REED Sentinel Newa Staff Changes in the way prescription drugs are purchased and the price that county employees pay for them were considered when ihe Meigs County Commissione" met in regular session on Monday afternoon. David Jenkins of the Meigs County Department of Human Services, who heads a committee of county employees examining lhe counly's self-insurance program, met with the board to discuss possible cost-saving measures for the plan. The plan, which provides insurance to county employees, has bun the subject of examination by the committee due to ongoing financial difficulties that threaten its solvency.

John A. Carey announced Monday lie will seek a third two-year tenn in the House of Representatives. "1 am very proud to represent the 94th District and look forwiiiif 'ttl more jobs and prosperity for our region," the Wellston Republidh · said. The 94th District includes Gallia, Meigs and Jackson counties, and eastern Lawrence County. Carey, who said job creation has been one of the priorities of his tenure in the House, noted that it remains a critical issue as welfare reform measores to get recip.ients off public as.sistancc and inco the workplace take effect. "One of the lhings I've been concemed about is welfare reform, which needs to be done, but I'm also conccmed about job development, because we have to have jobs available for people when lhey get off wclfare," he said. To that end, Carey said he's been pl.eased with !he development of industrial parks in Gallia and Meigs counties since he first look office in 1995.

In several instances, the commissione" have been required to infuse funds from the county's general fund into the claims fund in order to pay claims. The county's actuarian, who examines the plan each year, has recommended increases in employee premiums for die past two years, but no increase has been instituted. This fall, a premium increase of 21 percent was recommended in order to keep the plan sol vent. The phin spent $130,000 for pres~ription drugs last year, for which employees paid $5 for each namebrand prescription and $3 for each generic prescription. Jenkins and the committee has recommended an increase in employee cost lo $15 for brand name and $5 for generic prescriptions. · · ' Those proposed cost increases would serve two purposes, Jenkins said. First, they would supplement the plan's coffers, and second, would encourage employees to purchase generic prescriptions when possible. According to Jenkins' report, 10 employees in the pljl!l, out of 180 participants, purchase 30 percent of the total drugs covered. Commissioner Janet Howard said she would be in favor .of requiring employees.to pay I00 percent of the cost of a name-brand prescription when a generic is available, but Commissioner Fred Hoffman said he was opposed to such a proposal'. Changing the drug premiums for employees would save the plan $6,5()() while allqwing for a 13 percent increase in drug costs, Jenkins said.

Carey has introduced a bill proposing that a school district's wealth be determined more by income than property tax valuation. That bill addresses concerns for the Gallia County Local Schools, which has a high lax value due co the two power plants siced in its dislrict, but also has a significant number of lowincome residents.

One was his almost childlike bluntness. I slaved for months over the 1992 State ofthe Union Address. toying to make sense of differing diktats from various worthies at the White House. I asked Bob's help, but as he surveyed my handiwork. he looked up and said, ·straight· faced, "This isn't veoy good, is it?" In any event, Bob found a true home in Columbus. He quickly became a first-rate editorial writer. He also seuled down. ·He go: mar: ried, and earlier this year he and his wife conceived a child. They headed off to Aorida in October for a vacation at the home of an old White House pal .. one of the legion with whom Bob had stayed in contact. Just four days before he and his wife were due to sign the papers for a new house, a rip tide pulled Bob from shore and to his death. I kept his obituary on my desk for weeks, staring at his picture. The whole thing haunts me still. Bob died at the age of 35: He never got 10 know his baby. He never got to develop his considerable skills. He lost his life in an accident so senseless and weird that even the most righteous man would wonder aloud about God's justice and mercy. Nonnan Ture cast a different kind of lighr on Washington . He was one of the town's happy revolutionaries. Norman ran the Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation and understood the arcana of tax law and taX economics better than anybody I have ever known. Like Bob, he delighted in the people he encountered. He had served as a top Treasury Department official during the Reagan years, and played a key role in making the Reagan revolution possible. Nortnan understood the nature of political combat -· its viCiousness and pettiness. But he liever got mad. He got amused. Norman was a devout Catholic, and his faith sustained him not men:ly through the withering criticism he endured during the Reagan interregnum. It also helped him adjust to the fact of impending death. He didn 'I t~ll many people about his illness, his secon? tiff with cancer. He took treatment in a hospital and then spent the last four months of his life at home, surrounded by his family I • and a few friends. I have an enduring image of Norman. I had been in Washington all of two weeks when he invited me over to his office to meet his staff. He seated himself at one end of a huge conference table, and put me on the other. We all talked for nearly two hours -- about heaven knows what. But I do remember one thing: His laugh. Noonan presided over the gather- · ing like a father at a bumptious din· ncr table. He ·kept the conversation moving. He made sure' to include eveoybody. His staffers adored him, and he rewarded their devotion with love of his own. Few men in this town' have made a greater mark on our nation 's economic fortunes, and few have done so as humbly. And in Washington, humility is a thing more often feigned than practiced . Most Americans will think of 1997 as the 12 months in which we asked: "When 's the action going to start?" Bul I will recall it also as a year in which I lost two dear friends .. unpretentious men who expressed themselves through deeds as well as words and taught their friends how to walk a path of righteousness without giving in to self-righteousness.

(AP)- It's official : All -America runntng back Curtis Enis 1s leavtng Penn Stale to )nter the NFL draft. • Enis, a junior from Union City, ~hio, was suspended by coach Joe :Paterno for the Citrus · Bowl after :accepting a suit from a sports agent to wear at an awards·show. In 1ssu,ing an apology for his actions Mon;day, Enis also revealed h1s decision -to turn pro. : "I would like to begin by apolo:Sizing to my family, teammates, "coaches and fans for recent events," Enis said. "I made a mistake and I accept full responsibility for my ;actions. , "However, I did not want to hun tpenn State Univers1ty in any way or -the people that have heen so influen~al in helping me achieve my goal of :!'laying major college football. I am going II! forego my senior season at ,Penn State and enter the 1998 NFL :draft." • Enis, who rushed for I ,363 yards )nd 19 touchdowns, violated NCAA ;tules when he took the suit from "'gent Jeff Nalley. Ems also lied to :t'aterno about it. : Last week, Paterno announced !fhat Enis would not play in the New :Year's Day bowl against Aonda. • "As coach Paterno indicated last :week, he and Curtis .were planning to 111 down after the bowl game, and at othat point Coach was going to recilmmend to him he forego his senior year.

"Before the recent incidents took place, " Enis said, "coach Paterno, who has always looked out for my ,;.,, interests, advised me to tum pro.

Also Monday, a Pennsylvania slate senator called for the prosecution of Nalley, who might have violated state law when he purchased the suit for Enis. "We see players and schools paymg the pnce for rules violations. The uneth1cal sports agents should not walk away from the mess they create," Sen. Rohert Juhelirer said Monday. Juhelircr, a Penn State alumnus who serves as Senate president pro tern , wrote to state attorney general M1k<'Fisher and Cumberland County district attorney Skip Ehert calling for Nalley's prosecution. The senator pointed to a little-used 1988 Pennsylvania law that makes 1t illegal to "give, offer or prom1se anythtng of value to a student athlete ... be ~ore the student athlete's eligibility for collegiate athle11cs expires."

MIAMI - No one was supposed to care about the Carquest Bowl. But Joe Hamilton did: Georgia Tech's sophomore quarterback rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another during the Yellow Jackets' 35•30 victory over West Virginia on Monday night at Pro Player Stadium. The game featured little hype, national auention or exposure. Most of the pregame calls on the Miami radio station thai carried the game were about the Miami Dolphins. The game was televised not by a major network, but by cable station TBS. Hamilton received the Most Valuable Player award, a bronze-colored trophy that already had his No. ·14 engmved on it. "It's a great feehng, just a great feeling," &aid Hamilton, who rushed for 82 yards on 14 carries and completed 19 of 36 passes for 274 yards. "We got up, and we didn't get complacent hecause we knew West Virginia was here for a reason. We dug it out and made the plays in the fourth quarter thai we needed."

An announced crowd of just 28,262 fans, most of whom wore West Virginia's blue and yellow, sporadically filled the stadium, which -has a capacity of 73,000. They went home disappointed. And the Yellow Jackets went home elated, especially after having lost their regular-season finale at home 10 Georgia in the final eight seconds; "For us, it was a big win," Georgia Tech senior wide receiver Harvey Middleton said. "We lost our last game at home, and we wanted 10 come out as winners." Hamilton and his teammates preserved the victory by geUing two first downs in the final 3:49. Hamilton's 16-yard run for a first down allowed him to run out the clock on the Mountaineers, who fell to 7-6. Georgia Tech finished with a 7-5 record. "The last minute, he got the first downs we needed," Middleton said of Hamilton. "Those were probnbly the biggest plays of the game." Georgia Tech opened with a ISplay, 80-yard drive in which it converted twice on fourth down, including a one-yard touchdown run by freshman fullback Ed Wilder. The Mountaineers wasted no 11me with retaliation. Sophomore tailback Amos Zereoue scored on a 14-yard run. But the Yellow Jackets took over for the rest of the first half. On the ensuing possession, Hamilton eluded two West Virginia defenders with a spin move and sprinted up the middle for a 30-yard Correction Abdui-Jabbar faces criminal charges in mini-mall attack J2.000 The Dally Sentinel • Page 5 Georgia Tech beats WVU 35-30 in Carquest Bowl MAC hardwoOd actiOn continues IN PURSUIT of the loose b88ketballla Ohio State'a Jon Sanderson, •• teammate Neahaun Coleman (3) and New Mexico State's Louis Richardson look from a distance during the first half of Monday nlghra Rainbow Clasalc tournament game In Honolulu, where the Buckeyes lost 73-46.

But the vast majority of consumers have seen little in the way of lower rates. Instead, cable bills have skyrocketed an average of four limes the rate of inflation while local phone service rates have held steady. Consumers have seen calls at many pay phones increase to 35 cents from 25 cents, and some - those wtth two or more phones hnes - can expect to see a new charge slllrling in January to pay for connecttng schools and rural hospttals to the Internet. Rather than spark competition among local and long-dtstance telephone compantes and cable TV system>. the law largely has produced mergers and buyouts between like companies: Bell telephone compantes. have bought other local telephone systems, and cable TV compantes have bought other cable TV compantes Gene Ktmmelman, .,Washington off1ce co-director for Consumers Unton, said consumers "are getting hn nght and left wtth rate mcreases. Very few of the benefits that were promiSed w1th thts landmark law have come through. "And most of the relaxed regulalion appears to have resulted in concentration of ownership, higher pnces and less choice for consumers." It ISn't all gloomy. LOng-distance costs - already competitive before the new law - decreased some as more compantes got into the fray. And for be!ter-off consumers, pnces for wtreless telephone service- both digttal and cellular- have dropped. But overall, the htghly touted 1996 Telecommuntcattons Act hasn't performed to expectations.

"The government is likely to say that he's not crazy, he's evil. And even if he had mental problems, he had enough brain power to know what was right and wrong," Levenson said. "Maybe the reason he's not coopcrating is because the 8!lvemmcnt could get a psychiatrist to say definitively that he's not crazy.'' Public defenders Quin Den vir and Judy Clarke have said they believe Kaczynski suffers from paranoid schtzophrenia, an illness marked by delustons and a persecutton complex. They first gave nottce of the plan for a mental defect defense last June. Defense experts w~o exammed KaczYnski before he began resisting all such inquiries said his insistence that he ts not a mental case supports the theory that he is indeed sehizophrenic One of his own lawyers has called Kaczynski "a high functioning schizophrenic" whose elevated mtelligence masks a deeply troubled mmd. Newly released transcripts of pnvatc meetmgs !Jetween the defendant, his lawyers and U.S. Distnct Judge Garland Burrell Jr. dtsclosed that Kaczynskt had been writing to the judge complaming about disputes with hts attorneys. "There are times when lawyers and clients have communtcatton problems," the JUdge said during one of the pnvate mcetmgs. Denvor told the Judge: "This ts obviously a major problem," and satd the JUdge needed to explore wtth Kaczynski "where to go from here." "We are all very unhappy and sad to be tn thiS position, but we are in the posttion," tM attorney said. · "We have to do, I guess, what we can." Burrell asked Kaczynski at one pomt if he wanted to add anything. "I satd everything in my letters and m what I've just satd now," he responded. "That's all I have to say , for the moment." Most of Kaczynski 's remarks were sealed by the judge who Cited attorney-client confidentiality. Even prosecutors have not seen that pan of the transenpt, and on Monday they asked for access. They are concerned whether the Judge made an adequate mquiry into Kaczynski's desire to fire his lawyers and to assure that he was now willmg to proceed wtth them. "The government has an tnterest in ensuring that the record is not tainted by error that could undermtne the val1doty of a conv1<;11on," prosecutors satd Opent ng statements are scheduled for next Monday, and unhke most high profile trials, this one begins with all panics tacitly assuming that Kaczynskt wtll be coovtcted. The assumption is so strong that the defense made an II th hour bid for a plea bargam. They took their offer to U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno's death penalty review commtttee, suggesting that Kaczynski plead guilty to the charges against him in return for a lite tenn tn prison wtth no chance of parole. Under their scenario, the death · penalty would not be sought. The government refused. "The government holds all the cards," Levenson satd. "There was nothing new for the defense to offer."

"For him to have been injured lhat seriously and not be inlellectually or physically disabled today is nothing less lhan a miracle," she said. Others have not been so fortunate.

The prize went 10 Monen Lund Madsen. 1a 23-year-old Dane . lb Lundby won 'the journalist award . Monen and his 'elder brother, Lars, were the main'stays of the Danish team thai won the :world Junior Championship last year. This deal occurred in Denmark's rltalch against Brazil. At both tables, Soulh was in 1h~ 'no-uump. The Danish declarer had an easy time when he received. a diamond lead from West Maybe Morten's nickname is now Hercules, excepl that to defeat the contracl he ·had 10 perfonn only five labors, not 12. The first labor was 10 lead a bean, which gave n01hing away. Declarer won in the dummy, cashed the diamond ace and continued with the diamond queen. Morten ducked : labor two completed. Now declarer ran dummy's club 10. Monen ducked ag~in: lhe third labor was over. The second dub wenl to Soulh'sjack and ·west's queen; back came a hean. Declarer won in hand and lod a low spade, Monen playing the jack (labor four). After winning with dum, my 's queen (Lars helpfully dropping the I0), declarer called for the spade ace, but Monen was ready, unblocking his king. This was the fifth and final labor. The conlraet was history. Fpr those of you wilh some lime, see if you can work oul how to make three .no-uump even after lhe bean lead.

(API - New tools aid fight against deadbeat parents t5 SPEED, AIR , P/MNDOWS, ~~:.:.'~: ~·~"'- $14,990 :cOLUMBUS(AP)-Astate law that takes effect next week will make it easier for agencies to track down people who owe child support and collect the cash. . But not all officials are looking forward to the paperwork the new law could create. Under the new Jaw, all public agencies and public utilities must provide addresses and other infonnation that will help a child·suppon agency find deadbeat parents. Employers also will have to register new hires with the state. Currently, the state requires companies with 25 or more employees to regis· tet. Using such data, Franklin County found more than 9,000 people last year who owed suppon. As small companies begin regis· tering their employees, that task will become easier, said · Heath MacAlpine, deputy director of the ' Franklin County Child Support Enforcement Agency. "The smaller companies are where more jobs ~n: being created," MacAlpine told The Columbus Dispatch for a story published on Tiles· MSIIIZP 4X4, 4 DOOR, AUTd, AIR, PJWINDOWS, P/lOCKS, ALUM.

' . • The nature of any organization which might be char11ed with operating the home was not discussed. Earlier this month, the commiuee issued a written recommendation thru the commissioners expand services to those needing more specialized care, including psychiatric p;ilients and clients of the local MR!DD board. Prosecuting Attorney John Lentes said that such proposals are not in the county's best legal interests. "A policy needs to be made," Lentes told the committee and commis· sioners: "There are good reasons and bad reasons for keeping the county home open as it is operating now, but the proposals submitted (last week) can~ at work under any circumstances." Citing the need for medical, security and nutritional staff if services are expanded, Lentes noted that a liability problem would increase if such services were made available under the county's auspices. "These are 'pie-in· the sky' ideas," L.entes said. "lRe county would be sued in the matter of a day." Review of '97 events concludes with look at last four months .

Meanwhile, Howard said that a 9()..day appropriation would he made for the home's operation .in the general fund budget, and members of the com· miuee will investigate the possibility of a private organization operating the home, either with public funds or without, Howard said. Howard did not say that the process of finding other accommodations for current residents would cease during the interim 90-day period, and did not indicate that new residents might be accepted. "We should not he in this busine~s." Howard said after the meeting. "As I see it, other agencies, such as the Depanment of Human Services and the Meigs County Council on Aging are better equipped to provide services to those in need. . "As faras I'm concerned, privatization ofthe county home is the best solution," she added. · Witnesses ·recount bombing horrors· USED TRUCKS • USED TRUCKS • U·SED TRUCKS • USED TRUCKS ;:~.~~ 2 SecUons, 16 PagM, 35 centa A Gannon Co.

"We 've had a lot of problemsthey were not honoring our withholding orders in the past," Joe Pilat, director of the county child support . agency, said of the bureau. The custodial parent may get up to half a person's unemployment bene· fit. And in a year ortwo, when Ohio's computerized tracking system goes online, a child-suppon agency will be ablc1o freeze the savings accounts of deadbeat parents and withdraw man· ey. 1Re law also authorizes counties to revoke more than 140 kinds of professional licenses- including those of barbers, doctors and lawyers. Cur· rent law requires an agency to prove t~at the licensed person has failed. to comply with an order. 1Re new law allows agencies to revoke the license if the professional is uncooperative and refuses to comply with warrants or subpoenas. County agencies also will have broad power to attach liens to propeny owned by a nonpaying parent. But that has led some recorders and common pleas court cl~rks to ask for limits. . Franklin County Recorder Richard Metcalf said the intent may be good, but that the law could create headaches for consumers and his office. "Anytime anyone buys a used car, furniture ... anything from an individual, they will have to check here to see if a lien has been placed on the item," Metcalf said.
