Hollister again outlined her plan to use additional money from tbe Appalachian Regional Commission and matching state transporta,tion dollars to help complete five southeastern Ohio highway projects -including the Ravenswood Connector, Athens-to-Darwin, U.S. 35 in change (Chesapeake Bypass) in Lawrence County and accelerating the completion of U.S. .SO from Athens to Coolville. Pend.ing Congressional approval of President Clinton's proposed highway legislation, dubbed NEX- , TEA for the National Economic Crossroads Transportation Efficiency Act, Hollister said her plan would use an anticipated increase in ARC dollars under the proposal to lever. state funds. age matehmg The combined dollars would then be used to complete southeastern Ohio highway projects included under a proposed redesignation of a portion of the Ohio Appalachian corridor in Scioto County suggested in the 1960s. She proposed a meeting of officials representing all the counties affected by the proposal. 'It is a proposal; it is a long way from becoming a fait accompli," she explained. respond to revamped funding formula Continued from page A1 Ohio Lottery r~venues earmarked for schools, whtch Well sa1d represents three ~rcent of the $3,800 his dtstnct rece1ves per student m state foundation money.

"This is throwing money at the prospect of a fair and efficient 'education ·for our children. We need to have some accountability for programs, rather than throwing money at the problem." MEIGS LOCAL While the Meigs Local School District stands to benefit over a million dollars in the next fiscal year, .Supt. Bill Buckley says that the majority of any new money will be targeted for specific programs. "Any time they come up with money like that, there are strings attached to it," said Buckley, "like expanding the kindergarten program to all day, every day, reducing class size, and starting summer remediation programs. "It's a good idea, but where are we going to come up with the classrooms or money to do anything about that. Currently we have only four rooms in the district that are not being used. It just doesn't solve the problems. "As for summer remediation,:_ Buckley said, "we're told the money will pay for the classroom program. What I want to know is who's going to pay for the transportation to get students to the pr~gram?" . About class SIZe reductiOn, the superintendent again pointed to l_ack of classroom space, as well as dtfficulty in recruiting qualified teachers. He explained that the equity program now in place is being phased out over the ne<t four years. He said disadvantaged pupil impact aid is. going down as families move from welfare to work, and that special education funding while allocated now on a per pupil basis is moving to a unit basis which will result in a reduction in funding. He said that the new formula for vocational programs is changing and could be a 'killer" for the Meigs Vocational School because of the change in funding allocation from a unit to per pupil basis. Buckley said he is notsureasales tax is the answer to the money problems of schools and tends tb lean toward the position of the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding in opposing the tax. . The problems of books, buses · and building repairs in Meigs Local won't be relieved by any of this, he said, and predicted that come November a renewal of the permanent improvements levy will be back on the ballot. SOUTHERN LOCAL While the expected increase in state funding in Meigs and Eastern "local districts is estimated at more than 13 percent each> Southern ' Local Schools are eying an increase of only 6.7 1 percent, or $!44,994.

At this point, Scioto CQunty has , only a "line o.n a map,' said State Representative John Carey (R•Welfston). Hollister agreed: 'There is no paper... nothing, but they do have a legitimate request. Let's bring all the counties together and see what comes·out." John Haseley, chief of staff for Congressman Ted Strickland (D• Lucasville), cautioned there would be opposition from Scioto County, opposition that may discourage .the ARC from redesignating the funds, .

By ROBERT WEEDY Many years ago a program would come on the radio with the opening: "Ah, ·there's good news tonight." There arc not a few in America who would. I'm sure. like to see thi ~ type of news program more often. The 'News' has bec'omc overpowering in the tragedies of life, conditi ons of depravity, man's inhumanity to man. Yet, it is interesting to observe the relationship that can occ ur between good news and bad news: -· Karla Faye Tucker was convicted of murder in the brutal slayings she took part in while under the innuencc of drugs. While in prison her life was radically changed through a conversion experience and her case became known to millions. Although she paid the supreme penalty through lethal injec tion in February. many were .impacted for good by her new life and testimony. This was the good news. -· Chuck Colson, a brilliant ntlorncy and counselor to President Nixon, was convicted for his part in the Watergate cover-up and spcnl time in pri son for his misdeeds.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan won wide praiSe mit1all y for hi s miSSIOn to Baghdad to hrnkcr a deal with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. But he is comin g under mounting criticism from skeptical congressional Republicans. . Senate Majority Leader Trent Loll even snubbed Annan publicly earlier this week and asserted: "I cannot understand ""Ythe Cli nton administration would place trust in someone devoted to building a 'human relationship' Se n. Jesse Helms. chairman of th<> Senate Foreign Relations Commillec, said Annan "gave away the store." So what else is new ? The United Nations has never been a popubr institution on Capitol Hill , especially among conservatives. That 's one reason the United Stales is about $1 billion in arrears in its dues to the world organ tzation. The U.N. chief has often been an easy target. After all, Annan's prcdc· cessor. Boutros Boutros-Ghali of Egypt, was widely denounced by Republicans. President Clinton's 1996 rival. Bob Dole. repeatedly invoked hi s name with scorn on the presidential campaign traii. · Boutros-Ghali ultimately lost Clinton's support. and Annan, of Ghana, was elected in late 1996 after the United States vetoed Boutros-Ghali for a iecond term . : Republicans have long accused Clinton of surrendering U.S. autonomy over its troops to the secretary -ge neral. . A year ago. Cl inton promised Annan that the White House would pay the u.s. arrears, including $819 million in past dues and $107 million in "debt forgiveness." but they remain unpaid. . , The ~819 million was blocked last fall as part of a congressional dispute over an .. nti -abortion proposaL And Helms, R-N.C., recently asserted that \he payments would remain on hold. He accused the administration of reneging -on a deal that linked the repayment with pushing for U.N. reforms. Until the aftermath of his Baghdad trip. Annan had generally drawn good reviews from Democrats and Republicans alike. A career bureaucrat, the soft -spoken Annan developed a reputation for Jead1n g by consens us rather than coercion. Many world leaders urged him lo make the trip to Baghdad to negotiate a deal to avert U.S. military action. Three nations - France, Canada and Qatar - even offered him planes. The acco rd he struck - in. which Saddam offered to open up eight soca lled presidential sites to weapons impectors, but with conditions - was hesitan tly accepted by Clinlon and won general international plaudits. Bu1 then Annan 's trouble with congressional Republicans began. Returning in triumph to the Uniled Nattons. Annan was asked if he could trust Saddam to keep his word and he said. "I think I can do business with him. I think he. was serious.·· · _; PageA4 . · '· .

(AP) Matthew Beck was a changed man when he returned to work at state lot· tery headquarters from a four-month , stress-related leave. ntchange was not for the better. When the 35-year-old accountant came back Feb. 25, he wouldn' ttalk. He was mad at the world. He seemed paranoid . Some co-workers were afraid of him. "He wasn'tthe same Matt," said Karen Kalandyk. his supervisor. " He was like talking to a stone ." On Friday. the stone crumbled. About 30 minutes after reporting for work. Beck pulled out a semiautomatic handgun and began shooting hi s bosses. When he was finished. four supervisors were dead. He then killed himself. Beck killed with a calculated coldness, first walking into the office of information serv ices chief Michael Logan. He shot Logan and stabbed him with a butcher knife. He then shot chief financial officer Linda Mlynarczyk , 38, and Rick Rubelmann , 40. vice president of operations. Then he chased lottery chief Otho Brown into a gravel parking lot. Brown. 54, stumbled and fell on his back. He had his hands up and was begging "Don't kill me. don't kill me," a law enforcement source said. Beck told him, " Aw, shut up," and shot him. the source said. Moments earlier, Beck had walked into a room where Mlynar· czyk, 38, sat waiting to meet with him. Kalandyk, who was in the room, said Beck raised hi6 gun, poinled it at Mlynarczyk and told her, "Bye, bye" before shooting her three times . . Since his return ·to work, Kalandyk said. Beck's cold, aloof manner and his fascination with guns and .Paintball frightened some coworkers·. · His personal problems began more than 18 months ago. Beck. a Florida Institute of Tech· nology gniduate who had worked for state government for eight years, con· tended he got a bad deal in July 1996 when supervisors shifted him from number-crunching at the lottery agency to testingcomputer software. He wanted back pay, contending he should have been paid more for the computer job than his accountant's sa lary. Beck; a fanner security guard, had a permit to carry a gun. Within the past year he had moved in with his father, who acknowledged his son " had problems." A blue sticker on their front door reads: "Warning: Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again." But Peter Donahue, a lottery accountant, said Beck gave no hint of his murderous plan when he showed up for work Friday. "I saw him ~orne in and hang up his coat." he said. " He seemed OK when I saw him.

Iraq (APl-A U.N. team led by an American at the heart o( the last Iraqi crisis went into the field Saturday for a second day of inspections, searching for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Officials at the Iraqi Press Center banned reporteis from covering Scott Ritter's activities. They did not say why the ban was imposed. An official with the U.N. Special Commission confirmed that Ritter's team toured Sites today but would not _give details of the eKpected destina· lions. In January. the Iraqis accused Ritter of being a spy and of including too many American and British inspectors on his teams . They then prevented him from working by denying him necessary iraqi escorts. and he left the coun1ry without completing his work. Iraq 's refusal to open presidential sites to inspection prompted the United States to move troops and warships to the Gulf and to threaten military strikes. U.N. Secretary-General Koti Annan brokered a deal Feb. 23 to ease the crisis. At U.N. headquarters in New York on Friday. Annan was consid.ering a Russian request to appoint a Russian to a key position on the commission that overseas the weapons inspections. That would give Russia- Iraq's ·strongest supporter'on the Security Council- an important role in managing the inspection program. The U.S. ambassadar to the United Nations.

(AP) - A Navy helicopter crashed in the rugged San Bernardino mountains during a training night, killing the five -member crew. The Navy planned to recover the bodies and wreckage from the remote site this morning. The unarmed SH-60B Seahawk aircraft took otT for a routine training mission Friday from the North Island Naval Air Station on Coronado west of San Diego and was headed to Las Vegas. Navy Lt. j.g. Charlie Brown said. Air traftic controllers lost contact with the crew an hour into the night. The wreckage wasn't found until tive hours later as search crews ·were hindered by fog. The crash site was just outside of Crestline. 65 miles east of Los Angeles, at the 5.000-footlevel of the San Bernardino Mountains. Navy officials did not immediately release name s of the crew.

It also calls for the creation of a special committee of U.N. diplomats and inspectors that will look at eight presidential .compounds. Pentagon ofticials have said that the 38,000 U.S. troops in the Gulf will remain to ensure that the Baghdad regime complies with the AnnanAziz agreement. Ritter's inspections began Friday. when he led his team through three suspected weapons sites classified as "sensitive" by the Iraqi authorities. U.N. Special Commission spokesman Alan Dace~ said. So-called sensitive sites include Iraqi ministries and the headquarters of intelligence and military operations. At least one of the sensitive sites visited Friday was a barracks of the elite Republican Guard, a source told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Previously the lmqis have resisted attempt~ to inspect such quarters. Ritter is accompanied by 50 inspectors and is eKpected to spend a week in Baghdad. U.N. officials in New York said.

NCAA to begin pairing · s election for men's cagefest Thursday • By DOUG TUCKER KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Syracuse fell. Then Maryland took a tumble. A short time later, UCLA dropped like a rock. Chaos was threatening to engulf the NCAA tournament. The reason? Faulty adhesive tape. · While choosing, seeding and bracketing the 64-team lield every year, the NCAA's selection committee spends a weekend moving teams around on big poster boards, searching with a diamond-cutter's caution for just the right match ups in just the right places at just the right times. It's all done with such reverence and care that only one person known as " the traffic cop" - is authorized to touch .the boards or move lhe teams. Formrr NCAA staffer Dave Cawood recalled the incident I 0 years ago when, to the committee's horror, the names sudd~nly began falling to the floor. "It Wi!S, crazy," he said. "Here we were· .trying so hard to be efficient, and ~e teams just kept falling off the board." As the traffic cop, Cawood was the only person authorized to even pick the team names off the noor and stick them back. · The next year, the committee used dependable Velcro. This year's traffic cop is longtime NCAA staffer Bill Hancock. "He's tile only one who touches that board ." committee chairman C.M. Newton said. "We have committee members as well as NCAA staff who make s.urc our principles are followed, like if somebody had a game i~ the regular season and we 've got them paired off. We're all alert to things like that. " But when a team is moved on the board, or put up there , or removed, only Bill can do it." , And traffic cop Hancock stands at the intersection of happiness and heartbreak for many fans. From Thu"day night until Sunday afternoon, the committee weighs, analyzes and scrutinize s. Decisions are made that spell the difference between a successful season or a bust, between a team having a decent chance or very little hope of reaching the Final Four. Contrary to popular opinion, the committee's job is not to select the best 64 teams . It 's to select the best 34 that did not gain automatic entry by winning one of 30 confere nce tournaments. Then they break the 64-team field down to what amounts to four 16-team tournaments : the East, West, Midwest and South regionals. Each is seeded I through 16 - four No. I seeds, four No. 2 seeds, etc. Throughout the process. the committee, through Hancock, is constantly fiddling with the boards.

Yes, why don't I just rub it in while I can? The most frequently-asked question as we returned to Rio Grande was: "Will you do this again next year?" It was so appropriate to have a history-making day for my History of Sports clas: .. What the Pace rs did in that game was trul y remarkable. It was the fi rst time in NBA history that a team doubled the score on its opponent. The Blazers, who had just beaten the Bulls in Chicago two days earlier, only scored 59 points. Even if the Pacers' starters hadn 't scored a point, Portland would have still lost the game. Scoring 124 points was a high point for the Pacers this year. The Pacers had been kind enough to offer us a tou of their operations. Some of the stories of the old days we re of great interes . Today 's fans don 't realize what a shoestring operation the NBA was in the arly '80s. I remember every car wash business in the India polis area having "Save Our Pacers" days. All of the profits from these d s went to the Pacers to keep them in town . Afterward, the multi-million ire Simon brothers bought the tea m. Muncy hasn't been a problem since t ey entered the picture. One Pacers employee told us a story about not having towels for an exhibition game, and how they chased down a towe l service truck on the street to trade fi ve tickm fo r the game for two arms· full of towels. Today, the organization is building a new field house to play its games. Times have ce rtainly ch1nge d fo r the NBA. Now players make millions of dollars and fans come from southeastern Ohio just to sec a game. I really enjoyed seeing Vice President and General Manager Donnie Walsh behind his desk, looking important. He was almost as impressive as the three ABA championship trophies and Larry Bird's desk. One student gave me a letter to give to Bird; unfortunately for her, she spell ed Bird wrong. No, Catherin e, it's not Byrd . I am sure Larry will write to her after he gets done laughing. It was also nice of Thorpe Miller and his boss to give us all free promotional items. I was fortunate, along with a few others, to win an additional prize for answering a trivia question. . They treated us well and it was greatly appreciated: I may not teach this class again next year, but another trip shouldn 't be out of the question. Thanks to all those commun ity members who decided to join us for the day. It 's also nice to sec tournament days return to the high school and college game. March Madness is back, but it doesn't seem lo be as exciting as the past. I tend to disagree with Dick Vitale when he insists that North Carolina 's Antawn Jamison is the best college basketball player in the country. It 's Tennessee's Chamique Holdsclaw. She led the Lady Vols to an NCAA championship last year and is on the path to repeat that accomplishment again. Tennessee is 33-0 and hasn'I been challenged in any of its games. They have also played all of the top women's teams. It 's a shame for Vanderbilt to be one of the top ladies' programs in the country, but second in the state of Tennessee. It has to be deflaling to lose to this team on a regular basis. In the past I I years, the Lady Vols have won five national championships. This year, they can make, history by being the fi rst team to win three straight titles. Tennessee coach Pat Summitt has an ·incredible 55-11 record in lhe NCAA tournament, with 16 straight appearances. If she was coaching a men's team, she would be on the cover of every sportS magazine in the country. . While you're watching the race to the fi nal four, remember to tum the · channel and pay some attention to the women's game. You' ll have a chance to witness history in th e making. Just like the Columbus Quest as they march to their second straight ABL title. Sam Wilson, Ph.D. ,Is an associate professor of history at the Unlvenslly of Rio Grande.

Outdoors .. Maret! 8, f998 A/on the River Growing deer herds push ·urban.itt;!s to hire sharpshooters By CAROL JOUZAITIS USA TODAY CENTREVILLE, Va.- To animal rights activists, it'-s a cruel and politically incorrect vestige of caveman days. To sportsmen, it's an opportunity to extend the hunting season, bag a couple of white-tail deer a"d restock the freezer with venison. But to many homeowners and motorists, who once shuddered at the thought of shooting Bambi in their backyards. the urban deer hunt has become a necessary evi l for thinning burgeoning deer herds that cause mischief and mayhem on suburban lawns and roadways. In many deer--.turated states in the East and Midwest, game wardens and town counci ls are hiring professional sharpshooters or rounding up bands of experienced hunters t.o reduce white -tail herds that are to~mi n g through urban parks and f6rest preserves and residential areas. And surprising ly. residents in many suburbs and some cities aren 'I r~sisting . As recently as I 0 years ago, the concept of stalking deer in metropolitan parks and neighborhoods was practically unheard of. But no longer. Although deer arc still scarce in some ·parts of the West. the critters arc so abundant elsewhere that pe ople have begun view ing them as a threat to public health and safety . "The publ> c se ntiment toward hunts is changing," said Rick Story, v>cc president of the Wildlife Legislative Fund, a conservationi st gro up in Co lumbu s, Ohio. " The very people who used to sc ream bloody murder about 'killing deer now consider them long -legged rats.•• "II' s a hot issue," said Stuart Mendelsohn, county board member in Fairfax. County, Va. At public meetings, "vi rtually every hand goes up when I ask how many people have a friend or family member'· who has nearly hit a deer on the-road. Urban deer hunts are tightly managed for safety reasons. In densely populated areas, the shoots are typica lly confined to large , wooded areas where participants. garbed in neon orange, are limited in number. "S hooting lanes" are marked with bright ribbons so bullets aren't fired toward houses or people. Hunters must be li censed and usually must prove they're proficient with firearm s. In some places, on ly bow-and-arrow hunting is allowed. Archers use "tree stands" to shoot from an el'evated level. If they miss, the arrow hits the ground. Hunters keep the venison or give it to the needy. Not so long ago, wi ldlife experts fretted that the prized whnc-tail wa.s becoming extinct. Since the turn of the century , when the U.S. white-tail population dwindled to 350,000, hunting regulations and conser vation programs have been phenomenally succ essful at restoring the species. Today, wildlife experts esti mate that between 15 million and 25 million white-tail roam the country. The co mebac k has been most dramatic since the 1960s, thanks to dwindlin g predators and rampant suburbanization. Sprawling home developments, office parks and golf courses have shrunk available lands for hunting, while providing hungry deer a leafy cafeteria. Among the places holding deer hunts: - Ohio established "urban deer zones" in 1994. Since then, more than 40,000 deer have been killed around Cincinnati, Cle ve'land, Akron, Dayton, Youngstown and Columbus. Hunters who purchase $10 permits from the stale are allowed 10 stalk deer in areas where hunting is legal, as long as they have property ow ners ' permission . ·'Permit sales have gone through the roof," said Mike Tonkovich, Ohio's deer project leader. - In Virginia's Fairfax County, part of the Washington, D.C., suburbs, hunters armed with shotguns bagged 60 dee r in two regional parks during an eight-day hunt that ended Friday. The hunt was scheduled after a local librarian died in a car collision with a white-tail on her way to work. The cost was high, about $600 per deer, because of steps to protect public safety, said Mendelsohn. But, he said, "It was a good stan to our deer manage ment program." Shooters in neighboring Montgomery County. Md., killed 354 deer thi s season. County officials there cred it the hunt with stabi lizing the deer population. - Lake Forest, Glencoe and Nort hfield arc among the upscale Chicago suburbs where state-certified marksme n arc paid to cu ll herds in wooded areas. "These guys do it profe ss ionally and cleanly," said Lake Forest spokesman Micheal ' _ .DONATES TO GALLIA COUNTY CLUB- In a ·biief ceremony last week a check in the amount of $3,000 was given to the Gallla County Gun Club by Philip Gray, Chillicothe, Ohio field represents· tive tor the National Rifle Association. Bill McCully, president of the Gallla Gun Club, accept· ed the donation which will be used to upgrade the shooting ranges at the c)ub site. Shown at the presentation (LtoR) David Tawney, PhU Heck, Robbie Jenkins, McCully, Gray, Larry Betz, and Ed Clarv holding his grandaughter, Catlyn Nelson. Thomas. Story, of tlie Wildlife Legislative Fund, estimates that there arc "probably hundreds" of managed deer hunts around the country every year. Although the hunts may be acceptable to some, they still horrify others. Residents in Highland Park, Ill., an upscale suburb of Chicago, demanded a referendum on the issue after the City Council moved to bring in sharpshooters. The referendum wound up in a tie. But the debate was so emotional that the council reversed its decision. "You don't kill deer because they're eating people's plants," said Thomas Loughlin, who helped lead the fight ag·ainst sharpshooters. "And I don '1 particularly want people with high-powered rines in the neighborhood." The National Park Service was forced to suspend deer killing in Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania after animal rights groups sued in federal court. The groups say the park service should be prot~ling wildlife, not shooting it. Police sharpshooters killed 858 deer on the Civil War battlefield in 1995-96 because the animals were damaging historically significant woodlands. 1-.J_ Graceful and beautiful as they are, deer are woefully' i'ndiscriminate about what they cal; where they poop and how they cwss the street. As their numbers multiply, so do' gripes about ruined vegetation and, more serious, car accidents. A new survey by the Insurance Information Institute in Washington, a trade group, says deer ca\lsed some 500 000 auto collisions in the United Stat~s last year.

MIDDLEPORT- As a boy growing up in Ml,lOtepon in the 1930's, Myron Duffield vividly remembers hearing the sounds of a caland rushing 10 ·riverbank to listen the boats inoved by. It made a lasting ') m>pressi(Jn- one · which years later led him to build his own calliope, begin a quarter century of performance around the country, and become known as the "Calliope King of the World." His unique hobby 1 got its start in 1967. Duffield was .involved Myron Duffield built the calliope from pieces he gathered up in cub scouting and during hla travels around the country, and then conatructed the beautiful clrcua wagon to house lt. For the past 25 years he has needed a float for his scouts to tide ii1n~:·i;;~~~~~ He made a riverboat replica and e with a working calliope been performing at falra and faatlvala and appearing In made from old organ pipes and a vacuum From that time on paradei~ Duffield had a dream. · he went to carnivals and aboard old riverboats with calliopes. He learned As ·he traveled about the country in his eojplrr1unicati011s industry job, everything he could about their operation, and was invited to play many of them. Meanwhile, collecting parts to build a calliope of his own became a passion. From business trips to Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma he returned with "baskets of pieces." ' Then in the early '70s he began the process of building his own calliope - an instrument with 43 whistle~ mad~ .gj 1 prass pipes ranging in heigh! from fiv~ inches to two feet and'in diameter from seven-eigMh!.!'! an inch to thre~ and a half1n~es. · •' -,;; Many of the old parts he had gathered up had to 6e rebuilt and restored ..There was some improvising to be done, some changes to be made since his calliope was to be air driven, and a cabinet to be constructed. When it was completed he had a unique instrument, a real showpiece. It took him two years and cost about $2,500. A year later he constructed a circus wagon for the calliop~. He . designed and built it from the bottom up in his basement, usmg a f1fth wheel running gear. Then he created an ornately decorated "box" with cutouts for viewing the calliope. He painted it with red, white and gold, put on large white wheels, and completed the decor with gold scroll decorations which he created from molds. From there it was a matter of mounting it on a trailer so that it could be pulled in parades and to fairs and festivals. His wife, June •• very sup· portive of her husband's endeavors - has always been the driver of th e vehicle pulling the calliope trailer. Both remember well their first paid appearance. It was in a parade in Middleport in 1972. That was the beginning of dozens of performances in parades, at fairs and festivals thai have kepi the Duffie Ids on the road. · His repertoire has always been the old songs- in fact he says the calliope is actually best suited for songs with a strong 'oom:pah' rhythm. Listeners would never guess that Duffield's only mus1caltrammg was in the Middleport High School marching band. He plays the calliope and other instruments "by ear, mechanically, and reading single notes." Duffield has played 76 different calliopes in 15 states over the years . Many have·been on riverb~ats like the Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen, the Belle of Louisville and the Louisiana-based Natchez. He has performed atlhe Circus World Museum in Wisconsin, Knottsberry Farm in california, the Holiday Casino in Nebraska, and Hale Farm in O~io .. Many performances have been sponsored by ~ational compa~1es hke Coca Cola, Pepsi, Wendy's, McDonalds, and NatlonaJ .Cash Reg1ster. In parades which are such a big part of Duffield's performances, the calliope is always the last unit- "known as the 'pied piper'," he says, "because in earlier years it led the people to the circus grounds." . In addition to the calliope, Duffield is interested in novelty vaudevilletype instruments, like finger whistles, spinning discs, stomp fiddles, a~d shaker chimes.

DOW slates Forked Run trout stocking for Friday REEDSVILLE- Approximately 78,000 rainbow trout measuring I 0 to 13 inches in length will be released in 36 Ohio lakes to enhance public fishing opportunities and encourage more people to fish, according to the Ohio Division of WildliiC. At Forked Run Lake near Reedsville, 2,675 trout will be released March 13 while 4,000 trout will be released in Dow Lake in Athens County on April 10. Last year, the wildlife agency released 40,000 trout into 17 inland lakes. The division said its acquisition last year of the Castalia Trout Hatchery has allowed it to double the number of inland lakes where rainbow trout will be released this spnng. Stocking will begin Monday and continue through early May. Anglers 16 and older must have an Ohio fishing license. The annual resident fiShing license costs $15. A new one-day fishing license is being sold this year for $7. The daily bag limit is five trout per angler at each of the 36 lakes where the trout releases are being made.

The device is h·ai led as the onfy musical instrument that docs not require human touch. Its sound, explained Duffield, is controlled by movement of the musician's hands around the prongs. Since the sound is so unusual, "ki nd of .squeaky, a little creepy," Theramins have·been used to provide background music for shows like "Frankenstein." Other-original instruments which he has restored include the crank marimba or the musical rallies which are over a hundred years old, Rosewood chimes built in 1910, the alu minum shaker chimes which go .back to the turn of the century, the Deagan spinning discs of 1910 vintage, and the four-hand bells of 1920 vintage. · He also plays skillets which he purchased and then "tuned by dinging out the bollom, hammering to a pitch", and penny whistles which he made. One of his favorite instruments is a.n original folding military field organ, sometimes called a traveling preacher organ. His many performances as Professor MyRONi are always closed with "God Bless America" on the organ.

The more educated parents are, the more likely their 14- to 17-yearold ~hildren are to report being virgins, John Santelli of the Centers for Disease Control and Prev,l'ntion will tell the Society for Adolescent Medicine meeting in Atlanta. "This shows we shouldn't lump all teens together. Some have started intercourse by middle school, but others are waiiing a whole lot longer." The survey of 3,965 adolescents , a nationally representative sample, was taken through audio headsets, with written response forms provid .ed to make il eas1cr for teens to g1vc candid answers to adult questioners , Santelli said. It was conducted in 1992, but the figures arc the most recent to I mk teen sex with parental education. and Santelli helieves the trend has continued smcc then. "There's no reason to think there's any change here," he said. • Among the findings: - If at least one parent finished college, 29 percent of girls had s~i'­ ual experience; 45 percent if a parent graduated from high school; 56 per- · cent if a parent had no high school diploma. · . - For boys, 34 percent with n college grad parent had c"gaged in sex; 47 percent if a parent finisfic.!l high school; 60 percent if a par~~~ had no htgh school dtploma. Well-educated parents may ~c able to provide closer teen supcrvjsion. Santelli said. Also, teens may delay intercourse · if they knoi.v they're expected to follow their parents' example in attending colleg~. and they fear early pregnancy.

You get drowsy after a glass of wine and you . sleep in on Saturdays. You may think you're getting adeq uate sleep. but in fact there's a goad chance you're sleep-depri ved. Sleep scientists say . we 're a nation of people who aren't getting enough shuteye, cheating ourselves out of at least one hour of sleep a day. It makes us a menace to ourselves and others. Too little sleep means we're Ycss alert, Jess productive and less effic ient than we could be, and we're more prone to injuries and errors '"judgment. We're also more likely to be forgetful, angry, cranky and irritable. Thi s Situation is li kei1' to get worse as Americans trade sleep for work. television and other activities . It's a problem that experts wi ll be addreSSing beginmng March 30 durtn g a week long public awareness cJ mpaign aimed at making Ameri can' real ize the importance of sleep. Right now, Americans average se ven hours of sleep a nt ght. and a third get six hours or Jess. says James Maas, a Cornell University professor of psychology who makes the case for snoozi ng more in hi s new book, "Power Sleep" (Villard , $25). Al though sleep requiremen ts vary, most people need eight hours a night to be at their best the next day and · not experience a signifi cant mid-afternoon drop in alertness and energy, Maas says. There are some people, he says, who do OK with seven to 7 and one-half hours a nigl)t. Few people function at their opti mal level on Jes! than six hours a night . and a few need 10 hours or more to function .;e ll , he says. Sleep deprivation varies So millions of people are walking around. going about their work and dnving on the nation' s highways while they arc mildly to moderately sleep-deprived. Some people have more sleep problems than others: - An estimated 20 million to 30 million people experience transitory sleep problems such as insomnia a couple of ni ghts a month because of stress. anxiety, pain. illne ss and depression. says the National Sleep Foundation , a nonprofit group in Washin gton, D.C. (Some ex pens say we all have transitory sleep prob!ems.) - Ahout 25 million Americans · have nontraditional work schedules that conflict with tl1eir natural sleep times, tile group says. - Up to 40 million Amcncans suffer fro m seri ous sleep disorders. Ahout JO(PC) of the population. or 20 milli on adult s, have chroni c in somnia . which is inadequate or poor quality sleep nightl y for a month or more . says Jame s K. Wal sh, executive director and seni or sc ienti st at the Unity Sleep Medicine and Research Center at St. Luke 's Hospital m St. Louis. ·- An additional 10 million to 12 million have sleep apnea, a temporary cessation of breathing that causes a person to wake up without awareness during the night, according to the sleep foundation. Still others suffer from other sleep disorders including . narcolepsy (a condition characterized by sudden and un controllable attacks of sleep) and restless-legs syndrome, a neurological disorder. Scientific evidence shows how widespread the problem of · sleep deprivation is: - Thomas Roth and re searchers with the division of sleep medicine at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit surveyed 1,007 people and discovered they slept an average of 6.7 hours a night during the week. But, research indicates that the average American needs eight hours a night.. 'Roth says. - Roth. analyzed 100 young adults who said they were fully alert after ,a ni ght 's sleep. But he found that 12 percent had very seri ous sleepi ness and that 22 percent were moderately sleepy. - Wal sh and colleague s did a study of I0- to I 4-year-old children. They had some of the children niiss a half ni ght of sleep. Those who slept Jess had fewe r verbal skill s the ne xt day than children who got 9 hours of sleep. Wh y are we so sleepy 7 " In the bi g picture, sleep has a low priority (for many people)," Roth says. " When something has to give, sleep gives." People 'stay up late to watch tele vision , surf the Net, do the laundry. Many people feel they need to work long hours to be successful. But sleep ex pens such as Maas say people would actually be more efficient and productive if they got .enough sleep. Sleep deprivation costs Americans more than $100 billion annually in lost productivity, medical expenses, sick leave and property· and environmental damage ; the National Sleep Foundation says. And lack of sleep is dangerous. The National Highway Traffic. Safe· ty Administration es timates that 100,000 police-reponed motor vehicle crashes are caused by drowsy dri vers every year. Lost sleep adds up Experts say loss of slee p is cumulalive, creating a sleep debt. One hour of slee p Joss every night for a week is the equivalent of stayin g up for an all-nighter, Maas say s. . Eventually your body tires and tries to make up for lost sleep with naps or extra sleep on the weekends . If people don 't get enough shuteye, they may fall asleep in meetings or when driving. . To get a good night's sleep, Maas recommends that people exercise regularly, stay mentally stimulated during the day, cat a proper diet, stop . smoking, stop caffeinatcd food and drink at least six hours hcforc bedtime, take a warm bath before going to bed and establish a bedtime ritual. It's best to avoid stewing about problem s right before bedtime. Maas says one of the most common reasons for insomnt a is stress . If you're in the habit of waking up at night or early in the morning warried about work, personal or fami ly problems, he recommends that you keep a notepad on the nightstand and jot down a potenti al solution or a time durin g waking hours when you'll address the prob lem. Maas lec tures to co rporati ons across the nati on. anJ he encourages people to Jearn the va lue of sleep. When people try hi s advice and get the recommended amo~nt of sleep, he says, they often come back to him and say, "I've never felt this awake before ." - rOO iliS - - I often nod off after heavy meals or after a low dose of al_cohol. I often feel dro\'-'sy while driving . I often sleep ex tra hours on wee kend mornings. I often need a nap to get through the day. I have dark circles under my eyes.

During the Civil War it became necessary to embalm dead soldiers so they could be taken back to their homes. In due course most people were embalmed after death. The undertaker of the 19th century was more likely than not also a furniture dealer or cabinetmaker. When a per.;on in the community died he would place a black ribbon on his store to tell everyone he was attending to the deceased and would not be open that day. He also put a black ribbon on the front door of the house where the deceased had passed on. Embalming would most likely be done in the same. bed where the loved one had died . The departed would then be put in a casket and placed on view right in his residence . The family would stay up all night with the departed. The next day the preacher would arrive and lead the procession from the house to ,the church and the cemetery. , Before the undcf41ker too k over most of the tasks that pertained to caring for the dead, the family of the bereaved usually dug the grave , supplied the team of horses, rented a carriage or used their own wagon. Coordinating a funeral in the last century was difficult . At one funeral home, the departed was laid out and the family was gathered. Since the church where the fam ily auended was temporari ly without a pastor, they had arranged for a former pastor to arrive for the funeral. But about 30 minutes before the funeral was to start , the former minister telegraphed that he had mis<ed his train and could not come.

But in this wacky comedy, even the gutter balls are funny. Jeff Bridges and John Goodman star as two guys who live to bowl in this slice of surreal lunacy. It 's the latest from Joel and Ethan Coen, two men who top any list or today's most original filmmakers. True, the Coens aren't always sure where they're going in " The Big Lebow ski." The plot moves in fits and starts and doesn't really end spectacularly. Mter 117 minutes, it's just son of ... over. But, in a career that includes "Raising Arizona," "Barton Fink" JEFF BRIDGES, left, and John Goodman star as two guys who live to bowl in this slice of aurreallunacy. It's the latest from Joel and Ethen Coen, two mef! who top any list of today's most original filmmakers. and " Fargo," the Coen brothers have never before created characters as memorable or as hilarious as the gang in "The Big Lebowski." It's a sublime comic character study from the light side of the Coen scale; more " Raising Arizona" than " Barton Fink." Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski, a laid-back, drugged-out, unemployed, latter-day hippie who prefers to be known only as "The Dude." His best friend is Walter (Goodman), a hyped-up Vietnam veteran who isn 't shy about pulling a gun to enforce a .bowling rule . "But only because it 's league play!" As the film opens, Lebowski is attacked in his ·flea-bag apartment by a couple of thugs who bash him because his wife supposedly owes a lqt of money to a mobster. It's mistaken identity - Lebowski has very littie money and no wife. The chagrined thugs leave him alone, but only after one wets the Dude's Oriental carpet.· The Dude then seeks out the other Jeff Lebowski, a wealthy Pasadena millionaire (David Huddleston), to- get reparation for the carpet. It's a big mistake, for soon th~ Dude and Walter are up to their bowling shirts in a family squabble, a kidnapping scheme, embezzlement and other insanities. The entanglements eventually drag them through the world of kitschy Los Angeles performance art, and put them on the hit lists of various unexpected advef6aries. · And their proposed solution to everything doesn't hold much hope . " The hell with it,'' they say, "Let's go bowlin \" "The Big. Lebowski" plays out its craziness like the dream of an obsessed bowler who's also a Ray mood Chandler mystery fan, and who had too much pizza and bee r before going to sleep. (Actually, dream logic is a big part of "Lebowski," highlighted by a fantasy dance extravaganza in a bowling alley, choreographed in the Busby Berkeley manner.) Along the way, the Dude and Walter encounter Maude (Julianne Moore), the wealthy Lebowski's strange, estranged daughter and would-be artist; Brandt (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Lebowski 's everefficient Man F1iday; a gang of thugs who call themselves the Nihilists (hey, I'm not . making this stuff up); and a cocky, self-absorbed bowler named Jesus (played by an hysterically funny John : urturro). The Coens and a movie about a barber who wants to be a drycleaner. Ha. By MARSHALL FINE Gannett Suburban Newspapers They come from suburban Minneapolis and their new movie is a paean to L.A. That's why the Coen brothers live in New York . Which makes sense in the Coenian scheme o( things. · " I like L.A. to visit," Ethan Coen says. "The fact that I don 't liv~ there speaks for itself." Adds Joel Coen, " I like L.A., too. Of course, everything I like about L.A. would evaporate if I was forced to live there fu ll-time. ·As a tourist and occasional visitor, though, I eljjoy it. " L.A. is more of a character in "The Big Lebowski," the Coen brothers' film that opens Friday (March 6), than North Dakota was in " Fargo," the siblings' Oscar-win- ning 1996 effort and their most successful film to date. "Lebowski" deals with a stoned bowler's befuddlement at being thrust into the middle of a Raymond Chandler-esque mystery, involving kidnapping, pornography and Scandinavi an nihilists. Known as the Dude, the central character (Jeff Bridges) gets drawn deeper into a needlessly complicated plot, thanks to the intrusive actions of his best friend and bowling teammate, a meddlesome Vietnam vet named Walter (John Goodman). "Walter has always got opinions that he 's ready to 'offer," Ethan observes. "And he's always wrong." Ethan, 40, and Joel, 43, both write the scripts for their films. Ethan bas the title of producer, while Joel is credited as director- but the pair collaborate on all aspects of the film. · Sitting in their uncluttered upper Manhattan office (on what appears to be comfortable and clean secondhand furniture), the brothers still profess bemusement at both the success of "Fargo" (for which they shared a screenwntmg Oscar and Joel's mate, Frances McDormand, got the best-actress statuette)- and at the controversy it caused in their home state. " We knew some people would object to it, but we were a little surprised at the vehemence of the people who objected to it," Joel says. " On the other hand, we were surprised at the response in general: that anyone would be interested at all. ' Observes Ethan, " On the face of it, you wouldn't expect it to be a movie with broad appeal. Still, in Hollywood terms, it wasn't a huge moneymaker:" The brothers also ignited a small controversy with their tongue-incheek assertion at the beginning of the film that it was based on a true story- which it wasn't. "Yeah, the New York Post decided it was a big scoop that 'Fargo' wasn't true, " Joel says. Adds Ethan, "It was good it was 1 the Post rather than the (New York) Times. Sometimes I felt bad about it, when people would come up and ask what happened to the little boy." Pause. " But those moments pass." The Coens have finished writing a screenplay adaptation of Elmore Leonard's newest novel , "Cuba Libre," but won't make that film themselves. Instead, they're working on several script ideas, waiting to see which one will demand their · attention to finish. Says Joel, "We've written parts of several scripts. One is about a barber in Northern California in the '40s "who wants to go into the drycleaning business." He and Ethan burst into giggles spontaneously, at the idea of trying to pitch that idea to a studio executive. "The other," he continues, " is an adaptation of 'The Odyssey,' set in the American South during the Depression. We're doing that mostly because we want to see the credit, 'Based on 'The Odyssey,' by By MARSHALL FINE Gannett Suburban Newspapers When the lights came up, the aroma washed over me like the cheap cologne of a teen-age usher at a tiny multiplex. I know a trend when I smell one, and this one was as obvious as a skunk in a projection booth. Here it was, the third time in a couple weeks I'd seen a movie that turned the detective story inside out. It started with "Zero Effect," a cagey little customer by a first-time director named Jake Kasdan. Jake. I liked that name; it had detective story wri~te all over it. And " o Effect" was the real ·deal: A p ivate-eye flick with a twist. It's about a shamus with the temperament of a show-off actor. But he's afraid to face the world unless he's pretending to be someone else, even though he's got a pretty sharp knack for ratiocination. Ratiocination? Only a pompous Brit like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle uses two-dollar words like that. And I'm no Brit - I'm a movie review er. And I'm an American, dammit. But I knew I was onto something when I saw "Twilight. " Robert Benton was no newcomer - and he 'd put that old detective dog through some new tricks because he hung his movie on an old gumshoe instead of some young hotshot. I liked his style, and his mov ie had heart . "The Big Lebowski " cemented it for me like a concrete footbath. Here was a clao;sic Raymond Chandler story one man forced to find the truth along a twisting path through a neon-lit world of L.A. oddballs and nutjobs. E~cept that filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen had pulled a fast one, subbing in a stoned bowler for Philip Marlowe. Still, I was wary. I'd been burned by th trend stories before. Like the early ' "Revival of the western" stampede. on had roped me in a serious w rig t up until I saw Kevin C tner in yatt Earp." The one was ringing at my desk. The affect of 'Zero Effect' It was Jake Kasdan; I asked him what he had in mind when he took on the detective genre with "Zero Effect." "There's something transcendant about the nature of these stories, about guys wandering through the landscape, trying to piece together some semblance of truth," Kasdan says. "But, from the earl iest stages, this was as much a love story and a story about friendship as it was about sleuthing." Back ~p. Jackson . Detective movie - not about sleu thing? "Ultimately, it's a story about people trying to make con tact," Kasdan maintains, "trying to get along a little bit in (he world. In the rang up Robert Benton, whose .new film is "TWilight." His flick plunges an aging detective into a long-buried murder that bleeds into modern Hollywood. I gave him the third degree: Wasn't it true that his movie wasn't really interested in finding out who the killer was? Didn't he secretly want to follow the emotional journey of the detective? Was it any secret that the shamus' age can't protect him from getting his heart broken and his idealism bruised? "Well, the private-eye movies I like are about character, rather than plot: 'The Big Sleep,' 'Night Moves'," says Benton, who wrote and directed " The Shnw" SPRING VALLE~. CINE~~ 446-4524 ' .

Detective movies are back in the theaters. Is this a trend? places where a conventional film noir would lead you to a bleak, black place without hope, my movie doesn't. The way they relate to each other is merciful and caring." Could it be? Was this the true secret of the detective story - that the mystery was secondary to the characters' emotional journey? I got on the hom to someone who ought to know: Bill Malloy, editor in chief at Mysterious Press. In books, character over plot "It is' clear character is more important than plot in books,'' Malloy told me. "You've got serious characters, who are in ongoing series of books and that 's who people read them for. "But look at a movie like 'Chinatown': The character is a classic standand private investigator. It 's pill! that runs the whole thing." And what about Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler's classic shamus, the epitome of the worldweary private ·eye who wishes humanity was better but is always being shown how bad people can be? ."Well, I've always read Marlowe stories more for the plot than the character," Malloy says. " But we' re seeing a resurgence of film noir, in films like ' L.A. Confidential. ' People are watching an amoral univer.;e where things are out of control. It's almost like a horror movie, where the detectives eventually make things right. " The trend at 'Twilight' time Something dido 't ring true.

Members of the West Virginia State Farm Museum are planning to go "all out" when the traveling exhibition "Barn Again: Celebmting an American Icon" comes to the museum May 9 though June 22. The American bam is an icon of this nation's agricultural heritage and a potent symbol of American culture. Exploring barns in all segments of American life. from their architectural forms to their use in advenising. the traveling exhibition features architectural models. photographs, popular cu lture objects and period advertisements. Developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and the National Building Museum in cooperation with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "Barn Again" has been specially designed for display in small rural cultural institutions and has benefited from funding by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Hearst Foundation. the Smithsonian · Institution's Education Outreach Fund and the Smithsonian In stitution Special Exhibition Fund. . Eight humanities councils worked with SITES on the "Barn Asain!" project to develop resources and training programs for the host cultural institutions on the tour. "Barns not only served farmers as a place to store crops or animals, but through the years served as a place for auctions. bam dances and social gatherings and even church services," said James Lewis, director of the We.~t Virginia State Farm Museum. , He said the farm museum, located just north of Point Pleasant, is one of only four sites in West Virginia to host the exhibition. Others include Jackson's Mill, Mannington and Elkins.

BYRNES GALLIPOLIS - The horticulture calls to the Extension office are picking up in spite of the up ·and down weather we have been experie'ncing. One topic of common dis'cussion is preparing roses for the .growing season, including pruning, 1nd fertilizing. In general, roses ;hould be pruned and fertilized just Jefore growth ·begins in Manch or mly April. The exceptions are old or heirloom roses and some climbers that produce blooms on the previous · year's wood. Pruning is done to improve the appearance of the plant, to remove dead or diseased wood, to let in sunlight and air to the center of the plant and to control the quantity and quality of the flowers produced. Removing old blooms during the season encourages more blooms, improves the appearance of the plant. and will also eliminate possible sites for diseases. When buying pruning shears, look for the hook and blade type which have two cutting edges like a pair of scissors. Pruners with just one cutting edge will crush the stem. First remove any diseased or damaged wood, and cut the stems one · inch below darke·ned areas, making ~ure you are cutting back to green · wood. Look for the center of the stem to be white. If it is tan. continue cutting until the center appears white. Secondly. remove branches that grow toward the center of the plant. This opens the plant for better air circulation and allows sunlight into the center portion of the plant. Next. locate crossing branches and remove ·the weakest one. Crossing branches may rub against each other, creating a pathway for disease entry. Sucker growth should also be removed.

THE BIG PAYOFF: Bargainhunterswere betting on Geoff Bodine 10 win the Las Vegas 400, not because Bodine was a panicularly likel y winner but because the odds posted next to Bodine's name, 50-1, seemed so charita· ble. Some other examples, which obviously were subjecl to change as lhe race drew closer: Jeff Gordon bouncing between 2- 1 and 5-2, Mark Manin 4- 1, Rusly Wallace 6-1, Dale Jarrell 7-2 and Bill Elliott 10-1. Afler Bdl! ine put his Ford on the fronl row in Friday qualifying, his odds dropped promptly to 10-1. For race weekends, a "Souvenir City" moves into an area adjacent to the lrack.

EWG has analyzed material from some RO.OOO government laboratory tests and coupled it with statistics on children's tood consumption to con- elude that more than I million children daily are exposed to possibly unsafe levels of foodbome organophosphate chemicals_ EWG 's analytical method is similar to one used in 1993 by the National Academy of Sciences in studying pesticides in children's diets. The EWG study focused on the 13 organophosphate insecticides. which are deriv~tives of nerve gases. The estimated .safe daily dose for each of the 13 compounds were those devel- oped recently by the Environmental Protection Agency. Organophosphates are used on corn. cotton. fruits and vegetables and for household and garden use to co.n- . trol insects. Because two-thirds of insectici de compounds contain organophosphates. any ban would resuh in crop losses and increases in food prices. some agricuhural economists believe.

The tirsJ meeting between Glickman and Vanclief also touched on several other trade disputes. but both stressed that 90 percent of the agri cultural trade between the two countries is friendly. _ "The U.S. and Canada are each other's largest trading partners, .. Glickman said. "There are obviously some matters of disagreement. But we have more to gai n than we have to lose." ing on a deal to improve access for American wheat expons to Canada. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman and his Canadian counterpart, Lyle Vanclief. told reponers after a meeting Tuesday the two sides hoped to put together a pilot progmm providing greater opponu.nities for U.S. growers to sell to Canadian grain elevators. The major complaint of U.S. WASHINGTON -Canon isn·l wheat producers is that Canada 'ells wheat in the United States at below king in Kansas. but a combination of rost. not that Canada blocks imports hand<-off government farm laws and of U.S . wheat.

And the huge 1997 soybean . harvest - a record 2.73 billion bushels- retlects a shift by Corn Belt farmers into a crop that is paying them a high $6.65 a bushel. Other factors have led farmers to alternative crops. Use of new ~lage techniques that conserve soil moisture allow many to plant com. soybeans and other crops in places where the weather was too dry before. Improvements in plant hybrids , including some that resist herbicides, allow farming in areas where previously weeds had consumed ttie soil nutrients and choked out crops. "We're seeing a significant change in rotation pallerns," Polansky said. "Ovemll. it now comes down to the economic realities." For all that economic planning. however. weather is still one variable tile farmer can't control. In 1997, near-ideal conditions prevailed across most or'the nation and produced big harvests. Corn production was No.3 all-time at 9.37 bill-ion bushels. the Agricuhure Depanment said in its final 1997 crop report. Last year's wheat crop. which includt:s varieties harvested in both spring and fall,topped out at2.53 billion bushels. an II percent increase over 1996 levels. The rice harvest was 4 percent above the year before. Among major crops, only sorghum showed a marked decline. dropping 19 percent from 1996 at653 million bushels. • POUND RIDGE, N.Y.

The situation is more demanding in ornamental gandening, where the scientific name may be crucial for accurate identification. si nee the same common name may refer to different plants. In line with this, you'll notice that seed catalogs generally don't use botanical names for vegetables, but do so for ornamentals. Now. no one expects an ordinary gardener to memorize lists of botanical names and be able lo ranle them off or flaunt them in your face. But it helps greatly to research a plant when necessary and come up with the right name. Dale Palmgren. store manager at the Pound Ridge Nursery in my village, says her work is made much easier when a customer uses botanical names. Illustrating the problems present- ed by common names. she mentioned "cohosh." This. in the Eastern United Slates. could be "Cimicifuga racemosa" of the buttercup- family or "Caulophyllum thalictroides" of the barbeny family, two unrelated plants. Which doe~ the customer want? Or take "pinks." Do you want the China Pink, "Dianthus chinensis" or is thepink you are.looking for Sweet William, "Dianth~s barbatus"? · Naming plant~. goes back to the origins of civilillliion because of their imponance in human nutrition, medication and survival and hence the need for accurate identification. It took ages to arrive where we are today - the lnteroational Code of Hall of Farner Nitschke\dies at age 61 Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, first issued in 1958 and under constant revision since. Underthis code, a name ·applies to the same plant everywhere in the world. The authoritative "America's Garden Book" (Macmillan 1996) notes that. under the code, " 'Rosa rugosa' refers to the same species of rose and only that species - whether in its native Japan or in Italy. South Africa. Argent!na. the United States or anywhere else." "Common, or vernacular names. by c~ntrasl, are often applied to unlike plants and frequently vary from place to place." the volume Sports on Page 4 VOl. 48, NO. 221' ©1998, Ohio V~lley Publishing Company State elections, issues preoccupy Strickland By PAUL BARTON Gannett News Service WASHINGTON - AI a time when most people in Rep. Ted Strickland's position would be consumed with their own re-election to Congress. Strickland takes time to talk about state government elections in Ohio. He has !I special interest in those races, he said- all of them. He plans to make each of the candidates for statewide office take a stand on whether they think at least $14 million in corporate tax dollars that Ohio will soon roap from the privatization pf the U.S. government's uranium enrichment plant near Piketon should be returned to the are·a for economic development and job ereation. He plans to publicize their intentions and doesn 't care if it helps Democrats or Republicans. If state .government can help big cities like Cleveland and Cincinnati with their sports stadiums, that is the least it. can do for the economically struggling 6th Congressional District in Southern Ohio. he said.
