Now he's reprising that nastiness - and some of the same lines - for his new role as a treacherous lion in Disney's animated film, "The Lion King." Irons is the voice of Scar, the king's evil brother who loses his chance at the throne when a boy cub is born to the king. Disney animators said they were inspired by Irons' role . in "Reversal of Fortune" when they began creating the villain four years ago. So not only did they enlist Irons' help, they even gave him some mthe same dialogue. • The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of Americans applying the first time for unemployment benefits shot up last week to the highest level in more than a year and a half.

Losing the West Virginia Belle made Huntington residents pay attention. The Belle was sold up the river early this year to a company that planned on using it for riverboat gam­ bling. The possibility ofriverboat gambling has been hanging around the state for some time, but the loss of the Belle brought it to the forefront again. The Legislature is working on a bill to make river­ boat gambling a possibility. The bill, if passed, asks for gaming to be allowed on the Kanawha, Ohio and· Monongalia Rivers. But the step is a complicated one. In order to bring the gambling boats onto the rivers, the Legislature would have to pass it, the governor would have to sign it and the voters would have to adopt a constitutional amendment. And that is exactly what one lobbying group would like. The group is trying to change the image of M~NENDEZFfMILY MEMBER gamblingin this area. Thatis one reason they stopped using the word gambling and began using gaming. Many opponents say gambling will not bring in the revenue or. the jobs this lobbying group promises.

ASA THE PAR TH ENON 8 FRI DAY, FEB.4, 1994 According to the Huntington City Mission's 1993 Activity Report, 43,608 men, women and children were given lodging and 130,047 meals were served last year. Compared to 1992, lodging has increased by 13 percent and meals have increased by 10 percent. Homeless In Hunting·tan -- city Mission offers shelter, food and hope Robyn Groves is 30 and has three children. For the past 10 years, she has lived in Portsmouth, Ohio, with a boyfriend who she said physically abused ~er, and eventually, shot her in the hip. She spent 26 days in the hospital recovei:ingfrom the shooting that also ruptured her gallbladder and damaged her liver and stomach. The boyfriend served five months in jail. Ronald "Tiny' Smith is 43 and has a criminal record. His crimes include breaking and entering, burglary, grand larceny, and unaggrevated robbery. He has been in-prison nine of the past 16 years. , These people are different, but they have one thing in common. They turned to the Huntington City Mission for help. The mission is located at 1030 Seventh Ave. According to Carolyn J. Hager, community relations director for the mission, the mission houses 120 to 150 people a night. "We provide atleast two nights free lodging with no questions asked otherthan their Social-Security number, where they came from, ifthey have any family, and if they're on any medication," Hager said. •After the two nights, they have to go on some kind of program," she said. -rhey either have to go to Harmony House and qualify for the program with the Department of Human Services or they have to talk to the personnel here about going on the Work Rehabilitation Program." The people who sign up for the work program work for the mission in exchange for room and board, clothing, and hygiene products, she said. Groves came to Huntington last summer. She said she was advised was to leave Ohio for her own protection. She was sent to Branches, a domestic violence shelt;e.r in Huntington. Branches put her and her children in public housing at Marcum Terrace. She said she lost the apartment at Marcum Terrace because there was fighting around her apartment. Groves said that while she lived at Marcum Terrace, she had been beaten up three times and had her car stolen and totaled. -when I called the mission, they told me to come right in," Groves said. Groves cr~dits Rev. Danny Nichols,mission men's supervisor,for helping her overcome a drinking problem that she attributes to years of physical abuse. ~e gave ine a new outlook on life," she said.

Smith came to the misaion about three weeks ago after leaving his father's home in Glenwood, W.Va. He said his parole officer referred him to the mission.
