CUT BACK ON CLEVELAND -'-A judge must decide whether to end 22 years of courtordered desegregation busing in the Cleveland school system, Ohio's largest. · Last January, the city and the ciiy school board asked U.S. Disttict Judge Robert Krupansky to end busing. Almost.one year later to the day, the state tiled a similar request. For Lucille Short, a school volunteer who has custody of four grandchildren in city schools, busing hasn't worked but ending it wouldn't help much, either. Short, a member of a district-wide council that advises the superintendent, said she and other black parents wanted educational equality to emerge from the lawsuit that led to busing. _ ~ Instead, she said, children of every color now face busing with children from the heavily black east side doomed to cross-town busing even without a court order because many aging inner-city schools have been closed. A further issue,.Short said, is the difficulty of integrating a school system in which three of four children are black. "I was not for busing in the fiJ;St place," Short said. "I was for equal opportunity, equal education: the same teachers, same materials." " · With the loss of white students amid "white flight" in response to busing Short said, "How ate you going to desegregate an 80 percent African~erican school pi>p,ulation?lt's becoming a big farce.", The 73,000-student s;vstem says the black enro~lment as closer to 72 pe~­ cent, but Short volunteeJ:S m the schools almost daily and feels 80 percent IS spokesman .responded that it was about the correct.

He said that includes protecting Medicare to assure health care for the elderly. He said that while a balanced budget is needed because it is wrong to leave children a legacy of debt, it is equally wrong to strip society of the buttresses it needs to make life worthwhile. Responding for Republicans, Senate Republican leader Bob Dole appealed to conservative Democrats to form an alliance on the budget with the GOP. "I hope ... we can put partisan politics aside and reach an agreement that will balance the budget," Dole said. "But if the president won't agree to balance the budget, Republicans will welcome •support from Democrats who share our determination to win the fight for America's ·. future." Early Saturday Clinton signed Republican-crafted legislation to restore the jobs and pay of threequarters of a million government workers while he and Congress negptiate how to balance the federal budget. All 280,000 furloughed federal workers will return to their jobs under the measure that cleared Congress on Friday. Those employees, and 480,000 others who ha'i'e worked without pay since the shutdown began Dec. I 6, will receive full current and retroactive wages. But the measure provides pay for the affected workers only through Jan. 26. The date served ·as a warning by Congress' majority Republicans that a new shutdown would begin ifthere's no agreement by then on a plan to balance the budget in seven years. The government reopening carne just in time for Washington tourists . such as Sam and Marcy Stein of Montreal, who planned with ~ir , two children a fuiJ day at public • museums that had been shuttered. "We w~re here in '82 and we loved the museum so much we wanted to come back," said Sam Stein, waiting for the Smithsonian's National Museum of American His-· tory to open at midday. · Marcy Stein, who said the fami· ly was going home on Sunday, said that until toda~ they had mostly seen "the outsides 6f all the monuments." The House and Senate also passed a companion bill that would restore many - but far from all -government services that were shut down three weeks ago when legal spending authority for them lapsed. But the White House said Congress did not send it for Clinton's sign~ture immediately. That measure would cover such programs as me~ls for senior citizens, aid to welfare recipients and veterans benefits. National parks, museums and passport offices also would reopen, with most of the programs funded through Sept. 30, the end of this fiscal year. In a statement early Saturday, the White House press office said Clinton considered the back-to-work measure "a step in the right direction, but more work remains to be done." On the bill to provide only partial restoration of programs, the staljlmerlt said the president believed it was "cruel and unusual punishment, not only for the people who need services that are unavailable but for all the rest of the people in the country who pay the taxes for these ser- vices." To entice Clinton and congressional leaders to strike a budget deal, Congress also passed a third, more comprehensive measure. It would Ky. motel -fire leaves y three dead 'I ~ Ir ' ' ' ' ' '' I: I .

Speaking hours after he signed legislation to reopen the government after a three-week shutdown, Clinton said it is time for "constructive, · focused, honest discussions" on how to balance the budget without hurting children, the elderly, the ellvironment and working families. The president also planned to sign legislation that would fund many, but not all, government programs that had been crippled by the partial government shutdown. These include assistance to the elderly, veterans and 'welfare recipients 'and operation of . national parks, passport offices and museums. In most cases, the money would last the entire fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. The government's biggest welfare program, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and foster care adoption assistance to states, lasts through March J5. Clinton said that while the budget debate has been difficult, long, raucous and "not always pretty," the time has r.ow arrived to take "the best that each side has to offer and fashion a sensible solution." , He said America is at a crossroads in which Congress and all citizens must .choose a never-ending fight over id~ology "or national unity built. on true solutions and common ground."

In a Sarajevo suburb, a member of the NATO force was wounded Saturday - a French soldier injured by an explosion while patrolling a zone separating Muslims from Serbs. He was the seventh casualty ·sirice NATO- took over ~from the U.N. peacekeeping force Dec. 20;, on Thursday, an Italian became the first NATO soldier wounded by hostile gunfire. And near Sanski Most, in north· western Bosnia, British soldiers with the NATO mission fired 62 rounds from automatic weapons after snipers shot at their bunker 20 times in five minutes. Overall, NATO officials said Saturday, Bosnia's warring sides are pulling back from front lines mostly on schedule - sometimes even ahead of schedule. Yet the day's fighting showed that the hatred that fueled nearly foqr years of war lives on- or has worsened through cycles of revenge. The southern city of Mostar serves as a graphic illustration.

Iverson matched his season-big scoring output with moves that , t Danny Hurley flat-footed and Adrian Griffin reeling on his ankles, but it was Williams' fierce rebounding that clinched the victory after the Pirates' second-half run. The victory was the lOth in a row for the Hoyas (13-1, 3-0 Big East). The loss snapped a three-game winning streak by the Pirates (6-S, 2-2). W(lliams finished with· 14 rebounds, including eight offensive boards, and· 10 points. Iverson was 14-for-23, including 5-for-8 from as he did in.th~ Steelet's' 23-0 apd 2310 victories over Buffalo the last two seasons, finishing 14 of 29 for only 135 yards and two interceptions. But one play after Kelly was shaken up and had to leave, Steve Tasker, playing only after receiving a pregame painkiller, set up Ale~ Van Pelt's three-yard touchdown pass to Tony Cline with a 40-yard reverse. Tasker had earlier set up a Thurman Thomas one-yard run with a 26-yard reception, and , suddenly, the lead was only five points. Then the Steelers did what all of their Super Bowl teams d•d when in doubt: They rediscovered the run. With Neil O'Donnell badly off his game - he threw eight consecutive incompletions at one point in the sec- ond half -the Steelers began workmg the clock and -the tired Bills' defense with Bam Morris' running. Morris, out of shape and on the bench when the season-began, ran for two touchdowns in the final 6.16 to finish with 106 yards on 2S carries, and the Steelers were home free. And the Bills were left to wonder once again what happens to their off..nse when they step on Three Ri"ers Stadium's frozen turf. For most of the game, they were just as clueless and defenseless as they were the last two seasons, as neither Kelly nor Thomas found their games. Thomas, who had rushed for 158 yards against Miami the week before, managed only 46 yards after spraining his right ankle on his thinl carry. Gre,,~r .Bay s~«;>~ks San Fra~ciscQ 27-17 in By DA.

In that era it was called the Gallipolis Theater. A fire in 1931 had given the added incentive to plans already· underway to expand the Masonic Building and to refurbish the auditorium. The first live performance aft'er the 1932 remodeling was ·the "Musical Com· edy Revue" sponsored liy the Ameriean Legion. Wrote the Tribune of that Feb. 16, 1932 show: · · , "High points in the program were the singing and dancing in the "Children's Party" by Virginia Lynch and a &JSIIP of children; Bill King and hisMtffic'.theCiownAlley;awtch einitled ' Mary's Lamb ; floc Bradbury's dance, a sort of crou be, tw~~ • one-legged man. fighting .! prune ftre and a hoo!"hte kootchie jirl sufferiag from pnckly heat; the ~ pnuine Pomeroy German Band ., with its Schnitzel Band; and the burlesque on the Floradora, Girls of a generation ago." Specialty acts were given by . Beny Kratz, Roberta Cornwelf, Charlotte CoJ;Owell, Avalon Gardner and Inez Kelton. Perhaps one of the more popular acts at these kinds of talent shows was what came under the cat· eg()ry of old time fiddling. In fact on a number of occasions in the era of 1900 to 1935 the Gallipolis Theater was host to what were called "Old Time Fiddle Contests." These con. tests usually incl.uded as well .as , fiddles , banJOS, guatars, and even Jig dance.rs. . . Jag dancers 10 the area bes1des the aforementaoned Poe Brad~ury meluded Reu~~- !l.Gse.

At the Rnt show lifter remodeling Jil dancers and llddlen played key role~. "Old 'l'ime Fiddle" contests were regularly held in the theatre from 1900 to 1935. Contests" pulled people from several jig dancers. Five of the fiddlers carne states, and some would be held just · from Gallipolis. M.R. Hem, W.H. for local folks . ln a 1929 contest there Rayburn, S.M. Bing, Earl Carter, and were 20 ftddlers, 6 banjoists, and six J.M. Norman. There were two from Vinton, Otis McGhee and Earl Grate and two from Thivener, Jerome Harrison and Mrs". Fred Harrison . · McGhee also played the banjo. A:ll six of the jig dancers were from south· · em Gallia County. · Addison produced perhaps two of the greatest Iiddle players in Gallia history: H.E. Grover and Sam Bing. Both had won state fiddle contests as well as many local ones. They played for well over 60 years. Sam Bing became somewhat of a radio personality in the 1920's and 1930's with hi s rendition of "Maggie." Bing played it over the big stations of the day in Cincinnati, Pitts· burgh and WAIU in Columbus. Bing loved to play the fiddle so much that lie often would pull to· gether his son on ·the bass viol, another violinist and a guitar player to" play at school functions , talent shows and even family reunions. ln'ltte early 1930's when Bing was in his 80's the quartet played at four family reunions in one day. Stated the Tribune: "Well when tbose·four men got started it was no use to think of visiting, eating or any· thing else. All just stood with mouths open ll!ld listened. They sure made the hills reverberate with the beautiful: music they made so easily." Another familiar name at these con-: tests was A.C. Safford. He was usti-~ ally the Master of Ceremonies. Btit" he too was a fiddler. As a young boy: Safford threatened to sell all of his: father's tools to buy a fiddle and "sci; the world on fire" with music. ~' At one of the last "Old Time: Fiddle Conte sts" held at the Ariel in: the "fiddle era" . contestants included:· Walter Bosuc of Thurman, George• Fisher of Crown City, Keith Tyler 0(. Alice, and Lewis Fisher of Eureka.. · : At that contest held in.l935 two· significant changes were notic·Jd from: _ the early 1900 contests. First a con<·· test was held for guitar pickers. The: guitar was then replacin& the fiddle· and the banjo in popularity. The ond change was that for the· first time; young women were entering the jii· dancing conteJt and adding· moves! never before seen.

The company is {illing in some gaps for those who like the popular soun~ from the 1940s and '50s. Varese Sarabande recently has . released compact discs on the original Coral Records ,works of The Ames Brothers (before that group joined RCA Victor) and Teresa Brewer, as well as a second CD on The Four'Aces group from their original Decca Records masters. - "Sentimental Me: Tbe Best of the Ames Brothers" contains the four brothers' big early hits of the swinging "Undecided," the mellow " Sentimental Me," the nonsensical "Rag Mop" and the smooth "Can Anyone Explain? (No, No, No)."The quartet was led by Ed Ames, who went on to a ~olo career with such hits as "My Cup Runneth Over." The Ames were on Coral records from the late '40s until about 1952, when they switched to RCA and more hits like "You, You, You," "The Man with the Banjo" and "The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane," all available on a RCA greatest hits pa~kage. The new CD also has two Ames' hits that were recorded with other personalities. They backed singer Monica Lewis on 1948's "A Tree in the Meadow" (the bigger hit was by Marg~ret Whiting) and sang with Russ Morgan's orchestra on the hit revival of "Cruising Down the River" in 19.49. Other goodies on the CD include "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me," "Sentimental Journey," "My Favorite Song" (a minor Ames hii) and an unexpected "Hawaiian War Chant." Brewer was Coral's top songstress, logging such No. I hits as 19SO;s Dixieland flavored "Music! Music! Music!," 1952's "Till! Waltz Again with Yo~" and 1953's "Richochet." She dueled with Don Cornell on the "You'll Never GetAway" and hit the Top 10 with the bouncy "Jilted," the poignant "A Tear Fell" and toe-tapping "The Banjo's Back in Town." Brewer had one of the most identifiable voices of the '50s. Sometimes she almost sounded as'.if she might squeak. Other Brewer nuggets on the CD are "Silver Dollar," "Mutual Admiration Society," "Baby Baby Baby," "Bell Bottom Blues,'' "Pledging My Love," "Empty Arms" and "Bo . Weevil," among others. Varese Sarabande earlier released The Four Aces's greatest hits that, of course, included "Love Is a ManySplendored Thing," "Three Coins in the Fountain,'' "Sin" and "Tell Me Why." Now the company comes back with more Aces's hits like the punchy "Wedding Bells (Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine)," the lovely and · dramatic "To Love Again," the sweeping "Written on the Wind" from the movie of the same name and "Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love)," another theme song that went higher on the charts fr~m Pat Boone. The CD also has terrific versions of "I'll Never Smile Again," "Organ Grinder's Swing," "TheJ;e Goes My Heart," "Just Squeeze Me (But Don't Tease Me)" and "Shine on Harvest Moon," among others. The Aces were led by the towering voice of AI Alberts. You might also want to·check on Capitol Records' new Spotlight On series that haS broug~t to CD such · out-of-print singers as Andy Russell ( "Amor," "Laughing on the Outside (Crying on the Inside)," "Pretending!'); Bob Manning ('~The Nearness of You") and a first-rate balladeer· and Betty Hutton ("I Wish I Didn'i Love You So," "It Had to Be You," "Stuff Like That There," "His Rocking Horse Ran Away;' "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief"). The series also brings more from top Capitol artists like Kay Starr, Margaret Whiting and Mel Tonne. Jonathan Taylor Thomas: A real Tom Sawyer for the -'90s By JACK GARNER Gen.,._tt N8w1 Service Jonathan Taylor Thomas especially remembers that summer day when he white-washed the fence. He was playing Tom Sawyer in "Tom and Huck," and was recreating one of the most famous moments from Mark Twain's great novel. "It ')\"as kind of eerie, whitewashing that fence," he says. "It goes down in history; it's classic American literature." · "There's a bit of pressure in that, too. We have to live up to what Twain w..ote," ThomaS says. "This is going to affect the interpretation of 'Tom Sawyer' for all who . see this film, especially young kids; so you have.to live up to the story and give your best perfonnance." If they seem like especially astute observations for a child actor, two points rnust be made. Fir.1t, Thomas no longer is a child actor. Despite his short stature and baby face, the star of TV's "Horne Improvement" is already 14. Second, Thomas is smarter than the average actor, child or otherwise. He'~ carrying a straight-A record in school, is a vociferous reader, understands the importance of education, and takes a practical approach tohis beginning career as a film actor.

O'Donnell's retirement was Jan. I ,1996 following a career that began with the former G&J Auto Parts in 1963. The ret~ began as a counterman trainee at the G&J stores in Pomeroy and Gallipolis. In December, 1963 he was promoted to outside sales, work-. ing out of both Pomeroy and Gallipolis. , His primary sales territory included all of Gallia and parts of Vinton, ··Meigs, and Lawrence counties. In the mid-1960s he was assigned to .assist with the outside sales at new ly opened stores in Logan, Ohio and Hurricane, W.Va. In 1980 the G&J Auto Parts chain of stores_ was purchased . by l'arts lndustiies, Inc. of Memphis, Tenn. and O'Donnell was retained by the new owners as salesnlan. . From 1981 until 1986, Odie worked out of both the Gallipolis and Point Pleasant'. W.Va. stores which had been re·named Part~ Plus. Since Continued on D·6 ODIE O'DONNELL Planting props by ~he no~till BYBUZ MILLS Gallla Soli & Water ~ Conservation District Technician GALLIPOLIS - Planting crops by the no-till method means that no tillage is Jl\'rformed prior to the• . planting operation. T h e planting operation consists of using a planter or drill equipped to piBf]t the crop seed into this undisturbed soil. Saving time by no-till planting is one of ·the large pluses in the busy spring time. A primary tillage trip plus one or two secondary tillage trips are eliminated before planting can be started. Houni saved by not performing any tillage can be spent residue reduces soil erosion. When soil is dry the residue covering the soil protects it from wind erosion . The residue covering also breaks up rain fall impact and during heavy or persistent rainfall slows any moving water on the soil surface reducing water erosion . This surface water has more time to soak or infiltrate into the soil before the water can leave the field. If this water is allowed to leave the field it is caring nutrients and possibly herbicides that add to the pollution problem. With the increased crop residue and water infiltration time. as much as an additional two inches of water may be make avail able to the farming more acres or devoting the extra time to a livestock enterprise . Maintenance costs on equipment· is lower. Since tillage trips are elim· inated the cost for maintenance for this equipment is reduced. No-tilling has been estimated to reduce this cost by $5.00 per acre. Fuel costs are also reduced considerably. Less horsepower tractors are nonnally used for planting no-till verses higher horsepower tractors used for'the tillage operations. Average fuel consumption is reljuced from 5 gallons in conventional tillage operations to 1.5 gallons of fuel usage for no-till farmers. Planting into last years crop method: crop. In a drier late summer such as in 1995, thi s would have made addi- : tiona! crop. yield . No-till also increases organic matter.

If you've accomplished, given up or are just bored.JYilh tbose resolutions. here's a n!w one for you: Resolve in 1996 to learn more about 'and ulldcrstand the agricultural industry' in . Y!lllf community, Here are. some' ways to get started. . Understand agricultural practices alid why they are necessary. During ' harvest and planting seas.ons, realize that farmers will be working late nights in the fields and usipg roads more. Farm equipment can't move quickly and sometimes uses both .SicJes of the road, so be patient and be ·safe. · ' · Uilderstand why (llany com and ' J!O)'bean .farmers , don'i plow theirfields anymore. No-till farming is a 'gractice that's goal is to leave the soil 115 qndisturbed as possible, resulting in mqch less soil erosion, labor and f,.t.agc. No-tiiJ has bec_ome such ll, ~\llible method because 1f we don't saw"the soil, food cannot be pro1 a.!Kled"at all. Whichever practice a fill-mer uSes, conventional tillage or no-lillac~. ii's because it is the best, moat ej'fi~~t and profitable practice • for thllt indiVidual's farm. Uoderiland why some livestock ate 'l'kCJ)l in confi~e~ent: Animals 1 J grow best in an atm\)sphere where . there is the least amount of stress ·possible. For some animals, including hogs and chickens, this atmosphere is a closed, tell)perature-regulated building where the animal's health· and growlh can be monitored closely. Understand that farming is a unique occupation. Farming requires large capital investments for such things as land, buildings and equiP:, ment; it is vulnerable to weather and market conditions like no other business; and farmers must be at times a · mechanic, veterinarian, market speculator, business person, laborer and employee manager. Understand why it is so ilnpoJllllll that we teach children, rural and urban alike, about fanning. Food production is the basic economic foundation on which our country . was built. To protect agriculture, the next ,generation must have some concept of how its food is produced. Unders~nd that the word agricultural encompasses much more than you niay think. Aquicultuie, food processing, farm markets, tree farming, greenhouses and fruit and vegetable farms are all part of Ohio's $57 billion a year agricultural industry. Most of all, understand that Amerlean farms provide this country, and lnlll)y pails .of the world, with the . safes~ most abl!ndant food supply the world has evet kllown. < 424 SECOND AVE.

Neftpeper Snow places Meigs under emergency From AP, Stefl Reports More than a foot of snow fell on Meigs County Saturday and Sunday, the largest winter stonn 10 strike since January 1994, when more than 25 inches was dumped on the area. Emergency Services Director Roben E. Dyer estimated up to 15 inches of snow fell on ponions of the county. Emergency Services and the Meigs County Sheriff's Department issued a Level III advisory, requesting driven of all non-emergency .vehicles to remain off the road. The advisory was downgraded at noon today io a level II advisory meaning most roadways are passable, but remain hazardous and motorists should not go out unless necessary, wd Dyer. Sheriff's deputies reponed no accidents, saying most motorists complied ~ with requests to stay off the roads. As of Ibis morning, all Meigs County roads have been cleared, according to Dave Spencer, Meigs Highway Oa(age office manager. ,- SP.QW removal cmws beaded by Mabtiiili''~ '·'and• Randy-• Pyles wmted around the clock starling Saturday, Speni:cr said. Spencer said crews have begun s!'"'ading salt and cinders on the roads now the snow has abated. All county offices, schools and many businesses are closed today. 1be storm also resulted in the post-ponement of the sheriff department's Drull Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) graduations, which will be held next week, according to DARE officer Mony Wood. Dyer urged homeowners to check their furnace vents to ensure they are not blocked by snow or ice. · By any measure- inches, feet or hard-to-drive slnlets- the storm that buried southern Ohio over the weekend was one for the ages. The unrelenting snow on Sunday piled up at record depths in Cincinnati, tcmponll'ily closed roads around the state, and contributed to at least two deaths.
