I Friday, July 24, 2009 OBITUARIES www.coshoctontribune.com Proposed bill gives father say in abortion choice John WARSAW: A. Ancient mammal tracks found at national park Southwest Ohio. She said the woman would have to pay at least $1,400 for each DNA test if she is unsure who fathered the child. Brenner said the whole purpose of the bill is to make it harder to get a legal abortion. "It's insulting to women," Brenner said.

"It's a vehicle to deny a woman the right to have an abortion. Hope-. fully, it won't even get debate in the committee. This bill is blatantly antiwoman." Paula Westwood, executive director of Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati, said her anti-abortion group supports the bill, sponsored by GOP Rep. John Adams of Shelby County.

"I think it's courageous," Westwood said. think he (Adams) has taken a lot of heat for it. I would think men would want to have these rights." "It's just like the man doesn't exist," Westwood said of a woman's ability to have an abortion in Ohio without notifying the father. Adams introduced a similar bill two years ago. The bill died in the House Health Committee in July 2007, but was re on July 9.

House Bill 252 does not have the support of the House Democratic majority. The current version has not been assigned to a committee, and like past bills seeking new restrictions on abortion, it is unlikely to pass the Ohio House. Keary McCarthy, a spokesman for House Speaker Armond Budish of Beachwood, said Democrats have not reviewed the bill, but added, "That issue always incites a lot of passion." Budish was in Shaker Heights with President Obama Thursday; McCarthy said the speaker traditionally does not offer an opinion on a newly-introduced bill before it has even been assigned to a committee. Under Adams' bill, it would be a first -degree misdemeanor to commit "abortion fraud," punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Repeat offenders could be charged with a fifth-degree felony, punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.

The bill does not spell out exactly who could be fined or jailed. It just states "whoever violates this section is guilty of abortion fraud." Brenner however thinks doctors would ultimately be the ones fined or jailed. Kara Joseph, legislative aide to Adams, said the latest bill was amended to keep paternity tests from becoming public, and would not require a father's written, informed consent if he is dead. AP Photo This undated photo provided by the Dinosaur National Monument shows a small fossil mammal footprint, no bigger than a dime, on the Utah-Colorado border. Hundreds of tiny footprints left by mammals some 190 million years ago have been found on a canyon wall in a remote part of Dinosaur National Monument, park officials said Thursday.

The tracks are a rare find, mostly because they were left at a time when the area was a hostile, vast Sahara-like desert where towering sand dunes seldom preserved signs of animal life. tracks were preserved by a layer of moisture that created a slight crust on the dune and kept the prints from blowing away. There were likely once thousands more tracks in the area that have since been lost to erosion, Chure said. Similar track sites have been found elsewhere, but Chure said he didn't know of any that had as many individual footprints.

OBITUARIES BY JON CRAIG AND LISA PRESTON Gannett COLUMBUS A pregnant woman would have to have written informed consent from the father of the fetus if she wants an abortion in Ohio under a bill introduced in the General Assembly. If the prospective mother isn't sure who the father is, she would have to provide proof to the clinic of a paternity test of potential fathers, according to the bill, which is co-sponsored by five Cincinna -area Republicans. bill is very much a burden on a woman," said Becki? Brenner, president of Planned Parenthood of BY MIKE STARK Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY Hundreds of tiny footprints left by mammals some 190 million years ago have been found on a canyon wall in a remote part of Dinosaur National Monument, park officials said Thursday.

The tracks are a rare find, mostly because they were left at a time when the area was a hostile, vast Saharalike desert where towering sand dunes seldom preserved signs of animal life. "It's just Dan Chure, a paleontologist at the monument, said Thursday. "We were giggling like kids." He and paleontologist George Engelmann of the University of Nebraska at Omaha spotted the tracks July 8 while scouring the area for fossils and other evidence from the early Jurassic period. Dinosaur National Monument, founded because of its rich and plentiful supply of dinosaur bones, straddles the UtahColorado border. Most of the tracks are the size of a dime or smaller.

A few include impressions of up to four toes. The mammals perhaps the size of a rat were among the few species that were able to survive between large sand dune fields where there was water, dinosaurs and a few plants, Chure said. Because they were living in a forbidding desert environment, most animals probably came out at night, including the small mammals who left the tracks, Chure said. He said it's reasonable to assume the Harmon, Harmon, 56,, of CR 27 Coshocton, died Tuesday, July 21, 2009 as the result of an automobile accident. He was born January 25, 1953 in Coshocton Co.

Interspersed among the mammal footprints are tracks from larger animals, possibly small dinosaurs, Engelmann said. "This was a time when the ancestors of modern mammals were losing dominance on land to the dinosaurs," Engelmann said.

"It's near the beginning of a long time when dinosaurs ruled and our ancestors tried to stay out of the way." Park officials aren't disclosing the exact location of the sandstone canyon wall where the tracks were found because of concerns about vandalism. The area where the tracks were found is open to the public. The next steps will include mapping and counting the tracks and creating a cast that can be displayed at the monument's visitor center, Chure said. The monument, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this summer, is best known for hosting the nation's premier quarry of Jurassic period bones, some 1,500 of them. The newly found mammal tracks predate the bones at that site by 40 million to 50 million years, Chure said.
