It was perfect for me to ride off tnto the sunsei like the cowboys always did in the movies of yesteryear. My trusty steed, of course, wasn't a h orse-it ' ~ been years since I owned one and it was really a bit early in the day to do the sunset bit since the sun wa's prcll y high in the sky. I had to usc my car. However, do all ow me the privilege of bei ng a hit dramatic. The ride into the sunset was the fin ale of over nine years of employment at Veterans Memorial Hospital in Pomeroy.

I went to work at Veterans Mcmonal Hospit al and at the time thought I probabl y would hang on there six or seven 'months. Well , that was over mnc years ago. My employment at the hospital has been a deli ght. I cnme into contact with many wonderful , caring people and hopefull y, made a few new friend s al ong the way. I was always shown a great deal of considerati on and under-· standing. Small wonder that I stayed so long. The riding into the sunset bit. of course, is my way of letting you know that I did wrap up my work at the hospital Thursday · afternoon. My exit was practically unannounced and quiet. In fact, I doubt if even many of the employees knew-that I was going to "ride into the sunset". However, a couple of coworkers who did know I was leaving and aware that I don 't "colton" too wclt t o simply sitting down and Jelling the world go by, did ask me what I will be doing next I replied that at this point I They don't really know. expressed confidence that I certainly will get invol ved in some thing , somewhere.

Investigation brings protest from Central State's leader WILBERFORCE (AP) - State and federal investigations are interfering with the operation of Central State University, the school's president said. John W. Garland told the board of trustees on Friday that school administrators are spending about 1-112 days per week responding to the demands of auditors and investigators, primarily from the U.S. Depanment of Education but also from various state agencies. "It's harmful to us," he said. "It hampers our ~fforts to manage the university." Garland also suggested it was time to end the scrutiny. Last year, the LeJ!islature app(Opriated S7 .6 million to Central State when it was on !hi: verge of firtancial collapse. The state Office of Budget and Management took over the school's finances in 1997. The federal Depanment of Education wants the financial aid files of SOO students from the 1996-97 school year for an investigation it is condueling. In addition. the department's Office of Inspector General has subpoenaed documents dealing with federal funding used to help support historically black colleges and universities.

Indeed, the province wa' once the cradle of ancient Serbin. And in the most celebrated baule in Serbian his· . tory, it was there; in 13&\1. that their grand hero Prince Lazar lell in a batlie against the Ouoman Turks. the last effort to hold back the invading army. A huge monument to Lazar and the Serbians who fell in that baule drew a pilgrimage of I, million Serbs in 1989, on the 600th anniversary of the battle. It was called the Banlc of Kosovo Polje. the Field of Black· birds. The losses were so great on both sides- including the leader of the Turk army -that it is said birds picked at the corpses for months. The feelings that "Remember the Alamo" once stirred in America give a mild hint of what Serbs feel about Kosovo. In fact, it was in Kosovo Polje that the whole civil war that broke up Yugosiavia began: on a spring night in 1987 - with Milosevic himself the chief antagonist Then a young. relatively unknown Communist politician from Belgrade. Milose vic was conducting a meeting to hear minority Serb gripes about the Albanian majority. When many Serbs from the out· side tried to cram into the packed meeting hall.

Milo\evic pu1 an end to it with the cry: " Nobody will ever beat you again'" That simple sentence. an incautious stoking of Serbian nationalism against the "repressive" Albanians. was the horse Milosevic rode to populiSt power. What riles Serbs the most is that. even though they finally won Kosovo back from the decaying Onoman Empire in the last century. the Albanian Muslims have conquered it by sheer dint of population. The ethnic Dear Editor: I recent ly read a letter to the editor about the bond issue for the Southern Local School District that posed many interesting questions that deserve a fair answer. · The first point is that this is a bond issue that can only be used to build or repair the school buildings. It is not a levy that could be used for salaries. The Southern Local Building Committee is actively seeking community input on the issue. If someone hasn' t asked your opinion yet. please call us at 949-2611 and talk to us. The question of transportation costs 'has been raised, and it's a good one. You must understand that all of our bus routes run once and pick up elementary and high school students at the same time . Otherwise we would double the mileage on the buses. It will actually save time and gas to bring' all of the students to one centralized location instead of two or three locations. We agree that as the cost of gas rises the cost of busing will go up. It is in our best interesno keep the trips as short as possible by centralizing the runs. Finally, it has been suggested that we should plan replacements for each .<ehool building in each community. '(he proposed centralized building will have 75,000 square feel of space. more or less. If we were to build individual builqings they would have the same classroom space, but need to duplicate cafeterias. offices. gyms. etc .• in each of them. The required space would grow to 86,000 square feet. All that extra building will cost more money. a lot more money. The state is now giving us almost half the money needed ·for the central school and they won't give us anything for the smaller buildings. Right now. we are asking you for $4.042.000 for a centralized school. fo change this to individual buildings means we would need to ask you to approve $9,200,000. In my book, that's not making the best use of our tax dollars. : I think the best way to provide for all the students in the district, is 10 pass !he $4,042,000 bond issue so we can get the additional $3,652,800 from the State. That way we can teach all of our children from kindergarten through eighth grade in a new. safe. clean and modem school building. · Paul Beegle Letart Falls .

By JACK ANDERSON · and JAN MOI:LER WASHINGTON - A long-held fear of international diplomats and European leaders has been that World War Ill would begin in a place that few Americans have ever heard of: Kosovo. What is Kosovo? It is a province of the former Yugoslavia whose. 2 million ethnic Albanians outnumber the 200.000 Serbs living there. But the Seros run the government and the PJ>Iice force in a repressive manner that includes many human rights violations. Over the last month, it has been bubbling with ethnic Albanian dissent. and the Serbs have chosen to kill more than 80 of them - including women and children- in an effort to put down nascent rebellion. Properly outraged. U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was in Bonn last week trying to get Russia to agree to an arms embargo until Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic engages in autonomy talk s with ethnic Albanian leaders in Kosovo.

GOP stands to benefit by passing t.o bacco bill ranee Group and Wes Anderson of Fabrizio-McLaughlin. thatthe public strongly supports'action to halt teenage smoking and that incumbent Members could find their opponents turning Congress· failure to act into a culling issue in November. Similarly, Democratic · pollster Mark Mellman said, "I could easilv see a candidate saying '3.000 kid~ a day are getting hooked and Congressman X didn't care. He had two years to do something. but he was on vacation.· This also fits in nicely with the 'do-nothing Congress' theme." It doesn't really take polling to warn the GOP that there's danger ahead if Congress fails to pass a bill. President Clinton on March 12 told the National Association of State Allorneys General, "I think we should say clearly and simply that Congress should not go home until it .passe~ comprehensive tobacco legislation." Moreover, House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt. 0-Mo .. already has accused the GOP of being " frozen ... because they have gouen huge amounts of money from tobacco companies. They don ' t want to offend them ." 'A pollster advising Senate Democral• said that "tobacco money is t~e most tainted political mon, ey there is." A New York Times analysis showed earlier this month that Gephardt actually was the secondbiggest single recipient of tobacco money in the House from 1991 to 1997, after Rep. Tom Bliley. R-Va. But Gephardt has stopped taking tobacco money. and in recent years GOP candidates and commiuees have collected more than four times what Democrats have received. In 1995 and 1996. according to the Times. Republicahs got $8.8 million from tobacco companies and PACs, while Democrats got $2. 1 million. According to the Center for Responsive Politics. tobacco giant Philip Morris gave Republican comminees $980.000 in 1997. but gave just $60,000 to Democrats. According to one of his advisers, House Speaker Newt Gingrich. RGa .• " is determined not to let the par· ty get tagged a' the tool of Big Tobacco. but I'm not sure Republicans understand yet how to do that. .. Even though polls •how that vot· ers favor Food and Drug Administration regulat1on of tobacco hy a two-to-one margin. some Republi · cans still oppose that idea for ideo· logical reasons. Polls also show two-to-one approval of increased tobacco taxe,. but many Republicans arc reluctant to impose them becau se they would produce huge revenues that President Clinton wants to spend on social programs aod medical research . Lately. though . it's occurred to GOP leaders that they can find other uses for the pol of money- cutting other taxes or "saving Medicare ... as Senate Budget Chairman Pete Domenici. R-N.M., has proposed. Many Republicans also favor heallh research . Another complication is that Republicans want to avoid the charge that they've served Big Tobacco by granting companies protection . against legal liability. a key aspect of the global seUiemenl with the slates that tobacco companies are insisting upon . And Republicans would like to limit the profits made by trial lawyers. a Democratic money soun:e. Besides these barriers, various Senate commiuees are having diffi· . culty processing tobacco legislation, the House has barely begun working on speci lic legislation. antismoking hard-liners are insisting on no liability protection for tobacco companies. and. while talks are under way with the White House, there is no agree· men! because the GOP has no firm position. And the clock is ticking, with only around 50 workdays left this year.

By The Associated Prell Doris Rogers was looking forward to warm weather in Ohio so she could stan running outdoors again instead of at her heallh club. Well, the temperatures rose last week, but Ms. Rogers stayed indoors !Jecause her allergies kicked in early. ''I'm stocking up on antihistamines." said Ms. Rogers, a 27-yearold teacher who lives in Toledo. "I feel awful already and it's only March." Her suffering is only beginning. Expert~ expect this year's mild. wet winter to produce one of the worst allergy seasons in a long time. The mild temperatures stimulated trees to bud early and release pollens that normally don't work their way into people's noses for another month · or so. "Everybody's complaining." said Pat Schermerhorn, a nurse with Or. Lois Nelson, a Toledo allergist . "Everybody's sick and their allergies are kicking in." Calls at her office have increased 20 percent over their normal level for this time of the year. The first unseasonable pleas for help came in January. "We don't expect to see people until the end of April and early May,'' Mrs. Schermerhorn said. The rain hasn ·r helped. either. The dampness provides perfect conditions for mold, another common culprit for allergy sufferers. · The pollen count has not been that high in the Cleveland area, said Dr. William Wagner, head of the Adull Allergy section of the Cleveland Clinic. "We probably will see an early start to the tree pollen season in this pan of the country. but I don'tthink the mild winter will cause that much of an increase in the pollen problem here . "The severity of symptoms depends a great deal on the severity of the pollen count on a particular day." he said. Tree pollen season can stan as early as March, but more often it is April. he said. Grass and ragweed season starts around May and June. The American Lung Association estimates 20 percent of Americans suffer from allergies. Symptoms include watery, itching eyes, a runny nose and a stuffy head. For some. those problems may last until the end of September because the warmth and wet mean more grass and more weeds throughout 1998. "People will have a more severe season, more so than last year," said Dr. Mark Hermanoff of Allergy and Asthma Coosultants in the Toledo suburb of Sylvania, So what's an allergy sufferer to do ' " Keep the windows closed and keep the heater and air conditioner running:· Hermanoff said.

The Serbs have the guns, but the Albanians have the numbers and the will. Soon. however. that duesn' 1prove enough and they begin to lose. About this lime.

By MORTON KONDRACKE Congressional Republicans face what ought to be an easy choice: Pass comprehensive tobacco legislation this year and reap the credit. or get Clobbered by Democrats if they fail to do so. In stark campaign term s. the choice for Members of Congress is between mounting their own ads saying, " Last year we balanced the budget. this year we saved kids from cigareues. so vote for us"- or having opponents morph the faces of incumbents into Joe Camel. The choice is becoming increasingly clear to GOP leaders. which improves chances that a bill can pass this year. However, a lot of serious thinking and lighting has to occur before that happens. and there's not much time left this year in which to do it. On the positive side of the choice. one Republican official said. "This could be the eq•Jivalenl of last year's bipartisan budget deal. a move that lets both .parties show value. " It 'd help the President show he's doing the country 's work and not dead in the water with scandal. It'd help Congress defend itself against the do nothing' charge. And if there's a tobacco tax. they 'd have billions of dollars to divvy up." On the negative side. according to a GOP <ource, House leaders last week heard from two of the party 's best pollsters.

Cleveland schools to be free of court control in two years By JOHN AFFLECK Associated Press Writer CLEVELAND - The state and Cleveland schools have tried their best to provide equal opportunities for students of all races and will be freed from court-ordered programs aimed at ending segregation, a federal judge ruled. · U.S. District Chief Judge George White on Friday issued an 88-page decision that creates a framework for ending a racial-discrimination lawsuit that started 25 years ago. "The segregative practices found in this district over 20 years ago undoubtedly had a substantial impact that may never be completely remedied," White wrote. Nonetheless, the judge continued~ "the purposes of ihis desegregation litigation have been fully achieved." White said disparities that remain between black and white students in the di strict are the product of socioeconomic factors and not segregation . About 49.000 of the district's approximately 70,000 students are black. The ruling did not immediately · pass control of the state's largest district to the Cleveland mayor, as the Legislature mandated last year. White said he will soon schedule a hearing to work out the transition. Until then, the state remains in control of the district, as it has since 1995. John GoFf. state superintendent of public instruction, said in a brief statement that he was pleased with the ruling. The state 's lead attorney agreed. "It's a victory for the students and the people of Cleveland." lawyer Margaret Anne Cannon said. The ca~e dates back to 1973, when attorney James Hardiman filed a class-action suit on ·behalf· of black students and their parents, charging that the di strict ran segregated schools. A federa l judge ruled _in favor of the black students three years later. The tederal coun adopted a desegregation plan that set it~elf up as the district's chief authority. Since then , all decisions made for the district have been subject to the approval of a federal judge. Forced busing. a controversial piece of the plan, was ended in 1996. "We take the position that Cleve- land children still have trouble reading. writing and passing the proficiency test. and that's going to take some more time and, unfortunately, some more money," Hardiman said Friday. He was consi dering an appeal. Richard McCain. a representative of black parents. was more upbeat. " I think the system has made some great steps forward. and I think that it is up to all of us to see that things keep moving forward," he said. In 1995, U.S. District Judge Robert Krupansky ordered that dayto-day operations of the debt-ridden and mismanaged schools be turned over Jo the state. Last year, the two sides argued in court over whether the district had met a list of criteria both sides agreed on in 1994 as benchmarks for ending the case. Under the 1994 agreement, the litigation was to end in 2000. That will remain as the timeline for ending the ca~e under White's ruling. Cannon said the state will contribute about $93 million to courtordored programs such as ~agnet. schools and improved middle schools between now and 2000. White's decision said Cleveland schools have been forced to comply with two or three times as many orders as any other district working under a desegregation ruling. The students might have been better off with a streamlined ruling that focused more on education, he speculated. The judge also called on parents and other adults .to become more involved in the education of children.

Governor Nancy Hollister, who is a Republican candidate for Strickland's seat in the May primary, testified that expediting projects now in the planning stages will give the state a fi~ancial il?<>st. . . Throughout her testimony, she outhned detatls of a comprehenstve htghway funding plan that she released in February, which would combine state and federal dollars to help in completing five high-priority projects. "By moving forward with projects that will soon be ready for construction; southeastern Ohio will receive the maximum benefit from each transportation dollar spent in the region," Hollister said. Her proposal would use an anticipated increase in federa~ funds for Appalachian highway construction to leverage state transportation dollars, according to a news release issued by h.er office on Friday. WHEJ;UNG, W.Va. (AP)- A man who .says he is the best friend of convicted Mountameer Militia leader Aoyd "Ray" Looker says the government is sending an innocent man to prison. "Oh God alm'ighty it was the bigges1 fiasco from start to finish. ~ker's trial was a travesty," said John "Bob"· Woofter, owner of a 400,acre farm in Lewis County where the militia trained. Looker was sentenced Friday to 18 years in federal prison for his conviction in an alleged plot to blow up an FBI fingerprint complex. Before his sentence was read in U.S. District Court, Looker gave a 30-minute speech in which he denied that the militia he led was· plotting to blow up the FBI 's Criminal Justice Information Services division in Clarksburg. " 1 am not anti-government. 1 am 'for responsible government," Looker said. "I am not a radical, not an activist, not a militant." He said the Mountaineer Militia was an " inefficient and dysfunctional organization incapable of carrying out such an operation."

GOP·rebels condemn highway bill as pork-filled 'abomination' Gannett News Service . WASHINGTON _ Led by the House Budget Committee chairman dissident Rep~blican congressme~ Friday decried a six-year, $217.7 billion highway bill as a pork-laden "abomination," "a hog," and "highway robbery." The 11 members who acknowledge they have no chance of defeating the bill when it comes up for a vote as soon as Wednesday plan to challenge their own party's . leadership over the $8.8 billion in so-called "high priority projects" inse.rted by members, as well as the . bill 's overall spending. At stake the dissidents said at a press confe~ence, is the Republican commitment to shrinking government spending and changing the cuiture of Washington. " This bill really is a hog; this bill is an abomination," said Rep. John Kasich R-Ohio, chairman of the House' Budget committee. "If we get comfortable in slipping back into the culture of this town, we're in deep trouble." Rep.

"This is the f~rst day of a long string of wonderful days for Meigs County," Reed commented. Straffbrd said the clinic has been thanked numerous times for its donation, but added, "The use of the building will be our thanks." He called the donation of the building a "perfect win-win combination" for all involved parties. Shoemaker, recalling Ohio University's success with its Chillicothe branch campus, said "this is an occasion that is probably more monumental in this county's history than many people understand·." Hollister briefly remarked that dreams can come true in Meigs County and called it a day to 'welcome' the UniverSity of Rio Grande, while Hoffman, like Dorsey, singled out McDade for special recognition. Afterwards, Dorsey introduced members of his staff including Provost Greg Sojka, Dean Paul Lloyd and new Meigs Center coordinator Gina Pellegrin<rPines. , Afterwards, the dignitaries cut a ribbon to ceremoniously open the new center.

(AP) Tennessee's quest for its own special"place in women's basketball histpry is now down to one game. Returning to the dominating style that has been its trademark, Tennessee rolled past Southeastern Conference rival Arkansas 86-58 Friday night to gain yet another berth in the NCAA championship game. The Lady Vols (38-0) had been given a scare by North Carolina in the regional finals earlier in the week and had to ralfy from a 12point deficit to win 76-70. No such heroi cs were needed against an Arkansas team that had made a remarkable run through the NCAA tournament as a No. 9 seed, the lowest ever to reach the Final Four. The 28-po.int margin was the biggest in a national semifinal game. Arkansas (22-11) did keep it close for a halt But Tennessee then pounced on the Lady Razorbacks with one of those game-turning bursts for which the Lady Vols have become so famous - and so feared. . This time it was a 13-1 run in the opening 2:51 of the second half and national player of the year Chamique Holdsclaw, as might be expected, was right in the middle of it. Holdsclaw finished with 23 points on 8-for- 16 shooting after missing six of her first eight shots. .But she certain)¥ didn't do it alone. ·Semeka Randall scored 22, Tamika :Catchings had 13 and Kellie Jolly .had II. · Tennessee already has won more :games than any NCAA women 's .team and will seek a record third straight national title -and its sixth ·overall - against Louisiana Tech tonight.

(AP)Look· who's .back in the national championship ganie. Louisiana Tech returne'd to the Final Four with a flo'urish Friday night, running past North Carolitia State for an 84-65 national semifinal victory and it s si< th trip to the NCAA title game. Playing in its ninth Final Four but its first in four years, Tech will meet heavily favored Tennessee or Arkansas for the title tonight. The Lady Techsters, who won national titles in 1982 and 1988, lost 75-61 at Tennessee to start the season. Flying downcourt for easy baskets all game long , Louisiana Tech took control of the game with a 14-0 first-half run and put it away with a 12-0 surge early in .the second half. Amanda Wilson scored 14 of her 20 points in those two bursts to go with II rebounds as the Lady Techsters (3 1-3) spoiled the Final Four debut of Kay Yow, North Carolina State's longtime ~oach . Yow has won 522 games in her 23 seasons. but she never had been as far as the regional finals hefore this year. The Wolfpack (25-7), who finished the season ranked No. 10, upset No. 2 Old Dominion and No. 3 Connecticut to reach . the national setnirinals. but their size was no . . match for the quickness or No . 4 Tech.

The lead would have been greater had Tennessee not missed so many point-blallk shots. The Lady Vols shot only 39.5 percent in the opening half and had to make six of their last I0 shots to reach that figure. But as been the case so often this season, whe~ Tennessee struggles on offense, its defen se holds firm: Arkansas shot just 30.5 percent ( 18for-59) and finished wjth· 28 turnovers. Ostrowski scored against Cheyney in 1984, the tournament's third year. But Tech took away the rest or North Carolina State's powerful inside game and raced 10 an 18-0 advantage in fast break points to return to the national championship game for the first time since a 60-59 Joss to North Carolina in 1994. That was the year Charlotte Smith stunned the Lady Techsters with a three-poi nter at the buzzer off an inbounds play with seventh-tenths of a second remaining. • LaQuan Stallworth had 18 points and nine assists for the Lady Techsters, and Monica Ma.well had 14 points and 12 rebounds. :Tech trailed 10-6 when Melvin made two free th.rows six minutes into the game.

Anyone who looks at the Red s see s an impr·essive nucl eus surrounded by a bargain-basement cast of players who will decide whether the sea,son becomes a total nop or the beginning of a franchise's turnaround.

Renovation of the schoo l building was considered. Then the idea was discarded because of the cost as well as the locati on which was ip the flood plain. later that sam€ year the Meigs County Commissioners announced plans for a new multipurpose building to be constructed on county -owned land on Mulberry Heights in Pomeroy. The lower fl oor would house the Senior Citizens Center. . Ground was broken on Aug. 17, 1978, and the Center moved into its new quarters on May 21 , 1980. Once in the new facility, se rvices to sen iors -- many geared to keeping them in their own homes and out of nursing homes --expanded. More home health services were offered, more wellness and ·support groups were formed, more meals went out to residents who we re homebound, and the vans extended their routes onto more country roads to handle transportation needs ·of the elderly.

Well, March Madness is almost over and April Fool's Day isn't far away, but according to an old sage saying: The fogs in Febtuary . Bring us frost in May There are plants that 'like cold weather but as a general rule, it is a "comfy," warm bed that makes the roots spread. Plants set out weeks earli. er into a cold soil get stunted and become "slow developers". The best thing for an impatient gardener is to study the seed catalogs carefully - become familiar with the plants one grows and never forget the age old truth that the safe date to observe for serious gardening is the tenth of May (5-10). Yeah, . I know that - it's old news - you may say.

This important North American herb first discovered . in 1705 and was grown in the famous Chelsea Physic Garden in England as early as 1737. This was a garden for Cllltivating medicinal herbs and was founded in 1673, and had itS period of great influence under the direction of Philip Miller (1691 -1771) at that time. Early in the19th century a group of physicians in Cincinnati researched : the properties of Black Cohosh and Lydia Pinkham, on their recommenda- . .tion added it to her most popular vegetable compound, she introduced in : · 1876 to treat "female weakness" (menstrual cramps). . The phannacist at Holzer Family Pharmacy, Paul Stackhouse, tells rt;~e : that Lydia Pinkham's Products are still advertised in catalogs- only I'm told . that it is minus alcohol and black cohosh. ' You may find "black cohosh" sold under the name of "Cimicifuga", : which is its Latin name. Intriguing possibilities are ahead as it is found to · reduce sugar level in blood. Many experts say that this herb has many poten-.; tially beneficial effects. In 1986, the Food and Drug Administration reported "black cohosh" to be of no therapeutic value and warned of its possible side effects. Meanwhile several studies show that its early users - the Indians - rna~ • have been right all along about the herb's potential to treat gynecologicaf problems. The German, after researches done, have included the herb to several prescription drugs to relieve me 0opausal discomfort.

Gierhart · Writer's Note: This story is : · · about one o£ the 79 Meigs county : · : residents who have registered for : : : spring quarter classes at Rio Grande Community College/ Uni· versity of Rio Grande's Meigs County Center in Middleport. Classes begin Monday, March 30. RIO GRANDE--When the University of Rio Grande and Rio Community College Grande announced registration opportunities in February at the proposed offcampus center in Middleport, 68 year-old Bob Gilmore was one of the first to sign up for classes He has been thinking about college attendance most of his life , but something always intervened to keep him from fulfilling a lifelong dream . Born in Columbus in 1929, Gilmore remembers the Depression years well. "My folks were from Meigs and Gallia counties, but I was born in Columbus because Dad had a job there," Gilmore recalled recently in an interview. The family stayed where thrre was work, but Gilmore didn't feel comfortable in Columbus schools. "I just did no·. fit. .. r was a hillbilly boy from Jown in the country and was made to feel it. I lost interest and dropped out (lith grade)." The U.S. Army recruited Gilmore in 1948. Like many of his friends, he enlisted for a three-year stint,_ but he rnoved up the ranks to . a tech . sergeant. Stationed in Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky, Gilmore managed a 21-rnan division headquarters office responsible for all the . training classes for the 101 sl Airborne Division. His enli stment was cxtended for one more year due to the Korean War. After returning from Panama, he · was encouraged to take the GED test. "They didn't have a program that would teach you or train you . . . but you could take a test," he said. "I passed it 1 They gave me a little ceremony at the post. I filed it away and kepi it (GED ceniftcatc)." Life moved very quickly after he left the servi ce in 1952. Married with children on the way, Gilmore hauled coal in Meigs county to suppon his young family. "I remember the kids corning alone and we lived on the lower end of town·. We had a big garden and I drove a coal truck from one of those strip mines way out in the country where they pull you with a bulldozer and get you loaded and then pull you out with a dozer and get you on your way." To relieve the boredom. he de vel oped a network of truckers over the shortwave radio. Gilmore's handle (name) was "Lazy Day." 1l1erc was no time to think about college in the early '50s, but he . enrolled in a correspo ndence course Jennifer Hager and Nathaniel lusher Jennifer Blue and Thomas Coleman ·;-, --BLUE-COLEMAN- --HAGER-LUSHER- Cindy lewis and Brad Knotts --LEWIS-KNOTIS-student at Meigs High School.

At a time when he couldn't control hi s body and mind the way he had been used to, humor "fasc inated and distracted me from the considerable physical pain I was in and the mental anguish of losing control of your life ." In a culture where many comedians rely on sex or bigotry to get easy laughs. religious humor such as the jokes found in Streiker's encyclopedia make the ir points by gently exploring the foible s of religious fo lk . for example, Streiker tells the story of a Congregationalist minister turnin g down a woman 's request for a funeral sen ice for her cat, Samantha. until he found out the woman was wtlling to donate $10,000 to the church where the funeral was performed . "Well." the rnimster said. "why . didn 't you tell me Samantha was a Congregationalist '" the first placc 0 " And how man y Episcopa lian s docs it take to change a light bulb 0 "Ten .

Many of the parables, he says. can be compared to Laurel and Hardy routines where the big, at'rogant guys arc set up for falls . Take the whole idea of Jesus in structing people who would criticize others to take the beam out of their own eye hefore they worry ahout the. speck in their ncighbpr 's eye. " I sc~ Jesus as having a twinkle in hi s eye," Streikcr says. " Jesus, in hi s way, was pretty funny. " Several religious speakers usc humor to get their points across. and congregations are comfonable with religious comics. Stre iker. 59, finds that when he uses humor to perk up a sermon, " I have thi s rare experience as a mini ster of being applauded." The publication of the humor book represents a personal triumph for Strcikcr, w)lo began work on 11 during a period of suffering in his life.

"I had no business even attempting to do it. 1 was working two jobs and the jobs 1 had in those days were laborious." He finally dropped out of the course , hut continued to develop an interest in calligraphy. By 1954, Gilmore and his wife, Jean , had four children . A new chapter opened in hi s life when he got a job with a chain of Columbus-based Moore's Stores. "I was taught to keep a close eye on all the factors that affect the bottom line in the stores in which I served as a manager-trainee." After three years, he was promoted to store manager in the Mt. Vernon store. A larger store chain . Western Auto. noticed Gilmore 's ingenuity and managerial talent. By then , he had been recognized by the cornpany with special award s. In 1960. Gilmore moved to a store man ager's job with Western Auto and then to manager of the largest Western Auto Supply in Columbus at Graccland Shopping Center. The busine ss administration skills that he learned during the se years cemented a foundation on which he would later build his own business in Middleport . "I did learn to operate a bu sine ss," Gilmore said of hi s respon sibilities in budgeting a tight ship. Inventory control was his special talent. Additionally , he hired and trained personnel while balancing the cost of advertising to se ll all the merchandise he had in the stockroom . Collecting bills owed to a growing auto supply store also carne under Gilmore's responsibilities. Gilmore looks back on the knowledge he gained from hrs busi ness experience by sayi ng, "If you don't make money, you're not going to make a profit." Through these hi ghly productive adult years, Gilmore never abandoned his desire to attend college. In 1984, the middle-aged businessman retired and returned to his horne of Middleport. His finely honed-skills in business went into over-drive in the 1980's and the desire to write linally found fertile soil in which to ..

Bob and Jean Gilmore saw a need in Middleport for an awards shop. II started in the guest room of their home with a modest investment of $1 ,000. in trophy components and a pantograph engraver. Soon local traffic through their home became so steady that th<y moved 'the shop to their fourcar garage.

Reduced-fat cheeses can 't be substituted because they won't hold up to the high oven temperatures. Cream - not milk or half-and-h'alf - is necessary to give the sauce proper . consistency. "We' ve tried making baked pasta with all tomato sauce," says Johannc Kilecn, who owns AI Forno restaurant in Providence. R.I.. and helped introduce baked pasta in the United States. "B ut the sauce turns out gummy without the cream." Butter can be reduced or omitted. but little else. At AI Forno, baked pasta is usually baked and served m s mall gratin dishes as appetizers.

Relative to schools Mrs. Harding stated on the campaign trail: "Our hill- country teachers are not getting a square deal by any means. Many of \hem have money due them from two years back. Many teachers have been compelled to borrow money from the banks to live. This is due to the failure of the state to help counties with the state-aid school funds. In Ohio Township, Gallia County, for instance, the schools have been dismissed for two months and the children idle.

Republican office holders were aided by Hoover's landslide victory for president over AI Smith. In the most lopsided presidential race in Gallia hi story Hoover won 5457 to 1896. Mrs. Harding was demolished by her opponent Ellis Hamrick by a vote of 4372 to 2861. She won only two precincts out of . 30, Ohio Township and the village of Cheshire. Mrs. Harding carried her hometown by one vote. Most people would have concluded that Mrs. Harding's political career was ended. But' 2 years is a long time in politics and between 1928 and 1930 came the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression. In spite of the grave economic climate, Gall i<~ns returned all the Republicans to county offices (except auditor) in 1930 and voted for all Republicans in state wide races except for State Repre sentative.

Co11rler-Poat While many students crank up Puff Daddy or Smash Mouth on their Walk· mans, Matt Broad, 15, prefers to spin the Beatles ' "Revolver" album on a turntable. The Marlton. N.J .. teen is part of a new wave of Beatlemaniacs who like to listen to "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart 's Club Band" more than Pearl Jam. After 34 years, young peop le think the "Fab Four " are still, well, fab. It's cool to be into the Beatles. ~)-!any teen-agers adore th e band whose break-up occurred 10 years (or more) before they were born. The group's long-standing appeal according to both teen-agers and rock music aficionados- is their innovative and catchy music. · "The Beatles wrote songs that withstand the test of time. Their music is timeless," says Denny Somach of Havertown, Pa., an expert on the British band as well as an author and rock music historian. " When people look back on the music of the 20th century, four names will stand out: Caruso, Presley, Sinatra and the Beaties. Their music defines a century." Mae Kramer, 16, a sophomore and Broad's classmate, has a simpler explanation. " Artists today have one or two good songs on a record. But every song on a Beatles album is a good one," she says. Kramer first remembers hea ring the Beatles during long car trips with her parents. About two years ago, she dug up her parents' old Beatles records and newer compact discs. She was hooked. · Last summer, Kramer bought every Beatles T-shirt at an area rock boutique. She has the complete Beatles music library on compact disc, except for "Magical Mystery Tour," which she has on vinyL Beatles posters decorate her bedroom walls. She says her favorite Beatie - John Lennon - was "cool," but she also liked Ringo because he was "funny." Kramer thinks it would be fun to check out their native Liverpool, the city with rock landmarks such as "Strawberry Fields" and Penny Lane. "You don't hear bands today with such a diversity of sounds," Kramer says. " They have so much talent. I appreciate the composition of their music. " Another claSsmate, Julia Rubin, 16, has loved the Beatles for many years. Rubin, who can play "Hey Jude " on the piano, was named after the song " Julia," a Lennon ballad about his mother on " The Beatles" (now commonly known as "The White Album"). " My parents exposed me to them at a young age," Rubin says. But not as young as infants' whose Beatle-fan par· ents play "Baby Road" for them, an album of Beatles "lullabies" marketed to baby boomer moms and dads. Katy Reimer, a 14-year-old, from Marlton is a fan of Paul McCartney and enjoys playing Beatles songs on the piano. Her parents introduced her to the band. Her dad, Rob, is a music teacher. Some of Reimer 's friends listen to the Beatles, t~o, But ~thers who hke heavy metal mus1c sometimes tease her. Re1mer · · l'k · likes different styles of muSIC, I e JaU and some hard rock. The Beatles, though, are among ·her favorites. " I really like their music and style. Like in John Lennon's song ' IJT)agine,' the message is in the music." Music expert Somach says young children and teen-agers like the Beatles for simple reasons: The songs have great lyrics, they're easy to sing and the melodies are great. He recalls as a kid watching the Beat· ll:s ' February 1964 appearance on " The Ed Sullivan Show." . . . " They showed every k1d m Amenca that anyone could be in a band, too." During the next eight years, the Beatles produced 13 original albums. Most were written by Lennon and McCartney. Their songs have been covered by hundeeds of artists, including Pe~rl Jam (" I Golla Feeling"), Ike and Tma Turner ("Come Together" ) and Frank Smatra ("Something"). . " I enjoy listening to 'other art1sts c~vering the Beatles mustc and compan~g them, too/' says Kramer. " But I sun think the originals are better. . . " I used to like the group Oas1s, unttl they started saying they were better than the Beatles." .

In addition to having his favorite Beatles song on it, " Revolution No.9," he says the record is innovalive and ahead of its time. Cahill-Sellers has an eerie Beatles connection. He was born at the same New York City hospital where John Lennon died. Lennon is his favorite Beatie because " he was the only one who had a worthwhile solo career." Cahill-Sellers also listens to rarely heard, alternative bands such as The Swans, The Birthday Party and Skinny Puppy. Even though the Beatles are not making m\JSic anymore, Cahill-Sellers doesn 't mjnd. "I'm glad they ended when they did. They left while the party was still happening."

By READER'S DIGEST BOOKS For AP Special Feature• Fiberglass, a material made from threads or fragments of spun glass, comes in different fonns. As a building material, fiberglass is molded into hard panels, such as the corrugated ones used for patio roofs. For shaped' objects, such as a bathtub enclosure, fiberglass is matted or woven into a fabric which is then bonded with resin. Preformed fiberglass panels are easy to work with and can be cut with a saber saw fiued With a fine-tooth blade. For an outdoor project such as a patio roof, heavyweight corrugated or ridged panels are besl. For indoor use or where rigidity is not necessary. use lighter Oat' panels. To clean the panels, hose them with water. If they discolor. apply a refinisher recommended by the manufacturer. Fiberglass panels will not bear a person's weight: never attempt to walk on them. Fiberglass laminate is used to make shaped objects such as automobile bodies. boats. swimming pools, bathtub enclosures, and hot tubs. Layers of fiberglass fabric are bonded together with a liquid resin that cures with the addition of a catalyst, fonning a tough, durable shell. Most fiberglass repairs can be done by any handy homeowner and you can find the materials you need at plastics stores, marine suppliers or home centers. Holes up to one-half-inch in diameter in fibergla~s laminate can simply be filled with puttY - a mixture of resin and filler. Larger areas of damage are repaired by patching with layers of fabric and resin. If you suspect the damage may have affected the structural integrity of an object, consult a professional before attempting the repair. Polyester resin, which is used for most laminate repairs, is easier io worlr. with and less expensive than epoxy. One.type, air-dry or tack-free, contains wax which tloats to the surface of the repair, sealing off the air aild allowing th~ resin to cure with a hard surface. The other type. airinhibited, cures to a tacky surface unless covered with wax paper or polyvinyl alcohol spray (PVA) available in marine supply stores. PVA washes off with w11r111 water after the resin cures. Fabric will bond better if you use air-inhibited resin for the inner layers 'of a repair. Air-dry resin used for the outer layers will harden so that the surface can more easily be sanded. Epoxy resin cures hard, but slowly. It is more difficult to work with than polyester. If in doubt whetherto use epoxy or polyester for a repair, try, a small test patch on an inconspicuous spot. The outer finish coat of fiberglass laminate is gel coat, a specially formulated polyester resin. Wash the gel coat frequently with detergent and SOWETO, South Africa (AP)At a landmark in the bloody uprising against apartheid, President Clinton on Saturday honored South Africans "who answered the call of conscience" and defeated the system of white supremacy. Clinton, standing on the world 's poorest continent, also promised to battle for more U.S. aid for Africa. "This is not charity. This is enlightened self interest," Clinton said, stressing that aid and trade go hand in hand. American businesses are getting an average return of 30 percent on investments in Africa, the president sairl. "This is a good deal, folks." In.his armored limousine, Clinton rode past cinder block houses and wooden shacks in Thokoza and Soweto, two black townships on the outskins of Johannesburg. Residents stood on shop roofs and walls for a glimpse. Security was intense, particularly in crime-ridden Soweto. Sharpshooters watched from a church steeple.

Installation of weatherstripping good move for any homeowner By POPULAR MECHANICS For AP Special Features A typical 2()-year-old house with adequate auic insulation loses more energy to air leaks than from any other source. A barely 'noticeable one.ltighth-inch-wide gap around aii exterior door is equivalent to a gaping ·hole in the wall. Even in a newer house, weatherstripping wears out and becomes ineffective. Also, previous owners may have installed weatherstripping incorrectly, in which case it's best to replace it. Of all the small projects around the house. installing weatherstripping gives you the largest payback, and it can be acGomplished with minimal tools. To pre!)are the surface for new weatherstripping. pry off the old foam or rubber with a putty knife. Spring-metal weatherstripping can be reused if it's not bent. Wash the doorjamb with . detergent and water or trisodium phosphate and water. Scrape off any loose paint. When the wood is dry. apply an alkyd primer to the bare wood. The most dul!lble weatherstripping is the spring-metal type. A new version of this old standby is an easy" to-install vinyl V-strip that has an adhesive backing covered by a peeloft' cover. One roll of V-strip is enough to seal a door or a few windows. To use this weatherstripping. fold it into a V with the adhesive to the outside. If your door fits the jamb tightly, install the strips close to the doorstop with the point of the V toward the door. If the door is slightly warped, and doesn't contact the stop evenly, install the weatherstripping about {me-eighth-inch back from t~top, to ensure it makes contact aloniifle door's length. If your door is not square in the frame or is severely warped. the Vstrip will not be effective. In this ca>e, apply tube-type weatherstripping to t.he doorstop. This weatherstripping consi sts of a vinyl or aluminum nange with a vinyl tube along the edge. With a warped door, you can bend the str\ps along the doorstop to seal it.. Closing off the space between the door and the threshold Can be a problem when the threshold is badly worn. Installing · a two-piece ·adjustable aluminum threshold Ofler the old threshold is the best way to seal under the door in such situations. Since few old jambs are truly square, this threshold adjusts to suit the door. Seal a standard hinged doo~ leading to an unheated attic with V-strip. For a pull-down door. use tubular vinyl weatherstripping or foam S\fip . If the pull-down door overlaps its jamb, staple tubular vinyl weatherstripping inside the jamb, and install it so that it is lower thim lhe·jamb face. The door will then shut against it, making a good seal. · Most garage doors come with some sort of weatherstripping on the bonom. but few have any along the side~ or t~e top of the jamb. In time, the seal at the door's bottom tlattens out and doesn 't confonn to the small irregularities of the garage tloor. Remove the old weatherstripping and fastener.;, and paint tilt bottom of the door to prevent it from absorbing moisture . and delaminating. Install new bottom weatherstripping with the nails provided or galvanized roofing nails.

" Clinton said Friday he would not object if Nigerian military strongman Sani .Abaaha competes in the country 's elections as a civilian. That appeared at odds with remarks two weeks ago by Clinton 's top State Department aide for Africa, Susan Rice. She had said. " Nigeria needs and deserves a real transition to democracy and civilian rule, not another military regime dressed up in civilian clothes ... National Security Adv iser Sandy Berger insisted that Clinton and Rice were saying the same thing. and the real questi on is whether Abacha leads a credible transition to civilian leadership and free elections.

At various stops, Clinton has expressed regret for America's role in the slave trade, neglect of Africa and U.S. hesitation to stop genocide in Rwanda. In Washington, a Republican leader, Texas Rep. Tom DeLay, was quoted as calling Clinton a gray-haired "tlower child ." '1t just offends me that the president of the United States is, directly or indirectly, auacking hi s own country in a foreign land," DeLay said. Administration officials al so tri ed anew to clear up confusion aoter Clinton, at a news ·conference, seemed to signal a change in U.S. policy toward Nigeria.

"Trade cannot replace aid when there is still so much poverty, tlooding, encroaching deserts, drought, violence, threatened food supplies, malaria, AfDS and other diseases," the president said. He outlined previously announced assistance programs, including $500 million in U.S.backed loan guarantees for U.S. companies building roads, airports, ports and other infrastructure in Africa. He also said he would work with allies to reduce Africa's debt. White House spokesman Mike McCurry snapped back at Republi cans critical back home of Clinton's repentant tone in Africa. Congressional / Republicans are just feeling the pressure from their restive conservative wing, McCurry said.

He promised to convene a Washington summit 'o f African leaders "to make sure there is follow-up and this trip is not a one-shot event." The Clintons fly to Botswana on Sunday for a safari in a game preserve. They also will stop in Senegal before flying home. In Johannesburg, Clinton dedicated a commercial center named for Ron Brown, the secretary of commerce and Clinton friend who was killed in a 1996 plane crash. Funded by the Commerce Department, the center will help American companies doing business in the Sub-Saharan African market. Clinton said America's emerging trade pa.rtnership should not come at the expense of U.S. development assistance. He said he would urge Congress to restore African aid to its . historic high level - $830 million a year.

BOOTS Homes Q&A: covering turbine vents By POPULAR MECHANICS For AP Speclii .Features Q: While installing a new roof, the contractor recommended two large spinners that tum in the wind for ve~­ tilating the attic. My quesuon IS whether to cover them in the winter or leave them open. A: The only reason that we k.now of for covering the turbine vents is if you live in an area where the winter snowfall is.great enough to cover the vents. In this case. when the snow melts, water will leak into the attic through the openings between the vent vanes. If the attic's ventilation is dependent on the turbine's free air openiJig. you must provide alternative ventilation during the winter when the turbines are covered. The unobstructed vent opening should be 1/300 of the attic noor area when there is a vapor barrier on the underside of the insu,(ation, and 1/150 of the attic noor ·when there is no vapor barrier.

Clinton saluted "the bravery of the young men and women who took to the streets In protest- many of whom were cut down in struggle, more of whom were damaged by prison and torture." He honored all "black, white, colored South Africans who answered the call of conscience.'' Clinton and his wife Hillary planted a tree and laid flowers at the brown marble headstone memorializing Hector Peterson, the first schoolboy killed. in the demonstratiun.
