I think it's due to the sop histicated weight programs that high schools have now. ''I'd say' the other thing is that offenses are really spreading the field," he added. "It makes it much more diffcult on the defense, and that's why you· see higher scoring games." The two-time Heisman winne r said he has no doubts another player can accomplish the feat at some point. "I've always said that if I can do it, there's always someone out there thal can do it," Gnffin said. "Michaei'Vick has a shot at it. Somebody can do it." Griffin,said that today's college players face a .different type of pressure than players in his day. "There's pressure all the time," he said. " But, the media is a little more intense I think. Because of that, I think the pressure's more. Still. as a college kid, as a college athlete at a big university, you live your life in a fish bowl. And you've got to live your life in a way that people will be proud, and you've got to do things that your tean1n1ates , coaches, your school , everyone can be proud." When asked about this year's Buckeye football tea m , Griffin spoke with pride. "Still got a lot of work to do, bur they've done a bang- up job. If th is team can focus one game at a time, I think they can be very successful." Griffin's visit :1lso served as a reunion of sorts with fanner ABC sports commentator Dave Diles, a Middleport native. Diles was Griffin's biographer. Southem SECTIONAL CHAMPIONS- Front row.

The discussion, heated at times, dealt prirnarify with the students being taken from the school to the nearby stadium, where they were reportedly required to sit in the sun on the bleachers, were not served lunch, had limited access to water, and were not allowed to leave with their parents. ' In response to questions from Chris Harter, spokesman for the parents, Superintendent Bill Buckley explained that at the time, there seemed no other option but to take the kids to the stadium . He said ,the normal procedure in a bomb threat is to call in the buses and take the stude nts home. However, that day, Buckley said eight buses had been used to take students to the Bob Evans Farm Festival. That meant there were no buses available tp tal<e the. students home at that time. " If we could have sent the kids horrie, we would have, but we didn't have that option," said Bu ckley. He said un ch was nor served because he thought it was "not appropriate to ask anyone to go back into the building," although he said school personnel did go back in to get mcd-. ication. Harter said a student asked about walking to Vaughan's to get something to eat and wa< told to "shut up and sit down." Buckley said he knew nothing about that.

BUCKEYE BRIEFS Wednesday, October 25, 2000 WednHday, October 21, 2000 Red Ribbon week Preservationists oppo~e fann site range GOP ticket coming back HAMILTON (AP) -Anne Jantzen and her nonprofit organization want to restore the site of a 19th century farm for wildlife and hiking. Shr was shocked to find out, though, that the Buder County sheriff plans to build a firing range on patt of the property. "We feel the sheriff's department has not been acting as a good neighbor," Jantzen said. "We're really alarmed that aU ·this happened secretly and without full public disclosure." Jantzen said her organization, Friends . of Chrisholm, did not know of Sheriff Harold Don Gabbard's plans to build the firing range on the Chrisholm farm. The sheriff's planned firing range is a joint project with the West Chester Township police. · Chief Deputy Sheriff Richard Jones said, however, the preservation group was given notice of a zoning board hearing last year on the issue. Buder Counry commissioners and TOLEDO (AP) - Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush plans to make a return visit to the Toledo area with a rally Thursday evening. It will be Bush's first trip to Ohio since Oct. 4. Also Thursday, Republican vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney plans to be in Colun tbus. Cheney planned to tour a steel plant at Worthington InduStries, a diversified metal processing company. A rally also was planned, the campaign said. Cheney is scheduled to attend a National Republican Congressional Committee fund-raiser Thursday in Columbus that could net "somewhere in the $600,000 range," said Dan Mattoon, deputy chairman of the U.S. House campaign committee. Bush's appearane< is to feature at an evening ra!Jy near Toledo Express Airport. Patrick Kriner, chairman of the Lucas County Republican Party, said the visit means Bush is aiming to build . support outside his political base. Lucas County, and Toledo in particular, is heavily Democratic. Bush, the Texas gnvernor, will arrive in Toledo after a day of campaigning in Pennsylvania. Bush also visited suburban Toledo in late August. Island up for auction state officials have approved the plan for the new firing range. It would replace one that has been on the Madison Township location for 20 years. "It doesn't make much sense to have people walking around where you're shooting guns;' Jones said. The sheriff also uses part of the site for a vegetable garden that priSj>ners cultivate to produce food for the county jail and homeless people. Jantzen said the firing range will destroy her group's plans for the land and that it clashes with the rural tranquility of the site, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati. The firing range wo;,ld occupy 25 acres of the 19 I -acre tract, which is a remnant ofAmish . regional history.

Middle Sister Island, in the lake's western basin, is home to great blue herons, gulls and barn swallows. The only structure on the TOLEDO (AP) - A group of homeowners and farmers have nine-acre island is a navigation tower. Auctioneer Paul Basinger hoped developers would see potential in the island's emptiness. He started the bidding at $400,000, not much compared with the price of some new homes being built on smaller, land-locked parcels. Middle Sister is a ·triangular-shaped island in Ontario. " It's a nice island, if someone is looking for something unusual," Basinger said. "Someone who wants to could build a nice resort there. There's beach all around, and it's wide enough to land a heli~ copter on it.'' , The only difficulty is getting there. It's about a hour-long boat ride from the nearest U.S. port, Port Clinton in northern Ohio, and is 11 miles west of Canada's Pelee Island. The island's owner, developer Rick Osborne, of Mentor, bought the island 10 years ago for $300,000. His daughter said he had planned to build on the island before suffering health problems. The Canadian government and conservation groups had expressed interest in the auction. filed a federal lawsuit to stop construction of a large dairy farm near Bryan in northwest Ohio. The farm is being developed by a family from the Netherlands, which has helped Dutch immigrants establish farms in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Lawyers for Neighbors Against Pollution said in the lawsuit that the dairy farm in Williams County will become a nuisance by emitting foul odors and harm the envi- record number of issues ronment with dust, fumes and vapor.. The lawsuit said the Vreba-Hoff Dairy Development Inc., of Coldwater, Mich., did not have the necessary permits to start construction. The group has asked for a temporary restraining order. Both sides met with U.S. District Court Judge David Katz in Toledo on Monday. John VanderHoff, a co-owner of the dairy company. said the dairy didn't need the permits because it will have less than 600 cows.

Carla Restifo filed the suit Tuesday in Lorain County Common Pleas· Court seeking damages from Lorain County engineer Ken Carney of Amherst. He has denied any wrongdoing. Restifo accused Carney of hitting her in the face with a telephone on Oct. 25, 1999, and of striking her with a bag of cheeseburgers and his fist on March 26. Carney is scheduled to be tried Tuesday on one count of domestic violence in the second alleged attack. Carney denied hitting her when questioned by deputies who arrested him, according to a report filed by sheriff's deputies. by boat along the nearby Great Miami River. Fire destroyed that house in ·1873. The following year, his son Samuel Augspurger built the existing brick farmhouse. The setdement became a stopover for immigrants moving west, Jantzen said. Friends ofChrisholm has begun a $1 million restoration of the farm. The organization has raised $100,000 in private donations and Butler County secured a$ 150,000 federal grant for the project. " If the counry conunissioners understood the importance of our historic site, there's no way they would have approved this ~hooting range being there," Jantzen Said. . Martha Gorman, vice president of the Friends of Chrisholm, asked county commissioners Monday to stop the firing range project until concerns over safety and noise can be addressed.

HEBRON, Ky. {AP) - In the first three years the FAA tracked so-called incursions- possible collision hazards on airport runways - there had been four at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. There have been four more since May. None of the incidents resulted in collisions or injuries, and only two planes in the four incidents had to abort a landing or takeoff. The rise concerns airport, airline and Federal Aviation Administration officials, wh9 formed an incursion task force in August. " I don't know why these numbers are gmng up ... each incident is a separate occurrence," said Dale Huber, the airport's deputy director of aviation. "But it's our job as a team to prevent .this from happening again through a concerted effort." Two of the incidents involved pilot error, one was the fault of airtraffic controllers and one was the fault of a maintenance crew • according to the FAA . The airport tied for 21st on the FAA's most recent list of those with the most incursions in the last 12 months. It ·has a relatively · low rate of 0.82 incursions per 100,000 operations, with 4:87,751 total operations.

The facility, to be located in nearby Norton, would compress and store air, which it would use to generate 2,700 megawatts of electricity. It plans to use an abandoned limestone mine to store compressed-air. The first phase of nearly 300 megawatts of power is projected to be on line by May 2003, capable of providing power for 75,000 homes. The process of obtaining the permit requested Tuesday could take six months, according to Joyce S. Miller, NES vice president of public and business relations. Kim Wissman, executive director of the state· board, said the process could take longer because of a backlog of cases created by deregulation. Power will be generated by releasing underground heated compressed air and driving turbines.

BUCKEYE BRIEFS Wednesday, October 25, 2000 WednHday, October 21, 2000 Red Ribbon week Preservationists oppo~e fann site range GOP ticket coming back HAMILTON (AP) -Anne Jantzen and her nonprofit organization want to restore the site of a 19th century farm for wildlife and hiking. Shr was shocked to find out, though, that the Buder County sheriff plans to build a firing range on patt of the property. "We feel the sheriff's department has not been acting as a good neighbor," Jantzen said. "We're really alarmed that aU ·this happened secretly and without full public disclosure." Jantzen said her organization, Friends . of Chrisholm, did not know of Sheriff Harold Don Gabbard's plans to build the firing range on the Chrisholm farm. The sheriff's planned firing range is a joint project with the West Chester Township police. · Chief Deputy Sheriff Richard Jones said, however, the preservation group was given notice of a zoning board hearing last year on the issue. Buder Counry commissioners and TOLEDO (AP) - Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush plans to make a return visit to the Toledo area with a rally Thursday evening. It will be Bush's first trip to Ohio since Oct. 4. Also Thursday, Republican vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney plans to be in Colun tbus. Cheney planned to tour a steel plant at Worthington InduStries, a diversified metal processing company. A rally also was planned, the campaign said. Cheney is scheduled to attend a National Republican Congressional Committee fund-raiser Thursday in Columbus that could net "somewhere in the $600,000 range," said Dan Mattoon, deputy chairman of the U.S. House campaign committee. Bush's appearane< is to feature at an evening ra!Jy near Toledo Express Airport. Patrick Kriner, chairman of the Lucas County Republican Party, said the visit means Bush is aiming to build . support outside his political base. Lucas County, and Toledo in particular, is heavily Democratic. Bush, the Texas gnvernor, will arrive in Toledo after a day of campaigning in Pennsylvania. Bush also visited suburban Toledo in late August. Island up for auction state officials have approved the plan for the new firing range. It would replace one that has been on the Madison Township location for 20 years. "It doesn't make much sense to have people walking around where you're shooting guns;' Jones said. The sheriff also uses part of the site for a vegetable garden that priSj>ners cultivate to produce food for the county jail and homeless people. Jantzen said the firing range will destroy her group's plans for the land and that it clashes with the rural tranquility of the site, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati. The firing range wo;,ld occupy 25 acres of the 19 I -acre tract, which is a remnant ofAmish . regional history. Christian Augspurger, leader of an Amish-Mennonite settlement, built a home on the land in 1830.

Middle Sister Island, in the lake's western basin, is home to great blue herons, gulls and barn swallows. The only structure on the TOLEDO (AP) - A group of homeowners and farmers have nine-acre island is a navigation tower. Auctioneer Paul Basinger hoped developers would see potential in the island's emptiness. He started the bidding at $400,000, not much compared with the price of some new homes being built on smaller, land-locked parcels. Middle Sister is a ·triangular-shaped island in Ontario. " It's a nice island, if someone is looking for something unusual," Basinger said. "Someone who wants to could build a nice resort there. There's beach all around, and it's wide enough to land a heli~ copter on it.'' , The only difficulty is getting there. It's about a hour-long boat ride from the nearest U.S. port, Port Clinton in northern Ohio, and is 11 miles west of Canada's Pelee Island. The island's owner, developer Rick Osborne, of Mentor, bought the island 10 years ago for $300,000. His daughter said he had planned to build on the island before suffering health problems. The Canadian government and conservation groups had expressed interest in the auction. filed a federal lawsuit to stop construction of a large dairy farm near Bryan in northwest Ohio. The farm is being developed by a family from the Netherlands, which has helped Dutch immigrants establish farms in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Lawyers for Neighbors Against Pollution said in the lawsuit that the dairy farm in Williams County will become a nuisance by emitting foul odors and harm the envi- record number of issues ronment with dust, fumes and vapor.. The lawsuit said the Vreba-Hoff Dairy Development Inc., of Coldwater, Mich., did not have the necessary permits to start construction. The group has asked for a temporary restraining order. Both sides met with U.S. District Court Judge David Katz in Toledo on Monday. John VanderHoff, a co-owner of the dairy company. said the dairy didn't need the permits because it will have less than 600 cows.

Police offering parents portable tester to check teens for drinking Official faces trial in attack ELYRIA {AP) - A Lorain County official facing a trial next week on charges 0fhitting his ex-girlfriend in the head with a bag of cheeseburgers has been su~d for $25,000 in the alleged attack . Carla Restifo filed the suit Tuesday in Lorain County Common Pleas· Court seeking damages from Lorain County engineer Ken Carney of Amherst. He has denied any wrongdoing. Restifo accused Carney of hitting her in the face with a telephone on Oct. 25, 1999, and of striking her with a bag of cheeseburgers and his fist on March 26. Carney is scheduled to be tried Tuesday on one count of domestic violence in the second alleged attack. Carney denied hitting her when questioned by deputies who arrested him, according to a report filed by sheriff's deputies. by boat along the nearby Great Miami River. Fire destroyed that house in ·1873. The following year, his son Samuel Augspurger built the existing brick farmhouse. The setdement became a stopover for immigrants moving west, Jantzen said. Friends ofChrisholm has begun a $1 million restoration of the farm. The organization has raised $100,000 in private donations and Butler County secured a$ 150,000 federal grant for the project. " If the counry conunissioners understood the importance of our historic site, there's no way they would have approved this ~hooting range being there," Jantzen Said. . Martha Gorman, vice president of the Friends of Chrisholm, asked county commissioners Monday to stop the firing range project until concerns over safety and noise can be addressed. The 2,061 issues on the ballot are up from 1,519 two years ago and 1,557 four years ·ago, accordiJ;~g to the secretary of state's office.

HEBRON, Ky. {AP) - In the first three years the FAA tracked so-called incursions- possible collision hazards on airport runways - there had been four at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. There have been four more since May. None of the incidents resulted in collisions or injuries, and only two planes in the four incidents had to abort a landing or takeoff. The rise concerns airport, airline and Federal Aviation Administration officials, wh9 formed an incursion task force in August. " I don't know why these numbers are gmng up ... each incident is a separate occurrence," said Dale Huber, the airport's deputy director of aviation. "But it's our job as a team to prevent .this from happening again through a concerted effort." Two of the incidents involved pilot error, one was the fault of airtraffic controllers and one was the fault of a maintenance crew • according to the FAA . The airport tied for 21st on the FAA's most recent list of those with the most incursions in the last 12 months. It ·has a relatively · low rate of 0.82 incursions per 100,000 operations, with 4:87,751 total operations.

The facility, to be located in nearby Norton, would compress and store air, which it would use to generate 2,700 megawatts of electricity. It plans to use an abandoned limestone mine to store compressed-air. The first phase of nearly 300 megawatts of power is projected to be on line by May 2003, capable of providing power for 75,000 homes. The process of obtaining the permit requested Tuesday could take six months, according to Joyce S. Miller, NES vice president of public and business relations. Kim Wissman, executive director of the state· board, said the process could take longer because of a backlog of cases created by deregulation.

OUR VIEW Just relax :TODAY IN HISTORY RUSHER'S VIEW Important reasons why ·Bush should be elected The election is now bearing down on us at full speed, and it is time ro do a little summing up. Nobody who has followed my columns at all carefully will be surpris ed to learn that I believe the election of George W. Bush is absolutely critical to the health and future of this country. But I am not going to waste this space repeating a laundry list of reasons why I believe that is so. Rather, I want to step back and dwell on certain major concerns that bother me. The polls m rec ent weeks have pretty uniformly reported that Governor Bush is now leading Vice President Gore by a significant margin. This is so contrary to the wishes of the pollsters and their sponsors in the media, who are . overwhelmingly liberal and hence pro-Gore, that one can only assume it actually understates the true size of the Bush lead. That ts why I am telling my friends nowadays that I am "hopeful" about the outcome, albeit not altogether "confident." · Bur why nor be confident? For one thing, polls can be wrong, and since they tend to have a herd mentality. they are likely to be wrong in the same direction. But, far more important, for the lirst rime in my life I have begun to lose faith m the American people.' I have been on the losing side of plenty of elections, and in those case-; I have made no secret of my belief that the voters were wrong. But it's their country, after all, and they can be wrong if they want to. Moreover, I never quite lost sight of the possibility that all •. _... •.•, ' ') 'l_.~ William Rusher NEA COLUMNIST they were wiser than I was. And I always told myself that in a pinch, when it really mattered , they would do the right thing. But I will confess that the voters' reaction to Bill Clinton, in two presidential elections, has shaken my faith . His policies may have been wrong (as I believe they often were), but there was always a case to be made for them. But his performance of the other half of a president's d).lties - those summed up in the concept of"head of state" (rather than simply head of government) has simply been beneath contempt. From the illegal Chinese contribution scandals to the whole sordid lifetime summed up in the words Moni ca Lewinsky, he has been a national disgrace. And yet an impressive number of Americans - not a majority, but a plurality demonstrated by their votes that they simply didn't care: As long .as the good economic times kept rolling, they were ready to give Mr. Clinton a pass on everything else. Now it's true that Mr. Clinton isn 't on the ticket this year, and that Mr. Gore has done everything he can to distance himself fron1 the stomach-turning aspects of the Clinton record. But he cannot logically serve as a loyal supporter of Mr. Clinton for eight years, even hailing him as one of our greatest presidents on the very day he was impeached; and then ask the American people to waive, by voting for Mr, Gore, the last opportunity they will ever have to register their condemnation of the sleazy performance that he and the Democratic party and its other candidates have noisily ,defended year by year. If the American people let Messrs. Clinton and Gore get away with what they have done to the moral backbone of this country, we m ay never get another clear shot at restoring it. For, make no mistake about it: Mr. Clinton's behavior is not only not condemned, but is (privately, but very actively) approved by a great many p eople- in fact, by a whole new class, which John Derbyshire recently and superbly described as "an arrogant, self-satisfied elite of overeducated libertines." If Mr. Gore wins, th~ battle will, of course, go on. The many millions of Ameri cans who uphold higher standards will not abandr;m them simply because a majority (or plurality) of voters has done so. But this country will have taken a probably irreversible step toward its own moral destruction. Today is Wednesday, Oct. 25, the 299th day of 2000. There are 67 ~lay' left in the year.

Wednesday, there's still fun after 'Achy Breaky' Dr. Robert Butterworth, a Los Angcl~s· child psychologist, told The Associated Press last week that violent scenes in a haunted house setting tor Halloween are potentially more damaging for chil·dren rhan movies or video games. Hi' assertion may have some validity because so many "haunted" events surrounding the annual celebration of things going bump in the mght depend on gore for their fnght contellt. Fake body pam and depictions of violent scenes are an unforrun..lte outgrowth of the Freddy Krueger/Friday the 13th style of horror moviemaking that's been with us since the 1980s. Just a> Freddy's razor fingers went dull and Jason had slashed his last victim. the whole cycle started all over again with "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Since slice-and-dice flicks have been with us for that long, children have come to expect that sort of thing when they go the · mo,·ies or get a vtdco game. Most kids and young adults, thankfully. recognize that it's all make-believe. In fact, the violence is exaggerated only for momenrorv 'hock value. It's not to be taken seriously. Butterworth's statement, and the AP story's attempts to back it up by finding kids disturbed by "haunted" houses, trails, hayrides, etc., lose sight of the fact it's supposed to be a fantasy. In many communities, eve'nts such as these are staged not by quick-buck promoters, but responsible school and civic organizations as a fund-raiser for projects to help folks in their town or . ~ countv. Halloween activities are planned and staffed by individuals who on ly want to provtde families with harmless fun for a few hours. The fact that some of these now use some bloody effects is a concession to what .seems to have. been proven to get a scare out of their patrons. Organizers of such activi ti es are not looking to create mghtmares or spread evil thoughts. The fact they have been th e targets of criticism and calls to ban their activities is unfair. No matter how well-intentioned their cr iti cs have been, they are torgetting that it's all part of a fun time for young children, who are probably more focused on how much candy they'll net during trick or treat than worrying about purely imagirtary monsters lurkin g around the co rn er. The point is, everyone, just lighten up. If parents believe their children are Jdversely affected by these events, then don't participate. Don't penalize those who recognize it's all in fun. .

OUR VIEW Just relax :TODAY IN HISTORY RUSHER'S VIEW Important reasons why ·Bush should be elected The election is now bearing down on us at full speed, and it is time ro do a little summing up. Nobody who has followed my columns at all carefully will be surpris ed to learn that I believe the election of George W. Bush is absolutely critical to the health and future of this country. But I am not going to waste this space repeating a laundry list of reasons why I believe that is so. Rather, I want to step back and dwell on certain major concerns that bother me. The polls m rec ent weeks have pretty uniformly reported that Governor Bush is now leading Vice President Gore by a significant margin. This is so contrary to the wishes of the pollsters and their sponsors in the media, who are . overwhelmingly liberal and hence pro-Gore, that one can only assume it actually understates the true size of the Bush lead. That ts why I am telling my friends nowadays that I am "hopeful" about the outcome, albeit not altogether "confident." · Bur why nor be confident? For one thing, polls can be wrong, and since they tend to have a herd mentality. they are likely to be wrong in the same direction. But, far more important, for the lirst rime in my life I have begun to lose faith m the American people.' I have been on the losing side of plenty of elections, and in those case-; I have made no secret of my belief that the voters were wrong. But it's their country, after all, and they can be wrong if they want to. Moreover, I never quite lost sight of the possibility that all •. _... •.•, ' ') 'l_.~ William Rusher NEA COLUMNIST they were wiser than I was. And I always told myself that in a pinch, when it really mattered , they would do the right thing. But I will confess that the voters' reaction to Bill Clinton, in two presidential elections, has shaken my faith . His policies may have been wrong (as I believe they often were), but there was always a case to be made for them. But his performance of the other half of a president's d).lties - those summed up in the concept of"head of state" (rather than simply head of government) has simply been beneath contempt. From the illegal Chinese contribution scandals to the whole sordid lifetime summed up in the words Moni ca Lewinsky, he has been a national disgrace. And yet an impressive number of Americans - not a majority, but a plurality demonstrated by their votes that they simply didn't care: As long .as the good economic times kept rolling, they were ready to give Mr. Clinton a pass on everything else. Now it's true that Mr. Clinton isn 't on the ticket this year, and that Mr. Gore has done everything he can to distance himself fron1 the stomach-turning aspects of the Clinton record. But he cannot logically serve as a loyal supporter of Mr. Clinton for eight years, even hailing him as one of our greatest presidents on the very day he was impeached; and then ask the American people to waive, by voting for Mr, Gore, the last opportunity they will ever have to register their condemnation of the sleazy performance that he and the Democratic party and its other candidates have noisily ,defended year by year. If the American people let Messrs. Clinton and Gore get away with what they have done to the moral backbone of this country, we m ay never get another clear shot at restoring it. For, make no mistake about it: Mr. Clinton's behavior is not only not condemned, but is (privately, but very actively) approved by a great many p eople- in fact, by a whole new class, which John Derbyshire recently and superbly described as "an arrogant, self-satisfied elite of overeducated libertines." If Mr. Gore wins, th~ battle will, of course, go on. The many millions of Ameri cans who uphold higher standards will not abandr;m them simply because a majority (or plurality) of voters has done so. But this country will have taken a probably irreversible step toward its own moral destruction. Today is Wednesday, Oct. 25, the 299th day of 2000. There are 67 ~lay' left in the year.

Wednesday, there's still fun after 'Achy Breaky' Dr. Robert Butterworth, a Los Angcl~s· child psychologist, told The Associated Press last week that violent scenes in a haunted house setting tor Halloween are potentially more damaging for chil·dren rhan movies or video games. Hi' assertion may have some validity because so many "haunted" events surrounding the annual celebration of things going bump in the mght depend on gore for their fnght contellt. Fake body pam and depictions of violent scenes are an unforrun..lte outgrowth of the Freddy Krueger/Friday the 13th style of horror moviemaking that's been with us since the 1980s. Just a> Freddy's razor fingers went dull and Jason had slashed his last victim. the whole cycle started all over again with "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Since slice-and-dice flicks have been with us for that long, children have come to expect that sort of thing when they go the · mo,·ies or get a vtdco game. Most kids and young adults, thankfully. recognize that it's all make-believe. In fact, the violence is exaggerated only for momenrorv 'hock value. It's not to be taken seriously. Butterworth's statement, and the AP story's attempts to back it up by finding kids disturbed by "haunted" houses, trails, hayrides, etc., lose sight of the fact it's supposed to be a fantasy. In many communities, eve'nts such as these are staged not by quick-buck promoters, but responsible school and civic organizations as a fund-raiser for projects to help folks in their town or . ~ countv. Halloween activities are planned and staffed by individuals who on ly want to provtde families with harmless fun for a few hours. The fact that some of these now use some bloody effects is a concession to what .seems to have. been proven to get a scare out of their patrons. Organizers of such activi ti es are not looking to create mghtmares or spread evil thoughts. The fact they have been th e targets of criticism and calls to ban their activities is unfair. No matter how well-intentioned their cr iti cs have been, they are torgetting that it's all part of a fun time for young children, who are probably more focused on how much candy they'll net during trick or treat than worrying about purely imagirtary monsters lurkin g around the co rn er. The point is, everyone, just lighten up. If parents believe their children are Jdversely affected by these events, then don't participate. Don't penalize those who recognize it's all in fun. .

In the perennially bitter fight over U.S. abortion policy overseas, the two sides agreed to end a ban enacted last year on giving taxpayer dollars to organizations using private funds for abortions overseas or advocating liberalized abortion laws there. President Re:lbr.m first imposed the restriction in 1984, only to see Clinton erase it in 1993.

(AP) NEW YORK (AP)- Benny Agbayani might have s_aid it best. "Anything can happen in a World Series, especially with El Duque," he said. What happened Tuesday night was that the New York Mets ended the Yankees' record 14-game winning streak in the World Series and stopped El Duq ue's -string, too. Agbayani got Shea Stadiuin shaking with a go-ahead double in the eighth inning as Orlando Hernandez lost for the first time in the postseason as the Mets cut their Subway Series deficit to 2-l with a 4-2 victory. "I mean, that's all we heard \was how he's won so many gamt:s in the postseason . He never lost. So there's always a first for anyone," Agbayani said. Hernandez began the night with an 8-0 record- including J-Othisyear-anda 1.90ERA in postseason play, and set a Yankees' World Series record by striking o ut 12, breaking the mark of 11 set by Bob Turley in 1956. Still, it was not enough . . "So we got a victory, we broke a little streak," Mets manager Bob by Valentine said. " I th ink baseball fans, and I'm one of them, have bee n watching the World Series for the last few years and it hasn't se.emed like it's been real big competition," he said. "I thought we wcre in those first two games, but you could only go so long saying they were close g:mu·s." Now, after two onc-ru.n defeats at Yankee Stadium, the Mcts get a chaJJCc to draw even. Bobby J. Jones will pitch Game 4 on Wednesday night against Denny Neagle, and Bill Clinton is expected to become- the first president in office to aw.·nd a Series game since Ronald Reagan in 1983. "It's light ,years different between being 3-0 and 2-1 ," Valentine said .. The Mds' win came after the strange doings of Sunday night's 'Game 2, which was all about Roger Clemens almost hitting Mike Piazza with a bat.

In the perennially bitter fight over U.S. abortion policy overseas, the two sides agreed to end a ban enacted last year on giving taxpayer dollars to organizations using private funds for abortions overseas or advocating liberalized abortion laws there. President Re:lbr.m first imposed the restriction in 1984, only to see Clinton erase it in 1993. Negotiators also agreed to provide $425 million to overseas family planning programs, up fiom last year's $385 million and the first increase since R.epublicans took control of Congress in 199 5. "This was a great victory for women, a great victory for democracy," said Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N. Y., an abortion-rights advocate. But the provi<ion also gives antiabortion groups a win, forbidding the expenditure of any of the money until Feb. 15. That would in effect leave a decision on spending the money to either Republican Gov. George W Bush or Democratic Vice President AI Gore, the two presidential contenders. Even so, anti-abottion leader Rep. Christopher Smith, R-N.J., conceded the language was at least a temporary defeat that would probably become law because of the GOP's rush to finish Congress' work without sparking controVersy.

"I mean, that's all we heard \was how he's won so many gamt:s in the postseason . He never lost. So there's always a first for anyone," Agbayani said. Hernandez began the night with an 8-0 record- including J-Othisyear-anda 1.90ERA in postseason play, and set a Yankees' World Series record by striking o ut 12, breaking the mark of 11 set by Bob Turley in 1956. Still, it was not enough . . "So we got a victory, we broke a little streak," Mets manager Bob by Valentine said. " I th ink baseball fans, and I'm one of them, have bee n watching the World Series for the last few years and it hasn't se.emed like it's been real big competition," he said. "I thought we wcre in those first two games, but you could only go so long saying they were close g:mu·s." Now, after two onc-ru.n defeats at Yankee Stadium, the Mcts get a chaJJCc to draw even. Bobby J. Jones will pitch Game 4 on Wednesday night against Denny Neagle, and Bill Clinton is expected to become- the first president in office to aw.·nd a Series game since Ronald Reagan in 1983. "It's light ,years different between being 3-0 and 2-1 ," Valentine said .. The Mds' win came after the strange doings of Sunday night's 'Game 2, which was all about Roger Clemens almost hitting Mike Piazza with a bat.

Conference • BY BUTCH CooPER OVP SPORTS STAFF CHESHIRE It will be a new era in River Valley athletics beginning in the fall of 2002. It was announced on Monday by' the Ga llia County Local Board of Education that River Valley will leave the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League and move into the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). Members include Rock Hill, Chesapeake, South Point, Fairland and Coal Grove. River Valley coaches are in overall :1grecmc:nt with thechange oi lca!,'lt<S. "It's an overall good mow for us, not that we're going to go in . there and dominate," said River Valley girls basketbalJ,.\:oach Tom Weaver. "I think that we might be a little more competitive in (the OVC) than the SEOAL. In some sports and some situations it's tough for us to be competitive." RiyerValley, a Divtsion IV football school, will be competing against other Dwision IV schools as members of the OVC. Currently in the SEOAL, River Valley faces larger Division I through Division III programs. "All the schools in the OVC are more comparable numbers wise with us,'' said River Valley boys basketball coach Gene Layton. "In the SEOAL, we were competing against Marietta and Logan. They had over 550 boys, where we were 230 to 250. I think Athens is over 450." "We'D be playing equal-size reams," added Weaver. One issue that has been brought up is the travel rime to the Lawrence County schools during the week. Layton disagrees. "Some people were saying they were concerned about the travel," said layton ... But it's no more travel th:m we travel now when we go to Iy1arietta, Warren and Logan. To me, I• don't think it's a big thing" In most situations, the Raiders already co mpete ogainst OVC sch(ml~. · In boys basketball, fi>r example, River V.1llev is scheduled to travel to Chesap~akc this season, while f.1eing Fairland and Rock Hill at home. In-other sports, it"i the S.llllt'. ·"As f.1r as our move cross country-wise. wc'v~ com.p\tted very well against Chesapeake on the boys side," said River Valley cross country and track coach Ed Sayre. "It's going to be a better tnove for us. It's very tough to run against three Division I schools in cross country that we've been Jgainst in (the SEOAL)." Sayre likes hi s te:tms' c h :mc~,.-s better ,Jgam St OVC team'\, compared to SEOA l schools. "In girls (cross roumry). we would be \'ery. very compc titivL· ," said Sayre. ''With this yc.•ar's sq u:lli, if we went down we would'vl' won the OVC tc.un title. With the boys, we would've been \Vithi'n tive points of winning it , if not winning i[." In another runmng sport, track and field, Sayre sees advantages as well. "We can ht! very co mpetitive at the league meet now in eve-ry event," said Say,re. "We're -not going to be outclassed and so far behind and nor have the bodie s. "When you go up againSt the Logan's, the Marietta's, the Athens', you will sec 50-60 track people our running." River Valley football coach Larry Carter is a veteran of the SEOAL and will miss coaching against the schools he's fac ed for so long. ''I love the SEOAL," said Carter, whose Raiders . lost to , Fairland . 6-0 in their only game against an OVC school this season. "I've coached in it for about 18 years. I hare to see us get our." Still, Carter realizes the need for such a move. "[ look reahstically. We might, one out of every six or seven years throw a really super team together and really be competitive in it .

"I think that we might be a little more competitive in (the OVC) than the SEOAL. In some sports and some situations it's tough for us to be competitive." RiyerValley, a Divtsion IV football school, will be competing against other Dwision IV schools as members of the OVC. Currently in the SEOAL, River Valley faces larger Division I through Division III programs. "All the schools in the OVC are more comparable numbers wise with us,'' said River Valley boys basketball coach Gene Layton. "In the SEOAL, we were competing against Marietta and Logan. They had over 550 boys, where we were 230 to 250. I think Athens is over 450." "We'D be playing equal-size reams," added Weaver. One issue that has been brought up is the travel rime to the Lawrence County schools during the week. Layton disagrees. "Some people were saying they were concerned about the travel," said layton ... But it's no more travel th:m we travel now when we go to Iy1arietta, Warren and Logan. To me, I• don't think it's a big thing" In most situations, the Raiders already co mpete ogainst OVC sch(ml~. · In boys basketball, fi>r example, River V.1llev is scheduled to travel to Chesap~akc this season, while f.1eing Fairland and Rock Hill at home. In-other sports, it"i the S.llllt'. ·"As f.1r as our move cross country-wise. wc'v~ com.p\tted very well against Chesapeake on the boys side," said River Valley cross country and track coach Ed Sayre. "It's going to be a better tnove for us. It's very tough to run against three Division I schools in cross country that we've been Jgainst in (the SEOAL)." Sayre likes hi s te:tms' c h :mc~,.-s better ,Jgam St OVC team'\, compared to SEOA l schools. "In girls (cross roumry). we would be \'ery. very compc titivL· ," said Sayre. ''With this yc.•ar's sq u:lli, if we went down we would'vl' won the OVC tc.un title. With the boys, we would've been \Vithi'n tive points of winning it , if not winning i[." In another runmng sport, track and field, Sayre sees advantages as well. "We can ht! very co mpetitive at the league meet now in eve-ry event," said Say,re. "We're -not going to be outclassed and so far behind and nor have the bodie s. "When you go up againSt the Logan's, the Marietta's, the Athens', you will sec 50-60 track people our running." River Valley football coach Larry Carter is a veteran of the SEOAL and will miss coaching against the schools he's fac ed for so long. ''I love the SEOAL," said Carter, whose Raiders . lost to , Fairland . 6-0 in their only game against an OVC school this season. "I've coached in it for about 18 years. I hare to see us get our." Still, Carter realizes the need for such a move. "[ look reahstically. We might, one out of every six or seven years throw a really super team together and really be competitive in it . We're a Division IV football team and we're pl aying Division I, II and Ill r~ams. I think the move is going to be better for rhc kids. We're setting up our kids to' fail playing in a larger lcilgue than what we can comp~:tt:- in.

I . love results like this one! Look only at the North-South hands. Which contract 1~ould you like to reach? And if you were in three no-trump doubled, how would you plan the play after a club lead? The deal occurred during Jan uary's Bermuda Bowl and Venice Cup world championships. This auction was produced by David Sykes (South) and Joe Wakefield , who were. playing for the home country against Canada. When South jumped to three no- trump ~ three players reached for their scorecards to record the contract. But East thought he could see one diamond and four club tricks·, so why not increase the penalty from 50 to 100? Well , Wakefield knew what the double meant, so he corrected to five dia· monds . And Soutll, realizing hi s partner had all his points outside clul:>s. raised to six! With ti·umps 2-2. Sykes had 110 trouble making the sl'am for plus 920. East ended doubly wise man . Why doui:Jiy? Because he can not beat three no-trump! After a club lead to dummy 's (South's) ace, declarer runs his four spade tricks. East has to make two discards ·· the diamond I0 and . ? He is squeezed . If East throw s a club, declarer plays a dramond . If East releases a heart, that gives declarer four heart tricks and nine in all.

I . love results like this one! Look only at the North-South hands. Which contract 1~ould you like to reach? And if you were in three no-trump doubled, how would you plan the play after a club lead? The deal occurred during Jan uary's Bermuda Bowl and Venice Cup world championships. This auction was produced by David Sykes (South) and Joe Wakefield , who were. playing for the home country against Canada. When South jumped to three no- trump ~ three players reached for their scorecards to record the contract. But East thought he could see one diamond and four club tricks·, so why not increase the penalty from 50 to 100? Well , Wakefield knew what the double meant, so he corrected to five dia· monds . And Soutll, realizing hi s partner had all his points outside clul:>s. raised to six! With ti·umps 2-2. Sykes had 110 trouble making the sl'am for plus 920. East ended doubly wise man . Why doui:Jiy? Because he can not beat three no-trump! After a club lead to dummy 's (South's) ace, declarer runs his four spade tricks. East has to make two discards ·· the diamond I0 and . ? He is squeezed . If East throw s a club, declarer plays a dramond . If East releases a heart, that gives declarer four heart tricks and nine in all. Liz McGowan made the contract this way for Great Britain against Germany in the Venice Cup.
