(AP)When Gary Dockery suddenly awoke from 7 112 years of unconsciousness, some of his first words focused on his pas,sion: annual winter camping trips he helped organize with his buddies. "Yep, missed it this year," Dockery said from his hospital bed to his ·son Shane. "But I'm go.ing next year." The former policeman was the nucleus of an eclectic mix of friends - woodworkers, nuclear regulators, a geologist and other policemen who gathered twice a winter for allmale escapes into the Cherokee National Forest just northeast of Chattanooga. · The winter trips epitomized Dockery, said Dick Edgerton, a woodworker who lives in Flintstone, Ga. They began for a young generation of friends and evolved into a rite of passage shared with their sons . "He was one of the moving influences to make sure we got there," Edgerton said.

This time, though, two· Pennsyl· vania disc jockeys are trying to get !he Motor City Madman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Ted Nugent has been ignored long enough," said Pete McRae of WQWK in State College and WQKK in Johnstown. "He embodies the spirit, energy and wild abandon that rock' and roll is all about." McRae and Cara Sabin said they need to collect 250,000 signatures to try to begin the process. "The iest is in the hands of Ted's fans," McRae said. Nugent has. recorded for nearly three decades and is best known for his hits "Journey to tfle Center of the Mind," "Baby Please Don't Go" and "Cat Scratch Fever." When Michael Jackson caine walking through a London square Sunday wearing his trademark hat, red fleece jacket and black surgical mask, it was too much for one street performer to believe.

NEW YORK (AP) - When AI Franken said he wanted to interview all of us but it seemed like more so to him." This is the 12th year of the winter outings, but Dockery hasn't participated since he was shot in the head by a drunken man in 1988. Shane has gone in his father 's place for the past six years, Dockery lingered in a coma-like state until a week ago. On Feb. II, he was taken from a nursing home to a Chattanooga hospital with life-threatening pneumonia. His family had to choose between letting the illness kill him or risk surgery. Dockery awoke the next day and talked for some 18 hours. His family, hoping to give him a fighting chance, opted for surgery that drained infectious fluid from his lungs. Dockery, 42, was alen but not speaking Sunday. Since the surgery on Thursday, he had responded only by moving his eyes and squeezing hands. He was moving his arms and legs on command and breathing on his own. Meanwhile, his friends reflect on a man who once relished an active life. ""' His former partner.

Former ·State Solicitor Richard Cordray last week asked the court to declare the law unconstitutional after Secretary of State Bob Taft said Danny Klingler's conviction on a charge of failure to pay child support was an "absolute bar" on his ability to run for Perry County sheriff. The conviction has been wiped from his record. Cordray asked the court to issue an order allowing Klingler to put his name on the Democratic ballot in the March primary. Cordray also asked that the county pay Klingler's legal fees and the cost of ttlc supreme CClUrt case. Klingler, now a captain in the Somerset police departrne~t. wants to ·challenge incumbent Republican William Barker jn November. "We're hoping the court wlll bear this quickly so Danny can get on the March ballot, and if not, at least get . him on the ballot in November," said Perry County Democratic Chairman Charlie Hamctty. "We understand they're gelling several similar cases, so we hope the y can work fast. " Perry County Republican Chairman John McGaughey Jr. said he was not looking for the case to head to . · Columbus. " I had no idea they had done that," McGaughey said . "I'm surprised they'd take it to the Supreme . Court, but I really don 't want to com- . ment on it yet." Taft decided the Klinaler case · after the Perry County Board of . Elections in January voted 2-2 on a 'challenge to Klingler's candidacy. .Under Ohio law, the secretary of state breaks such ties. • The challenge and the t;ourt case . address issues,of whether fingerprints ·were filM in ·a timely manner and Klingler's supervisory experienceboth requirements under Ohio's 1986 . law setting requirements for sheriff candidates, but Taft's ruling lll!d the court action focus on the misdemeanor conviction. �~ Commentary • ~ i":' · TUelday,Febiu.ry~~a:i~ Wednelday, Feb. 21 , . ~----------~~~~~~~~----------~--~------~~------~~---------• ..~ I I ' '£stabfisfutf in 1948 111 Court St., Pomeroy, Ohio 614-992·2156 • Fu: 992·2167 -2, A Gannett co.

II ended seven months later in a counroom when a jury fou~d Ritchie guilty of murdering her daughter, Samantha. In between was a roller coaster rrde of emotiOn for a community gripped by the tWISts and turns of unfoldmg drama "Th1s was a loss felt by everyone," said Jeffrey Slyman, who works in Dayton and lives m the area. Rttchte 's call to pollee July 18 touched off a search that eventually mvolvcd scores of polrce, friends and volunteers. For five days they knocked on doors and searched waterways and woods for Samantha. A photo of the smtlrng, ptgtatled gtrl was distributed on thousands of posters and flashed across televiSion screens. The scene outstde Ritchie's two-story duplex became what one policeman described as a circus. Television cables snaked across the street to satellite trucks, portable toilets were set up, and a merchant delivered free ptzzas and soft drrnks for the searchers In the end, Samantha was found one block from her home. Police search dogs discovered her beaten body m the water-filled pit of an abandoned 1ron-castmgs foundry The pollee mvestigation went into htgh gear. Two weeks later, Ritchie's ~tepfather asked officers to meet him at a highway underpass. He told them he had overheard Ritchie tell her mother that she had auacked her daughter. Polrce confronted Ritchte, 24, and say she confessed. "I heard the defendant say, 'I didn 't mean to ktll her,"' Detective Tom Lawson testified. "She satd, 'There was so much blood. I split her little pigtail. Ritchie was arrested. Stunned television viewers watched her being led in handcuffs from police headquaners across a parkmg lot to the jatl.

The situation is further complicatcd by "e•temal" factors: Women who smoke are more likely to suffer adverse consequences; elderly women are more prone to develop growths; hormone supplements appear to protect older women against osteoporosis and heart disease. Most women ll{e not disabled by symptoms of menopause; hot flashcs, for instance, wane and eventually disappear in a matter of months. For such women. hormone therapy is not necessary, because the risks of treatment outweigh the benefits. In contrast, women with severe and prolonged menopause can defi nitely be helped by supplemental hormones. In such cases, the benefits e•ceed the risks. Moreover, if a postmenopausal woman has a strong family history of osteoporosis or heart disease, she may justifiably choose hormone therapy to prevent these conditions. In such instances. the benefits again outweigh the risks. However. if a woman has had breast or uterine cancer (or has a strong family pattern of these tumors ). she should certainly think twice before taking supplemental hormones. You and your gynecologist have some work to do. The two of you need to sit down for a frank and detailed discussi<m concerning the advantages (and hazards) of therapy. Only then can you make an educated decision about whether hormone treatments are in your best interest.

It's something that's neat for the players and we realize we got that ranking by what we did on the coun, and we can't let that slip by not losing .any games, so we've just got to keep winning." Nobody has kept winning like ' Massachusetts (25-0), the nation's only unbeaten team.

''I'm not the Republican front-runner, but I'm breathing hard on his heels and I think he's breathing very hard right now," Buchanan said in a morning-after assessment of what he'd accomplished in the nation's first 1996 primary. He <;ampaigned today in South Carolina, which votes a week from Saturday, laying claim to the conservative South. Lamar Alexander, third behind No. 2 Dole, pursued a last-man-standing strategy for winning the nomination. He said it was time for Dole to step aside "and let me and Pat Buchanan debate the future of the party." The Granite State primary decided nothing except that the contest will have to be settled elsewhere. " I think we have a fighting chance to·win this Republican nomination," Buchanan said, but he expects GOP tlders to decide that he can 't win an election against President Clinton and to anoint Dole. "I think they will rally around Bob Dole and I think they'll make a terrible mistake," he said. "They' ll all stan calling me names. "I think in panic they will behave like men in panic." Former Vice President Dan Quayle said Dole's weakness has p~t the nomination " up for grabs." From here on, Quayle said, Dole was "going to have to go and be energetic and aniculate that vision and see if the Republicans will buy it. .. No one but his opponents were writing off Dole. The ~enate majority leader enjoys the backing of the Republican establishment and has $4.8 million for the next round of primaries and caucuses; his two chief rivals are almost out of cash . Buchanan said his New Hampshire victory, atop wins in Louisiana and Alaska and a strong second in Iowa, will broaden his appeal among rank-and-file· Republicans who are saying, "I always liked the fellow, but now I think he can win." Today in South Carolina, he was picking up the endorsement ofPhyl• lis Schlafly, a veteran anti-abonio~ leader. ' Buchanan told supponers that the pany regulars were frantically seek· ing a way to block him. _ "You can hear them right now," he . said. "The fax machines and the · phones are buzzing in Washington, D.C." And the message, he said; was: "Somebody's got to get out and take · on this guy. " : Alexander ponrayed himself as the • mainstream-acceptable alternative tO : "a weakened Senator Dole" and an · overly divisive Buchanan. He; acknowledged, " I've got to start winning soon." In Iowa, he also fin· ished third. Dole won there , but nar· rowly; Buchanan was an unexpectedly strong second.

Lester Errett, general manager, and Dan Elias, regional engineer of Cablevision, met with council to discuss the franchise to which council approved the first reading with the stipulation that changes can be made in the ordinance if council so desires. Council was given a 30-day extension to approve final passage. It was noted that through the efforts of Mayor George Connolly, village cleanup has begun with the tearing down of two houses and a third house by owners Mr. and Mrs. Marvin McKelvey. Council discussed the tearing down of several other propenies within the village that had been condemned. Plans for anew concession stand and press box for the ball field were finalized .

(AP) Lamar Alexander called on Bob Dole today to step aside and allow Alexander and Pat Buchanan to "duke it out" for the Republican presidential nomination. Alexander called the race "a battic for the soul of our country." • "We can't allow 'Buchananism'to be the future of the Republican party," said Alexander, who finished third in New Hampshire primary behind the narrow winner Buchanan and No. 2 Dole. "I've got fresh conservative ideas. Senator Dole seems to have no ideas and Pat has the wrong ideas." · Alexander conceded that "I have to stan winning" in upcoming primaries but said. "Senator Dole should step aside and let Pat and I have a contest about the future of this pany." "We'll have six or eight contests where we ' ll duke it out," Alexander said. Alexander said he would suppon Buchanan if the conservative commentator won the pany's nomination. Alexander faces two severe problcms- he's not even on the ballot in some delegate-rich states like New York and Pennsylvania and he's shon · of money. Campaign repons filed with the Federal Election Commission show Alexander raised just $437,000 in January and finished the month with about $425.000 in the bank. By compari son, Dole raised SI. 79 million in January and Buchanan raised $893,209. Alexander denied any money cri- sis today, saying, "We got $500,000 in by maii'Thursday, Friday and Saturday and I've goi a phone call this morning with 320 finance co-chairmen who see a weak Dole, Pat with energy but the wrong direction and· me with a long-term best chance to be the nominee." Exit polls Tuesday indicated that Alexander's Strength · was among moderate and independent voters, and that he finished second to Dole among those who said ability' to defeat Pr~sident Clinton w~s the ·-most i!Jlponant factor in the race. Alexander said he doubted that Buchanan would be the' eventual nominee and that Dole, for all his organizational strength and money, has not caught fire with voters. In early January, after months of campaigning; he confessed voters "don't know me from a hole in the ground." But he pressed on, faithful to 'he idea that if the big guys fattered, he'd "scoot up the middle." Interest in him surged after his third-place finish in Iowa. His onand-off walk across southern New Hampshire ended Tuesday in coastal Ponsmouth in the midst of a media horde. Alexander was the first Tennessee governor to serve two terms. His folksy. sunny. approach came with a driving political ambition and a background as a New· York-educated lawyer and an .aide in the Nixon White House. · He attracted huge Nissan and Saturn plants to the state during his tenure . ' Safety issues addressed on clt$ed section of SR 7 ~ By TOM HUNTER Sentinel News Staff State highway officials are revis ing signs along State Route 7 due to safety concerns that motorists unfamiliar with the recent closing of the highway are not aptly warned of the barricaded slip area near Tuppers Plains. With heavy fog conditions in the area over recent evenings and morn· ings, the lack of 'Road Closed' signs or warning signals near the slip area have not adequately warned mototists of the closed section of roadway. "One-lane Highway" signs were originally erected near the slip area, but were not removed after state officials • decided to close the section of the road last Monday. "We are aware that there are problems with the signing of the area, and we are working to have those problems corrected by late this afternoon.
