SCHMIDT-DHONAU READING SHARONVILL6 948-1113 948-1113 Catholic: Costs outpace tuition Gays: Discrimination called the issue 'Learning comes in all styles' In grade school, Vitale said she was labeled mentally retarded. Teachers considered her to have attention-deficit disorder because she fidgeted and talked constantly.

Because of polio at age 8, she couldn't walk for two years. She couldn't read until age 12. "I was lucky. I had a grandmother who said: 'Don't worry. You'll read when God is ready for you And I did." Her tips, which work for some children and not for others, contradict educators' traditional sit-straight and don't-talk philosophy.

"We should let kids follow with their fingers (in books). We hadn't been letting them do that," said Susan Arlotta, guidance counselor at Madonna High School in Weirton, W.Va. "We were never allowed to do that But if you don't, only a certain percentage of the students will succeed." Linda Dono Reeves An unorthodox approach to teaching can help some children learn: A child who has trouble reading while sitting at a desk often can understand the material while he lies on the floor. A transparent sheet of colored plastic over a book's page can help slow readers gain speed. Different colors work for different people.

Math problems presented on round flash cards can be learned more quickly than those on conventional rectangular note cards. "If you're going to save our children, you're going to have to take a real good look at what you're doing to the ones with difficulties," said Barbara Meister Vitale, director of the Meta-lntelligence Institute in Franklin, N.C. "They are crying out for help." Because age and development create variations in brain activity, learning comes in all styles, she said. And none is wrong. on and Tyrone Yates; Charterites Bobbie Sterne and Val Sena; and Republicans Nell Surber and Martin Wade.

Incumbent Democrat John Mirlisena, who cannot run for re-election, also lent his support to the anti-Issue 3 effort. McNeil said Thursday his group will counter with its own 30-second TV ad, but its main objective is buying half-hour blocks of TV time to air the videotape "Gay RightsSpecial Rights: Inside the Homosexual Agenda." The videotape accuses gays of "procreating by preying on the vulnerability of the young" and of "destroying traditional biblical values." "We're trying to keep this debate on the issue," McNeil said. "We're dealing with a very technical legal question, and it takes more time than 30 seconds to explain it." that gays and lesbians do not qualify under federal law as a group due "special rights." But opponents of the measure say Issue 3 is a homophobic attack on gays and lesbians. "If rights can be taken away from one group, they can be taken away from others as well," said Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Gilbert Bettman, a Republican who is president of Equality Cincinnati. Bettman called Issue 3 "un-American." "What council did was carry out the Declaration of Independence," Bettman said.

"People who want to take away other people's rights are un-American, in my opinion." Thursday morning at City Hall, Equality Cincinnati unveiled the 30-second TV spot at a press conference attended by seven incumbent and non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates Democrats Roxanne Quails, Barbara Mil- CONTINUED FROM PAGE CI tion against gays with notorious hate crimes of the past. "Discrimination is discrimination," said Nancy Minson, Equality Cincinnati's campaign manager. "The issue in this is not whether or not homosexuality is right or wrong, but whether or not we are going to allow discrimination in our city." Last year, Cincinnati City Council passed a human-rights ordinance that banned discrimination in housing and employment based on sexual orientation, as well as race, gender, religion or Appalachian ancestry. This summer, a coalition of conservatives and religious fundamentalists mounted a citywide petition campaign to place an issue on the ballot barring the city from adopting or enforcing any law that gives protection to people based on sexual orientation. Proponents of the issue argue CONTINUED FROM PAGE CI the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

"To be a value-centered religious institution in a secular world is a big challenge, but we can't do that if we can't afford to stay open," she said. Increasing enrollments, while encouraged, financially strain some parishes that have declining memberships. Past reliance on nuns, priests and monks who work inexpensively has given way to staffs with nine lay teachers who need competitive wages for every nun, said Sister Rita Sturwold, the Cincinnati Archdiocese's assistant superintendent for development. "We have to be realistic on how much it costs to educate a child," she said. "On the average, elementary tuition is $900 when the per-pupil cost is closer to $1,800." More non-Catholic parents are sending their children to Catholic schools.

In some inner-city schools, non-Catholic students are 90 of the student body, Connelly said. The two archdioceses, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, and one diocese, Covington, with schools in the 13-county Cincinnati area all have increased enrollments, officials say. Nearly 50,000 students 38,700 in Hamilton, Brown, Butler, Clermont and Warren counties in Ohio; 10,491 in Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton and Pendleton counties in Kentucky; and '590 in Dearborn and Ohio counties in Indiana attend Catholic schools, almost equal to the Man already in jail charged with robbery enrollment of Cincinnati Public Schools. On the Ohio side of the river, about 45 of the school-age Catholic children go to Catholic schools. Educators say the reasons for the increase are sound academic programs with a base of values.

"The teacher is a linker of the world and spirituality," said Carol Gura, director of evangelization for the Diocese of Cleveland. "We talk about math scores and how ready they (students) are for the testing. We rarely talk about God's presence in the schools." Parental involvement from staffing reception desks to painting classrooms involvement many public schools are struggling to rebuild is a key to the success. "Parents do all sorts of things in schools today," Sturwold said. That increases their commitment and lowers our costs." robbery Sunday of the In and Out Market, 7088 Taylor Mill Road in Independence.

Creekmore was charged with first-degree robbery, a felony punishable by 10 to 15 years in prison, Police Capt. Michael Browning said. Creekmore is being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center in Cincinnati on unrelated charges, Browning said. Lottery tickets that were taken during the robbery and then cashed in at other locations led police to the suspect, he said.
