PageA2 Saturday, June 21, 2003 Supreme .Court delays Williams execution.planned for Tuesday Saturday, June 21 . •II ·ohio • West 6aturbap ~tmd ·itnttntl • Showe/S T-SIOITT'Is Rain Flurries Snow loo COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Supreme Court on Friday delayed next week 's execution of convicted killer L ewi s Williams to allow a Cuyahoga County trial court 'to hold a hearing on whether he is mentally retarded. The court ruled without commenting. It did not set another date for the execution. Williams. 44, was to die by lethal injection at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucas ville for killing a 76year-old Cleveland woman during a robbery 20 years ago. Judge Janet Burnside had ordered that Williams appear in her Cleveland courtroom on Monday - about four hours north of the prison - so she could determine whether he is mentally retarded. The judge also would determine whether Williams should be allowed to fire his courtappointed attorneys and dismiss hi s mental retard ation claim . Willi ams had made those requests on June 5. Prosecutors had asked the court to prohibit Burnside from holding the hearing, arguing that it was not needed because Williams had not presented any evidence, thu s far. that he . i s mentally retarded. They wanted Burnside to simply rule without a hearing that Williams was competent. The U.S. Supreme Court last year ruled that executing the mentally retarded was unconstitutional. County Prosecutor William Mason did not return a phone message seeking comment Friday. Steve Ferrell, an assistant public defender repre senting Williams, said the decision relieved stress over holding a hearing so close to the execution. Defense attorney s were con- cerned about having to rush Williams 'Straight to the southern Ohi o prison from Cleveland, immediately after the hearing. Ferrell said. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and CmTection requires the inmate to be at the prison 24 hours before the scheduled execution. Burnside said Friday that she had no comment on the ruling and that the hearing would proceed as planned. She said earlier that she is not required to conduct a hearing on Martin's requests and his claim, but that she felt a hearing was needed in thi s· case. Burnside said Williams was brought to the Cuyahoga County jail on Thursday, Earlier Friday, Gov. Bob Taft denied clemency for Williams. saying he had no doubt about Williams ' guilt or the appmpriateness of his death sentence. The Ohio Parole Board unanimously recommended against clemency. "There i s no evidence o f procedurul irregularity or unfairness 10 Mr. Williams ," Taft said in a news release . " I lind that the aggravating circumstances and brutality of M r. Williams' crime outweigh any mitigat ing factors he has presented." A spokeswoman for a Cle ve land-area group that opposes the death penalty said her group was pleased by the del ay. · "We welcome any stay that allows for further investigation of a capital case," said Kathy Soltis of the Cleveland Coalition Agitin st the Death Penalty. Williams would have been the ninth inmate to be put to death since the state resumed execution s in 1999 after 36 years. • He was convicted of murdering Leoma Chmielewski, a neighbor of hi s cousin's, in her home on Jan. 20, 1981 Dead Greenbrier bird tests positive for West Nile West Virginia weather Saturday, June 21 CHARLESTON, W.Va.

The funeral home was searched - after authorities received at least two anooymous tips, includin~ someone who gave no name "but identitied himself or herself as a funeral home employee, according to Ford and his staff. Megan Vahey, a spokeswoman for the mayor, said Ford was upset by the tindings and was concerned about peopie worried that a loved one 's body was one of those found . " People are concerned it's · their mother or father," she said . Ail investigator with the Ohio Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors was working with authorities to determine if industry standards were violated. , " This i s extremely rare and very serious," said executive director Ann Cunningham.

The Lucas County Health Department warned the funera1 home in letters on May 7 and June 4 that it had failed to file timely death certificates. . Failing to file a completed death certificate within five days of a death is punishable by up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both, the health department said . "This appears to be an ongoing problem and we need to re solve thi s issue. We are ready to take legal action if thi s does not get resolved," the agency said.

' Regional Views Questionable information Dayton (Ohio) Daily Nell'S, 011 honald Rum.ifeld: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was in Europe last week mending fences and delivering certain messages. One message was that Europe and the United States must get together to confront Iran on its development of nuclear weapons. That development, he said, is being conducted under the pretense of a nuclear energy program . How does he know? The answer he provided: U.S. and other intelligence agencies say so, Therein lies a problem. In the buildup to the Iraq war, top American officials made important claims about Iraqi weapons that they are now less eager to make.' They also made some that have simply been proven wrong. The claims were presumably based on intelligence reports. So when Secretary Rumsfeld now cites intelligence reports on Iran, skepticism is inevitable. The clock is ticking The Register-Herald of Beckley: The clock is ticking and West VirginiRns will soon take a licking if lawmakers don't lower the legal blood-alcohol content level. Sen. Mike Ross, D-Randolph , chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, came into last week's legislative interims hopeful that Goy. Bob Wise would stick the .08 blood alcohol content proposal on his agenda. ··· It didn' t happen . Wise's press secretary. Amy Goodwin, said the governor elected to skip the bill in his call after it became apparent there was no agreement in the Legislature to proceed with it. ''The governor certainly regrets this and is concerned about the loss of federal monev," she said'. So are we. ' Lowering the BAC tiom 0.10 to 0.08 tmnslates into mere federal highw&y dollars- millions of strong incentives, in foct, Jrr making the change. In October 2000, President Clinton signed a bill setting a tough national standard for drunken driving. saying the new legal limit of 0.08 percent will save 500 lives a year and force Americans to take more care when they drink. States refusing to impose the standard by 2004 will lose millions of dollars in federal highway construction money. On the other hand, states receive millions of dollars in incentives if laws are enacted before the deadline- Oct. I, 2003. With the state in the state it's in. fiscally speaking, vie can only scratch our heads while trying to figure out why lawmakers are willing to let more than $25 million hit the road. West Virginia lost $600,000 in bonus federal highway money two years ago for failing to lower the legal standard, · then another$ 1.5 million last year. But that's just the tip of the iceberg , Starting in 2004, the state would lose 2 percent of federal money, or S2.6 million , that could be used for filling potholes, fixing bridges and widening highways. Another 2 8ercent. would be lost each year up to 8 percent, or about $1 .6 mlihon. . Bills that would restructure West Virginia's drunken driving laws have failed to pass during the pa~t two sessions. The reasons range from states' rights- "we don t want the feds telling us what to do" - to jail overcrowding, to being "pig~ybacked" with other bills. Still, money talks,. And $25 mtllion fixes a lot of bumpy roads. .I SHAVED, FINISHED GEITffo/6 DRESSED, RETRiEVED IVIES'S~GES, AT~ 81i!EAKFA5T &: 60T INTO A COUPLE OF ACCIDf:NiS, Al.L" ON MY WAY TO WO~K .. ·yy anchors away: The death of journalist David Brinkley brought the usual cries of how terrible the state of TV news is these days, Newsweek magazine. alwqys a predictable source of establishment angst, praised Brinkley as one of a kind and far superior to the "blowhard" TV news types these days, I felt quite a breeze as that insult whizzed by. Anywa.y, Brinkley was unique and skilled and an innovator. there's no doubt about it. He was one of the few TV anchor people who never pandered to the powerful, and his skepticism separated him from the fawning majority of television types who, above alI. want access to the famous and infamous. For Brinkley, accurate analysis and information was the goal , and if that offended somebody, so be it. He also had style and wit. something severely lacking on Broadcast Row these day s . . But the new era of instant information rendered David Brinkley and many other broadcast veterans almost powerless. No longer is the American puhlic a captive audience, and no longer will the folks settle for an expressionless recitation of the news. With the advent of the Internet and round-the-clock cable news, the audience quickly knows the basic facts of a story. But often along with those facts comes instant spin and contradiction. Informational fog develops. leaving busy Americans in need of context. They want to know how the journalists they trust feel about things that are important news needs are changing to their lives. The news consumer is almost desperate for someone to define the truth of the matter. · Thus, the good old d a y s when the Brinkleys. t h e Cronkites and even Tom, Dan Bill O'Reilly and Peter c o u Id - - - - • s i m pI y introduce stories in measured tones are coming to an end. The audience for dispassionate TV news is shrinking, the demand for passion~te reporting and analysis is on the rise. That trend, of course. is like a cross in front of a vampire for the TV news traditionalists. They hate that. Even though newspapers have editorialized from the very beginning of this republic, and print columnists are legion. analysis durmg a TV news broadcast is still very daunting for many network news types. The question is, why 0 I had to ask Peter Jennings five times on my program if it fru strated him to keep his opinions to himself all the time. He finally admitted it did (or maybe he just wanted to shut me up), But it m~kes sense. Jennings as well as Dan Rat her and Tom Brokaw know a lot more than they're telling you. They understand the issues and know who the charlatans are. These three men should be commentators, not news readers. They have insights far beyond most Americans. For the good of the country they should share t~em. Two things hold them back. First, it is risky to do news analysis. You are bound to tick off some powerful people. Whatever opinion you throw out, some· body's not going to like it. These guys are not used to taking heat When you have gazillions of dollars in the bank. who needs that" Secondly, the network su its would get nervous. Newspaper columnists are expected to offend people. TV types are not. They are basically diplomats. and some are even a calming inlluence. Can you imagine Peter Jennings pointing his linger demanding that President Bush come dean about weapons of mass destruction ? Can you picture Tom Brokaw pounding his desk and chiding Hillary for writing .a book full of propaganda? It is hard to imagine. but wouldn't you like to see it? Just about anybody can be taught to read the news. Topo Gigio, the little Italian mouse could do it. Why are brillimn men l.ike Jennings. Rather ~nd Brokaw wasting their , time chm:king headlines at us? The country needs darity and honest insights. David Brinkley is gone, but the others still have some time. · Why Davis deserves to be recalled Gray Davi s is a dead man walking. The most unpopular governor in California's hi story could very well become the first occupant of the state's highest office recalled by the voters. Davis suggests that the recall campaign- which he previously di smissed as quixotic - is nothing more than a nefarious attempt by Republicans to overturn the result of California's last gubernatorial election. "It's being organized and financed by a bunch of rich losers," Davis told The Orange County Re gister. "Nothing but a bunch of losers running around talking to one. another." · His Grayness is particularly ticked off at Rep. Darrell Issa - the Vi sta Republican, multimillionaire car-alarm magnate and prospective gubernatorial candidate _ who has ponied up more than $800,000 to gather signatures for the recall petition. :·(Issa) just wants to run for governor on the cheap," Davis sneered in recent remarks to a San Francisco radio station. C 2003 by N~A .

No matter how many hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars lssa spent on signalure-gathering. lndeed, recall drives have been waged against California governors on 31. previous occasions. All had failed ; not one proposed recall had ma\:le it to the state ballot. Davis may face the ignominy of an actual recall election - of becoming only the second governor in U.S. history to actually be recalled (the first , North Dakota' s Lynn J. Frazier, occurred in 1921) - because of his unfavorable standing among California residents across the board .

COMMERCE, Calif - A line of tniin cars broke loose in a switching yard and rolled more than 30 miles before worlcers derailed them to avoid a potential disaster in Los Angeles, launching tons of lumber onto trackside homes but causing only a handful of injuries. · Railroad worlcers divened the 31 cars onto a side track at rioon after they had raced nearly 30 miles at speeds sometimes topping 70 mph.' At least II derailed, unleashing a blimtrd of wood, newsprint and fiberboard that destroyed two homes and damaged two others. "That was the last chance we felt we had to derail them before they went into downtown Los Angeles," Union Pacific Railroad spokesman John Brumley said. Firefighters sent three children and three adults to hospitals tor treatment of minor injuries. Seven other people were treated for minor injuries at the scene, authorities said. ll1e train cars were derailed in the largely industrial ccmmunity about 30 minutes afier they got · loose at a switChing xard in Montclair and began rolling downhilL "We saw the train demolishing and splintering the house. You saw the power lines going down, the spad<s. I was in shock," said Jason Mendez, 34. "It sounded like a plane crash combined with an earthquake," he said. Ftrefighters and dogs searched huge piles of debris and news helicopters were asked to back off to allow the use of listening equipment But no one was believed to be missing. "It's very amazing," said Los Angeles County Fire Chief Michael Freeman. "What if this happened in the middle of the night with everybody sleeping'?" Many residents of the neighborhood - filled with singlefamily houses with small yards and front porches - were at work at the time. Some wiblesses stood outside the debris crying. Others watched in silence as rescue workers combed the wreckage. Luis Carlos Vasquez Jr., 31, was raking in the back yard of one of the homes hit by flying wreckage when be heard the ttain, "'The sound wasn't right When I turned around, rocks are flying, there are two box cars in the air."

OSTLING Associated Press ST LOUIS - The first national assembly of an organization devoted to victims of abusive -Roman Catholic priests opened Friday as the nation's bishops met across town to discuss a dramatic pro,posalto deal with problems in the church. David Clohessy, national director of Surivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), told 185 members that the meeting will ·'give the strength and the skills to go out and keep doing what we've been doing for years, which is to save lives," The first day of the meeting in St. Louis included rounds of applause, testimonials and words of encouragement The ~eeting ends Sund11y. Meanwhile, bishops met in closed-door sessions to discuss calling a special nationwide church council, the tirst since 1884. But no decision will be made until next year, and if the bishops give a go-ahead to the Queen from PageA1 Heather Wood, who's been pageant.,,director since 200 I and involved with the event 'for the last eight of its 13 years, said more than $2,000 in scholarship funding will be awarded, in addition to other gifts and prizes. The pageant has attracted more [han 25 sponsors. Wood said the queen and her court will attend all regatta activities, and for the next meeting Vatican approval also is needed. The actual council would take place years atier that · SNAP leaders said that a year after U.S . bishops approved reform policies to end the sex abuse crisis, victims still find it hard to get meetings with the national bishops' conference and local church leaders. Still, the gro4p offered praise to one prelate. ,ft proclaimed Bishop Paul Bootkoski of Metuchen, N.J., "the model bishop in America" who the others should imitate. Bootkoski has initiated contact' with victims, personally met with tl'iem and apologized. He also appointed three victims to the local review board that advises him on allegations against clergy, and cooperated fully with sex crime prosecutors, SNAP said. President Barbara Blaine said her group's key achievement since the abuse scandals bro!<e in January 2002 has been expansiono from a handful of local victims' support groups to 50. SNAP, which operates on a shoestring bud- get and reports 4,600 members, has a paid staff of three, compared with none a year ago. On Saturday morning. SNAP members will discuss a "he<~ing ;md prevention" guide to its work. The proposed draft provides advice to victims, children and families. It also lists such goals as liberalizing statutes of limitations that restrict the tiling of abuse complaints. The guide also asks lay Catholics to support victims and "join a group that is working for change in the church." Blaine says about half the members still regard them-, selves as believing Catholics in some sense. National Director David Clohessy, who lives in St. Louis, said SNAP is ''95 percent Alcoholics Anonymous and 5 percent Mothers Against Drunk Drivers," meaning that while SNAP has been visible in criticizing bishops. most of its time and energy goes to helping victims find healing. The other national victims' group is The Linkup, based in Louisville, Ky. President year the queen appears at various events, festivals and parades. The winner represents the regatta at the West Virginia Fairs , and Festival pageant in Charleston next January, , Wood said the sponsorship. especially by downtown Point Pleasant businesses; is crucial to .its success. "While a lot of the regatta 's events will take place in the park area, many sponsors are located on the upper end of Main Street as well." Wood said. "I highly encourage regatta-goers to take part of the weekend perusing all of the shops on Main Street "These stores have a wide variety of goods and services to offer." she added. ''Our businesses play such a vital role in bringing regatta events free to the public through their generous donations. I would love to see them profit from the weekend's crowds. " For tho se who don't browse downtown Point Pl easant, . Wood said she believes "they will ~ pleasantly surprised by what they'll lind should they take a little shopping spree while at the regatta ." • Susan Archibald, the only paid staffer, said her group has 3,000 members. . Unlike SNAP, The Linkup includes adult victims of predatory clergy, and some Protestants as well as Catholics. The Linkup always has a Catholic priest among its. leaders. The U.S. bishops hold a tina! public session Saturday morning that features a report from their ad hoc committee that deals with sexual abuse policy.

These are actually two separate creatures: sowbugs (Porcellio laevis) and pillbugs tArmadillidium vulgare). These nuisance creatures are not insects but are small, less than three quarter-inch crustaceans related to crayfsh, shrimps and lobsters . Sowbugs .have oval, flattened bodies with seven pair of legs and two tail-like appendages. Pillbugs are similar in size and color except they don't have any tails and can roll up into a little tight ball like an armadillo. They feed on decaying organic matter, young plants, !lowers and plant roots. " One essential need to their survival is damp, humid living environment. .Our past few weeks of cool, wet weather is ideal for them to survive. They can reproduce throughout the year with broods of seven to 200 young. Young look almost identical to adults, just smaller. Control is best achieved throu\lh a combination of activities. Keep the areas around your plants as dry as possible, especially in the evening hours.

Homeowners, make sure you continue to dead head (remove dead flower heads) throughout the growing season. In my travels I'm seeing lots of peonies and geraniums with their brown dried up flowers still on the ·plants. In this damp weather grey mold (Botrytis cinera) will quickly grow on dead plant material overnight and then spread and infect healthy leaves, flowers 1md stems. Cleanliness is essential in controlling this disease. In addition, ·make sure watering is done in time to completely dry off leaves and flowers before nightfall. Fungicides may help either a mancozeb. thi ophanatemethyl or copper hydroxide. ••• Are your shrubs and trees putting on excessive growth? Homeowners still have time to lightly trim tree limbs or shrub growth. Pruning this time· of year may take the lower branch from hitting you the rest of the summer while you are.cutting the lawn or parking your car. Many times a low branch becomes tangled in equipment and then tears off the branch with a piece of the trunk of the tree or shrub. There is .no need to paint the wound created but !flake sure insects are kept away from the area. A general spray material such as malathion keeps insect activity to a .minimum. Limited fruit tree . pruning, .especially peaches and apples, may assist in the flow of air aro\lnd the fruit and increase the amount of light on the fruit to ensure proper fruit coloring.

[ ' CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Bulls guard' Jay Williams was recuperating Friday following surgery to repair injunes sustained when he crashed his week-old motorcycle . The Bulls wouldn't comment on the extent of Williams' injuries, and his family didn 't return phone calls from The Associated Press on Friday . But a source close to Williams, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said while the injuries were not life-threatening, they do jeopardize the 21-yearold 's playing career. · . "The last thing on our minds right now is basket1 ball and the foremost thought on our minds is that of Jay' s health," Bulls general manager John Paxson said in a statement Friday. "We respect the privacy of the family and as time goes on we will be waiting for the family and doctors to report to us·on Jay's status." Williams was riding a new Yamaha sporthike that he had purchased last week when it slammed into a !!,ole Thursday afternoon on the north side of Lhicago. The impact broke one of his iegs, and a witness said she saw William s layi ng about I 0 feet from where his bike came to rest. Teammate Marcus Fizer said he had warned William s of the potential dangers of riding a motorcycle. "I told him before, that may not be something that you want to do in your career at this time. Any number of thing s can happen to you," Fizer said Friday. " I tell all these young guys who like to ride motorcycles that. A lot of them still do it , though ." After the crash Williams was taken to Advocat'e Illinois Masonic. Medical Center, where he underwent surgery. A spokeswo man at the hospital on Friday referred all inquiries to the Bull s. Paxso n and coac h Bill Cartwright visited Willi ams on Friday. Neither returned messages left by the AP. "I'm not worried about the team or what this does for our future ," Cartwright told the Chicago Tribune. "I' m just worried about the severity of his injury for his career. We just have to wait and see. Our thoughts are with him ." · ATHENS, Ohio - The Ohio University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is offering pieces of the original Convocation Center floor for sale to the general public. Interested parties should contact Julio Freire, assistant director of athletics fot facilities and operations, at 740-593-4491. "Thi s is a large maintenance project because the tloor needs 10 be replaced," said Freire. " It has served us well since 1968 but has run its course." According to Freire, the court could no longer be sanded down and refinished as it had been in the past. "Thi s is a hard maple wood in a tonguein-groove system,.. he· explained. .., "Unfortunately, back in the late 60s, the technology of court sealant was not what it is today so every two years the court was literally being sanded down to bare wood and then refinished so it would have a good bro;idcast-quality appearance to it. "With today's technology. a court can go anywhere from 7-10 years between sandings. Th is court cannot take another sanding because the top layer of the tongue- · atid-groove is so thin that it is actually beginning td buckle. The reason why we can sell it as a product is because when we put it down in our home or hang it on our wall, it,s not going to have the continuous pounding that it takes as a basketball floor so it,s perfectly safe for a different setting." Raw pieces of the court are currently being sold for .between $ 100-$2.500, depending on the size.

The opportunity to purchase smaller sections of the floor, however, will present itself later this year after finished products such as end tables, clocks and plaques are created. Those items will be priced in the $35-$125 range. "We are going to have a company make a I ' product line for us consisting of a $35 desk piece, a $75 walnut plaque, a clock for $95 and an end table for $125," said Freire. ''These items could possibly feature logos, photographs and engravings and will be available in late summer or early fall when the brochures are ready." Some of the original floor will also be used for educational purposes. ''The third and final phase of this project will 'be in conjunction with the university's sports administration and facility management graduate program," said Freire. "The students will be assigned a large amount of product - maybe 3.000-5.000 square feet and will be as)ced to market and sell that product as a learning lab for them."

Blueberries' popularity stems from their unique flavor, small edible seeds and ease of preparation. Indeed,.these small fr,llits pack a big health punch. The USDA measured the antioxidant activity of more than 40 fruits and vegetables commercially avail-· able and ranked blueberries as No. 1. Scientists believe that anthocyanin - the substance that gives blueberries their unique color - is responsible for this major health benefit. In addition to their antioxidant power, blueberries bring a host of other benefits to the table, according to the North American Blueberry Council. They may help prevent aging and urinary tract infections, reduce cholesterol and improve vrsron. Just in time for Independence Day celebrations, try .this "Red White and Blueberry Pound Cake," courtesy of the North American Blueberry Council. It's sure to be a "berry" big hit. RED, WHITE AND BLUEBERRY POUND CAKE Serves 6 to 8 F£esh blueberries should be firm, dry, plump, smooth-skinned and relatively free of leaves and' stems. Color ·rather than size indicates maturity. Berries should be deep purple to blue-black. Reddish berries aren't ripe but may be used in ccioking. · Fresh berries should be stored in the refrigerator. Use within 10 days. 1 package frozen pound cake 1 container whipped cream cheese 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 2 . tablespoons orange juice 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries Raspberry-Orange Sauce 314 cup seedless raspberry jam 6 tablespoons orange juice FOR THE SAUCE Combine jam and orange juice, and stir together until smooth. Makes about 1 cup. FOR THE CAKE Slice frozen pound cake lengthwise into three pieces; arrange in a single layer on a cookie sheet with top of cake layer cut side up. Pierce layers with fork tines. Spread each with 2 tablespoons of the raspberry-orange sauce; let stand 10 to 15 minutes so that the cake absorbs the sauce. Meanwhile, stir together cream cheese, sugar and orange juice in a bowl until well blended. • To assemble cake, place bottom layer on a serving plate. Sp;ead evenly with a third of the cream cheese mixture. Arrange a third of the blueberries evenly over cream cheese. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon raspberry-orange sauce over blueberries. Repeat with center slice of cake. Place top layer cut side down; spread with remaining cream cheese mixture. Decorate cake to resemble an American flag using remaining blueberries and the strawberries. Serve with the remaining raspberry-orange sauce. 1996 Saturn 4 dr 90K 2000 Polaris 325 Tra11 Boss. $3195. like new, $2.000. Call 7401993 Grandam 2 dr. 68K 256-1377 $2895.
