Valle! onlr at parllclpallng IDC:allan, C1!111 LC.E. , 1nt~ POMEROY - The ac ute care inpatient unit of Veterans Memorial Hospital will close Saturday at 7 a.m. That announcement . ca m e this morning from Rhonda Dailey, vice preside nt of nursing, who attributed the closing to the failure of voters to pass a 4mill levy in th e March primary, which would have provided needed funds for the operation. "It is a sad time to lpse .such a service," said Dailey. Before the election , C hi ef Executive Officer Robert Bowers said that if the levy failed, both the emergency room and the acute care unit would close "no later than July 1." This earlier closing of the acute care unit is necessary at this time, said Dailey, because sever:il nurses have left for other employment, leaving inadequate st~ffing to take care of patients. She emphasized, however, that every effort will be made to " honor our pledge of maintaining, the emergency room , lab and X-ray services through the June 30, 2000, date as long as safe levels of staff can be maintained." The nurses there, she said, are committed to staying until the end. -As for other personnel affected by Saturday's closing, the nursing supervisor said that the need for lab and x-ray technicians will be reduced .. She indi cated, however, thar even after the emergency room closes in June there will still be a limite d demand for those serVIces. She stressed that th e only · changes are in acute care and emerge ncy room service - that "there will be no change in the 40- bed skilled nursing facility, the I 0-bed behavioral health unit, the rural health clinic or the home health services." She s~id they will remain open to serve the public. As for the one or tWo patients in th e hospital now, Dailey said rhat if they have not been discharged before Saturday, th en 1 they will be transferred to a hospital of their choice. Patients treated in the emergency room and needing hospi tal care will be taken w herever they want td go, she said. ., She also noted that VMH officials and one of the Meigs County commissioners had met with a liaison from the gover.nor's office last week to discuss the C ritical Care Access option. ~Wei): ~ld that any possibility of getting into a program which would improve bottom . line operating expenses through an improved Qlethod of Medicare/ Medicaid reimbursem ent is more than a year down the road.

Koala bctm at Columbus zoo C OLUMBUS (AP) - The birth · of a Victoria koala at the Columbus Zoo is the first successful one in the United States in 14 yean, zoo associate director Patty Peters said. The previow successful birth of a Victoria koala in this country was at the Los Angeles Zoo in 1986, she ~d on Wednesday. Keeper$ aren't exactly sure when the joey, whose sex is unknown, was born. · "We first saw pouch movement the end of January," said Adele Absi, head keeper of the zoo's Australia/ Asia region. "At that point, we ~ere keeping our fingers crossed." . Not until several weeks after the first paw sighting last month did . the joey decide to emerge completely. Koalas are marsupials, like kangaroos. When born, they're about . the size of a jelly bean and weigh just slightly more. After birth, the joey crawls unaided to its mother's pouch. The infant is the offspring of Gumnut and Tibolt, both 5 years old. They have been on permanent loan since 1997 from the Melbourne Zoo and the Whyalla Wildlife and Reptile Sanctuary, in southern Australia. ·· Gumnut also gave birth last sununer, but the joey did not survive the trek to its mother's pouch. "This is where some .of the babies don't survive," Absi said. "It's quite a journey for them, and the mother can't help because she could accidentally knock them off." Because they don't know its sex, 200 officials haven't named the joey yet. Besides Columbus, zoos in Albuquerque, N.M., and St. Louis have Victoria koalas. Koalas live in eucalyptus forests in Australia. Instead of building nests, they position themselves in the crooks of branches. They can eat as much as 6 pounds of eucalyptus leaves a day. Eight indided in firebombing LIMA (AP) - An Allen County special grand jury has indicted eight people on' aggravated murder, arson and robbery charges in connection with a house fire that killed five family members. Prosecutor David Bowers said Wednesday the death penalty likely will be sought for some of the defendants. Still unanswered is what prompted the firebombing on March 29 and whether all eight were at the scene: Prosecutors are not releasing a motive or details about the trime in order to cut down on pretrial publicity that could lead to changing the site of a trial, Bowers told The Lima News for a story Thursday. Prosecuting the cases could run more than $1 million, he said. In a death penalty case, a defendant has the right to a separate trial, but if the death penalty is not sought, a judge determines whether to try defendants together. Killed in the fire were Marian Wright, 33; her children, Marshonda Wright, 13, and Marquis Wright, 16; and her fiance's children, Rodnina Bunley, 17, and Ravis ~unley, 14. Wright's fiance, Rodney Bunley, 41, s~ed by leaping from an upstairs window. ') WILLOUGHBY (AP) - When Alice (Empkey) Batchelqr graduated from Ohio Wesl.,..n University in 1931, the usual women's role in the business world was limited. They were secretaries, even with a degree in economics. Batchelor died Feb. 19. The .90-year-old woman left the bulk of her estate, more than $500,000, to her former school in Delaware, Ohio. "This is a wonderful surpdse:· said Audrey Carter, Ohio Wesleyan vice president.

The gilt, according to the donor's wishes, will be used (or a graduate student scholarship in economics, she said. In addition to the gilt to. Ohio Wesleyan, Batchelor left about $17,000 that is going to Pl}'ll1outh Church of Shaker Heights, the Bertram Woods Branch of Shaker Heights Library, University l-fospitals of Cleveland and a few friends. "She was a neat lady with close ties to her school," said Charles Zellmer, a Cleveland lawyer who is co-executor of her estate. He said s~e had been an administrative asSistant at Ge'neral Electric Co., near Cleveland. "She worked for years for the head of the Lighting Institute for General Electric Co. at Nela Park and she was always interested in the business side;' Zellmer said. Nancy McLaughlin, a friend, said Batchelor was a widow and she had no children. But McLaughlin said she was like her family's • grandmother. "She became grandma and came to all of the holidays at our house," McLaughlin said. "This is the first holiday when she won't be at our dinner table. "My father sold IBM typewriters and had (GE) Nela: Park as a client:' she said. "He said Alice was the contact person and the managers said, 'Whatever Alice wants is OK with us.'

TOLEDO (AP) - Efforts to protec t wetlands along Lake Erie may actually be hurting the lake, University of Toledo ~esea rc h suggests. A recently released study say$ ,op e n wetlands - not enclosed by dikes - would keep more pollutants from farmland o ut of the lake. But 'most wetlands in the sho reline area are either fully enclosed or partly diked. "What's happening now is that runoff from farmland is ditched around the wetlands and straight into the lake," said H ans Gottgens, an associate professor of biology at the University ofToledo. . Gottgens suggested that holes be cut into the dikes so that farm runoff could flow through before entering into Lake Erie. "We should allow these marshes to fun ction as a kidneys," Gottgens said Wednesday. The wetlands along Lake Erie's shoreline are home to hundreds of species of birds and fish. They also help prevent floqding .

Koala bctm at Columbus zoo C OLUMBUS (AP) - The birth · of a Victoria koala at the Columbus Zoo is the first successful one in the United States in 14 yean, zoo associate director Patty Peters said. The previow successful birth of a Victoria koala in this country was at the Los Angeles Zoo in 1986, she ~d on Wednesday. Keeper$ aren't exactly sure when the joey, whose sex is unknown, was born. · "We first saw pouch movement the end of January," said Adele Absi, head keeper of the zoo's Australia/ Asia region. "At that point, we ~ere keeping our fingers crossed." . Not until several weeks after the first paw sighting last month did . the joey decide to emerge completely. Koalas are marsupials, like kangaroos. When born, they're about . the size of a jelly bean and weigh just slightly more. After birth, the joey crawls unaided to its mother's pouch. The infant is the offspring of Gumnut and Tibolt, both 5 years old. They have been on permanent loan since 1997 from the Melbourne Zoo and the Whyalla Wildlife and Reptile Sanctuary, in southern Australia. ·· Gumnut also gave birth last sununer, but the joey did not survive the trek to its mother's pouch. "This is where some .of the babies don't survive," Absi said. "It's quite a journey for them, and the mother can't help because she could accidentally knock them off." Because they don't know its sex, 200 officials haven't named the joey yet. Besides Columbus, zoos in Albuquerque, N.M., and St. Louis have Victoria koalas. Koalas live in eucalyptus forests in Australia. Instead of building nests, they position themselves in the crooks of branches. They can eat as much as 6 pounds of eucalyptus leaves a day. Eight indided in firebombing LIMA (AP) - An Allen County special grand jury has indicted eight people on' aggravated murder, arson and robbery charges in connection with a house fire that killed five family members. Prosecutor David Bowers said Wednesday the death penalty likely will be sought for some of the defendants. Still unanswered is what prompted the firebombing on March 29 and whether all eight were at the scene: Prosecutors are not releasing a motive or details about the trime in order to cut down on pretrial publicity that could lead to changing the site of a trial, Bowers told The Lima News for a story Thursday. Prosecuting the cases could run more than $1 million, he said. In a death penalty case, a defendant has the right to a separate trial, but if the death penalty is not sought, a judge determines whether to try defendants together. Killed in the fire were Marian Wright, 33; her children, Marshonda Wright, 13, and Marquis Wright, 16; and her fiance's children, Rodnina Bunley, 17, and Ravis ~unley, 14. Wright's fiance, Rodney Bunley, 41, s~ed by leaping from an upstairs window. ') WILLOUGHBY (AP) - When Alice (Empkey) Batchelqr graduated from Ohio Wesl.,..n University in 1931, the usual women's role in the business world was limited. They were secretaries, even with a degree in economics. Batchelor died Feb. 19. The .90-year-old woman left the bulk of her estate, more than $500,000, to her former school in Delaware, Ohio. "This is a wonderful surpdse:· said Audrey Carter, Ohio Wesleyan vice president. Batchelor contributed small amounts but never led anyone to believe ihe would give so much money, Carter said Wednesday. The gilt, according to the donor's wishes, will be used (or a graduate student scholarship in economics, she said. In addition to the gilt to. Ohio Wesleyan, Batchelor left about $17,000 that is going to Pl}'ll1outh Church of Shaker Heights, the Bertram Woods Branch of Shaker Heights Library, University l-fospitals of Cleveland and a few friends. "She was a neat lady with close ties to her school," said Charles Zellmer, a Cleveland lawyer who is co-executor of her estate. He said s~e had been an administrative asSistant at Ge'neral Electric Co., near Cleveland. "She worked for years for the head of the Lighting Institute for General Electric Co. at Nela Park and she was always interested in the business side;' Zellmer said. Nancy McLaughlin, a friend, said Batchelor was a widow and she had no children. But McLaughlin said she was like her family's • grandmother. "She became grandma and came to all of the holidays at our house," McLaughlin said. "This is the first holiday when she won't be at our dinner table. "My father sold IBM typewriters and had (GE) Nela: Park as a client:' she said. "He said Alice was the contact person and the managers said, 'Whatever Alice wants is OK with us.' If she thought it was good for GE~ th~y trusted her enough to think so too. She was · extremely intelligent." TOLEDO (AP) - Efforts to protec t wetlands along Lake Erie may actually be hurting the lake, University of Toledo ~esea rc h suggests. A recently released study say$ ,op e n wetlands - not enclosed by dikes - would keep more pollutants from farmland o ut of the lake. But 'most wetlands in the sho reline area are either fully enclosed or partly diked. "What's happening now is that runoff from farmland is ditched around the wetlands and straight into the lake," said H ans Gottgens, an associate professor of biology at the University ofToledo. . Gottgens suggested that holes be cut into the dikes so that farm runoff could flow through before entering into Lake Erie. "We should allow these marshes to fun ction as a kidneys," Gottgens said Wednesday. The wetlands along Lake Erie's shoreline are home to hundreds of species of birds and fish. They also help prevent floqding .

For years, my wife hit me, spit in my face, threw things at me, and controlled my choice of friends, my money, and my life. After she threatened me with a knife, I went to the police. They laughed, and that was the end of it. I saw psycholqgists and marriage counselors, talked to my wife's parents, and tried antidepressants. When she threatened me 'with a knife a second time, I went to court to get a restraining order. The judge, a female, refused my request.! gave .up, and filed for divorce. At the trial, my wife admitted to hitting me, threatening me with weapons, buying drugs, and having an affair. So, . what happened? The court gave her full ' custody of our children, and ordered me . to give her 60 percen't of my monthly · salary. When I tried;LO challenge the custody order, I was told I was jeopardizing R.

Polio has become less the ravager of young children since, but it still exists ~: - and kids still need their shots. Health officials report many of these diseases have the ability to kill people if left unchecked. Between 1989 and 1991, more than 150 people in the U.S. died from measles, while thousands more were permanently affected. Children in·our CO!lntry can still die from chickenpox. The effect of these diseases on the young, especially infants, is tremendous. The only way to check the invasion of serious illness in a child's life is to undergo immunization. Shots are required at several times within a child's early years, and parents are encouraged to take advantage of the numerpus immunization clinias now available through county health departments. This week, parents are reminded getting their children vaccinated is of critical importance. If we are to guarantee youngsters a healthy shot at life, they need a shot at least five times before age 2. Additionally, ~hildreil require vaccinations bf.tween ages 4 and 6, and again at 11 or 12.

For years, my wife hit me, spit in my face, threw things at me, and controlled my choice of friends, my money, and my life. After she threatened me with a knife, I went to the police. They laughed, and that was the end of it. I saw psycholqgists and marriage counselors, talked to my wife's parents, and tried antidepressants. When she threatened me 'with a knife a second time, I went to court to get a restraining order. The judge, a female, refused my request.! gave .up, and filed for divorce. At the trial, my wife admitted to hitting me, threatening me with weapons, buying drugs, and having an affair. So, . what happened?

Health officials report many of these diseases have the ability to kill people if left unchecked. Between 1989 and 1991, more than 150 people in the U.S. died from measles, while thousands more were permanently affected. Children in·our CO!lntry can still die from chickenpox. The effect of these diseases on the young, especially infants, is tremendous. The only way to check the invasion of serious illness in a child's life is to undergo immunization. Shots are required at several times within a child's early years, and parents are encouraged to take advantage of the numerpus immunization clinias now available through county health departments. This week, parents are reminded getting their children vaccinated is of critical importance. If we are to guarantee youngsters a healthy shot at life, they need a shot at least five times before age 2. Additionally, ~hildreil require vaccinations bf.tween ages 4 and 6, and again at 11 or 12.

B 6 .571 Baseball Looguo Amo~con "'' To start, anolher great comment from Oscar Wilde: "The old believe everylhing; the middleaged suspect everything; the young know everything." It is interesting how the middle-ag¢d always know much less lh'an they did when teenagers. Today, we take a second look at a middling responding hand. You have a balanced hand with no five-card suit, no shortage and no interest in the majors .. If partner opens one no-trump, your response is based purely on your high-card point-count. If he opens · a 15-17 no~lrump, you pass with up to eight points, raise to two notrump with nine, and jump to game with 10- 15 . Opposite a 1618 no-trump, these numbers become seven, eight and 9-14. As you will have determined, in this deal , South opened with a modem 15- 17 no-trump. How did he plan the play in three notrump- . after We st . had led the ·' ' heart seven? . · South saw six lop tricks : four spades, one heart and one diamond. He could establish the oth er three lrick s in clubs. Yet there was a risk that the opponents would get too many heart tricks when in with the club ace. · If the missing hearl s were breaking 4-3, there was no danger. But whal if they were 5-2? Then surely East had honor,doubleton. With a suil headed by the king, queen and jack, West would have led the king. Given that East had honor-doubleton, South won the first trick with dummy's ace. This· blocked the suit from the defenders' point of view. Then declarer played a club, eventually raking in an overtrick after a misdefense.

B 6 .571 Baseball Looguo Amo~con "'' To start, anolher great comment from Oscar Wilde: "The old believe everylhing; the middleaged suspect everything; the young know everything." It is interesting how the middle-ag¢d always know much less lh'an they did when teenagers. Today, we take a second look at a middling responding hand. You have a balanced hand with no five-card suit, no shortage and no interest in the majors .. If partner opens one no-trump, your response is based purely on your high-card point-count. If he opens · a 15-17 no~lrump, you pass with up to eight points, raise to two notrump with nine, and jump to game with 10- 15 . Opposite a 1618 no-trump, these numbers become seven, eight and 9-14. As you will have determined, in this deal , South opened with a modem 15- 17 no-trump. How did he plan the play in three notrump- . after We st . had led the ·' ' heart seven? . · South saw six lop tricks : four spades, one heart and one diamond. He could establish the oth er three lrick s in clubs. Yet there was a risk that the opponents would get too many heart tricks when in with the club ace. · If the missing hearl s were breaking 4-3, there was no danger. But whal if they were 5-2? Then surely East had honor,doubleton. With a suil headed by the king, queen and jack, West would have led the king. Given that East had honor-doubleton, South won the first trick with dummy's ace. This· blocked the suit from the defenders' point of view. Then declarer played a club, eventually raking in an overtrick after a misdefense.

" I definitely saw a bounce in the team's step after both Adanta and MartinsviUe," McReynolds said. "To be so close and know we had done a' good job was a consolation . . "It wasn't as good as a win would have been, but it was enough to know that someday, somewhere we're going to' get it aU together on the same day." That day almost came last Sun. day in TaUadega, A,la., when Skinner found himself on the rear bumper of three-time champion Jdf Gordon with five laps to go. Skinner tried several times to pass Gordon but couldn 't get around him. Skinner knew he could win by bumping Gordon out of the way. Plenty of drivers do ii, but Skinner refused. "I want to win my first race, but I don't want to get it because I knocked somebody out who had raced me clean aU day," Skinner said. . .He ended up with a career-best finish of second, 'and the admiration of Gordon, who beat him by two car-lengths for his 50th career victory. "Skinner is a gentleman and a clean racer," Gordon said. "I think it was either bump me or go to the grass. He could have done either to spin me out and he didn 't."

In men's basketball, 20 wins and a .500 record in a titajor co nference all but guarantee an invita tion into the NCAA's fi el d of 64. In baseball, the magic number is 40 wins. To eliminate all guesswork, a team can earn an automatic berth by winning a major conference's tournament title. It seems unlikely that the Buck"eyes - who started the week at 23- 14 - wiU suddenly reel off a long, long hot streak. They have lost five of their last seven games, have yet to win any of their three Big Ten series and still must play two of the top teams in the conference. Richard had won .his first race at a North Carolina dirt track in 1959. Race officials later changed their ruling and declared Lee the winner.

"Somehow, we've got to get our karma turned back around," Todd said. "Last week at Michigan, we hit the ball hard but seemed to always hit it right at people. We had g,ood enough pitching to win , but made a couple of bad pitches. We've been ranked among the top defensive teams in the nation, but we had some defensive lapses." As a result, the Buckeyes lost three of four at Michigan which started the weekend in last place in the Big Ten. · The players have not lowered their sights so much as smelled the coffee. "Realistically, the regular-season Big Ten championship appears to be out of reach," shortstop Trent Mcilvain said.

"FinaUy, he has gotten to the point in his career where he wants to know something different."
