WASHINGTON (AP) - Allor- the extraordinary courage to endure any relationships that Clinton might Contending she suffered discrim~ : ' Goodyear, union make hard choices to keep plant alive By JAMES HANNAH Associated Press Writer ST. MARYS - The blue Goody~ar sweatshirt filling station attendant Jane Slife wears tells t!.: who!~ story. Asked what the plant means to this rural western Ohio city about 60 miles northwest of Dayton, Slife lets loose with a you-got-ro-be-kidding laugh. Without the Goodyear Tire & Rubber plant. she says, ·'St. Marys would be in a world of hurt ... The possibility of losing Goodyear became very real last year after it announced that sales losses and competition was forci ng it to phase out operations and that the company could not guarantee the plant it opened in 1940 would su rvive beyond 200 I. "We were on the ropes," .aid Mayor Greg Fr~~wa lt. . " There seemed to be a point in time where we thought they were probably gone. I was aware of enough to be scared,·.:. Since the plant opened, it has employed generations of famili es and become part of the com munity's social fabric . Even with economic downturns that have cut what was once a 2,000-person work force 10 650. Goodyear remains the largest emp loye r in the ci ty of9,000 p~op le . The announcemen t sent union leaders and management to the bar~ainin~ table . Now, arte r a hard-won batik - 10 persuade union worke rs thai the seven-day shifts Goodyear was puslting for could save the plant. nobody mentions phase-outs or 200 I anymore . "The membership had a real difficult struggle wi th thi s. It scared them," said John Rauh, president of Un ited Stee l Workers of Ameri ca Rubber Co nfe rence Local 200L. It took two votes - workers soundly rejected 1he propo~al on the first go-round - before the membership agreed to Goodyear's plan to produce rubber track atlh e plant. Rubber track, which looks like a cross between a tractor tire and a tank tread, prevents tractor wheels from compactin g sandy or loose soil. Pre ve nting such com paction is crucial to farmers because plan I ~ have a tough lime pushing up through compacted ground. Goodyear to ld union leaders it could begin rubber track at lhe plant. but could not on the currenl live-day work week. ''To have that kind of capita l investment, you need to have the abil tly lo run that equipment seven days a week, " sa id Steve Neely, plant director of human resources. -Workers didn't buy the argument and rejected the proposal. But union leaders tried again, this time hammering the me ssage that the plan! could close and explaining the advantages of such a seven-day production schedule. Although they would have to work 12-hour shifts instead or eight, they would have more time away from the plant. getting three-day weekends every other week . In October. the workers reversed their dec ision and last month began working the new seven-clay schedule Other Goodyear plants have not fared as well. In November. Goodyear canceled pl ans to modemil< ti s plant in Danville, Va. , and add about 500 jobs because the local union voted against working on Sun days. Skip Scherer, Goodyear spokesman ba'"d at the company's headqu~rlers in Akron. said St. Marys now is considered instrumental. "Track man (rubber track) is going to be a very important product for the lire division ." he said. Curt Bennink, editor of Farm Equipment magazine, said the market for tire track could be lucrative. Plant manager Clyde Burrows bel ieves the future of the plant is secure - if it remains competiti ve. He walks through the 22-acre facility with a touch of pride. talking over the roar of giant presses and hiss of the union sees wi th Ohio's current school funding system. The Ohio Education Association . with about 118.000 members, has gone on record supporting the sales tax increas~. )'lhich would he evenly split between school fund ing and property tax relief. · "I t shakes out as a difference of opi nion. " said -Ronald Marec. the OFT's president. " We really feel that it (the proposal) doesn't do the job." OFT delegates approved a resolution urging that property tax rates be allowed to increase wi1h inflation to keep school funding in line with operating cmts. The resolution also demands that deteriorating sc hools be !I xed or replaced by issuing government bonds to mise money in capi tal hudgets to pay for repairs . Mary Boy le. a Democratic candi dale for U.S . Senate, told OFT delegales Friday that the Ohio Associaltun uf School Boards, the Buckeye School Administrators Association and the Ohio Coalition for Adequacy of School· Funding oppose the tax increase. Ms. Boyle said the tax mcrease is inadeq uate and opposes it. Ms. Boyle and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lee Fisher on Thursday asked the OFT to endorse thei r campaigns. Marec said he expects OFT delegates will vote Saturday to endorse them. The .Ohio Supreme Court. which declared Ohio's system of paying fo r schools unconstitutional last year: gave the Legislature until March 24 to come up with a new funding plan. The Ohio General Assembly passed Fly problem prompts closer look at egg farm's new pullet operation LaRUE (AP) - Flies are bugging people in a rural community, sohealth commissioners from rwo counties are investigating whether they are coming from Buckeye Egg Farm 's new pullet operation. Marion County Sanitarian Lowell Lufkin has looked into the problem and he said he believes the flies are coming from the pullet farm. Buckeye Egg has been operating a 2.5 million hen-egg operation near · the Hardin County village of Mount Victory since September 1995. Residents in the rural community said flies from the egg farm have been so bad .at tim~s. they have had to stay inside. The company opened a pullet farm two months ago in the Marion . County village of LaRue. about live mile' east of the egg farm. Residents ltving near the pullet operation began complaini ng last month that their hom~ s were infested with hundreds of thousands of flt es. The pullet operation supplies chick~n s to the egg farm. Buckeye Egg plans to open three Lottery res~lts more egg farm s and two more pullet - farll)s that would give the com pany about 18 million hens wi thin a I0mile radius in the Mou nt VictoryLarue area. The company also operales an egg farm in Croton. about 60 miles southe,JSt of LaRue. A telephone message left fo r Buckeye 'Egg Prestdenl Andy Hansen was not returned Fnday. But Hanse n has said the company. formerl y AgriGeneral Co. L.P.. has started spraying at the pullet operation to control the fl ies. The flie s ha ve moved from the pullet farm 10 the community because of the unseasonabl y warm and wet winter. Lutkin said Friday that he inspected homes in the LaRue area and found that they were in fested with the disease -s prcadin ~ Insects. He said the fli es were m ming from the pullet farm . He said the Marion County Health Departmenl wi ll discuss the problem during a m~eting Monday ni ght . The departm~ nt is expected 10 oppose Buckeye Egg Farm's ex pansion plans. Meanwhile. Hardin County Sanitarian Lance Hart said he was consuiting with state health officials because of concerns about the amount of fl y larvae at the pullet farm. "There will be a major problem out there if we don' ltake immediate steps," he said. Buckeye Egg used pesticides two years ago when residents around the egg farm com plained about flie s. II did not work, so the company started using darkling beetles, which eat the fly larvae that gather in the chicken manure. Thai controlled the flies but ereated a problem for people living near farm ll elds where Buckeye Egg spreads its manure .

El Nino, Asian crisis eliminate wholesale price inflation in February WASHINGTON (AP) - World events ranging from Asia 's financial crisis to El Nino combined in February to eliminate for the fifth consecutive month inflation in the prices paid by wholesalers. Producers such as manufacturers, food processors and refiners last month charged wholesalers 0.1 percent less for finished goods than the month before and 1.6 percent less than a year earlier, the Labor Department said Friday. The February decline followed a steep 0.7 percent drop in January, the largest in more than four years. It was the fifth month in a row and the 12th in 14 without an increase. "Inflation is the missing actor in today 's economic drama," . said economist Robert Dederick of Northern Trust Co. in Chicago.

This is impressive and a source of pride for our university and community. Yes, neither team made it to the championship stage, but they are young and will improve. A great deal of cred it goes tp the coaching staffs. Dave Smalley and Earl Thomas should be congrat ulated. Smalley continues to build on his success at Rio Grande. He has established a solid program and gai ned a reputation as a quality coach whose teams play hard . Every year he continues to produce competitive teams w1th dedicated student athletes. Thomas inherited a difficult situation and returned the Redmen to respectability. Earl, along with Jeff Lanham, produced· two road tourna11_1ent wins before losing to Transylvania in the finals of the Great Lakes Rcgoonal. After the difficulties of a year ago, it was nice to see such productove results turned in by two super individuals. . As I listened to Andrew Carter announce the Rcdrncn-Poonecrs game last Tuesday, I couldn 't help but laugh at his rather subject i v~ view toward the officials. Yes, Andrew is a hom er. but the Pioneers were on the bonus w1th 13 minutes to go in the second half. Maybe, just maybe, Andrew wasn't far off with his criticism. Officials have been under the gu n thos year. They have achieved a high profile status from the media and fans . Consequently, with all the sports coverage, they have come under greate r scrutiny than before .. Early this year, an NBA offic1al called a foul on Washmgton guard Calben Cheanev instead of ce nter Chris Webber. The offocoal told W1zards coach and fo;mcr Rio Grande student Bernie Bickerstaff that if he had call ed the foul on Webber, it wo uld have been his sixt h and he would have had to leave the game. Latrr, Webber made a last-second block against the Grizzlies to preserve a win . Afterward, the official was fined by the league for his comments. 1 hate to see people penalized for honesty. In act uality, all of us know that officials have done this practice for years. ~ans pay top dollar to see the stars play, not sit on the bench. . . . _ ESPN followed thi& incident with a specia l onvest1gatoon. When onterviewing New Jersey reserve center Jack Haley, ESPN was told how Haley had taken fouls for Dennis Rodman, David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and a host of other supersta rs during his career. It 's important for the stars to be on the court when the game is on lite line. Haley, of course, is not a star. It seems to me that only by eliminat ing this disqualification rule, could . this practice be stopped. Such a move, however, would change the sport. Last month, the Pacers protested a game against the Orlando Magic. Indiana lost by two points and were victimized by an of!icial's mistake which cost them, you guessed it, two points. Although Com missioner David Stem acknowledged that the official had erred, he dismissed. the protest because, "Neither the nature of the error, nor its timing, had a dear impact on the outcome of the game." . The Magic were awarded and made four free throws. Thos turned a threepoint Pacers lead i~to a one-point deficit The Magic eventually won by two points. Mr. Comm ossooner, I beg to doffer. I thonk 11 had more of an ompact on the game than you are admining. Finally, Bob Knight has been vilified once again for his antics. Yes, he's a jerk, but there are times a jerk can also be the victim. The Big Ten has stated that Knight must sit out a game or Indiana University must pay a fine for Knight calling the officiating in an Indiana loss to lllinois "the greatest travesty " he has ever seen as a college coach. Now it seems that the official, Ted Valentine, has been disciplined by the league by not being able to referee in the Big Ten fo~ th~ first two months next season. Apparently, the league must feel that Krught s comm ents were somewhat justified, otherwise, why did they discipline Valentine? Knight, like the NBA official, is being penalized for telling the truth. · Officiating is a very difficult job, especially in· a sport as fast-paced as basketball. Officials do a remarkable job, but when they determmc the outcome of a game, they have failed and damaged their profession. When I watch a game and don 't remember or recognize the officials, they are doing their job. Unfortunately, when tile outcome is altered by an official's call or decision, it leaves a biller taste in our mouths. Let's award Valentine the Don Denkingcr Award for 1998.

Stunned di sbelief was heard by fans at halftime with New Lexington sitting atop a 16-6 lead . One Green field spokesman said, "these two teams have set basketball back 100 years tonight." Greenfield 's Rob Hull provided some quick second half exc itement as he drilled two three-poi nt goals just 30 seconds apart to open the second half, prompting a time out by New Lex. and the score 16-12. When the third quarter ended Greenfield had made four of 14 field goals, all of them threes. Hull drained three and Aaron Trefz the other. but New Lex had built a 30-20 lead that would eventually swell to 18 points in the fourth quarter at 47 -29.

A/on the River Section Sunday, March 15, 1998 CharJging role of child care in Gallia, Meigs Head Start services to expand. in Meigs County By JIM FREEr,tAN .I nmea-Sentlnel Stall MIDDLEPORT- Acces~ Head Start in Meigs County is cooperating with several local agencies to expand services through- · out the county. In Meigs County, the agency is heading toward a center-ba~d program, as opposed to the home-visit based program currently used, according to Ramola Hopkins, executive director of Access to Human Resource Deveiopment, the agency that administers Head Start programs in both Meigs and Gallia counties. Hopkins was in Middleport Wednesday afternoon viewing ongoing renovations to Head Start and therapy offices. "We had to have a plan for moving Head Start forward, a plan with the com· munities in mind," said Hopkins. "It took us a little over a year to go frotu the talk stage 'to implementation." · In addition to its new office in Middleport, Head Start uses a classroom at Rut- · land Elementary and is making arrangements to use space at Tuppers Plains Elementary School, which will be vacant this INFANTS AND TODDLERS are fall due to construction of a new Eastern some of the children Access Head Local Elementary School.

The agency also recently acquired the Gingerbread House Preschool in Middleport. The federal and state.governments were very much in favor of the expansion, she said. The Head Start program in Meigs County is currently a home-based program, meaning that Head Start instructors visit the child's home once a week, working with the child and, perhaps more importantly, the child's parents. Once every two weeks, the child is picked up by a bus and taken to a center for socialization. Vicki Woods, Head Start home-based speCialist for Meigs County, said the program will likely offer a combination of home-based and center-based approaches. Furthermore, by having centers throughout the county, it is feasible to make the program available for even more of the county's children, she explained. "We're starting to bloom here," Woods·said. "It's a good program ... it's going to get better. We're going to branch and grow." Room to Grow Earlier, Meigs County did not have the facilities to implement a center-based program, Lentes said. Then the Meigs Local School District got on board with a classroom at Rutland Elementary School, then the Eastern Local School Pistrict. · * "It's good ft>r kids to lie In a school building before they start school," said Lentes. In addition, the purchase of the Gingerbread House will enable the program to . expand in new dir~ctions ··while enhancing the services already offered by Gingerbread House. For instance, the preschool will have its own bus and be able to transport ·children, Hopkins said. · "I'm very excited about this," said Hopkins. "One of the biggest problems is transportation." "Gallia County's program has been based on the traditional nursery school model," according to Jan Betz, Access Head Start director. 'The goal is for Meigs County to have that sort of program." · Access also has a child care contract with the Meigs County Department of Human Services, set up through DHS Director Michael Swisher. The program involves numerous agencies in Meigs County. · The Meigs County Coun<;il on Aging, whose director Susan Oliver also serves as Access Head Start Policy Council chairwoman, caters food to the class at Rutland Elementary The Head Start philosophy calls for meals served family-style, instead of cafeteria-style like in most schools, Betz explained. "It's good business that local agencies support one another," said Hopkins. "It's good to support each other." Another county agency, the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney's Office is involved with Head Start through the Early lnte.rvention program which will start in Middleport next month, said Lentes . Early Intervention will offer the same services offered at Carleton School when the program was housed there, he said. It ties into the mental health aspect of the Head Start program and it's administrating agency, Access to Human Resource Development. The Early Intervention program deals with issues of teen pregnancy, wellness and works with at-risk kids 0-3 years old. At-risk children are those with a risk of developmental disorders, including environmental and economic risks, he explained. Shirrin Nuggud, former owner of Gingerbread House, was retained as specialisVadministralor of the preschool which also retains its existing staff. "We are still taking care of children ... giving quality care," Nuggud said. The center provides day care services for children infants to age 12, she said. School age children are dropped off at the center before school, or dropped off at the center after school to wait for their parents. Staffers even help children with their homework, she said. The center. is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., she said, adding those hours may increase. Head Start is currently talking with the University of Rio Grande about evening child care ·due to upcoming classes at the Meigs County URG Branch in Middleport. "We get to serve more kids and families, closer to home in the way they want to be served," said Hopkins. • ,I MICHAEL VN, 2 yesrs, slowly wakes up from her after- noon nap.

R·io child development center looks to alternative sources of funding By JENNIFER RICHTER Tlmea-Sentlnet Stall RIO GRANDE- The University of Rio Grande has been operating the Rio Grande Child Development Center for five years now but as monies diminish the unive'..Sity and Center have been forced to seek other funding options. On February 21, the University's Board of Trustees voted to enter into a contract with Access Head Stan to operate the child development center. Through a state grant the center was built but no money was available to maintain the day-to-day costs of the center so the university took on this responsibility. The center originally opened as a laboratory school for early childhood majors from the university five years ago. Since opening, the center has operated from parent fees, county and university funds but the funds were not adequate to maintain the facility to meet the needs of the children and parents. Since the university was responsible for getting the center built, when contracting with Access Head Start, a stipulation was added allowing university students to continue to use the center to observe students for classes such as educat ion, social work, nursing, psychology and drama courses. Although the center is now officially under Access Head Start operation, the center will stay a community center that is available 19 anyone who seeks full-day, full-year early child care and education. The nationally accredited facility will continue to maintain its standards to meet national criteria. One way to do this is by keeping the child to teacher ratio ldw which the center tries to do by having only 47 children in the program. Currently, there -are a limited number off spaces available for those families seeking child care assistance for their infants, toddlers, or preschoolers. "The staff . here all have their associate degrees in early childhood development and have main- · tained the quality of care at the center," explained Jan Betz, Access Head Start Director. "Parents can have a high level of trust when there is a high Ieve I of care by a center that has quality staff." "We have -.a C established our· selves as a quality center," WADE, 2 yeare, spends his time building said Valerie . and pltylng wttfl toys. Children at the center Valcntmc~ ch1ld sreencoureged to do hsnds-on activities as care spec1ahst an aid to developing motor akllls. for the Rio Center. \, The quality of care will remain the same wiih Head Start taking over but Services will continue to be enhanced also with this additiqnal funding source. "The addition of Head Start funding increases the possibilities for programming for children and families," said Betz, "Child care is new to Head Start · we are not accustomed to providing children full day care." . "Head Start's goals are to further develop the social competency of children," said Betz. "While we are not an academic program we believe in incidental learning and providing an enriching environment for children and families. We support parents as the child's first educator." NATHANIEL, 3 years, plsys In one of the child devt~lop­ m•nt center's rooms. With Head Start operating the center, those families eligible for help with child care through Head Start can do so as long as they are attending school or work when they seek the care. "We want parents to be going to school or working," said Betz. "To do that we want child care to be an affo rdable option." The reason Head Start was able to take over the operation of the facility is due to increased state funds available for child care for infants and toddlers. Head Start is seeking to expand into existing day cares while influencing the Head Start welfare to work initiative. Head Start will bring additional services to children and families including: providing parent involvement, education, mental health, health support both medical and dental, and disability services. Every child enrolled in Head Start is eligjble for these services. The organization is also working toward providing transportation in the ncar future for all children coming to the Rio center. "This is one of the unique features of this expansion," said Betz. "We are trying to remove this as an obstacle for parents not working.or going to school." Access Head Start is a division of Access to Human Resource Development, a private, not-for-profit agency operat ing seven Head Start si tes and serving over'400 children. The agency began in 1988.and became a grantee of Head Start in 1995. At Access, there is a five member board of directors that control all the programs within the agency. The main job of the board is to control the funding and employment of the sites. Their future goal is to add more sites thrqugh additional funding. Access relies on funds from Head Start, welfare reform and private fees. , To inform parents and the community of the newly contracted services of Head Start in Rio Grande, an informational meeting will be held on March 24 starting at 6:30p.m. at the Rio Grande Child Development Center located at the corner of East College Avenue and North College Avenue. �• Page C2 • -'~ a!tua.--'mtlud Sunday, March 15, 1998 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Point Pleasant, WV Sunday, March 15, 19~ Lewis Family to perform at Racine bluegrass shoVM RACINE - The Lewis Family, player, while also being skilled with known as the "First Family of Blue- the auto harp, bass, ma,ndolin and grass Gospel Music" will be per- guitar.

Wiley's attorney, Ron Motley, asked Appleton if B& W admits that cigarette smoking causes even one death each year. "It very well may," Appleton said. He was read a statement made on television in 1977 by a former Brown & Williamson official: "We don't think it's a question of safer cigarettes, we think all of our cigarettes are safe."

Students at the school are on a drive to collect the plastic milk jugs with a goal of 25,000. The Bradbury students hope to win $11,000 worth of playground equipment through the drive. The winning school will be selected on the basis of the number of containers collected per student. The 25,000 goal means that each student at Bradbury will be credited for having collected 250 containers. Principal Rusty Bookman thinks that accomplishment should spell out a win for the Bradbury students. Now here's the ·problem. As of March 9, students were short 7,000 of the 25,000 goal with the deadline being March 31. So you are being asked to save those containers and turn them in at the 'sc hool or at the Manley Recycling Center in Mid.dlcport so goal will be reached . If ·you do, indeed, take your contrihution direct to the recycling center be sure to indicate that it is to help the Bradbury School so student s will get proper credit.

In 1947 another member of the Baird family, Wayne started the Ohio \;'alley Wrecking Company at Kanauga. In the early I 950s Oscar Baird began selling Farmall and Case tractors from 1216 Eastern Avenue: In due time he added "serviceable" used cars to his business. About I951 Baird went into partnership with Carl Nibert and the pair had the Plymouth/DeSoto dealership at 1216 Ea<tern Avenue as well as the tractor and used parts business. The name used for the new car dealership was Carl Nibert Motors. In late 1952 the new car dealership name was changed to Baind Motor Sales. The .firm continued to sell new Plymouths and DeSotos. !!very Baird ad in the Daily Tribune made mention of the fact that nationally DeSoto was .the sponsor for the Groucho Marx radio and television show (NBC) as well as the Medallion Theatre (CBS). In the early 1950s Gallipolis automobile shoppers had lots of choices: Studebakers were sold at Second and Grape, Packards at Fourth and Pine, and Fords, Ply- mouths, Dodges, Chtyslers, Chevro- . lets and Oldsmobiles were sold downtown. Rees Motors at Third· and Court Streets sold the Pontiac, and just down Third Avenue was the Buick Garage operated by Ed Judy to 1954 and then after that by Vaught Smith, Out Eastern Avenue past Bairds one co~ld find the Kaiser Garage. The DeSoto fl rst came out in 1929 and in its first year set all sorts of records for sales with 81 ,065 purchased. The DeSoto waS' named for the Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto who discovered the Mississippi River in 1541. Walter Chrysler developed the DeSoto as a mid -price auto between the larger Chrysler and the smaller Plymouth. When the DeSoto was being planned, Chrysler had not yet purchased the Dodge Corporation. In later years the DeSoto competed directly with the Dodge as the midprice car. In the early J 930s Ch.rysler produced on average about twice as many Dodges as DeSotos. But by the late 1930s, due to some ullpopular changes in the design of the DeS- oto, the ratio of Dndge to DeSoto went from two to one to about six to one. In the late '930s a number of DeSotos were seen around the cou ntry as taxicabs. Prnduction of the DeSoto was suspended between 1942 and 194() when the DeSoto plant on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit was switched over to making fuselages for the Martin B-26 Marauder and nose sections for the B-29 airplane. Production of the DeSoto resumed in 1946 and by 1949the car was completely remodeled to become "the car with you in The 1948 DeSoto Suburban was Most of this building at 1216 Eastern Avenue dates to 1940 when called the most Oexible car in histo- constructed by Oscar Baird.

Yes, the series loosely based on ABC's "Nightline" is set in Washtngton. Yes, a number of political figures including Congressmen Richard Gephardt and Barney Frank and Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy make appearances. Franken says he wants "Lateline" to be a classic, character-based sitcom, not a political science lesson. "I hate liberal 1V shows. I hate when shows say they're liberal," he said. "They usually don 't do it well. Also, when comedy shows prosely- tize they're usually not funny . " If anybody takes it on the chin in this show it's probably the media. ... But 1 don't think it's appropriate for this show to be aqout my politica l values," Franken said. The comedy, which debuts 9:30 p.m. EST Tuesday on NBC, stars Franken as the earnest and painfull y untelegenic AI Freundlich. He 's a "Lateline" correspondent who longs to be king - read "anchorman" while carrying the !lame of journalistic integri ty. That glamour spot is filled by Pearce McKenzie (Robert Foxworth), who has the requisite combination of polished air, voice and arrogance. He's not a Ted Koppel parody, says John Ma rkus, who, along with Franken, created and produces "Late!inc." aging, in fact, course through "Twilight." colorin g all action. If anything, that 's what gives "Twilight " its depth: How often do we sedilms about older · chamcters or, rather, older characters whose age is not also the reason for the story7 Too often, age is treated as a jokey gimmick (think "Grumpy Old Men " ) or a sou rce of sadness (because being old is one step removed from death). "Twilight," however, recognizes that people in their 60s and 70s (Newman, after all, is 73) still have daily lives to get through that aren't significant ly different from the rest of us. Except, of course, that they have decades more experience to call upon in coping with problems. Does that make those problems easier to handle? As "1\vilight " shows, not necessarily. If anything, it gives you more emotional. hi story with the people you have to deal with . As Hmy also finds, sometimes it slows the reflexes and fogs instincts that have been honed by years of practice. "I'm getting rusty," Harry observes at one point. " I'm a danger to myself." Though " 1\vilight'"s mystery plot isn't hard to solve, Benton creates exactly the right setting for this story of double-crosses and betrayal. And he and Russo cre.ate an intriguing set of characters to populate the various strata of Hollywood and L.A. society. Newman, in what feels like a kind of valedictory, brings a rueful blend of idealism and broken dreams to the role of Harry Ross.

By JENNIFER L BYRNES GALLIPOLIS · On Wednesday, March 25, 1998, Gallia County tobacco growers will join growers from other Ohio tobacco producing counties at a meeting with legislators in Columbus.· This event has been organized by the officers and· directors of the newly formed Ohio Tobacco Growers Association. With the · help of private consultants to the tobacco companies, these legislators and their aides have been organized to take part in a day-long program with the tobacco producers. At 9 a.m. there will be a legislative briefing with Lt. Gov. Nancy Hollister, Senator Doug White, RepresentativeS Rose Vesper and Dennis Stapleton and Department of Agriculture Director, Fred Daily a< well as candidates for Governor, Bob Taft and Lee Fisher. During the course of the day, growers will break off into groups and have the opportunity to meet with their repre~entatives. With all the talk about a possible settlement and subsequen't buyout, growers are obviously very concerned about the fate of tobacco, and many feel that the producers have been lost in the shuffle of politics and the tobacco companies. Tobacco growers who feel this way should take advantage of this opportunity. lt is a chance to talk one-on-one with our law makers and to open their eyes to the issues facing the growers.

D Gallia County tobacco growers will join others across state for rally in Columbus on March 25 detecting a story that works 'Twilight' By MARSHALL FINE Gannatt Suburban Newspapers "You'd think," says the world· weary voice of Harry Ross, " that the world would lose the power to seduce." And, given that the voice of Harry Ross is coming out of Paul Newman's mouth, you'd assume that he would know. But the statement speaks for itself. You would think that - but, in fact, as Robert Benton's surprisingly touching detective story, "1\vilight," shows, the power to seduce should never be underestimated. Certainly Ross thinks he's seen it all. At retirement age, Harry, a former cop and private eye, lives at the house of two old friends: former movie . stars Jack Ames (Gene Hackman) and his wife Catherine (Susan Sarandon). He runs errands for them and serves as a kind of ftX-it guy, having earned free rent in the room over the garage for retrieving their runaway daughter Mel (Reese Witherspoon) from Mexico a few years earlier. Indeed, Harry acts like he belongs there, a perception which, as Mel points out, is illusory: "You think you're a member of this fami· ly, " she says, " but you're just hired help." As if to prove it, Jack asks Harry to deliver an envelope full of cash to a name at an address, neither of which are familiar. Though Harry's instincts tell him it's a blackmail payment, he owes Jack the favor. But at the address, he finds a dying man who takes several shots at Harry before expiring. Harry checks the dead man's ID and visits his apartment, where he is collared by the police. Though he talks his way out of that situation, he knows he's already hip-deep in unexplained intrigue - and that Jack and Catherine are involved in it. Yet he 's still too far under the spell of his friends' movie-star glamour to walk away. Written by Benton and Richard Russo (both of whom collaborated with Newman on "Nobody 's Fool"), "Twilight" recalls Benton's little-seen 1977 gem, "The Late Show," another detective story that was as much about a detective coping with his own mortality as with the case he 's trying to solve. The twin themes of mortality and "Our anchor is an amalgam of b~eaking stories. But don't look for police lineup. dad and seeing comicS like Buddy many anchors. He's venal.

Allow sufficient room to move easily around the bench and to ~ommodate large projects bristling wtth clamps. For most people, the ideal height for a workbench is 34 inches to 36 inches. If you need a shorter or taller surface, choose a height midway between your waist and your hips. Make your workbench surface as large as possible so that you have room for features and have plenty of work space. The ma~imum length of a basic WQrkbench is usually 8 feet. so that the top pieces can be cut from Standard sheets of plywood. Once you have decided on the size of your bench and what shape would work best for you. draw up detailed plans on graph paper. Show where special features such as drawers. a lazy susan or shelves will be located. Calculate the spaces required and mark the measurements, on, the plan. For example, if you want to store a 20-inch diameter shop vacuum under the bench, you'll need to plan for a space at least 24 inches wide to get in and out easily. Take maximum advantage of stan· dard lumber sizes. to have as liule .waste as possible. Also consider both economy and practicality in choosing wood for the workbench. You can use construction-grade lumber and plywood for the bench framing. shelves and leg panels. But for the top. buy NC or B/C grade plywood. Put the better grade facing up. This will give you a smooth work surface.

You can install electrical power almost anywhere on the workbench. Mount electrical power strips on the workbench and plug them into nearby wall outl~ts . Or. for a permanent installation, run plastic-sheathed cable from a wall outlet or power panel to various spots on. the workbench, protecting it with metal conduit. Install surface-mount electrical boxes and receptacles on the edge of the wort bench under the ovemanging bench top. Have the work done by a licensed electrician to make sure that it conforms with your local code. Here are some other bench tips: - Tack a cutting strip from a foil or plastic wrap box to the edge of your workbench and use it to cut tape and cords. An old hacksaw blade will also work. Mount the cutter on an edge that's easily accessible but where you're unlikely to brush against it. -To avoid staining your bench top with paint. mount an old window shade on one end. When you're ready to paint, just pull out the shade and hook it to a shade hook at the oth· er end. Let it dry before rerolling it. - A workbench top takes a lot of punishment.

The Central Ohio Poison Center also reminds parents to "poison proof' their home by looking for "pretty poisons" - products that. through the eyes of a child. look like something good to eat or drink.

COLUMBUS (AP) - For some Ohio prison inmates. death might seem like a better option than life on Death Row. "One of the worst things is the total isolation and utter loneliness," 37-year-old James Filiaggi. Filiaggi was one of 35 Death Row inmates who responded to a survey sent by The Columbus Dispatch. Last month, the newspaper sent questionnaires to the · 174 inmates on Death Row at the Mansfield Correctional Institution. "You get no contact with your loved ones. You talk on the phone in chains when visiting. You're locked in a tiny cell 23 hours a day," said Filiaggi, of Lorain County. who was convicted 'of killing his former wife on Jan. 24, 1994. • Of the already-condemned murderers in Ohio - some of whom have been on Death Row for more than a decade- half don't think they will be e~ecuted, The Dispatch reported Sunday. " People like to think they don' t fear death, and some don't. but that's rare," said Robert VanHook. 38, who killed 25-year-old David Self of Cincinnati in 1985. "I think it's a wake-up call to most people who do take it seriously for a while. but then a~ time passe• they seem to forget or not think about it much."

Parents protest need to give ~II grade·tests COLUMBUS (AP)- Some parents who have found out that students don't have to take three of the state's proficiency test• are telling schools not to give their children the examinations. "I'm having more and more par· ents caUa~king about it. I'm having more districts call asking what should . they do," said Paula Mahaley. a consu ltant in the state's Department of Education. Students must pass the ninthgrade test to graduate from high school. But the tests that are given to fourth, si~th and 12th grade students aren't mandatory. Parent~ who want their children to be e~cused from the fourth· or sixthgrade tests can send a note to si:hool as late as Monday. the first day of statewide testing this school year. "There isn't the actual language in the law that says the student must take !he test." said Jan Crandell, assistant director of the assessment and evaluation section of the Education Department. ' The law only requires that districts give the test. Still, the number of students not taking the tests is relatively small. During the last school year. for example. parents of 55 Columbus public school students requested e.emptions from the reading and math sections of the fourth -grade test. The parents said that chi ldren are tested too much and their school districts already do enough to assess how well pupils are doing . Some parents believe that extensive preparations to help children pass the tests are "dun'lbing down" the curricu lum and taking away class time. The exemptions could become a problem in 2002.

Q: I have read quite a bit about the dangers of lead in drinking water, especially as it is associated with <oldered pipe. Have newer solders or techniques eliminated this problem? A: Although lead-free solder is not a source of contamination, lead -containing faucets may pose a problem. Older solder contained equal amounts of tin and lead. Today. there are .several varieties of lead-free solder in use. and they may be a blend ·of two or three metals. A new type consists of about 4 percent copper. about one-half percent si lver and the remainder tin. This solder melts at 452 degrees F to464 degrees F. while lead-based solder melts in the 360 degrees F to 420 degrees F range. Using the new solders is about the same as the older lead-tin solder. Though the appearance of a joint soldered with lead-free solder may not be as nice as with the lead-tin type. it is as strong and watertight. where the larger types will at 'best 6.().1 on Page 4 • t1omes: Questions and ~nswers to plant cactuses successfully Indoors 2·9-5+9-3 ~------------------------------------L-------------------------------------_J By POPULAR MECHANICS The stock sizes you use should For AP Special Features correspond to the proportions of If you're adding a room or remod- your room.

We have tried using mesh sacks f1lled with cal· cium chloride to reduce the odor but find them ineffective. Occasionally. the sacks drip water. How can we decrease the odor? A: The sacks hanging in. your basement absorb moisture in the air. but they are not as effective as a mechanical dehumidifier in reducing the moisture that leads to mold and mildew growth. You need an electric dehumidifi er. These appliances have a humidity control and will run continuously until the humidity selling is reached. The water that they conden.se out of 1he air. known as condensate. collects in a tank. You have to manually empty the tank. pump !he condensate to a disposal drain. or drain it with a hose to a floor drain. The fact that you detect the odor in the basement during the spring and summer is significant. During warm weather. the basement is cooler than ·the outdoors. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air. When the warm outside air works its way into the basement. ils temperature drops and causes the relative humidity in the basemen! to increase. Aside from contributing to mold and mildew growth. this makes the basement air feel clammy and uncomfortable during the summer. Q: I'm removing a parquet floor from terrazzo.
