Siting board to consider AEP proposal Bv BRIAN By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week VIctory Junction Gang Camp add8 bowling alley David Reutimann, a candidate for Raybestos Rookie of the Year in the Nexte l Cup Series, is enduring the same frustrations being experienced by everyone at Michael Waltrip Racing, which also fields Toyota Camrys for Waltrip and DaJe Jarrett. "We're just not doing the job," he said. "The teams aren't doing the job.

The Johhsons pledged $600,000, of which $425.000 has already been raised Work ethic isn't the problem. Now is a time when Reutimann and his team must avoid the urge to panic. "You end up trying to work smarter and not harder," he said. "That's what you want to end up happening. So much has been just getting to the race track; get cars built and get to the race track . ... You get a car done, you get it out and you go racing. There's not time to develop it whenever you're trying to get cars built. I hope with the week off, our guys won't have any time off, but I hope they'll be able to get more caught up with some of the things we've put in place to do better. Hopefully some results ivill be obvious at Texas next week." The problem is general, not sp~cif­ ic. Reutimann is 43rd in the points standings, which is understandable given that he has made the field for only four of the season's first six races. Waltrip has failed to qualify five races in a row. "I don't think it's any one thing that stands out," said·Reutimann. "It's just a bunch of small things that add up.

Mine they really haven't had anything to say at this point as they continue with the per.mitting process. Unlike the permit process for the two power plants proposed for Meigs County which require public meetings by law, the law does not require Gatling hold a pu_blic meeting about its proposed coaJ mine. However, the law requires the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to host an informal conference after request to document residents' concerns about the operation which is currently being planned.

I dealt with my father in a care center for six years. My brother would visit periodically, and, out of four grandchildren, only one came by.

Sunday,April15,2007 Mulford went on to compare the change of venue motion in the Beach case to the change of venue motion in the Burton case, who also requested a change of venue on the basis of extensive pretrial publicity, citing several newspaper articles in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Columbus Dispatch, in addition to reports on WSAZ Channel 3 news. The Burton motion was denied and he was ultimately tried in Gallia County. "The type and amount of pretrial publicity in the instant case is cenainly less exten sive than that in the Burton case," wrote Mulford. The state also filed responses to the other motions filed by Beach 's attorneys, including a motion to prohibit displaying tangible things during trial and a motion to exclude photographs of the victim from the trial. In the motion to exclude tangible things, ' Eachus argued that allowing the display of certain tangible evidence throughout the trial and before it is admitted into evidence would distract the jurors' att~n­ tion, unfairly and disproportionately amplify those items above their relative importance to the case, and if the evidence was later found inadmissible, the jury would not be able to erase the jmages from their memory. " ... (G)iven the nature of the evidence that the state is certain to attempt to admit, if this gruesome evidence is constantly before the jurors •during trial it will most certainly undermine defendant's constitutional rights to a full and fair adjudication of the offense charged," wrote Eachus.

Blankenship graduated from Hocking College' s culinary arts program in June and returned to school in the fall to pursue a degree in hotel and restaurant management, college spokeswoman Judy Sinnott said.

Mine they really haven't had anything to say at this point as they continue with the per.mitting process. Unlike the permit process for the two power plants proposed for Meigs County which require public meetings by law, the law does not require Gatling hold a pu_blic meeting about its proposed coaJ mine. However, the law requires the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to host an informal conference after request to document residents' concerns about the operation which is currently being planned.

"Finally, photographs depicting the · victim in a 'beaten . condition' are admissible in a.prosecution for attempted murder, even where the defendant argues that photograph s depit:t nothing more than the extent of the beating, are cumulative, and would inflame the jury's sympathy for the victim," wrote Mulford. The hearing on pending motions is set for Wednes~ay, J.une 27 at I p.m., and the trial is tentatively set for Aug. 7 at 9 a.m. Beach was indicied by the Gallia County grand jury for attempted murder following his arrest on Jan.

Dear Annie: I can relate to "Unwilling Inmate," whose wife spends a lot of time visiting her mother in a nursing home . I hope he remains patient and supportive . I dealt with my father in a care center for six years. My brother would visit periodically, and, out of four grandchildren, only one came by. I always felt I needed to compensate for everyone else's neglect. It put a strain on our marriage, but my husband was understanding, and I know I was there for- my dad until the end. "Unwilling's" wife needs her husband 's support. After all, one day it could be him waiting in the home for visitors. - Been There, Done That in the Midwest Dear Been There: Thanks for putting things in perspective.

Sunday,April15,2007 Mulford went on to compare the change of venue motion in the Beach case to the change of venue motion in the Burton case, who also requested a change of venue on the basis of extensive pretrial publicity, citing several newspaper articles in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Columbus Dispatch, in addition to reports on WSAZ Channel 3 news. The Burton motion was denied and he was ultimately tried in Gallia County. "The type and amount of pretrial publicity in the instant case is cenainly less exten sive than that in the Burton case," wrote Mulford. The state also filed responses to the other motions filed by Beach 's attorneys, including a motion to prohibit displaying tangible things during trial and a motion to exclude photographs of the victim from the trial. In the motion to exclude tangible things, ' Eachus argued that allowing the display of certain tangible evidence throughout the trial and before it is admitted into evidence would distract the jurors' att~n­ tion, unfairly and disproportionately amplify those items above their relative importance to the case, and if the evidence was later found inadmissible, the jury would not be able to erase the jmages from their memory. " ... (G)iven the nature of the evidence that the state is certain to attempt to admit, if this gruesome evidence is constantly before the jurors •during trial it will most certainly undermine defendant's constitutional rights to a full and fair adjudication of the offense charged," wrote Eachus. The state did not object to the defendant's motion to prohibit the constant display of exhibits when the exhibits were not being Friday 4 PM until Saturday 10 AM ARoUND.ToWN PageA2 STOP IN THE LIBRARY EACH DAY TO REGISTER FOR DAILY PRIZE GIVEAWAYS. • BE SURE TO VISIT THE LIBRARY Tb SEE THESE DISPLAYS DURING NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK : HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DISPLAY .

Think about it, the open border and blankel amnesty crowd are actuall y promoting a soc iety where not only do we have to deal wi th Ameri ca n criminals; we have to accept the criminal behavior of foreign nationals as well . A sane immigration policy would deport any illegal immigrant who committed any crime whil e in lhe USA. I understand th at most undocumented workers are good people, and I believe in a fair guest worker program. I would even allow milli ons of illegal aliens to stay in thi s country while authorities inyestigat: ed their situations. Pathway to '-citizenship? Sure, if undocumented workers are producti ve and law abiding, and prove that over a number of years. But there should be zero tolerance for criminal illegal aliens. They have to go. However, some Ame.ricans oppose that. Writing in the Denver Post, TV critic Joanne Ostrow accused me of using the deaths of Allison and Tessa to "spew rac ist bile." This is the tactic that has many pbliticians cowering. If you oppose immigration chaos, you are a racist. I wonder what the .families of the tWo Denver police offi cers shot last year .by a scoffl aw illeg~l alien think about Ostrow 's anal ys is? One of those policemen, Donald Young, died from hi s wounds. Finally. I respect that Geraldo Ri vera wants to protect people who are bas ically defen seless. But anarchy leads to death. The nearly 500 illegal aliens who died trying to cross American deserts last year were not done any favors by the "compass ionate" crowd that looks the .other way on immigration chaos.

This man was arrested on suspicion of assault after he allegedly almost whacked off another man's ear with his sword when the man asked if he wasn' t too old to be trick-or-treating. So we see from these two cases that there is a "fine line'' between legal and illegal bunny-outfit conduct, and the distinctions become even more bhmed when we enter the arena of wearing giant chicken heads or - this can be a legal nightmare - two..,~~::h.:suits.

Actor Barry Nelson, first onscreen James Bond, dies at 89 Bv GREG RISLING ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LOS ANGELES - Barry Nelson, an MGM contract player during the 1940s who later had a prolific theater career and was the first actor to play James Bond on screen, has died. He was 89. . Nelson died on April 7 while traveling in . Bucks County, Pa., his wife, Nansi Nelson, said Friday. The cause of death was not immediately known, she said. After ~raduating from the Univemty of California, Berkeley, in 1941 , Nelson was signed to MOM after being spoiled by a talent scout. He appeared in a number of films for the studio in 1942, . includin~ ."Shadow of the Thin Man,' "Johnny Eager" and "Dr. Kildare's Victory." He also landed the leadmg role in "A Yank on the Burma Road," playing 'a cab driver who decides to lead a convoy of trucks for the Chinese government. Nelson entered the Army during World War II and went on the road with other actors perfonning the wartime play "Winged Victory," which was later made il)to a movie starring Red Buttons, George Reeves and Nelson. After the war. Nelson starred in a string of movies, including "Undercover Maisie," "Time to Kill" and "Tenth Avenue Angel." He is the answer to the trivia question: Who was the first actor to play James Bond? Before Sean Connery was tapped to play the British agent on the big screen in 1962's "Dr. No," Nelson played Bond in a one-hour TV adaptation of "Casino Royale" in 1954. · Nelson switched to the stage during the 1960s and 1970s, al'pearing on Broadway m "Seascape" "Mary, Mary" and "Cactus Flower." He earned a Tony nomination in 1978 for his role in "The Act," which also starred Liza Minnelli. "He was a very naturalis·-· tic, believable actor," said his agent, .Francis Delduca. "He was good at both comedy and the .senous stuff."

Think about it, the open border and blankel amnesty crowd are actuall y promoting a soc iety where not only do we have to deal wi th Ameri ca n criminals; we have to accept the criminal behavior of foreign nationals as well . A sane immigration policy would deport any illegal immigrant who committed any crime whil e in lhe USA. I understand th at most undocumented workers are good people, and I believe in a fair guest worker program. I would even allow milli ons of illegal aliens to stay in thi s country while authorities inyestigat: ed their situations. Pathway to '-citizenship? Sure, if undocumented workers are producti ve and law abiding, and prove that over a number of years. But there should be zero tolerance for criminal illegal aliens. They have to go. However, some Ame.ricans oppose that. Writing in the Denver Post, TV critic Joanne Ostrow accused me of using the deaths of Allison and Tessa to "spew rac ist bile." This is the tactic that has many pbliticians cowering. If you oppose immigration chaos, you are a racist. I wonder what the .families of the tWo Denver police offi cers shot last year .by a scoffl aw illeg~l alien think about Ostrow 's anal ys is? One of those policemen, Donald Young, died from hi s wounds. Finally. I respect that Geraldo Ri vera wants to protect people who are bas ically defen seless. But anarchy leads to death. The nearly 500 illegal aliens who died trying to cross American deserts last year were not done any favors by the "compass ionate" crowd that looks the .other way on immigration chaos.

This man was arrested on suspicion of assault after he allegedly almost whacked off another man's ear with his sword when the man asked if he wasn' t too old to be trick-or-treating. So we see from these two cases that there is a "fine line'' between legal and illegal bunny-outfit conduct, and the distinctions become even more bhmed when we enter the arena of wearing giant chicken heads or - this can be a legal nightmare - two..,~~::h.:suits.

Actor Barry Nelson, first onscreen James Bond, dies at 89 Bv GREG RISLING ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LOS ANGELES - Barry Nelson, an MGM contract player during the 1940s who later had a prolific theater career and was the first actor to play James Bond on screen, has died. He was 89. . Nelson died on April 7 while traveling in . Bucks County, Pa., his wife, Nansi Nelson, said Friday. The cause of death was not immediately known, she said. After ~raduating from the Univemty of California, Berkeley, in 1941 , Nelson was signed to MOM after being spoiled by a talent scout. He appeared in a number of films for the studio in 1942, . includin~ ."Shadow of the Thin Man,' "Johnny Eager" and "Dr. Kildare's Victory." He also landed the leadmg role in "A Yank on the Burma Road," playing 'a cab driver who decides to lead a convoy of trucks for the Chinese government. Nelson entered the Army during World War II and went on the road with other actors perfonning the wartime play "Winged Victory," which was later made il)to a movie starring Red Buttons, George Reeves and Nelson. After the war. Nelson starred in a string of movies, including "Undercover Maisie," "Time to Kill" and "Tenth Avenue Angel." He is the answer to the trivia question: Who was the first actor to play James Bond? Before Sean Connery was tapped to play the British agent on the big screen in 1962's "Dr. No," Nelson played Bond in a one-hour TV adaptation of "Casino Royale" in 1954. · Nelson switched to the stage during the 1960s and 1970s, al'pearing on Broadway m "Seascape" "Mary, Mary" and "Cactus Flower." He earned a Tony nomination in 1978 for his role in "The Act," which also starred Liza Minnelli. "He was a very naturalis·-· tic, believable actor," said his agent, .Francis Delduca. "He was good at both comedy and the .senous stuff."

That's a line penned by American poet Robert Frost (1874:1963) in his poem Mendmg Wall , and I'm certain it was' already an old expression at the time the poem was published in 1915. In Mending Wall, the speaker and an unnamed neighbor meet along their fence line, a ston e wall comprised of field stones. Once a year they meet to walk the line and rebuild the ~all ·between them , replactng the stones that . have fallen since the previous year, which causes the poet to express the thought "Something there is that doesn ' t love a wall, and conspires to knock it down." All of this came to my mind a few weeks ago as _Steve Jenkins, the program In the Open Jim Freeman administrator here at the Meig s Soil and Water Conservation District, and I walked the boundary of the Meigs SWCD Conservation Area and m3l!ked the property line from where it was surveyed a few years ago. Old aerial photographs of the 17 4-acre property give the viewer a virtual trip !;lack in time, before the strip mines forever altered the landscape and before the property reverted back into woodland. Through those photos and the remembrances of senior citizens, we know that once. long ago. the land was mostly crop and hay fields, pastures and SI]Jall woodlots. and that once there was a tomato cannery on the propert y whose ruins. still stand to this day. Back then, in 1939, the prope_rty boundary was ca refully . m_a rked and fenced, but today all that remains of the fence are occasional markers, a ru sty steel rod here or there marking the comers, lines of old trees, old fragments of barbed wire emerging from trees, and a few dried out Osage Orange fence posts (perhaps a hundred years ol<l). and here and there an occasional line of stones. It turns out Robert Frost was right; there is some- thing 'that doesn't love a wall or a fence. That something is time. Time doesn' t love a fence, or pretty much anything else made by man. Indeed even the markers ·and monument s installed by th e surveyors just a few years ago had already faded and were difficult to find; it took both of us to reconstruct the boundary. In my mind I can imagine· a mule pulling a plow through· the thin, infertile hillside · soi l; the plow strikes a rock, bringing the entire operation to a sudden halt. The hired man swears under his breath, wipes a dirty hand across hi s brow, and proceeds to unearth the stone before carrying it over to the edge of the field to deposit it in a line of other. stones earlier removed from the field. I wonder, could the plowman have ever imagined, as he spent hours and days in the sun staring at the south end of a northbound mule , that perhaps a hundred years later the field would be woods once more and someone would use those same stones to help identify the property boundary? It .was food for thought. In ancient Britain landowners and their sons would supposedly walk the property lines 'o nce a year with the children being beat at each corner or monument; that way they would remember the property lines - hence the term "walking a beat.'' ' Of course it's important for sportsmen to know the property boundaries to avoid trespassing charges. Oddly enough, if you read the poem, it wasn't Frost who said good fences make good neighbors; it was the character of the unnamed neighbor who said it, and -Fros.t wonders why fences make good neighbors. "He is all pine and I am .all apple orchard," the poet muses. " My app les tree s wi ll never get across and· eat the cone s under hi s pines." · Perhaps intuiti ve ly the neighbor wa s right. things don ' t remain the same. Perh aps Robert Frost'~ apple orchard s, and the neighbor 's pine tr!!es .•Rre long gone, but the fence - in some form or another - sti II remains to thi s day.

Goodbye losing streak. Wahama made its three game slide from nearly a week ago seem like ancient history with its third straight victory as the Lady Falcons defeated Southern earlier this week and' added two more wins Thursday night, defeating Van 9-6 and beating Richwood 122 during first round action at the Best -of Best Tournament in Buffalo. And after discovering that their third game of the weekend, scheduled to be played against New York area school Brighton on Saturday, was forfeited, the Lady Falcons (9-3) are assured their fourth straight win, making them · 3-0 in Best of Best pool play and advancing the Bead Area girls into the Point Pleasant·~ Mallory Nowlin (5) pulls away from the pack to win the 100-meter !lash at Friday's Rotary Relays. · tournament . round later today. It Js the first time Wahama has ever advanced to the tournament round. Wahama knew coming into the season that it was going to be led by its youth with no seniors ·on the team , but little did the Lady Falcons know they would need to dip into the freshmen class to find the success they have enjoyed and those freshmen made a statement during Thursday's pair. Taylor Hysell and Kaula Young, b.oth .ninth graders, combined to go I0-for-15 during the two games to pace the Lady Falcons and help them' move on to the championship round. Young had the big first game, going 3-for-4 with two runs batted in while Hysell stole the show in game two, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two doubles. It was a part of the hitting clinic the Wahama girls put on Thursday, connecting for 31 hits in the two contests. In game one, the Lady Falcons jumped on top 4-0 and shared. a pair of runs with .Van tn the second inning to take a 6-2 lead. Wahama then added three more in the third to take a 9-2 lead, but Van would not go away. Van chipped away with -three runs in the fifth and another in the sixth, but could not catch up to the fast Wahama start as_ the Lady Falcons held for the 9-6 win. The Bend Area nine had 16 hits in the contest, compared to only three for Van as it instead relied on Wahama 's four errors and nine walks to ·score runs . Kylie Riggs was the winning hurler. striking out I 0 and walking nine. Jarel was credited with the loss with two walks and four· strikeouts. Of the 16 hits, Wahama wa·s paced by Young and her three hit s and Tully, who went 3-for-3. Mary Kebler and Riggs also had a pair of hits , while Hysell, Haley Davis , Kayal)na Sayre and Airael Derifield had a hit and an RBI apiece . Raelynn Grimm and Ashley Wolfe rounded out the hitting with a single apiece . Van was paced by Pauley, Ferguson and Lares with a hit each. With delays backing the schedule up, the Lady Falcons didn't take the field for the second contest until nearly midnight, making for some very tired players. But not even the late night and cold winds could slow Wahama. In its game . with Texas (Padilla 0·2) at Seattle (Batista 0·1 ). 3:55 p.m. L.A.

They then added . three in the fourth and two in the fifth, with Young stealing a base and reaching home on apassed ball to seal the victory via the 10-run mercy rule. Wahama got the ball rolling in the top of the first when Richwood had a chance to score, but Sayre started a double play and had a nice putout, getting all three outs and seemingly deflating Richwood right from the start. Riggs was again credited with the pitching victory, striking out five and walking two. Lyons got the loss, walking three and fanning three. Wahama also cut down on hits mistakes , giving up just- one error on the night. The Lady Falcons had 15 hits, led by Hysell and her perfect night, while Davis went 2-for-4 with two RBi s and Kebler, Seyre and Young had two hits each. Riggs had a triple and Wolfe and Tully had a hit apiece. Johnson led Richwood with two hits and Coleman had a base hit.

It turns out Robert Frost was right; there is some- thing 'that doesn't love a wall or a fence. That something is time. Time doesn' t love a fence, or pretty much anything else made by man. Indeed even the markers ·and monument s installed by th e surveyors just a few years ago had already faded and were difficult to find; it took both of us to reconstruct the boundary. In my mind I can imagine· a mule pulling a plow through· the thin, infertile hillside · soi l; the plow strikes a rock, bringing the entire operation to a sudden halt. The hired man swears under his breath, wipes a dirty hand across hi s brow, and proceeds to unearth the stone before carrying it over to the edge of the field to deposit it in a line of other. stones earlier removed from the field. I wonder, could the plowman have ever imagined, as he spent hours and days in the sun staring at the south end of a northbound mule , that perhaps a hundred years later the field would be woods once more and someone would use those same stones to help identify the property boundary? It .was food for thought. In ancient Britain landowners and their sons would supposedly walk the property lines 'o nce a year with the children being beat at each corner or monument; that way they would remember the property lines - hence the term "walking a beat.'' ' Of course it's important for sportsmen to know the property boundaries to avoid trespassing charges. Oddly enough, if you read the poem, it wasn't Frost who said good fences make good neighbors; it was the character of the unnamed neighbor who said it, and -Fros.t wonders why fences make good neighbors. "He is all pine and I am .all apple orchard," the poet muses. " My app les tree s wi ll never get across and· eat the cone s under hi s pines." · Perhaps intuiti ve ly the neighbor wa s right. things don ' t remain the same. Perh aps Robert Frost'~ apple orchard s, and the neighbor 's pine tr!!es .•Rre long gone, but the fence - in some form or another - sti II remains to thi s day.

Goodbye losing streak. Wahama made its three game slide from nearly a week ago seem like ancient history with its third straight victory as the Lady Falcons defeated Southern earlier this week and' added two more wins Thursday night, defeating Van 9-6 and beating Richwood 122 during first round action at the Best -of Best Tournament in Buffalo. And after discovering that their third game of the weekend, scheduled to be played against New York area school Brighton on Saturday, was forfeited, the Lady Falcons (9-3) are assured their fourth straight win, making them · 3-0 in Best of Best pool play and advancing the Bead Area girls into the Point Pleasant·~ Mallory Nowlin (5) pulls away from the pack to win the 100-meter !lash at Friday's Rotary Relays. · tournament . round later today. It Js the first time Wahama has ever advanced to the tournament round. Wahama knew coming into the season that it was going to be led by its youth with no seniors ·on the team , but little did the Lady Falcons know they would need to dip into the freshmen class to find the success they have enjoyed and those freshmen made a statement during Thursday's pair. Taylor Hysell and Kaula Young, b.oth .ninth graders, combined to go I0-for-15 during the two games to pace the Lady Falcons and help them' move on to the championship round. Young had the big first game, going 3-for-4 with two runs batted in while Hysell stole the show in game two, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two doubles. It was a part of the hitting clinic the Wahama girls put on Thursday, connecting for 31 hits in the two contests. In game one, the Lady Falcons jumped on top 4-0 and shared. a pair of runs with .Van tn the second inning to take a 6-2 lead. Wahama then added three more in the third to take a 9-2 lead, but Van would not go away. Van chipped away with -three runs in the fifth and another in the sixth, but could not catch up to the fast Wahama start as_ the Lady Falcons held for the 9-6 win. The Bend Area nine had 16 hits in the contest, compared to only three for Van as it instead relied on Wahama 's four errors and nine walks to ·score runs . Kylie Riggs was the winning hurler. striking out I 0 and walking nine. Jarel was credited with the loss with two walks and four· strikeouts. Of the 16 hits, Wahama wa·s paced by Young and her three hit s and Tully, who went 3-for-3. Mary Kebler and Riggs also had a pair of hits , while Hysell, Haley Davis , Kayal)na Sayre and Airael Derifield had a hit and an RBI apiece . Raelynn Grimm and Ashley Wolfe rounded out the hitting with a single apiece . Van was paced by Pauley, Ferguson and Lares with a hit each. With delays backing the schedule up, the Lady Falcons didn't take the field for the second contest until nearly midnight, making for some very tired players. But not even the late night and cold winds could slow Wahama. In its game . with Texas (Padilla 0·2) at Seattle (Batista 0·1 ). 3:55 p.m. L.A.

Hope had lived in Gallipolis for a brief time while ·growing up and Hope's mother was Anna Halliday, who lived several years of her life in Gallipoli s. Hope Harvey later married newspaper writer Jack Ham mond , with the two becoming popular in New York and Washington social life. 'Sometime in the 1920s, . the Hammonds separated and Hope moved back to Huntington, W.Va. , where she ran a gift shop. The children, Mary and Richard, li ved in Huntington but were frequent visitors back to Gallipolis to see family. · Both of the Hammond ch ildren, ·Richard Ham mond and Mary Hammond, changed their last names to Halliday.

Warts caused by HPV can be treated, but no guarantee they won't return. Many women do not know they have warts because they can grow inside a women's vagina.

Abstinence from sexual intercourse is the only sure way to be safe from disease and an unwanted pregnancy. HPV is the most common viral infection.

A new study; released January 2007 by the of National , Center Statistics. Education describes and identifies public library usage patterns. Over one-third of the households surveyed had used a public library in the month prior to the survey, and usage in I0 state s, including Ohio, is signifi· cantly higher. Ohio licyraries have traditionally been Betty Clarkson ---- . funded better and have worked hard at outreach (branches, bookmobiles, web ,based services, ILL). . This week allows people the opportunity to share the experiences which made them library users - and to identify the new users of tomQrrow. During the week, · Bossard Library will host a "rock-a-thon" •tO promote reading, will showcase new digital audio books, will highlight programs offered to pre-schoolers, will provide tours and on-the-spot demonstrations, will host a family/teen movie night and will encourage all to discover the ·treasures in their homes (with local antique dealers) and in their local libraries. Thursday night the library will host a "roadshow" type program with local dealers and collectors and a locally available antique database. The event will be accompanied by bluegrasslbanjo music by C;~lvin Leport, accompanied by Randy Callihan .. During the week, there will be prize giveaways. During the next month there will be a "no fines/amnesty" period to encourage all patrons to return overdue materials and enjoy the new collections and services offered by the library. The Public Library usage survey indicated that people with higher education and income levels use public libraries more than those with less. It also indicated that people who Ii ve closer to the library (or bookmobile stops) use the library outlets more than those who live further away (over one mile). · Additionally, the survey indicated that households with retired individuals use the public library less than others. In Gallia County, with plenty of households in all of the "lower" categories, we have to work harder to spread the word about the benefits of reading and using public library services.

During the week, · Bossard Library will host a "rock-a-thon" •tO promote reading, will showcase new digital audio books, will highlight programs offered to pre-schoolers, will provide tours and on-the-spot demonstrations, will host a family/teen movie night and will encourage all to discover the ·treasures in their homes (with local antique dealers) and in their local libraries. Thursday night the library will host a "roadshow" type program with local dealers and collectors and a locally available antique database. The event will be accompanied by bluegrasslbanjo music by C;~lvin Leport, accompanied by Randy Callihan .. During the week, there will be prize giveaways. During the next month there will be a "no fines/amnesty" period to encourage all patrons to return overdue materials and enjoy the new collections and services offered by the library. The Public Library usage survey indicated that people with higher education and income levels use public libraries more than those with less. It also indicated that people who Ii ve closer to the library (or bookmobile stops) use the library outlets more than those who live further away (over one mile). · Additionally, the survey indicated that households with retired individuals use the public library less than others. In Gallia County, with plenty of households in all of the "lower" categories, we have to work harder to spread the word about the benefits of reading and using public library services.

The newspaper examined the 85 death ·penalty cases considered between January 2000 and April 7, 2007. The court decides death cution than going before one with a conservative majority. "Wh.en I look at a lineup ·of a panel in this kind of case, you can almost go to · the bank on what the result is . going .• to be," said Nathaniel Jones, a retired 6th Circuit member appointed by Carter. Lawyers and courtwatchers blame the ideological split on the nominal· ing process, in which the president's pick often· goes through a grilling .by the • Senate Judiciary Committee on hot-button issues such as the death penalty and abortion, then faces a confirmation vote by the full Senate. · ''The most important raetor is the president who appoints federal judges," Coun'ty Hamilton Prosecutor Joe Deters, a Republican, said. "That's why, when 1here is a Supreme Court nominee, there is blood in the streets of Washington.''
