Education does continue in the sixth grade but mostly these students are used to help teach the younger students. This first graduation ceremony for this school year ran for over an hour and featured the Gallia Academy PRIDE tealll, a group who entertain usi ng anti-drug messages,. and guest speaker City Manager John ll:Bianc. The students, as a special gift for completing the session, each wore a specially made DARE Tshirt. During LeBlanc's speech. he pro- vlae1i"severaT:ilps for parents to fol- low when it comes to their children. Some tips included: accept parents roles; give clear messages, be specific; don 'I expect the community to put forth family values; remember teens needs parent supervision; an·d remember children are never too old to hug. In the spring, students at Green and Rio Grande Elementary Schools will also have completed their 17 ~weeks of DARE lessons. These graduation ceremoni~s will be annourtced closer to the completion date. ' When the program first started, there were no grants," said Sweeney. "The city believed in the program and did it. Then, in the second year, we decided to apply for grants to fund the program." Funding for the program is provided by the state attorney general's office along with a grant called the Safe and Drug Free School Act through the Gallia - Jackson - Meigs Board of Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Se~ices. Each year, the city must reapply for funds through both · sources but Sweeney pointed out that funds continue to decrease each year. "Basically, we probably gel close to $12,000 from the board of alcohol and drug addictton and $6,000 from ffie attorney general'S0~ BUt;' both continue to reduce," said Sweeney. Sweeney added that he hopes that through the DARE education that the problem of drug and alcohol abuse is stopped before it becomes a problem for the students. The program does accept donalions from the community is that the students learn but also have fun doing so.

FLOOR $AVE By SCOTT WOLFE T·S Correspondent EAST MEIGS - Visiting Trimble raced to a 40-23 lead at the half and never looked back in defeating the Eastern Eagles 74-4 1 Friday ntght m an Important Tri-Valley Conference basketball match-up at Eastern High School. Eastern IS 2-7 and 0-6 in the Hockmg D1vision of the TVC. while Trimhle is 4-3·and 3-2 Eastern went up 7- 3 early in the game off Joe Brown and Eric Smith buckets, then Trimble's \(yle Patton hit a foul shot for a 7-4 score. Brady Trace then h1t a three to lie the game at 7-7. The game was last tied at 9-9 when Trace hit a two for an 11 -9 lead, and Tnmble was off to the races. Trimble led 20- 13 at the end or the first quarter and pushed onward to a 40-23 halftime mark. " Trace had 20 points at the half with 3-4 from both two and three point range, 6-8 overall from the field for 75 percent . Eastern came out slow in the third frame , then spiraled downward as Trace agam lit up the nets. Eagle sophomore Eric Smith went down with a probable broken nose in the third frame and missed the rest of the game after scoring seven points. Eastern guard Joe Brown also was nursing a severe sprain suffered in the Meigs game Tuesday and was just · medically released Friday to play in the game. Brown put forth a good, but limited effort to continue his double- ligure. average as a freshman. 1996 MERCURY SABlE 4 DR. GS You just ca n't find . a more energyefficent spa. I By SAM WILSON· . Times-Sentinel Correspondent It seems to me that a few coaches in the NFL, particularly Pittsburgh's Bill Cowher and Kansas City's Many Schollenheimer, should follow the advice of Fox football analyst John Madden. As coach of the Oalcland Raiders, Madden used to fol low a simple rule: always take the points. Naturally, he would go for a touchdown if the game was on the line and the Raiders trailed by more than three points. Any other time, however, he would play the percentages and take the three. . In football, as in all other sports except golf, victory goes to the team which scores the most points. Teams must take advantage of their limited opportunities and score when the situation prevails. This sound advtce was ignored last Sunday as veteran playoff coaches neglected field goals for chances at touchdowns. Cowher was fortunate because of a late New England fumble . He apologized for letting his emotions cloud his decision. A coach should ne~er let his emotions gain Ihe upper hand. Cowher is no fool . He's also not a "young coach," as he maintained during his press conference. ' He was, however, astute enough to use the heat he received because of this decision to take auention away from the Steelers' inept offensive performance . In ,the final analysis, Pittsburgh's great defense saved Cowher from facing an early exit from the playoffs, and an off-season of second guessing by the demanding Steelers fans. Schottenheimer; however, wasn't so lucky. He proved that his lack of success against Denver is as much a result of his flawed coaching decisions as it is John Elway 's late heroics. Twice, with home field advantage, Scholtenheimer's Chiefs have lost because of their failure to kick field goals. Two years ago, the Chiefs lost a 10-7 decision to the Indianapolis Colts becauSe their field goal kicker couldn 't deliver. Afterward, they acquired Pete Stoyanovich from Miami. The last time the Chiefs played the Broncos, Stoyanovich kicked a 50-plus-yards game-winning field goal into the wind. This kick enabled Kansas City to win their division. . · Last Sunday, Schottenheimer went for a fake field goal when the enttre civilized world knew it was a fake. It was in Stoyanovich's range, and would have made th e score 14-13. What this means is that in the final minute, with Kansas City on Denver's 28-yard line, Pete would have been in a position to kick another game-winning field goal against the Broncos. Instead, Kansas City had to go for a touchdown, which ended in failure and defeat. . I'm not being a Monday morning quarterback in these cases. I realtze field goals are not as easy as they seem to us fans watching at home on television. But I was shocked when Cowher clccied nol to go for a field goal, which would have put Pittsburgh up by four. New England would then have needed a touchdown to win, and they had mustered only two fields in the entire game. We knew the Patriots could kick a field goal, but a touchdown would have been a different story. Pittsburgh's failure to score a touchdown gave the Patriots hope. They were driving for a late winning,field goal when Bledsoe fumbled. Schottenheimer's sin was even worse. If you hav,e scared only one touchdown in over 3-112 quarters, the odds are against you scoring one late in the game. Yes, in week one, Andre Rison scored a remarkable touchdown in,the !ast second against Oakland,but the Broncos are not the Raiders, and th1s IS the playoffs. The final reward is the Super Bowl. As these low scores indicale, defenses are stronger in the playoffs than the regular season. Marty should have known better. He just found a way lo once again sleal defeat out of the jaws of v'ictory. Yes, he's a good coach, but apparently, not a big game coach. : On the other hand, Cowher has been given a reprieve and has professed to have learned from his mistake. Stcclcrs fans know he won't duplicate that decision again. Chiefs fans, however, are not so sure. · Sam Wlleon, Ph.D. 11 an aaooclate professor of history at the Unlveralty of .Rio Gn1nde.

The National Marine Fisheries Service gave Balcomb a one -year contract to determine how man y orcas were in the Pugct Sound regi on. Following the lead of Canadian rese archer Mike Bigg. Balcomb set up a photo- identification project. He co unted 68 to 7 I orcas for the government. Then . he contin ued the work independently . selling buttons and T-shirts . and holding a paying job in winter to keep afloat in summer. Throughout the I 980s, Balc<;Jmb and Bigg collaborated on the basic sc ience of orcas. Bi gg, who has · since died. concentrated on northern pods along the coas t of Briti sh ' Columbia and Balcomb took the southern pod·s along the Washington coast. In 1987 . Earthwatch persuaded Balcomb to open hi s work to their volunteers. With fund ament al informati on about pods in hand , Balcomb want s to explore th e effe cts of human encroachment. Of particular interest is the explosion of whale-watchin g crui ses in the San Juan s. In 1976, onl y Grcenpeace made an occas ional voyage. Today. at least 70 ope rators cruise the area. On Haro Strait. between May and October. visitors till yachts. kayaks, crui se boat s. and fishin g boats hoping for a better look at the orcas . So far. the killer whale seems able to coex ist just fin e with the se human interlopers. As Balcomb says. " these guys. as II turns out. arc vcrr ..mcllow and forgivin g the whole thing."

REED Tlmea-Sentlriel Staff POMEROY- While the· Ganneu News Service has found that America, in general, is-optimistic as we approach the new millennium, .local residen ts arc more ca utious. . Components of the survey used to poll 1,009 Americans by the OpinIOn Research Corporation were asked of approximately 20 Meigs County adults. Qu~stions were limited to those dealing with the economy, education and social issues. · . The local survey included men and women, younger adu lts and senior ctltzens and was conducted between Dec. 29 and January 8. THE ECONOMY Despite Meigs County's traditionally poor economic base, Meigs County adults are, generally, feeling good about the economy and their own personal economic situation. Most respondents indicated that tliey felt the economy was on the right track, and fell that their own economic situation was "fairly good." · The economic future holds less promise, however. Most'of those surveyed who have .children feel that their children will not be better off financi ally when those children reach their parents' age.

When asked their opinions of Bill Clinton, AI Gore, Trent Lott, Newt Gingrich, The Republican Party, The Democratic Party, Congress and Hillary Clinton, only Congress and the Democratic Party received consistent nods of approval. Not one of the Meigs Countians polled recognized the name of Senate Majority Leader Trent Loll, and none approved of l:louse Speaker Newt Gingrich. "I don't approve of the Congress in -general, because 0'-lhc.w;,y ltte~v,k~ treated the President," nie Denni s of Pomeroy said.

All but two of those questioned said they feel that school systems waste money and that taxes are too high. About half said that children in local schools receive a poor education, and most of those who disap- proved of local school systems said they feel that they received as good ' as or a beuer education than children today.

"If used correctly, there is enough money."

On the bright side, most of those locals asked said they still fe~l that America is the land of opportunity. GAY RIGHTS -In keeping with the results of the. nationwide GNS poll , Meigs Countii!ns hold television act ress Ellen DeGeneres in iow regard. The sitcom star, who "came out" as a lesbian in real life and on her television show this spring, received 'approval from only two respond ents. "I like her program. She's funn y, and that's what's important," one woman said . Another woman, who viewed the program featuring character Ellen' Morgan's now famou s kiss with another actress, was appalled. "I realize that homosexuality is a fact of life," she said, "and I think people ca n do and watch whatever they want, but l don't like rhe fact th at my children can sec this on television during the fam·ily hour. " Still another woman, while saying that she enj oys DeGeneres as a comedi enne, said she feels that she has used the process of "coming out" as a "pivot ... a way of increasing her fame."

Ten years ago, Shirley Davis looked arounq her suburban Minneapolis neighborhood and saw abandoned buildings, a bad drug problem, lost hope. Today the retired beauty salon operator from Brooklyn Center, Minn ., feels like rejoicing. Decrepit -buildings arc being replaced by new homes. Drugs are still there, but no one seerns to have surrendered the war. Most of all, hope seems back. "Things are rea lly taki ng a turnaround for the bet- · ter in our town," said Davis, 68. "And, nationally, it seems like everything is on the right track. "There are still enormous problems," she added, listi ng drugs and family breakups first. "But it seems to me there is a lot of hope, Davis's renewed hope in a fast-changing American community typifies the results of a new Mood of America poll bt Gannett News Service. Conducted Dec. 11-15 by Opinion ResearchCorporati9n of Princeton, N.J., the poll of 1,009 adults Qwith a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage poinls Q- is the most optimistic survey in the seven years GNS has been assessing the national mood. By a 2- 1 margin, Americans believe the COU!ltry is on the right ·track. They have renewed optimism about th e economy and their own pocketbooks. They think' even some deep-rooted ·problems, like race relations, will get better. But a more sober view of the nation's future ·tempers today's optimism. On problems such as crime and violence, Ameri· cans are less hopeful. Respondents were very pessi mistic about the safety and stability of children's lives. And lhey retain a deep distrust of their politic:tl system. "I have mixed feelings," said Atiba Callins, 20, a biology major at the Tuskegee Institute in Birmingham, Ala. "We make a move in the right direction, but then it seems like every step forward we take, we may lake two back." Despite statistics showing crime dropping national ly, he still is worried aliout his neighborhood,, "I don't think il is getting worse,'' said Callins, who wants to be an aibletic trainer. "But I don't think t~ey are doing as much as they could lo prevent crime and drugs." ln 1991, when GNS-began measuring political and social attitudes, the United States was coming out of a recession and 20 ye~rs of Periodic government scandais that had corroded confidence in instilulions and politics. A residue of distrust remains. But rather than being poised for the angry eruptions that lead to the downfall of former President George Bush in 1992 and the Congress in 1994, Americans seem hunkered down in their own lives and the country's relative prosperity. Ove.-whelmingly, lhey affix a spiritual dimension to their contentment: 84 percent said they think a _spiritual or religious belief is essential to a happy life, Overall, 60 percent said the country is on tile right track, 31 percent said the wrong track. That w significantly more optimistic than in January, when 50 percent said right track, 35 percent wrong track. In addition, 77 percent rated their own econQmic situations very good or fairly good, virtually unchanged this year. And 80 percent said the country's economy is in good shape, up from 72 percent. in January. In December 1992, when Bill Qinton was preparing to take over the pre~idency, only 34 percent said the economy was in gOOII shape. · Ointon may be getting more credit for good times than at any point in his presidency. His approval rating c)ipped from 58 percent in January to 53 percent this month -- a resu lt, some analysts say, of a year of storics questioning hi s 1996 ca mpaign fund-raising lactics. But others believe his support mirrors the country's direction. "I think Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have much, much to do with" a re·newed hope, Davis said. Over the longer term, however, Americans still guard their optimism. Paradoxically, while a healthy majority said America is on the right track, 46 percent said the nation is in decline, while only 44 · percent said it is on the rise. Respondents usually mention factors other than their own pocketbooks when expressing concerns about the future: a continued lack of civility on America's streets and in public discourse; a lack of confidence iii what should be bedrock institutions, like schools and government; the appalling public conduct by people looked to as role mode ls; and )lighly publicized crimes that.seem to show that life gets constantly more dehumanizing. , '. Significantly, many believe the new prosperity is benefiting those who need it least. Almost two ou t of three said they think the gap between rich and poor is widening. Half say tbat chasm is creating more problems. "You are hearing about how everybody thinks tlte economy is going so good, but yet you are looking at stories like stores not hiring as many people at Christmas this year as they did in the . past," said Yvonne Smilh, 38, a housewife from Pasaden~. Te~as . Her family, she said, still is recovering· financially from when her husband his job four years ago -- his company acquired another company, and many midlevel managers were fired in the resulting work force contraclion. He got a new job, but at a lower salary. • Today's contentment vs. tomorrow's anxiety may 1 be natural in a world of rapid change. To many Americans, the lnfonnation Age is a fascinating mixture of innova tion and intimidation. They see jobs changing arou nd the computer and an everexpanding global economy, and wonder how they will adapt. Asian nations, such as Japan, that f.ive years ago were seen as threatening rivals to U.S. econcimic health now are facing serious problems that could affect American workers. "People are smart enough that they know they can't crystal-ball it," said Constance Swank, director of research for the American Association of Retired Persons. "They are dealing in a very changing environment, a very changing economy." But right now, the cou ntry see ms riding high on an economy that is outdistancing its flaws. Aaron Howard, 21, who wi ll get a computer science degree at the un·iversity of Wisconsin-Stevens Point this spring, already has had 12 job interviews and one solid offe r. "With my fie ld of study. I am very optim istic," he sa id. What most worries him, he said, is going home to his small Wisconsin high school and seei ng kids wearing gang clolhes and fl ash·ing gang signs. He blames "pa,rents not pulling values in their kids." Davis, who ran her beauty salon for 35 years and has lived in the sa me house for 49, is inclined to view today's problems by hearkening back to how her own family lived through prior challenges. Her son fought in Vietnam, her husband in World War II, her father in World War I. A great-grandfather I was a Civil War prisoner at Andersonville, Ga. i Challenges, like Clinton's new initiative to improve 'I race relations, come into focus in a different light. "I think there are serious, serious problems" between races, Davis said. "But it's like everything else. It has to be worked on." �If' '. -------· ,unb~~ ~imr~-,tiditul •' Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Point Pleasant, WV Sunday,January11,1998 Sunday, January t1, 1998 .

STRAUSS Fort Myers News Press Ailologies to the librarians. But in this techno age, CDROMs are fast replacing many refer- · ence books as more efficient, faster ' and well , simply more fun ways to find out all sorts of information. And few CD-ROMs accomplish the task as well as a little ditty from Microsoft called Bookshelf 98. Available for both Macs and PCs, Bookshelf 98 (about $5,0) packs 10 reference works on one CD-ROM . These aren't weeny works, either. We 're talking stuff you can actually use: - "The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language" - "The Original Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases" - "The World Almanac and Book of Facts 1997" · - "The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations '' Plus a world atlas, Internet directory,· condensed encyclopedia, ZIP code and postal directory, computer and Internet dictionary, mid people's chronology. II installs in a snap and is a cinch to usc. It even integrates with the Microsoft Word word processor. Commands in Microsoft Word actually launch elements from the CDROM. You can also launch it from the taskbar in Windows 95 or a tool bar on the Mac. So why do you need it? Well , if you do any sort of writing or need to give a speech, the quotes feature is pretty handy for jazzing up your wolk with nifty words of wisdom. And who couldn't use a thesaurus to add zip to their linguistic offerings? Students can benefit from the encyclopedia, people chronology and atlas when it comes to doing research. Of course, you bookw9rms '¥ill argue you can gel all that from books. Well. show me a book that talks. That's right.

All through my school years I had made top grades in geography and history. and had hoped that I could save ; enough money to travel later to see · how people lived in other cou~tries . So I went into the photography business the day after I graduated from high sc hool in 1933. That ·was when a doll ar was wor.th a dollar. When I was 25 years' old , I came to the conclusion that l should get married and get free help in my business at the same time. Up until then, I had been. pay ing out most of my profit for extra help. So, I was lucky enough to find a school teacher by the name of Mabel McBride, and we were married on Decemher 8, 1940. I told her she could make more money working with me than she could at teaching s~ol. She fell for it. She soon learned how to retouch negatives and hand color photos- she did a great job. My busines» doubled and we soon had enough money in the· bank to pay all of our bills and the~ some. So. I said "lei's take a trip to.Cuba." I had been there before, but I wanted to take her. We got on a plane and tiew down to Cuba, which was a paradise for ·both of us. That was long before Castro took over and ruined it. Out next trtp was Guatemala and Haiti . After that: we made several trips to old Me xico. When an American dollar went a long way back in the .1940's and 50's. We will never forget :those pleasant times in old Mexico. · · L ate r~ will write about the happy unforgctable times I had in other foreign countries. Later on , I began to make long ~rips on my own because Mabel did 1\0I care for all of the waiting at the :airports and the hassle that goes with 'jt, and she didn't like being away from the children. Then I became a travel agent by meeting other travel .· agents . This was to my advantage . because I received discounts on all of my travel s to forei gn countries. I really took advantage of that option. Now I want to tell you of a few . more happy memories in my earl y.. : days or travel. When I was in New Zealand, I ' stopped in a photography studio and introduced myself as a photographer from the United States. · The nice owner closed his studio for three hours and drove me all around Auckland . He introduced me to many of h1s friends . and that evening he -had a party of 30 some people for me . How could I ever forget those happy hours that I spent in old New Zealand'! When I told my photography friend that I was going to Queenstown the next day, he said he had many friend s there . In fact two of his brothers , who lived there. met me upon my arri val- in the midst of a bi g snowstonn- and it was July. Their winters arc opposite from ours. My new friend 's brothers took me to their home and insisted that I stay all night with them . They also had a big dmncr party for me. Talk ab·out friendly people .they are in New Zealand. When I landed in Bali, there were no taxicabs available. One of several boys who worked there said he had a motorcycle and he would take me to my hotel. I told him I was in no hurry. so I had my picture taken with all of them. They were the most polite people. anyone would ever want tOmeet. I reached in my camera lrdg and pulled out my money bag , in which I afways carry 50-cent p1eces. I gave each one of the 13 boys a half dollar from the United States. That was the . best money lever gave away in my lifetime. I did not go to town in a taxi- ! went on a motorcycle with 12 other boy s as my escort. · After the airport closed and the boys had fini shed their work. they took me to the radio stat~on and introduced me to the manager. Then he got me a room in a beautiful hotel and the manager stayed with me for three days. He took me on tour of the beautiful country of Bali. When I left the airport on the plane. it circled three times while the boys waved gqodbye to me from the ground . . I have a large photo of me and the 13 boys. It hangs in my office and brings back some of the most pleasant memories of my life travels . I have many more beautiful memories of my world trav~l s _thatl . am going to write a book about. I hope I can get it published before J. pass on. I will be 84 years old on January 27, and time is running ou . for me. So I must get busy right away.

The Gallipolis Journal in report· ing tne episode, stated that "there are theories upon theories as to who did this damnable deed, together with ideas i\5 to the guilty parties." There are several obvious theories-someone stole the head to do research on the brain or someone believed that demons"were still in Marlindill's head, or someone was getting back at Martindill for some previous business grievance. A private detective from Dayton was brought in on the case and he did gather some evidence, including witnesses, but the grand jury failed to find a bill . The det.ective was dis· charged and the crime remained unsolved . T0 add to the tragedy of this story. about one week after Martindill's grave was opened, Reuben Bray, in whose home Martindill ' had died , commiued suicide by placing a revolver to his head. Bray was one of the town's wealthiest men , but he had a very sad life in some respects. His problems began in the 1870's when his only <laughter Lydia had 'broken with common convention of that day and had gone west by herself to see the world . ·She settled in Luray, Missouri w.here she met William Young. The two were engaged to marry, but dur· ing the engagement Young was arrested for his believed connection in the murder of the Spencer family. In a long trial, Young was found innocent. He and Lydia were then married but two days after their marriage, a mob broke into the Young cabin and hanged William Young in the presence of ]lis bride. Lydia never got over this shock. She lived in a state of constant rage that led"to self-destruction. She died early in 1881. An unscrupulous funeral dire~ tor, upon learning of Bray's wealth, gave Lydia the very best funeral , even though no one attended it. He was able to do this because he · knew · that eventually Bray would want Lydia's body sent back to Gal. lipolis. When Bray refused to pay the By HOLLIS L.

And smce Harry IS played by Woody Allen - who also wrote and directed the film- 1t 's easy the way the blend of Allen 's checkered personal life and superb artistry have fueled this brilltant film. " Dcconstructmg Harry " is a devastatmgl) honest, hystencally funny film While his work ts always known for its self-analytical bent, this ts the filmmaker 's f1rst mov1e in several years to put hts own pubhc persona centerstage It 's easily one of his finest ftlms yet, and one of the best movies of 1997. Allen reportedly thought of titling the movie " The Worst Man m the World "; certainly, he 's never been so • hard on h1mselt before After all, he's been dev1hsh before , but in this ftlm he literally goes to hell Harry Block ts a successful Manhattan novelist whose tales have been built around the author 's foibles, endless sexual explOits and a path through life littered with betrayed friends and lovers. " You take everyone's suffering and turn it mto gold, " says Lucy, hts roanngly angry Sister-In -law (Judy Davts). after she c9mes to his apartment, bent on r~venge " I want to kill the black magictan." ~ Lucy will have to watt m lihe. There arc plenty other compamons and former lovers and wives who'd love to turn h1m into chopped liver Of course, Harry doesn't see why everyone's so upset . wtth htm He's a master of rattonahzatton For example, when he's accused of creating a hf~ of nihthsm, sarcasm and orgasm, he retorts, " In France, I a could run on that ticket and wm." To deconstruct Harry, filmmaker Allen cuts back and forth between dual reahties - Harry 's real misgutded adventures and the renections of that hfe through the characters of hts books (brought to life on film) And to populate both worlds, Allen has assembled one of his most entertai nmg and diverse casts Besides the fabulous Judy Davts, there are Kirstie AJiey, Rtchard Benjamin, Eric Bogosian, Demi Moore, Mane! Hemingway, Amy Irving, Elisabeth Shue, Stanley Tucct, Juha Louts-Dreyfus, and Billy Crystal as the devil. If that 's not enough, Robin Williams contributes a cameo m the film 's most original and htlarious aside; he plays a movie actor who is shocked to discover he's always out of focus (The btl has to be seen to be understood - and laughed at ) Allen also experiments here with rougher language "I always had a rull: that they're creattve people, and you don 't stifle creal lVII)'.,'/ Newhart said, pegging the actors)'input at '' maybe 10 percent, maybe 20" Trymg to dommate a production is generally unpruduct1ve, he says, c1111ig the behavtor of a younger sencs star (" I won't mentiOn which one. f:urly successful " ).

When Newhart realtzed a scene would work better without h1m, he dtdn 't hesitate to step aside .tnd let H11sch take center stage. ·'Judd was generous on 'Taxi' with Andy Kaufman and Tony Danza I've been ge nerous with other actors I have respect for," Newhart satd "You can't he the star," said Htrsch . " You can't have every line. You can 't be the only fun person It doesn 't work The point is to make the show better.
