Sunday, May 16, 2004 Guardian Angels take crime- Two Cleveland water managers fighting methods to new areas facing charges CLEVELAND (AP) Two employees in the city's Division . of Water are accused of steering at least $ 160,000 in busi ness to two companies in return for money or computer equipment. The charges are the result of an ongoing investigation that also has resulted in the filing of federal charges this month. "It's ·goi ng to continue. We' re looking internally, and the feds are continuing their investigation ," Water Commissioner Julius Ciaccia said. "We need to clean · it up." Ciaccia said more charges are expected this week. James Stallworth,' 52, and Kenneth McNeil. 38, both of Cleveland; were charged with conspiracy to commit extortion as public ofticials. The .

(AP Photo/ AI Behrman) BY USA CORNWELl ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER chapters and about 5,000 members. Critics in the early years characterized the Angels as a vigilante group because of its citizen arresl~. "The only negati ve reaction I have heard is from the criminal element," said Greg Parker, police chief in Weldon, N.C., where an eight-member chapter patrols the business district. He said he doesn't want the volunteers physically trying to ·stop crime or making arrests unless they have to act to protect someone, but he thinks that their presence on city streets and their reports of suspicious activity could discourage crime. BiJJ · Eleczko, a resident , sai<.l he called in the Angels a few months ago becmrse of break-i ns and thefts believed to be linked to drug activity just outside the rural city of I ,400 about 70 miles north of Raleigh. . Another chapter was formed in August in Green Bay, Wis., a city of about I00,000, where complaints about drug and gang activity have been increasi ng the past three years, said Officer Duke Munger, director of the police department's crime prevention program. Members patrol areas where gang recruiting and drug trafficking have been observed and help with fingerprint identification programs at school s and distribution of crime alert bulletins in the city 's grow mg . Hispanic section. "Besides actual patrols, the Angels provide ·an alternative for kids that is edgy enough to inte rest them and socially acceptab le to their peers." Munger said. Alejandra Mejia, 19, left a Green Bay gang to join the Angels. Now she is enrolled in college and plans to be a police officer. . "The Angels helped me turn my life around," she said. Cincinnati police and city ofticials have neither directly opposed nor endorsed the Guardian Angels. Police say they would prefer that residents who· want to help fight crime join Citizens on Patrol. an existing ·volunteer group. Those volunteers are trained by police on what they can do to stop crime without infringing on others' rights or endangering themselves, said police spokesman Lt . Kurt Byrd. City Counci l member Jim Tarbell was impressed by . Sliwa's presentation to the Westwood residents but worries that the group might not be as effective as one trained and supported by police. "In theory, it sounds like they could add a layer of coverage in the area of criQle prevention that we probably do need," he said. Kuhl said she understands reservations about the Angels but notes that city approval isn't needed because Westwood Concern doesn't receive city money. "Government needs to do what it needs to do, but we don 't always have to look to it as our Mommy and Daddy," she said. "People can be el)lpowered on their own." CINCINNATI The · Guardian Angels, organized 25 years ago to help combat crime in New York City. are now at work in smaller cities, rural communities and some urban neighborhoods once considered safer than their inner-city counterparts. · "People have found that drugs arid gang activity lead to more serious crime no matter what size the community and they want to stop that from happening in their neighborhood," said Curtis Sliwa, founder of the unarmed volunteers. noted for their signature red berets and jackets and military-like discipline. In thl! past three years, the group has set up eight chapters internationally in communities of I 00,000 or less population, and 23 more are expected to be in operation by next year, Sliwa said. · The U.S. Justice Office of Department's Community Oriented Policing Services has noted increased .interest in volunteer crime prevention in the United States in the past several years. That interest often is based on perception as much as on crime itself, said Gilbert Moore, a COPS oftice spokesman. "Problems like graffiti, litter, loitering - anything that ·sends a signal of disorder and lawlessness can create the perception that crime is increasi ng in an area," he said. Law enforcement agencies . serving 86 percent of the U.S. population are now engaged in On the Net: some form of community www.guardianangels.org policing - policing aimed at www.cops.usdoj.gov preventing crime, according to Justice statistics. A residents ' group in Westwood, Cincinnati 's largest neighborhood with about 30,000 people, has invited the Angels to form a chapter. The volunteers are to arrive June 22 to begin training residents' to patrol their own streets. "Police and older patrol volunteers can 't hang out on street :corners and talk with kids who _II :may be flirting with trouble," :said Mary Kuhl, a co-founder j of Westwood Concem. The middle-class neighborSuggested Retail (Top Price) hood reported 2,078 serious crimes - which include murder, rape and robbery - last :year, more than any other :Cincinnati neighborhood. While the crime rate was down 12 percent from 2002, Kuhl Clearance. says residents' perception of the neighborhood as less safe has grown with the increase of ·drug activity and youth c rime: The Guardian Angels stlll1ed , in 1979 with patrols of New York City subways, using martial arts training to make citizen arrests of muggers and other criminals before moving onto the streets with their crime-fighting and crime-prevention patrols. Over the years they have expanded their >ervices to include anti-gang ini-. tiatives, youth camps for innercity youngsters, Internet crime detection and instruction to teachers on managing classrooms to avoid violence. s~ e«t~~re ~ The Angels' · numbers in New York have dropped from 300 2nd Ave. • Gallipolis a peak of I,000 to about 150 as the crime rate decreased .

Mon- Fri 9 :30 - Stallworth accepted $20;000 from an unidentified company and two $5,000 payments that he used to buy two cars, accorcli ng to court papers filed Friday. The complaint says the company received more than $ 150,000 in business from the Water Division. McNeil is accusing of receiving a computer system worth $ 1,000 from workers at Woodhill Supply. The division gave more than SI0.000 worth of business to the Willoughby company, according to the charges . Stallworth's attorney, Reginald Maxton, said his client will cooperate and pay back the city. He said · Stallworth was having finan- cia! problems whe n he was approached about . the' scheme . "He's an extremely good· guy.'' Maxton said . "He got himself in an unfortunate situation. and he's standing up and accepting responsibility for it ." . McNeil' s attorney, Jaye Schlachet, declined to comment. Woodhill's president and a sales man for the company were accused on d. Wednesday of paying bribes to Wa~e r Divi sion employees. Last week, federal prosecutors charged a busi nessman with buyi ng a Water Divis ion employee a . $30.000 car in 1997 in exchange for steering business to his cori1pany. · ~\.~~CADEMY Al~ · C:>~'J ' ~~ Picnic in the Park · KEEPING Saturday, May 29, 2004 Gallipolis City Park GALLI A ANb MEIGS COUNTY INFORMED '&ea~f'4t SDWd- 10:00 A.

GUEST VIEW On the road Tips on Thwel & Tourism Have you ever wondered why people traveP Have you ever noticed another vehicle on the road and wondered where it was going? Vacation season is now upon us, so Bob let 's examine why people Hood travel. Understanding what the vacationer is looking for can guide us to promote the attractions our area offers as various recreational opportunities. The major reasons people go on vacation, ranked by survey results, include: • To build and strengthen relationships. The number one reason is to be together as a family. Families find they have little time to be alone together. They want to get away from the 'tress of home and .work. They look to travel as an opportunity to rekindle relationships. Many also seek to foster interaction on trips, and view vacation as a time for making new friends. • To improve health and well being. The vast majority of adults says a vacation is vital to their families' physical and mental well being. Most travelers who visit Gallia County are looking to refresh and renew themselves by actively participating in outdoor activities. • To rest and relax. Getting away from work, worry and the stress of everyday activities, rest and relaxation allow ·vacationers to refresh and renew. This is the third most common reason why AmeFicans take a vacation. · • To have an adventure. Many travelers look to vacations for exciting experiences that stir emotions. Adventure, whether dangerous or romantic, provides the heightened ·sensation these consumers seek. • To escape. Many people travel to gain respite from routine. worry and stress. These travelers are looking for something different: a better climate, prettier scenery. a slower pace of life. cleaner air, quieter surroundings or anything else missing or deficient in their every day life back home . • For knowledge: Learning and discovery are strong motivators for today's highly educated traveler. People travel to learn or practice a language , study a culture, explore gourmet foods or wines, investigate spirituality and discover something about themselves, or a host of other learning pursuits. They want to see and feel something unfamiliar. • To mark a special occasion. Some travelers choose a vacation to celebrate milestones in their lives, new relation-. ships, marriages, birthdays or professional achievements. Vacations marking special occasions are usually taken with loved ones and provide memories to last a lifetime. • To save money or time. Although going on vacation almost always costs money and time, where one goes on vacation .can intluence costs. Money and time constraints virtually effect every vacation decision. By traveling close to home or taking a short vacation,· travelers can save time · and money. Galli a County can be a choice location for agritourism adven.tlires. • To reminisce. Many people travel to relive fond memories. In the case of agritourism, some vacationers, especially older travelers, choose a farm to rekindle memories of the simple, rural lifestyles they remember from childhood. Vacationers pay money for food, lodging, transportation and souvenirs, but they are really buying a sentimental journey. .~unbap uritrte!i ,-~entinel Reader Services Correction Polley Our main concern m all stories ts to be accurate.

Most Canadian observers believe the two will be extradited to the USA, but if they are not. a serious situation will erupt. A country harboring deserters would undermine the US war on terror and demonstrate outright hostility toward America. These deserters should have been detained, and their cases quickly heard. Instead, thev have websites. media sympathy and a forum in which to bash their country. This circus is insulting to America and especially to those American soldiers who have lost their lives fighting terrorists and supporters of the brutal dictators Mullah Omar and Saddam Hussein. On my television program , I have advised the Canadian government that if the deserters are not returned post-haste, I will no longer buy Canadian products or visit the country. I believe many Americans will take the same stance. A true friend does not hun vou even if he or she disi1grees with something you do. Canada may reject the Iraq strategy and we respect its .dissent. But actively undermining the U.S. military is quite something else. Ottawa best remember that cold fronts can originate from the south as well.

More Excerpts from some of Todd Jones' columns - ON THOUGHTS OF RETIRING AFTER LAST SEASON~ My thinking changed Nov. 6, when I was asked to visit John Paul Montgomery in my hometown ol Pell City, Ala: Three months earlier, John Paul had suffered a broken neck and a bruised spinal cord during a football game with his ninth-grade team. The injuries left him paralyzed. John Paul was fired up to meet me. To be honest , though, it felt weird that someone who'd had his world turned upside-down wanted to meet me.' ... As I got to know John Paul, I found out he didn't need me feeling sorry for him. He just wanted Ia hang out and talk baseball and hunting. ... · For one thing. I decided to play at least one more year. John Paul made me realize I needed to do it. He showed me a person doesn't quit when it gets tough - he's got months and mohths of therapy ahead of him, and he's got the greatest grin on his face. He showed me that it's OK to get knocked down, but a sin not to get up and try again. ON HAVING A GAY TEAMMATE- First, I'm a heterosexual, God-fearing Baptist. I'm not here to explain if being gay is right or wrong, but l'd like to explain the dynamics o1 a gay person on a ballclub. On the field, there would be no problems.

(AP) ·~ Kyle Busch started first and Stayed there almost all the way, leading 236 laps and earning his first career victory Friday night in the NASCAR Busch series race at Richmond International Raceway. On a night when many eyes were on how the new asphalt surface held up and whether a second racing lane developed, Busch showed the front was the place to be. He repeatedly pulled away on long runs and restarts, including two after a 13-minute red-flag stoppage with 12 laps remaining. On the last one, with three laps to go, Busch never got closer than a car length ahead of Greg Biffle, but hung on to win by 0.150 seconds. "This is only one of many hopefully," smd Busch, who had three second-place finishes in his- brief career. He also moved into the series Sunday, May He said the settlement eiTectively makes the lawsuit moot. "My desire, as it has always been, is to continue to help NASCAR build the spOit of .stock car racing," said Smith, who was not involved in the lawsuit. "Working together will help build a better sport t(Jr l~m s, participants and corporate partners." Phoenix International Raceway also will gain a second race weekend under the realignment, adding a spring race to the one it has Nov. 13. "This is another example of us increasing our visibility in an area of the country · that Is truly a hotbed for NASCAR fans," France said . Further, Martinsville Speedway, half-owned by the France family, will be purchased outright by International Speedway Corp. for $192 million with money from the Roc.kingham snle and another $9 U\ million. ISC is about 60 percent owned and controlled by the Prance family. I "There comes a point in time when you've got to look at change, and I tnink change in this ~use was inevitable," said Martinsville president Clay Campbell, whose grandfather, Clay Earles, opened the track in 1947. " I think (ISC) can carry Martinsville a lot further than we could evet carry it," Campbell said. . "Anything that's ~n family owned t()l' so long like thai. definitely it pull s on your hcnn a little bit," he said. "But you can't let your heart make a business decision at all tim~s ....

Martinsv ille will re tain both of its race dates in the 2005 sctlson, and Campbell will also rcmai n as prcsiJe'm under ISC's ownership. The schedule al'o answers many other questions about 2005 .

VI age to ' e ne, es a 20 -mt 1e course through farmland that has been ·· h f ennc ed by hundreds o years of floods that pre-date the dam. The river iiself is normally a quiet collection of long pools, wide rocky shallows and a few riffles that redirect the current and separate the water into a series of chutes before it merges again to form more pools. Huge cottonwoods and sycamores shade large areas of the river, making it difficult to determine the depth, which averages Jess than 3 feet in most areas. · A few bald eagles patrol the skies, while herons wade in the slack water below, grabbing minnows and chubs as they dart between the moss-covered rocks. Most of the time, .there is little additional activity aromid the river, other than the nocturnal wanderings of raccoons and skunks along the banks . But in the spring and early summer, the Portage and many other Ohio streams get an injection of life. There is an influx of fish from Lake Erie that charge up the Portage to fee.d or spawn. The resident populations move out.of the depths and into the shallower pools, within the reach of the fishermen who wade the Ponage or cast from its banks. What results is a short-term bonanza for the fishermen who time it right - a cornu. copia type catch is possible. ;Tve been here in February and March and caught next to nothing ... August and September are the same, but April through June this place comes alive ," fisherman Ron Jenkins, of Cleveland, said as he cast tiny spinners into the swift water under the state Sunday, May 16, 2004 Route 590 bridge . "I've caught six different kinds of fish in an hour's time. standing in the same spot. That's hard to· beat. no mauer where you go." Jenkin s was fishing primarily for white bass, which each spring run up the Portage and several other rivers that feed Lake Erie to spawn. He had a dozen of the silver-sided fish on hi s stringer, along with 3 small wall- ••• eye, three crappie and a small mouth bass. Jeff Tyson. the fishe(ie s biology supervisor at the Ohio Division of Wildlife 's S .. · 1 andusky Fts 1 Research Unit, said a paten- . tial mixed bag of gamefish and panfish awaits fishermen who time their visit to the Portage and other Ohio streams to coincide with the influx of fish each spring. ;'This is absolutely a spring phenomenon. becll!tse once the water level drops and the water warms, most of those fish will be back out in the take, or in deeper water downstream," Tyson said. <;There's a real diversity of fi sh in there right now, and this is the .optimum time to catch them. They are active . and putting on the feed bag. " The Portage holds resident populations of smallmouth bass and crappie. along with sufficient numbers of sunfish . blue~ills and rock bass. There are also roughfish ltke carp. gar and suckers in the river throughout the year. But it is the flush of new water in the spring and the gradually warming day s that bring them from the deeper stretches between Oak Harbor and Port Clinton upstream where anglers can usually lind them by working the pools and slack water below each set of riftles. The lake plays a major role in this spring fishing bonanza as w.ell, supplying the Portage and a number of other streams with the runs of walleye and white bass. and num. bers of other gamefish that migrate upstream on a feeding frenzy before spawning..

"A sad and dreary winter will soon be gone and earth's rough surface shall be changed from white to green and the lark will warble her songs of joy as she soars amid the lofty air. Ah; but slop; are we all yet living? No; God hath sent his angels and called from our midst many friends, of which we, nor they were little expecti ng that death was so near. Let us see on what terms do we stand with an entreating Providence, bidding us to do away with si n and folly and show by our actions throughout that we have left a world of sin to meet those who have gone before."

Coming Thursday ... "GJ?fac~ f(J <C;e, f? ~~ f(J d$)," Sunday, May 16,2004 The Farruly and Medical Leave Act The Family and Medical Leave Act, coll)fllonly known as the FMLA, was passed into law by Congress and signed by the President in 1993. The FMLA requires covered employers to provide a minimum of twelve weeks of unpaid lea'Ve from employment for any of the following reasons: the binh of a child of an employee in order to care for the ·child: the pla<:ement of a child with an employee for adoption or foster care: to care for the spouse. child, or parent of the employee, if such person has a serious health condition; or if the employee has a serious health condition which makes the employee unable to perform their job. To be eligible under the FMLA.. you have to have been employed for at least I2 months by the employer of whom leave is requested. You also, during that I2 month period, must have worked at least I ,250 hours for that employer during the prior I2 months. Additionally, for a pri.vate employer to be subject to the Act, they must employ 50 or more employees for each working day during each of 20 or more calendar workweeks in the current · or preceding year. If you qualify under the FMLA, you are entitled to take up to 12 weeks of leave during any 12-month period. If you are an employee who sutlers from a serious health condition. the leave may be taken · on an intermittent basis. or as. a reduced leave schedule. If such intermittent or reduced schedule leave is foreseeable, the employer may transfer the employee into a position which will better suit the . James Henry employee's needs and. abilities. so long as the employee is qualified tor the position and that it has equivalem pay and benefits. An employee's benefits under · the FMLA do not replace his or her ac<:rued paid leave benetits. However. an employer may require that employees use all avaifable sick and vacation time before receiving FMLA time. When the need for leave is foreseeable, the employee must provide ihe employer with at least 30 days' notice of the required leave. Employees covered · under the FMLA should make every effort to keep · their employers infonned of all requirements for leave. Employees may eve.n be required to report penodtcally as to the status of their leave and intention to return to work. When an employee is claiming leave for a serious medical condition, an employer may require written medrc:al certification. Such cenrtrcatton must contatn ( I) the date the condttton began, (2) ns expected duratton, (3) the facts necessary to make the medical determination, and (4) a statement that the requested leave is. medically necessary. Senous medtcal condttions are those that require either mpatrent care or conlinu ing medical treatment. Col'ered employers arc required to maintain any group health plan coverage for any . covered employee . during any period of FMLA ' leave. If the employee fails to ·_ return to work following the leave. the amount of that employee\ premium paid by the employer on the empi(Jycc's behalf during the leave must be repaid to the . employer. unless the employ- · ee can cet1ify in writing that the failure to return to work was due . to the employee's serious health condition. When the employee returns to work. he or she is entitled to the po'ition previously held .. or its equivalent Employers may. however. require certitlcation by a health professional that the returning employee is fit for work. If the employer re4uires this. the employee is entitled to thi s ccrtitication from their health care provider, and no second or third opinion may be required. Although employers are prohibited from interfering with an employee's rights under the FMLA. this contin. ues to happen on a regular basi;. An employer who is tound to be in violation of FMLA is liable for damages including lost wages. salary, employment benefits or other compensation. plus interest and liquidated damages.

' your Summer is just around the comer. This is the season when precautions can be taken to ensure the longevity of your hearing. Approximately 28 million Americans have hearing loss that affects his/her ability to .un<ierstand nonnal speech. The leading cause of hearing loss is excessive noise exposure. endings; the damage· is permanent. The damage caused by noise called sensorineural hearing loss or nerve loss can be caused by several other factors other than noise. However, noise-induced hearing loss is -different in one important way- IT CAN BE REDUCED OR PREVENTED ALTOGETHER. HO\\' CA1\ I TELL lF A :-iOlSE IS DAI'GEROlJS'! People differ in their sensitivity to noise. As a general rule, noise may damage your hearing if you have to shout over background noise to make yourself heard, the noise hurts your ears, it makes your ears ring, or you are slightly deaf for several hours after exposure to the noise. CA;-.1 1 "TOUGHEN UP" MY •. EARS? r No. If you think you have grown used to a loud noise. it probably has damaged your ears. Unfortunately, there is no treatmo!nt to correct you hearing once it is damaged by noise. Additionally, the closer you are to the source of intense noise, the more damaging it is. Earmuffs or earplugs should be worn when you are working in an excessively noisy environment or using power tools, noisy yard equipment, or firearms. They should also be worn if you are attending a rock concert or mces. Licensed audiologists at Holzer Clinic are ·available from Sam to 5pm Monday thru Friday at the Gallipolis and Jackson clinic, and Tuesday and Friday at the Athens clinic. CAl\ NOISE REALLY HURT \<lY EARS'' If it is loud enough and lasts long enough, it can damage your hearing. When noise is too loud, it begins to kill the nerve endings in the inner ear. As the exposure time to loud . noise increases, more and more • nerve endings arc destroyed. As the number of nerve endings decreases, so does your hearing.

Medical Director for the Holzer Center for Cancer Care As I travel .about our communities, I'm often asked "Why do we need a cancer center?" The answer to that very important question has to do with the concept of providing the people in our tri-state area with a program of excellence in oncology care. This new Holzer facility will have state of the art radiation therapy equipment under the direction of a well trained and .experienced radiation theraJ)iSt who will see patients with competent and credentialed medical oncologists who have the most modem treatment protocols available. 'The support stafT in this program will be highly trained, experienced and, as always, compassionate members of the team . The ultimate purpose of this effort is to provide our communities with the confidence they can receive optimal cancer care locally, if they so choose. If they prefer to go to a more distant center for an opinion or for care, that can be facilitated. The new center will integrate services important to the cancer patient and their family from ' resource utilization spiritual, financial, psycho-social and aspects. Educational efforts for the healthy community include .discussions regarding life style, early detection and prevention. Finally, a structure will be created to conduct cancer research (clinical trials) in collaboration with the National Cancer In stitute and other nationally acclaimed institutions to assist in answering important questions of care and guaranteeing the confidence of our community. Thank You Nurses Holzer Clinic would like to thank all the nurse!> that help make our facilities what they are today. Without your constant caring hands our patients care would suffer.
