GOP, Green candidates challenge Phillips in 92nd BY BRIAN 201 0 J. REED BREED@ MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM ATHENS - Two candidates have filed petitions with the Athens County Board of Elections opposing State Rep. Debbie Phillips.

"I believe lowering spending will create the opportunity to reduce taxes and bring JObs back to the state,'' Hunter said Friday. "Ohio has the seventh- highest state tax rate in the country, and it has lost 235.000 taxpayers and nineteen billion dollars in tax revenue as a result,'' Hunter said. ''When Ohio had the fifth-lowest state tax rate in the country. jobs and industry came here.'' Those industries are now going to other states. instead. Hunter said, including Ohio's neighbor.

County Auditor Mary T. Byer-Hill said the total delinquency on the real estate duplicate is $3.5 million. She said the collection rate is now just over 60 percent, meaning 40 percent of all real estate taxes payable last year went unpaid. A year ago, Byer-Hill reported a collection rate of just over 80 percent. Prosecuting Attorney Collcl.!n Wii'Jiams has filed a few foreclosure suits in an effmt to collect delinquent taxes. but the Jramatic growth in delinquent taxes may far outpace any progress made through civil foreclosure actions. The balance of delinquent land taxes has grown by a halfmillion dollars in just a year. Just one year ago. ByerHill reported a total real estate delinquency of $2.995.000. At that time. Byer-Hill reported an overall collection rate of just over 80 percent, then considered a significant drop from over 90 percent. For many years. Meigs County boasted a relati\'ely high rate of collecting real estate taxes. with a rate of90 to 93 percent. But those were more prosperous times. In the past two or three years. Meigs County has seen a dramatic increase in foreclosures, 'the second highest increase in foreclosure rates in the state for 2008. Collection of real estate taxes is the largest source of revenue for the county general fund. as v.dl as local governments. which depend on voted millage for operating costs and public services. For example. Lisa Ritchie, treasurer for the Eastern Local School District. said the district receives just overS I million for i,s annual budget from real estate tax revenue. including revenue from the district's school construction bond issue. That makes up about a third of the district's operating fund. The remaining money in the district's operating fund comes from the state. PONTOON BOAT HEADQUARTERS #1 Sweet~ at •Dea er t~e USA I 2009!

I Dear Dr. Brothers: My son is in seventh grade. He's always been a top student. and teachers have consistently commented on his perfectionist nature. They don't have to tell me- I've seen this streak in him since he was 3 and had to help Mommy match all the socks! But this school year. I've noticed a sudden dip in his confidence. He doesn't seem to be tackling anv of the difficult work -that would separate the men from the boys, as it were. What should I do?- K.N. Dear K.N.: It is interesting to watch a perfectionist child operate. from the earliest days when he expresses frustration with tantrums or crying, or turning the puzzle upside down. But then he goes back and works on it until he gets it done - right. In the early grades. he is likely to shoot ahead of his peers, because he really cares about his project, his quiz, his grade. And he works so hard that he generally shines. But every so often there is a challenge that he can ' t meet, and his frustrations overwhelm him. The frustrated/perfectionist child will have a :.tring of A's and a few F's, and nothing in bet\veen. But you know all this what to do when he begins to see the challenges as obstacles to be avoided? One way to help him now that he is in the middleschool grades is to sit down and talk with him about hts perfectionistic tendenctes. Perhaps you were (or are) the same way. and can share some stories with him about how you cope with imperfection and the possibility of failure. A child like yours may have had very high e~pectations placed upon hr. you~g shoulders, because hts parents and !e~.chers "~now he can ~o 1t. Then hts confidence wt!l have a. cha!lce t~ grow, along wtth hts constderable talents. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: I am aware of a situation with my sister that I want to pass by Keeping Gallia, Meigs & Mason informed Sunday 1ln1es-Sentinel Gallia • 446-2342 Meigs • 992-2155 Mason • 675-1333 you. ft involves her new guy. who seems a little shady, but she is crazy about him. I am not so sure he'~ a good person. She met him at church. but that doesn't mean anything. in my book. I went to her house last week. and he seems to have moved in. I didn't like the way he looked at my nieces. They are only II and 13. They seemed to love hrm, too. Should I throw cold water on this party. or what? - R.B. Dear R.B.: It seems like you are in a difficult position. Of course you want your sister to be happy. to have fun and to find a new guy who treats her well so that she can have a good life with her daughters. She seems to think she has found that. and her daughters seem to like the fellow. too. What could go wrong? Plenty. as your instincts are telling you. But you don't want to be the one to rain on your si~ter's parade planting doubts, issuing warnin~s. whatever. She alread);- has apparently decided to let this man into her house. which means he has access to her daughters. Even if your sister is blinded by love and hope. you are being a good sibling to look at the situation with skepticism and perhaps some alarm. Some women are very needy, and it is human nature to believe the best about someone who claims to love us and to want to be part of our family. So your sister may be closing her eyes to some facts that are staring her in the face. At the very lea~t, you :-hould mention your concerns to her and make sure this man is not alone with her daughters. while vou check him out. If you find anything in his past that would make you suspicious. you mu~t share it with your sister. And if you don't, but you still are fearful. ask your sister to have the guv move out while your nieces are still living at home. If he really loves her. he'll adjust. And ~o \\-'ill she.

At the risk of anl!erin!! Beijing. Obnma did tell the exiled spirilUal lcudcr that he back~ the preservation ofTihet's culture und ~upports human rights t<.>r its people. He also gave encouragement to the Dalai Lama's request for talks with the Chinese government Meetings between the Dalai Lama and U.S. presidents became standard fare under former President George li.W. Bush nearly 20 year:-. ago. But the choreography is al" a)'S delicate and closely watched becau~e of China·~ ~en It I\ ity. Rc\ered in much of the world, the D,tlaJ Lama is seen b)' Beijing as a separatist scekmg to O\ erthrO\\ Chinese rule of1 ibet. Though he says that is untrue. China regards any official foreign leader's contact with the Buddhtst monk as an mfringement on its sovereignty over the mountainous region and as a particularly unwelcome snub. China had urged Obama not to meet with the DalaiLama. China i~ a nsing global rival for the U.S. and a hoped-for partner. So concern about reprisals. in the form of reduced cooperation with Washington or other punitive steps. has led Americnn presidents, including Obama. to tread carefully. In Beijmg.

"The behm ior of the U.S. side eriou 1\ interferes in China':-. internal politics and serious)) hurts the national feelings of the Chinese people," the statement ~aid, quoting spokesman Ma Zhuoxu. There was no welcome fanfare on Thur::.da). nor a public appearance "ith the president. The White House relea::.ed only a single official picture. rather than allo\\ independent photographers and reporters to see the two men together. An offictal photograph was also the ani) relea e after the monk met later with Secretaf) of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. This from a president w::o promised and in some other wa\ s ha~ delivered - unprecedented transparency in his White House. The Dalat Lama did meet \\ ith reporters outside the White How..c, pl::l) fully tossing a bit of snow at them and declaring himsdf "very happy" with the visit. and had a short news conference at hb hotel. Thl!re, he chided China for what he called its "childbh" and "limited'' approach to fibetan efforts for greater rights. He said he expected a negative Chinese reaction to his meeting with Obama.

E\'en more. to a public worried about the lo~::. of U.S. jobs and global influence to China. the deference could come across as bending to Beijing's priorities. Similar questions aro~e during Obama '::.Asia trip. when :-.ome analyst-. concluded that the president ga\'e much to Chinn and got little back. Obama. however, pride::. himself on pragmati~m. He believes China's help is the linchpin for -.c\ era! difficult and consequential global problems. from nuclear ~tandoffs in Iran and !'Iorth Korea to international agreement on fighting climate change.

It's not coming as quickly as some thought, but it still might arrive this weekend. Richard Kortokrax entered this season, his 50th as head coach, with a 785315 career record. As the prospect of attaining his 800th career win approached, school officials wanted to make sure the numbers compiled during his tenures at Fort Jennings (1960-62), Ottoville ( 196275) and Kalida (1975-present) added up. Dan Kern. who has done extensive research into Putnam County sports history. went through volumes of records and information. He discovered that Kortokrax 's career record reflected one more win than can be accounted for. The error occurred over 40 years ago when Kortokrax was coaching at Ottoville. The Ottoville yearbook has the Big Green posting a 13-7 record for the 1966-67 sea'on. Kern's exhaustive studies show Ottoville was actually 12-7 that season. De~pite losing a win. Kortokrax is still drawing close to No . 800. His Wildcats are currently 14-2 heading into Friday's Putnam County League battle against No. 2-ranked Continental (16-1). If the Wildcats win the game, Kortokrax will be going for No. 800 Saturday night at Van Buren.

While it may be tempting to "help out"' our wildlife friends with supplemental feeding. most wildlife biologists agree that feeding wildlife during the winter is more harmful than beneficial to wildlife. and it's easy to see why they are concerned ... one of the world ·s foremost outdoor outfitters offers more than two dozen different wildlife game feeders on their wcbsfte. Over the past few years there has been a huge 2rowth in the number of people who directly feed wildlife. primarily whitetail deer. with a corresponding increase in companies who cater to them. Most of the feeders are designed with hunters in mind and boast such features as programmable timers that can dispense pre-dete1mined amounts of feed several times per day. Despite the obvious sportsmanship concerns, consider the following: Supplemental feeding encourages wildlife to become dependent on handouts that are not patt of their natural diet and may contribute to health problems. Young animals that are taught to depend on humans may not develop normal foraging behavior, and can starve if the artificial food sources are removed. Animals fed by humans are more likely to become nuisances and come in conllict with humans: they may lose their fear of humans, perhaps even creating 1isks In the Open Jim Freeman to human safety. Wild animals being fed by human::. may congregate in unnaturally high numbers creating a peitect opportunity for the spread of diseases: in some areas feeding of wildlife is prohibited for this reason. A diseased animal in close contact with healthy ones may encourage the spread of rabies. distemper and other diseases. Feeding prey species such as deer. squineb and rabbits may in tum attract predators; bear in mind that predators need to eat to and wi II go to where their prey congregates. The bottom line is that when people and \Vildlife interact, even with the best of intentions on the part of humans. wildlife often ends up losing. The key factor to wildlife survival is habitat. and with that being said there are still things you can do to help the animals without giving them handouts: consider making your backym·d or property more wildlife-friendlv through planting trees. shrubs and other plants that provide them with food and shelter. If you live in the country you can improve habitat by making brush piles and leaving thick patches of briers that provide winter cover for game and non-game birds and small animab. Planting food plots give animals a good source of energy during cold weather. Also remember. weak. old or ill animals can and do die during the \\inter. This is natural. Does thb mean backyard bird feeding is wrong? No. Feeding birds doe' not generally lit into this category. However, there are still some considerations for bird feeder~ to consider. For instance location is important: you should not place your feeders where the location may cause harm to the birds. Keep the feeders near enough to cover to offer escape from hawks. but not so close that other predators (i.e. cats) can use it to sneak up on unsuspecting songbirds. Offer a variety of seeds tailored to different species of birds, and keep your feeders clean to prevent the spread of disease. Take measures to pre\ ent other animals like deer. squinels and raccoons out of your feeders by placing them out of reach or installing guards. Also. if you reed vour pets outdoors. feed them outside during the day and take the food and \\ ater bowb inside during the night to keep from attracting raccoons. skunks and opossum::;. Following these guidelines should help our wildlife remain truly wild. Jim Freeman i.\ wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

She counted from Feb. 12 to 15th the many birds visiting her feeders - everything from the common sparrow to a red bellied ladder back woodpecker. She said about 25 cardinals came most every day of her count and that there was a mockingbird. a black capped chickadee. and a moummg dove.

Watch TV (too boring). clean closets (no fun). update your photo albums (my husband did that). Fortunately my friend, Alice. had brought me A .J . Jacobs' The Year of Living Biblicallv: One Man's Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible. and l found it quite fascinating. Jacobs is a Jew by birth. but his parents did not practice their religion. Some of his aunt~ are Orthodox Jews. but Jacobs initially describes himself as an agnostic. He is 38, married. with a 2-year-old son. He thinks structure and ritual will be important in the child's development, and he sets out to write a book about his experience. Jacobs gathers dozens of versions of the Bible. plus many reference books on the subject. He also has a !!roup of advisors. across a wide religious spectrum. including conservatives. liberals. rabbis and Protestant ministers. He grows an untrimmed beard. wears white clothes. follows the dietary Jaws of Leviticus as closely as possible. Along the way he eats locusts. attends a Jewish sacrifice of chickens which bothers him a lot. finds the prohibition against lying troublesome. and sincerely tries to figure out some of the more obscure and strange laws in the Bible . Jacobs visits Israel, Jerry Falwell's church. the Amish 111 Lancaster County. Pa .. a snake handler in Tennessee. the Hasidic Jews m Brooklyn. and the Creationist Museum in MOIZ.NINC; f)AWN LOl)GE #7 Beverly Gettles Kentucky. He attempts to reconcile sometimes contradictory laws in the Old and New Testaments. He reads widely and annoys his wife with purity Jaws (He is not allowed to sit where she has sat while she is ··unclean ..). She proceeds to sit on every chair in their New York apartment, so he buys a fold-up cane \Vith an attached seat. While doing his year of living Biblically. he becomes the father of twin sons, thus obeying the command to "be fruitfu l and multiply." The children were planned before his experiment, and we are given a front-row seat at their Caesarean birth. Jacobs finds himself becoming more and more reverent and finds that he feels great about being part of a long and sacred tradition . His discipline of prayer and thankfulness continues after his year. as does his tendency to curb cursing and telling even little white lies. This is an enlightening book about one man's quest. Some of it is. of course, humorous. but the end result is a deeper understanding of how faith and ritual can improve even an agnostic's outlook on the sacredness of life and gratitude for all God has given us. Morning Dawn Lodge #7 welcomes Grand Lodge GALLIPOLIS Even though the temperatures dipped below freezing on Jan. 2. 2010, the wrumth of the comraderv and brotherhood was not diminished at the Morning Dawn Masonic Lodge that Saturday evening. Grand Master Terry W. Posey and the Grand Line officers were warmly welcomed by the brethren of the Lodge. The ceremonial flag raismg was commenced with a procession led by The Ohio Valley Commandery #24 to the corner of Court Street and Third Avenue \Vhere a newly donated flag pole awaited. Brother Joe Long and hi!-> wife. Lou. who so graciou~­ ly donated the new tlag pole and 11a!!. were the first to have tlic honor of hoio;;ting "Old Glory'' into place. The new bmlding. completed in November 2009 and working under a dispensation. was dedicated in full form bv the Grand Lodge with ·all thc pomp and majesty that one would expect at such a notevv·orthy occasion. After the building dedication. a hearty mea(of p1 ime rib. baked potato and all the trimmings was served to a brotherhood of just under 200 Masons by the ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star, Gallipolis Chapter #283. Without their help and dedication. this would not have been possible. The officers of Morning Dawn Lod<~e #7 took their places. acknowledged the guests and dignitaries and began their annual inspection. Afterward. the inspecting officer commented on the outstanding qual it) of work done by the brethren of l\torning Dav. n. ·'The te~amwork of the Master and the Line Officers of this Lodge Is verv evident.

SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE US Program Funds Vets' Unmet Needs By IE News Service • Photo courtesy of VFW Foundation Imagine dedicating years of your life to protecting America and then coming home to discover that your own home is facing foreclosure. Then envision being literally half a world away while your spouse rs faced with an unexpected home repair bill or struggles to provide basic needs for your child. These situations are not uncommon when you consider that nearly half of the nation's 700,000 military spouses are married to enlisted members who make less than $25,000 a year in bas1c pay, according to the Department of Defense. The department also notes that when reserves are included, those average annual pay amounts reach even more alarming lows. Under those circumstances, it's easy to see how something as simple as a broken heat pump, an unexpected car repair bill or even routine expenses like costly infant formula can push a family over the financial edge. To address these types of wuations, The Veterans of foreign Wars (YFW) Foundation created its Unmet Needs Program in 2004. "This program was initiated to meet the unmet needs of all branches of our military/' explains Dan Shea, Executive Director of the VFW Foundation. "Anyone on active duty, the National Guard and Reserves can apply to receive a grant from us of up to $2,500 to meet a specific urgent need. Additionally, any veteran who has been on active duty in the past three years can apply. The money is a grami it does not need w be paid back." What type of needs qualify? "We have addressed housing needs, grocery needs, water heaters and other home repairs, vehicle repairs, infant formula, prescription medications, child care and children's clothing, just to name a few," Shea says. ''We're filling a gap, and we're 100 percent focused on meeting these unmet needs." Srnce its inception, nearly 2,000 families have been helped by Unmet Needs, \~hich has distributed $2.7 millton in emergency grants. Over $1.5 million has helped stmggling milttary families with housing needs. Funds for the program come from corporate, foundation and individual donations. "This year, we celebrate a $250,000 donation from Burger King's Mid-Am~rica Franchisee Association and the 'Buy a Burger, Donate a Buck' initiattve," Shea notes. Individuals can visit the groups website at www.unmetneeds com to make a tax-deductible monetary donation to the 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization or to donate their skills and time "If, for example, we have plumber who wants to contribute his .services and a family who needs plumbing assistance, we can connect the two," Shea notes. Contributors can rest assured that donated funds go directly to serving immediate needs "We don't typically give money to the families; we acruall pay the bill. If they need a water heater, we'll go to the plumbing company and pay the family's bill for them," Shea explains. Shea and his staff of five specialists are meticulous about addressing needs quickly and efficiently. "Our administrative costs are exceedingly low; 100 percent of the funds raised for Unmet Needs have gone directly to the cause, and the YFW Foundation's administrative costs are only 6.6 percent," he notes. Charity watchdog groups llke the Independent Charities of America gave the VFW Foundation a "Best of America" rating, an honor given to only 1,500 of 50,000 organizations. Assistance has been provided to U.S. military families across the country and stationed around the world, and those needs are likely to c.ontinue given the current state of the economy. "Demand has been pretty steady over the last three years," Shea reports. When you consider all they have done for us, helping meet these small needs that make a huge difference in the life of an individual family are indeed a small price to pay.

Ethnicinspired fabrics are turning up all over in American homes. "The organic patterns, vibrant color palettes and handcratled look.~ create an aura of sophisticated wanuth." ~aid Smith.

Small children, p.:ts. shoes on the ottoman, snacking in front ufthe T\' thcv all can cause wear and tear on furniture. Light colored fabrics, delicate construction and fine finishes might J\ISI have to gh·e way to more practical concerns.

A dash of silver adds sparkle. Star chest. table and chairs by Boller & Co. DESIGN INTERVENTION I am as big a fan of the internet as the next person. I. like many of you. have been known to lose some time to cyberspace. I'll admit that I have even spent some time shopping online. As a matter of fact, one of the guys that I work with recently introduced me to a website where I can purchase household items such as detergent, paper towels, and even toothpaste (all while watching TV and doing the laundry!). However, as much as I enjoy the convenience of online shopping, some things are just not best ordered online. Furniture is one of them. Don't get me wrong. the internet has its place in your furniture shopping experi- Carla Wamsley ence. !t's great to be able to sit in your pjs and see everything that the industry has to offer. We'll call it online browsing. not shopping. When making your final decision though. virtual shopping cannot compare with the ability see, touch. and ~it on, the real thing. You cannot see the depth of a beautiful wood grain, nor can you simply guess how well a chair fits you. By venturing into a couple of stores and actually experiencing the furniture. you will be able to make a more educated decision. I could not advise a customer to make a purchase of this magnitude online. New furniture is a major purchru;e and certainly needs a bit more attention than let's say, a new pair of shoes! Seeing the actual pieces of furniture will help you to imagine them in your own home. Size and scale just won't come across your computer screen the same way it will when you are in the same room with a new bedroom suite. I realize that [ may be stating the obvious here, but sometimes we get all caught up in the idea of something as wonderful as the ability to shop while staying firmly glued to your recliner with your laptop. It seems so effortless to make purchases online that we forget how impractical it might be. At any rate. you will want to see some things in an actual store before you buy. Othcnvise how will you know how soft the leather is, or how well your paint chips actually match? Not to mention how well it is made. Let's consider another advantage of brick and mortar stores. There is something to be <;aid for the face to face communication that occurs between the salesperson or the designer and you. the customer. After all. who is going to answer your questions? Another advantage to an actual store is being able to \\Ork with people who \viii be accountable. EYeryone from the owner to the salesperson to the delivery people have something at stake. Your chances of quality service are so much greater "'hen you shop in the real \vorld than when you "click'' on your choice and punch in a credit card number. Do I serious!\ think that most people are sitting at home ordering a houseful of furniture online? Well, ifl am to be honest. I v. ill have to admit that I do not. But I do believe that we arc moving in that direction. We are becoming accu~tomed to little or no interaction with others. Others who can be verv beneticial to us. by teachirl'g us a little more. by being responsible. and by being there after the :-ale is completed . Let's not forget that choosing to make a significant purchassuch as furniture can be learning experience. an there are people out there who want to help you. We should be thankful that we can still buy from real people and not just \ irtual ones!
