The move means the budget will become effective on April I , which is the deadli.ne for local governments to have their spending plans for the year in place. Commissioners Joe Giles, John Saunders, Caroll Snowden and James Cozza voted in favor of the budget, whi!e com missioner Dow Saunders dissented. The vote came. after the budget was amended to reduce city manager ·Bill Jenkins' salary line item from $75,000 back to its current leve l of $65,000. That . amendment passed by a vote of 3-2. with Snowden, John Saunders and Cozza voting in favor of the amendment, and Giles and Dow Saunders vot- ing against it. Any pay increases would require separate ordinances to be approved by a majority of commissioners. When the budget w;is passed on first read ing, Snowden and John Saunders expressed concerns that it wou ld ha ve to use abo ut $350,000 of last year's carryover. Although not a deficit budget, the beginning balance is less than the beginning balance in the budget as written. Dow Saunders has pointed out, however, that the pa>t few years, the commission has not spent all money in the budget. In other action, commi>sioners appro,ved an emergel\CY ordinance authorizing Jenkins to submit an application for funding under the Victims of Crime Act and· state Victims Assistan·ce Act. That grant money is used to fund a regi stered advocate position for Gallia County Victim Assistance. Susan Grady currently , serves m that position. 'Thi' i' a great thing we can do." city 'olicitor Doug Cow ie' 'aid. "I work with Susan all the time. This gra nt · is good for the city. Susan has really made a difference." Dow Saunders. who is director of ,<x:ial work at Holzer Medical Center. agreed. "I work with her in my job, and she i' a very good advocate.'' he '" id ...

The following are the most dan. gerous to a child's welfare., Vermont: Even after the national scandal of Judge Edward Cashman sentencing the rapist of an 8-year old girl (o just 60 days in prison (under pressure , Cashman later revised the sentence to a paltry three years), the Vermont legislature failed to pass mandatory minimums for child sexual predators.

Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis 2006 Obituaries The most -dangerous states for American kids For those of you who still , ·believe tli.e justice system in America is working, consider the following. For three years, 46-year old Andrew Selva sexually brutalized two boy s, ages 5 and 12, in a small town outside of Columbus, Ohio. In a plea bargain, Selva admitted to the court that he raped the boys in a variety of ways . By all accounts, it was savage criminal activity. But when Selva appeared for sentencing before Ohio Judge John Connor, · he received no prison time at all. Instead, Connor .Placed him on probation, saying, "He's got a disease like I've got disease. I don't know that prison would have helped, except for revenge, and revenge is not in the sentencing guidelines." What the sentencing guidelines did call for was a ten-year stretch in a state prison .. But Connor believes he knows better, so it is probatiqn for a child rapist. By the way, the "disease" Connor .referenced in his own case is apparently alcohol-related; thejudge has at least two DUI convictions on his sheet. This kind of sentencing insanity is increasing across Sunday, March 19, ·doesn 't seem to care. Idaho: No minimum •prison terms for child sex. crimes. Republican Governor Dirk Kempthorne doesn't seem to care. North Dakota: No minimum prison sentences for any sexual acts with minors. Governor John Hoeven, a Republican, says he is "studying" ways to change that. Also, the states of Colorado, Wisconsin, and Maine. Kansas, Montana have weak laws protecting kids, but at least there are politicians in those states trying to change things. In the Ohio case where the child rapist rece.ived parole, and in the Vermont case where the man who raped the little girl initially got 60 days, the three victims were poor kids. Their parents had no money, no influence, and no hope of challenging the wicked judges. I submit those awful'sentences would not have been handed down if the rapists had abused wealthy children. But be that as it may, .any state that will not severely , punish a~ adult who rapes a child is a disgraceful state. And everybody living there should know it. HOW MANY "OWES' IS THAT?

Waleed Bader of the Arab Muslim American Federation addressed a crowd in Times Square from a flatbed U11ck parked near a recruiting station. which was guarded by police. "We say enough hypocrisy, enough lies, our soldiers mu st come home now," Bader said. Participants chanted, "Stop the U.S. war machine, from Iraq to Korea to the Philippines." In Concord, N.H, nearly 300 peace activists marched about a mile from a National Guard Armory to the Statehouse. "I feel a huge se nse of betrayal that I went and risked my life for a lie," said Joseph Turcott, 26, a former Marine who served in the invasion. Other participants showed up at the rally to support U.S. troops. "I have friends in Iraq and I just want them to know that I may not be able to suppon them there, but I can here ," said Jose Avila. -36. · At Dudley Square in Boston, a few hundred college-age protesters and baby boomers waved placards that read "Impeach Bu sh" and "Stop the War." . .

To get to sing on the radio was the dream of · many people, like being on "Amertcan Idol" is 1oday. In the spring of 1940 that dream came true for one young lady who had grown up in Oak Hill and Gallipolis. Singing on the "Pot of Gold" radio program broadcast from Cleveland, Ohio, was Ruth Davis. It was estimated ·that 27 million people heard that program as Ruth sang two numbers with the Horace Heidt Orchestra, "After the Ball Is Over" and "Till We Meet Again." Apparently, both . the sponsor and the. advertising agency for the program were -greatly impressed with this 22-year-old teacher who had lived in Gallipolis in the 1930s when her father, John New.tori Davis, was a cashier of the · Commercial and Savings Banlt, which at that time was located in the Lafayette Hotel. Some very talented people were with the Horace Heidt orchestra over the years including the King sisters, Alvino Rey, Gordon McRae, and even the man who later became known . simply as Norton on the Jackie Gleason show (Art Carney). Carney ~a ng with a group in the Heidt ensemble called · the Don Juans. Heidt also featured the great trumpet player . Bobby Hackett and pianist Frankie Carle, who played the piano with his hands behind his back. The "Pot of Gold" show was on the air from 1939 to 1941. In 1939, it was a national phenomenon as they gave away lots of money. They would pick out a town phonebook and then p'ick a person from 'that book to · call. · Million s of Americans stayed close to the phone on Tuesdays waiting for the "magic call" that would turn them into rich people. In 1940, Heidt was big as he not only did the "Pot of Gold" program but he also had the · "Tums Treasure Chest" radio slot. In 1944 and 1945 , Heidt broadcast the "Hires R,oot Beer Program" with war veterans telling their stories and asking for jobs while a teletype· was s.et up onstage to tick off the offers that came in. , · Then in 1947, Heidt had a successful show called the "Youth OpJ?ortunity Program" as Heidt s troupe went from town to town auditioning local musicians. One of his first discoveries was Dick Contino, an accordian player, who even went on to have his own radio show. Ruth and her sister Mary often sang together . in and around Oak Hill as well as at Eisteddfod contest all over Ohio. After the death of Ruth's father, the family eventually moved to Columbus so the girls could attend Ohio State. Ruth sang on WBNS radio solo and with groups from the university. In December 1939, Ruth received her: degree from OSU and was shortly thereafter hired as a vocal music teacher at All,iance Junior High School. During spring vacation. Ruth was going to sleep in every. day but her teacher, Professor Dierks, called to tell Ruth that Horace Heidt Save up to 40-60% throughout the store Nationwide recognizes identity theft'v[ctirrls need expert assistance.

OH Creating oil from hog poop? WOOSTER - · You might not be able to get a silk purse from a sow's ear, but it might be possible to produce oil from hog manure. Ohio State University's Ohio Composting and Manvre Miumgement (OCAMM) program will present findi ngs at a free public lecture in Wooster on Thursday, April6. The speaker, Yuanhui Zhang, an agricultural and biological engineer at the University of · Illinois, has helped design a pilot plant for a large commercial livestock farm to convert pig feces into crude oiL . Based on a process called thermochemical conversion, or TCC,. the system .heats and pressunzes orgamc compounds - in this case, poop fro m porkers - and gives off oil and gas. Based on Zhang's estimates, the manure produced by one · pig during its lifetime could yield up to 21 gallons of crude oil and could earn- the farmer $10 more profit per animal. "Billions of dollars are spent on waste transportation and treatment, and regulations continue to become more stri.n~ent and co~.t-inten­ s•ve to sausfy our desrre for a clean environment," Zhang said in a University of Illinois press release. "Meanwhile, we have a growing need for biofuels' that would reduce our dependence on foreign oil and the world's finite supply of crude petroleum. , . "It is vitally important that we develop innovative solutions that can address both . those problems," he .;aid. The talk kicks · off OCAMM 's spring 2006 seminar series. OCAMM ( http :// www .oardc .o hio state.edu/ocamm) works to research, develop and communicate sustainable strate-· gies for managing animal manure and nutrient inputs on Ohio farms. Participants indude livestock producers, livestock system consultants, equipment manufacturers, trade associations, compost users, public agencies, and Ohio State faculty and staff. Funding for the. program comes from OARDC, part of Ohio State's College of Food, Agricultural . ·and Environmental Sciences.
