"I've had a good experience here, I really have," he said. "It's been a very pleasant surprise for 111e." The Bengals could afford to keep Mitchell in part because Smith isn't playing. Smith makes $275,000 this season and ,is 348 passing yards shy of a contract He doesn't speak of personal records or accomplishment, but of effort and teamwork, of comradery and love for the game. Bevo Francis never was and still isn't impressed with himself or hi> historic achwvements. Instead. the man never fails to pay tribute to the men he played with on the Rio Grande teams.

Friday, December 8, 2000 Pomeroy, Mlddlej)ort, Ohio Page A 2 • The Dally Sentinel Tax revenue below estimates for months running COLUMBUS (AP) - T he state's ch1ef financial analyst says he isn't worried Ohio has rece1ved millions of dollars less than expected in sales tax revenue for the fifth straight month. "At this point in time, we believe we can manage the state budget through this slowdown," Sam Nenter, Ohio's chief economist, said Thursday. "W~ still haye seven months to go in the fiscal year. Yes, we are down a little bit on the sales ta~. but we should be OK." The state's Office of Budget and Management had estimated that Ohio would coll ect $441 million in sales tax revenue in Novem- ber, but it received only $409 milhon , said Gary Gudmundson, spokesman for the state Department of Taxation. From July through November, revenue. was S112.5 million below esumates. The amount generated from automobile sales was better, but still' fell below expectations, Gudmundson said. The state received $61.6 million from automobile sales during November, $600,000 below budget officials' projections. For the first five months of the fisca l year, autotnobile sales revenue was S I 00,000 less than estimates. .. The sales tax is an estimate and it's tied w consumer spending. If retail ules do not come in as expected, revenues will be reflected accordingly," Nemer sa1d. "Consumers just aren't hitting the stores ~ke they did in the first part of the year." Nemer said he can't speculate on what impact the slowdow11 could have on next state budget, which is in the planning stages. Gov. Bob Taft and other 'Officials have expressed concern s that the revenue slowdown will cause added constraints in the next budget.

One month after an election so close that neither Bush nor Gore had enough electoral vot.es to win, Florida will make one man the president-elect and the other a loser in one of the closest races in history. · The vice president hoped the state Supreme Court would overturn a ruling by Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls that sustained !lush's certified 537-vote margin of victory in the ·state and refused to onJer manual recounts. The case is of enormous psychological significance in the monthlong election controve~sy, · since some Democrats have made plain they believe Gore should concede the race for the White House if tlte state high court rules against him. "This is coming to an end," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IlL, said Thursday. A Bush presiden cy, he said, "looks more and more" likely. Even so, 1herc were other court cases pending in a controversy that . has spawned dozens of them. Circuit Judge Terry Lewis said he would rule on Friday in a lawsuit that seeks to have thousands of absentee ballots thrown out in Martin County. And Circuit Judge Nikki Clark was preparing a ruling in a similar case in Seminole County. Both cases were filed by Democrats- and have since been cited approvingly by Gore claiming that the ballots are invalid because detachable ballot applications were not properly fiRed out and elections officials allowed information to be added improperly. Either of those two cases had the potential to transform a controversy that had Gore struggling for survival and Bush working conspicuously on his transition to power. ' But the main focus on Thursday was in the state Supreme Court, where Boies pressed Gore's case to open up roughly 13,000 ballots in FRI12/8/00 SAT 1219/00 lOX OffiCE WIU OPEN AT 6:30 PM FOR !VINING SHOWS 12:30 PM FOR SAT & SUN MAnNEIS Warmer conditions forecast BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hig:h pre'\mre bulidmg over the tr i- county area will clear the skies and produ ce a dry and warnn:r \Vcckl'Jid , fon·casters said.

"We're now here on December the 7th, with December the 12th, you know, fa>t approaching," Justice Harry Lee Anstead told Boies in th e fin al quem on of the session. '' How ca n W l' rt'\ol ve an issUe like th at at thi> late date?" "There's neve r been a ,rule that says you have to recount all th.e ballo ts in an electio n contest," Bmcs rephed, returnmg one final time to his point that only a fraction of more than 1 million ballots need be reviewed. Besides, he said, the Bush c~m­ paign never asked for a recount. Earlier, though, lawyers for Bush and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris argued that the court would be exceeding its legal authority if it granted Gore the relief he seeks. Joseph Klock, representing Harris, said the court would have to "create a pile of law" to grant Gore's request- an obvious word of caution in view of a separationof-powers argument that says that would intrude on the Legislature's prerogatives. "There is not a single shred of evidence to show that any voter was deriied the right to vote," argued R.ichard, maintaining that the state's highest court had 'no authority to step in and oversee recounts. Several of the court's seven justices pressed Boies to explain wl)y it would be proper to have manya! recounts in some counties, but not statewide. " I don't think there has ever b een a suggestion under state law that you should have a recount where it was not requested," Boies replied.

Friday, December 8, 2000 Pomeroy, Mlddlej)ort, Ohio Page A 2 • The Dally Sentinel Tax revenue below estimates for months running COLUMBUS (AP) - T he state's ch1ef financial analyst says he isn't worried Ohio has rece1ved millions of dollars less than expected in sales tax revenue for the fifth straight month. "At this point in time, we believe we can manage the state budget through this slowdown," Sam Nenter, Ohio's chief economist, said Thursday. "W~ still haye seven months to go in the fiscal year. Yes, we are down a little bit on the sales ta~. but we should be OK." The state's Office of Budget and Management had estimated that Ohio would coll ect $441 million in sales tax revenue in Novem- ber, but it received only $409 milhon , said Gary Gudmundson, spokesman for the state Department of Taxation. From July through November, revenue. was S112.5 million below esumates. The amount generated from automobile sales was better, but still' fell below expectations, Gudmundson said. The state received $61.6 million from automobile sales during November, $600,000 below budget officials' projections. For the first five months of the fisca l year, autotnobile sales revenue was S I 00,000 less than estimates. .. The sales tax is an estimate and it's tied w consumer spending. If retail ules do not come in as expected, revenues will be reflected accordingly," Nemer sa1d. "Consumers just aren't hitting the stores ~ke they did in the first part of the year." Nemer said he can't speculate on what impact the slowdow11 could have on next state budget, which is in the planning stages. Gov. Bob Taft and other 'Officials have expressed concern s that the revenue slowdown will cause added constraints in the next budget.

One month after an election so close that neither Bush nor Gore had enough electoral vot.es to win, Florida will make one man the president-elect and the other a loser in one of the closest races in history. · The vice president hoped the state Supreme Court would overturn a ruling by Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls that sustained !lush's certified 537-vote margin of victory in the ·state and refused to onJer manual recounts. The case is of enormous psychological significance in the monthlong election controve~sy, · since some Democrats have made plain they believe Gore should concede the race for the White House if tlte state high court rules against him. "This is coming to an end," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IlL, said Thursday. A Bush presiden cy, he said, "looks more and more" likely. Even so, 1herc were other court cases pending in a controversy that . has spawned dozens of them. Circuit Judge Terry Lewis said he would rule on Friday in a lawsuit that seeks to have thousands of absentee ballots thrown out in Martin County. And Circuit Judge Nikki Clark was preparing a ruling in a similar case in Seminole County. Both cases were filed by Democrats- and have since been cited approvingly by Gore claiming that the ballots are invalid because detachable ballot applications were not properly fiRed out and elections officials allowed information to be added improperly. Either of those two cases had the potential to transform a controversy that had Gore struggling for survival and Bush working conspicuously on his transition to power. ' But the main focus on Thursday was in the state Supreme Court, where Boies pressed Gore's case to open up roughly 13,000 ballots in FRI12/8/00 SAT 1219/00 lOX OffiCE WIU OPEN AT 6:30 PM FOR !VINING SHOWS 12:30 PM FOR SAT & SUN MAnNEIS Warmer conditions forecast BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hig:h pre'\mre bulidmg over the tr i- county area will clear the skies and produ ce a dry and warnn:r \Vcckl'Jid , fon·casters said.

Besides, he said, the Bush c~m­ paign never asked for a recount. Earlier, though, lawyers for Bush and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris argued that the court would be exceeding its legal authority if it granted Gore the relief he seeks. Joseph Klock, representing Harris, said the court would have to "create a pile of law" to grant Gore's request- an obvious word of caution in view of a separationof-powers argument that says that would intrude on the Legislature's prerogatives. "There is not a single shred of evidence to show that any voter was deriied the right to vote," argued R.ichard, maintaining that the state's highest court had 'no authority to step in and oversee recounts. Several of the court's seven justices pressed Boies to explain wl)y it would be proper to have manya! recounts in some counties, but not statewide. " I don't think there has ever b een a suggestion under state law that you should have a recount where it was not requested," Boies replied.

The consequences for the nation could be enormous whether he succeeds or fails. Up unci! now, the vice president has stood on firm ground ... Today, it's Bush who's on relatively solid ground and Gore's support is evaporating; only the most partisan of his backers relish the coming court battle .... . Little good can come from Gore's decision to protest the Florida vote, despite the problems with Florida 's election process - and those problems appear to be legion. On the other hand, it is easy to 'foresee a lot of bad ... This will be painful for a life-long politician only 500 votes away from the presidency, of course, made even more painful by the fact that he won the popula'r vote nationwide by a fairly wide margin .As every smart poker player knows, there's a time to fold your hand to prevent your losses from climbing. For AI Gore, that time is now. · • The Stillwater (Okla.) NewaPre11, on election standards: There are hundreds ofjokes circulating about the Flori'da election returns. Some suggest observers frilm the Jimmy Carter Center be asked to monitor the attempts to count; recount and certify results so a fair, free election can be guaranteed. The punched (or dimpled or pre8Tiant) cards used in the Florida · election are artifacts from the 1970s and 1980s. Much is made of the 99.9 percent accuracy achieved by counting machines for punched ballots. Hardly anyone emphasizts the mathematical fact that .Oi percent of 6 mi'llion votes is 6,000 votes which would be counted incorrectly or not at all under the best of conditions. · There are better ways. Riverside County in California has tested, purchased and installed a touch-screen system. Internet voting was tested in Arizona and California during the last election. In both systems, it's not possible to vote both "yes" and "no" on referenda or retention, Goodbye to the butterfly and spoiled ballots. There are concerns about security for online voting, but seeing s<Jmeone wander into a counting station with a plastic trash bag of punched card ballots that had been overlooked doesn't give one much faith in the security of our present systems .... • South Bend (Ind.) Tribune, 011 rite Elecroral College: It's easy to say that the United States ought to write the Electoral College right out of the Constitution and replace it with the in dis-· f!utable clarity of choosing the president by popular vote. What could be more sensible and practical? Why, the Founding Fath e rs probably would have provided for it themselves had they only been able to anticipate mass communication and the co mputer age. But wait. What about the law of unintended consequences? li can have clout that makes a seemingly antiquated article of the Constitution pale by comparison. The Founding Fathers, wise as they certainly were, could not have imagined America in 2000. They surely didn't imagine women votIng, among 100 million citizens of every race, religion and political J'>ersuasion, in 50 states Stretching from Maine to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They could not pos~ibly have dreamed of the means for gathering information that are .available to 21st ce ntury Americans. A commission o ught to be formed (at the behest of Congress or !he new president) to thoroughly study the effects of c hanging the way we pick presidents. Imagined consequences are just that ;.mgined. This is the time for a meaningful look at how to best reflect the people's will through the electoral process, an'd it should be done in a way that does not descend to partisan opportunism. :TODAY IN HISTORY • • : BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ' Today is Friday, Dec. 8, the 343rd day of 2000.

The court banned the use o a drug-sniffing dog at a traffic checkpoint. I' would have ruled for the dog. No one disputes the facts. In the summer of 1998 Indianapolis was having a serious problem with illicit drugs. Police responded with a carefully designed program of random traffic stops at six checkpoints in high-crime neighborhoods. At each location, police erected lighted signs warning motorists that they should be prepared to stop for a "narcotics checkpoint." Uniformed officers then checked one group of drivers at a time, asking each driver for his driver's license and motor vehicle registration. While the documents were being inspected, a K-9 officer walked his dog around the car. If everything was in order, the drivers were waved on their way. The whole process took no more than rwo to five minutes for each car. The program was so successful that in a four- month period, 104 motorists were arrested, 55 of them on narcotics charges, 49 for other criminal offenses. · James Edmond and Joell Palmer were among thme drivers who were stopped at a checkpoint. They were delayed for only a few minutes. They were not arrested for anything, but . they felt that so gross an imposition had violated their civil liberties. Encouraged by the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, they brought a federal cia." action under the Fourth Amendment. They won 2-1 last year in the Seventh Circuit. On Nov. 28 they won again, 6-3, in the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote a singularly unconvincing opinion for the high court. Sht· and her colleagues found that the Indianapolis police had been motivated by an James Kilpatrick NEA COLUMNIST "impermissible purpose." That is, the cops had engaged in a "suspicionless intrusion" upon the Fourth Amendment rights of Edmond and Palmer. The cops had violated their right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonabte se,arc hes and ~eizures." In the name of the Founding Fathers, what was so "unreasonable" about the use of drugdetecting dogs in Indianapolis? A sniff is just a sniff. It is not a "search." A"t'vo-minute delay is a ·trivial "seizure." As Justife O'Connor said, "Traffic in illegal narcotics creates social harms of the first magnitude." We are engaged in seri~ ous business here. Nothing in the Fourth Amendment prohibits law enforcement officers from reasonably combating the evil. Abundant · precedent supports the use of automobile checkpoints as a tool of, law enforcement. In a 1985 case the court approved roadblocks near the Mexican bcrder as a reasonable means to deter illegal aliens. In , 1990 the court approved a Michigan checkJoint program aimed at catching drunk drivers. Justice O'Connor acknowledged that the Fourth Amendment "almost certainly would permit an appropriately tailored roadblock set up to thwart an inuninent terrorist attack or to catch a dangerous criminal who is likely to flee by way of a particular route." It is constitutionally permissible to make random drug tests of athletes, pilots and railroad engineers. Under the court's opinion, a novel doctrine of "primary purpose" becomes controlling. If the primary purpose of a random sample checkpoint is "a general interest in crime control," the program is constitutionally intolerable. Away with it! But if a checkpoint program has a specific purpose, such as catching illegal inunigrants, it is constitutionally valid. In a baffiing footnote, O'Connor emphasized what the court was NOT deciding. "Becaus.e petitioners concede that the primary purpose of the Indianapolis checkpoints is narcotics detection, we need not decide whether the state may establish a checkpoint program with the primary pmpose of checking licenses or driver sobriety and a secondary purpose of interdicting narcotics . Specifically, we express no view on the question whether police may expand the scope of a liceme or sobriety checkpoint seizure in order to detect the presence of drugs in a stopped car." O 'C onnor's murky disclaimer leaves the cops in limbo. They still may establish checkpoints, but they cannot use them to best effect. Police thus find themselves in the kind of frustrating constraints imposed upon the darling daughter. She could hang her clothes on a hickory limb but not go near the water. Officers may randomly stop motorists to see if drivers are drunk, but in the process they may not use a dog to see if drivers are transporting drugs. This makes sense? Not much <cnse, surely. On reconsideration, I would say, no sense at all. Oames Kilpatmk is distl'ibwed by u ,itJCrsal Press Syndicate.) WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Supreme Court vindicated in recount .. WASHINGTON The United States Supreme Court is believed to have ducked the disputed presidential election results, but the . matter is far more'complex.lt is often forgotten that the Court, not having been elected, has no power base of voters, and unlike the executive branch, it has no ability to enforce its rulings. So the Co urt's only power lies in its credibility, which is why on the IIHJmentous 1954 Brown vs. llourd of Education decision outlawing school segregatio n it was unanl. mous , even though a number of justices ini ~ tially mtendecl to dissent. Important Supreme Court deci,jons need to be definitive to be credibil', and that is why the recent Election 2000 dec i~1o n was handled · as it was. Here is · \v bat Wi.: h.tve been able to discern and surnuse: Ch ief Justi"e William Rehnquist, along w ith Ju"i ces Anton in Sca li a and Clare nce Thomas, ore considered to be the right w'ing of the Court. Justice' Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy are ·the swing member>. Justi ces John Paul Stevens, Ruth lladcr Ginsbe rg, David Souter and Steven Flreyt•r re prese nt the moderate wing. (Some would say th'c left wing, but the reality of their votes does not support that view.) Only Ginsberg and Breyer are DeQlocratic appointees . During the election hea ring. the right and the swing winf,>s clearly kan cd toward the view that the Jack Anderson and Douglas Cohn NEA COLUMNIST Florida Supreme Court exceeded its auth ority by extending the deadline for countin g votes. The moderates disagreed , setting the stage for a 5- 4 vote that would decide a national election. l:lreyer and oth ers quickly sought a consensus compromise along the lines of what Ginsberg had suggested. The Florida court had relied upon both legislative and Florida constitutional foundations. It was th e Florida Constitution that pose d the problem and formed the basis for the five justices' leaning, because the U.S. Constitution provid ed authority for state legislat ures to elect electors or provide the laws under whi ch electors could be chmen. In other words, the U.S. Comtitution bypasses litate comtaunons by YOUR OPINIONS COUNT. 825 Third Ave., GaiUpolla, Ohio 740.446-2342 t. vesting electoral authority directly in the state legislatures. So, the moderates posed, it ' was l}Ot clear whether.the Florida Supreme Court was rely- · ing upon laws passed by the state legislature or whether it was relying solely upo n the Florida Constitution. Therefore. they convinced the right and swing wings to ask the Florida court. The effective result was a d ecisio n to remand the issue back to the Florida Supreme Court. No justices dissented, so th e de cisio n - although in strictly legal terms it was not a "decision" - was viewed as unanimous .Wh at actually happened was that the moderates won because the remanded decision communicated to the Florida Supreme Co urt the way to make its decision in such a way as to avoid U.S. Sup reme Cou rt interference. The U.S. Suprcm<' Court did 110t du c k.

Some suggest observers frilm the Jimmy Carter Center be asked to monitor the attempts to count; recount and certify results so a fair, free election can be guaranteed. The punched (or dimpled or pre8Tiant) cards used in the Florida · election are artifacts from the 1970s and 1980s. Much is made of the 99.9 percent accuracy achieved by counting machines for punched ballots. Hardly anyone emphasizts the mathematical fact that .Oi percent of 6 mi'llion votes is 6,000 votes which would be counted incorrectly or not at all under the best of conditions. · There are better ways. Riverside County in California has tested, purchased and installed a touch-screen system. Internet voting was tested in Arizona and California during the last election. In both systems, it's not possible to vote both "yes" and "no" on referenda or retention, Goodbye to the butterfly and spoiled ballots. There are concerns about security for online voting, but seeing s<Jmeone wander into a counting station with a plastic trash bag of punched card ballots that had been overlooked doesn't give one much faith in the security of our present systems .... • South Bend (Ind.) Tribune, 011 rite Elecroral College: It's easy to say that the United States ought to write the Electoral College right out of the Constitution and replace it with the in dis-· f!utable clarity of choosing the president by popular vote. What could be more sensible and practical? Why, the Founding Fath e rs probably would have provided for it themselves had they only been able to anticipate mass communication and the co mputer age. But wait. What about the law of unintended consequences? li can have clout that makes a seemingly antiquated article of the Constitution pale by comparison. The Founding Fathers, wise as they certainly were, could not have imagined America in 2000. They surely didn't imagine women votIng, among 100 million citizens of every race, religion and political J'>ersuasion, in 50 states Stretching from Maine to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They could not pos~ibly have dreamed of the means for gathering information that are .available to 21st ce ntury Americans. A commission o ught to be formed (at the behest of Congress or !he new president) to thoroughly study the effects of c hanging the way we pick presidents. Imagined consequences are just that ;.mgined. This is the time for a meaningful look at how to best reflect the people's will through the electoral process, an'd it should be done in a way that does not descend to partisan opportunism. :TODAY IN HISTORY • • : BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ' Today is Friday, Dec. 8, the 343rd day of 2000.

The court banned the use o a drug-sniffing dog at a traffic checkpoint. I' would have ruled for the dog. No one disputes the facts. In the summer of 1998 Indianapolis was having a serious problem with illicit drugs. Police responded with a carefully designed program of random traffic stops at six checkpoints in high-crime neighborhoods. At each location, police erected lighted signs warning motorists that they should be prepared to stop for a "narcotics checkpoint." Uniformed officers then checked one group of drivers at a time, asking each driver for his driver's license and motor vehicle registration. While the documents were being inspected, a K-9 officer walked his dog around the car. If everything was in order, the drivers were waved on their way. The whole process took no more than rwo to five minutes for each car. The program was so successful that in a four- month period, 104 motorists were arrested, 55 of them on narcotics charges, 49 for other criminal offenses. · James Edmond and Joell Palmer were among thme drivers who were stopped at a checkpoint. They were delayed for only a few minutes. They were not arrested for anything, but . they felt that so gross an imposition had violated their civil liberties. Encouraged by the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, they brought a federal cia." action under the Fourth Amendment. They won 2-1 last year in the Seventh Circuit. On Nov. 28 they won again, 6-3, in the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote a singularly unconvincing opinion for the high court. Sht· and her colleagues found that the Indianapolis police had been motivated by an James Kilpatrick NEA COLUMNIST "impermissible purpose." That is, the cops had engaged in a "suspicionless intrusion" upon the Fourth Amendment rights of Edmond and Palmer. The cops had violated their right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonabte se,arc hes and ~eizures." In the name of the Founding Fathers, what was so "unreasonable" about the use of drugdetecting dogs in Indianapolis? A sniff is just a sniff. It is not a "search." A"t'vo-minute delay is a ·trivial "seizure." As Justife O'Connor said, "Traffic in illegal narcotics creates social harms of the first magnitude." We are engaged in seri~ ous business here. Nothing in the Fourth Amendment prohibits law enforcement officers from reasonably combating the evil. Abundant · precedent supports the use of automobile checkpoints as a tool of, law enforcement. In a 1985 case the court approved roadblocks near the Mexican bcrder as a reasonable means to deter illegal aliens. In , 1990 the court approved a Michigan checkJoint program aimed at catching drunk drivers. Justice O'Connor acknowledged that the Fourth Amendment "almost certainly would permit an appropriately tailored roadblock set up to thwart an inuninent terrorist attack or to catch a dangerous criminal who is likely to flee by way of a particular route." It is constitutionally permissible to make random drug tests of athletes, pilots and railroad engineers. Under the court's opinion, a novel doctrine of "primary purpose" becomes controlling. If the primary purpose of a random sample checkpoint is "a general interest in crime control," the program is constitutionally intolerable. Away with it! But if a checkpoint program has a specific purpose, such as catching illegal inunigrants, it is constitutionally valid. In a baffiing footnote, O'Connor emphasized what the court was NOT deciding. "Becaus.e petitioners concede that the primary purpose of the Indianapolis checkpoints is narcotics detection, we need not decide whether the state may establish a checkpoint program with the primary pmpose of checking licenses or driver sobriety and a secondary purpose of interdicting narcotics . Specifically, we express no view on the question whether police may expand the scope of a liceme or sobriety checkpoint seizure in order to detect the presence of drugs in a stopped car." O 'C onnor's murky disclaimer leaves the cops in limbo. They still may establish checkpoints, but they cannot use them to best effect. Police thus find themselves in the kind of frustrating constraints imposed upon the darling daughter. She could hang her clothes on a hickory limb but not go near the water. Officers may randomly stop motorists to see if drivers are drunk, but in the process they may not use a dog to see if drivers are transporting drugs. This makes sense? Not much <cnse, surely. On reconsideration, I would say, no sense at all. Oames Kilpatmk is distl'ibwed by u ,itJCrsal Press Syndicate.) WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Supreme Court vindicated in recount .. WASHINGTON The United States Supreme Court is believed to have ducked the disputed presidential election results, but the . matter is far more'complex.lt is often forgotten that the Court, not having been elected, has no power base of voters, and unlike the executive branch, it has no ability to enforce its rulings. So the Co urt's only power lies in its credibility, which is why on the IIHJmentous 1954 Brown vs. llourd of Education decision outlawing school segregatio n it was unanl. mous , even though a number of justices ini ~ tially mtendecl to dissent. Important Supreme Court deci,jons need to be definitive to be credibil', and that is why the recent Election 2000 dec i~1o n was handled · as it was. Here is · \v bat Wi.: h.tve been able to discern and surnuse: Ch ief Justi"e William Rehnquist, along w ith Ju"i ces Anton in Sca li a and Clare nce Thomas, ore considered to be the right w'ing of the Court. Justice' Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy are ·the swing member>. Justi ces John Paul Stevens, Ruth lladcr Ginsbe rg, David Souter and Steven Flreyt•r re prese nt the moderate wing. (Some would say th'c left wing, but the reality of their votes does not support that view.) Only Ginsberg and Breyer are DeQlocratic appointees . During the election hea ring. the right and the swing winf,>s clearly kan cd toward the view that the Jack Anderson and Douglas Cohn NEA COLUMNIST Florida Supreme Court exceeded its auth ority by extending the deadline for countin g votes. The moderates disagreed , setting the stage for a 5- 4 vote that would decide a national election. l:lreyer and oth ers quickly sought a consensus compromise along the lines of what Ginsberg had suggested. The Florida court had relied upon both legislative and Florida constitutional foundations. It was th e Florida Constitution that pose d the problem and formed the basis for the five justices' leaning, because the U.S. Constitution provid ed authority for state legislat ures to elect electors or provide the laws under whi ch electors could be chmen. In other words, the U.S. Comtitution bypasses litate comtaunons by YOUR OPINIONS COUNT. 825 Third Ave., GaiUpolla, Ohio 740.446-2342 t. vesting electoral authority directly in the state legislatures. So, the moderates posed, it ' was l}Ot clear whether.the Florida Supreme Court was rely- · ing upon laws passed by the state legislature or whether it was relying solely upo n the Florida Constitution. Therefore. they convinced the right and swing wings to ask the Florida court. The effective result was a d ecisio n to remand the issue back to the Florida Supreme Court. No justices dissented, so th e de cisio n - although in strictly legal terms it was not a "decision" - was viewed as unanimous .Wh at actually happened was that the moderates won because the remanded decision communicated to the Florida Supreme Co urt the way to make its decision in such a way as to avoid U.S. Sup reme Cou rt interference. The U.S. Suprcm<' Court did 110t du c k.

DEAR WILLIAM: As far as I'm concerned. you may read my column anywhere, anytime -- and I'll defend to rhe e nd your right to do it. However, sometimes it's not what you say or what you do, but how you do it. If you're eating alone in an upscale resrauram, instead of spreading the newspaper like a blanket over the tablecloth; fold it neatly and mconsptcuously and enjoy it. That way th ere w11l be fewer smudges from the newsprint -- and no dirty looks coming your way.

FEELING BLUE IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR FEELING BLUE: Most people your age feel awkward asking for that "first date," so forget about it for a while. You 've placed too great an importance on "dating" and psyc hed yourself out. Get invo_lved in clubs or activities that appeal to both sexes. Learn to be part of · a group of friends . Start making casual conversanons with girls you like. Exaiilples: Talk about the weather, a recent news event. a classroom assignment, or a new movie opening this weekend. M aybe she and others would like to see it, too. If she doesn 't want to go -- or has other phns -- don 't take it personally. Ask another girl. Suggest some other activity. Soon you will be part .o f a group , feeling more romfortable and less shy. Tht'n , wh en you want a date for a school dance or sporting event , you' ll naturally a~k so meone you've gotten to know. and you won 't turn red and run away again. Trust 1nt:.

Bentley described chives as a popular culinary herb which is a mild flavored relative to onions, garlic and shallots. It grows in a bright-green clumps of round, hollow leaves that taper to a point, she said. In the summertime, round, rosy-purple blossoms made up of many individual flowers dot the mounds of green, and both leaves and blossoms are a favorite in many kitchens. Chives range in height from 12-1 B inches and grow in rich soil with plenty of sun and partial shade. Bentley then presented bread made from chives for the member,; to sample. Debbie Jones, president, opened the m eeting with devotions by reading, "November Woods." For roll call, everyone displayed a mum specimen. Appreciation was extended to Hqme Nalional Bank and Hubbard's Greenhouse for donations that went towards the club's beautification project at the Syracuse pool. It was noted that the club had charge of decorating thl! entrancl! to the C hristma~ flowl'r show.

(AP) -With all the modern trappings common now to most roadways striped pavement, power lines, painted signs - it> no wonder people who drive every day along roads and highways blazed by Daniel Boone might not think twice about who has come and gone here. But if Dr. Lawrence Fleenor is along for the trip, its impossible not to picture the man whose imprint on the region is so lasting and distinct thah it might as well be a giant thumbprint. The D~niel ·Boone Wilderness Trail starts m Kingsport, then winds out of Tennessee and into Southwest Virginia along U.S. Route 23/58. "Boone made the first improvements of what . had basically JUSt been a buffalo trail up until then,'' Fleenor said. Fleenor is among a growing number of Southwest Virginians and Northeast Tennesseans who are determined to solidity the Boone image in the minds of those who live and visit here. The Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association has made the roadway driver-friendly with additional road signs that point the way from its beginning to its end. The "reblazed" portion of the Boone Wilderness Trail starts at Netherland Inn and ends at the entrance to Cumberland Gap National Historic Park on the Virginia-Kentucky state line, a drive of approximately IOO:miles. Fleenor empha ized the importance of Boone's ' Syracuse First United Presbyterian Pastor: Rev. Knsana Robinson Sunday School- 10 a.m. Wor~hip ·II a.m. • ,. ,. ' Davls-QulckiJl Agency Inc.

The trail allowed pianecr settlers to push out the boundaries of the western frontier. "Boone wotJldn"t have called it the Boone Path or the Wilderness Path. He would've probably called it the .Great Indian Path,'' said Bob McConnell, president of the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association. " And that's basically what it was until he and ·his axmen started widening it so they could get wagons through it." · For members of the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association, reblazing the trail serves a dual purpose. The signs serve as an ode to Boone and his effect on the region's history, and they could also steer tourists to the area. At almost all of the 25 signs along the trail, . '' Fleenor can recite a Boone story. Soon, drivers will be able to listen to an audiocassette as they ·travel down the trail that will pair the narration of broadcaster Carl Swann with the historical insight> of Fleenor. , "I think it is one of the most important trails in the nation's hi;tory,'' Fleenor said, noting that despite radical changes in transporiation since Boone's days, drivers still follow in his footsteps almost daily. "The same fords, the same passes, the >ame gaps that define travel now, defined travel then." Man shares stones in backyard museum RIPPON - Tell Earl E.llifritz he has rucks in his head, and he might just take it as a coinpliment. .The 75-year-old proprietor of Earl Ellifritz's Rock Museum, located in the no-stoplight Eastern Panhandle town of Rippon just north of the Virginia line, has been a rock fanatic ever since he picked up his first stone more than half a century ago. That love has expanded into a full-fledged museum, a homage to stones and pebbles, gravel and boulders. The coal miner's son can't say what about that first rock caught his eye, a hard gray and pale pink stone about 1 1/2 feet long. The rock, found in a stream near Shepherdstown, keeps a place of honor in a rock-encrusted television set display specially crafted by Ellifritz. Yes, rock-encrusted television set. So no, Ellifritz, who has only a third-grade education, is not a typical rockbound. Several old geology books are dumped in a box in the corner of the museum. The few mounted rocks are just as likely to be labeled "West Virginia moon rock" as shale or sandstone. · "Looks just like the Apollo moon rock," Ellifritz says of one of his prized possessions. His theme is "beauty in rocks and nature," and he finds his own beauty in rocks. Ellifritz holds up one rock. "An ice cream sandwich." Another is a rubber duck. A third contains the image of an Arab praying. A glass ca>e holds a piece of a falling star. ''I'm calling it a falling star until someone proves differ- ent," Ellifritz says of the otherwise earthly looking hunk of stone. But if Ellifrnz doesn 'r see the imnu~diate beauty of a rock, he creates it. His proper title should be rock artist. · His museum is a treasure trove of untutored kitsch. The rock-encrusted televiswn set, its hollow insides filled with more rocks, sits next to a rock aquarium , Ellifritz calls the television set, which features hand carved letters spelling out "Beauty in rocks,'" his "pride and joy." A relief portrait of an Indian brave, upturned feather and all, hangs on the outside of the museum. A twin lies inside, a victim of gusty winds. A rock buffalo and literal Stone Age man hang nearby. Ellifritz has fashioned a three-dimensional map of West Virginia with stones. Crushed up rocks have been used to make wall hangings of birds and children. Shellac\<.ed rocks and seashells decorate a birdhouse. Petrified driftwood has been fashioned into the base of a lamp. He has even made a bust out of rocks, a tribute to 'all the ti~es people have teased him about having rocks in his head. Ellifritz has the rocks and the ideas - for years' worth ofprojew.Buckets of crushed stone sit on a worktable. A box of rocks, as yet undisplayed, waits on a staircase. Neighbors and friends cart him their finds. And Ellifritz himself remains an inveterate collector, filling his pockets with stones every time he goes out on a hunting or fishing trip. A trip to the store might end up with him bringing back something besides groceries. Harrisonville Presbylelian Church Worship· 9 a.m. SundRy ·School • 9:45 a m. Stventh-Day Adventist Mulberry llts.

(AP) -With all the modern trappings common now to most roadways striped pavement, power lines, painted signs - it> no wonder people who drive every day along roads and highways blazed by Daniel Boone might not think twice about who has come and gone here. But if Dr. Lawrence Fleenor is along for the trip, its impossible not to picture the man whose imprint on the region is so lasting and distinct thah it might as well be a giant thumbprint. The D~niel ·Boone Wilderness Trail starts m Kingsport, then winds out of Tennessee and into Southwest Virginia along U.S. Route 23/58. "Boone made the first improvements of what . had basically JUSt been a buffalo trail up until then,'' Fleenor said. Fleenor is among a growing number of Southwest Virginians and Northeast Tennesseans who are determined to solidity the Boone image in the minds of those who live and visit here. The Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association has made the roadway driver-friendly with additional road signs that point the way from its beginning to its end. The "reblazed" portion of the Boone Wilderness Trail starts at Netherland Inn and ends at the entrance to Cumberland Gap National Historic Park on the Virginia-Kentucky state line, a drive of approximately IOO:miles. Fleenor empha ized the importance of Boone's ' Syracuse First United Presbyterian Pastor: Rev. Knsana Robinson Sunday School- 10 a.m. Wor~hip ·II a.m. • ,. ,. ' Davls-QulckiJl Agency Inc.

The trail allowed pianecr settlers to push out the boundaries of the western frontier. "Boone wotJldn"t have called it the Boone Path or the Wilderness Path. He would've probably called it the .Great Indian Path,'' said Bob McConnell, president of the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association. " And that's basically what it was until he and ·his axmen started widening it so they could get wagons through it." · For members of the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association, reblazing the trail serves a dual purpose. The signs serve as an ode to Boone and his effect on the region's history, and they could also steer tourists to the area. At almost all of the 25 signs along the trail, . '' Fleenor can recite a Boone story. Soon, drivers will be able to listen to an audiocassette as they ·travel down the trail that will pair the narration of broadcaster Carl Swann with the historical insight> of Fleenor. , "I think it is one of the most important trails in the nation's hi;tory,'' Fleenor said, noting that despite radical changes in transporiation since Boone's days, drivers still follow in his footsteps almost daily. "The same fords, the same passes, the >ame gaps that define travel now, defined travel then." Man shares stones in backyard museum RIPPON - Tell Earl E.llifritz he has rucks in his head, and he might just take it as a coinpliment. .The 75-year-old proprietor of Earl Ellifritz's Rock Museum, located in the no-stoplight Eastern Panhandle town of Rippon just north of the Virginia line, has been a rock fanatic ever since he picked up his first stone more than half a century ago. That love has expanded into a full-fledged museum, a homage to stones and pebbles, gravel and boulders. The coal miner's son can't say what about that first rock caught his eye, a hard gray and pale pink stone about 1 1/2 feet long. The rock, found in a stream near Shepherdstown, keeps a place of honor in a rock-encrusted television set display specially crafted by Ellifritz. Yes, rock-encrusted television set. So no, Ellifritz, who has only a third-grade education, is not a typical rockbound. Several old geology books are dumped in a box in the corner of the museum. The few mounted rocks are just as likely to be labeled "West Virginia moon rock" as shale or sandstone. · "Looks just like the Apollo moon rock," Ellifritz says of one of his prized possessions. His theme is "beauty in rocks and nature," and he finds his own beauty in rocks. Ellifritz holds up one rock. "An ice cream sandwich." Another is a rubber duck. A third contains the image of an Arab praying. A glass ca>e holds a piece of a falling star. ''I'm calling it a falling star until someone proves differ- ent," Ellifritz says of the otherwise earthly looking hunk of stone. But if Ellifrnz doesn 'r see the imnu~diate beauty of a rock, he creates it. His proper title should be rock artist. · His museum is a treasure trove of untutored kitsch. The rock-encrusted televiswn set, its hollow insides filled with more rocks, sits next to a rock aquarium , Ellifritz calls the television set, which features hand carved letters spelling out "Beauty in rocks,'" his "pride and joy." A relief portrait of an Indian brave, upturned feather and all, hangs on the outside of the museum. A twin lies inside, a victim of gusty winds. A rock buffalo and literal Stone Age man hang nearby. Ellifritz has fashioned a three-dimensional map of West Virginia with stones. Crushed up rocks have been used to make wall hangings of birds and children. Shellac\<.ed rocks and seashells decorate a birdhouse. Petrified driftwood has been fashioned into the base of a lamp. He has even made a bust out of rocks, a tribute to 'all the ti~es people have teased him about having rocks in his head. Ellifritz has the rocks and the ideas - for years' worth ofprojew.Buckets of crushed stone sit on a worktable. A box of rocks, as yet undisplayed, waits on a staircase. Neighbors and friends cart him their finds. And Ellifritz himself remains an inveterate collector, filling his pockets with stones every time he goes out on a hunting or fishing trip. A trip to the store might end up with him bringing back something besides groceries. Harrisonville Presbylelian Church Worship· 9 a.m. SundRy ·School • 9:45 a m. Stventh-Day Adventist Mulberry llts.

Pass Allpaq Starting with the August 2000 issue , Bridge Magazine , the British monthly, absorbed one of its competitors,lntemational Popular Bridge Monthly. Editor Mark Horton aims the content squarely at serious tournament players. Yet he includes material from around the world, giving the publication a cosmopolitan feel. And there are also David Bird's articles about the monks of St. Titus, which I feel are almost worth che cost of the subscription. This deal of Bird's features a simple point, but with considerable complex.ity in the background. First, the easy: After a fourth-highest club six to East's ace and the club nine back, how does South guarantee three no-· trump? Then, a much harder question: Does West have a more effective opening lead? If the diamond finesse is working, the contract is secure. Yet with this layout , you must duck at trick two. If you cover with the jack or queen, West will hold up his king. Then, when East gets in with the diamo nd king, he will return his last club. and you will be one down . The Abbot (West) takes his partner to task for not playing the club ni·ne at trick one . But the declarer point s out that he would stili play low and get home. North then mentions that leading the club 10 at trick one , with East unblocking the nine, defeats the contract. If declarer ducks, West switches with effect to a heart. The Abbot almost has a conniption! A subscription is $70 per annum, with airmail to New York . Visit www.bridgemagazine .co.uk for details.

Pass Allpaq Starting with the August 2000 issue , Bridge Magazine , the British monthly, absorbed one of its competitors,lntemational Popular Bridge Monthly. Editor Mark Horton aims the content squarely at serious tournament players. Yet he includes material from around the world, giving the publication a cosmopolitan feel. And there are also David Bird's articles about the monks of St. Titus, which I feel are almost worth che cost of the subscription. This deal of Bird's features a simple point, but with considerable complex.ity in the background. First, the easy: After a fourth-highest club six to East's ace and the club nine back, how does South guarantee three no-· trump? Then, a much harder question: Does West have a more effective opening lead? If the diamond finesse is working, the contract is secure. Yet with this layout , you must duck at trick two. If you cover with the jack or queen, West will hold up his king. Then, when East gets in with the diamo nd king, he will return his last club. and you will be one down . The Abbot (West) takes his partner to task for not playing the club ni·ne at trick one . But the declarer point s out that he would stili play low and get home. North then mentions that leading the club 10 at trick one , with East unblocking the nine, defeats the contract. If declarer ducks, West switches with effect to a heart. The Abbot almost has a conniption! A subscription is $70 per annum, with airmail to New York . Visit www.bridgemagazine .co.uk for details.

George W. Bush beseeched th e U.S. Supreme Court to order a halt, but AI Gore's campaign manager said the count should continue "for good or bad." Evidently concerned that Gore might move into the lead, l:lush ,pressed three courts two federal and one state - to stop the recount, at least temporarily. "Whatever tabulations result fium his process will be incurable in the public consciousness and, once announced, cannot be retracted," no matter how flawed, his lawyers argued in papers filed at the U.S. Supreme Court. But as the recount machinery geared up, Bush was rebuffed at m.id~day by the state Supreme Court, where the justices refused to halt the recount to give time for the federal court• to rule. The legal maneuvering followed a 4-3 ruling on Friday by the state Supreme Court that ordered the partial manual recount sought by Gore, and whittled Bush's lead to an infinitesimal 193 votes o ut of roughly six million cast statewide. Bv mid-day Saturday, Gore had isai ned a net four votes on his rival. based on the first, partial returns fium Orange County.
