REED SENTINEL NEWS STAFF WILKESV ILLE - Southern .Ohio Coal Co. followed through with a layoff last Friday, but 25 fewer employees are unemployed due to the layoffs than were originally anticipated . Meanwhile, a spokesman for AE P Fuel Supply, the parent company of SOCCO, said Monday the layoffs are more a routine management action than a sigu that the mines are being phased out. Jeff Rennie said the layoffs, fi rst announced in January, were originally to have claimed 70 jobs, but once the dust settled on Fr iday, only 32 miners were laid off, while nine others opted for retirement and " a generous severance package." The layoffs were to have affected both miners affili ated with the United Mine Workers os weB as a number of salaried employees, but arrangements ·were made with salaried workers who chose to retire and accept severanc;e, R ennie said . "We surveyed the work force, and found a number of salaried employees who were eli~ gible to retire and interested in doing so, so no salari ed employees were actuall y laid off Friday," R ennie said. T he 41 UMWA members were laid off based on seniority, l~nni e said, but the loss of those mining j obs should not be seen as an indication that the mines will close any sooner thm the Dec. 31 , 2001 closing date, which SOCCO has maintained for the past few years.

ReUse Industries handles building materi als, appliances, household items, furni shings, equipment, lumber, hardware, and any other reusable with life left in i-t. Items donated to R eUse Industries are cleaned, stored, repaired, and sold to busi nesses, agencies, and the public for reuse. In doing this, ReUse Industries helps protect t he environment and create j obs in the community, according to Dietsch. ' . Council endorsed a reuse policy for city government that would encourage all city offices to: • Reuse materials within th eir office whenever possible and appropriate; • Share unwanted surplus materials with other offices of village government whenever possible and appropriate; • Before disposing items as garbage, make th em available, whenever possible or appropriat_e, to other government agencies, to schools and other publicly supported institutions, and to local non-profit organizations. R eUse Industries will have regular pick- up sites and times for individuals wanting to donate the reusables. Mayor John Blaettnar discusse.d Census 2000 with council and indicated that the the village should, in fact, take its own census. ' The 1990 census did Pomeroy a great disservice," said Blaettnar. Blaettnar suggested that water meter readers could possibly obtain the local census information. Meter readers would explain to citizens what they we.re doing and hopefully obtain the information that the village needs. "We desperately need this information to apply for federal grant money," said Councilman Jon Musser. "Perhaps we could obtairi water department addressing materials, whi ch would be the cheapest way. If people don't respond we could then possibly go door-todoor." Council decided t~ accept this proposal as an important one and will continue to discuss it at a later meeting. Blaettnar said that the information would probably not be gathered until sometime during the summer months. Council heard from Sarah Fisher, who represents the Pomeroy Merchants Association: Fisher cqmplained of dogs loitering around the stage located in the Pomeroy parking lot. .......... Po•••.,. ,...

"Plus, a lot more people can get to top scale this way than just waiting around to get older, which will attract new teachers," Beck ·said. . · Under the new system, teachers Will be rated in 16 areas, with principals and master teachers providing reviews at least every five years. Teachers would be placed in five categories, depending upon 'their reviews: A teacher in the lowest category would make $30,000, '\vhile one at the top would make $62,500.

"This year's theme is all about optimism and faith in the future. It's an opportunity to recognize the co ntributions of the past, and build upon them for a safer tomorrow," Lyons Said. "Surprisingly, few individuals understand how an EMS system Works or what role our agency plays in the community," Lyons said. "This job is different from any other job you can have," Lyons said . "You are under tremendous pressure. You have to react quickly. You have to make flawless de cisions. A lot of people don't have a clue as to what EMS providers do and how fat their services reach into the community."

Councilman David BaUard voting against the creation of the clerk's position. Council authorized purchase of three concrete picnic tables, six wooden picnic tables, several charcoal . grills and three trash · containers for the Waterworks Park.

Councilman Victor Young Ill questioned the mandatory 2. hour parking limit ordinance that is instituted throughout the village. Young said that individuals who work downtown are filling up all of the parking places and that shoppers have no place to park. The village now levies a $2 fine for overtime parking violations. "People who work downtown should park in the Pomeroy parking lot," said Young. "Doing this would keep traffic moving and parking meters open." Young then suggested that parking tickets be increased to $5 . to help alleviate the meter problem. Council also proposed the ordering of different colr .•1 parking tickets to indicate the severity of the parking fine. Council will again consider and possibly amend the parking tiCket ordinance at the next meeting. Young also reminded council of the no-burning ~rdinance that is instituted throughout the village . Young said that brush fire season is underway and that the Pomeroy Police Department has had to warn several individuals about burning within the village limits. · Council approved the transfer of $60,000 from the general fund into the Street Department account, because of a depleted balance.

And McCain's six repetitions of the phrase "I endorse Governor Bush" came more in mock~' ery of media questioning· than as emphasis of his dedication to 13ush's election. McCain allies say he has not yet gotten over the thrill of the campaign trail. He has to halfhope that Bush loses in November so he qn run again . He'll be 68 in.2004, so that probably will be his last chance to be president. Despite hi< protestations that he does not want to be asked to be Bush's vice presidential running mate, some McCain allies think that if Bush said; '1ohn, I need you. I really want you;' McCain would accept. '1ohn has never said anything to this effect;' said one adviser. "I'm reading body language. l3ut he never says in a meeting, 'We've got to absolutely shut this down.' Instead, he asks for . advice on how to handle the question." · The chances of Bush's offering McCain the nomination are next to nil, though. Bush values loyalty above almost every other political virtue, and McCain's chief characteristic is his inde. pendence, not his followenhip. Party pros close to the Bush campaign think it's mQre likely B,ush would pick a McCain backer like Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., or S-en. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., rather than McCain himself, -although Hagel comes from a small state and Thompson may not please conservatives. There are no obvious veep f:r.:.orites on the Republican side nmvadays. Sen. Connie Mack, Fla., has said in nearly Shermanesque terms that he wouldn't accept the nomination. Former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, who's incharge of vetting candidates, says he can't leave. his business and votes in Texas, disqualifYing him from the ticket. Pennsylvania Gov. Thm Ridge, a pro-choice ·. Catholic, may have muffed his chances by calling for repeal of the anti-abortion plank in the GOP platform, which Bnsh wants to keep. Ridge is barred by his bishop qom making speeches or appearances on church property, which Rel?ublican pios say could affect Bush's already~shaky position among Catholic voters. Rep. John Kasich, ·Ohio, is a swing-state Catholic whom Bush has come to like, but some ex- House colleagues say his excitable, ways may give him a "gravitas problem." Anoth~~ er Catholic, Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, is~ close to Bush, but likely would attract mainly; ·conservatives already in Bush's camp, not mod~; erates and independents. Sen.

John McCain, RAriz., of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, R, does cement party unity and remove a distraction from Bush's presidential campaign. The linkup should have happened a lot sooner - and would have, according to advisers to both men, if Bush had called McCain right after the primaries instead of depending on intermediaries .to patch up their differences. Instead of salving wounds, GOP pros say, the go-betweens - even well-meaning ones like former Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan. - delayed a rapprochement. Meantime, super-loyalists on each-side created friction. Bush aides accused McCain of refusing to accept defeat. McCain aides couldn't get over the fact that they were beat<rn and stoked McCain's lasting anger over low blows leveled at him by the Bush cat)lpaign in South Carolina. and New York. "Both these guys are pretty macho," said one McCain ally. '"Neither one w.J)lted to be seen as weak.AndJoh,n thought Bmh was weak for not reaching out." McCain aidos say that what softened the mood and contributed to last Tuesday's · endorsement was a pair of phone calls Bush made on Sunday, May 7 - one, 10 minutes long, that Bush had with McCain's 14-year-old son when the senator wa.<n't home, and the second with McCain himselflastingjnst rwo minutes. · McCain said at their joint press conference that he wonld "enthusiastically" campaign for Bush, but it isn't clear what that rneans. McCain has a full schedule of campaign stops for GOP House candidates, hi.s aides say. Of course, that doesn't preclude hearty praise for Bush - or more i1')1portantly, hearty blasts at Vice President AI Gore- bnt the vibes given off by McCain last Tuesday suggest that he is some distance from ·being fully engaged on Bush's behalf. · '"We are in agreement on more issues than we are in disagreement:' was not e><actly a ring.

The tri-county region, li'e many areas of the country, will contribute its share to the cancer rate. As much as health officials trumpet the need for prevention, early detection and treatment, the ability of people in low-income areas to meet those conditions is limited. Awareness of cancer and its causes has increased immeasurably over the years. Americans are probably better informed about the disease than ever. Aside from the usual villain associated with causing cancer- smoking- health experts are. focusing on diet. Impressing the need for proper nutrition has been emph~sized for years, although locally, proper diet remains a problem for many receiving assistance or coping with low wages. · Diet, physical exercise and a moderate lifestyle are among the ways we can combat the onset of cancer. That is, if we only heed the warnings - and if it's within the means of the nation's disenfranchised.

Testing for such cancer at certain ages is also vitaL "The findings of this report underscore the need to improve rates of colorectal cancer screening. This is one cancer where screening early has benefits by saving lives," said Dr. James Marks, chief of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. This is all excellent advice, yet for those without health benefits, a visit to the doctor is one of .t hose things that is either delayed or forgotten. The same goes for nutritional issues. The standard of living has not improved for many tri-county resc idents. It isn't likely to until the question of affordable health care is addressed for Appalachia.

His sister, however, fi nds it upsetting. Selma says it takes away fro m the time Stan should be spending with her son. I should tell you that Selma is divorced, and her ex-husband is nowhere i(l sight. ' She has been found guilty of child neglect, and her son is a mess.

I' don't mind if he helps his nephew, but it shouldn't take the place of time spent with my boys, who will soon be Stan's stepsons.

And McCain's six repetitions of the phrase "I endorse Governor Bush" came more in mock~' ery of media questioning· than as emphasis of his dedication to 13ush's election. McCain allies say he has not yet gotten over the thrill of the campaign trail. He has to halfhope that Bush loses in November so he qn run again . He'll be 68 in.2004, so that probably will be his last chance to be president. Despite hi< protestations that he does not want to be asked to be Bush's vice presidential running mate, some McCain allies think that if Bush said; '1ohn, I need you. I really want you;' McCain would accept. '1ohn has never said anything to this effect;' said one adviser. "I'm reading body language. l3ut he never says in a meeting, 'We've got to absolutely shut this down.' Instead, he asks for . advice on how to handle the question." · The chances of Bush's offering McCain the nomination are next to nil, though. Bush values loyalty above almost every other political virtue, and McCain's chief characteristic is his inde. pendence, not his followenhip. Party pros close to the Bush campaign think it's mQre likely B,ush would pick a McCain backer like Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., or S-en. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., rather than McCain himself, -although Hagel comes from a small state and Thompson may not please conservatives. There are no obvious veep f:r.:.orites on the Republican side nmvadays. Sen. Connie Mack, Fla., has said in nearly Shermanesque terms that he wouldn't accept the nomination. Former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, who's incharge of vetting candidates, says he can't leave. his business and votes in Texas, disqualifYing him from the ticket. Pennsylvania Gov. Thm Ridge, a pro-choice ·. Catholic, may have muffed his chances by calling for repeal of the anti-abortion plank in the GOP platform, which Bnsh wants to keep. Ridge is barred by his bishop qom making speeches or appearances on church property, which Rel?ublican pios say could affect Bush's already~shaky position among Catholic voters. Rep. John Kasich, ·Ohio, is a swing-state Catholic whom Bush has come to like, but some ex- House colleagues say his excitable, ways may give him a "gravitas problem." Anoth~~ er Catholic, Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, is~ close to Bush, but likely would attract mainly; ·conservatives already in Bush's camp, not mod~; erates and independents. Sen.

John McCain, RAriz., of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, R, does cement party unity and remove a distraction from Bush's presidential campaign. The linkup should have happened a lot sooner - and would have, according to advisers to both men, if Bush had called McCain right after the primaries instead of depending on intermediaries .to patch up their differences. Instead of salving wounds, GOP pros say, the go-betweens - even well-meaning ones like former Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan. - delayed a rapprochement. Meantime, super-loyalists on each-side created friction. Bush aides accused McCain of refusing to accept defeat. McCain aides couldn't get over the fact that they were beat<rn and stoked McCain's lasting anger over low blows leveled at him by the Bush cat)lpaign in South Carolina. and New York. "Both these guys are pretty macho," said one McCain ally. '"Neither one w.J)lted to be seen as weak.AndJoh,n thought Bmh was weak for not reaching out." McCain aidos say that what softened the mood and contributed to last Tuesday's · endorsement was a pair of phone calls Bush made on Sunday, May 7 - one, 10 minutes long, that Bush had with McCain's 14-year-old son when the senator wa.<n't home, and the second with McCain himselflastingjnst rwo minutes. · McCain said at their joint press conference that he wonld "enthusiastically" campaign for Bush, but it isn't clear what that rneans. McCain has a full schedule of campaign stops for GOP House candidates, hi.s aides say. Of course, that doesn't preclude hearty praise for Bush - or more i1')1portantly, hearty blasts at Vice President AI Gore- bnt the vibes given off by McCain last Tuesday suggest that he is some distance from ·being fully engaged on Bush's behalf. · '"We are in agreement on more issues than we are in disagreement:' was not e><actly a ring.

The tri-county region, li'e many areas of the country, will contribute its share to the cancer rate. As much as health officials trumpet the need for prevention, early detection and treatment, the ability of people in low-income areas to meet those conditions is limited. Awareness of cancer and its causes has increased immeasurably over the years. Americans are probably better informed about the disease than ever. Aside from the usual villain associated with causing cancer- smoking- health experts are. focusing on diet. Impressing the need for proper nutrition has been emph~sized for years, although locally, proper diet remains a problem for many receiving assistance or coping with low wages. · Diet, physical exercise and a moderate lifestyle are among the ways we can combat the onset of cancer. That is, if we only heed the warnings - and if it's within the means of the nation's disenfranchised. One of the more common ·cancers attacks the colon and rectum, and this is where waiching what we e1tt and how we live is important. Testing for such cancer at certain ages is also vitaL "The findings of this report underscore the need to improve rates of colorectal cancer screening. This is one cancer where screening early has benefits by saving lives," said Dr. James Marks, chief of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. This is all excellent advice, yet for those without health benefits, a visit to the doctor is one of .t hose things that is either delayed or forgotten. The same goes for nutritional issues. The standard of living has not improved for many tri-county resc idents. It isn't likely to until the question of affordable health care is addressed for Appalachia.

More than 1,000 mourners joined the Petty family Monday to pay their respects to 19-yearold Adam Petty, a fourth-generation driver whose last name is synonymous with stock-car racing. Petty, son of Kyle Perry and grandson of Richard, was killed Friday when his Chevrolet crashed into a wall during practice. for the Busch 200 at New Hampshire International Speedway. .

At a memorial service Monday at High Point University, the Petty family's pastor, Dou.- glas Carty, related his memori~ of Adam. "From the time he was a little kid, I can remember that all he Wanted to do was race," Carcy quoted Adam's 18-year-old brother, Austin, as saying. "He wante~ to grow up and be a race car driver, just like my daddy." Kyle and his wife, Patti, held hands and sobbed quiedy, their eyes hidden by sunglasses, as they led family members into the university gymnasium. Adam's crew ntemben wore dar~ polo shirts with his car number, 45, embroidered on the sleeves. Joining the Petrys at the memorial service were several NASCAR stars, including Bobby Allison, Ward Burton, Bill Elliott, Dale Jarrett and Bobby and Terry Labonte.

Opening lead: • A The biggest drawback with bridge, as you are well aware, is that the basics fill a 200-page book. It takes a long time to get up and running, so that you do the "simple" things without thinking. Still, if you have card sense, are observant, and have a reliable short-term memory, you will get 'there. And once you have the basics straight, your game will improve very quickly. . In today's deal, the declarer . · was Ethel Lindsey, of Palm Beach, Fla. She had been playing for only four months, and a busy veterinary and tennis schedule leaves her .little spare time for bridge ..(Yes, she should get her sport priorities correct.) Still, in this deal, despite making a response that isn't recommended by the textbooks, she didn't lake her eye off the ball and got home in her four-heart comract. If. you . make a two-level response in the suit direclly under partner's, you promise at least a five-can! suit. Here, South should respond two diamonds. True, North's four-heart rebid wouldn't win universal approval. Probably, most would select two spades, j\ hich is forcing for one round, planning to bid four hearts next . Still, four hearts.raled to be a sane comract. ·West began with three rounds of diamonds. Ethel opted 10 ruff with dummy) heart king, but then guessed well by playing off her ace and queen to drop West's jack. Then she cashed the heart nine and seven \remembering dummy had the eLght) to draw East's remaining trumps. This left Ethel with I 0 tricks: two spades, four hearts, one diamond, two clubs ·and the diamond ruff in the dummy. · j JOIIph 22 Smoll oalllng (etretched) t.larqule de - I Kane" ector, Amoz 11 -out 12 •• 19 Repent 21 " CHI..n East Pass All pass To get a current weather report, check the •Wednesday, May 17, 2000 •, • 7' PEOPLES SECURrrY'S, .UNITED FINANCIAL SERVICES Toll Free: 877-457·8904 Local773·5011 .

Opening lead: • A The biggest drawback with bridge, as you are well aware, is that the basics fill a 200-page book. It takes a long time to get up and running, so that you do the "simple" things without thinking. Still, if you have card sense, are observant, and have a reliable short-term memory, you will get 'there. And once you have the basics straight, your game will improve very quickly. . In today's deal, the declarer . · was Ethel Lindsey, of Palm Beach, Fla. She had been playing for only four months, and a busy veterinary and tennis schedule leaves her .little spare time for bridge ..(Yes, she should get her sport priorities correct.) Still, in this deal, despite making a response that isn't recommended by the textbooks, she didn't lake her eye off the ball and got home in her four-heart comract. If. you . make a two-level response in the suit direclly under partner's, you promise at least a five-can! suit. Here, South should respond two diamonds. True, North's four-heart rebid wouldn't win universal approval. Probably, most would select two spades, j\ hich is forcing for one round, planning to bid four hearts next . Still, four hearts.raled to be a sane comract. ·West began with three rounds of diamonds. Ethel opted 10 ruff with dummy) heart king, but then guessed well by playing off her ace and queen to drop West's jack. Then she cashed the heart nine and seven \remembering dummy had the eLght) to draw East's remaining trumps. This left Ethel with I 0 tricks: two spades, four hearts, one diamond, two clubs ·and the diamond ruff in the dummy. · j JOIIph 22 Smoll oalllng (etretched) t.larqule de - I Kane" ector, Amoz 11 -out 12 •• 19 Repent 21 " CHI..n East Pass All pass To get a current weather report, check the •Wednesday, May 17, 2000 •, • 7' PEOPLES SECURrrY'S, .UNITED FINANCIAL SERVICES Toll Free: 877-457·8904 Local773·5011 .

Edgar Martinez hit two homers and drove in five runs, and Sele pitched seven scoreless inning.; in Seattle's 14-0 win over the Min- Knight fromPapBI coach differently," Fresno State coach Jerry Tarkaman said. ''H e can still (challenge) players and be intense. I }ust take it to mean he can 't do any choke holds or body slams," said Northwostern Coach Kevin O'Nei ll , who beheves Knight will learn from this experience, but isn't li kely to change his coachmg sryle. BL1t experts in anger management are dubiou s about Knights abili ty to refo rm his volatile personaliry at age 59. " I think what I'm seei ng in his behavior is that he feels ge nuinely remorseful for his behavior, . bu r the test will be how well he can manage his anger in the future ," said Dennis Marikis, an anger management consultant in Ohio. "The real test will be six lnonths from now when he's got his team behind closed doors. I think that's when thing.; change." Indiana psychology professor David Pisoni remains skepticaL . "It's very difficult for people to change their behaviors for many years," Pisoni said. Indianapolis sports psychologist Greg Hale would have liked to have seen Knight take more responsibility for his behavior. · "He didn't acknowledge some of the wrong.;. He just said, 'I'll do .better.' In just the same way he'd expect his players to accept responsibiliry for an erram pass or not blocking out, I'd expect him to take responsibility." Trustee Stephen Backer said that "ineffective action taken in the past regarding Knight's behavior" over his 29-year career ad<;led to the problem. "I think that the coach has to definitely learn ho\v to cpntrol his anger, and he may need co seek outside help to do that," Backer said. " I think all of us hope coach Knight can change his behavior and live within the guidelines that we have se t for him." Some fans doubt he can. " You can write rhis down : Bobby Knight will not be there in two years," said Dwight Pinner, 40. a lab -technician for Eli lilly .and Co. " He's not going to change. It's ,not in him. There is no justifica;ion fo r his behavior," sa id Sophia Massey, 33, a nurse. nesota Twins on Monday night. The Mariners jumped to a 9-0 lead after three inning.;, and the 14 runs were the most they've scored at Safeco Field, the $517.6 million stadium they moved into last July 15 "When you do get early leads, it makes tt nice," said Sele (3-2), The investigation, which Brand claimed was exhaustive and thorough, concluded that Knight didn't choke former player Neil Reed but did grab him by the throat in ·an inappropriate manner. It found that there was not enough evidence, only the te stimony of two or three witnesses, to support the allegation about the soiled toilet paper. Martinez is not so young anymore. But the Mariners' 37-yearold designated hitter is off to a sizzling start, leading the team with 41 RB!s while hitting .351 with 10 homers. · "Sometimes when you get alit~ de older, you wonder if you can still do it," Martinez said. "This makes you feel like you can play for a few more years." Alex Rodriguez also homered for the Mariners, who returned from a 2- 5 road trip that knocked them out of first place in the AL West. Red Sox 8, Blue jays 1 Pete Schourek allowed four hits m eight ittning.; and kept Toronto from homering at SkyDome for signed in the offseason as a free agent. "I felt good enough to fin ish it, and my pitch count was low, but we had some guys in the bullpen who needed some work ." It was Minnesota's worst loss of the season. The Twins losr 13-4 co Boston on April 11. "It was a bad day for us," Twins manager Tom Kelly said. "We haven't go t knocked around all year. Maybe we were due for our knock~rownd ti1ne." ' M artinez hit a two- run homer in the third inning to give Seattle a 7-0 lead and added a three-run shot in the fifth. ''I'm not surprised at anything Edgar does," manager lou PinielIJ said. " He's a strong young man ." Yet therr was en ough m tht" for our lives again. But history tells ~''" we 're going to come out aggressive. For some reason, were ~ better tea!n when we're up 3-2 than when it's 3- 1." . Bird, who will step down as coach at the end of the playoffs win or lose - would not blame the loss on Miller's absence "Reggie helped us with the first wins, but we had some break4owns tonight. We came out and lost our confidence," Bird said. "It's easy to lay the blame on someone, but it was all of us.'' No team has, ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a bestef-seven NBA series. , "The pressure is kind of on those guys," said Allen Iverson, who had 31 points for Philadel~hia. "Everybody expected they would beat us. When it comes down to talent iri this league, we're not at the top .. . but we have more heart than anybody else in the league. : "We really feel like we've got a shot We're going to· bring our ' {\' .:game, and for them to get out of ~here with a win , they're definitely going to have co bring their 'A' gan1e." . The 76er5 hit seven of their first eight shots and >ook a 15-0.lead. " You hope to get a good start, bm there's no way in the world I imagined we 'd get off to that lead," Brown said. " I know they lost a great player. Yuu o n't tH.lke Jose Canseco, Jose Guillen al)d Gerald Williams homered for the Devil Rays. Athletics 6, Royals 3 Randy Velarde, Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez · homered in a five-run sixth inning to back the strong pitching of Mark Mulder for host Oakland. Ben Grieve also homered for the A's, who won for the sixth time in seven games to maintain their hold on first place in the AL ' ' West.

In addition to the suspension and fine, Knight must issue an apology to the athletic department secretary he berated and threatened in two incidents. Knight was not asked to apologtze to Reed. "Any failure on Coach Knight's part to mee t these standards will be cause for further sanctions, up to and including termination," Brand said. · The investigation followed accusations by Reed, who said Knight choked him during a practice that was caught on videotape.

PleaH 1H Senlon, Pqe AJ POMEROY •- The emer" at Vetet:ans Memorgency room ial Hospital will dose at 12:01 a.m. on June 1. That announcement ca me Tuesday from CEO Bob Bowers, . who said that closing the ER a month earlier than had been planned is necessary because . of inadequate staffing. Before the March pril)lary, when voters were asked to pass a 4-rnill levy to support the two departments - which had a projected loss this year of $800,000 - Bowers had said that the acute care unit and the emergency room woUld close no later than July 1 if voters chose not to financially support the operation. · The levy failed and when nurses began to leave the hospital for other jobs, inadequate staffing made it necessary to dose the a.eute care unit on April 22 . The same has happened in the ER. · "The decision to dose tile emergency room has been made reluctandy, but cannot provide quality nursing care after that date due to resignations of nursing staff," Bowers said Tues- we day. He said various avenues have been explored in the hope of corning up with some solutions. He noted .that the hospital, through th e Ohio Department of Health, did initial studies for Critical Access as a potential "savior" of the emergenc,y room and acute care. ' However, he said that with "current legislation for Critical Access wh ere it is in the. State of Ohio, even if M edicare and Medicaid were to be involved, the · losses which the hospital would incur for the emergency room would still be in excess of $400,000 a year for the total organization." Bowers noted that as of June 1, the services that will remain at VMH are long-term care, , behavioral health unit, the rural health clinic and the hom e health deparrmenf. He said that an analysis of those services indicate that there will be a positive bottom line, "not significant, but enough so that services can be continued ." Asked about how mariy people will be affected by the layoffs/terrnin1tions, Bowers said th~t by th e end of September, "there is a potential that 41 will be affected." ' "We will retainapproximate- . ly 85 full time equivalents after the initial layoffs / termination of employees;' the CEO said. However, Bowers explained, .those who are laid off' will · be considerably less than . that PleaH 1H ER. Pap AJ State lawmakers will propose tax-cut package •' COlUMBUS (AP) - Ohioans would pay fewer property and estate taxes under proposed legislation--set to be. introduced. Currently, the state pays 12 112 pen::ent personal property taxes. Under the proposed legislation, the state's share would increase to 16 percent, said Sen. Bruce Johnson, a Westerville Republican. The proposal, that was to be introduced Wednesday, would allo eliminate ,the state's share of the estate tax up to the federal exemption.' It also would allow local ~vern­ ments to collect their share of the taX on - money left when people die. The federal exemption covers estates valued at $615,000 or less. 'fhe proposed legislation would also exempt estates valued at about $50,000 or under from filing returns. The current exemption is $25,000. The source of the money would be the state's lncon'te Tax Reduction Fund. This of ••• fund annually returns excess revenue to Ohioans through a temporary rax cut. Johnson ·said the property rax reduction addresses issues raised by the Ohio 'Supreme Court in last week's school-funding decision. The 4-3 ruling declared Ohio's system for paying for public education pnconstitutional. It said the state has made progress on fixing the system but an overreliance on lo£al propetty caxes remains. The proposed tax-cut legislation is "a first step toward cesponding to the court's concerns, and it returns money that's going back to taxpayers .that the state doesn't need;' Johnson said. · As part of tax-cut negotiations Tuesday, the Senate Fina'rlce Conunittee recommended passage of th e state's St.S billion construction budget without a rax-cut proposal approved by the House lase.week. · That proposal would have guar:inteed an income tax cut of at least 5 percent if the tax The Finance Committee unanimously reduction fund took in $380 million above recommended the construction budget after turning away several amendn1ents offeRd by estimated revenue projections. If lawmakers don't act before summer, the minority Democrats.The bill was due for a temporary fund will be off-limits, said vote' by the full Senate on Wednesday, which House Speaker Jo Ann Davidso n, a would send it back to d1e House.
