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. I have begged Janet 10 make her marnage complete instead of accepting these affairs, but she doesn' t wanllo g1ve up her lover, and her husband refuses to stop see ing his woman friend I am really connicted about tht s and need your guidance. Should I keep trying, or should I stay out of it? --A Concerned Mom Dear Mom: I can understand why this is painful for you, but apparently, no one has asked your opimon. My advice can be found m the last four words of your leiter. Dear Ann Landers: A while back, you printed a leuer from someone whose 86-year-old uncle was still driving against his doctor's ad voce, despite repeatedly failing the driver's lest I'd like to share my family's experience. Grandpa was 85 and still driving even though he. had been involved in several minor accidents. None of those accidents was reponed to his insurance company because he paid for the damages out of his pocket My family became concerned. We tned to get the stale to revoke his license or get his tnsurance taken away, whtch would have given us an excuse to insist that he stop driving. Nothing worked All we could do was pray for Grandpa to come to his senses before he killed someone. One night after a dtnner at my parents' house, Grandpa got into his car, which was parked right behind my mother 's car. Idiotically, we garet Truman.

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.

Term-limits backers near lame-duck status By DONALD M. ROTHBERG Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - A few JUntor House members arc wollmgly headed toward lame-duck status and Jegolomatcly can wonder now whether three os enough They are the term lomns hard-hners elected to the House m 1994 after promo so ng to serve no more than three two-year terms Congress os an mstotuuon that moves at glacial speed Power, for the most pan. falls to those who stay the longest Commottee chatrmanshtps usually arc determoncd by semonty "You can always say two more years, two more years, then before you know ll, you've heen here 40," satd Rep Man Salmon of Arizona, one of the Repubhcans elected in 19Q4 m the pohucaltidal wave that gave the GOP control of the House for the first tome on 40 years. Salmon promtsed the voters he would only serve three terms. "I'm commg on my last run." said the 40-year-old congressman Asked whether s" years was enough time to make a dent m the entrenched system, Salmon rephcd, "You look at productiVIty rna variety of ways To me, success IS m the overall pohcy," and the Repubhcans elected for the firstume m 1994 "had more mnuence"than most freshmen One of the most VIStble of that group was Rep. George Nethercun of Washmgton , who defeated then-House Speaker Thotnas Foley. Ltkc Salmon, Nethercun told voters he would not serve more than three House ICIJllS. Now he admtls he is not certain. "I meanttl (tn 1994) when I satd six years is enough," he said. But his three years tn Congress have shown htm that many issues are so complicated that "IllS probably not enough." " If I'm gomg to go another two years, I'd tell people, and tell people why. and let the chtps fall where they may," Nethercuu said. House MaJOnty Leader Dtck Armey, R-Texas, satd he has changed hts mmd about term limtts. Stx years JUSL IS not enough time, he said, and he considers wonnrng enactment of a nat tax, one of his pet project.s, a 10-year battle "If you're gomg to have btg projects, you're gomg to have to have more years " Armcy satd Recalhng hos earlier support for term hrntts, Armey said: " I'm back to Jcavmg 11 up to the voters back m the dtstnct " Now that hiS party IS m the maJonty '" the House, Republican Natoonal Cha~rman ltm Ntcholson saod "There IS merit to term limtls, but term hmot s on the House probably ought to be a hllle longer."

Book publisher lost interest in Willey's story WASHINGTON (AP) - A pub· lisher who discussed a book deal ll(tlh Kathleen Willey's auomey satd today he lost mtere'' m the proJeCt partly because the account provided by the former White House volunteer on televiston was "a dtfferem story " than the one he heard from her lawyer. Wtlley emerged from the shadows to descnbe a 1993 encounter wnh President Clinton followmg her testimony to a federal grand JUry. "The Kathleen Wtlley presented on (CBS') '60 Minutes' was a dtfferent person w11h a dtfferent story than the portratlthat had been pamled for me m the last couple of months," said Michael Vmer, head of New Millennium Entertaonment m Beverly Htlls. Caltf. Viner told ABC's "Good Momtng America" that Mrs. Willey's lawyer had approached hom earlter. seekt ng $300,000 for a book that presented her as "a fan, a friend who cared about Prestdent Clinton." Vmer saod he-had hts doubts ahoutthe book idea even before hc;r "60 Minutes" appearance. Viner dtd not say that the lawyer. Daniel Gecker, had offered a different vers1on of Mrs. Willey's Nov. 29, 1993. encounter with Cltnton when 1the two men diScussed the book pro- Jecl weeks before Mrs. Willey's televised account. Gecker has acknowledged approaching Viner to determine if he wou ld be 1nterested m such a book but told The New York Ttmes that Viner satd the "60 Minutes" appearance could reignlle mterest in the book. Gecker said he suspected Mrs . Wolley's natiOnally televised allegauon that Cl mton made an unwanted sexual advance m the Oval Oftice would k1ll any chance for the book. the Times reported. In another development, reports today satd Mrs. Wtlley gave a sworn state ment three years ago that dtdn 't mention her encounter in which she now says the presodent fondled her. The sworn statement m January 1995 was m response to lawsuots brought by credttors following the suoctde of Mrs Wtlley 's husband and mcluded detaols of her activities at thatttme, the Richmond Times-DISpatch said. ' In the 1995 document obtatned by the newspaper, Mrs Willey said she "dtd not talk wtlh anyone at the Whole House" about aspects of her financial plight.

Slurping up the first-ever com flakes - soggy and tasteless - in 1898, surely W.K. Kellogg could not grasp this was among the world 's first convenience foods, capable of short· cning breakfasts and lengthening grocery aisles forevermore. Yet I00 years later. Battle Creek, Mich.·bred Kellogg's Com Flakes packs a crunch heard around the globe. Served in 160 nations, with a name and taste recognized everywhere, these simple, slightly nutty flakes have built Kellogg's cereal empire, one with sales totaling an eye.popping $6.83 billion in 1997. On its 100th birthday, Kellogg 's Corn Flakes is identified with the rich and racy - celebrities, Miss Americas, Olympians and NASCAR - yet is found in cup· boards in nearly every home. Ninety-eight percent of u.s. residents have eaten Kello~~·s Corn Flakes at least once in their life. Perhaps no where else on earth are Corn Flakes as important as .in the Cereal City. Since the city's turnof-the-century Cereal Boom, when Kellogg's Corn Flakes' success spawned I05 imitations in si x years, the flaky cereal has made Battle Creek, Mich., a world-famous town. Evidence Df the cereal's classic appeal still sweetens Battle Creek's air every morning. Kellogg's Porter Street factory employs 1.200 people - half of the cerealmaker's Battle Creek work force - and chums out 800,000 packages of Corn Flakes a day. What they do could be called art. Steve Repack, who worked there 42 years, says the perfect com flake must have "blisters," bumps that pop up from the heat of a 620-degree oven. It results from a complex process that cooks, rolls and toasts each com grit into a single cereal flake. Before automation, the heat of worldwide. (In fiscal 1997, troops ate almost 19,000 cases.) Kellogg's Corn Flakes even has been seen as a ready-to-eat Kramer sni\Ck on Sein· feld's kitchen shelves.

Medicine, GrosveDOr Hall, Answer: Fatigue is a common Athens, Ohio 45701. complaint among those going to • . their . family doctor. Many of my · patients • instead of choosing the . _word "fatigue" · say that they are ! ·weary, are constantly tired or have · ~G :energy. But, these terms all mean about the same thing. An abnonnality in practically any body system can produce fatigue. That 's why th~ physician needs to treat each case of fatigue like a detective. His or her job is to find the clues necessary to solve the mys· tery. The first step is to interview the patient about the development of the sy mptoms and relevant medical his.wry. Then, more evidence .is galh·. ered by conducting a physical exam· ination and analyzing the results of a .fifSJ . battery of tests. At this stage, the· physician-detective often bas a good hunch what the culprit might bt. I assume your doctor has com· pleted these stages and has failed to come up with a "suspect." You should consider that good news. Alt~ough no(l'llal test. results niay seem frustrating to you because they . fail to identify the cause of your ill· ness, they are actually a gOod sign because they suggest that you do not have one of the common but serious causes of fatigue . Diabetes, cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and many other life-threatening condi· tions cause fatigue. These are the sorts of illnesses that we doctors test .for first 'if the history and physical examination fail to direct the search · toward a specific illness. Anemia, low ' thyroid hormone ~~d. a variety of other illnesses ca~ llfSoe subtle symptoms that includ~ fatigue. The most common of th~ se i1fn~sses is depression. ·Unfortunat'· ly', the tenn depression means diffrrent things to different people. I'm not talking about the severe episode where the individual is alternately silting j n the corner crying then try· ing to commit suicide. Most cases of lb. big. depression are more subtle. The day No. 1 Wisconsin may seem gray-even when the sun shines; there appears to be no hope and no fun left in life. There are no blood tests for depression, but there are paper and pencil tests that check for it. Some doctors choose to ask a series of targeted questions instead of using the written form of the test. Surprising· ly, about one half of my patients who. arc depressed refute the test findings . They admit to being ncr· vous, an~ious , easily upset, unhappy at work or home, but they certainly are not depressed! This is the stigma associated with the label "dcpres· wmt nUS rouJ'()N. GOOD ONLY AT ~uuu~ sioil" in our society. This is unfortu· · nate because it often gets in the way of il{dividuals receiving proper treat· ment for their condition. USDA GRADE A I suggest that you return to your doctor for furlfler evaluation of your fatigue. It is a clue to a complex mystery that often takes consider· able time and effort to solve. Com Flakes' spot in Americana. Illustrators included Kewpie Doll creator Rose O'NeiJI and Nonnan Rockwell, who put his brush to the cereal bo~ in the mid-1950s. With the advent of television, Kellogg's Corn Flake§ was advertised on the first children's program ("Captain Kangaroo" ), the first sitcom ("The Beverly Hillbillies" ) and the first Saturday morning cartoon show (Hlmna-Barbera 's "Rllff and Reddy Show" ). . Everyone wanted to crow about the flakes Celebrity endorsers included Jimmy Durante, Dennis the Menace, Arthur Godfrey, Dennis James, Merv Grif· fin and Arl Linkletter. Later, Olympians like Scott Hamilton and Bonnie Blair appeared on cereal boxes. Such a heritage interests salesman Troy Ciers of Battle Creek. He was not surprised to hear that Kellogg's Corn Flakes has lasted a century: "They're so versatile," says Ciers, who prefers only Kellogg's or Post Raisin Bran to Kellogg's Com Flakes. "You can cat them with a variety of fruits to change their taste, and it's still the same cereal " And despite colorful, sweeter cereal choices over the years, none compete easily with "The .Original & Best." Kellogg's Com Flakes consistently has been one of the topselling cereal brands in the nation. In the 1960s, when there were fewer cereal brands, it had I 0 to 15 percent of the market. Tqday, it commands 4 percent of the'' market share. Only Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and General Mills' Cheerios are as popular. Its price contributes to its success. These days it averages $1.83 a pound.

By TIM WHITMIRE Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Lawyers for the children of John F. Kennedy continued last-minute negotiations to stop the sale of memorabilia that i~cluded the late president's journals and letters to his wife. Caroline Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. want the return of "intensely personal" items including two handwritten journals, the · correspondence and a Sl. Christopher medal money clip. Their representatives were negotiating with Maryland collector Rober! White, who is putting up most of the more than 500 items being sold by Guernsey's auction house. · Other items that were to be aucti nned today included campaign trinkets, photos, party invitations, clothes, furniture and a sailboat. '"There are ongoing, current discussions trying to negotiate" a settlement between Mr. White and the Kennedy family members," White's lawyer, Raben Adler, said Tuesday. ln a statement Monday, the Kennedy children asked that some of the most historically and personally valuable items be returned to the family and the Kennedy Library. White received lhe Kennedy memorabilia as a bequest from Evelyn Norton Lincoln, Kennedy's longtime personal secretary, who for years before and after her dealh in 1995 has been ponrayed as fiercely loyal to the president and his memory. Kennedy's children said that loywas betrayed with her collection of their father 's personal items. '"Mrs. Lincoln breached both the "public trust and that of our family," ~ lty the Kennedys said. "The number of items she took for herself, and the intensely personal character of many of them, is overwhelming. ll appears she even went so far as to keep for herself the briefcase and watch that were wilh our father at the time of his death." But White 's attorney and Guernsey's jumped to Mrs. Lincoin's defense. Adler sasJ White was upset by "the auack on Mrs. Lincoln, who served JFK and later the Kennedy family for many years with love and devotion." White's business manager, Allan Bun, said White hopes to open a museum dedicated to Kennedy with the auction proceeds. Arlen Ettinger, president of Guernsey's, said, " It is disappointing that the Kennedy children have chosen unnecessarily 10 sully the name and image of a woman like Evelyn Lincoln who was so dedicated to their father and who was so dear to both of their parents." Adler said White already has removed seven lots from the auction, including .a writing desk used hy Kennedy and six sels of documents. He said the government claimed some of the items endangered national security, while others were believed to properly belong to the American people. · Still up for sale are the gold PT boat pin worn by Kennedy the day before he was assassinated, rocking chairs, a Harvard cardigan and lhe pens Kennedy used 10 sign the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Two years ago, in a sale sponsored by the Kennedy family, Sotheby's bidders paid $34.5 million on 5,000 items from the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. ~' ( .

"How? Their budget would prohibit the use of lobacl!O revenues for tobacco-related activity." Domenici's budget also defies President Clinton, who wams to use tobacco funds for anti-smoking efforts plus hiring public school teashers and boosting child care programs. • Domenici said his budget would finance anti-smoking activities with money from other sources, such as spending cuts. And he cited a Columbia University study that concluded that smoking-related illnesses accounted for about 14 percent of Medicare spending in 1995, or about $25 billion.

Jhe report. requested by the Educaljon Department and the Depanmelll of Health and Human Services, sa~s no single leaching method is the answer. Allhough it does not take sides, the report strongly emphasizes the:need for children to learn the relationship between ktters and sounds. !V1any debates on reading have focused on whether phonics or whole language is the liest approach. Propotients of phonics say children shquld learn how to manipulate sounds: break words into pans and understand the relationships between leu)!rs and the sound~ they make. ~upponers of whole language say children should learn lo read ~Y being immersed in liter~lure, keeping jou~nals, writing leuers and reading often. both aloud and silently. , The repon. touching another controversy. says children. whose first language is nol English should first learn to read in their native language .

In addition, children should con· tinue lo draw connections between sounds and leiters. it said. "Those who have staned to read independently, typically at second grade or above, should be encouraged to sound oul and identify unfamiliar words." the repon said. Instruction should promote vocabulary. and writing exercises should be given every day. Invented spelling. in which children write words as they sound: can help, the report said. but conventional spelling skills musl be developed. "Primary grade children should spell previously studied words correctly in their tina! writing products." il said. The repon says reading specialists are imponant, and it urged 'that teachers be trained in the relationship between language and reading. Many teachers now are inadequately prepared. the repon said. Clinton, in his plan to hire I 00,000 new teachers, has stressed the need for preparation among educators who teach reading. But the panel pointed oulthe shoncomings of another presidential proposal to create an army of volunteer tutors.

Yetihe nation spends only 20 percent of its $17 billion drug-control budget to treat addicts, and the public believes that jailing addicts is best, a bipartisan group of public health experts said Tuesday. " We ' ve been telling people to 'just say rto' when addiction is a biological event." said Dr. June Osborn. who chai•s the new Physician Lead. ership on National Drug Policy. "There must be a bridge between what the public believes and the science," added Dr. Lonnie Bristow of the American Medical Association. The group of prominent physicians and public health leaders from the Clinton. Bush and Reagan administmtions commissioned the research. They are using it to urge doctors to play a greater role in diagnosing and treating addiction - and are providing it to politicians who control drug-treatment.money. Many of the 14 million American alcoholics and 6.7 million drug addicts relapse after drug treatment, but the scientists concluded that: -Jailing a drug addict costs $25.900 per year. A year of trnditional outpatient drug treatment costs $1,800, intensive outpatient care costs $2.500. methadone treatment for heroin users costs $3,900 and.res' idential drug-treatment programs range from $4,400 to $6.800 a year. - Drug treatment can cut crime ' by 80 percent, said Brown University addiction director Norman Hoffman. Brown researcher Cmig Love studied female substance abusers who were in jail, and found that 25 percent who underwent treatmem were Inter re-arrested, vs. 62 percent released without substance abuse treatment. ACalifornia study of I.600 drug nbusers found their involvement in drug sales, drug -related prostitution and theft decreased threefold after treatment. - Every dollar invested in drug treatment can save $7 in societal and medical costs. said former Assistant Health Secretary Philip Lee. - Long-term drug treatment is as effective as long-term tremment for chronic diseases, said Dr. Thomas McLellan of the University of Pennsylvania. One -year relapse rates for the diseases and for addicts all are about 50 percent, he said . Compliance with therapy is similar, too : Fewer than half of di abetics comply with their therapy, as do fewer than 30 percent of asthma and hyperten-· sion patients nnd fewer than 40 percent of alcohol or drug abusers. -Drug treatment also helps soci ety's health , McLellan said. Heroin users, for example. are at huge risk of catching and spreading the AI OS viru s or hepntiti s. A seven-year study of heroin addicts found 51 percent who never entered drug treatment caught HIY during that period. vs. 21 percent of treated addicts . Yet. there is a severe shortage of drug-treatment programs, the doctors said . 1\bout 15 percent of people who need treatment get it. Seven states don 't offer any methadone clinics for heroin addicts, and every U.S. methadone clinic has a wai,ing list. Only 5 percent to 20 percent of pregnant drug abusers can get drug treatment because of too few programs, inability to pay or too few inpatient programs that will accept the woman's other children, said Pennsylvania's Dr. Jeffrey Merrill. The findings conflict with public opmton. An analysis of surveys being publi shed today in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds support for increased spending on drug treatment has dropped from 65 percent in 1990 to 53 percent in 1996. In contrast. 84 percent of Americans say the solution is tougher criminal penalties. Next on the list are anti-drug education, more police and mandatory drug testing . The survey also found Americans believe drug abusers are predominantly poor, uneducated and minorities . In fact. the majority are like Dr. Richard Corlin's son. once a·cocaine addict: white, from well-educated families and initially employed. Dispelling those myths is vital to public commitment for drug treatment, said Corlin, a Los Angeles medical professor. "People think it is someone else's problem. II is not. ..

MARCH18I �Page 16 • The Dilly Sentinel Pomeroy • Middleport, Ohio Asian crisis pulls U.S. economy in two directions WASHINGTON (AP) - Asia's economic crisis is pulling the American economy in two directions: dampening manufacturing through increased export competition and boosting housing construction through lower interest rates. Construction of new single-family homes and apanments rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.64 million units last month, up 6 percent from January and the highest level since November 1987. the Commerce Department said. Meanwhile. acconding to the Federal Reserve, the nation's industrial production was 'line hanged in February for the first time since October 1996. Economists said the report showed the impact of reduced export sales to economically ailing countries in Asia and increased competition from Asian imports. "The industrial sector is slowing in reaction to Asian developments," said economist Gerald Cohen of Merri II Lynch. Wall Street thrived on the mi~ of news. The Dow Jones average of industrial stocks rose 31 points to 8. 750. its second consecutive record dose. The unchanged February performance for indu.<trial production. which followed a small. 0.1 percent increase in January, was attributed in part to the third strdight monthly decline in the assembly of cars and light trucks. Jerry Jasinowski, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, said factories making aircraft and industrial machinery have been particularly hun by slumping e~port sales to Asia. However. demand for technology cominued strong. with computer output up 1.8 percent and semiconductor production increa.<ing 2.4 percent. By sector. production was unchanged in manufacturing. down 0.3 percent at mines and oil fields and up 0.9 percent at utilities. The slack month eased some of the inllationary strain on industry, with the capacity usc rate sinking from 83 percem to 82.7 percent and. at factories alone, from 82.2 percem 10 81 .8 percent. Manufact~ring is e~pected to bear the brunt of the Asian currency crisis. But so far the troubles have proved more of a boost than ·a drag to the rest of the economy. Thirtyyear mortgage rates hovered around 7 percent in both January and February. That's only happened once previously - in late 1993 -during the past 25 years. · Rising income and the lowest unemployment rate in 24 years are giving consumers the confidence to purcha.~ homes.

It was the largest drop since December 1~.

Newapapar Eastern board rejects proposed funding changes By BRIAN J. REED Sentinel News Staff The Eastern Local Boand of Education went on record as opposing a proposed state sales tax for school funding when it met in regular ses-· sion on Wednesday evening. The board unanimously passed a resolution rejecting House Bill 650 and House Bill697, which propose a one-cent per dollar sales ta~ increase and change the method for school funding through "property Ia~ relief." Superintendent Deryl Well referred to the proposals as "llawed versions." in an attempt to fi~ the school funding dilemma in the state education system. According to Well, the Eastern Local School District will receive less funding from the state, percentagewise. than it did from 1990 to 1996. because the proposal eliminates equity funding to poorer school districts.• .In other action. the board met with Eastern High School Prin~ipal Clayton Butler to further discuss possible . enhancement of the high school curriculum. Butler reponed that·he h~d it\Vestigated the possibility of adding mathematics and science courses to the school's offerings. including space ~cience, calculus, anatomy and physiolo~v or e.nvironmental chemistry, which would be offered to students who are not enrolled in college preparatory course work.
