Three counties have chal- COLUMBUS - Federal rules intended to improve. voting have sparked repeated quarrels between states and counties over ballot counting and equipment as time runs out for compliance with the election law. · Some · of the disputes have ended up in coun as elections officials wrangle over deadlines, ballot receipts and who ha-; authority to make decisions under the He! p America Vote Act. The law requires states to have federally approved voting systems and policies for counting provisional ballots in place by the ftrSt federdl ele~tions of 2006, which in Ohio is the May primary. States that fail to meet . the deadline would have to return any unspent federal money they received for the efforts. "Right now, we're sitting in the ftrSt quarter of the new year and there's not much time when you have a huge initiative," said Michael Vu, director of . elections in Cuyahoga County, Ohio's largest with more than I million registere~ voters. Disagreements over the federal rules have popped _up around the country, rncludmg California, Florida and Pennsylvania .. . By January, states must take over supervision of voter databases, angering some local officials who do not want to give up control. Local officials m California were upset last year when thenSecretary of State Kevin Shelley rescinded state certification of electronic voting machines because they could not provide receipts. Several counties tried to stop Shelley. but a judge would not hear the case, said Conny McCormack, registrar.. recorder for · Los Angeles County. The county, which ha5 4 million registered voters, plans to · upgrade its optical scan equipment to make it compliant with the new federal rules, McCormack said. Certification of electronic systems remains in doubt. "Any election that's federal after January 2006 has. to be HAVA-compliant. That's how much time we have left and yet there is no certified equip; ment," McCormack said. ·-" Several state versus county arguments erupted in Ohio, a battleground in last year's presidential election and the state that returned President Bush to the White House in a close v<Ae. Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell's order baning county boards from accepting provisionaJ ballots if voters were . in the wrong preci net ended up in federal court and was upheld I0 days before the November election. The backup ballots, which Ohio has had since 1994, are given to voters whose names don't show up at poUing places and are counted later if the voter is registered. Some county boards now are resisting Blackwell's directive to choose an optical scan vot- • lenged his authority in court, and the cases are pending. "Ohio is now where California was last year, where the secretary of state is making directives that the locals think he shouldn't be making or maybe they just don't like," said Dan Seligson, editor of electionline.org, a nonpartisan election issues clearinghouse based in Washington. "What's happening in Ohio is what we see here in Washington all the . time." · Electronic voting suits Carol Carper, a 56-year-old legal secretary from· Columbus who thinks replacing the ·machines in Franklin County would waste taxpayer dollars. "It's easy. You just go in there. punch what you want and you· re done. And you know how your vote's being counted,'~ Carper said. ·. Bruce Rayford, 56, doesn't care what' type of machine he uses. Switching to optical scan equipment would be no big deal and voters should realize Blackwell is just doing his job, he said. "It's just like anything else. You'd have to learn how to use it," said Rayford, a janitor from Columbus. · Blackwell did not return . phone calls seeking comment. He has said he is empowered to issue the directives under the federal rules, which leave many decisions up to a state's chief elections officer. Some of the county officials believe his orders -especially the one on · provisional ballots - violate the spirit of rules that are ·designed to ensure every vote · is counted. Blackwell wants the new systems installed, at least in the 68 counties that still use punch cards, by this November's election. "Is there concern about time? ·Yes. That concern about deployment schedules, supply lines with ·vendors is important," spokesman Carlo LoParo said. Keith Cunningham, Allen County elections director and president of the . Ohio Association · of Elections Officials, doesn ' t have any argument .with Blackwell's orders but is aware of the friction that has developed. "The nature of all of this is · we don't like being told what to do .and the· secretary has engaged in that practice within his jurisdiction and domain," Cunningham said. In Ohio, statewide executive offices will be on the ballot in next year's primary, when new voting systems are to be in place. Blackwell is one of three Republicans seeking the GOP nomination. for governor. States feel lhat they, not counties, should have the upper hand in implementing the federal law, said Doug Lewis, executive director of. · the EleCtion Center, which represents more than 1,000 state and local elections officials nationwide. · "It really gave the states considerably more authority than they traditionally .had in this regard," he said. "They're saying, 'If we're the ones who are going to get sued and we're the ones that are ultimately held accountable, ... then we want you to at least select from. the groups of &ystems we &ay are OK." .ACI __: 46.10 AEP- 33.57 Akzo - 44.37 Ashland Inc.- 67.19 AT&T -18.85 BLI· 12 Bob Evans - 23.49 BorgWarner- 50.48 Champion - 4.05 Charming Shops - 8.20 City Holding- 30.56 Col - 46.84 DG -· 21.67 DuPont - 52.14 Federal Mogul - .35.5 USB - 29.29 Gannett- 79.55 General Electric - 35.88 GKNLY- 5.01 ·· Harley Davidson- 60.56 Kmart- 125.19 Kroger- 15.62 Ltd:- 24.36 NSC- 37.66 Oak Hill Financial - 33.92 OVB- 33 BBT - 38.76 Peoples- 27.02 Pepsico - 52.62 Premier- 11:10 Rockwell - 59.56 Rocky Boots - 25.75 RD .Shell - 62.54 SBC- 23.35 Sears- 56.95 Wai-Mart - 51.45 Wendy's - 39.25 Worthington - . 20.43 .

Kurt Busch Mears ready for big jump in NASCAR BY MIKE HARRIS Associated Press It took Casey Mears a while just to get used to having a roof over his head on the racetrack. Mears, the nephew of fourtime Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears, thought he was born to be racing sleek opencockpit cars, not boxy, claustrophobic stock cars. But opportunities were scarce in the world of openwheel racing, and in 2002 Mears found himself racing stock cars in NASCAR's Busch Series for Chip Ganassi, a tearri owner who also came from an openwheel background. "I always saw myself in an lndyCar," said Mears, now in his third full season driving for Ganassi in NASCAR 's top series and his first season as what he and his team hope will be a serious contender for . a spot in the Chase for the Nextel Cup championship. "The first time I probably saw myself as a stock car driver was probably halfway or toward the end of my Busch season." Mears said. "I didn't expect to be in the Busch car. · It kind of just happened, and I didn't know anything about it. .. ' For Mears, who had two top-! 0 finishes )n 34 starts in Busch, ' movmg up to Ganassi 's No. 41 Dodge in NASCAR 's top series the fol · lowing year was just as surprising as to most observers. ·But Ganassi showed conti. dence in the youngster, who turned 27 last Saturday. "I know the kind of talent Casey has because ·(' ve watched him come up through the ranks," Ganassi said when he moved Mears up to Cup. "He brings energy and a tremendou~ work ethic to the team.'' For a while, It looked like a failed experiment. Mears struggled through his rookie season in. 2003 , earning no top lOs, failing to tinish I 0 races and winding up 35th in the points. It wasn't a completely lost year, though. Ganassi kept . Mears busy learning ihe basics of stock car racing, ·also running him in ARCA and Busch. Mears showed enough to keep the boss happy, winning a trio of ARCA races and also coming up with four top- I Os in 14 Busch starts. Last year, expectations were hi~h,. but Mears got off to a miserable start before tinally starting to show some strength in the second half of the season -coming up with . a career-best !in ish of fourth on the road course at Watkins Glen and finishing 22nd in .the standings. After a crash in the season- · opening Daytona 500 and an overheating problem at California, 'it appeared Mears migh~ be destined for another tough year in 2005. But things turned around last Sunday in Las Vegas with a seventh-place finish. That boosted Mears 13 spots to 15th in the standings, only 46 points out of the coveted top-10 heading into Sunday's Nextel Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. "We·really needed that after the first two races," Mears said. " W~ ' re definitely in position now to start making some good gains:" Ganassi· agrees. "Casey's performance last season was a huge jump from his tirst year," said Ganassi, who also tielils Cup cars for Sterling Marlin and Jamie McMurray. "We're looking for a jump like that again in 2005. We'd just like to see a little more consistency.'' A big difference in Mears is his confidence level com: pared to this time a year ago. "Night and day,'' Mears said. "From the first year and the first pait of last year. totally different. All the way around things have gotten better, and it just came with time and experience. "Anything you · start out doing, you get a couple of years down the road and look back and think you didn 't know anything.

I BY JAMES SANDS In 1895, Cheshire was a prosperous village with several stores. a mill. two doctors. a school and lots of chickens. In fact, there were so many chickens getting in people's gardens that vigilante groups were organized that established what they said wa• "commori law." That mandate stated that any chicken found · in someone else's garden became the property of the garden owner. Previously, chickens had been just a nuisance and were chased . out with buck shot. But apparently the war on chickens had escalated in 1895. Aside from the ·'chic ken wars" Cheshire appears to have .been a rather laid-back community as we note several.news stories concerning good fishing in the area. In the late 1870s, citizens of Cheshire had built a dike that ran out into the Ohio River from the landing. The dike wa> built a to allow a good depth of water to be built up at · the' landing so that boats could dock there. Not only did stean1boats stop at· Cheshire in 1895, but so did boats carrying circuses and shows. The famous Price's Floating Opera wa' there and the correspondent to . the Gallipolis Bulletin wrote that the Price band "consisted of the ugliest men J ever saw, but they could olav all ri~rht." The dike also made a good place to stand to watch baptisms. In early April, some 500 people stood on the dike to watch the baptisms of DeWit Lash. Mark Roush, Mr. and Mrs. Curt Reet and Edna Roush. Three otlier convens called· off at the last minute, saying they preferred to be "placed under" · inside the church in wann weather. .· 1895 was the beginning of the bicycle era in Cheshire history as the correspondent to the Bulletin reported, "Within the last week or two there has been $350 spent in this vicinity for bicycles and still the fever spreads." The town had a baseball team and they had a sight reading · singers club. They gave a cantata that yeat entitled, "The Pleiades, or the Seven Sisters." The teacher, Mrs. Armel, even booked the Selby Otchestra of Middleport to accompany the singers and Mr. Humphrey Devereaux of Cincinnati to be the guest soloist. · Admission was 15 cents, .which was not bad considering that you had to pay 50 cents to attend the ·baseball games in Gallipolis that same year. Many . Cheshireites took the excursion down to the Old French City to . watch Gallipolis' first pro team. Later that year they played the Cincinnati Reds and lost only 2-0.

Interested in growing some new vegetables? Try planting cool season crops like spinach, parsnips, salsify, Swiss ·chard, kohlrabi, · radishes, .collards or kale. Hopefully, you remembered to prepare the early · spring garden site last fall. If not, try to minimize spading of wet soil, as this may lead to a compacted garden site.

However, few if any farmers will plant crops wifhout first signing a contract with a tobacco company to purchase the crops. I don't know of anybody growing on their own because there might not be a place to get rid of it. How much a grower gets for the crop depends -on how it grades in quality. Many producers feel that the buyers will be choosy, and will pay less than for the same quality last year under governmeill price suppons. It's the best farm income many farmers in this area have. Tobacco still ·produces more income than the average · Gallia County farmer can make from soybeans, Perhaps the hay or cattle. end of government price suppons signals an eventual end of Southern Ohio's small-scale tobacco farming. In a . few more years, you might not see tobacco grown in this area. It may well shift to areas where -it can be grown on a larger scale at reduced overhead.
