Lou said after the surprise postponement The Sen. ate had been debat.ing the measure, off and on, for most of the week. Earlier. at an East Room ceremony attended by his top natipnal security aides, military leaders lind several senators, Clinton made a renewed pitch for the expansion of the 49year-old alliance. "A new NATO can extend the blessings of freedom and security in · a new ce ntury. With the help of our allies. the support of the Senate. the strength of our cont inued commitment. we can bring Europe together. not by force of arms but by possibilities of peace." Clinton said. "That is the promise of this moment. and we must seize it. " Unaware that Lott intended to postpone the vote. Clinton assened: "A final decision is at hand." The president also urged against an amendment that would impose a three-year freeze on admilling additional members once Poland; Hun- . gary and the Czech Republic are admitted early next year. That. Clinton said, "would fracture NATO's open door consensus." NATO was formed after World War II to confro nt the Soviet Union in Europe. It currently has 16 members.

In a theater's shadows, different lives ·shared a common experience By HATTIE L. TAYLOR Remember when you were a kid, the best bargain in town was the Saturday afternoon matinee ?~ worked all week long to earn the quarter for an afternoon of fun with our friends and siblings at the Grand Theater. Because my friend Mary ForJas ' father ow ned the movie theater on Main Street, I wou ld meet her there, feeling privi leged to the first in line and gaining admission before the others. We would scamper quickly to our seats, kneeling on the soft red velvet cushions facing the rear so that we could si]l· gle out our se lect group of friends and call out to them as they entered. After alL it was important to inspect the brow n paper bag s that each of us carried before the liglns were dimmed and the double feature began. · Because we never had any money beyond the price of admission, Mr. Forjas never opened the concess ion stand. Our mothers would pack each of us a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. an apple. and if we were lucky, freshbaked cookies or a pi&e of homemade cake. The big exchange was prompted by o~y to sample the "s tore bought bread" of our more affluent friends. We never cou ld understand their eagerness to devour the homemade bread in which our sandwiches were encased. Mary 's mother always sent a few extra Greek cookies; Lil Taylor, cinnamon roll s: Mrs . Levine, stnre bought cookies and penny candy: Mrs. Comfort, pizza strips: and the delicious list continues. If we diqn't fancy our select ions, we would scamper around the theater, eKchanging our goods with other acquaintances At long last, the lights would dim, and it was SHOWTIME' Hopalong Cassidy, the Lone Ranger, and all those exciting cowboy :~~i~1su~h~~~~ ~:~ ·~g~~1dg~~~eirn ;;~;h~~eh~~~~dw;~~:~~ t~h~·~~a~~ ~:~~~ .. ance to be maintained. When we enjoy fine weather we often hear people say: "We . will probably pay for this later." While a balance is essential for our globe to be a hospitable environment to inhabit, Weedy there is anmber kind of balance that is also important for a healthful environment. While we have made big strides in understanding influences upon our weather, we are going in the opposite direction when it comes to promoting and enhancing good relationships with one another. Unlike the weather. these are matters that we can and must control unless we decide to settle for chaos. Although the older generation tends to think that matters of what is right and what is wrong arc clearly undemood. this is not entirely the case with many youth and young people today. It seems that with the invention of color television, and lhe demise of the black and white, came the loss of the black and white con- cept of right and wrong. When truth became relative, right and wrong blurred into shades of gray. One could say that man has created man in hi s own image. Have you ever considered what the level of importance really is of being able to tell right from wrong? On a scale of one to I0, would you rate it a I0? We should, because woe comes to those who call evil good, and good evil; to those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness. The physical laws of creation are . true, and no less true are the moral laws. All the sc1ences observe and follow the physical laws and make progress in their efforts. It .makes equal sense for us to both learn and to follow the moral law. None of us is born with this law programmed into our being. In fact , by our actions we show that it is the opposite law that we want to follow. A child commonly will do the opposite of what a parent will ask of him . The "don't do" instructi on seems to trigger a desire to do. A child must be taught to share with others. not the reverse. The child. just as the sci en tist, will research. test and try to discover if that particular law is true . They want to know where the boundary lines arc, and that is good. As parents: we have the responsibility to teach about the boundary lines, set an example and be consistent. A parent who loves a child ev idences that in giving correction as needed. Although it is never too late to become a beuer parent, By The Associated Press "Today is Sunday. March 22, the 81st day of 1998.

This so-called "quality time " usually pops up at unplanned limes, and if we arc not there, we miss out on that opportunity. "Quality ltme" isn't taking the child shopping on Saturday. - When the family is at home, time together is crippled by interferences from television or the boom box. Even the evening meal is often eaten in front of the TV. Any impact ing comes from the screen rather than a parent or brothers and sisters. - Seeing things through our chil dren's eyes requires us to pay less attention to our own concerns and more to theirs. What kind of pressures arc they under'' Who have they been created to he? How should we · help them to live but their potential" - Will the role model we have lived hcfore them give them access to the help and guidance they will need as they become adults'' Have we lived the values before them rather than just telling them to do what is right'' Long after our words have been forgotten , our lives will go on. This is the future we are talking about, our children! Whai America is tomorrow will be because of how we have nurtured them, taught them, and loved them today. We can't g6 do anything about the weather, except prepare for it, but. with God's help, we can train our own children in the way they should go.

The agreements come if the state approve the engineer's cleanup plans and promise there will be no lawsuit< against landowners as long as no new environmental offenses occur. Ohio EPA staffers do not visit most project sites to test for possible contamination or challenge the accuracy of the engineer's documentation, The Plain Dealer said. Only one in four projects granted no-sui t agreements each year will eventually be checked by an independent state audit. · The U.S . EPA questions whether that is enough oversight. said Joe Dufficy, brownfields programs manager for the EPA in Chicago. The agency also believes the public should have a chance review and comment on proposed cleanup plans. The Ohio EPA says a privatized system will speed cleanups that would bog down if state.agents had to be invol~ed at every step. The Ohio and federal agencies "need to resolve this and get on with it," said Dan Rohr, managing director of public finance. at Bane One Capital Corp. in Columbus. "There has been a reluctance from lenders to get involved if there are legal issues hovering over the ·head of these projects." Todd Davis, a Cleveland environmental lawyer and developer of contaminated industrial "brown fields," said that without an agreement, "people still fear the theoretical threat of the federal government" taking enforcement action despite stale approval. Jenifer Kwasniewski. manager of Ohio's Voluntary Action Program for brownfields, said the risk is remote for most sites but acknowledged some projects could die because of uncertainty over federal .action. She predicted that the private sector eventually would adapt "I think it just adds to the financial risk they 're tal<.ing, and they'll balance i~" Kwasniewski said..

Tradition tells the home gardener that St. Patrick's Day is the day to plant seed potatoes, and some varieties of bedding plants are beginning to bloom in local greenhouses in preparation for the gardening season. Some varieties of flowering annuals and bedding plants can withstand a light frost and can be planted earlier for establishment during cool weather, according to Hal Kneen, extension agent for the Ohio State University Extension Service in Meigs County. Those interested in home Oower and vegetable gardening can begin planning their gardens - choosing plants and garden location.

Talking to reporters on Washing· ton, Clinton attorney RobertS . Bennett declared that Mrs. Jones' evidence of sexual harassment was " garbage " unworthy of a trial. The trial is set to begin May 27.

The three-judge panel of the U.S . Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia denied the request, 2-1. in a brief order Friday. Last month, Chrysler lost an unpreced~ nted , challenge of a gov ernment recall order when a federal judge told the automaker to recall 91 ,000 Cirrus and Stratus cars from the 1995 ll)Odel year because their rear seat belt systems are unsafe. U.S. District Judge Emmel G. Sullivan ordered the company to notify owners by the end of March that the 1995 model ca rs were beong recalled. Sullivan is still decodmg whether Chrysler should be assessed a c1vil fine of up to $1 .6 million fo r failong to recall the vehicles carli~r. "We're disappointed with the rul ing." said Lew Goldfarb. Chrysler's associate general counsel. "We'll abide by the decision and recall (the) v~hicles even though they were in compliance at the time of manufacture and are safe." Phil Recht. deputy administrator at the National Highway Traffic Safe· ty Administmtion. said the government was pleased thai the age ncy' s deci sion to order a recall had been reinforced by two courts.

Lawmakers, schools wait for verdict a year after.court ruling By PAUL SOUHRADA Associated Press Writer COLUMBUS (AP) - A year after the Ohio Supreme Court tossed out the state's method of paying for public education, Nathan DcRolph is still waiting for a sign that the schools won the lawsuit that bears his family name. . The high court sided with De Rolph and a coalition of most of the state's school districts on March 24, 1997, ruling that Ohio's school funding formula failed to guarantee an adequate education to all students and relied too heavily on local property taxes. That formula set up a system where some of Ohio 's 611 school districts have new buildings, stateof-the-an science labs and the finest sport~ programs. Others are plagued by rundown schools, outdated textbooks and obsolete computers - if they have computers at all. The court gave lawmakers a year to overhau l the system. Time's up Tuesday. " I expected some kind of change when I was sti ll in high school, " De Rolph. now a senior at Ohio State University, said in an interview. "Nothing's happened yet" Freshmen at Sheridan High · School in Thornville sti ll use the same biology text that DeRolph used in 1991 when DeRolph's family agreed to challenge the constitutionality of Ohio's school funding system. It was I0 years old then, he said. " I knew when we started the lawsuit, we weren 't going to have a spanking new high school with all new computers and textbooks," he said. It 's just that by this time, he .figured there would be something to show for the years of legal battles. Patience, counsel Republican legislative leaders. Senate President Richard Finan, R-Cincinnati, argues .that the court ton Lewis Jr., declined to offer a review until after the deadline. But the leader of the schools group is confident neither Lewis nor the Supreme Court, which ultimately will decide the issue - will find the plan acceptable. And he promises more legal battles, if necessary. " f don't think the Supreme Court is going to accept anyt)ling less than a complete, systematic qverhaul," said William Phillis, executive director of the Ohio Coalition for Equity & Adequacy of Schoof Funding.

The schools coalition opposes the extension request, accusing tl)e state of stalling. It also is actively fighting the sales tax campaign because not enough mo11ey would go to schools. "The sales tax increase is not going lo pass," Phillis said. " People are going to look· to their school leadership locally for advice on this issue." Already, some districts with local tax issues on the May ballot are asking voters to choose the local tax over the state issue if they are only going to vote for one, he noted. House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson, R-Reynoldsburg, disagrees. " I don't think it will be an easy campaign," Davidson acknowledged. " But there's no question that education is the No. I concern of voters., There is a chance voters won't have a chan<;e to decide the issue. The Ohio Roundtable, a conservative public policy group based in Solon, has sued to block the sales tax increase from re~ching the ballot The group argues that lawmakers improperly used a 147-year-old constitutional provision to get the issue to the ballot That lawsuit is pending before the Ohio Supreme Court. So what happens Tuesday? The schools coalition plans a seminar on school-funding issues in downtown Columbus to mark the anniversary of the decision. Both sides likely will continue to argue the merits of the state's plan. • But Senate Minority Leader Ben Espy doesn 't expect much action out of the court Tuesday - particularly if it grants the extension .. "They 'could impose their own solution," said Espy, D-Columbus. "That's what a federal court would do.

It might not be the epic that it was six years ago, when the Blue Devils edged the Wildcats on Christian laeuner's memorable turnaround jumper at the overtime buzzer. Still, the final of the NCAA South Regiona! at St. Petersburg, Fla., should be very tasty. Top-seeded Duke (32-3), which made seven trips to the Final Four in nine years under coach Mike Knyzewski before hitting a lull, got there when it beat Syracuse 80-67 friday ni'ght. Kentucky was even more impressive, romping past UCLA 94-68. "It's two different teams now. and a lot of time has gone by since then, but they have a lot of tradition and so do we." said Wildcat~ guard Jeff Sheppard, who scored 16 points: " It should be a fun game to play in." And to watch. The other regional final today will pit Stanford, seeded third in the Mid· west, against eight-seeded Rhode Island. The Cardinal (29-4) advanced by showing its depth and strength in a 67-59 victory over Purdue at St. Louis. The Rams {25-8) ended the surprising run of Valparaiso (23-10), wearing down the 13th seed 74-68. On Saturday. it wa~ top-ranked North Carolina vs. second-seeded Connecticut in the East final at Greensboro, N.C. In the West, defending champion Arizona. also a No. I seed. met third-seeded Utah at Anaheim, Calif. South Regional Duke's youth prevailed against Syracuse (26-9) as Elton Brand had 20 points and 14 rebounds, while fel low freshmen Shane Battier and William Avery had strong games. "This time of year, there's no freshmen and seniors," Brand said. "Anybody can step up." Brand, IO.for-14 from the field. le,~ a 19-3 run the Blue Devils put together after missing II of their first 13 shots in the second half. allowing the Orangemen to tie the score at 49 on Elvir Ovcina's putback with just over 12 minutes to go. But they didn't score again against Duke 's tough man-to-man defense for five minutes. "We don't consider those guys freshmen anymore," Duke senior Steve Wojciechowski said. "They have gone through 35 games with us, and they're just as e<perienced as some of the other guy~ now." Kentucky (32-4) had too much balance for UCLA. Sheppard's shooting and the inside muscle of Scott Padgett and Nazr Mohammed overpowered the deplet· ed Bruins from the stan in a matchup of college basketball's two most storied teams. UCLA (II) and Kentucky (6) hav~ combined for 17 NCAA titles, the most of any teams. But this cer· tainly wasn't a game for the ages as Padgett ~cored 19 points, Sheppard knocked down shots from the wings and Mohammed had 15 points, seven rebounds and ~ix blocks. They badly outplayed UCLA's senior trio . of J.R. Henderson. Toby Bailey and · Kris Johnson, the only remaining players from the Bruins 1995 title team. The outmanned Bruins were with· out freshman point guard Baron . Davis, who tore a knee ligament today. "I knew UCLA was depleted without having Baron Davis, but I thought our kids were focused and ready to play," Kentucky coach Tub· by Smith said. . Midwest Regional Stanford sent wave after wave of fresh players onto the floor, and Purdue couldn't match it. Eight players played more than II minutes as Stanford set a school record for victories. The Cardinal hasn 't advanced this far since the 1941 -42 team. which was 28·4, won the national championship. " It was like two heavyweight punch-drunk fighters, kind of sway· ing back and forth," Stanford coach Mike Montgomery said. Poor shooting sank Purdue, which shot only 29 percent in the second half. 31 percent overall. The Boilermakers (28-8) were 2-for-20 from 3point range in the second half. Rhode Island's Antonio Reynold~Dean scored 16 points and made three big defensive plays down the stretch. This is the longest the Rams have stayed in an NCAA tournament "We found a way against Kansa~. and we're going to find a way again~t Stanford." coach Jim Harrick said. "I hope they look at us and laugh ... Harrick, who coaches UCLA te>its title in '95, restructured his ·defense to deal with Bryce Drew. Valparaiso's long-distance bomber. Drew scored 18 points, but uncharacteristically struggled in crunch time. The smallest school in the 64-team tournament field. Valpo captured the nation's attention and heart by upsetting Mississippi and Florida State in the first two rounds. "He surprised me," Jim Harrick Jr.. an assistant coach for Valparaiso, said of his dad. "He ran a different defense than I've seen. I probably shou ld have seen it coming. He was better than I wa~."

H~ makes a .wide variety of ston~ implements, including arrowheads, spear pomts or kn1fe blades. .· .. --; Fl~ntknappers,. euP,~emist!cally known l!Y stfln~ as "neolithic technictans , are organt~d tnto fltotknappers groups !lnd occasionally .meet at rendezvous fealunng anywhere from 50 to 300 people, gathering to swap ~otes and techniques, or to purchase raw materials. ; Roush outlined some of the different types of stqne used by flintknappers including Belgian flint, which is hard to work, beer bottles and other t~ of glass, Texas chert, Dacite or volcanic glass, petrified wood whtch.makes beautiful points- and obsidian, "the sharpest stuff on earth". _The stone costs aboui $3 a pound, he added. : · The nearest flint source is at Flint Ridge near Zanesville, Roush said. . The flint made its way down the Muskingum River and on down the Ohio :River fo Meigs County, he said, adding that he found ancient anowheads in -l'rfcigs County made from the Flint Ridge material. · . . I~ addition, Roush gets colored glass from the ·Fenton Glass Factory in ·WIIh!llllstown, W.Va. . •: When working, the goal is to make the implements ·as wide and·thin as P.ossi~le, he · ' · · :&~plamed. He said he ij currently at a 9-to-1 ~Jtiion, with the blades . being about nine times wider than they · I{I'C thick. . - Making an anowliead or stone knife :ihvolves much more t~an simply bashing a piece of flint and hopiilg i~ will break the tight way. "It's all math anll angles," · he said. "If you've ever seen piece of slass shot by a. BB, &.iln• the BB. fmocks off a· from the inside of the glass, called a Hertzian cone which has sides that always form a 100-dcsrcc angle." Roush even uses his fingertips, pushing or pulling the stone to coax just the ~ght-sized flake to oome off in just the ·right spot, holding the . stone at just the right ·angle. "You have to dev.elop a feel for it ' PR1E'B.!~~ and fonn a strategy," IIIQ .,auer flllk.. Roulh Ia ahown he said. 'Its a war ,_,. ualtlfl a naklng tool to worlc the edge against the stone." of an'almtnt-completed apear point. Roush called it a "process of removing everything that cloesn't look like an anowhead". In .addition, R9ush makes all his own tools including some billets or strikers made of aluminum. Although decried by flintknapping purists, Roush points out that the ancient flintknappers would have used aluminum if it were available to.them. The flakes that come off the stone are razor sharp, and cuts are com~ ffiiOnf•laoe. Roush always ·keeps adhesive bandages close at hand -' Flintstones bandages, of course. Roush has taught several people the art of tlintknapping, saying he will exhibit his art oftentimes for as little as a meal. . "I love to demonstrate,: he said. ~I will work for fQod," he said, then jokingly added that he can cal quite a lot. . Has exhibited at schools including Letart Falls and in Spencer, W.Va. He also teaches knapping to individuals or, better yet, to sroups of four or five, ' It's one of the things I really enjoy doing,' he said. For more information on flintknapping classes call Roush at (740) 843-5310 or at (740) 8435147. .

KA is an online collection of notes, essays, and images from a wide variety of sources - all concerned with the topic of flintknapping - and a good place to begin a ·more advanced search into the art of tlintknappiog. For instance, KA describes flintkna~ping as" one of th~ methods· by wh1ch people· work stone into tools." It is also called naking or chipping, and involves striking or pushing carefully controlled flakes off the stone being worked. · This can be done in a var·ielv ways, including ~direct per•eUSSJOIPrJ: -simply hitti.!n.~g~th;ct'ffi~r~~~ -er·tbet (!lin~ n made of antler, material (soft hanline:rin!t). In contrast to direct percussion, there is "indirect percussion" which use of a punch between the being struck and the hammer doing the striking. The final common method removing Oakes is "pressure fldanJlr, which is usually done in the stages of tool manufacture by using a pressure flaker made of antler or copper. A popular misconception is the myth that stone tools were made by using fire and water. · This is completely false, and also terribly dangerous. Heating a rock and dropping· cold water on it creates unpredictable fractures and sends shards flying dangerously and violently. "Never, never, never try to flake stone using this method," Rast warns. "I once saw a lisi of materials needed to get starting in flintknapping which included a Bunsen burner, metal tongs, and a fire extinguisher."

C., some years back and the story is interesting. I wanted to pass it along to you since you probably were a Bridges fan . . In 1977, Mike was a pan of a group of teachers leading a three day field trip of inner city kids from Newport News, Va., to Washington. The group had just completed some evening activities near the Smithsonian Institute, when one of the students, out of breath, ran to Mike and announced. "Mr. Struble, Mr. Struble. Lloyd Bridges is shooting a mov-ie next door. Who is Lloyd Bridges?" Mike tried to explain Sea Hunt, Roots, some movies and television ·shows to the student but got only a blank stare in return. So, not wanting to miss a good educational opportunity. Mike and some students walked next doono the set which was·for a television movie. Mike comments that it was exciting to view all of the set up shots and to sec Bridges who was very much at ease with the students, asking questions, interacting with the kids, posing for pictures and signing autographs. . Bridges asked Mike about what the students had . seen ·in Washington and if they had been to the White House. It was P.xplained to him that unfortunately it had been impossible to arrange a White House visit. As it happened there was a Presidential aide op the set and Bridges immediately called her over and told her the problem. ~; umc s you. - Stop exchanging horror stories. - Put a ceiling on your desires . - Make peace with bickering.

The l ~st symptom is more common in children,.he says. Yet, in "As Good as It Gets ," Nicholson's character makes every attempt to bypass cracks in sidewalks and tile noors. Experts say such preoccupations may make it impossible for a person to have a job or carry on a social life , or both. Children who have OCD co uld have problems functioning in school. And while adults with OCD may be able to "stay in the closet" by engaging in rituals when no one else is looking, children have a harder time doing so without a parent or teacher noticin g. Took says. Often kids who come to Took because of poor academic performance are suspected of having Attention Delicit Hyperactivity Disorder. But in kids with OCD, the odd, rituali stic behaviors are to blame for their inab1i lty to focus on what 's important, he says.

To prepare a spri ngform pan for cooki ng in a water bath , surround the outside of it with a piece or alu'minum foil (so water doesn 't seep in through the bottom). Set th.e cheesecake pan in a pan that allows for at least .2 inches or water to surround it on all sides. Put the pans on the oven shelf, then add boiling water from a pot that has been heating on the stove or in the microwave.' Water should come halfway up the sides of the cake. Other experts have other explanations for cracking cheesecakes. They say overcooking is the main problem. and a water bath is useful only in that it prevents overcooking. You can eliminate overcooking by removing the cheesecake from the oven before it appears to be cooked all the way through. " I don't think iliere's anything in cooking as deceptive as the doneness of a cheesecake," Corriher it looks undercooked." Upon cooling and chilling, the cake will yie ld perfect re ults. Anoth' r·explanation for cracking cheesecake: The steam is released from the cake too quickly and thus the cheesecake should be allowed to sit in a wann oven after it's baked. Hence , some cooking direct ions require you to turn off the oven and prop the door open with a spoon handle to allow the steam to be released slowly. Overheating has been blamed for cracking too . · Proponents of this theory believe that whipping in too much air causes cracking later. You should beai the cream as little as possible to get the lumps out, and beat the eggs into the mixture only until blended. Overheating will change the texture from creamy to grainy.

Peterson, an interior designer and head of Motif Designs in New Rochelle, NY, didn 't want the new set to stick out like a sore thumb yet it was far too large to be inconspicuous. This IS a decorating concern more consumers are facing as TVs with outsize screens - those measuring from 40 to about 80 inches - gain popularity. More than 925,000 were shipped to dealers in 1997, compared to 465 ,000 in 1993. These days , 12 percent of American households own a front- or rearprojection TV - the types of set with screens 40 in ches or bigger according to the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association in Arlmgton , Va In 1984, the figure was one percent. Peterson solved her decorating problem with a custom-made corner cabinet. The open top houses the TV and a VCR. Cl osed storage bel ow holds tapes and video games. The cabtncl. built on-site by a carpenter for about $500, masks the bulk of the telev ision. takes advantage ot otherwise wasted space below to keep clul!er at bay, and provides a more finished look to the room , Peterson said . The corner location and elevating the set 42 inches above the floor make the screen visible in all parts of the room _ Peterson says she learned a lot about how to decorate a room around a very lar~e TV from her own experience. Treat the TV as the room 's focal point, she says "anything that large IS gomg to be a focal point in the room, anyway." If sofa and easy chairs arc arranged in an L-shaped fonnation , it's best to place the set on an angle tn the opposite corner for maximum Lyn Peterson's 55 · inch TV is displayed a_l' eye level for co~fortabl~ viewing. Big screen owners need to follow simple measures to make vtewtng - and decoratmg • easter. visibility from every seat. Try not to place a TV directly across from.a window since daylight will reflect onto the screen. Window coverings can help adjust light levels for daytime view· ing. Peterson prefers venetian blinds or slatted shuuers rather than opaque coverings like heavy curtains: these let the room be dimmed, without totally eliminating daylight and creating a tomblike atmosphere. ' Most of the reflections cast on the screen at night come from lamps and lighting fixtures. Dark lampshades will cut the glare and avoid such reflections, Peterson says. Light sources should preferably be located behind the viewer. A rule of thumb is that no light source should be brighter than the screen when the set ts on. Three-way bulbs or dimmers provide llexibility for lighting fixtures. l'he most important factor with large-screen TVs is to key the size of tlie set to the size of the room. "A rule of thumb is to allow a minimum dtstance of three times the scrc·en size for all TV s," said Ed Koren man , spokesman for the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers A"octation.

The Willys Jeep continued to be manufactured by Kaiser-Frazer until 1970 when American Motors bought them out. The Kais~r auto was made in Argentina and Brazil for several years past 1955 and was very popular there.· A division oflhe old Kaiser--Frazer Co. also was spun off into the real estate busi'ness. Among the holdings of thi s latter company was Madison Square Garden tn New York Ctty. The building at 141'5 Eastern Avenue goes back at least to the 1930s when Dutch Rutherford operated his garage there. From 1946 10 1951 the Queen Bros. Auto Co . was there.

Nonnally, the eustachian tub~ onens during swallowing, chewin$ or yawning.

No one is boycotting Mickey, or Minnie, or Donald, or Snow White, or any of the other great cartoon characters that have touched our lives. But the simple fact is that the Magic Kingdom has changed. Rathe r than continuing in the time-honored tradition of family entertainment, Walt Disney has grown into a huge entertainment-media empire that has chosen to use its incredible influence to prom ote immorality. No one is say ing that Disney doesn't continue to provide some redeeming entertainment products. However, when we support the good, we unknowingly subsidize the bad. Repealed attempts have been made with Disney to change their posilion and return to wholesome; fam ily enlertainment, but they have refused to respond .

Mystery Science Theater 3000 goes boldly into ninth season By JEFF BAENEN Associated Preaa Writer EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - After a close brush with the Black Hole of Lost Series a few years ago, " Mystery Science Theater 3000" is speeding into its ninth season at full warp drive. Fans of the cult TV show, which features silhouettes of puppets making fun of really bad movies, can resume their habit on the Sci-Fi Channel. Sci-Fi has ordered 13 new episodes, with an option for nine more. While Sci-Fi says ratings have improved since "MST3K" left Comedy Central two seasons ago, the show has never been a mega-hit. That's fine with Jim Mallon, the show's executive director. · " We know we ' re entertaining a lot of people," Mallon said, "and we don't have the pressure that being an enormous success brings, so we can kind of stay relaxed in what we do. We've got our little clubhouse down here." Here's the "MST3K" premise: office temp Mike Nelson (head writer Michael J. Nelson) is stranded in space with his homemade robots (Tom Servo and Crow) and forced to watch such execrable films as "The Thing That Couldn't Die." Nelson and his robot buddies subject the movies to a torrent of heckling. Viewers get to see the awful Hicks, with images of Nelson and the robots superimposed on the lower right corner, and laugh along with the wisecracks.

Bigwood delivers healing words after years of abuse By JEFF SPEVAK Roc:hellor Democrat and Chronicle The night was another sleepless one for Lisa Bigwood. You can tell by the weary look on her face as she sits down in the dim sum restaurant on South Avenue in Rochester, N.Y. She slumps back into her chair until the wall catches her. The coffee that she pumps into her system keeps her going on days like this as she makes her earlymorning rounds as an adult-care nurse, helping elderly people keep their daily lives in order. It's the living nightmare of her former life that does this to her. Six years ago, BigwOQ<I walked away - no, ran away- from a ISyear abusive marriage, finally finding the strength to jump in the car and peel out of the driveway in a cloud of dust as her husband scratched at the car window. She left behind a man who broke their furniture in a rage, threw her around the yard, threatened suicide and said he would kill her if she ran away with the kids. He was a man who tried to strangle her when he found out she spent $400 on a steelstring guitar, the one that eventually made it onto the cover of her two albums. Battered women is a subject not deserving of the wailing showmanship of "The Jerry Springer Show." It 's other people 's pain that you're watching from a distance; when you ' ve had enough, you just walk away from the television. But when you 're sitting across from a victim, with little more than a small table and a plate of spring rolls between you, and the subject is brought up once again, the pain in her face is so real that it shakes you up. You don 't get up and walk away. It's tougher for the people closest to her, such as fiancee Mike Roberts. He's a divinity student who's taking up family counseling. That 's all the sensitivity training a guy could need, yet.... "I wake up screaming," says Bigwood, "andhe 's theonewhohas to deal with it. " She doesn ' t have those nightmares as often anymore, but they're still one reason she doesn't sleep well some nights. Counseling was never given a serious chance to silence th< demons: "Frankly, I was too terri· tied, " she says. But perhaps in song· writing she had an outlet that mos· other people don't have. Her moment of epiphany was he first public performance, at an open microphone night. " Me and my girl· friend went and got drunk, and ther. she got up and said, 'This is Lisa, and she wants to sing,"' recalls Big· wood. She says the audience was just the two of them, plus Irish duo John and .Joe Dady and the bartender. · " The whole thing was just a white-out of terror," she says. "But my whole life now, everyone I know, is because of that one scene." On this day in the restaurant, Big- Usa Bigwood wood talks about folk festivals,. where the likes of folk legend Pete Seeger have been in the crowd; he has ev~n sung "Happy Birthday" to her. That 's the kind of circle Bigwood moves in now. She doesn't look like a victim . She's tall, with long, red hair that needs seve ral ponytail holders placed in strategic positions to keep its unruly spirit in place. She exudes an outdoorsy-ness, living on a farm in Naples with her horse, her 14-year-old son and her fiancee. · Yet Bigwood doesn 't look like the typical young singer-songwriter, chasing a record contract. At age 39, she's a · late bloomer in the music business. But once she got away from her ex-husband, with new surroundings, Bigwood blossomed. Her two albums are brilliant. She says she has written four songs in the last four days, about 152 songs over the last eight years. Influential people in the folkmusic business are behind .her, such as Rich Warrens, host of National Public Radio's folk forum, "Midnight Special." Both of her albums - the 1995 release "Like No One Else" and 1996 's "Woodland" were considered for Orammy nominations. As a musician, Bigwood's on a roll. The anger seems to have abated some. "My songs are still very real, but . they're not as pained, " she says. " People used to bitch at me, 'Why don't you write some happy stuff?"' She is surrounded by happier influences now. Such as her son and a 96-year-old patient named Marie. "I said to Marie nne dav_'You've been around so long, you must remember some amazing stuff,"' says Bigwood. "And she told . me this story how they used to keep !talian prison.ers of war in Rochester, N.Y. She told me ~bout how they used to visit them and slip them candy between the wires." So out of Marie's recollections, and a little young, romantic agony that her own son was experiencing, Bigwood created a song called "Under the Wire." But unlike the easygoing personality of many folk performers, most of Bigwood'~ words hit with the chilling impact of accusations. Her humor consists solely of wry observations. And, new songs or old, the primary influence in her life remains clear. Having written a rather sweet song about POWs and remem·brances of things past, she points out that one survival mechanism shared by prisoners and women in abusive relationships is a fantasy life.

Glickman said tests on 80.000 chicks had reduced the presence of sal monella to zero with only one· application. He said the department is now focusing research on whether it can prevent salmonella from getting into eggs. "This is a major milestone for food safety," Glickman told a National Press Club audience. J.le added that similar research is being done on cattle and hogs and that today's announcement "may prove just the tip of the iceberg in a new food safe- ty revolution." Ollicials expect the treatment to be avai lable beginning in May. Salmonella, one of the leading causes of foodbome illnesses and a particular problem in poultry. is carried primarily in an animal's digestive track and is transmitted through feces. It and other pathogens cause some 9.000 deaths froin food poi soning every year in the United States. By JENNIFER L. BYRNES GALLIPOLIS - Most cattle producers are aware of the threat of grass tetany in the spring of the year. However, a common misconception is that grass tetany is only a springtime problem. when actually it can catch even the most attentive off guard at odd times of the year. Understanding how grass tetany occurs. will help explain how it could occur anytime of the year. given the right conditions. The source or cause of the problelfl is insufficient magnesium intake. Cattle must maintain a certain level of magnesium in their blood. When magnesium is available for plant uptake, cattle will consume the magnesium through the forage . Ideally however•. cattle should receive magnesium from both forages and mineral supplement. Rarely caused by a single factor, development of gra.~s tetany in the. herd requires a combination of conditions. To begin with, young plants are lower in magnesium than older plants. giving new, lush, springtime growth the potential to contribute to the problem. This is complicated by wet soils. which further inhibit the uptake of sufficient magnesium, regardless of the soil magnesium level. Soils that are high in potassium and nitrogen will also limit the magnesium availability. These factors combined with stumble or lean backward .

Are you ready to begin mowing your grassy areas? You may find it necessary io start earlier than you want to due to the unusual weather patterns. Several homeowners have cut their lawns once or twice already. Each time you mow. try to cut off only one-third of the gra.1s blade leaving two-thirds behind to continue to grow. Most spring lawns need to have at least two and one half inches of height left after mowing. This will inhibit weed growth and induce healthier plant growth. If you cut the lawn and expose a lot of yellowish leaf.arca you need to mow more frequently. In the spring season you may need to mow more than once a week.

A Univ~rsity of Illinois researcher :sa} .; the answer with com is to striptill, a method in which strips of soil ~nly 7 inches wide are tilled. The remainder of the field is undisturbed, with the debris from the previous year's crop providing erosion protection. : ·Strip-til) combines the best of both worlds- the warmer and drier soil ~£. conventional tillage ana no-till 's environmental benefits. said Wayne Pedersen, a plant pathologist in the university's Department of Crop Sciences. In research last year. Pedersen found that strip-till slightly outperformed conventional tilling practices and greatly ill)proved on the yields and number of plants per acre in fields that were no-tilled. "We're ba,•ically finding strip-till is a hybrid combination. Within that. 7-inch strip it's a tilled field. Between the 7-inch strips it's no-tilled and you get all the benetits of water conservation and erosion control that you' d get with no-till." Pedersen said. In conventional tillage. farmers use a cultivator in the fall to plow under much of the plant material left over from the previous sea.,on 's crop. With the no-tillage practice. used for nearly 30 years, debris is left in the fields. a move that cut~ down on soil erosion. The alternative to these two practices- strip-tilling- has been practiced in lllinois since the early 1990s, Pedersen said. A specially designed piece of farm machinery tills thenarrow strip and creates a ridge 3 to 4 inches high. This is preferably done in the fall. although it also can he done in th~ spring.

Of the two types of flux available, use only rosin flux on wiring; acid flux corrodes copper. The best solder for most wiring is resin-core solder, a hollow wire of solder filled with resin tlux. This eliminates the need for a ·separate application of flux. Here are some tips: -- Before soldering. clean din and corrosion from the wires with finegrit sandpaper or emery clolh. Twist or crimp the wires together to create a strong mechanical connection. -- Since solder always tlqws toward a heat source, it will peneti'ate a joint more effectively if you touch the iron to one side of the joint and the solder to the other. --To join small parts more neatly with solid wire solder. first flatten it with a hammer and then cut the solder with tin snips into three or more fine strands. · -- Similarly. outdoors on a cold day. the solder will get cold and draw heat away from the iron. To remedy this, hammer the solder into a thin ribbon. It will melt almost instantly. -- If you have to solder two joints right next to each other, clamp a wet sponge over the first joint before soldering the second one. This will prevent heat from loosening the first joint. , -- To k'eep a spool of solder from rolling about. bend one rim of the spool. -- A clear plastic pill container makes an excellent dispenser for thin wire solder. Slip a coil of solder into the container, pierce a hole in the ~ap, feed the solder through the hole, · and snap the cap in place. Pull out the solder as yo~ need it. .. , :' : '~ -- -- - - - ------ J' -1---uJtATDI fl OI'J By READER'S DIGEST BOOKS For AP Special Featu!H Soldering is the technique of join· ing wires or other metallic surfaces with molten metal. It plays an impor· tant role in electrical repair work. especially in fastening wires 10 ter· minals and in situations where vibratioq might loosen other connector.;. To melt and apply solder, you need a soldering iron or a pistol-handled soldering gun, sold in electron· ic supply stores along with wider in a variety of thicknesses and compositions. To solder fine wires, use a 25to 50-wau .soldering pen. Higherwattage soldering irons and guns are more su(table .for heavier wiring. Some guris feature high and low heat settings and can be fitted with special 'tips for intricate work. The tip of any soldering tool must be kept tinned -coated with solder - so that the molten solder will aphere. To tin the tip. make sure the tool is unplugged and cool, then file , . scrape or sand the tip until bare metal shows through. Plug in the toollllld tum it to medium heat.llold solder to the tip until it melts and coats the tip. Wipe off excess solder with a damp sponge. To ensure proper performance. it's also imponant to keep the tip of your soldering tool clean and bright at all times. To improvise your own tip cleaner, stuff a pad of fine steel wool into a shallow tuna fish or cat-food can. Crimp opposing edges of the cat\ to form a rest for the tool and to hold the steel wool in place. Clean the hot tip by ~:Ubbing it against the steel wool.

In these cases. water enters the 'coil and leaves with its tempemture raised by 90 degrees to I00 degrees Fahrenheit. The system is designed with a specific water now rate through the coil. and if water flows through the coil at a·faster rate, less heat is translerred to it. Consequently, many boilers have a now-regulating valve that restricts water flow. Normally, when hot water is generated in a coil, the problem is not enough hot water for simultaneous demands. It shouldn't be a problem when the demand is sequential, such as. one shower after anoiher. Your problem may be caused by cold water nowing through the coil too rapidly to absorb ihe heat. It is also possible that lime deposits have built up in the coil. The deposits act as insulators lllld reduce heat transfer. Pomeroy, Middleport & Vicinity All Yord Sates Must Be Paid l.n Advance.

CHECK THE WANT ADS FIRST! 40 '· Homes: By POPULAR MECHANICS For AP Special Features Q: Our 10-year-old boiler wa.~ set up by the house's previous owner so that domestic hot water is preheated first in an electric water hea~r:., We've noticed that the water starts out very hot, then cools off rapidly until it is uncomfonable. Two people cannot take a shower one after the other. This seems to be an inefficient arrangement. Is there a way to. improve it? A: When the domestic hot water is generated through the heating system, the boiler operates in the summer and winter. The previous owner probably used the electric water heater by itself in the suminer to produce domestic hot watet. In the winter, he may have continued to use the water heater a.~ a preheater, but shut . the power off to it. Preheating the water in a storage tank so that the water approaches the ba1ement air· temperature is considered energy efficient. However, preheating the water electrically is not.

N.Y.- Here's the ultimate proof that beer is a struggling industry: Gussie Busch is taking a healthy pay cut. August Busch Ill, chairman of Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., had his annual bonus sliced in half last week when the company failed to meet its goals for growth last year. Production at Anheuser-Busch. which sells nearly half the beer bought in this country. grew by only 1.6 percent, and Busch learned his bonus was being trimmed by $691.000. The bad news for the rest of the industry: Of the six leading beer makers in the country. including Rochester's Genesee Corp .. only Anheuser-Busch and Coors had higher shipments in 1997, according to preliminary figures from industry newslelter Beer Marketer's Insights. The second-tier brewers like Genesee took the heaviest hits from a brutal price war instigated by No. 2 Miller Brewing Co. a year ago in an industry that has suffered from flat sales, the proliferation of microbrewers and the increased populari-' ty of imported beers. It all adds . up to a tremendous hangover. Genesee 's headache includes a sales decline of 100.000 barrels, or 5·.6 percent. from 1996levels, and the first back-to-back losing quarters since at least the early 1930s at the publicly traded but family-controlled company. And there's no relief in sight, not with ·the nation's sixth-largest brewer facing continued pressure from prke cuts and lower per-capita consumption. No wonder the company is looking to eventually be less of a beer company and more of a food purveyor. "Our strategy has been lo grow our non-brewing business both through internal growth and through acquisition opportunities," said Marl< Leunig, Genesee Corp. vice president. "If the strategy achieves its goal, our non-brewing business would become equal in size and contribution to our brewing business. That's our long-term target." · Genesee's Food Division makes private-label dry soup mixes, noodle side dishes, drink mixes and iced tea products. For the foiSt nine months of the fiscal year, the division accounted for $26.1 million- or 22 percent - of the company's $118 million in sales. Beer accounted for most of the rest. Short term, Genesee is looking to turn around its brewing business, which lost $5.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998, by centering on its craft label leader, J. W. Dundee's Honey Brown Lager. as it heads into the critical summer sea~on .

Genny's core products- Genesee Beer, Genesee Light and others ....:.. continue to slide. Third quarter production was 11.3 percent below the same period a year earlier. The brands are being squeezed in the price war between Anheuser-Busch and Miller.

Newspaper Pomeroy-Middleport, Ohio, Monday, March 23, 1998 spurred Nixon's resignation. Rahm Emanuel, a senior Clinton adviser, dismissed Lon's assertions as partisanship. "That statement looked like a political statement done for a political purpose," he said on CNN's "Late Edition." But House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said use of executive privilege was "destroying the public trust and the dignity of the office of the presidency, and could destroy it to the (point) that the American people could lose faith in their leaders and their govemment." The White House has not acknowledged publicly that Clinton formally has invoked executive privilege, although sources close to the investigation and speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed he had done so. Independent counsel Kenneth Starr, who is leading the Clinton investigation, would say only on Sunday: "There have been invocations of certain privileges and those are matters that will have to be resolved in the courts.

Hayman Starr, his assistants and a team of Clinton lawyers- including one hired to handle executive privilege matters- had met with a federal judge behind closed doors for four hours Friday. Along with executive privilege, women's attitudes on the allegations of sexual improprieties against Cinton dominated the Sunday talk shows. Anita Hill, the law professor who brought the issue of sexual harassment to national attention in 1991 with her allegations against Clarence Thomas, said on NBC that Clinton's policies in favor of women's rights are a factor for women asking, "Is he our best bet, notwithstanding some behavior that we might dislike?" Asked if this was a double standard, she replied: "It is a reality that we have to deal with. We live in a political world and the reality is there are larger issues other than just individual behavior." But on CBS' "Face the Nation," Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, 5aid of Democratic feminists' reluctance to censure Clinton, "I doubt that they would have done this kinll1 of ·soul-searching if ... it was a Republican president." Meigs' February jobless rate up The state unemployment rate was 4.1 percent in February, nearly unchanged from the 4.0 percent Regional February jobless rates recorded the month befot:e. Locally, jobless rates fluctuated moderately for most counties in southeastern Ohio. The OBES report reflected a 0.3 percent increase in Meigs County, where the jobless rate went from 13 percent to 13.3 percent during the reporting period. In Gallia County, according to an Ohio Bureau of Employment Services report issued Friday, unemployVInton ment increased 0.2 percent between January and February- from 10.3 percent to 10.5 percent. Oth~r regional unemployment rates for February (January rates in parenthesis) were: Athens: 6 (6.3) percent; Jackson: 9.9 (10) percent; Lawrence: 6.9 (7 .5) percent; Scioto: 12 (12.4) percent; Vmton: 15.5 (16.1) percent; and, Washington: 7.1 (7) percent. "The February labor market in Ohio is running stronger than normal for this time of year," Debra Bowland, administntor of the OBES, said Friday. "Even with a slight increase in tJte unemeloyment file conipa~;tanilar)'; we-m impressed with how well this econoffiy has resisted the normal pattern of job losses during the winter months." Hiring was strong in retail and in the construction industry, probably in part because of unseasonably warm weather. "Witb the normal upswing in seasonal jobs that can be expected to begin soon, we anticipate the very tight labor supply for employers to continue or even increase," Bowland said: · The nation's unemployment rate was 4.6 perceni for February, compared with 4. 7 percent the month before. The number of Ohioans with jobs in February was about 5.6 million, up 2,000 from January. The number · of workers unemployed was 240,000, up from 235,000. The February jobless rate was down from the 5.0 percent recorded the same month last year. Over the year, the number of Ohioans working increased by 173,000 from 5.4 million. The number unemployed dropped by 46,000 from 286,000. In Ohio's counties, last month's rates ranged from a low of 2.5 percent in Delaware County to a high of counties. 17.8 percent in Morgan County. · Eight counties had jobless rates at or below 3.4 perOverall, rates dropped in more than half of the 88 cent.

Hwas esUmated that "Pop" had sung the song some 15,000 times. Lewis Family, area quartet cheer audience at weekend fund-raiser By SCOTT WOLFE Sentinel Correspondent Saturday evening around midnight in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium in Racine, in the still of the night, only a small beam of moonlight illuminated a single petal from a red rose. It had been only a couple hours earlier when a crowd of well over 500 people gave 92-year-old "Pop" Lewis a long standing ovation after ()is ren·dition of "lust One Rose Will Do." "Pop" Lewis. the patriarch of The Lewis Family, helped pull the curtain on a very successful evening of Bluegrass, and Bluegrass Gospel music in an event sponsored by the Racine- Fall Festival committee. Members of the committee were well pleased with the great tumout, dubbing the event as "one of the biggest events in some time" for the Southern tip of Meigs County. The performances by the Ripleybased Builder's Quartet and The Lewis Family, 'The First Family of Gospel Bluegrass," were just as pleasing to the crowd. As is customary at all Lewis Family performances, a red rose was presented to "Pop" at the introduction of the song. This rose was presented by Hilton Wolfe Jr., on behalf of the Wolfe family and the community. Locat auctioneer Dan Smith emceed the event. then the Builder's Quartet set the stage for -an inspirationa! hour of bluegrass music at its best. Although the first show is supposed to be the more serious of the two, "Little Roy" Lewis won the hearts of the qowd by playing five different instruments during "Dixie Breakdown." He also cracked off a few one-liners. and several tall tales, some specializing on some of the local organizers in attendance. Whether it was the whimsical rhetoric, the great musicianship, or the focus of the gospel; everyone left with some of the energy generated by the performers. Kathryn Hart, an event organizer, indicated ' that the fiqal tally was not official," but that it appeared well over 500 filled the gym. Some members felt the figure may have been higher. The next event the Fall Festival coriDnittee will be gearing up for will be the local fall festival, which will feature Jim and Jesse and the Virginia Boys, formerly regulars on the Grand Ole Opry. ., J. • ... ,_, ·,, ...~·•.·::.f!i•'·.

Seventy-two percent of respondents to the telephone poll opposed preferences in employment for blacks, 18 percent said they favored such prac!ices and 10 percent did not know. And 72 percent said they opposed preferences in admission to colleges and universities for blacks.
