Don Neal of Lang~ville told Wright that regulators should listen to the people who use the stream. "The creek is full of fish," he said. Claire Might, who lives along the creek ncar Middleport, said the problem with the stream now isn't what SOCCo put into it in 1993, but the sill in lhe streams. "We should wort on the sill problem if we want to improve the stream." he said. "Every time it floods it moves the sand from one place to another. There might be a water hole here this year, and the winter/spring Ooods moves sill into the hole next year." He said he has found clams at several Leading Creek locations, but added that the sand covers them from on_c year to the next. Local residents blame the silt problem on erosion from surface mines abandoned in the 1940s and 1950s.

' WASHINGTON - A year after Congress tried to· slam the door on illegal immigration, lawmakers have given back benefits to lesal immigrants, allowed 400,000 Latin Americans to avoid ~eponation , and provided a partial reprieve to a million or more illegals. . Working up to the last minute again on immigration legislation, · Congress spent mioch of 1997 relenting on tough stands taken last year in an effort to stop 300,000 people a year from staying illegall)' in the United States. ln final dramatic moves Thursday, lawmakers granted permanent status to hundreds of thousands of . Nicaraguans, Salvadorans and Guatemalans who have been on "temporary" status since they escaped to the United States from their war-tom countries in the 1980s. Congress also agreed to allow illegal immigrants to apply for a green card if they arc qualified for spon· sorship ,for legal status as a spouse. child or p~nt of a citizen or legal resident, or by an employer. A million peo'ple could qualify for the provision, called 245 (i), before it expires on Jan. 14. Congressional champions of reform said adjustments are always necessary on complicated legislation, but the new laws still provide weapons in the fight against illegal immigration. "We made it clear to the Clinton administration that we will insist on tough enforcement, and the changes we agreed to on Central Americans and 245 (i) guarantee that these programs are finally closed," said Rep. Lamar Smith. R-Texas, chairman of the House immigration subcommittee. "The law just took effect this ye~r. but it assures the reduction of illegal immigration in the future." Both sides of the immigration debate think this year's changes were driven by Republican fears of alienating millions of new Hispanic and Asian citizens. turning them into lifelong Democrats. "What we saw this pa.•t year were dozens of horrifying ways these laws can harm people, which were never contemplated by most Republicans who voted for them." said Cecelia Munoz, vice president of the National Council of La Raza. a Latin<> advocacy group. "The bottom line was the Republicans went overboard. and they saw they were beginning to pay the political price." "Unfortunately, what we saw in the past year was a lack of followthrough and backbone on the pan of Congress." said Mark Krikorian. executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates re·stricting immi~ration . "They largely caved in and roDed back refonns passed last year. There are still more illegals coming to live here than we are deponing each year, and · by approving 245 (i), they have ere· ated a pervenc situation where the INS becomes a co-conspirator to helping illegals stay in the United States." · . The political fallout from last year's tough immigration Jaws was not easy to measure, but Clinton beat GOP challenger Bob Dole in every large immigrant state except Texas, and Repl!blican firebmnd Rep. Bob Dornan lost his Orange County, Calif., seat to businesswoman Loretta Sanchez. Although they have carried on a 1 year ollg investigation into voting fmud in the Dornan-Sanchez race, Republican leaders also appointed pro-immigmtion Sen. Spencer Abraham, R-Mich .. chainnan of the Senate subcommittee on the subject. Abraham held two hearings promoting the contributions immigrants have made to America. Major policy moves on immigration during 1997 included:· • The return of fedeml benefits 10 an estimated 500,00Qelderly and dis-· abled legal immigrants who cannot qualify for Social Security. The ben· elits, known as Supplemental Sccurity Income, were cut off for legal immigrants under last year's welfare bill. But nationwide demonstrations - and news stories warning of 80:. year-old women being thrown into the street- convinced GOP leaders to reverse the provision in July. • Three short-term extensions for the 245 (i) program, and a final decision to allow its use by any illegal alieh who is sponsored for. legal immigration by the middle of January. Without the provision, applicants may apply for a green card only at a u.s. consulate in their home country. The program allows those who have qualified to be sponsored for legal immigration to pay a $1,000 fine and apply for a green card in the United States. More than SOO,OOO have used 245 (i) in ttoi: past three years, providing INS with more than $300 mil· lion it has used to provide detention space. for illepl immiiJI'8lllS awaiting deportation. • Fingerprinting of applicants for citizenship by the INS or law enforcement agencies. Applicants cannot be processed until the FBI has detcnnincd that they do not have a criminal record. Congress ended a progmm just started last year allowing fingerprints to be taken by private contractors. The changes came after it was revealed that' more than 200.000 people were allowed to become citizens without a background cHeck. and a.• many as 5,000 had criminal records that would have disqualified them. · "George Voinovich, as mayor of Cleveland and as governor, has been a strong supporter of l'llle-based quota systems and has bien generous in their use," Sen.

With SUIIPikts, City probes ·plant history after blast · COLUMBUS (AP) - A GeorgiaPacific plant damaged in an explosion l'!'O months ago has a history of environmental and safety problems and should not be rebuilt, a city official said. City Council President Michael B. Coleman said he,will do everything he can to keep the southside resins plant from being rebuilt. But a council spokesman said that those options are limited. One worker was killed and half the plant destroyed Sept. 8 when an 8•.000-gallon kenle exploded during a routine chemical mixing. Coleman ordered a city report on the plant's safety record since it opened in H70. The report, which was released Thursday, said the Obio Environmental Protection Agency had been called to the plant at least 14 times. , "To me what jumps out of the pages is there have been a number of incidents demon~trating a history and a paucrn," Coleman said. "I know that when people on the south side go to bed at night, they have a legitimate concern whether or not there will be an incident at that site." The cause of the explosion had not been detennined. Andy Nonnan , regional manufacturing manager for Atlanta-based Georgia-Pacific. said Friday that the company hoped to complete its investigation and know what caused the accident by the end of the month. Formaldehyde production in the undamaged pan of the plant has resumed, but Georgia-Pacific did not yet know if it will try to rebuild. Norman said the company · probably would not make that decision until early 1998 whether it would try to rebuild. "If we decide to rebuild, we will come back with improved systems. We will utilize the results from the investigation to make sure we don 't have another accident like this," he said . Norman said the city report was fair but that measures taken to correct the cited problems were not always detailed. Hollister to visit Meigs Monday I;'OMEROY - Lt. Gov.

MEARS AP Special CorrHponden1 . . . WASHINGTON -This time. President Clinton's nommees ran mto "trouble because they agree with him on affirm~tive ~ctio~ and abortion, colliding with Republicans who balked at Senate conftrmauon. Disputes, delays and sometimes defeats and withdrawals have been chronic problems for Chnton nommees. begmnmg before the GOP took control of the Senat~ and the confirmation system. .· . . Indeed, even the jobs involved in this round were at stake m earher dtsputes- assistant atlomey general for civil rights. and surgeon general. And in each case, the issues involved now were factors then. But there's a difference now. Republican leaders are opposing NAACP lawyer Bill Lann Lee for the civil rights post, and at least stalling the nomination of Dr. Davtd Satcher to be surgeon general because of positions on the issues that fit those of the Democratic administration. Disputes over philosophy and politics have been the undoing of nominees before, but not so explicitly. There was always another explanauon, so that· at least a pretense of the presumption that a president can make hts own choices for administration .iobs could be preserved. . When the last Clinton nominee for surgeon general was block~ tn the Senate, opponents said the issue was credibility, althou~h it really was abortion. And when an earlier Clinton ch01ce tor the CIVIl nghts post was threatened with a Republican filibuster in 1993 and ultimately withd~ew, it was over views on minority hiring quotas the president said he hadn't known and didn't suppon. In these cases, there is no such wrapping. Clinton's spokesman said Lee was being blocked "for no apparent reason other than a philosophical dispute between one senator and the prestdent of the United States." But it isn' t only one, and it isn't only senators. House Speaker Newt Gingrich also is on the case, urging that Lee be rejected. . Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, chainnan of the Judiciary Commiuee,leads the opposition to Lee over his affirmative action views and record. Hatch ~aid he doesn't want the job to become "c1V1l nghts ombudsman for the pohllcal left." . Hatch pronounced the nomination dead before his commiuee took it up for action today, with Democrats trying to get it at least to a stalemate that would pennit a Senate vote next year.

Another of the people I surveyed .. there's one in evecy crowd, isn't there Newt? .. pointed out that the ' reason the IRS screws ' biggest up so much, and one of the main reasons the taxpayers feel abused, is because the tax system is so damn complicated.

Indeed, as a way of rewarding their friends and contributors with tax breaks, they do the precise opposite. Look at the 1997 Tax . Relief Act. It's loaded with deduc· tions, credits, exemptions, phase, outs, preferences and restrictions., Finally. Newt, I should warn you that many citizens suspect you arc playing politics with this issue.

I included in my poll, 'for example, the following query: "How would you describe the fragrance of politicians who, in . search of surefire election Winners, mount a crusade against the IRS?

J-ph Spear is a syndicated wri~r for Newspaper Enterprise Association. By JAMES HANNAH Aaeoclated Pre.. Writer DAYlON - When it rains hard, a terrifying memory tightens its grip on Joe DiMatteo. He was 7 when the Great Flood of 1913 carne calling, '"I can't tell you as a kid how scared I was," the 91-year-old DiMatteo recalled. DiMatteo's memories 811d tbose of other flood survivors are fueling renewed interest in the flood, bringing the area's worst natural disaster back to life. Wright State University sought out flood survivors, historical film and long-lost flood photos to produce a play called •: 1913: The Great Dayton Rood." The play was selected as the opening prOduction at a college festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington last March. In September, the play was performed in Dayton for about 90 flood survivors. They were special guests of the Miami Conservancy District, which was marking the 75th anniversary of the completion of the system · of dams and levees that have prevented future such floods. That same month, Frank Grube discovered a newsreel in the basement of his mother's Dayton home showing the flood's aftermath. The rare film, which was shown to the public last month as pan of a film preservation festival, may be turned over to the Library of Congress. Red carpet treatment insult to.American people I By ROBERT WEEDY Professed values and possess~d values are not the same thing in Washington as we learned recently when China's President Jiang Zemin was given the 'red carpet' treatment, at his demand. Not only did our government comply with that demand, but he also made the decision as to what he would talk about during his visit. The speclliCie of Jiang in a three-corner hat ' in Colonial Williamsburg, or posing him next to the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to make us think heuer of his repressive regime is insulting to the American people. The Chinese arc friendly people and we should do all we possibly can to make life beuer for them. But to salute a leader in this manner who has used power to subject millions of Chinese people to slave labor factories, prison, forced abortions. and denial of religious liberties says more about who America has become than about Jiang. For the only super power in the world to place cheap goods ahead of moral principle shows how far we have sunk. How we have abandoned the hurting and the dissidents in China! This is to our shame.

By TONY SNOW Cre1tora Syndlcete WASHINGTON -- Bill ·clinton has announced plans to muzzle America's extremists in the name of what's righteous and right. He wants sweeping new curbs on "hate crimes," which are defined as malicious act~ committed against cenain groups. This is tricky business. Hate is a primal sin, and bad people shower it indiscriminately on innocents. Nevertheless, the president seems concerned only wi.th specific forms of enmity. He, along with Scns. ..Ed."lard Kennedy, Arlen Specter and Ron Wyden, wants extra. punishment for those who bash minorities, gays or the handicapped. This would produce some odd results. If somebody beat a handicapped man with a hammer and called him a "jerk," the thug would ~et a "normal" sentence. If, on the other hand, someone pushed over a person in a wheelchair while using an unacceptable epithei, such as "gimp," the malefactor could get an even stiffer punishment. In short, the president wants to create an etiquette for muggers. If you scrape away the rbetoric, however, some interesting facts come into view. The president's scheme not only would smack predators; it also could use federal might to squash people who say uncivil things. At Jeast 57 percent of all hate crimes reported in 1995 .were verbal in nature. The remaining misdeeds - arson, assault, rape and murder -Snow don 'I seem to need special emphasis: Couns already lrCat them harshly. The chief executive is grandstanding, but with a political aim in mind. Roger Pil,on, a constitutional expert at the Cato Institute, notes that "this whole effort smacks of redefining crime in the politically fashionable categories of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and so fonh •• pandering to the special interests that constitute the diminishing base . of · the Democratic Party." Yet it defies common sense to believe that the logic of political correctness, once unleashed on the criminal population, would end there. Eventually, courts and lawyers would track down everybody who assaulted a member of the victim class or uttered harsh words in anger. This raises interesting questions: Is it a hate crime when Jesse Jackson calls someone a racist? (There is no worse epithet in America today. Ask Washington Capitals left wing Chris Simon.) Is it a hate crime when a PETA activist splashes blood on a furrier's wares? When a pederast seduces a child? When environmentalists prevent loggers from earning a living? When the president dismisses his critics as "extremists," thus redcfin· ing dissent as a form of terrorism'! · When a black assailant mugs a white person? (Abigail and Stephan Thcrnstrom note in their book "America in Black and White" that a 1993 crime victimization survey showed that "89 percent of (the) cases of interracial crime involved black assailants and white victims.") . Gestures have become paramount in this presidency and in contemporary American s~icty, while facts ha vc become mere inc on vcnienccs. Consider tht "church burning" crisis of 1996. The purponed epidemic was a fraud manufactured by USA Today and fanned by the Clinton White House. Journalist Michael Fumento. using Depart· ment of Justice figures, has demonstrated that arson rates weren't abnormal in 1996 •• at least not until the stories appeared, at which point, copycats took up their matchbooks and kerosene cans. Stuart McDowell, chair of Wright State's theater, dance and motion piclures department, said he was inspired by author Alan Ecken's 1965 book, "A 1ime of Terror, The Great Dayton Flood." The book chronicled the flood on an hour-byliour basis. · "I woke up my wife at two in the morning and said, 'This is a play,"' he recalled. "It's probably the most imponant event of Dayton's history." · That fateful·spring of 1913, an early thaw had saturated the .basins of the Great Miami, Mad and Stillwater rivers, which come together in Dayton. On March 23, it began to rain and didn't stop for five days. The water, with nowhere else to go, breached the ~hen levees and poured into Dayton. A brown '!'ave o( water- up to 20 feet deep tn some'el> places - streamed downtown. Natural gas lines snapped, and fires broke out around the city. The riverside communities of Sid• ney, Piqua. Troy, Miamisburg, Germantown, Franklin, Middletown and Hamilton were also swamped. Many residents ran or swam to higher ground. Others fled to the upper floors of their homes. Thousands of horses and other animal~ drowned. · Photos show flood waters swamping homes up to their roofs and coatclad victims crowding into homemade rowboats.

Chu is a former managing partner of Andersen Consulting, a global management and technology conSulllnffiiln. Hc> 'arso s~rved· as commissioner of taxation and finance for New Yorkfrom 1983 to 1988. The Ohio Board of Regents made its announcement after a meeting at Northwest State Community College in this city about40 miles southwest of Toledo. Telephone messages seeking details on when Chu will stan his job, how much he will be paid and how long his contract will be were left with state e.ducation officials. Chu said he was looking forward to the job. "Ohio's colleges and universities have already accomplished something that is all too rare in higher education circles: they have moved past the stage of admiring the problems we in higher education face and ate actually doing something about them," Chu said. "I am eager to join with those who have begun this effort, and contribute to the process of moving from envisioning change to achieving real tatives at the World Bank and Asian Development Bank to vote "no" on loans to China. Targeted sanctions would be imposed on U.S. business dealings by penalizing companies owned by the Chinese military who have been involved in smuggling AK-47 a..sault rifles to Los Angeles street gangs. Word from the grassroots can move Congl'llss forward.on this imponont step, fur to now they seem more interested in appea.<ing China.

These arc sisters and brothers of llclievers everywhere and we can not exempt ourselves from rcmcmllcring them and their needs. Today, November 16, is the oflicial day to intercede on behalf of this international crisis: .the worldwide persecution of people for no other reason than their faith in God. "Rememllcr those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who arc mistreated as if you yourselves were suiTering." If everyone docs something it will make a diiTcrence. Robert Weedy is a i:orrespondont rnr the Sunday Times-Sentinel. The left's fascination with hate crimes stems in pan from liberals' realization that they have lost the battle over who defines values. So, they have decided to get their way ·through the u&c of force. Writer Jonathan Rauch has coined the term "purism" to describe liberals' utter intolerance for those who stray from the one true secular faith. This tactic necessarily degenerates into moral fascism. First, the government cnmines words used by criminals. In time, as miscreants adjust, prosecutors search for criminal intent in "code words," then gestures, articles of clothing and so on. Preuy soon, nobody can speak at ca.<e, for fear of unwillingly breaking the law. The president and the senators suggest razing the wall of separation between church and state to leave only the state. Nothing better cap- · tures the essence of Clinton morality: unbuundcd skepticism in the goodtiess of others and equally limitless faith in the benevolence of government. This is a fateful choice. There tire two ways to comhat crimes inspired by hate: You can use moral suasion to make them hopelessly uncool and . unacceptable, or you can discourage . them with raw force. · Wrtte Tbny Snow, Cruton Syadl· • cate, 5777 Wt11t Ctntwry Blvd~ Suite, COLUMBUS (AP)- State environmental officials have ruled that a petition to declare the area beneath Dysart Woods in Belmont County unsuitable for coal mining is incomplete. The Buckeye Forest Council submitted the petition Oct. 16. It asks the state Division of Mines and Reclamation to declare the property beneath Dysart Woods unsuitable for mining. The council said it wanted to protect the 455-acre area, which is owned by Ohio University and includes about 50 acres of rare oldgrowth timber, for hydrological, geological and forest research. The division, which had JO days to review the petition, determined COLUMBUS (AP)- State Highway Patrol troopers have guidelines for vehicle searches that should prevent the kind of confusion that sent one case to the U.S. Supreme Coun and then back to the Ohio Supreme Court. , Patrol spokesman Lt. John Born said state troopers must specifically tell the driver, "At this time, you are legally free to leave" before search- results," he said. Regents Chair Elizabeth Lanier calls Chu a non-traditional choice. Bill she ~aid it is appropriate for what she calls higher education's non-traditional future. · Regent Thomas Noe agreed. "No decision has a more direct impact on the future of the state and I have no doubt that Ohio higher education as we k.now it today will change as a result of the leadership Rod Chu will provide. We are fonunate to have attracted somepne of his caliber and talent to the position, and I look forward to working with him," he said . Ms. Hairston announced her retirement amid criticism for the board's role in overseeing Central State University, Ohio's only publicly funded, historically black university that has been plagued with financial problems. She has said the controversy had nothing to do with her dcci-· sion . that it did not prove that the council would be injured because of mining. Mines and division official Bill Sterling said Friday. Sterling said the division ruled Thursday that the petition was incomplete and mai lc\1 it back to the council with an explanaJion. There is no deadline for the council to resubmit the petition, Sterling said. A message was left Friday afternoon with the council.

While most portfolio strategists would advise against adopting a "no place like horne" approach to invest· ing, the thought is tempting. Despite all tbe hype about the unbridled potential of emerging !Rarkets, it's not as if the Pacific Rim was such a winning bet before all the tumult of the past month. In fact, throu~h the end of September, mutual fu~ds specializing in that region were down an average of 6 percent for the year, according to Lipper Analytical Services. Add in the recent debacle, and this year's loss becomes about 24 percent. Too short a time frame? For the past five years, a period of unprecedented success for U.S. stocks, funds focusing on the Pacific Rim are up only about 23 percent. Compare that with an average five-year return of 119 percent for funds that stick with U.S. companies. Stricken three years ago by a fiscal crisis similar to the one now rattling Asia, Latin America actually might have provided some reassurance if its impressive recovery hadn't proven so fragile in recent weeks. After posting an average five-year gain of I0 I percent through Sept. :m, Latin American funds are now up just about 45 percent over the past five years. It all adds up to what seems a monumental betrayal by those Wall Street professionals- the ones who made international funds a prominent choice on the menu of just about any 40l(k) retirement plan - who are supposedly looking out for the average person with modest savings. Apparently, at least some investors are growing frustrated: Even though mutual fund deposits cxccpded with· drawals by $21 billion last month, those funds with an internaltonal theme suffered a net outnow of money. · But amid this tide of financial xenophobia, investment experts have some advice about foreign markets: Now· more than ever.

' • Kaczynski's letters indicate he sought psychiatric treatment Sj\CRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)- Plagued by insomnia, Unabomber sus· pect Theodore Kaczynski tried for five years to find a psychiatrist who would take a "concrete and practical approach" to his problem. Kaczynski, who claims to be so terrified of psychiatrists that he cannot submit to a court-ordered mental examination, repeatedly saw and tried to see therapists between 1988 and 1993, according to letters supplied by pros· ecutors. . In excerpts of numerous letters released Friday, Kaczynski requested treatment or referrals from several psychiatrists and counseling centers. "I don't want to pick a psychiatrist at random out of the Yellow Pages," he wrote in one letter, "because I might pay $100 or more for a visit to him only to find out that he is, for example, a Freudian who tries to tell me that I have insomnia because I am unconsciously punishing myself for Oedipal feelings or some such nonsense." · Kaczynski, 55, faces a tO-count federal indictment in four bombings between 1978 and 1995.

To their s11rprisc, the Shihs found themselves chatting about their payroll with the secretary of the Treasury · and the Internal Revenue Service's commissiorN;r. "This is an opportunity to get our story out," Charles Shih told the two. "It has taken a long time." "I hope you get your problem solved today," Commissioner Charles Rossotti told the couple . . The exchange In the lobby of a Baltimore federal building captured the essence of IRS problem-solving sessions held in 33 cities nationwide: Pan taxpayer outreach, pan public. relatiyns. . Across the nation, 3,500 taxpayers rnade appointments to discuss qucs· tions about escalating penalty assessments or clearing up late returns. A thousand IRS workers were to be on hand to handle the appointments and any walk-in cases. Officials said extras on call if needed. The sessions also gave the IRS an opportunity to put its best foot forward after recent Senate investigative hearings in which the agency was . accused of abuses including the usc or illegal tax collection quotas and shakedowns of lower-income tax· payers. Not everyone got what they want· ed from the IRS at the weekend sessions, but many said they were treat· ed courteously. "I have to give them an 'A' on cor· diality," said John Post of Crofton, • Md., even though the IRS didn't excuse a tax deb! his wife owed pri- · or to their marrillge. Thny Zappardino of Baltimore walked away "very, very pleased" with resolution of a dispute involving seizure of almost $30,000 from his bank account for payment of his daughter's disputed back taxes. "The young lady who took care of me did it in a beautiful way," Zappardino said. "They should do this all the time.'' Rossotti, just two days into his new job, said that while it was too early to detenninc patterns from the grievances, "Most people (who) came in had situations that were lingering a little bii too long. They really should have been solved more quickly.'' . "Even in those ca...:s where something was not solved today, there is a commitment to follow up with the same person." Rossotti said. · Rossotti said that by noon. 62 per· cent of th~ ca.-.s handl~d by the Bal· timore office had been resolved. In addition, about half of taxpayers who called in had problems resolved without requiring an appointment. This tone of goodwill was reflected in other cities, even in the IRS office in Manhattan. Edna Parreno of Jersey City, N.J., claimed the IRS was withholding too much of her paycheck, then telling her she owed more . She said an IRS employee explained it was the state of New York withholding too much from her paycheck and would try to · help her fix the problem. "I came here angry, but I am leaving happy that this has finally been resolved," Parreno said. "Everyone here has be.en very helpful." The scene inside the Baltimore IRS office was orderly, with about 100 workers conferring with taxpayers in cubicles set up in the lobby for tbe event. At times, the scene was oddly upbeat. · Linda Autry of .Wilmington, Del., brought in a tin of cookies for an IRS agent who helped settle a seven-year problem with her husband's taxes as an independent contractor.

Standing on the sidelines are :i3 · million older Americans who rely on Medicare to pay their medical bills, many of whom must be wondering who is right- their hospital or their government. Approximately 1,800 hospitals in 24 states have paid back $50.2 mil lion to the Medicare truSI fund for violating Medicare billing rules. Another 2,600 hospitals have yet to , settle up, according to records provided by the Depaoment of Health and Human Services Inspector General. A Gannett News Service com puter-assisted analysis of nearly 1,500 settlement payments made si nce '1995 shows that senior-haven states such as Florida are not fueling these Medicare overbillings. lnstead. settlements from hospitals in Pennsylvania, Louisiana and New York accounted for approximately half of all pay backs made to the government, theGNS analysis showed. Government lawyers and auditors pushing these settlements- hospital by hospital - say this is one of the largest and most successful Medicare billing crackdowns ever. But hospital administrators complain they have been unfairly set upon by eager prosecutors while real swindiers and cheats defraud Medicare undetected. . "Some of us take it personally when the federal government says we are fraudulently billing when we're · trying to comply with their volumes of rules and regulations," said Neal Sword, director of business operatlons for Lee Memorial Health Systerns, a southwest Florida non-profit health care provider that derives approximately half its annual revenue from retirees on Medicare. "ln this country you are innocent until proven guilty. Now the government is saying otherwise." · For Medicare beneficiaries, the fallout could be a mixed one. Government fraud cops say they are protecting seniors by using every tool available to. whittle down the est~~ated $23 billion the Medicare system loses to fraud and abuse each year. But hospital · administrators believe the government's decision to classify billing errors as fraud threatens to undermine the very institutions se niors need when most vulnerable. "It's damaging to hospital reputa· lions and may have an unjustified impact on the local community," said John Jurovich, vice president of finance for the Louisiana Hospital Association whose 165 member hospitals settled with the government. · Patients who read about these settlements are left wondering if their caregivers are crooks, Jurovich said. "It creates the illusion that they have been fraudulent in their activities, which is a crock of B.S .. " he said. At issue is Medicare's so-called "72-hour window" rule. The rule stipulates hospitals can bill Medicare a single, flat fee for beneficiaries admitted as inpatients. The fee is to include related services the patient recet'ved wt'thl·n 72 hours of admittance. But government audits be,tween 1988 and 1996 found hospitals routinely violated the 72-hour rule and received more money from Medicare than they should have by submitting two bills. In five audits, hospitals were warned to stop this practice, said Ben St. John. a spokesman for the Depanment of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General. Yet, they did not, he said. Three years ago, the Dcpanment of Justice began sending "demand letters" to hospitals, informing each they had violated the 72-hour rule. Each hospital .faced prosecution under the federal False Claims Act that carries the threat of triple damages and fines up to $10,000 for each incorrect bill, the letters stated. Hospitals were offered the opportunity to "settle" for a lesser amount. "It puts hospitals in the position of feeling like they are being cxtoned," said Fredric Entin. general counsel for the American Hospital Association who helped negotiate the settlementterms for U.S. hospitals. The letters are not ext onion, said Lewis Morris. an assistant inspector general for the Depanment of Health and Human Services. They are a· clear message to the Medicare health care 1'ndustry to clean up its act, he sai~; , "The government is saying 'don 'I send in claims, which you know are bad, looking for a two- or three-year interest-free float,' " Morris said. "Chief financial officers, who for years depended on the float to cover that new wing or physician salary increases, it's not there anymore. We want our money back and then some." Government prosecutors expressed lillie sympathy with haspital industry executives who blame poorly trained clerks, confusing regulations and inadequate computer systems. "These hospitals were warned in separate audits about the problem, yet they continued,' ' said David Barasch, the U.S. anorney for the middle district of Pennsylvania whose office is coordinating the 72-hour settlements in most states. "After three audits and three warnings, you can't say the pal· tern is sheerly human error, particularly since there were so many errors." Hea1th care provt · 'de rs had lillie choice but 10 roll over, Entin said. "Basically, hospitals made a business decision that it was better to pay a $20,000 fine than to face possible penalties in excess of $1 million," Entin said. To better understand how the government and the nation's hospital industry arrived at this juncture, ft is necessary to understand something about Medicare's byzantine billing system. When a doctor sees a Medicare beneficiary, the doctor bills Medicare under Pan B. the ponion of the government health care program that · burses •.or non-hospital services. . re1m That bill is processed by one of28 ·"carriers" _ usually an insurance company _ paid by Medicare 10 process Part B claims. When a Medicare beneficiary is admitted 10 a hospital, the hospital's billing department generates an invoice to Medicare reflecting the patient's diagnosis-related group, a classification systelll used to determine payment. Under Medicare, hospitals are paid a flat fee for each DRG - there are approximately 500 dif· ferenl DRGs _regardless of the cost of treatment. The DRG bill falls under PartA'o f Medicare and goes to a fiscal inter· mediary, also a private insurance company sueh as Blue CrOio/Biue Shield or Mutual of Omaha, hired by By RUSTY MILLER away.

The repon added that· drug abuse costs American society about $300 a person every year. It said HIVIAIDS associated with drug abuse, emergency room visits and other medical costs, increased criminal activity and lower productivity combined to cost Americans $76 billion in 1991 -the latest numbers available - an increase of almost 50 percent in five years. Analyzing figures obtained from California's health industry, the U.N. study said that a drug abuser 's health costs arc about80 percent higher than a normal person's of the same age. The repon was one of the first to place the total· drug trade into economic perspective, showing its tremcndous impact on the global economy after decades of growth since the 1960s. The repon draws on its own research, as well as on studies by scholars and criminologists around the globe. Despite too-hopeful reports of diminishing drug usage in the 1980s, drug production shows no signs of flagging in the late 1990s. The 1980s' decline in U.S. drug consumption bucked the global trend, said the report, but has been increasing again since 1992. There arc 12.8 million drug abusers in the United States, fully 6.I percent of the population. it said. The repon makes no mention of alcohol abuse, which would add considerably to those numbers. The rcpon showed global production of opium -largely confined to Peru, Bolivia and Colombia- has . more than tripled in the past 10 years to nearly 4,300 tons. Coca leaf production has almost tripled to 304,000 tons, and the globe's marijuana'crop was. up more than 50 percent. Fully 90 percent of profits from the sale. of heroin and cocaine go to distributors, it said. 'lllustratinM this, it said a gram of 100 percent pure cocaine retailed for $4.30 in Colombia but sold for $59 to $297 in the United States. Drugs generate far less employment than some sociologists have contended, the repon says. CHOOSE ONE OF THESE: • TRIPLE YOUR PACKAGE MINUTES FOR 12 MONTHSt • $5 A MONTH OFF .

The drug industry accounts for approximately 8 percei11 of trade on the planet, and perhaps more, says the rcpon, noting some analyses place the annual planetary drug revenues at closer to SI trillion.

The champions will 'be dismantled faster than the midway of a county fair. The accountants are waiting. This will not be pretty.

(AP) - A lack of public funds for a new stadium could drive the Minnesota Twins to North Carolina. The same problem might await would-be owner Don Beaver in the team's proposed new home. "We're not getting excited about anything yet," Beaver said Friday after the Minnesota Legislature adjourned without approving a plan to build a new stadium for the Twins. Beaver has a deal with Twins owner Carl Pohlad to buy the team if Minnesota lawmakers fail to approve a stadium funding package by Nov. 30. Beaver would ask major league baseball owners for permission to relocate the franchise to the Greensboro-High Point-Winston Salem region for the 1999 season. Even though the Minnesota Legislature has no more sessions scheduled on the matter, Beaver cautioned against viewing that to mean the Twins are definitely headed to North Carolina. He ·said he ished .their selections. Here's how the draft will work: -All teams were able to protect 15 players. The Devil Rays and Diamondbacks can select anyone unprotected, except those with no prior major league experience who have less than three years service if signed at age 19 or older, or have less than four years of service if signed at age 18 or younger. - The Diamondbacks won the right 10 pick first by winning a coin toss, but elected to take the second and third picks and leave the Devil Rays the first and fourth choices. Arizona will then have all the ~dd-numbered picks the remainder of the draft, and Tampa Bay will . have the even-numbered picks. Tampa Bay owner Vince Naimoli would have preferred to let the Diamondbacks choose first, but said the No. I choice could be turned to the Devil Rays' benefit. "I think ow: hat the first pick allows NS to do is work on a blockbuster trade," Naimoli said. -The two lean\s will select one : COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - week. expected to average $2,000 but will Ohio State has cut in half the deposit The cost of the licenses are not be determined until next year. required for seat licenses in its new basketball and ice hockey arena. : The deposit now also will assure Ole buyer priority for selecting seats. : Under the old plan, buyers did not receive seat priority until they paid off the balance, and a $1.000 Makes both of you feel vrcy much alone deposit was required for the $4,000 licenses in the Arena Circle section ¢f the Scholten stein Center. • Meanwhile, more than 6,000 sear licenses had been sold for the new downtown arena with two days remaining to the deadline.

Beaver's first choice remains the Triad, which for decades has seen its professional sports limited to several minor-league baseball and hockey franchises. · · Greensboro last month became the temporary home of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes, who. have the worst attendance in the league. But Beaver attributed that to many people being uncomfortable with ticket prices and the 7S-mile drive from the team's home base of Raleigh, where a new arena is set to open in two seasons. Beaver expects no such problems with moving the Twins to the region.

If Triad voters are unwilling to fund a new stadium, Beaver's most likely option would be to temporarily move the Twill$ to a 12,500-seat facility in Fort Mill, S.C., where his Class AAA Charlotte Knights currently play. Beaver said the Fort Mill stadium could be expanded to 24,000 seats in lime ~or the Twins to begin playing there m 1999. The stadium would be large enough to serve as the Twins' home for two years. Beaver figures it would take that long to build a new stadiul)t in the Triad - or in downtown Charlotte, which would be his most likely second choice if Triad voters decide against financing a·stadium. . A 24,000-seat ballpark means maximum attendance of 1,944,000, which likely would mean a low pay. roll and noncontender status. Rejection of stadium financing plans by voters in the Triad and Charlotte probably would prompt BY.

The N.C. Travel and Tourism Coalition, the N.C. Hotel &: Motel Association and the N.C. Restaurant Association have come out against the proposed I percent tax.

As was the case five years ago, many players left unprotected have NHL roundup By BOB GREENE 'AP Sports Writer Jacques Demers took a loo.k for himself and agreed with the Tampa Bay fans. "I do not want to use the word worse, but I was expecting more,'' Demers said after watching the Lightning's team-record winless streak grow to 14 games (0-13-1). "Nobody likes to get booed at 1home, but at limes we deserved it.'' Demers took over Wednesday as the second coach in Lightning history. Friday night, he watched his charges lose their eighth straight By ALAN ROBINSON PITTSBURGH (AP) - They can make all the ch~nges they want: coaches, players, formations, philosophies. They can even copy from each other, such as when Cincinnati hired away Pittsburgh's defensive coordinator. Yet no matter how much they try to be different, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers always seem to wind up in the same place every November and not just bec.ause they meet twice a sea.«~n. The Steelers (7-3), who play the Bengals (3-7) on Sunday in a rematch of an earlier 26-10 victory. always seem to be atop or near the top of the AFC Central. The Bengals always seem to be near the bottom. How can two family owned franchises that have been linked so closely as ri"als and neighbors for nearly 30 years - each has a riverfront stadium that sits on the banks of the Ohio -be so radically dissimilar? "Jfs like this year, nobody gave us a chance to win again." Stcelers defensive end Kevin Henry said . "They said, 'Oh, you lost so many players. And you didn't lose just starters, but big-name guys like Rod Woodson and Chad Brown.' But look over the years, and our record speaks for itself." If nothing else , that record speaks for the consistency of coach Bill Cowher; the Steelers arc 7-3 for the fourth time in his six seasons, and they went on to win the division each of the previous three times. "I'm content with our record." wide receiver Yancey Thigpen said. "We feel like we ' re in the position we want to be in at this time of the year. We've got to go out and win some ballgames to put us in good position for the play- ' • 614 446-1276 . 614 992-550 don't know." Demers, considered a master at turning struggling franchises into winners, is learning fast. Tampa Bay owns the wor~t record in the NHL at 2-14-2. The Lightning have scored two goals or less in seven straight games and 14 of their last 18. And they have not led any game after two periods since opening night. Two goals by Tom Chorske led the Islanders. His shan-handed goal in the first period opened the scor- L (loss)," Cowher said. If that's the case, the Bengals must have· been one of the NFL's roo_st unfocused teams during a customllrily horrible 1-7 first half. They have since won two in a row, but one more loss dooms them to a seventh consecutive losing season. Talk about history repeating itself: Since 1991. the Bengals are 9-47 in the first half of the season and 23-27 in the second half, and they haven't made the playoffs since 1990. "If we can finish out the season on a great note, I'll be pleased," cornerback Ashley Ambrose said. "We' II have something to look forward tQ_next year, anyway." Bruce Cosier, promoted from interim coach after the Bengals put on a similar second-half surge (72) !ast season, hasn't begun looking to next year yet. But he chose rookie Corey Dillon (416 yards, S.2 average) as his starting running back over the oft-injured Ki-Jana Carter (407, 4.0), and he hinted he won't have much patience if slumping quarterback Jeff Blake falters early. Boomer Esiason came on to throw two touchdowns passes after Blake was injured in the third quarter of a 28-13 victory over Indianapolis last week. "It's all based on performance. " Coslet said. "If Blake plays poorly. Boomer will play." The Bengals also have been getting more production from former Sleelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau's zone blitz, with 13 Don, Pey ThoM Hlgll ~ .....

The S-foot·3 Arcaro rode his first winner at Asua Caliente, Mexico, on Jan. 14, 1932, arrd it was full stride from there into the Hall of Fame. Arcaro, noted for a smile arid a friendly manner, was a batlier In the saddle. In one famous episode, he was cur off by jockey Vincent Nodarse. Incensed, Arcaro caught up and cur off Nodarse, then saia .after the race thai he tried to pur the other jockey over the rail. · As a result, he had his license revoked in September 1942 arid was stili out of racing a year later when Mr.;. Helen Whitney, who owned Greentree .Stable, wroie a .letter to William Woodward, then head of The . Jockey Club. Mrs. Whitney, who was gravely ill, said in the letter: "I would like lo see Eddie ride agoin before I die." Arcaro and Nodarsc became great friends. Some of Arcaro's headline horses weren't easy to ride. One example was Whirlaway in 1941. "Whiriaway had a tendency to bolt when he was out in front, so the other riders figured I wouldn't go out on the lead ifl could help il," Arcaro said in recounting the Belmont ride that gave him his first Triple Crown. "I planned to go to the front with Whirlaway if the leader went the first half in a slow 50 (seconds). He did it in 49 4-5, and I shot my horse into the lead.'' He was in front by seven lengths and prevailed by 2·112 in field of four horses . . (See ARCARO on 8·7) .., 'rr •tallosuarot ..... et..

That's why Atlanta is faster Jdespire being nearly a mile sboncr .' than Daytona, which is slightly shoner than Talladeaa. 1 : Atlanta also gained speed by ' n:paving and its reeonliguralion from a pure oval to a trioval with a dogleg. That layout permits cars to carry more speed through the turns. Rain delayed the stan of practice on Friday until mid-afternoon, forcing NASCAR to postpone qualifying until today. Instead of two sessions to determine the 42-car field for Sunday's race, the entire lineup will be decided in one round of time trials. Labonte said he expects the polewtnning speed to be close to what he ran on Friday. "The weather is supPosed to be cooler, and I don't know if that will speed them up or slow them down on this truck," Labonte said. "The rain is a big setback for us because it washed the rubber off the truck and didn't allow the ARCA em to get out there and run and put more rubber .down, which would help the lire situation. 1 Far tha bast aalactlan In ..., - . l'ti.D... .., 111111,. pralr...,. .'' ~Y ··~~~ •·o.JiiPoll•, ---- ·-- OH• :Pol~·~rit~PI:••=..=ht.;!WY~. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~:!':a~·:·:,~~:;:tt:;r~~·!P:•~~~a:t~: . . . · ·. .. .·Terry.L~b9nte.: . c~~· ures, . pole for.sea.son-ending NAPA 500: .. .. at.

Division of Wildlife, told 42 members of the Gallia County Conservation Club that all deer hunters this year must pay special ~Uention to the new hunting rules for 1997, announced the opening of a handicap accessible fishing pier at Tycoon Lake in Gallia County and a proposal for a new boat launching faci lity on the Ohio River below Bladen. During the monthly meeting at the Gallia County Gun Club this week. Mike McConnell, Gallia County's wildlife officer, announced that the long awaited fishing pier at Tycoon Lake is now ready for use by handicapped .individual s, and work on other improvements will stan soon. The new pier is partially an earthen structure that anchors a floating pier out into the lake so uth of the .boat launching ramps . It is wheelchair accessible from the shore and offers safety features for those using it for fishing . This project was funded by the Ohio Dcpanment of Natural Resources and concludes month s of planning and construction. The officers also emphasized that for the upcoming deer-gun hunting season the state has been di vided into three se parate zones. Zone I includes those counties in north western and western Ohio, where only one deer can be taken. Zone 2 consis ts of so uthwestern Ohio, including Ross, Pike . Scioto and Lawrence co unties . In thls zone, hunters are permined to lake two deer. Zone 3 consists of 11 southeast· ern Ohio co untie s that includes Gallia, Meigs, Athens, Vinton and Jackson counties . Hunters in this zone may lake a third deer after purchasing a Zone 3 Anlerless Deer Permit. However, only one antlered deer per hunter is allowed for the entire season, but they may take lwo deer in one day, provided they anach a temporary deer tag to the first deer killed prior to hunting a second deer. Strongly emphasized by the offi. cers was that hunters who are after an antlered buck, must get it as the first kill. Not the second or third as their temporary tag is only good on a buck as the first kill. Hunters can avoid problems by carefully reading the instructions on the temprary tag. reading the 1997-98 Ohio Hunting Digest, or consulting a wildlife officer before heading into the woods. McConnell stated that all hunters who desire to purchase a third deer tag must show proof that they had Novllllblr 11, 1817 hadn 'l lost as many as two consecutive regular-season games since dropping three in a row in 1989.

Guest speaker for the meeting, Mark Hemming, the Cooper Hollow · Wildlife area manager, presented a program dealing with the wildlife conservation efforts by his group. The Cooper Hollow area itself is 5,421 acres, but they are responsible for an additional 4,000 acres includ· cd in six satellite projects that include Tycoon Lake. Hemming said that in addition to brush clearing, clear burning, wet· land management and assisting with projects in the Wayne National Forest his group engages in a program of trapping and tagging of wildlife to monitor movement, mortality rates and population growth.

(614) 446·0842 Galhpohs, Oh. Or Toll FrH 1·800·446-G842 n Garrison Keillor is alive and well while still .living. in where else - but b~autifUI frozen Minnesota By Dorothy Sayre Tlrnes·Sentlntl Contributor I caught up with Garrison Keillor this past summer al the Book Fesli· val in Edinburgh, Scotland. Actually, it was rather accidental and afforded me little opportunity to prepare for the encounter. However, as a long-time fan of his first "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show, I was elated. While a!lending college in Edinburgh for photo/journalism classes through Ohio University, I learned after the International Arts Festival began that Keillor was a scheduled speaker for the Book Festival por· tion. As a non-photography major, I fell behind in my college class.. An interview with someone as wellknown as Keillo,r could possibly insure a respectable grade. I became obsessed with thoughts of how to arrange a meeting. . Locating his hotel was a dead end as he wasn't answering the many messages I left. Keillor's popularity precluded me from buying a ticket. His perfonnances were sold out. My spirits •flagging, I trudged to the Book Festival site, which was a sea of tents set up in Charlotte Square. At the administration tent I inquired as to my eligibility for a pn:ss pass, and ·was told I could have one for Keillor's Monday night performance which was a special show with Scottish poet Valerie Gillies. I was to pick up my pass on Monday evening. ' I set out on Monday in ample time to collect my press pass. I did. n't want to look too American or ·amateurish with a backpack, so my 'indestructible, heavy Pelican camera cue with all-occasion lenses, and strobe, was clutched tightly in one hand. The bus route to Charlotte Square was etched into my brain. I felt confident of a timely arrival and better things to come, maybe even an A. The heavy, awkward case was (If 1ittle conseqUence at that moment. Perhaps the excitement was more stressful than I ·realized, because I stepped off the bus at the wrong stop! I was nearly 314 of a mile away from my destination. Unwilling to risk waiting for the next bus. I dash~d down the street trying not . lo knock over any of the numerous pedestrians with my Clllllcra case. A light rain began to fall as I jogged towards my goal. Panting, .! arrived at the administration tent with five minutes to spare. The unexpected shower had not helped my appear· ance. The lady in the adll)inislration tent explained, "No press passes thi~ evening, but if you'll wait outside, perhaps I can allow you to stand in the back." I was lucky. There was one empty seal atlhe back of the tent. I sat down seconds before Garrison Keillor stroc!e into the stuffy tent, which would have flunked air quali· ty standards. My first impression of Keillor was how physically· large he was ... broad-shouldered and several inches over six feet in height. The next impression was the back of his gray · suit jacket was badly wrinkled. He ·tWlled around and a frontal view was much tidier, except for a lock of hair that wouldn't slay atop his head. A blue shin, red tie, and black dress shoes completed his charcoal suit ensemble. He made a better appear· ance in person than on television or in photographs. Keillor looked younger. His hair was dark, with no sign of gray, and he is rather handsome in person. He began talking in his familiar, melodious, easy tone. I found myself wishina he would sing, "Hello, Love," from his early radio show, or that he would tell just one tale from Lake Wobegon. Instead, he and Scottish poet Valerie Gillies selected volunteers from the audi· ence. Using the participants' namea, limericks about the . person were composed with the audience's participation. I was impressed with Keillor's wit, humor and good taste. While one or two of the audience of over 100 people kept trying to inject a lillie spice to the limericks, Keillor artfully guided the words to non· • offensive humor. I could scarcely wail for a chance to interview him! Shortly before the end of the program, an ad for the "dry look" in hair care came gracefully stri~ing in with his camera. tripod, and a sweater lied over his shoulders. He moved deftly shooting photograph after photograph of Keillor. I felt any press privileges that might have been mine were being usurped by a sophisticated, well-groomed, professional. He obviouslv didn't even need a press pass! He looked so calm, cool, handsome, and profes· sional; it was disgusting! Surely the man had not had to run nearly a mile carrying all his photography gear. But, was that the way I was sur>posed to act? I'd been too polite to run atound pointing cameras while Keillor's event was in progress! The evening evaporated. The audience surged 10wards Keillor for autographs. I rushed forward and found myself saying. "Mr. Keillor, I'm Dorothy Sayre, the student who left you messages. Do you have time for a few questions later and may I take your photograph. Keiller answered to the affirmative and said to take all the pictures I wished. I don't remember changina lo iRy telephoto lenses but.ldid. I set every setting on my camera twice and adjusted tbe tilt of the strobe multiple times before I began shooting away. It was awful. I am short. Keillor is tall. There was nothing to stand on except folding chairs. As I have had previous fractures, and they were very painful, I stayed off the chairs. Every shot was pointing up. I wondered if I'd have 36 photos of Keillor's nostrils but I kept shooting. People wen: crowding around Keillor and I was tryins to shoot between autographs. The "dry look" ad was no place in sight but his tri pod remained set up close to Keillor. At one point I almost ran to the lri· pod to use it. But, of course, it was way too high! Was I holdina the camera steady enough? . Finally, the last person 'was leav· ing and I overhead KeillOr ask an unknown man to accompany him to hear a piper nearby.

She gave him a dollar and told him there would he more if he would go home with her and spend the night. Cartwright declined. He was an imposing man standing about 6 feet 4 inches. Another early handsome circuit rider who actually lived in Gallia County and preached at the Wesley Church in the Van Zallt settlement was James Gilruth. He was so strong that he once threw a 5 pound ax over the Court House in Ch~llicothe. He also carried two .100 pound barrels of flour at the same time. It is said that at one camp meeting Gilruth picked up off the ground two troublemakers. These early circuit riders were in some sense all odd lot. Besides being rugged frontiers.men, some of them were reformed drinkers. A few slipped back into that habit. Oddly one or two of these brothers preached much' better drunk than they did sober. The.circuit riders were brutally honest in those early days not only with panshioners but with one another. One Methodist preacher noted of a sennon given by his District Superintendent that the sennon was "both eloquent and pathetic." Some of the preachers were part showmen too. One in particular carried with him sulfur. When he preached on Hell, he would throw some sulfur into the fire. The resulting explosion would get the attention of all his listeners . Rev. VanZant's grandson James Van Zant who lived into his 90's inherited his grandfathe~s strength. He .loved wrestling. and even into his 60's was undefeated. James was also an excellent marksman and once killed a wolf from 300 yards using a double-bon: rifle. In the 1870's James built the largest home in the township. Some of the workers were worried that James would not have the funds to pay them. James reached into his billfold and pulled out some one thousand dollar bills. He said he reckoned thill he had it all covered. Into his 70's James could cut more wheat than almost anyone in the area. He used a grain cradle scyle that he made himself. After James' death in 1919, John E. Van Zanttook over the large Van Zant farm. John also was a strong man. He died atage 93 in 1943 after doing some work on his bam.

Western boots are available in every color, but black remains the most popular color, with brown-tan a close second. Dan Tormey, the owner of Liberty Western in Lebanon, Ohio, says the consumer should know what type of customizing he or she ;.,ants. "Some customizing is limited by the manufacturer's specifications," he says. "For instance, a particular boot may he available with room to choose a heel size or toe shape, but that's all. Then there are completely ' customized boots where you choose everything freely. " There arc several toe shapes to consider: e~tremely pointed "needle nose," slightly pointed, moderately rounded toe, rounded toe and slightly squared toe. To the uninitiated, all cowboy boots may look alike, but there are various sub-categories, such as rop~ ers, which have a rounded toe, flatter heel and shorter shaft of about 10 inches (cowboy boots typically have a 12- to 13-inch shaft); lacers, boots with a 9- to I 0-inch shaft that lace up; or buckaroo boots, a specialty model with a tall 18-inch shaft that's usually worn for period western dressing.

Simplistic in lleauty and possessing a lure that ~ncourages one to stop and admire, it also provides a tranquil backlround sound of water rushing over i:oncrcte. Visitors and village residents alike are drawn to the dai]IIO enjoy God's naturc and mans labors of •lorious splendor. They, .like Rev. Sallee, pause to view the local landmark. But for the minister the dain is reminder of both God's hood of i:reation - ond awesome power of a ~estruction. Dtlring the March floods the vi 1)age of Vinton was among the hard"'' hit areas in the state. Visited by :V.ce President AI Gore and numer:OUs stale and federal govemament :Officials, Vinton was declared a Fed;eral Disaster Area while the town ):OU!d only watch as flood waters ~slroyed houses, businesses, and ;~~ropeny. • Sallee's own home suffered :Severe damage, and his church :quickly filled with four and a half ;feet of water. : There was no time to save the ,nurseries or classrooms housed in •the church basement. As shepherd of :a flock. and in the capacity of presi~ent of the town council , he saw a need to minister to a huning community. Like a good shepherd, and a good servant, he quickly went to work. · As his church was being cleaned of the muddy remainder of the flood , it was turned into a Dishter Relief ~ Martha McComae, church :..Cretery at VInton Baptist ::Church, nominated Marvin :~lee for the ml..lon award. ..•• Center. When asked how long the church would be utilized. he quickly replied, "As long as there is a need." At that time Sallee had no way of knowing that for an incredible 16 weeks his church would feed meals to local residents and work crews or embark upon a rebuilding project. He could not have dreamed of the people that God would bring into his life - people from other pans of the country - other faiths - all unified in rebuilding this small community. Nor would Sallee realize God's plan for him - to be at the center of a faith journey that turned every day into a miracle . Eight months later the miracles sti'll occur - each unique - each offering help at the respective point of need. For Sallee's effons the delegates at the 172nd Annual Meeting of the American Baptist Churches of Ohio who gathered in Cincinnati in October, named him the "Mission Person of the Year for 1997". Nominated by his church secretary Manha McComas, and by community leaders, Sallee's story is a living example of being a servant of Christ to a huning world. The March flooding hit quickly, with Raccoon Creek soon bearing no resemblance to the lazy flowing stream that village residents knew. Vinton Baptist Church lost its heat pump and three furnaces, along with teaching supplies, and three nurs- · cnes. Members did manage to move kitchen appliances to safety. Soon the water filled the basement - with no time to save anything else. Sallee and his wife, Ethel May, saw their home fill with water. Located just yards away from the church, the basement flooding caused the fuel oil tank to ovenurn and the outside walls to fall in. The overpowerine odor of fuel oil filled tile house. The Sallees moved in with their daughter. Their house would have to wait - there was a community in need of help. When the Disaster Relief Service moved from the Town Hall into the churcl), Sallee and his congregation quickly began ministering to the many needs. The first meal the church fixed was for the National Guard. The left, overs would be served the next day to the community and work crews. But Sallee saw his flock, his neighbors, and the countless volunteers hungry and Jacking . the resources and ability to do anything · about it. The church would answer the cry. _ The church kitchen was being rebuilt by contractors, hut that didn't stop Sallee, McComas, and church member Kathy Marcum from opening the doors to feed the community and numerous work crews. Marcum worked with a group of four to five women daily in the preparation and serving of meals.

Anaya remembers hearing about "EI Bilito" in the endless storytelling sessions of his childhood. And it's one reason ·the Kid, whose blood seeped iniQ the Pecos valley 116 years ago, is the subject of an Anaya play being premiered here. Born' Oct. 30, 1937, in Pastura, N.t,ol., 20 miles west of the Pecos, Anaya says his parents put him on a sheepskin rug when he was a baby and surrounded him with various items. There was a saddle, a pencil and paper, among other things. He crawled to the tools of the scribe. Anaya, the Son of a vaquero (a cattle rancher); says he really didn't know he'd he a writer until he was a stUdent at ·the University of New Mexico. "In the elementary grades I really loved to· read, but then there seemed to be a span of time where that love that! had as a child was not nunured, and I had to wait 'til I wound up as an undetgrad at the university to get to - 'Wow!' - say, 'This . is great stuff!' You know, 'Where have I been?'.Reading everything I could get a hold of and going through all the literature classes." Anaya has just finished "Shaman winter," the final piece of a four-pan package of novels that began with his classic "Aihurquerque," which.takes place in springtime, followed by "Zip summer" and "Rio Grande fall.'' · "Shaman winter" no\AI is in the hands of the publiiher, Warner Books. , "Now we go through the year or two process (of) copy editing," ' Anaya says, "We're not expecting it until 1999."

Or maybe, "A Golden Sitcom Celebration, Starring Kelsey Grammer and Roseanne ... with Special Guests Mary Kay and Johnny Stearns!" The sitcom's big Five-0 arrives just weeks into a TV season gorged wilh more sitcoms than ever before. Consider: 62, on top of the half-century of sitcoms that preceded them. If you had a dollar for every one, you'd have almost as much money as Jerry Seinfeld earns from his. History's very first sitcom, predating "I Love Lucy" by four years and "The Honeymooners" by eight. premiered al9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 1947. "Mary Kay and Johnny" was created by and starred Mary Kay and Johnny Slearns. Like their sitcom doppelgangers, they were happy young marrieds building a life together in the Big Apple. But, more than that, they were TV pioneers beyond imagining. "I didn't realize the anniversary was coming up," says Mary Kay. Now 72, she lives with her husband in Corona del Mar, Calif. Once t!pon a time she was a winsome young actress who had moved from her native Los Angeles to Manhattan, where she fared well on Broadway arrd landed roles in summer stock- not to mention meeting and marrying a Boston-born actor named Johnny Stearns. ·Then she lucked into a sideline: Modeling junior wear on a weekly TV show sponsored by the gar- ments' manufacturer. "Television was just one of those things that you did to help pay the rent while you were looking for a real job in 1he theater," Mary Kay explains. But Johnny smelled polential. Now 81, he still remembers his pitch to.the sponsor: What about starring Mary Kay in a brand-new TV series, something a little splashier. with a cast of characters, a storyline, even a few laughs? "I said there are a lot of very successful domestic comedies on radio, but that nothing had ever been done like that on TV." Even radio's popular "Ozzie and Harriet," which featured the Nelson family light-heartedly playing themselves, wouldn't begin its long TV run until 1952. "We got the go-ahead to try one episode," says Johnny. "So I went back to our apartment in the Village. and I wrote a little script about a young married couple- WE'D only been married a year- and played it for comedy. " · The 15-minute " Mary Kay and Johnny" originated live on the . DuMont Network, and quickly proved itself not just a trailblazer, but also a hit, winning "several popularity awards from the lele fan mags," as Variety would note. Today no kinescopes of those broadcasts exist. But thanks IO countless sitcoms drumming similar themes in the decades thai followed, your mind's eye can now see "Mary Kay and Johnny" about as clearly as viewers once saw it on their Crosley set's 9-inch screen. Just picture it: Johnny worked at a bank. Mary Kay, a homemaker, was as cute as a button and somewhat of a screwball. Johnny had "brunet sobriety" while Mary Kay displayed "blonde vivacity," as a feature story put it allhe time. "The show hit very close to home,'' says Johnny, who would write all the scripts. "If Mary Kay one day got stuck in the elevator, well, it would give me an inspiration about us getting stuck in an elevator." Or maybe Mary Kay pretended to wow Johnny by playing her harmonica while, out of sight, a delivery boy actually performed the tunes. Or maybe Mary Kay 11oft the apanment with a cake in the lven, leaving the culinarily-challenged Johnny to finish the task. . "The program has an unforced q~ality of naturalness, which is its greatest asset,'' wrote Variety in a 1949 review. Indeed, the program's naturalness reached into the realm of procreation. When real-life Mary Kay was expecting, so was TV Mary Kay. "The whole program is based on our actual married life," Johnny remembers thinking, "so why not write the pregnancy in?" The blessed event occum:d Dec. 19, 1948. Mary Kay, who missed thai night's broadcast, had given birth to Christopher William Stearns b halfhour before airtime. Then viewers watched a comically anxious Johnny pace the waiting room, anticipating word of his newborn, who would also be a boy named Christopher. Thus did "Mary Kay and Johnny" predate the parallel pregnancies of Lucille Ball and "I Love Lucy'"s Lucy Ri'cardo. And unlike that series' TV son, who was played by a child actor. Christopher played his parents' child on TV from the age of 10 days. Mary Kay's second . pregnanct spelled the end of the series - that, · and 1he growing fatigue she shared . with Johnny.

Hogs are also plagued by lice and other parasites, as the pigs are raised closer and closer together. Lice and mange are continuing problems for pork producers especially in the winter months. Lice are capable of transmilling diseases such as swine pox throughout the herd. Ho~ lice arc bluish-black, bloodsucking parasites that feed exclusively on swine. They can be found in the hair, behind the ears, and in the folds of the skin. Damage from lice is primarily irritation, leading to resllessness, and decrerised feed intake and growth rate in growing-finishing pigs. Lice may survive in warm bedding' for twothree days, which often allows other pigs to be infected without actually coming in contact the host pig. Mange is a problem thai recirculales throughout the breeding herd. Sarcoptic Mange, being the f!IOSI common type· usually begins around the nose 11nd eyelids, and then move lo the abdomen. Mange is commonly introduced onto the farm by the introduction of new feeder pigs, or breeding animals. The best policy is to isolate all new pigs from the rest of the herd, until they can be treated for internal and external parasites. Pesticides used for .controlling mange mites on hogs will also control lice. During very cold weather, injectables, pour-on treatments, dust applications or oral larvicides can be used rather than sprays to prevent unnece~sary chilling of the animal. When using any pesticide, on caltle, hogs, or other livestock, follow the label directions carefully and pay close auenlion 10 any withdrawal or pre-slaughter requirements.

Installing a laminated flooring system ov_er_ your existing floor By POPULAR MECHANICS For AP Special Features If you're considering installing a laminated flooring system over your existing floor, here are some helpful guidelines: There are generally two different types of laminated flooring systems. which differ in how they are installed. Much of the three-eighths-inch thick flooring is glued to .the subfloor which, in thi5 case, is your old wood floor. (Always place the planks at either a 45 degree or 90 degree angle to the original flooring to prevent the old floor's natural expansion and con· traction from affecting your new floor). As an added bonus, the clas· . tic properties in the adhesive, like the . laminated wood's cross-grain con· . struction, also help stabilize the floor. Glued-down laminated flooring , comes in many different styles. including planks that arc 3 inches. 5 . inches and 7 inches wide. You can also find laminated plank flooring with pegs for added charm. Beveled edges create a· groove or channel between the boards, completing this old-time look. 'The other type of laminated wood flooring is called a floating floor sys· . tern. What this means, is that the lam· inated planks, usually about one-half· inch thick, are layered over a thin : (one-eighth-inch) foam pad. Other than the glue used to secure each tongue-and-groove plank 10 each other. no adhesive or nails are used. As its name implies, the floor literal· ly floats on its foam pad. The advantage this floor has over the gltiCd ones is that it is easier and quioker to install. Also, the foam can better bridge irregularities in the floor below (so it can also be installed over cement slabs, in basements for example). Floating floor systems usually come in relatively large pieces. One of the styles imitates the old strip flooring. Each piece is about 7 inch· es wide by 8 feet long, and looks like three strips of2 114-inch flooring put together. The sides and ends are , milled with tongues and grooves for easy, tight inslllllation. You 'II find. • too, that most floating floors are square-edged, rather than beveled. • If you're interest¢ in parquet, " take a look at some of the glued· • down fingerblock parquet Hoorings. 1 We n:commend using a very thin ~ · (one-quarter-inch) plywood overlay over the old wood floor. Since the original floor is going to expand and contract, gluing the parquet to ply· wood will make the new tioor more stable. Fingerblock parquet comes in different sizes. Many are solid wood, five -sixteenth-inches thick. Some common sizes include 6-by-6-inch and 12-by-12-inch squares.. Solid strip floors arc beautiful and longlasting, but installation is more time-consuming and difficult than laminated products. Although most of these products arc used in new construction, they can. if desired, be added over an existing wood floor. We must caution you, however, that this isn't' easy. Since solid wood flooring is usually thrce-quancr-inch· es thick, this added height can ca.usc some problems, especially if you can't· ·or d'on't want to- remove the old flooring first. If you choose this route, be prep~red 10 undercut doors and casings to make room for the new boards. · As far as cost is concerned, there isn '1100 much difference between the laminated and solid wood products, that is, if you do the installation yourselL So, really, your choice boils down to the·effort and time involved in the job. and the relative complications involved in raising the height of your floor.

Fot AP Speclltl Futuree Q: The hi;;'~oeffociency oil furnace in my home is vented to a flue in tbe chimney. When the furnace is oper· ati ng, the vent pipe gets hot and heat is lost up the flue. I've seen flue fans that are tem~rature regulated and mounted to a wood-stove chimney exhaust pipe. The fan turns on at a preset temperature, blowing across smaller pipes in file unit and sending a large amount of heat into the room. Would such a unit work on the exhaust flue of my oil furnace? · A: A heat-recovery system using a fan to blow air across tlie flue pipe could work. but it's generally not recommended. Such a system could extract too much heat from the flue gases, which contain water vapor, sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide (and other nitrogen compounds). If the gases get cool enough, the wiucr vapor will condense out of. the flue gas. and combine with the sulfur and nitrogen compounds. This condensate can cause corrosion in the flue pipe or in the furnace. Also, a low exhaust-gas temperature could affect the drart Ove,r the firebox and decrease tbe efficiency of the oil furnace. ·Q: A section of the horizontal-lap aluminum siding Ita$ loosened'around the waist of our two-story, IO,year- · old home. I've been told that the sid· ing will have to be taken down and reinstalled. I can't believe there isn't some way to remedy this without going through that kind of work and expense. A: We chetked with the technical department of tbe trad<: association of aluminum-siding manufacturers, the American Architectural Manufactur· er's Association (AAMA). The Association recommended tbe following repair procedure: I. Cut the panel that's above and adjacent to tbe loose panel along its entire length at a point just above its center. This can be done using a util; ity knife and tin snips. Then, remove and discard the lower section. 2. The nailed portion of the loose panel will now be exposed. Remove the loose, bent panel and replace it · with a new panel. Make sure to nail it properly at the top and then to sriap tbe bottom section into tiM! top lock of tbe si~ing panel below. 3. Remove the top lock of a new panel by deeply scoring it with a utii· ity knife. Bend the piece and snap it off. 4. Apply a heavy coat of gutter seal along the full length of the cut panel. ' 5. Install the new panel over the gutter seal. Tuck the top of the pan· el under tbe lock and snap the bottom lock in place. Be sure the gutter seal makes contact with the new panel. Apply pressure with your palm, but be careful n011o bend the panel. If you have further questions regarding aluminum siding, write to: Technical Infonnalion Center, AAMA. 1540 E.

He suggested three alternaiives: - Team up with electric utilities, which have their own fiber optic communications networks and financial power. - Buy its way into the cable television business, and use cable net· works to carry local phone calls. The cable TV business also enjoys gross margins in the 40 percent range, which is about twice as high as AT&T's current local resale strategy. "US West Media Group is up for sale. Why not buy that?" Adamik said. - Use wireless phone systems to bypass the Bell networks. . Small Business Strategies Getting the best people for your company By RHONDA M. ABRAMS Gannett News Service Zack. Rinat pulled out all the stops once he found the perfect person to tie vice president of sales for his hot Silicon Valley company, Net· Dynamics, an enterprise software business. Leaning on his most influential contacts, Rinat had them calr Killy Cullen to persuade her to leave a secure job and cast her fate with Net· Dynamics. Cullen was deluged with phone calls but still hesitated. "You've had everyone but your mother call me," Cullen told Rinat. Next day, Rinat had his mother call Cullen from Israel, with a personal approach. You can imagine her pitch on the phone, "Such a nice boy, my Zack; you'll like working with him." Cullen accepted. Rinat knows in today's business environment the key to a successful company is getting great people, and you've got to be willing to go the extra mile to secure them. It's often no longer enough just to give big salaries, stock options, and benefits, especially where talent is in great demand; one Silicon Valley company, Remedy Corporation, tempted prospects with tickets to see the Rolling Stones. When I list the ingredients of business success. I start with the essential elements: sufficient financing, an excellent product or service, and terrific marketing. But I've come to realize the single most important factor is the type of people a company starts with and can subseauenllv attract. Smart venture capitalists tell me this is also what they look for when judging which companies will prosper. "Companies are being forced to grow faster than ever," observes Mark Gorenberg, Partner in the San Francisco venture capital finn, HummerWinblad Venture Partners. "It's much harder to grow a company unless you have positions filled by top-notch people. The No. I mistake compani~s make is they skimp on the number of executives they hire and J. The push and pu/l .o f Transporting farm By ELLYN FEFIOUSON Gannett Ntw• Strvh;:e WASHINGTON - The summer started like most in farm country : Farmers rushed to harvest wheat, then soybeans and corn before the first snow, while folks at freight railroads strained to keep up w~th demand to get the harvest to market. By early fall, though, operators of overflowing grain elevators in some states in the Upper Midwest an4 West reported problems. They were piling millions of bushels on the giound, as the railroads fell bohiita and trains came days or weeks loiQ, People in rural (owns and agribusinesses blamed the shortage of rail cars and slow service on the merger between Union Pacific Rail· road Co. and Southern Pacific Trans· portation, the two mlljor freight line~ that ser.vc the We~t and Southwest. The new and sprawling Union Pacific issti!i adjustipg to new routes, new employees an4 a new culture, critics s~ld. The mcrjer qlso renewed fears lin asrlllusiness or bcins ol the mercy of a shrinking number of major carriers. But those who fqllow agriculture and railroads soy ttris year's clash between demand qnd supply was simply a variation of a recurrins con· flict between the two industries. "Agriculture lias faced (roil) car shortages for over I00 y~ars, " 1aid Phillip Baumel, profcsspr of agric11l· ture economics Ql Jowa Stole Unl· versity. Or as Wayne Seaman. Chief c~CQ· utive of aq Iowa cQoporatlve put It, "There will always l>e r•llroad prob· terns and rumors of r~llroad prob· they hire people who aren;t as excel· lent as they need to be." In small and new companies, CEOs often try to do too much them· selves, waiting too long to add key positions; and they may not work hard enough to secure the very best talent for top jobs. Even those of us who might ask an influential contact to help reach a potential customer or find financing rarely think to use our best connections as part of the recruit· ing process. "You have to work very hard to continues. "You need to hire people who are going to fortify and com· plement your strengths and also be able to challenge you and help you grow your company." While you might .be inclined 10 go for the candidate with 15 years of experience in your industry over the brilliant perfonncr from another field, Gorenberg advises to choose excellence over experience. "We've found you're typically better off hiring stars who can learn your markets rather than the other way around. Their startup time will be a lillie bit longer but their long-tcnn value to . the company is typically greater." But how can a young, small company persuade a "star" to come aboard? "Candidates look for the same thing investors look for," says Goren· berg. "A company with great products and a tight fit to market need. You've got to get them really excit· ed so when they wake up in the morning they think this is what they really wantto do. It's gotto be acorn- bination of an exciting opportunity and a good challenge. People want to do really exciting things, but they don't want to take a lot of risk. " And don't be afraid to be a lillie off-beat. Rinat didn't just have his mother call one prospeut. he's found other unusual ways to get a commit· ment. When his choice for Chief Financial Officer couldn't quite make up his mind to join NctDynamics.

That ended in October 1996. "Demand has grown at such a brisk pace, we can no longer afford to cover their share," said Michelle May, a spokesman at ODOT headquaners in Columbus. State law says.!hat excepl for freeways, ODOT is not responsible for street repairs inside municipal limits, ·even if those streets are designated as state highways. The law requires municipalities to maintain public streets within their limits and allows ODOT to repair them only if a local legislative body approves. But from 1991 10 1996, ODOT'provided one-fifth of road repair costs if local officials put up the rest from federal grant funds allocated to them. "We just wanted to help out the local governments, and at the time, we could," May said of the local government panicipation policy ODOTadopt· ed in 1991. Initially, that help cost the state about $3 million a year. Staning last year, • however, the cost jumped to about $7 million a year, May said. With ODOT officials saying that their budget for repairing freeways and rural roads soon will run a deficit. the dcpanmcnt no longer can afford to spend money on roads that are not its responsibility, she said. · Statewide interpretation of the poli cy change, however, has varied. May . said officials at ODOT's 12 di strict offices still might decide to provide the local match on a selective basis with money from their own budgets. · ODOT is not reneging on projects to which it already had promised funds as long as contracts are awarded by mid-2001. 01 APPIOVID lilAC CIIDI1' WASHiNGTON (AP) - For John Kasich, the first Ohioan in a decade to consider himself presidential material, there's good news and bad news on a magazine's Internet site with a record for predictipg winners. The good news: He's considered a serious enough candidate to make the · list on lhe " political oddsmaker" page maintained by Campaigns & Elections magazine. The bad news: At this stage in the preparations for the 2000 presidential contests, he isn 't in the top tier of prospects for the Republican nomination. The magazine, which says it had a 96 percent record of correctly p~icting the winners in last year's federal and statewide races , gives Kasich 40-to-1· odds of becoming his pany's nominee - to the obvious pleasure of aide Bruce Cuthbenson. " I'll take a piece of that'" said Cuthbenson, press secretary to the first Ohioan to mull a presidential bid since Democratic Sen . John Glenn made the attempt in 1984. Better odds were given to Jack Kemp and Texas Gov. George W. Bush (both 6-to-1); Colin Powell (9-to-1 ); Elizabeth Dole and Steve F.orbes (both 12•t9-l) Dan Quayle (15·to·l);'•l:ilmar Alcxal'lllertlll-to·· nn.ttssourl Sen. John Ashcroft\(25-to-1) and Sens.

Several roads were dosed for a time. . Like many pans of Ohio. the Cincinnati area got only a light coat· ing of snow. But icy roads caused dozens of accidents. including one that killed the driver of a car that slid into a Metro bus. AndreaS. Stevens, 29. of Mntlnt Washington died when her car span out of control and hit the bus. which By The Assocl•tecl Preas • A blast of cold and snowy weather was blamed for at least three deaths and hundreds of fender ben· ders in traffic accidents across Ohio over the weekend.

The driver and three passengers on bOard were not injured . Icy roads in Greene County were blamed for an accidcnr Saturday evening that killed two people. The patrol said a pickup truck slid across the dividing line and hit a car on an icy bridge over the Little Mia• mi River. killing two people in the car. Passenger Michael D. Rogers. 24. died at the scene. Driver Brandy M. Estes. 22. was taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, where she died Sunday afternoon. Their hometowns were not immediately available . A woman died from injuries sus· tained in an accident in Darke Coun· ty on Saturday evening that may have been weather·relaicd. Evelyn Miller, 61. of Montpelier. was a passenger in acar struck by a pickup truck on U.S. 127. She later died at Miami Valley Hospital. The National Weather Service reponed snowfalls across the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes,·anil up to 10 inches fell in the nonheastem Ohio snowbelt. ·A low-pressure systern moving across Lake Erie on Saturday was blamed for the snow. Scauercd snow showers dusted the state on Sunday with accumulations of less than an inch and highs mostly in the middle 30s. While the cold weather was expected to continue this week, forecasters weren't predicting more snow until at least Wednesday. Arab nations suspicious of Iraq voice support for U.S. position RIYADH. Saudi Arabia (AP) The Clinton administration's policy of coupling intense diplomacy with mililllry 'threats against Iraq is enjoying the strong support of four Arab countries that are the most wary of Iraq's .intentions, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says. Albright made the comment Sun· day during a whirlwind tour that took her to the Persian Gulf states of Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. "I would count this as a very good day for the United States and for what we are trying to accomplish here," Albright told reporters in Kuwait. All four countries have military ties to the United States ; all have indicated they would welcome a strength· ening of those relations during this period of uncert ainty. "These countries are in the front line ," Albnght said in !<uwait. " II • • •.. • • • Saddam docs not back down. they will be the first to be threatened ...
