Mahr was the sophomore state winner in the annual contest which this year consisted of a 300-word essay expressing thoughts on the subject "Mr. President. as a student my concerns are ..." Mahr. son of Ryan and Carol Mahr of Rutland, is believed to be the first Meigs County student to win a state award since the essay contests began in 1936. Coming to Meigs County Friday morning to announce the winner was a delegation of American Legion state officers including Gerald A. White. who is director of Americanism and Youth Activities of the American Legion of Ohio. In his essay Mahr. who is a student athlete and Boy Scout working on his Eagle Scout award, talked about the economy, education. national security. the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and bi-partisanship. "These five areas of concern can make or break your ability to govern," he wrote. "Mr. President the task of 'tackling' all of these issues in four years might be impossible. As you know the economy is in a deficit and qualifies for being a 'recession,' and some are calling it the worst since the Great Depression. This issue would be my first priority.''

Serenity UNDATED - There is more bad news on the job front in Ohio and West Virginia as January draws to a close. Both states saw an increase in unemployment figures in December. setting a negative tone for the fledgling new year. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reported Friday that the Buckeye State's jobless rate was 10.9 percent in December, up from November's rate of 10.6 percent. Cunently. 641,000 Ohioans are out of work. Individual county unemployment reports are due to be released SPORTS · ~ POMEROY - lt was opened to traffic on Dec. 30, 2008, dedicated and ceremoniously transferred to West Virginia in March of 2009. but as of Friday, the Bridge of Honor still belongs to the state of Ohio. Many in the public assumed the transfer took place long ago. Whether that assumption on the public's part is based on the March ceremony or the passage of time, the fact remains the wheels of bureaucracy are still moving, albeit slowly, and the bridge is still in Ohio's possession. On Friday, a spokesperson with the Ohio Department of Transportation's District 10 said ODOT is still working on a '·punch list'' of final but minor repairs and maintenance found during a walk- .. through last month. These items include a dented light pole and parts for the traffic signal on the West Virginia side of the bridge. Once these items are repaired, a final inspection will take place. Following the final inspection, the end of the financial odyssey begins when every penny is counted and the contractor signs off on the final numbers. As soon as this happens, the job is officially "closed out." The spokesperson said until all this happens, West Virginia will not accept ownership of the structure. Last month ODOT repmted the latest cost estimate on the bridge is $65.2 milOn Friday the lion. spokesperson said this number was close but could fluctuate up or down by roughly $500,000 when the project is actually closed.

House Haven of rest for victims of domestic abuse BY ELIZABETH RIGEL ERIGEL@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS Domestic violence and emotional abuse are behaviors used by one person in a relationship to control the other. whether married . dating, living together or separated, and is said to be the most underreported crime in the world. It can take many forms including physical aggression. sexual assault, emotional or psychological abuse. stalking, isolation, intimidation. and a host of other types of abuse. Domestic violence spans race, age, economic status, sexual preference and gender. though women tend to suffer greater rates of assault and subsequent injury due to physical stature. The Serenity House serves Gallia. Jackson and Meigs counties 24-hours a day to provide a way out for women suffering from domestic violence. It is a four-room. 12-bed facility aiding not only female victims, but their children as well. The shelter requires that visitors sign a disclosure to not release its location, and victims who do are not allowed to come back. In the past, Serenity House staff and law enforcement have had to deal with a few unwanted visitors, but for the most part Director Melissa Kimmel said the instances have been few and both the Gallipolis City Police Department and Gallia Please see Serenity, Al Old school being considered for Middleport Vi IIage Hall Bv BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINELCOM MIDDLEPORT Architect Randy Breech of Gallipolis has toured the old Middleport Elementary School and will meet with individual departments in village government as the first step in possibly converting the old school building into a new village hall. The building has been closed for nearly a decade, since the Meigs Local E lementary School was built at Rutland. The Meigs Local Board of Education gave the now 50-year old school and its older neighbors, the old central building and high school, to the village. It is not the first time village council has eyed the old Pearl Street grade school as a possible village hall. Shortly after the village took possession of the building. plans were developed for a new jail and village hall. Mayor Michael Gerlach said there is a definite need for a new village haiL and since the village a lready owns the school building, it seems a logica l choice.

JOYCE BROTHERS • Dear Dr. Brothers: My mom has been in and out of ad relationships for as long as I can remember. She's never been abused or anything, she just has a tendency to fall for men who inevitably leave her. I've told her a million times to be more careful, and every time, she says she'll never trust another man and that she's better off alone. Now she's about to get married again, and I'm afraid it's going to be the same story. Is there anything at all I can tell her that will change her mind? N.E. Dear N.E.: Yours seems, sadly, to be a common story, • especially among lower-income households. In a recent study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, 96 percent of low-income mothers expressed distrust of men, but this feeling didn't stop them from being in relationships or even getting married. These women described their mardages as trusting, despite their general feelings of distrust and insecurity with men. While this stu.dy focused on low-income women, it can be generalized to women regardless of race or social class - likely including your mother. Your mom has learned how to cope with these types of unhealthy relationships by suspending or misplacing her .normal need to feel secure and to trust her husband or boyfriend. This allows her to facilitate relationships albeit unhealthy ones - and accommodate the man of the moment, while still distrusting men in general. The tough part is that although your mom claims to recognize her oblem, she's so engrained in h~r pattern of beh~~ior that s very hard to change. Dependmg on how sensttive your om is to criticism, it may or may not be helpful to try to get her to see that the current man i~ just anoth_er one in the same pattern. Regardless. though, 1t may be ttme for your mom to try professional therapy, or at least a couples counselor. · ••• Dear Dr. ·B rothers: Whenever we have family gatherings -Thanksgiving. Christmas, weddings, even birthdays - I end up horribly sad and depressed. Irs not that I don't like my family; I just can't handle the stress of the big get-togethers. It makes me antisocial and dread these events. especially if something starts to go wrong. Why does this happen to me, when normally I'm so happy with my family? Is there anything I can do to stop these feelings? - C.R. Dear C.R.: Unfortunately, it's all too common for people to be sad and depressed around big family events, especially holidays. Paradoxically, the higber our expec~ tations for an event. the less likely we are to be happy with the outcome. It sounds like you're stressing yourself 'out trying to be perfect or make things perfect for your 'family, when what you really need to do is relax and enjoy the company of the people you Jove. The more you idealize an event, the more likely you are to end up frustrated and disappointed. . The same idea applies to the people in your fam!ly. · While you may have an idea of exactly how your relatives should behave and who should do what. it's better accept them for who they are rather than who you • ant them to be. If the problem is relentless fighting within the family when you get together, there ·s not much you can do besides control your own behavior. lt's hard to stop family feuds, but you can call a truce for yourself, at least, vowing that no matter what someone says, you won't react. This can serve to inspire other warring family members and potentially bring peace even if it's only temporary. Another great way to inspire family togetherness is by telling stories and reliving the _good times you've had together. Even sad memories. while melancholy, can remind your relatives why they're thankful for one another. , (c) 2010 by King Features Syndicate Sunday, January 24,2010 GaUia County calendar MeetingsEvents Monday, Jan. 25 BIDWELL Adult Walking Group, 5 p.m., River Valley High School, Bidwell.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution YOUR OPINION Disappointment Dear Editor: 1 am writing this letter because of my disappointment with the Gallipolis City School Board. I was reading the paper and I was shocked by the article on the latest school board meeting. The school board made an arrangement with the county to place a sewage waste water treatment plant across from Galli a Academy High School on Centenary Road. · Frankly. I think this immoral deal is just another idea to earn more money for the school system. I have heard Mr. Wilson on multiple occasions talking about how Mr. Pitchford wanted the land utilized for school operation only. Mr. Wilson also mentioned this at the board meeting. It appalls me to hear that a non-school building is being built on Pitchford's land. Honorable. trustwotthy people should not have to see an agreement written down in contract for them to follow it. Also, l agree with Dr. Kyger on the issue about the safety of Centenary Road. A pothole-covered Centenary Road with no edge or center lines should be placed at the top of our priolity list. 1 think the act of placing a sewage plant across the road from a school is totally irresponsible. What more does the board need than an engineer telling them the school will have a stench. Specifically, I don't want to ~o to a rancid. disgusting GalliaAcademy High SchooL Had I known the deal was on the agenda, I would have been present at the meeting. I am sure that most of the students and residents in this school district oppose this transaction. David Saunders Gallia Academy student Gallipolis TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 2010. There are 341 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 24, 1848, James W. Marshall discovered a gold nugget at Sutter's Mill in northern California, a discovery that led to the gold rush of '49. On this date: In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill concluded a wartime conference in Casablanca, Morocco. In 1985, the space shuttle Discovery was launched from Cape Canaveral on the first secret, all-military shuttle mission. In 1989, confessed serial killer Theodore Bundy was executed in Florida's electric chair. In 2003, Tom Ridge was sworn in as the first head of the new Department of Homeland Security. Thought for Today: "God gives us relatives; thank God, we can choose our friends." - Addison Mizner, American architect (1872·1933). ' Moment if illumination We've all had those sudden epiphanies where the proverbial light bulb clicks on and understanding comes into clear focus. I had one of those moments over the Christmas holiday season. In this case. the light bulb experience was literal as well as figurative. Here is what happened: My wife came home all excited because she had found strands of battery-powered Christmas lights to add some pizzazz to a couple of wreathes in our living room. The excitement gave way to glumness as soon as the "on" switch was turned. Instead of bright, cheery. Christmassy points of light, the LED bulbs emitted a pale, weird. sickly light of indeterminate bluish hue. Yuck! Welcome to the dreary world of politically correct Christmas lights. Such wan, ghastly Christmas lights may bring joy to the hearts of worshipers of Gaia and those who put up "unity trees" inste;td of Christmas trees, but for those of us who are still quaint and old-fashioned enough to want a festive and joyous atmosphere in which to celebrate the birth of our Savior, those ugly-though-energyefficient LEDs were a big humbug. The austerity of a green future was apparent again when I turned on our new energy-efficient outdoor light on the back porch. I thought the new bulb must have already broken. because the twilight seemed as dark as it had before I flipped the switch. When I went outside to check, I saw that the light "worked." The bulb was emitting about half the light that a match would provide. As most of you readers probably know already. these ''modern'' energy-efficient bulbs take time to warm up. Do environmentalists really believe that using bulbs that no longer give us instant illumination is progress? Some of these wretched new bulbs also represent a retrograde step in terms of human safety. They contain mercury. For decades, we. have MarkW. Hendrickson searched for ways to lessen human exposure to this highly toxic element. Now our environmentally enlightened leaders have legislated a phaseout of tried-and-true incandescent bulbs in favor of bulbs that give inferior performance while posing a greater health hazard. For those na'ive enough to believe that environmentalism is about making the world more livable for humans, these new-fangled, pathetic excuses for light bulbs should suffice to conect that misapprehension. The greens want to punish us for having dared to convert Mother Eatth 's raw materials into products that improve our quality of Jife so magnificently. President Obama is a believer in this grim green Puritanism. During his presidential campaign he chastised the American people for our affluenc~. asserting moralistically. "We can't drive our SUYs and, you know. eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that every other country is going to say OK. You guys go ahead and keep on using 25 percent of the world's energy, even though you only account for three percent of the population.'' The implication is that Americans have been piggish, hogging an unfair percentage of the world's depleted resources. This view is flawed. In the first place, we have consumed so much energy simply because we have been free to do so. Whenever countries adopt market economies - that is, when they protect property rights and protect legitimate (i.e., non-coercive, non-fraudulent) profit-seeking behavior human productivity, energy consumption. and prosperity all rise in lockstep. It is NOT the United States' fault that foreign governments so long impeded the economic freedom and concomitant energy consumption of their citizens. Secondly, it is fallacious to view energy supplies as nearing exhaustion. In their book "The Bottomless Well,'' Peter W. Huber and Mark P. Mills tell us that human beings consume approximately 350 Quads (a quadrillion BTUs) of energy per year. KNOWN (I'm emphasizing ''known," because more will surely be found) global coal deposits contain some 200,000 Quads of energy; oil shale deposits, lO million Quad·s· uranium and its cousin elements co tain even more; and the deuterium 1 the world's oceans contains at least 10 trillion Quads of energy that will be unlocked when nuclear fusion technology is developed. Since the Huber and Mills book was written. Brazil has found billions of additional batTels of recoverable oil off its shores. BP has found billions more in the Gulf of Mexico. Humans will never use all the energy that our energy-rich world contains. Someday. our descendants will look back at the vigorous efforts of greens and liberals to keep us from developing the most economical forms of energy with bemtisement and bewilderment. The energy is there. What would you rather do tap in to nature's bountiful supplies, or put up with light bulbs that don't give instant light and the eerie, gloomy beams of politically correct light bulbs at Christmastime? (Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson is an. adjunct faculty member, economist, and conJributing scholar with The Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College.) · • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

The New York Jets' rookJuarterback showed up at news conference Friday wearing a black T-shirt with • the word "Wonderboy" printed across the chest, complete with a silver lightning bolt. ··Yep. Roy Hobbs." SancheL said with a big smile. Hobbs, of course, is the power-hitting character played by Robert Redford in the 1984 film, "The Natural." The movie was based on Bernard Malamud's 1952 novel of the same name in which Hobbs carves his beloved 'bat, "Wonderboy:· out of a tree that was split in half by a lightning bolt.

"And once you get here, you know, all of the excitement of it and distractions, really, you just focus on playing." That's also what the Jets are doing with their game plan Ryan is no longer using the color-coded sys- tem he create<! for Sanchez earlier this season to help him respond to certain game situations better.

Ohio (AP) - First, Mo Williams. Then, Delonte West . With the speed in which Cleveland startin[5 point guards are droppmg with mjuries these days. it's no wonder Daniel Gibson was a little skittish after practice. "I need to stay a"Yay from those two guys," Gibson said. The Cavaliers' backcourt woes worsened Friday when the team learned that West broke his left ring finger in Thursday night's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. West's injury to his shooting hand came in his first start since replacing Williams, who could miss up to six weeks for the Eastem Conference leaders after spraining his left shoulder in a game Tuesday against Toronto. West will miss Saturday's game against Oklahoma City, but the Cavs do not yet know how long he will be sidelined. Doctors need a few days for the swelling to go down before they can complete their evaluation. West fractured his finger while scrambling after a loose ball in the fourth quarter of the Cavs' victory - their second over the defending NBA champions in less than a month. Gibson. whose minutes had been cut lately, will take over point guard duties until West returns. Gibson normally runs the point for Cleveland's scout team. "The last couple weeks, r ve been hoping to catch some minutes and it looks like now I got my wish," Gibson said. ''I just want to go out there and have fun. That's going to be my biggest thing, just enjoy the moment. You get these opportunities and when they come you just want to take advantage of them.'' Gibson's time had waned mostly because of his shaky defense and Brown's preference to have bigger guards on the floor. Despite his defensive limitations, Gibson leads the league in 3-point accuracy (48 percent) and has averaged 5.6 points in 37 games off the bench.· Cavs coach Mike Brown said general manager Danny Southern • from Page Bl had an excellent all-around game with six points, 11 rebounds. eight assists. and five steals, as well as taking a charge defensively. Southern also saw scoring by Zach Manuel with seven points and two points each from Taylor Deem and "Colby Roseberry. The Lancers were led by Brendan Torrence with 18 points. Tyler Thompson scored 14 points, Ryan Rex had 11 points. Dewayne Clark had eight points, Evan McCune added seven points. and Aaron McPherson and Chris Saylor each scored two points.

"We may have to do it by committee,'' said Brown, who said there are' other factors to consider. "One, is how long is he (West) going to be out for? The second one is, knock on wood, what if Gib <Yoes down? Nobody thought that Delonte would go down in the game after Mo. "We have capable ballhandlers.'' Gibson's objectives are to take care of the ball. run Cleveland's offense and not force shots.

We have a lot of guys on the floor capable of doing big things. So what I have to do out there is just go out and be solid. That's my main focus - go out and play great defense. keep guys motivated and make a couple shou. easier for my teammates. "I played point guard in college so now I get the opportunity to play it at the highest level." West's start on Thursday was his first this season. He scored just three points, but added four rebounds. three assists and two blocks in nearly 43 minutes. He also guarded Kobe Bryant down the stretch, and w1th some doubleteam help, did a decent job on the Lakers superstar. "The way the game went was kind of how Delonte·s game is," said Brown. ''He's a tough, take-what-the-defensegives-you type of guy. That's how we play and that's what you like . He stepped up and hit a big 3 for us late m the game. I was a little wonied because I didn't want to play him too many minutes but I got him just enough rest in the first half that I ran him the whole second half. "He played a good game for us." • January Specials · 21 Vehicles Under $10,000 Majo$ Mark Downs!!

Among these aquatic critters are the bea\er, muskrat and river otter. along with raccoon. mink, whitetail deer, bald eagk and osprey as the more visible riverine residents. The American Beaver is North America's largest member of the rodent family and arc generally between 25 and 30 inches long with a tail between 9 and I 0 inches long. They can weigh anywhere from 30 to 60 pounds. Once common in Ohio. the beaver were trapped nearly to the point of extinction but ha\e since returned. Beavers living along the river don't live ir. typical beaver lodges but construct burrows \Vith underwater entrances. It b easy to tell when beavers are 111 the area; just look for gnawed-off trees and shrubs. Bald eagle sightings are occurring more frequently in the. Great Bend area and the sight of an adult bald eagle With its while head and tail feathers and dark brown. almost black body should definitely make you stop and take notice. There arc few· sights that equal spotting our national emblem in the \Vild. Immature bald eagles lack In the Open Jim Freeman the characteristic white head and tail feathers and may not be recognized as bald eagles to the inexperienced observer. An ideal bald eagle nesting site would include ample supplies of food (fish) within a couple miles of the nest and would be somewhat secluded. However it appears that bald eagles are adapting to the presence of humans, which should help the species' odds of survival. The bald eagle is no longer considered an endangered species. but is still listed as threatened and protected. Should you be lucky enough to observe a bald eagle in your vicinity, make sure you enjoy the view. Much of the wildlife in Meigs County. and pretty much anywhere else now that I think about it, depends upon rivers and streams. which is why protecting and restoring 1iparian habitat is so important. ''Riparian is a fancy way of saying streamside. so when someone talks about a riparian corridor they arc usually referring to the land immediately adjacent a ·stream, creek or river... preferabl) a treelined area \\ hich shades the water, cooh it. provides habitat ,and food, and helps prevent strcamhank erosion.

This week it was a room packed with Meigs County Probate Court records, some dating back to the I 850s and going forward from there to the early 1920s. The indexed files can be pulled for study by attorneys or others doing research. In addition to the file records. there are a dozen or two large books containing records on wills. The records were moved to the Museum several years ago for safe keepng because of the storage problem in the Meigs County Courthouse. ••• Submitted photo AGING ISSUES An open discussion of your end-oflife choices Discussions about advance directives, wills, estate planning and funeral arrangements are not just for the end of life - they should be part of family life. Communication and advance planning can help families avoid feeling burdened or guilty, help clear up and even avoid misunderstandings. and lessen the potential for conflict that family members may experience when they are put in the position of making decisions for you. The best time you can discuss your end-of-life decisions with your family is when you are healthy, long before those decisions are needed. Talking about your preferences with your family will give them the guidance they need when making difficult decisions about end-of-life care, ensuring that your wishes are known and followed, if you cannot communicate those choices yourself. Pre-planning can include financial matters as well as healthcare preferences and is important for "peace of mind," for yourself and your family. For many families, the holidays are a time that everyone comes together in one location, which makes it the perfect occasion to bring up important family issues. But end-of-life choices can be a sensitive topic in some families. Some people cannot bring themselves to think about the illness or death of a loved one and all that implies. Others find discussing wills and funeral arrangements depressing or in poor taste. You may want to consider introducing this topic by referring to a related news article you read, a TV program you watched, or by sharing your thoughts about another person's illness or dying that made an on you. impression Understand that it is normal to encounter resistance the first time you bring up this topic and try again at another time or actually make an appointment with your family for the conversation. Topics to talk about in your discussion of your end-of-life care wishes include: • The locations of your important documents like your last will and testament ~-------- Barbara Riley (about your estate) and your living will and durable power of attorney for healthcare (about your medical treatment preferences and your healthcare decision maker); • What types of treatment you would prefer if you were diagnosed with a lifelimiting illness; • What types of treatment you would prefer if you were diagnosed with a lifelimiting illness; • Your values and the types of activities and events that make life especially meaningful for you; • The person you want to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so; • How you would like your choices honored at the end of your life; and • How your famHy can best support you and respect your wishes. Remember, this is a conversation, not an argument and honoring a person's wishes is an expression of love and support. Make an effort to hear and understand what family members are saying. These moments. although possibly difficult, are important to all of you. Help your family to understand that while they may not agree with your choices, you have the right to make these choices and it is important that you can rely on them to honor your wishes.

(Barbara E. Riley is director of the Ohio Department of Aging.) You may remember that improvements to the Mulberry Avenue Pond were stopped last fall when the construction of decking along one side ran into underground utility lines. Pomeroy Village had the money to continue the work, but lacked right-of-way clearance to proceed. Some location changes have been made now and Mayor John Musser says the work wBl go forward this spring. The plans now call for additional decking to be built on the other side of the pond with a path to extend back toward the waterfall where a wider flat area can be developed into a play and picnic place. For that phase of the overall project there is about $10 ,000 available to work with, a Naturework's grant from ODNR and the 25 percent match from the village. The next phase is to get money for cleanup of the lake itself and to build a bridge across. Chairman Jim Smith is relentless in his efforts to get more money so the project can be complete and he continues writing letters to state officials asking for help. He's not one to give up easily. ••• We've come a long way. I didn't know until recently that right here in Meigs County in the early 1900s there was a company which produced cement blocks. one at a time. Seems the concrete was poured into a mold where it had to remain until it was set up, and then removed so that another one could be made. One of the block makers is on display in the antique tool and implement room at the Museum. •• • Last week I mentioned the ice in the river. Several people responded with reflections on when. where and what happened, others sent along pictures. and still others told family stoties of activities on the icecovered river in years long past.

NEW YORK - If it took 20 years to put on, say, 20 pounds, the chances of taking them off in the weeks or days before your high school or college reunion are, let's face it, slim to none. But come in with a radiant smile, a sense of accomplishment and a slimming black dress, and your thicker middle or graying hair might go unnoticed. Reunions are a source of excitement and dread that so many people - from recent grads to Baby Boomers and beyond - can relate to. And they're enjoying a high-profile moment with at least two new reunion-themed diet books, countless Facebook pages and a heavily promoted third season of a reality show on TV Land. "What I find so fascinating about this series is the anxiety - good and bad. But everyone is anxious to get back and see people you have a history with," says Keith Cox, executive producer of "High School Reunion." · "The people who have peace with who they were are fine. no matter who they were. If they were the nerd and are fine with it, then they're fine now. It's the people who don't have peace with it that struggle with the reunion," he says. "A reunion really isn't about what other people think, it's what you think." All those memories of football games and proms can be an instigator to take stock of the present, adds Christie Mellor, author of the upcoming book "You Look Fine, Really." Instead of trying to recapture your youth, consider what would make you happy now and make that your goal, she says. It cotrld be losing your pooch on your belly, it could be running a marathon or it could be a promotion at work. "People will be looking at my eyes to see if I'm a happy, joyful person .... That's what people take away from reunions - who looks happy," Mellor says, adding "a lot of size Os can be unhappy." But Lisa Dorfman, co-author of "The Reunion Diet," says the idea of a little healthy competition among{eers can steer you toward an improved version of yoursel . There's no better control group for comparison than your former classmates because everyone started from essentially the same place, says Porfman, who recently attended her 30th high school reunion. "They're a benchmark of who we were and how far we've come." High school seems ~o be ''the big one," agrees co-auth~r Sandra Gordon. "Those were the formative years, that s who you were before life got so layered . When you're with your high school friends, you go back to yourself." In their research, they found that even those who went back to their reunion with a little revenge in mind often fell into old routines with old friends - and were happy to do it. Of course, it didn't hurt if there was acknowledgment from the captain of the football team, especially if he never · talked to you back then, Gordon notes . But the thought of seeing these people shouldn't prompt a drastic new haircut or plastic surgery, Mellor says. "It's a chance to reinvent yourself a little but not do a makeover. It's a great opportunity to present yourself in the way you'd like to be seen." A lot of people want to look 20 years younger, rep<?rts dermatologist Dr. David Colbert, author of ''The High School Reunion Diet." "Twenty years seems to be a magic number - I don't know why," he says. It can be done - although not overnight, he adds. "The idea for the book is that the people I see looking their best ... are eating their best. Good food is better than Botox." In the months before the big event, Colbert suggests: cut out sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, give up packaged food and eat those green leafy vegetables loaded with vitamins. When your body is healthy, it shows in your appearance, Colbert says. Still, there are last-minute beauty boosts that also can help you feel a little more confident, says Liz Vaccariello, editor-in-chief of Prevention magazine, including avoiding raw vegetables, gum, frie~ foo~ and soda for_ a few days to keep air out of the gastromtestmal track, which can create the appearance of belly bulge.

N.D. - ln his 60 years on the farm. Milton Sovo Jr. has raised everything from peanuts and wheat to cattle and horses in southwestern Oklahoma. At about I ,100 acres. his spread is about triple the size of the typical U.S. farm. But Sovo is no tycoon. He farms on the KiowaComanche-Apache reservation. where he said the soil remains poor after the Dust Bowl swept away the best topsoil in the 1930s. He can't rei y on the land to make a living and has toiled for decades at a second. offthe-farm job. Sovo is fairly typical ong American Indian mers, who tend to have • more land but less income than those of other races. They're also less likely to receive government aid intended to help struggling farmers. according to new data. Agriculture officials said the Jack of aid is partly because American Indians have shied away from corn. wheat and other subsidized crops. But some American Indian farmers have filed a discrimination lawsuit. claiming they have been denied government loans and other he) p given to white farmers raising the same animals and crops. Relatively little was known about American Indian farmers until the most recent agricultural census because the U.S. Department of Agriculture d counted all farms on a rvation as one. The ncy changed that rule for the 2007 census. and data released over the past year has provided the first reliable look at how those farmers are doing. The census found stark differences between the nation's 80,000 American Indian farmers and those of other races. The typical American farm is 400 acres. but American Indian farmers average about 1 ,400 acres. Many are ranchers. Most live in the desert Southwest. Oklahoma or Montana. Their farms average about $40,000 a year in sales. compared to $135,000 for farms overall. But relatively few get government aid - only 13 percent, compared to 39 percent of white farmers. Sovo said that although farming has not enriched , he is perfectly fine with way of life because he • and other American Indian farmers aren't always trying to make the most money possible off the land. "We're in a culture that shares the heart and soul of the land with our own being," said Sovo, who has AP photos George and Marilyn Keepseagle walk past the house where George grew up, in Fort Yates, N.D. The couple are lead plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit that contends Indian Farmers and ranchers lost about $600 million in income because of discrimination in lending by the U.S. Agriculture Department. George and Marilyn Keepseagle talk about the lawsuit, at their kitchen table, in Fort Yates, N.D. worked for 35 years for a tribal land management and conservation organization to supplement his income. "The land is part of us and we're part of the land. We've always been taught to leave things for our children, use only what we need. We want to make as much money as we can but we also want to conserve what we have.'' For that reason, many American Indian farmers use as few chemicals as possible, he and others said. That limits their choice of crops. Corn, for example, requires a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer. American Indian farmers also are often limited by the types of soil found on their reservations, said Ross Racine. director of the Billings, Mont.-based Intertribal Agriculture Council, which represents 84 tribes from Florida to Alaska and California to Maine. With corn, wheat and other subsidized crops unlikely to thrive on their farms. many have turned to raising livestock. Of the 56 million acres owned by American Indians, 46 million is used for grazing, Racine said. Sovo said one reason that American Indian fatms tend to .be big is that family members often combine their land to try to create stronger operations. ''It's very uphill, it's very hard,'' Sovo said. ''But when you're in agriculture, and when you love the land, it takes a lot of that hard and hurt away." Other American Indians said some federal workers· practices in lending money have made their lives and work harder than necessary. George Keepseagle and his wife, Marilyn, are lead plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit that was filed against the government in November 1999. The lawsuit contends that American Indian farmers and ranchers lost about $600 million in income from 198 l to 2007 because of discrimination in . lending by the Agriculture Department. ''Native Americans are stereotyped, either as drunk or lazy. and not capable of, I guess, competing with white farmers and ranchers," Keepseagle said. "White people farm here, too. but they can get financing and we can't." The 69-year-old rancher and his 72-year-old wife said they've struggled every year to make a profit and get operating money for their ranch. To get by. they've cashed in life insurance policies and sold nearly 400 of the almost 900 acres they once had on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation on the North Dakota-South Dakota border. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said this fall that he is committed to resolving the class action lawsuit, and settlement talks are in the works. Federal officials said they've already taken steps to get more money to American Indian farmers who need it. The Farm Service Agency for nearly a decade has paid for a National Tribal Development Association program that works with farmers in 250 tribes in 28 states. helping them apply for loans. Program administrator Lou Anne Kling said it has helped American Indian farmers get nearly $37 million in loans in the past decade. Washington lawyer Joe Sellers. the lead attorney for the farmers in their lawsuit against Agriculture Department, said change must happen throughout the agency. not just at the top. Attorneys have had difficulty determining the extent of possible loan discrimination because civil rights complaints for years were not documented, were destroyed or were not passed on to superiors by Agriculture Department officials in the field, he said. Keepseagle worries any settlement or policy change would come too late to keep mounting debts from forcing him into foreclosure. "lf that happens, we have basically worked all our life for nothing," he said. "It's devastating.'' Internet: (On the Intertribal Agriculture Council: www.indianaglink.com) Foundation means everything in a rock garden B Y D EAN F OSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Choosing the right rocks can be as much fun as selecting plants when you're building a rock garden. Stones create protective wind and sun barriers, and pockets of moisture for small, low-growing alpine wers. Meanwhile. they contributing tones and tures all their own. "The first line in the 'Sakuteiki,' the oldest and most respected treatise on how to design a garden in Japan. is about the art of setting stone," said Marc Peter Keane, a landscape architect and educator from Ithaca, N.Y. "Everything follows from there. Rocks are absolutely primary." Rock placement must be done skillfully so that "even l .. persons knowledgeable about natural formations cannot easily detect the artifice," wrote the late Thomas H. Everett, who was horticulture director and senior curator of education at The New York Botanical Garden, in an account posted on the North American Rock Garden Society Web site. "Transported rocks must match precisely those of the site and be positioned as though placed by nature." Availability often determines the kinds of rock you'll use. "Where choice may be had. one that is porous. rather than such hard, impervious types as granite and schist, is to be preferred," Everett said. "Weathered pieces collected from the surface of the ground and of a character and color that suggest age are likely to be ideal." More artistic flair is required for fashioning Japanese gardens than alpine ones, Keane said. "With a Japanese garden, you don't try to create a garden that resembles nature as much as you try to distill it. You create the artwork that brings out some important (site) characteristics." The rocks should be subdued, not lavish or colorful, said Keane, who designed the stone garden for the recent Kiku exhibition at The New York Botanical Garden. "They should have personalities but not be flamboyant." It also is essential that Japanese gardens be enclosed in some type of courtyard or space, Keane said. "It's like putting a frame around them. You don't want them out in the landscape. They wmM be lost." The best stones for rock gardens are any that fit your environment, said John Strickland, who with his wife, Nancy, owns and operates the Dry Creek Garden Co. in Reno. Nev. ''That's not only for aesthetic purposes but because they're so labor intensive to get," Strickland said. "The ideal rock is the one you have close by." Angular rocks are easier to work with than round river rocks. he said. ''You're talking about creating formations, things like streams and watetfalls. shelves and crevices. Rocks with Iichens on them are a bonus. They give you a patina kind of look." Ask, though. before you L go about gathering rocks. "You'll generally get permission from people who don't assign any value to the rocks they have on their property," Strickland said. "If nothing else. some rocks are available for purchase and can be delivered." Here are some Bureau of Land Management policies governing rock col Jecting on federal lands. Some areas, particularly campgrounds, cultural and historic sites. and natural areas are off-limits. And you may need a permit or have to pay a fee, if you: • gather more than a pickup-truck load or make more than one trip. • remove more than 250 pounds of rocks. • make the material available for commercial use, or • use power equipment or explosives to remove rocks from the ground. Most rock gardens are designed for temperate areas where they mimic mountain conditions with sunny, wind-blown and well-drained sites. But that doesn't mean you can't create a water-wise desert rock garden, adding succulents. conifers and cactus. You also could build a rock garden if you're space deprived - living in an apartment. for instance. Alpine plants are small. colorful and hardy. making them great for use in containers. "Give them the drainage they need: the protection they need." Strickland said. "Create the right microclimates and you'll reduce maintenance chores. You'll only have to go out there and trim things or replant once in a while." �i>unbap ~tmes -i>enttnel EXTENSION (ORNER 1riH1IE FFA Citrus Sale PageD Sunday, January 24, 2010 B Y HAL KNEEN It has been reported that the first snowdrops, (Galanthus) have popped out of the ground and are blooming on Lincoln Hill, Pomeroy. It is too late to plant these bulbs for this year's bloom. However, bring a little spring time beauty into your home by cutting branches of spring floweting shrubs and forcing them into bloom. Forsythia. flowering quince. redbud, Carnelian cheny, magnolias. crabapples, apples, pussy willows and flowering cherries may be forced into bloom in twenty to thirty days. Cut the branches 24 to 36 inches in length. Cut an inch off the base of the branches once inside the house and plunge immediately into warm (90 degree) water and place into a 55 to 60 degree but dark room. Cut the base of the stem every three or four days and change with fresh warm water. The branch's water intake cells (xylem and phloem) become easily clogged. Re-cutting the stems remove the clogged cells and allow the branch to take up additional fresh water. After fourteen days indoors move the cut branches into full sunlight but still a 55-60 degree room. Continue to cut the branches every three to four days and replace the water at the same time. You should have branches in full bloom within one to two weeks. Forcing the branches in 70 degree room temperatures will reduce flower size and may cause the flowers to abort. Forsythia. pussy willow. magnolias and cherries seem to be the easiest to force. Enjoy these branches and share with neighbors and loved ones . ••• We still have free tickets to Power Show Ohio being held Januruy 29-31 at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds in Columbus.

Applications for farmland preservation funding now available T IMES-SENTINEL STAFF MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM COLUMBUS -The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP). administered by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), is now accepting applications for funding. Organizations with an eligible farmland preservation program can apply for FRPP. which provides up to half of the appraised fair market value of the farm's preservation easement. While FRPP offers a continuous sign-up, eligible entities must submit applications by March I. 2010, to receive consideration for funding in fiscal year 2010. Funds must be obligated by April I, 2010. According to Matthew Harbage, NRCS State FRPP Program Manager, "Applications must come from eligible entities with eligible farm and ranch land. Eligible entities include State, Tribal, or local governments as well as nongovernment organizations that meet specific requirements." Entities must have: • An established farm and ranch land protection program, • Authority to hold and manage easements, • Capacity to acquire, manage, and enforce the easements, and • Funds to match the Federal contribution. At least 50 percent of the easement's appraised fair market value must be provided by the applicant. Landowners may accept less than the appraised fair market value of the easement; the difference between the appraised value and the purchase price the landowners are willing to accept is considered a landowner donation. All applicant entities and landowners will be evaluated to confirm eligibility. Individual parcels will be evaluated for eligibility and quality; the highest quality parcels for which the Ohio NRCS State Office has funding will be selected ~nd funded. Ranking and selection of parcels will take ~lace immediately after the March l, 2010, deadline.

Slab Register now for conservation assistance Over $18 million available to Ohio landowners TIMES-SENTINEL STAFF MDTNEWSOMYDAILYTAIBUNE COM COLUMBLS Ohio agricultural producer:. and landowners imcrested in protecting or improv_ing natural resources on thctr land arc urged to contact their local USDA Natural Resources Service Conservation (NRCS) office before February 16 to take advantage of financial assistance in 2010. While most NRCS programs are offered through a continuous sign-up. NRCS typically makes funding selections once a year. .. A new decade is here which promises to focus more on natural resources and the interrelationship between soiL air. water. animals. plants. and most cntically. people. By implementing practices to protect and restore natural rc~ources now. landowners will be in a position to take advantage of innovative new opportunities that may evolve:· said State Conservationist Terry Cosby. "With the conservation programs available through NRCS. producers can get the assistance they need to plan, design, and install natural resources protecting conser C\ en vation practices. as well as financial assistance for a portion of the cost of implementing these consef\ation practices." NRCS administers a suite of con sen ation programs designed to address various natural resource issues on private \\orking land and private. nonindu-,trial forest land. Five primary conservation programs include: • Environmental Quality Incentives Program {EQIP) • Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) • Wetlands Reserve Program {WRP) • Gra~sland Reserve Program (GRP) • Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP) Each program focuses on a different aspect of natural resources conservation. as is indicated in the name of the program. In addition to regular consef\'ation programs. special funding pools are available for nonindustrial private forest owners and producers in counties with air quality issues. Interested agricultural producers and landowners are encouraged to contact their local USDA Service Center office or check the agency's Web site at www.oh.nrcs.usda.gov for more information. Seasonal bulb ordering discussed at Open Gate meeting RIO GRANDE Ordering seasonal bulbs by mail was the topic of discussion at the November meeting of the Open Gate Garden Club. Eleanor fadeley hosted the meeting at her home and presented the program. Brenda Covert served as hostess. According to fadeley, whether you· re a green thumb or all thumbs, planting bulbs is a no brainer. When bulbs arrive, they should be planted as soon as the ground is cool In most parts of the country. this would be around the time of the first frost. when evening temperatures average between 40 degrees and 50 degrees. Plant at least six weeks before the ground frcc1es. When bu Ibs arri\ c in the mail or from the garden center. they have instruc- tions included. Be sure to read the instructions and keep the label together with the bulbs. You can plant just about anyv.here in your garden. so long as the soil drains well. Avoid areas \Vhere water collects, like the foot of a hill. Prepare the planting bed by digging the soil so it's loose and workable. Plant the pomty end up. Plant big bulbs about eight inches deep and small bulbs about five inches deep. No fertiliier is necessary for the first year. Bulbs are natural storehouses of food. They don't need anything to flower the first year. If you do fertili1e, never mix fertilizer in the planting hole. It can bum the roots. Also do not add bone meal. Plant bulbs in clusters. Do not plant one bulb alone or make a long. thin line along the walk. Clusters ghe <t concentration of color for greate~t impact. Plant to" bulbs in front of high ones. The low-growing bulbs bloom early and the tall bulbs bloom late. You can plant small bulbs in a layer right on top of larger bulbs. If you plant bulbs that flower in the same period. you can create an interestmg double-decker effect. Garden pests like deer and squirrels are a real problem in many areas of the country. In fall, gardeners gear up to spring-blossoming plant bulbs. Some of the most popular bulbs - tulips. crocuses arc considered treats by animal pests. Daffodils and alliurns are generally shunned because of their bitter ta~tc. Here is a list of pe~t-resistant bulbs: camassia, chionodoxa. colchium. crocus, eranthis. galanthus, fritillaria, h) acinthoides. hyacinth us. luecojum .. muscari. narcissua. orithogalum. oxalis and sctlls. Summer bulbs - canna. caladium, dahlias, begonias. elephant ears. oxalis. pineapple lilies - are tender bulbs and must be lifted in the fall and given special care to prepare them for the following year. Some are inexpensive and can be thrown out and replaced by new bulbs for the following year. Potted bulbs for winter blooming include amaryllis. paperwhite. narcissi. hyacinths. tulips and daffodils. Many of these require a considerable amount of work to force into blooming so many gardener~ prefer to purchase the bulbs already started in pots in late fall.
