Horn ish Jr. adjusting· to·NASCAR after Indy success -By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week DOVER, Del. - Sam Hornish Jr. is getting the hang of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. · Hornish, from Defiance, Ohio, has quite the impressive resume. He is a former winner of the Indianapolis 500 and a three·time IndyCar champion . When he struggled in NASCAR, many observers anticipated that he might return to the open-wheel ranks , but the challenge of adapting to stock cars appealed to Hornish. Though he was runner-up in tlie Raybestos Rqokie of the Year. race - to . Regan Smith - Hornish was only _35th in the final standings. He has stuck with the NASCAR experiment, and re- oeritly his performances have notably improved: He . finished ninth at Phoenix, sixth at Richmond, 16th at Charlotte and 13th in Dover's Autism · · Speaks 400. Falling from the spotlight in . NASCAR didn't faze Hornish. "I've never really considered myself somebody that needed a bunch of attention," he said. "To be able to sit back and watch what other people are doing, and not have all the pressure on you all the time was good. It enabled · me sometimes to learn a little bit more and also be able to kind of fly under the radar and·to be able to make my way in and out of certain areas. "The better you do, the more consistently that you're in the top IS, the top 10, you're going to get more and more attention. Obviously, I want that because it means we're running well, but as far as needing it; keeping the sponsor (Mobil!) happy is the first thing, and then also keeping myself happy ils far as how we do ·on the race track are the two most important things." Part of Harnish's transition has involved adapting to NASCAR's longer races. "I had all that experience running the Indy cars," he said, "and a lot of times I consider those sprint races because they're.200 laps or 200 miles. Everything that we run over here is 400 or SOD 'laps, or 400 or 500 miles. Somelimes it's a matter of pacing yourself to get to the end with all tbe fenders intact." ., OBITUARIES ::Page AS ;.

POMEROY - Regular ,1.11onthly meeting of Board of Elections, 8:30 a.m. MDANEWSOMYDAILVREGtSTER.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - Citing the need for a preliminar;Y audif and review of its findings, the West Virginia Public Service Cpmmission has denied an interim rate increase sought ' by Appalachian and Wheeling power companies. . The inrerim rate hike of 18.5 percent. or $180 million, was requested as an Expanded Net Energy Cost (ENEC) mcrease. In March, Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power filed for a 43 percent increase phased in over three years that would generate an estimated $442 million, almost of all of . it to oover projected higher fuel . costs. and purchase of power from other sources. The interim increase was subject to refund. Both Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power are sub. sidiaries of Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric 'Powe(. In a news release , the PSC said Thursday's decision to deny ihe interim increase was partly based in concerns over customers' ability to meet higher rates. ''Granting AEP's request to implement such a large and compl~x rate i·ncrease, even if subject to refun~. without a prehmmary audit and (PSC) rev1ew of that aud1t could produce financial hardships on customers, especially in these difficult economic times," the PSC release said . . The three-year rate hike was filed with tlie PSC on March · 9. After the PSC suspended rates ·unlil Dec. 5, 2009, Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power sought the inlerim rate hike, which they said is subject to refund. Despite the. December deadline. the PSC hopes to'make a decision by the end of September on the overall increase request. The. ENEC process allows electric ulilit1es thai generate !heir own power to adjust the .fuel-related costs in their rates once a year. ENEC costs also cover purchased power and pollution control equipment costs, but include no profit to the corppany. . · · In an interview with the OVP last month, Appalachian Power spokepersons Phil Moye and Jeri Matheney stressed that the rate hike was sought to cov(;!r an increase m the cost of coal to fuel its power plants. Appalachian officials expect the price of a ton of coal to go from its current $45 to $70 in the near future. "We agree it's massive," Matheney said about the rate hike request. "But it's a reflection of the coal industry in the previous year and in the next." · .· Matheney told The Associated Press that Appalachian was disappointed by the decision. · tals to pay out $411 million more than would be returned.

POMEROY - Regular ,1.11onthly meeting of Board of Elections, 8:30 a.m. MDANEWSOMYDAILVREGtSTER.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - Citing the need for a preliminar;Y audif and review of its findings, the West Virginia Public Service Cpmmission has denied an interim rate increase sought ' by Appalachian and Wheeling power companies. . The inrerim rate hike of 18.5 percent. or $180 million, was requested as an Expanded Net Energy Cost (ENEC) mcrease. In March, Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power filed for a 43 percent increase phased in over three years that would generate an estimated $442 million, almost of all of . it to oover projected higher fuel . costs. and purchase of power from other sources. The interim increase was subject to refund. Both Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power are sub. sidiaries of Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric 'Powe(. In a news release , the PSC said Thursday's decision to deny ihe interim increase was partly based in concerns over customers' ability to meet higher rates. ''Granting AEP's request to implement such a large and compl~x rate i·ncrease, even if subject to refun~. without a prehmmary audit and (PSC) rev1ew of that aud1t could produce financial hardships on customers, especially in these difficult economic times," the PSC release said . . The three-year rate hike was filed with tlie PSC on March · 9. After the PSC suspended rates ·unlil Dec. 5, 2009, Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power sought the inlerim rate hike, which they said is subject to refund. Despite the. December deadline. the PSC hopes to'make a decision by the end of September on the overall increase request. The. ENEC process allows electric ulilit1es thai generate !heir own power to adjust the .fuel-related costs in their rates once a year. ENEC costs also cover purchased power and pollution control equipment costs, but include no profit to the corppany. . · · In an interview with the OVP last month, Appalachian Power spokepersons Phil Moye and Jeri Matheney stressed that the rate hike was sought to cov(;!r an increase m the cost of coal to fuel its power plants. Appalachian officials expect the price of a ton of coal to go from its current $45 to $70 in the near future. "We agree it's massive," Matheney said about the rate hike request. "But it's a reflection of the coal industry in the previous year and in the next." · .· Matheney told The Associated Press that Appalachian was disappointed by the decision. · tals to pay out $411 million more than would be returned.

Invectives couched as "demonstrating ·concerns about one's background" have no place in politics today. Members of the U.S. Senate are called · upon to advise and consent -- not use ·the nomination process tQ demonize and fearmonger for partisan political gain. It's wron~ when the .Jeft smears jud1cial candidates and equally so for the right. The debate should focus on Sotomayor's judicial record, and ihere is plenty there to discuss in a civil manner. What's so curious about all this trumped-up outrage is that Sotomayor has made simi· Jar rem'arks in the past. In a 1994 speech on women in the judiciary before . tho Conference on Law Reviews, · Sotomayor said: "First, if Professor Martha Minnow is correct, there can never be a universal definition of 'wise.' Second, I would hope that a wise woman with the richness of her experience would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion. What is better? I, like Professor Resnik, hope that better will mean a more comr.assionate and caring cone usion." These comments were disclosed to the Senate Judiciary Committee when Sotomayor was nominated for the Court of Appeals in 1997. Yet not one word of alarm arose from anyone in the U.S. Senate. No one lifted an eyebrow. So what's the big deal now? Why have critics like Pat Buchanan gone so far as to 1;311 upon conservatives to "stand up for · the white working class?" It's imponant that cooler · heads examine Sotomayor's statements and her rulinf:l. They will find that the. potnt the judge was trying to make. is that life experience, including · one's backgrounc;l, can impact how judges understand the facts of cases - but not deter· mine the outcome or how they will apply the law. · Moreover, Sotomayor' luis confirmed ·that it is the rule of law, not one's personal background, that guides a decision. Patrick Leahy, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will oversee her nomination ~ asked Sotomayor for clarification on her "wise Latina remark." According to Leahy, she responded, "Of course one's life expe!'ience shapes who you are." But, she added, "Ultimately and completely, · a judge has to follow the law no matter what their upbringing has been." Senators on both sides are now calling for a. fair and civil confrrmation 'process. Judge Sonia Sotomayor and the American people deserve nothin!) less. If given a fair heanng, I have no doubt that a smart and dedicated jurist who also happens to be a wise Latina will be sitting on the bench when the Supreme Court convenes later this year.

Invectives couched as "demonstrating ·concerns about one's background" have no place in politics today. Members of the U.S. Senate are called · upon to advise and consent -- not use ·the nomination process tQ demonize and fearmonger for partisan political gain. It's wron~ when the .Jeft smears jud1cial candidates and equally so for the right. The debate should focus on Sotomayor's judicial record, and ihere is plenty there to discuss in a civil manner. What's so curious about all this trumped-up outrage is that Sotomayor has made simi· Jar rem'arks in the past. In a 1994 speech on women in the judiciary before . tho Conference on Law Reviews, · Sotomayor said: "First, if Professor Martha Minnow is correct, there can never be a universal definition of 'wise.' Second, I would hope that a wise woman with the richness of her experience would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion. What is better? I, like Professor Resnik, hope that better will mean a more comr.assionate and caring cone usion." These comments were disclosed to the Senate Judiciary Committee when Sotomayor was nominated for the Court of Appeals in 1997. Yet not one word of alarm arose from anyone in the U.S. Senate. No one lifted an eyebrow. So what's the big deal now? Why have critics like Pat Buchanan gone so far as to 1;311 upon conservatives to "stand up for · the white working class?" It's imponant that cooler · heads examine Sotomayor's statements and her rulinf:l. They will find that the. potnt the judge was trying to make. is that life experience, including · one's backgrounc;l, can impact how judges understand the facts of cases - but not deter· mine the outcome or how they will apply the law. · Moreover, Sotomayor' luis confirmed ·that it is the rule of law, not one's personal background, that guides a decision. Patrick Leahy, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will oversee her nomination ~ asked Sotomayor for clarification on her "wise Latina remark." According to Leahy, she responded, "Of course one's life expe!'ience shapes who you are." But, she added, "Ultimately and completely, · a judge has to follow the law no matter what their upbringing has been." Senators on both sides are now calling for a. fair and civil confrrmation 'process. Judge Sonia Sotomayor and the American people deserve nothin!) less. If given a fair heanng, I have no doubt that a smart and dedicated jurist who also happens to be a wise Latina will be sitting on the bench when the Supreme Court convenes later this year.

Besides watering each carefully, you also, of course, have to decide where to plant them. .All _this work and plal)mng 1s unnecessary with ,flowers that self-sow, replanting themselves from seed every year.

Shirley poppies are another self-sower, O/lfolding papery, cardinal red flowers each spring. · · Also reliably coming back each year, all by themselves from self-sown seeds, are calendulas, also known as pot marigolds.

There's ferny-foliaged cosmos as well as that old·fashioned · flower, bush balsam, a relative of impatiens with upright stems along which open red, pink or white blossoms that resemble miniature roses. Even impaliens itself sometimes is a self-sower. These self-sowing flow ers do need a little care beyond their first planting.

Fox,glove is a self-sowing b1enmal that may be too freely self-sowing in your garden, so much so that you have to "weed" it out completely. Or not. Nicotiana is also very free in this sense.
