Returning seniors find classroom interesting·

SYLVANIA - Standing in his

before beaming relatives, Elliott Gottlieb got nervous.
He had' never doni: anything like

of the audience it all seemed to flow:
The story of watching all three of his
children graduate from college and
the embarrassment he felt from dropping out of high school nearly 60
years ago.
"I have regretted it ever since," he
said.
The 76-year-old who turned a
small Toledo furniture shop into a
bustling business was proud to say he
achieved his goal - he received his

Retired
chaplain
joins fleet
By GEORGE W. HACKETT
Associated Press Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Retiring
after 22 years as an Army chaplain,
James Wilkinson joked with
friends that he 'd accepted a new
assignment that "requires me to
walk on water."
He's now a towboat chaplain,
setting up a network of ministries
along 1,000 miles of two riversthe Ohio and the Mississippi.
·"We are recruiting volunteers in
10 cities to visit the boats and also
be available for whatever help the
families of these mariners may
need," said Wilkinson, whose
oftice will be in Louisville .
He is an Episcopal priest, but
the program , which he started
Sept. 8, will be npn-denominational, with financial support coming from the Seamen's Church
Institute of New York and New Jersey. Based in Manhattan, the institute was.founded in 1834 to serve
the spiritual needs of mariners.
"River mariners are a unique
group ,'often under a lot of stress,"
he said. "The towboat stops only
to negotiate a lock or allow safe
passage of another vesse l. lt can

on-site chaplains."
There 'will be clergymen or lay-

over 60. "They have an opportunity
that was never there before."
There are more than I00 of these
"new" students at Toledo. They areenrolled in music, art, history and
computer science. Some are quite
serious about their studies. Others
simply enjoy 'being around younger
students who s~e them as living history books.
"They get to talk to people who
"aren't talking about which 'leg is
aching today," Kat zan said. "They
can be a part of life rather than watching it disappear."
It's not just all classes and homework for these senior students.
They write plays, volunteer at
inner city schools reading to children
and si ng in the school chorus. One
man played tuba in Toledo's marching band a few years back.

COLUMBUS -When Republicans took over Congress.and legislatures across the country in 1994, party leaders proclaimed a vietory for the
new conservatives: young, energetic
and devoted to their principles.
One beneficiary of that change
was bemused. State Rep. William
Batchelder of Medina had been part
of a Republican Revolution too, three
'decatles earlier.
That change grew out of the 1964
defeat of Republican Barry Goldwater by Dembcralic President Lyndon
Johnson. In Ohio, the GOP roared
back in 1966, re-electing Gov. James
Rhodes and winning solid majorities
in both houses of the l-egislature.
And a skinny, 24-year-old lawyer
named Bill Batchelder was on his
way to Columbus.
"Goldwater opened the door and
maybe took off the hinges,"
Batcheldersaid of the birth of his par-

Batchelder's from Wooster, quoted
Batchelder as once saying: "Some
people collect stamps. Some people
restore cars . !,just like to read the
·code of financial institutions."
In 1972, the Democrats took over
and the Republicans began their long
~!retch in the minority. For 20 years,
.the House was in the iron grasp of the
man simply called "Mr. Speaker"Vern Riffe of Wheelersburg.
Riffe's way of doing business was
to gather a consensus, give a little
something to the Republicans, then
shut down the debate.
Batchelder didn't like what he
saw, especially the role played by
Minority Leader Corwin Nixon of
L~banon. He felt so left out of the
process that he once wore a dog muzzle on the House floor.
" He (Nixon) and Riffe were very
close friends," Batcl)elder said. "It
was difficult for people who wanted
to reverse the role of government to
get that done."
·Ni xon defended his relationship
with Riffe. He said their philosophy
was to put the public good before politics.. He said he liked Batchelder personally but had little use for his

"These people wi ll board the

available in case an emergency
develops." Wilkinson said. "They
also will be the mariner's contact
on shore to communicate with his
family."
Being away from home for
long periods can disrupt
mariner's normal family life, the
chaplain said. The m.en are on duty
for 30 days and are off 30 days to
be with their families,
" We hope to deepen their
church participation when they're
home," he said.
Wilkinson already has recruited
10 volunteers and is hoping to line
up 20 more to serve the about
1,000 boats using the rivers.
Making the transition from
Army chaplain to coordinator of
the river ministry wasn't too difficult, Wilkinson said.
"I counseled small groups iii
the military and I' II be doing the
same thing on river boats."
Wilkinson, a 54-year-old native
of St. Louis, received his .undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri then attended Virginia Theological Semmary. He
was ordained a priest in June 1969
at St. Luke 's Church in the
Louisville suburb of Anchorage.

=.. Patrol urges public input to
continue highway safety·strides
Submitted by Lt. Rlchlrd E. Grau
Always wear your safety belt. Obey all motor vehtcle laws Don't dnnk
. and drive. You have probably heard those things so many limes you don't
_.wan£ to be told again.
So why do those of us in law enforcement and pubhc safety keep repeating these points? Because over half the people killed in motor vehtcle crash' es in Ohio are not wearing the safety belt available to them at the lime of the
.crash
Because excessive speed is the leadmg causative factor for fatal crashes
, ·in Ohio. Because over one-third of the fatal crashes in the United States
involve alcohol.
. Staymg safe whtle in a motor vehtcle is st mple if you just adhere to a few
baste measures. Increased safety belt usage, decreased speeds, and elimi.nating impatred dnvmg are the keys to savmg lives on our roads.
There are some that still believe traffic deaths are ~npreventable acct. ,qents That ts stmply not the case We know how to reduce tragedy on our
. roads but we need your parttctpatton m thts literal ltfe and death effort.
'
Htghway safety stndes are betng made, however, and Ohio roads are
,becommg safer Umque imllallves hke the Patrol's Partners for Safety effort
; are startmg to pay divtdends The commttment to safety forged in 1998
, :between the Patrol, pnvate corporations, and the ctttzens of Ohio demon~trates that mcreased safety on the roadways can be achteved through cooperative p.artne~htps.
' For example, rural traffic fatahttes account for most of Ohto's traffic
deaths each year These rural traffic fatahttes m Ohto mcreased dunng 1997,
· · reversing a three-year trend that saw fatalities decreased on Ohto roadways
Although a smgle traffic-related death ts one too many, through the ftrst 11
months of 1998 rural fatslities in Ohto were down over four percent as compared to the stmtlar ltme period dunng 1997.
The successful nature of the Partners for Safety public education efforts
'.contributed to this highway safety achtevement.
As we enter a new year, I urge everyone to get involved in the safety
process and take an active role m the ongoing effort to reduce needless
tragedtes on our roadways
Remember, you can call the Htghway Patrol toll-free at 1-800-GRABDUI, and cellular •out to report drunk dnver~ and drivers who contmue to
operate a motor vehtcle despite convtcttons and ltcense suspensions for
tmpatred dnvmg These toll-free teleph~ne numbers are useful tools that
• allow motonsts to help us get dangerous drive~ off the road
: Motonsts are calhng the numbe~ and tmpatred drivers are bemg appre: hended. Through the fil$1 II months of 1998, over 7,200 GRAB-DUI calls
• to Patrol posts led to the apprehensiOn by troopers of some of the 22,682
: motonsts arrested for tmpatred dnvmg
• You can stay safe whtle dnvmg thts wmter by checking travel conditions
• )lround Oh10 through the Patrol's toll-free road and weather conditions hot: ime, 1-888-2-0H-ROAD. Also, remember to call the Patrol toll-free at 1: 877-7-PATROL to report dtsabled vehtcles.
•: Patrol troopers cannot be everywhere at all limes To keep the roads m
•: :Ohio safe, we need your help, and I smcerely hope you wtll accept your
' '!'esponsibility.

Congress keeps sacred three-day workweek
By J1ck A!lderaon
and Jan Moller
Say this for Dennts Hastert
He knows how to wm over hts
colleagues
The new Speaker of the
House of Representatives, a
soft-spoken former htgh school
wrestling coach, has a dauntmg task in front of
him He faces a fractured Republican caucus,
whtch must find common ground wtth an energized Democratic minority lest the 106th Congress face the dreaded "do j!Cthing" label ot tts
tmmedtate predecessor
It dtdn't take long for Hastert to fmd that common ground. If there's one thmg both parlles can
agree on, it's a three-day workweek And Hastert
delivered, qutetly reassunng hts colleagues that
the congresstonal workweek will starl on Tuesdays and end on Thursdays, JUSt as II always has
Maybe you remember Rep. Bob Ltvtngston,
R-La, the speaker-m-wattmg who dramattcally
restgned tn December after pornographer Larry
Flynt spilled the beans about his exlramantal
affat~ We'll never know what kind of speaker he
would have been. But he did float at least one senstble tdea last fall that has now bitten the dust
LiVIngston ruefully noted that last year, for the
ftrst ttme m 25 years, Congress failed to pass a
budget resolutton Congress didn't pass much of
anythmg, prefemng mstead to btcker and campatgn for office As chatrman of the Appropnalions Commtltee, Ltvmgston knew better than
most the hard work that goes into preparing and
passmg a $1 1 tnlh~n budget every yefir So he
came up wtth a herehcaltdea: Why not have Congress work five days a week, like most Amen-

'tans?
He couldn't have caused a bigger slink if he'd
proposed gtvmg Texas back to the Mexicans Ltv·
ingston hadn 't even been elected yet, but soon
there was mutiny tn the ranks Rep. Jack
Kingston, R-Ga., typtcally a loyallieutenan~ circulated a petition demanding an end to such non sense Sixty-five members quickly signed on, and
the battle was j01ned You thmk polltictans get
heated over issues like Social Secunty and tax
reform? lt'~!htng compared to the clamor
when someone'\!nes to take away their letsure
time.
"There's a lot of ammostty towards worktng
hard among membe~ of Congress," says Gary
Ruskin of the Congressional Accountabthly Project "Personally, I have mtxed feehngs. The
more ttme they're tn Washmgton, the more
they're around lobbyists. (But) it would be ntce tf
they dtd more work So tl cuts both ways."
Members of Congress wtll be the first to tell
you that they do work hard Most of them spend
ample time in their 'dtstricts, meeting with constttuents and at~mg local events Members
from dtstant states say they need .extra time to
travel to and from home, to see their wives and
chtldren on the weekends and stay more tn touch
wtth the common folk.
But tt's a spectous argument The congressiOnal calendar ts generously spnnkled wtth extended
breaks. Work doesn't start unttllate January, after
the State of the Union address. After that, they get
lime off for Prestdent's Day, Memonal Day, and a
lengthy August recess. In between are several
"district work periods" for members to go home
and take the pulse of the populace In election
years, the House hkes to wrap thtngs up by e.arly

October, and then htt the road unttl late January
Most Americans would ktll for that kind of work
schedule.
A five-day workweek makes sense from other
pe~pecllves For one thing, 11 mtght help Con·
gress get tts work done more quickly. The last
ltme the House put in a full workweek was dunng
the Contract Wtth Amenca. In 100 days, the,
House debated and passed the 10 planks of the
Contract Membe~ whmed tncessantly about the
grueling hours, but the work got done there's no
law saymg Congress can't complete tts busmess
by, say, mtd-August and take the rest of the year
off
More hkely, members mtght constder that the
task of govermng has grown more complex wtth
the passage of time Congress doesn 'I Just have a
budget to pass. It has overstght responsibthty for
federal agenctes and depart_ments, many of which
don't get noticed until a scandal erupts. A more
vtgtlant Congress can prevent solne o(these forest ftres befor~ they ignite. But that kind of oversight is done in Washmgton, not at Rotsry Oub
meeungs back home
Alas, Denms Hastert has won the hearts of his
Hock by promismg what mell)bers really want·
more business-as-usual Hts first order of business was weakenmg the House gtft ban, wlhch
annoyed members because they could np longer
accept a meal from their favonte lobbytsts. Then
he let them go home on the weekends.
So far, he's been stlent on the issue of a payratse, fearing the mevitable controversy that
would surround such a move But given the
events of the last week, tt's probably just a matter
of ttme.

PRISE ASSN.

WASHINGTON (AP) - On
long-ago evenings, wtth midnight
approachtng and the clock runnmg
out, a whtte-bearded man named
Isaac Bassett walked across the Senate chamber and turned back time.
Ttme was easter to deal w1th deep
tn the 19th century, 12 decades or
more before the mtllenmum bug
threatened to unglue the computertzed world of the newborn mformatton age
All Bassett had to do, after the
vtce president whtspered an order m
hts ear, was chmb atop a chatr and
use a long pole to turn back the
hands of the Senate clock by 20 minutes
That allowed the chamber just
enough extra lime to meet 1ts mtdmght deadline and pass the final
btlls appropnallng money to run the
government

Soviet nuclea~ weapons pointed at China-- Kazakhstan became independent only seven years ago
with no htstory of self-rul.e.
The surrounding tern tory ts a cauldron of violence and instabthty --in the Russian provmce of
Chechnya, between Armenta and Azerbaijan, 1111d
in Turkey, Iraq, Afghamstan and Tajikistan.
Kazakhstan is a majority-Muslim country, but
it has set a secular course, resisting the religious
extremism of Afghamstan and Iran to dodge the
potential "clash of civilizations."
On a visit to the United States in early December, Kazakhstan's foreign 'minister spoke to the
Conference of President's Major Jewish Organtzations tn America and deltvered the astounding
message that Kazakhstan had once received ••
and rejected -- a radical Arab leader's wntten
request for leftover Soviet nuclear weapons.
Kazakhstan inherited the world's fourth
biggest nuclear a~enal when the Soviet Union
collapsed, but dectded to give up the weapons to
Russia
Kazakhstan should be fabulously nch when
the price of oil rises and when pipehnes arc butlt
to carry tts oil and natural gas to the consuming
world.
Right now, though, its population is overwhelmingjY poor. The U.S. Stste Department and

Ohio steel industry faces
hurdles in Congress
:
By ANICK JESDANUN
Associated Preas Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Dtsappointed at Prestdent Chnton 's
refusal to take stronger action to•
block cheap steel imports, the president of the largest steelworkers
union says he'll look for help 10
Congress.
Lawmakers from steel-producmg
states tncludmg Oh10 stand ready to
aid a union that contnbuted more
than $1 m1lhon to congressional
campaigns s10ce 1997. But even the
most ardent supporters acknowledge
that success wtll be difficult and
may come too late to be useful.
Mindful of the growmg polillcal
pressure, Commerce Secretary
William Daley and U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky
held what both described as blunt
talks today with Japanese Trade
Mmister Kaoru Yosano. The U S.
off1ctals emphasize that the admtmstrahon wtll not hesttate on tis threat
to tmpose quotas on Japanese steel
exports mto the Umted States unless
those shtpments show a qutck
decline lhts year following a surge
of more than 400 percent in 1998.
Describing the talks as "very
frank and qutle blunt,'' Barshefsky
told reporters afterward, "It is no
secret that trade tenstons between
the Umted States and Japan are
increasing qmte dramatically."
Yosano told reporters at a separate brtefing that he repeated forecasts by Japanese steel compames
that based on market condittons they
expect thetr shipments to the Umted
States this year to drop back to the
levels m ex1stence before the Astan
cnsis h1l
However, he stressed that dtd not
conslltute a comrtntment on the part
of the government of Japan to pressure' tis domesttc mdustry.
Paul Marcone, chtef of staff to
Rep. Jtm Traficant, D-Oh1o, satd
members of the House steel caucus

are constdering ways to'he up House
proceed10gs until a vote on steel legislation ts allowed.
He satd that although such a measure faces a veto by Clinton, • it
would at least serve to pressure
administratton offictals, particularly
Vice President AI Gore, as the 2000
presidential campaign approaches.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virgmta, the Democratic chatrrnan 'of
the Senate steel caucus, said lawmakers from the 16 states that produce steel are not numerous enough
to overcome a propenstly toward
free-trade pohcies.
"You have to assume that any
getting-tougher-on-trade legtslation
in the Repubhcan Congress is going
to have a hard time," satd Rockefeller, who had considered the Wlitte
House his last bast ton of hope.
On Thursday, Clmton released
hts plan for combating the tide ' of
steel tmports mto the Umted Stales
m the wake of the As1an economtc
criSIS. Domeshc steel producers and
umon leaders tmmedtalely dended
the plan as madequate to avert adthIlona! plant closures ;md layoffs.
Industry officials say the surge tn
imports, which reached record levels
in 1998, hils already resulted m at
least 10,000 layoffs and a handful of
company bankruptcies.

fly balls long after his skalls faded
was a powerful lesson
There were several other factors
that may have weaghed on his decision Jordan feuded wnh general
manager Jerry Krause for years ang,
at the end of the last season, when
Phil Jackson saad he wouldn't return,
Jordan satd he wouldn't play for
another coach
Dunng the summer, the Bulls
bared former Iowa State coach Tam
Floyd and mtroduced ham at a news
conference as the team 's vice president for basketball operations But
Floyd, a longume favonte of Krause,
was widely thought to be the coachm-waatmg, and has hmng may have
further aggravated Jordan's relataonshap wath the team
For whatever reason , h1s dectsaon
to retare leaves the NBA m the lurch
Commg off a divas1ve labor fight that
lefr fan s more apatheuc than angry,
Jordan was the one drawmg card that
could have helped the league regam
ats populanty
He refused to be labeled the
league's caretaker, but when he came
back the first lime, Jordan sa1d It was
panty because he wanted to teach
some of the younger players how to
comport themselves - both on the
court and off
"If he's fimshed, we're the 'ones
who are at a loss , the fans who
enJoyed h1m and the players who
played wllh ham and agamst ham,"
Suns owner Jerry Colangelo sa1d
"I do beheve the game as very

resahent. Havang been m the league
for 32 years, I've seen us at dafferenl
cycles, up and down I've seen a
concern about who as gomg to
replace stars at that tame Thank
goodness there have been new players to take the places of the great
stars of the past "
But,
Colangelo
added,
" Recognize that he as by h1m self
when you talk about great staa:s, but
somewhere beyond the NBA today
there will be some players to come
who wall be great players "
Whether there wall be another
with Jordan 's worldwade appeal,
though, remaans to be seen After
Magac Johnson and Larry Bard
helped hft pro basketball's profile m
the early 1980s, Jordan took 11 to the
next level almost smgle-handedly
~e also took the game 'tself
above the ram, mspmng the generation of players who followed ham to
devise more and more spectacular
moves. Every mght of the NBA season y1elded a bonanza of ha ghhghtreel chps and when they were packaged on sports program s, the
league's populanty soared along
with the players
Jordan also pulled players salanes
mto the stratosphere as well He
made more than $30 malhon m each
of the last two seasons and players
hke Shaqualle O'Neal and Kevan
Garnett rode h1 s coattail s to secure
$100 milhon deals
Last June, Fortune magazme
tmaled what 11 called "The Jordan

Effect," putung his impact on the
economy, smce JOmmg the NBA in ••
1984, at SIO balhon It calculated he • ·'
sold an exrra $1 (i5 malhon in tickets
for the league, and deh vered an extra .,
$366 malhon m revenue, mostly m
added TV money and the sale of
merchandase such as Jerseys, hats .~.
..-:
and posters.
N1lce, among the most promment
of the dozen or so compames who
hued h1m as an endorser, has sold
more than $2 6 b1lhon m Jordanrelated products At the start of has
career, the Bulls averaged only 6,365
fans per game In has thtrd season,
the team began a strang of sellouts
that reached 542 consecuta ve games

The San Frarrctsco Chrmucle
reported today that rhe 49ers had all

new stadtum because cost eslllnates
have pushed the pnce above $525
malhon, at least $200 mtlhon over
the onganal proJectaon
When the cost of bualdmg an
adJomang mall as factored 111, the
total cost of the onganal proJect
could approach $800 malhon
The 49ers demed the deal 1s dead,
but at could very well be m deep

"It maght be on a pause button or

Incredibly, no comprehensive

With the holidays so recently behind us,
you may have had trouble getting your children to write thank-you notes -to grandparents, aunts, uncles or other
distant relatives. What can you do to make it seem less of a chore
and more an expression of appreciation?
First, have a positive attitude about thank-you notes. Let ~our
child know how special it will make the recipients feel when they
receive a letter from them acknowledgmg how their gift was cherished.
Then, provide colored paper, pencils, markers, stickers, rubber
stamps, crayons, etc. for writing the thank-you notes. Let the children be creative and have fun when making the notes.
Don 't pressure your children 10 write thank-you noies when they
are hungry, tired, or are in the middle of another activity. Choose a
time when you can work together on them. Ask them what they
would like to say. You may have to write out the words on another
piece of'paper for the smaller children. Realize that even though the
writing or the sentence structure may not be the best, what is important is for the children to do the writing and that the sentiments come
from their hearts.
.
As the children )!row older, encoura)!e them to write the notes on
their own at_ld in a timely manner. Even if a thank-you card is purchased, a smcere personal note should be included. Specifically
mention the gift and how it is going to be used. A picture of the child
playing with the toy or dressed in the outfit can allow the giver to
see the pleasure that the gift has provided,
·
•
If the gift is one that will not be used, teach your child that it is
still the thought that counts. A thank-you note sincerely expressing
the child's appreciation for the thought, time and energy that went
into selecting the gift should be written .
Parents should also encourage their children to write thank-you
notes to community organizations and companies that sponsor
,awards, scholarships and youth activities in which the child -has been
·a participant. The thank-you ·notes will show the appreciation that
ch1ldrerl have for tliese worthwhile projects. These notes may well
be th~ reason that the sponsorship continues.
•
Be a good example to your .children by writing thank-you note s
for g1fts that you rece1ve. Ch•ldren learn to be courteous to gift
gtvers when they see their parents acting the same way.

By MICHAEL FLEEMAN
AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - He was
a music star who became a TV star
· who became a movie star. Now he's
a music star again.
Will Smith's return to hip hop,
': Big Willie Style,".earned him three
American Music Award trophies
Monday night, to go along with his
two I?98 MTV awards and aGrammy nomination.
"I'm just glad people are accepting me again making the music,"
said Smith, who won favorite
pop/rock album as well as favorite
male artist and best album in the
soul/rhythm and blues category.
The former star of TV's "Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air" has a soaring
film career as welL He recently finished shooting the big-screen version of "The Wild Wild West," this
summer's Founh of July release,
and currently appears in the hit
"Enemy of the State."
The movie business made its
presence clear with two other win·
ners at the 26th American Music
Awards', selected by a national sam·
pte of about 20,000 music listeners.
Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion,
who sang the ubiquitous love ballad
from "Titanic," won awands for
favorite adult contemporary artist
and for female pop/rock artist, and
composer James Horner won for the
"Titanic" soundtrack.
· Both suggested they were
becoming weary of the "Titanic"
hype.
"It's flattering, but I'm ready to
move on," Horner said backstage.

"I need a break now," said Dion,
who plans to perform through the
end of the year, then lake a rest.
Asked backstage what she'll do
away from music, she patted her
stomach and said: "Maybe work on
a lillie baby."
Showing the American Music
Awards' tendency to favor tried-andtrue performers, country singer
Garth Brooks won three to bring his
lifetime total to 13; Janet Jackson
won the ninth of her career; Aerosmith won its fifth; and Pearl Jam
also got its fifth.
·
But nothing could top the country
group Alabama, whiCh won a recond
21st award. ''This never gets old,"
drummer Mark Herndon said.
Eric Clapton, Lauryn Hill, Aerosmith, 'N Sync, Master P, K-Ci &amp;

Lit~rary Club hears
review of "Golden. Urchin"
.

. The outback of Australia was the
selling for "Golden Urchin" which
was reviewed for the Middleport
Literary·Club by Mrs. Roy Holter a(
a recent meeting.
.
It is a story full of adventure
about a kidnapped baby girl who·
was saved and raised by the aborigines in the primitive conditions of
the outback, said Holler.
The reviewer told the story of the
child Mitji who was considered a
freak because of her pale skin and
red hair. Mitji was cared for but not
allowe~ to play with the other girls
so grew up learning to use weapons
and hunt with the boys. She also
grew up learning the mystical teachings of the aborigines and the ski lls
she learned gave he~ the courage and
ability to ·survive when she had to
, face the trials of Civilization .
At the age of 15 Mitji left the
tribe
and Holter !Old how she met
.
and helped a white man who then
was able to help her. He and hi s wife
became her foster family and lovingly introduced her to the ways Of
white civilization.
Holter went on to relate many
adventures and intriguing twists in
the plot before friends and enemies
were straightened o ut and the happy
ending was reached.

She commented that the author
Madeline Brent had written several
novels all similar in theme, but dif-.
ferent enough in localities and characters to keep the readers fascinated.
She also noted that Brent was the
pen name of a man, Peter O'Donnell, known to his fans as the comic
strip writer of "Modesty Blaise", a
female James Bon1a·"·. _,..
President Jeanne Bowen presided

Ida Diehl also ·continuing in their
offices. Gay Perrin will be the new
secretary.
Twelve members responded to
roll ca ll with facts about Australia as

very interesting reminiscences about
the trip she ·and her hu sband had
made to Australia with visits to the
outback and to New Zealand.
Hostess Betsy Parsons served
sweets at the end of the meeting.

further it~ mission and foster a rich
appreciation for the arts, a renewed
commitment to civic involvement,
and a vital tourist industry for Southeastern Ohio.

By Phillip Alder
Ed Howe, an American journalist
and novehst, pornted out that " no
man would hsten to you talk if he
drdn't know it was hrs tum ne•t."
In Ieday's deal, you are in sr.
spades. West leads the diamond
queen After winning with the ace,
you play a spade to dummy's king,
and retum a trump to your ace, but
Westannoyrngly drscards a low club
Whrch way do you tum ne•t?
North's response of three no·
trump was an arttfictal forcrng maJorsutt rarse (which makes an ideal compamon to the hmu raise from one to
three of the maJor). It showed at least
13 primarily high-card, not distribu·
tiona!, points, and four-plus trumps.
You must get nd of your two diamond losers before East can ruff rn
wrth hrs trump wrnner and cash the
dramond king. VVrth only three clubs
between the two hands, it looks
obvrous to start there. You cash the
club king, overtake the queen wrth
dummy's ace, and dtscard a diamond
on the club Jack. But with thrs layout,
drsaster stnkes. East ruffs and collects
.hts dramond tnck one down.
To succeed, you must fipd East
wrth at least three hearts. So, you
should attack that surt first. Play off
three rounds of hearts ending' rn the
dummy. If the surt drvrdes 3-3, you
tum 1mmedrately to clubs, hoprng
East has at least three. But here, when
West drscards on the thrrd round, you
know II is safe to cash dummy 's last
heart wrnner, throwrng a dramond
from hand. Then you swrlch to clubs,
not caring that East ruffs lhe thrrd
round because you have JUSI jettisoned your final diamond

Things· looking up for former military base town~

.•

By LESLIE MILLER
Associated Press Writer
AYER, Mails. - Hundreds of identi~al.ranch houses , lined up like soldiers at attention. stand eerily vacant along a road at Fort Devens where tanks
and transport trucks once rolled with troops.
It's a reminder of the past, when the Cold War fueled enormous defense
spending and vast military bases sprawled across the country like this one
35 miles outside Boston.
There is a hint of the future just down the road: Trendy sport utility vehicles ferry businessmen to jobs-at a software company housed in the old base's
intelligence headquarters.
Now simply named Devens, the former U.S. Army facility - -like others
closed nationwide .since 1988- is under civilian ownership. The transition
was painful at times, but things are looking up.
The old army fort, which once employed 7,000 people, boasts 39 busi, nesses and 1,300 private-sector jobs.
"Things were real bad for a year," said Corey Austin, who works at the
Exxon service station in nearby Ayer. "Now, they've taken up the entire work
force ."
According to a Defense Department Web site, 20 of the 97 bases slated
for closure across the country have successfully been converted to civilian
use. The gove'l'ment estimated last April that some 45,000 new jobs have
been created in the abandoned hulks . .

The developer of a housing subdivision near Tuppers Plains has
filed a $120 million lawsuit against Ohio Valley Bank of Gallipolis.
A complaint filed last week in Meigs County Common Pleas Court
by Frank Herald, Jr., Middleport, against the bank, alleges that the
bank is In default' and breach of a line of credit agreement for failing
to apply portions of principal borrowed to outstanding interest payments.
"
Herald's complaint, filed by a Columbus attorney, 'alleges thai he
and the bank's senior vice:president, E . ·Richard Mahan, entered into kn
oral agreement granting Herald a line of credit of $1 .5 million to
develop the Apple Tree Estates subdivision - located on lhe . former

Cline fruit farm and other acreage in Olive, Orange and Chesler Townships- and to. develop houses on the site.
The compla1nt states that OVB refused to release funds to pay
materials bills and that he and OVB later executed a written loan
agreement in the amount of $1,294,000, secured by a mortgage.
Herald alleges, however, that the bank continued to refuse disbursements, which prevented him from paying his suppliers and laborers.
.
He is asking for judgment in the amount of $70 million, and $50
million in punitive damages.
Jeffrey E. Smith, President and .Chief Operating Officer of Ohio
Valley Bank, said Saturday that the bank had received and reviewed
the complaint, and plans to respond, but made no further comment on
the case .

The Ohio Department of Transportation is
claiming victory in conquering a series of
storms that invaded Ohio during the first few
weeks of the .new year.
.
Old Man Winter, relatively docile the last
two years, roared into 1999, dumping significant amounts of snow and ice throughout the
stale, beginning with a major snowstorm on ·
Jan. 2.
.
.
The bad weather so far this winter has cost
ODOT over $17 million, which includes labor,
equipment and materials.
This constitutes 72 percent of ODOT's normal expenditure of $24 million to·combat winter weather.
To date, ODOT has used 270,000 tons of

Within District 10, which includes the nine

covnties of Athens, Gallia, Hocking, Meigs,'
Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Vinton and Washington, 15,947tons of sail have been used thus far
this winter. Annual salt usage in District during a normal winter of 20 to 25 inches of snow
is appro~imately I6,000 tons, orjust about the
same amount as uo;ed already this year. With
about 10,000 tons of salt still on hand, District
10 is t£!\ocking its bills as quickly as possible
in case Mother Nature sends another storm
this way.
ODOT reminds motorists to remember
basic winter driving tips: allow plenty of extra
time when traveling, even on short trips; drive
more slowly since there is an increased1ikelihood of slick pavement ·and icy spots; stay farther behind other vehicles because of
increased stopping distances on slippery pavement; and turn on headlighiS to be more visible to other drivers.
