(AP) - A state mental hospital has been sued by six workers who say a policy barring employees from talking to the media violates the state's whistleblower law. The lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Huntington, alleged that the policy has prevented the workers from speaking out about staffing and funding problems at Mildred MitchellBateman Hospital. It asks the court to strike down the policy. DHHR employees from calling reporters, said agency spokesman John Law. · · Law said the policy protects patient · confidentiality, and that no worker has been punished for speaking to the media about DHHR problems. "It's not intended to muzzle anyone," he said. . Hospital Chief Executive Officer Larry Ventura would not comment on the lawsuit. "All we want to do is to work in peace in harmony, not fear for our jobs when we speak out," said Todd Jenkins, a nurse and one of the plaintiffs. The hospital, located in Huntington, treats patients with mental health and substance abuse problems.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A former Ohio Turnpike Commission lobbyist was put on probation for two years on Friday for billing a state pension fund $ I 0,940 for mileage expenses even though he was driving a state car. ''I'm sorry it ever happened." Patrick Patton. 62, told Judge Richard Sheward of Franklin County Common Pleas Court. · Patton received the money for driving from his home in Cleveland to Columbus to attend meetings as a trustee of the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund Board. The reimbursements covered I997 into 2002. Patton should have given the money to the turnpike commission or not billed the pension fund since he was using a state car, said David Buchman, director of the eco. nomic crime unit for the county prosecutor's office. Patton pleaded guilty Oct. 24 to theft in office and tampering with records. The theft charge carried a maximum five years in prison and the tampering charge up to a year. Patton finished repaying the money on Friday. "He served the public for many years without a blemish on his record," said his attorney, H. Ritchey Hollenbaugh. Hollenbaugh said Patton never tried to hide the money and reported it annually on . state ethics forms. He said Patton did not realize at the time that it was inappropriate to take the money.

Sure, I'm reflextvely pulling for club president Willi am Johnson, rather exotically known as "Hootie," to hold the line. I wish Hootie continued strength of stomach to with· stand the femini st aqack on himself and his beleaguered band of brogue-wearing brothers. The sanctity of the all-male club is not only of great import to the p.oor dears, it's a point of high principle to those who prize liberties great and small. Even so, the right of 300 high and mighty men to · enjoy their putting in privacy (sans women) tends to get lost when the whole world is smolderin g, bursting and imploding in jihad. 1l1en came the truly outrageous girl talk. As one National Organization for Women spokesperson put it, Hootie must "act in a civili zed manner and not . exclude 51 percent of the population" from the club. Fifty-one percent of the population may sound like rather a lot of new members, but that's not the outrageous bit. Should Hootie Williams fail to ad mit a single female personage to hi s club, protests are coming to A ugusta. And not just protests. but P~otes t Burqas. According to the Associated Press( some number of American women may actually take to .Augusta's velvety greens dur~ ing next spring's Masters - tournament wearing "Afghan -style burqas colored ~ reen to mock Masters cham piom ' . fabled green jackets." · With this fai ntly nauseating visual 111 mind, we ente r the . realm of the grotesque: extravagimt!Y. privileged American women equating their "plight" - not ~offing with Hootie - (the "plight," mcidentally, of prac tically every American man) with that of the systematically degraded burqa-wearing women of the Islamic world. Thanks to obsessive coverage by The New York Times, which has pumped up )he · Augusta story to Macy 's parade-float proportions, Augu:;ta-inspired righteo usness now lills the air: high-toned talk of ri ghts denied, "moral reprehensibility" of the oppressor (Hootiery), and ringing calfs about "the right thing to do." (This last, the newspaper intoned , should include nothing less than a boycott of the Masters by reigni ng champ Ti ger Woods.) · Perhaps improbably, the gassy the~trics of Augusta's feminist claque comes to mi nd when a real,Jife story of women's rights denied and mora l reprehensibili ty (and worse) emerges. I refer to the October abduction of a you ng Coptic Christian woman named Dimian a Murad Nas hid by a Muslim man from the university she attended · in Omdurman. Sudan. According to a November aniclc in Khart\)um's A I - Wat~n news paper, reports frdm Nashid's father to the Center fur Religious Fryedomlat Freedom House in Washington. D,C., and accounts by , American offi cial s in Khartoum. Dim iuna has been ·rurcibly conve11ed to Islam, forcibl y married to a Musli m stranger, and barred fro m seeing her family again - all with the apparent com· plicity of the Sudimese gove rnment . ! < " Sen. sa·m Bniwnback, R-Kan ., is, strongly interested in Nashid's fate. In a~ fetter to the Sudane·se ambassador, Mr:' Brownback recounted, among other~ things, the shocking reasons given for the ' famil y rupture: "The imams ... advised' that Dimiana's famil y has no right to ever see her again because they are Christian and she is now legally a Muslim. Her1 father was previously advised that · his1 . chances of. seeing his daughter again ~ would be better if he converted to Islam."'

We work hard for everything we have and enjoy a wonderful life. My problem is my motherin-law, "Blanche." Gil le3r11ed of her drug habit at an early age, and he never had a "nortnal" childhoOd. Now that he's an adult, nothing has changed. In the past three years, Blanche has overdosed twice that we know of and can't hold a job because she has stolen from every place she has worked. Last Cb.ristJ;nas while she was visiting US , she had the nerve to steal l 4 prescription pairi killers from our medicine Cabinet. Blanche also owes us about $2,000. The last time she was here, she wrote Gil a check so she'd have money for the flight home - then stopped payment on it, causing our account lo be overdrawn. When our son was- 14 months old, he found a loaded gun under his grandmother's couch! Thankfully, I was there. Needless to say, our child is not allowed to visit her without me, and Gil is in full agreement. However, I would like Gil to sever all ties with his mother before she hurts our family again. Gil is a loving man with a big heart. Despite all the pain his mother has caused him, he still loves her: Blanche feeds off that and always worms her way back into his life. Abby, is it wrong of me to want my husbartd to permanently cut his mother out of his life? ANONYMOUS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, NORFOLK, • Den Dickerson \lA. .

I am guessing it would be the defenders, prima~ily because opentng leads would be more effective. Assume thi s deal. which , occurred nearly 50 years ago, was played wi.th a glass deck. The contract is two hearts by South. Who wins, the declarer or the defenders? Despite the unfa· vorable vulnerability, one would expect West · to rebid two diamonds. However, then North ' s tWO" heart raise would be clear-cut, instead of a fractional overbid . (South's one ~eart promised 0-8 points. For North to re.bid unasked, he ·should be saying that if partner has seven or eight points, game will be on .) . Helen Sobel (West) led lhe diamond king: five , nine, four. She cashed the diamond ace: queen, two, seven. Then she con· tinned with the diamondjack. ·Knowing that Char· les Goren (East) was ready to overruff the dummy , declarer dis· carded the club two from the board. Goren signaled with the club seven. · The club jack is surely · clearer, but Sobel got the message and found the only play to defeat the contract. She led the club nine. Goren won with his kihg and returned a club to Sobel ' s ace. Now a fourth diamond ruffed with the heart I 0 effected an uppercut. The defenders scored one heart, · three diamonds and two clubs. That was a brilliant defense. However, if South had known the layout, he would have ruffed the third diamond high, drawn two rounds of trumps, and played on spades to get home.

GREAT BEND, Ohio - While a dedicalion ceremony for the complelion of the firsl . phase of the Ravenswood Connector was canceled due lo last week's severe wealher, the six-mile section· of new highway is now open to iraffic. The first phase begins at the William S. R1tchie Bridge and ends at County Road 36 (Portland). It is one of three phases of the new highway, designed to connect the bridge with U.S. Route 33. It is also one of five major projects making up a new U.S. 33 corridor. The $52 million, three-phase Ravenswood project will provide 15 miles of new highway from Ravenswood, W.Va., 10 Five Points, near Pomeroy. Ohio Department of Transportation District I0 Deputy Director George M. Collins said Friday travelers should be especially cautious when driving on the new stretch of highway. because traffic patterns have changed. · .

AS Advocacy • group w1ns incorporation from Ohio A Gallipolis Christmas BY KEVIN KEUY News editor GALLIPOLIS, Ohio Southeast Ohio Advocates for Recovery is now incorporated in · Ohio, taking the group formed earlier this year to respond to drug addiction problems in the area to its next step- tax-exempt slatus. Dennis Johnson, SOAR's president, said articles of incorporation have been approved by th~ . Ohio secretary of state. Obtaining the tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service can clear the way for SOAR to begin accepting donations to meet its ·-goals, he added . -11' ... The group's immediate target i\s establishment of a residential treatment facility for recovering substance abuse victims. · "Again, this treatment facility is going to be a. reality. It will happen," said Johnson. Originally formed in response to growing concerns and incidents surrounding abuse of the painkiller OxyContin, SOAR broadened its scope to include all forms of drug or alcohol abuse. Johnson said the group recognized that OxyContin is the drug of choice for abuse now, btit others will take its place in time. The group's treatment committee recommended last summer that an immediate step toward resolving problems is to create the treatment facility, a residence for those abusing drugs or alcohol during their treatment phase until they are . ready to rejoin society. . The residence is based on a similar operation in Sidney, where residents undergo treatment from local services, maintain employment and contribute to the house 's operation. . The Sidney model, founded by former Athens nighlclub owner I van Faske, also makes contributions to the community with service projects. SOAR is now scouting potential sites for the house in the .Gallipoiis area. Johnson could not discuss which sites are being considered. With incorporation in hand, the tax-exempt staIns will be researched by SOAR's treasurer, Todd .Johnson. . T he "'§r~ - ~~-- of . .
