BSERGENT@MYDAILYSI!NTINEL.COM STAFF REPDRT NEWS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.OOM· · POMEROY -The Ohio legislature approved legislation last week that places a moratorium on some eminent domain takings by state government entities. The legislation establishes a study committee to examine the issue more thoroughly. U.S. Rep. Jimmy Stewart, R-Aibany, was a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 167 in the House. The bill was passed unanimously. The bill was introduced by State Senator Timothy Grendell, R-Chesterland, in response to a re.cent U.S. Supreme Court decision, allowing government entities to seize private property to benefit private businesses. Traditionally. eminent domain takings have been limited to property that will serve the common good, as in the case of highway construction. Those cases are not affected by the new legislation. "In light of the Supreme Court ruling, it was necessary to take quick and decisive action to protect Ohio property owners,'' Stewart said. "It is essential to strike a balance between the eminent domain rights of local governments and individual property owners." The bill prohibits until Dec. 31, 2006, any government entity in Ohio from using eminent domain pro' ceedings when the property in questio~ will be transferred to a different private person. The moratorium will buy additional time needed for the newly ·created "Legislative Task Force to Study Eminent Domain and Its Use and Application in the State" to consider permanent soluti ons to the ISSUC. The task force. will be comprised of members of the Ohio General Assembly, representatives of the executive branch, agriculture community, developers and others, and will have until Aug. I , 2006, to make recommendations. ., 1~1»ii~'i White trick or treat was observed in most Meigs County communities last week, the streets were lined with plenty of ghosts and goblins, witches and werewolves - and pumpkins on Monday - the official Halloween holiday.

Middleport Church holds 'Trick or Trunk' . DEAR ABBY: My older sister, "Katie," has three children - an adopted-son, a foster son and a biologi~al son - all under the age of 3. Katie and 'her husband took in their foster son, "Richie," only because he 's the biolog· ica\ brother of their adopted son. They didn' t know if they 'd get to keep Richie or not, so Katie closed herself off to him emotionally. During the year and a half that she has had Richie, he has become, in essence, an "invisible" child. She shows him no . kindness, no positive attention and cenainly no love. I love Richie. It makes my heart ache to see him emotionally ne!llected. It also causes me dtstress to see that Katie seems blind to the way she behaves toward him. The rest of our family sees what's happening, but no one seems to know how to handle the situation. My husband and I have been unable to have children of our own, and we currently keep Richie every weekend. We have considered taking him in ourselves, and if possible, adopting him. He loves us as much as we love him. My question is. should we (our family) stand together and try to convince Katie to open her eyes and change her ways, or would it be · better for everyone involved if my husband and I were to adopt Richie? And if so, how do we do this without creating a rift in the family? DISTRESSED IN WISCONSIN DEAR DISTRESSED: Dear Abby Whether she want s to admit it or not, your sister must be aware on some level that she 's unable to love Richie as she does the other boys. I recommend that you take it slowly : The first thing that you, your hu sband and the extended family could do would be to "sympathize" with Katie about how hectic her life must be with three tiny toddlers on her hands. Suggest that you'd be happy to "lighten her load" by' taking Richie more ,often. (You max find that she'll be dehghted.) Once you have established that routine, begin mentioning how hard it is for you and your husband to see him go home. After that, the next logical step would be to offer to adopt the boy - which might provide your sister with the "out" she needs. If she's open to it - "and Jet's pray that she is - you won't have to inform child protective services that the boy is being emotionally starved and neglected. If she's not, I hope )'OU will step in on his . behalf anyway, because the damage your sister is doing to that child will affect his view of himse lf and the world for the rest of hi s life. DEAR ABBY: I have been dating "Ban" for 4 1/2 years. He moved into my home three years ago. and so did two of his .adult children, ages 22 and 24. I have talked with his children about either getting their own place or following my rules when they live under mv· roof. (Most of the time they are living with girlfriends.) Bart thinks it's OK for his c·hildren to live here, not listen to us, and not give me any money to help with the bills. I don 'i know what to do. - GOING CRAZY IN VIRGINIA DEAR GOING CRAZY: Ban's "children" are living the life of Riley. Are they staying with you now? If the answer is yes, set a date for them to be out and insi st upon it. If they are not, begin rethinking the way you use the spaces they were occupying and/or storing their things. Instead of a bedroom, · think hobby room; exercise room, den or a storage area. One thing is certain: If there 's no bed to sleep in, it will be more difficult for them to impose upon you. P.S. Does Ban pay his own fair share? If not, you are being t~ken advantage of. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also . known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

John Tanner, D- Tenn., which would ·require states to create independent commissions when redrawing Congressional districts every decade. The current system of redistricting isn't the·whole reason that politics has become so acrid and that bipartisan agreement is so difficult, but it plays a big part. And there are now the beginnings of a movement.to change it. Under the current ~ystem, voters (as the saying goes) . don't pick their political representatives - the politicians pick their voters.

Ensconced in safe, highly partisan districts, House members and candidates rarely have to compete for moderate or independent voters or look to the middle ground for solutions.

Naturally enough, defenders of the status quo - Democrats in California, Republicans in Ohio - are spending millions to block what they term a "power grab."

Tuesday, November 1, 2005 Obituaries Local Briefs Harold Blackston Plan public dinner In New York City, Supreme Court Justice Antonio Scalia- in town as the grand marshal . of Columbus Day Parade was interviewed on. WNBCTV's "The Wall Street Journal Repon with Maria Bartiromo." Introducing him. Bartiromo noted that the tribunal on which Scalia sits "is one of the most powerful and least visible institutions in America" and, as the highest court, "can make tremendously important social and political decisions." But when she asked this most vivid of the nine justices about the persistent call for the Court to allow its oral arguments to be televised so that the reasoning of these "least-visible" makers of decisions that affect us for years can actually be known by we, the people - Scalia · brusquely attacked the notion that the Supreme Court be that accessible. · "We don't want to become entertainment." he said, "I think there's something sick about making entertainment out of real people's legal problems. I don't like · it in the lower courts, and I don't particularly like it in the Supreme Court ." Justice Scalia is a proud "originalist." He believes that the Framers of the Constitution intended that ii be interpreted precisely as written.

The future will bring other life-and-death cases that will be of absorbing interest to many Americans, who would like to be present during these arguments. I wi ll grant Justice Scalia that the Framers of the Constitution and the Americans who ratified tlie Constitution did not have TV sets. But is he absolutely certain that if they had such access to the justices at · work, they would have decided that there would be ' "something sick" about television in courts? The late Justice William Brennan once told me that in light of how distant the Supreme Court is to the majority of Americans, he very much favored television during oral arguments. Does anyone on the present Court agree? After all, it's not their court, it's our court.

He'd be excited and jacked out of his mind to play. so if he came in there, it would be just a different attitude in terms of excitement and energy level , because he's a young guy that would . be getting a shot." ·· The Browns (2-5) are m a familiar place: the AFC North's basement.

Or is it finally time to hand the ball off to Frye, who looked good in exhibition games but has yet to take a meaningful. snap? "One of the positives is you would anticipate that it m1ght be more of a spark for the offense," Crennel said. "A negative would be. whoever your opponent is, they are going to bnng every blttz known to man at him. If he can survive it, it will be a pasitive. If he can't survive 1t, it will be a negative."

Memphis BY WOODY BAIRD ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS , Tenn Jerry West signed a twoyear contract extenston Monday, agreeing to remam through 2008 as president of the Memphis Gnzzlies. West, a nattve of Chclyan, W.Va. and tormer WYU star, came out of rettrement three years ago to JOtn the Grtvhes after spendmg almost four decades with the Los Angeles Lakers as player, coach and execuhve. He was in the last year of a four-year agreement with Gnzzhes owner Michael Heisley. "''ve rettred once and it didn't do very well for me," West said. 'Th1s 1s a life that I know well." In Memphi s, West created a team that topped a franchise-best 28 victones wtth 50 wins m 2003-04 to make a ftrst tnp to the NBA playoffs. The Grizzlies also made the playoffs last season but were swept for the second time as tensions rose between coach Mike Fratello and key players West rebuilt the Grizzlies in the offsedson, removing Jason Williams, Bonzi Well s, Earl . Watson and James Posey and bringing in NBA veterans Damon Stoudamire, Eddte Jones and Bobby Jackson. "Coming here to practtce is a pleasure this year. It's really a pleasure," West said as he watted for an afterpractice talk wtth players. "We have a veteran group of guys who have been extremely helpful to our younger players," We st added "But more tmpor' tantly, they brought some- thmg here that's contagious. When you walk tn, you see a lot of happy faces. Our coache' are smiling." West said the goal ts clear thts season. ·'Win a playoff senes," he sa1d. We st retired as general manager of the Lakers in 2000. When he joined the Grizzlies, he said he found rettrement boring "Thts francht se has been tmportant to me," he satd. "And u's much more tmportant now than when I first got here because, you know, I'm so familiar with everyone. We've got a 'great group of people to work with " Fratello was persuaded to leave broadcastmg and return to coachmg by West Ill December 2004. He replaced Hubte Brown, who rettred after he was brought to Memphis by West in 2002. Fratello was leaving the practice court when he heard about the contact extension. "I know the team w1ll love to hear that," he said. "I thmk our players really trust m Jerry, trust in the fact that he will contmue to keep thts team m the playoff-compctttton mode of not letting us shde." Mtke Miller, traded from Orlando to Memphts tn . 2003, said he and the other Grizzlies were pleased wuh West's decisiOn. "When I got traded, one of the things I was excited about was having him here," .he said. "So now we know we've got him for at least a couple of more years."

YOUNG Ill -62 992 15 WVO:'ltflJl Pomeroy, Ohio 25 YWI Local El IIOMf PlANTING.,..,_ 6 Lemony Snicket wrote, "Taking one's. chances is like taking a bath, because sometimes you end up feeling comfort~ able and warm , and sometimes there is something terrible lurking around that you cannot see unlii it is too la)e and you can do nothing else but scream and cling to a plastic .duck.~ Which will you do after this deal? How would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade seven? Note South's balancing one no-trump, This shows a weak no-trump, usually ~ 114 points. North, knowing his partner would be able to place the missing honors, jumped to game. South saw only five top tricks: two spades · (given trick one) and lhree hearts. He . took the first trick with his spade Queen and played on diamonds. But West grabbed the trick w~h his ace and contin· ued with the spade king to drive out di.Jmmy's ace. And when declarer played a club , West zoomed in with that ace and cashed the res1 of his spades. West was marked with both minor-suit aces for his opening bid. So he was a step ahead in the race for suit establish· ment. South's only chance was that West started with si:< spades, not live. If so, East had just played a singleton and the contract could be made by letting that jack h·old the trick. Declarer still had two spade stoppers with West having to lead the suil. South could drive -out one ace, win a spade trick, dislodge the other ace, taKe the ne:<t spade trick, and swim for home. It you ducked at trick one, soak up that comfortable and warm feeling. . -'111r111d.!ao: 1'\'( DR!Et> APRICOT David, Donna & Brad Deal 1401 Kanawha St. PllS S _All pass ~Astro­ \ ~Graph ""FA/Ill~ Y OWNED"' Hill's Self Storage v•vn BARNEY ~HOLZER CLINIC ~<Insured" rM ~~~ •. r.Dea{ ![unera{:.Horne Call Gary Stanley 7!10·742-2293 • leave a message Pass 3 NT The mallard or teal to the rescue "JIIll> S~El>"1--- .I. ittH t.Ail> ~GGS.
