Newspapar Infirmary's fate may hang on outcome of levy By BRIAN J. REED Sentinel Newe Staff If the voters reject a proposed levy for the operation of the county home in November, al least one county commissioner will push for il5 closure. . AI the commissioners' regular weekly meeting on Monday, Comllllss1oner Janet Howard said she would favor closing the facility if the half-mill, liveyear tax issue does not pass. Jean Grueser and Betty Farrar met with lhe board to discuss the proposed levy th~ the commissioners approved at their meeting last week. Anned with newspaper anicles concerning the infirmary issue, Grueser said she felt Howard had a "personal vendetta" against the county home. · "By proposing this levy, 'you're blackmailing the public," Grueser told Howard. "You're telling people that if they don't vote for more taxes, then they'll he responsible for closing the home." . Howard reiterated her comments from last week, saymg that she had -- promised tht general public some time ago that they would be able to have a say in the future of the facility. · . "The people of Meigs County 'are kind," Howard said . .':They will suppan this levy if they want to. I think the public would like the chance to vole on this issue, but if it doesn't pass, then I will s'lPpon closing the home." Commissioner Fred Hoffman again stopped shon of supponing closing the county home if the levy fails, but said that if it does fail, a re-evaluation of the home's operation will be in order. "I think this levy will pass," Hoffman said, "but if it doesn't, we will need to review the cost of operating the county home and the need for its services." Grueser pushed for the formation of a committee to review the costs involved in the operation of the facility. and proposed raising rates for occupanis and increasing occupancy to raise revenue.

To ensure a more accurate population count in 2000 than the nation bad in 1990, the U.S. Census Bureau wants to incorporate poll-like sampling techniques to scientifically estimate the hardest-to-fmd 10 percent of citizens. Republicans are using every argument they can find, from the U.S. Constitution to conspiracy theories, to block the plan. · It's agreed by both sides that traditionill head-counting by mail and borne visits creates an undercount of the population. In I 990, the Census missed 4.7 million people or 1.9 percent of the population, mainly among American Indians, Hispanics, African-Americans and children. The underilount led to lawsui1s by cities and states that felt they'd been oounted out of legislative seats and pemment benefits that are census-based. It alSo led to a study by the National Academy of Sciences that recommended partial use of sampling. Under the plan then developed by the Census Bureau and presented to Congress, traditional head-counting would be used to enumerate 90 percent of the U.S. population, but samples would be taken of under-counted ·groups to recalibrate the final I 0 percent. Republicans have been resisting the plan with every device in their power, going so far as to attach a sampling ban to disaster relief legislation, causing a veto by President Clinton. This summer, Republicans tiied to ban sampling as part of tbe !997 ·balanced budget agreement; but backed off when President Clinton threatened another. veto. At bonom is a GOP fear-- which even some Republican elections experts say is exaggerated -- that sampling could cost Republicans seats in the U.S. House of Represen- . tatives in the next decade, and possibly C!lntrol of the chamber.

Traditionally, the coll)missloners in Meigs County have determined eli· gibility for admission to the county home. . The commissioners currently base admission to the liome on a 1978 policy which was adopted in cooperation with the Gallia County CommiSSIOn· ers, \'lhO for several years operated a cooperative agreement with Meigs Coun· ty for reciprocal infirmary and children's llome services. .

The balance is paid by the residents. who folfeit their SSI, pensions or pay cash in exchange for stay· ing there. · Grueser said she felt that the daily rates should be increased. as well as the number of residents, so that revenue could be raised without the benefit of a tax levy. Also present was John VanReeth, who had resided at the home temporarily. political spin on it." Rebecca, on the other hand, saw things from the opposite lens. She· found that her traditional wedding -- complete with the acquisition of an engagement ring, her husband's name, and a big white dress -- defined · wbo she was to many ECkel onlooker&. "People would say, 'Oh, you're traditional, ' wheti I kind of felt tbat that was none of their business. Not that they can't ask me, but they shouldn't assume anything." · Of course, sometimes the decisions we make ARE political. Amy admits that she didn'tlike the idea of wearing something that essentially says "taken" wben her fiance wore no such marker. "But it doesn 'I bother me if other women do." And that, of course, is the key: to not be bothered by what other women do. Wbich jsn 't always easy. I confess that when I hear that a friend or acquaintance hss decided to take her husband's name, I ao feel a slight sting of disappointment -it does make me see her in a different way. But this is the kind of thinking that women, on ' all sides of the political spectrum, need to get away from. The culture wars are waged on the premise that so-called "traditional" and ''new " women somehow threaten each other, that the two cannot exist in harmony. Some women blame feminism for all the confusion, but to me that's like blaming the invention of the automobile for the fact that you get stuck in traffic sometimes. True, we probably wouldn't be in this jam if were still driving horses and buggies, but I for one am glad we have cars. · Th me, the real problem has been the divide-and 0 conquer mentality of our culture. Serious debate over women's issues in· this country has becomo nearly impossible because the politicians and th~ media prefer to stage catfights -- in which feminist and antifeminist women snipe at each other, botn accusing the other side of being the enemy of "real" women. The tactic js an effective one, as if sends the message that we are our worst .enemies and it gets men-- who, after all, are still pretty much in control of evel)' major corporation and government institution - completely off the hook. We need lo learn to ignore all the babble about how women should and should not behave. But before we can do that, we must stop judging each other. Because until we learn to respect ·each other's choices, we will never really be free.

"We played good fundamental • baseball, and that's what got us our ' ·runs." Reds manager Jack McKeon · ' said. "Stynes •s a hitting machine. He can find holes. He's 'effective • because he doesn't try to hit the ball out of the park every at-bat."

' · "We played all day, 18' innings, •and never had the lead one time," . Rockies manager Don Baylor said. ~ "That's depressing. We're not the same club in this ballpark as we' ve been in the past when we intimidated people. Today, their pitchers went right after us, pitched us inside -a lot, and we never adjusted." . The Reds tied a season high with 17 hits in the second game and had 30 in the twinbill. " I think they (Reds) were hitting .l34 on the road- and we gave up 30 hits today," Baylor said. "That's almost impossible. We didn't make many good pitches." Jeff Shaw pitched the ninth in both games, recording his 26th and 27th saves in 33 opponunities. Helton hit another solo homer off Shaw in the second game, and Colorado loaded the bases before Walker grounded into a game-ending double play. In the second game, the Reds used a walk and three straight hits in the first to score two runs off Mark Hutton (3-2). Stynes, who went 6for-11 in the doubleheader to boost his average to .449 (31-for-69) since his Aug. 8 callup from Indianapolis, had an RBI double. Eduardo Perez added a run-scoring single.

Cincinnati chased Hutton in the sixth. Nunnally led off with a tr1ple down the right-field line, and Brook Fordyce doubled. Lenny Harris, facmg reliever Darren Holmes, doubled off the wall in right-center for a 5-1 lead. Colorado countered with two runs in its half on Bichette's two-run single. Stynes had a run-sconng smgle off Curtis Leskanic in the eighth. Gabe White (2-1) allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings. In the first game, Cmcmnati got to Frank Castillo (10-11) for seven runs - only four earned - in the firsL f1ve mnings. Boone hit a two-run homer mside the nght-field foul pole in the second, and Perez's sucrifice fly made it 3-0 in the third . Cincinnati got four runs in the fifth . Pokey Reese led off the inning with a double - his third hit of the game - and scored on Nunnally's single. Perez singled, and Willie Greene's groundout produced 8floth· er run when the Rockies botched a double-play opponunity. Sanders, who had only six hits in his previous 34 at-bats, then hit his 17th homer. Pedro A. Maninez ( 1-0) rellred two batters in the sevenlh, working out ofajam for his first major-league win since leading San Diego over Philadelphia on July 22, 1994. Felix Rodriguez, making his first major-league stan, held the Rockies scoreless on two hits through four innings. But Colorado chased him in the fifth, scoring twice.

Coughlin concedes he IS taking a gamble by staning lhe season with only tw<>healthy quarterbacks on the roster. Todd Ph1lcox, the third-string quanerback last vear who started five games for the Cleveland Browns in 1993 and 1994, was released Sunday. To add a third quanerback, at least until Brunell returns, would have meant cutting another player lo make room on the roster. "That's the kind of hand we've been dealt," Coughlin said. "You're playing a risk,justlike you are on the roster playing with two quanerbacks. There is no comfort zone." The only comfortmg thought IS that Johnson , who never had a chance to run the offense, has looked prom1sing after Brunell's injury. He completed 72 percent of his passes for 506 yards and six touchdowns, and finished the preseason wilh a 142.9 pass efficiency rating . Sure, the Jaguars haven't missed a beat with Johnson at the helm But in his two years wnh the Jaguars, Johnson has played m only one gan1e that counted- if you can call II that - throwing seven passes during mop-up duty In a 44-0 loss to Detroit his rookie season "The pace w1ll pick up a little bu this week," McCardell said. "They 'II show him some d1fferen1thmgs. But he's been here long enough. He 's very confident in himself and we're confident in h1m. I don't expect the •ntenSity from h1m to back down." Coughlin wasn 't even planning to look around the league for quarterbacks until Brunell got hurt agamst the New York Giants. He not only found Matthews, but decided that an ineffective Ph!lcox wasn't worth keeping around . "With what happened with Mark's inJury, we needed to re-eval uate that whole scenario," Coughlin said. "We have to have a guy who can go on the field and give us more production." Matthews, a seventh-round p1ck in 1994, was having a good traming camp in Kansas City. The Chiefs waiVed him after dec1din~ to ~o with Pat Barnes, a founh-round draft pick, as the No. 3 quanerback behind Elv1s Grbac and Rich Gannon. "When I got released, chances were I'd be picked up, because I started getting some calls the next morning," Matthews said. "But to come m and be the No.2 quanerback is something I didn't expect." -' Matthews had a walk-through pract1ce and played the next day. going 3-of-8 for 84 yards and leading the Jaguars on three scoring dnves. He believes he'll be better off m the next game With a full week of pract1ce under his belt The Jaguars would rather not find that out just yet. Coughlin was troubl<;d that John son took some big hits last we~k agamst the Fakons. ThiS figures to be an Important week for the offensive line. "They have to keep people off · Rob, and the running game has to gel going," Rob1nson said "But I don't thmk you can go out there with an attitude of, 'Don't get the quarterback hurt. · "We want to wm the game- and hopefully, the quartcrhnck won't get hun ." "We' re slill moving ahead w1th the geographic realignment," Harnngton sa1d m a telephone mterview. "That's not saying we m1ght not change. It's really the best for the game. It may not be the best for a few clubs. Bul when you measure the advantages of the schedulmg for geographic realignment, it's re111arkable how a~vantageous 11 is. So you stan chipping away at il." Selig, who is strongly in favor of the plan, sa1d he was atlempting to change enough votes to ' gam ap~~val. .. . Each clu~ has leglllmate concems. and we re dealmg w1th ~~os~ concerns," Selig said. "I'm always an opumist. I was through revenue sharmg, mterleague play, three diVI· Slons and a w1ld card. So we 're talking to each club and trying to find out what we can do."
