Governor Nancy Hollister - herself a candi· date' for Strickland's Sixth District Congressional seat - accused Strick· land of "dropping the ball" on the project. Strickland secured the funding in the $217 billion transpoJ'Iation bill that the House Transportation Com·. mittee approved late Tuesday after- noon. The funding levels are now subject to approval by the whole House and the Senate. "The construction of the Raven~wood Connector is crucial to exp_anding job opportunities for working families in Meigs County," Strickland said. "I fought hard up in Washington to make sure that the connector gets its fair share. "T~y. I'm thrilled to announce the culmination of months of hard work - $5 million for design work and construction of the Ravenswood Connector," he added. The project will construct an improved two-lane highway on State Route 124. Aloog with projects to upgrade and improve U.S. 33, this project will help provide a link between 33 in Ohio and Interstate 77 in Ravenswood. W.Va. "I will continue to fight for this project as it moves through the House and Senate," said Strickland. Strickland said the $5 million will augment the $1.3 million he pre· viously secured for the project. Meigs County Chamber of Commerce President Sue Maison, who is also chairwoman of the Meigs County Democratic Party, said, "The Jtavenswood Connector is key to economic develop~ent. in Meigs County.

Willey's words proving fa-r less believable than Clinton's By DeWAYNE WICKHAM Gannett News Service WASHINGTON - Kathleen Willey's 15 monutes of fame bough! her only 24 hours of cred obolily. Just a day afler her appearance on "60 Monutcs," the creslfallen Virgonoa socialite's televosed version of what transpired belwecn her and Presodenl Clonton dunng a Jl!ov. 29, 1993, Oval Office meeting was gencraling a strong odor of mcndacoly. In her onterview with CBS' Ed Bradley, Wolley gave a delailed account of her encounter woth Clin-ton that day. Shcwa5$Ureo[hcrself, cerlaon of even the minutiae of thai 4-year-old meetong. The presidcnl gave her "a big hug" as she was leavong, Willey saod. There was nolhing unusual about thai, she recalled . She and Clonton were friends and he embraced her every time they met. It was what followed nexl, Wtlley saod, thai caught her off guard. She said the presidenl "kissed me on', on my moulh.'~ He also 1ouched her breast and pul her hand on ~is genitals, Willey lold Bradley. She said she was slarlled and angered by Clonlon's sexually aggressove behavior. So what did she do? Willey said she a~ked Clinton "aren',l you afraid lhal somebody's gonna walk in here?" hardly words of rejeclion. But 10 many television viewers it all sounded very credible. Afler all, Wille~ was a low-l?Vel Denoocraloc part; activoSI and fonancoal conlribulor who Wickham . had worked on Clinton's two prcsodenloal cam paogns She was a fnend of the presodent, not one of hos detraclors. But of there os one thing I've learned m life, 11 is that everyone who befriends you is not your friend . In a sworn deposotlon she g~ve in the Paula Jones case earloer thos year, Wolley told a dramatically dofferent story when asked of the presodent kissed her dunng that day. "There was an attempt," she answered weakly. -.. "Please describe it as fully as you can ," one of Jones ' lawyers said. "He attempted to koss me, " Wol ley responded. . "Dod you allow hom lo koss you?" "I don 't lhmk so." Bul Jones' lawyer wasn' t satlsfied . His cloent is suing Clinton for sexual harassmenl and he's looking for evidence of a pauern of behavoor by the prcsodenl that supporiS her claim. So he pressed Wollcy for a clear-cut answer. "Was he successful on kossing you?" the lawyer pressed her. . "I can't remember," Wtlky saod "II could be Ihal he was successful?" lhe lawyer suggcstcu "II could be that he .vasn't, " Wolley responded . "I don't rcmcmbcr... That's what she saod. She didn 't remember. · So how docs Wollcy go from say ong under oath that she doesn 't remember if Chnton kissed her, 10 months later bcong so sure that he did? What reason would she have 10 lie? Kathleen Wollcy os a desperate women . The former Whote House vohm· tecr was desperate four years ago when she mel wnh Clonton. on the hope of landir\g a payong job.

Wolley's lawyer lold Voner hos client needed an advance large enough lo repay the debl she inherited from her husband, accordong to The Washongton Post. ' "Siic needed a lofeboal and I thonk that was il." Voner saod of the book deal that never materialized. Willey 's lawyer told Viner her book would tell the story 'of her Oval Office mccung wllh Clonlon, the events surroundong her husband's suoc ode and offc:r up her vocws on Washonglon ·, polotocallofc What he dodn't offer Voncr were topocs of the none lcucrs Willey wrote Clonton after the alleged kissong and gropong oncidcnt - lcuer$ on which she praised the prcsodcnt: " How fortunate for us all lhat you wolllcad us onto the 21st century, " she told Clonton on a Nov. 1:\, 1996. mossove.

"Really ?" Penn State center Calvin Booth said when told of the ladies' win. "I didn'1 hear that. I guess we have to win now." In the first game, Kevi n Clark scored a career-high 30 points and Sam Jacobson added 24 to lead Minnesota ( 19-15), which played in the real Final Four last year. For Fresno Stare. a season of scandal, which included arrests, suspensions and substance abuse problems for some of its star players. will end with a consolation matchup with the tourney's other Bulldogs from Georgia. Mike Wallace, the correspondent for CBS' "60 Minutes," who recently did a piece exposing all of the Bull' dogs' off-court transgress ions, sat near midcourr for the first game. After the story was aired. Fresno State coach Jerry Tarkanian criticized Wallace for no! being up front with him about irs content. But at halftime. Wallace, a guest ofTarkanlan's, said he and the coach spoke before the game and had "a very civilized con- second in 12 attempts - Jacobson scored underneath to put Minnesota up by three with 2: 10 remaining. Herren's bucket cut it to 85-84, and the Bulldogs got a chance to take the lead when Quincy Lewis mi ssed, but Fresno·turned the ball over. Lewis made two free throws with 48 seconds left, and the Gophers closed it out at the free throw line after Herren lost control of the ball while making a baseline move. Clark, who scored 21 points against Fresno State earlier this season, went 9-for-16 from the field and 9-for-9 from the line. In the second semi, Pete Lisicky scored 13 points for Penn State, making a pair of late 3-pointers to 'stop Georgia rallies. Freshman Jumaine Jones led the Bulldogs with 23 points and 15 rebounds, and Michael Chadwick had 12 points. Trailing 46-36, the Bulldogs picked up their defensive pressure and went on a 13-4 run to close to 5049. But Lisicky bailed out Penn State with a 3-pointer with five minutes left. · "His entire four years here , he's been a guy who does things like that," Penn State coach Jerry Dunn said. "There are players who want to take shots during the game. He wants to rake a shot if the game is on the line." versation." "This loss really hurts because of all the adversity we went through," said Tarkanian, whose club won its previous three tournament games by a total of eight points. Jcrmaine Fowlkes led Fresno Stale (21-12) with 25 points and Chris Herren had 14 - all in the second half. "With all the trails and tribulations this year, it felt lake a long year," Fowlkes said. "We tried 10 round it off by at least going to the championships, but we can't hold our heads down. Just being in tile postseason is great for us. Coach Tark has endured a long season with us, and we've all stuck through this." The second meeting between Fresno State and Minnesota was much tighter that the firsr, a 92-72 win by the Gophers in December. The clubs went at each other hard from the outset. and went to overtime tied at 77 . Herren's free throw with 2:52 left in OT gave the Bulldogs an 82-81 lead before Jacobsen was fouled and made two ro put the Gophers back up. After Fowlkes missed- only·his the timeout and'execu.ted it well." Del Negro drove around a pick by Duncan, freeing him from defender Derek Anderson , and buried the'fallaway jumper to snap Cleveland's four-game winning streak. "I pur my arms up hut didn't want to foul him," Anderson said. "It was just one of those things." Del Negro said Anderson nearly ruined the well-timed play. "He played great defens.' and I felt him when I went up for the shot." Del Negro said. "I leaned back just a bit. That's a shot I like to take. a fade on the left side." Spurs point guard Avery Johnson, who had a game-high 12 assists, triggered the play with a pass to Del Negro. "We have about seven di fferent options on that play." John son said. "Vinny was probably number flve. It 's a good play and worked well." David Robinson led the Spurs with 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocked shots. D~ncan had 18 points and I 0 rebounds. Robinson scored 13 points in the final quarter. " I got in a better rhythm in the second half and started driving to the basket," Robinson said. "That got me to the foul line a few times and that helped." Robinson made 13 of' 16 shots from the line as San Antonio held a 23-13 free throw advantage.· Zydrunas llgauskas led Cleveland with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Cleveland took its first lead, 6563. early in the fourth quarter. Danny Ferry, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, hit three consecutive 3-pointers midway through the quarter to help Cleveland open its largest lead, 78-72.

Many lawmakers, taking lheir cues from President Clinton. favor using the projected budget surplus to keep Social Security solvent when baby boomers start retiring in I 4 years. Others; mostly Republicans. say the solution also lies in allowing workers to place some of their Social Security tl\l(es in personal retirement accounts, which can earn a greater rate of return by investing in stocks and bonds. That would be the first step toward privatizing Social Security - a path advocated by conservatives. But many Democrats, reflecting views of senior citizen groups and labor unions, argue for simply strengthening the current tax-funded system, which provides a minimum retirement guarantee.

Scholars. meanwhile, are questioning the legal underpinnings of the attempt. "The first lady is not the czarina," said Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University and a frequent litigator on constitutional matters. "It is difficult to see how the first lady can assert executive privilege when she is not an executive of this government. .. Mark Rozell, a political science professor at American University who has written a book on executive privilege. called the White House effort "a bold claim and quite possi· bly a real stretch of the doctrine of executive privilese." "I am quite dubious about extending executive privilege to anyone in the Monica Lewinsky case. including the first lady - maybe especially the first lady." he said. President Clinton himself refused 10 discuss the issue when asked about it during his Africa trip. But sources familiar with the Lewinsky investigation back home said the administrntion was trying to claim the privilege to prevent testimony related to discussions with the first lady. The White House has been skittish about discussing the issue publicly for fear it would look like Clinton has something to hide. But the adminis-. tration 's willingness to claim the privilege for Mrs. Clinton's conversations signaled its belief that the American people aren't paying much attention to the legal wrangling.

They Security refonn would be impossible unless there is a change of heart among the "gOodly number of vet11 groups which prevent changes, howsoever necessary." To avoid finger-pointing and encourage debate, Moynihan did not name the groups. But he was clearly referring to AARP and the AFL-CIO. which have opposed his_calls for re<_lucing the Social Security payroll tax and for a I percent redu~tion in the annual cost of living adjustment (COLA) to retirees . , Both are key provisions of his bill to save Social Security.

Workers could use the tax savings to e~tablish personal savings·accounts. The tax cut is partly offset by the correction in the COLA.

Some of those charges - that he claimed to have deadly anthrax and produced infectious disease, bacteria or germs at his home in Lancaster, about 30 miles south of Columbuslater were dismissed by federal Magistrate Mark Abel for lack of evidence. But Abel found there was enough evidence to hold a hearing on other accusations of probation violation, and Harris was relea-;ed to face probation violation charges in Ohio. During a U.S. District Coun hearing .in Columbus Tuesday, Harris admmed he violated probation by lytng about an association with the CIA and fail ing to tell authorities that he switched hotel rooms while he was m Las Vegas. Judge Joseph Kinneary imposed the new probation, which will require Harm to report to a probation officer more often. Harris also was ordered to serve 50 hours of community service. He could have been sentenced to up to five years in jai l for violating probation. "I am sony for any inconvenience I caused the coun." Harris told Kinneary. Later, as he left court. Harris said only that he felt "fantastic" but wouldn't comment funher. "Larry ha~ done nothing wrong. He committed no crimes." his ~ttor­ .ney Cun Griffith said after the hearing. Griffith then warned Harris: "Don't let the word 'CIA' come out of your mouth." .Rarris smiled in response. 49 101 EVANS c UIIIIED VALLEY BELL BROUGHTON'S Skim Miik Cottage Cheese 8 9 2401. , j_ --~ \o ls \(lffj) J>Qtato Chips Velvet Ice Cream HElliER'S 34 ASST.
