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 .

"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.

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.

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.

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•'·.

In the quarter-century since, an anay of federal programs have been implemented to effect improvements in point-source pollution. the kind . that originates at industrial facilities, utilities and mines, for example. Now, attention is being focused on nonpoint, diffuse sources, and especially on agriculture, with the initial focus being on livestock facilities. While the Environmental Protection Agency says it' plans to significantly tighten regulation of the largest livestock and poultry operations. it the tot.al U.S. market, according to David Edgar, director of the Institute for Brewing Studies in Boulder, Colo.

Both parties spend this loot unabashedly to run televisoon ads on various "issues" -·such as all the ossucs that a panocular candidate runnong for Congress in a particular d1smct supports. This all works out just fine for our elected officials, most of whom wouldn't dare JCOpardlze their job security by passing any meaningful campaign-finance reform legisla· loon. And why should they? Under the current system, most incumbents not only win, but win big. Unlike "March Madness," where game after game goes down to the wire, less than half of Senate races and a mere quarter of House races in the '96 election were decided by a margin of less than I 0 percent. Most oncumbents coast home m laughers, which IS appropriate for our laughably unfair campaogn finance system. . UNDER THE DOME·· Adevout Mormon Democrat and a freshma.i Repubhcan from Maone have teamed up to seek a middle groun{l in the always contentious abonion debate. Sens. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Olympoa Snowe, R-Maone, have proposed a plan that would force health insurers to include prcscriJ> toon contraceptives in their plans if they otherwise cover prescription drugs Reid believes that by making contraceptives more available, they could cut down on the esttmated 3.6 million unmtended pregnancies each year.·· half of which end in abortions. The plan 1s apparently too sensible for the Senate, which loves nothing more than to flog the abortion debate for polttical gaon. Even though the bill has 36 co-sponsors. Reid and Snowe have been unable to get a hearing scheduled; so they plan to take theor fight directly to the noor in the months ahead.

Conme Karschmk, R.N., execultve dtrector of the . Meigs County Tuberculosis and Health Clinic, credtls the county's suppon of a tax levy for success of the program, whtch allows a paid full-time staff to work m a program of detectmg and treatmg tuberculosts. She reponed that m 1997, agency pt:rsonnel held 48 skin test chmcs and made 436 contacts in hospual and extended care facilities, handled 4,067 office contacts, administered 3,659 sk10 tests, made 610 home and outside visits. along wuh 155 school vtsits and contacts. Skm tesung clmtcs have been held around the coun ty, and Karschmk satd that commumttes have responded well to the agency's extra effons to provtde services in their home areas. , In 1997, Roy L. Donnerberg, • M.D., chest chnician from Columbus, conducted four chest clmtcs for the Metgs County TuberculoSIS and Health Cltmc. A total of 347 chest xrays were obtained and mterpreted. resultmg in 45 conferences and clmtc vtstts. Donnerberg made recommendations after evaluation of each chest x-ray. Tuberculosts " a dtsease that ts spread from person to person through the air. explained Karschnik. She said that in Ohio there is an estimated 140,000 to 210,000 Ohio residents infected with the tuberculosis bactena. Wtlh the potential to develop an acttve dtsease 10 the future . About 10 percent of these infected indivtduals wi ll develop tuberculosis at some po10t 10 their hves, she explained. By Sept 30, 1997, there were 222 cases of tuberculoSIS reported to the Ohto Department of Health.

To most envtronmentalists, the population-growth problem has nothing to do wtth immtgration. Their goal is to slow the birth rate throughout the world to prevent peopie from devouring the eanh's natur-al resources, fouling the air wtth pollution and trampling oul the habitat of birds and animals.

"Our beneficiaries need to know that the home health agencies who do business with Medicare are sound and reliable," Shalala said. "And taxpayers need to know that their dollars are being used effectively to deliver needed care." The reforms appear to be aimed as much at fraud as they are at control· ling growth in the industry. Since 1989, the number of Medicare home health agencies has nearly doubled and per-beneficiary average annual spending nearly tnpled to $3,987.

The board's resolution in opposition to State Issue 2 contends the sales tax increase does not address the Ohio Supreme Court's ruling a year ago today that Ohio's system of public education is neither thorough nor efficient. . " ... The state's response to the decision is totally incomplete and inadequate ... and Ohio's public school children will continue to be subjected to sub-par facilities, curricula, technology and classroom supplies," the resolution reads.

(AP) By JIM FREEMAN Sentlnel News Staff Meigs County Commisstoners lashed out at county home supporters Monday afternoon, accusing members of an ad hoc county home committee of upsetting the home's residents and sabotagmg efforts to find them new places to live. Accustomed to taking shots from the group, Commissioners Janet Howard and Fred Hoffman engaged in a heated discussion wtth commtttee members Bob Smiddie, Dale Colburn, Jean Grueser and Guy Hysell over the future of the Meigs County Home. Commissioner Jeff Thornton did not attend the meeting. Commission President Howard accused the committee of agitating the nine residents of the county home while sabotaging efforts to find · them new places to live. She was firm in defending the board's decision to close the home as a permanent dwelling effective March 31, but also added that it is highly unlikely the county will be able to close the doors on the facihty on that date. Commissioners also refused to grant an executive session requested by Smiddie to discuss complaints the commtttee has wtth interim county home matron Mildred Jacobs, who was appointed following the resignation of matron Sharon Johnson a few weeks ago. Smiddie Said Jacobs is not allowing workers at the county home to shave the residents or to wash the residcnts' hair, that she verbally confronted one resident, who as a result urinated in his pants. Howard defended Jacobs' policies, noting that one condition of residency at the county home is to be able to take care of personal hygiene. If they cannot shave or shampoo their hair, they need to be at a dtfferent facility. she explained On the other incident, Howard said the resident in question has a problem with frequently wetting hts pants Grueser was cntical of the board hiring Jacobs due to her age Jacobs is a senior citizen - and also accused the board of putting a person in charge who agrees the county home should be closed. To suppon her argument, Grueser cited a letter Jacobs earlier wrote to The Daily Sentinel. On other complaints at the county home, Howard said the residents have rules now designed for their safety. "The safety of the residents IS our number one concern," Howard said. adding that before Jacobs took pver, one particular resident was allowed to wander about Pomeroy, posmg a threat to himself by occ;c;ionally wnlking in the roadways. "There have not been a lot of rules set forth in the past." How~rd said. She then proceeded to accuse the committee of hindering the pl~cement of the residents •n permanent factltttes or housmg. "If we were allowed to close the home in a timely manner we wouldn't have these people tortured by a commtUee that JS there to help them." she said.
