Not true. They Jive a lavish lifestyle

to adopt my son as soon as the boy is

: ~ASHIN~TON ~AP) -.After. swearing to judge
Prestden~ Omton fanly and tmparttally, s~nators from
both parll~s gathered t~ay for an extraordmary private
meeting atmed at workmg out a framework for the impeachment lrial. "We're
close," Senate Democratic leader Tom
Daschle said as he arrived.
Republicans and . Democrats walked
together into the Old Benate
the scene of many great debates in
first .half _of the. 19th centuey~ in a. show
of 5tpartrsanshtp as both Slde tned to
k~ep the proceedings from dissolving
into partisan sniping.
·
"Just the fact that we're meeting I'm always optimistic," Sen . Connie
Mack, R-Fia., said.
Majority Leader Trent Lou and
Daschle, each with his own plans for a trial, invited
rank-and-file members to the room that was the Senate's chamber between 1810 and 1859. Securily officers guarded lhe doors to the chamber, and extra chairs
had to be brought in- there weren't a hundred senators back in the 19th century when the chamber ~as in
use.
An allemptto hold the same meeting in the chamber
· collapsed Thursday, afler partisan· rancor broke out
only moments after President Clinton was formally

made a defendant in the first presidential impeachment
trial since the Andrew Johnson case in 1868. The primary .cause of th~ rupture w~ a dispute over the need
for wttnesses, whtch Republicans favor and Democrats
oppose.
. Republicans Qn Thursday had scheduled vote's on their proposed ground
rules and also on a Democratic alternalive. With a SS-4S advantage, lhe GOP
would have won the fighl, but at the
price of setting a partisan lone that
might never be overcome in the proceedings.
Loll pulled back from the brink and
kept negotiating, deciding senators
should "keep calm and cool and dignifled." His move prompted Daschle to
proclaim: "I think lhere is some comman ground.''
.
"We don't wanl the first vote to be a
panisan vote, and it came very close to heing one,"
said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.
Despite such hopeful statements, the two parties
were unable to bridge the gap during the day - especially over the prospect that witnesses such as former
White House intern Monica Lewinsky would testify
about sex in the tradition-bound Senate. .
Ointon is charged under tWo articles of impeachment, both related to his attempts to conceal his extramarital affair Ms. Lewinsky. One article charges the

'

president with perjury before a federal grand jury, the
se&lt;:ond with obstructing justice.
.. Sen. Ted Stevens, an Alaska Republican serving
stnce December 1968, ech~d the thoughts of many
Democratic senators, commenling he had "serious
questions" about calling Ms. Lewinsky to testify about
her sexual escapades with the president at the Wbite
House.
House proseo:utors han failed to allay such concerns, despite expressing a willingness 10 avoid questions to witnesses on explicit -sexual material. ·
At the Wbite House, spokesman Joe Lockhart told
reporters, "We are convinced we can 'make a compelli~g case that will lead the United States Senate not
to remove the president."
He added that the president's lawyers were "ready
to go" and ready to accept Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's evidence in the Lewinsky matter in
exchange for a ban on witnesses. But; he added, if the
House insisted on calling witnesses il would cause a
delay, "because bringing witnesses in and not stipulating to a record opens up a whole area of motions, discovery and depositions. And that takes time."
The charges against Clinton were brought in the
name of the House of Representatives and "of the peo-··
pie of the United States of America." But as every sen-.,
ator was aware as the trial opened, the articles were
approved by a House that voted along mostly partisan
lines.
·
"We are now jurors," Stevens said. "We don't want
•

chaos."
'
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said, "We've had a coupie of rough moments," bul he nonetheless saw a will·
ingness "to come together."
While the senators insisted it was solely their prerogative to run the trial, Loll and Sen. Rick Santorum,
R-Pa., nonetheless met for several hours Thursday
evening with the House prosecution team.
"II was a good discussion on some of the options," ·
said Paul McNulty, a spokesman for lhe House Judiciary Committee. "The senators listened to us."
Lead prosecutor Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., and other
Republicans have prepared a list of potential ,witnesses,
including Ms. Lewinsky, presidential friend Vernon
Jordan and Clinton secrelary Betty Currie.
A plan Republicans crafted Thursday~ould give
first the House and then the White House up to 24
hours each- three eight-hour days, for example- to
present evidence, after which senators would have 16
hours for questions to lawyers. A-fter that, the Democrats would be permilted to seek the e,djournment of the
trial, and the House or White House would be free to
seek permission to call wilnesses. Each side would
have to justify any witness they planned to call.
A final vote would occur early in February.
Democrats responded with a timetable that called
for the trial to end on Jan. 26, without the possibility of
witnesses.
It takes a two-thirds vote to convict a president and
remove him.

"Where's the salt? Where's the trucks and where's the man power?"
Mark Shafer asked as he cleared more than a foot of snow•and slush from

Even the mayor agreed.

"I'm not· satisfied," Mayor Carty Finkheiner said Thursday. He

Telephone hot lines set up by cities have been swamped with people

C.0 m.bat •. n'g teen
.preg nanCy .1n 0 h •. 0
By u.s. Rep. Ted Strickland
Last year, a Warren County high school student came to Washington to
speak with me about teen pregnancy. 1 was impressed by her intelligence,
her honorable ambitions (she plans to go to medical school), and her know I·
edgeable and justified concern about America's high teen pregnancy rate
Some might be surprised that a young person would
be so concerned about this issue that they would travel
to Washington to talk to their Congressman about it.
But teenagers are smarter than we sometimes give them
credit for, especially when it comes to an issue that,
more and more, they are facing in their daily lives.
The truth is, they know just how dramatically a preg·
nancy can change a teenager's life While most kids have
the freedom to enjoy school, music and sports, teen par·
ents have all the burdens and constraints of adult
responsibility prematurely thrust upon them. And
though it's true that young women's .J!ves are often impacted the most by
becoming mothers, teen fathers have an equal moral obligation to fulfill the
responsibility of parenthood.
·

Just a quick look at the following statistics will illustrate why so many are
concerned about this issue:
• Teen mothers are more likely 10 end up on welfare than mothers in
their twenties.
• Due to low birth weight, the infant mortality of children born to teen
mothers is almost double that of children of older mothers.
, Children of teen mothers suffer from more health problems than
children of older mothers. ·
Children of teen mothers are more likely to suffer from behavior
problems and are more likely to score lower on intelligence tests.
Girls born to teen mothers are much more likely 10 become pregnant
as teenagers.
• And, finally, children born to teen mothers are more likely to be poor
than other children.
The problem is particularly intense here in southern Ohio. In 1994,
eleven aut of the fourteen counties in the Sixth Congressional District had

Three centuries in play

:T hompson to leave Georgetown men's bas~etball post ·
By JOSEPH WHITE '
. • WASHINGTON (AP)- At pre·season practices in November, John
Thompson bubbled with the enthusi.asm of a fi.rst-year coach, telling any- ·

Georgetown was just' one season
away from a return to grearn,es§. .

Thompson, whose tough-love ·

athletics turned Georgetown into a

planned to announce his resignation
today, according to the father of. one
of his recruits.
·
· The university called a "major"
news conference for 10 a.m. EST.

Bill Shapland. spokesman for the
men 's basketball team, wouldn't
release any details, but Charles.
Freeman, father of recruit CoUrtland
Freeman, said Thompson called on
Thursday to say he was resigning.
"He just decided he was going to
step down from the coachi.ng position,'' Charles Freeman said. "l think
he was going to be in the bead office.
He wasn't leaving the sc~ool."
.Freeman said Tho'!'pson told hil"
he was stepping down for "personal

elaborate. Freeman said Craig

Thompson for ,the last 16 years,
would take over as coach. ·

is poised to make millions of dollars
as a potential No, 1 pick in the NFL
draft.
'
The expansion Cleveland Browns
hold the first pick. and team president Carmen Policy has said he
would' take a "franchise quarterback" with the pick if one is available. Many scouts believe Couch with his 6-foot-5, 225-pound size,
accuracy, touch and experience in
Kentucky's pro-style passing offense
- fits that description.
Friday is the deadline for underclassmen to declare for April's draft,
and Couch was just one of several
top players set to leave school early.
De~laring for the draft Wednesday
were this season's Outland Trophy
winner, UCLA tackle Kris Farris,
West V1rginia tailback Amos
Zereoue and Ohio State wide receiver David Boston.
Running back Shaun Alexander,

Alabama's
leading
rusher,
announced that he would pass on the
draft and remain in school.
Couch struggled as a freshman at
Kentucky in then-coach Bill Curry 's
conservative offense. then biossomed under Mumme and his "Air
Raid" offense, throwing for 73
touchdowns and more than 8,500
yards the last two seasons.
In 1998, he threw .for 4,275 yards
and 36 touchdowns, leading the
·Wildcats (7-5) to their first sevenwin season since 1984. He finished
fourth in the balloting for the
Heisman Trophy.
Couch insisted during the season
that he had not yet made up his mind
whether to go to the NFL or return to
Lexington for his senior year. After
Kentucky's · 26-14 Outback Bowl
loss, he said he was "50-50" on
whether to turn pro or stay in school.
Farris, the UCLA standout honored as the nation's top inter!or line-

man, said he took about six months
. to decide to leave early.
"I am confident this is the best
decision for me at this time,'( Farris,
a 6-foot-9, 315-pound junior, said.
"The Outland Trophy really helped
my decision, I'm not going to lie
about it. Injury wasn't really a big
concern. I just fell like this was the
best time to leave."
Farris said a significant factor in
his decision was the fact that since he
sat out his freshman year, many players in his class, including quarterback Cade McNown, have completed their eligibility.
'
" These have been the best years
of my life," Farris said. "I don't feel
like I belong here anymore. It's time
to move on."
Zereoue said he decided to
declare after consulting with his family. He is West Virginia's career rush, ing leader with 4,086 yards and the
Big East's top career rusher with

3,907 yards, not including bowl
games.
" We will be pulling for him on
the next level," coach Don Nehlen
said. " Amos is a great back and he's
done a great job for us over the past
. three years. We won't forget him. All
we have to do is. open our record
book and Amos is everywhere."

Stern declares NBA exhibition g.ames free, $10 sea,ts for next year
: By CHRIS SHERIDAN
,
NEW YORK (AP) - It is time
for ·the NBA to undo some of the
damage , and the league wasted no
time getting started.
.
Making the first moves toward
. appeasing fans, commissioner David
, Stern announced that there wtll be
: free exhibition games this season and
: $10 seats at all games next season.
"It has to be more than just a slo· gan," Atlanta. HawkS president Stan
Kasten said. "Hopefully by next sea. son we can get the fans back."
i: One day after the lockout was set-itled, Thursday was a day for the
:owners to have the deal explain&lt;¥! to
:tperu, for the·pJayers to begin prepar-

ing. for the season and for the league
Each team will play two exhibias a whole to reach out to the apa- tion games ·- one home and ·one

away- and admission will be free .
The NBA Board of Governors Preseason scrimmages also will be
approved the settlement 29-0, and open to the public.
Stem said the league hopes to start

the season Feb. '5, with each team Pollin, who took an active part in the
playing 50 games.
·
negotiations as the league's senior
"We have some winning back of owner, said tougher drug policy and
fans to do, and we're going to do it," player conduct clauses in the new
Stern said at a news conference deal were "at least as important" to
where he was joined by, union direc- him
the more publicized issue of
tor Billy Hunter and deputy i:ommis- how to split billions among players
sioner Russ Granik. "Most important and .owners.
to us is that basketball,games•Will be . • : "!•think ~ou l ll , find· that the playupon \is again, and as a basketball ers have changed.': said the 75' yearfan and particularly a fan of the old owner, . who bought the tpenNBA,l am etateq."
Baltimore Bullets in l964. "I think

as

players will realize that fans are the
ones who pay their salaries and
therefore are the people we (1ave to
look to. I told them, you may or may
not want to be role models, but you
are role models."
The· six-month lockout .ended
early Wednesday following an allnight bargaining session between
Stern and Hunter. An agreement was
reached just one day before the
Board of Governors would have
voted whether to cancel what was
left of the 1998-99 season.
The league, meantime, lifted' its
gag order on coaches, general managers and owpers, all of whom were
eager to get back to the business of

playing ball . ·
,
"It's just the beginning stages of
being able to start to do the work that
all of us enjoy," Spurs coach G~egg
Popovich said. "Obviously, we're
happy about the lockout being over.
Happy is an understatement." .
Players can start using team facilities beginning Monday, although
coaches will be prohibited from
working with them until tbe lockout
is officially over. Anlt that won't
'happen until the agreement is put
into writing and signed by both sides
- a1process that should take ,a Week
to 10 days.
·Jh , .
"I'm shoc)(ed th,ey!think tbey can
get it done in 10 days;" said Kasten,

noting that lawyers have a tendency
to bring the process to a halt once
they start fighting over con,tract Ianguage.
·
On this day, however, even the
opposing attorneys mingled and
joked ;.vith each other, joining in on
the collective sense of relief at hav· ing a settlement at last.
.
'Hunter talked about repairing the
partrt~rship between the opposmg
sides.
'
·~We're glad this is qver,'' he said.
"Our players ate anxious to plajl, and
.. we're anxiou·s to join hands with
David, Russ and the owners of the 29

Detroit's image takes another beating in wa·k e of storm·
By DAVID GOODMAN

A..ocii!Wd Preas Writer

,

DETROIT- With hundreds of miles of streets clogged with snow and
180,000 children forced to miss yet another day of school, Motown was still
a mess six days after the Blizzard of '99.
Aqd to that hundreds of reporter$ in town to cover the North American
International Auto Show and today's scheduled visit by President Clinton,
and the city's image- as well as its residents- were taking a hit.
"It's like we have the same mayor in Bucharest and Detroit," said Edouard
Darvaviu, a Romanian television reporter covering the auto show who likened
the snow-clogged chaos to conditions in his impoverished homeland: .
Mayor Dennis Archer defended himself Thursday against charges he
dropped the ball when a foot of snow began falling Saturday on this city of
1 million.
"1 regret· that people are. inconvenienced," he said.· "I believe they will
see that ... we can tum it around."
·
Much of that snvw remains piled on city streets. Unlike in other major
cities,- Detrpit does not plow residential ,streets and cold temperatures and
overcast skies·oove kept the snow from melting.
"It's terrible, " said 61 -year-old Juanita Wright. "If you're going north and

some&lt;lne's going south, you panic ... You don't dare get out of the rut you're
in, and neither do they."
·
·
Critics say the city was unprepared and responded slowly once the snow
started falling.
"This ain't California, this is Michigan," said City Council member Kenneth Cockrel Jr. "There was a certain amount of complacency. They just did·
n't lake lhe warnings seriously."
Cornerica Bank economist William T. Wilson said a conservative estimate
of business losses due to the snow would he S 10 million.
'
"The snow definitely highlights the city's deficiencies," he said.
"There's no reason why a winter storm should shut down your public schools
and disrupt commerce six days after the storm hit." .
Many travelers are still fuming over the time inook Detroit Metropolitan Airport and its dominant air carrier, Northwest Airlines, to restore,regu\ lar service.
.
·
,
, . Thousands slept at the suburban atrport Monday and Tuesday, and some
incoming passengers said they spent up to' eight hours w;Uting to deplane
bec.~us~ of a shortage of ground crews.
.
, .
' Thts place gets 13 tnches of snow and shuts down for three days, satd
Northwest passenger Chuck Hilbert .. "There's no excuse for thal. None."

Detroit isn't the only city still struggling to cope with lhe snow.
More than half of Chicago's 433,000 public school students were absent.
Thursday, and school buses remained out of service. The cfty's rail and bus
transit systems were running slow, and many streets were barely passable. ; '
But at least Chicago's scbools were open- Detroit's weren't to reopen_
until today. And Chicago got 20 inches of snow to Detroit's 12.
Chicago bui:lgets about $12 million each year for snow and ice reinovat
and employs about 700 trucks to scrape the nearly 3,800 miles of roads il!
the city, said John C8mper, spokesman for Mayor Richard Daley.
Detroit, by contrast, has a $1.5 million snow-removal budget - no larg-.
er than that of smaller, warmer Baltimore.
.
Archer on Thursday declared a s~ow.emergency ancj told residents to move;
!heir cars off streets where snowplows were working; if they don't, they ris!c
having the Cars ticketed and towed.
Detroit would like to be known as the "Renaissance City," and 'Arche~
WOI!Id like to he known as a can-do mayor. But visitors and residents aliki:
say the storm revealed the distance between lhe slogans and reality.
·
"Up to now I have been impressed," &lt;;:hicago autowriter James Aamman~
said of the progress Archer has made since tatting office five years ago. "No~

WASHINGTON During
contentious questioning of the government's final witness in the
Microsoft antitrust case, an econ~
omist warned of living "in a
Microsoft world" unless the judge
intervenes to restrain the software
giant.
Microsoft battled wilh lhe economist over the company's promise
to make its Internet software ''forever free." Its lawyer even offered
to pause Thursday so lhe witness
- economist Franklin Fisher of
the Massachusetts Institute of
·Technology . - could control his
blood pressure.
The most contentious moments
came during questions about
Microsoft bundling its browser
free into newer versions of Windows to undercut rival Netscape.
"If Henry Ford had a monopoly,
we ' d all be driving black cars,"
_fisher said, hi s voice rising.
"That's not what competition is
about. That's not what helping coh·

sumers is about."
"Now you seem agitated, sir,"
MicrosofC lawyer Michael Lacovara responded . .
" I am agitated . I feel very
strongly about this," Fisher said.
"We're going to live in a Microsoft
·world. It mi~ht he a nice world, but
it's not a competitive world:."
Lacovara offered to take a short
break, but Fisher said his -blood
pressure was not cause for concern.
At another point, Fish.er paused
after Lacovara asked about his pre·
vious testimony that Microsoft
"studied and tried to implement
ways to disable Netscape and
reduce total browser sales." .
Lacovara beg~ to speak again
when Fisher replied: . "I'm just
dumbfounded by the question. It's
not that I can't answer it."
Fisher then recounted govern·
ment allegations that Microsoft
bundled its own browser into Windows, promised the browser would
rem;tin free and used its influence
·to discourage others from distril&gt;uting Netscape's browser.
Under federal antitrust law, a
claim of predatory pricing includes
the expectation that Microsoft
eventually would raise its prices
once it dominated the market.
In earlier testimony, Fisher told
the judge that Microsoft spent
" hundreds of millions of dollars"
to develop its br.owser and set its
pricing ·"for the expli~it purpose of
depriving rivals of revenues needed to be viable."
Microsoft .maintains that it never planned to eO{Tl money selling its
browser, but did plan to profit from
advertising fees. The company 's

MEXICO CITY - Four years
after its banking system nearly collapsed due to lax supervision, fraud
and mismanagement, Mexico h.S
r~newed efforts to force several fugi·
live bankers to face prosecution. But
analysts say the efforts don't go far
enough.
Mexican pros·ecutors have suffered several embarrassments in trying bank fraud case.s: Bankers have
fled to foreign countries just hours
before arrest warrants were issued for
them, and oncll_ caught have walked
free on bail, arguing lhat their alleged
wrongdoing is not considered a major
crime under Mexican law.
"The big problem is not the
efforts to arrest these people," said
Jonathan Heath, . an independent
economist. "It's whether they can be
prosecuted once they have been
arrested and brought back."
The fugitive bankers appear to be
using the fortunes they amassed to
mount sophisticated legal defenses
against charges that range from making loans to .themselves to stealing
money from front companies.
Mexico filed a formal request to
Australia on Thursday, . seeking the
extradition of fugitive banker Carlos
Cabal Peniche. But his lawyers said
today in Sydney that they will fight
the request, arguing that the charges

after being arrested in Spain in 1996,
accused of ' lending' himself hundreds of millions of dollars.
On a court date fast year,
Rodriguez used a phalanx of lawyers
to screen him from police waving an
arrest warrant for fraud and tax evasion charges. He sl ipped into the
"sanctuary" of a courtroom , where
he stayed until a judge ruled he could
remain free on bail.
Heath compared Mexico's banking crisis to the U.S. savings and loan
scandal in the 1980s.
"In the savings and loan scandal,
penal action was taken ·against some

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Bou.lder County commissioners have
endorsed the work of the grand jury investigating the JonBenet Ramsey murder, authorizing nearly $80,000 more for its work.
·
The money was requested to fund the grand jury's work through March.
" I think we're pretty well committed as a community to doing everything
we can to solve the crime if it can be solved," Commissioner Paul Danish
said Thursday.
Prosecutor Bill Wise said he will be back to ask for more money if the
work isn't completed by the end of March.
JonBenet was found beaten and strangled Dec. 26, 1996, in the basement
of her family's home in Boulder.
No arrests have been made.
Police say her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, remain under suspicion.
The Ramseys, who have maintained their innocence, haven't yet been called
by the grand .jury, which began its work in mid-September.
Boulder County, which funds the district attorney's office, approved the
new money despite a bill for the case that already had reached nearly
'$390,000. It is the most ever spent by the office on an investigation.
City police already have spent mor~ than $1 million on their probe.

Years after bank crisis, Mexico still hunts fugitives
are politically motivated.
Cabal Peniche was arrested tn
Melbourne on Nov. II over an
alleged $700 million in bank fraud
involving his banking group, Grupe
Financiero Cremi-Union, which collapsed in 1994. He fled Mexico
hours ahead of arrest warrants.
Meanwhile, paying off the bad
loans left after the 1995 banking ·crisis- sparked by a peso devaluation
that sent interest rates soaring past
100 percent- will cost Mexican taxpayers about $67 billion under a bank
bailout plan approved last year.
The average Mexican earns about
$8.50 per day.
· "'
·
Debate over the bailout dragged
. on for ten months and led to opposi·
tion charges that the administration of
President Emesto Zedillo had failed
to adequately, supervise the banking
industry and prosecute several fugi·
tive bankers.
·
This week, the attorney general's
office announced it had nabbed two
fugitive former bankers in the Unit ·
ed States. One was immediately
deported to Mexico because he was
in the United States illegally, the other is facing extradition proceedings in
a San Diego federal court.
· · But government critics fear these
bankers could be let off as soon as
t~ey're back in Mexico, as happened
last year when ' Angel Isidore
Rodriguez was extradited to Mexico

By Phillip Alder
When you are m a no-trump con·
1ract, che Rule o! Seven may be u'ed
only when you have one lop-tnck
stopper tn che sun led Yet what happens when you have two stoppers?
Well, tf you have :~ce doubleton
oppos1te kmg-doubleton , yo,ur only
dectston wtll be where Co won lnck
one. Yet suppose you could duck tnck
one
The firsl factor ts how many
ttmes you expecl to lose the lead
before rynnmg for home If you have
only one card 10 drtve out, take 1nck
one, eslabhsh your wmners, and
crutse in The tncky dec1smns come
when you have two mtSstng honors
to dtslodge.
Here, after West leads the hear1 stx
and East pu1s m the Jack, tl ts all too
easy co wm wtth the queen Yet wnh
good defense, you should go down
Havmg only e1gh1 top tricks. you
must attack clubs Your best play ts
to lead a spade (or dtamond) to the
dummy, then to call for the club two
Bur an erud1te East w111 fly m wtth the
ace and return hts remammg heart
West's sutt ts established wh1le he
s1tll has lhe club kmg as an entry
card You lose lhree heart and two
club tr1cks
Now go back to tnck one When
East plays the heart Jack , you know
West has the kmg (Woth the kmg and
Jack, East would play the kmg second-hand htgh ) So. 1t you duck, letttng the JUCk wm. you sttll have 1wo
heart stoppers Now you can see the
dttference East returns the heart
etghl at tnck two Yet when East gets
m Wtlh the club ace, he doesn I have
a hear1 left. West later wms a lnck
l"•th the club kmg, bul hts heart sutt

POMEROY - Local, state and federal officials are.
. hopeful the new millennium will result in good tidings
for Meigs County highway projects - notably the
Ravenswood Connector and Athens-to-Darwin projects.
Their optimism stems from promises of funding for
t~e projects, a promise that Congressman Ted Strickland
(D-Lucasville) says will not be broken.
"I think it's going to be a terrific year for highway
projects in Southeastern Ohio," said Strickland, who
l!dded that his remark doesn't necessarily mean dirt will
move this year.

There were reports last month
that suggested Toho was dissatisfied .
with what Hollywood had done to
its creature.
A company spokesman w~ ·
reported in numerous publications
as saying that because the American
Godzilla was "so different from the.
Japanese version" there· was a
"cl.~or" among fans and comp~ny
offtc1als to create · a Godz1lla
"unique to Japan. "
But" this week Toho released a
new statement saying that its official
was misquoted.
"We wish to have two kinds of
Godzillas in the.future, both a Toho
Godzilla and TriStar Godzilla," said
Toho spokesman Masaharu Ina in an
interview. "Both are very important
for us."

On a year-to-year basis, morning

Me-igs radio stations subject of pending sale
ATHENS- Athens County Commissioner
Lenny Eliason hopes to silence critics from his
election campaign last fall with the pending
sale of.two radio stations he cO-owns in Meigs
County.
.
On Dec. 23 an application was filed with the ·
Federal COmmunications Commission in Washingti)n, D.C. seeking the assignment of the
licenses of radio stations WMPO AM and
WMPO FM in Middleport from ET Broadcasting to Positive Radio Group Inc. of Ooio,
according to an article in The Athens Messepger.
Eliason, presiden! of ET Broadcasting and

an owner for the past 10 years, was criticized
during his election campaign for failing to file
~nd pay personal and property income taxes
on the two radio stations for several years.
At the time Eliason said that the stations
were not able to pay the taxes and they were
for sill e.
.
Once the sale ·was complete he said the
taxes would be paid.
If approved by the FCC the purchase price
for the two stations will be $492,000, Eliason
said.
