Hill f;:ontroller-lnterim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor ' GUEST VIEW Aging Health care workers - Wtll there · be enough? Imagine taking your mother to the emergency room after a fall and being told the ER is closed weekends and she'll have to go to another hospital across town. There, the doctors says she needs an operation, but he won 't be able to do it for nine months to a year because the hospital's operating department is short-swffed. So, you seek out a nursing home to care for Mom until her surgery and see many empty beds, but the staff tells you they can 't admit her for three months because they are only able to run at 60-percent capacity. As a last resort, you look into home C';lfe options for Mom and told she may have to wait up to six months for a home aide io become available. Frustrated, you quit your job tb car for your mother until and undoubtedly, after - her surgery. Is this example extreme? Perhaps a little, but it is a reality that looms near in the future if we, as a nation, do not act now to curtail a system-wide shortage of health-care workers - a shortage that can , and will , affect us all. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2010, . the nation will need 5.3 million more (health care) workers than it has today. Three million of these are positions that will be created to meet new demands. Unfortunately, we.will lack the qualified medical personnel to fill these positions. Actually, the workforce shortage isn't coming . It's here now. Nationally, there are about ·100,000 vacant nursing positions, and · that number is expected to grow to more than 400,000 by 2020. Each year, fewer new nurses enter the field than leave it. In ten years, more than 40 percent of the nurses will be age 50 or older. Similarly, a 2003 survey of drug store chains revealed 5,500 vacant pharmacist positions nationwide. Hospitals are short about 2,800 pharmacists. While the nursing and pharmacy fields will be among the hardest hit, there will also be acute shortages in radio logy, clinical lab science, occupational and physical therapy and health aides . There is hope: Ohio is one of many states taking proactive steps to head off this crisis. I am proud to lead the Ohio Health Care Workforce Advisory Council, which represents an array of ·health care or~ani z ation s and communicates to Gov. Bob Taft's Workforce Advisory Board the extent of the workforce shortage and specific approaches to resolve problems. In November, the Ohio Board of Nursing launched a statewide campaign 'Nursing, It 's About You.' That agency's Web site, www.nursingrewards.com, provides employment and training resources for folks considering a career in nursing, as well as personal profiles of many Ohioans who have chosen this challenging and rewarding occupation. Nationally, Congress has started addressing the workforce shortage . In 2002 , Pre sident Bush signed the Nurse Reinvestment Act, which provides funding for scholarship and lo~n repayment programs, among other benefits, to nurses. Related legislation to provide loan forgi ve ness for nurses and pharmacists have stalled, however. Contact your Congressperson to learn more about pending legislation and to voice your opinion .

PageA4 O PINION Thursday, December 4, 2oo3 •• Bush should tell world he's' changed President Bush doesn't practice 'unilatcralism' in foreign policy anymore, as U.S . actions on Iran's nuclear program demonstrate, but to silence his critics Bush needs to be more explicit that he's changed course. During his trip to London last month, Bush declared himself dedicated to 'effecti ve multilateralism' and ide ntified reliance on international organizations and collective security as two of the 'three pillars' of his foreign policy. . And, last week, hi s diplomats worked hard in Vienna to negotiate a compromise international stand to get Iran's nuclear program under control. Yet Democrats and forei gners, especially Europeans, keep accusing Bush of 'going it alone' in foreign affairs and of acting 'arrogantly ... like a cowboy.' It's impossible for him to entirely erase that impression, but it would help if Bush declared that there has been a change in his attitude, that he understands why other countries don't trust him and that he really is dedicated to working in concert with them as much as possible. Particularly, such a confession - it needn't be an apology - might help Bush persuade other countries t~at they should contribute troops and money to the struggle against despotism and militant Islain now being waged in Iraq, largely by U.S. forces. It's vital that the entire civilized world understand the stakes involved in Iraq, where a failure to produce stability and self-government will lead to chaos all over the Middle we will defeat rnem.' He said that "the peace and security of free nations now rest on three pillars,' the first of which is 'international organizations must be equal to the challenges facing our world, from lifting up faili ng states to opposing proliferation.' . The second pi llar 'is the willingness of free nations. when the la~ t resort arrives, to restrain'-aggression and evil by force' and the third, 'our commitment to the global expansion of democracy.' For Bush to name international organ izations - not the use of force -as his first pillar flies in the face of the Democratic and European caricature of him. And, in a joint statement with Britis h Prime Minister Tony Blair on Nov. 20, Bush declared that 'effective multilateralism, and neither unilateralis m nor international paralysis, wi ll guide our approach.' On i<> th days, Bush referred to Iran and North Korea as cases in point of his dedication to collecti ve action. And, while he was in London , Secretary of State Colin Powell and Undersecretary of State John Bolton were in Brussels urging European foreign ministers to be tough with Iran at the subsequent . gathering of the International Atomic Energy Agency. In October, the IAEA reported that for 18 years Iran has been systematically deceiving the world about the extent of its nuclear program - including experiments with both plutonium and highly enriched uranium - but found 'no ev idence' that Iran was intent on developing nuclear weapons. Moreove r, prior to U.S. Morton Kondracke East and terrorism all over the globe. Bush needs to employ every possible persuasive de'vice he can because, as the latest attacks on Spanish and Japanese personnel denionstrate, the forces of darkness in Iraq are determined to dri ve foreigners out and isolate the United States. What Bush said in London, eloquentl y and idealisti cally, and how the United States has been interacting with Iran (and also North Korea) imply a change in course that something - evidently, pride makes it difficult for Bush to lay out explicitly. In his Nov. 19 speech at Whitehall Palace, Bush simultaneously echoed Winston Churchill and Woodrow Wilson as he attempted to rally the world to the cause of defeating international ierrorism and fostering democracy in the Middle East. Bush declared that 'the greatest threat of our age is nuclear, chemical and bio'logical weapons in the hands of terrorists and the dictators who aid them. The evil is in plain sight. The danger only increases with denial. Great responsibilities fall once again to the great democracies. We will face these threats with open eyes. and Thursday, December 4, 2003 Obituaries Susan Gillilan intervention, France, Germany and Britain were prepareu to issue on ly the mildest criticisrn of Iran - noting its 'failures td. meet safeguards obligations',. - and threaten nu co nse', quences whatever if Iran con;. tmued blocking full inspections. · ' IAEA and European behav' ior toward Iran were just the sort of dangerous Iap-es Bus)i' referred to . in his Whitehair speech. . The United Nations. parent'. body of the IAEA. wits in dan:· ger of ·solemnly choosing its own irrelevance' by meetin~ world threats 'with reso lutions' rather than 'resolve.' .. And Europe. 8 us h said. has become so used to peace and' quiet in the last half cemury that it's forgotten that fo re~. was required to achieve that condition and that. beyond·· Europe's borders. 'oppression and violence are very real.' · When the IAEA board gathered in Vienna, the United: States successfully argued foP - and won - a reso lution that 'strongly deplores lran't l)ast failures' to di sclose i t~ nuclear acti viti e~ and warns of. unspecified 'action' if there are furth er 'breaches.· -' The IAEA's statement was weaker than the Uni ted States wanteu, but mu ltilateral nego:· tiation sets the' stage for possi", ble sanctions if Iran refuses tO' open itself to full inspections.. The bottom li ne is that, contrary to what Bush's critics say, his administration i.s wo r k in ~ multilaterall y. l t might h el ~ Bush get more conpcrution if he'd just say 'I've changcu my' ani tude.'

'"We feel like we· re a team that can really smother teams defensively,"" Hewitt said. "We· ve got a number of guys who can lluard multiple postttons. We ve been causing people to tum the ball over pretty well in these first six games." It was Ohio State's worst loss in its six years in Value City Arena, where the Buckeyes came in witb a 69-13 record, includmg 13-3 against ranked opponents. "We couldn't guard them on the perimeter,"' Ohio State coach Jim O'Brien said. "When we wanted a stop, we couldn't do it." 73 53 P111H - Bllckeyu, ll �All eyes on the quarterbacks in MAC championship game BY J OHN SEEWER Associated Press BOWLING GREEN How do yo u stop two yuane bac l(s who have been unstoppable all season'' No. 14 Miami of Ohio and No . 20 Bowling Gree n wil l try to find a way when they meet in a Mid -Ame ri ca n Conference championship game on Thursday. Both ha ve two of the nati on's most explosive quar· terbacks. Miami's Ben Roethlisberger ts a class ic thrower who ha' passed for 3,670 yards and 29 touchdowns this season. He 's just the fift h quarterbac k in MAC history to surpass I 0.000 career pass ing yards. and he's only a ju nior.

'' He's an exceptional runner and a verv ~oo d thrower... Roet hlisberger\a id "You can te ll that offense is bu ilt arou nd him." Mi ami ( Il - L R-0 MAC) is one of the few teams to have success this seaso n aga inst Harris. the son of M.L. Harris. who played I0 years in the NFL. The Rcd Hawks came at Harris wit h lots of pressure and forced hi m into three fum hles in a .H - 10 victory at Miami four weeh ago. It was easily the wo rst out ing of the year for Harri s and the Falcons (I 0-2. 7- 1). "Josh will be the first to tel l you that he wasn't rea l s h a rp ~" said Bow li ng G ree n coach Gregg Bra mlon. "He missed some ope n guys that we e"pl oited all season." He sai d that this time the offensive line will need to do a better job of protec tin g their qu arterback. "We did have guys open. but they did a good job mixing thi ngs up o n us," Bran don sa id. Red Haw ks coac l1 Te rry Hoe ppner gave credit to hi s defense . "They were all forced errors:· he sa id. "They were n' t se lf- infl ic ted wo unds.

"We· re goin g to have to m ake sure th ut we score a Jot o f poi nts and score them earl y." Roe thli sberge r said. Hoepp ner said Roethli sbe rge r has become much better thi s year at understandin g the offense and is more confi den t in changin g plays at the line of \C nmm age. " He checks o il a lot,'' Hoep pne r said. " There 's a lot of times we' re standin g on th e sidel ines trying to figure ou t what pl ay he's chec king. We 're as imerested as the Buckeyes from Page 81 Elder finished with 18 points, Lewis had 15 and Jarrett Jack 14 for the Yellow Jackets (60), who matched their best start since 1994-95 . Georgia Tech won the Preseason NIT last week, along the way pounding No. I Connecticut 77-61 and Texas Tech 85-65. The Yellow Jackets have four players averaging in double figures, provtding untold problems for opponents intent on clamping down on a particu lar player. "That's the way the game should be played," Hewitt said of his team's many weapons on offense. With a laugh, he added, "Of course. when you have balanced scoring and you win, ~uys credit you. When you have balanced sconng and you lose, somebody 's not ge tt ing enough shots." The Yellow Jackets' win was the tifth in six games for the ACC in the challenge. Georgia Tech came in hav ing won just one of four games in the annual head-to-head meetings with the Big Ten, wh ile Ohio State was 1-1. Ricardo Billi ngs and Veli mir Rad inovic each scored 12 points and J. J. Sullinger added 10 for Ohio State (2-3). "The th ing that's dist urbing to me, and I take full responsi bility for th is, is we look like a team that has not been coached a day," said O' Brien, who has been reduced to whispering fo r the fi rst two month s of the season because of vocal-cord damage sustained duri ng neck surgery. "That's what's most embarrassi ng to me with where we are right now. Th is was our first home game and I got the sense we were not excited to be playi ng. I don' t und~rstand Kitna from Page 81 wha t's go ing to happen next. " Roethli sberger spreads the back.' and kick him to the ball around - 17 Red Haw ks curb,'' Lewis said.

The club has interviewed four candidates for the job, which it originall y hoped to fill before Thanksgiving. General manager Dan O'Brien said Tuesday that no ot her candidates are being considered. Interim manager Dave Miley, former White Sox manager Jerry Manuel, Pittsburgh player development director Brian Graham and Tampa Bay coach John McLaren were inter· viewed last month. O'Brien said there are no plans for a second round of interviews. "Granted, we' re being very deliberate, but that's with the ex press purpose of trying to make the right decision ," 0' Brien said. "We're trying to be as thorough as we can." The decision isn' t entirely up to 0 ' Brien, who was r ired on Oct. .27. Chief operating officer John Allen and owne r Carl Lindner also are involved in picking the manager who will take over a team In transition. The Reds moved Great into American Ball Park last season but fared so poorly that manager Bob Boone and general manager Jim Bowden were fired on July 28. The club then went on a payrollslashing spree, trading its top veterans to other teams for pitching prospects. Lindner is expected to cut the payroll significantly for · next season, limiting what O' Brien can do in his first j6b as a general manager. Miley was considered the front-r unner based upon his 24 years of experience in the organization: He got the interim managi ng job - his first chance to run a major league team - after Boone was fired. The Reds went 22-35 under Miley, who had to deal with a team in nux because of the flurry of trades. O' Brien wants to have a man~ger picked before baseball's winter meetings Dec. 12- 15 in New Orleans. The club has its annual fan festival this weekend . Source: Red Sox to hire Terry Francona as manager BOSTON (AP) - Terry Francona will be hired as Boston' s new manager, a source told The Associated Press, reuniting pitcher Curt Schilling with his former boss in a push to bring the Red Sox their first World Series title since 1918. The Red Sox scheduled a Thursday new ~ conference at which they will announce Francona 's hiring, a baseball source said Wednesday on the condition of anonymity. Francona, · 44 , · managed Philadelphia through four losing seasons from 1997-2000 · when the Phi!lies were a young team trying to rebuild. Francona will be under pressure to win immediately Ill Boston, where Grady Little ·averaged 94 wins over two seasons but was let go after the team collapsed in the seventh game of the AL champi- onship series. · The Red Sox also interviewed Los Angeles thirdbase coach Glenn Hoffman, Anaheim bench coach Joe Maddon .and Texas first-base coach DeMario Hale . But Francona was established as an early front -runner, and hi s hiring was delayed only by the team's pursuit of Sch illing, acquired last week in a trade with Arizona. The Red Sox traded four players for Schilling last week, but the deal was held up while they negotiated a contract extension with the 37-year-old pitcher to ge t him to waive his no-trade clause. They agreed Friday to a deal th<tt will pay him $37.5 million over the next three years, wi th an option for a fourth . Schilling said one incentive for him to sign in Boston was word that Francona was "a slam dunk" {O be the new manager. Even so, he made it. clear that he did not make Francona's hiring a condition of the deal, nor did the Red Sox promise it. Under Little, the Red Sox made the playoffs last season for the first time since 1999. They came back from a 2-0 deficit against Oakland, winning three in a row to take the best-of-fiv e, first-round series and play the New York Yankees for the right to go to the World Series. Boston led New York 5-2 in the seventh inning of the decisive seventh game, but Little opted to go with tiring ace Pedro Martinez instead of a recently rehabilitated bullpen . Martine z blew the lead, the Yankees won 6-5 on Aaron Boone's lith-inning homer off Tim Wakefield and Little was let go after the season. Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO · - Barry Bonds weighed 1.85 pounds as a rookie in 1986, when he was a slender leadoff hitter known more for stealing bases than hitting homers. Now he's a muscle-bound 230 pounds, a six-time National League MVP who holds the season record for home runs and is gaining on Hank Aaron ·s career mark. Bonds say' his increased strength comes from intense weight training, a proper diet and nut ritional supplements from companies such. as the Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative, or BALCO. ~ Still, when Bonds testifies Thursday in a probe focusing on possible tax and drug violations by BALCO, the grand jurors and fans across the country might wonder whether his muscular development has been entirely natural. Bonds, 39. repeatedl y has denied using steroids and arg ues that his evolution as a home run hitter has been steady. "Go look at the back of my bubble gum card," he said after winning a third straight MVP award last month . "My numbers are consistent ." Except for 1989, Bonds has hit at !east 24 homers in eac h of his 17 full seasons. The only dramatic jump came in 200 1, when hi s record 73 homers marked the only time he topped 50. On the other hand. four of Bonds' fi ve biggest homer totals came in the last four seasons - ,all atier his 35th birthday. Bonds will be the bi ggest name to appe,ar before the grand jury. Athletes from four sports - football, baseball, swi mm ing , and track and field already have appeared. That includes track star Marion Jones and her boyfriend , 100meter world r~cord-holder Tim Montgomery, KEEPING MEIGS COUNTY INFORMED THE DAILY SENTINEL ' VISIT US AT:WWW.MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM "' r Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio .)H tT:\TS • \ 'ol. :;~ . :'\o. ~''l AT DISCOUNT PRICES!

The ord inance sets a time frame of 90 days wit h which the property owner is to take action to begin improving or demolishing the property. Young said that demolishing thi s house is important because it helps clean up the vi llage and he wishes more could be done with other abandoned property in the vi ll age. Most abandoned hori1es are not able to be purchased by the city or county because in most cases ow ners hip is hard to determine and the cost is prohibitive.

The Twins also .gel a player to be named. Milton, who won 41 games from 2000-02, started just three games last season after having surgery on his left knee during spring training. A former first-round 'pick of the New ~York Yankees in 1996, Milton was an All-Star in 200 I when he went 15-7 with a 4.32 ERA He also pitched a no-hitter in 1999.

Bonds became a BALCO client just before his record-setting 200 I season and has praised Conte for giving him a personalized nutritional program . Bonds posed with Conte a~d Anderson for the June issue of Muscle & Fttness magazme and heaped praise on both . •·J vistt BALCO every three to six months.

Bonds brought Anderson, a childhood friend , on a niajor leaguers' tour of Japan after the 2002 season, when the trainer met players such as Jason Giambi - who also has been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury. · Anderson's home was raided by ihe Internal Revenue Service and a drug task force Sept. 5. two days after a similar raid at BALCO. Anderson's attorney, Bill Rapoport, said' computer files and other things "that were not paper" were among items taken in the raid. But Rapoport said he does not' know speci fi cally what was taken and said Anderson's only connection to BALCO was when he purchased vitamins from Conte to give to athletes he trained. r l . .JrJ~ Memorial keepsake ornaments, to honor a special loved one, are available at Holzer Hospice this holiday season.
