Standing before the ashes of death camp victims in Israel's Yad Vashem memorial, the pontiff not only paid homage to the 6 mil• lion Jews who, in his~rds.

"It is plain !hat Congress has not given the FDA authority it seeks to exercise hpcre." : The authority the agency sought to exercise in this case was a crackdown on cigarette sales to minors. Although all 50 states already ban' sales of tobacco products to anycine under 18, the FDA in I 996 adopted the age minimum as a federal law, r.equired storeS to demand photo identification fiom all buyers under age 27 and limited vend• log-machine cigarette sales to adults-only locations, such as bars.

" . . . : The legallynchpin in all this lies within a law passed by the Con~ · gress in 1938.That 'law, likely a sop to the industry, forbad the federal . government from regulating tobacco as long as cigarette manufacturers didn't claim that smoking p!O"ided health benefits. · So now it's up to Con!!!"'! to gi~ the FDA authority - as it should - to regulate the deli~ry of this addictive, unhealthy product.

Casby "Skip" Meadows m · Bidwell R:USHER'S VIEW: Will the Buchanan vote ~ave impact OIJ Bush? It is generally agreed a!llong political observers that the 19 percent of the popular vote that Ross Perot carried in 1992 was decisive in defeating George Bush and putting Bill ·Clinton in the White House. ' And it is arguable, though far less certain, that Perot's 8-percent score when he ran again in 1996 doomed the candidacy of Bob 'Dole. So there is naturally a lively interest in how badly Pat Buchanan will hurt George W. Bush. · The answer to tha~ depends on the way Buchanan shapes his candidacy: what issues he stresses, and what voting blocs he seeks to appeal to: The good news, for Republicans, is that Buchanan's own self-interest will dri~ him in directions that substantially diminish the damage he will do to rhe Bush candidacy. . Bear in mind that, however many votes Buchanan gets, not all .of them would otherwise to Bush. Sori1e probably minor fraction of them would prefer Gore to Bu , if they were not lured away by Buchanan f, there(ore, Buchanan carries 9 percent of th _ opular vote, the net damage he will do t us will be the uld otherWise fraction of that 9 percent t have voted for Bush, min " e ' fraction that .

And, while 3 pc! !<n of the electorate isstill a lot of votes, it is t nearly as·ln:ln}' as 9 percent. The question·then hecbmes:What 'YQters will Buchanan make his biggest effort. to appeal to? Don't assume that a lingering aflection for the \GOP will prompt Buchanan to concentnte on luring voters.away fiom Gore. People who have go fur Cabell schools l•y off over 70 each trip. I shared the hospital with a number of people that were in much worse condition than I. Some had to drive long distances three or four times each week just to stay alive. Many had been doing this for years ahd due to blood types and lack of orgalis for donation were · .looking at a very long liaul of continued treatment. ' l cannot express my thanks and gratitude to my family, friends and those individuals and families that choose to become donon. I hope that no family has. to suffer the tragic loss of a loved one, but encourage each of you to look into yoU. heart and soul and become a donor. I feel a part of my donor lives within, me and I hope that I can honor them by striving to -continue the cfl'ort with organ donations and other health issues.

Rusher NEA CQLI:JMNIST debates. Buchanan is a formidable debater, artd could well impress many voters more favorably than either Bosh or Gore. . · · ·But, to reach 20 percent or anything near it, Buchanan cannot afford simply to appeal ro conservative Republicans: anti-abortion fanatics and the like. His most resonant issue this year· has been his staunch opposition to "free trade" ·in all its manifestations: NAFtA, the Worfd Trade Organization, etc. And on this issue he is squarely opposed, qot only to Bush, but tO Gote, who has.been forced to support free tra~ (as Clinton does) despite the bitter .opposition of the big unions that have endoned him. Indeed, there are far moi-e impassioned :mtifi:ee tracle vot.ers in the Democratic party than in the GOP: lnillions, of union workers who {ear that the globalization of the eco'!o;.,~ will leave them unable to compete with cheap Asi!in !abor.

"It is plain !hat Congress has not given the FDA authority it seeks to exercise hpcre." : The authority the agency sought to exercise in this case was a crackdown on cigarette sales to minors. Although all 50 states already ban' sales of tobacco products to anycine under 18, the FDA in I 996 adopted the age minimum as a federal law, r.equired storeS to demand photo identification fiom all buyers under age 27 and limited vend• log-machine cigarette sales to adults-only locations, such as bars.

Casby "Skip" Meadows m · Bidwell R:USHER'S VIEW: Will the Buchanan vote ~ave impact OIJ Bush? It is generally agreed a!llong political observers that the 19 percent of the popular vote that Ross Perot carried in 1992 was decisive in defeating George Bush and putting Bill ·Clinton in the White House. ' And it is arguable, though far less certain, that Perot's 8-percent score when he ran again in 1996 doomed the candidacy of Bob 'Dole. So there is naturally a lively interest in how badly Pat Buchanan will hurt George W. Bush. · The answer to tha~ depends on the way Buchanan shapes his candidacy: what issues he stresses, and what voting blocs he seeks to appeal to: The good news, for Republicans, is that Buchanan's own self-interest will dri~ him in directions that substantially diminish the damage he will do to rhe Bush candidacy. . Bear in mind that, however many votes Buchanan gets, not all .of them would otherwise to Bush.

And, while 3 pc! !<n of the electorate isstill a lot of votes, it is t nearly as·ln:ln}' as 9 percent. The question·then hecbmes:What 'YQters will Buchanan make his biggest effort. to appeal to?

' l cannot express my thanks and gratitude to my family, friends and those individuals and families that choose to become donon.

Buchanan is a formidable debater, artd could well impress many voters more favorably than either Bosh or Gore. . · · ·But, to reach 20 percent or anything near it, Buchanan cannot afford simply to appeal ro conservative Republicans: anti-abortion fanatics and the like. His most resonant issue this year· has been his staunch opposition to "free trade" ·in all its manifestations: NAFtA, the Worfd Trade Organization, etc. And on this issue he is squarely opposed, qot only to Bush, but tO Gote, who has.been forced to support free tra~ (as Clinton does) despite the bitter .opposition of the big unions that have endoned him.

The highway, also known as U.S. Route 33, will be built in nine sections ranging from 5.5 to 16.5 miles at a cost of $1.3 billion.

Rutgers did what it had to do against Tennessee, which was pin the Lady Vols in a halfcourt. game with its pes~y defense and patience on offense. For it was much too late. Led by Wolters, Lobo and Rizzotti, UConn's 1995 team was 35-0 ·and beat Tennessee for the national title. This year, the only blemish on the Huskies' record was a 72-71 loss to Tennessee on Feb. 2. They'll get a chance to avenge that one, as well as' losses to the Lady Vols in the '96 national semifi.nals and '.97 regional final. · . UConr1 built a 12-poim lead in the first half by pushing the tempo .and feeding off Bird's 3-point shooting.

Bird then fed Asjha Jones for a breakout layup that made it 3725 with a minute left. Penn State cut it to 37-28 at halftime on Garner's 3-pointer. Even with Abrosimova missing six of nfrie shots and Cash going scoreless, the Huskies were in good shape. BY DAVE HARRIS the longest tiJ;ne, Tennessee couldn't find an open spot anywh<'re.

Michelle Snow added 10 points and blocked seven shots; a Final Four record.

"It was just an off night for ·me," Darling said. "There was nothing I could do about it but continue to play hard. I think that's what I did, try to pick it up defensively and create some turnovers.

Rutgers did what it had to do against Tennessee, which was pin the Lady Vols in a halfcourt. game with its pes~y defense and patience on offense. For it was much too late. Led by Wolters, Lobo and Rizzotti, UConn's 1995 team was 35-0 ·and beat Tennessee for the national title. This year, the only blemish on the Huskies' record was a 72-71 loss to Tennessee on Feb. 2.

GALLIPOLIS -Are you using the correct fertilizer in your tobacco transplant system? Careful selection of float system fertilizer is critc ical to· rhe success of your rrans- . plants. Remember to focus on two . -components: the nutrient analysis and the forms of nitrogen present. Beginning with ,the analysis, the first and,third figures, nitrogen and potash should be nearly the same, or a 1:1 ratio. The . middle figure, pertent phosphorus, should l!e 1/4 to 1/2 of the nitrogen and soluble potash figures. Thus, a typical analysis for tobacco float systems is 20-10-20 or,155-15, or 20-5-20. Research shows that a 1:I ratio of total nitrogen and soluble potash results in balanced root and top growth. The phos11hate level is adequate for plant development, but also prevents the lush· growth that requires frequent clipping.This will result in healthier plants and Jess · labor requirements. Secondly, pay close attention to the forms of nitrogen contained' in Jennifer Byrnes GUEST COLUMNIST the fertilizer. There may be different forn1_S of nitrogen presen.t; however, 11- suitable fertilizer for tobacco float systems contains at least 60 percent of its total nitrogen in the form of nitrate-nitrogen. Fertilizers with high percentages of urea as a nitrogen source may stunt tobacco and even kill young seedlings. Death and stunting results because: nitrogen in the form of urea is converted in the soilless medium to other forms of nitrogen which are toxic ·to the Y.,ung seedlings.

GALLIPOLIS -Are you using the correct fertilizer in your tobacco transplant system? Careful selection of float system fertilizer is critc ical to· rhe success of your rrans- . plants. Remember to focus on two . -components: the nutrient analysis and the forms of nitrogen present. Beginning with ,the analysis, the first and,third figures, nitrogen and potash should be nearly the same, or a 1:1 ratio. The . middle figure, pertent phosphorus, should l!e 1/4 to 1/2 of the nitrogen and soluble potash figures. Thus, a typical analysis for tobacco float systems is 20-10-20 or,155-15, or 20-5-20. Research shows that a 1:I ratio of total nitrogen and soluble potash results in balanced root and top growth. The phos11hate level is adequate for plant development, but also prevents the lush· growth that requires frequent clipping.This will result in healthier plants and Jess · labor requirements. Secondly, pay close attention to the forms of nitrogen contained' in Jennifer Byrnes GUEST COLUMNIST the fertilizer. There may be different forn1_S of nitrogen presen.t; however, 11- suitable fertilizer for tobacco float systems contains at least 60 percent of its total nitrogen in the form of nitrate-nitrogen. Fertilizers with high percentages of urea as a nitrogen source may stunt tobacco and even kill young seedlings. Death and stunting results because: nitrogen in the form of urea is converted in the soilless medium to other forms of nitrogen which are toxic ·to the Y.,ung seedlings. Another form of nitrogen may Plei!H ... Byrnes. ....

If this is your first .vegerable garden, rake the time to !:Ike a soil sample of the ground (several cores: of soil raken to the depth of the; plowed area). For under $10, the' Extension Office can send it away to a soil testing lab to receive nutrient recommendations for lime, phosphorous and porassium level!. Secondly, make a plan of the crops you intend to plant, allocat" ing sufficient space for their devel- . opment. You may be able to double crop some of the growing space with early plantings of letruce, cabbage, brocccli and peas, followed after an early June harvest with plantings of squash, beans or melons. ' Weed control is best handled by mulching the pathways and hand hoeing the weeds near the plants eady in the season. Later'in June, mulch the area between the plants within the row after the ·soil has walmed up.
