Dear Ann Landers: Recently, read in The Washington Post about a situation where maybe you can help. Please, Ann, consider it. Here's the news s1ory : Police arc searching for a bigger home for a Largo, Fla., man, his 22 children and two of their mothers after finding all 25 living in a twobedroom, one-bath house. The two mothers are sisters who -have taken the man ·s last name, even though neither is married to him. One is the mother of nine of-his children, the other the mother of five. A third sister who no longer lives with the family is the mother of the other eight ch ildren. police said. Police said they discovered the family while investigating an unrelated complaint in the neighborhood. They said the family was not breaking any laws and appealed to the· public to help them find a house with five or more bedrooms they could afford. Ann, according to the dictionary, "bigamy" means to marry a second time while knowing the first marriage is legally still in effect. No marriages means no crime. Am I right about this ' Please respond in the paper, Ann. That man in Largo needs your help. -Dismayed in Va. Dear Dismayed: The man in Largo did not ask for my help, and it's just as well. I would have been tempted to give htm more "help" than he bargained for. He seems to think his problem would be solved if he had a Ngger house. In my opinion, what he really needs is a vasectomy. . Dear Ann Landers: I own a small but profitable business and have made it a' practice to give annual bonuses based on time served and category of sa laries. I've been doing · this for 16 years. Only two employees ever said "thank you." Th0se two are no longer with me . One passed away, and the other one took early retirement. · I have decided to give no bonuses this year. Of course, there will be questions because .my employees have come to expect that midyear gift. I am prepared to give this brief response : "There will be no bonuses this year because not one employee has taken the time and trouble to say 'thank you."' . Please print my letter and your reaction to my decision . -Philadelphia Dear Phil.: Congratulations for having the courage to put an end to the handouts. For years, I have been receiving letters from aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends who want to know what to do about gifts that are not acknowledged . I suggest they ask if lhe gift was received since tbere is always the possibility that it was lost in transit. · In your case, however, that possibility docs not exist. I applaud your bravery and hope others who own small businesses will follow your example. People who can't crank up the energy to say "thank you" should not continue tJ be gifted and let off the hook. Dear Ann Landers: Raben M. Hutchins, a tru.ly brilliant man (he became president of the University of Chicago at age 29), made this pronouncement: " We have triumphantly invented, perfected and distributed to the humblest cottage throughout the land one of the greatest technical marvels in history, tele- vlston. And for what? To bring Coney Island into every home." Do you agree, Ann?- J.H.E. Dear J,H.E.: Hutchins was indeed brilliant , but TV has improved enormously since he made that statement. He would be aston, ished if he could see what splendid fare TV offers today, especially on public broadcasting. To my dear daughter, Margo: Happy binhday. May they all be as joyous as this one.

"I think he's doing a very good job for this country," said Bob Kessler, who attended Gingrich's speech. "His speei:h was ambitious and he had some very good ideas for the country." In addition to a $50-a-plate diimer . and S1,000-a-head reception, Gin- ~· grich visited a local Goodwill Inc. retail store and workshop where he praised the establishment's efforts at taking people off welfare. " In the la.<t year. thi s place took 56 people off the welfare roll s and stalled teaching 'them about work," he said. " Irs that kind of elfort that has helped us reduce the number of people on welfare across the country and enabled us to not only balance the budget but run a surplus." • The speaker's visit was not welcomed by Democratic hopeful Rob Burch, who is challenging Ney for the 18th District seat. Burch criticized his opponent for using Gingrich a.~ the draw for the fundraiser.;. Burch accused the incumbent of flip-flopping by getting Gingrich 's help this year, after spuming . such help in 1996 when Gingrich was the focus of an ethics ca.~e. i Burch, who lost the election to INey two years ago, on Monday distributed an excerpt from a 1996 radio interview in which Ney said, "I'm not going to bring the Speaker into the district." Burch said it's clear Ney has changed his mind about the speaker. "We need a congressman who will fight for working families, not someone who embr~ces Newt Gingrich's policies that benefit the rich at the expense of the middle class." Burch said Monday in a news relea.o;e. While Gingrich still has his opponents in public, Ney said the public's perception of Gingrich seems to have improved since 1996. when the ethics case against Gingrich was still unresolved . " Newt Gingri_ch this time around is not the .whipping boy he was." said Ney, adding that he didn't believe his 1996 campaign distanced itself from Gingrich as much a.~ his words then suggested. "Last election. I ran on myself,'' he said. "I didn't embr~ce (Gingrich) nor distance myself." Two years ago, Ney pulled 50 percent of the vote in the eastern Ohio district, compared with 46 percent for Burch. On his return to Congress. Ney emerged as one of Gingrich's staunchest supponers and became a trusted adviser at a time when some other congressional Republicans 1were discussing a possible leadership •overthrow. �' ..

Citing two facts from a "Shoot-away" brochure, Caldwell said, "Fact number one: 'A player will not get better just because he gets older!' and 'fact number two: As a player gets older. he practices less.' Gentlemen. that is why we have to continue to work hard throughout the summer to improve our game. We have to be in the gym this summer as a team in order to get Southern ba.ketball back to a winning leveL" In closing. Caldwell said, "In 1988 after winning the District Championship. I remember riding a Greyhound bus to Dayton. Ohio for the regionals. Ten short years later... there was no bus and there was no . championship.

Dear Ann tanders: I am a widow, age 68. My daughter, "Janet. " has been mamed for 25 years to a conservattve, kmd, hardv.orking man . "Jim" IS a good father to the1r two sons . who are now m college. I have never asked my daughter about her sex life. out she recent ly volunteered some mformation that upset me . Janet told me ,he loves Jim . out he was never very good in bed, and she felt somewhat "deprived." Then, she dropped a bombshell. She has been seeing a divorced man for I0 years and vtstts hts apartment once a week. She says she is m love with him . Believe it or not, Jim knows about her inftdelily and has not protested. To make mailers even more compltcated, Jim is havmg an affmr with a woman he works wt th . Janet knows about n and does not object Jtm and Janet have no desire to separate or divorce. They seem quite content to allow thts sltuauon to conunue forever. They went 10 a marriage counselor early on, but nothmg was accompltshed hccausc Time Out For Tips BY BECKY BAER Family and Consumer Sci· encesl Community Develop· ment Figures suggest that today almost 10 million children have access to the Internet. Even though "surfing the Internet" is a fairly harmless acltvlly. chi ldren may become taken tn by computer predators. Actual statistics dealing with computer crimes ~gainst children arc incomplete, but if parents establish some basic rules of safely regarding the use of the computer, they can breathe a little easier. To begin with, many parents become warned about lhetr chtldren 's computer usage, because they themselves don't know how to use them. If parents would learn more about the Internet, what is on it, how to use it, etc., it will help lhrm understand what potentially may hann their children. Parents should instruct their children 10 never gi ve out personal infonnation such as their last name, address. phone number, age, grade tn school or gender. This may cause problems on certam web sues that require thts informallon to access them . In these cases. the chtldren could look for web sites that don 't requtre the personal data, parents could give thetr own mforrnauon , or the children could prov ide false mforrnation Some parenls may not go along with thi s last suggcsttun , because it may be understood as encouraging the child to lte. But tt can also be vtewed as lettmg the chtldren know that they have the right to protect thetr privacy in Cyberspace. Another important rule that parents should stress is that !heir children should never arrange to meet anyone that they have mel through the Internet without thetr parents permission. Children should also tell their parents about any behavior or language that makes !hem feel uncomfortable. The possibility of children being exposed 10 pornography and other unsuitable material , causes alarm to most parents. Software can be purchased that will block their children's access to web sites such as violence, sex, hate, or advertising for smoking, alcohol, and drugs. This software is not fool proof so parenls should stJil keep a close eye on what is going on. Finally the best thing for parents to do is to commumcate openly with their children about values, standards, and ethical behavior, whether it is concerning Cyberspace or life in general. Parents can ask what their children are domg on the Internet and sit beside them as they go surfing . By communtcating and monitorin g what lhetr children are researchmg. - parents will have a better chance of keeping thetr children safe neither wanted 10 change anything.

Now, Twentieth Century Fox is involved in a fight to keep Benjamin Suarez from profiting from "Titanic" men:handisc. COLUMBUS (AP) - Voters must take lhe Legislature at its word that property-tax relief will come out of the sales-tax increase on the May 5 ballot. a leading opponent of the tax said. Lawmakers arc discussing two approaches to property-tax relief as pan of their school-funding solution. Homeowners would get half of the sales-tax increase; schools would get the rest. However, no plan will be in place before Ohioans vote on !he issue, legislative leaders said Tuesday. . Infonnal legislative discussions have focused on providing a proper· ty-lax credil on homeowners' income-tax returns or increasing the amount of property tax that the slate picks up, or a combinalion of both, said House Speaker Jo Ann David· son, R-Reynoldsburg. But what lawmakers do now is meaningless because the ballot issue doe.s _nqt m.~ui~ . tjlem t!> ~~p thei~ word; Cleveland conservauve ~ist David Zanoni said. ·" "Not only can lhe Legislalure change the language of the tax, but !hey don't even have a plan yel on how they will or won't do propertylax relief, nothing more than a promise," Zanotti said from his office. Davidson bristled ol lhe notion that Legislature has misled the voters. She said both the school money and property-tax relief are guaranteed. "I really lake issue with people who say the Legislature won't keep their commitment," she said. The Ohio Supreme Court, in rul: ing !hat the curnent funding plan is unconstitutional, said inequities exist in Ohio's schools in pan because of disparities in propeny-rax rates among the slate's 61 I public school districts. The funding plan the Legislature passed last month asks voters to raise the sales tax from 5 cenrs 10 6 cents on the dollar. If passed, the plan would raise about $J ,( billion per year, to.c.be e"f,hly split between schools and propl!ny-tax · relief for homeowners. But lawmllkers have put off deciding how to divide the lax relief until ·after the election. Both Davidson and Senate President Richard Finan, R· Cincinnati, insisled that no plan will be ready before May 5. The Legisla· ture has only two weeks of scheduled sessions before the election. The original school-funding plan inuoduced last summer included an increase in lhe "rollback" of properly-tax rares that Ohioans have paid since the I 970s. The state would have picked up I2.5 percent of each homeowner's propeny tax. Thai plan was replaced at one point by a plan that would allow homeowners to deduct I0 percent of theirpropeny !axes- up 10$100off of their income taxes. Neither plan went into effect because the larger school-funding plans failed. In the current discussions, the 10 percenl cfed:it would have a $250 cap and the rollba!;k would nearly double, lo about 24 percent, Davidson said. . The $550 million expected to be raised each year for tax relief would cover either plan, she said. Another oplion would be to combine an increase in the rollback wilh a cap. ~avid~on and Finan both stressed !hal lhe ideas were still in the preliminary slage. Also on Tuesday, lhe slate filed arguments against a lawsuit filed by Zanoui !hat calls the election unconstitutional. Zanotti claims lawmakers used a 147 -year-old loophole in the Ohio Constitulion to gel lhe issue on the ballot In documents filed wilh the Ohio Supreme Coun. which look jurisdic· tion in the case Ia~! week, the slate says lhe Legislature did nor exceed its authority, as Zanotti claims. "Plainly, ultimate power in Ohio and under the Ohio Ctmstitution resides with the people," the state says' in a brief filed by Solicitor Jeffrey Suuon. Zanoui bas unlil Friday to file his response. OBES sh·ooting leaves one person dead COLUMBUS (AP) - A slate employee allegedly shol and killed a co-worker today in a downtown office building and critically wounded himself. The shooting just before 9 a.m. at the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services office was apparently a murderallcmpled suicide, OBES spokesman Dave Garick said. The State Highway Patrol. which was investigating the shoaling, planned a news conference later in the morning. Broadcast n:pon.~ said the gunman had previously dated the woman who was shot Garick said he could not confinn the report. ''We're still trying 10 piece that logether," he said. He did say the two, who have not been identified. were bureau workers. Garick said ihe shooting occurred on the second floor, which houses workers who provide a variety of services for tbe rest of the agency, including accounting. architecture and auditing services. About 500 employees in all work in the six-story building. Authorities did not say what kind of gun was used or how it might have been brought into the building. There are no apparent security checkpoints for workers. Workers were removed from the second noor after the shooting. but work continued on other floors . About I0 workers were in the lobby, visibly upset over the shooting. The broadcast reports said the gunman was t:lken to Grant Medical Center and reponed in critical condition. flospital spokeswoman Janet Poner said the man was bein,g evaluated, bul she did not know his condition or det:lil about his wound~.

Local man meets bluegrass stars By SCOTT WOLFE, Sentinel CorrespOndent For Larry and Dolly Wolfe of Racine, what first wa.s a simple night of "entenainmenl" turned inlo a lifelong passion and growing telationship. The now retired school teachers fir1;1 sought local bluegrass shows as a way to relax and get away from the hectic times of teaching up to 180 school kids a day. Now, "Biuegrassing" is a passion thai has led to several personal rela· tionships with some of m11sic's biggest slars. About 20 years ago, Dolly Wolfe coaxed Larry to a local bluegrass perfonnance thai featured The Lewis Family from lincolnton, Ga. One such show was all it took for Lprry, affectionately known around Racine as "Little Fooze." "I saw The Lewis Family perfonn and I really enjoyed it. They were eniCJ13injng, very lalented, and full of ·inspiration." While the Wolfes have been going to bluegrass festivals across the counlry, !hey have become good friends with The Lewis Fwnily. Jim and Jesse McReynolds and the Virginia Boys, and several other stars including Allison Krause and Union Station. "Lillie Roy" Lewis even invited the Wolfes to his house while they wen: vacationing a1 a Bluegrass festival called "The Lewis Family Homecoming" in Lincolnto!l. Larry said, "Little Roy is as friend· ly a person as you could meet The whole family is just a real down to earth type. Now, Little Roy even uses me as the ocapegoat for some of his jokes. You never know exactly what be's going to do." · Wolfe echoed lhc thoughts of "Bluegrass Now" author Sheriy ~oyd, who said, "I've seen the lit- and again." tle Roy Show from.both sides of the Audience members find themselves slage.
