people to believe that Texas' surplus has been wiped·out. Gephardt under consideration/as running mate WASHINGTON (AP) House Minority . Leader Dick Gephardt, a top prospect to be AI Gore's running mate, urged the vice president in a private conversation to pick somebody else, according to Democratic officials who say the Missouri lawmaker is still a potential pick. Parry sources have said the Missouri lawmaker and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry appear to be the strongest candidates to be Gore's choice, but Gephardt's staff worked Friday to dampen speculation. Sen. Bob Graham of Florida and former Sen. George Mitchell of Maine round out the top tier, with several other names still in the mix. Gore's Republican rival, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, has narrowed his choices, but he, too, is said to still have several people under consideration . They include New York Gov. George Pataki, who met with Bush Friday to discuss the vice presidency. Two other Republican governors, Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania and Frank Keating of Oklahoma, are considered by GOP officials to be more likely choices. Selecting Gephardt for the Democratic ticket would leave a hole in the party's House leadership, just as the party is trying to erase the Republicans' paper- ACLU wants snooping system revealed WASHINGTON (AP) Using the Freedom of Information Act, the American C ivil Liberties Union is trying to force the FBI to disclose details of the inner workings of its Carnivore system that can snoop one-mails, officials announced Friday.

Gephardr hopJs to be speaker in a Democratif-led House, and his allies on, Capitol Hill have predicted he wouldn't rake the running mare's job though news of the meeting wiih Gore shook their confidence. Gore and his advisers, including former Secretary of State Warren Christopher and campaign chairman William Daley, are not discussing the process. , Thus, the Democratic officials '-cautioned that handicapping the decision-making was an · inexact exercise. However, several Democratic sources, including one familiar with Gore's running mare oper- · arion, said Gephardt and Gore talked privately last weekend about the impact of putting the lawmaker on the ticket. The Gephardt adviser said he sought the meeting to point Gore in another direction . His message to Gore was, "If you really think I could make a difference then we should have a conversation, but (taking a spot on the ticket) would be a hard tlung to do and I really trunk you should look at other people;· the adviser-said. · Gephardt, chief architect of the party's bid to reclaim the House, has -decided riot to participate in the customary candi- PLAN ARE YOU INVESTING YOUR 401 {K) date background check, according to a Gephardt adviser who spoke on condition of anonymity. The source close to Gore said Gephardt's entreaty and decision not to undergo a background check don 'r necessarily mean he won't be asked to take the job, though the vice president "is aware of the downside" to picking him. Gephardt, 59, requested the meeting after Christopher repeatedly made it clear Gephardt was under consideration. The breakfast meeting occurred Saturday at the vice president's residence .· Gephardt's spokeswoman, Laura Nichols , said her boss "is focused on winning back the House. He's leaving the speculation to others." M any Democrats, including some close to Gore; believe Gephardt would help the vice president shore up his support with the liberal wing of the party, particularly labor, as well as improve his prospects in a key battleground state. A failed presidential candidate in 1988, Gephardt is accustomed .to the scrutiny of the national stage. He has traveled the country for years on behalf af House Democratic candidates.

The fint-year manager for the Cleveland lndia!!s is starting to get the same feeling about rookie slugger Russell Branyan. "Russell keeps improving and he has a chance to be a very special !titter;• Manuel said Friday night .after Branyan drove in four runs to help Finley to a 9-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. "Any time Russell makes good, hard contact he moves the ball," Manuel said. Branyan hit his 12th homer in just 92 at-bats some 432 feet to center field with two runners on in the second inning, staking Finley to a 3-0 lead. Branyan added a sa~rifice fly during a five-run fifth for his third four-RBl game this season. ".It's always easy to work when you have some runs," Finley (8-6) said. "Your mistakes don't loom as large when you already have some runs." Finley allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings in his fint outing since being the only AL AU-Star not to play in his team's 6-2 victory over the NL in Atlanta on Tuesday night. The lefi-hander, signed as a free agent last winter after 14 years with the Angels, improved to 5- 1 with a 2.~3 ERA at Jacobs Field this sea- son. Kevin Young hit solo homers in the fourth and ninth innings for Pittsburgh. It was his fifth career multihomer game. Manny Ramirez opened the Cleveland second with a single and went to second on Jim Thome's single. Branyan then hit connected off Kris Benson (8-7). Pittsburgh made it 3-1 in the third on an lUll groundour by Jason Kendall . Young pulled Pittsburgh to 3- 2 in the fourth by lining his 14th homer into the stands in rightcenter. He homered again to nearly the same spot leading off the ninth against Justin Speier. Cleveland regained its two-run lead in the bottom of the fourth. Travis Fryman doubled, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Kenny Lofton's broken-bat, bloop single to center. The Indians went ahead 9-2 with a five-run fifth that began with three straight singles, included sacrifice flies by Fryman and Branyan and was capped by Sandy Alomar's two-run double. Reliever Jeff Wallace hit one batter, walked another, and threw a wild pitch to fuel the rally. · Reds Notes: Rain delayed the start I ho ur, 23 minutes ....

Neatly folded in his locker Friday was a gray T-shi rt, featuring the New York logo and three words Pride, Tradition and Courage. Neagle held up the shirt and studied it for several seconds. "What kid ~owing up wouldn't dream about playing in the pinstripes?" he said later. Traded by Cincinnati this week, Neagle was delayed by bad weather in getting to Yankee Stadium. His original flight earlier in the day from Denver, where the Reds were playing Colorado, was canceled. But Neagle, one of baseball's more colorful characters, was nor daunted. He arrived about 2 1/ 2 hours before a game against the Florida Marlins, called his mom on a cellphone, greeted a few teanunates and got a pat on the back from manager Joe Torre. Known for making kooky noises, he even unleashed a favorite· sound effect in an interview room - a deafening, dead-on imitation of a train whistle. sweeping changes in revenue sharing NEW YORK (AP) - After studying baseball's economics for 1 l / 2 years, a panel of experts recommended Friday the sport vastly increase revenue sharing among its teams and perhaps even move franchises. Baseball admitted its clubs had a collective $1.4 billion in operaring losses since the start of the 1994-95 strike and are a collective $2. 1 billion in debt. Only rhree teams - the New York Yankees, Cleveland and Colorado - have been profitable since the strike. The four-man group, which had access to all of the sport's financial data, didn't say the sport needs a salary cap and didn't recommend changes to free agency or salary arbitration. Instead, the economic study committee urged baseball to impose a 50 percent luxury taX on payrolls above $84 million; proposed sharing 40-50 percent of local revenues after ballpark expenses; and reconunended that new national broadcasting, licensing and Internet revenue be distributed unequally to assist lowrevenue clubs, provided that they meet a minimum payroll of $40 million. "We do not pretend to believe these changes will be easy or universally popular,'' said former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, one of the panelists. "We do believe them to be a solution to the alarming disparities between baseball's haves and have-nots." Also on the panel were former Federal Reserve boa;d chairman Paul Vokker, Yale president Richard Levin and political commentator George Will. The New York Yankees, with a payrollof about St15 .;:;;llion including benefits, would have to pay a tax of about SIS million this year under the committee's proposed formula, and their revenuesharing bill would increase from $25 million to $40 million or higher. Minnesota has the low payroll, about $20 million. No changes are possible until after baseball's curre nt labor agreement expires, probably after the 2001 season. Union head Donald Fe hr said the union is likely to exercise its option to extend the current labor contract through the 2001 season. a decic sion that must be made by Aug. 31, but said he needed time to study the 87 -page report before responding in detail on its findmgs. "There is no hard cap. Obviously. that is good," Fehr said. "HopefuUy, that issue is behind us. The union agreed to a luxury taX for the 1997-99 seasons, but it affected only the top five reams by payroll each year at a rate of 34-35 percent and had only a slight dtag on payroll growth. Asked if that was a failure, commissioner Bud Selig wouldn't answer directly but said, "My 7year-old granddaughter Marissa,! think she's already made that judgment." During the 232-day strike, which wiped out the World Series for the first time in 90 years, the union resisted any attempt to impose a salary cap or a taX that wouldn't massively slow salary growth. To back up its contention that dispariry between the large and smaU markers has grown , the committee cited statistics showing that teams among the top 50 percent of payrolls won all postseason games in the last five years and that nine of the 10 teams in the World Series were among the top 25 percent of payrolls. "I told. the clubs today we're done making believe it doesn't exist," Selig said of dispariry. The suggestion that baseball study relocating teams is likely to. stir the most debate. Baseball has not moved a team since the Washington Senators-became theTexas Rangers after the 1971 season. "If an area doesn't want to support a ream, that answers itself,'' Volcker said. Montreal, Florida, Minnesota and Oakland all have run into problems. "Clubs that have little likelihood of securing a new b:illnark or other ... e vcnue-enL.~., . _irig activities should have the opportuniry to relocate," Mitchell sai~. .

"But we mu st thmk they arc going to get It by osmosis or something." The No. 1 problem for the NCAA these days is· gambling, sat d D ea na Y. Garner an NCAA gambling represent;tive who spoke at the Sun Belt workshop. "Especially with its availabiliry on the Internet," Garner said. "There are between 750 and 800 offshore web sires for gambling. We think it's dangerous and I certainly think warning high school athletes is a good idea . They're sure going to be warned by the time they get to college." The NCAA this 'spring met with 200 players at the Nike AllAmerican camp to discuss those issues.

The Tax Court is unlikely to act up qn the family's request before summer of 2001, the Brown fam~ ily said. Family members sa1d they will not make any other comments because the case is pending in court. It is the fanuly's second major issue with the IRS in recent years. In 1997, a federal tax judge ruled in favor of the family in a dispute in which the IRS said taxes were o.w.ed fmm the . estate of team founder Paul Brown. The family disagreed. Fanuly members later said that, had the IRS won the dispute, the family probably would have bee n forced to sell the Bengals to pay more than $40 million in taxes. That dispute centered on a 1983 sale ofBengals stock by Paul Brown to former team pre~adent John Sawyer. Th e Brown family said the sale divested their fath er of all but one share of the Bengals, while giving them an op tion to repurchase the shares after his 1991 death . The family exec uted the option in 1993. The IRS said the stock sale was a ploy to escape estat e taxes . averag~d ketball and AAU progrJJm. you donft know what !heY face.

The Brown family said Friday it filed petitions asking the court in Washington, D.C., to confirm the accurac y of the tax returns that family members filed as a result of the 1996 transactions. The dealings were disclosed to I I the Internal Revenue Service in those tax returns which were filed on time, the family said. ·. ~ ~-.-~-~.~ Substantial taxes were paid on those deals, the family said, declining to elaborate. " In completing these transac. tions, the family relied upon a national valuation· firm the IRS has also used,'' the family said in its statement Friday. "The IRS is now seeking addi tional taxes based upon more rece nt sales of NFL franchise s in other cities. The Brown family believes that irs o ri ginal filings were appropriate and is now asking the Tax Court to confirm the accuracy of the returns as filed."

Sunday, July 16, 2000 Sunday, July 16,20oo Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV COLLEG.E BASKETBALL _ . DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - In a world o f lolid and flashy basketball coaches , Ohvcr Purnell has quietly rebuilt a University o f Dayton program that once was a natiOnal powerhouse and is aching for a re turn to glory. The Flyers won th e NIT championship in 1962 and 1968 and finished third in the NCAA tournament in 1965. But Purnell found the team in critical condition when he was hired six years ago. Dayton had won only I 0 games in the previous two seasons and had not been to the NCAA tournament in four years. He delivered a winning season in his second year and this year produced an NCAA bid and the Flyers' best record - 22-9 since 1967. ")t's certainly the toughest job I've ever had, but it's probably the most rewarding," he said. The 47-year-old has had to endure the disbanding of a league that \eft Dayton out in the cold, the death of a star player, charges against three players after a campus fight and penalties for NCAA rules violations. Yet he calmly directs his troops without . the outbursts so common in college coaching ranks, said Claude Stafford, a friend from Purnell's days at Old Dominion. "Very seldom do you ever see him lose his cool," Stafford said. Senior center Mark Ashman said Purnell can ·g et fired up when necessary. "He'll get on you when you need it. But he always seems to be in control, always knows what he's going to do," Ashman said. An out-of-control coach can lead to outof-control players, Purnell says. "You try to deal with officials in a certain , way. You certainly want to get their attention. But you can get in the guy's ear and let him know how you feel without embar· rassing him." Purnell's love affair with basketball began 40 years ago on a dirt court in the Maryland beach town of Berlin. There, he learned skills that took him to state high ; school championships, an NCAA title and a · tryout with the NBA 's Milwoukee Bucks. : Cut by Milwaukee, Purnell became an assistant at Old Dominion, a school he had led to th e NCAA Division II championship in 1975 as a player. Th e roller coaster ride at Dayton began with th e collapse of the Great Midwest co nference. But the following year Dayton wa s o ffered a me mbership in the highly regarded Atlanti c I 0, which includes such ba sketball powerho;uses as Temple and Xavier. In 1996 6-foot-10 senior Chris Daniels, . pelled Dayton into the national spotlight . "It wasn't a fluke," Purnell said. "It sent a message to the country that we were a pretty good basketball team." Bur there were nervous moments wher the 64-team NCAA field was announced . Dayton was the final squad. "Those guys were on the ceiling and on the floor," Purnell recalled of the locker room scene . "I will always remember that room exploded - some guys going up, some guys going down." Dayton lost a heartbreaker to Purdue in "The experieuce of coaclling a the first round, 62-6 I.

(AP) Notre Dame didn 't waste any time in offering Mike Brey the job as its basketball coach, and Brey didn't hesitate in accepting. Brey, who is 99-52 in five years at Delaware, was introduced as Notre Dame's new coach at a news conference Friday. "It was offered to him because he was deemed to be the best fit for Notre Dame," Fighting Irish spokesman John Heisler said. Brey replaces Matt Doherty, who left Tuesday to take over at North Carolina. Brey met with a three-member committee from Notre Dame on Thursday night in Washington. He returned home to Newark, DeL , where he got a call after midnight and accepted immediately, The Wilmington (DeL) New.s Journal reported on its Web site. "This is one you've got to do," Brey told the newspaper, which reported he received a sevenyear contract. Brey had just signed a five - year contract extension at Delaware after guiding the Blue Hens to their third consecutive 20-victory season and the school's first NIT bid. Brey, 41, is 99-52 in five years at Delaware. He worked previously as an assistant to Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewsk.i, helping guide the Blue Devils to six Final Fours over an eightyear span. . "What a perfect fit! Mike · has the background which is totally suited for the level of success that Notre Dame wants and deserves," Krzyzewski said in a sta tement. "He and his family will be absolutely terrific in rep- resenting Notre Dame." , Heisler denied reports that Notre Dame had first offered Oregon coach Ernie Kent .~he ~, position . " No one else was offered the job," Heisler said . "Mike Br,e y was the only person offered r)le job." Heisle-r sald that Brey and one other coaching candidate ·~iet Thursday night with the R~v. Edward A. Malloy, Notre Daml''s president; Patrick E McCart;(n, chairman of the board of trustees; and Nathan Hatch, the university's provost. HeisJer would not identify the other candidatf, though Kent wa~ ,~n Washington to meetmg W)th Notre Dame officials. The Regi ster- Guard of Eugene, Ore., reported that Kept was offered a seven-year contract worth about $700,000, bur turned it down. "What I found out is that thh need someone in place now. · I can't do that," Kent told The Register- Guard. "I have family considerations, I have university considerations and there are roo many things involved for m~ to do something like this so qujcll.- 1y... • '' Afrer guiding the Ducks to the NIT semifinals in 1999, Ken1's name began popping up in di~­ cussions about various coaching vacancies, including . Notre Dame's . Coaching the Irish would have raised Kent's narional proftle instantly, but hts loyalty to Oregon was more important. "It wasn't about the money," Kent said. "Notre Dame called, and I looked into it, and this is the outcome." Last Tuesday's all-star game received the lowest television rating in history.

Jane Haga has been living with lymphedema, a se rious lifelong side effect, as a result of her surgery arid radiation treatments for breast cancer. Lymphedema is a painful swelling of a body part due to the disruption of the lymphatic system by removing lymph nodes or trauma. This some times debilitating condition affects about 15 percent of people with node dissection, a,nd if the patient has had radiation, the chance of risk increases to approximately 46 p e rce nt . "Most people have no" problems following surgery, " sta tes Karen Meadows, Li censed Massage Therapist a nd Lymphedema Specia li st at Holzer Medica l Center," howeve r, there is a lifelong risk and precautions should be taken to protect yourself from swe lling and infection." Meadows leads the Lymphedema Program at HMC and Amy Mape s, LMT, has recently initiated the progtam at the J enkins Clinic in Wellston . Lymphedemas are b est clasSified as primary and secondary.

I love to sec how people live in different parts of the world, and I really enjoy talking to the residents. However. I will say I would love to go back to New Zealand. Some call it the Garden of Eden of the world : I really enjoyed the h ospital ity that was given t o me there. I met a m an on my flight to New Zealand who lived th ere and who was a travel age nt. He asked to see my ticket. After looking at it for some time, he said he could change it so I could go to Australia, Bali, Indo n esia and come back by Alaska and from th ere to Columbus, OhiO, at a cos t of o nly S235 more. I told h im if he would do that for m e I would give him an extra $50 . He said he did not want my money-he would do this as a favor. As we were getting off the plane, he asked where I was staying. I said, " I did n.ot have a reservation but 1 figured I co uld fmd a hot el room." The man said, " Be my guest and you can stay at my hous e.T hat was hard to turn d own so I accepted hi s invitation . He and his wife had two beautiful c hildren and they tre ated me wonderful. Once again, I offered to give him money but he would not take it. I later found out all the peop le in New Zealand are like that . Then later. while 1 was staying at a hotel in New Zealand on the same trip, I was -walking down the st reet and saw a photo studio . sign . I walked into the store and showed the owner my busi n ess card that c- - - 1 h - -a --sat'd 1. was . protesstona p atographer. After talking to him a few minutes, he closed his d' d 'd " G · · stu 10 an sat , .et 111 my car and I wi ll show yo u around." We stopped many places and th e tour lasted three hours and a half hours. When we got back he said, "I 3111 going to hJ.ve a p arty for you to night . I will pick you up at your hotel at 6 p.m." He did and l had a wonderful happy eve nin g that I will never forget. They treated m e like l was one of the family.

After a nice long talk. he inv it ed me to his 20,000- acre ranch, where they were ha ving a s h eep shearin g contest. It was llnb elicvable how fast they cou ld shear a sheep. Once they got that sheep poSJtioned, 1t was only miiwtcs unttl 1t wa ~ completely sheared . They have many of these contests to see who can shear a sheep the fastest. When it was tim e to leave, he insisted that I spent the night with him and his wife, and I had a wonderful time . They were great hosts, and his wife was almost as good a cook as my wife is, and that's saying a lot! On his ranch he had 15,000 sheep and five highly trained sheep dogs. When he whistled the signal to round up .the sheep, they did it. No person cou ld have done it better. Those dogs were train ed so well that he protected them from o ther people-he wouldn't let anyone else touch them . H e said, "If any other p erson touches or pets them, th ey would not mind me anymore." He said they were priceless and h e would not sell them to anyone . He drove me over his pa stures where I saw the · most beautiful velvet green fields I cou ld ever imagine. I didn't know pastures co uld be so beautiful. I stayed nine days in New Zealand and visited with some of the most pleas ant people l have ever met in all my world travels. The cou ntry is beautiful with both its beaches an d its snow ski lod ges. There are also geysers, gurgling mud pools, and bubbling c rystal hot springs everywh e re .

" As far as name brands, 'Tommy' is on its way out and Polo Jean Company Ralph Lauren is A- number- 1," Mullins sai d. Mullins and staff often hit the big shows in New York and Chicago to keep themselves on the cutting edge of fashion. "Capes are hu ge for . every age group and so are hooded sweaters and sweatshirts," he said. Denim is still in but with a new rwist. This year colored contrast stitching is the rage. "Cargo pants are on their way out and 9orduroy Capri pants are tak.ing,.p\jer," Mullins said. Le.athe'r jackets and vests are malting a comeback, too. And for the strapping young lad? "L2 by Levi iS a hot lin e right now," said H askins Tanner owner Hob Hood. "They come in a ca rpenter-sryle jean ." Hood said anything with cargo pockets is really " in," too. And to the dismay of many parents, yes, the baggy look with the wide leg is still "the bomb." "A lot of treatments on jeans like cell phone and pager pockets are huge," Hood said. "That wiU be the 'new' jean coming in for back to schooL" The new fabric for shorts and slacks is "micmfiber," but Levis are still king ofT-shim, walking shorts and jeans.

Among the hottest items to carry over from summer are Capri pants, but for fall they're coming in heavier weight fabrics, including denim. Flared legs and button flies, . white washed but not as white as stone washed, are new to the scene of flared legged jeans, in denim and khak.i, for girls. Also new this fall for b-oth preteens and teens arc long flannel boxer pants. Tie dye is back, in bold and bright multicolors, even neon. A fashion trend apparent in the stock of the Pomeroy store is a switch from long sleeves and tunic lengths for teenage girls, to shorter tops with threo- quarter length sleeves, and styles to emphasize shape. Long-sleeved Jerseys with hoods are hot for the guys and si nce T-shim and crew necks never go out of style, Pami da has stocked plenty, along with nylon jogging pants and sweat suits. The younger set will find plenty of Pokemon collectibles in stock. Overall and even more pre\'a lent this year for every age group you will find that "Flower Power" rules the racks.

Since then, ketchup has been made with everything from oysters , blueberries, mushrooms, anchovies, walnuts , grapes, plums or almos t any assortment of fruits . ·Even today, British catsup is a spicy liquid made with a base of .mushrooms, unripe walnuts or oysters that's used primarily as a seasoning for coo king. Americans are credited with first ntying tomatoes as a base for the sauce, and H-J. H einz is said to have perfected the recipe and popularized the product as early as 1876.

WV Squire Parsons to perform at Pomeroy Amphitheater Bv CHARlENE HOEFliCH POMEROy Squire Parsons, one of America's best loved gospel singers and a prolific songwriter, will be featured in a concert to be presented in the Pomeroy amphitheater Saturday at 7 p.m. He comes to the local stage under sponsorship of the First Southern Baptist C hurch. "The Ga briel Quartet" will also be performing. Parsons' ca reer in gospel music began in 1975 when he joined the Kingsmen Quartet as a baritone singer. Since then his popularity in gospel singer circles has soared. In 1978 he was nominated by Singing News for favorite baritone, favorite gospel songwriter, and favorite gospel singer. In 1986 and 1987 he was named favorite baritone,' and in 1986, 1992, 1993 ; I 994 and 1995 , he was named favorite gospel songwr iter. In 1988 he received the title of favorite Southern Gospel male singer. In 1990 he was presented the coveted Marvin Norcross Award, given for devotion to family, service to church, . i rivolvemen t 1n community affairs, and contributions to the gospel music industry. He was also nominated for the Dove Award for male vocalist and songwriter. In 1981 his song, "Sweet Beulah Land" was voted favorite song by singing News.

This will not be Parsons' first appearance in local concerts. He was the featured artist in a gospel concert presented in the amphitheater last year. In the event of rain, Saturday night's concert will be moved to the First Southern Baptist Church located at the intersection of State Route 7 and Route 33 near Meigs High School. Refreshments will be served on the Pomeroy parking lot that evening by the Meigs Band Boosters. ENTERTAIMENT TRIVIA Even when there is none playing, we often hear it inside our heads. Because music occupies so much of our lives, could it have played an important role in the development of the species' Some scientists have recently proposed that tnusic may have been an evolutio nary adaptation, like upright walking or spoken language, that arose early in human . history and helped the species survive. "Of cou rse it"s utter speculation," says David Huron, a professor of music at Ohio State University in Columbus. M ost experts still assume music was a culmral invention, like cave painting or writing, that humans invented to make their lives easier or more pleasant. Yet Huron and many of his colleagues wonder if music might have biological roots. The "music gene" would have arisen tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago, and conferred an evolutionary advantage on those who possessed it. Namral selection would have nurmred the gift of music, favoring those who possessed it with more offipring who were themselves more likely to reproduce. There are several things about music that suggest it has biological roots: For o ne thing, music is ubiquitous. From the tribal dances of the Amazon to the frenetic raves of Amsterdam, every culture makes music an essential part of its rimals. You simply can't find people who don't sing, chant or beat on drums. ' That music is everywhere suggests it arose early in the history of the species, before humans scattered across the globe and developed manifold cultures. In fact, concrete evidence of music's antiquity exists in the form of a carved bone flute found recendy in a cave in Slovenia.The "Divje babe flute;• as musicologists call it, is the oldest known musical instrument. It dates back 40,000 years, to a time wh~n Europe and much of North America were mantled in ice, and humans lived side by side with Neanderthals. ' If the oldest instruments exis~ 40,000 years ago, then vocal music probably goes back twice as far, Huron speculates - perhaps even to the dawn of the species. Another line of evidence to support music as an evolutiohary adaptatio'n: Some people with brun damage to the tight temporal lobe can't remember tunes. In one experiment, a man with right tempo~ lobe damage could not name a single tune played for him - but when he was read the lyrics to the same songs he correcdy identified 24 out of25. During a recent meeting ar the New York Academy of Sciences, Isabel Peretz of the Univenity of Montreal described seve~ such people. Researchers have also shown with brain imaging studies that when most people hear music, the right tempo~ lobe is activated.

Punitive damages awarded MIAMI (AP) -A Jury ordered the tobacco industry Fnday to pay $145 billion in punitive damages to sick Florida smoker., a recordshattering verdict that the ogarette companies had clauned would amount to a "death warrant." Lawyers for B1g Tobacco had sa.td that the five companies could alfotd to pay only S 150 million to $375 million, and that the comparues would be put out of business if the awatd went much higher. Under Flonda law, a punitive verd.ict cannot·bankrupt a defendant.

(AP) - Life on the farm can be fun, especiaily for a kid, but an ounce of carelessness can leave a child scarred. maimed or dead. It's the reason behind the Farm Safery Day Camp, which farmer Karen Skeets holds once a year at the Ozark Fairgrounds. "We need it. You read about too many deaths (of kids) on farms," Skeets said while conducting her • most recent camp. Skeets said she came up with the idea while reading a magazine at her poultry and cattle farm at Branch one night. She was pregnant at the time and the message hit home. "One hundred thousand kids are injured -every year in agricultural accidents. And those are just the numbers that required hospitalization or medical care," she said. :,, Skeets read about the ProgresJive Farm Safery Day Camp and ciUed the company 110 find out how she could start one in Arkansas. P-i ogtes.ive has been sponsoring camps across the nation since 1995 . The Ozark camp . moves 10 groups of kids through I 0 different classes in a day. The lessons include First Aid, all-terrain-vehicle safety, PTO, or "power-take-off;' safery; hidden ha:zards, firearm safery and snakes. After Skeets completed a training session in Dallas, she was iUowed to open the one-day camp using the Progressive name. Progressive provides T-shirts, goody-bags and insurance; Skeets provides the rest through donations. Her first camp, in 1998, had 118 children and last year's had 190. Her session April 29 drew 208. Nationally, there were 229 camps in 1999 with 40,000 kids attending. Skeets drew children to the Ozark Fairgrounds this spring from seven counties in western A!"kansas and one counry in eastern Oklahoma. "Keep away from the PTOs (power-take-off). Farm Bureau.)

"If I have a 0.2-second reaction time, I'll just get a goose bump. If not, you're dead or injured." A power-take-off is used to tap the power source of a tractor to help run other machinery. Resulting accidents can be severe. Tommy Frank, a farmer and one of the PTO instructors, was speaking from experience when he told the kids to be safe. Frank lost his right arm in a PTO accident 12 year.; ago. "Kids are asking the right questions and listening a lot better than I thought they would," Frank said. Besides listening to stories about horrible accidents, the kids were taught a new appreciation for snakes - hands on. "Most people who get bitten by snakes are trying to kill them. If you get bitten. stay calm, get to a phone and get to a doctor," said Millie Phillips, who ciUed herself"The Snake Lady." While walking around the room with a nonpoisonous corn snake, Phillips told the kids not to kill the snakes they may find on their farms because they keep down the mice, rat and frog populations. All but one camper touched the snake. Instructors at the camp are volunteers, including farmers, police officers and members of groups such as the Arkansas Farm Bureau. "This· program is important because they (kids) get to realize farrrung is work. Driving a tractor is as fun as riding a bicycle, but they realize it is work and there's some danger in it;' said Andy Guffey of the Farm Bureau. Skeets knew her camp was doing some good when she got a card from a 16-year-old who attended her camp last year. "He wrote, 'I thought I knew everytl),ing and found out I didn't.' If you can get a 16-year-old to admit that, that's great," Skeets said. Meigs County's Volume so, Number l6 Hometown Newspaper so Cents Middleport • Pomeroy.
