The hospital opened on Sept. 20, 1962 as a 41-bed faci lity with an-addition added on in 1971 making it an 88-bed facility. Despite scaling back serv ices and beds over the years, for roughly 40 years VMH saw its share of living and dying before closing, in 2001. Being a place where people died may explain some of the rum'ors of the building being haunted. Although not all of VMH's former employees believe the place was haunted, there were others that did and still do. A former employee who wished to remain unidentified told the story of working the midnight shift on the EastWest Wing which was acute and extended care. The wing is situated on the end of the hospital which now faces Holzer Clinic. One night on the East-West Wing, the employee said a patient who was an elderly lady put her light on for the nurses. When the employees arrived she told them a little, blond-haired girl had been standing at the foot of her bed earlier. No one could explain who the child was or why she was running around the hospital after midnight so the employees went back to their station . · After awhile on that same shift another patient down the their resources in an attempt same hall talked of seeing the blond chi ld wearing white . to find and return Beach to The employee described both patients as being elderly but Galli a County. .. with it."

Days. · who spl its hi s time between the Morri son & Foerster firm and Yale Law School, is one of the few black lawye rs who regularly represe ni client s at th-: high court. "Not many lawye rs of -color end up in the Sup reme Court and most of those who do are in the area of civil ri ghts liti gation ," said Robert Harr is, who argued once before the court in hi s career as a lawyer for Pacific Gas and Electri c Co. we used to "We don ' t have as man y of those cases so cle arl y that opportunity is not there for many African-American lawyers," said Harri s, who is black. Although the Supreme Court does not keep racial breakdowns of lawyers who argue before the justices, records indicate that the first black to appear before the ju stices was J. Al exander Chiles in 1910. Long before he became a judge, Thurgood Marshall regularl y argued civil ri ghts cases at the Supreme Court in the 1.940s and 1950s. Marshall was a rarrt y in those years of segregation , a bl ac k l ~ wyer "in an otherwi se white world . Under President Lyndon John son, he was th e first black to be solicitor ge neral , the Ju sti ce Department 's top Supreme Court lawyer. Since then . two other black men - Day s and Wade McCree - have held that job. Two black men, Marshall and Clarence Thomas. have been Supreme Court justices. Several factors acc.ount for the dearth of minoritie s at the court : continuing problems in re cruiting and retaining blacks and other minorities at the top law firm s; the rise of a small group of lawyers who focus on Supreme Court cases; the decline in ci vil rights cases that make it to the high court; and the court 's dwindling caseload. "It breaks my heart. It 's the minority pipeline, the dwindling caseload , all of the se things ," Days told The Associated Press. Days said he, too. has trouble attractin g black lawyers to hi s firm. He recounted how he lost out 'to a philanthropi c foundation over the services of a form er clerk for a Supreme Court justice.

Seven firm s had no black partners, accordin g to a report by · Building a Better Le gal Profe ssion, a group of law students who compiled data provided by the firms. · Morrison & Foerster's Washington office, where Day s works, has just two black partners, although that placed the firm fourth in the Washington rankings at 5.6 percent.

Not everyone is capable of being a parent BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: Our 70year-old parents are manipulative and emo"tionally abusive. They rotate which of their three kids is on their "blacklist" and freeze that person out . My parents have no contact wtth my brother, except to send gifts to their only grandchild. My sister and I, bowever, have a strong sen se of obligation to "honor thy father and mother. " Mom, who Is anorexic, has made weight an issue our entire lives. She constantly tells us we are fat, even though we are not. My parents refused to attend my wedding, saying they were ashamed to be seen in public with me because I wasn't thin enough. They missed the majority . of important events in my life, such as my high school choir solo, saying I was incapable of singing well, and then left town for an impromptu spa weekend . My husband and I are very much in love. My parents, however, have made it clear he's not rich or ambitious enough. They say I should have married my college boyfriend because he came from a wealthy family, even though he cheated on me. When I confronted my parents about their behavior, they stopped speaking to me for five years. The only ·reason I talk to them now is because I initiated a reconciliation, which I regret. The truth is, if they weren't my parents , I wouldn't have anything to do with them. They have actually said , "It's all about us." My• sister and I have been in therapy, but I don't feel much of anythin g for my parent s anymore. Would it be best if I just cut them out of my life for good? - It's All About Them Dear All About Them: Not everyone is capable of being a parent. You do not have to maintain a relationship with Mom and Dad if they undermine your marriage and tre at you aby smally. Is the re any redeeming benefit to stay· ing in touch? If so, can you learn to ignore their nasty comments and appreciate whatever it is they DO offer, while turning the other cheek to the rest? This takes effort, practice and the ability to distance yourself emotionally, som e of which can be learned through continued therapy, if you wish to try. Dear Annie: When I began wearing a watch, I was told that I was supposed to wear it on my left wrist. · I mentioned this to my mom in passing and she .said it doesn't matter which wrist you -wear it on. Is there a rule for watch wearing?-- W.W. Dear W.W.: No. Most people put the watch on the hand that allows them to wind it or reset the time with their dominant hand, meaning right"handed people tend to wear it on the left wrist, and left-handed people on the right. Dear Annie: I am sick to death of the assumption that when someone's house is a mess they might be "suffering from depre ssion.

Page:L\2 WAS HI NGTO N - Coming soon to the Supreme Court : a rare appearance by a black lawyer. More th an a yea r has passed since a black lawye r in private prac tice stood at the lectern in th e elegant co urt. room and spoke the traditional opening line, "Mr. Chi ef Ju stice and may it pl ease the court. " · · Drew Days lll ,so licitor general in the C linton administrati on, pl anned on Monday to argue a case on behalf of a shuttered broke rage finn th at is seeking to recover $4.5 mill ion in losses. Days. · who spl its hi s time between the Morri son & Foerster firm and Yale Law School, is one of the few black lawye rs who regularly represe ni client s at th-: high court. "Not many lawye rs of -color end up in the Sup reme Court and most of those who do are in the area of civil ri ghts liti gation ," said Robert Harr is, who argued once before the court in hi s career as a lawyer for Pacific Gas and Electri c Co. we used to "We don ' t have as man y of those cases so cle arl y that opportunity is not there for many African-American lawyers," said Harri s, who is black. Although the Supreme Court does not keep racial breakdowns of lawyers who argue before the justices, records indicate that the first black to appear before the ju stices was J. Al exander Chiles in 1910. Long before he became a judge, Thurgood Marshall regularl y argued civil ri ghts cases at the Supreme Court in the 1.940s and 1950s. Marshall was a rarrt y in those years of segregation , a bl ac k l ~ wyer "in an otherwi se white world . Under President Lyndon John son, he was th e first black to be solicitor ge neral , the Ju sti ce Department 's top Supreme Court lawyer. Since then . two other black men - Day s and Wade McCree - have held that job. Two black men, Marshall and Clarence Thomas. have been Supreme Court justices. Several factors acc.ount for the dearth of minoritie s at the court : continuing problems in re cruiting and retaining blacks and other minorities at the top law firm s; the rise of a small group of lawyers who focus on Supreme Court cases; the decline in ci vil rights cases that make it to the high court; and the court 's dwindling caseload. "It breaks my heart. It 's the minority pipeline, the dwindling caseload , all of the se things ," Days told The Associated Press. Days said he, too. has trouble attractin g black lawyers to hi s firm. He recounted how he lost out 'to a philanthropi c foundation over the services of a form er clerk for a Supreme Court justice. Two recent studi es point up the trends . Of 46 Washington law offices with more than I 00 attorn eys, 28 reported that less. than .3 percent ·of their partners are black. Seven firm s had no black partners, accordin g to a report by · Building a Better Le gal Profe ssion, a group of law students who compiled data provided by the firms. · Morrison & Foerster's Washington office, where Day s works, has just two black partners, although that placed the firm fourth in the Washington rankings at 5.6 percent.

Not everyone is capable of being a parent BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: Our 70year-old parents are manipulative and emo"tionally abusive. They rotate which of their three kids is on their "blacklist" and freeze that person out . My parents have no contact wtth my brother, except to send gifts to their only grandchild. My sister and I, bowever, have a strong sen se of obligation to "honor thy father and mother. " Mom, who Is anorexic, has made weight an issue our entire lives. She constantly tells us we are fat, even though we are not. My parents refused to attend my wedding, saying they were ashamed to be seen in public with me because I wasn't thin enough. They missed the majority . of important events in my life, such as my high school choir solo, saying I was incapable of singing well, and then left town for an impromptu spa weekend . My husband and I are very much in love. My parents, however, have made it clear he's not rich or ambitious enough. They say I should have married my college boyfriend because he came from a wealthy family, even though he cheated on me. When I confronted my parents about their behavior, they stopped speaking to me for five years. The only ·reason I talk to them now is because I initiated a reconciliation, which I regret. The truth is, if they weren't my parents , I wouldn't have anything to do with them. They have actually said , "It's all about us." My• sister and I have been in therapy, but I don't feel much of anythin g for my parent s anymore. Would it be best if I just cut them out of my life for good? - It's All About Them Dear All About Them: Not everyone is capable of being a parent. You do not have to maintain a relationship with Mom and Dad if they undermine your marriage and tre at you aby smally. Is the re any redeeming benefit to stay· ing in touch? If so, can you learn to ignore their nasty comments and appreciate whatever it is they DO offer, while turning the other cheek to the rest? This takes effort, practice and the ability to distance yourself emotionally, som e of which can be learned through continued therapy, if you wish to try. Dear Annie: When I began wearing a watch, I was told that I was supposed to wear it on my left wrist. · I mentioned this to my mom in passing and she .said it doesn't matter which wrist you -wear it on. Is there a rule for watch wearing?-- W.W. Dear W.W.: No. Most people put the watch on the hand that allows them to wind it or reset the time with their dominant hand, meaning right"handed people tend to wear it on the left wrist, and left-handed people on the right. Dear Annie: I am sick to death of the assumption that when someone's house is a mess they might be "suffering from depre ssion.

See Page 81 " BY BRIAN J. ·REEO BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL .COM POMEROY - Election Day is a week away, and those who plan to vote by absentee ballot must make application hy Saturday. Director Rita Smith of the Meigs County Board of Elections said the board has received around 300 applications for absentee ballots for the general election. In the villages of Middleport, Pomeroy, Racine, Rutland and Syracuse, voters will elect mayors and members of village council. Township trustees and township fiscal officers and school board members will be elected county-wide. Several levies are also on the Nov. 6 ballot, including an operating levy and · fire protection levy in · Middleport, and a levy for road maintenance in Rutland. Ohio now allows absentee voting by anyone, without reql!iring a rea- son to do so. According to Smith, applications for absentee ballots must be received by mail no later than noon on Saturday. If voters are uncertain whether their application will be received by the board .in time, they should vote in person at the board of elections, Smith said. Voters may also cast their ballots at the board office without requesting an application by mail. The board office will be open from 9 a.m. to receive applications and to allow voters to cast absentees in person at the office . It is open daily• from 8:30a.m. to 4:30p.m. Monday is the final day to vote in person by absentee ballot at the board office on Mulberry Heights. "If voters are uncertain whether they can request and return an absentee ballot by noon on Satu rday, we recommend that they vote in person at the board office." Smith said. The deadline for voter registration in the general election has passed.
