GALLIPOLIS - Unable to collect the 60 votes Wednesday to put a proposed constitutional amendment before voters, the House plans to start work next week on legislation that would need the support of only 50 of the 99 members to get the half-cent sales tax increase on the May ballot. Republican U.S. Congressional candidate Frank Cre, means, however, continues to urge Ohio lawmakers to resist any sales tax proposal. And, a conservative group has vowed to block House plans to take another crack at a court-ordered fix of the ~tate's school-funding system. Only proposed constitutional amendments have to be approved at least 90 days before an election.

"serve all sides here in southeastern Ohio" and said he hopes the race does not result in negative campaigning - something he said he has avoided in 14 years as a state representative. "Thirty-second commercials shouldn't decide a race," he said. Shoemaker said his platform would be based on quality of life issues affecting southeastern Ohio, a region he said is ignored by urban legislators. "Their idea of helping us to spend $200,000 on an Office of Appalachian Sensitivity to help all of us who move to Qllumbus," he said . Referring to the newly appointed Transportati.on Review Advisory Council, which helps the Ohio Department of Transportation determine what major new construction projects will be built, Shoemaker observed that five members of the seven member council live along 1-71. During the recent ·school funding debate in the Ohio Legislature, Shoemaker said lawmakers lost sight of the children. ' His term and that of Nancy Parker Campbell, audi· tor, will expire this year. Campbell has indicated that she plans to file for her party's .nomination in May. Both Hoffman and Campbell are Republicans. According· to Jane Frymyer, deputy director, at the Meigs County Board of Elections, two Republicans and three Democrats have picked up petitions for the open seat on the County Commission. Petitions of candidacy are available at the Board of Elections Office, said Frymycr, who explained that to get on the May primary ballot a registered voter must secure 50 valid signatures, file it with that office, and pay the $80 filing fee. Signatures must be by those of the s.amc political party or of undeclared status, said Frymyer. Independent candidates for a seat on the commission or the auditor's post have until the day before the May Primary to file petitions. The independents will join the Republican and Democrat Party nominees on the November ballot. Those filing as independents are required to have only 25 signatures on their petition of candidacy. They can be the signatures of any registered voter. Filing deadline is May 4, 4 p.n1. and the filing fee is $80.

Shoemaker By KEVIN KELLY Times-Sentinel Staff GALLIPOLIS - Only when partisan bickeri~g is put aside will legislators come up with a suitable pfan to adequately fund Ohio schools, State Sen. Michael Shoemaker believes. Shoemaker, D-Bourneville, said the state has to look at its $1.2 billion -and growing- surplus in discussions about bringi'llg all schools on a par with wealthier , districts. "A lot of people have difficulty with why we're not spending what we have now," Shoemake• said Friday after announcing his candidacy in Pomeroy and Gallipolis for a new term representing the 17th District. Lawmakers have until March 24 to meet the state Supreme Qlurt's deadline for creating a new school funding system, after the old procedure was found unconstitutional by the high court last year. A plan pulling a state sales tax increase on the ballot was rejected last week. · "We have made allempts to fix it before," ShoemakContlnued on page A2 Only five valid signatures are required on the petition of candidacy but they must be of voters residing in the same precinct as the petitioner.

House starts work on funding backup plan By PAUL SOUHRADA Associated Press Writer COLUMBUS- A conservative group has vowed to blo<:k House plans to take anoihcr crack at a courtordered lix of the state's school-funding system. Unabk to collect the 60 votes , Wednesday to put a proposed constitutional amendment bet'ore voters. the House plans to stan work next week on legislation that would need the support of only 50ofthe99membeis to get the half-cent sales tax increase on the May ballot. Only proposed constitutional amendments have to be approved at least 90 days before an election. Therefore. the move would buy lawmakers an extra couple of weeks to come up with a plan to change the way Ohio pays for public education. Not so fast. says David Zanotti. president of the Solon-based Ohio Roundtable. "The Legislat~re is attempting to subvert the intent of the Constitution." Zanotti said Friday. Zanotti, one of the leaders of the 1992 campaign for term limits and the anti-casino gambling drives of 1990 and 1996, promised a legal challenge if the Legislature goes through with the plan. The group disagrees with the Ohio Supreme Court's ruling against.the currenl funding sys1em. believing it is up to a legislature to decide how schools are funded . Lawmakers are scrambling lo lind a source of money to pay for recently passed legislation that increases the statesubsidyforpubliceducationand spending on things like ali-day kindergarten and smaller class sizes. A half-cent increase in the sales tax -to 5.5 percent -would raise about $550 million a year. The maney wou ld be split between education and property tax cuts lor homeowners. Without the extra money. Gov. George Voinovich has said he will veto large parts of the bill. The court gave the Legislature one year - u'ntil March 24 - to make the funding more equal among districts and ease the reliance on property taxes . House Spe~ker Jo Ann Davidson. R-Reynoldsburg. conceded that the alternative route to the ballot has never been tried before. But she told reporters this week that it is allowed under a 147-year-old section of the Ohio Constitution. The section allows the Legislature to delegate its authority when dealing with education-related subjects- in this case to the voters. That interpretation is incorrect. DON'T THROW SSSSS J\WJ\Y!

"My feeling is that we spent a week talking about it, and made up for that by not doing it very well." Shoemaker, who's been critical of past proposals to fund schools, said majority Republicans and Democrats need to talk seriously about the issue and not blame each other for tax increases or lack of past action to correct the equity problem. "We (Democrats) have been beat. en up on taxes since 1983," Shoemaker noted. "If you look at the commercials that have aired for every political campaign in the state for the last 15 years, they 're all the same.

Ky. -Te mpera· lures hovered around freezi ng Saturday morning as winter-weary Kentuckians linally saw an end to the week's record snowfall. The 22.4 inches of snow that fell in Louisville far surpassed the city's old mark of 15.9 inches in 1994. "Not too many people .like it, but it's just one of those things we have to live with, " said Billy Mcintyre, owner of Judy's Market near Flemingsburg, aboin 65 miles southeast of Cincinnati. A National Guard helicopter crew was ready to carry food to snowbound families Saturday as soon as the weather permiued. A third stormy day Friday brought more snow to hard-hit areas of West Virginia and Kentucky, where at least I0 deaths have been blamed on the stonn. Thousands of people were still without electricity, and driving was dangerous in many areas. Other Eastern states coped with flooding and beach erosion. Across the Ohio River in southern Indiana, as much as 2 feet of snow fell in some areas. In Utica, James and Doris Romans found their house surrounded by water Friday for the second time in less than a year. But this time it was frozen - unlike last March 's Ohio River flood . "Mother Nature is picking on us," Romans said as his wife showed visitors a collection of photos from the flood . "I just don 't understand." Throughout Kentucky, snow depths exceeding a foot were common. New Castle in northern Ken· lucky got buried under 25 inches and Liberty in the south-central part of the state had 24 inches. "The snow is pretty, but it's real- - Daryl Edge, foreground, called to neighbor Jimmy Maddux, background, as he went by his restaurant, Jack's Place, as the Oconee River neared 30 feet over ly devastating. " said National Guard Spc. Kevin Keith. who cut through huge drifts and splintered trees in a Humvee to reach the snowbound in · south-central Kentucky. An estimated 55,000 customers were still without electricity. Nearly 500 National Guard troops were activa(ed Friday to deliver emergency food to those stranded, said Bob Stephens. a state disaster official. A National Guard helicopter was readied today to airlift groceries into hard-hit rural areas of McCreary County i'n southeastern Kentucky. "We believe 50 to 75 families need food ,': Chief Warrant Officer Mike Osborne said Saturday. "As soon as the weather improves, the chopper will be on its way." flood sta.ge in Dublin, Ga. Edge said it was the highest he's seen the river In the 15 years he's been In the area. {AP) He said the helicopter crew would watch for people signalling that they need help, and then lower groceries by rope. . Others left their homes to go to shelters. , '"We didn't have any electric and that's what we heat with, so we came to the shelter," said Shirley Crowe, · who was staying at a National Guard Armory in Ravenna. "We knew we couldn't stay covered up like we were with the quilts." Relief was in sight. Forecasters said the thaw was to begin Saturday, with temperatures expected to reach the 40s today through Wednesday. At least 24 deaths overall were attributed to the Eastern storm since Monday, mostfy in accidents on snowy or icy roads. The snow also continued in West Virginia, with some areas in the cen· tral and southern parts of the state picking up sevc;ml more inches. Heavy, wet snow also has been blamed for knocking out power to more than 105,000 West Virginians since Jan. 27. About 6,800 customers were without power, including 4,900 who lost power from the latest storm. Other states battered by the nor'ea~terearlier this week continued th~ir cl.eanup. Thousands of homeowners in Vir· ginia were out surveying the damage from the storm that thrashed the state for two days. Rain and wind up to 75 mph along thJ: coa~t caused beach erosion, and snow and freezing rain coated the mountains. warnings to Hussein WASHINGTON (AP) - Speaking from the map room where predecessors plotted World War II, President Clinton and British Pnme M1msterTony Blair redoubled warnings of military retaliati on against Iraq . " We Will agam prevail," Clinton declared Saturday. Separately, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl li~ed up behind any U.S.· led military action should diplomatic efforts fail to Ioree Iraq•. Pres~dent Sad· dam Hussein to.comply with United Nations resolutions requmng h1m to open all potential weapons-production sites to international inspectors. . Blair, in Washington for official meetings with Climon and Congress, sa1d "no issue has been more pressing" in those discussions than Saddam's defiance. "This is a man who has already compiled sufficient chemical and biological weapons to wipe out the world's population.... He must be stopped," Blair said. If diplomacy fai.ls "and force is the only way to get h1m mlo hne, then force will be used." It was a theme Clinton and Blair sounded throughout the prime minister's visit. Blair joined Clinton in his weekly radi<> address, taped Friday night in the White House Map Room before the leaders and their wives flew by helicopter to the Camp David presidential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland. Clinton, speaking first, noted that the Map Room was where. more than 50 years earlier, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Win· ston Churchill charted their joint strategy for victory in World War II. "Throughout the 20th ce ntury, the alliance between the United States and Britain made all the difference between tyranny and freedom , chaos and security," Clinton said. " Now we are turning to face the challenges of a new century. And together, we will again prevail." Both leaders pronounced U.S.-British ties unshakable. And while Clinton's .Jast-resort plan for military strikes on Iraq is sharply opposed by Russia, France, China and other countries. Blair assured Clinton on Saturday: " I stand foursquare with you in our determination to bring Saddam into line." Kohl, meeting with Defense Secretary William Cohen and a U.S . Senate delegation in Munich, Germany, said the United States has the " full support" of its European partners and may use German bases in any necessary military operation. In another gesture of so lidarity, eight British ground-attack and reconnaissance aircraft were to be sent to Iraq 's neighboring Kuwait in the coming days. • Cohen, meanwhile, said Saturday I hat one of the United States' three aircraft carriers In the Persian Gulf would be brought home. Pentagon otlicials maintain that two carriers are adequate to support a sustained bombing cam· paign. "If that happens. Britain will be there, as we have been in the past," Blair said. President slams 'unlawful' leaks from probe WASHINGTON (AP) - In a blistering counteroffensive, President Clinton on Friday said secret information from the Monica Lewin· sky investigation was "leaking unlawfully " and his attorney vowed to go to court to puni sh prosecutors. Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr fired back with a let· ter saying the president's attorney has "'no factual basis" to suspect that prosecutors are leaking information. He called the allegatio11 "reckless." Meanwhile, hi s investigators pressed ahead with their probe of an a!leged presidential affair and coverup, reportedly sending FBI agents to PiUsburgh to interview Ms. Lewinsky\ teen-age brother at college. "The leaking by your office has reached an intolerable point," Clinton lawyer David Kendall said in a letter to Starr, accusing prosecutors of an "appalling !lisregard" for provisions in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that prohibit prosecutors from diselosing grand jury testimony and evidence. Kendall's 15-page letter included an 'eight-page . recitation of news reports that he said could have come from Slarr's office. The lawyer said the leaks were part of a pattern of "selectively releasing both infonnation and falsehoolJs in an attempt to pressure. manipulate and intimidate otlice but complained during a White House news conference about those "leaking unlawfully out of the grand jury proceeding." He ~as referring to reports in Friday editions of the New York Times and The Washington Post. The newspapers reported that one day after the president gave a deposition denying he had an affair with Ms. Lewinsky, he summoned his private secretary, Betty Currie, to the White House to discuss her recollection~ about his contacts with the former intern. Kep. John Conyers ~ semor Oem.ocrat on the House Judiciary •Committee, asked Attorney General Janet Reno to investigate whether Starr should be removed or disciplined for "repeated instances of alleged misconduct and abuses of power." Justice Department spokesman Bert Brandenburg said the depart· ment was reviewing Conyers' request. In his news conference, the president declined to provide any new detail about hi s relationship with Ms. Lewinsky or to describe his conversation· with Mrs. Currie.

Germany, Kazakstan, Belarus get wins By LARRY McSHANE NAGANO, Japan (AP) - The sumo wrestlers, their opening ceremony duties complete, stepped aside Saturday as pomp gave way to pucks - and the home team lost its hockey opener - when the Nagano Winter Games kicked off. Japan opened its first Olympics as host country since 1972 with a 41 defeat to Germany in hockey 's preliminary round before a wildly partisan crowd. And a pair of fonner Soviet republics made their Olympic hockey debuts with victories, one over the French team now headed by U.S. "Miracle on Ice" coach Herb Brooks. In contrast with the high-pow- ered opening spectacular hours earlier, the Nagano Games began with four hockey games lacking in NHL star power. The professional hockey players arrive next week for the first time ever in the! Olympics. Yet the absence of Wayne Gretzky and Brett Hull failed to dampen enthusiasm at the first day's events. In addition to the Gennany-Japan game, former Soviet republics Kazakstan anct Belarus made their Olympic hockc~ debuts with victories over Italy and France. Eight teams are competing for two slots in the next round. The games pick up momentum today (Saturday night EST), with . competition set in the men's down- hill, cross-country skiing and snowboarding. The first four medals of the games were on the line, with the powerful Austrian Alpine skiers including World Cup leader Hermann ~aier - hitting the slopes.

YORK (AP) - This should be an All-Star game to remember, a crossroads event with ·subplot upon subplot in the media . capital of the world. Michael Jordan in his "la,t'' AllStar game vs. Kobe Bryant in his first. : The league c lders vs. the tod dlers. Grumpy George Karl vs. laidback Larry Bird. · The slam-dunk contest vs. 2-ball. It even has the David Stern vs. Latreil Sprewell sideshow. "Ir's going to be fun.l can't wait. Talk about your emotions and adrenaline'" said Bryant, the 19· year-old Lakers reserve voted by fans into the starting lineup for the Western Conference as the youngest NBA All-Star ever. The game, which tips off today at 6:38 p.m. EST, look s like it may have some of the pizzazz that was missing the last couple of years in humdrum contests in the too-big Alamodome in San Antonio and the silent Gund Arena in Cleveland. · The New York Knicks' Madison Square Garden is known as the mecca of basketball and the game hasn't been in the Big Apple since 1968. Some 1,817 media credentials have been issued, scalpers have been demanding more than $1 ,000 for the best scats and even the players seem to be looking forward to it inste,ld of secretly dreading the lost vacation time. " It's going to be very exciting, given all the young players who have made the team, " Jordan said. "Most of the old guys and some of the old faces have gone. It 's like the changing of the times." The East and West rosters feature players from different generations. There are elders in Jordan, K'arl Malone, David Robi nson and Reggie Miller; youngsters in Bryant, rookie Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Antoine Walker; and three gen. erations of 'tweeners : the Jason Kidd-Nick Van Excl -Yin Baker types; the slightly older Grant HillPenny Hardaway-Shaqui lle O'Neal set; and the early 30s Shawn Kemp· Glen Rice-Milch Richmond crew. Among the "old faces" Jordan was talking about arc Patrick Ewing of New Ymk (an 11 -time All-Star); Charles Barkley (II), Hakcem Olajuwon ( 12) and Clyde Drexler ( 10), all of Houston: John Stockton of Utah (9); and Scottie Pippen (7) ofChicago. . Injurie s and diminished vote totals kept all of them from making this year's cut, leaving their formerly automatic roster spots open to some of the league 's most exciting newcomers. Jordan and Utah's Malone arc the oldest veterans on the All-Star team , and the seven first-timers arc : Bryant , Van Excl, Duncan, Walker, Steve Smith, Rik Smits and Jay son Williams.

(AP) - ·It's a golden anniversary in more ways than one for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. That cumbersome title is what a small group of men . came up with as the name for a new stock car sanctioning body formed during a meeting at the Streamline Hotel in December 1947. Two months later, they incorporated into what today is a billion-dollar business known as NASCAR. · At the head of the table that day was the tall , imposIng figure of local garage operator and race promoter William Henry Getty France, who asked some of his friends and business associates to take part in the historic meeting. · France knew that a sport with charlatan promoters who skipped town with the ticket' money and no real schedule or organization was not going to grow and prosper. He also saw the possibilities if those problems could be overcome. From the now-lost minutes of that meeting, one ' quote has survived.

" I believe stock car racing can become a nationally recognized sport." How right Big Bill was. · Through his own hard work and force of will and spirit, the late founder of NASCAR and the man who built Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, made big-time stock car racing a reality and then a phenomenon. Now Bill France Jr., aided by younger brother Jim; Bill's daughter, Lesa France Kennedy; and son Brian France, are overseeing what national magazines have dubbed •'th.e fastest growing sport in the world." They are the top players in International Speedway Corp., a publicly traded company that owns NASCAR and operates a half-dozen race tracks. MQI'e than 170,000 fans will show up for the seasonopening Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 15 as NASCAR celebrates its 50th anniversary. A national1V audience expected in the tens of millions will watch the live flagto-flag broadcast of the $7 million event on CBS. Throughout the season that will run until mid· November. the Winston Cup circuit will make stops at a variety ·of major league racing facilities from coast to coast, all with paved tracks and amenities early participants and spectators wouldn't have dreamed of. After a season of modified events, the first "strictly stock" NASCAR race, the forerunner to the modern Winston Cup competition, was on June 19, .1949, at Charlotte, N.C., Speedway, a three-quarter mile dirt oval on land now bisected by Interstate 77. David Allison, who now runs a used truck business on part of the land where his home and the racetrack once stood, was there that day as a 13-year-oid. · "Everybody in the family was involved," he said, "My mom fed all the drivers . They all drove their race cars here and nobody had any money. They'd sleep up here on the ground because my mom said it was the safest place." Allison smiles broadly when he recalls that first race day. "We didn't sleep all night," he said. "We were preparing the track, watering it to keep the dust down. We put.calcium on it, ·but it stili didn't work. When the cars gdt on it, it was like a bomb hit. My daddy wound up painting every house in the neighborhood because they were threatening lawsuits." · One thing hasn't changed· since that first opening day. ·'People began showing up at6 o'clock (in the morning) .and we were trying to keep them out," Aili•on said. "We had people in all the tree s and the traffic getting out after the race was unbelievable. Nobody had ever seen any\hing like it." The race, the forerunner of thousands to follow , was competitive and controversial. Glenn Dunnaway took the checkered flag but was disqualified for beefing up the rear springs of what France said had to be a "strictly stock " car. That gave the first NASCAR win to Jim Roper, who barely beat Fonty Flock and Red Byron. Only the first 20 positions in the. 33-car race were scored because ·the dust was so bad nobody could keep tracl( of the slower cars.

Remembe r a few years ago when a rookte by (he name of Grant Hill recetved more votes to the game than Mtchael Jordan ? Naturall y, Bryant's tncluswn in the game mea ns a more deservmg player ts left off the roster That 's the negattve stdc of populanty Many tans don 't reahze that some players struggle for years to make thts game Rod Stnckland, who tS leadtng the league tn asststs, and Denms Rodman, who ts leadmg the league tn rebounds, arc left off because of this Jnequtty Penny Hardaway, who has been inJured for most of the year, was voted a starter He should do the proper thmg and let Stnckland go tn hts place Penny 's populanty wuh the fans w1ll guarantee that he will be there for years to come. Stnckland, who carnes the label of a troublemaker and deserves to go. Will' once agatn be the bndesmatd I really don 't believe Sean Kemp deserves to be on. lhts year's team. But smce he's a recogntzable playe r who pl ayed for Seattle last year, he 's garnished votes from the east and west to wm a startmg posuion tn thts year's game • Look at the year Glenn Robmson had m Mtlwaukee. But all-star weekend wtll find htm at home during the break Players from smai) market teams, who are not voted as starters, don 'I have a chance to make the team without maJor endorsement contracts Personally, I thought Rodman, Robmson and Brian Wtlliams were more deservmg than Kemp. A few years ago, B.J. Annstrong, then a member of the Chicago Bulls, made the team Reggte Mtller, averaging 20 pomts a game for t~e Pacers, stayed at home. 1 believe if someone had called Chtcago and offered to trade Miller for Armsirong, th e Bulls would have Jumped m a second at the opportunity.

" I guess I seem like the oldest· one who is still around who made the transi tion ." The East brings a two-game winning streak into the game. Jordan needs to score 41 points to break Kareem -Abdul Jabbar's caree r AllStar game sco ring record of 251 points. Jordan ·s average of 21.1 points in I0 All -Star games is the highest in league history. It may he his last All-Star game .

The leag ue ha s the right to reopen the co ll ect ive barga inin g agreement with the players union, and many agents and team personnel expect a lockout to begin July I and carry into the fall , threatening the start of next season. Perhaps not coincidentally, none of the league's troublemak.crs arc around for the weekend's festivities. Dennis Rodman, on his way to an unprecedented seventh co nsecutive rebounding title, was not voted in by the fans or the Eastern Conference coaches. He will be partying in Los Angeles and Las Vegas over the break. Chiis Webber and Rod Strickland of Washington, both of whom have been in trouble with the Jaw, weren't voted in. And the All-Cornrow team of Allen Iverson. Rasheed Wallace and Sprewell will be elsewhere, too. The biggest malcontent may be West coach Karl. Despite winning an ave rage of more than 60. ga mes over the past four seaso ns, Karl has been left hanging by Seattle management in his quest to get a contract extension.

" To be honest, Yun-Fat doesn't have to say very much; his character is the strong, silent type who does most of his talking with twin pistols a-blazing. Yun-Fat plays Chinese immigrant John Lee, forced to be an assassin for a powerful Los Angeles mobster. The gangster has threatened to harm Lee's family back home if he doesn't comply. Lee is willing to do two "jobs" for the gangster, because the victims are criminals. He balks, though, when ordered to kill a police officer, especially when he discovers the cop is a family man. Thus, the gangster is forced to bring in "replacement killers," and he adds Lee to his list of targets. Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino· costars as a passport forger who inad· vertently becomes Lee 's accomplice, as they flee both the hoodlums and rhe cops. The script by Ken Sanzel is effective, lean device upon which first· time director Antoine Fuqua builds high -energy action several, sequences, including a wild shoot· out in a car wash. Fuqua, an award-winning music video director, is clearly influenced by the son of violently operatic, highly stylized Hong Kong action films that first made Yun-Fat a star abroad. Fuqua dido 't have to go far for advice; among his film's producers is · John Woo, the greatest of the Hong Kong filmmakers. Woo'directed Yun-Fat in "A Better Tomorrow," "The Killer" and " HardBoiled." Yun-Fat is a tall, handsome man, whose laconic style and fluid movement may remind filmgoers of a Section BEAUTIFUL WHITE DIAMOND PENDANTS 1997. For each farm, ihe 1998 basic quota will decrease 9 percent from 1997.

"Here in the Western Hemisphere, more than 30 bilateral and regional trade agreements are in operation. The Unoted States os involved in one - NAFfA . As we debate and deliberate on the merits ofjust talk- ing with other natoons. European and Japanese negotiators are signing sweetheart deals woth our tradong partners in South Amenca. We're beong cut out of our own backyard." At the same meeting where Kleckner gave his address. farmer-delegates from each slate voted to suppon the so-called fast-track trade negoto aling aulhonly and urged Presodent Clmton to aggressovely and quockly pursue fa-t -track legoslation Why should farmers care about fast-track legislation? As Kleckner put it. the United Stales must refrain from pursuong isolatoonost trade policies. Thos country cannot expect to gaon access to foreogn markets of it restn<.:ts adonossion to its own. It's impon;ont to undersJand exacl•ly what fast-track authority would do - and wouldn't do. Fast-track merely gives the pre sident the authonty to nt!gutlate treaties: congress would stoll have to ratify any negotiated agn:t:mcnt.

"I want to see small farms grow and prosper and get ahead. not JUSt sur- (George Anthan writes for The Des Moines Register.) ,, VIVe. I The 30-member commission. appoonted la't summer by Glickman. made 146 recommendations on ways to bolster small farms. The panel held 10 meetings around the country on the future of farms grossing less than $250.000 a year and primarily run by families. "A way of life in America. a valuable segment of our economy, is at risk." said panel chairman Harbld Volkmer, a former Democratic congressman from Missouri. "II is now tinfe to act" Although 94 percent of America's 2 million farms til this definition, they receive only 41 percent of all farm receipts. · The commossoon lound that mo' t prolils in agriculture are earned by companies that process food and sell products such a,, fertilizer to farmers As a result. the share of agriculture income receoved today by farmers os one-quarter what tl was all he turn ol the century.

"The domonant tre'nd is few, large. vertically integrated tirrns control long the majority of food and fiber prod· ucts in an increasingly global pro· cessing and distribution system," the commission found. Many farm eKperts say this trend means more efficient food production and lower prices for consumers, but the commission said that doesn't take into account the environmental dam age caused by large livestock operations and the lock of competition. Some recommendations by the commission: -Ensure levels of spendong on research and credit are high enough , in programs targeted toward family farms . Research should ' focus on least costly wars of farmong and those that rcquore lower capual Investment. - Promote more market access for tanners. oncludmg development of farmer-owned cooperatives and more regoonal markets Happy Bl" rthday Kel"th 1 "Nifty 50" Once in a lifetime A t person mee s S · I omeone as specta as Keilh A Sheets 0 Tho, Feb. 9th he turns 5 Yes, he keeps it well hid Most of us stili thin!< of him as a big loveable kid. · Think of him tonight when you say your Now 1 Lay Me Down to Sleeps To know him is to love him Mr. Keith A.

And the new flexibility happened without a lot of legislative sturm und drang. Most came about through an evolution of thought in oversoghl agencoes. "'Thrift charters have been made flexible by regulatory interpretation at the OTS. wothout much controversy," said Ely. "You can see ot in interstate branching and in consumer protection . Thos is a case where a regulatory agency has played a classoc role of modernizing. and where Congress has played a classoc role of playing catch-up. puttong ots stamp of approval on something that already has taken place "A lot of eyes have opened sonce 1988. with people recognizong the thrift charter has some very onteresting powers that allow more umform operations across the country - a lot more so than commercoal bank charters " Strategies envosooned by the applicant tirms as vehicles for combining all these tinancoal services vary. The Hanford insurance group. for example, wishes somply to create a new tederal savongs bank in its headquarters town and name it The Hartford Bank. Others have a more involved bustness plan. For onstance, Jackson National Lofe Insurance Co. of Lansing.

"The governor has said that we should put this before the voter.; and have a debate about taking education to another level in Ohio," Dawson told the Enquirer for a story Sunday.

For the sales-tax issue, the institute conducted a random telephone poll of 605 registered Ohio voters from Jan. 20 through last Tuesday. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. In a random telephone poll of 839 voting and nonvoting adults in Ohio, 34 percent said education was the most important problem facing Ohio. No other issue had double-digit support. Nine percent said the state's most pressing problem was the economy and at\othe~9 percent said it was crime.

REED S8ntinel News Staff : It's not a subject that people like to think about. but it's an expense that e-Yeryone will face - the expense of · liurial. · The industry ha' changed in recent years, with an emphasis on pre-planning and an openness about costs. Like virtually every other business, the funeral industry has also become more openly competitive, with large chains popping up in bigger cities and a variety of choices when it comes to purcha~ing funeral-related merchandise. More people of all ages and financial condition are opting for pre-planning. which takes various forms . The most common type of pre-planning is a burial trust fund, which can b'e arranged through a funeral home. Under such a plan, a consumer may make a lump-sum payment or a series of installment payments toward their funeral expenses, while guaranteeing a price. "It's like freezing time," Ben Ewing of Ewing Funeral Home in Pomeroy said. "Once the determined price is paid in full to ·the trust, the price is guaranteed." Such a plan guarantees that. regardless of the time of death, the price will be guaranteed at the amount deposited in the trust. In other words. if $5.000 is placed in the pre-planning account. the funeral ·expenses will not exceed $5.000. regardless of the funeral home charges or merchandise costs at the time of death . Local fun~ral directors encourage pre-planning, even though at times, they must take a loss of costs because of increasing prices. Funeral director> in the area also agree that ·;comparison shopping" before ·need is a good idea. Bruce Fisher, president of Fisher Funeral Homes in Middleport and Pomeroy. cites the "value" to the consumer of prearranging. "It's important that the consumer know that this is their money, deposited in a policy in their name." Fisher said. "The funeral home ha~ no direct access to the funds and the family can choose which funeral home to use, regardless of where the trust was started." While in metropolitan areas. the funeral industry has become highly competitive. prices for ba,ic funeral services in Meigs County vary from f~neral home to funeral home by a few hundred dollars. not including the costs of merchandise such as caskets and vaults. Basic services include embalming. use of the funeral home and ·staff, vehicles and administrative services.

The cost of a vault, required by many cemeteries, the opening and closing of the grave · and oiher direct costs place the estimated average funeral to over $5.000. Both Ewing and Fisher agree that consumers should carefully consider what they're looking for in terms of service before deciding which funeraJ home and which services they want to use .. · "It's important to look at value," Fisher said. "If a family is forced to make a decision at the time of death. they can get in trouble." Fisher refers to costly decisions made in haste when a loved one dies. "1 believe these decisions should be made before someone is sick or before they die, and it's very imporIantto be an educated consumer." F!sher said he encourages people to familiarize themselves with funeral costs before the need arises, so as to avoid "sticker shock." The Federal Tmde Commission requires funeral directors to itemize costs and to make those costs available to consumers. Gone are the days when a funeral director included all costs in a "tlat fee," according to Ewing. Now, each element of the funeral home's services are itemized on a cost bill, which must be made available to any consumer upon request. In addition to money matters, Fisher points out that outlining final arrange01ents is an emotional boost for the surviving family. In addition io preplanning costs. Fisher encourages consumer> to provide their fumilies with a ba.sic outline of their wishes. . A project designed to stop erosion along the Ohio River in Pomeroy is now in the hand• of the Ohio EPA to determine if the project will harm water quality. According to Nancy Pedigo of the Ohio Department of Transportation, rock is to be placed along the bank just south of the intersection at Kerr's Run to Kroger, a lengtl't of about 1,700 feet. The project has already been approved by the Huntington District . of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The rock would be installed to prevent bank erosion which is undermining U.S. Route 33- Main Street. The project would also require dredging almost 5.000 cubic yards from the river so that the rock can be keyed into the river. Shifting and subsidence due to erosion of the bank has caused repeated damage to the street. According to the EPA's Division of Surface Water, discharge resulting from the project would lower water quality. Pedigo said Thursday that the decrease in water quality would be temporary, and would be caused by residue or other qualities of the rock to be installed. Certain gr•des of "ripmp," as the process is commonly known, must be used on a project such as the one OOOT is proposing for Pomeroy, so that water quality is not harmed. · The project is considered an emergency project, and bidding on the work has been waived. No contrac' tor ha< yet been hired to perform the work, but will be hired once the DSW issues the necessary permits. Work on the project i.~ expected to begin in the spring, and will take an esti mated four months to complete. Starting Tuesday, copies of the application for permits will be avai lable for inspection at the EPA in Columbus. The EPA will review that application, focusing on the issue of water quality degmdation before approving OOOTs request. according to an EPA public notice.
