REED Times-sentinel Staff POMEROY- Voters in Tuesday's general election will choose township trustees and clerks, mayors and village council members, and school board members, and will also determine the fate of a county-wide levy proposal and several local levy issues. · Each precinct's ballot is different, although every voter will have the opportunity to decide the fate of a proposed 1.5-mill contin. uing levy for the Meigs County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities. That levy, which would generate an estimated $380,000 per year for the benefit of the Carleton School and Meigs Industries, would be used for operating eKpenses, as well as a two-phase capital improvements program at !he board's facilities in Syracuse. Voters in the Meigs Local School District will decide a 23year, 3.95-mill school levy and bond issue. If passed, the .funds generated from the levy will be used as the local match for a $32.5 million building program, which would see the construction ELECTION PREPARATIONS - Rita Smith, Barbara Smith and Jane Frymyer of the Melga County Board of Election• are pictured for the final teating of tabulation·equipment, In prapa· ration for Tuesday' a general elactlon. of two new elementary school buildings, a middle school building, and renovations to the existing Meigs High School at Rock Springs.

DANIEL H. WHITELEY There are a few contiibutions you can make to national organizations that help your fellow Gallia countians when their need arises as much as a contribution to United Way. Eighty-five cents of every dollar donated is used in Gallia County to support the carefully chosen local organizations supported by United Way. (The 15 cents from each dollar helps to defray administrative costs of the River Cities district office in Huntington, which supplies the technical support for our unit.) All United Way board members and DR. DANIEL H. WHITELEY workers in Gallia County are volunteers. . The Board functtons pnmanly to collect funds and monitor their distribution among supported organizations to assure that the funds are being used to provide vital ass istance to individuals served by the local organizations. United Way provides a true "safety net" for individuals in our county who suddenly and unexpectedly find themselves in great need. Many examples of the "safety net" in action can be found in the records of local organizattons such as The Outreach Center and the local chapter of the American Red Cross, responding to our citizens' needs in recent years when flooding caused extensive damage and loss. United Way funds dispersed through a spec ial medication program administered by the Ministerial Association of Gallia County has provided urgently needed medicines ·to individuals temporarily unable to manage on their own. United Way funds through Serenity House have provided security, support and hope for individuals suddenly finding themselves in an intolerable domestic violence situation. In addition to these more obvious examples of vital support, funds provided to the Anhritis Foundation, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (R.S.V.P.), Family Addiction Community Treatment ·services, Holzer Hospice and Woodland Centers have aided countless individuals in our commu, nity with needs specific to those organizations, often averting a crisis in the lives of those coping with life disrupting if not life threatening situations. United Way also supports Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts with emphasis on programs within these organizations that help boys and girls in scouting to better appreciate and understand each other's needs and the needs of their community. . Please help to push the familiar United Way thermometers above the 1999 $110,000 goal. Many of the local organizations receiving United Way funds are experiencing increased legitimate requests for services. Your gift to the United Way is needed more than ever and will definitely make a diff~rence where mos.t people making donations want their support to go · nght here at home to Galha County. For more information, call the United Way of Gallia County at (740) 446· 2442, a number that IS answered at the River Cities district office in Huntington. (Dr. Daniel H. Whiteley Ia the honorary chalrmin of the 1999-2000 United Way campaign.) Today in history By The Associated Preea Today is Sunday, Oct. 31, the 304th day of 1999. There are 61 days left in the year.

Dufek became the first person to land an airplane at the South Polo!. In 1959, a former U.S. Marine from Fort Worth, Texas, announced in Moscow that he would never return to the United States. His name: Le'e Harvey Oswald. In 1968, President Johnson ordered a halt to all U.S. bombing of Nonh Vietnam, saying he hoped for fruitful peace talks. In 1980, Iran's Reza Pahlavi, eldest son of the late shah, proclaimed himself the rightful successor to the Peacock Throne. In 1984, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two Sikh security guards. In 1993, movie director Federico Fellini died in Rome at age 73; actor River Phoenix died in Los Angeles at age 23. Ten years ago: President Bush announced he and Soviet leader Mikhail S.

By JACK ANDERSON and DOUGLAS COHN WASHINGTON - Who is this guy? Voters want to know: Presidential candidate and Texa' Gov. George W. Bush is polling well with people from all sides of the political spectrum. His cand idacy resembles a Rorschach test where voters sec in him what they wish to see. Assuming the nomination is locked up. Bush is chasing the holy grail of politics the political center as a compassionate conservative - but Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition , is one uf his must fervent backers, often appearing on television to tout the Texan. How can thi s be? Docs he practice what he preaches? Who are his finan cial backers'' The following positions and financial poorer districts of Texas, one out of live children have no kindergarten because property taxes arc imidequate. Yet Bush gave his blessing to an lith-hour maneuver by Republican state senators to shift $250 million dollars into tax cuts that had been earmarked for kindergarten and other education initiatives. • Heahh care (liberal ): Texas is second only to New Mexico in its number of uninsured people. The Democratic-controlled Texas House voted to ·accept federa l funds to provide health in surance to 1some 228,000 poor children , the catch being that the state would have 10 kick in a share of the money. Bush grumbled. but •illowed the legislation to become law. making the compassionate conservative - at least tern- porarily - a reluctant lib~ral. • Crime (conservative) : Texas leads the country in death-row exccutions. and is at the hottom when it comes to providing poor people.with legal representation. Some defcndants wait as long as six months before they sec a lawyer. Bush vetoed legislation earl tcr this year that would have required namin g counse l within 20 days after an arrest. He did not hack a ·hate-crime hill generated by the gruesome death of a Texas man who was dragged to death behind a pickup truck. Our verd ict: TI1e heart of the father is in the son. Former President George Bush was a man of the center, but his legacy, exemplified by the appointment of arch-conservative Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, is on the right. Watch what they do, not what they say. Pat Robertson does. (Jack Anderson and Dollglaa Cohn are columnists for Unllad Feature Syndicate.)

But state-of-the-art equipment is expcnstve. and many of the older plants arc still belching out pollutants, contributing roughly a third of the state's industrial air pollution. Bush coll ected $1.5 million for his two gubernatorial races from the protected companies. • Tort refom1 (moderate): Bush pushed through leg islation in Texas regulating the size of damage awards and the fees that trial lawyers can collect - an issue dear to moderates and conservatives alike. The bar for bringing a lawsuit in Texas has also been raised to where malice. m addition to negligence, must be proved. With trial lawyers a powerful Democratic constituency, Bush has been handsomely rewarded for his stance by the business community.

You've seen headlines claiming discovery of "the breast cancer gene" or " the Alzheimer's gene." Maybe you' ve considered taking a gene test to discover if you're at risk of a dread disease. And you ' ve probably seen breathless claims that gene therapy's miraculous cures are just around the corner. But genetics isn't that simple. There isn'tjust one gene that goes wrong to cause a complex disease like breast cancer or Alzheimer's- it's a mix of different genes that may interact with environmental factors still being discovered. There are questions about the value of testing for certain genes until scientists better understand how they work. As for gene therapy. it is promising but researchers still have lots of obstacles to overcome before anyone should exp~t cures. All the caveats mean Americans must becpme gene-savvy to reap lhe most benellt from genetic discoveries. The National Institutes of Health is taking an unusual step to help them: an unprecedented day long class on Nov. 12 to teach anyone who's interested the nuts-and-bolts of genetics. Some participants even will be taken inside NIH laboratories to watch· DNA sequencing. Questions the program will try to answer: • How does my genetic heritage. influence my risk of disease? • Axe illnesses like heart disease and diabetes triggered mostly by genes, or do genes interact with diet, smoking and other factors? • If my family is prone to a certain disease, should I take a gene test? If I have a "bad gene," can I do anything to protect my health? Can I keep the teSt results private and away from my insurer and employer? • How soon arc genetic discoveries going to.change the way my pfimary care physician, cardiologist oi other doctor diagnoses and treats me? Class participants should leave the NIH 's Bethesda. Md .. campus with answ~rs. Ceneticists want consumers to understand basic genetic principles enough to ask their own doctors the best questions about their health - and to critically assess media reports of the latest discoveries. "Consider it a primer in genetics," said Craig Higgins, chief of outreach and education at the NIH 's National Human Genome Re.search Institute . That • institute spearheads the Human Genome Proje~t . the massive effort to:catalog all the human genes. . , '"Virtually every disease has a genetic com~onent," Higgins explained·. The better people understand genettcs and Its 1mpact in medicine, the betterthe,mteractton between the health care provider and the patient is going to be.' Genes are bundles of DNA that control how cells act by instructing them to prod~ce certam protems VItal for bodtly processes. Those instructions are wntten to a chemocal code, which scientists have named using the leiters A G, C and T to represent DNA's chemical makeup. The order of the letters i~ a gene's DNA sequence. . If the letters get altered, the cell may not behave properly, mistakes that can lead to disease. On the other hand, some alterations are just harmless variations between people. NIH g_eneticists describe sequencing the human genome as reading the b~ok of hfe . Understandmg the code- the letters in the book- will help sc tenttsts hunt what goes wrong tn disease and hopefully, one day, prevent · · orfixtt. . Gene mutations can be inh~rited, or they can de~elop ov~r a lifetime. Every ttme a cell reproduces: there,'s a chance for error as the DNA code is copied. Somettmes JUSt a stng)e mhented gene mutation IS enough to cause disease, hke m stckle cell dtsease or Huntington's disease. But other illnesses like heart disease, cancer or diabetes ·are complex · enough that mult1ple gcnet1c alterations and environmental factors all can . play a role. • . Knowing you ha~e a particular gene mutation may mean you have an tocreased nsk of a dt sease, but how big a risk? For most diseases scientists don't y~t know. But with new discoveries daily. it's important for doctors and pattents to keep track .

SHEERAN AIBOCiated Preea Writer CLEVELAND- A school c"losed for one day because of a threat ofvt·olence · dfrom a group of teens was never tn anger, said a lawyer for two youngsters. "Mayor (Michae~ R.) White has ~randed a~ enure scliool community as a gang-mfested, violence-prone, - . planning and -plotting group and that'~ not the case," attorney Dan ~hields said Friday night. ' Shields, who represents a brother and sister who were questioned in the alleged threat, said the mayor overreacted in canceling classes Friday. "South High School is not Columbine. There's no weapons at school, no violent acts. We under· stand there may have been some talk from one child regarding some <tetions against other students, but tha!'s it," he said. Shields said no charges have been filed against his clients, a 14-year-old , boy and his 15-year-old sister. . Police arrested four students and questioned seven other teens Friday . • · · . . . . in the alleged plot mot1vated by racial bias, White said. Seventy percent of South's enrollment is black. White would not comment on a report that the attack planned for Friday at South High was similar to the one by two students at Columbine High School in Liuleton, Colo., last April. The 11 students, all suspended for 1odays, are white and planned to disrupt South High with "violent acts,.. according to White, who said only that the students felt alienated. White said the students planned to get weapons from an area ~an~ but are not gang members. Police found the two guns at a student's home but would not say where. One of the students questioned, Sarah Jedd, 15 • said the four who were arrested, all boys, had maps of South High with shooting positions. She said her name was included on the maps, but she wanted no part of it. "It's so unfair that I got dragged into this," she said. White would not · elaborate on details of the alleged plot or confirm a report by The Plain Dealer that the students gave written statements to po 1·ICe Ihat they PIanned to use guns · an d homemade exp1ostves to kill teac hers, a·dmmtstrators · · and fellow stude nts · The massacre was planned for just before noon Friday, when students would open fire in the cafeterias and the principal's office, the newspaper reported. The students also planned a suicidal shootout with police in a school courtyard, the newspaper said. White dido 't disclose the names of those .arrested but The PI am · DeaIer, citing juvenile court records, identi· fied them today as Adam Gruber, 14, and 15:year-olds John Borowski, Benjamin Balducci and Andy Napier . The paper said Napier was the · ringleader and his parents admitted him to MetroHealth Medical Center for a psychiatric evaluation. The other three were ·in juvenile detention.

In April 1998, the 12-member board changed the way it releases prisoners. Before. it could take years - sometimes more than a decade before an inmate got another hearing. In prison parlance. the time between hearings is known as a " flop ." . Now. most inmates are given a date and told that if they behave, that's ~hen they will be released. The rule does not apply to inmates se rving hfe sentences or to sex offenders. The changes. in pan. were made in response to complaint s of unevenness m the board's decisions, said Margarette Ghee, the board's chairwoman . In 1996, the Legislature passed a ""truth in sentenctng"' law. Inmates who committed crimes after its passage are given predeterm ined sentences wtth no parole. The sentences are usually shorter than the maximum sentence for the same crime committed before the new law. Some tough-on-crime advocates complain that the parole board then stepped up its granting of releases to make sure inmates convicted earlier were not serv ing longer terms than newly convicted prisoners got.

Thompson Jr.' : $200 OFF $7 5 Hospital news Political status quo faces challenge in many elections By ROBERT TANNER Associated Press Writer Heading into Tuesday's elections, some traditional political sure-shots are fac ing rare challenges; a Republican is in a neck-and-neck race to become Philadelphia's mayor, while a Democrat has a strong chance at winning the Mississippi governor's office. Philadelphia hasn't gone Republican in a half-century. Mississippi, like most ofthe traditionally Democratic South, has been turning steadily GOP. In the Midwest, Democrats are vigorously trying to end decades of Republican control in Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio. With presidential hopefuls swarming the first primary states, races for these and a smattering of other offices give political activists the chance to build momeptum for the all-important races in 2000. "The political community watches elections of this_kind very closely," said Robert D. Holsworth, director of the Center for Public Policy at Virginia Commonwealth University. "It has a potential ripple effect." Republicans are gleeful about the chance of winning Philadelphia, hope to take control of all of Virginia's Legislature and expect to lock in Mississippi after Democrats last year shook the Southern GOP trend and won governorships in Alabama and South Carolina. In the past two months, the Republican National Committee has poured more. than $1 million into state and local races, half of it in Mi ssissippi 's race for governor. Democrats didn 't make their spending fi gures public. Democrats say even if they don 't win some races. the fact they·re competi.ng in Republican territory like the South and the Midwest proves their growing strength. " It's been a year of surprise for · Democrats. We're in contention in places we never thought we' d be," said Jenny Backus, a Democratic ·- National Committee spokeswoman. In Mississippi 's race for governor, after an affair dogged the end of married Republican Gov. Kirk Fordice 's two terms, many saw an opportunity for Lt. Gov. Ron Musgrove, a Democrat. Early polls showed him in a tie with former GOP Rep. Mike Parker, but a survey last week showed Parker creeping ahead. The chance of losing Philadelphia has President Clinton and other national politicians campaigning for Democrat John Street. Polls show Republican Sam Katz with .an even chance to win·a city that hasn'.t had a GOP mayor since 1952. In Virginia. Republicans are within one seat of gaining control of the General Assembly for the first time in 140 years. If they do, the GOP would be in position to redraw congressional lines in 200 1, arttl build momentum for next year's expected challenge to two-term U.S . Sen. Charles Robb. In the Republican strongholds of Indianapolis and Columllus, Ohio, Democratic candidates have mounted strong campaigns. Neither city has gone Democrat . in nearly three decades. In the only other governor's race Tuesday, Democratic Gov. Paul Patton in Kentucky is favored to win a second term. In Louisiana, Republican Gov. Mike Foster won re-election earlier this month . . And in Washington state, Democ rats could gain control of the House if they win a special election for a House district along the Idaho border that has steadily voted GOP since 1936. The Senate and governor's office are now Democrat. Other cit1es with elections include Baltimor~ ; · Houston; Tucson, Ariz.; and San Francisco, where Mayor Willie Brown may be forced into a runoff by fellow Democrats. J',llegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh, is choosing an exec utive. New Jersey's 80 Assembly seats are also up for electi on.

The 21st.ranked Buckeyes beat Iowa 41-11 Saturday, but talked as if it was just another practice session for what lies ahead in the next three weeks. "We talked in the locker room after the game about the challenge ahead of us," Ohio State coach John Cooper said of the upcoming games at M,ichigan State, at home against giant-killer Illinois and the season 'finale at Michigan. "One of our goals is to try to win out." The Buckeyes (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten) won hy the biggest margin this year and piled up their most yards in coasting past the Hawkeyes (1 -7, 05). That progress will be tested at Michigan State, which ruined the Buckeyes' national championship hopes with a stunning 28-24 upset a year ago. 'Tm sure our team was embarrassed by what happened last year," Cooper said. "We'll have anoiher good week of practice, o up there and sec what happens." Jonathan Wells , who scored twice on short runs and gained 5I yards on nine carries, said he was already thinking about getting back at the Spartans. "Some guys will tell you that it doesn't matter, but, of course, it does," he said.

'' Rambo had consecutive games of 181 and 164 receiving yards against Ohio and Cincinnati earlier in the season, but totaled just 166 yards in the Buckeyes' last four games. "Ken-Yon's role is to make the big play," said quarterback Steve Bellisari, who completed 12-of-24 passes for 240 yards and two scores. " He's . getting the job done . We always expect great things from hlm." · The Buckeyes scored on their first three possess ions and never were threatened. Iowa. which had been outscored 52-0 in the opening quarter thi s season. broke the streak on Scott Mullen's 18-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Kasper. Kasper tied a sc hool record withl3 catches for 135 yards, and Mullen completed 29 of 45 passes for 283 yards. Iowa came in ranked 103rd in offense of the 114 Division 1-A teams, but looked like a scoring machine the first time it got the ~all. Chris Oliver's 39-yard return got things rolling. The Hawkeyes needed only six plays to cover the remaining 57 yards, as Mullen com pleted all three of his pass ing attempts for 45 yards. After the touchdown. the Hawkeyes went with an unbalanced line and Rob Thein surprised the Buckeyes by taking the snap and scoring the two-point conversion around left end . "We' ve been real prolific in the first half all season long," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said sarcastically. "So it's great to take the ball and drive it. I think our guys were ready to go from the get-go." Still, Oliio State's Michael Wiley outrushed the entire Iowa State team, gaining 86 yards on 15 carries compared to 53 yards on 26 attempts for the Hawkeyes. Staying primarily on the ground on their first series, the Buckeyes scored on Wells' one-yard run. After forcing an Iowa punt, Ohio State took over at its own 22 and put together a 13-play scoring drive. Bellisari hit Rambo for 17 yards on third-and-seven at the Haw keyes' 38. After a personal foul left the Buckeyes with third-and-goal at the 18, Belli sari slipped two tackles and rumbled up the middle for the touch down . Rambo's 58-yard reception from Bellisari was the key play the next time Ohio State got the balL After Wells ran for 18 yards, Bellisari nipped a short play-action pass to Houser in the end zone to make it 21-8 at the half. The Buckeyes put it away in the second half as the defense picked off three Mullen passes and the offense provided three touchdowns. In additiion · to Well s' three-yard run, Rambo caught a 40-yarder from Bellisari and backup quarterback Austin Moherman hit Vaness Provitt on a 4 I-yard score.

Though some expected junior tailback John Bonecutter to.show his 1,000-yard-plus self, he was but one back in a multi-faceted ground attack for the West Virginians. True, Bonecutter put the Big Blacks' first points on the board, but after fullback Joe Burris scored his touchdown late in the Jirst quarter, Point Pleasant dug into its bag of tricks and took advantage of River Valley's three-man secondary. When the Raiders persisted in playing a 5-3 defensive alignment, PPHS quarterback Jason Gilley connected with tight end Randall Shobe out of the range of linebackers Clark Walker and Mike Conkle..Shobe outran Raider safety Jeff Gardner to the promised land to complete a 56-yard touchdown pass play. .

The decision: • Gave the Big Blacks their first league win since beating Athens 427 on Oct. 8. • Helped Point Pleasant avoid a losing season. • Completed River Valley's second straight losing season • Handed the Raiders their 21st consecutive defeat. The Raiders' five fumbles proved instrumental in keeping !hem from getting past Point Pleasant's 45-yard line in the first half. Meanwhile, the .

One of those spots figures to go to O'Neal, who will be asked to become more of a thinker and passer in Jackson's -new Lakers offense. O'Neal addressed one team problem over the summer by attending Bryant's 21st birthday party, and the two say they have put their differences aside, "People who say that Shaq won't fit into the offense are mistaken," Jackson said. "Wilt Chamberlain thrived in this offense back in his time because it takes full advantage of a big man 's skills." Jordan thrived in it, too, but that was in a different era. l!'s post-Michael time now, and this is a whole di fferent NBA.

I have my own perspective on who should be on thts team. Some of those I voted for didn't make the final cut; however, seeing Ted Williams, Bob Gibson and Will ie Mays standmg on the platfonn gave me a thrill. Baseball and MasterCard should be con gratulated for putting this team together. I understood why Pete Rose ganfished so much attention. Every baseball fan knows Pete ts baned from the game for gambling on baseball . Fans also k~ow that Rose refuses to admit he did anything wrong. It' s partly a result of hts unwtlhngness to show contrition that baseball allows his ban to co ntin . ue. Rose is not a penitent person in spite of the preponde rance of ev1dence agamst htm. Rose dominated the pre-game interviews. Sports reporters grilled Rose about a variety of issues, including his ban and betting on baseball. Rose has faced these questions virtually every day during his banishment. It follows him wherever he goes. But Rose was in Atlanta to ce lebrate baseball. He was an elite. It was to be a glonous day. . Enter Jim Gray, a reporter who dec ided to give Rose a chance to address the ban. Pardon me, but where has Gray been all these years'' Wh at does he thmk Pete has been doing for the last decade' Rose can never escape the ban and gambling anymore than Nixon could escape Wate rgate. Here's a reporter who ruins a spec ial event for the fans by turning it into a contentious confrontat ion to grah a l''urnalist moment. Rose is not allowed· in baseball parks or the Hall of Fame.

It's wonderful to see Chad Curtis tell Gray that he's not go ing to talk to him after "what they did to Pete' " I loved it when New York Manager Joe Torre said, "I thought (Gray's questioning) was uncalled for, and I was very disappointed. For some reason, we've lost sight of the word respect. " He said he would suppon his players boycotting interviews with Gray. Before game fo ur Gr3y had to ask Torre how his players felt ahout the upcoming game heca use some of them still wouldn't talk to him . Initially, Gray said, \ 1 want to reiterate that I don't apologize (for the interview)." Two days later he addressed a national audi ence and promptly apologized. It's iro nic that Gray, who was giv1ng Rose a chance to apologize, ended up being the one to say that he was "very sorry." Yes, there were those. like Bob Kravitz of the Denver Rocky Mountain News, who called Gray's interview "great TV JOUrnali sm." But these were reporters who obviously take themselves and thcijljobs too seriously. 'TI)is is the World Series, not Watergate.

Make sure the stove is positioned in a safe place and on an approved stove board to protect the floor from heat and hot coals. Check with your local fire department and local code officials before installing a stove. Many residents are taking advantage of the warm weather to install outdoor Christmas lights. Use caution when climbing ladders, and check extension cords to make sure safety comes first. Inside, when decorating make sure live Christmas trees are properly watered and never use real candles to decorate your tree. In recent years, nearly 600 fires per year have been stared by ignition of trees. Again, check extension cords when using multiple strands of lights or other lighted ornaments. Make sure trees are placed away from heat sources. Make sure artificial trees are fire retardant. Use only battery operated lights if you have a metal Christmas tree. Any tree should be well anchored to prevent it from tipping over. Candles play an important role in home decor, but make sure they are laced in non - combustible holders that will not tip over. Make sure candles are kept away from decorations or other combustible materials. Local officials know this time of year presents·special problems. "We try to educate the public to make preparations for themselves," explained Mike Null, Emergency Management Agency Director. "We · serve as both a 911 center in the event of emergency and a coordinating agency for other programs. We help to organize the important work of community organizations such as the American Red Cross, Emer· gency Medical Service, Gallia County health and fire departments, law enforcement agencies and hospitals - just to name a few." "The community should excercize extra care regarding fire safety during power outages . that result from winter storms," Null added. "The use of candles, kerosene beaters and other alternate heat sources greatly increases the risk of accidental fire." Nancy Porter, executive director of the Gallia County Chapter of the American Red Cross, says she has been receiving numerous requests for literature pertaining to Y2K and disaster preparation. Winterizing your car can mean uninterrupted service on cold mornings. A few simple maintance steps can prevent common winter prob-. terns. Check your battery for service. Batteries are often over loaded with winter use from operating headlights, heater, defroster, rear window defogger, wipers and radi'oplus the strain of idling in traffic. If your car battery is having trouble starting now, it will undoubtedly fail once the temperatures drop. Do fluid checks of antifreeze, oil, transmission, brake, battery, power steering and windshield washer fluid. Check your owner's guide for placement of each. GETTING OF TOP OF THINGS - In the Facemire household, removing fallen leaves from gutters Is make easter by using a leaf blower. TIMES.SENTINEL PHOTOS BY MILLISSIA RUSSELL Consider replacing your tires to handle winter driving needs. To check for worn tread, which can cause hydroplaning, place a penny into the groove, placing Lincoln's head in first. If the top of his head shows, then the tire has worn past its legal limit. Tire pressure checks are a must. Cold temperatures causes air to contract, decreasing pressure. Low ,pressure tires don't make proper contact with the road and can cause water to shed ineffectively, causing hydroplaning or sliding. .Winter is a good time to change wind shield wiper blades. They can do extra duty with snow and ice removal. Make sure they are in top condition to prevent an accident due to poor visibility. Take your car to a service center for a brake check. Dirt from standing water can get between brake components, causing them to wear. Most importantly, carry a winter emergency car kit. Among the items you might consider are at least two blankets, waterproof matches and candles, extra clothing such as boots and gloves, dry food, jumper cables and change for a pay phone. Always carry sand or non - clumping cat litter for tire traclion if your vehicle is stuck in ice or snow and have a flashlight with spare balleries and emergency flares. A winter shovel and rope are also handy things to carry. When winter storms hit, make sure that your home has a severe weather safety kit incl~ding battery operated radio, flashlight, matches, extra baueries and a supply of food and drinking water. Do a check cif your home owners policy to make sure you are cove.red for severe weather damage. The best advice is to prepare now for the winter to come.

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Money pressures may explain a "startling" drop in the amount of enterprise reporting on local TV news broadcasts, according to a new study. The Project for Excellence in Journalism said it found that enterprise was sharply on the decline despite clear evidence that viewers support stations that produce high-quality reporting. The study. issued Thursday, ranked newscasts at 59 stations in 19 cities over two weeks earlier this year. The definttton of enterprise included investigative stories and reports produced at a reporter's initiative, instead of just reactions to events. More than 8'0 percent of the stations received a "D" or failing grade from the study for their amount of enterprise. A similar study last year found only a quarter of the stations with such low scores. ' Nine out of 1'0 stories on local TV news originate from police scanners or planned news events, the study found. News executives surveyed by the \project said their biggest . obstaCle" to quality is a lack of !laff and demands on them to fill an expanding amount of broadcast time. Many require their reporters to produce at least one story a day. The study found a clear relationship between quality and high ratings: stations given the lowest 'Coats for Kids' again coming to Gallipolis GALLIPOLIS--:- The employees of Peoples.

"People in television news should be quite heartened by a study like this because it shows that if you want to do good journalism, you can do well," said Carl Gonlieb, PEJ deputy director. The study found that an investment in staff is more likely to pay off in higher ratings than getting new technology, like news helicopters. Crime news is still easily the most popular topic on local broadcasts, but it doesn't dominate them as it used to. The percentage of crime news on the broadcasts dropped from 28 percent last year to 22 percent in 1999.

The network that airs the highly popular program in Sweden denied any responsibility, but the man's widow blamed the show then and still does. CBS said it believes the program was not a factor. " There is no evidence to suggest a connection between the young man ' s tragedy and the show," CBS spokesman Chris Ender satd Monday in Los Angeles.

Whtle garlic has been touted as some sort of health aid for hundreds of years, the scientific evidence is far from clear on the subject. Studies have examined garlic's ,potential for reducing cholesterol. lowering blood pressure and enhancing the immune system - with varying results. . The critical element appears to be a :chemical called allicin, produced when two components of garlic, alliin and alliinase, make contact. These two components are separated by a natural barrier in the cell which is broken down when the garlic clove is chopped or mashed. As soon as that barrier is broken, alliinase starts converting alliin into alhcin , producing garlic's characteristic aroma and, some believe, therapeutic benefits for humans. Notably, alhcm also protects gar- lie plants from parasites and fungi. If the plant fs attacked, the two components intermingle and produce allicin, warding off the invaders. However, allicin is difficult . to study. It quickly dissipates, and its effects in the body are difficult to trace. Researchers aren't even certain that allicin is responsible for potential benefits. Some studies concentrate on other sulfur-containing chcmtca\s, such as S-allyl mercaptocysteine or diallyl disulfide, or a number of other components found in garlic. It could be that s0 me compounds are responsible for some benefits. and others should get credtt for other benefits. The problem with rcvtewine research on garlic is the fact that fresh garlic and aged garlic differ significantly in chemil',ll make-up. Researchers also find -differences in raw and cooked garliC,' garlic powder, garlic pills and garlie, oil capsules. how well they filtered out heavy doses of contaminants, and whether they could improve the ta~te and smell of a very nasty cabbage soup we concocted .

But recent reports of lead and parasite contamination have made unappetizmg water a health, as well as an aesthetic, matter. Should you be worried about your water supply? ThiS year. thanks to a new federal law that requires water utilities serving more than 10,000 people to send an annual report directly to their customers, you'll have an answer. The federally mandated Consumer Confidence Reports will disclose levels of contaminants and whether they approach the maximum allowed limits. While utilities have to test regularly for about 80 different contaminants, it's unlikely that many will show up in any single water system. Still, every pollutant matters. and a few contaminants - such as lead and a microscopic parasite called cryptosporidtum - can pose a risk even if they're under the government's legal limit. They can be especially dangerous to vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women and people with cancer or AIDS. In response to growmg concerns about water quality, home filtering is becoming increasingly popular. One in live U.S. households already owns a water filter. In five years, the mdustry expects that ftgurc to be one Valley tridges for the faucet-mounted filters we tested range from $9 to $25. If replaced according to the manufacturers ' recommendations. that translates into an annual cost from $27 to $90. Carafe filters run $5 to $13, and the typical cost over a year ranges from $28 to $78. Most of the models we tested did a good or ·very good job of Improving the taste of drinking water. All of the faucet-mounted models were effective at removing lead, as were three of the carafes: the top-rated Brita Pitcher Ultra OB 13 ($16), the Pur CR-500 ($17), and the Pur Plus CR700 ($30). Two faucet-mounted models the top-rated Culligan FM-15 ($17) and the l'ur Plus FM-3000 - were also excellent at reducing chloroform. Generally, package labeling is a good guide to what the filters do. A filter's ability to reduce parasites such as cryptosporidium is tested and certified by NSF Intema!JOnal, a not-forprofit organization. Look for "NSF Standard 53 for cyst reduction" on the package. We found it on most of the tested faucet-mounted filters . but on only one tested carafe: the Pur Plus CR-700.

Securities sales- To realize a gain or loss in 1999, the trade date must occur on or before Dec. 31 . Settlement date is irrelevant for publicly traded securities. The limit on the deduction of capital losses m excess of capital gain s is $3,000. Any net capital losses in excess of $3,000 are carried over into 2000. Both short and long-term losses are counted on a dollar-for-dollar basts A few years ago, long-term losses were worth only 50 cents on the dollar. No longer. The holding period to achieve a long-term capital gain or Joss is now more than 12 months. Count the period from trade date to trade date . Whether a gain is short or long-term does make a difference today. Net short-term gains are subject to a 39.6 percent maximum rate, while net long-term gains, are taxed at a maximum 20 percent. Retirement plans -If you are a cal'endar-year taxpayer, the deadline for establishing a qualified retirement plan· for deductions against 1999 income is Dec. 31. The contribution need not be made until the filing deadline for the taxpayer's return . Note, however, that a SEP plan can still be established for 1999 deductions up until the return due date in 2000. In order for a dJStnbution to qualify as a Jump sum distribution, 100 percent of the balance to the credit of the employee must be distnbuted in one taxable year.

Thursday night's airship accident, in which the Spirit of Akron 's pilot and a technician suffered minor cuts but no serious injuries. capped a run of bad news for the lire manufacturer. Goodyear's stock is down this week, its debt is up, its been ousted from the Dow Jones industrial average and its tires won't be seen any more at the Indy 500. Still, George Prough, a University of Akron marketing professor, satd Thursday that he felt Goodyear 's image would rebound from what he called a largely coincidental spate of bad news. "From an image standpoint. I don't think it's going to have a longterm effect," said Prough, who owns Goodyear stock and has helped train Goodyear 's Asian and Latin Ameri- on New York Stock Exchange trading Thursday, near its 52-week low of $39.68 3/4 and the 13th dec line in 14 trading days.

Goodyear's decision to drop out of high-profile racing was part of a onetwo punch Tuesday as The Wall Street Journal dumped the company from its benchmark Dow Jones industrial average.

The Holley Brothers Construction Co. of Gallipolis is assembling the project which will connect residents and businesses from Legion Terrace south to the Middleport Corporation Line, including the Monkey Run neighborhood, to the village's sanitary sewer system. Funding for the project comes from a variety of sources, including federal and state grants. Funding comes from a $300,000 Appalachian Regional Commission grant, a $375,000 (State Capital Improvement Project) grant and a $5,000 CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) in addition to local ·money. . .

The descent took just two minutes. The FBI and other intelligence agencies are inve~tigating the possibility of sabotage, but authorities said there has been no indication of foul play. · Search crews scouring 36 square miles of the Atlantic have recovered a lone body. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Richatd M. Larrabee said today that he had not abandoned hope of finding survivors - in water that is just 58 degrees and 270 feet deep - but said "we're getting closer to that point, we're still searching for the survivors this morning." Larrabee told The Associated Press he would decide later today whether to change the mission from a search and rescue to a search and recovery operation. In New York, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said the National Transportation Safety lloard had notified most families by Sunday night and would make the list of names public . when notification is completed.· A contingent of emergency workers planned to travel with 27 people representing 16 families to Providence this afternoon. Giuliani said families were. being asked to briqg medical records and pictures to help identify loved ones. The Boeing 767 slammed into the ocean 33 minutes after leaving New York for Cairo with dozens of American tourists on board. By today searchers had recovered two of the jet's evacuation slides, clothing and passports, partially inflated life rafts, life jackets and seat cushions. None of the items had bum marks, which could have indicated a fire or explosion on board, Larrabee said. And with no distress call from the pilots and a fall of nearly 300 feet per second, investigators had few clues. While the debris field stayed intact overnight, Larrabee said searchers would have to recover as much today as possible with rain and windy conditions forecast for Tuesday. Six Coast Guard cutters searched through the night and a Navy salvage ship, the USS Grapple, and Navy divers were expected to arrive in the area by tonight, with orders to take debris and remains to a former Navy base in Rhode Island. "We are beginning what may. be a long investigation," said NTSB chairman Jim Hall. He said airline and Egyptian government officials will provide help.
