funding plan targeted at rally
COLUMBUS (AP) - The leader
of the coalition that has forced a
change in Ohio's school-funding system says he is concerned because
lawmakers have not come up with an
education reform plan yet.
· : On Wednesday, educators marked
the six-month anniversary of the
Ohio Supreme Coun decision that the
Legislature reform school funding by
holding a rally and demanding lawmakers to take action. About 50 peopie marched to the Statehouse after
meeting at the nearby Palace Theatre.
Bill Phillis, executive director of
the Ohio Coalition for Equity and
Adequacy of School Funding. said
after the rally that lawmakers have
had "no serious deliberation" on how
to reform schoo.l funding. The Legisl'ature has another six months to
develop a plan.

Congress wrestles
with increasing pay .
without punishment
By WALTER A. MEARS
WASHINGTON - Congress has been trying to figure out how to raise
its pay without political punishment since the first increase in history
prompted a voter revolt. It's been 181 years, but the quandary persists.
Witness the latest attempt at an increase, a 2.3 percent oost-of-living raise
bustled through the House as part of an appropriations bill that does not
mention a oongressional pay raise.
The $3,072.80 annual increase takes effect unless Congress acts to forgo
it, as the. ~nate did earlier and as the House had for the past five years.
House cn_llcs of the pay boost say they plan to contest it now, although
nobody dtd when the bill was passed last week without any discussion of
oongressional pay.
Leaders in both parties worked it out that way, avoiding a direct vote on
pey. House Speaker Newt Gingrich favored the increase. "But I think it has
to ~ done out in the open, in public, and people have to see the vote if it's
gomg to happen," he said in an ABC interview just days before arranging to
have it done quicldy and quietly.
1_'he Senate put a congressional pay freeze into its version of the bill, and
the ISSUe willllave to be seUled when the House and Senate negotiate and
vote on final terms.
That means debates, attempts to undo the raise and campaign fodder for
candidates readying 1998 challenges for House and Senate seats. For an outsider, a congressional pay raise is a ready-made issue.
Hence the !"pealed efforts to keep it low-profile, which· haven't worked.
Too many whtstle blowers are inside Congress, often with campaign agendas of their own.
More tban a few House Republicans got there by mMing against the
ways of Congress, iocluding its past pay-raise maneuvers. Having used that
trap, they are wary of falling into it, in campaigns for re-election or for other

porters say no. But investigations by the Orange County district attorney, the California secretary of state and
a House oversight committee point in the opposite
direction.
.
Indeed, a month after Dor:
nan's defeat, the Los Angeles Times published an
investigative report revealing that Mexican citizens
residing in Orange County voted in last November's election, aided by a Latino advocacy group,
Hermandad Mexicana Nacional.
. The Times expose turned up 19 Mexican
natives who admitted casting fraudulent ballots iA
the Dornan-Sanchez race. ADd since then, the
Orange County district attorney and the California secretary of state have determined that at least
303 non-American citiuns, illegally registered by
Hermandad, voted in the 46th oongressional district.
Sanchez aod her Democratic supporters
acknowledge these 300 or so illegal votes (that
almost certainly were cast in her favor). But they
want the investigations to end there, which would
leave her with a 681-vote margin of victory over
Dornan.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Since

Wahama to host Southern Friday night

thrashing.
Wahama counters with its festive
homecoming ac&lt;ivities. Winning a
homecoming game at Wahama is like
finding a needle in a haystacl&lt;. Both
are, quite frankly, almost impossible.
But if.ony Southern team can do it,
this year's club seems to have. the best
odds. Couple that with the fact that
Wahama only defeated another Division VI school, Eastern, 14-0.
Southern is enjoying its beSI start
m decades at 3-1. Southern's momen&lt;um and Wahama's tradition should
produce one heck of a game.
David Mitchell is the Wahama quarterback, a strong-anned, accurate
throwing, sure-handed gem at the
position. Against Eastern, Mitchell
did not have one of his finer games,
but was 5-14 for 56 yards. Last week,
the
4-0
Falcons,
defeated
Ravenswood ~-7, totaling 302 yards
on the ground and 37 yards passmg.
The lone pass was a touchdown aer-

their first points of the year last w,eek
at Win County.
Eastern will have to wa&lt;ch three
key players, sophomore quarterback
Michael Smith, senior running back
Jason Chapman, and another senior
running back Chris Tucl&lt;er. Chapman
nd Tucker are bo&lt;h holders of I 00yard rushing games, although Chapman is the quicker of the two. Basically a young team, Buffalo has 37
men on the roster with II freshmen
and 13 sophomores.
Another Tucker, Chad Tucker, is
the team's best receiver. Buffalo utilizes Smith as a smooth hand-off man

Mumme's pass-happy approach.
Couch, smothered by the Gators m
his first stan last season, has bounced
back. Last week, he hit on 24 of 32
passes for 334 yards and a school·
record seven touchdowns m a 49-7
win over Indiana. It was &lt;he most
points scored by Kentucky (2-1)
since 1978, a span of 203 games.
For the senson, Couch is 99 of 143
for 1,081 yards and 15 louchdowns,
while his counterpart, Doug Johnson,
is 49-of-93 for 802 yards and 12
touchdowns, including three in Flonda's 33-20 win over No.9 Tennessee
last week.
"We're probably no&lt; as good as
everybody thinks," Spurrier said,
" but goo~ things seem to happen to
lhe Gators."
,
Whether Couch can have success
against a stingy Florida defense is the
biggest queslion . With a stellar secondary of Eli Williams and Fred

1nust maintain their peak· level of
enthusiasm to counter the boost of the
WHS homecoming and make the
fundamental bread·and-butter plays

Offensively, Southern will have to
be patient, not putting itself in position where it is always a passing s,ituation . M1chael Ash must get some
support in the Southern backfield,
because Wahama already ha• his

Offensively, Ash , once the area

anotpcr I 00-yard game with 21 carries for 130 yards and one touchdown . Anolher 'rO-yard Ash run was

Orioles beat Blue.
Jays 9-3 to clinch
East pennant ·
By The Anoclated Presa
From stan to finish, the Baltimore
Orioles wore the leaders ofthe pack.
The Onoles, who moved into first
place on opening day and stayed
there the rest of the season, clinched
their first AL East championship
since 1983 by beating Toronto 9-3
Wednesday riight.
. Baltimore is only the sixth majorleague team to hold first place every
day of the season.
" Wire to wire. It's kind of mindboggling," Cal Ripken said. "What
it says is we played good at the start,
good in the middl~ and good in the
end."
'
Rafael Palmetro hit his 38th
homer and drove in four runs for the
Orioles, who lead the New York Yankees by four games with four remaining. If the teams finish with the same
record, Baltimore would be the division champion because it won the
season series against the Yankees 84.
No division playoff would be
necessary becauSe both teams already
have postseason berths.
' The Orioles, who open their bestof-five playoff series at AL West
champion Seattle on Wednesday, celebrated their title with a steady How
of champagne and beer.
"This celebration is going to be
sweet, · but it's also going to be
short," Ripken said. "We' ve got to
start thinking about Seattle, and anything can happen in a short series.
Fortunately, the kind of season we
had is something we can dwell on as
we get ready for the playoffs."
The Yankees, who beat Cleveland
8-4 Wednesday night, will be the
AL's wild-card team. They will open
their series against the Central champion Indians on Tuesday at Yanl&lt;ee
Stadium.
Elsewhere in the AL, it was
Boston 9, Detroit 2; Minnesota 7,
Chicago 2; 'Milwaul&lt;ee 4, Kansas
City 3 in 15 innings; Texas 8, Oakland 4; and Anaheim 9, Seattle 3.

Dear Ann Landers: This letter is
for "J.B. in Rochester," whoconsioered herself a "good Samaritan" for
trying to help someone else's. dog.
· She was upset because a vet refused
to remove porcupine quills from the
dog's face and back until she had
paid the owner's previous bill.
A good Samaritan is one who
does a generous deed and is willing
to accept all the consequences, even
if it means money out of his ·own
pocket. In my opinion, J.B . is no

good Samaritan. She is simply
another person expecting free veteri·
nary care on a Satwday night. --Jeffrey R. Wieser, DVM, Brookfield,

animal 'doctors went through at least
eight years of college to get their
degrees. 'They have college loans
plus the expenses of running a vel·

there is no Medicaid for pets. The
only resources for indigent pet owners are humane societies and the
SPCA. Doctors. dentists and restaurants refuse services unless they are
paid. Why shouldn't veterinarians?
· MUford, NJ .: I have practiced

veterinary medicine for 54 years and
have never refused treatment in an
emergency, regardless of the

Portlalld, Ore.: That vet who
refused to remove the porcupine
quills from the dog's face until he
was paid is in the wrong profession.
He should be a loan officer.
Hopewell Juodion, N.:V.: When
my dog was hit by a car, the vet said
it would cost $700 to repair the leg.
He refused to reduce his fee. Then,
he said, "Since you.can't afford the
$700, I can amputate the leg for
$250." I'm still seething.

Letter from Delta Queen visitor gives praise to Pomeroy
.

I

. Editor's Note: The following was
received last week by Susan Clark,
President of the Pomeroy Merchant's Association, along with a letter of thanks from the author for the
warm reception shown the passengers on the Delta Queen during its
Labor Day weekend stop. The essay
is reprinted here, with permission
and in its entirety.) ,

Welcome to Pomeroy
By Charles N. S t e Monterey Park, Calif. ,
Far down the Ohio River, still
miles from our destination at
Pomeroy, the boats begin to gather
around· the Delta Queen, first one,
then another, and finally more than a
dozen. The small boats nank us on
all sides, the people in them waving
to us, admiring us ..and taking pictures.
Small black cameras held to eyes
blink at the Delta Queen, spreading
its great white presence across the
emulsions of their film. Th~ arriving
hoats kick up the water, leave their
: splashy trails; then idle their engines
.as they fall in · with the growing
escort Ootilla for the slower Delta
Queen.
By the time we approach our
mooring at Pomeroy, even more
boats join the others, all of them at
our sides, almost as though they are
responsible for retrieving us from
·the river.
All along the Ohio River, people
had waved to us from parks, back
yards and even from the sides of the
roads, and we had waved back, the
captain had blown his mellow whis·
tie at them, but the reception lit
Pomeroy surpasses any we had ever
seen. ,

Hundreds of people line the wall
along the bank, and crowd the concrete amphitheater by the river,
awaiting our arrival.
The dazzling noonday sun beams
from their faces, their sun hats, their
shorts and t-shirts. Completely overwhelmed by our welcome, we stand
on the deck gazing out at the great
assembly of people.
Fastening the Delta Queen's great
mooring ropes to the posts on the
shore, and lowering and securing the
gangplank had taken a long time, but
finally we are ready .to leave the
boat.
Dolores and I are nearly the first
people off, and as we begin to walk
across the ramp, the crowd stans to
clap and cheer as though we are
celebrities rather than Norm and
Dolores, retired teachers living modestly in Monterey Park, Calif., a
town that none ofthem had probably
ever heard of. The cheers touch us
with fame for a few brief moments
fonimply riding an old steamboat.
The mayor, dressed uncomfon. ably in a black suit on such a warm
day, steps on to the ramp, welcomes
us to his city, and shakes our hands
firmly.
A welcoming committee, mostly
women, stand in a line next to where
we.shall be walking. Attired in black
skirts with long red and white plaid
vesiS, they wait to greet us.
The first woman receives us, and
gives us a packet of candy wrappe!l
in red netting.
Each one of the dozen or more
greeters extends his,or her han~. and
sincerely welcomes us to their city • as though we were kings and
queens. We shake the hands of each
"of them, almost like politicians
working a crowd.

We edge our way through the
crowd of onlookers, some of whom
look longingly at us as though we
were somehow different from ihem
rather than the plain ordinary folks
we are. We differ from them only in
that we happen to have been aboard
the Delta Queen.
After walking through the craft
stands, we hoard a bus for a short
tour of Middleport, where we visit a
shop making teddy bears. Returning
to Pomeroy, we join a walking tour
of th~ town, led by a very nice
young man attired in black trousers
arid a white dress shirt, beads of
sweat oozing from his forehead
under the hot sun.
Everywhere in town are banners
saying "Welcome Delta Queen."
Today, Labor Day, has been designated "Delta Queen Day." A large
white banner with bright red letters
hands across the pillars of the Meigs
County Courthouse. declaring the
special day.
_
Once on our own, Dolores and I
visit the shops around town, each of
their proprietors greeting us with a
warm smile and an effusive "Wei·
come to Pomeroy'" In the .Peoples
Banking and Trust Co. office, we
walk through displays of locallymade quilts, many of them suspend·
ed like special banners of country ·
life. the warm values of the Midwest
sewn into them. Other quilts lay
across the teller's windows. We had·
also seen women sewing a quilt
under the shade of an awning on the
main street of town. One of the
women !lad uplained to us that the
quilt-sewing group meets every
Wednesday and that they raise substantial funds for local organizations.
It is in Clark's Jewelry St!)re that

we receive our warmest welcome. A
pretty, energetic young woman, still
dressed in the black skirt and plaid
vest of the welcoming committee
greets us, telling us how glad she is
that we had come to Pomeroy. She
not only expresses her welcome
vocally, she uses the movements of
her hands, arms and body to emphasize her words. She looks closely
into. our faces, her deep brown eyes
Oashing, her even white teeth
sparkling, her rapid talk and patter
nowing through her constant smile.
. We look at her in amazement,
hardly knowing ho\1' to respond to
the wonder of her sincere effusive·
ness, her manner so different from
the city sophisticates we see ever
day, so different from anyone we
know, have ever met, or even seen.
We had noticed upon entering the
store that a display of jewelry lay on
tables out front near the sidewalk
with no one watching them. When
we bring this to her attention, she
says, "We don't have much trouble
in this town. We do have to take precautions like bars on the windows,
but we don't really need them." We '
tell her 'that the jewelty would be
stolen in short order where we·live.

Dear NASCAR Race Fan,
Since Harry Gant is no longer
adivc, his fan club is no longer ·
active, and unfortuilately we do
not ha't'e his home address on
hand. However, Harry is still
active in bt.ISine5.'1 in his home·
town of Taylorsville, N.C., where
he runs a popular steakhouse. Taylorsville is not a large place, and
our suspicion is that any letter to
HalT)' Gant, Taylorsville, N.C.,
'would find its way to his mailbox.

READERS ASK THE QUESTIONS

Qear NASCAR Race Fan,
The decision to discontinue lhe
Thunderbird meant that Ford had
only a few months of intense
preparation to put into the Taurus,
but the general conseMUS is that
the new car will be an eJtCCllcnt
race car. The rear of the car, u
crilics have pointed out, looks
almost identical to the rear of the
Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Much of
the development Work, by the
wa~. was done by a Winston Cup
race team, Rusty Wallace's Penske

By Phillip Alder
SamueiJohnson was talking about
libraries when he said, "Knowledge
is of two kind~. We know a subject
ourselves, or we know where we can
find infonnation upon it."
In bridge, an opening bid supplies
infonnation to partner. (which is
often good) and to the opponents
(which is sometimes bad). This deal
is an example of the latter. It was
declared by English expert David
Stevenson.
That the West hand has 13 highcard points is true. Yet it is a debatable opening bid, given that three
pQints come from a singleton king.
Also, queens and jacks (quacks) are
overvalued at 1wo and one, respec'
tively.
Stevenson, after winning the first
_tric~ with dummy's spade ace,
returned the spade nine, which ran to
West's queen. West switched to a low
diamond, South capturing East's Icing
with his ace. Now declarer made the
key play : He led a club to dummy's
king. When it lost to East's ace,
Stevenson had all the infonnation he
neeiled to place the missing honor
cards. East had already shown up
with seven points (the diamond king
and club ace). Surely West had the
remaining 13 -- including the hean
king -· for his vulnerable one-diamond bid, even in England, the land
of the thin opening.
·
After ruffing East's club re&lt;urn,
Stevenson placed the hean ace on to
the table, nodding as if it were nothing less than his due when West
dropped the king.
Always keep track ohhe high·
card points. This will often furnish
the clue to find ·the winning line,
especially when an opponent has bid·
-and sometimes when he hasn' 1.

Inventory hike keeps
u:s. economy buzzing
By DAVE SKIDMORE
A11oclated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Shoppers
shunned stores in the April-June
quarter but.businesses kept the eco.n·
amy advancing at a healthy rate by
building their invcn.iorics and inve&lt;t·
ing in new equipment at the fastest
rate in 14 years.
The gross domestic product grew
.at a 3.3 percent seasonally adjusted
annual rate in the second quaner. the
Commerce Department said todny.
That's down from a torrid 4.9 per·
cent rate in the first quaner. The
dceeleration·was much more abrupt
in consumer spending, which
accounts for about two-thirds of the
economy. It slowed from a 5.3 per·
cent growth rate in the first quaner to
just 0..9 percent in the second.
Bullish spending by businesses on
capital e,quipment from computers to
aircraft salvaged the overall growth
rate. Capital spending soared at a 23
percent annual rate, the highest since
the fourth quarter of 1983.
Inventory accumulation accounted for about a quarter of the economy's growth in the second quarter.

The overall 3.3 percent growtb
rate represents a revision from the 3.6
percent estimate a month ago. Small- .
cr export growth than shown last
month is the primary source of the
. revision :

Economists had originally thought
second quarter growth slowed more
sharply. offering a welcome respite
from any buildup of inflationary
pressure and postponing any need for
the Federal Reserve to dampen economic growth by increasing short·
tcnn interest rates .

shauered that thinking. but inflation

A measure of inflation tied to the
GOP rose at a mere 1.8.percent annu·
al rate in the second quarter, the
smallest in five yeats and down from
2.4 percent in the first. Lower energy prices are the main reason for the
slowdown.
Many analysts, noting strong
