"The other one was the governor's initiative, totally," said Senate President John "Eck" Rose, D-Winchester. Rose said administration officials decided who testified and wrote proposed legislation that fell flat when presented to the General Assembly. "The legislative members were there as observers," Rose said. "It'll be a totally different situation." Rose said members of the new task force will be decided at a meeting of the Legislative Research Commission in early June.

"The difference now is the General Assembly's bought into this process and will be a big player in developing this," Rose said. Rose said he thinks a new plan can be drafted and considered before the end of the year. Meanwhile, the legislature must still deal with the one topic still on the agenda for this special session, a replacement tax on health care service providers. Senate Appropriations and Revenue Chairman Mike Moloney, D-Lexington, said his committee will take up the bill Monday afternoon. The House version sets aside $120 million to pay hospitals for indigent care.

Although there is some talk of junking a provider tax in the Senate, Rose said it is unlikely.

Legislators said Friday that the special session on health care has been useful even though no reform legislation will pass. They said a study of health care reform in coming months will be much more productive than the one conducted by Gov.

Brereton Jones' administration. "I think it was a success. We had to be here to deal with the provider tax," said Majority Floor Leader Greg Stumbo, D-Prestons-burg. "It was a learning experience." At the same time, Stumbo said he agreed with the decision to cut the session off because nothing constructive was getting done. Lawmakers told Jones on Thursday afternoon that they were ending the session.

After resisting, Jones agreed and they settled on the idea of a new task force to put together a package in anticipation of another special session.

One expert testified the child died of sudden infant death syndrome.

WEATHERS The Cincinnati Enquirer A 39-year-old man in jail on a DUI charge was moved Friday from the Cincinnati cell he shared with an accused murderer after Legal Aid Society lawyers notified authorities of a violation of a court-ordered celling policy. Mary Asbury, Legal Aid Society executive director, said the agency confirmed Friday that corrections officials were violating the mandated celling policy of not placing anyone in the same cell with someone accused of a violent crime. Ohio, who is serving a six-month sentence for a DUI conviction, had been sharing a cell with Fred Stanley for two weeks, she said. Stanley, a 19-year-old retarded, deaf mute, is in the Justice Center awaiting trial on a murder charge. He is charged with the stabbing death of a 73-year-old Clifton Height woman three years ago.

"It is a violation of a federal court order," Asbury said. Osborne has polio and uses crutches; it would be difficult for him to defend himself, Asbury said. Guard waits in jail on $25,000 bond office informed officials of the Legal Aid Society complaint, he said. An investigation is under way to determine how Osborne was placed in the cell, Wolfangel said. "It's unfathomable he was in there in the first place," said legal aid lawyer Steve Olden, who visited Osborne Friday.

BY KRISTEN DELGUZZI The Cincinnati Enquirer Robbie Stringer, accused of trying to smuggle 13 rounds of ammunition to an inmate at the state's maximum-security prison, will probably spend the weekend in a Scioto County jail. Municipal Judge Howard Har-cha III set Stringer's bail at $25,000 Friday and postponed his arraignment until Monday, said Sandra Hall, assignment commissioner and court reporter for does not expect the case to go to trial. "We'll see if dn't have a quick resolution to all this probably within a week," Grimshaw said. Stringer brought six rounds of bullets into the prison last week, Warden Arthur Tate Jr. said.

He has been charged with conveying a weapon int0 a detention facility, a third-degree felony punishable by a $5,000 fine and two years in prison. Stringer, 32, was arrested Thursday at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville after he took seven rounds of bullets into the prison in a bag of Fritos' corn chips. The proceedings were scheduled for Friday, but Stringer did not have a lawyer present, Hall said. His attorney, Rick Faulkner, could not be reached for comment Friday. Prosecutor Lynn Grimshaw, who helped the Ohio State Highway Patrol with its week-long investigation of Stringer, said he Van Vyven: Wants to tell his story Inmates on hunger strike to protest lockdown suffered extensive medical expenses and mental anguish over the alleged conduct of Van Vyven, 58, a nine-term member of the Ohio House.

Jennings first made the allegations against Van Vyven in a civil lawsuit filed before Franklin County Common Pleas Court. That lawsuit was dropped, however, to allow the court of claims to determine whether Van Vyven's claim of civil immunity was valid. A similar pattern of legal steps was followed in 1988 involving State Auditor Thomas Ferguson. One of his former employees also claimed sexual harassment, and the court of claims declined to grant Ferguson immunity from the allegations. A subsequent common pleas lawsuit against Ferguson was dismissed in Cleveland.

were neither verified nor refuted by the court of claims decision. Van Vyven has steadfastly denied them, and he said a civil lawsuit against him by Jennings will "give me a chance to finally clear my name and reputation." "On the one hand, my family and I are dismayed that we face what apparently will be years of time-consuming and expensive litigation over absolutely false allegations," Van Vyven said. "On the other hand, this will allow these false charges to be rejected in court. This will give me a chance to tell a different side of the story." Jennings claims she was threatened with dismissal by Van Vyven unless she became intimate with him. Jennings eventually quit as Van Vyven's legislative secretary in late 1989 because, she said, of Van Vyven's persistence.

Since then, she claims to have CONTINUED FROM PAGE Bl proven by a preponderance of the evidence, Rep. Dale Van Vyven's conduct was at the least manifestly beyond the scope of his employment, which does not entitle him to immunity from civil suit," Leach wrote. The decision will require Van Vyven to hire his own defense attorney, should such a lawsuit be filed. Van Vyven had been represented for free by the office of Attorney General Lee Fisher. Ohio law shields state officials, including members of the legislature, from civil liability for damage or injury stemming from the performance of their official duties.

"I assume she will (sue)," Van Vyven, R-Sharonville, said Friday. One of Jennings' attorneys, Michael Oser, would not say whether he would refile the case. The specific allegations made by Jennings in various court filings inmates were killed during the siege. Five guards held hostage were released when the siege ended peacefully April 21. Hall said 38 Lucasville inmates are in the general population at the Mansfield prison, but 129 inmates from Block are in isolation units.

They have been confined to their cells since April 22. The inmates are allowed out of the cells, only to see a doctor or talk to their lawyers, Hall said- tant at the Mansfield prison. Twenty-two inmates didn't eat Thursday. "It seems they are unhappy with the condition of confinement," Hall said.
