Shooter jailed Wreck kills one MARTINSBURG (AP) -A Berkeley County man who fired a high-powered rifle inside his home as deputies stood on his porch has been arrested. Jerry Scott Nelson, 34, of Martinsburg, was charged Friday with wanton endangerment and domestic assault. He was being held Friday night at the Eastern Regional Jail on $100,000 "bond. Berkeley County deputies R. C. Shickle and E.L. Heavener 'had gone to Nelson's mobile home at about 9 a.m. Friday in .response to a domestic violence call. according to magistrate court documents. _ Nelson's wife, Angel, told the deputies he had threatened her and the couple's two sons, a 4year-old . and an 8-month-old. The deputies got Angel Nelson and the 4-year-old out of the .home and were preparing to go back for the infant when a shot was fired inside. Jerry Nelson came to the door moment< later wtth his hands up and was arrested, police said. BRANCHLAND {AP) - A Lincoln County teen-ager was killed and another was injured Friday after their vehicle rolled down an embankment. Robert Seth Richmond, 19, and Matthew Burns, 18, both of Ranger, were traveling in a pickup truck on state Route 10 near· Branchland when Richmond apparently lost control of the vehicle, said State Police Trooper H .R. Petry of the Hamlin detachment. The truck ran off the road and rolled down an embankment at 12:30 a.m. Friday. Both men were ejected, Richmond died at the scene.

On Election Day, the opportun ity arrived in an altogether different way. She weathered a withering assault of television attack ads, launched by a front organization for the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, and won re-election to the high court. Justice for sale' one of the ads ominously asked, suggesting that Resmck all but took bribes from special interests. Ohio voters rejected the charge. Chief Justice Thomas Moyer later said of the campaign : "We must · never experience another like it." Moyer called for the appointment ofjustices and appellate judges, a system of merit selection much like the concept rejected by Ohio voters 13 years ago, yet all the more necessary in view of the ugliness of this faiL Thirty other stares have adopted an appointive system for judges.

But they left the polling places without asking for help from voting otlicials and without raising a fuss. All the recounting of votes that is believed needed to get an accurate total shou ld be done. But no matter whether Al' Gore or George Bush ends up winning the Florida vote, the voting of Nov. 7 should stand. If any sort of"revote" were allowed, o ther peopl~ who voted in the tir.t election could complain that their electoral righ ts were 'being compromised.

The report suggested a link between the number of crimes that occur during the afternoon hours and the number of latchkey children. Latchkey ch ildren became a societal factor when women started working 111 large numbers . Naturally, some of them get involved in things they shouldn't. But in the rush to find a scapegoat for rises in juvenile cr ime, some key points are overlooked. All adolescents are not criminals, and quite a few latchkey children actually survive their youth and become productive members of society. Parents should know if their kids are mature enough to handle coming home to an empty house. But there is room for concern. Because of financial worries mJny parents are forced to be at work when their children arrive home from school, leaving the children alone regardless of their maturity level. • ·: TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, Nov. 19, the 324th day of 2000.

Dear Editor: A grievance was fikd on Feb. 26; 2000 due to the unsafe conditions of several older patrol cars. M.my problems were arising from the high mileage of these cars. Those numbers ranged fi-om 100,000 to 175,000 miles. After the rejection of this grievance, an arbitration hearing was scheduled to find a solution for unsafe conditions the deputies were being exposed to. The Meigs County Commissioners; in an attempt to reject the deputies' claims of unsafe working conditions, ordered the deputies to take their patrol cars to a tnechanic of their choice to be inspected. Upon inspection of these cars, five cars were inunediatcly parked by the recommendation of the commissioners'- chosen ntechanic due to the conditiom of the vehicles. These unsafe cars are again bemg driven because repairs \\'tTe made, which has resulted in extremely high cost to the county. The county spent thousand, of dollars to fix these vehicles and they are stil l considered unsafe to be driven since the mileage is so high. One oi the five vehicles that was " repaired" was on the road for only a short period of time when the transmission went out, rendering the ca r useless. This is what the contnUssioners spent mont'y un to repair. This car is still parked after they ve rbally told the barg-aining unit's attorney they would repa ir the transmission.This repair has yet to take place as they are refusing to do . it. Why should a county that claims to have no money spend such a large sum to fix vehicles that will still be considered unsafe no matter how many repairs are made? Why arc the commissioners rejecting and fighting agamst safe working conditions for the deputies? In July, the deputies were ·informed their health insurance carrier Wd'r. ~ing changed t.o alleviate costs . and move away from the selffunded insurance. Tht' union contract between the deputies and the commissioners dearly states ·that the emp loyer shall provide all employees in the bargaining tmit with health insurance at the present or subo;rantially equivalent benefit levels. A 90/ 10 policy was proposed to the deputies in a meeting wlth an insurance representative and Commissioner Davenport. Upon review of the plan, the deputie1 di<covered several reductions in certain areas of the plan. When the insurance repn:~entat,ivc ·anJ Coinmi~sioner Mick Davenport wne a,k if thiS was the best plan available, tlwy both .stated "Yes.'' T1vo days later, it was discovered that Commissioner Dawnpo n had offered a I flO percent coverage: pla n .tn <~nothcr county agency.

Federal prosecutors said C. David Morrison, former chief executive officer of Logan General Hospital, failed to pay federal income and Social Security taxes withheld from employees.

Dear Editor: A grievance was fikd on Feb. 26; 2000 due to the unsafe conditions of several older patrol cars. M.my problems were arising from the high mileage of these cars. Those numbers ranged fi-om 100,000 to 175,000 miles. After the rejection of this grievance, an arbitration hearing was scheduled to find a solution for unsafe conditions the deputies were being exposed to. The Meigs County Commissioners; in an attempt to reject the deputies' claims of unsafe working conditions, ordered the deputies to take their patrol cars to a tnechanic of their choice to be inspected. Upon inspection of these cars, five cars were inunediatcly parked by the recommendation of the commissioners'- chosen ntechanic due to the conditiom of the vehicles. These unsafe cars are again bemg driven because repairs \\'tTe made, which has resulted in extremely high cost to the county. The county spent thousand, of dollars to fix these vehicles and they are stil l considered unsafe to be driven since the mileage is so high. One oi the five vehicles that was " repaired" was on the road for only a short period of time when the transmission went out, rendering the ca r useless. This is what the contnUssioners spent mont'y un to repair. This car is still parked after they ve rbally told the barg-aining unit's attorney they would repa ir the transmission.This repair has yet to take place as they are refusing to do . it. Why should a county that claims to have no money spend such a large sum to fix vehicles that will still be considered unsafe no matter how many repairs are made? Why arc the commissioners rejecting and fighting agamst safe working conditions for the deputies? In July, the deputies were ·informed their health insurance carrier Wd'r. ~ing changed t.o alleviate costs . and move away from the selffunded insurance. Tht' union contract between the deputies and the commissioners dearly states ·that the emp loyer shall provide all employees in the bargaining tmit with health insurance at the present or subo;rantially equivalent benefit levels. A 90/ 10 policy was proposed to the deputies in a meeting wlth an insurance representative and Commissioner Davenport. Upon review of the plan, the deputie1 di<covered several reductions in certain areas of the plan. When the insurance repn:~entat,ivc ·anJ Coinmi~sioner Mick Davenport wne a,k if thiS was the best plan available, tlwy both .stated "Yes.''

"It's so complicated, I can't ask you to understand it by looking at it,'' prosecutor Hunter Smith told the jury of 11 women and Copenhaver had rejected as urelevant Lees" argument that Morrison demonstrated good faith in how he spent the hospit:il's money Following the end of a court session, Lees said Morrison acted at the direction of the hospital's board of directors. "You're creating cnminals who serve .as administrators," he said. Copenhaver told Morrison, Lees and Smith he would not accept the plea arrangement unless Morrison admitted he intended to break the law. one man. Prosecutors and J>m Lees, Morrison's lawyer, had sought to avoid a trial, but U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver rejected a plea agreement. Morrison, 54, insisted his plea to ·two counts charging that he failed to turn over $4.5 million of hospital employees' federal taxes in 1997 was conditional upon his right to appeal a ruling Wednesday by Copenhaver.

"This report is as 'soft landing' a reading as one could hope for," said Fi11t Union's chief economist, David Orr. The Fed decided Wednesday not to raise rates a seventh time, citing more evidence of moderating economic growth. That slowdown has reduced pressure on long-term interest rates. The rate on a fured-rate 30-year mortgage averaged 7.8 percent last month, down slighdy fiom the average 7.9 percent rates posted in September and in October 1999. With mortgage rates holding steady below the 8 percent mark, builders say they feel good about future sales. Economists expect housing starts and home sales, wtuch have been an engine of the robust economy, to soften this year, reflecting the toll of higher rates interest rates. Rates on 30-year mortgages hit a five-year high of 8.64 percent, around the same time as the Fed's last interestrate increase in mid-May. Heart Matter•··· With Dr. Robert Holley QUESTION • I am 32 years old and have already had four-way bypass surgery. Since the surgery J have felt much better. My family physician told me there is no special treatment now that the bypass is complete. Is · · there anything l can do to prevent this from happening again? I really don't want to be c~acked open again. ANSWER • I . can certainly understand you not wanting to be cracked open again. Bypass surgery is very traumatic and no one wants to go through it. The sad part is that · many of these bypass surgeries can be prevented . Now, something caused your vessels to clot or become blocked and if you don't determine the underlying cause, you are very likely to have this happen again. In fact, failure to treat the underlying cause of a previous event is the leading cause of another heart attack, stroke or death. Patients that have had bypass surgery are at extremely high risk of a heart autack. stroke or sudden death. Most patients that have had bypass have a heart attack, stroke or sudden death within 6 years. The bottom line is you need to determine what caused the problem in the first place and then treat it so it will not happen again. Sadly enough, only six to eighl percent of patients that have had bypass surgery are being treated properly to prevent a re·occurrence. I have had several patients come to the Cholesterol Center after bypass surgery, and at that point I conduct a complete workup to determine the underlying cause. I then devise a personalized treatment program to help them dramatically reduce their risk of having to face this radical procedure again. Doctor Robert_Holley is the areas only cholesterol specialist, or therothrombolic Disease Specialist, M•hich means he has had ~pecia_l '':6-ining, and is an expert in ldtntifymg and treating all the vorious risk foctors that lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Warhol gets D.C. display WASHINGTON (AP) - He made the Campbell's soup can a work of art and captured the imagination of millions with his silkscreen portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy.

There's an untypical "abstract sculpture"- actually a painting done in paint and ink - that has not been shown in a museum before. Introducing the show, Corcoran Director David C. Levy pointed out that Warhol was at the center of the Pop Art movement of the 1960s - ·~a very tumultuous politically and socially conscious moment in American history." There's also an autographed Campbell's soup can like the one Warhol repeatedly painted. Levy said artists of the 1940s and 1950s who worked in abstract styles were taking a break from looking at the world around them. Then came the '60s. "They looked at the world with very fresh eyes and they saw the world that was dominated by imagery created· by media," he said," and out of that came Pop and out of Pop, I think, has come. a whole new understanding of what representational art is about. As we now enter the 21st century, I think it's (a) fascinating, immensely important moment." The show also featured Warhol's take on Washington and politics · he generally favored Democrats.

They're big donors and politicians. They're retired state workers and multimillionaire business owners. They also are players in the Electoral College, a political pro. cedure· that has drawn extensive attention this presidential election because of the closeness of the race between Georg~ W Bush · andAl Gore. None of the Republican Ohio electors contacted by The Associated Press were thinking about switching their vote away from Bush. Two electors - WR. Timken of Canton and Mercer Reynolds of Cincinnati are · among Ohio's biggest players in politics and business. Both were hosts to Bush at their homes this year for big GOP political money raisers. · Timken, chairman of the Timken Co., a bearings and alloy steels manufacturer, had a Republican National Committee fund-raiser at his home that brought in S500,000. Reyno1ds , who now runs a Cincinnati investment cornpany. has much deeper tie~ to Bush. They were co-owners of baseball's Texas Rangers and partners in oil exploration projects. Each state party picks its 21 electors and is careful to make sure they are loyal supporters. Because Bush won the popular vote in Ohio, the people chosen by the Democrats won't vote.

"This report is as 'soft landing' a reading as one could hope for," said Fi11t Union's chief economist, David Orr. The Fed decided Wednesday not to raise rates a seventh time, citing more evidence of moderating economic growth. That slowdown has reduced pressure on long-term interest rates. The rate on a fured-rate 30-year mortgage averaged 7.8 percent last month, down slighdy fiom the average 7.9 percent rates posted in September and in October 1999. With mortgage rates holding steady below the 8 percent mark, builders say they feel good about future sales. Economists expect housing starts and home sales, wtuch have been an engine of the robust economy, to soften this year, reflecting the toll of higher rates interest rates. Rates on 30-year mortgages hit a five-year high of 8.64 percent, around the same time as the Fed's last interestrate increase in mid-May. Heart Matter•··· With Dr. Robert Holley QUESTION • I am 32 years old and have already had four-way bypass surgery. Since the surgery J have felt much better. My family physician told me there is no special treatment now that the bypass is complete. Is · · there anything l can do to prevent this from happening again? I really don't want to be c~acked open again. ANSWER • I . can certainly understand you not wanting to be cracked open again. Bypass surgery is very traumatic and no one wants to go through it. The sad part is that · many of these bypass surgeries can be prevented . Now, something caused your vessels to clot or become blocked and if you don't determine the underlying cause, you are very likely to have this happen again. In fact, failure to treat the underlying cause of a previous event is the leading cause of another heart attack, stroke or death. Patients that have had bypass surgery are at extremely high risk of a heart autack. stroke or sudden death. Most patients that have had bypass have a heart attack, stroke or sudden death within 6 years. The bottom line is you need to determine what caused the problem in the first place and then treat it so it will not happen again. Sadly enough, only six to eighl percent of patients that have had bypass surgery are being treated properly to prevent a re·occurrence. I have had several patients come to the Cholesterol Center after bypass surgery, and at that point I conduct a complete workup to determine the underlying cause. I then devise a personalized treatment program to help them dramatically reduce their risk of having to face this radical procedure again. Doctor Robert_Holley is the areas only cholesterol specialist, or therothrombolic Disease Specialist, M•hich means he has had ~pecia_l '':6-ining, and is an expert in ldtntifymg and treating all the vorious risk foctors that lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Warhol gets D.C. display WASHINGTON (AP) - He made the Campbell's soup can a work of art and captured the imagination of millions with his silkscreen portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy. Marilyn Monroe and Mao Tse-tung. Now, 13 years after his death, Pop Art pioneer Andy Warhol is the subject of a major one-man show of his work at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. _ "Andy Warhol: Social Observer," opened Saturday. It presents a wide variety" of ~rk inCiud, ing a film that goes on for eight hours and five minutes, showing jus.t one view of the Empire State Building. There's an untypical "abstract sculpture"- actually a painting done in paint and ink - that has not been shown in a museum before. Introducing the show, Corcoran Director David C. Levy pointed out that Warhol was at the center of the Pop Art movement of the 1960s - ·~a very tumultuous politically and socially conscious moment in American history." There's also an autographed Campbell's soup can like the one Warhol repeatedly painted. Levy said artists of the 1940s and 1950s who worked in abstract styles were taking a break from looking at the world around them. Then came the '60s. "They looked at the world with very fresh eyes and they saw the world that was dominated by imagery created· by media," he said," and out of that came Pop and out of Pop, I think, has come. a whole new understanding of what representational art is about. As we now enter the 21st century, I think it's (a) fascinating, immensely important moment." The show also featured Warhol's take on Washington and politics · he generally favored Democrats. In the l 972 campaign, Warhol did a screenprint for them, portraying what Curator Jonathan P. Binstock calls "a nauseous green Nixon" with the caption "Vote McGovern."

They also are players in the Electoral College, a political pro. cedure· that has drawn extensive attention this presidential election because of the closeness of the race between Georg~ W Bush · andAl Gore. None of the Republican Ohio electors contacted by The Associated Press were thinking about switching their vote away from Bush. Two electors - WR. Timken of Canton and Mercer Reynolds of Cincinnati are · among Ohio's biggest players in politics and business. Both were hosts to Bush at their homes this year for big GOP political money raisers. · Timken, chairman of the Timken Co., a bearings and alloy steels manufacturer, had a Republican National Committee fund-raiser at his home that brought in S500,000. Reyno1ds , who now runs a Cincinnati investment cornpany. has much deeper tie~ to Bush. They were co-owners of baseball's Texas Rangers and partners in oil exploration projects. Each state party picks its 21 electors and is careful to make sure they are loyal supporters. Because Bush won the popular vote in Ohio, the people chosen by the Democrats won't vote.

Jesus said, in the last days, the son of man must suffer many things, and rejected by this generation. This also has happened to me. God has given the authority of judgment to Jesus Christ. As it is written, we all must come before the judgment seat of Christ, and give account of those things we have done in our bodies, being good or bad . Jesus said, He will' separate the sheep from the goats, accordingly to how we have helped to care for the needy, etc. For If We Do This, Jesus Says, We Have Done It Unto Him. . Also it is written, if we tum our ears from the cry of the poor, God also will turn His ears from our cries. I believe a good charity organization is World Vision.

(Bryan long photo) Ohio's deer gun season just one week away. COLUMBUS Ohio,'s seven-day deer gun seasqn opens November 27 and will attract as many as 500,000 hunters. While there are always many good stories of the hunt tO share lat¢r around a deer c:~mp or a fireplace. there art" a few unfortunate experiences that wil1 occur. Here are some tips for making the deer gun season <1 good one: It seems each sea.«ln that some hunters are just not aware of the deer hunting rules. The 2000200 I Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest is a free Divi5ion of Wildlife publication that is available where hunting 1\<:enses are sold. Questions regarding hunting, trapping and fishing can be answered by calling your state wildlife officer, a wildlife district office, or by calling taU-free 1800-WILDLIFE (1-800-9453543). If you don't know all the rules, ask the wildlife agency or consult its pubhcations. Among the citations issued during deer gun season, the most frequent violation is hunting without permission. a rule that lias been in effect for many yean. You are required to have written permission when hunting upon private land. . Deer gun hunters are reminded they may not U'ic a shotgun capable of holding more than three deer slugs.The rule became !'ffective last deer season and is intended to help promote safety and sportsmanship afield. On this note, possession of a loaded gun inside a motor vehicle is illegal ~ Possession of a loaded guri in thr! field is considered hunting. This means that you must keep your gun or bow unloaded ,\thile · going to or coming from your hunting locations before and after legal hunting hours. Always rdentify your target as a legal target and be sure it is a safe situation before atremp1ing to shoot a deer. Never shoot ·at sound or movement. Hunters walking· to and from their hunting locations during darkness should always use flashlights to help alert themselves to other hunters who might be in the area. In Ohio's modern- day deer hunting history, dating back to tl1e 1940s, only one antlered buck may be taken during the hunting Please see Hunting.

While there are always many good stories of the hunt tO share lat¢r around a deer c:~mp or a fireplace. there art" a few unfortunate experiences that wil1 occur. Here are some tips for making the deer gun season <1 good one: It seems each sea.«ln that some hunters are just not aware of the deer hunting rules. The 2000200 I Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest is a free Divi5ion of Wildlife publication that is available where hunting 1\<:enses are sold. Questions regarding hunting, trapping and fishing can be answered by calling your state wildlife officer, a wildlife district office, or by calling taU-free 1800-WILDLIFE (1-800-9453543). If you don't know all the rules, ask the wildlife agency or consult its pubhcations. Among the citations issued during deer gun season, the most frequent violation is hunting without permission. a rule that lias been in effect for many yean. You are required to have written permission when hunting upon private land. . Deer gun hunters are reminded they may not U'ic a shotgun capable of holding more than three deer slugs.The rule became !'ffective last deer season and is intended to help promote safety and sportsmanship afield. On this note, possession of a loaded gun inside a motor vehicle is illegal ~ Possession of a loaded guri in thr! field is considered hunting. This means that you must keep your gun or bow unloaded ,\thile · going to or coming from your hunting locations before and after legal hunting hours. Always rdentify your target as a legal target and be sure it is a safe situation before atremp1ing to shoot a deer. Never shoot ·at sound or movement. Hunters walking· to and from their hunting locations during darkness should always use flashlights to help alert themselves to other hunters who might be in the area. In Ohio's modern- day deer hunting history, dating back to tl1e 1940s, only one antlered buck may be taken during the hunting Please see Hunting.

(AP) West Virginia gave coach Don Nehlen the chance to postpone his retirement. Brad Lewis threw for a career-high 290 yards and two touchdowns to lead West Virginia to a 42-24 victory Saturday over East Carolina in N ehlen 's final borne game. · West Virginia's 42 points were a season lugh, although its total yards - 395 were pale by comparison. The Mountaineers also got a defensive touchdown . and some scoring help from East Carolina's special teams. West Virginia (6-4) is now eligible for a bowl- the main blemish in Nehlen's 21 seasons at West Virginia. Nehlen, who ;. retiring at the end of the season, has lost eight consecutive bowl games, East Carolina (6-4), which erupted for , 327 rushing yards against West Virginia a year ago, was held to just 1 on the ground Saturday. With several bowl-eligible teams in the Big East and Conference USA, neither team is guaranteed of a postseason berth. That likely will be decided after West Virginia heads to Pittsburgh on Friday and East Carolina is at No. 24 Southern Mississippi on Saturday. Lewis, p!.ying with a sore knee and throwing hand, completed 12-of-24 passes, an aver.~ge of 24 yards per completion. He opened the scoring with a 49-yard TD pass to Antonio Brown and capped it with an 18-yard TD toss to Khori Ivy with eight minutes remaining. Brown had six catches for 179 yards. Ivy has caught a pass in 38 straight games, the third-longest streak in Division 1-A. · David Garrard was 25-of-41 for 280 yards and helped East Carolina cut into a 19-point halftime deficit. Marcellus Harris took a short pass from Garrard, broke three tackles and scored from 45 yards out to make it 2917. Later, backup quarterback Arnie Powell took a handoff from Garrard and threw a 33-yard TD toss to Aaron Harris to cut the lead to 32-24. But West Virginia scored 10 straight points in the fourth quarter to put the BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS game away. The first half was full of scoring off bouncing footballs. ECU's Chris Howe II recovered a Lewis fumble at the West Virginia 9 and Garrard scored from 2 yards out two plays later. Early in the second quarter, a snap sailed over the head of East Carolina · punter Kevin Miller and he kicked the bouncing ball through the end zone. West Virginia was given posse~sion at the I, where Avon Cobourne scored for a 15-7 lead. A minute later, Garrard threw a wild lateral pass at the East Carolina 20. The ball was batted around and West Virginia's Jason Davis feU on it in the end zone. Late in the quarter, Lewis was hit as he threw but completed a 28-yard floating pass to Phil Braxton .That set up a !-yard run by Wes Ours for a 29-7 lead.

(AP) West Virginia gave coach Don Nehlen the chance to postpone his retirement. Brad Lewis threw for a career-high 290 yards and two touchdowns to lead West Virginia to a 42-24 victory Saturday over East Carolina in N ehlen 's final borne game. · West Virginia's 42 points were a season lugh, although its total yards - 395 were pale by comparison. The Mountaineers also got a defensive touchdown . and some scoring help from East Carolina's special teams. West Virginia (6-4) is now eligible for a bowl- the main blemish in Nehlen's 21 seasons at West Virginia. Nehlen, who ;. retiring at the end of the season, has lost eight consecutive bowl games, East Carolina (6-4), which erupted for , 327 rushing yards against West Virginia a year ago, was held to just 1 on the ground Saturday. With several bowl-eligible teams in the Big East and Conference USA, neither team is guaranteed of a postseason berth. That likely will be decided after West Virginia heads to Pittsburgh on Friday and East Carolina is at No. 24 Southern Mississippi on Saturday. Lewis, p!.ying with a sore knee and throwing hand, completed 12-of-24 passes, an aver.~ge of 24 yards per completion. He opened the scoring with a 49-yard TD pass to Antonio Brown and capped it with an 18-yard TD toss to Khori Ivy with eight minutes remaining. Brown had six catches for 179 yards. Ivy has caught a pass in 38 straight games, the third-longest streak in Division 1-A. · David Garrard was 25-of-41 for 280 yards and helped East Carolina cut into a 19-point halftime deficit. Marcellus Harris took a short pass from Garrard, broke three tackles and scored from 45 yards out to make it 2917. Later, backup quarterback Arnie Powell took a handoff from Garrard and threw a 33-yard TD toss to Aaron Harris to cut the lead to 32-24. But West Virginia scored 10 straight points in the fourth quarter to put the BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS game away. The first half was full of scoring off bouncing footballs. ECU's Chris Howe II recovered a Lewis fumble at the West Virginia 9 and Garrard scored from 2 yards out two plays later. Early in the second quarter, a snap sailed over the head of East Carolina · punter Kevin Miller and he kicked the bouncing ball through the end zone. West Virginia was given posse~sion at the I, where Avon Cobourne scored for a 15-7 lead. A minute later, Garrard threw a wild lateral pass at the East Carolina 20. The ball was batted around and West Virginia's Jason Davis feU on it in the end zone. Late in the quarter, Lewis was hit as he threw but completed a 28-yard floating pass to Phil Braxton .That set up a !-yard run by Wes Ours for a 29-7 lead. The 29 first-half p;;>inrs were the most for West Virginia this season.

The Browns have the league's worst offense, averaging just 246.3 yards per game.

The Titans have the NFL's fifth-best defense, allowmg only 271.3 yards per game, and the AFC's best group against the pass (173.1). Jevon Kearse, who picked up four sacks in two games against Cleveland last season, is coming off his best game of2000, and he gets to face a new right tackle in James Brown. ..

Since I had ~!ready killed a buck earlier in the archery season, I was looking for a nice, plump doe to fill the remaining space in the, deep freeze. Anyway, I never had the opportunity to try out the long-range performance of the new rifle.

I mentally weighed each one, felt their ribs, patted their hindquarters and tenderloins , and let fly nght behind the shoulder of the choicest animal, which then rushed blindly for about 25 yards , hit a tree and co llapsed.

The Patsies vs. the Bungles, two teams that may not win again if they don't win in Sunday's struggle to get to a place they haven't been much- the end zone. Neither team can find much of a silver lining m their gloomy seasons. "It's totally embarrassing to be a Bengal right now," offensive tackle Willie Anderson said. Cincinnati hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in 27 quarters, has only two all seaso n and lost seven games by at least 13 points. This Sunday.

Of course, the Patriots faced the NFL's worst running game and another 2-8 team last Sunday that already had lost to the Bengals. But New England allowed Cleveland to rush for 139 yards, 73 . above its average, as the Browns ended a seven-game losing streak with a 19-11 win. "This is the all-time lowest since I've been here," said Milloy, a five-year veteran who went to the Super Bowl as a rookie. "We haven't given anybody reason to respect us ." At least the Patriots have been close. Seven of their losses have been by eight points or less and they do have Drew Bledsoe, although that· also could be a problem. He plans to starr wah a jammed thumb that may be broken , but didn't keep him out of the Browns game. "When you're 2-8, teams look at you as a game they should win ," he said.

Recendy a group of climpers and climbing ourtitters met with National Park Service planners in Fayetteville to discuss their concerns about the future of climbing in the gorge. The Park Service's goals for the plan include: • Finding ways to minimize climbing's impact on the ecology of the gorge's ·cliff areas ·and his. . ' tone Sites. • Determining the appropriate role for commercial climbing outfitters in the gorge, who now number about 15. • Deciding whether new parking areas and access points are needed. • Setting up educational and interpretive programs on climbing to the benefit of all park visitors. Climbers and guides attending rhe meeting agreed, citing easyto-reach beginners' routes along the Bridge Buttress and Junkyard Wall, located in the shadow of the New Ri,ver Gorge Bridge, as • Power Window & Locks . • Remote Keyless Entry • Tilt Steering' While that policy helps assure that climbers are adequately supervised along the cliff face, it does nothing to restrict the number of climbers on the rock, since there is no limit to the number of groups an ourtitting service can guide. Virtually all at the meeting appeared to agree that some restriction should be imposed on the number of climbers using the park's most congested climbing routes. Self-guided church groups, scout groups and climbing clubs wtre mentioned as major contributors to overcrowding. Guides now doing business in the park have been cooperati[\g with each other to ease conge~-, tion, sometimes sharing climbing,, rope setups to save each oth~F <i time.

In case you've been in hiding rhe last few years, inline muzzleloaders arc the latest and greatest thing in blackpowder hunting. They arc called "inline" rifles because the percussion cap, breech vent and powder charge are aligned in a straight line with the percussion cap ignited by an inline Striker in a manner similar to a modern rifle's firing pin.

At 50 ~rds the rifle shoots about an inch and a half high; at )50 yards, about four-to-six inches low. Where I hunt in southeastern Ohio, there just aren't many opportunities for shooting beyond ISO yards. Since I had ~!ready killed a buck earlier in the archery season, I was looking for a nice, plump doe to fill the remaining space in the, deep freeze. Anyway, I never had the opportunity to try out the long-range performance of the new rifle. Shortly before noon on the first day of deer gun season , four does walked up from behind my stand and milled around about 15 -20 yards in front of me. I mentally weighed each one, felt their ribs, patted their hindquarters and tenderloins , and let fly nght behind the shoulder of the choicest animal, which then rushed blindly for about 25 yards , hit a tree and co llapsed. Field dressing revealed that th e 240grain semi-jacketed hollow point had demolished her lungs, heart and one shoulder befnre exiting. I found the bullet later, buried in a rotten log behind where she had been standing. I had ear- . boa tier feared the bullet would not together, b1.1t my fears were unfounded.

What happens, though, when rhat opponent also is 2-8 and not exacrly fearsome itselt' "I'm not going to touch that one," New England strong safety Lawyer Milloy said, reluctant to give any psychological weapon to the Cincinnati Bengais, a team with little ammunition. The Patsies vs. the Bungles, two teams that may not win again if they don't win in Sunday's struggle to get to a place they haven't been much- the end zone. Neither team can find much of a silver lining m their gloomy seasons. "It's totally embarrassing to be a Bengal right now," offensive tackle Willie Anderson said. Cincinnati hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in 27 quarters, has only two all seaso n and lost seven games by at least 13 points. This Sunday.

Of course, the Patriots faced the NFL's worst running game and another 2-8 team last Sunday that already had lost to the Bengals. But New England allowed Cleveland to rush for 139 yards, 73 . above its average, as the Browns ended a seven-game losing streak with a 19-11 win. "This is the all-time lowest since I've been here," said Milloy, a five-year veteran who went to the Super Bowl as a rookie. "We haven't given anybody reason to respect us ." At least the Patriots have been close. Seven of their losses have been by eight points or less and they do have Drew Bledsoe, although that· also could be a problem. He plans to starr wah a jammed thumb that may be broken , but didn't keep him out of the Browns game. "When you're 2-8, teams look at you as a game they should win ," he said. "There's no way I could envision us, at this point, being 2--8. This wasn't in the realm of possibiliry. so it's shocking and extremely disappointing."

Recendy a group of climpers and climbing ourtitters met with National Park Service planners in Fayetteville to discuss their concerns about the future of climbing in the gorge. The Park Service's goals for the plan include: • Finding ways to minimize climbing's impact on the ecology of the gorge's ·cliff areas ·and his. . ' tone Sites. • Determining the appropriate role for commercial climbing outfitters in the gorge, who now number about 15. • Deciding whether new parking areas and access points are needed. • Setting up educational and interpretive programs on climbing to the benefit of all park visitors. Climbers and guides attending rhe meeting agreed, citing easyto-reach beginners' routes along the Bridge Buttress and Junkyard Wall, located in the shadow of the New Ri,ver Gorge Bridge, as • Power Window & Locks . • Remote Keyless Entry • Tilt Steering' While that policy helps assure that climbers are adequately supervised along the cliff face, it does nothing to restrict the number of climbers on the rock, since there is no limit to the number of groups an ourtitting service can guide. Virtually all at the meeting appeared to agree that some restriction should be imposed on the number of climbers using the park's most congested climbing routes. Self-guided church groups, scout groups and climbing clubs wtre mentioned as major contributors to overcrowding. Guides now doing business in the park have been cooperati[\g with each other to ease conge~-, tion, sometimes sharing climbing,, rope setups to save each oth~F <i time. ' ,, "Things have been competitiv~ in years past, but people are working well . together thes10 , days," said Graybill. Follow-up meetings on the climbing management plan will; be held in the winter.

(AP) --;-When the New River Gorge National River . was created in 1978, the park's mile! of sheer, 30- to 120-foot-high sandstone cliffs were valued mainly for their r~gged appearance and as habitat for birds of prey. The first climbing route up one of the canyon's hard rock cliffs was charted in 1977. Today, there are more than 1,500 identified climbing routes in the gorge itself, and another 500 routes in the nearby National Park Service-administered Gauley- River National Recreation Area.

They then become aggressive and can attack at the slightest provocation. Home-rearing an infant priinate does not stop or alter this behavior. You must watch your monkey every second. Even the smallest squirrel monkey can open a cupboard. Larger monkeys can open refrigerator doors , turn on faucets, rip through window screens, unlock outside doors, turn over chairs, tables and TVs. Toxic substances and medicines ' must be kept under lock and key. Monkeys are highly excitable animals and will relieve themsclvCs whenever and wherever they are upset.

All primates require a well-balanced di et, including fresh vegetables, fruits, vitamim and live inse cts. All monkeys bite. Punishment is usually taken as a threat and can result in serious comequences. Spaying or neutering your monkey will have little effect on curbing aggression. You must keep your primate away from strangers, as well as friends of your children, neighbo rs and relatives.

The program's success can be measured by the 1,941 students that have participated qver the past seven years. Students with a special career interest are matched wh enever possible with an employer of their choice. , "By b5'ing placed in Galha County area businesses, th ese students will be able to closely view the correlati on between textbook learning and its application in the workplace, and will also be able to form associations and images which will help them focus on career goals," Clifford said.

The 90-rninute film by Margaret Selby is an illuminating and engaging look at his achievements.

Highbrow heretics who doubt that Jones deserves to be toasted by the lofty public television series may want to consider the . following: Director Peter Bogdanovich says Jones' animation "remains, like all good fables and only the best of art, both timeless and universal." ~ Steven Spielberg says Jones' 1996 lifetime achievement· Oscar was "a way of everybody saying, 'Thanks for giving me more imagination than I ever would have had if it weren't for you."' - And there's this rave from critic Leonard Mal'tin for a Michigan J. F~ cartoon : "'One Froggy Evening' is as perfect 'a film as I ever hope to sec." They are just a few of the admirers gushing,justifiably, over the remarkable producer-director- artist in "Chuck Jones: ' Extreme and ln-Betweens,A Life m Animation," airing 8 p.m. EST Wednesday on Thirteen/WNET's "Great Performances." The 90-rninute film by Margaret Selby is an illuminating and engaging look at his achievements.

"lt may be that the rugged Rocky Mounq•ns don't last long/ But my love goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on," spits out Chris Cagle like a man possessed. , The song may be about a guy in love.

Nashvill e hasn't had a potential star with this ·intensity si nce Garth Brooks was getting sta rted II years ago. In a music"genre where many singers try to avoid controversy, Cagle is outspoken.

And a ruling late Friday by the Florida Supreme Court forb1dding the state from cerrifymg anv electi on results until ''further order of this cou rt " made hope of a quick resolution even less likely. Analysts said naming a new pre~ident may help ease some of Wall Street's volatility and make investors 1nore comfortable abo ut committing to stocks. but it wo n't be a panacea for the market's problems.

In March, - the fund was renamed the Mid-Cap ~- Growth Fund, and right along with that · · name change came a new investment • sryle. Good timing. Mid-cap growth funds have been one of this year's top-per. forming categories, according to Lipper Inc. Year-to-date rhrough Sept. 30, the average mid-cap growth . fund was up 12.4 percent, while the average equity fund was up 6.5 percent. In addition, mid-caps aren't always followed closely on Wall Street. As a result, like the middle child in a family, they can be exciting and ofkn overlooked. Here's more about how Dudley manages the State Street Research Mid-Cap Growth fund (800-5620032): Q: What kind o,f changes did State Street Research want you to make in the fund? Dudley: Prior to my taking over as portfolio manager, it had been more of a multi-cap fu~d with some large-, small- and mid-cap names, along with some turnaround situations and aggressive growth stocks in it. It had a kind of eclectic style. I was supposed to focus it. Q: How did you do that? · Dudley: The two big things I had to do was get it to be a ·mitl-cap fund and a growth fund, so there was a lot of restructuring to do. Th~t restructuring took · place from November through about February of this year - and meant that there was higher turnover and expenses. on the fund, plus a lot of capital gains. created during the process. For example, AOL" at $162 billion, which is what it was in December of last year, is a little bit too_ big for a midcap fund. Selling AOL at $86 a share when it had a cost basis of $5 created capital gains. But, if we wanted the fund · to fit very nicely into the niche of midcap growth, there were certain things that needed to be done. Q:WiU you automatically sell a company once it goes from mid- to large- cap? Dudley: We are limited in the amount of large-cap names that we cin hold to - about 25 percent of tlle portfolio. The rest of it, 75 percent, re:llly has to be invested in companies below $9.5 billion in market cap. There have been instances where stocks that we owned have graduated into that large-cap space, and because we feel so confident ih their long-term story and their growth potential we;ll hang on to them. ' Farm scene: IRS to adjust Soybean~ rally, platinum tax code. Grassley says gains in commodity trading • DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Internal Revenue Service has agreed ro a change in the tax code that will help protect farmers and ranchers from paying a higher tax rate than other taxpayers, says Sen. Chuck Grassley, Rlowa . The change appears in the new IRS Publication 225, "Farmers Tax Guide," which says farmers and ranchers will be able to average their losses and gains over a three-year period. Farm and ranch income can vary greatly year to year.

Dow JONES NEWS SERVICE VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO (Dow Jones News) Soybean futures soared at the Chicago Board of Trade Friday fueled by a bullish soy meal market and strong spec·ulative buying. Talk of new doors opening for U.S. soy meal as European countries are forced to replace bone and meat meal, a meal source used to feed livestock, poultry, and hogs, promoted a sharp turnaround in the soy futures market's mood. The market has been under pressure from lingering fears over record U.S. and Brazilian soybean crops and slow exports, but Friday, those fears were wiped out by prospects of a new outlet for the bumper production. France and Italy are banning the use of bone meal in an attempt to prevent bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, from spreading into the food chain. The European Union is reportedly considering a universal ban of bone and meat meal to help -eliminate what is also known as mad cow disease. "The talk of bone meal possibly being excluded throughout Europe fueled the rally;" Mark Cermak, president of the futures division with O'Connor & Co. in Chicago. "The next question is how soon is that replaced an~ how much of it will come fiom the U.S.?" The bullish buzz drove December meal to end $6 higher at $175.80 per short ton. Soybeans followed suit, with the nearby contract climbing to finish 10.25 cents higher at $4.8775 per bushel. "We're hearing it could mean at least 500,000 metric tons of new business for the U.S. meal market," said Nathan Tross, an .. independent soy meal trader o,ry. the CBOT floor. "Just the talk of ·greater exports, even if we don't know the exact number.. .is seen positive for this market."

Efforts to rid the Triple U herd of brucellosis began 10 years ago. "They are finally released after living with a quarantine since 1982," Holland said. "Having the quarantine was a buttlen, and the expense of gathenng and testing that they've done over the years, several times a year, has ended." Through a $1 billion nationwide eradication program, only two private cattle herds in Texas and Florida are yet infected with brucellosis, Holland said: However, the disease still exists in bison and wild elk at Yellowstone National Park. • Farm scene: Smooth coating makes cottonseed easier to handle TIFTON, Ga. (AP)- For more than 200 years, cotton gins have ' separated cotton seeds from lint that is woven into fabric. The seeds . are very nuttitious and are fed to livestock or crushed for oil. However, because the seeds are fuzzy a~d cling like sandspurs, they are difficult to funnel through machinery. Now researchers in Georgia and elsewhere are testing a solution - a food starch coating that glues down the fuzz so the seeds can flow freely. Each year, modern cotton gins, still based on Eli Whitney's 1793 design, churn out abopt 17 million bales ot lint for fabric and about 6 million tons of seed. . Cotton Incorporated, a growerfunded trade group based in Raleigh, N.C., developed the coated-seed idea in the early, 1990s to increase the value of cotronseed1 Tom Wedegaermer, the group's director of cottonseed marketing and research, said the coated seeds are as nutritional as uncoated seeds. The next step may be to add vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to the coating to. make dairy cows even more productive. John· Berna ttl, a University of Georgia dairy nutritionist, is testing the enhanced seed ar the university's dairy in Tifton, about 200 miles south of Atlanta, and another scientist is testing the seed on beef cattle in Lubbock, Texas. ~s the big Holsteins in Tifton munched their food - a mixture of c6rn, silage, hay, grains and vitanUns and nunerals Bei-nard grabbed a handful and pointed to the white cottonseeds . Many of the black-and-white Holsteins weigh between I ,400 and I pounds. Modern dairy cows, the products of scientific breeding programs, produce I 0 ro 17 112 gallons of milk a day. To do that, they need plenty of protein and energy. :soo • \ "Cottonseed has a unique blend of fiber, energy and protein that's very desirable for feeding cattle, particularly dairy cattle," Bernattl said. "lr's typically economical as a feed ingredient." But until the arrival of the coated seed, sold commercially-as Easiflow Cottonseed, some dairies and smaller feed mills lacked equipment to handle it. Three plants are now producing coated seed in Windsor,Va., Courtland, Ala., and Hollandale, Miss. The Mississippi plant will pruduce a batch that will be used in deer feeders in Texas, where paad deer hunts have become a big business, Wedegaertner said. Bernard has done several srudies to show that coated seed is nutriuonaUy equivalent to regular seed, now he's studying various "nutrients that could be added to the coating to increase milk production and improve cow•' digestion.

In March, - the fund was renamed the Mid-Cap ~- Growth Fund, and right along with that · · name change came a new investment • sryle. Good timing. Mid-cap growth funds have been one of this year's top-per. forming categories, according to Lipper Inc. Year-to-date rhrough Sept. 30, the average mid-cap growth . fund was up 12.4 percent, while the average equity fund was up 6.5 percent. In addition, mid-caps aren't always followed closely on Wall Street. As a result, like the middle child in a family, they can be exciting and ofkn overlooked. Here's more about how Dudley manages the State Street Research Mid-Cap Growth fund (800-5620032): Q: What kind o,f changes did State Street Research want you to make in the fund? Dudley: Prior to my taking over as portfolio manager, it had been more of a multi-cap fu~d with some large-, small- and mid-cap names, along with some turnaround situations and aggressive growth stocks in it. It had a kind of eclectic style. I was supposed to focus it. Q: How did you do that? · Dudley: The two big things I had to do was get it to be a ·mitl-cap fund and a growth fund, so there was a lot of restructuring to do. Th~t restructuring took · place from November through about February of this year - and meant that there was higher turnover and expenses. on the fund, plus a lot of capital gains. created during the process. For example, AOL" at $162 billion, which is what it was in December of last year, is a little bit too_ big for a midcap fund. Selling AOL at $86 a share when it had a cost basis of $5 created capital gains. But, if we wanted the fund · to fit very nicely into the niche of midcap growth, there were certain things that needed to be done. Q:WiU you automatically sell a company once it goes from mid- to large- cap? Dudley: We are limited in the amount of large-cap names that we cin hold to - about 25 percent of tlle portfolio. The rest of it, 75 percent, re:llly has to be invested in companies below $9.5 billion in market cap. There have been instances where stocks that we owned have graduated into that large-cap space, and because we feel so confident ih their long-term story and their growth potential we;ll hang on to them. ' Farm scene: IRS to adjust Soybean~ rally, platinum tax code. Grassley says gains in commodity trading • DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Internal Revenue Service has agreed ro a change in the tax code that will help protect farmers and ranchers from paying a higher tax rate than other taxpayers, says Sen. Chuck Grassley, Rlowa . The change appears in the new IRS Publication 225, "Farmers Tax Guide," which says farmers and ranchers will be able to average their losses and gains over a three-year period. Farm and ranch income can vary greatly year to year. Without the ability .to average income over a period of time, Grassley said Tuesday, farmers and ranchers can be forced to pay an "unfair, higher effective tax rate than other taxpayers who earn the same, but at a steady, consistent rate."

Dow JONES NEWS SERVICE VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO (Dow Jones News) Soybean futures soared at the Chicago Board of Trade Friday fueled by a bullish soy meal market and strong spec·ulative buying. Talk of new doors opening for U.S. soy meal as European countries are forced to replace bone and meat meal, a meal source used to feed livestock, poultry, and hogs, promoted a sharp turnaround in the soy futures market's mood. The market has been under pressure from lingering fears over record U.S. and Brazilian soybean crops and slow exports, but Friday, those fears were wiped out by prospects of a new outlet for the bumper production. France and Italy are banning the use of bone meal in an attempt to prevent bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, from spreading into the food chain. The European Union is reportedly considering a universal ban of bone and meat meal to help -eliminate what is also known as mad cow disease. "The talk of bone meal possibly being excluded throughout Europe fueled the rally;" Mark Cermak, president of the futures division with O'Connor & Co. in Chicago. "The next question is how soon is that replaced an~ how much of it will come fiom the U.S.?" The bullish buzz drove December meal to end $6 higher at $175.80 per short ton. Soybeans followed suit, with the nearby contract climbing to finish 10.25 cents higher at $4.8775 per bushel. "We're hearing it could mean at least 500,000 metric tons of new business for the U.S. meal market," said Nathan Tross, an .. independent soy meal trader o,ry. the CBOT floor.

(AP)- For more than 200 years, cotton gins have ' separated cotton seeds from lint that is woven into fabric. The seeds . are very nuttitious and are fed to livestock or crushed for oil. However, because the seeds are fuzzy a~d cling like sandspurs, they are difficult to funnel through machinery. Now researchers in Georgia and elsewhere are testing a solution - a food starch coating that glues down the fuzz so the seeds can flow freely. Each year, modern cotton gins, still based on Eli Whitney's 1793 design, churn out abopt 17 million bales ot lint for fabric and about 6 million tons of seed. . Cotton Incorporated, a growerfunded trade group based in Raleigh, N.C., developed the coated-seed idea in the early, 1990s to increase the value of cotronseed1 Tom Wedegaermer, the group's director of cottonseed marketing and research, said the coated seeds are as nutritional as uncoated seeds. The next step may be to add vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to the coating to. make dairy cows even more productive. John· Berna ttl, a University of Georgia dairy nutritionist, is testing the enhanced seed ar the university's dairy in Tifton, about 200 miles south of Atlanta, and another scientist is testing the seed on beef cattle in Lubbock, Texas. ~s the big Holsteins in Tifton munched their food - a mixture of c6rn, silage, hay, grains and vitanUns and nunerals Bei-nard grabbed a handful and pointed to the white cottonseeds . Many of the black-and-white Holsteins weigh between I ,400 and I pounds. Modern dairy cows, the products of scientific breeding programs, produce I 0 ro 17 112 gallons of milk a day. To do that, they need plenty of protein and energy. :soo • \ "Cottonseed has a unique blend of fiber, energy and protein that's very desirable for feeding cattle, particularly dairy cattle," Bernattl said. "lr's typically economical as a feed ingredient." But until the arrival of the coated seed, sold commercially-as Easiflow Cottonseed, some dairies and smaller feed mills lacked equipment to handle it. Three plants are now producing coated seed in Windsor,Va., Courtland, Ala., and Hollandale, Miss. The Mississippi plant will pruduce a batch that will be used in deer feeders in Texas, where paad deer hunts have become a big business, Wedegaertner said. Bernard has done several srudies to show that coated seed is nutriuonaUy equivalent to regular seed, now he's studying various "nutrients that could be added to the coating to increase milk production and improve cow•' digestion.

This deducaon allows you to leave any amount of property to your spouse free of federal estate uxes. The estate burden is therefore postponed until the death of the second spouse.

COLUMBUS (AP) - In the race to fix Ohio \ school-funding problems, Gov. Bob Taft edged out lawmakers last week with his proposal to relax some of tl1< financial requirements that districts face. In a speech to the Ohio School Boards Assnciatilm. Taft announced a plan tO' remove the requirement th ;tt districts maintain a rainy day fimd and to reduce the amount of money they must set aside to buy textboob and do building maintenance. The problem: lawmakers, who worked with the Republican's administration for months to craft the proposal, found themselves left out of the news ami snambling to respond to their own idea. "I was a little surprised because l didn;t know how much he was in the loop, ami! w•s surprised it pretty much detailed our bill," said Senate Education Chairman Bob Gardner, a Republican from Madison. Sen.' Eric Fingerhut, a Cleveland Democrat, complained on the Senate floor that the first word he gut of the proposal was from a reporter. He voted again<t it, saying the bill was moving ton quickly and without enough input from Democrats. The Republican-controlled Senate passed it anyway and sent it to the House for consideration \vhen sessions resume after Thanksgiving. House Speaker Jo An11 Davidson has promised quick action. It's expected to b,· the only legislative action on school-fitnding this year. The bill responds to part of an Ohio Supreme Court ruling in May that said the state's school-fund\ng 'Y'tem remains llll(Onstitutional. In her majority opinion, Justice Alice Robie Resnick targeted requirements that lawmakers haw placed on districts without arrangements for th e money to pay for them. One mandate is that districts annually place 3 percent of their total budget into a reserve fimd for tL'Xtbooks, and another 3 percent intu " huildin~ mainte nancc fund . The bill speeding throu~h the legislature would · reduce that to .1 percent of the money the districts receive from the state.

"It could be a constraint on our ability to address all of the budget challenges that we face," Gov. Bob Tafi said last week. Sales tax revenue on everything but automobiles has fallen below estimates four months running. In October, budget officials estimated the state would bring in $438.3 million in sales tax revenue, but collected only $423.8 million. From July through October, revenue was $80.1 million below estimates. Meanwhile.. a higher-thanexpected Medicaid caseload this year has created a $647 million Medicaid shortfall. -Ohio lawmakers have put legislation to plug this hole on a fast-track. That proposal calls for about $249 million in· state budget cuts and general fund money to match the remaining $400 million coming frrm1 the federal governmen~. To top it off, lawmakers from Senate President Richard Finan on down are pledging to make education their top priority in the 2002-2003 state budget. Funding for schools will come at the expense of other departments. "Education will require the commitment of a substantial portion of expected available r~sourccs, thereby reducing resources available for other purposes," Thomas Johnson, Taft's budget director, told lawmakers last week. Johnson said the state should still end the 2001 fiscal year with S1OS million in surplus revenue and will maintain its $1 billion rainy day lund. Timothy Keen, assistant budget director, said the biggest challenge facing the administr:.i tion .IS the gap between people's expectations and the budget restrictions. "The economy is slowing, but we're sti ll doing fairly well," Keen said. "It's hard to put all these pieces together to identifY this challenge we're going to face. "We've been communicating since July to our cabinet directors;· Keen said." ! think we ·havc to educate the public at large, the advocacy groups, and the legislature."
