Meigs TB office promotes
active prevention program
By CHARLENE HOEFLICH
Sentinel News Staff
While the state of Ohio has shown
a 4.3 percent increase m the number
of tuberculosis cases m the past year,
Metgs County has been successful in
avenmg spread of the disease through
an aggressive program of prevention,
control and treatment.
Conme Karschmk, R.N., execultve dtrector of the . Meigs County
Tuberculosis and Health Clinic, credtls the county's suppon of a tax levy
for success of the program, whtch
allows a paid full-time staff to work
m a program of detectmg and treatmg tuberculosts.
She reponed that m 1997, agency

4,067 office contacts, administered
3,659 sk10 tests, made 610 home and
outside visits. along wuh 155 school
vtsits and contacts. Skm tesung clmtcs have been held around the coun ty, and Karschmk satd that commumttes have responded well to the
agency's extra effons to provtde services in their home areas.

In 1997, Roy L. Donnerberg, •

chest x-ray.
Tuberculosts " a dtsease that ts
spread from person to person through

She said that in Ohio there is an
estimated 140,000 to 210,000 Ohio

By Sept 30, 1997, there were 222
cases of tuberculoSIS reported to the
Ohto Department of Health.
The resul!mg case rate was 2 per
100.000 populatton. a four percent
increase over the number of cases
reported in 1996. In Ohto last year,
more than 244 cases of active tuberculosts were reponed Nat10nally,
nearly 17.000new cases were reported, the nurse reported

Department of Health m 1997 with
reSIStance to lsomaztd, the medtcatton used routmely for preventive
therapy as well as acttve treatment of
the dtscase.
Karschnik remmds restdents of
what happened a decade ago She
satd that m the mtd 1980s the nauon
let tiS guard down, leading to a resurgence of tuberculosis.
"The country became complacent
about the dtsease, and many states
and cities redirected tuberculosis preventton and control funds to other
areas. Consequently, the trend toward
ellmmat10n was reversed, and drug
resistant strains emerged that were
more deadly than ever before," she
satd.
The Tuberculosis Office and
Health Cllntc was gutded m 1997 by
" I think there is an honest difference of opmion among some environmentalists, and the antt-immigration forces are trymg to take advantage of that ," Pope satd "They are
major players m this election. They
are spending a lot of money to try to
convince our members to come out in
favor of reducing immtgratton."
To most envtronmentalists, the
population-growth problem has nothing to do wtth immtgration.
Their goal is to slow the birth rate
throughout the world to prevent peopie from devouring the eanh's natur-al resources, fouling the air wtth pollution and trampling oul the habitat
of birds and animals.
"Envtronmental problems don't
respect borders," said Sidonie Chtapella, population program coordinator for the National Wildife Federa!ton. "Even tf we closed our borders
tomorrow, we would still be affected
by what's happemng in the rest of the
world. It's mescapable."
But Alan Kuper, a Cleveland resident and member of the Sierra

hts fellow environmentalists are in
denial about the true effects of immtgra!ton
"The truth ts 11 matters very much

These reforms were part of a larger package of Medicare home health
changes announced Jan. 13 when
President Clinton and Health and
Human Services Secretary Donna
Shalala lifted an unprecedented fourmonth moratonum on accepting new
providers into the program.
"Our beneficiaries need to know
that the home health agencies who do
business with Medicare are sound
and reliable," Shalala said. "And taxpayers need to know that their dollars
are being used effectively to deliver
needed care."
The reforms appear to be aimed as
much at fraud as they are at control·
ling growth in the industry.
Since 1989, the number of
Medicare home health agencies has
nearly doubled and per-beneficiary
average annual spending nearly
tnpled to $3,987.
Home health cost Medicare nearly $18 billion m the past year almost I0 percent of its budget.
That's up from $2.7 billion in 1990,
about 3 percent of the budget.

The Southern Local Board of
Education, meeting in regular session
Monday night at Southern High
School in Racine. went on record
opposing a one cent statewide sales
tax increase for the May 5 ballot.
The board's resolution in opposition to State Issue 2 contends the
sales tax increase does not address the
Ohio Supreme Court's ruling a year
ago today that Ohio's system of public education is neither thorough nor
efficient. .
" ... The state's response to the
decision is totally incomplete and
inadequate ... and Ohio's public
school children will continue to be
subjected to sub-par facilities, curricula, technology and classroom
supplies," the resolution reads.
"One part of the state's response is
a statewide ballot proposal for a one
cent increase in the state sales tax,
and ... there is no evidence that the
school funding system will be
improved even with the passage of
. .. ~~s l,ii,X iiiG~ase. and ... school
districts ;,.ilf ~ fOrced t'o"'go to the
voters.''
Superintendent James Lawrence
said the state is not being up front
about how the money will be used.
Half of the money is for schools
while the other half is for residential
property tax relief; however, the state .
has not said how much the taKes
would be lowered.
In the meantime, the board is
seeking local approvnl of a combined
5.39 mill bondllevy issue pn May 5
for construction of a new K-8 building and renovations to the high
school.
Addressing the concerns of district
employees, the board approved a I'C!Solution stating that no present
employees of the district would lose
their jobs due to construction of the
new building.
Lawrence said any possible cutbacks in personnel would be resolved
through regular retirement of
employee~.
In personnel matt~lli. the board
approved the retirement of bus driver
Bob Dudding, and the resignatio(l of
Joyce Thoren as special education
coordinator.
The board accepted the resignation of reserve baseball coach Scott

immediately.
The board also reviewed new.

Meigs County Commisstoners
lashed out at county home supporters
Monday afternoon, accusing members of an ad hoc county home committee of upsetting the home's residents and sabotagmg efforts to find
them new places to live.
Accustomed to taking shots from
the group, Commissioners Janet
Howard and Fred Hoffman engaged
in a heated discussion wtth commtttee members Bob Smiddie, Dale
Colburn, Jean Grueser and Guy
Hysell over the future of the Meigs
County Home.
Commissioner Jeff Thornton did
not attend the meeting.
Commission President Howard
accused the committee of agitating
the nine residents of the county
home while sabotaging efforts to find
· them new places to live.
She was firm in defending the
board's decision to close the home as
a permanent dwelling effective
March 31, but also added that it is
highly unlikely the county will be
able to close the doors on the facihty on that date.
Commissioners also refused to
grant an executive session requested
by Smiddie to discuss complaints the
commtttee has wtth interim county
home matron Mildred Jacobs, who
was appointed following the resignation of matron Sharon Johnson a
few weeks ago.
Smiddie Said Jacobs is not allowing workers at the county home to
shave the residents or to wash the residcnts' hair, that she verbally confronted one resident, who as a result
urinated in his pants.
Howard defended Jacobs' policies,
noting that one condition of residency at the county home is to be able
to take care of personal hygiene. If
they cannot shave or shampoo their
hair, they need to be at a dtfferent
facility. she explained On the other
incident, Howard said the resident in
question has a problem with frequently wetting hts pants
Grueser was cntical of the board
hiring Jacobs due to her age Jacobs is a senior citizen - and also
accused the board of putting a person
in charge who agrees the county
home should be closed. To suppon
her argument, Grueser cited a letter
Jacobs earlier wrote to The Daily
Sentinel.
On other complaints at the county home, Howard said the residents
have rules now designed for their
safety.
"The safety of the residents IS our
number one concern," Howard said.
adding that before Jacobs took pver,
one particular resident was allowed to
wander about Pomeroy, posmg a
threat to himself by occ;c;ionally
wnlking in the roadways.
"There have not been a lot of rules
set forth in the past." How~rd said.
She then proceeded to accuse the
committee of hindering the pl~cement of the residents •n permanent
factltttes or housmg.
"If we were allowed to close the
home in a timely manner we wouldn't have these people tortured by a
commtUee that JS there to help them."
she said.
"We would like to see them have
a suitable home," she added. "The
facility wtll be closed in a manner
that will not cause harm to clients."
. Howard said she talked to one restden~ who is blind, who wa.' asked to

BAGHDAD. Iraq (AP) -U.N. weapons mspections of Iraqi presidenifafcompounds came a step closer !0 reality today when 18 diplomats appointed by the United Nations to accompany inspectors arrived in Baghdad.
Chtef U.N. weapons inspector Richard Butler IS in Iraq working out procedures for examining the eight palace compounds. He has satd the vtsits

The diplomats·arrived from Bahrain at Habaniyah air ba~e outside Baghdad and were driven to the capital. U.N. officials in Bahrain said two others
already were in Iraq.
Using diplomats to accompany arms inspectors to the palaces wa.~ part
of a deal worked out by U.N Secretary-General Kofi Annan last month that
avened a threatened U.S. and British attack on Iraq to force entry to the compounds.
·
.
Iraq had maintained the palaces were symbols of nattonal soveretgnty and
should not·be inspected. Washington and London insist the inspectors must
have unfettered access in their search for Iraq's weapons of mass destruc·
lion.
U.N. officials have satd the actual palaces are not as interesting as other
buildings on the compound,, which oc~upy about 12 square miles and incl~
1,058 butldings.
The group of dtplomats ts led by Jayantha Dhanapnla, Srt Lanka's former ambassador to the United Nations.
Iraq refusal to allow inspections o~ the palace compounds had ca~s.ed a
five-month standoff, bringing the regton to the bnnk of war. The mthtary
forces amassed by the United States and Britain remain in place in the Persian Gulf.
Butler has refused to say how long the searches wtlllast. Under the agreement, the inspectors have the nght to make as many visits as they like.
On Monday. Butler met with Oil Mimster Lt. Gen. Amer Mohammed
Rashid. the Iraqi official in charge of the country's missile program, the official Iraqi News Agen~y reported. No details of the meeting we~ avatlable.
Butler's inspectors must make sure that Iraq has destroyed all us weapons
of mass destructton, tncluding nuclear mtssiles and chemical and biOlogical
weapons.
.
Until that happens, the U.N. Security Council will not lift the economtc
sanctions imposed on Iraq after Its 1990 mvasion of Kuwait, whtch sparked
the 1991 Gulf War.

clean mr and water any more.
Increasingly, the nation's maJor
conservation groups are lobbymg
Congress for federal funds to provide
btnh contrOl to women m the United
States and around the world - a
stance that has swept them into the
emotional politics of abortion and
family planning.
lfthat's not controverstal enough._
some environmentalists have taken
the population-growth debate in a
radtcally new directton, advocating
that the U.S. government reduce the
number of tmmtgrants allowed into
the country. They argue that the last
. thing the world needs ts more Amer1cans in gas-guzzhng spons utihty
vehicles pollutmg the earth.
In an election that threatens to split
the environmental community, the
Sierra Club's 550,000 members are
voting by mail on whether to endorse
a populatton policy calling for a net
reduction in immigration. The election - forced by dissident club
members in Ohio - ends April 18.
Meanwhtle. leaders of The
Wtlderness Society last month qutetly adopted a pohcy that says "both
binh rates and immigration rates
need to be reduced."
All thts may leave some Americans wondenng . how dtd envtronmentahsm move from defending the
earth to barricading the border?
Carl Pope, the Sterra Club's executtve~
· rector. said he believes antitmmig lion forces are trvme to
recruit nvironmentahsts 10 an effon
to len credibtlity to thetr cause Pope
believes the Sterra Club and other
environmentalists should stay o ut of
the dtvistve tmmtgration debate.

Despite GOP majority,
Democrats would be
decisive in impeachment
By WALTER A. MEARS
AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGlDN - Repuhllcans would run the show, but Democrms
would be dcc1s1ve m wnlmg the laS! act should 11 come to Impeachment procecd mgs agamst President Clmton
A maJOflty 1sn'1 enough to undo a prcs1dent
Two th11ds of the Senate would have to vote to conv1ct on Impeachment,
wh1ch takes a maJorlly 10 the House It could be done on party lines 10 the
House wh1ch wouldn I be pollllcally smart And 11 would take Democratic
votes 10 the Senate to force the final step
Beyond that as a pract1cal pollllcal maller 11 would take a consensus
agamsl Clmton m and beyond Congress At th1s pmnl, there's no such
mood
And to proceed Without one would put the Republican< mto uncertam and
poss1bly nsky terntory dunng the campa1gn for the off-year congresSional

Clinton IS st1ll sconng approval ratmgs m the two-thlfds range, although
those polls come wuh maJOnlles also say mg they would turn agamsl h1m
were 11 proven that he lied and tned to obstruct JUStice
Poll s can plunge , as R1chard N1xon 's d1d m Watergate By early 1973, he
, had dropped from 1he kind of numbers Clinton enJoys now to under 30 percent
The N1 xon case 1s the only modern precedent And h1s fate hmged on fellow Republicans, who told h1m he had to go after disclosure of h1s own taperecorded words of Watergate cover-up days after the 1972 break-m
Unlll then , he hung on, musmg about av01dmg conv1cllon and ouster by
the Senate even after he knew a House maJOnly would vote to 1mpeach h1m
But h1s lime was up m 1974 when the Republicans sa1d so, and the mmon: ty vole he d thought m1ght save h1m m the Senate shrank to a handful of last
· line allies
That was m a Democratic Congress The House Jud1c1ary Committee
, voted three art1cles of Impeachment agamst N1xon who got only 10 Republican votes and lost them all after the eVIdence essenllally proved the coverup arttcle
Republicans began turmng agamst N1xon long before that pomt 1n the
W,uergate case By the spnng of 1974. two Republican senators had sa1d he
shou ld reSign, a 1h1rd had forecast that he would, another had suggested that
he stand as1dc tcmporanly
CongressiOnal Democrats aren'lratlymg to defend Chnton m the case of
lhc women and Whitewater, but none has turned openly agamst h1m
Instead they say they II accept Clinton's demals of the sex and cover-up

Annual Branson/Larson Classic Saturday at Eldora
By SCOTT WOLFE,
Sentinel Correspondent
ROSSBURG - Just as unpredictable as the spring weather for
Eldora Speedway's traditional season
opener for the United States Auto
Club (USAC) Sprint Cars is the entry
list and outcome of the event itself.
That uncertainty holds true for this
year's contest, slated for Saturday
evening, March 28 when Eldora and
USAC combine their efforts to present the annual Don Branson/Jud Larson Classic on the one-half mile clay
oval.

COLUMBUS -School officials
and lawmakers sparred over the Leg'islature's plan to lh the school-funding problem. Politicians campaigned
on the issue.
About the only ones who didn 't
have something to say Tuesday the anniversary of the day the Ohio
Supreme Court declared the state

tiona! - were the members of the
Ohio Supreme Court.
On March 24, L997, the court told
_lawmak_ers they had one year to
come up with a solution to Ohio's
school-funding woes. but it didn't
spell out what would happen when
the deadline finally arrived.
· The answer. for at least one day,
was nothing.
But that didn't stop critics and
supporters of the Legislature's
resp<)nse \0 the court ruling from
arguing over the merits of the plan.
"The state's response in total is in
. contempt of the coun order for a
complete, systematic overhaul,"
William Phillis, the lead~r of the
UCK
group that successfully challenged
the school funding system. said at a

chart strategy
By JIM FREEMAN
Sentinel News Staff
Supporters of a proposed K-8 elementary school for children in the Southem Local School District mel Tuesday evening to chart campaign strategy
for the upcoming ballot issue.
·
Using the theme, "A new school for a new century." members of the South·
ern !.Deal Building Committee are hoping voters in the district approve a 5.39
mill combined bond/levy issue that will raise $4,042.000 for conslrllction of
a district wide elementary school.
The money, if approved by voters, will be combined with $3,651.800 in
stale building a.~sistance funds .
One problem the committee faces is a lack of time. Building proponent~
are counting the minutes until the May 5 .primary election, when the isslje ,
will be presented to district voters. Only 41 days remain until election day.·
ApproKim4tely 20 people attended the meeting bel~ at Southern Local
High.SChool. Members proofread campaign literature.and made plans to go
door-to-door throughout the district - concentrating on th.e villages and oth·
er populated areas- in an effort to drum up support for the new school.
The building. if constructed, will house up to 650 students and contain,
in addition to regular classrooms. science laboratories. special education
rooms. a gymnasium. library. reading. art and music rooms. a computer lab
and a'cafeteria/auditorium. according to a campaign brochure.
Renovations \O Southern High School will include a new library. co m ~ ·
puler lab; science laboratory. renovation of the eKisting library into typing/business classrooms. and an art room.

Strickland trumpets funding for con~ector; 'crumbs,' says Hollister
By JIM FREEMAN
Sentinel News Staff
U.S . Rep. Ted Strickland. D·
Lucasvi lie, announced today that he
has secured $5 million for continued
design and construction of the
Ravenswood Connector project in
Meigs County.
Meanwhile, Ohio Lt. Governor
Nancy Hollister - herself a candi·
date' for Strickland's Sixth District
Congressional seat - accused Strick·
land of "dropping the ball" on the
project.
Strickland secured the funding in
the $217 billion transpoJ'Iation bill
that the House Transportation Com·.
mittee approved late Tuesday after-
noon. The funding levels are now
subject to approval by the whole
House and the Senate.
"The construction of the
Raven~wood Connector is crucial to
exp_anding job opportunities for
working families in Meigs County,"
Strickland said. "I fought hard up in
Washington to make sure that the
connector gets its fair share.
"T~y. I'm thrilled to announce
the culmination of months of hard
work - $5 million for design work
and construction of the Ravenswood
Connector," he added.
The project will construct an
improved two-lane highway on State
Route 124. Aloog with projects to
upgrade and improve U.S. 33, this
project will help provide a link
between 33 in Ohio and Interstate 77
in Ravenswood. W.Va.
"I will continue to fight for this
project as it moves through the House
and Senate," said Strickland.
Strickland said the $5 million
will augment the $1.3 million he pre·
viously secured for the project.
Meigs County Chamber of Commerce President Sue Maison, who is
also chairwoman of the Meigs County Democratic Party, said, "The
Jtavenswood Connector is key to
economic develop~ent. in Meigs
County. Ted has really been there for
us and has helped in every possible

of "wasting his chances at improvin~ Ohio highway efforts," said Hollister.
Last month, Hollister unveiled a
plan to provide nearly $250 million
in federal and stale matching funds
for southern Ohio roads over six
years.
The money would see five pro•jects through to completion. she said.
Those projects include: the
