The report can be sealed for 01 least 21 more days to allow time for further appeals.

The judge wa.~ tryjog to determine Kaczynski's competence after the defendant. in opposition to hi s lawyers' attempt to base a defense on his mental condition. tried to fire them and represent himself.

Because most of the students arc transported by schoolbus, the Stale Highway Patrol is again advising motorists to use caution when approaching stopped schoolbuses. "Students are at the greatest risk of death or injury when they are entering or exiting a schoolbus," said Col. Kenneth B. Marshnll, the patrol superintendent. · Schoolbuses are equipped with both amber and red warning lights to advise motorists a stop is being made. Amber flashing lights indicate caution, that the bus is preparing to stop. Red fl ashing lights mean stop, children are boarding or leaving the bus. Motorists approaching from either direction are required to stop at least 10 feet from the stopped schoolbus and are not to resume motion until the bus has departed. If a schoolbus is stopped on a roadway divided into four or more lanes, only traffic proceeding in the same direction as the bus must stop. "Parents should talk to their children, both those who ride the bus and those who drive to school, and explain the laws and schoolbus safety rules," said Mitchell J.

Official predicts Meigs fair Ohio students go attendance 'way up there' back-to-school as funding issue goes back-to-court BY CHARLENE HOEFUCH Times-Sentinel Staff POMEROY - While it was too soon to have final figures on attendance and gate receipts for the !35th Meigs Cou~ty Fair, Board President Dan Smith was confident Friday afternoon when he predicted that the numbers will be "way up there" for the week. Attendance has been good all week, he said, noting that as of Thursday · gate receipts were last year. Friday night the parking lots were full and the show arena was packed for the livestock sale. Saturday's demolition derby traditionally attracts hundreds. Monday's gate receipts of $14,082 were up almost $7,000 over last year and Smith credited that lo good weather and the rodeo.

It's the first step in what will make the school a technical learning center for all Galli a County students and the community, explained teacher Gary Phillips. The funding was obtained through a Raising the Bar in the Middle Grades grant from Ohio SchooiNet, which in turn was funded by federal sources. KCMS staffers developed a grant ptOposal in 1997 and were awarded the funding earlier this year. The funding could not be used for materials, such .as furniture, but the Gallia County Local Board of Education agreed earlier this summer to help cover some of the costs behind the setup. Money from the grant originally targeted for furniture and other male>ials will be redirect~d into equipment and hardware, KCMS Principal Ron Paxton explained. Since the receipt of the grant, Phillips said, teachers have used their spare hours to buy, set up and learn about the equipment; with the goal cf making students better-prepared for the working world's technical demands. "Mosf of the staff has P"l in hundreds of hours, all without being paid a penny, because we believe this is where the future is going," Phillips said. "The kids will be prepared for the workforce in a way they haven 't before." While KCMS students will benefit from the use of the classroom and laboratory equipment, the project is set up for .use by all interested in learning or improving their skills, Phillips noted. By the time the program is completed, Phillips envisions students and citizens alike using the laboratory for everything from learning basic skills to the development of presentations. ''The more we get into it, the more ideas we have," he said, adding that another phase of interact with research projects as diverse as rain foresl studies to the mission of a NASA vehicle thai will connect with a comet in an effort to determine if an astronomical phenomenon ended the dinosaurs ' days on Earth. "The kids will do the research and help provide results," Paxton said. "They will be pan of the project, not just observi ng." The laboratory is designed for community use, Phillips said, and he and other staffers have rounded up over 75 volunteers to staff the center, which will open nights in the near future .

Sheppard's son feels public opinion swaying to his father CLEVELAND <AP)- While the queslion of whether Dr. Sam Sheppard's infamous murder trial will be replayed in Ohio courts os sull m doubt, the doctor's son said Friday public opinion has switched in his father's favor. "I believe we have finally turned the comer." Sam Reese Sheppard said. Sheppard, 50, of Oakland, Calif., has been working publicly since !989toclear his father's name in the 1954 beating death of his mother. Marilyn, at the family's suburban Cleveland home. The case helped inspire the PI_ .series "The Fugitive." The elder Sheppard was convicted of murder amid heavy negative publicity. and spent a decade in prison before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his conviction. He was acquilled at a retrial in 1966 and died of liver failure four years later. Sam Reese Sheppard is suing the state for his father's wrongful imprisonment and could stand to collect as much as $2 million if his father is l declared innocent. a stronger legal statement than the " not guilty" verdict rendered at Sheppard's second trial. The lawsuit is tied up in the Ohio Supreme Court. where justices are deciding on an effort by prosecutors to have the case thrown out. In the last nine years. the younger Sheppard has co-authored a book about the case. He and his investigative team also have been responsible for revealing new information about the slaying. For instance. the Sheppard team was the driving force behind having DNA tests performed on the doctor's ex~umed remains. which showed his generic material did nor match bloodstains from the crime scene. Sheppard said he believes !hose efforts have led people outside of Cleveland to conclude there was a miscarriage of justice in his father's Tri-County Briefs: .. sse owners attend retention workshop · lllor · Letters at state veterans plaza provide full effect INC.

Since 1924, when the Soviet people asked for a prolonged open entombment of Lenin so that they could all pay their respects, his embalmed Bolshevik body has lain in an open, glassencased coffin in Moscow's Red Square. For decades Joseph Stalin used the giant mausoleum 10 help build a cult of deifiCation around his predecessa's remains. That cult is still strong, and it appears to our best Russian intelligence sources that the only man brave enough to remove the mummy is not Yeltsin, but a mere mayor -- the popular chief executive of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov. · Yeltsin has made it clear that he wants to bury the body, and last fall he called for a national referendum to decide the issue. But he quickly backed off after harsh criticism from Communist Party officials. Although capitalism is taking root in Russia. Communists are still in control of the national legislature. the Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc. 825 Third A..., GaUipolls, Obio (614) 446-1342 lll Court SL, Pomm>J, Ohio (614) 992-2156 ROBERT 1..

Excerpts of recent editonals of statewide and nauonal1nterest from OhiO newspapers: The Columbus Dispatch, Aug. 16 Over 26 years. Rep. Chalmers Wylie said goodbye to Columbus many times as he traveled to the nation's capital to represent his central Ohio constituents. On Friday, he left for the last time. Wylie, 77, died while awaiting a rou. tine eye exam at Ohio State University Medical Center. But his death does not end his life's work, the results of wh1ch can be seen all over Columbus and central Ohio. One of his first.acts in Congress was to shepherd the federal funding that buill the Blackburn Recreation Center. He helped establish the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital at OSU. As ranking minority member of the House Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs Committee. he played an important role in the federal bailout of the savings and loan industry. . More than his tangible accomplishments, however, people wJII remember Wylie for the civil and gentlemanly way he conducted himself with friend and foe . It was a demeanor that served him and Columbus well, particularly since he was a member of the minority party in the House of Representatives throughout his career, retiring a year before the GOP finally won a majority there. , Of his public service, Wylie once said: "I find that being a congressman gives you an opportunity to do something for constituents and the community. You feel like you are a small part of something big." Wylie underestimated the size of his contribution.

Lenin's only surviving relative, Moller & niece Olga Ulyaoo- Anderson va, also wants to keep Uncle Vladimir in his oversized sarcophagus. So Yeltsin, fearing political and social upheaval, backed off his referendum. Lenin himself wanted to be cremated and buried next to his mother in a St. Petersburg cemetery, but Stalin would have none of it. He needed the cult-like worship of the more popular Lenin to help build his own support. The decision to display may have also have two other unusual roots: One was the discovery of King Tut about a year before Lenin died.

WASHINGION - A female reader from Detroit dares me to print the following analysis of I.: Affaire Lew;nsky: "I wish you would stop writing everything you hear on the news alx.ut Mr. Clinton. He's a very·smart man.The only mistake he made was allowing that woman to do oral sex on him, 37 rimes.'' Bill Oimon's defenders have been reduced to this. For months; they proCirumed their man's inoocence. They disc missed Young Monica as a sicko tramp. They savaged Kenneth Starr. And they were wrong. Monday evening, the leader of the fi'ee world appeared on national television and, in his own indirect and vacillating way, admitted getting at least partially naked with a lovesick 21 ·year-cld. He looked less like a cauldron of passions thar a Thssaud dummy. He never uttered the phnlses people want to hear: 'Tm sony" and "forgive me." He spoke in the flat cadences of a man who has come to IK:cept his own doom. His "confession'' lasted fOil" minutes. He spent halfhis time raJlting about Starr. Nobody expected this. BiD Ointon has a genill'l for appealing 10 people's better ll8lureS in order 10 exOOCtBte his ' - ' appecites. He knows how to 'eXaagerale his enemies' shortalmings and trivializc his own. One would think, listening to his speech, that adultery and sexual harassment were mere ttifles - on the otder of jaywalking on a deserted street at dawn. His backers, ·emulating his examSnow pie, can only change the subject: "So what~ It was consensual." "We need to get this behind us." "We must put an end to the politics of personal destruction." "It's a private matter." "Ken Starr made him do it." Thus, the Clinton administration, whicp arrived in Washington full of hubris, now bids to depart in humilialion.

U.S. officials suggest more strikes might come in the future. · "We must not allow sanctuary for terrorism - not for terrorists or for iheir money," Clinton said Saturday in· his weekly radio address. .: ~ He announced that on Thursday, :~ day of the U.S. air strikes. he :Signed an executive order blocking ·;)II financial tmnsactions between :~in Laden's organization and any U.S. indiv1dual or company. Clinton urged other nations to follow suit. : "It takes money- lots of it- to :build the network bin Laden has. We 'II do our best to see that he has fess of it, .. he said. : As for additional strikes, "That"s ~I ways a possibility." Defense Sec· r.etary William Cohen said Friday i)fter he briefed members of Congress 9n the strikes and the aftermath. · The briefings, in which Cohen was joined by Secretary of State ~adeleine Albright and CIA Direc· ror George Tenet, appeared to ease some earlier GOP concerns over Clinton's motivations and t1ming for the attacks. The president's actions drew a ringing endorsement Saturday from Sen. John McCain of Ariwna in the Republican Party's weekly radio address. "The president deserves our support for acting swiftly and decisively, " McCain said. "The military strikes he ordered against targets in Afghanistan and Sudan were appropriate. America's armed forces carried out their mission with skill and professionalism." But McCain criticized the handling of " many other threats to American security that have festered from thi s administration's negligence." He included North Korea's nuclear progmm, Iraq 's refusal to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors. ethnic cl.eansing in the Balkans and the stalled Middle East peace process. After the briefings Friday. Sen. Dan Coats. R-Ind., said, "There does appear to be credible eviQence to suggest that targeting an Osama bin Laden terrorist training site was nee· essary." He referred to the camp in Afghanistan that was attacked. and the alleged terrorist accused by the United States of involvement in the twin U.S. embassy bombings in Africa Aug. 7. Although most GOP leaders lined up with Clinton on Thursday. Coats Lewinsky testimony continues to leak out WASHINGTON (AP) - Last December, Monica Lewinsky told President Clinton she didn't want to \'!Stify in a sexual hara" ment lawsuit against the president. according to fegal sources familiar with their Secret gmnd jury testimony. : Clinton replied that a number of women were filing affidavits in the ~ase, the sources said Friday. Wit· Oesses often file affidavits to avoid undergoing questioning by attorneys in a deposition. The incident highlights the difficulties both Congress and Clinton likely face in dealing with the subject of possible obstruction of justice in the Lewinsky investigation. . Ms. Lewinsky ended up filing an affidavit in the Paula Jones hamss· . ment case denying she had a sexual relationship with Clinton. · . But there is no evidence the conversation she and the president had about the suggested affidavit involved any direction by him for her to. lie. . . Ms. Lewinsky told the grand jury that early in their relationship in late · !~5 or early 1996 the two had discussed concealment. but that such ~qnversation s had ended long before tlle onset of their possible testimony - ~the Jones case. • Other details of Clinton 's grand jury test imony leaked out Friday, i)lcluding the disclosure that last ·Bee. 28, a mere 3- 1/2 weeks before ih.e uproar over the relationship 6egan, the president gave the former .,Zhite House intern up to a half. dOzen small gifts. They included an A.la~kan stone carving of a bear. a Olrow rug or blanket, a decorative ·pin. a box of chocolates. joke sun- glasses and a bag from the Black Dog store at Martha's Vineyard, Mass .. where the Clintons have vacationed for three years. In his grand jury testimony, Clinton itemized the first three gifts, and under questioning by prosecutors acknowledged he may have given the last three. This presidential largesse came in a 15- to 20-minute Sunday morning meeting that probably took place in the Oval Office, the sources said. But only a few weeks later, on Jan. 17, Clinton said during the Jones deposition only that he "could have given her a gift. but I don't remember a specific gift." He also answered, " I don 't recall," when asked whether he ever had been alone , in the Oval Office with Ms. Lewin· sky. He made no reference to their Dec. 28 meeting and said that Ms. Lewinsky stopped by the White House before Christmas to see the president's personal secretary, Betty Currie. In this week's grand jury testimo- r ny, Clinton testified the items were going-away presents. the sources said. Ms. Lewinsky was planning to go to New York to take a job that presidential friend Vernon Jordan was trying to secure. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr has been investigating whether the subsequent retrieval by Currie of a number of gifts Clinton had given Ms. Lewinsky amounted to obstruction of justice by the president. Clinton supporters argue that his late-December gift-giving shows he was not concerned about whether Ms. Lewinsky ./tad presents from him or not. .

The Cincinnati Reds were finding out what it' s like to have Beanie Babies day. " Madness," the policeman mumbled. Baseball has another term for the scene that has played out at ball parks this summer: a godsend. The stuffed critters have become a powerful tool for teams trying to win younger fans and make a few more bucks. Beanie Babies have pulled in some of the largest crowds -only Mark McGwire rivals them in sustained drawing power- and created a sports promotion craze. Kids and parents camp out to make sure they 'll gel a place in line. Collectors snatch 'em up along with the valuable commemorative cards. Players get grumpy if they don't get one. It's been that way all across the country. and this summer might he just the beginning. Short of MeG wire hitting balls into seals . there's nothing that fi11S$~ts like Beanies.

He picked up one of the stuffed animals named Cubbie and got an idea. · He approached Ty, which had done only one promotional tie-i n, with McDonald's. The company was initially hesitant, then went along because the promotion was aimed at children. "There's such a high collectable market for the product that sometimes children don't get Beanie Babies," Tomnitz said. "We wanted to have a way for them to be targeted specifically." When the Cubs announced two Cubbie giveaways last season, the games sold out fast. A standingroom-only crowd of 37.958 turned out on May 18, 1997, to get 10.000 Beanies and start a trend. Kids and collectors were headed to ballparks. "To me, the beauty of it is that it's giving kids -kind of a baseball baptism," McDonough said. " It if helps them .ignitc an interest in base· ball. if it's their first experience and the Beanie Babies arc kind or the linchpin to do thai, great."

Ro~ghly two dozen major league teams will give away Beanies this season.

' AP Sports Writer ' · · 'l < · College football'ls g:'JI. ~ - ' "y's world. Instead of players ng ~ e line after winning a national championship, lb'lll(ilfl the mantra for teams, starting on the first day ofpraciice. · Walt Disney Co.'s ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 netwm:ks have the rights to the top resular season schedule and 18 of 22 bowl games, including the four-game Bowl Championship Series' that almost guarantees a national championship game. Instead of profiting off families visiting its theme parks, Disney will pocket money off a sweetheart deal negotiated with the college commissionen. In an era where major sports properties are usually loss leaders for networks, ABC is almost guaranteed to malce money on iu S,S2S million, seven-year deal. .. The key to the deal's ·profitability is that for the first time, the broadcasting network; not the bowls themselves, retains the marketing rights to the games. The deals by Tostitos, Nokia, F:edEx and AT&T to be title sponsors of the Fiesta, Sugar, Orange and Rose bowls could be worth as much as $200 million to ABC, according to people who negotiated the deal. "We recognize that the market place is changing and advenisers are getting away from scatttr buys and are looking for blue..:hip events," said Litner, ABC Sports senior vice president of pro8I)II!UIIing. "The.way to do that is to comer the marketing riglus to each and all of these bowls. That's what we t:realed. We wanted · to !)lab this far more than a traditional media buy." That Disney was able to secure that type of pacbae without breaking the bank is a remarkable mix of · shrewd negotiating and the competing interests of 1he Ion t conference commissioners. The last attempt at a national championship game failed as the Big Ten and Pac-10 champions were still committed to the Rose Bowl, leading to the shared title between Michigan and Nebraska last season. So while the other conferences wanted the Rose Bowl to be part of the alli\lllCe and the Big Ten and Pac10 wanted to avoid a playoff, ABC went 10 work, securing the strongest bowl package in history. In May 1996, ABC struck a deal with the Rose Bowl, cndinc the fi~ade tie-in between the game and the Big Ten and Pac-10 champions. ABC was able to reach the deal by au-nteeinJ those two conferences the ~~~~~e ·foowi payout u the other major conferences ipd that there would buo playoff for seven years without their ccinsent. With the Roie Bowl WUIIICt Itt hlllltl, AB(l. went to · ' the other conferences and negotiated Ihe rest of the Bowl Championship Series deal. If the commissioners · \.\•anted a true national championship game, ABC was the only network that could guarantee the involvement of the Big Ten and Pac-10. " Everyone wanted this to happen and they needed ihe Rose Bowl for it to work," Litner said. " We certainly had the leverage." . That leverage eliminated potential bids from CBS, Fox and NBC, 8Dd lowered the rights fees for the premium bowl package by as much as $200 million over the seven years. "This will probably be one of the few sports franchisees that could show a profit," said Ron Frederick a media buyer at J. Walter ThOmpson advertising ag~y.

The past two sea<;Ons have seen the Redmen eliminated from Great Lakes Region play in the semi-linals and finals, respectively. Head coach Scon Morrissey hopes the 1998 edition of the Redmen can clear tbat final ollstacle. "We have had excellent teams ol'er lhe pa>t two seasons and have made gond runs at the national tournament." said Morrissey. "With the addition of some solid players in key positions. I think this year's team can reach that next level. I'm very positive about this squad." Morrissey, now entering his lenth season. has every right to be positive since he welcomes back eight of II starters from last season's squad which finished 16-6-1 and capiUred its second straight conference tournament title. The veteran coach is on the verge of a personal milestone, needing just nine more victories to reach I00 in his career. His record is currently 91-71 -9. Leading the stable of returning players are high scoring slriker Simon Lowey and rock solid defender Steve Crone. bolh of whom are seniors. Lowey IS Rio Grande's alllime leading scorer with 67 goals and 36 assists. gond for 170 points. The rugged Crone played every minute of every match in 1997 and anchored a defense that posted a school record I0 shutouts. Other 'tarters back this season include goalkeeper Heath Maxon ( 1.14 goals against average), who set a Rio record with eight shutouts in '97. He's joined lly defenders Collin Phillips (I goal & I assist). Steve Ramsdale (]goals & 10 assists) and Kevin Peacock (I goal & 5 assists). Senior Phil Ribeiro. a reserve player for the pa'l three sea<011s. is also back in the fold. Center midfielder Kel'in Reynald (4 goals & 3 assists) is back to anchor the middle once again. The forward line will be strong again with the return of Matt Ogden ( 17 goals & 4 assists) and Ainsley Noel (7 goals & 6 assists!. New players who will make an impact right away include midfidde" Gareth Murray and Marty Rodgers. both of whom hail from Nonhero Ireland. Englishmen Carl Nolan. a forward. and Jimmy King. a left-sided defender. will also vie for starting positions. Other impact players inc! ude Steve Okumu and Denis Namwaya from Kenya. Both come highly touted lly the scouts with high level credentials. . · The rest of the freshman class includes Terry Amburgey from Cincinnati, Ohio. Aleksander Lund from Norway via Lancaster.

With a vtctory thts Salurday at Bristol, Tenn., Gordon will surpass NASCAR greats Calc Yarborough, Darrel Waltnp, Dale Earnhardt, Harry Gant, Bill Elliott and Mark Manin in lhe record books. This 27-ycar-Qid driver for lhe Hendrick Motorsports team has become the biggest star in the racing world. It is important to undersland, however, !hat his success has gone beyond NASCAR. Gordon has become a new sports icon for the '90s. . Gordon has 37 victories wilh 11 races remaining in his sixth season. Richard Petty, NASCAR 's all-time victory leader with over 200 wins, won 40 races at the end of his sixlh year. Gordon has already won eight limes this season. He's on the palh to win his third WJDSion Cup Iitle in four years. To be honest, I can't remember lhe last time he fmished lower !han a lhird in a race. With his victory in the Pepsi 400 in Michigan last week, !here are only three !racks on lhe Winston Cup circuit where Gordon hasn't won during his short career. His performance has been remarkable. What is difficuh for me to understand is why Gordon keeps getting booed by NASCAR fans for winning. I have asked a variely of fans and have received a plelhora of excuses for !heir dislike of Gordon. One popular view is that Gordon is a whiner. Another, more revealing reason, is thai Gordon isn't Dale Earnhardt. This excuse is similar 10 the reaSOilS fans heaped abuse on Roger Maris and Hank Aaron for breaking Babe Ruth's home run records. These fans cherished Babe's records, and lhese players weren't lhe Babe. I guess my favorite reason for why fans dislike Gordon is the excuse that Gordon's team has superior financial resources. Apparently !hey have more money !han any other team on the Winston Cup circuit. Consequently, Gor- · don wins, not because he's a skilled driver, but only because the Hendrick's team buys their victories. But if this is lrue, why ar~n 'I other members of lhe Hendrick's team winning races with lhe same propensity as Gordon? It seems fans just don 't wanl to acknowledge his raleniS or give him credit. For some NASCAR fans, Gordon has become the driver they love to hate. Personally, I hope he's successful at Bristol. I like to see records broken. His win would also aggravate all those boo-birds who know he's moved another step closer to his second consecutive title. who lives In Gallipolis.

I was in a perfect hou'sc the other day that didn't even have anything on the refrigerator door. Not a dental appointment card . Not a photo. Not a magnet. The sleek kitchen counters were bare, too. No keys. No sun· glasses. No unpaid telephone hill tucked on the shelf over the sink. I grew up in a house filled with stuff. That's probably why lthmk there's something comforting about having it around. (In defense of mothers everywhere. the presence of stuff docs not mean the house is dirty. Stuff is just cluucr.

Some kinds of stepfamilies arc better than others at fostering healthy adjustment for youngsters, says James Bray of Baylor College of Medicine, Houston . Overall. though , seemingly happy new fami lies formed when kids are 5 to 7 years old will often "boomerang" as children hit adolescence, he told the American Psychological Associa· tion meeting here . · Bray 's seven-year study matched 90 stepfather famtlies with 90 nuclear families of similar socioeconomic status and children the same age. He found three distinct types of stepfamilies: - NeotraditionaL The couple is family oriented and tends to manage the household as partners. MatriarchaL The couple remarries primarily to be with each other. Mom wants full charge of the kids. and her new husband doesn't want to parent them . - Romantic . "High hopes but very unrealistic expectations." Bray says. Both partners exrcct instant love between stepdad and kids and believe that it will be just like a nuclear family. Neotraditional couples were the least likely to divorce in the seven· year period. and their kids tended to fare best. Matriarchal worked sec· ond best, but problems arose if step· dads later decided they wanted to parent. or moms realized they want· ed help after all. Romantic partners typically either split up or evolved into one of •• • •• • • • • • •• I •• ~-, ,.: the other two types, Bray says. Seven years after the step-mar· riages stancd. checklists given to moms, dads and kids in the surviving marriages show 20 percent of youngsters were either acting out aggressively or had serious mental health problems. Only I0 percent showed such problems in the nuclear families, Bray says. Often, after years of seemingly fine adjustment to stcpfamilics, "children suddenly erupt," Bray says. "One of the ways adolescents define who they arc is by bouncing off their parents, and they need somebody to bounce off." They may foment tension with stepdads and/or seek closer ties with their biological fathers - in the study, 20 percent went to live with their dads. This can disrupt families and harm marriages, Bray says. Other studies show that when kids have good relations with step· parents they are better adjusted than those raised in single~parent homes. However, it's a double-edged sword: Kids in conflict with stepparents tend to do worse than those in oneparent homes, Bray says. These findings shouldn't unduly scare couples and stepfamilies, says University of Minnesota psychologist Pauline Boss. Teens can flourish "when steppare"ts don't pretend the biological pare;.l isn 't in the picture" and. when they reassure the child that it's fine to love that parent, she says. "But make it clear stepparents are in charge at home." Such "flexible boundaries" make adolescent identity crises and rebellion much less likely. she says.

"Here on the banks of the Ohio River at Swan Creclc. did part company two famous scouts and fighters, Daniel Boone and Thomas Hannan.'' Boone moved funher west. Thomas Hannan, as a just a young teenager, carne to the mouth of the Kanawha River at what is now Pt. Pleasant aitd joined the forces of General Lewis. He fought at the Battle of Pt. Pleasant and remained at Ft. Randolph after the battle. Later in the Revolutionary War, Hannan is found acting in the secret service near Hampton Roads, Virginia. Following the Revolution. Hannan brought his family to live in the fon at Pt. Pleasant, where Hannan served as scout and hunter. Here he became a friend of Daniel Boone and they in company with Roben Safford, James Burford, Andrew Friend, Vanbibber and ot~­ ers hunted game and trapped on Raccoon Creek and other streams. From about 1785 to 1795 or so Daniel Boone operated a trading post at Pt Pleasant. ~f:e In 1800 Thomas Hannan marked ·out with his ax a trail leading west ·from the Ohio River at Swan Creek in Gallia County to Chillicothe and leading east toward mouth of the Coal River in what was then Virginia (now St. Albans, West Virginia). Wrote C.M. Blake ofthis trail : "Here once creaked the oxcan behind slow moving cattle teams. · · here rumbled the covered wagon, loaded with an emigrant family and their sole possessions ." "Here once thundered the fleet : hoofs of the single mount, with reins guided by the unerring hands of · famous scouts and Indoan fighters as they formed the van, rear. and flank guards of the wagon trains with their cargoes of women and children. their faces set to a new home in the In the spring of 1786 Hannan moved to Greenbottom, nearly opposite the mouth of Swan Creek. lbere with the help of four men (two white- and two black) Hannan planted a field of com and built a log cabin. That fall Hannan moved his family there and they along with Hannan's hired workers ground the com with a tin grater. The Hannan settlement was the only one on that side of the river between Pt. Pleasant and Greenup, Kentucky. While Hannan was never bothered by the Indians, many of the settlers who had come to live on the Ohio River in the late 1780's and early 1790's suffered greatly at the hands of the Indians. In fact the time frame from 1790 to 1795 is referred to as the Indian Wars. Settlement back to Ohio came in earnest beginning in the late 1790's. It was then that Hannan began making plans to blaze a trail. In 1802 Hannan constructed a ferryboat to carry wagons and so fonh across the Ohio River from the upper end of the Greenbottom, Vir- ginia to Swan Creek in Gallia County. Hannan operated this ferry until 1832 when he turned it over to his son Henry Hannan, the later having located at Swan Creek in 1819. Following Henry's death in 1852, the ferry franchise went to Dr. William Franklin Hannan. Sometime in the 1880's the ferry came into the hands of Dr. Conrad Phister. lbere continued to be a f~rry at Swan Creek until about the WWI era. From the. Ohio River the Hannan Trace went across a giant flood plain before winding its way up the Hannan hill and then along a sky line ridge for nearly seven miles. It then descended into the Indian Guyan Valley to Mercerville. C.M. Blake wrote of what it must have been like to ascend up the Hannan hill to what was called Inspiration Point and stand ncar where today is located the Big Four Church. "At this place a long dental with a high sky line juts out from the plateau and affords an indescribable valley view.

For Buying My Champion Tobacco Then there's Wesley Snipes, who walks into an inter:' view wearing a facsimile of his character's costume in :·his new movie, "Blade" : shades, black quilted jacket, · black pants and boots - and, oh yes, the bulletproof black Ktvlar vest, complete with a row of horizontal ·holsters for vampire-slaying silver ·Spikes. The only . things missing are the leather lrenchcoat and the inlri: cately cut and tattooed high-top fade haircut. . "There are vampires ever.ywhere," Snipes says mys, leriously, by way of explaining his attire. "You never know when you're going to have to go to work." Does that mean Snipes believes in vampires? "Yes," he says without hesitation. "I've met some. In offices, in clubs, in the back of taxis in New York City. · Mostly they asked for my autograph." Snipes growls these words out in throaty gutturals, the same voice he uses to play the vampire-hunting comic-book hero in "Blade:" But Snipes, who also served as the film's producer, shifts gradually into his own mellitluous baritone as be talks about making the movie - though the sunglasses never do come off. "Fun? It was a lot of fun," he says. "I was getting the opportunity to play a heavy in something edgy, a chance to use more of my martial-arts training than in any character I've played and the chance to play a super-hero who is black. I don 'I think it gets any better than that.'' The fact that Snipes served as producer and star, essentially the boss in every way that counted, also provides a source of pleasure for Snipes, who had input on everything from how the action scenes were choreographed before filming to how they were edited in postproduction. "I don't think New Line (the company that financed the film) expected it to have the depth or range that this film has," Snipes says. "It's visually beautiful, but it has a story you can follow, along with good acting and awe- some action scenes." At heart, however, "Blade" is about vampires, a subject Snipes seems enamored of. A lot of people, he points out, want to be vampires, "to have that superhuman strength or maybe just to be different. "Vampires have their own rules, " he says. "They're iconoclastic and do their own thing. They live in a world they've created for themselves and they can live forever. " But then, I accept anybody who is true to their own nature. I gravitate to people who are real." Peter Frankfurt, another producer on " Blade," says, "Wesley brought a deep-core understanding of this character to the film, in terms of who he is, the weapons he would use, his outfit, his car. They were all put together with Wesley very much involved. And he was way into the choreography of the fights." As proud as Snipes is of his manial-ans prowess (he studies three separate disciplines, including Shaolin kung-fu), he takes even greater pride in his acting- and his ability to move from an action-adventure like o+~ $221.93 ~~ $1179.

" Then we can groom new talent and replenish the resource pool." Open, honest Tori Amos charting her own musical path By RAND OTTEN Poughkeepsie Journal Talk to Tori Amos about anything, just not Ulith Fair. Thanks to a new album "from the choirgirl hotel "new ma;,iage to British sound englneer Mark Hawley and new hobby (speed boat racing) Amos has more to say and sing about than ever. "She always tells the truth in her music and she doesn't shy away ·from the toughest issues," says Theda Sandiford-Waller Billboard Hot 100 chans editor. '"She's not about a corny hook and a happy song. She doesn't sugar coat the issues,andthat'sherappeal." Even Amos' miscarriage is wide open for discussion. As always, Amos gives her all, with explicit details, holding nothing back. "Non-motherhood reallv chane.ed everything, how the universe works, everything. It was a shock to us ... really one of those things where the days seemed like yelllS." While commercial radio stations continue to ignore the honesty and humanity of Amos' music, she conlinues to work well in underground and Internet circles, sc:mn~ ~!bums at record pace ("choirgul" JS JUSt the latest album to go gold with more than 500,000 albums sol_d) and selling out arenas like Madtson Square Garden.

On her own .is exactly the Amos style that got her notic:ro m the first place. A child piano prodigy who was composmg by age four, Amos traded in her classical roots for a unique pop sound . that began with her Atlantic Re~o~ds debut, ."Little Eanhquakes, m 1991. Usmg the piano and ha~ichord to accompany her ltfe-reveahng Iynes, the North Carolina native has hit the music world hard. Her latest album is no exception . The lyrics scream of pain and heartae~e. such as "she's convinced she could hold back a glacier... but she couldn't keep Baby alive," from her first single, " Spark." Or, " then the baby came before I found the magic how to keep her happy" from "Playboy Mommy." "This is called 'grief work' using words or art or music to process your feelings," says Roberta Ternes, a gnef and bereavement specialist and a member of .'h~ American Psychologocal Assocoatton. "A miscarriage is the most profound loss, not only of human life, but of the parents' hope.s and dreams. Any emouon contamed JS an explosion waiting to happen. So son gong about the loss lets ot out and makes it a shared experience." . For Amos, tappong tnto her emoloons and recordong thos album gave her a new sense of peace . "This album is really a place where I appreciated life. The album ts ~?t depressong to me, " she says. Every human has to have a depth of cxpenencc to get wosdom .

With Me." Uke John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever" and Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing," Chayanne (who regularly tops the Latin music charts as a singtll') has the hunky look and chiseled physique that set female heans aflutter. But, despite the film's title and its focus on dance as a form of sensual self-expression, Chayanne never really gets to kick up his heels in star-making fashion in this Randa Haines film . Oh, he does a couple of salsa steps and teams up with both Vanessa Williams lind Jane Krakowski for duets. But the one with Williams never allows him to strut his stuff. And the one with Krakowski has too much mock-ballet pretension to ignite any sparks . Without that dancing, what we're left with in "Dance With Me" is a well-worn set of dancestudio-based plots, along with one melodramatic story line that's too obvious from beginning to end. For a movie about dance, this film misses a few steps. "Dance With Me" calls to mind the much better Japanese film, "Shall We Dance?", with its story about people who make discoveries about themselves when they release their inhibitions on the dance floor. Instead of a reticent Japanese businessman, however, lhe central character is a Cuban emigre named Rafael Infante (Chayanne), who takes a job as the handyman at a Houston dance studio and winds up as the catalyst for change in everyone else's life. Rafael is hired by the studio's owner, John Burnett (Kris Kristofferson ), who had a connection to Rafael's mother that's not particularly hard to figure out. Once on the premises, Rafael finds himself bemused by the careful choreography being practiced by the school's teachers. "The music tells you what to do," he declares to Ruby (Vanessa Williams), the school's star teacher, a former national champion in Latin dance who is about to attempt a comeback. Much of writer Daryl Matthews' script deals with the hidden relationship between Rafael and Burnett; the rest concentrates on growing romantic possibilities between Rafael and single-mother Ruby, ·who has been burned once too often to follow her passion. Neither offers any revelations, though Haines gives depth to potentially mawkish scenes. The rest is dancing, photographed in such a fragmented way by cinematographer Fred Murphy that there is no continuity or flow to the movements. T09 many dance scenes are shot on crowded dance floors, where no one dancer's work ever has the time or space to develop into something memorable. Still, Chayanne has a likable sincerity as Rafael, while Vanessa Williams brings a steelspined vulnerability to Ruby. Kristofferson, his face surprisingly weathered, captures the remoteness of a man who only engages as much as required with other people. Though it features an ear-catching soundtrack of Latin music, "Dance With Me" doesn't keep step with the tunes that propel it. Rated PG, profanity, adult themes.

"Happy Days" was a goofy look at 1950s adolescence. The new Fox sitcom, "That '70s Show," is a sweetly goofy lake on life for a bunch of suburban teen-age buddies in that bell-bottom, smiley-(aoe era. It's also a bit subversive, which, given its roots, is not surprisin!l: The series was created by Bonme and Terry Turner, the couple whose credits include "3rd Rock from the Sun " and Mark Brazill, who has . w'ritten for comedian Dennis Miller and "In Living cOlor." .

His best friend and budding love interest is next-door neighbor Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon, possessed of a sultry voice and look well beyond her 17 years), who lives with would-be hipster parents Bob and Midge (Don Stark and Tanya Roberts). They and their pals, including foreign exchange student Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) and hunky but dim Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), are outside the "in" crowd but not entirely uncool. Eric's quest for the independence of car ownership and a forbidden trip to a Todd Rundgren concert are pan nf the first episode, which also indulges in giddy between-scene cartoons a Ia "3rd Rock "'s bouncing planets. The two sitcoms share more than graphics. "3rd Rock" views human foibles from the vantage point of alien visitors; "That '70s Show" uses the elapsed decades to provide perspective on our behavior, which changes in style but not in substance. So says Bonnie ·Turner, who believes that coming-of-age experi ences tend to be similar even if one generation dances to disco and another to neo-swing. She said that when they wrote the film "Wayne's World," she and her husband discovered that despite theit being 15 years older than its star, Mike Myers, "it was stunning to him and stunning to us how little the essentials of life, the essentials of being young, have not changed. "There is always awKwardness, there is always a stronger taste in music, Ms. Turner said. "Hanging out at the airport was something we all had in common." But why set this particular tale of adolescence in the '70s, specifically 1976? Granted, the clothing alone is good for cheap laughs. But Ms. Turner says there were other, more philosophical inducements. I She recalls finding irony in the splashy celebrations of the nation's 200th birthday in 1976. "By the time we got to the bicen- tennial, there were students killed at Kent State, a president assassinated, a c1vil rights leader and candidate for president assassinated, a forced resignation from the White House - and the man who oversaw the festivities was not elected," Ms. Turner said. All of this turmoil seemed to end with a thud in the mid-19705, a peri od she says is often defined by what didn 't happen rather than by what did. But if society had grown stagnant, people hadn't.

The I S43 daguerreotype is absent the future president's recognizable features: the trademark stovepipe hat, his scragg ily beard and the Great Emancipator's sharp profile. Whoever the man is, he bears a striking resemblance to Lincoln . Doubters argue the physical characteristics are all wrong, from the ears to a sharp nose that don't match known ponraits of the 16th presi- was her firs l year no t se rving on the board . S he had ea rli er chosen dent. Defenders say sc ientific Jests not to run again . However, habit had Addalou popping in at the fair frequently and last Saturday she eve n pitched in to help set up the domestic arts display. Her husband . Bob. has been having some health problems but is doing bcucr. He was. well enough just recently to board the Missi ssippi Queen with Addalou for a river cruise and Wednesday ni ght he was ahlc to get to the laor and walk the midway. prove the daguerreotype - a mirror-image photograph produced on si lver or copper - is one of the earlies! pictures ever taken of the futurt! president. "We think we know what Li ncoln looked like in the last 15 years of his life. But this could change all of that, " said Rick Wester, director of photography at Christie's auction house. "In order for people to accept this as Lincoln, they have to confront ... this idea that we know what By Bob Hoeflich Another beautiful day for the annual Meigs County Fair Friday. The weather cooperated very well with this year's event- just one liule shower had taken place through Friday. I can remember some years when the local fair has undergone very raony day s and nights . And I do go way back with the fairsback to the era of the late Clarence Heaton- and that 's been a while . Roy Holter's grandchildren certainly came in handy Thursday and received some good training to boot. Six of them were showing the Holter Holstein cat tle in the open class judging takong place on the show ring . Roy collected quite a pile of ribbons during the show. The Big Bend Farm Antiques Club held a ceremony during the fair to present Cun Banre\1 a fann tractor design cl oc k-plaque in memory of the late Don Banrell who died in May. The gesture was 10 recog nize Don for his loyal support of the club's activities over many years. Bob Jewell made the presentation preceding the antique tractor pull at the fair. Lena Hewitt of Columbus was doing her bit on the gate.s at the Meigs County on Thursday and Friday. A sister-on-law of Jean Alkire, Rac ine, Lena got Lena involved in being a volunteer to work with members of the Racine Area Community Organization. It does, indeed, take many hands. Lena, by the way, is the fonner Lena Alkire of the Harrisonville area. cated photograph of Lincoln also came from the Hay Wadsworth Estate in the late 1960s. In 1994, the portrait was copyrightCd as "The Young Lincoln ." Since then, it has been under intense scrutiny. Leading the skeptics is •-loyd Ostendorf of Dayton, Ohio. •he coauthor of "Lincoln in Photo~raphs" and a renowned expert. '· -·.nyone who buys it will pay a lor of money for a fake," he said. Ostendorf said the physocal features of the man in the picture were vastly different than Lincoln, pointing specifically to the ears , nose, shoulders and eyes. Look at the hands - actually, the veins in the hands, said Ral ph Leonard, . a medical professor at Wake Forest University. The vein patterns of the man in the portrait did not match a cast of Lincoln's hands made in May 1860, he said. " Nobody's vein pattern is the same from person to person. I can prove anatomically that it's not Lincoln with ... the vein pattern," he said. Other researchers conclude the portrait is authentic Lincoln. Using a computer program he developed, Lewis Sadler of the Uni· versity of Illinois at Chicago compared the faces of 300 white men, Underwater kiss almost took their breath away COOKEVILLE, Tenn . (API Tommy and Linda Ma~well - gasp - had a tough time kissing- gasp - when they renewed their wedding vows this month. After all, they were underwater. So the kiss meant taking off their oxygen regulators, kissing, then gasp- popping the regulators back m. All kinds of "down home" activities were a part of the fair. Among these was a hog calling contest sponsored by Vaughan's Supennarket, Middleport. The contest had like 20 entries with Ma~ine Rose being named first place winner. Second place went to Carson Yost and third to Tara Jewell . Vaughan 's provided prizes. And there was a milking contest with two milk cows being brought in for usc by the contestants. The contestants used boules instead of·buckets during the timed event and winners were Cheyenne Beaver in the pre -school group; Seth Calaway in the junior division , and Don Beaumier in the adult competition. · The contest was a part of the new games program inaugurated at the fair and sponsors were the Pomeroy-Racine and the Shade River Masonic Lodges. Lincoln looks like." Some of the 20th century's most powerful tools have been employed in the evaluation: computer imaging and forensic science, along with hours spent poring over historical documents. The 'Jisputed photograph will go orr the auction block in October at Christie's in New York . It is expected to fetc h at least $200,000, and possibly up to SI million . The sale is advcnised as " Portrait of a Gentleman, Believed to be Abraham Lincoln." " It's awfully hard to figure out how one is going to say definittvely that it is or it isn't Lincoln . In the end, it will be a marketplace decision, " said Harold Holzer, the author of 12 books on Lincoln and the Civil War. Lincoln collectors Robert and Joan Hofftnan, of Piusford, N.Y., bought the picture in 1992 for an undi sc lo sed amounl from an antiques dealer who got it from the Wadsworth family, descendants of John Milton Hay - assistant secretary to Lincoln. Such a lineage is ammunition for those who contend the photo, believed to have captured Lincoln when -he was a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, is genuine.

In other words. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." Mutuil funds are an important vehicle that helps people diversify their investments. Mutual funds allow people with similar financial goals to pool their resources to get better professional management and greater diversification than they could as individual investors. Mutual funds let you invest in more securities than you could probably purchase on your own. If you buy just one or two stocks or bonds, you're placing all your faith in just one or two companies. It' s better to spread your risk by buying stock in a wide variety of companies, but few individuals can afford to do that Investing in a single share of a common stock mutual fund, however. provides panial ownership in dozens of companies -- often a hundred or more . Some mutual funds even reach beyond the borders of the U. S. to include global opportunities. Mutual funds offer various investment objectives.

' Or what their carca\s data may show? Without knowledge of feeder calf performance. the success of your genetic decisions remains a mystery, We are moving towards a valuebased market in the beef industry. As this system evolves. more and more producers will be rewarded for the c"arcass merit of their products instead of through the more traditional pricing systems. To be competitive. cowcalf producers will have to make !)reeding decisions ba!ied on sound genetics. learn the outcome of their decisions, and then use that information to improve their product The Farm to Fork program. organized by Ohio State University Beef Team is designed to help producers develop that baseline performance in their feeder calves. Calves entered into the program will go to the participating feedlot. and producers will be provided with information such as: on test. intermediate. and off test weights and frame score~. average daily gain, hot carcass weight. quality grdde. yield grade. riheye area. KPH fat fat thickness. m:ubling. car: cil.'!.' price. feed consumption, feed cost, total cost. and profit and loss to the cattle owner. Access to this information will help producers make valuable decisions about their breeding progrdms. In 1997 the average CO!II of ~tain in this pro11ram is .4735 cents per pound. which was.compelitive with western feedlol<. Farm to Fork canlc will be delivcreel to a feedlot near Springfield, and custom fed in South Charleston. and should weigh between 500 and 700 pounds by the November delivery date. Health and management practices must conform to the "Buckeye's Best" requirements . This means that calves must be vaccinated. weaned, castrated, dehorned. and treated for grubs. lice and intestinal parasites. Calves must also be owned by the producer for 60 days prior to the nomination deadline. The finances of this project are closely monitored and producers are provided a detailed record of expenses. The September 12, 1998 deadline to enter canle in the program is fast approaching. Data and other details from last year's project involving 95 head of canle are available at the Extension office. This information may assist you in your decision to enter cattle into the program. If you have questions or are interested in receiving a brochure about the program, please call the OSU Extension office at 446-7007. ...,.....i think your objectives are the same as everyone else:' s to make money. But snme people •:tant to make it gradually and are unwilling to put up with signiftcant bumps CaldMII along the way. Others are willing to accept fluctuations in hopes of greater returns for the risk they undertake. Mutual funds invest in different types of securities to help meet many specific objectives. · Mutual funds provide you ·With active portfolio management by experienced professionals. Managing investments requires a commitment of time, resources and expertise that most individuals don't have. A mutual fund's investment adviser determines Which securities should be bought or sold to best serve the fund's objectives. These decisions are based on extensive. ongoing research. We talked about the importance of diversification as a technique in reducing risk. That's especially important when it comes to your retirement assc:l5. Mutual funds help by divenifying ,ll!long companies in many different industries (and sometimes in different countries, as well). But you can diversify even funher by com\)jning several funds in your retirement pootfolio. 'There are several common types of mutual funds. Th:y range from most aggressive (greater level of risk/greatest opportunity for reward) to most conservative (lower level of risk/lower opportunity for reward). As you try to arrive at the right combination of investments for your particular needs, there are some key questions to consider. When do you want to retire? The younger you are, the more time you have to ride out ups and downs in the markeu. So you're in a good position . to take advantage of growth~oriented stock investments. 1llC closer you are to retirement. the more you'll probably want to preserve the assets you've accumulated over the years and the less inclined you'll ·be to take much risk with the dollars you've amassed. (However, don't forget that inflation doesn't stop working just because you do. Today: Hazy High: 901; Low: 601 You may want to consider some growth-oriented investments even as you ncar retirement.) · How much money will you need when you retire? That will depend on how much money you make now (and how much you expect to make just before you retire), what kind of lifestyle you have now and what kind of lifestyle you want to have while retired. Will you have any additional retirement assets? Do 'you have pension or any other type of retirement plan ·money set aside? Do you have savings or investments that you plan to use to support yourself during retirement? Does your spouse have money set aside in a retirement account? Once you consider questions like these, you can begin to construct a well-diversified retirement portfolio.

It's something everybody talks about. Whether it"s gening <tuck in traffic. a toght deadline. or the nu going around on ~our kid's kindergarten class. it all gets labeled as stress. . Generally. we assocoale stress ahead negative situations - work overload. family or personal crises. demanding bosses and the like. And we associate it with a mixture of unpleasant emotions - anger. frustration. an~iety. resentment and so on. Instead of always seeing stress as p..essure or tension. it may be more appropriate to think of it as "a push" :vising from a situation that calls for "' to take an action. It can have an Olfect similar to adrenalin, which prepares our bodies for action in times of excitement or danger. Viewed from this perspective, stress can have effects that are somclimes bencf~eial, and sometimes deslnlctive. When stress acts as J motivator. it may seem welcome.
