The increase reflects the rise in the consumer price index from November 1996 through October, the court said. Candidates for municipal and county court seats will be the first affected by the change. Under the new limits, in primary and general elections: • Individuals can contribute up to $275 to the campaign of municipal, county and common pleas judges, $550 to a court of appeals : judge and $2,200 to a supreme court justice. • Political action comntittees can contribute up to $2,750 to municipal, county, common pleas and appeals court judges and $5,500 to a supreme court justice.

The court also rule.d Friday that mail sent by rhe prison inmate who triggered the case cannot be channeled through a common pleas court. , The court's 5-2 ruling was the result of ~ challenge by inmate Lonny .Lee Bri~tow at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown, who said the law violated his right to due process and free access to the courts. Bristow, 27, is serving a 13-year sentence for theft, retaliation, aiding an esca pe, harassment by an inm:Hc and tdephone harassment. He has ftled 137 documented lawsuits since 1993, targeting hundreds of individuals, according to lawyers representing people Bristow has sued. One suit contamed at least 60 defendants. Bristow also has fded lawsuits against media outlets, including The Associated Press. Justice Alice Robie Resnick, writing for the majority, said Bristow's actions have unlade a mockery of the judicial system." . The court also ruled, however, that the Crawfotd County Common Pleas Court must modify itS order that all of Bristow's outgoing mail to any court be routed through a common pleas judge. · Mark Landes, a Columbus lawyer who argued the case on behalf ofRicldand County Prosecutor James Mayer, said the ruling could lead to further legislation. Landes said he would try to see if the State prison system could be allowed to revoke mailing privi- leges of Bristow and other inmates who take similir action. "We were pleased tlut the court found the statute constitutional. I think they recognized Bristow was a terrorist with a lawsuit instead of a gun," Landes said. "Unfortunately, they left us work to do. Now he can file suits just about anywhere he wants in the United States, and I suspect he will." Attorney General Betty Montgomery would be wiUing to discuss ideas to stop inmates from filing harassing lawsuits as long as they were constitutionally sound, Montgomery spokesman Joe Case said. Bristow's actions demonstrated the lengths he would go to tie up the courts and the people he. sued, the Supreme Court s~id.

The comp:my, which h;~ sn' t tumcd a profit sinre 1997, blamed its finan · cia! troubk on cheap imports that have driven down de mesne steel prices and sJ.id ir net:Ll'i ru secure bank loans to stay afloat. LTV empl oys about 7,600 Ohioans, including 4,000 at its massive Cleveland Works si te , which accotmt' for almost 60 percent of LTV's raw steel production . White said that if LTV closes, Cleveland and northeast Ohio would face an "econm11ic catastrophe." LTV's payroll is about $2'27 ntillion , according to Case Western University's Center for Regional Economic Issues. "Thousands of JObs are at stake. This is really about American steel, American steelworkers and their ability to do their job," US R ep. Dennis Kucinich said Friday while with a delegation of United Steelworkers in Youngstown where LTV filed for bankruptcy. Kucinich WJS among several lawm:~kcrs and civic leaders who gathered ea rlier this week to discuss ways to help LTV, including lowering the co mpany's cost of borrowing by selling bonds [Juough 1ts nonproJjt govcr111ncnt StJtU~. O n Thursday, Kucinich contacted Vi ce President-ele ct Dick Cheney and sever.Il members of Congress when he heard that LTV w,1s consider ing filing tOr bankruptcy. Whtte said he planned to urge the federal government to let LTV participate in a program that guarantees 85 percent of any loan made to a steel company. " We clea rly arc going to need more assistance from Washington. This afternoon, my administration is beginmng communication with the White House to try to assist LTV to get a green light to that guarantee," he said Friday. State Rep.-elect Mary Rose Oakar, whose distri(.l.i includes working-class Cleveland neighborhoods , said she ·plans to introduce a bill next week in the Ohio House that \vould help bail out LTV by using money from the state's rainyday fimd, which totals more than $1 biUion . LTV's bankruptcy fil1ng also concer ned iron companies. includ- ing Cleveland-Cliff< In c., the largest supplier of iron ore products to the North American steel industry. The Cleveland-based supplier recently signed a multiyear contract to provide ore to LTV, which previously announced plans to close its Minnesota ore mine in February. "Nonpetformance by LTV on these (contractu>!) obligations co uld have a significant imp;~ct on Cliffs" and its Empire Mine in . ~i c higan, said Joiln Bnnzo, Clifls chairm ~m and chi ef execurive officer. Brinzo and lawmakers said the federal government needs to halt the flow of cheap imports to save the nation's steel industry. LTV is the ninth U.S. steel company to file for bankruptcy protection in two years . "Unless rapid actions are taken to halt unfairly traded steel imports and soaring, unco ntrolled natural gas prices, we will continue to witness the destruction of the domestic steel industry," Brinzo said.

Candidates for municipal and county court seats will be the first affected by the change. Under the new limits, in primary and general elections: • Individuals can contribute up to $275 to the campaign of municipal, county and common pleas judges, $550 to a court of appeals : judge and $2,200 to a supreme court justice. • Political action comntittees can contribute up to $2,750 to municipal, county, common pleas and appeals court judges and $5,500 to a supreme court justice.

The court also rule.d Friday that mail sent by rhe prison inmate who triggered the case cannot be channeled through a common pleas court. , The court's 5-2 ruling was the result of ~ challenge by inmate Lonny .Lee Bri~tow at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown, who said the law violated his right to due process and free access to the courts. Bristow, 27, is serving a 13-year sentence for theft, retaliation, aiding an esca pe, harassment by an inm:Hc and tdephone harassment. He has ftled 137 documented lawsuits since 1993, targeting hundreds of individuals, according to lawyers representing people Bristow has sued. One suit contamed at least 60 defendants. Bristow also has fded lawsuits against media outlets, including The Associated Press. Justice Alice Robie Resnick, writing for the majority, said Bristow's actions have unlade a mockery of the judicial system." . The court also ruled, however, that the Crawfotd County Common Pleas Court must modify itS order that all of Bristow's outgoing mail to any court be routed through a common pleas judge. · Mark Landes, a Columbus lawyer who argued the case on behalf ofRicldand County Prosecutor James Mayer, said the ruling could lead to further legislation. Landes said he would try to see if the State prison system could be allowed to revoke mailing privi- leges of Bristow and other inmates who take similir action. "We were pleased tlut the court found the statute constitutional. I think they recognized Bristow was a terrorist with a lawsuit instead of a gun," Landes said. "Unfortunately, they left us work to do. Now he can file suits just about anywhere he wants in the United States, and I suspect he will." Attorney General Betty Montgomery would be wiUing to discuss ideas to stop inmates from filing harassing lawsuits as long as they were constitutionally sound, Montgomery spokesman Joe Case said. Bristow's actions demonstrated the lengths he would go to tie up the courts and the people he. sued, the Supreme Court s~id.

Ohio leaders ask White House,to help LTV CLEVELAND (A I') - M -1yor Michael rt. Whi te '"id Friday that he will t1sk the incoming adnli ni str.ttion of President-deft Bush to help LTV Corp., one of northea;t Ohio's brge~t employer~. White's announn.· mc..:nt came.: o n the same <by that LTV, the nation's third largest sreel prodLtcn, liled fiJr Chapter 11 bankruptcy protectio n from creditors. causing conce rn for the company's 1H,OOII emp loyees and 8,400 suppliers. The comp:my, which h;~ sn' t tumcd a profit sinre 1997, blamed its finan · cia! troubk on cheap imports that have driven down de mesne steel prices and sJ.id ir net:Ll'i ru secure bank loans to stay afloat. LTV empl oys about 7,600 Ohioans, including 4,000 at its massive Cleveland Works si te , which accotmt' for almost 60 percent of LTV's raw steel production . White said that if LTV closes, Cleveland and northeast Ohio would face an "econm11ic catastrophe." LTV's payroll is about $2'27 ntillion , according to Case Western University's Center for Regional Economic Issues. "Thousands of JObs are at stake. This is really about American steel, American steelworkers and their ability to do their job," US R ep. Dennis Kucinich said Friday while with a delegation of United Steelworkers in Youngstown where LTV filed for bankruptcy. Kucinich WJS among several lawm:~kcrs and civic leaders who gathered ea rlier this week to discuss ways to help LTV, including lowering the co mpany's cost of borrowing by selling bonds [Juough 1ts nonproJjt govcr111ncnt StJtU~. O n Thursday, Kucinich contacted Vi ce President-ele ct Dick Cheney and sever.Il members of Congress when he heard that LTV w,1s consider ing filing tOr bankruptcy. Whtte said he planned to urge the federal government to let LTV participate in a program that guarantees 85 percent of any loan made to a steel company. " We clea rly arc going to need more assistance from Washington. This afternoon, my administration is beginmng communication with the White House to try to assist LTV to get a green light to that guarantee," he said Friday. State Rep.-elect Mary Rose Oakar, whose distri(.l.i includes working-class Cleveland neighborhoods , said she ·plans to introduce a bill next week in the Ohio House that \vould help bail out LTV by using money from the state's rainyday fimd, which totals more than $1 biUion . LTV's bankruptcy fil1ng also concer ned iron companies. includ- ing Cleveland-Cliff< In c., the largest supplier of iron ore products to the North American steel industry. The Cleveland-based supplier recently signed a multiyear contract to provide ore to LTV, which previously announced plans to close its Minnesota ore mine in February. "Nonpetformance by LTV on these (contractu>!) obligations co uld have a significant imp;~ct on Cliffs" and its Empire Mine in . ~i c higan, said Joiln Bnnzo, Clifls chairm ~m and chi ef execurive officer. Brinzo and lawmakers said the federal government needs to halt the flow of cheap imports to save the nation's steel industry. LTV is the ninth U.S. steel company to file for bankruptcy protection in two years . "Unless rapid actions are taken to halt unfairly traded steel imports and soaring, unco ntrolled natural gas prices, we will continue to witness the destruction of the domestic steel industry," Brinzo said. BiU Prejsnar, a 55-year-old electtician at the LTV coke plant in Warren , joined about 200 Steel\vorkers and lawmak~rs who gathered Friday outside Youngstown 's federal courthouse while LTV filed for bankruptcy -s;~-;-, ,. . ..

NSWER · Although everyone is different, it sounds like your brother's doctor IS correct. It ts not uncommon at all to find patients that are under treated or not being treated at all for abnormal cholesterol levels, even though this is now a well established risk factor for a heart attack or stroke. Accordmg to · ·: recent studies, approximately · 90% of patients who regularly see a physician, are being under treated for abnormal cholesterol levels. This is quite discouraging , ' ecause we now know that 1f you get your cholesterol and LDL at, or below, established guidelines, you can significantly reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. There are at least 25 established risk factors for a heart attack or stroke and it sounds to me that you should be examined more completely to help reduce your risk. octor Robert Holley is the reas only cholesterol specialist, or Atherothrombotic Disease pecia/ist, which means he has had special training, and is an expert in identifying and reating all the various risk actors that lead to a heart ttack or stroke.

It's the easy way or the bard way. ' We recommend the former, m whJCh Congress passes the longstagnating Equity m Prescriptton Insurance and Contraceptive Coverage Act . The law would do preCISely what the title implies Reqmre employers that cover any prescription med1cat10n cover prescription contraceptives.

NSWER · Although everyone is different, it sounds like your brother's doctor IS correct. It ts not uncommon at all to find patients that are under treated or not being treated at all for abnormal cholesterol levels, even though this is now a well established risk factor for a heart attack or stroke. Accordmg to · ·: recent studies, approximately · 90% of patients who regularly see a physician, are being under treated for abnormal cholesterol levels. This is quite discouraging , ' ecause we now know that 1f you get your cholesterol and LDL at, or below, established guidelines, you can significantly reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. There are at least 25 established risk factors for a heart attack or stroke and it sounds to me that you should be examined more completely to help reduce your risk. octor Robert Holley is the reas only cholesterol specialist, or Atherothrombotic Disease pecia/ist, which means he has had special training, and is an expert in identifying and reating all the various risk actors that lead to a heart ttack or stroke.

But on Saturday, some residents will be one step ahead of every" one eLse - - they're celebrating New Year's Eve a day early. In Provo and St. George, two heavily Mormon towns, party orga, · nizers moved the celebrations ahead because many church members · are expected to spend Sunday quietly observing the Sabbath. · "We're not going to have a countdown," said Marc Mortensen, organizer of Saturday's early-bird celebration in St. George. "We're :· ,not going to pretend like it's New Year's Eve. It's just a New Year's .party." . · Mortensen expects about 25,000 people at the celebration. He said staging the event on Sunday would have probably cut attendance in half and made it unprofitable. "It's more of a business decision, not a religious one,'' Mortensen said. "It makes more sense." The Church' ofJesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has told me~bers , they can take part in "dancing and other activities" on Saturday but , must be home before midnight. The church is encouraging members to spend Sunday quietly at home with their families and other church members, and to take part in activities "appropriate for the Sabbath day". • . Church headquarters will be open Sunday night, and the entertainment will include religious movies. Court overturns fetal tissue ban SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court panel has ruled unconstitutional. an Arizon'a law prohibiting the use of fetal tissue in medical research. The decision Friday from the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wipes out the nation's last ban on such practices. The 1984 Arizona statute was too vague for doctors to know what type of medical experimentation or scientific investigation on aborted fetuses was illegal. the court said . "Individuals must be given a reasonable opportunity to discern whether their 'conduct is proscribed so they can choose whether or !lot to comply with the law," Judge Mary M. Schroeder wrote for the court. Similar laws have been overturned in Utah, Louisiana and Illinois. Congress lifted a ban on federally funded research using feral tissue · in 1993. Arizona's law barred the use of aborted fetal tissue or embryo for ntedical experimentation or scientific or medical investigation unless to perform a "routine pathological examination" or to diagnose a maternal or fetal condition thas prompted the abortion.

Cities wam of the danler of New Year's Eve gun 1re NEW ORLEANS (AP) Terry Smith lives with a bullet lodged in her left lung, the victim of a New Year's Eve tradition in some cities around the country of firing guns into the air at midnight. This year, she is staying inside. "I feel vulnerable, even if I'm two feet in front of my door,'' said Smith, a 27- year- old .single moth er of .two, who was hit as she watched fireworks from a New Orleans church rooftop last year. "[ don't want to be outside, l don't want my children outside o'r my family outside." Around the country, the sometimes le thal practice has prompted tougher laws, public awareness campaigns, even the deployment of batdefield technology that can pinpoint the source of gunfire. In. Arizona last year, firing a gun into the a. was raised from a misdemeanor to a felony, punishable by up to a year behind bars. The law came in response to the death of a 14-year-old Shannon Smith in June 1999. Bur with the frequency of fallin~ bullets highest around this time of year, Shannon's Law has · become the centerpiece of a holiday publicsafety campaign warning people /lOt to fire guns into the air. Phoenix City Councilman · Phil Gordon said he expects that police will soon .be aided by a random gunfire-detection system. The system, an offshoot of technology used in the GulfWar, uses sound sensors to pinpoint the source of gunfire and proadcasts the coordinates to police. A similar system , called Shotspotter, has been used in Los Angeles and in Redwood City, Cali f. Los Angeles County shentf's oflicials were not satisfied last New Year's, saying the . device cou ld' not differentiate between gunshots and fireworks.

In Provo and St. George, two heavily Mormon towns, party orga, · nizers moved the celebrations ahead because many church members · are expected to spend Sunday quietly observing the Sabbath. · "We're not going to have a countdown," said Marc Mortensen, organizer of Saturday's early-bird celebration in St. George. "We're :· ,not going to pretend like it's New Year's Eve. It's just a New Year's .party." . · Mortensen expects about 25,000 people at the celebration. He said staging the event on Sunday would have probably cut attendance in half and made it unprofitable. "It's more of a business decision, not a religious one,'' Mortensen said. "It makes more sense." The Church' ofJesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has told me~bers , they can take part in "dancing and other activities" on Saturday but , must be home before midnight. The church is encouraging members to spend Sunday quietly at home with their families and other church members, and to take part in activities "appropriate for the Sabbath day". • .

Court overturns fetal tissue ban SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court panel has ruled unconstitutional. an Arizon'a law prohibiting the use of fetal tissue in medical research. The decision Friday from the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wipes out the nation's last ban on such practices. The 1984 Arizona statute was too vague for doctors to know what type of medical experimentation or scientific investigation on aborted fetuses was illegal. the court said . "Individuals must be given a reasonable opportunity to discern whether their 'conduct is proscribed so they can choose whether or !lot to comply with the law," Judge Mary M. Schroeder wrote for the court. Similar laws have been overturned in Utah, Louisiana and Illinois. Congress lifted a ban on federally funded research using feral tissue · in 1993. Arizona's law barred the use of aborted fetal tissue or embryo for ntedical experimentation or scientific or medical investigation unless to perform a "routine pathological examination" or to diagnose a maternal or fetal condition thas prompted the abortion.

NEW YORK (AP) -Wall Street stumbled into the close of its worst year in decades, cutting short a holiday rally, as investors dumped laggard stocks to record tax losses.

Cities wam of the danler of New Year's Eve gun 1re NEW ORLEANS (AP) Terry Smith lives with a bullet lodged in her left lung, the victim of a New Year's Eve tradition in some cities around the country of firing guns into the air at midnight. This year, she is staying inside. "I feel vulnerable, even if I'm two feet in front of my door,'' said Smith, a 27- year- old .single moth er of .two, who was hit as she watched fireworks from a New Orleans church rooftop last year. "[ don't want to be outside, l don't want my children outside o'r my family outside." Around the country, the sometimes le thal practice has prompted tougher laws, public awareness campaigns, even the deployment of batdefield technology that can pinpoint the source of gunfire. In. Arizona last year, firing a gun into the a. was raised from a misdemeanor to a felony, punishable by up to a year behind bars. The law came in response to the death of a 14-year-old Shannon Smith in June 1999. Bur with the frequency of fallin~ bullets highest around this time of year, Shannon's Law has · become the centerpiece of a holiday publicsafety campaign warning people /lOt to fire guns into the air. Phoenix City Councilman · Phil Gordon said he expects that police will soon .be aided by a random gunfire-detection system. The system, an offshoot of technology used in the GulfWar, uses sound sensors to pinpoint the source of gunfire and proadcasts the coordinates to police. A similar system , called Shotspotter, has been used in Los Angeles and in Redwood City, Cali f.

Paden City 45 I .' some trouble with some impressive full court pressure. The Eagles pushed ahead with the help of several Vinton County fouls and a couple ni ce assists by Chris Lyons. By continuing their full court, pressure the Eagles held the Vikings lo only seven points in th e first quarter. At the start of the second penad, the Vikings were trailing the red hot Eagles , 19-7. The second quarter proved to be a very physical one, with both teams beginning to find starters in foul troubl e. With some solid shooting from junior guard Garrett Karr, and a spectacular slam-dunk by Matt Simpsol), the Eagles wok a commanding 27-18 lead. Vinton County called a timeout, and with Jason Eberts adding three straight points, got back into the gan1e . The Eagle full court pressure again gave the Vikings trouble, Karr capitalized off the Viking misfortunes , adding a key steal and lay up returning the momen - . tum back to the Eagles side. The Eagles led by a six-point margin a1 the half, with the scoreboard reading 32-26.

And the number of women hunters is on the rise. Sharon Pack, 26, of Beckley is an example. She harvested a 4-point buck recently in 20-degree temperatures while hunting in Fayette County. And though she'd hunted for eight years without getting a buck, she wasn't about to quit. "The weather was nasty," Pack said. "It was snowing, blowing; it almost wiped me out.

"A hunter must get really close to the deer. Bur l did see several bucks during the bow season and I'm excited about hunting again next year."

Club, told 38 members at a monthly meeting on D ec. 13 that the past three months over i\30 people had completed the gun salety classes that Donnet and club treasurer Ed Clary had conducted. ' "Our people must be get\ing much smarte" because very few of them are failing the examination now compared to the way it was a few years ago when about one fourth of the class would flunk out;' said Donnet. "AU of us are very happy with the turnout we've had for these gun safety counes, espec;ally the response from our Amish community in Gallia County." PRIZE CATCH - The lack of people in the state is one reason why West Virginia is a great place to hunt and fish. But when you consider the number of licenses and stamps required to hunt and fish, W~st Virginia sells more licenses to nonresidents than any other state. West Virginians are not likely to see tru~jor changes in the state's population in the next few years. That means oak trees, mountain glades and farm fields are likely to remain as they are today. From a hunting and fishing standpoint, is good for resident huntets. Small population growth means good hunting for everyone . . "I'm looking forward to bringing a positive atmosphere to the commission and working diligently with the people of Gallia County to achieve a high quality of economic development. I would also like to focus more on cleaning up Gallia County. Litter control is an issue that needs more attention in the coming year." Bill Davis Gallla County commlssloneHlect "It would really be nice to see the economy · grow, both locally and nationally. If the new year were to open with more business for local merchants, that would be a tremendously good start. I also wish that the weather will get a lot more warmer." Debbie Vanlnwagen cashier at Powell's Supermarket, Pomeroy "Peace and goodwill throughout the world would be quite wonderful and a better local economy, I believe, would prove to be very beneficial for the community in the upcoming year." Judy Eichinger clerk at The Fabric Shop, Pomeroy "I hope that the economy doesn't crash and that President-elect George W. Bush will resign his post to AI Gore in 2001. It would also be really special if gas prices would go down. They are currently way to expensive ." Tonya Griffin manager of lnst&Cash Pomeroy "Basically, I just want one thing. I want to win the lot- ' tery!" Jim Ritchie custodian Racine "My two main goals for Gallla County in the coming year include helping to find a tenant for the industrial park and placing the Gallia Academy High School in a new school building soon. District-wide, I would like to see more jobs, and improve access to technology for the entire area. " State Rep.

Club, told 38 members at a monthly meeting on D ec. 13 that the past three months over i\30 people had completed the gun salety classes that Donnet and club treasurer Ed Clary had conducted. ' "Our people must be get\ing much smarte" because very few of them are failing the examination now compared to the way it was a few years ago when about one fourth of the class would flunk out;' said Donnet. "AU of us are very happy with the turnout we've had for these gun safety counes, espec;ally the response from our Amish community in Gallia County." PRIZE CATCH - The lack of people in the state is one reason why West Virginia is a great place to hunt and fish. But when you consider the number of licenses and stamps required to hunt and fish, W~st Virginia sells more licenses to nonresidents than any other state. West Virginians are not likely to see tru~jor changes in the state's population in the next few years. That means oak trees, mountain glades and farm fields are likely to remain as they are today. From a hunting and fishing standpoint, is good for resident huntets. Small population growth means good hunting for everyone . . "I'm looking forward to bringing a positive atmosphere to the commission and working diligently with the people of Gallia County to achieve a high quality of economic development. I would also like to focus more on cleaning up Gallia County. Litter control is an issue that needs more attention in the coming year." Bill Davis Gallla County commlssloneHlect "It would really be nice to see the economy · grow, both locally and nationally. If the new year were to open with more business for local merchants, that would be a tremendously good start. I also wish that the weather will get a lot more warmer." Debbie Vanlnwagen cashier at Powell's Supermarket, Pomeroy "Peace and goodwill throughout the world would be quite wonderful and a better local economy, I believe, would prove to be very beneficial for the community in the upcoming year." Judy Eichinger clerk at The Fabric Shop, Pomeroy "I hope that the economy doesn't crash and that President-elect George W. Bush will resign his post to AI Gore in 2001.

Accotding to the book on Gallia's One Room Schools, the Waugh B<)ttom School was dosed in January of 1935 when students at Waugh Bottom, Paw Paw and Oak Dale Schools were consolidated into the Swan Creek S~hool.

But not to worry, another year is right around the corner and who knows what it might bring. Part of the deal of being a long-ter m fund investor is riding . through both good and bad markets. And as each year comes to a close, the year-end performance tallies on their funds can either make us smile or wish we had more invested 111 those seemingly boring money market funds. But no matter how one financial year turns out, there's always the future. To shed some light on what it might bring, here are thoughts from a fe.w lund portfolio managers. Small-cap fund• - Mark Seferovich and Grant Sarris, are both senior vice preside11ts and portfolio man agers on three of Waddell & Reed's funds; the Target Small Cap Fund, the Advisors Small Cap Fund and the Small Cap Growth Fund. "We are on the growth side of small-caps, as opposed to the value side," says Seferovich. "A nd that's been especially difficult this past year." According to Seferovich, most of this year's performance damage came from th e momentum stocks, that is, the very speculative or concept companies, that were held in each fund. But, he points out, with 15 to 20 percent siting in cash in each fund and the hope that the Fed will cut int eresr rates soon, he and Sarris don't see a gloomy future for small'· cap growth stocks. l nstead, they are in the process oflook- · mg for new companies to invest the fund's ass.ets 111., ThQse of particular interest are the stocks of co mpanies that got caught up in the down draft of the markets, like the ''guilt-by-association stocks," ones that have established liq, uidiry and earnings records. "We've gotten to the point where you're no longer paying a huge premium to bu'y some of these high•growth smaller companies," says Sarris. "So, it's time to start looking through the rubble to pick out the .best ones. Please see Year, Pace D6 ' Have a business news item?

But not to worry, another year is right around the corner and who knows what it might bring. Part of the deal of being a long-ter m fund investor is riding . through both good and bad markets. And as each year comes to a close, the year-end performance tallies on their funds can either make us smile or wish we had more invested 111 those seemingly boring money market funds. But no matter how one financial year turns out, there's always the future. To shed some light on what it might bring, here are thoughts from a fe.w lund portfolio managers. Small-cap fund• - Mark Seferovich and Grant Sarris, are both senior vice preside11ts and portfolio man agers on three of Waddell & Reed's funds; the Target Small Cap Fund, the Advisors Small Cap Fund and the Small Cap Growth Fund. "We are on the growth side of small-caps, as opposed to the value side," says Seferovich. "A nd that's been especially difficult this past year." According to Seferovich, most of this year's performance damage came from th e momentum stocks, that is, the very speculative or concept companies, that were held in each fund. But, he points out, with 15 to 20 percent siting in cash in each fund and the hope that the Fed will cut int eresr rates soon, he and Sarris don't see a gloomy future for small'· cap growth stocks. l nstead, they are in the process oflook- · mg for new companies to invest the fund's ass.ets 111., ThQse of particular interest are the stocks of co mpanies that got caught up in the down draft of the markets, like the ''guilt-by-association stocks," ones that have established liq, uidiry and earnings records. "We've gotten to the point where you're no longer paying a huge premium to bu'y some of these high•growth smaller companies," says Sarris. "So, it's time to start looking through the rubble to pick out the .best ones. Please see Year, Pace D6 ' Have a business news item?
