Fatal house fire investigated DAYTON (AP) - Investigators . were looking into whether the fire that killed a ,U niversity of Dayton student was caused by others playing with burning objects. A student died early Sunday morning in a house fire near campus. Seven housemates escaped the two-story woodframe house that is owned by the university. The body was found in a second-story bedroom. The university tentatively identified the student, but the body was burned beyond recogmtion. An official identification was awaited from the Montgomery County coroner's office. Dayton homicide detectives helped fire investigators look through the rubble for clues to the cause. Investigators were looking into the possibility that other studen(s may have been tossing lit pieces of paper or other burning items. "That is one possibility we are lookmg at," Dayton fire investigator Bruce Van Dorpe said. · Fire Lt. Joseph Renacs said the cause of the fire and where it started had not been determined.

A student died early Sunday morning in a house fire near campus. Seven housemates escaped the two-story woodframe house that is owned by the university. The body was found in a second-story bedroom. The university tentatively identified the student, but the body was burned beyond recogmtion. An official identification was awaited from the Montgomery County coroner's office. Dayton homicide detectives helped fire investigators look through the rubble for clues to the cause. Investigators were looking into the possibility that other studen(s may have been tossing lit pieces of paper or other burning items. "That is one possibility we are lookmg at," Dayton fire investigator Bruce Van Dorpe said. · Fire Lt. Joseph Renacs said the cause of the fire and where it started had not been determined.

MEARS WASHINGTON Dick Cheney could wind up rewriting the job description for being No.2. · llut his vice presidential pmspects were left in doubt Friday when the Florida Supreme Court ordered ballot recounts that could undo George W. Bush's certified edge for the dectoral votes to win the White House. That ruling pulled . AI Gore's presidential quest back from the brink, with Bush already planning a new Republican administratiop. He said Cheney would be an integral part of it. That was evident in the fact that Cheney · already is centtal to the process of planning it. In this case, the promise of a significant role is more than the standard political nicety. Under the stress of the election challenge, Cheney · emerged as a major player in the Bush lineup. Beyond that, a· new Republican vice president would be on call at the Capitol to break ties in the evenly divided Senate. , The vice presidency has evolved from standby equipment, as one former No. 2 described it, to a sort of deputy's position, a day job as adviser and~pecial assignments man for the president.

MEARS WASHINGTON Dick Cheney could wind up rewriting the job description for being No.2. · llut his vice presidential pmspects were left in doubt Friday when the Florida Supreme Court ordered ballot recounts that could undo George W. Bush's certified edge for the dectoral votes to win the White House. That ruling pulled . AI Gore's presidential quest back from the brink, with Bush already planning a new Republican administratiop. He said Cheney would be an integral part of it. That was evident in the fact that Cheney · already is centtal to the process of planning it. In this case, the promise of a significant role is more than the standard political nicety. Under the stress of the election challenge, Cheney · emerged as a major player in the Bush lineup. Beyond that, a· new Republican vice president would be on call at the Capitol to break ties in the evenly divided Senate. , The vice presidency has evolved from standby equipment, as one former No. 2 described it, to a sort of deputy's position, a day job as adviser and~pecial assignments man for the president.

The Christmas season accounts for nearly a quarter of all holidaytype cards sold, according to the Greeting Card Association, a trade association for the more than 2,000 card publishers nationwide. On Monday alone, U.S. Posul Service officials expect to postmark a whopping 280 million pieces of mail - part of an estimated 3 peftent increase in volume over last year's holiday season.

The industry expec~ computer users to send as many as 100 million ecards this season. If you're stiU a paper card fan, some companies will do much of the work for you. This year, Ja Ying Wang took a photo of.her 4-year-old daughter LiLi, had it scanned onto a computer disc at a photo proce~sor and shot it off to a company called CardStore.com. Wang then uploaded addresses from her computer and used the company's Web site to type slightly modified personal messages. The company assembled the cards and messages, addressed and stamped the envelopes and sent them in bulk to Wang and her husband, who are adding their personal signatures. She says the whole process took two hours and about $180 for about I 00 cards - compared with 10 hours and $150 last year. · " It Just makes you fed like a: load has been lifted off your' shoulders," says Wang, a mosai<; artist in Alameda, Calif. But not everyone is embracing technology - or even trying to save time or money. Georgette Mosbacher, the CEO of New York-based Borghesc Cosmetics, sends fancy needlepoint pillows with holiday messages to her friends. Hyde Danforth & Co., a human resources consulting firm in Dallas, gives small reproductions of oil paintings to clients as holiday cards. Most go to the effort to send holiday greetings for a pretty basic reason, says Jack Santino, a professor offolklore and popular culture at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

"I'm a copycat holiday ca rd sender - you send me one: I'll send you one," says N ew Yorker Judy Katz. "Otherwise, I'm not intacsted in sending little cardboard cutouts with 'cheer' all over thC:m." , Still. some have had little luck limiting their lists. The Christmas season accounts for nearly a quarter of all holidaytype cards sold, according to the Greeting Card Association, a trade association for the more than 2,000 card publishers nationwide. On Monday alone, U.S. Posul Service officials expect to postmark a whopping 280 million pieces of mail - part of an estimated 3 peftent increase in volume over last year's holiday season. " I can't stop," says Donna Hardwick of Boston, noting. that it's the only way she stays in touch with some frierids. uAnd hey, it makes me feel good!" Some greeters 'are turning to the Internet to keep up, sending free "dectronic cards that incorporate graphics and so~etillleS even video fcom sites like Amazon.com, BlueMountain.com and Yahoo! 11 Traditional card co mpames such as American Greetings and Hallmark have their own lines of "e-~ards," as do rwnprofit sites like wwwnewdream.org, which uses children's artwork in its cards. The industry expec~ computer users to send as many as 100 million ecards this season. If you're stiU a paper card fan, some companies will do much of the work for you. This year, Ja Ying Wang took a photo of.her 4-year-old daughter LiLi, had it scanned onto a computer disc at a photo proce~sor and shot it off to a company called CardStore.com. Wang then uploaded addresses from her computer and used the company's Web site to type slightly modified personal messages. The company assembled the cards and messages, addressed and stamped the envelopes and sent them in bulk to Wang and her husband, who are adding their personal signatures. She says the whole process took two hours and about $180 for about I 00 cards - compared with 10 hours and $150 last year. · " It Just makes you fed like a: load has been lifted off your' shoulders," says Wang, a mosai<; artist in Alameda, Calif. But not everyone is embracing technology - or even trying to save time or money. Georgette Mosbacher, the CEO of New York-based Borghesc Cosmetics, sends fancy needlepoint pillows with holiday messages to her friends. Hyde Danforth & Co., a human resources consulting firm in Dallas, gives small reproductions of oil paintings to clients as holiday cards. Most go to the effort to send holiday greetings for a pretty basic reason, says Jack Santino, a professor offolklore and popular culture at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. "It's part of a wish to connect," says Santino, who wrote the book "AU Around the Ye;r: Holidays and Celebrations in America n Life." 1 Battle Under the Boards Saturday's Games CHICAC;O (AI') - C.1ry Fin<' rc..'ll1L'IllbLT\ hi~ mothL·r's Jtmu.tl nnul \\dl: notl'\ lovmgly penned on cn\p c.JTds, tucked 111 cnvdopc..·s ..llldrcsseJ and sent to scores of t:1mily me-mbers and ti·il'nds 111 rime fo r Chri\tlllas.

Well, when you have taken possession of your hand at the start of a deal, no doubt you count up your high-card points. However, are you aware that the 4-32-i scale isn't that accurate? It undervalues aces and kings, and overvalues queens and jacks ("quacks"). A more accurate assessment would be 4.5, 3.25, 1.75 and 0.5. However, most pea· pie do not want to add up decimals or fractions. (if you are good at mental arithmetic, use an 1813-7 •2 scale, dividing by four once you've totaled your points.) Yet the basic point is: · Upgrade with aces and kings, but devalue with quacks . What do you think of South's opening bid? How would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-high· est spade' Using my 18-1 3-7-2 scale, the South hand evaluates to 20.5 points. And you should add one point fo1· a decent five-card suit. (What is "decent "? I would say queen -jack-nine-fifth or better.) So, you are up to 21.5 poinls : enough 10 open two no-trump. (If you still open two no-trump with 22-24 points, tune in tomonow.) North uses S1ayman. then signs off in three no-trump once no heart fit is uncovered . You have six top tricks: one spade, three hearts and two dia·monds. The other tricks will come from clubs. But first you must try to draw the spade venom. Hold up your spade ace until the third round. Then attack clubs, preferably starting with the jack, the honor frorh the shorter side first. Here, you slide home with an overtrick. 8 20 Musician ·· · East abbr. 34 Subtle .. .• sarcasms Bv PHILLIP ALDER 740-992·2269 ·Advertise in -this space for $50 per month. time connector Not all equal • Fillwood • Light hauling • Tree & hedge trimming &.removal CHRISTMAS TREES wllh rootball Delivery Available CaR 992·7285 BARR'S NURSERY here!" 57 Starchy plants Opening lead: • 5 PomeroyJ Ohio Bill Slack 241 Salam St. Rutland, Ohio Monday thru Saturday 10amto5pm • ., 3• 992·6215 Nov. 24-Dec. 24 UNIQUE OLDIES • S..ulb 2NT Wagon Rides on Weekends.

Well, when you have taken possession of your hand at the start of a deal, no doubt you count up your high-card points. However, are you aware that the 4-32-i scale isn't that accurate? It undervalues aces and kings, and overvalues queens and jacks ("quacks"). A more accurate assessment would be 4.5, 3.25, 1.75 and 0.5. However, most pea· pie do not want to add up decimals or fractions. (if you are good at mental arithmetic, use an 1813-7 •2 scale, dividing by four once you've totaled your points.) Yet the basic point is: · Upgrade with aces and kings, but devalue with quacks . What do you think of South's opening bid? How would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-high· est spade' Using my 18-1 3-7-2 scale, the South hand evaluates to 20.5 points. And you should add one point fo1· a decent five-card suit. (What is "decent "? I would say queen -jack-nine-fifth or better.) So, you are up to 21.5 poinls : enough 10 open two no-trump. (If you still open two no-trump with 22-24 points, tune in tomonow.) North uses S1ayman. then signs off in three no-trump once no heart fit is uncovered . You have six top tricks: one spade, three hearts and two dia·monds. The other tricks will come from clubs. But first you must try to draw the spade venom. Hold up your spade ace until the third round. Then attack clubs, preferably starting with the jack, the honor frorh the shorter side first. Here, you slide home with an overtrick. 8 20 Musician ·· · East abbr. 34 Subtle .. .• sarcasms Bv PHILLIP ALDER 740-992·2269 ·Advertise in -this space for $50 per month. time connector Not all equal • Fillwood • Light hauling • Tree & hedge trimming &.removal CHRISTMAS TREES wllh rootball Delivery Available CaR 992·7285 BARR'S NURSERY here!" 57 Starchy plants Opening lead: • 5 PomeroyJ Ohio Bill Slack 241 Salam St. Rutland, Ohio Monday thru Saturday 10amto5pm • ., 3• 992·6215 Nov. 24-Dec. 24 UNIQUE OLDIES • S..ulb 2NT Wagon Rides on Weekends.

In order to comply .,.,;th the Clean A1r Act and to meet the rc:qmrement of reduction of t'tlmsiom to H5 percent of 1lJ90 levels of mtruus oxtde, AEP has bq.~un to consider thr: placemmt of tanks of the undil11ted anunonia at the Cheshm· plant for usc in the scrllbhlng process. The proposal has dr.twn critict<.,lll fmm rcsidt'nts in the area, particularly 111 the V1llage of Chdme, bec.1use of the highly hazardous nature of the chemical and the close proxunity of the plant to the conmmnity and area o:;chools.
