As in the example, your check for $16,000 would reduce to about S12,400 if you are in the 28 percent laX bracket and under age 59-112. 2) Or, you may have your lump sum rolled directly to an IRA Rollover account and not pay any raxes until you withdraw the money at retirement. In our example, the full $20,000 lump sum would roll into an IRA and continue to grow taxdeferred. Unfortunately, about 70 per~ ·cent of people receiving lump sum distributions do not roll them over to an IRA account. By not putting aside this money for their future, they not only lose a large portion of the money av:Ulabie to them, but they are reducing their chances for a financially ·secure retire. ment and losing out on an opportunity to accumulate funds tax-deferred - whic1• experts agree is the best way to save for retirement. An example: Jason and Whitney are both 40 years old and both are due to receive a $10,000 distribution Jfiom their company's retirement plan. Since Jason decides to use his money for a down payment on a Corvette he's aCirnired for years, he receives a check for $8,000 (the company is required to withhold 20 percent). After adjusting for his .tax lia- · bility (28 percent on the $10,000 of which 20 percent was already paid) plus an. early withdrawal penalty of I 0 percen\,Jason's final payment finm his retirement savings at work·is around $6,200. On the other hand, Whitney instructed ·her employer to clirectly roll her distribution of ;$10,000 into ·an · IRA. Since taxes are deferred, she is able to invest the entire amount. ·Assuming her money earns 8 percent annually, by the time Whitriey is 65 years old, her savings have grown to $68,485. Provided she continues to earn 8 percent annually; this nest egg will provide her a monthly income of $500 for-the-next 20 years. Even though $500 in today's dollars won't have the s;une buying power in 25 years, it still provides Whitney with a more comfortable retirement than Jason'~ Corvette. Why do many people let the IRS take almost half of their retirement savings? - Because many people do not clearly understand the consequences of' deciding to keep their retirement plan distribution instead of reinvesting into a Rollover IRA. The IRS _Fquires companies to provide employees with a written notice stating the amount of money available, the different alternatives and their tax consequences. Bymes Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, Qhlo • Point Pleasant,' Wv. Since the decision to be made can tremendously impact a person's future, the individual must carefully. read the information provided and understand it fully. Relying on an investment professional for assistance can help. A few more facrs about Rollover IRAs: I) If there is a possibility you may work for another employer someday that offers a similar retirement savings plan, you may want to keep your regular IRA and your Rollover IRA separate. That way, you preserve your ability to roll your distribution (your Rollover IRA) into a new company plan at a later date. 2) Any non-cash assets that are part of the distribution can be put directly into an IRA Rollover account. For example, if you receive shares of your employer's stock, you don't have to sell them in order to . put them into an IRA Rollover. 3) You may take distributions finm an IRA Rollover·account at any time. However, withdrawals before age 59-112 are subject to a premature distribution penalty aside finm a few exceptions (death, disability, periodic payments defined by the . IRS, certain medical and medical insurance expenses, and qualified college expen>os.). Your situation: The decision ·you are · about to make is going to have a huge impact on your future. Unlike winning the lottery; receiving a lump sum distribution from a retirement plan brings along with it definite rules and regulations. It is very important to take time and contemplate aU choices along with their ramifications. Begin by asking your- · self the. following: . 1) How much income will I need to retire comfortably? 2) Where will the income come finm? 3) Will I have to continue working after retirement? 4) What part of retirement income will other sources like Social Security cover? Since the rules and regulations governing retirement plans are complex and can fieque ly change, you should always discuss the situation with experienced investment and tax professionals. Your tax adviser can explain the latest IRS regulations regarding lump sum distributi6ns and the laX inferences of your choices. Just as important, however, is depending on an experienced retirement planning professional, someone who is trained · specifically in evaluating the current alternatives, assessing your unique situation, and suggesting ways to minimize taxes while maximizing return. By depending on the experts, you can be assured of making the correct decision. • (Mark Smith is an investment -exerntive with Sn1ith Partners al AdV<gt l•rc. in its Gallipolis office.)

Ohio Sen. Louis Blessing, a Republican from Cincinnati, and Kentucky R:ep.Jim Callahan, a Democrat from Wilder, will introduce bills in their state legislatures calling for creation of an Ohio/Kentucky Olympic Coordination Authority. "We are forming a partnership between the state of . Ohio and the commonwealth of Kentucky to bring the most_ prestigious sporting event in the world to the Midwest," Blessing said. "The Olympic Games would·showcase Ohio and Kentucky to the world, as well as provide incredible memories and · . experiences for our residents ." Blessing said the legislation wou.ld address the USOC's requirement that a state or local government provide oversight and a financial backstop for the Games. The legislation would take effect only if Cincinnati were chosen as the host city for the 2012 Games. "Hosting the Olympic Games in this part of America, with a significant number of events in some of Kentucky's great facil ities, is an opportunity we cannot miss," Callahan said. "This legislation, while it must go through the legislative process and provide for careful review and input, demonstrates · to the USOC an Olympic spirit that is unmatched in America." Eight metropolitan areas are bidding for the Games. Committee members already have visited Washington, D:C., Dallas and Houston. Visits to New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Tampa, Fla., w1ll follow. The committee will pick a U.S. bid city by October 2002.

Ohio Sen. Louis Blessing, a Republican from Cincinnati, and Kentucky R:ep.Jim Callahan, a Democrat from Wilder, will introduce bills in their state legislatures calling for creation of an Ohio/Kentucky Olympic Coordination Authority. "We are forming a partnership between the state of . Ohio and the commonwealth of Kentucky to bring the most_ prestigious sporting event in the world to the Midwest," Blessing said. "The Olympic Games would·showcase Ohio and Kentucky to the world, as well as provide incredible memories and · . experiences for our residents ." Blessing said the legislation wou.ld address the USOC's requirement that a state or local government provide oversight and a financial backstop for the Games. The legislation would take effect only if Cincinnati were chosen as the host city for the 2012 Games. "Hosting the Olympic Games in this part of America, with a significant number of events in some of Kentucky's great facil ities, is an opportunity we cannot miss," Callahan said. "This legislation, while it must go through the legislative process and provide for careful review and input, demonstrates · to the USOC an Olympic spirit that is unmatched in America." Eight metropolitan areas are bidding for the Games. Committee members already have visited Washington, D:C., Dallas and Houston. Visits to New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Tampa, Fla., w1ll follow. The committee will pick a U.S. bid city by October 2002.

Times-Picayune, New Orleans, on immigrants in U.S. prisons: If conditions had been better for lmmigratioti and Naturalization Service detainees, the U.S. Supreme Court might not have come to such a sweeping decisiop. The court ruled that the INS cannot keep immigrants in prison indefinitely when there is little.or no chance of deport• ing them. The ruling overturns a decision by' the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal on a case' filed by a man who had been detained in .Louisiana. It sets a maximum detention period of six months past the expiration of an immigrant's prison sentence, except in special circumstances. The ruling will force the immigration "gency to address an injustice that it has let fester for years. Hundreds of immigrants with cciminal re.cords have been imprisoned by the INS for years after their sentences expired, . !\~cause the agency cannot deport people whose home countri~ will not take them back .... With nothing to do, a legitimate grievance and no hope of • ever getting out, detainees ... have resorted to riots and hunger . strikes. .. . . . While the 5-4 ruling is sensible ... , its legal analysis has already come under some criticism. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy questions how the court majority came up with a six-month limit, because it isn't mentioned in .the relevant statute. He also points out that th e statute in question dearly gives btoad discretion to the Justtce Department, of which the INS is a branch, to detain immigrants who can't be deported. .. . - - TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, July 23, the 204th day of 2001.

LOCAL EVENTS HENTOFF'S VIEW Sterrz cell research qffors promise of new treatments The insistent advocates of embryonic stem cell research . are giving many Americans an offer they cannot imagine refusing. The stem cells from hurrmn embryos have the potential to turn into any kind of cell or tissue in the body. Therefore, as Joe Palca reported oil National Public Radio's "Morning Edition," these remarkably adaptable embryonic stem cells "might someday be used to replace nerve cells, heart cells or pancreas cells destroyed or damaged by disease." Such dread conditions as Alzheimer's, strokes or muscular dystrophy might, in time, be treated by these embryonic stem cells if enough federal research funds will be committed for this research. What has caused, however, intense controversy . about this use of human · embryos - even tho~ extra embryos fro~en in fertility clinics and likely to be destroyed - is illustrated by this definicion of an embryo from the 1989 edition of the "American Medical Association Encyclopedia. of Medicine": "From the time of conception until the eighth week, the developing baby is known as , an emb ryo. · al · ·fi Suc h tee h me sc1ent1 cnamesas bias - fo da £i £ .1 t t (th b octys ) e em ryto our,h ys adter erhtltza wn are no emp aSJZe m t at widely known medical reference book's definition.

' Or, as . Georgetown University bioethicist Patricia King, who is in favor of abortion rights, told the New York, Nat Hentoff COLUMNIST 1 As for the claim that discarded frozen embryos used in research would have otherwise been destroyed, Professor Prentice noted that "there are embryo adoption options -- the Snowflake program, for example, in California, and • others." And in a recent letter to President Bush, Representative Chris Smith and 13 other House members - as reported in the Wall Street Journal - asked the president to meet with three young chil- · dren that had been "kept in storage, as · frozen embryos, until they were adopted ·. by infertile couples." . . Moreover, as the Washington Post reported, research for an article in the prestigious journal Science showed that "embryonic stem cells are surprisingly unstable, at least in mice. If the same is true for human embryonic stem cells, · researchers said, then scientists may face unexpected challenges as they 'try to turn the controversial cells into treatments for various degenerative conditions." Part of that finding was deleted from the article in "Science" at the last ' minute, said theW:ashington Post, to .n ot-'give ammunition to opponents of embryonic stem cell research. Als. o,thewidelyrespectedJ'ournaiCell notes: "Several recent reports suggest that there is far more plasticity than previously believed in the developmental : potential of many different adult cell · es, Adul bo " • typ . t ne marrow ce 11s, IOf . example, "have tremendous differentia. . h . tlve capacity" as 1 ey can turn mto "cells of the l'v · her parts 0 f th e 1 er, Iung," an d ot body. Both scientific and ethical priorities require federal funding of adult stem cell · rese:uch that has such potential for the lives of all of us. Times: "I thinl the early embryo is not nothing. I don't think of it as just tissue." In 1996, the National Advisory Bioethics Commission recommended that federal funds be used for embryonic stem cell research, but the commission said clearly that federal funding is "justifiable only if no less morally problematic alternatives are available for advancing the reseaNh."• ,.

Times-Picayune, New Orleans, on immigrants in U.S. prisons: If conditions had been better for lmmigratioti and Naturalization Service detainees, the U.S. Supreme Court might not have come to such a sweeping decisiop. The court ruled that the INS cannot keep immigrants in prison indefinitely when there is little.or no chance of deport• ing them. The ruling overturns a decision by' the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal on a case' filed by a man who had been detained in .Louisiana. It sets a maximum detention period of six months past the expiration of an immigrant's prison sentence, except in special circumstances. The ruling will force the immigration "gency to address an injustice that it has let fester for years. Hundreds of immigrants with cciminal re.cords have been imprisoned by the INS for years after their sentences expired, . !\~cause the agency cannot deport people whose home countri~ will not take them back .... With nothing to do, a legitimate grievance and no hope of • ever getting out, detainees ... have resorted to riots and hunger . strikes. .. . . . While the 5-4 ruling is sensible ... , its legal analysis has already come under some criticism. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy questions how the court majority came up with a six-month limit, because it isn't mentioned in .the relevant statute. He also points out that th e statute in question dearly gives btoad discretion to the Justtce Department, of which the INS is a branch, to detain immigrants who can't be deported. .. . - - TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, July 23, the 204th day of 2001.

LOCAL EVENTS HENTOFF'S VIEW Sterrz cell research qffors promise of new treatments The insistent advocates of embryonic stem cell research . are giving many Americans an offer they cannot imagine refusing. The stem cells from hurrmn embryos have the potential to turn into any kind of cell or tissue in the body. Therefore, as Joe Palca reported oil National Public Radio's "Morning Edition," these remarkably adaptable embryonic stem cells "might someday be used to replace nerve cells, heart cells or pancreas cells destroyed or damaged by disease." Such dread conditions as Alzheimer's, strokes or muscular dystrophy might, in time, be treated by these embryonic stem cells if enough federal research funds will be committed for this research. What has caused, however, intense controversy . about this use of human · embryos - even tho~ extra embryos fro~en in fertility clinics and likely to be destroyed - is illustrated by this definicion of an embryo from the 1989 edition of the "American Medical Association Encyclopedia. of Medicine": "From the time of conception until the eighth week, the developing baby is known as , an emb ryo. · al · ·fi Suc h tee h me sc1ent1 cnamesas bias - fo da £i £ .1 t t (th b octys ) e em ryto our,h ys adter erhtltza wn are no emp aSJZe m t at widely known medical reference book's definition.

' Or, as . Georgetown University bioethicist Patricia King, who is in favor of abortion rights, told the New York, Nat Hentoff COLUMNIST 1 As for the claim that discarded frozen embryos used in research would have otherwise been destroyed, Professor Prentice noted that "there are embryo adoption options -- the Snowflake program, for example, in California, and • others." And in a recent letter to President Bush, Representative Chris Smith and 13 other House members - as reported in the Wall Street Journal - asked the president to meet with three young chil- · dren that had been "kept in storage, as · frozen embryos, until they were adopted ·. by infertile couples." . . Moreover, as the Washington Post reported, research for an article in the prestigious journal Science showed that "embryonic stem cells are surprisingly unstable, at least in mice. If the same is true for human embryonic stem cells, · researchers said, then scientists may face unexpected challenges as they 'try to turn the controversial cells into treatments for various degenerative conditions." Part of that finding was deleted from the article in "Science" at the last ' minute, said theW:ashington Post, to .n ot-'give ammunition to opponents of embryonic stem cell research. Als. o,thewidelyrespectedJ'ournaiCell notes: "Several recent reports suggest that there is far more plasticity than previously believed in the developmental : potential of many different adult cell · es, Adul bo " • typ . t ne marrow ce 11s, IOf . example, "have tremendous differentia. . h . tlve capacity" as 1 ey can turn mto "cells of the l'v · her parts 0 f th e 1 er, Iung," an d ot body. Both scientific and ethical priorities require federal funding of adult stem cell · rese:uch that has such potential for the lives of all of us. Times: "I thinl the early embryo is not nothing. I don't think of it as just tissue." In 1996, the National Advisory Bioethics Commission recommended that federal funds be used for embryonic stem cell research, but the commission said clearly that federal funding is "justifiable only if no less morally problematic alternatives are available for advancing the reseaNh."• ,.
