Nov. 15 through the end of February is the nonnal ice and snow control season in Ohio. ··, Last year's 'season was average compared to other recent winters. ODOT used considerably less salt last winter than the year before. The department spent more then $24 million and used 357,430 tons of salt. In 1995.

Gary North, Ohio University's Vice President for Adminislration, said research is inconclusive. "'There are those who would argue that the woods would potenlially be damaged. Others, all with good scienlific credentials, believe mining would not cause significant damage," North said. "We believe it's too risky to take a chance because nobody knows." Ohio Valley extracts the coal through longwall mining. A machine moves along the coal scam, grinding aboul 3 feet deep per pass. The process continues until an area about 5 feet high, 750 feet wide and 2 miles long has been cleared. . S1ee\ shields that form a roof pro· lecting the equipment and miners move deeper into the mine panel as more coal is extracted. As the shields move forward, 1he ground above 1he panel eventuti)ly collapses, a process called subsidence.

But lawmakers signaled a will· inpcss 10 look at end-of-life care by ordering a one-year study of how well medical schools teach care of dying patients. That study by the General Accounting Office is due next spring. Meanwhile, advocates of improved end-of-life care are laying ~­ the groundwork for a nationwide lcibbyin& campaign. A new group, Americans for Better Care of the Dying. recently unveiled its plan to promote the Rockefeller-Collins bill, which it helped write, as well as push for state laws that make it easier for doctors to prescribe narcotics to ease pain. Doctors in some states are aft:aid to prescribe controlled substances. and medieallicensing boards .in other states discourage it. said Dr. Joanne Lynn, director of.the George Washington University Center to Improve Care of the Dying and president of ABCD. Rockefeller says the prospects for his bill are not immediately clear. For one thing, he is worried about criti· cism that the measu{e could be por· trayed as another road to the "slippery slope" 10ward assisted suicide and euthanasia, and he prefers to educate people first. ~, ...., Where To Turn - Bill Qulck•l EMS. unitS answer 7 ·calls prescribed for relief of chronic pain in patients with a life-threatening disease such as cancer. Recent studies have found that most Americans have not discussed end·of·life issues with their families or their physicians and have not relayed their preferences either ver· bally or in writing. Only about onequaner of pc;ople older than 18 now have advanced directives. "There is also an increasing awareness that physicians and many other health care providers arc uncomfortable addressing end-of-life issues and are eve9 apparently unwilling to respect their patient's preferences in some cases,'' Rockefeller said. "We need to have a national debare about the care of the dying," said Collins;whose grandfather spent 10 years dying from Alzheimer's disease but without any family discus· sion about his care. Rockefeller, Collins and others say better care forthe dying will virtually eliminate demand for physician-assisted suicide, which now is legal in one state - Oregon - and may be considered by others in the future.

'I for ammonium nitrate fertilizer : .wrapped around two $50 gold coins • and found in Nichols' kitchen draw- By JOHN MACHACEK Gannett News Service WASHINGTON - Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., vividly rememliers his anget 'at the way his mother, who spent I0 years dying from Alzheimer's disease, was treated. "The doctors at the hospital said they knew what they needed to do to make her comfortable, but they didn't,'' he said. "She had all the proper directives, but they didn't mean anything to the hosp.ital people." Matters got worse when Rocke· feller and his three sisters took her home. He recalls the family doctor ·breaking into "beads of sweat'' while trying to talk about about how much morphine or other palliative care he could legally administer under New York law. Motivated in part by that experience, Rockefeller seven years ago passed a law requiring that any health eare facility receiving federal funds must inform patients of their riaht to prepare advance directives, such as living wills and medical powers of attorney. · But with the debate over physi· ciao-assisted suicide focusing new attention on the need to improve end· of-life medical care. he has teamed up with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, to push legislation aimed at improving patients' access to compassionate, high-quality care. The Rockefeller-Collins bill, which got little notice when inlroduced Oct. 30, would make sure that dying patients get more information and professional counseling about end-of-life care planning. It also requires that advanced directives be placed prominen(ly .in a patient's medical chart so that doctors and nurses can easily see them. · Other provisions would: -Assure that an advanced direc· live valid in one state will be honored ~Y other states as long as it does not conflict with state laws. -, Direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop standards for end-of-life care and conduct pilot projecis on new approaches. - Require Medicare to pay for all self-administered pain medications Closing arguments set In Nichols . trial Gallia court news POMEROY - Units of Meigs Emergency Services answered seven calls for assistance on Friday.

By GEORGE GEDDA Aa80CIItted Pr.u Writer by Bob Hoeflich A heavy problem was lifteil from Robin Dorst of near Chester Thursday when her wallet was found. Robin felt that she had lost the wallet containing over $700 and a lot of necessary papers in the area of Kroger's on Monday. The money was what she had set aside for Christmas. Family members had searched and searched everywhere they could think of for the wallet, but no luck. However, Thursday it was found on the floor of. the back seat of her father's automobile, and Robin is delighted. No one was able to comprehend how it got there, but the biggie is that it has been found, and the money and papers were all intact. Robin feels as though her prayers have been answered. One can only marvel as the numerous unfamiliar instruments Myron has assembled and learned to play during his presentations, which are booked all over the country.

WASHINGTON - The State Department concedes its made mistakes during the 1993 background check of major Democraticfund-rais· . er Larry Lawrence, the late arnbas· sador who lied about serving in the Merchant Marine during World War 11. As a resul! of the Lawrence case, the State Department will review procedures for security checks of senior appointees. Spokesman James Foley said Fri· day that a weeklong review concluded that Lawrence was a full-time stu· dental Wilbur Wright Juni or College in Chicago from September 1944 to June 1945 and was not a Merchant Marine volunteer, as he had previ ously claimed. Other offi cials rejected speculation Uiat Lawrence received prefer· entia! treatment during his background check as a result of his role as one of the largest donors to the Democratic Pany. In reviewing Lawrence's rec ord in 1993 for a security clearance , departmen! diplomatic security personnel did not pick up the discrepancy between his claimed wartime service and a college transcript noting he was a student in Chicago at the time, offi. cials said. l.;awrence was given a security clearance to become ambassador to Switzerland and served there until his death in 1996. Based on Lawrence's claim that he was wounded in action near the end of World War II, he was deemed eligible for a waiver and w~ buried at Arlington National Cemetery. After Republican investig~tors touched off a political furor by uncovering Lawrence's false claims last week, his widow asked that his remains be reburied in San Diego. HisbodywasexhumedonThursday.

Fidel Castro's government hopes a successful papal visit will help enhance its image abroad and demonstrate its tolerance for religious practioe.

The Vatican said today the pope will meet with Castro in Havana on !an. 22, a day afte~ John Paul arrives i)l Cuba. · As preparations intensify for the five-day visit, both sides have dow~­ played their differences and made concessions for the sake of harmony. The government already has 'agreed to accept scores of new foreign priests and nuns to help over-. worked Cuban priests. And it has allowed the church to carry its message outdoors through a series of widely publicized Masses that have attracted thousands of Cubans. Authorities also have announced that the government will provide pub- lion lie transportation to papal Masses and grant the church air time on state-run radio and TV- though Cuba's Cardinal Jaime Ortega said such access had been far less !han he would like.

Cardinal Ortega says the stakes posed by the pope's visit arc high. "The go.vemment of Cuba has accepted before the world the ehal· lenge that ll)e papal visit represents and the pope, too, has accepted that challenge by visiting Cuba," he told a recent news conference here. With international auention focused on the island during the visit, the government can ill-afford any embarrassment to the pope.

Here is a player who has already been named Mid-American Conference player of the year, a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and has scored a touchdown in each of his 27 college games; however, he doesn't seem to rate with the glamor boys of Division I programs: Peyton Manning .of Tennessee, Charles Woodson of Michigan, and Ryan Leaf of Washington State. These were the three players ESPN had been pushing in their promotion. Naturally, all of us know Moss wouldn't get the award, but to omit him after • all he has accomplished seems disrespectful to the player and the school. But the media has attempted to give the award to Peyton Manning for quite some time. Manning and Heisman seem to have been interchangeable ' terms for the past IWO years. He plays for a high-profile SEC program at •Tennessee, and is the son of a famous quarterback. He has also had a won. derful career. So I guess it's natural to as.•ume that a wide receiver in the MAC just can't win the Heisman, just like it's natural that a running back from Jack, son State named Walter Payton couldn't do so 20 years ago. Moss, like Payton, will show his value at the next level. NFL scouts aren't as high on Manning as Moss, because Moss will have an immediate impact on the league. Manning, primarily because of the demands of the position, will take a few years to develop into a professional quarterback. ' Speaking of disrespect, Marshall seems to have become the Rodney Dan,- gerfield of Division I football.

Yet Baldwin argues so well that Van Buren is forced to use presidential power to influence the case: first by replacing the judge, then by reversing the decision when his own selection rules against him. The ·case winds up in the Supreme Court, where former president John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins) argues the case on behalf of the imprisoned Africans. But Spielberg is less concerned with the nuts and bolts of the plot than of the human underpinnings of this historic moment. Though the dramatic turns the case makes inspire heated emotion- both from the characters and the viewer Spielberg focuses on the personal journey that several of these historic figures take. Chief among them are Baldwin, Adams and Cinque, each of whom must drop preconceptions to truly see who his allies are and what is in the same problems with .. Amistad" their heana. Cinque must overcome a distrust of ~bite people - and break through the hl;rrier o~ Janguage. Baldwin, batdmg a stmilar communication barrier, must over· come his sense of superiority and recoghizc.

Yet, as much as these characters debate the issues of alavery, human rights and states' rights (In the script by David Franzoni and an uncredit· .. ed Steve Zaillian), Spielberg makes h~s strongest arguments through v1suals alone. Spielberg spoke elo· quently of filmmakers' need to get back to the word when he received a Thalberg award 10 years ago. Yet it is imagery that is most eloquent here. It's hard to avoid the impact of those images: of Cinque's raw fin •. ge!ll relentlessly worldng to extract a: nail from a board in order to free himself, the startling visual that: opens the film. Or the visceral moment of Cinque, bombarded by rain, running one of his captors through with a cutlass. Critics may, in fact, find some of aa they did with "The Color Pur· pie": Spielberg's tendency to bathe significant momenta in golden light, to beatify his heroes while making his villaina dark, forbidding person· ages. . ~et Spielberg rmda the shadows m hiS llerocs - Cinque's tendency to give in to rage when he can least atrord it, Baldwin's self-doubt.

The result is a film that infuses its ! sense of self·rlghteousness w.ith enough ambiguity 10 keep it frorn ileeming one-sided. Spielberg han· dies the material with a sure hand and gives it the power you would expect, making "Amistad" an important film that also holds the viewer with its dramatic ,power.

Remember that time in the market is important,--nottiming. Even diversified investment portfolios can lose ground in a bear mar· ke1, and it's easy to be tempted to sell all your stock funds and move to money market accounts to wait for beuer times. All you have to do then, the reasoning goes, is move back into stock funds on the day the stock markel begins its reCQvery. The pfoblem is, nobody knows when that day will be. And if you miss gelling back in at the right time, you can lose a huge portion of your profits. Invest in bad times and good. One of the 6cst ways to invest rcgularly is dollar cost averaging. . This strategy calls for investing the same amount at consistent intervals, such as once a month or every quarter. With this approach, you don't have to try to guess which way the financial markets will move-and you wori't be waiting around for the perfect time to buy. •: Although is doesn't guarantee Jt profit or protect against a loss, dollar cost averaging is also one way to take advantage of a down market. Since you are investing regularly, you end up buying more shares when the price is down. Instead of seeing a down market as a disaster, view it as an opponunil}' to bu~ good companies. at lower price• through your mutual funds . Of course, to make this strategy worki you have to be willing to continlje making investments when stoqk prices are declining and stock mat: · ket news is negative. ;Focus on great companies.

By POPULAR MECHANICS For AP Special Features Q: What is the best way to control weeds and lawn pests? A: You can remove a few weeds by hand, but judicious usc of hcrbtcides is m order if there are lots of weeds. The leaf structure of the weed determines the type of herbi cide you use. Broadleaf weeds, such as dandelions and blindwccd, arc treated with a broadleaf herbtctde applied after the plant'is up and growing. Grasslike weeds, such as crabgrass. foxtail and goosegrass arc best treated with a pre-emergent that ts applied in the early spring. bCforc the weeds have a chance to sproul. Grassy weeds can also be treated after sprouting with a liquid crabgrass ktller- but only when the plants arc very young When using a dry, or granular. broadleaf herbicide, wet the lawn before spreading. The herbictdc wtll adhere to . the leaves, and the plant will absorb it more readily. Allow several days be(orc watering again. When applying. a liquid herbicide: simply spray it on and then avoid watoring 11 for several days. Pre-emct]Cnl herbicides, by contrast, do their work below the surface. or wall lramlng.
