Few can resist the charm of homemade strawberry jam on toast, raspberry jam glazed over a roast pork or a cherry-blueberry jam drizzled over ice cream. Take advantage of the abundance . of fruit through summer by preserving some of nature's sweetest neetars in a jam. Aithough some cooks may be intimidated by the process of making jam because of safety concerns, it takes only a few basic facts, ingredients and equipment to make a batch of jam. It's surprisingly simple and can even be fun. " It 's the easiest thing of all (the canning process). It is the safest form and the most beautiful and it is so tasty." says Mary Samida, a master food preserver in charge of specia! projects for the University of California Cooperative Extension, San Bernardino County. c Safety concerns Unless you plan to consume all the jam· you make Within a few weeks, the jam will have to be processed in a boiling water bath. This means the jars of jam are placed in boiling water for I0 to 20 minutes, depending on the altitude. The boiling water bath preserves jam for long-term storage by killing microorganisms and preventing contamination. Before starting, you should be aware of some safety precautions and misconceptions about jam makmg. - Some pectin manufacturers state that a boiling water bath method is unnecessary in pr~serving jams for long-term storage. Instead, they suggest that after the lw01Jiece lids are in place, to turn the jars over and the jars will seal. "Thlt'< an incorrect recommendation . The process of a water bath is to make sure all of the ingredients and containers reach a certain temperature to kill the bacteria. A seal can h" formed at a lower temperature and bacteria and mold can still fonn . So it's not good for you," wa1 :,s Sam ida. --Sealing the jam with a paraffin wax -is another method of food pr~<ervation that Samida does not recommend. The FDA no longer accepts it as a safe way to preserve jams or jellies, she says. ·"Paraffin expands and contracts with the temperature and this allows bacteria to get in and around it," Samida says. The only safe way to preserve jams on the shelf is to use the canning jars with the two-piece screwtop lids and put them through a boiling water bath, she says. -' Doubling a batch of jam depends on the pectin. Some pectin manufacturers state it"s okay to make a double batch, others do not because the jam will not set properly, Samida says. - Instead, she recommends starting one batch, then when it's going, in about 5 minutes, stan the other. - Sterilizing canning jars in the dishwasher is a safe method of sterilization. - Jam that has been processed in a boiling water bath will keep for one year if stored in a cool, dark place, where the temperature remains in the 60s. If the iemperalure in the,_, closet hits · the 70s and above, the jam will last about three months, Samida says. -Most commercial pecJin manufacturers provide recipes for making a variety of the most commoh jams, such as raspberry, apricot and peach. Equipment needed for making Jam ,. Here 's what you need to make jams. The following information is taken from "So Easy to Preserve," published by the Cooperative Extension Service, University of Georgia. Necessary ingredients; - Fruit: The fruit can be fresh, frozen or canned. If fresh, select fruits that are just ripe. (When using frozen or canned fruits, use no-sugar added varieties and canned fruits should be preserved in their own juices.) - Pectin: Pectin is a substance found in all fruits, with some containing more pectin than others. Fruits low in natural pectin require the addition of commercially made pectin. made of apple or citrus fruit. Pectin aids in the gelling of jams. Sold in most neighborhu~d supermarkets,·commercial pectin is avail.able in powdered and liquid form and cost about $2 a box. Recipes Will tell you if pectin is needed. Manufacturers of commercial pectin also provide many recipes in their packages. Some commercial pectin contains sugar. Read the instructions on the box to determine if added sugar requires alterations in your recipes. · - Sugar: Sugar serves as the preservative and aids in the gelling of the jam . Granulated sug~r is called for most often in recipes, but some recipes may call for the use of honey or com syrup. It is also possible to make jam with no added sugar by using commercial pectin that calls for no added sugar. -Add: Acid also is needed for thickening of the jam as well as for flavor. Some fruits are higher in acid than others. Recipes will list it as an ingredient, if needed (usually either as lemon juice or citric acid). Step-by-step instructions for Jams. - Check jars for cracks or chips and lids for any blemished sealing surfaces. Discard any with prob!ems. Wash in hot soapy water and rinse. - Sterilize jars and rims by either running them through the dishwasher or place in boiling water for 10 minutes. Jars must be kept hot until jar is poured inside. - Sterilize lids according to manufacturer's instructions. - Fill the boiling water canner over half full. deep enough to cover jars completely. Tum on heat and bring water to a gentle boil. -In a separate pot. bring enough water to a gentle boil so that it covers the jars in the water bath canner by 1-to-2 inches. - Follow recipe for making jam. - Remember to stir fruit until sugar dissolves and .crushed fruit slowly comes to a boil. Follow recipe's instructions for length of time jam is to boil rapidly. As mix· ture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking and scorching. -Jam is done when it reaches .a temperature of 220 degrees. For a softer product, shonen the cooking time: for a thicker product, lengthe.n the time. - Remove any scum that fonns on the jam before filling the jars. - Prepare the area for filling the jars by placing a clean kitchen towel on the counter.

All but one of the counties are in eastern or southeastern Ohio, which was hit by storms. Ottawa County is in nonhwest Ohio and was hit by a tornado and storms June 24. Gov. George Voinovich has declared a state of emergency in Holmes County, raising the number of counties under the state declaration to 26.

"They are definitely the counties they have to win," he said. "This is where they think they can do damage to me." Senate Republicans strategists think they ~an unseat Shoemaker from along the Ohio River, because he has never appeared on the ballot in Scioto, Lawrence, Gallia and Meigs Counties. Appointed to the 17th District seat in 1996, Shoemaker is well-known in Ross County, Pickaway and Vinton Counties from his eight terms as 91st District representative. In part, this north-south dynamic explains why Shoemaker's opponent this fall is Lee Thatcher, a Portsmouth businessman. Thatcher is well-known in Scioto and Lawrence Counties having twice ran losing state rep campaigns against 92nd District Rep. Bill Ogg, DSciotoville. To unseat Shoemaker, Thatcher hones in on the anti-tax sentiment that runs strong through southern Ohio. "This is a guy that within 10 days of being elected to office, he votes for the largest income tax increase in the history of the state of Ohio," he said, referring to Shoemaker's House vote for the infamous 90 percent income _tax increase of 1983. Later, Thatcher said: "Every time our government rai<es taxes it 's a slap in the face to taxpayers."

REED Tlmea-Sen_tlnel Staff TUPP¥S PLAINS - A group of citizens in Tuppers Plains, di5iatisfied with ·the progress of public officials in helping them, ifjlve agreed to hire an.attorney. . Funds to pay attorney fees are being collected by the group, which has tfeen meeting for <everal months to counter what they consider to be unfair costs for connecting to the Tuppers Plains Regional Sewer system. "Legal fl!lll'' of $25, $50 and $100 have been requested from all residents affected by the new system, according to Loretta Murphy, who along with Randy Kidder has helped organize the citizens' group. Payment of the fees is voluntary, Murphy said, and the fees have been set at different levels so that each resident can pay what he or sh""'can afford. The group has met twice with the Meigs, County Commissioners, demanding that the cost of connecting all households to the system be paid with public funds. The commissioners have so far pledged $80,000 to assist very low and low-income residents in connecting to the system - $50,000 of those funds will come from the county's Community Development Block Grant program, and $30,000 from the Community Housing Improvement Program. Despite this pledge of funding, the group of citizens, who have estimated the cost of connecting all homes at nearly $200,000, are ·still dissatisfied, and insist that all residents must receive public funds for both connecting to the new sewer system and abandoning their existing septic tanks, another expense required by the sewer district. Payment of this expense, Murphy said, for all residents in the village, is due the residents because they have been misled by members of the sewer district board, the county commissioners, the district's legal representatives and by legislators whose assistance has been sought. Residents are also displeased with the requirement that they pay a "capital improvement" charge of up to $5,700, which will be used to retire the debt incurred liy the district in con~truct­ ing the $3.1 million project. They feel that the charge, which must be either paid in a lump sum or in installments ori their sewer district bill,-will create a hardship on re~idents who can least afford it. Murphy said Friday that the group wi\1 also consider the : possibility of lodging a formal complaint against certain sewer · district board members for what she claims are violations of the · "Sunshine Law," because, she alleges, the board h~s not per- : mined her access to financial and meeting records. · Flood sweeps away 160-year-old church; Bible survives natu-re's fury The church's piano came to rest a By JIM FREEMAN Chester, allended the church which TJma•Sentlnel Staff practically straddled the Athens- quarter mile down the road, scat· ALFRED - For almost 160 Meigs county line, drawing parish- tered against a fence.

(AP)- Officials at Marshall University say aggressive recruiting, an abundance of scholarships and a good reputation can be credited for a surge in new students. "Growth in applications for the fall of 1998 is unprecedented," said Joan Mead, dean of the College of Liberal Arts. As of Monday, 4,507 freshman and transfer students had been admitted to MarshaU, compared to 3,992 admitted by the same date last year. And tlie applications are still coming. So many students have registered for fall classes at Marshall that hundreds of classes had to be closed. About 700 sections of 172 undergraduate classes are filled to compaaly, according to data from Marshall's registrar. Most of the closed classes are in the departments of English, biological science, communication studies and software development. Some students are concerned the overcrowding will affea their education. "(The closing of classes) is definitely going to affea the students. They either need to offer more sections or hire more instruct9rs," said freshman Mary Dunlap. · "It's a problem of available classroom space more than anything else. Our classrooms are filled from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m." We have not encountered such a situation before," Stringer said. But university officials say having so many students is problem they welcome, and students should not worry. Registrar Roberta Ferguson said the university will add more sections to help tltose students who register late. "We are not turning st11dents away," she said. Marshall's direaor of admissions says the spurt in enrollment can be attributed to many reasons, but mainly the high number of guaranteed scholarships the university offers to students who test well on admission's exams. President J. Wade Gilley said this is the fourth consecutive year Marshall had a substantial growth in enrolling students. "We are pleasantly surprised with the growing popularity of Marshall," Gilley said. Weather Southern Ohio a key to race for ·· 17th District seat OHIO Weather WASHINGTON (AP) - Hand over hand, William Warley hoists an American flag up a ~flop pole at the U.S. CapiiOI.Jt flaps in the breeze for a few seconds and then Warley runs it back down, folds it and boxes it. Hand over hand - up, then down. Fold. Box. Repeat. _ Since the program started in 1937, more than 2.4 million flags have been flown over the Capitol and then sold or given away as souvenin. Each comes with a certificate marking the date that it flew in the Capitol breeze and the name of the person for whom it was flown. "We just send it up, let it blow three or four seconds and then bring it down," aaid Warley, one of several workets who together hoist an average of 250 to 300 flags a day except in rain or snow. "This is priority, so if we're doing another job and emergency (orders for) flags come up, we have to stop what we're doing and come do this." The banner year was 1991 when _154,224 flags were flown. Maybe Americans were feeling patriotic because of the Persian. Gulf War. Nobody knows for sure. The biggest single day for flagflying was July 4, 1976, the U.S. bicentennial. "We did 10,471 that day," said Christine Benza, who has worked in the flag office for 38 years. "We worked round the clock to make sure all tl)ose flags were flown." Is it fun? "Not really," said Warley. Especiatly not on a day last month when flags around tbe nation were flying at half-staff to mark the death of fonner Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. No disrespect to Goldwater, but his death madc .Warley's job more difficult. He had to run each flag all the way to the top, back down halfway in memory of Goldwater, back up to the top and then back down. That's flag-raising protocol. "That's what you've got to do," he said. "That's my job:" The flag-waving operation began after a member of Congress asked for one of the flags that had flown over the Capitol and was .being replaced due to wear. Soon, the rising number of requests for flags pro111p1ed Congress to begin flying smaller flags, furnished by members or constituents, from special poles erected on the Capitol's roof. Nowadays, people contact one of their members of Congress to request a flag, sometimes asking tbat one be flown over the Capitol on a date that mark,§ a special occasion such as a birthday or graduation. Prices range from $6.94 for a 3by-5-foot nylon flag to $18.75 for a 5-by-8-foot colton flag. There also is a $3.30 flag-waving fee. In 1995, when Republicans took control of Congress, the House voted to end the flag-waving operation as part of a package of austerity measures. Door,to-door delivery of buckets of ice to 891 House offices also stopped. The flags kept going up and down the poles: The Senate refi!sed to halt an operation that legislators like because it's so popular with their constituents. . The flag-waving operation was transfonned from a taxpayer-supported service into a self-sustaining venture. Flag-waving fees cover the cost of running the flag office and paying its six employees. On one recent day, Carole Roberts, office manager for Rep.

Motorists turned on their headlights at noon Friday as they made their way through smoke that cut visibility to a quarter-mile at the Daytona Beach airport. Traffic on State Road 100, lined with American flags in anticipation of holiday celebrations now on hold, was backed up for miles. About 1,500 members of the National Guard were ordered to help with traffic control and provide security for evacuated areas. Nearly 600 Guardsmen are already fighting fires. . Since June 1, some 2,000 wildfires have scorched 453,000 acresmore than 10 times the size of Washington, D.C. - in drought-stricken Florida.

Walt Disney World and other resorts in Orlando, about 50 miles south of the worst blazes, were largely unaffected. By Friday evening, the humidity rose and the sea breezes kicked in, slowing the spread of the fires. "That gives the people a better chance of defending structures, defending themselves and curtailing the fires," said Ray Geiger, chief of field operations for the Florida Division of Forestry.

Ohio zone forecast "If we got a major financial crisis in Japan, that could trigger a major .stock market correction in the Unit· ed States," said David Wyss, economist at Standard and Poor's DRI. , "There is plenty to be scared about for the next couple of years." Wyss rated the chance of a U.S. recession in the next 18 months at only one in five. More likely is that the U.S. economy will slow substantially but continue growing. Instead of the sizzling 5.4 percent January-March growth rate in the gross domestic product, Wyss forecast growth slowed to just 2.1 percent in the just-completed spring quarter and predicted it will hover around that rate for the next year. Such low growth rates would not be enough to keep the unemployment ·rate from rising, and many economists predict the jobless rate will near 5 percent by year end. While UP. from the 28-year low of 4.3 percent reached this spring, a 5 percent unemployment rate would still reflect a robust U.S. job market. Conllnued from p1111t1 A1 252-5554.

Nol the weather, the economy. Analysts see the United Slates headed for a dramatic slowdown in growth because of troubles in Asia. And that is the best-case scenario. In the nightmare versions, economists fear the Asian crisis could spiral out of control, bringing down first Japan, then China and in short order engulfing the whole world in a global recession.

"Any time you evacuate an entire county it's going to be perceived as disorganized because some people aren't going to know what to do, " he said. "We are doing the best we can with the limited resources we have." Some residents decided to go farther than the nearest hotel or shelter.

Speculation about Ashland's possible departure increased after last year's joint venture with Marathon Oil.

As part of the joint venture, 100 to 150 jobs were transferred from the Ashland Petroleum Co. buildmg in Russell and another 150 to 200 people lost their jobs.

Last month, the House Committee on Education and the Worldorce approved a "Dollars to the Oassroom" bill · that should be voted on by the full House within a month.

He was 51. Rokhlin, the leader of a splinter movement aimed at deposing .Yeltsin, was found in his bed Friday with a gunshot wound to the head at his Naro-Fominsk residence 40 miles southwest of Moscow, said Col. Gcnnady Melnik, spokesman for Moscow regional police. Rokhlin's wife Tamara, 48, told police that she had a "hostile rela. tionship" with her husband and that she used his personal handgun to shoot him as he lay sleeping, Melnik said. Mrs. Rokhlin notified a guard, who alerted police. After her confession, she was arrested and taken into · custody. Rokhlin won praise for commanding Russian troops at the· beginning of the 1994-96 war in Chechnya, a conflict that resulted in an embarrassing defeat for Russian forces. After leaving the military, Rokhlin was elected to parliament in 1995 as a member of a pro-Yeltsin political party. But Rokhlin grew disenchanted with Yeltsin 's plans for military reform and last year launched the Movement in Support of the Army, an anti- Yeltsin organization that drew support among current and former Russian servicemen upset by the military's decline in recent years. The extent of Rokhlin 's following remained unclear. _ Police believe the killing was unconnected to Rokhlin's political work, Melnik said. Still, Yeltsin ordered a full and open investigation.

It sounds like good politics, and Republicans are counting on that: Polls show Democrats enjoy between a 13- and 20-point advantage on education issues. Democrats are not about to join the block-granting bandwagon. The House committee vote last month was strictly party-line, 19-18.

(AP) -A union has sued the U.S. Enrichment Corp. in an attempt to remove the secrecy surrounding its decision to sell the company ·through a public stock · offering. Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union, which has about 2,000 members working at USEC plants in Paducah and Portsmouth, Ohio, filed the suit this week in U.S. District Court in Washington . Richard Miller, OCAW policy analyst, said the union asked for an injunction requiring USEC to produce or preserve documents and transcripts leading to an announce ment Monday to pursue a stock. offering of $1.35 billion to$ :.65 billion. Miller said the union is concerned about the in.pending loss of at least 300 jobs at each plant and the potential for a plant shutdown. Those possibilities surfaced in a 1,000-page registration statement that the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. he said. "This funeral has been planned for a long time, and the only thing they have left is how to get through it without having to tell people the truth, " Miller said. Because of a " quiet period" associated with the stock offering, USEC has decl ined comment on any part of the decision process, which was made during at least six closed meetings of the USEC Board of Directors. Claiming business confidentiality, USEC has repeatedly denied union requests under the Freedom of Information Act to obtain records about the sale . Rut some of those same documents - notably a strategic plan published last fall calling for 600 job cuts if USEC were sold publicly are now exh ibits with the stock offering. The union and lawmakers from Kentucky and Ohio have written many leners trying to halt the sale on the grounds that it violates job-protection and plant-viability criteria of Two Ohio project~· .may WASHINGTON (AP) - 1\vo Ohio projects vetOed by President Clinton may be back in business now that the Supreme Court has ruled the line-item veto unconstitutional. Last year, Clinton used the line-item veto to snuff out a $140,000 grant for a greenhouse project at Ohio State University, along with a $50,000 grant for a University of Toledo researcher to clone genes of a promising grain. · The White House says it is still reviewing the Supreme Court's decision to see whether all of the vetoed items must be reinstated. But Robert Reischauer, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, said he didn't see much wiggle room. "I don't know what the government would argue," said Reischauer. · Both Ohio projects were inserted by Rep. Marcy Kaptur, O-Ohio. But they were ridiculed by a spokeswoman for Rep. John Kasich, R-Ohio, the chairman of the House Budget Committee. "Anytime we can get rid of some pork, the chairman has no problem getting rid of some wasteful spending," spokeswoman Adrien MacGillivray said. · Kaptur noted that Kasich's district is home to OSU's main campus, which receives many federal research dollars. "Don't tell me that isn't the biggest pork district in the state," she said. Kaptur said she insertert the two projects because neither mote."

The third time was the right time for ·Jana Novotna. Novotna, the losing finali st in 1993 and 1'997 , won her fir st Wimbledon title today with a 6-4. 76 (7-2) victory over Nathalie Tauziat. • After Novotna hit a forehand passing shot to end the match, she dropped to her knees, held her arms in the air and covered her face with both hands as she wept with joy. After embracing Tauziat at the net, Novotna ran up into the players' box in the Centre Court stands, where she hugged her coach. Hana Mandlikova, and her mother. Five years ago, Novotna wept on the duchess' shoulder after blowing a 4- 1 third -s et lead in the final against Steffi Graf. Last year, after losing in three sets to Martina Hingis, the duchess encouraged her with the words "third-time luck¥ ." There were no tears today when Novotna accepted the winner' s plate from the duchess. The two held each other's outstretched hands and spoke animatedly for almost a minute. ''I'm so proud of you," the duchess told Novotna. When she first took the trophy. Novotna let out a big sigh of relief. "I don't believe it," she said as she held the trophy over her head, then pressed it to her cheek like a pillow and kissed it gently. . Novotna circled the court and mouthed " thank you" as the 15,000 fans gave her a rousing standing ovation that lasted for several minutes. While the players walked off, the duchess waved ~o Novotna, who responded by giving the thumbs-up sign. The victory marked the long awaited breakthrough for Novotna, lon2 considered the besc women· s player Volithout a Grand Slam title.

She led 3-1 and 5-3 in the second set and served for the match at 5-4. But Novotna played tentatively and was broken for 5-5 . After Tauziat held in the next game for 65, a third set seerru:d 10 be looming . Novotna, however, held for 6-6 and completely dominated the tiebreaker, winning five straight points from 2-2 to close out the match.

She fell to the ground and dropped her racket in disgust. · "She was just too good today," Tauziat said.

Conapondent I was struck by the announcement that Juwan Howard, star forward for the Washington Wizards, • is suing a woman for $20 million who previously accused him of sexual impropriety. There 's an imponant message here: paybacks are hell! Last month, Sports Illustrated ran a Father's Day issue in which it blasted professional athletes for having ~h ildren out of wedlock. It used Cleve· land Cavaliers forward Sean Kemp, who has fathered seve n ch ildren by six different mothers, as its prime example. Kemp, and the rest of these so-called "role modets," should be criticized for their lack of judgment and morals; however, please tell me why no one attacked those women with whom these athletes were havmg children• After all, binh control and marriage are not new concepts. While you 're at it, please tell me the last time you saw women fa lling all over the local Wal-Mart associate or accountant to have sex. Why aren't they being followed wherever they go by sycophant ic groupies• The only way they oould experience such treatment is if they won a million -dollar lottery Let's f~ce it, some women target athletes for an easy ride through life There 's prestige and money if you can corral a professional ath lete under the sheets. Does anyone seriously believe these lad ies - I'm using the term loose ly -would have anything to do with these men if they weren 't rich profes· sional sports stars? They are an embarrassment to all hard-working and decent women in the world. Last week, it was reponed that Boston Red Sox pttchcr'Bret Saberhagen complained about his child suppon payments. li see ms Bret believes it is a little draconian for the ooun to order him to pay $~5.000 a month . Brei's right! Saberbagen's ex-wife cannot be compared with those women previOusly mentioned. She was married to Bret before he made hts mark in the maJor leagues. But imagine bow this story wtll affect some~ne who ts lookmg for an easy way out. Get pregnant by an athlete and you will never have to work agam. It 's easy street. It 's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Saberhagen 's salary is a drop in the bucket when co mpared to someone like Kemp. Imagine if you have Shaq 's child' He makes over $20 million a year. A woman could make a hundred grand a month with that type of income. · Athletes' salaries are substantial and pu bltctzed. Consequently, these young, sexually active men become easy targets. In some respects, they bi:come willing victims .. The day after Jason Kidd was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks, a woman filed a paternity suit against him in an Oakland, Calif., courtroom. Naturally, she waited until Kidd was drafted and given a guaranteed contract in the NBA before she filed .. She knew she would get more money that way. I guess that's what we call long-term planning pick on a top college star before he turns professtonal. This optnion might not be fair. They may have wanted and planned this child. As far as we know, they may still be together. But tl happens so frequently in our society that it is easy to be cynical. Look at Dennis Rodman! He 's bemg sued, for some ndtculous nonsense, every time he goes to Las Vegas. If I was to do what Rodman dtd, hke rubbing the head of a patron, I' m almost certain I wouldn't face a lawsUi t. But these people know it's easier for athletes to sett le out of court than go to trial. In fact, this is what these lawsuit -happy indivtduals are expecting to happen. The cameraman Rodman kicked two years ago received a settlement of $200,000 within a few weeks ofthe incident. But just because someone is rich or a professional ath lete, doesn' t that mean the rest of society has the right to sue them for any and every reason. If you want to improve your income, get an education or look for a better job. What a surprise it must have been when Howard's suit was delivered to an unsuspecting and disappointed "victim ." . Howard is young, and his actions are, at times, like all young people, just plain stupid. Inviting strippers to a party at teammate Chris Webber 's house was not the brightest thing to do if you're trying to make the playoffs. You (an rest assured that Michael Jordan and Karl Malone wercn 't there, because :they were too busy concentrating on their families and JObs. : · The truth be told, nothing happened at the party and the young "lady" ·tried to use the occasion to reach an out of cou·n sett lement from two very .rich NBA superstars.

Sampson. once hailed as a genius and hero for addtng offensive nair and attacking gu ile to the national team's stable defense, was villtfied by several players throughout the United States' brief appearance at World Cup 98 in France. Sampson did make several errors in judgment prior to and during this year's World Cup. His total, and illfated .. overhaul of the U.S. system along with severn! dubious personnel moves contributed to a less than opti· mum mental and emotional atmosphere heading to France. The change from the attractive attacking style of the 4-4-2 (that 's four defenders. four midfielders and two strikers) to the 3-6-1 (add two more midfielders and drop one striker) took the edge off the U.S. team. He alleged that the 3-6-1 would produce more attractive. attacking soccer. but all it produced was one goal in three matches at France 98.

The short li st tncludes fanner Brazil mastermind Carlos Alberto Pareira. former MetroStars boss Carlos Queiroz and ex-U.S. national team head man Bora Miluti novic . All are excellent choices with impeccable credent ials. but is any one of them the right man for taking the national team to the next level ' I would aqd to that list Bruce Arena. head coach of two·ttme defending MLS champion D.C. United. Arena, if U.S. Soccer wants to hire another American coach, has all the qualitie s of a successful leader. He has dtrected teams at almost every level of competition to champi onships. Arena has the personality of a rattlesnake. but is a no-nonsense type who I think would do a good job. · As for the questionable personnel moves, I thought the inclusion of defenders Alex i La las and Jeff Agoos was a poor ch01ce Neither played a minute in France and both dtsplayed .poor attitude.s and were vocal about their dislike of the system to the international press. Forwards Eric Wynal da and Preki and mtdGelder Tab Ramos also whined to the press about the system. which added to the team 's shon season of di scontent . When Colombian superstar Faustino Asprilla openly berated his coach's tactics to the press corps followmg the.ir opentng match. he was promptly dismissed from the team and sent home. Sampson. should have taken a page from the Colombian play book and put all the mal contentston a Bnttsh Atrways oneway fhght back to the states. Published reports .al"' told of players mak tng phone c.tll' to John Harkes. the depo"d "captatn for life" of the national team, who was left off the roster by Sampson for refusing to assume a diflerent role wtth the team. Sampson wanted Harkes to take on a more defenstve mtndset. which Harkes refused to do. Harkes also blasted Sampson in the American press, whtch no doubt fueled the fire of dtscontent among the players across the big pond. rronically. due to injury·and players lost to the World Cup. Harkes was forced into assummg a more.defenstve role for his club stde , D.C. Untt· ed of Major League Soccer. When D.C. rolled into Columbus several weeks ago to play the Crew, Harkes was introduced rn the starting II as a defender. What U.S. Soccer needs to do no.w is to identtfy the problems that led to thts team's failure and seek to rectify them as well as work harder to develop new talent that can not only compete. bui dommate on the h intemallonal stage. Leadershtp at the top of the food : chain also needs to lie revamped. · Alan I.

How- · ever. what U.S. Soccer needs now ts . a commitmenl to player development' . and improv mg performance on the international scene. In that hght, 1. · think the game has passed by Rothenberg . Then who should be the new leader for U.S. Soccer as we head . i.nt o the , new mtllenntum' The answer. I believe. is Francisco Marcos. the commtsstoner of the A· League and the USISL. Marcos. a veteran of the old Nonh· · Ameman Soccer League wrth the. Tampa Bay Rowdtes, helped keep the. outdoor professwnal game in thi s country alfoat when the NASL folded in the mid ·so·s.

Then Ronalda set up two tirst-half goals and lit up the night, sending Brazil into the semifinals with a 3-2 vtctory over Denmark.

Whether t&e subject ~is weights, videos. daily 1'\)Utines or stances at the plate,there 's no consensus on the best way to produce the staggering horne run ntlm~rs that have highlighted the first McGwire's drill of choice is "soft toss." A coach kneels a fewieet away from him. behind a prOiective screen, and feeds him underhanded tosses, which are promptly blasted into a baiting net McGwire doesn't take a 101 of tosses, maybe 15 to 20 swings a day, but it's enough to get him locked in. "What he does is he'll track one, track two, and then he'll go into hit- · ting, and he'$ right on the ball," says St. Louis baning coach Dave Paril:er.

Something isn't right.' "Well, he went out there and hit three horne runs. And that was the worst round of soft toss we'd ever seen him take." So practice doesn't make perfect after all, not even perfect practice. But with the relentless nature of baseball -games day aflcr day after day after day - your ne~l at-bat is never far away.

Tony La Russa has been- ~cG­ wi~e's manager for II of the redheaded slugger's 12 major league seasons. lle says McGwire is simply ' maxing out his talen~ work ethic and time I walked on the earth.

Folks raved about his power when he reached the top deck at Veterans Stadium during balling practice. · "But understand that the configunuion in every stadium is different." he says. "So the top deck in Veterans Stadium or (Busch Stadium) might . be midway in the Metrodome seats.

He says · he just now understands some of the things that Bob Watson tried to teach him in the '80s, when the fonner Yankees general manager was a hilling instructor with Oakland.

Fly-f.IShl·ng takes great deal of"s'kl.ll, patl•ence By SPORTS AFIELD A Hurtt Magazine Fly-fishing can be an elegant and effective way to catch fish , wrote Anthony Acerrano in an article in the summer issue of Sports Afield, or it can be a frustrating bumble. Whether you ' re a beginner just . out of the gate, or an ex"perienced hand who still believes there's more to learn, the following tips can help boost both the level and the pleasure of your game. Make it a habit to stretch the fty line before you start fishing . Flyline's memory causes it to retain the coil shape of the spool. The longer it stays on the spool unused, the more severe the coiling. Coils create tangles and knots. They stick in the rod guides during the cast and make it difficult to shoot line smoothly. Before the first cast, pull all the line from the reel, a yard or so at a time, stretching it across your chest. Then stretch it again, bottom to top. Even better, while reeling the line back onto the spool, run it through a cleaning pad or rag dampened or an Armorall-type product. A ·clean line handles better, floats higher and shoots through the guides with minimal friction. Never let your fly line hang free and loose during casting, presentation or when fighting a fish . While falsecasting , slack line is controlled by the free, or " line ," hand. Most anglers then simply let go wh~n they shoot out a cast. Don't. Instead, shoot the line through an "0" made with the index finger and thumb-tip of the line hand. This not only lets you stop or shorten the cast at will by closing the 0. It also gives you constart control. When the cast lands, , nere is no groping for the loose Loe , nor can the line wrap around the handle or rod butt. Next, slip the line under the index finger of the rod hand before stripping in the retrieve. If a fish strikes, simply clamp down to lock the line against the grip, then lift the rod as needed to set the hook efficiently. • Cast out, not down. Most fly casters impair their delivery (and dis- . lance potential) by dropping the rod tip too much on the forward cast, in effect casting down instead of. out. This is understandable because we generally focus our eyes on the water or the fish . Far better, though, to stop the forward cast whil~ the tip is moving only marginally "down" (just enough to get out of the way of the forward-moving flyline) . An abrupt stop of the rod tip durint~ the forward cast, before the tip drops more than slightly, will send your fly line zinging out over the water, giving the line and leader a .~ance to turn over fully, dropping the fly on target. Cast less, th.ink more. Anglers are in too much .of a rush, making too much commotion, fishing on apparent autopilot,. catching nothing but dubious exercise . Slow down. Observe the water carefully before rushing in. Apply a little angling theory to the scene. To cast elegantly and well, think timing . not power. If you arc! muscling the rod or relying on power to make the rod work, your timing's probably haywire. Go back to fundamentals: a very short line 30 feet, say, just enough to load the rod - where muscle isn't necessary . Pick up, backcast, transition to a forward cast, light forward snap (mostly wrist), abrupt stop of rod tip, line shooting out. It's all about timing . Stay with the short line until the sense of proper timing is ingrained.

Many people gathered this past weekend at the 33rd Annual River Recreation Festival . Although this is how the Gallia County community chose to celebrate the Fourth of July, celebrations during this weekend take on many forms. The Fourth of July holiday weekend hasundergone some major changes . since the United States declared its freedom on July 4, 1776. Although the hohday never initially received any major recognition, the way the holiday is perceived by many today most likely is never what the forefathers of the Umted States intended and/or expected. . A year after the Declaration of Independence was signed, celebrations began to take place but not nearly like they are today. Back in 1777, ther: were _gath· erings but it was not until the early 1800s that some of the hohday s tradtttons began. By the 1800's towns started to have parades, picnics, and fire:-"orks, w~i~h became a popular form of entertainment. Another benefit of havmg a patnouc holiday weekend is usually workers get a day or if they are lucky two off from work. In Gallipolis, the town communed on the city park to wale~ a queen get crowned, children's games, contests, entertlllnmen\ and most Importantly fireworks. People from all over Gallia County and surrounding ar~as came to the city of Gallipolis to visit a special coqcessiqn, show off a spec1al talent and relax during the long holiday weekend. . Of course, to follow tradition the city also featured a parade that mcluded horses, businesses, organizations, special recognized guests and bands.. While many gather m the c1ty to watch parades and attend festivals, others use the weekend to get out of tpwn to visit family and friends and to escape the monotony of the regular work week. In fact, the fourth is one of the biggest travel weekends of the year. Still other people choose to stay home and have family outings such as barbecues or picnics. These events bring in out of town guests and for some act as family reunions. Popular gatherings such as these advantage of the wal"m afternoon 'weathc:r and cool ~venings. · Since the Ohio Rivc;r is convenient-· ly located around the exterior of the. · southern Ohio counties, many water sport activities are also taken advan. . . tage of throughout the weekend.

The movie version of summer draws audiences from across the age-and-gender map. However, two crucial groups become the target of special aitention come warm weather: "rriiddle-aged kids" and adult women. Movie executives have found th~t children who are too old for "baby" movies (anything rated G) but too yougg for R-level mayhem want to see PG-13 fare. Even the term " family film" is shunned bv moviemakers. Terry Press, head of marketing for DreamWorks studio explained the phenomenon for the trade paper Variety last month, saying, "These days, you can't get an 8-year-old to go to a Grated movie." At the same time, film companies are trying to coax more adult women to theaters, hoping to re-create the success of movies such as "The Bridges of Madison County," " The First Wives Club" and "Waiting to Exhale." Women made those movies into hits, while rejecting ultra-violent action pictures and sexually graphic adult fare. The result this year is a spate of action movies ("Godzilla," "Deep Impact") that are less gory than similar entries from the past, and adult Let our friendly staff help you get on line today.

By Max Tawney I have been reading and watching television about President Clinton on his trip to China where he has been meeting and talking with President Jiang Zemin. They seem to get along good, but Zemin appears to have told Clinton, you run your country and I will run mine the way I think best. Zemin does seem very friendly and nothing like the former rulers of China. · I was in China in 1980 and many changes have been made since then . . I saw many prisoners doing slave labor, young children working in factories, women of all ages making men's and ladies' clothing in unsanitary cond1tions. In fact I bought two beautiful shirts for a dollar each in Shanghai. Two years later, I was in a large store in Columbus and saw a shirt just like mine . I looked at the tag and it said "Made in China". No wonder we have high employment here in the United States of America. Back when I was in China in 1989, I saw Chairman Deng Xiaoping along with many of his cabinet members, but I was not allowed to take pictures of him .

Obviously, if you make an investment in your name it will be taxed at your lax rate. In the case of custodial accounts. the Internal Revenue Code siatcs that children under age 14 arc allowed to receive a limited amount of unearned income (such as interest or dividends) on a tax-free basis. An additional amount of unearned income is allowed to be taxed at the child's lower tax rate, and thereafter any additional unearned income is taxed at the parent's marginal rate. After age 14, all income is taxed at the child's rate. You should consult your tax advisor for more complete infortnalion regarding your spccilic lax situation.

The etfJCienr floor plan subtly separates the living areas from the sleeping quarters. The home has 1,&48 square feel of living space. A sheltered entry protects family and visitors from the elements. Inside, the living room is the focal point of the home. A fireplace at the rear wall of the room is flanked by win- dows that overlook the back porch and allow plenty of naturol light into the space. The room also has access to the porch. Decorative columns frame ihe entrance to the kitchen and the dining room. The U-shaped kitchen includes a pantry closer and a comer sink, and shares a snack bar with the living room. The sunny dining room is ideal for morning has among irs amenities: double-door access to the rear porch, a good-sized sleeping chamber and a private bath wilh an oval tub, a separate shower and a large walk-in closer. The secondary bedrooms have ample closet space and access to a nearby full bath. meals or midaftemoon snacks, and has easy access to the laundry room and the backyord . .

M1 �Page 08 • Jliiidlq Ct Big vs. small By KIM HARLESS GALLIPOLIS- If you've read the news coverage lately, you'll know there are 'orne folks here in Ohio who think we should bring the livestock farming business in our state to a grinding hal!. They 're calling for a . rnora!Orium. They want the state govemrnem to make it illegal to ex pand any e•isting facilities or build any new ones. Farm· !lureau thinks this is a bad 1dea. A really bad idea. But instead of arguing against such a plan, here's an altemalive to consider. Rather than trying 10 shul down larger farms, let's large! 1he lillie ones. I propose a moratorium on farms slaying smalL Afler alL there arc hungry people oul !here. The world's population is growing . How dare these private property ownelli selfishly decide they want to keep a few acres in the country all !o lhemselves. They should be fo rced to buy additional land, put up barns, invesl in equipmenl, and join 1he ti ght againSI world hunger. Never mind lhallhm family jusl wants a 'luie! place in 1he country to grow a lew crops and raise a couple head of I!VCS!OCk. What they want is of no conse~uence. By slaying small. these operallons are preveming the rest of us from having more food at lower prices. And so, smce I can gather a small but very loud group of people. I shou ld be able to e•ert my influence and force all these small farm<" lu lake on huge amounts of debt "'. • and headache and become on of" the big guys!" By now you're probably thinking this is a pretty silly idea. You're right, it is. But the idea of forcing farmelli to get big is no more ridiculous than foncing them to stay small. Should we a~ a society dictate the size or scale of any private business? No. As long a~ that business meets its legal and social responsibilities, there is no rea'iOn for anyone to infringe on the free enterprise system. In Ohio, agricultures tnu:k record of meeting those responsibilities is tremendous. Despite what othelli may claim, farmelli are doing a great job of protecting the land, air, and water of our state. Is there room for improvement in these efforts? Probably. Are fanners seeking out ways to gain those improvements? Definitely. Should we arbitrarily throw up a slop sign in front of this vital industry? Of COUiliC nol. For some livestock producing families in this state, their pelliOnal goals point them towards expansion and growth. For others, their desires are mel by maintaining a smallerscale operation. Either choice is line. The point is, these families should be allowed to make their own choices. The call for a moratorium is a call to take away that ability to choose. Kim Harless Is area orpnlzation director of tbe Ohio Farm Bureau. n"nday Sunday, July 5, 1998 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Point Pleasant, WV Weather Why worry ~bout food spoljing at picnics? " By BECKY COWNS GALLIPOLIS - You might love a 90-dea- day to play at the park or in the pool, but too much sunny, summer weather can give bacteria a chance to spoil, your picnic. , Food scren11sts say when food rs stored berween the temperatures of 40 and 140 dea-s Fahrenheil it's in a dang~r· zone. (How can you store somethrng at I00 degrees? Leave a cheese cake sit in a meta! cake container in the sun -- the insides heat up!) Bacteria thrive in the danger zone. Bacteria live everywhere in nature: they're in the soil, air. water and the foods you eat Usually, the amount of bacteria is so low that it doesn't do any harm. But with the right temperature, food, moisture and time, bacteria can multiply so quickly that they double every 20 minutes, That's why food scientists rccommend that you never leave food out of the fridge for more than rwo houlli. And. if your picnic is al the lake an hour's drive away, and it.takes another hour to unpack the car and get the chancoal grill fired up, the food you packed might be on the verge of spoiling. (If it smells bad. it's not safe to eat) To help prevent that, pack all the food that needs to stay cold in coolers filled with ice. and store them in the shade. Be sure to put ~-~ ice on top of the food since cold atr ts heavier than warm air and falls. If you put the ice on the bottom. il will really only keep the bottom of the cooler cold. Also. pack the soda tn a separate container. The more times you open the cooler. the more chances the cold air ha~ to escape. Finally, remember this tip: Getting sick isn't worth the food When in doubt, throw it out! What makes fireworks so colorful? They're all gas! Let's stall from the ground up. Fireworks come in different shells that are packed in layers. (The shape of shell and how it's packed controls the firework's design.)
