Here's how President Bush and the Republican establishment se¢ it: African-Americans make up 13 percent of the population, and Hi spanic-Americans make up 14 percent. Doiog the math. that is a big number to cede to the Democrats every four years. Forget about converting · most blacks, the GOP has no clue. But there are millions of .conservative Hispanics, and this amnesty's for you. Mr. Bush's new proposal to allow about I0 million illegal aliens to work and live in the USA is a calculated political move. He is bettin g that his supporters, many of whom will not Iike the quasi-amnesty, will vote for him anyway, especially if Howard Dean is his opponent. And by showing compassion to millions of Hispanic illegals, the president hopes to win some hearts and minds, and, mosl importantly, votes. The question is, will the new program help America? The answer is no. That's 825 Third Avenue • Gallipolis, Ohio (740) 446·2342 • FAX (740) 446-3008 www.mydallytrlbune.com Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

The elec·tions this past November brought us nlllfly new officeholders for this year, ·and I would like to congratulate all tl1ose who were either elected or reeleeted to oftice. I know that so puny local govemme.Qts will face large budgetary problems in the upcomffig year, and I want to express my gmtitude to those officials who have dedicated themselves to not only finding . a response to this problem, but also to improving their local communities as a whole, as welL Whether it is a township. municipal, or county official, most work very hard and care deeply"about their co(nmunities. I urge you to talk to yotlr local officials about your thoughts either to learn more about what they do or to share some·of the concerns that ypu may have. It is also important to recpgnize those who did not win in last year's election for their willingness 'to be involved in the process. A democracy only works when we have people who are willing to pu(their names on the ballot. It is nice to sav thank you to those individuals as well. I wanted to take this opportunity pass along some of the lessons I have learned in my 16 years of public service. and some advice for local officials beginning their service to the public in 2004. It can be overwhelming with limited staff and expertise to deal with all the issues that local officials have to face. I was elected the mayor of Wellston in I998, when I was only 28-yean; old. I remember being faced with multi-million dollar challenges and having to appear in Federal Court on behalf of the city within five weeks of taking office. I also was responsible for negotiating three expired labor contracts. I was the youngest employee of the city, and very eager to get as much accomplished as I could. One I1Jllior lesson I learned from those firsl years of public service is that it takes time to straighten things out You may feel strongly about a certain issue in your community, but it's important to remember that those opposed to you feel just as strongly aboui their community as.you do. Conflicts are sure to arise, but just remember to consider everyone's opinion, and be willing to compromise. The next is to know what your duties and responsibilities are and respect the role that the other officeholders and employees play. It can be an isolating experience to be a local officiaL Local governments in Southern Ohio have a great resource at their disposal. The Obio University Institute for Local Government Administration and Rural Development (ILGARD) provides research, training, technical assistanoe and otber services local governments, community leaders and nonprofit organizations.

The suocess of Ohio is dependent on its local communities as a whole. I want you to know that I am willing to help in any way I can to aid our •local officials. Some of the legislation that I have sponsored to help local · communities move forward are the Rural Industrial Park Loan Fund and legislation to help local governments do their jobs more efficiently.

BY JoE KAY CINCINNATI - , Pete Rose sees no reason to quit gambling. In his latest aulohiography and accompanying interviews this week. baseball's hits king says he's still wagering at race tracks, but insists that his gambling isn't a problem and shouldn 't bt; a concern. Former baseball commissioner Fay Vincent said Friday there's no way that commissioner Bud Selig can reinstate Rose if he's still placin~ bets. . . "I thmk that w~JUid be a suicidal ·step ·for baseball," Vincent said. "! think it would · be critically important · to make sure from someone professional that he would be able to .control his' impulses. I think it's unlikely Bud will ever reinstate him to man- age.'; Rose ended 14 years of denials and ~onfessed in "My Prison Without Bars" that he bet on Cincinnati Reds games while he was their manager. He acknowledged that he let his gambling get out of hand. An expert doubts that Rose has cured. himself. "It cenainly can happen," said Keith Whyte, executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling. "lt's probably a little more prevalent than the Immaculate Conception, but not a lot." Barbara Pinzka, who was Rose's adviser and spokeswoman in J 989, was stunned to see Rose !letting 11 race horse and talking about his visits to the track in a nationally televised interview the previou s night. "Seeing those pictures of him with the horse and having him say he's still betting at th track and that was OK, that just cemented the doo · ....__."'' against him getting b·J" baseball," Pinzka · . "He clearly doesn't · understand that he has a problem." Betting at the track is still important for Rose . In an interview with The Associated Press . he wa·s asked whether he's wi\ling to stay away from tracks and casinos if baseball inade it a condition for reinstatement. " I would do anything they say. but they have to understand - I'm not telling them what to do - but they also have to understand one of my means of entertainment is periodically going to the races," Rose said. Associates urged him over the years to stop gambling completely to improve his chances of reinstatement, but he resisted. In the autobiography, Rose said, "I still enjoy gambling at the. race track, which has always been my favorite pastime." · Afte( Rose accepted the lifetime ban in 1989, his lawyer ordered him to get treatment. Rose met a· few times with Dr. James Hillard, currently chairman of the depanment of psychiatry at the University of Cin,cinnati. "Pete and I hav~ concluded that he does, in. fact, suffer from a clinically significant gambling di_wrder,". Hillard said, in a stalement released by Rose's advisers at the time.

Dowd uncovered evidence that Rose had bet on baseball. "I don 't think it was fair, the way he came to his conclusions," Rose said . "The end result - he was right. But I just didn't like the way he went about it." Vincent didn't have a problem with that, saying: "He doesn't owe me an apology.

Lewis said . Lewis doesn't plan to publicly announce his decision 'b efore the Bengals' mini •camp May 15- 16. · He decided last February :that - the. startin g job was J<itna's to lose. Kitna wound 'lip with a career-high 26 1ouchdilwn passes and was .selected as a second alter,nate for the Pro Bowl. He ;was the only NFL quarter:back to play on all of his 'learn 's offensive snaps in ·2003. :.

' ~ Despite Kitna's strong performance in 2003, Lewis did not commit the starting job to Kitna in remarks at the ~oac h' s ·post-season new s conference on Dec. 29. Lewis' . comments left open the possibility that Palmer could become the starter. ·Palmer, the . former Southern California star, was Cincinnati's first-round 4raft pick in 2003. He wound up on the sidelines for all of his rookie NFL season, watchin g Kitna play. Palmer sa_id during the season that he has a positive relationship with Kitna and has learned from him. In three sea.sons with the Bengals, Kitna has started" 43 games after spending the first part of his NFL career with Seattle. During the past two seasons, Kitna has thrown 42 touchdown passes. and 31 interceptions. Kitna, a seven-year veteran, said he understands the Bengals' dilemma. Kilna said he appreciates .Lewis' desire to commit to a starter at quarterback. . "They're not in the most enviable position," Kitna said of the Bengals. "They draft the No. I quarterback, and then the other quarterback goes out and comes on with the team .

Wetter-thah-normal conditions during this past summer and fall have allowed · the state's seven hatcheries to produce more and bigger trout than normaL Jan. 5 through May 31, almost all of those trout will be stocked in 199 waters, providing Mountain State fishermen with countless hours of entertainment. Mike. Shingleton, who heads up the West Virginia ..Division of Natural Resources' coldwater fish eries section, calls the wet conditions "a welcome change from what we usually have to contend with." "In an ordinary year, we usually have low-water problems in one or more of our hatcherie s,': Shingleton · explains. · Hhtchery managers can easijy deal. with too much water; too Iittle water, however, causes major problems. Trout thrive best. in cold, oxygen,rich ',\later. ·The more water each fish has to live in, ihe better. Low-water conditions force hatchery personnel to crowd tqo.many trout into too few rearing ponds and• raceways. The more crowded the fisli become, the less oxygen they have to breathe . Their -wastes aren't as easily flushed away. Di seases are more easily spread. · None of those problems cropped up last year. As a tesult, Shingleton says, hatchery managers were able to distribute trout to smaller, drought-prone hatcherie s much earlier than normal. "After the fall stockings, we usually transfer fi sh from our 1nain hatcheries to some of the smaller ones," he explains. "When it's dry, we have to delay those transfers until December or January.

I met with Raina Garber. who is the agency's mentoring coordinator. She showed me pictures of the young boys, and girls in the mentor· ing program, similar to that of Big Brothers/Big Sisters. She told me that the kids in lhe program were good kids, but 1nany were living in sin· gle parent families, had low. self esteem, or may be al risk for future drug or alcohol abuse if someone didn 't intervene. When she asked me · if I wou ld be Interested in Lhe program, I hesitated. The reasons I shouldn't raced through my head "I'm Loo busy, I don't know anything about kids, I don't have anything to offer." But, in the end, the reasons I should become a mentor seemed more important. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, but the process was fairly simple. I had to fill out an application and go ttirough several inter· views before I was paired with a child. Raina told me "that each month, the program sponsors a group mentoring activity, and, in addition to that.

You .can invest for at least two key reasons: growth and income. If you're looking for growth, you'll need to invest in stocks that havo;: the potential for capital appreciation. But if Y<?U also want to get income ·from your investments, you've got some choices to make. . You can, of course, invest in fixed-incom .\! vehicles, such as bonds. Bonds typically pay regular interest payments, and, as long as the bond is held until maturity, the pitncipal amount is returned, providing the issuer doesn't default - a risk you can greatly reduce by purchasing only those bonds that have received the highest grades from independent rating agencies. However, you can also get income by investing in stocks that have a history of paying dividends - and now, since the tax. rate on dividends has been cut, these investments may look even more attractive. In the short term, most common stocl(s .will typically offer lower income than bonds or CDs. But many high-quality stocks have consistently increased their annual dividends - which means you have the potential for rising income. That's not to say you should abandon your bonds in favor. of dividend-paying stocks.

Like all lawsuits, a divorce is an adversarial proceeding that begins with one party, the plamtiff, filing a complaint agaipst another party, the .defendant. The defendant will then generally file an answer and counterclaim against the plaintiff. Often the next step of the process involves the issuance of a "temporary . order."

Food writer James Villas says he came up with this straightforward ham and noodle casserole early one winter evening when guests asked if they could bring friends and he needed to provide more food than he'd planned. "I'm never, ever without leftover ham in the fridge or freezer, some type of fresh or dried mushroom, packages of various noodles, and plenty· of genuine Parmesan cheese, a habit that has paid high dividends more than once and that .I urge everyone to jmitate.'' he writes. The recipe is in his most rec~nt book, "Crazy for Casseroles" (Harvard Common Press, 2003, $18.95). The casserole has been called the backbone of home cooking, aikl the book is a trove, of 275 recipes for "all-American hot-dish classics.'' · .

Joe· Associated Press There 's no Ford Windstar minivan anymore. It's the Ford Freestar now. The new name highlights Ford's seven·passenger 2004 minivan major-freshening, especially under the hood, where a more powerful and larger displacement V6. resides. Another outstanding feature is the minivan's thirdrow seats fhat fold flat into a cavity in the cargo floor, a Ford first. · Ford officials expect the Freestar, which recently received a top government frontal crash test rating, to sfabilize annual sales in the 150,000 range. Winds tar peaked in calen.dar 2000 with 222,298 U.S. sales. .Starting manufacturer's suggested . retail price, i.qcluding destination charge, for a base Freestar is $24,460. This is a bit lower than some other long-wheelbase minivans. Starting MSRP, including destination charge, for the 2004 Honda Odyssey is $24,980; for the 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, $24,975; and the 2004 Nissan Quest. $24,780. ·The Freestar, which has t~e sarrie . wheelbase and overall length and height as ibe Windstar, doesn ' t stand 'out from the pack in its styling, though it's more streamlined in appearance than the Wind&tar. . Inside , the Freestar environment is straightf.pi'Ward, with controls and levers where you'd <;xpect. The automatic transmission shifter is located in the usual, old-style ·spot - on the steering column. In contrast, in the modstyled Quest, the shift lever is a short stalk located on the dashboard. The Freestar's blinkers have an old-style, clickity sound. I had to lean down every time I used the parking brake in the Freestar. The lever, to the right of the driver seat, is way doY(n at the floor, and depending on how high you sit. you may need to stretch to reach the parking brake. Also, every time I approached the front doors of the Frees tar. I noticed the plastic interior trim piece protruding upward at the lower inside edge of the door window. This ·has been on other Ford vehicles. too, leaving the. impression that the auto maker doesn't measure its door interior trim correctly. As in other minivans, the Freestar is ·easy to climb . into, even if you're a shortlegged~chila or a -less-than· . nimble senior citizen.
