Jerry Luebbers, D-Cincinnati, attempted to sidestep federal court rulings on abortion with a bill crcating the offense of "partial birth infanticide." The bill, introduced in lhe Ohio Hoose Thul!lctay, would impose civil and criminal penalties for causing the partial birth of a child for the purpose of killing ii. The bill is co-sponsored by a ·majority of the 99-member House. Luebbers did not return a phone call to his Columbus office Friday, but supporters of the legislation say there is a clear legal distinction between the slate's authority to stop infanticide and its ability to regulate abortions.

Don't expect the results of this .new study to get anything like the publicity given to the now debunked '93 story. The effort to blame religion for violent acts against someone because of race or because the victim is homoseKual is quite a stretch. Andrea Sheldon of Traditional Values Coalition testified on April 20 before the House H&HS and Education Subcom- · mittee as follows: "'The liberal elite grasps for every straw and attempts to use it to ,demonize religious people lind. their institutions. Most of this effort is focused on evangelical Christians. We do not believe that the free exercise of religion threatens the frt'.edom of anyqne. We believe that any law which starts classifying crimes by mot.ives opens a new and dangerous dOO[ for the government to punish beliefs-criminalize thoughts-and create a new criminal class as well as a new victim class." In an inlloduction to the Justice Department's "Hoaliilg the Hate", a middle school curriculum for educators, President Clinton stated: "Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense ·of religious or political conviction, are no different" (from other prejudices such as race). • · · In this curriculum, under the section Perpetrators of KANAUGA- Phillip E.

As a part of that agenda, Governor Taft has proposed the creation of a single, statewide work force development system. This system will be accomplished by merging the Ohio Department of Human Services with the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services: The new agency, to begin operation in July 2000, will be called the .Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The goal of the agency will be to provide maximum results for employers seeking qualified workers and Ohioans seeking first Jobs, new jobs or better jobs. Due to Ohio's innovative welfare reform, · thousands of ·Ohioans already have dramatically improved their lives by moving from welfare to work.

In March of 1998, six prisoners broke out of the Corrections Corporation of America's private prison in Youngstown, Ohio. Five of the escapees were murderers. Amazingly, the breakout took place m broad daylight. The guards were unaware of what was going o~· even though the inmates escaped by cuttmg a huge hole m the chain link fence surrounding the prison. It could have been an even greater disaster because two hundred other prisoners were in the yard at the time of the breakout. Thankfully, they weren 't able to get through the fence before prison officials realized there was a problem. But, the escape never should have happened in the first place. I believe this wouldn't have happened at one of ?ur . public prisons, where public safety, not pnvate profit, IS the pnmary concern. The disaster in Youngstown prompted the U.S. .Justice Department to launch an investigation, which produced a sc~thing report. Th_e report concluded in its overview that the Youngstown pnson sufferedsenous breaches in security: The [Youngstown prison] has experienced pi~otal failures in i~ ~ecurity and operational management as a result of ser10usly fl~wed deciSions by leaders ... Expediency and the pressure of short !erm obJeCtives often prevailed over gOod judgment and sound co~rect10nal manag~ment procedures ... It is reasonable to conclude that certam of the most senous problems which endangered the safety of the public, the staff or the inmates were preventable... . ·In today's booming corrections industry, private prison companies say without any credible supporting research that they can house prisoners mor'e cheaply and safely than can traditional state run prisons. I strongly believe that the opposite is true. Private prisons are. far more hkely to be overcrowded and have poorly trained staff, which creates a dangerous envuo!'ment inside the prison, and a potential threat to the surrounding community. Furthermore, the General Accounting Office has found the private prisons are not cheaper to operate than public prisons. . · Unfortunately, private prisons are a growing addition to the American landscape. In l991, .there were 44 private priso~s in the United States. Now there are almost 90. · · 1am deeply concerned about the increase in private prisons, and .1 believe it is time io stop this dangerous trend. It is wrong to the profits of mvestors by lowering salaries, reducing benefits, limiting ·training, allowing risky staff to prisoner ratios, and mixing of maximum security inmates with those who have committed non violent crimes. When·it comes to the work ·done by the men and women responsible for operating our prisons, we get what we pay for. Because of my concern, I h~ve introduced the Public Safety Act, a bill that would strip federal prison money away from private prisons. Ultimately, the states must make the decision about whether to allow private pri~ns. Ultimately, the states must make thfdccision about whether to allow pnv.ate prisons. But I am q>nvinced t~atthe feder~ government.should do nothing to encourage the growth of th1s dangerous mdustry. · So far; my bill has strong bipartisan support and more than 60 cosponsors. If this amount of support keeps up, I believe committee ~earings on the bill will be inevi,table. · · There is a group of people in Washington, and Columbus, who have little problem with these for profit, privately operated institutions. Like the privatization of the United States Enrichment Corporation, or.proposals to privatize ·Social Security, these folks seem to think that privatization is the answe1J o our niost difficult and compleK challenges. I completely disagree. In the case of private prisons, the evidence clearly shows that the risks are too great to our families and communities. T~ Strlckl•~ reprnents the Sixth Olatrlct In the u.s.

House Republicans were eager to let the issue cool off after it caused a public relations meltdown for their party during two volatile weeks of Senate debate. To that end, they were expected to change the subject in their weekly radio address from guns to proposals that would limit the ways in which Congress can sllend Social Security funds. · Public senttment and Democratic pressure in the wake of the Colorado ·shootingS prompted Senate Republicans to retreat on gun policy several times before lawmakers included new firearms restrictions in the final bill that passed Thursday; 73-25 . . Led by Sen. larry Craig, R-IdahQ, a member of the board of the National Rifle Association, Republicans initially defeated a Democratic amendment that would require background checks on all firearms purchases at gun shows. · But after a half-dozen Republicans complained to Craig only a few hours later, Republicans agreed to make those checks mandatory. By the final vote, senators of both parties also approved provisions that would require background checks for all gun transactions at pawn shops and all handguns to be sold with trigger locks. In an additiomil ctefeat, public pressure to pass a juvenile justice bill forced Senate Majority Leader Trent lott, R-Miss., to back dowit on his threat to kill the bill outright. .

This feat had not been accomplished since 1987. Please keep in mind that there are only four American League pitchers who have struck out at least 10 batters in a gal)le this seitson, but they each did it only once. Martinez won his eighth game last Thesday when he spoiled Yankees manager Joe Torre's return to the dugout following his bout with cancer. The season is only in its second month and Pedro has a league leading Ul2 strikeouts. He, along with star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra are two of the reasons the Red Sox have an early lead over the heavily favored Yankees in the Eastern Divisi9n. Garciaparra credits his early years as a soe«r player to his success in the · major leagues. I guess kicking that ball helps make the pivot in the hole that much easier.

For the fin,t time since its inception two years ago, I am excited about the WNBA season.

Previously, I Mlowed the ABL because its playerS were better and it played a traditional winter schedule. Now with just one league, the talent level is outstanding. The addition of college player of the year .Chamique Holdsclaw to the Washington Mystics will also be a boost to the league. I still do not care for the summer season, but I guess I will learn to live with it. As I watchCd Jalen Rose score a career layoff high 27 points against the 76ers in the opening of the Eastern Conference semi-finals last Monday, I couldn't help but think of his former high school team. Jalen played for Southwestern· High School in Detroit. His tewrimates included the Utah Jazz's Howard Eisley and the Miami Heat's ~shon Lenard. Now, bow's that for a formidable high school team? Yes, they won the state championship. Lenard's Heat were upset by the Knicks in the first round, but it is still · · possible for Eisley and Rose to meet in the NBA finals next month.

Horwitz will autograph copies of his latest book, "The Longest Raid of the Civil War" dealing with Morgan's raid. The author of "The Longest Rad of the Civil War" has written the definitive text on Morgan's famous Indiana-Ohio raid of July 1863 . The book is the culmi nation of five years of writing and ten years of research. It chronicles the human events, civilian. and military q>nfrontations that unfold ed as General John Hunt Morgan led 2,500 Confederate cavalry through Tennessee, Kentucky, lndi.a na and Ohio on a raid that would cover more than 1,000 miles. It began in mid-June ending a month later on July 26. This most famous of Morgan's guerrill a raids was the northernmost penetration of the Confederate army ending just seventy in iles from Lake Erie, a one day's horseback ride! Dr. James A.

After that time, the portfolios are repositioned to contain the newest ' Dogs of the Dow." Individual retirement accounts can benefit greatly from these strategies because investors will not have to pay capital gains taxes on the yearly roll over. . This approach to equity investing is a classic contrarian strategy that has had a remarkably successful record for more than two decades. In fact, from 1972-1!196, the Dow 10 had 21 years with positive returns while averaging a 18.34 percent annual return, and the Dow 5 had 22 positive years while averaging a 21.36 percent annual return•. These are better than the entire 30stock DJIA average that had a 12.76 percent average annual return and the S&P 500 Index that }lad an average annual return of 12.35 percenl. . One interesting aspect of the "Dogs of the Dow" is their defensive quali· ty. Investors get the comfort of holding not only blue-chip stocks, but ones whose higher dividend payouts can provide a cushion in a falling' market. Obviously, there is no way of knowing bow these theories would perform if the DJIA encounters a serious setback, but their track reoord in previous down markets .is impressive. For example, in the vicious bear market of 1973-74, when the S&P 500 dropped 40 percent, both ' Dogs of the Dow' strategies managed to maintain a slightly positive total return. The easiest and most cost effective way to own the "Dogs of the Dow" is through a product called a Unit Investment Trust (UI1)•• : With one simple purchase you can now own the Dow 10 strategy or the Dow 5 strategy in one' convenient package for as little as $1,000. · • Of course, past performance is ilor a gutJrantee of future results. •• As with lllly investment, an investor should speak to his investment executive and request .a free prospectus to obtain complete information,· including sales charges and expenses.

BYRNES GALLfPOLIS - The rain last week broughtan audibl~ sigh of relief from many producers. In contrast to previous years, producers this year ·have been waiting on adequate moisture to set crops. Wiih pepper plants coming in this week, and setting predieted for the weekend, last week's shower gave producers one less item · to worry about. As you prepare your pepper fields this year, be conservative wiih the . your nitrogen .application. The total nitrogen recommended for the season on peppers is 100-'130 pounds per acre, with only about l/2 to 213 appli~d pre-plant incorporated. 'The remaining nitrogen may be side dressed in 2-3 applications beginning after ihe first fruit set. Resist the "more is better" temptation, because too much nitrogen will limit. your fruit production. Also consider your weed control opt~o-~s- during fi.eld preparation. Tre- flan and Devrinol are two pre-plant incorporated herbicides commonly used on peppers. These herbicides are most effective on germinating grass weeds, but d9 contml a limited .numher of broadleaf weeds. For more complete broadleaf weed contro,l, consider an application of Dacthal soon after transplanting. Dacthal will control germinating annual broadleaf weeds and grasses, and is most.effective when applied just before a rain. . Producers who experienced exten-. s1ve d1sease problems over the past few year~ may want. to consider usmg ~ pre-p,lant fung1c1de, such ~s R1domll as. a preventative measure. Keep m nund tha\ d1seases present las~ year, such as .Phytophthora and Anfhracnosc, are hkely to ·have over wmtered and may return at mcreased levels.

RYAN SMITH GAU.IPOLIS - It is a well-known fact that stocks have bistorieally outperformed bonds and other fixed income securities, as well as outpaced ioDation over the long term. For investors seeldng greater total retum on their investment, capital gains plus dividend income, stock ownership is a proven way of building wealth. ' How~vi:r, many investors have been hesitant to enter the stock market for a variety of reasons. Invest· · .ment professionals arc most frequently asked, "Should I be in the stock market?" 'What should I buy?' "When . should I buy?" · A "buy and hold" strategy of investing should help · eliminate these fears. The 'buy and hold" strategy maintains that it is far bet· ter to purchase a well-chosen portfolio of stocks and hold them for a period of time than to "play the market.• This eliminates the emotion of investing and the temptation to buy and sell for various reasons that an investor can· not control such as the volatility in the stock market, interest rates, ioDation and the overall eoonomy; This philosophy requires an investor to have patience and disciplipe, lind to avoid looking only for short-term apprecia· lion. · There are several "buy and hold" strategies that have routinely rewarded investors with above average investment results. Two of the most popular are the Dow 10 and Dow 5 strategies, commonly referred to as 'the Dogs of the Dow," in which selected stocks from the '30 companies on the Dow·Jones lnd~strial Average (DJIA) are purchased and a set strategy is followed for a succession of one-year time perjods. · . The Dow 10 strategy simply purchases the 10 highest dividend yielding stocks of the 30 stocks in the DJIA. The Dow 5 strategy then purchases the lo':"esl priced 5 of those same 10 highest dividend yielding stocks. Both Holzer Home Care of VMH adds .2 to staff Prop-~r amounts· of water .critical to yield .

Your body uses energy to breathe. to keep your heart beating and to maintain a normal temperature. This is what's called "basal metabolism," and it accounts for 60 percent to 70 percent of the energy your body uses each day. Even that amount varies quite a bit among individuals. People with more lean body mass have a higher metaboli'c rate than people with more fat mass, Older people tend to have slower metabolic rates· than younger people. · Still, physical activity accounts for 25 percent to 40 percent of your ener· gy expenditure.

' Gardening as a means of improving the environment.: By ANN BONNER . , GALLIPOLIS - There are many reasons folks garden. Some do it for exercise or for food and to add beauty and value to their property. But there is a hidden benefit and reasori to garden that is often overlooked. That is gardening to repair environmental damage ·and restore ecosystems'. · Most of us understand that a lawn comprised of mostly grass and a tree here and there is vin ually a biological desert. But·, by adding plants and even letting nature seed in, di versity is increased and a healthier ecosystem is developed. While many of us lament the woes of the environment, few make the connection that what is done or not done in every backyard across the nation is dramatically impacting the quality of the environment - the ecosystems that support us. . The good news is that gardening will transform a monotonous lawn into . a sea of plant and aniinallife that adds color and character to the landscape, while providing vegetables and fruit , cover, a nd many other environmental benefits. For example, while grass sheds rain very similarly to concrete, ih contrast, layered vegetation with shrubs and trees will absorb most rain water, which prevents runoff and .fl oodi'ng. Federated to . capitalize on brand names Now that the many environmental benefits to gardening are clear. Here . are tips to gel.started. • Stop mowing. Steep slopes, remote corners and other areas in the average yard can be left to nature to mai ntain . The results are less work f or the property owner, anda more interesting, colorful and functional spot to enj oy. • Usc plant combinations that would be found naturally. For example, sugar maples, buckeyes, chestnuts and gums can be combined with spicebush, cranberry viburnum, se rviceberry, dogwoods, chokeberry, wild herbs, spinach and other cool season vegetables. 0 aks prefer drier conditions and · can be associated with arrowood virurnu m, sourwood, pawpaw, le'g um es, blueberries and strawberries. • Plant trees and shrubs in groupin gs. Plantin g in groups is good for.the plants because they protect ·each other from temperature and moisture extremes. The nlants grow better and produce more . The plants look better becau se the eye is drawn to whatever is fl owe ring. If enough different plants are used, something ~ ill !lower all of the time. In this mini-ecosystem. insects and wildlife and eve n other pl ants and fun gi wi ll come, whi ch will furth er stengthen the sys tem, helping to restore the environment . • Next , .when these insects and wildlife co me ~ don' t freak out. Ninet y percent of all in sects are be~e ficial. Yes, even cicaJas help aerate the soil · · and provide an inllu x o'rv alu able protein to the ecosystem. Even the 10 per- · ce nt of insects that are considered pests are usually not huge problems if there . is a healthy ecosys tem to kee p prey and predators in balance. (The pests that are the problems are ones .from other places that do not have any natural enemies, i.e., gypsy moth, Japanese beetles, Asian long hom . beetl e and the European sawfly.) Most native pes ts will be controlled quite easily by birds, other insects and eve n naturally occuring l!iseases ifnatur- . al ecosystems are allowed to function . · The underlying guideline here is not to fi'ght nature, but let it work for :.. you. Nature provides many services and c.an solve many of our gardening .. challenges if we could just stay out of the way. When a ~ew garden is created, we all benefit from the beauty, food and ·increased diversity in the ecosys tem. With intact ecosystems, there will be less insect and disease out- ·. breaks in the land scape. There will be more wildlife to enjoy·. Temperature · and moisture le vel s will stabilize.

Wcother Tomorrow: Cloudy High: eos; Low: 40s Meigs County's Vo l'""" ·l" AKRON (AP)- Ohio's biggest industries are using money to get the attention lawmakers in lhe debate over opening up Ohio's electric utility industry to competition. Ohio industries have oulspen\ the state's five invesiOr·owned electric utilities more than 3-to-1 in campaign contributions since 1994, acconding to a computer analysis of 1.1 million contribution necords by the Akron Beacon Journal. The newspaper's analysis showed 60 companies and trade groups contributed more than $5 million, mostly to help elect Republican candidates. At the same time, the utilities gave $1.5 million to slate campaigns, lhe Beacon Journal reported in a story Sunday. Most Ohioans stand to see a savings of Ito 2 percent on their electric bills in a deregulated market. But it's the industrial cus10mers who most actively support deregulation because competition is expected to lower their rates, which are already about half of the rates residential customers pay, the newspaper said. The Bcaccn Journal also reported !hat: - Utilities, especially FirstEnergy in Akron, strongly dislike the proposed legislation and are preparing 10 fight it as it moves through lhe Ohio House of Representatives this week. A Senate version passed wilh a partyline vote - .Republicans for, Democrats against -early Wednesday. - Some companies with a presence in northeast Ohio, including Canton's Ttmken Co. and Ford Motor Co., have been at the forefront of financing c.ampaigns since 1994. The top two political donors are Cincin· nati's Procter & Gamble and Nationwide Insurance Co. of Columbus. - Aultm~n Health Foundation, also of Canton, as well as associations representing Ohio's bakers, bankers, cattlemen, jewelers and teal-estate agents, are among the lesser-known entities vying,for cheap electricity.

Call of the·week- Last week, for the first time since I arrived in Gallia County, producers were discussing weather that was "too dry to set tobacco. " There's no doubt that the rain received last week was critical for many crops already in the ground, as well as those waiting to be set. However, after three years of what local producers called, "unusually" wet planting seasons, I am inclined to award this the comment(s) of the week. Good luck with a safe and successful planting season. (Jennifer L.
