An employee there si nce 1989, Adkins has .served as supervi sor, unit man ager, staff development director and acting director of nursing during· that time. She is a 1981 graduate of Meigs High School and the Rio Grande Collegc/Holzer School of Nursing, and is a certifieli gerontological nurse. . She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Keith Riggs of Pomeroy, and resides · , in Gallipolis with her husband, Jeff, imd daughters, Lauren and Payton. By CHRISTINE HANLEY AIIOCiated Preas Writer FRESNO, Calif. - From El Nino's cotton-soaking spring del- · ,.uges to a fruit-killing Christmas freeze, wit~ all sorts of crop damage in between, 1998 was a year of mon, . umental havoc for California agriculture. Fanners, who like fishermen are at the' mercy of the weather but also are heavily insured, have estimated losses at more than $1 billidn and counting. , The preliminary tally, which is sure to climb once industry officials a:nd insurers close the books on all the damage, already rivals some of the worst years in recent memory for the state's agri cultural industry. A common measuring stick is 1990, when $800 million in losses were attributed to a severe freeze and a drought cost millions more. "It cenainly was a very, very chal-· lenging year, and farmers are glad to see 1998 end." said Bob Krauter, spokesman .for the California Farm Bureau Federation. "Obviously, we face all kinds of weather-challenging events: droughts, freezes, floods. But it just seemed there was a more significant number of challenges." Early in the year, El Nin o's unceasiryg, unpredictable wrath led to flooding and excessive wetness that doused crops, threw harv est' and planting schedules o'ut of whack alld, created environments in which pests and disease flourished. On top of that, iv late Dece mber, a four-da:t stretch of snow and free z- ing temperatures wipcli out the lemon crop and delivered a crippling blow to the rest of the citrus industry. Citrus losses were most recently estimated at $~40 million but are expected to rise. Those losses translate into higher· 'prices for customers at gr~ry stores. and produce warkets. ' "For consumers, that does mean that you will see a shortage ofeati~g oranges. When it comes to pricing, everything in agriculture is related to supply and demand," sl!id Heather Flower, .spokeswoman for the Westem Growers Association. Wholesale prices for navel oranges have gone from $10 or $12 a box to more than $20, said Krauter. In a few instances, boxes of l~ largest oranges have gone for $30,1lle well. Nothing pleases us more than to have our employees return home to · their families safe and healthy at the end of their towboat assignment or work shift.': . , . . . The d1vts1on s acctdent 1nc1den1 rate for 1998 (number of disabling mJunes per 200.000 hours worked) was zero, as compared to the maritime inland river towing industry average of 5.2 for this safety measure. The record-setting safety performance took place within the context of a record-breaking production year. During 1998, the diwision transported 23.5 million tons of coal for AEP System generating-plants. In addition, it moved some 4.5 million tons of coal, stone and other aggregates for outside customers. The total-28 million tons- is 11.4 percent apove the di~ision 's best previous year. . .

Speaking of the politics of personal destruction, Anthony Lewis notes in the New York Times that Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., having spoken to "a virulent racist group," has done something "more deplorable than anyt!ling President Clinton has done." In terms of this invidious comparison, shall we start with the president'&cutthlg down the right to habeas corpus to one year? Or his law that denies aliens, including resident aliens, the right to see the evidence against them before they·arc deport· ed? I don't think Bob Barr quite qualifies to be in Clinton's "deplorable" league. Along with Lewis, a horde of independent prosecutorial journalists have convicted Barr of racism because he made a speech last June to the Council of COnservative Citizens in South Carolina. In none of the broadsides I have rea<! or heard has there been any mention of Barr's civil-liberties record. Of course, the fact that he has been allied with the ACLU on a number of privacy issu~s might be confusing in an indictment of Barr. It's like saying that the devil regularly attends vespers.

Rupen Columbus Today In History Death Notices ' Lawmakers still interested in farmland preservation After conceding that maybe they bit off more than they can chew last time, supporters of efforts to save farmland from urban sprawl promise to ask lawmakers for smaller portions this time around. "This issue is not going to go away," Rep. Sean Logan said last week. "It is something that is being demanded from all corners of the state of Ohio." Logan, D-Lisbon, was on hand for the .ceremonial signing of legislation giving local governments the ability to pay farmers not to sell out to devel· opers. · The new law was the first real taste of success for those who fear that unchecked development will result in higher taxes as silos are replaced with suburbia, and newcomers strain school systems and government services. The idea of paying farmers the difference between their land's agricultural value and its development value was Qne of several recommendations from the Ohio Farmland Preservation Task Force in 1997. Logan and Rep. Gene Krebs, a Republican from Camden, tried to lump most of the task force's other recommendations into a wide-ranging, I 06page bill later that year. Early drafts of the bill looked at requiring all Ohio counties to develop comprehensive land-use plans. The final version made the planning process . voluntary but iricludes some state pressure. · Counties that didn 'I do comprehensive plans, for example, would not have been eligible for state ·farmland preservation money and certain agri(culturalloans. Such counties also would have found it harder for their highway and other development projects to move up 'on the state's funding pri· ority list. · . The bill illso sought to encourage urban redevelopment by giving sales· tax breaks for materials used in inner-city residential rehabilitation. It went nowhere - partly because it was unwieldy and touched on too many different areas of state government and parUy because lawmakers had their eye on other more pressing matters, such as school funding. , Some home builders and commercial developers question the need for the bill. Opponents of efforts to preserve farmland argue that landowners should be able to use their property as they see fit. Logan said he and Krebs have been meeting weekly to discuss the topic, and plan to reilltroduce the legislation. Only this time, they will break it up into several smaller bills. "At the very least, the state needs to step back and think about some of the programs we have," Logan said. "And that parallels the local effort to re-evaluate where we want to grow, and when and how we want to grow." Kit Fogle, executive director of the Ohio Farmers Union, welcomes the lawmakers' attention. Fogle pointed out, though, that the Legislature has no power over the one thing that probably has the most effect on the paving of farmland: commodity prices. "The higher prices farmers receive ... the less farmland they are likely to sell off." Pomeroy • Middleport, Ohio ...

"Sean had a brilliant game," Bennett said. "That's npt to slight the other guys who made big conuibutions, but Mason is the kingpin . We love to have the ball in his hands whenever possible. Sean has supreme confidence in his ability to score." Keady said Wisconsin 's backcourt experience -three seniors and a sophomore - will make it a contender in the Big Ten.

By JOHN SEEWER Associated Preas Writer SYLVANIA - Standing in his cap and .gown while waiting to speak . before beaming relatives, Elliott Gottlieb got nervous. He had' never doni: anything like this before and wondered if anything would come out when he started to speak. Yei as he slowly stepped in front . of the audience it all seemed to flow: The story of watching all three of his children graduate from college and the embarrassment he felt from dropping out of high school nearly 60 years ago. "I have regretted it ever since," he said. The 76-year-old who turned a small Toledo furniture shop into a bustling business was proud to say he achieved his goal - he received his General Equivalency Diploma. Gottlieb and others his age are from a generation that couldn' t easily attend college or in some cases finish high school. But today they are · returning to the classroom not 'only to further their education but to retain their vigor and vitality. "They're remnants of the Depression and World War 11," said Margaret Katzan, director of the University of Toledo's program for students Retired chaplain joins fleet By GEORGE W. HACKETT Associated Press Writer LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Retiring after 22 years as an Army chaplain, James Wilkinson joked with friends that he 'd accepted a new assignment that "requires me to walk on water." He's now a towboat chaplain, setting up a network of ministries along 1,000 miles of two riversthe Ohio and the Mississippi. ·"We are recruiting volunteers in 10 cities to visit the boats and also be available for whatever help the families of these mariners may need," said Wilkinson, whose oftice will be in Louisville . He is an Episcopal priest, but the program , which he started Sept. 8, will be npn-denominational, with financial support coming from the Seamen's Church Institute of New York and New Jersey. Based in Manhattan, the institute was.founded in 1834 to serve the spiritual needs of mariners. "River mariners are a unique group ,'often under a lot of stress," he said. "The towboat stops only to negotiate a lock or allow safe passage of another vesse l. lt can get lonely. That's why we will have on-site chaplains." There 'will be clergymen or lay- over 60. "They have an opportunity that was never there before." There are more than I00 of these "new" students at Toledo. They areenrolled in music, art, history and computer science. Some are quite serious about their studies. Others simply enjoy 'being around younger students who s~e them as living history books. "They get to talk to people who "aren't talking about which 'leg is aching today," Kat zan said. "They can be a part of life rather than watching it disappear." It's not just all classes and homework for these senior students. They write plays, volunteer at inner city schools reading to children and si ng in the school chorus. One man played tuba in Toledo's marching band a few years back. All Ohioans age 60 and older can take college classes for free at the state's public colleges and universi, ties.

One beneficiary of that change was bemused. State Rep. William Batchelder of Medina had been part of a Republican Revolution too, three 'decatles earlier. That change grew out of the 1964 defeat of Republican Barry Goldwater by Dembcralic President Lyndon Johnson. In Ohio, the GOP roared back in 1966, re-electing Gov. James Rhodes and winning solid majorities in both houses of the l-egislature. And a skinny, 24-year-old lawyer named Bill Batchelder was on his way to Columbus. "Goldwater opened the door and maybe took off the hinges," Batcheldersaid of the birth of his par- Batchelder's from Wooster, quoted Batchelder as once saying: "Some people collect stamps. Some people restore cars . !,just like to read the ·code of financial institutions." In 1972, the Democrats took over and the Republicans began their long ~!retch in the minority. For 20 years, .the House was in the iron grasp of the man simply called "Mr. Speaker"Vern Riffe of Wheelersburg. Riffe's way of doing business was to gather a consensus, give a little something to the Republicans, then shut down the debate. Batchelder didn't like what he saw, especially the role played by Minority Leader Corwin Nixon of L~banon. He felt so left out of the process that he once wore a dog muzzle on the House floor.
