LEAcH FROM STAFF REPORTS SENTINEL NEWS STAFF BIDWELL - Students and staff at Bidwell- Porter Elementary School have begun the healing process in the waktof a murder-suicide invo lving a school employee and her estranged husband . Classes were canceled at B-P Tuesday after Linda J. Shoemaker, 52, was ·shot and killed by her husband Frank Shoemaker, 66, in the school parking lot around 6 :25 a.m .. authorities said. Frank Shoemaker was found dead shortly afterward, slumped in a lawn chair in the fiunt yard of his Story's Run Road residence near Cheshire. Dr. Daniel Whiteley, Gallia County coro ner, said he used the same gun to shoot himself in the head. No students or teachers wen· present when Linda Shoemaker was killed, authorities said. Shots were heard by another cook, who called authorities . She was head cook at D-P and had been a full - time Gallia County Local Schools employee since August 1992, Superintendent Robert Larlr ning said. She had bee n on the diliitrict's substitute staff sinn· the 1984-85 school ye ar. he added .

Pomeroy Fire Chief Chris Shank asl<'cd counci l to consider bidding for new extraction equipment because the equipment that the department uses now is o utdated and worn. Item s included in Shank's req1test was a new spreader, cutter, power units, chains, stabilizer blocks, and hydraulic rants. "We really need this new equipment," Shank said. "With car designs changing every day, the old eqllipment that we use is starting to become old and obsolete." "The quicker that we can extricate someo ne fron1 a wreck, the better chance we have of saving their life," added Sll'ank . Shank informed co uncil the old equipment would not be sold and that it' would, in fact, be use d for emergency b ackup if n eeded . Coun cil agreed to Shank's request and informed him to beg:i n contacting extrication equipment dealers for ·v arious b1ds. Shank asked council to consider th e purchase of 20 new pa gers that would replace the old ones that the department cu rrently uses because of a new poli cy that was set by the "EMS Board o fTrustees . "Our old pagers run on a low band and high band frequency, " saj d Shank . "The new policy, which will begin on January 1, 2001, will o nly permit the use of hi gh band frequencY pagers. " "The re ason for this is that klwcr band frequencies seem t o draw power away from hi gher band frequencies," added Sha nk. Coun cil con sid~red the situ ation and agreed to purchase th e page rs for the fire department at a cost of $300-$400 per pager. Shank delivered his fire report for th e month of August. Th e report indi cated that there- was one structure fire, fom mutual aids, three auto accidents, o ne auto fire, on e brush fire. o ne electric lin e down, and two false alarms . In o th er matters, Mayor John lllacttnar inform ed council that the • n ew ly constructed water well in Syracuse is perfor ming as well as expected and that . according to Village Administrator Jo hn Anderson, thL" construction of a new water t reatment plant co uld possibl y be in th e village's future .

Seven states, led by Delaware, Texas and Maryland, have seen caseloads drop by more th~n 40 percent. The decline is due partly to the booming economy and a 1996 ban on benefits to inunigrants, but federal officials say many poor people don't know they are eligible for the stamps or left the program beca use of bureaucratic red tape. The government estimates that 37 percent of people eligible fo.r food stamps aren't getting them . "We need to do as much as we can at the federal and state levels to ensure that working families get the easy access to nutritional assisunce that they need," said Andy Solomon, a spokesman for the Agriculture Department, which ad1ninisters the program. USDA analysts say the good economy accounts for 28 percent to 35 percent of the decrease in participation since 1996. Some 935,000 legal immigrants, less than 5 percent of the 1996 caseload, lost their food stamp eligibility under a federal welfare system overhaul that year. Congress later restored benefits to 250,000 elderly, disabled and minor immigrants. • Othrr Stnkes Ad~ertblnK .. ••"""'""'""" """"'"' ... Ext. 1104 CIKu latlon......................................

Seven states, led by Delaware, Texas and Maryland, have seen caseloads drop by more th~n 40 percent. The decline is due partly to the booming economy and a 1996 ban on benefits to inunigrants, but federal officials say many poor people don't know they are eligible for the stamps or left the program beca use of bureaucratic red tape. The government estimates that 37 percent of people eligible fo.r food stamps aren't getting them . "We need to do as much as we can at the federal and state levels to ensure that working families get the easy access to nutritional assisunce that they need," said Andy Solomon, a spokesman for the Agriculture Department, which ad1ninisters the program. USDA analysts say the good economy accounts for 28 percent to 35 percent of the decrease in participation since 1996. Some 935,000 legal immigrants, less than 5 percent of the 1996 caseload, lost their food stamp eligibility under a federal welfare system overhaul that year. Congress later restored benefits to 250,000 elderly, disabled and minor immigrants. • Othrr Stnkes Ad~ertblnK .. ••"""'""'""" """"'"' ... Ext. 1104 CIKu latlon......................................

COMMUNITY CALENDAR SOCIETY NEWS Negative campaigning detracts from real issues As inevitable as the election itself, negative campaigning is again rearing its ugly head in a bid to distract voters from the issues and focus attention on the personalities of those running for the White House. · It tells us that managers of presidential campaigns think taking the low road is what works with voters. We're also reminded just how contemptuous they are of the people and their thinking processes. Forget education, Social Security, defense and the myriad of o ther issues candidates are discussing. Sling a little mud and people are sure to pay attention. · They listen all right . in that respect, attack mongers achieve their goal. Viewers and listeners perk up when a sarcastic voice mocks the video of a candidate's statements. Or when visuals are matched with documentary evidence - like voting records - co make a point either for or agaiost the candidate. People are going to take these attacks to heart if they are inclinatgion is to accept these messages if their personal feelings rule their decision- making process. But otherwise, beware. Attack ads tell only a pare of the story. Sure, AI Gore takes credit for launching the Internet, but he didn'c do it singleh andedly, and most people are aware of that fact. HiUary Clinton's "friends'" in New York slam Senate opponent Rick Lazio 's votes on social issues, buc without explaining why he voted the way he did. There's more to a candidate's actions than his or her opponents will let you believe. Some very good rea.<nns go into why a candi- . date with past legislative experience voted for a a biD one time and a&ainst it at a later date. : Could it be th e legislation included provisions the candidate 0Juldn't support? Maybe. That's what we as voters need to find o ut. ~d you won't get any true answers by listening to the slime pedqiers on both sides of a campaign emptying their latest batch of vitriol. : Negative campaigning has been around as long as there's been an dectoral process in this country. It's swayed many a vote one way or the other. : But living in a supposedly more enlightened period, with all kinds Of inform ation avenues open to us, why does it persist? Because it"s catchy. flashy and attuned to short attention spans. : Negative campaigning is also as empty as the site AI Capone's p):overbial treasure chest.

Dear Abby ADVICE ed neighbor, to share my home and expenses. This way we both co uld live in comfort, and it would cost us less money. We go shopping and attend c hurch together. We also visit friends who are now in nursing homes. W e have never slept together or had sex. I know of other seniors who have similar arrangements so they can live decently and not go broke in the bargain. Recently, an<lther senior male has joined Van Matre 5oth anniversary us. We share expemes and household chores so it 's easier on all of us. We get along like a family of sisters and brothers.

C hee red by AI Gore's expected convention bounce, so m t• news- starved repo rt er~ covering tht:' Bush campaign saw th eir c h anc~ ;mJ went for the jugular.

Little things that voters see as 1rrdevant - suc h as misreading " hostile" for " hostage"- arl' blown into a major story. It was reminiscent o f the so-called "gaffes" the press corps usL·d against R o na ld R eagan - slip-ups that were little noted nor long remembere d . People were listening to th e message and not th e occasional blooper. I h:IVe covered many presidential lam paigns ove r the last three dL•cades and have never ceased to be amazed at how Wa~hing­ ton reporters can focllS on trivia instead of the major issues th e cmdidates nuy be talk in g about . Nevertheless, Rule N o. I in presidential campaignin g is that the prtss has to be fed o n a daily basis or they wlll inve nt thc1r ow n sto ries .

LJSt wc~k. while attempting tu defend his tax - cut plan , Bush's rhetoric was murky, to say the least . H ere's a tramcription of one part '-'f his comn1ents: " I've got to dn " better job of makin~ it dear,' ' he began, " that 'ita rting with a basel in e of ahout S I .9 trill ion over th e next I ll years. the bud gets wi ll in crease by abo ut $3.3 trilli o n . And yet we've still got another $2.3 tril lion o f surplus. I think that when people understand tha t we've got a lot of money that we'll apply to different programs, that the tax-relief package w ill become even more, people will buy mto the tax-relief package even mort'.' ' . Not exactly the epitome of clarity. O f cou rse, Bush is saying that even with th e govern ment spending nearly $1.9 tnllio n a year, whi ch will rise to $3 trillion over the next decadL·, the budget surplu s over this period will sn ll be a whopping $2.3 tr illio n - over and above the gover nm ent 's n eeds . Su rdy, Bush is saying. some of that money can be prud e ntl y returned to all workin g Am e ri cans in the form of 1ower taxes to keep th e economy healthy and growing, w ithout unbalancin g th e budget and w ith o ut in any way shortchangi ng neeJed federal program s.

IJut th ere arl' many ways to get a candidarc"s llll'Ssagc o ut , and Bush ha s not up to this point used all of th e tools at hi s disposal. A few suggestions: Bu sh still ne eds to bml down his tax plan to a few ti,ght, compre he nsive phrases.

No.t o nly do the polls show that the vast majority of voters agree with that vkw, that's wh at his plan , in part, would do. Say it.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR SOCIETY NEWS Negative campaigning detracts from real issues As inevitable as the election itself, negative campaigning is again rearing its ugly head in a bid to distract voters from the issues and focus attention on the personalities of those running for the White House. · It tells us that managers of presidential campaigns think taking the low road is what works with voters. We're also reminded just how contemptuous they are of the people and their thinking processes. Forget education, Social Security, defense and the myriad of o ther issues candidates are discussing. Sling a little mud and people are sure to pay attention. · They listen all right . in that respect, attack mongers achieve their goal. Viewers and listeners perk up when a sarcastic voice mocks the video of a candidate's statements. Or when visuals are matched with documentary evidence - like voting records - co make a point either for or agaiost the candidate. People are going to take these attacks to heart if they are inclinatgion is to accept these messages if their personal feelings rule their decision- making process. But otherwise, beware. Attack ads tell only a pare of the story. Sure, AI Gore takes credit for launching the Internet, but he didn'c do it singleh andedly, and most people are aware of that fact. HiUary Clinton's "friends'" in New York slam Senate opponent Rick Lazio 's votes on social issues, buc without explaining why he voted the way he did. There's more to a candidate's actions than his or her opponents will let you believe.

Maybe. That's what we as voters need to find o ut. ~d you won't get any true answers by listening to the slime pedqiers on both sides of a campaign emptying their latest batch of vitriol. : Negative campaigning has been around as long as there's been an dectoral process in this country. It's swayed many a vote one way or the other. : But living in a supposedly more enlightened period, with all kinds Of inform ation avenues open to us, why does it persist?

Mecl school applications down C HICAGO (AP) -The number of applicants to the nation's 125 medical schools fell for the third conse cutive year in 1999, an American M edical Asso ciation annu al survey shows. T he 38,529 applicants for last year's freshman class was down 6 percent from 1998, when there were 41 ,004 applicants . · The survey did not address possible reasons for the decline, tho ugh others have suggested the nation's strong economy may be attracting po tential applicants to other fi elds. Despite the downward trend, the authors noted that the number of applicants in 1999 was still far higher than in the late 1980s, when there \Wre fewer than 27 ,000 applicmts. The biggest drop in applicants - 9.1 percent - was seen among men. while the number of women applicants fell 2 percent, acco rding to the survey conducted by Barbara Barzansky of the AMA 's divisio n of undergraduate medical education . The amhors also examinl!'d courses offered a'r medical sc hools last year and found that 82 schools - 66 p~ re< nt .- - had required cb sses that included ms trun io n in Jltcn1ative medicin e su ch as he rb:1l mcdi cim• and acupuncture .

Th e New York Mets' celebtation said otherwise. A half- hour after Todd Zeile 's I Oth-inning homer set up a 3- 2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night, <he Mets were stiU carrying on about their first win on an excruciating road trip. After losing four in a row for only the second time all season and suffering three last- inning losses in St. Louis, the Mets knew this was special. The relief poured out in laughter, whistles and high-fives. Garth Brooks, who went 0-for~ \7 with the Mets during spring training, visited the clubhouse and joined in the revelry Things didn't feel nearly so bad anymore. ''We've talked ad nauseum about the slump our team's in, that our offense is in," Zeile said. "The good news is we're still right there where went want to be." The Mets stayed a game behind Atlanta in the NL East and first in line for the wild card, which they won last year by beating the Reds in a playoff. The Reds won't be in the postseason this time around, either. Their loss Tuesday dropped them I 0 games behind St. Louis in the NL Central, matching their biggest deficit all season. They also trail the Mets by 10 games for the wild card, making each loss seem a little bit final . "If somebody had to lose, I was sure hoping it wouldn't · be us," said Scott SuUivan (2- 6), who gave up Zeile's 18th homer. Neither team could get much of an adva ntage as New York 's Rick Reed and Cincinnati's Pete Harnisch avoided big ralli~s . Th e score was tied at 2 after seven innings with neither team scoring ntore than one run at a tirrte.

Mecl school applications down C HICAGO (AP) -The number of applicants to the nation's 125 medical schools fell for the third conse cutive year in 1999, an American M edical Asso ciation annu al survey shows. T he 38,529 applicants for last year's freshman class was down 6 percent from 1998, when there were 41 ,004 applicants . · The survey did not address possible reasons for the decline, tho ugh others have suggested the nation's strong economy may be attracting po tential applicants to other fi elds. Despite the downward trend, the authors noted that the number of applicants in 1999 was still far higher than in the late 1980s, when there \Wre fewer than 27 ,000 applicmts. The biggest drop in applicants - 9.1 percent - was seen among men. while the number of women applicants fell 2 percent, acco rding to the survey conducted by Barbara Barzansky of the AMA 's divisio n of undergraduate medical education . The amhors also examinl!'d courses offered a'r medical sc hools last year and found that 82 schools - 66 p~ re< nt .- - had required cb sses that included ms trun io n in Jltcn1ative medicin e su ch as he rb:1l mcdi cim• and acupuncture .

Th e New York Mets' celebtation said otherwise. A half- hour after Todd Zeile 's I Oth-inning homer set up a 3- 2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night, <he Mets were stiU carrying on about their first win on an excruciating road trip. After losing four in a row for only the second time all season and suffering three last- inning losses in St. Louis, the Mets knew this was special. The relief poured out in laughter, whistles and high-fives. Garth Brooks, who went 0-for~ \7 with the Mets during spring training, visited the clubhouse and joined in the revelry Things didn't feel nearly so bad anymore. ''We've talked ad nauseum about the slump our team's in, that our offense is in," Zeile said. "The good news is we're still right there where went want to be." The Mets stayed a game behind Atlanta in the NL East and first in line for the wild card, which they won last year by beating the Reds in a playoff. The Reds won't be in the postseason this time around, either. Their loss Tuesday dropped them I 0 games behind St. Louis in the NL Central, matching their biggest deficit all season. They also trail the Mets by 10 games for the wild card, making each loss seem a little bit final . "If somebody had to lose, I was sure hoping it wouldn't · be us," said Scott SuUivan (2- 6), who gave up Zeile's 18th homer. Neither team could get much of an adva ntage as New York 's Rick Reed and Cincinnati's Pete Harnisch avoided big ralli~s . Th e score was tied at 2 after seven innings with neither team scoring ntore than one run at a tirrte.
