A review of the development of . libraries in Meigs County was given by longtime library board member, Patricia Holter, at a recent meeting of Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter, Daughters .of the American Revolution. . Holter took the members from the early 1850s when each township had its own library, to the present district syslel!l of providing library service. ' · Holter not ~d ·that. copies of min- · utes from two meetings of the Pomeroy Library Board written in 1850's were found someti·me ago. The first libraries usually were located in the home ·of a township trustee. She ndted that her fam ily in Salem Center had the library in their ·home before the Civil War and a note in her family history records the fact that the llbrary in her family home received a copy of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" . . Local hi storia.ns have said the library system of Meigs County began at a 1895'meeting with donated books making up the collection. M,eigs County District Library Tru.stees are now appointed for seven year terms by the county commissioners and judges. Holter said the first recorded location of a library in Pomeroy was on the second flbor of village hall which stood beside the United Methodist Church. The second was a small structure immediately behind th~ Grace Epis- · copal Church, she said, while the third location was the Carnegie Library on Se'cond Street, built in 1914, and used until 1988. A Carnegie Library was also built in Middleport resulting from efforts in r By Bob Hoeflich Ben inay be gone b~t hi s tomatoes linger on. I write of the late Ben Quisenberry, Syracuse, who operated a small business in the former Syracuse Post Office for · many years. In that building he processed tomato seeds and printed his own seed packets· and seed lists on an ancient printing press in addition to carry ing out other business activities. Seed Savers Exchange in Decm:ah, Iowa is permanentl y maintaining Ben 's legacy of tomatoes. In the 1999 Exc~ange catalog there is a photograph of Ben, born Aug. 24, 1887, as well as a story about his tomato seed business. The catalog also lists H) varieties of Ben's tomatoes ~nd offers packets of seeds for each. The catalog states that Ben probably; was the oldest active seedsman in the United States until he entered a care facility at the age of %. Ben packaged and sold seeds for over 30 vari eties of tomatoes. In 1980 he was hospitalized for most of the summer and. lost all but nine of qis 32 tomato varieties An article on the loss of his seeds )Was published in Seed Savers 1981 Yearbook and members were able to .send in seeds ·for every one of Ben's tomatoes. This put him back in full business once again. The outgoing and personable Ben, whom many of you will remember, is quoted in the catalog saying: "Once a fellow from a television station asked me how I accounted for keeping active 95 years. I said to keep happy and to keep content, do something that's worthwhile. If )'OU have a hobby and you can make your hobby your business, you' re all the better off. Do something good- ! do marvel at myself sometimes, the way I keep going. Indeed, I do. I marvel at myself. I'm surprised sometimes how I can keep going from 7 until dark. About dark , I'm like the chickens. I hunt for my roost". Thahks to Mary Wise of Middleport for passing along a copy of the catalog. No question about it, Ben was a standout. .. If you were born on Feb. 29- that's in ·a leap year- you technically only have a birthday every four years. That can be an advantage and a disadvantage. Technically you're short on birthdays so you can pretend to be much younger than you are. On the other hand, it could make for a bit of a birthday present shortage. Betty Kern is one of those Feb. 29 people. Although she will be 75 this year, she's only had 18 birthdays with the 19th coming in the year 2000. Friends usually help Betty celehrate her birthday on Feb. 28, however, and communications will reach her at412210, SR 33, Shade, Ohio 45776. Of course, you can always give her a quick ring to wish her a happy birthday at 992-7764. · 19Q8 of interested Middleport citizens, led by Miss Emma Rowley, a teacher, who recommended to the school board a slate of citizens to serve as a library board. This building was completed in 1918 and is still in use. Holter pointed out that before 1966 the Pomeroy and Middleport Carnegie Libraries were called School District Libraries. In the 1930s, an intangible tax law was passed allotting a certain percent to · support libraries and was administered through the County Budget Commission. Holter ·said that when she joined the Library Board in 1968, the libraries were receiving on ly 55% of the intangible tax money. In 1980, she said, the Library jJ'rustees become a County Distric:IAiublic Library and asked for 100%. of the intangible tax. In 1986 the intangible tax was repealed. The State of Ohio now has income tax and a formula was structured to usc a percentage <;>r'that. It was set up to endow the poorer libraries to:bring them up to the standards of the larger metropolitan area libraries . For example, Holter said, in 1986 Meigs County's share of the intangible !•x was $65,800; last · year's budget · was well over $500,000. . In 1989, the Pomeroy Library moved to its fourth location on West Main Street. A feasibility study was done on the Carnegie Library building on Second Street. This study confirmed the decision that it was not feasible to use this facility to , meet the new standards set for library services. . The Meigs County District Library System has completed its third Branch Library with the Main Library located in Pomeroy, branches in Racine, Middleport, and Eastern Local Schools. With these newly completed branches, the system is capable of serving the entire county . of Meigs, Holter said. In 1%8, she continUed, ten counti~s went together to solicit Federal funding and to work together to create better library services. This orga- · nization, known as the Ohio Valley Area Libraries (OVAL) provided inner library loans, workshops for li]lrary directors, clerks and library trustees. This source also provided books when it to.ok advantage of a federal program in 1972 and became the only state funded area library system. OVAL also provided bookmobile and books by mail ·service with each. library paying a share of expenses.• The Bookmobile and the Books bi Mail services are being discontin~ ued. Books By Mail through OVAL· funding has come to a close. Both services proved too expensive tO: continue. ; Down Middleport way, Robert and Nancy Manley will be observing their 30th wedding anniversary on Feb. 22.

There's .plenty of evidence of turkey and deer among the grassy hills and wooded hollows that once were strip-mine land and have been reclaimed. The area also reportedly has a resident quail population as well, but few grouse. One hunter made the 120-mile trip from Columbus last month, and his dog flushed one grouse in two hours. The state of grouse huniing in Ohio is such that Steve Blake didn 't 'consider that a bad rate. · "It would have been nothi~g 10 years ago to get 20 flushes in a day," Blake said. "Now you hunt five pr six hours to get two or three flushes and maybe shoot one bird. That's sad, but that's the way it is." Grouse hunters have heard it before Ohio's young woods, most of which at one time were farmland, have matured. That's good for turkeys and bad for grouse. ,. The only other way to create grouse habitat is by logging, w~ich for some time now has been severely limited on large areas of public . .land. All this leads to days with plenty of walking, but not much shooting. · , "We may have the best they (grouse populations in Ohio) will ever.be," said Jerry Meyer, wildlife management supervisor for the Ohio Iii vision of Wildlife's southeast district.

NEW YORK (AP) ~ Children are tougher on President Clinton than their parents when it comes to the impeachment issue, according to a new poll done by the Nickelodeo.n network. • Fifty-two percent of children aged 8 lq 14 polled last weekend by Nickelodeon said Clinton should, have liee n removed from office following his . impeachment trial. · . Only 40 percent of parents surveyed by Nickelodeon believed that. " There. may be an attitude of 'If I do something bad and gel caught, I get punished.' It probably is just that simple, " said Linda Ellerbee, host of the Nick News program on the youth-oriented cable network . In another survey taken by Nickelodeon las.l September, only 26 percent of children and II percent of their parents said they wanted to see Clinton impeached and removed from office over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The poll also found that three,quarters of the children and their parents believe Clinton was an average or better president. That's similar to poll _ results from September and January 1998. · . Perhaps with an eye toward what Clinton has been through, 56 percent of the children surveyed said they were not interested in being president when 1 t tey grew up . Nickelodeo n polled 309 children and their parents The margi n for error was 5.5 percent. · · The "Gen. M.B.

Carl came in barking and got the bull away from me. It was one of the saddest days of my life when someone shot and killed ' old Carl, thinking he was the dog that had been killing some of our neighbors' sheep.

The theme for "China Beach " was "Reflections," by Diana Ross and The Supremos. " Tour o{ Duty" aired on CBS from 1987 to 1990, while "China'Beach" was an ABC show in the 1988to·1991 seasons.

In a list ·of programs deemed "family-unfriendly," the group includes "Spin City" because it "condones casual sex and the homosexual lifestyle." One scene criticized by the group shows an unmarried couple having sex, with a condom package visible.

' Section 0· Sund8y, Feb"*Y 21,1111 tax sensitivity .. . · · . · GALiill'OLIS- Tax sensitivity can come in se"eral guises. Most of us thin"-. of income tax when we talk about reducing our tax biltden. We th'ink about paying less taxes on interest, dividends· and capital gains. Investors with estates of $650,000 or more ,lso should be thinldng reducing gift and eslate iaxes. . · As April 15 approaches, we are especially sensitized ip iax-related concerns: Now is the time to educate yourself on some of the tax-saving so!utions you may noi haye yet considered. Following are SOI)IC income, gift and estate tax reduction ideas for you to consider. Cbariljlble Gifts: These are terrific for creating lax ,'deductions. Maximize your donation by making outright gift~ of appreciated securities or other assets. This is a better alternative to using income or cash to make charitable gifts. · Charitable Remainder Trusts: This type of investment allows you to have your cake and eat it, too. First, . you receive a tax deduction at the time the trust is c·reat,ed, and then you still receive an income stream for life. or course, the deduction will be less than if you gave the funds outright, but, often the income stream from .the trust will be greater than was being generated by the contributed assets. You can use sorne of the income to make gifts to irrevocable life insurance trusts. You win with a current income tax deduction; you also win with an increased income stream. And the icing ,on the cake: your heirs .receive an inheritance witho~' having t9 contribute a major slice to the federal government. Private or Family Foundation: Whether gifts are made in trust o~ outright, a great charity for you to consider is 'your very own private or family foundation. This allows the money to stay under the control of the family so that its priotities are the ones addressed in an ongoi.ng gifting pro·gram. The Federal Unified Gift and Eslate Tax: Encourages gifts during lifetime rather tban waiting to pass rour assets upon death. In fact, the gift taxes cal' be as much as 30 percent less than the estate taxes for the same amount received by your heifll. Grantor Rdalned IntertSt Trust (GRIT): You can amplify your gift tax even further by using certain trusts to reduce the value of gifts for IRS purposes. The Grantor Retained Interest Trust is an excellent example which comes in annuity (GRA1) and unitrwrt (GRUT) versions. With these trusts, the taxpayer receives a variable or fixed amount from' the trust for a fixed period of time, and then the assets in the trust go to the heirs. Because the gift \viii not go to the heifll until some time in the future, the IRS allows a·discount of the gift. That is, the tax payable is on this lesser amount, not on the amount that was placed in the trust. Even if the amount of the trust appreciates in value, there will be no additional tax to the recipient of the gift nor · of t.he donor. . Cbaritable Lead TruSt: This is the charitable version . of the. Grantor Retained Interest Trust, wherein payments go to one or more charities during the fixed term rather than to the taJ<payer. This is a great way to combine gifting assets to your heirs while supporting the charities, schools or religious organizatibns that you normally support annually anyway. Of course, you should never gift away more than is needed to provide yo~ with the sense of financial security you need. You should als<i seek the guidance and counsel of your tax advisor before making any of these types of investments. Now that you are tax sensitized, act. Now is a great tiine to think about doing the best you can for yourself, your family and your charitable endeavors. . (Bryce L.

Barney Frank of Massachusetts criticized Starr's answer to a question from Frank about alleged grand jury leaks from Starr's office. The questioning occurred last Nov. 19 as the committee was considering impeaching Pre·sident Clinton on the basis of Starr's report about hi s liaison with fanner White House intern Monica Lewinsky. "Given the way. Mr. Starr has treated people who have gotten in his way in this i,nvestigation ... if he were investi gating himself in this matter he would have almost certainly charged himself with perjury," Frank said Friday. " I do not wish 10 follow Mr. Starr's example of using perjury as a political tool. Bull do think ... his dtsregard of the truth in testifying under oa th ... directly relevant to his fitness to com.inue as independent co unsel." On Friday, Frank released hi s Feb. II letter to Reno. Meantime, Justice Department offic ial s continued to weigh how to proceed with an investigation of Starr's Lewinsky probe. Justice officials wrote Starr recently stating their intention to launch such an inquiry- hut have held off beginning it pending resolution of issues raised by his response, officials have said. Questioning whether the Justice Department should be investigating him, Starr has proposed that an outside counsel handle the inquiry rather than the department's internal watchdog agency, the Office of Professional Responsibility. It was learned tl\at the consideration of Starr's demand for an outside counsel is sti ll in a preliminary stage !n the depannu;nt. lhe Independent Counsel Act gives Reno authority to remove Starr for good cause and requires her 10 explain her reasons in writing to Congress. Some department officials have argued that implies that she has authority to investigate Starr. On Thursday, Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder said, "We would leave all of our options open as to who might do such an investigation if one were to be done." Reno herself has been out of the country all week on official trips to Mexico and South Africa and has not been able to meet with Starr to discuss the matter, as he requested, it was learned. Last Friday, Holder met with Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who backed Starr's bid for an outside investigator. Holder told Hatch the department was trying ·to reach an accommodation with Starr, according to people familiar with the closed-door meetmg. Starr has suggested former Carter administration Attorney Genera l Griffin Bell as a possible candidate for the job, The New York Tim es reported Friday. Publicly, no one in the department or Starr 's offi ce would address the ~75- t365. Yard Sale Public Notice By order of tho Board of Park Comloolonera of the 0. 0 .
