But Kasich has been careful not to embrace the timeline laid out in the tax plan pushed by :-.tate Rep. John Adams since he announced his candidacy for governor in June. And now that the bill is under fire at the Statehouse. both men are taking pains to distance Kasich from it. 111 Kasich served Congress for 18 ) ears beginning in 1983. presid·ing O\er the House Budget Committee \\hen it balanced the federal budget for the first time in decades. He later went to work as a managing director for Lehman Brothers in New York. Repealing the income tax still is central to Kasich's platform jn the race to unseat Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland this fall. but he says he doesn't know hO\\ long it will take. Spokesman Rob Nichols :;aid Kasich has not determined a timeline because he must first determine the size of the budget hole he'd be )landed if elected. and then work on a tax repeal "responsibl) over time.'' "He has been absolutelv, I 00 percent consistent fro in the da) he entered this race," Nichols said. ''What he said in Februarv 2009. I don't know.'' • Declining to commit to a particular timeline has relieved Kasich of ha\'ing to answer tough 4uestions about the income tax repeal. When nonpartisan legislative analysts attached a $12 billion price tag to Adams· proposal in Januar>'· for example, Kasich dedmed to speculate precisely hO\\ he would make up for such losses over the next decade if elected. He said the bill contained a timetable and his plan did not. "You have to stabilize the patient first before you start this," something like Nichols said. "It's something he's committed to. something. he 'II work for during his administration." But the I 0-year timetable had already been attached to Adams' plan for nearly a year when Kasich praised the lawmaker during a Lincoln Dav dinner last winter. Kaskh had appeared at a fundraiser for Adams. also a Republican, in October 2008, the lawmaker said, so he presumabl) knew the details of his proposal \\hen he spoke. "I bclic\e Ad,lms i~ of eliminating Ohio's right," he told Auglaize income tax. lt is the state's County Repubhc,IJl<; while second largest source of re\speaking in Adam ' home enuc behind sales taxes.

He spent most tating budget consequences of his time talking about how that was done t~nd parallels to the gO\ernorship." Adam<; said his bill was first introduced in April 200S. He said he picked the 10-year phase-in after consulting with conservative pol icy experts at the Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions and the American Legislative l!xchange Council.

ASSOCIATED PRESS It was a memorable win for a lot of reasons. That it was also Richard Kortokrax 's 800th career victory made it even more unforgettable. Kristopher Osterhage scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter and Kalida came back from a 13-point third-quarter deficit to beat Van Buren 48-47 Saturday. "Over and over again, I have said this has been a special year," said Kortokrax, the winningest high school coach in Ohio. "I don't understand exactly why this is happening. Somebody must have wanted it to happen, all of the way from me having the opportunity to coach again and then having a group of kids like this. I hope every one ... that has been associated with me understands that this is their part of the 800 wins as much as it is mine." Kortokrax has a career record of 800-317 in 50 years of coaching boys basketball at Fort Jennings (1959-61), Ottoville (1962-74) and Kalida (1975-present). Osterhage converted an old fashioned three-point play with I :08 remaining to give the Wildcats .(16-2) their first and only lead of the game. A night earlier Jordan Basinger, the only returning starter from last year's Division IV state runnersup. hit the second of two foul shots with 0.3 seconds to play giving Kalida a 38-37 win over Continental. BUSY BOY: Senior forward Louie Scha.ljo scored 37 points to lead Bethel-Tate past Western Brown 72-55 for its first unbeaten regular season. The 6-foot-3 Schaljo, closing in on 1,600 career points, has played seven varsity sports - basketball, tennis, track, soccer. cross country, golf and football. He has been first- or second-team all-conference in all but footbalL which he played only one year. "My mom empnasized that I should do as much as I can. while I can," said Schaljo, who has a 4.3 GPA. "It's just been about managing my time well." EMOTIONAL RETURN: The Lisbon Beaver Local boys lost 8349 to Canfield and still felt like winners. The game marked the return of senior starter Jake Lunders. Lunders who was paralyzed from the waist down after a traffic accident following p,ractice on Nov. 20, led the Beavers onto the floor for warmups in his wheelchair. He remained on the floor for the duration of warmups. getting plenty of fist-bumps, hugs and high-fives from players and coaches on both teams. Lunders served as an honorary team captain and was wearing his Beaver Local warm-up top for the tip-off. ''That kid is such a hard worker and such an inspiration to everybody," Beaver Local coach Jake Walgate said. "He has touched -so many lives. The message he gives to the guys is 'I'm working hard, so you keep working hard on that floor."· · Lunders had been in regular contact with his teammates through video messages and notes, but all agreed it was better having him around in person. "I go up to see him just about every week, but seeing him in the locker room and breaking the huddle with us was really great," Beaver Local senior Zack Murray said. ''I know he loved it and I know he wished he could be back here:· BIG NUMBERS: Hanoverton United's Zack Taylor scored a career-high 40 points, but it wasn't enough as Wellsville's Michael Johnston totaled 37 points and 10 assists in a 107-71 victory; Fort Recovery's Greg Kahlig scored 40 points in the Indians' 65-40 win over Mississinawa Valley.

The school sat alon~side V'{.Va. (j2 across from Lak1n Hospital Nursing Facility, which itself was once known as the Lakin Hospital for the Colored Insane, during a time when it was acce!Jtablc to judge people by the co or of their skin. A3 Nutter, Harry Capehart and ~oleman were three AfricanAmerican legislators who were re ponsible for the school's creation along with other facilities, including Lakin Hospital. which were established for and run by African-Americans. The school was erected in 1924 for the purP.Ose of housing and "reforming" African-American youth. The school was in operatJOn (rom J 924-1956. A brief descrip1 tion of the school appears in the book "West Virginia In History, Life, Literature and Industry" by Morris Purdy Shawkcy, published in 1928. It describes the school as being ''designed for delinquent boys who have not . <lcquircd violent habits and provides for such boys the care and tr;Iining necessary to convert them to good citizenship. Large emphasis is placed upon work for v. hich the farm and the shops pro-vide useful and well adapted in abundance." school v,;as meant to be a ufficicnt entity where the s worked the surrounding farm land as well as inside the industrial shops fom1erly located behind the old school. Though there was plenty of work to be done, the boys abo performed musical programs at least once or twice a year. Growing up in West Columbia, W.Va.. former resident Sara (Dickens) McCoy who now lives in Nashville, Tenn .. attended some of those shows. McCoy went on record with The Daily Sentinel back in 2005. talking about her memories of that era. "They could really put on a good show," McCoy said, "and ~very time they put on a show they always sang the song 'Give A Little Whistle."' McCoy said the shows were perfom1ed inside the school on the first floor, in a large room similar to a gymnasium. "Everybody went to those ws," McCoy recalled. "They ys had big crowds." ven as a child it wasn't lost on McCoy, who is white, that it seemed odd that families of all colors enjoyed the musical production in an age of segregation when most other activities would've separated the same people. The school closed in 1956, the same year the Montgomery, Ala. bus boycotts ended and the University of Alabama was forced to enroll an AfricanAmerican student. After 1956. the school languished in neglect and decay. In 1976 the West Virginia Department of Agriculture inherited the property and used the 1.000 acres of land to develop the McClintic Wildlife area and run a cow and calf operation. Part of the property was then sold to develop the Lakin Correctional Facility for Women. Then in 2006, American Electric Power's River Division sed part of the property pu housed the old school h was demolished 1r1 ber of that same year. pitc its absence, tales of the old school remain active on the Internet from ghost hunters and investi~ators of the paranormal who VIsited the site during the yeal1'i it sat empty and forebodmg, even on a sunny day. These oays the old school ha gone the way of "colored'' drinking fountains and seats on the back of the bus, relics of by-gone days that weren't so good after all. • The Lakin Industrial School for Colored Boys was erected in 1924, closed 1n 1956 and was demolished in 2006. A view from the backside of the Lakin Industrial School for Colored Boys showed a building that had fallen into disarray but remained structurally sound despite vandals and arsons. AEP's River Division purchased the property in 2006 and the old school was then demolished. In 2005, the entrance to the old industrial school was covered with brush, making it a foreboding place even during daylight. The school lives on in memories and online as a much talked about "haunted location" in West Virginia. This 2005 photo of one of the staircases inside the school shows plenty of graffiti after visits from vandals. The stairs, like the building's roof, were both made of slate. This 2005 photo shows the cafeteria area, a place many graffiti artists called home when visiting the old school. �- . - p - - -....,. - - ......--- - - - --- - -- - -- - - -----,--__,_~ PageC2 , -i>unbap ~fmes -ientinel Sunday, February28, 2oto O'Bieness ·names Wound Care Center director ATHENS Mark T.

Sure, the dress i~ a big deal. but the total look is incomplete without the light hairst) lc , lipstick color and oh-~o-long lashes. And the wrong makeup drags down a dress. Gw) neth Paltro\\ was the Oscar belle of the ball back in 1999 in her pink Ralph Lauren dre5s that, qu1te frankly , didn't fit her vel') v,.ell , but ) ou hard!) noticed with her princessSt) le bun and fre h-faced makeup. She didn't fare as well a fe" years later m the Goth dress by Alexander McQueen - yet it's those raccoon eyes that really linger in our collective memories . Increasingly, stars know how important the total look is and they'll book their beauty team for an event weeks in advance. The challenge for the beauty team, though, is that the dress is often a last-minute choice o they show up with the tools to do retro-glam, smoky-sexy or cutting edge-cool styles with a few strokes of their brushes. The Associated Press asked two experts, hairstylist Oscar Blandi, who has his own salon on .\1adison Avenue, and Ricky Wilson. celebrity makeup artist for Dior, to craft beauty routines that would capture the striking Goh.len Globe looks of Emily Blunt and January Jones. • Both these looks. while very Holly\l.:ood, can be appropriate for a cocktail pany, ma) be even a dinner date, says Wilson. EMILY BLUI'IT Blunt's feminine look, complemented hv a softpink , delicate gown by Dolce & Gabbana , started with flawless skin , says Wilson. "You want to look really beautiful. natural like I woke up and look this great. Of course, it can take a lot of work." Wilson, who counts Beyonce and Sharon Stone as clients, starts with a radiance serum to brighten and smooth the skin and then a breathable foundation to even out the tone, He uses <1 brush to apply everything because, although fingers are a little more agile, a brush has a light touch and can get into fine lines. Nothing can look heavy here, and it's important to have a very even hand. For the eyes. Wilson uses a light. buttery - but not • opaque - shade of white to be used from crease to brow bone, followed by a lavender-gray shade on the lit! only. It'll open up the eye, he explains. which will be further enhanced by dabbing a little light shimmer right at the inside corner of the eye. Then comes the black eyeliner. not applied in one straight line but using many short stroke~ along both the upper and lower lashline, and then several coats of black mascara, letting the layers dry before applying the next one. Dewy lip~ come with an application of lip balm with the fingers, creating a smooth surface before the lipstick ~oes on. "It's like a slip,'' Wilson says. His favorite lip product is Dior'.; Lip Glow - '"modern-day mood lipstick," according to Wilson \\ hich is a pretty pink shade in the tube but actually responds to each person, creating a unique shade that should flatter your coloring. Blandi also says Blunt's oh-so-natural look for her hair has many more steps than you'd think. yet isn't hard to do. Hair preparatjon is the key, he says, by blow drying the hair without ever pulling it tight (and using a diffuser instead of straight-on heat) and taming flyaways with jasmine oil. "This is a sexy approach. It's 'bedroom hair,''' describes Blandi. who works with Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes and Julianne Moore. among other celebrities. He thinks it was the right look for Blunt because the dress didn't have a lot of bells and whistles. ''If your dress is simple, amplify the hair and makeup. and vice versa." Blandi then uses the curling iron, alternating the position of the cord with each section of hair: If one curl, held for 10-15 seconds, is done with the cord facing upward vertically, the next one has the cord facing downward. He saves the crown for last, only working with the cord facing down and loosening up on the curl. His tip to at-home stylists: You should take smaller chunks of hair in the curling iron. Usc your fingers to tousle the hair: a brush would undo the work you just did. A cool, quick blowdry on medium speed again with the diffuser will set the style. "The best part of this look is it looks better later on," Blandi says. JANUARY JONES Jones' dramatic. asymmetric black Lanvin dress, which made sure she wouldn't be confused with Betty DraP.er, reqmred equally stnking makeup and hair. Pulling together the bottom half of the hair into a pony tail - save a little strip of hair that will later be used to hide a rubber band - Blandi teases with a brush already spritzed with hairspray to teach the crown of the hair. He secures the top with bobby pins in the middle of the back of the head. Then he teases the pony tail so the hair has a lot of body before he swirls Jt into a loose bun. The position of the bun at the nape of the neck is important with the most flattering spot matching the jawline, Blandi sa) s. He takes the last hanging strip of hair and camouflages the rubber hand anti tucks the end into the chignon. He uses bobby pins to keep the bun in pl~ice. Jones wore a stretchy black headband to add to the drama- and it's easy to find a similar one at a massmarket store. Blandi positioned the bottom back of the band bclo\v the bun and stretched the rest to land just behind the ears and about a half-inch above the hairline in the front. The slightly pouffy top gives height behind the headband. A lot of hairspray is the final step for the hair. Wilson takes over the modern pinup look with just a little powder on the Tzone and matte bronzcr to sculpt the cheeb but not much else on the skin so it won't distract from the very black eyelashes and red lips he plans. With his ringer. he applies a light beige powder eye shadow under the brow, pressin* it in so it doesn't "drip,· and then a lighter champagne-colored shadow on the lid. A brown shadow goes on the crease from the outside edge of the eye to about two-thirds in. He uses an cyela h curler before he applies no fewer than three coats of mascara. (If you ~et mal>cara on the lid, wa1t until it dries before you gently scratch it off \Vith a cotton swab to avoid smudging, he advises.) To create u clean backdrop for the red lips. Wilson uses a little more light powder on the bow between the mouth and nose, anti then he uses a cherry red lip pencil to create the boundaries for the lipstick. "There's a red out there for evcl')' woman," Wilson insists. However. he adds. it will take trial and error to find out if a blue-tone red or an orange-tone red is best for you. After you've found and put on - the right red. Wibon cleans up the edges with a bit of concealer on a makeup sponge. Because of the bold color, a neat. perfect application can make the difference, he says. OK, so the lip is really bold and you're worried about it. It probably looks great. Wilson says, but a touch of shimmery glos~ just at the center of the top and bottom lip should alleviate any apprehension. He adds: ''The celebrity look can push women out of their regular box, which is where they should be for special e\ents."
