"We wan t to rake a few days to assess what we want to do," Parrot said." According to the museum official, these bones belong to the Butler County Commissioners.

COLU MBUS {AP) Hearu\tgs shut down Wednesday on Gov. Bob Taft's proposal ro .require the safe storage of firearms and the ' issue likely is dead for the rest of this year's legislative session, Republica~J leaders said. Rep. Ann Womer Benjamin, an Aurora Republican and the bill's sponsor, told the House C rirrlinal Justice Committee she . would not push for a vote on the issue unless she had enough votes to n!commend it to the full !-louse. "Unless and until sentiment on the comnuttee changes significantly. I will not call further hearings on the bill and we will move on," said Womer Benjamin. the committee's chairwoman . Speaker Jo Ann Davidson, a R ey noldsburg Republican, confirmed the bill likely was dead. " [ don't expect it to come up this' year;' she said. Womer Benjamin's bill would have required adults to keep firearms and ammonition away from children while they are unsupervised. It would have created a new provision in existing child endangerment laws fo r parents whose children ge t access to firearms. Taft,.who .urged the cotn,nllttee to support the bill when he testified before the panel on Tuesday, has not given up on the subject, spokesman Scott Milbu rn said. IfTaft cannot get a bill through the current session, he might try the next session of the Legislature, which begi~s in January, Milburn said. · "It's something that he is committed to and something he will try to win ," Milburn said. " He's in for the long haul for this." Taft said,in a statement that he was disap·pointed the issue didn't win more support in the committee. Eight of the 14· members must recommencled passage for the biU to reach the House floor. "[ will continue to urge Ohioans who own firearms to be mindful of this responsibiliry because I believe it is a basic duty of any parent· - indeed, of any adult- to pt;etect children from harm," the governor said. Opponents of the bill said they were pleased that the iss4~ was not moving ahead.· They portrayed it as a bill that singles out guns while car crashes, for instance,. Ifill more children . The opponents also said. they feared that th e bill infringed on their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms . .

' WASHINGTON (AP) - The Energy Department's proposed compensation plan for sick nuclear weapons plant workers gives special consideration to uranium enrichment plant employees applying for benefits."Workers fiom the enrichment plants would be given the .chance to quickly qualify for a $100,000 lump-sum payment.

Assistant i. Secretary David Michaels is the DOE's top health official. He said the expedited payment option was fair b.ecause of evidence that the government ignored .t he dangers posed by making workers handle dangerous materials without providing protection or even telling them what they were handling. "The three gaseous diffusion plants are difFerent:' he said. "We have evidence that · we exposed them to plutonium and radioactive materials, didn't tell them ... and actively decided not to look at the what the doset were." Cancer-stricken workers at ~ery other plim t in the nuclear weapons . complex ·- including the former Feed Materials Proc duction Center at Fernald, Ohio and Mound Plant in Miamisburg, Ohio- would not be able to collect any money until after the government had evaluated records of their radiation expos~re.

People who were exposed tci very little radiation would not meet the standard for their cancer to be declared work-related ~n~ worthy of compensation. However, if reliable exposure recC!rd,s were not available, Energy Secre; tary BiU Richardson said his staff would b e ordered to presume maximum exposure for the type of job that worker held. Once those requirements were met, the worker (or if the worker already has died, the surviving family member) would be given "a choice: .either $100,000 cash or fuUy compensated medical care plus reimbursement for lost wages.

Teen Institute is a positive, drug-free, prevention group dedicated to educating teens about the harmful effects drugs and alcoh ol can have on a person and the people around them. Teen Institute consists of middle school and high school students all across Southeastern Ohio. Meigs High School recently elected officers. They are Amanda Miller, president; Michelle Kennedy, vi ce presi- dent; and Bobbie Burson, secretary. As president, you have to have certain qualities and c haracteristics. Amanda says that you have to· be very organized and open minded to suggestions. T. L is a busy group and has to be organized to get even ts sc heduled and,plan ned. She also thinks that bei ng a positiv~. drugfree role model - a quality that she possess- really helps her perform her duties. Recently, T.L sponsored a dance held in memory of R yan Lemley.

The answen may be varied, contradictory, outlandish or unfeasible, but they deserve to be examined. A group of Gallipolis City Schools citizens are planning a survey to gather public Co11ducting a opinion on future needs in their district. . SIIYI!CJI al/OWS Gallia County Local Schools also are trythe adrni11is- ing to find out, as Board of Education President Fred [}eel said, "what the com· tra.tiotr to get a munity wants and is willing to suppoPt." fuller picture of The reasons for the surveys are similar, to determin.e how each district can better wants and serve students and the school conununity. Periodically, and if the funds are availdesires. able, it's a good idea for tri-county area administrators to get a fiX on the public t>lllse. Too often the only indication they gee is when a bond issue or levy is put before the voters, and then it's too late. · It's also a sign boards of education and administrators are trying to open lines of communication. This is a positive step since some residents view tile leadership of their school systeni as ~mote and unwilling to listen. At the same time, when the opportunity arises for public comment, citizens should seize it and make their opinions known. When only a handfuT of comments arise at a board meeting, the,re is no guarantee these concerns are representative of the community. This .applies to all levels of local government, fiom the county commis$ion to the school board to the smallest town meeting. Conducting a survey allows the administration to get a fuller pic,ture of wants and desires. With survey results in hand, schools can formulate a plan that can at least address some of the issues raised by the survey. · · · Such surveys also improl(e the chances of bmid and levy issues passing, because school officials can put forth a call that meets the ·wants of residents as much as it meets their own needs. This isn't always the case with tri-county area special elections. With funding sources either flat or shrinking and age catching up .with many facilities, a plan is almost a necessity. Therefore, we applaud the survey concept. h's a way of bringing the schools and the conununity together. . ' You tell, they listen. It's democracy in action. And while answers to survey questions may be difficult to sa;uge at first, some excellent · . . ideas may arise in the long run. · So reach out to your communities, school boards. Co11111\unities, reward your school boards by answering these surveys truthfully. Toge ther, we can improve education in the tri-county area.

It seems like every time. there's a milestone in my daughter's life, The Dream is there · io remind that tim e is fleeting. The occasion this time? Kindergarten orientation. Gulp. My Ljttle Bit is going to school in the fall. I'm not sure I'm ready for this. It was tough enough when Breeanna graduated from the bassinet to the crib. That was the first time The Dream appeared. Then she graduated from diapers to " big girl panties" and The Dream was there. Now she's ready to graduate preschool for "big girl school" and The Dream is back again. So what is The Dream? It first visited the night Breeanna moved &om our bedside to her very own room, dubbed the"rooni DisneY threw up in"by the wife for its overly Mickey-esque decor. Keeping a tuned ear to the baby monitor's tiny speaker, I drifted to sleep and The Dream took over. I see a young Breeanna on her first day of school. Ever the Barbie fan, she's wearing a Barbie ensemble, including Barbie earrings and necklace. In her arms she totes a Barbie lunch box, complete with the Barbie school · suppli~s she'll need for the big day. As she climbs the stairs, Little Bit turns to bid adieu. The sparkle in her eyes outshi'nes the tears in mine.. "See you later, Daddy," she says with a smile. "OK, sweetheart. You be a good girl and R. Shawn Lewis MY VIEW remember: Daddy loves you." The Dream fa st-forwards . a few years. Breeanna is wearing a Braves softball uniform and she belts the game-winning home 'run. Crossing home plate, Breeanna pounces into my arms in a scene' resembling that of real-life Braves catcher Greg Olson leaping into John Smaltz's arms after the big. league Braves won the National League' p'ennant back in 1991. The sparkle in her eyes outshines the tears · in mine. Next, I hear the regal sounds of" Pomp and Circumstance" and see scores of young men and women clad in blue robes and mortar boards slowly filing into an au'd itorium. On stage, I see Breeanna. She's seated next to the superintendent. A wo man rises and moves to the podium. . · "And now, for this year's valedictorian address, it is my pleasure to introduce to ... Breeanna Michelle Lewis," th e woman says. From my front-row seat, 1 see th e tiny baby I once knew has grown into a bright young woman. Liste ning to every word she says, I thank the Lord for making me the happiest man on earth . Standing proud among her peers, the sparkle in her eyes outshines the tears in mine. The Dream moves to a small, yet elegaii.t ·church sanctuary. I'm in a tuxedo and stand~ ing beside m e is a vision of beauty adorned in white. I lift the veil and there she is ... my Littic Bit. T he sparkle in her eyes outshines the · tears in mine. " Here's where it gets strang~, folks. • The first time I had The Dream, I wa} awakened by the amplified sounds of baby Breeanna crying over the monitor just as the organist began playing "The Wedding March."

KONDRACKE'S VIEW: voters, Congress unready for finance reform Sad to say, despite all the attention given to the issue this year, Congress and the public don't seem ready for campaign finance reform. An ABC News/Washington Post poll shows election reform is regarded as "very important" by only 34 percent of voters, putting it in 13th place among presidential election issues. At best, it's apparently going to be just a debating point thi.s .year, as Vice "President AI Gore tries to dress: up like reform champion Sen. John McCain, R - Ariz., ·in order to divert attention from his 1996 fund-raising misdeeds. Even though Republkans will hammer Gore for the way he raised money, they renuin utterly uninterested in meaningful change. McCain and his ref~rm partne~, Sen. Russ Feingold, D- Wis., are in discussions about how to wage one more battle to ban soft money. but no one believes they yet have enough votes. McCain may lose some of his credibility, moreover, by campaigning for Republican congressional candidates who oppose reform. The arch foe of reform, 'Sen. Mitch McConnell, R -Ky. , has ·held hearings mainly designed to show that the political parties need sofl: money and that political money is "speech" and protected by the Fint Amendment. On the House side, the Ways and Means Committee last week voted along party lines against a proposal by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, DTexas, to merely require disclosure of so-called "527" political committees, w~ch can raise and spend uplimited amounts of m,oney in secret. GOP reform opponents often claim that prompt, full ,disclosure of campaign money i~ one ·step they favor. But the Doggett vote belies such protestations. , New evidence of the need for more disclosure cropped up last week with Roll Call's report that a· political committee with links to House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R -Texas, raised $1.3 millio)1 in 1998 from just five donors, one of whom gave $1 million. Who wa.lit; , and what might the individual or . company have gotten in return?The U S..Fam- But the courts might find that unions artd compan ies have the right to speak for theqtselves politically, so another approach might ~e full disclosure of the union and corporate money behind electioneering ads.

Ornstein nlso proposes eliminating 527 commise on the campaign-fin ance-reform front.

The answen may be varied, contradictory, outlandish or unfeasible, but they deserve to be examined. A group of Gallipolis City Schools citizens are planning a survey to gather public Co11ducting a opinion on future needs in their district. . SIIYI!CJI al/OWS Gallia County Local Schools also are trythe adrni11is- ing to find out, as Board of Education President Fred [}eel said, "what the com· tra.tiotr to get a munity wants and is willing to suppoPt." fuller picture of The reasons for the surveys are similar, to determin.e how each district can better wants and serve students and the school conununity. Periodically, and if the funds are availdesires. able, it's a good idea for tri-county area administrators to get a fiX on the public t>lllse. Too often the only indication they gee is when a bond issue or levy is put before the voters, and then it's too late. · It's also a sign boards of education and administrators are trying to open lines of communication. This is a positive step since some residents view tile leadership of their school systeni as ~mote and unwilling to listen. At the same time, when the opportunity arises for public comment, citizens should seize it and make their opinions known. When only a handfuT of comments arise at a board meeting, the,re is no guarantee these concerns are representative of the community. This .applies to all levels of local government, fiom the county commis$ion to the school board to the smallest town meeting. Conducting a survey allows the administration to get a fuller pic,ture of wants and desires. With survey results in hand, schools can formulate a plan that can at least address some of the issues raised by the survey. · · · Such surveys also improl(e the chances of bmid and levy issues passing, because school officials can put forth a call that meets the ·wants of residents as much as it meets their own needs. This isn't always the case with tri-county area special elections. With funding sources either flat or shrinking and age catching up .with many facilities, a plan is almost a necessity. Therefore, we applaud the survey concept. h's a way of bringing the schools and the conununity together. . ' You tell, they listen. It's democracy in action. And while answers to survey questions may be difficult to sa;uge at first, some excellent · . . ideas may arise in the long run. · So reach out to your communities, school boards. Co11111\unities, reward your school boards by answering these surveys truthfully. Toge ther, we can improve education in the tri-county area.

My Ljttle Bit is going to school in the fall. I'm not sure I'm ready for this. It was tough enough when Breeanna graduated from the bassinet to the crib. That was the first time The Dream appeared. Then she graduated from diapers to " big girl panties" and The Dream was there. Now she's ready to graduate preschool for "big girl school" and The Dream is back again. So what is The Dream? It first visited the night Breeanna moved &om our bedside to her very own room, dubbed the"rooni DisneY threw up in"by the wife for its overly Mickey-esque decor. Keeping a tuned ear to the baby monitor's tiny speaker, I drifted to sleep and The Dream took over. I see a young Breeanna on her first day of school. Ever the Barbie fan, she's wearing a Barbie ensemble, including Barbie earrings and necklace. In her arms she totes a Barbie lunch box, complete with the Barbie school · suppli~s she'll need for the big day. As she climbs the stairs, Little Bit turns to bid adieu. The sparkle in her eyes outshi'nes the tears in mine.. "See you later, Daddy," she says with a smile. "OK, sweetheart. You be a good girl and R. Shawn Lewis MY VIEW remember: Daddy loves you." The Dream fa st-forwards . a few years. Breeanna is wearing a Braves softball uniform and she belts the game-winning home 'run. Crossing home plate, Breeanna pounces into my arms in a scene' resembling that of real-life Braves catcher Greg Olson leaping into John Smaltz's arms after the big. league Braves won the National League' p'ennant back in 1991. The sparkle in her eyes outshines the tears · in mine. Next, I hear the regal sounds of" Pomp and Circumstance" and see scores of young men and women clad in blue robes and mortar boards slowly filing into an au'd itorium. On stage, I see Breeanna. She's seated next to the superintendent. A wo man rises and moves to the podium. . · "And now, for this year's valedictorian address, it is my pleasure to introduce to ... Breeanna Michelle Lewis," th e woman says. From my front-row seat, 1 see th e tiny baby I once knew has grown into a bright young woman.

KONDRACKE'S VIEW: voters, Congress unready for finance reform Sad to say, despite all the attention given to the issue this year, Congress and the public don't seem ready for campaign finance reform. An ABC News/Washington Post poll shows election reform is regarded as "very important" by only 34 percent of voters, putting it in 13th place among presidential election issues. At best, it's apparently going to be just a debating point thi.s .year, as Vice "President AI Gore tries to dress: up like reform champion Sen. John McCain, R - Ariz., ·in order to divert attention from his 1996 fund-raising misdeeds. Even though Republkans will hammer Gore for the way he raised money, they renuin utterly uninterested in meaningful change. McCain and his ref~rm partne~, Sen. Russ Feingold, D- Wis., are in discussions about how to wage one more battle to ban soft money. but no one believes they yet have enough votes. McCain may lose some of his credibility, moreover, by campaigning for Republican congressional candidates who oppose reform. The arch foe of reform, 'Sen. Mitch McConnell, R -Ky. , has ·held hearings mainly designed to show that the political parties need sofl: money and that political money is "speech" and protected by the Fint Amendment. On the House side, the Ways and Means Committee last week voted along party lines against a proposal by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, DTexas, to merely require disclosure of so-called "527" political committees, w~ch can raise and spend uplimited amounts of m,oney in secret. GOP reform opponents often claim that prompt, full ,disclosure of campaign money i~ one ·step they favor. But the Doggett vote belies such protestations. , New evidence of the need for more disclosure cropped up last week with Roll Call's report that a· political committee with links to House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R -Texas, raised $1.3 millio)1 in 1998 from just five donors, one of whom gave $1 million.

The findings add to a growing body of research indicating that smoking by mothers-to-be can harm children. : Nearly all 2-year-olds exhibit some rebelliousn~ss, risktaking and impulsiveness. But such behavior was four times more likely in toddlers whose mothers smoked during pregnancy, according to" the stu~y.

Dr. Alan Leshih:.r of the National Institute of Dmg Abuse, which funded the Stndy ofT~ 99 toddlers and the1r mothers, said smoking might alter children's behavior by exposing the ·fetus to nicotine, which could reduce the amount of oxygen that gets to the brain. The research·ers, led by Judith Brook of Mount Sinai School -of Medi cine in New York, also suggest, as others ~ave, that problem behavior linked to maternal smoking is likely to continue into adolescence. . > .. . · Smoking during pregnancy has been hnked I<! fo~ b"thweight, retardation and evert criminal behavior in adulthood.

The findings add to a growing body of research indicating that smoking by mothers-to-be can harm children. : Nearly all 2-year-olds exhibit some rebelliousn~ss, risktaking and impulsiveness. But such behavior was four times more likely in toddlers whose mothers smoked during pregnancy, according to" the stu~y. 'rhe findings suggest a chemical root for the. problem behavior, since the researchers took into account sociological factors~at might have affected the children,. such. as a mother's stre~ersonality and income leyel. Dr. Alan Leshih:.r of the National Institute of Dmg Abuse, which funded the Stndy ofT~ 99 toddlers and the1r mothers, said smoking might alter children's behavior by exposing the ·fetus to nicotine, which could reduce the amount of oxygen that gets to the brain. The research·ers, led by Judith Brook of Mount Sinai School -of Medi cine in New York, also suggest, as others ~ave, that problem behavior linked to maternal smoking is likely to continue into adolescence. . > .. . · Smoking during pregnancy has been hnked I<! fo~ b"thweight, retardation and evert criminal behavior in adulthood.

The measure, which passed 4168 Wednesday, also gives the government a way to keep small-scale oil drillers economically afloat during periods when oil prices drop too low to make production viable. The two provisions were pan of a . larger bill that renews the president's authority, during an energy crisis, to withdraw oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a 600 million barrel stockpile in Texas and Louisiana set :~Side by law for emergencies. ' The Senare has acted to restore that authority, which expired when the House failed to act by March 31. The bill now goes back to the Senate for final approval.

Gore and other Democrats contend that MSAs are "tax shelters for the wealthiest and healthiest AmenC_;lns:· and that Bush's plan would drain them from the general insuranee pool. '.'By luring them out of the regular health insurance system he would actually drive up health insurance costs for working families," Gore told a meeting of newspaper editon Wednesday.

He estimates that the $2,000 credit would cover about half of what a family would spend to buy i basic health insurance policy fiom a private insurer. Critics say coverage for a family . costs at least S6,000 a year. At that rate, families earning $30,000 would have to spend $4,000, or more' than 10 pen:ent of their earnings, to buy insurance. Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund, says ·studies show that people won't buy health insurance if their out-of-pocket costs exceed 5 pen:ent of their income.

Jim Hunt on an agreement that corruni ts Hunt's suppo rt to America's Promise's goals. · As part of the agree ment, signed during a rally at a Greensboro slici'pping mall, Hunt issued an executi ve order giving state e mployees paid time off to mentor children . For Powell, the goal is to get more than money from corpo rations. The fo rmer Army ge neral wallts their souls. "It 's easy to write an oversized check and say, ' We've do ne our part.' But we go to th e company's chairman and president to get them to invest in their own futures . It's more than volunteering. What they do is in their self-interest," Powell ·said. America's Promise is centered on five guiding principles - patnng children with caring adults, providing safe haven for kids, giving children proper nutrition, teaching marketable skills and providing community service. At a roundtable of community and c orporate leaders, Powell drinks in · the message from representatives from companies like First Union Bank, the Pepsi Bottling Co. and General Electric - a pledge to give employees paid leave to volunteer time at local schools and community facilities. At the mall, Powell tells a cheering crowd, "The children of today have enemies in their lives - drugs, crime, violence and dispair. We have to step forward and be mentors." But no matter how many times Powell expresses -his passion for helping children or his aversio n to the prospect of nonsto p political fund-raising and the other confines o f seeking electea office, the general knows ano th er qu estion about his nonexistent political ambitions is just around the corner. "Ten years ago, I was a lieutenant gen- · eral who was dragged into the White House. Before l knew what happened, l was chairman" o f the Joint C hiefs, Powell said. "If you turned back the clock 12 years and gave me back the anonymity I had, it wouldn't bother m e in the least. At least I could go to garage sales again."

Bush's proposal to give $2,000 tax credits to help poor families pay for health insurance received · mixed reviews, with private experts calling it a generous plan that will assist millions and activisls saying the "tiny"'credits-won't help most families. The tax credits will help some 18 million low-income Americans buy ·' health insur.mce, inclu<ling 4 million to 5 million who couldn't afford it before, said John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative research group. ' Pollack, president of FamiRon lies USA, which lobbies for universal health care, countered that most uninsured famjlies couldn't affotd ,coverage because the tax credits would cover too little of their outof-pocket expenses. He prefers Vice President AI Gore's plan to \pclude ' more low-income people in existing govenunent health plans. The debate underscores that health .care - and the problem of getting insurance to the estirn:ited 44 million Americans who don't have any - i.o; a hot issue in the presidential race.

To address high out-of-pocket health ex'Penses, Bush would expand tax-fiee medical savings accounts. Now limited by the government to self-employed people and workers at small companies, MSAs would be available to everyo,5. under Bush's plan. Gore and other Democrats contend that MSAs are "tax shelters for the wealthiest and healthiest AmenC_;lns:· and that Bush's plan would drain them from the general insuranee pool. '.'By luring them out of the regular health insurance system he would actually drive up health insurance costs for working families," Gore told a meeting of newspaper editon Wednesday. Under his $146 billion plan announced last year, Gore would raise income limits on the ChilsJren's Health IJ1SI!rancre P.rogr.un to get more uninsu red kids covered and allow their parents into the program.

He estimates that the $2,000 credit would cover about half of what a family would spend to buy i basic health insurance policy fiom a private insurer. Critics say coverage for a family . costs at least S6,000 a year. At that rate, families earning $30,000 would have to spend $4,000, or more' than 10 pen:ent of their earnings, to buy insurance. Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund, says ·studies show that people won't buy health insurance if their out-of-pocket costs exceed 5 pen:ent of their income. "This is really not affojdable for anyone below $40,000,"'said Davis.

This is becau~e you can trust the bids and play! an expert makes ; you may dra~ reliable conclusions from them. Not so with a beginner in opposition. Take this deal, for example. How ~ hould the play go in six spades after West leads a diamond? South's two-heart cue-bid announced he had at leasrgame in his own hand. West's four hearts was pre-emptive, based on the vulnerability (and an iron consti. .. I) tuhon My guess is that if South had immediately tried to cash two top clubs, it would have been too tempting for East, and· he would have ruffed. Then the contract would have made . Declarer ruffs the diamond return, draws trumps in two rounds, unblocks the heart ace, enters.dummy with a trump to the nine. and .discards his two club losers on the king-queen of hearts. However, South tried a different initial approach: He led the spade I0 from hand. Now, if believing South to be a complete beginner, East would·n'l know what to make of this development. But ~s East knew South to be an expert, if South wanted him to .win a cheap trick with the spa(je jack, it had to be a better idea not to accept the gift . East played low! · Next, ·south led out the ace and king of clubs. Again, East refused .to bite: He discarded a hean. Now South's contract was history. Who was East?

If you are a good player, paradoxically it is usually easier to play against an expert than against a beginner. This is becau~e you can trust the bids and play! an expert makes ; you may dra~ reliable conclusions from them. Not so with a beginner in opposition. Take this deal, for example. How ~ hould the play go in six spades after West leads a diamond? South's two-heart cue-bid announced he had at leasrgame in his own hand. West's four hearts was pre-emptive, based on the vulnerability (and an iron consti. .. I) tuhon My guess is that if South had immediately tried to cash two top clubs, it would have been too tempting for East, and· he would have ruffed. Then the contract would have made . Declarer ruffs the diamond return, draws trumps in two rounds, unblocks the heart ace, enters.dummy with a trump to the nine. and .discards his two club losers on the king-queen of hearts. However, South tried a different initial approach: He led the spade I0 from hand. Now, if believing South to be a complete beginner, East would·n'l know what to make of this development. But ~s East knew South to be an expert, if South wanted him to .win a cheap trick with the spa(je jack, it had to be a better idea not to accept the gift . East played low! · Next, ·south led out the ace and king of clubs. Again, East refused .to bite: He discarded a hean. Now South's contract was history. Who was East?
