It is this frightful scenario lhal Meigs County offi· cials, working under recently enacted sex offender reg· istralion laws, are hoping lo relieve. These laws, com· monly called "Megan's Laws" afler a case in New Jersey, are designed lo make neighborhoods aware of convicted sexual predators living in lheir midst Locally, lhe cases involving sex crimes have been brought before Meigs Counly Common Pleas Court Judge Fred W. Crow Ill who decides if the defendant meels lhe criteria as a sexual predator. in a recent hearing involving 55-year-old former Middleport resident John Lewis Young, Crow determined that Young was the worst form of sexual preda· tor. . Young, who had prior convictions for military ilesettioii, armed robbc!ry and murder before being convicted in the.kidnapping and 'rape of a Meigs County girl, currenliy resides in Ohio's Madison Correclion lnstitulion. As a resuil of lhe recenl hearing, Young will be con· sidered a sexual predator for the remainder of his natural life and must, upon release, register with the sheriff of whichever counly he resides. He must notify lhe sheriff in advance of any moves and must continue to check in wilh lhe sheriff every 90 days. Others who are considered less of a lhreat may have to regisler their whereabouls for 20 year or 10 years. When any of several Meigs Counly resideniS serving a prison lerm for a sex-related crime is released, sever· al things should occur. Firsl, Sheriff Jame~ M. Soulsby will inform neighbors, schools and olher inslitulions in the area of the· sexual predator's presence. In addition, Prosecuting Allorney John R. L..entes said lhe offender's name, photi/uaph and address will be posted on his ·office's in~'e'1 site. Lentes said there are currenlly about eighl Meigs countians considered as sexual predators, but remarked that those people still remain behind bars. "None of lhe people determined 10 be sexual preda· lors have been released," he said. "None have moved into lhe counly." However, he is ready to put the notifi· calion laws lo use. The law requires lhal neighbors be notified, bul Lenles, who has lhree young children, said his definition of "neighbors" includes more I han jusI adjacent res· idences and exlends to lhe community at-large. "We have determined locally that we consider thai information a public record," Lentes said, meaning thai lhe movemenl< of convicted sexual predators may be publicized via local ·media. · Lentes said lhe informat,ion will be posted on the proseculing allorney's interne! site. "The purpose is thai you need1to know who is livfhg a1011nd you," he said. "Everybody in the communrly needs 10 know who these peopJe a!Jy..

Currently, the Pentagon requires local honor guard units, even those that can 't afford it, to pay for all their uniforms. "Our local honor guards perform military funerals for deceased veterans on their own time and without compensation," Strickland said. "These folks just want to make sure that we remember the dedication and sacrifice of each veteran after they bave passed. They want to make sure that griev· ing families are given the consolation of a grateful nation. The least the Pentagon can do is make sure that honor guardsmen on limited budgets have decent uniforms to wear during these ceremonies. "I was disturbed when I heard that the armed forces were making these volunteers pay for their own uniforms," Strickland added. "That's why I have introduced legislation urging the Pentagon to provide uniforms for honor guard units who can·'t afford them." The following is an excerpt from the bill: "Whereas Congress has authorized the Secretaries of the military departments to provide material , equipment, and training for members of veter· ans organizations and nongovernmental organizations for the support of funeral honors detail s: Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate Concurring), that ii is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of each military department...provide material, equipment and training for members of veterans organizations and nongovernmental organizations for the support of funeral honors details for the funerals of veterans-(!) should include uniforms needed for participation in such funeral honors details within the types of materi al and equipment that may be provided; and (2) should provide such uniform without charge to nongovernmental organizations or their members upon a showing, in such a manner as the .

MEARS '.AP Special Correspondent : WASHINGTON (AP) - With President Clinton accusing Senate RepubiJ ..:ans of reckless, blatant partisanship, Democrats are trying to stir the rejection ·of the nuclear test ban treaty mto a 2000 campaign issue. But even Clinton had to acknowledge thattl may not work. tie had said earlier that the test ban would not be a huge issue either way, and the polls indi cate that probably IS so. Since the end of the Cold War, foreign policy concerns have slopped down the list of voter priorities, dominated by issues at home. Clinton said the Senate "dearly disregarded the views of the American people who have consistently aod strongly supported this treaty ever since it was first pursued by Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy." Eisenhower proposed a nuclear test ban in 1958, in a different world, challenging the old Sovtet Umon to agree to stop teshng. Kennedy s1gned, and the Senate approved, a limited test ban treaty in 1963, barrmg all but underground nuclear tests by the United States and the Soviet Union. The treaty Cl inton signed in 1996 and lost in the Senate would extend an .international ban on atmospheric tests to underground testing. Republican opponents said the ban couldn't be enforced, and was dangerous to future U.S. secunty. They voted 11 down 51 to 48 on Wednesday, wtth four Republicans in favor. Ratification would have required a two-thirds .majority, 67 votes, and Clinton never was dose to that strength. "This was a political deal and I hope it will gel the treatment from the American people it richly deserves," the president said after the vote he knew he would los'e. Clinton also said that the treaty will ultimately be rat1fied But it obviously won't happen on hts watch, with Republicans in 55-to-45 Senate control through 2000, and therefore in command of what is brought up for action. When the Democrats tried to challenge that GOP prerogative, and delay action on the treaty, they lost, on straight party lines. That doesn't kill the treaty outright. Vice President AI Gore said rejection was "an act of almost breathtaking irresponsibtltly." He then made it the subject of his first campaign television commercial. " I believe in my heart thts vote does not speak for the American people," the vtce prestdenl says in the ad. "So why don 't we do somethmg about it?" He asked voters for their support in his campa1gn, and for a mandate to send the treaty back to the Senate in 2001. Rival Democrat Bill Bradley also favors the treaty, Gov. George W. Bush, the Republican front-runner for 2000, is opposed, as are the other GOP candidates. But Bush says he would continue the voluntary moratorium on U.S. testing that has been m effectsinoe 1992. Britain, France, Russia and, since 1996, China also are reframing from testing. " Never before has a serious tn:aty involving nuclear weapons been handled in such a reckless and ultimately partisan way," Clinton said, "This issue should be beyond politics." Bill campaign politics is the only arena in which the Democrats can pursue it now. Senate Majority Leader Trent Loll, R-Miss, who started the process that led to rejection and then couldn't control it, said he doubts they can make a winnipg campaign issue of the treaty because Americans know it is flawed.. . . Public opinion polls do show overwhelmmg support for a treaty prohtbtlmg nuclear weapons test explosions worldwide - 82 percent, according to a 1999 survey the Democrats cite But in issue surveys, foreign policy in general is cited by only about 5 percent of potential voters as a top priority, and the issue of nuclear weapons ranks even lower. · Clinton said at his news conference on Thursday that he never wanted the treaty to be a political issue, but it might become one now that the Republicans have blocked it. But he also acknowledged that Americans aren 'I warned about the nuclear threat ao; they were in the Cold War era. So he said it may or may not have an impact on the campaign. He wants it to, although he minimized the prospect earlier when he was trymg to get the Senate vote delayed, to avoid the defeat he knew was coming. "This is not going to be a huge issue in the election one way or the other," Clinton said on Oct. 8. Walter R.

Such was the case last spring during interviews at Littleton, Colo One lady looked at the mterviewer and said, "How could someth1ng li ke thts happen here?" She was revealing that she had placed her security in a place, in a certain kind of people, A more accurate view is that security does not exist in people or places. . All around we have murders, fraud, lies, deceit, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and lornadoes. Just living in the right place, being blessed with affluence and attending the right clubs will not produce security. That is contrary to what many believe in thetr hearts today: The "Humanist Manifesto 2000" has been signed by 120 humanists in September as a fol low-up, or volume 3, to the Manifestos of 1933 and 1973. "As humanists we urge today, as in the past, that humans not look beyond themselves for salvation,'' states the 14,000-word document. Leaders look to science for values and progress, promote an ethic of, choice and recom mends global institutions to curb poverty, pollution and overpopulation. Paul Kurtz, chief architect of the new document and president of the International Academy of Humanism, said the fresh statement was compelled by "a new global economy, the information revolution, a rise of divisive multicultural and poslmodernisl views, and a rise in supernatural beliefs and faiths. The persistence of traditional spiritual attitudes often encourage unrealistic, escap1st, otherworldl y approaches to ·social problems." Such religions "too often defend archaic social institutions" and "moral doctrines that inherit prescientific concepts," lhe document states. . Proposing "scJenlific naturalism" as a sound basis for human knowledge, the document honors all forms of voluntary birth control, diverse definitions of family and sexual partnership, and an adu lt's right to euthanasia. We see that humanism is a man -ce ntered religion that attempts to solve the problems of man independent of God. The Supreme Court has defined it as a religion Humani t Manifestos I & II says, "Humanism is the viewpowtthat...human happiness is its own justification,.the supernatural, usually conceived of in the form of heavenly gods or immortal heavens rdoes not exist: ... h4man beings can build an enduring citadel of peace and beauty on this earth." The 1973 version says: "As in 1933 humanists still believe that traditional theis~, especially faith in the prayer-hearing God, assumed to love and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and to be able to do somelhi_ng about them, is an unproved and outmoded farth ... falsc hopes of heaven hereafter. Reasonable minds look to other means of survival." The end result of this produces the self-centered man who has God-like goodness. Man becomes the measure of all things. This is played out in situation ethics, self-sufficiency, self-satisfaction and self-actualization. Not only does the Manifesto claim values to be relative, but ethics as well . "Moral values derive their source from human experience. Ethics is autonomous and situational. .. In the area of sexuality, we believe that intolerant attitudes, often cultivated by orthodox religions and puritanical cultures, unduly repress sexual conduct... individuals should be permitted to express their sexual proclivities and pursue their lifestyles as they desire." Thus there are no absolutes to govern our behavior. Free love, promiscuity, homoscxuality, divorce, abortion and drugs are all part of an acceptable lifestyle. Adding all this encouragement to the fallen nature of man, can we begin to see why we have the current mess? One estimate has placed the number of humanists in the United States at 27,000. Their strength however far exceeds the rei a· by.

The first two were to win the highest office in American politics. This last is to reach the highest place in American history.

Hurricane Irene drenches Florida, 'A big problem' - state cracks down on rave parties with multiple raids and arrests knocking out power in deadly visit By DAVE BRYAN A~lated Press Writer WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Hurricane Irene began a slow march up the East Coao;t today, slipping out of Florida after dumping heavy rain and knocking out power to more than a million people. The stonn blamed for at least seven deaths was expected to hug the East Coast as it moved north and forecasters feared it could gam strength and dump several , inches of rain on the flood-weary Carolinas through the weekend. A hurricane watch issued today stretched north to Cape Hatteras, N C. The stonn was packing wrnds of 80 mph, though lis most dangerous winds were directed toward the sea. In all, Irene is blamed for killing two people in Cuba and five more near Fort Lauderdale who were electrocuted by do'l'ned power hoes. As much as 18 inches of wmddriven rain caused scattered floodmg over hundreds of m1les, from Key West to West Palm , Beach, where streets were nearly empty early today. "We're lucky we have power," said Tom Sullivan, owner of the El Cid bar, where a1>out a dozen people were on hand as the storm swtrled outside. Don Bury, who turned 38 on Fnday, refused to let Irene spotl the party. "It's only a crime they're not playing Frank Sinatra," said Bury, a chef. "Other than that, I can live with the stonn." At II a.m. EDT today, the center of the stonn was about 40 miles east-southeast of Cape Canaveral and moving north at 8 mph. A tropical storm warning remained m effect from north of Jupiter Inlet to Edisto Beach, S C. Bridges from 'the mainland to Brevard County's bamer tslands were closed. But John Davis was among those sitting on a scenic overlook, watching whitecaps on the Intracoastal Waterway. "We've had so many stonns this year that I'm just going to get a couple of six packs and watch this one," he said. In the rural Jupiter Farms area of Palm Beach County, fish from overflowing canals swam in the streets.

After drenching Cuba's tobacco fields and collapsing buildings in Havana, Irene rolled ashore Fri· day afternoon near Cape Sable, 75 miles southwest of Miami, and headed north through the Everglades. Florida Power & Light satd today it had restored power to 700,000 people, but more than I 5 ' million remained wtthout service in seven counties from Miami to Melbourne. The National Humcane Center in MiamJ had to sw1tch over to backup generators when the power went out for about 30 seconds. It took about 90 mmutes to reboot all the computers, during which forecasters were able to get data from elsewhere. Most airlines suspended service to south Florida and the Miami International Airport was · shut down for 3 112 hours Fnday. The Untversity of Miami closed its campus. High school football games were postponed, as were two $400,000 thoroughbred races scheduled for today at Calder Race Course.

"He reportedly is liberal, 'politically speakmg,' and hrs stand on nuclear disannament and some social refonns have caused some people (to) question his loyalty," Hoover wrote in a 1965 letter to Pres1dent Lyndon Johnson , The FBI released more than 1,700 pages of Spack's files after a Freedom Information Act request from Theof Dallas Morning News, which reported on the material Saturday. Spack rose to intematio~al renown with his 1946 book on nusing children, "Baby and Child Care," which sold more that 40 mtlhon copies. . . .

But three weeks later, her most chilling memory of that day is the face of the uniformed gunman. She knew him. He was a neighbor. " His name was Paolino," Bianco, 25 years old and five months pregnant, recalled Friday in a halting whisper at a French military hospital where she and her daughter are recovering. "We never thought he would shoot us." · As international peacekeepers gradually assert control in the mountainous hinterlands of East Timof, villagers are coming forward with accounts of the violent rampage by anti-secessionist militiamen after the territory's people voted overwhelmingly for independence from Indone sia in an Aug. 30 referendum. The campaign of intimidation forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee into the forest or to refugee camps in neighboring West Timor. Enormous property damage - mainly burned homes and businessescan be see n in towns and cities throughout the territory. Thus fa1, hard evidence of large-scale, systematic killings has not emerged, despite initial fears that the death toll could reach into the thousands or even tens of thousands. By the weekend , U.N . officials had . counted about 100 bodies. i' I local members of the Mahidi militia because their area had long been a stronghold of the pro-independence Falin til rebels .. The regiol)al Falintil chief, known as Commander Cobra, said in an interview that the villagers p10bably were right. "In ot~er place's, they (the militias) drove people out and burned down their houses, but didn 't shoot them," he said. Despite speculation that corpses may have been buried en masse or dumped into the sea, only about 100 bodies of apparent victims of militia violence have been found in East Timor, said Michel Barton of the Office for the Coordin'ation of Humanitarian Activities, a U.N. agency. Maj. Gen. Peter Cosgrove, the peacekeeper commander, said no mass grave- a half-dozen bodies or more in a single site .!>. had been found, but promised to aggressively investigate reports of any. Investigators and human rights groups including Amnesty International say that proof of wholesale executions may yet come to light as peacekeepers expand their reach and more evidence is gathered. The timing is highly sensitive, however. . Rights investiga,tors privately worry that any allegations of mass killings by militias - especially if they .involve collusion by the Indonesian army - could jeopardize the 200,000 East Timorese refugees who are still awaiting repatriation. In the Ainaro attack, victims said the militiamen wore uniforms like those of Indonesian soldiers and that some of the men's rifles appeared to be Indonesian army issue. More typical are ilccounts oi scattered atrocities like the shootings described by the Biancos, who lived on the outskirts of the town of Ainaro, about 95 m'il es south of Dili, the East Timor capital. The family said that on Sept. 23 - three days afier the first peacekeepers arrived in Dili, but before they began fanning out into the coontryside - about a dozen armed militiamen arrived at the village and orde red them and their neighbors to leave for West Timor. The Biancos refused and tried to fl ee into the forest. With that, they said,,the militiamen opened fire , killing a dozen people and wounding six. including Maria Bianco, 5-year-old Zeferina and Maria's sister, Isadora Araujo, who also is pregnant . Their account cou ld not be indepe ndently verified. But Dr. lean_ Dominique Singland, the French army surgeon who treated their gunshot wounds, said the Ainaro villagers had provided vivid and consistent descriptions of the day 's eve nts. "They were very lucky, because th ey were fuund fairly soon after and brought here, where we were able to treat them ," he said. "Also, their wounds are in their extremities. In these (tropical) conditions, those who are shot in the abdomen would be much more likely to get infections and die without immediate help. •· Since it was set up three weeks ago, the French field hospital has treated about 30 gunshot victims, many of them brought from the countryside by relief workers, Singland sa id. The villagers of Ainaro suggested they might have been targ,eted by Russian forces approach Chechen capital, militants launch raid By RUSLAN MUSAVEV Associated Preas Writer GROZNY, Russia (AP) - Russian artillery and tanks dug in atop a hill just outside the Chechen capital Grozny on Saturday in preparation for what Moscow said was the next phase in its campaign to wipe out insurgents. After thrir deepest push yet into the. breakaway republic, Russian troops were 'digging in on heights overlooking the city, which was now welt' within range of Russian artillery. There were no indications whether Russian commanders would try to push in to Grozny. which is heavily defended by Chechen forces. Col. Gen. Viktor Kazantsev said that his troops had finished creating a security zone to seal off the militants, and that a second phase was underway to wipe out the bases of the insurgents. "We will not launch strikes against peaceful villages," he told The Associated Press on Saturday. " We will destroy the bandits on the territory of Chechnya." While the Russian troops dug in near Grozny, Chechen militants led Pakistan Army chief cancels television address, officers hunt for looted wealth I I By ANWAR FARUQI Associated Press Writer ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) Pakistani anmy officers combed bank records and questioned travelers at airports Saturday after the new mili· ·tary regime made economic revival and the hunt for looted wealth its top priorities. The search for illicit assets was the first act of the regime, which ousted the elected government Tuesday, announced emergency rule and proclaimed army chief Pervaiz Musharraf as the supreme leacler. Musharraf canceled a promised television address Saturday that was expected to outline an interim government. His spokesman did not say when the speech would be rescheduled. In the city of Lahore on Saturday, police raided a sugar factory owned by the family of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif and hauled away boxes of documents and checks. The military sent out orders Friday freezing hundreds of bank accounts owned by politicians. "We are happy with the effort to recover the nation's looted wealth, but in return we hope that there will be real accountability and not just an eyewash," said Sarfaraz Shahid, manager of an Allied Bank branch in the northeastern city of Lahore. In a meeting of his senior officers, Musharraf said "economic revival accountability and ensuring nationai integration" topped his agenda. On Friday, U.S. Ambassador William Milam delivered to Musharraf a message from President Clinton that the United States wants to see a rapid return to civilian rule, an embassy spokesman said. In Washington, White Ho11'1C press secretary Joe Lockhart said Milam failed to win a commitment for an early restoration of civilian rule. He admitted the United States had little leverage over Pakistan, which is already under sanctions imposed last year after Islamabad tested a nuclear bomb. U.S. military leaders view Musharraf as pro-Western and capable of controlling the country's nuclear weapons. The !5-nation European Union, meanwhrle, threatened to halt aid to Pakistan unless it produces a plan to restore democracy by Nov. 15. The United St~tes has said it will impose new sancttons. · Pakistanis are wary of the military which has ruled the country {or 25 of its 52-year history, but they have generally ,welcomed the ouster of an unpopular prime minister and his corrupt administration. At several of the nation 's banks tinifonmed officers sat alongside bank officials scouring mounds of records. Among the accounts frozen were those of Sharif and his family, and his predecessor Benazir Bhu!fo. by a prominent warlord struck back with a nighttime raid, crossing the Terek River and taking back a small village, they said. Shamil Basayev, who led two separate raids on villages in neighboring Dagestan this fall, told The Associated Press his men had killed 26 Russian troops in the attack Saturday on the village of Shchedrinsky. "This war has proved once more that the Russians don 't learn anything," Basayev said. "They're not a serious opponent. We have· beat them before and will beat them again." .

Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, threefifths of the members elected to each house concurring herein, that there shall be submitted to the electors of the state. in the manner prescribed by law at a general election to be held on November 2, 1999, a proposal to enact Sections 2n and 17 of Article VIII of the Constitution of the State of Ohio to read as follows: ARTICLE VIII Section 2n. (A) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY MAY PROVIDE BY LAW, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS OF AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION. FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYING COSTS OF FACILITIES FOR A SYSTEM OF COMMON SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND FACILITIES FOR .

AND TAXING POWER OF THE STATE SHALL BE PLEDGED TO THE PAYMEN-t OF DEBT SERVICE ON THOSE OUT. STANDING OBLIGATIONS .AS IT BECOMES DUE. FOR PURPOSES OF THE FULL .AND TIMELY PAYMENT OF THAT DEBT SERVICE, APPROPRIATE PROVISIONS SHALL BE MADE OR AUTHOR· IZED BY LAW FOR BOND RETIR EMENT FUNDS. FOR HI E su mCIENCY AND APPROPRIATION m· EXPLANATION OF STATE ISSUE I (As prepared by the Ohio Ballot Board) ARGUMENT FOR STATE ISSUr I I. This amendment authorizes the State of Ohio to pay for or assist in paying for capital facilities of local public school districts and state· supported and state-assisted institutions of higher edu~ation, including th'e costs of acquisition. construction, improvement, ex pansion, planning and equipping tacilities, by issuing general obligation bonds or notes. State Issue I would permit the State of Ohio to issue general obligation bonds to support the construction, renovation and repair of facilities lor Ohio's public schools and state-supported colleges and universities. The ability to issue such bonds for this purpose will result In an overall savings for Ohio taxpayers. General obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the state and therefore enablellhe state to secure a lower interest rate. 2. Those general obligations would be backed by the full faith and cred-· it. revenue, and taxing power of the state. · 3. This amendment proh ibits the State from issuing any direct obligations, Including those rdcrred to above, if such issuance would result in debt service on state direct obligations in a future tiscal year, to be paid tiom the State general revenue lund or net lottery proceeds, exceeding live per cent of the total estimated revenues of the State for the general revenue fund and from net lottery proceeds in the tiscal year in which the particular obligations are to be issued. The General Assembly. by at least a three-tillhs majority vote of each house. may waive the tive per cent limitation as to a particular issue or amount of obligations. 4. This amendment authorizes net state lottery proceeds to be pledged or used for payment of th e debt service on the obligations issued by the State for public school facilities, but not on obligations issued for higher education institutions. 5. The General Assembly must establish the method for computing the amounts required for payment of debt service and may estimate payments of debt service on bonds anticipated by notes. The amounts required for payment of debt service. as well as other pertinent fiscal matters, as certified by the Governor or Governor's representative , . will be conclusive for purposes of the validity of the obligations issued. form in an eve nin g s how th at The Legislative Budget Ollice has estimated that State Issue I could save taxpayers $979,000 annually in interest payments for each $1 billion in bonds sold or $14.6 million over the life of the 15year bonds. For 20-year bonds, the savings is expected to be $688,000 annually or $13.7 million over the life of the bonds. begins at ~.

State Issue I includes a safeguard to prohibit the State from issuing more debt than may be· managed in a fiscally responsible and efficient way. Bonds could only be issued if the annual principal and interest due on all bonds (excluding revenue-backed bonds) will not exceed 5% of the State's estimated general revenue tunds and net lottery proceeds. The legislature could increase that percentage if necessary, but only by a 3/5th 's vote of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Issue I will: • Result in a lower-cost method of bo"owing money for construction, renovation and repair of school buildings; : MEIGS HOMECOMING- Bethany Boyles, daughter of Vickie McKinney and Chris McKi(lney of Middleport, was named Meigs High School's 1999 homecoming queen in ceremonies on Bob Roberts Field Friday nighf preceding the Meigs-Alexander game.

Ohio (AP)- A public school district that allowed stu· dents to take a religion class that used Bible stories and songs has dropped the program because administrators feared being sued. The nondenominational class was voiuntary. and parental permission was required to attend. It was sponsored by area churches and had been a fixture in the Arcadia school district. School board member Jo Colman said it was time for the community to make some changes. "I must look at educating all the children ," she said. " If we have a program that makes one or two chi 1dren uncomfortable, then I'm not comfortable with that program." · She suggested that the communi!~,' work . with the churches and decide what to do. · " We might have to change alittle bii, but we can still keep our val· ues," she said. Superintendent David Lewis said the district in northwest Ohio decide-d to drop the class after receiving mbre than one complaint about u~ng public tax dollars to teach a Christian religious class. ·: " If we maintain the program, wfll be facing a legal challenge we can't win. And I've been told by mdre than one person that 's· what wf re facing if we don't drop the class," Lewis told The Courier of J:[ndlay. ·. Lewis said that Arcadia, a farm· ing communhy of 700 residents a,bout 40 miles so4th of Toledo, ts bcicoming more di verse and that the rejigion program now is more likely to·be challenged. ·; " If children are betn g taught one th)ng in their home . and they come , tiT school and can't attend a class ttecause it is teaching sometl1ing dif· ferent and they are forced to wait in t~ hall, that 's wrang," he said .

He has since started a bluegrass record label called Skaggs Faijtily Records. His most recent release is a gospel album, · "Soldier of the Cross." Skaggs said there is less competition among bluegrass artists than country music singers. "There's something here in Nashville where everybody's kind of on-the-spot all the time," Skaggs said . "They feel like they have to be on performance mode , that light switch turned on all the time .... There's a lot ofthe newer acts that really don ' t have a relationship with some ., of the older guys."

A variety of oontribution for-; mulas are available to customize qualified profit-sharing plans. Money purchase pension plans are often pained with profit sharing plans: They are funded by mandatory employer oontributions only, based on a fixed' percentage of the employees' pay (up to 25% annually), within IRS limits. Defined benefit pensions are funded by mandatory employer contributions which are calculated actuarially; based on the desired annual retirement inoome.

"The crack epidemic has sub· sided, but we haven't taken all the guns out of the hands of youths," said James Alan Fox, professor of crimi· nal juslice al Boston's NQrtheastem University. "Youlh crime is down but not out." "Police have adopted smarter slrategies, focusing on guns and high-risk juveniles, laking a preven· live approach rather than wailing in squad cars for 911 lo ring," Fox added. "Communilies are involved as never before; corporalions have made jobs available; clergy have laken their minis1ry to the streets." "But if we let our guard down, the problem could resurface with a vengeance, because every year for lhe next couple decades we're going to have a recozd· number of black and Latino leen·agers, and they live in the most at-risk situations," Fox said. Although there were highly publicized mass shootings by students at a handful of suburban or rural schools, the overall in<:idence of deadly violence at~hools has been declining as well. In 1998, rural areas, the last places reached . by the crack gangs, finally joined in the decline in crime vol· umes and rates that big C:ilies and smaller cilies have seen for several years.
