Protect spring ·flowers for next year •• POMEROY, Ohio - Daffodils, tulips and hyacinths have bloomed and now are in decline around the· yard. Do not braid, tie up or cut the foliage until it has completely dried up. This is the time these bulbs form their bulbs for next year's bloom. The leaves left alone will allow photosynthesis (manufacturing of sugars) to continue through May. Early cutting of the leaves will reduce plant strength . and therefore bloom quality next year. This September, apply a high phosphorus and potash fer.tilizer like 6-2424 at a rate of three pounds per 100 square feet. Remember that daffodils, especially, like fall moisture to develop an extensive root system.

MILES lAYTON Staff writer POMEROY - Pomeroy Mayor John - William Blaettnar, 70, died at about 6 a.m. today at his home. on Wright Street. Council president Victor Young III, who assumes the responsibi Ities as mayor, said Blaettnar was a devoted public servant. ' "This will be a big loss for the village," Youn~ said . "His main prioilty was the village. John.was good for the village." Blaettnar served the village with distinction for many years. He was first elected as a member of village counci I in 1992 "and immediately elected president of council. He became mayor a year later when Bruce Reed resigned. Blaettnar served for three years and ran again in 2000, serving until his death. During his ·tenn in office, Blaettnar was behind several major projects including an upgrade to the village water system. The mayor said on many occassions that the· project wou'ld attract business and industry to the village. Blaettnar also established the new position of village magistrate early in his second term in 200 I. The new position was the first of its kind in the county. Kathy Hysell, clerk-treasurer, said the village will miss Blaettnar with whom she worked for many years. Beyond village government, Blaettnar served his community in many ways. He was a longtime member of the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department alongside his son Rick, who is now the fire chief. Blaettnar was an active member of the Trinity Church where he served as a member of the choir and church coun- · cil. He also was a member of the Drew Webster American Legion Post 39. · Blaettner is survived by his wife, Eleanor; son, Rick; three daughters, Elizabeth, Mary and Cathy, and several grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending. --dJ.~~-- Middleport cashier music, teddy bear fan BY BRI-ll J. REED Staff writer MASON, W.Va.

When they realized the tornado was headed their way, they attempted to make it into the basement, but a bottleneck developed at the top of the stairs, Goodman said.

Nominate them for Hearings set fOr Terry Nichols OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - .Almost tive years after Terry Nicho ls was sentenc_ed to life behmd bars m a federal pnson for h1s role m the Oklahoma City bombing, Oklahoma prosecutors are hoping to win a more severe punishment on state charges: his life. Nichols was to appear before a judge Monday at a preliminary hearing that will determine whether there is enough evidence to send him to death row on 160 counts of firstdegree murder. Testimony will· be heard under tight security in a counroom in the basement of the 0k.lahoma County Jail, where Nichols has been held since January 2000. Nichols, 48. was previously conviCted on federal conspiracy and involuntary manslaughter charges for the deaths of eight law enforcement offtcers in the bombtng. which killed 168 people. The state charges involve victims who were not part of Nichols' federal trial. Prosecutors say a state conviction is needed to eliminate the possibility that he could ever successfully appeal his federal ~ase and gain freedom. They met twice this year with Nichols' attorney in attempts to settle the case n.. t.,~ugh a negotiated plea. No settlement was · . reached. · Martha Ridley said she has waited eight years for Nichols to be presecuted for the death of her daughter, Kathy Ridley, in the April 19, 1995. attack on the Oklahoma City federal building. "These pepple deserve justice," Ridley said. "He wasn't given the death penalty and these people are just as dead today as they were April 19. And they will never come back.'' 'T d like to see him get the death penalty to tell you the truth," said Roy Sells, whose wife, Lee, was killed. "We need to clear the books in the state of Oklahoma for 160 deaths." Evidence that state prosecutors will present to state District Judge Allen McCall is el\pected to be the same evidence presented during Nichols' federal trial in Denver. Prosecutors have said they plan to present about 30 witnesses. including federal investigators. Prosecutors allege that Nichols and co-conspirator Timothy McVeigh worked together to prepare a 4,000-pound fuel-and-fertilizer bomb that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Nichols was at home in Herington, Kan., the day the bomb exploded. But prosecutors accused him of helping McVeigh deliver a getaway car to Oklahoma City and of working with Me Veigh to pack the bomb inside a Ryder truck on the day before. McVeigh was convicted on federal murder charges. He was executed in June 2001. Legal disputes, intluding complaints by Nichols' court-appointed defense attorneys that his legal bills are not being paid promptly, have postponed seven other preliminary hearing dates. Nichols' def~nse attorneys have been paid about $2.5 million so far.

Fox lived a crime-free life before he killed a college student after hiring her to a phony job interview. David M. Brewer was a model citizen until he kidnapped and murdered a former fraternity brother's wife. And, both were well-behaved after their convictions. In both cases, public 'defenders argued to the Ohio Parole Board that the 'two weren't the "worst of the worst" offenders for whom the death penalty is intended. Based on the board's recommendations, Gov. Bob Taft refused clemency requests: Fox and Brewer were executed. The cases raise the question of whether the parole board should compare inmates as each clemency request comes before it to determine who on death row is among society 's most vile criminals deserving the most severe punishment. Death penalty expens say that ideally, the board should look at the offense and the offender when determining wno's eligible for a reduced sentence instead of execution.

Now here's a hopeful possibility, as r~ported by the Houston Chronicle: Veritas DGC, a seismic recording firm, uses 60 ATVs to transport workers and equipment into hills to monitor underground shock waves. After a rider· smashed into a fence at high speed and was killed, a company scientist spent six months devising a small electronic box that limits ATV speed to 15 miles per hour - instead of the 60 mph the buggies can reach. · "It worked," the Texas newspaper said. "The device reduced the number of ATVaccidents by 97 percent. In 1997, the company had 39 injuries. In 2001, it had one." . Apparently, "gunning" tile sport vehicles in spurts of speed is a major factor in deaths and injuries.

The Committee on College Life has renewed its official recognition of the Harvard Radcliffe Christian Fellowship. Big deal? You bet. It turns out that while anyone may join this small campus Christian group, it continues to draw its leadership from among candidates who actually believe. in the Holy Spirit and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This, according to the editors of the Harvard Crimson, violates Harvard's anti-discrimination policy. As a recent editorial in the college paper put it, Harvard is "in error for not demanding that the club remove its discriminatory policy from its constitution. All students should be free to panici pate in College activities without being discriminated against because of belief." Zounds. Given that a Christian Fellowship is one . big college activity singularly dependent on belief, it would seem that Muffy and Jason and Savonarola have gone ~ little too far this time. According to this next generation of sensitivity trainers and diversity consultants any student who wants to lead the Christian Fellowship "should not be excluded because of a reluctance to accept certain tenets." Indeed, Harvard "forced" should have Fellowship members to drop these "celtain tenets" - you know, Christ. the Holy Spirit from their leadership requirements "or lose College recognition.". ••- ~· several schools, both ·public mutilation.

"Asking the board to make a judgment on the 'worst of the worst' is especially compelling beqmse the board looks at all cases that come before it, and not just one case, like a jury or judge does," said Douglas Berman, an Ohio State University law professor who specializes in cap· ita! punishment issues. "But, it 's easier to look at how terrible a crime is, than it is to compare the mitigati"ng factors in a person 's life." That's -perhaps why the parole board largely has stayed away from determining whether an inmate is the "worst of the worst," Berman said. Instead; in its written recommendations to Taft about whether he should grant clemency, · the board has focused on whether inmates have accepted responsibility for their crimes, as well as the circumstances surrounding the offenses. David Bodiker, the state's public defender, said the .board should. be looking at the crime and at the criminal, and then judging -by comparing to others - who is the worst. "The board's not looking at the character of the individual and that is obviou& from the se two cases.'' he said. Bodiker said Fox and Brewer were ideal candidates for clemency because they had admitted guih and had led upstanding lives before and · after their crimes: "We felt that here are guys who really do not deserve to be executed,'' Bodiker said. "Frankly, each of them was most unlikely person on death row." · He said that only a handful of the inmates on death row are among society's worst criminal s, .either because they have substantial criminat pasts or their conviction was one in a series of violent crimes.

'· He says he will never make a claim because it is against his religious beliefs, which include taking care ,of one 's own liabilities. The Amish also believe that filing an insurance claim goes against Biblical principles of trusting in God. A bill about to become Jaw in Ohio exempts certain employers from paying premiums if they and their employees are members of religious sects opposed to insurance. The Amish have sought the provision for at least a decade. "If we don't use it, why should we pay . it?'' said Kaufm;m, 52, owner of 77 Coach Supply in Mount Hope, about 35 miles southeast of Akron. Twenty-five of Kaufman's 28 employees at his 22-yearold business are Amish. He pays into a separate church aid fund to cover the cost of accidents, a practice followed by other Amish and Mennonite businesses. The new provision is parr of the Bureau of Workers' Compensation two-year budget, which Gov. Bob '{aft signed into law Friday. Under the state's workers' compensation program , employers pay • into a fund that provides benefits to workers injured on the job. The new regulation aligns workers' compensation law with federal law. which exempts the Amish from paying into Social Security, said bureau spokesman Jim Samuel. Other states with Amish or Mennonite populations vary in their practice. Kentucky and Pennsylvania have similar exemption for employees of a "recognized ·religious sect." Neither Michigan nor Indiana allow groups to seek such exemptions. Indiana lawmakers have struggled for years over whether to grant the exemption, said Sandy Fralich, a spokeswoman for the . state Workers Compensation Board. One issue "is the unfair advantage it gives the people that are exempt. because they're competing with people who have to buy insurance," Fralich said. "The other issue is secular versus nonsecular, with the government trying to regulate something with someone's religion.'' Some Ohio contractors oppose the measure on the · same grounds. "This option for some contractors is 11nfair, and unconstitutional as a violation of separation of church and state," I:.uther Liggett. an attorney representing the National Electrical Contractors' Association, said in a letter to the Senate Insurance Committee.

Massive and Gothic, with two spires at either side of an ornate rose-shaped window, the Cincinnati Music Hall has been host for presidential politics, classical and popuJar music, ice skating. weddings and wrestling matches. The building's history will be celebrated with a !25th anniversary party on Wednesday, with the Cincinnati Symphony's Youth Orchestra, May Festival Youth Chorus · and ensembles from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music to perform at a concert. Architect Samuel Hannaford, who designed several of Cincinnati's landmark buildings, designed Music Hall and it opened in 1878. A year later, two wings were added. The total cost: $4;f~;?~il was built over a 19th century potter's field, and human remains have been found under the building. Union Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, after his Civil War career, won the 1880 Democratic presidential nomination at the parry's national convention in the building, only to later lose to James Garfield. The hall is the home of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Pops, which perform their recordings in the building for the Cleveland-based Telarc label. The 3.416-seat Music Hall has had 81 Cincinnati May Festivals, the choral festival for which the building was originally constructed. There have been countless Cincinnati Symphony and Pops concerts, Cincinnati Ballet performances of "The Nutcracker," graduation ceremonies and speeches. " It 's been not only musical activity. but commercial. exhibition type of activity way before convention halls were a part of the city land-. scape," said Erich Kunze!, conductor of the Cincinnati Po~~ Cincinnati Symphony first performed in the building in I 897 and has made it a permanent home since 1936. The symphony's priceless music library is protected by a halon gas fire suppression system backed by sprinklers. · A climb up a ladder into the building's attic underneath . the eastern gable allows a, view of the rose window, the · steel trusses that suppon the roof and the winch used to raise and lower Music Hall's 1,5(){)-pound crystal chandelier. The red brick building is · on the National Register of Historic Places. Its stage has seen performers iitcluding Jascha Heifetz, Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti, Andres Segovia, Mikhail . Baryshnikov, Duke. Ellington, Benny Goodman,· Count Basie, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, The Who, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. Bach's "Magnificat" received its U.S. premiere at the 1875 May Festival and Mahler's Symphony No. 5 by the Cincinnati SymphonY: in 1905. Copland's '~Fanfare for the Common Man," commissiomid by the Cincinnati Symphony, was premiered at Music Hall in 1943. Kunze! has made 9 I Pops recordings at Music Hall and taped five PBS television shows. A sixth, "Patriotic Broadway," airs June 2. Cincinnati Symphony music director Paavo Jarvi's 2001 . inaugural concert with the symphony will be telecast June 4 on PBS. Music Hall's acoustics are highly regarded. "We have loved working in Music Hall since our first recording in 1978," said RoBert Woods , presiden1 of the Telarc recording label. "The hall is old and therefore splendidly organic . There is no concrete under the stage, just huge wooden beams, ai1d thick, solid plaster walls," he said. "We could only wish we had such a wonderful place to work whell we make our other. recordings." Jarvi , who has just com-. pleted his second season as the Cincinnati Symphony's principal conductor, said he feels the bistory of the buildmg .

Meigs went on to score in every inning as Katie Jeffers, behind a solid defense, twirled a three hitter retiring the Eagles in order in the first three and seventh innings.

CINCINNATI (AP) Wearing a bright orange jersey and an unfamiliar number, Carson Palmer took hi s first NFL snaps Cincinnati during the Bengals ' minicamp this weekend. Jon Kitna and Akili Smith Tan more plays, but Nq. l draft pick Palmer got most of the • attention from dozens of fans watching practice at the invitation of the team's radio station. It wasn't. difficult to tel!. which quarterback was the star in the making. "'Johnny B. Goode.' You guys remember 1 that movie?" Kitna said. "Southern California, 6foot-5, blond-haired. . I think he has blue eyes, nice tan, all that stuff. He's the perfect guy. "You look up 'quarterback' (in the dictionary) and see a little picture of Carson." . Well, not quite yet. The Heisman Trophy winner has a !on!! way to ,go before he gets h1s name in any reference book other than the team's media guide, which won't be printed for a couple of months. Replicas of his Bengals jersey are available for $65 on the team's Web site the only jersey currently advertised online - but tt has .his new No. 9 instead of the No. 3 he wore in college at Southern California. In Cincinnati, it's Kitna's number and Kitna 's job, for the moment. "Even though they call me · the starter this year, that's not true," Kitna said. "That is not true. Go out and fall flat oQ your face, or if Akili or ._.-Carson lights it up, I don't care who. you are, they will take you out. That's the nature of the beast." In the past, rookie quarterbacks have been swallowed whole by this team's impatience . The Bengals took David Klingler with the sixth overall pick in I 992, then got into a contract dispute that wiped out his training camp. Klingler wasn't pre~ pared when th~ Bengals made him the starter midway through his rookie season, a move that stunted his career. · The same thing happened with Smith, the third overall pick in the 1999 draft. He got less than one full season to prove himself, then got dropped to No. 3 on the depth chart. First-year coach Marvin Lewis gives the impression he won't make the same throwing mistake by Palmer in too soon. Lewis also realizes he has to win games right away to change perceptions of the NFL's worst !earn, so it's best for the rookie quarterback to sit. Lewis hasn't decided where Palmer will be on the depth chart- No. 3, meaning he would play only in an emer?ency, or No. 2, where he s one injury away from getting thrown into a game. " I can't answer that question," Lewis said . "Our reason for drafting Carson was that we were comfortable with him being our second quarterback, so we felt that good about him. " The overriding question · is how long it will take Palmer to get comfortable enough ro•run the offense. After he signed a sevenyear contract that includes $14 million in bonuses, Palmer started learning the playbook over the phone with quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese. Palmer got some classroom work during the weekend .minicam·p. "Maybe the area he impressed me more thananything was the grasp of things in a short period of time with limited · meetings," offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski said. Palmer is learning the offense in phases and can't predict when he'll know it all. "I wish there was a certain date where I will have it," Palmer said. "That's not how it works at all. Right now, there's no real timetable or real date when · I can say I'm going t\l know the offense." While he learns, the rest · of the team patiently waits. "Carson's a great pick," running back Corey Dillon said. "He ' s going to do wonders for us. In due time, he should be a good quarterback."

"He's at the top of the list of guys I respect. I just meant Barry's young, he's older. I was just trying to be cute."

When our daughter was barely 6 months old, I caught. my husband having an affair with his.ex. I was going ·to leave him, but I discovered I was pregnant with our son. He would leave for weekends, after fighting with me and getting drunk, to go see his former girlfriend. I finally had enough and filed for divorce.

SAD AND ALONE IN FLORIDA DEAR SAD AND ALONE: My legal experts tell me there is a procedure you can go· through that will allow you to divorce your husband even Dear Abby ADVICE though he refuses to sign the papers. Please discuss it with a lawyer. Also check with the district attorney's office in your community. The staff there may be able to help you get child support, at no cost to you. Soinetimes when spouses are forced to pay child support, they develop an interest in their children. As long as your husband is sober and behaving responsibly, this should be encouraged.
