(AP)- With a Jo.lee, glares and shabby shins, members of DC Talk look the pan of a typical alternative rock band on the back cover of their new COmpll\'t disc. , The music, which opens with a screeching guitar and distorted vocals, also sounds like the genuine article. Only the lyrics reveal sornctllin1 else is going on. The single "Jesus Freak," which has received MTV airplay, concludes: "There ain't no disguising the truth - Jesus is the way." Christian music, a nearly hidden genre with questionable quality for many yean, recently has come into its own as a creative and commercial force. It's not \. always preaching to the convened anymore. When new albums by DC Talk and singer-songwriter Michael W. Smith both debuted at No. 16 in the Billboard chans . late last year, it awakened the music industry to Christian music's new power as a sales force. "There is a huge diversity in the mus!s," said B11,1ce Koblish, president of the Nashville-based Gospel Music Ass~>­ ciation. "Christian music is the only music defined by the lyriqd content rather than the style of music." Once largely the province of bland pop anists such as Amy Grant, Christian music also includes rappers, country singers, heavy metal artists and DC Talk who, like alternative rockers everywhere, worship the music of R.E.M. The Recording Industry Association of America estimated Christian and gospel music accounted for 3.3 percent of all music sales in 1994, up from 2.5 percent in 1990, and on .a par with such genres as jazz ·and classical. .

George Voinovich has parted company with his Republican colleagues in Washington over proposals to repeal a 4.3-centsper-gallon gasoline tax imposed in 1993 to help reduce tho budget deficit. · Voinovich said Friday he could not understand why the GOP - including Senate Majority Leader BOb Dole, Vojnovich's pick'for president- wanted to repeal th~ levy.

Letter to the editor Issuing a call for unity of purpose The events tbat have transpired over the last few .weeks witb the Gallia County School Board and the re-opening of the HrnS building have fos· tered many stories and half-truths concerning those of us who have been involved in an effort to make the board and administration accountable for tbeir actions and to operate in an open and infonned fashion. . · The first and most persistent lie was simply that the Parents United for Academic Excellence unilaterally opposed the opening of HT High School. In fact, tbe group voted to support the re-opening based on the board being al)le to prove that tbe district could afford it, and that the level of education offered to aU students, K- 12, would not he reduced. · Financial information requests and comparisons have been ignored and . no supporting documents with state level approval have been supplied. More disturbing than Ibis is the fact the class ·offenngs at both h1gh schools have been cut drastically. We can only speculate what the losses to the K-8th grade classes will be at Ibis time. The only certainty is that if the budget forec¥ts are wrong, all 3,000-plus students will suffer. I, personally, have heard a number of different reasons that I am supposed to be making this a vendetta agamst Mr. Lannmg and the board. The pnmary reason given is my displeasure with tbe handlinJ! of the insurance account last year. It is a fact that I totally disagreed witb the board's action last year. However, I am confident tbat my recommendations were in tbe best interests of ihe taxpayers and the covered employees, ~d tbat time will be~ this out. I am perfectly content to starid on my professiOnal record and I w1ll be happy to share my records witb any interested parties. Insurance is not tbe issueeducation is. For !bose of you have heard or have !Jeen using Ibis argument, please consider one additional fact. If I had been elected to the board, I would have been totally locked out of even bidding tbe account for my four- year tenn. Opposing sitting board members publicly is certainly .not conducive to being awarded contracts. If you look at the facts, and not the rhetoric, from those who have nothing else to defend themselves witb, you must realize I have nothing personal to gain and everything to lose on a business-only basis. The fact is tbat there are three main reasons that I have chosen to work . witb over 100 other committed peqple at this time: • 1 cannot tolerate or condone a board policy that delibera)ely lowers tbe standard of education offerCd to our children. • I believe as a businessman tbat tbe opportunity for economic growth in 'allia County starts with improved .~ucational opportunities in botb ·the county and city sthool systems. . ' · · . • I can't stand being lied to. The facts are tbat we either closed three local high schools as a result of faulty information (and sold two good buildings), or we just opened one on faulty information -in 1996. · · . . · Somebody lied, and our.children paid the price then and they will now. Bottom line. I respect the parents of the children in the HJHS area who have fought to prevent their children from being bused for ~ery lo~~ ~islances. Given tbe options they have had, I would have cons1dered JOmmg them if my children had to face the hardships theirs have. I would now like the parents in that and all other attendance areas -to consider the mission our group has adopted. We are ~ghting to protect the,rights of all children in all grades in every district, including the HT area. Our concern is that the manner in which Ibis actiQII occurred has polarized the coun. ty to such an extent that the North-South factions wiU never pass an operating levy or a bond issue under the current admJmstrabon. . • We believe tbat tbe lack of operating funds could rna~ your "new" school tbe first target to close if and when the system has to attempt to borrow money from the state again. Our proposal to the board would have assured continued operating funds for a two-school operatiOn and would only have required a short delay in reopening the facility. Sadly, we were ignored. . · . . . The people in our group do not have _a workable s~lubon at th1s lime. We invite your iq~ut and hope for a produc~ve work sess10n on May 14. We can prom~· se otliing but the fact that we wtll continue to work towards making tbe d and the superintendent an~ his staff more accessible and accountable t the taxpayers ·Who support tHem. We need your help. Open dialogue. improved communications, and a commitment to help all of our children in Ibis county is our only chance. Please stand up and be counted for the children's sake. c;~\ Ronald R. Toler, State Route 160, Gallipolis Today in history · By The Aaaocl•ted Today is Sunday, May 5, the I 26th day of 1996.

But some of his closest Political allies are gerting in the way of a unified GOP front. Not to menilon pesky Democrats. In a new stump speech delivered Friday night, Dole delivered a pointed critique of Clinton, asserting that on issues ranging from taxes and spending to welfare reform and cultural 'values, the incumbent has "talked conservatively while walking knee-deep in liberalfsm." He also mocked recent ad'IJinistt:ation efforts to claim credit for a robust economy, noting that annual growth was 4.3 percent when Clinton took office and is just 2.8 percent now. And he accused the president of leading a foreign policy marked by Dole's New York visit. -. And just last week, Dole's effort to put to rest conservative questions about his commitment to the antiabortion plank in the Republican platform were hampered by statements by California Gov. Pete Wilson and other GOP moderates promising a convention fight to scrap the provision. · . Trying to put the best {ace on the recent di sagreements, Dole spokesman Nelson Warfield said, "One of the good things about being a majority party is there is plenty of room for a variety of opinions.~ Another tough internal Republican battle is whether to bow to Democ· ; ratic pressure to allow a vote to ~ the minimum wage.

But it adds weight to claims that it did. It is tho first document to surface from the White House files of Presi· · dent Dwight D. Eisenhower that names a Soviet official as a source of U.S. suspicions about POW transfers to the former Soviet Union. To this day the government says Moscow has nOI fully answered questions about POW disappearances during a war in which Soviet intelligence was active in Nonh Korea. Yuri A. Rastvorov, who defected to the United States in I954 from his post at the Soviet mission in Tokyo, told Eisenhower administration offi· .cials in a private Jan. 28. 1955, meet· ;ing that "U.S. and other U.N. POWs ·were being .held in Siberia" during :the I950.53 Korean War, according :to the newly released memo, which :is a . one-page summary of what · Rastvorov said in the encounter. · 1be document is on file at the :Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in :Abilene, Kan.; reqllests for its declas· •sification were denied in 1991, but . :last month, in response to renewed ·: requests by The Associated Press and : ·others, it was released. : · The · memo said Rastvorov :claimed to . . have learned of the POW movements from "recent arrivals 1950-I 953- from the Soviet Union to the USSR's Tokyo mission." This apparently w~ a reference to Soviet mission staff. lbere was no indication that Rastvorov participated in any POW transfers. The Pentagon, which bas been investigating Soviet involvement with Korean War prisoners, has been awiii'C! of the Rastvorov memo since 1993 and considers it credible, said Norman Kass, who directs POW work with the Russians ·at the Defense Depanment's POW-MIA Office. ''This represents one more piece 1 ' of evidence " from someone we assume to be reliable and certainly knowledgeable '~ on the issue, Kass said in an interview. Kas~ said he wants to verify . directly with Rastvorov that the statements attributed to him in the memo are accurate. "We are interested in knowing exactly what he did know. " He apparently knew plenty. ' Donald Jameson, who was a branch chief in the Soviet division of the CIA's Operations Directorate in the 19SOs, recalled that Rastvorov told him, too, that a number of American .POWs from the Korean War hid been taken to the Soviet Union. "My impression is that it was a few - 10 to 15; they were aviators mostly," Jameson said in an interview. He said Rastvorov proved to be a reliable and valuallle -source and was one of the most imponant de fee· iors duringrtbe Cold War. ,"He had a lot to say ;;bout relations between the Soviet Union and Korea." Rastvorov took a new name and identity provided by the CIA after his arrival in the United States. Effons to · contact him for this story were unsuc· cessful. Rastvorov was at the Soviet mission in Japan from June 1950- the same month the Korean War broke out - until be defected to the Unit· ed States in January 1954.

America's population was around 145 million; however, minorities were not allowed to play in the show. Botti players pla~ed 22 games against the seven other teams in their league, and they played m smaller ballparks. Consequently, they were able to see pitch· ers. including the mediocre ones, with greater regularity. Imagine hirting against the hapless St. Louis Browns pitching staff i!\stead of Satchel Paige or Dan Bankhead of the Negro League. Those hallowed achievements might not have been established had Africaii-Ameri· cans been allowed to play in the major leagues. The good old days are good, but not better under such scrutiny.

Two, Nomo and Park. come from the Far East. There are only ten more teams than 1941 , and our country's population is around 260 million. Consequently, today's talent is not as diluted as some so called experts would have us believe. Today's players are faster, stronger. in better shape, more talented, and, of co~rse, better .paid than in any previous era.

Spurs beat Suns ·. 116-98 to win series By MEL REISNER PHOENIX (AP) - The San Antonio Spurs, who came into the playoffs with accusations of being usoft" ·and "nicen ringing in their ears, have no detractors among the Phoenix Suns. The Spurs ~tmuscled, outran and outshot the Suns in their rmt· round playoff series, winning three of four games. After San Antonio wrapped it up with li 116-98 victory over the Suns on Friday night, coach Bob Hill said: "I'm surprised we w9n by so much, but I'm n01 surprised we won." The Spurs are clearly as s1rong as last season, when they reached the Western Conference finals for the first time. They outrebounded the Suns 47-30 and hit 57 percent of their shots to the Suns' 45 percent. David Robinson had 30 points and 13 rebounds, and Vinny Del Negro added 25 points. Del Negro, who set a career playoff high with 29 point• in Game I, scored nine points in the third quarter while the Spurs were outscoring the Suns 33-18. San Antonio made 14 of 21 shots in the period to stretch a Oiie:point halftime lead to 85-69. "Every game we played, we never had a run, and it finally happened," Robinson said. "We started. shooting the ball well and rebounding. Tonight that was the key." Del Negro finished I0-of-15 from the field, and set a team playoff record with five three-pointers in seven tries . San Antonio's 10 three-pointers also set a team record. "You eiiher 'double' David and give us outside shots or stay home and take your chances with him one· on-one. It's pick your poison," Del Negro said. · "Whenever they went with a double-team, Avery {Johnson) swung the ball outside, and I was wide open:" "They had a hard time keepins me out of the lane," said Johnson, who had IS points and 13 assists. "I was making layups or finding Vinny for jump shots." Charles Barkley led the Suns with 21 points and nine rebounds, but was only 6-of-15 from the field . Reser.ve Chris Carr added 17 points for Phoenix, which was 41 '41 in the regular season. "It's no fun to lose in the first · round," Barkley said, "and it's no fun to play on a .500 team." Barkley said he plans to play next season, but isn' t sure where. He called himself "one of the Suns' few tradeable options" aod said he would understand if the team tried to deal him in the offseason.. Carr had 13 points in 12 minute.s in the first half, then played only eight minutes in the second. He was· n'ttold why. "Cotton Fitzsimmons doesn't have to justify why he doe~ any· thing," the second-round draft pick said. "I just have to stay ready, slay focused and ready to go into the game." The Spurs led 52-51 at halftime after a tight first half in which neither team led by more than four points. But in the third, the Spurs opened an 11-point lead before the ·Suns closed to 67-61. . Then San Antonio finished the period with an 18-8 .run marked by Del Negro's back-to-back threepoin~rs in the final minute.

(AP) - In an · about-face, tht University of Nebraska said today it will renew the ath· letic scholarship of basketball player Kate McEwen, who was assault. ed last season by star football. player Lawrence Phillips. The .announcement came two weeks after women's basketball coach Angela !leek said McEwen's athletic scholarship was withdrawn because McEwen has not played well for the pasttwo years ..Although the university said Mcl;wen could complete he~ education with an academic scholarship, the decision brought strong criticism to NU, which had vowed to support McEwen after the attack by Phillips. In reversing the decision, athletic director Bill Byrne said: "We recognize that·a no~·rene:-"al of Kate's scholarship was mconsastent wath the supportive system we have been providing her .over the past year. "'!Ypically, a decision on an athlete's scholarship renewal or nonrenewal follows standard procedure," Byrne said in a wril!en statement.

Lemieux's goal might not have been decisive if Messier hadn't ill-advisedly slashed ex-teammate Petr Nedved early in the second period, leading 10 Jagr's power-play goal. Before Jagr scored his first goal, Pittsburgh was held without a shot in the opening 10 minutes and was staying in the game mostly on Ken Wregget's adept goalttnding.

By DOROTHY SAYRI! Recently, an event trigered a lovely memory which had been buried in my mind for years. I ~led the box SOI:ials held in our little twcrroom school house in rUral western Oregon. For those and other spec:ial events, a folding partition between the' rooms was pushed back to make one Huge hall. When and why the socials ceased remains unanswered. In discussing box socials with my husband George and a friend, they knew what box SOI:ials were, but they had never attended one. George remembered the "movie Olclahoma had featured a box social: I didn't. Our 'box SOI:ials included entire families and were held in the evenings. The WQI!len, and girls of all ases, packed a scrumptious box lunch ·and decorated the outside of the box with cr:epe paper, tissoe· paper, wallpaper or gift wrap. The box was then adorned with fresh flowers: hand-made tlowers or other SYLVAN AND DOLLY CLELAND giily-colored trim.

They are aggressive drivers, men (e•pcrts say it's mostly a guy thing) who drive as if, in fact, they do own the road. And heaven help you if you want to share. '"The bottom line is we're frustrated on the highways," said E. Scott Geller, professor of psychiatry at Virginia Tech. "Everybody's playing a win-lose.game. They're on their own, people are getting in their way. That leads to frustration, that leads to aggres!ioJI." Los Angeles has gained fame for freeway car-to-car fusillades. But there are others: . - Three weeks ago, two drivers allegedly sot into a high-speed early morning argument on George Washington . Parkway along the Potomac River near ·Washington. Both crossed a divider into oncoming traffic: one speeder and two innocent drivers coming the other way - including a young mother driving to work - died in the carnage; • -On April 27 on Interstate 95 in V'qinia, one fast-lane driver wu slow to pve -y to another's fluhing lights. When he finally wu able to pass, the oilertaking driver allegedly fired two shots from a .4.5 caliber handgun into the slower vehicle, lodging one slug in the dri ver's leg. The shooter has not been found. - A Detroit man wu found guilty in April of second-degree murder for beating and sexually assaulting a woman, forcing her to jump to her death from a bridge after the two were involved in· a minor traffic accident. On the road, we call people rude . nanies, ignore common counesy, act as if ours is the only vehicle between here and the horizon.· Why do so many of us behave in our cars as we never would on the sidewalk? "We' re protected (in our cars)," Geller said. "We say, "This is my environment. ' We feel overwhelmed, and the one place we feel in control is behind the wheel. Someone tries to take that contrOl away from us and that hurts,'' · And we gp a lirtle bit nuts. " I don't know · i( it's crazier," said Maryland state police Capt. Greg Shipk)l, "but in talking to ,ttoo,pers who are out there every day, they say aggressive behavior behind the wheel bas increased. A&gressive drivers and 1118RUive behavior is a major cm1tributing C81!5C to people dying on our highways." ' Maryland's year-old "Aggressive Driver" program targets those who llilsete, change lanes unsafely, flash lights to clear the lane in front of them and exhibit other aggressive behavior. The state encourages drivers with cellular phones to report hazardous ' behavior immediately. "We get the infonnation to our car nearest the .area," Shipley said. "We do our best to locate the vehicle." Maryland trooper.; wrote 60;034 speeding citations on 55 and 65 mph highways from July to September 1995, up from 43,5I9 from !lie year before. Traffic deaths on those roads were down 77 percent. Highway aggression, Shipley said, is a reflection of aggression in the society. So, where does all this belligerence come from? People who study anger and the roadway recite a list - poor parenting, meanness in talk radio, big companies increasing profits by laying off workers, a growing gap between the haves and have-nots.

Soil is a living, complex system composed of both inorganic and organic matter. The slow breakdown of rocks and minerals mixed with air and water produces the .inorganic component of the soil. The organic material has both the remains of once living plants and animals, plus the multitude of bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa, in addition to the insect larvae, microscopic worms, called nematodes, and earthworms. Of the later two, the earthworms are beneficial and most helpful with their cons1ant tunneling, which airs the soil. Nematodes can harm plants by attacking'their roots. A good way to start your garden and protect the growing plants from· neml!todes is to plant ~asturtium, also called !~dian cress, or Tropaeolum .majus. They secrete flotds m!Q the ground whtch chase the nematodes away. Originally a _SC)uth American perennial, you grow it as an annual. it seeds easily and is cultivated .all over the world. With bright green leaves and yellow-orange or red-blossoms, it is a cheerful addition to your herb bed, while also being helpful. · To cultivate, sow the seeds in spring or eatly summer, in full sun and shelter from the winds. It is an ideal plant for your herb garden, and flowers from June to October. Nasturtium is edible. The leaves and flowers may be used fresh or dried in salads, ~dding a tangy, peppery taste, the flowers and seeds .can be pressed or when npe and dry, the seeds can be used as a great seasomng. Be adventurous and try it. · . A word of caution. Being a good herbalist, you soon learn the difference between "a pinch" and a "bunch". If a little is good, a whole lot is not better and often times it can be downright unhealthy. Learning about herbs and how to use them is part of the fun and happiness of being an herb gardener.

We are thinking of buying a house and are afraid Of settling on something not knowina if formaldehyde' is present. A: UFFI was installed in most homes during the 1970s, but was banned in 1982 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for use in schools and homes. The commission banned the malerial after reviewing test data that linked formaldehyde fumes to cancer in rats and mice. The ban was later overturned by a U.S. Court of Appeals. By that lime, however, most of the contractors installing the material had gotten ou1 of the business. During and after installation of UFFI, formaldehyde levels decline rapidly (to below .I parts per million wilhin the first year of the installation). Although people vle'i in their susceptibility to fomialdehyde, most healthy adults would not experience . ill effects from eKposure below .1 parts per mi Ilion. And since a house containing the insulation would probably have had it installed years ago, any vapors from the insulation would probably be. negligible. Formaldehyde is widely used in many other products such as plywood, panicleboard, chipboard, plastic laminates, cosmetics, cleanerS and paper products. It is possible that the air in the house could have a high fonnaldehyde concentration from these products. If you are concerned about this, have the air tested for .formaldehyde by a certified lab.

The Agriculture Department predicts the price of potatoes will continue a seasonal rise through midsummer, but lettuce prices in the Aprii June quarter will average SO percent below the mark a year earlier. Most of the nation's spring leuuce is from California, where flooding destroyed a big part of the 1995 crop and sent retail prices skyrocketing. The forecast for moderating lettuce prices assumes favorable growing weather this spring. · 2 .. .

Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched ... for nothing loved is ever lost -and he was loved so much.

Skin cancer is now the eighth leading cause of caqcer deaths in the United States. The principal cause of skin cancer is almost universally accepted by medical experts to be overexposure to sunlight, especially when it results in sunburn and blistering. Early detec· . lion is the surest way to a cure. On Saturday, May II , from 9 a.m. until noon, Holzer Clinic will spon· sora free skin cancer screening clinic. Dr. James Young, Holzer Clinic Dennatologist, is spearheading the annual screening clinic. "The American Academy of Dermatology has been promoting screening clinics Jince 1985 be. Sin~e that time, over one million skin cancer cases have been detected." stated Dr. Young. "I'm thankful that Holzer Clinic is helping to offer this very important preventative screening." Dr. Young s·aid. Dr. Young, Holzer Clinic employ· ees and other clinic physicians will panicipate in this year's screening: Anyone with a history of skjn cancer, spotty discoloration of the skin or known overexposure to the sun is a good screening candidate .
