"I've got no second thoughts or regrets about the effort. that our team played with, " Hill said. " What I told them is we're just not physical enough yet. .

Halfway into Fiscal Year 2000, the hospital has a projected deficit of $400,000, and the deficits for FY 2001 and 2002 are $768,000 and $807,000, respectively, according to figures compiled by a Clarksburg, W.Va., consulting firm. Funds from the proposed three-year levy would be used to "support emergency services and supportive services for the hospital," Bower said. · Bowers said much of the lost funding is a result of the Balanced Budget Amendment, federal legislation which limits the reimbursement to hospitals for health care under Medicare. ''We feel that with what's happening in health care, and considering the constant changes that are taking place, this four-mill levy is what we need to continue services," Bowers said, noting that, if the levy would fail, the hospital's E.R. would close July I, 2000. Bowers was joined by Dr. James Witherell, the hospital's medical director, Rhonda Dailey, the hospital's vice president of nursing, Paul Beegle and Jeff Warner of the hospital's board, and Joseph Barnes of the CPA consulting firm Doak, Cuppett and Poling of Clarksburg, W.Va. Tile commissioners said their unanimous vote in favor of placing the ballot issue before 'voters was based on the unanimous approval of the hospital's board, and the feeling "the fate of the hospital's current operations should be placed in the hands of the voters, rather than a few people," President Janet Howard said.

They say we're to blame for the1r poor air quality. Say what? Rather than accept responsibility for their polluting ways, they blame emissions from American Electric Power plants in Ohio and West Virginia, among others, for their smog.

We don 't deny exhaust is to and it has no scien· blame for the Northeast's poor air tific basis. quality, but that exhaust isn't coming from hundreds of miles away. No, no, no. The Northeast's smog comes from the Northeast. There are probably more cars in New York City alone than there are in all of West Virginia. It is a scientific fact that cars produce smog-causing emissions. That's why they have cat· alytic converters and other emissions-reducing equipment. W.hen California started looking for someone or something to blame for its smog problems, the state didn 't point the finger at nearby power plants. Instead, they went right to the source: cars. As a result, California has some of the most stringent emissions standards around - and its air is getting cleaner. Why can't the folks in the Northeast figure out this seemingly simple puzzle? From here, it's looks like a classic case of the haves blaming the have-nots for problems wrought by their own hands. Frankly, we resent this treatment. The Northeastern states need to stop blaming us for their problems. Before they point a finger at our house, they need to get their·own houses in order. These folks need to accept responsibility . for their own actions. By MORTON KONDRACKE From the shrieks that erupted when Texas Gov. George W.

Rusher's view: Nationally ... Selection process the problem with foundations By WILUAM A. RUSHER It's an old story. The wealthy and highly conservative entrepreneur, approaching the sunset of his life, is told by his lawyers that the only way he can avoid confiscatory death laxes is by creating a non -profit foundation, dedicated to vaguely outlined good works. So he creates one, names it after himself, and puts a few of his equally conservative cronies, his children, and a lawyer or two on ihe board. Wilhin a few years he and his cronies, and maybe even the lawyers, are dead. The children, knowing nothing about how to manage a foundation, turn desperately to the helpful "experts" who mysleriously appear, like dandelions in a wet spring. Ten years further on, the foundation created by Daddy is firmly in the grip of liberals whom Daddy wouldn't have agreed to invile to dinner, and is financing projects that have the old gentleman spinning in his grave. A few decades back, one such foundation actually financed a study of what it would take, militarily speaking, for ouiSide forces to rnvade and conquer lhe white apartheid regime in South Africa: how many landing ships and screening naval vessels, how many bombers and "11 1111111111111 Loca y ...

Sewing Machine & Vaccuum Cleaner Repairs We make house calls 740·742-()419 . f ., By Phillip Alder You probably know who· wrote this : "How confusing the beams from memory's lamp are; One day a bachelor. the next a grampa. What is the secret of the trick? How did I get so old so quick?" , Not from playing too much bridge. And'there is something memorable about working out virtually the whole deal at trick one. You are Eas~ so cover the West and South hands. Against three no-trump, your partner leads the club four: queen, ace, five. What would you do now? Why? North is right to raise to tw"l"o\ trump mstead of showmg hts dta-1 mond·support. If game is on, it will be in three no-trump, not five diamonds. What is South's shape? Well, from West's opening lead, you know South has four clubs. (There is only one card below the four that West can hold, and South cannot have five clubs.) South's three -spade bid showed exactly three cards in that suit. Also, he opened one diamond and rebid one no-tr~mp. S!l. ~urely his distribution is 3-2-4-4. Returning a club won '1 be profitable, unless the play of dummy's queen was a beginner 's error. Instead, switch to the heart t\\fO, hoping partner has one of the missing honors. ijere, West will win with the.king and return the three, which you will duck to South's ace. Declarer will have to play a club, but your partner will win with the king, and two more heart tricks will result in one down.

"The pushing of an official should never be ignored," Policy said. " With that premise in mind, I don't think what happened can simply be written off." Palmer said when he saw Brown walking back onto the field. he thought he was simply rejoining the huddle. He thinks Brown became enraged when he crossed paths with Triplette.
