GALLIPOLIS - One of the longest-running observances of the signing of the historic Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln will be revisited in September in Gallia County. The l47th annual Emancipation Day Celebration is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Sept. 18-19 at the Gallia County Fairgrounds. The local observance was instituted in 1863 and for many years was held on Sept. 22 to coincide with the date of Lincoln's signing of the document that declared slaves to be ''thenceforth and forever more free." According to members of the local organizing committee, those early celebrations were "conducted in a religious atmosphere" and included a wide range of activities like baseball games, sack races and hog calling. Bands. orators and politicians were also part of the program during the early celebrations. While the Gallia County Fairgrounds has been home to the Emancipation Day Celebration for many years, other sites like Kerr Station, Vinton Community Park, Bush Park, the Bidwell-Porter area and Gallipolis City Park have also served as host sites for the event. The celebration has attracted visitors from around the United States and Canada with as many as 2.500 people in attendance during any given weekend.

After months of planning. the clinic was dedicated on July 23, 2009. and the first clinic was held on Aug. 27, 2009, at the Hillcrest Clinic 'on Pinecrest Drive in Gallipolis.

" It's a pain in the neck." said Tom Burrin~tori, 68. a retiree who lives two doors down. "There are coyotes hollering at night, lions roaring at night, junkyard dogs barking all day." A bear attacked caretaker Brent Kandra on Thursday evening after being taken out of its cage for a routine feeding. Lorain County Sheriff's Capt. James Drozdowski said. Owner Sam Mazzola, who years ago earned the wrath of animal rights activists for letting people wrestle one of his bears, used a ftre extinguisher to force the beast back into its cage. ··we don't know whether something startled the bear or what prompted the bear to get aggressive with the caretaker." Drozdowski said. Kandra. of Elyria. died Friday morning at MetroHealth Medical Center of injuries consistent with a bear attack, a coroner said. It didn't appear that the bear in the attack had even been used in wrestling. officials said. In comments to reporters outside his compound, Mazzola said he was the only witness to the attack. He declined to describe what happened, but said the bear was the victim's favorite. ''It's one that he played with constantly. every time that he was here," Mazzola said. Whether the bear will be euthanized will be up to the victim's family, Mazzola said. "I want them to know that Brent loved the bear very much and I'm sure the bear loved him very much," he said. Mazzola ~howed off a facial scar he got from a bear encounter and said he had gotten 2,000 stitches from injuries suffered while working with animals. "These are the things that happen when you deal and love these type of animals,'' he said.

Zack Space is guilty of violating state election law by making false statements about his Republican challenger. Thursday's ruling said Space falsely claimed in a TV ad that state Sen. Bob Gibbs voted for a pay raise for himself but failed to vote for tax b~eaks for average Ohioans. The commission issued no punishment for Dempcrat. Space's • okesman, Andrew Ricci, said the campaign is disappointed with the ruling. Gibbs said the ruling shows that Space has no respect for laws regarding fair and honest campaigning. He's said he wasn't a lawmaker when the pay raise was approved and that he coauthored legislation that reduced Ohio personal income tax.

Over the next month, motorists could see prices fall 10 cents to 15 cents a gallon unless there's a sudden increase in oil prices and in investors' confidence in the global economy. predicted Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. Oil prices have dropped about $7 per bar• rei over the past two weeks as economic data signal a slowing economic recovery. Prices already are falling in parts of the country. Kloza said he has seen prices between $2.25 a gallon and $2.50 a gallon in some areas of southern Missouri, Arkansas 'and South Carolina. Motorists on the West Coast an:~ paying the highest amount, with drivers forking over $3.153 a gallon i~ California, $3.022 in Oregon and $3.144 in Washmgton Even so. Kloza suspects motorists could find gas below $3 a gallon in some areas. Gasoline prices have remained steady for much of the summer even though demand pjcked up as more families hit the road for vacations after staying close to home last year. ln the past four weeks, gasoline demand rose 3.5 percent compared with the same period in 2009. At the same time, crude. and wholesale gasoline prices have dropped. Oil supplies are bulging, demand for overall energy products remains weak and consumers are conserving their cash as they worry about the slowing economy. • Oil prices fell a third consecutive day amid concerns about lagging economic growth. Benchmark crude for October delivery lost 97 cents to settle at $73.82 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Slower economic growth is an indication that factories will need less energy and "that companies will be reluctant to hire. The retreat mirrored a pattern in the stock markets. The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 57.59 points, a day after falling 144 points. . Broader indexes also fell moderately. Energy stocks were among the worst performers on the day. The AMEX Oil & Gas index, which includes oil companies ConocoPhillips and Chevron as components, fell more tha11 l percent Friday and 3 percent for.the week. In other Nymex trading in September contracts, natural gas for. September delivery settled 5.4 cents lower at $4.1 17 per 1,000 cubic feet': heating oil declined 2.97 ~nts to $1.9710 a gallon and gasoline lost 0.36 cent to $1.9251 a ~allon.

Currently, the "in" word seems to be ''austerity.'' On both sides of the Atlantic, public officials and media pundits are debating the need for "fiscal austerity programs," i.e., shrinking government deficits by increasing tax revenues and/or reducing expenditures. The term ''austerity" is problematic. It connotes sacrifice and deprivation. While ·'austerity" programs include cutbacks in some persons' lifestyles. it seems odd to say that learning to live within one's means is a sacrifice. What some call "austerity" is situply the recognition of reality: A society cannot chronicaJJy consume more than it produces. Favoring "austerity" are those worried that today's swollen budget deficits and national debts, if not corrected, will trigger an economic catastrophe through a sovereign debt crisis (i.e .• the inability of governments to find buyers for their bonds) . Opposing it are those who profess concern about the economic hardship that would be endured by innocent victims, and/or those who believe that the right economic policy is for governments to increase spending and budget deficits even more than they already have. Traditionally, ''austerity programs'' have been International Monetary Fund (IMF} bailouts of heavily indebted, virtually bankrupt Third World governments. For governments to obtairf a loan, the IMF has required them to get their fiscal affairs in order by reducing their budget deficits. Today, by contrast, we find that some of the wealthiest countries in the world require "austerity programs.'' The dangerous indebtedness of the PIIGS ing down doubles, but Krugman says that the cure for our fiscal hangover is to go back to the bar and statt chugging triples. No thank you. Other pundits on the left are Mark calling for tax increases instead of Hendrickson spending cuts. Their primary goal is the redistribution of wealth, and so they object to the alleged unfairness of spending cuts. This raises the issue of whether exist(Portugal.

It's also not the same guy who wore a message on his eyeblack supporting Michael Vick or who has occasionally lashed out his doubters and grated on his teammates. ''It's a huge difference from when he first got here to now, his maturity and how he became a leader." safety Tyler Moeller said. ''When he first got here, I don't think too many people liked him, really. He was kind of a punk. But now I have the utmost respect for him. He ·s a great player and a Prreat leader and I'd follow nim into battle any day." A wise and wizened junior. Pryor has taken a few shots on the field and off but now is being counted on to guide a Buckeyes team considered one of the best in the country. One brief exchange this summer said volumes about Pryor's progress. Asked how he would describe what he planned to be this fall for the Buckeyes, he said, "Electrifying." Then, tempering his youthful exuberance with a dose of his coach's restraint. he added, "And no turnovers.'' Pryor arrived in Columbus with Heisman Trophy talent.

I thmk that's how I grew." A year ago. Pryor rushed for 779 yards to lead the Buckeyes. Ohio State ·s statistics go back to 1944 and no quarterback has led the Buckeyes in rushing in all that time, until last year. He also passed for 2,094 yards. completing 57 percent of his passes for 18 TDs with II interceptions. It was in the Rose Bowl victory against Oregon. on the btggest stage of his career. that Pryor gave his finest performance. He passed for 266 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 72 yards on a knee that would eventually require surgery and the Buckeyes snapped a three'iame losin~ streak in BcS games wtth a 26-17 victory. There are still some questions about his elon gated throwing motion and his decision-makjn~. Much like the player he 1s most often compared to. former Texas star and Titans quruterback Vince Young. that may cost him when he decides to come out for the !'JFL draft. But Pryor says he'll spend all four years in Columbus, even though any decision IS still a long way away. For now.~he's committed to winning a national championship. "What a national title team needs to have, you need to have leadership. togetherness:· Pryor sa1d during preparations for Ohio State's season opener on Sept. 2 against Marshall. 'You must be together. We· re a very been so tight with a group since I came to college. My freshman and sophomore years, ~uys were just all on the1r own. you know? This group, we do everything together. We joke on each other. We stay in the locker room after practice and we talk with each other. I think that's a big thing... Tressel, starting his 1Oth season as Buckeyes coach, stresses that Pryor means a lot more to the Buckeyes than just his stats. ""low he has to kind of continue to grow and mature in his own job but he's also being looked to from the rest of the group as a guy that they want to lead them." he said. In the past few months, Pryor has added some muscle. a few tattoos (col orful ones up one side and down the other of his throwing arm) and a new hair style (a box cut) to his 6-foot-6 frame. He's also gained a healthy disregard for what a lot of people think about him. He used to stew about critics who questioned him, particularly his passing ability. He's lost the large chip that used to be attached to his shoulder pads. Now it's as if he's ready to take the next step, to earn the respect of any doubters outside of the team's Woody Hayes practice facility. "Freshman year we were outright Big Ten champs and lost a close game to Texas (in the Fiesta Bowl),'' wide receiver De Vier Posey said. "Last year we won the outright Big Ten title and won the Rose Bowl game. I don't know about that sounds pretty ~ood to me. Going into hJs third year he definitely has hi&h expectations for himself. · Pryor says he's ready to. take on more responsibility in the huddle and the locker room. "1 think I'm just a natural leader." he said. "I've matured a lot. I talk a lot about maturing but I think me growing up from being a freshman and dealing with the older guys like Beanie Wells, then last year. I was kind of confused with some of the offense and I was trying to learn about defenses. Now we can finally get it together. I'm not saying I'm perl'ect and I know everything, but I know I can hold my own in a meeting room with my coach. Let's start off with that.'' As the highest profile athlete on an elite team, it figures that Pryor will get a lot of attention for individual awards. He's already flattered to be listed as a Heisman front-run. ner. "I mean, it's great for me to be mentioned," he said. Just as quickly. he added. "But it means nothing to me. actually. Everything that matters to me is my teammates and 80ing into battle and going mto a game every weekend and rrying to come out on top." The 21-year-old knows he holds the Buckeyes' future in his hands. "Team accomplishment is bigger than mdividual accomplishment," he said. "I cant wait to get together with these guys and take the field in that first game." Now you can easily see and purchase the photographs that featured you or someone you know in our Sports Section!

At a time \\.hen concern about improper contact bet\\ cen athletes and agents is spiking. however, cases such as Wood'~ are an exception. not the rule. Legislatures have passed a flurry of laws in recent years designed to make states part of the eflort to stop unscrupulous a~ents - along wJth the NcAA and. to a lesser extent, pro player unions. The idea is to ensure fair plaY. and shield amateurs unt1l they are done with school. Yet an Associated Press review has found that more than half of U1e 42 states with sports agent ht\VS have yet to revoke or suspend a single license, or mvoke penalties of any sort. Likewise for the Federal Trade Commission. which in 2004 was gtven over sight authority by ngrcss-. ll1e actions of sports • agents can do enormous damage to schools, to student-athletes and to the inte~rity of college athJetics,' said Rep. Bart Gordon.

However, they forbid thOse students trom entering into contracts - including oral deals - with agents or eptmg meals, gifts. 1sportation and other • entives as a hook to sign contracts later. The problem is that ,NCAA regulations apply to athletes and schools. not the agents themselves. So when I Jcisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush was found to have received improper benefits at Southern California, the perennial football gower was the one punishc most - losing scholarships and t5>tmba~ atuncs -~rntmrl • Page B3 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis getting banned from bowl games for two years. among other things. Now the football programs at rtorida and Alabama - the last two national champions - are under investigation for alleged improper contact. So is North Carolina, among others. A decade ago, when at least 28 states had varied agent oversi~ht laws, the NCAA lobbied state lawmakers to embrace standardized ntles for sports agents. The result was the Uniform Athletes Agent A<.:t, which is on the books in 39 states. The UAAA is also under consideration in California, which along with Michigan and Ohio has its own laws to deal v. ith agent oversight. In addition to mandatory registration, the law requires agents to notify schools immedi.ately when they sign college athletes. The students are given 14 days to change their mind and cancel contracts. And -schools have the legal right to sue agenb who violate the Jaw•- though that option is rarelY. exercised. Agents who fml to complY. can be punished with CI'<' tl or crimmal penalties. Here's the catch: The laws are rarely enforced. TI1e AP requested statistics on the number of registered agents, license revocations and suspensions and other pcnalt1es from each state. (Alaska. · Maine. Colorado. Massachusetts. Montana. 1\Jew Jersey. Vermont and Virginia lack such laws.) Twenty-four states reported taking no disciplinary or criminal action agamst sports agents, and were unable to determine if state or local prosecutors had pursued such cases. Others described the laws as being enforced a few times, or rarely - an indication of what a low priority they are. In Colorado. lawmakers in April rescinded a Jaw passed in 2008 after just four agent\ registered to do business. Georgia has disbanded it-; Atfilete A~ent Regulatory CommissiOn, transferring its duties to the secretary of state's office. Delaware plans to eliminate its agent oversight board. which has been inactive since 2002. Pennsylvania has levied just four tines against sports agents since 2003. none greater than $1,(XX), and the head of the State Athletic Commission acknowledges that the law is not much Qf a deterrent. "We try to do the best we can." srud Greg Siit, the! commission's executive director. A~ent-; caught in Pennsylvania might sunply move to a neighboringstatc to sign the atfilete. taking a chance that they won't get caught in a different jurisdiction. In North Carolina. where the NCAA is probing possible im~ropcr contacts by agents with defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little. the secretary of state's office was forced to tap state workers who usually investigate securities fraud to look into possible violation of its agent Jaws. The 2003 state law "came with no funding. so we have no dedicated resources." SJ?<?keswoman Liz Proctor smd. The number of registered ~~ents ranged from one in i'llorth Dakota to 400 in California. but state tigures were so sketchy that a com plete national picture could not be put together. The four top pro D.s. sports leagues - the NFL Major League Baseball. NBA and NHL- have about 1.600 registered agents in all. Under the Jaws. agents are typically required to register where they live, as well as where they do busi ness. Many agents know they c:m ignore the registratiOn requirements. said Kenneth Shropshire. a Unive1-.;ity of Pennsylvania sports law attorney and former agent. "If you've got bank robbers and rapists. white-collar crime - how many agent issues should be rruscd to the top of some prost'Clltnr '.; des I·.:?'' said Shropshire. director of the Whruton Sports Business Initiative at Penn's business school.

State starts new No. 1-ranked Serena Williams pulls out of US Open program in tough economy AfLANTA tAPl - In his previous head coaching jobs. there were plen t) of things for Bill Curry to worry about. Who's going to play quarterback'? How does the defense look '? Will these Alabama fans ewr fully accept me'? There were other is'iues that never <:rosseu his mind. Do we have enough helmets and chin straps? What are we going to use for a locker ~room'? Where are we going to practice'? But those are just the sort of things Curry has fretted over in what will certainly be the final coaching job or his career and arguably the most daunting one )et In less than l\"'0 weeks. Curry will lead the Georgia State Panthers onto the field for their very first game. the <;til mination of a two-year journey that exposed the exhilarating highs and excruciating lows of starting a college football program from scratc h. "It's been a real ad\>enture and I' ve loved every minute of the challenge:· the 67-year-old Curry said. pausing brietly and adding with a wry grin. · "Well. almost every minute." OK. so he didn't really love it when he learned that his first semblance of a team - rccmits and walk-ons who spent a formative year doing. nothing but practicing and scrimmaging against themselves didn't actually have a field. So Curr) and one of his assistants. George Pugh, hopped in a car and started riding around Atlanta, looking~ for any patch of grass and goalposts within a 40-minute radius of Georgia State's downtown campus. " We found a bunch of them. Then we had to find out who ran them," Curry recalled. ''There was an awful lot of time and effort spent on those kind of things, and that's just one example." It will all seem worth it on the night of Sept. :!. when the · Panthers. an independent in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, play their first game against Shorter. an NAJA school. From humble begin nings. they'll run onto a relatively grand stage the 70,000-seat Georgia Dome. home field of the' NFL's Atlanta Falcons, site of the Southeastern Conference championship game. venue for two Super Bowls and an Olympics. "This is the reason why I came here:· said Mark Hogan, who was Georgia State's very tirst player. "I didn't come here to practice all year like we did last year. but that was part of it. That was preparation for this. It was well worth it. Now we're here, and we're about to play some real football." Georgia State is one of six institutions launching programs this year. a diverse group that runs the gamut from South Alabama, which plans to make a full transition to the top level of Division I in 1013, to Notre Dame, uh, College. a former women-only school in Ohio that will compete in NAJA. Plenty of others are on the way. According to the . Nat.i onal Football Found~nion, another I I schools plan t9 have football teams up and running by 2013. including one right up Interstate 85 that is of similar size and urban location to Georgia State the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. For their own roadmap. the Panthers may want to look toward the sunshine state. South Florida started its program in 1997, holding the first team meeting under a shade tree and meeting in trailers until some actual facilities could be built. Within a decade, the Bitlis had nsen to No. 2 in The Associated Pre'>s rankings The) are now members of the Bi!:! East Conference and ~have appeared in five straight bowl games. Georgia State isn't dreaming that big - at least not yet, anyway. The Panthers will pia) a hodgepodge of teams over the next Lwo years (this ) ear ·s schedule begin ... with Shorter and ends with defending national champion Alabama) before moving into the Colonial Athletic Association. whlch competes in the division formerly known as I-AA. Of course. , everyone keeps asking: Will there ever be a day \\hen Georgia State is competing at the same level as that school over in Athens (Southeastern Conference power Georgia) or the one right down the street (defending Atlantic Coast Ct;nference champion Georgia Tech)? ''When we· re basically selling our full allotment of tickets in the Georgia Dome. then it 'II be time to start thinking about that.'' Georgia State president Mark Becker said. "But right now. we've got to get a team on the field. We've got to build a competitive program at the I-AA level. If we do those things successfully. and the fan base tills in, then we can .talk about those things. Now ts not the time ... ~ The Panthers 'already have the makings of a competiti\'e syuad, thanks to several highprofile transfers. Joseph Gilbert, a starting offensive lineman at Georgia Tech the last two vears, now plays for· the Panthers. So does Star Jackson. a backup quarterback on Alabama's national title team. "It's definitely going to be a change. but I'm excited about it.'' Gilbert said. ··we have a chance to start something new here. For however long Georgia State has a football program. we're always going to be the first.·· For Gilbert. the decision to transfer stemmed largely from academic.;: He had already graduated from Georgia Tech but failed to get into the school's graduate program. Georgia State offered him a chance to further his studies in accounting. For Jackson. it all came down to playing time. He didn't want to spend another year on the '\ideline watching Greg McElroy. who ·s firmly established as Alabama's quarterback on the heels of a perfect season. By transferring to a FCS school. Jackson didn't have to sit out a year. "Greg was doing a great job." he said. ..1 just felt like I wanted to get on the field. I wanted to pia) right now... Curry has landed other transfers as well one from Auburn, another from Georgia Tech, others fmm more modest football schoolc; - rnany of them enticed by the idea of playing in . a major city at a high-profile venue such as the Georgia Dome. That was the sort of built-in advantage the Panthers were counting on when they decided to start a football team. "We are very enthused about our personnel,'' said Curry. who coached at Georgia Tech. Alabama and Kentucky but hasn't been on the sideline since 1996. "Some of them are guys we recruited from lot of different places. And some of them just flatout fell from the sky. We are so grateful for the transfers~ who came our way." What Georgia State will have to overcome is a general apathy that has always existed toward the school's largely mediocre athletic program - especially in a city with plenty of sports options, including four major league teams, three minor-league franchises and way-moreestablished Georgia and Georgia Tech. For most of its history. this has been nothing more than a commuter school. It's been a place that educated tens of thousands of students who did nothing more than drive in from the suburbs. attend classes and head right back home, leaving behind a soulless grouping of nondescript bui Idings that was derided as the "Concrete Campu·s:· While the makeup of the school is shifting toward students who now live on or near campus in recently built dormitories. it's still been a. challenge to get them excited about their own teams. Just last season, the men's basketball squad - until now. the most prominent on campus averaged just I .385 fans per game. The football team wi II certainly surpass that, having sold more than 3.000 season tickets. Then again. that will look like a mere speck in the massive Georgia Dome, even with the Panthers only using the lower bowl. Also. the Panthers couldn't have picked a worse time to start a program. The economic downturn has made it much tougher to raise funds. which have lagged behind projections and forced the school to phase in the completion of its new football training complex. While the football team moved onto a new practice field in the spring - ·sandwiched next to railroad tracks and a MARTA rapidtransit line. it epitomizes as much as anything the school's urban setting ~ the adjoining facilities are still a work in progress. Only part of the building is set to open this se,ason. 'The most unpleasant part has been the economy.'' Cuny said. "That's affected everything we've tried to do, like it has affected eYerything in world. We ce11ainly couldn't wallow· around in self pity because everyone else was sut'fering the same way... In the meantime, the Panthers have found ways to make it all work. The locker and weight rooms are located in the school's basketball arena. Meetings are held in whatever classrooms happen to be available around campus. For someone such as Gilbert, who was playing in the Orange Bowl seven montlis ago. it's been quite a change. "The biggest thing is the walking." he said. ··we have meetings in one building. The locker room is in another. We go eat in a building over there. That's been a big adjustment. I'm not going to lie. I got a bit lazy while I was at Tech. "But it's no big deal. I needed the exercise." a B Y H OWARD FENDRICH ASSOCIATED PRESS Serena Williams pulled out of the U.S. Open on Friday, sa}ing she still is recoYering from surgery to repair cuts on her right foot.

Portugal (AP ) - A 14-year-old Dutch girl will set off Saturday on a controversial attempt to ..become the youngest person to sail solo around the world. her representatives said. Laura Dekker's ambition of completing the yearlong trip has fueled a global debate over the wisdom of allowing young sailors to take on the tremendous risks of sailing the high seas alone. The girl who grew up on a sailboat faces a host of challenges - including favorable winds to send her across the Atlantic Ocean from her jumping off point in a marina in the resort city at the southwestern tip of Portu!!al. Late Friday. seas were so calm that the ocean looked like a mirror. and Laura was still out in her boat. performing lastminute tests on her redhulled Jg.-foot (II .5meter) yacht named "Guppy." Hordes of television crews. reporters and pho tographers from around the world have descended on Porti mao to cover the departure. Marijke Schaaphok. the director of Masmedia. a company filming the trip with remote cameras mounted on Laura ·s boat. told T he Associated Press that the girl was expected to return to port by early Saturday and depart at an undetermined time on Saturday. "She has her father and her manager on board and as long as they arc on board there's not an official start,'' Schaaphok said. A court last month released Laura from the guardianship of Dutch child protection agencies who had tried to block her voyage because of ' fears about her safety and ps)chological health. But Friday afternoon, trip manager Peter Klarenbeek said Laura was ready to go. and that a ceremony Y>ould happen Saturday just before the departure. "We arc testing equipment now and 1 can't give a departure time. but it will be obvious when she leaves. We 'II be on the dockside to say goodbye.'' Klarenbeek said from the yacht while at sea with the girl. Portugu~se stateowned ~ news agency Lusa quoted an unnamed port authority source saying that Portuguese law does not allow people under age 18 to navigate alone. But a man who answered the phone at the port authority of Port1mao told The. Associated Press there are no legal barriers for sailors under age l8 from leaving Portugue::,e ports as long as they are qualified to saiL Schaaphok defended the girl's push to sail around the world. saying Laura is mature for her age and has proven that she can sail ··Guppy" around the world after passing a maritime exam in the Netherlands for a vessel of her boat's size. Furthern'10re. she said Laura is uniquely qualified for such a sea venture. "She grew up with her father on, a boat so she's complete!) different from a normal 14- yearold girl.'' Schaaphok said. ·'She's "er) wise and a little bit.1mpatient. bu.t she\ a very nice girl and she knows exactl) . what she wants.'' Laura·s tirst port of call after leavin!!

Ohio (AP ) - Andy Murray wasn't ased with the start of Cincinnati Masters arterfi nal match on Friday and didn't like the finish. either. Pl aying his eighth match in 10 days - all in the afternoon - the exhausted 23-year-old Scot had enough left in the tank to force two tiebreakers, but not enough to finish the job. The fourth-seeded Murray fell to unseeded Mardy Fish 6-7 (7). 6-1. 7-6 (5) in a match that lasted 2 hours. 56 minutes - the tournament's longest - on a court where the temperature reached an even I 00 degrees. ·• In the third set.

Every time there was a long point. I felt tired for two or three points afterward. When you get to the end of the match. you just try to finish as best you can." Murray asked tournament officials after his match on Thursday if he could play Friday's night match. He even volunteered to play on a secondary court. Instead, he and Fish were scheduled to play the first match. "They said that, because Fish had to play doubles, they wanted us to play early, but I'm not sure that's the way tennis works." Murray said. "l don't think matches should be scheduled around the bles. because it's the les that's on the t . Fish will meet Andy Roddick in the tournament's first allAmerican semifinal since Roddick lost 7-5. 6-7 (2). 7-6 (2) to Andre Agassi in 2004. The ninth-seeded Roddick eliminated No. 2-seeded Novak Djokovic 6-4, 75 on Friday. Defending-champion Roger Federer finally played a full match at the $2.4 million Western & Southern Financial Group Masters. knocking off sixth-seeded Nikolay Davydenko 6-4. 7-5. The third-seeded Federer, a three-ttme champion. played just seven games in his first match before Denis min retired with .an le injury. His next ponent, Philipp Kohlschreiber. withdrew with a shoulder tnjury before their round of 16 match. Fish had little sympathy for Murray, suggesting that those circumstances usually even out. ''I usually like to play the first up match. because you know exactly when you're going on," he said . 'Tm sure there have been times when (Murray) was playing the night match and would like to be done and go to dinner. I can understand where he's coming from. but what can you do? It was bad luck for him today. "Physically, it was I. but nowhere ncar l the humidity of. say, D.C. or Atlanta. It was every bit as hot as there. It feels great to win a match like that." Murray admitted that he considered retiring from the match. ''It does cross your mind a little bit when you're struggling like that. but the doctor and the physio did a good job with the ice and cooling me down a little bit." he said. Murray took a 4-2 lead in the second tiebreaker. Fish. a 2003 finalist. then won four straight points. the last when Murray sent a forehand passing shot wide and followed it by slamming a ball out of the stadium in frustration. The 36th-ranked Fish clinched the upset _ his third consecutive win over Murray, all this year - when the Scot smacked a forehand into the net.

"He was missing balls he normally wouldn't miss. I probably wou)d expect him to play a little hetter."

"And not or1ly is he a freak of nature, but he's coming along as a quarterback. He's ~tarting to look off defenses and things like that. His arm has gotten way stronger. But I'm really not surprised because he's the hardest working pty on the team. Hands down." l ) Who's on the Dline? Good question. With , Nathan Williams. who was penciled in at the Leo spot. or basically rush lineman. out with a knee injury that doesn't require surgery. the Buckeyes are scrambling a bit. The Jme was already a ha1r thin because of the departure of Doug Worthington and Todd Denlinger (graduation) and Thaddeus Gibson (early entry into NFL draft). Solomon T.h<~mas takes O\ier for Wtlham'), but several of the ba~kups a~e unproven ~nd t~expenenced. With standout Came~on Heyward at the oppostte end. the Buckeyes need to till the gaps until Williams returns. 3) Who steps in for the two missing safeties'! Co-captain Kurt Coleman was a huge loss at strong safety, while Anderson Russell is easi ly replaced at free safety. Orhian Johnson - it's OR-ee-uhn, by the way - has size, speed and a knack for contact. He'Ll fill the vacancy left by Coleman's graduation. backed by Aaron Gant and Nate Oliver. Hines. who saw a lot of playing time a year ago as the nickel back and at the star position. will be an upgrade on Russell. 4) Any remaining question& about the starting lineup? Not really. Etienne Sabino moves in for Austin Spitler at sam linebacker with Jake Stoneburner the new tight end and Mike Adams or Andrew Miller likely taking over for Jim Cordle at left tackle. "!either line is quite as deep as coach Jim Tressel would like. opening the door for some rookie to make a name for himself. 5) What about the freshmen? Speaking of rookies. Andrew Norwell could see some time as a backup on the 0-Une, and soon.

And, of course, Drew Basil has had a strong A t d · · £ ugus an IS vymg 10r the starting kicker spot with Devin Barclay. 6) Will coach Jim Tressel open up the offense? Sure. The Buckeyes will probably throw it all over the yard, maybe 40, 50 times a game. Just kidding. With a deep and solid set of tailbacks and a veteran line, why would he even want to turn the Horseshoe into a high-wire act? Nope. if there's one thing that doesn't change much at Ohio State, it's the head coach's mind. You can count on the Buckeyes sticking to the ground - a perennial strength L and throwing only when necessary. That's what they call Tresselball. 7) What motivates the Buckeyes? Well, everyone thinks they'll be good and the Big Ten has already anointed them as the team to beat. They're also ranked No.2 in the nation by most publications. Beyond that, Ohio State can become only the second team to win six straight Big Ten titles, matching the record set by the 1972-77 Buckeyes. The string of titles provides incentive a couple of w~ys.

The high cost of dying In the past few recessionary years, most of us have gotten used to closely watching our expenses for everything from child rearing to college to retirement funding. Another important area where comparison shopping makes sense is funerals. Yes, funerals. While it may not make for typical water cooler chatter, dying in America is expensive and the costs are often borne by grieving family members who are in no mood to haggle. Expenses vary widely. but a traditional funeral and burial can easily cost $10,000 or more, once you factor in a burial plot, funeral services. casket, viewings, flowers, obituary notices, limousines, etc. But for those whose religious or personal beliefs don't require that specific funeral protocols or tr.aditions be followed, there are many ways to reduce costs while still honoring your deceased loved ones and their survivors. Here are a few ideas you may not have considered: Veterans. their immediate family members. public health workers and certain civilians who've provided military-related service are entitled to burial at a national cemetery with a grave marker. Burial for veterans is free, but families are responsible for funeral home expenses and transportation to the cemetery. Go to www.cem.va.gov for details. A $255 lump-sum . Jason Alderman death benefit that can be used for funeral expenses is available to surviving spouses or minor children of eligible workers who paid into Social Security. Search "death benefit" at www.ssa.gov for details. For many. cremation is a viable, less expensive option to burial, even with the same funeral services. If you plan to hold a viewin~ first before the crematiOn, ask the funeral home if you can rent an attractive casket for the ceremony. Some families prefer not to hold a public viewing of the deceased. For them, "direct cremation" or "direct burial" may make sense. Because the body is promptly cremated or interred, embalming and cosmetology services are not necessary, . saving hundreds of dollars. Also. with direct cremation you can opt for an unfinished wood cof fin or heavy cardboard enclosure for the journey to the crematorium. You can purchase a casket and cremation urn from a source other than your funeral home. such as another funeral home, a local casket store or an online retailer (even Costco and Walmart s. caskets online) - oftfor far less money. By law, funeral homes cannot assess handling fees or require you to be there to take deJivery. Many people choose to donate their body to science. Organizations are forbidden by law from paying for donated bodies; however, many programs will pay for transporting the body and final cremation. For a list of body donation programs in the U.S., go to www.med.ufl.edu/anatb d/u s pro grams. html. Also, visit www.anatomicgift.com for additional information on whole-body or organ donation. And finally, it pays to know your rights when it comes to funeral expenses. The FTC enforces , federal law common known as the "Funer Rule," which regulates how funeral providers must deal with consumers. Visit www.ftc.gov/funerals for full details. Death is the ultimate fact of life; it pays to be prepared for what expenses will be so you - or your loved ones won't be forced to make difficult decisions during your time of grieving.

LAW YOU CAN USE Public schools can impose dress codes Ordinarily, schools can enact dress and grooming codes that maintain order in the school. enable the school to effectively educate the students. and protect the students· health and safety. The rights of school districts are sometimes restricted by freedom of speech and freedom of expression rights, but schools have broad discretion in determining what they consioer the appropriate appearance of students in the school setting. Q: My child attends a public school. How can they impose a dress code? A: Although dress codes are normally associated with private schools. more and more public schools are Imposing dress codes. Schools are charged with providing an appropriate educational environment for students. This sometimes means that schools must enforce regulations that minimize distractions. which may come from inappropriately suggestive clothing (short skirts or tight clothing) or clothing that reflects a gang affiliation, poses a safety risk (such as very bulky clothing). or may highlight differences in financial resources among students. Any clothing that may distract students from the school's educational mission may be restricted. Q: Don't kids have freedom of speech and expression'! A: Kids do have some freedom of speech and freedom of expression. but it is limited in a school envi,ronment. J•or example, students generally have the right to speak freely about a subject, unless the speech is derogatory, profane. distracting. or meant to disrupt the school or pro- voke violence. Generally. school officials may restrict any speech or expression they believe disrupts the educational ' environment. Q: What if my son "'ears a T-shirt with a peace symbol or a flag on it'? A: If school officials thinks a shirt may cause a fight or any other problem that may distract students. they have the right to insist that your son mu:;t turn his T-shirt inside-out, cover it with another garment. or change the shirt. Q: My daughter belongs to a schoolapproved anti-drug group, but when she went to school wearing a T-shirt with an antidrug message and a mild swear word, she was told to turn it inside-out. A: Schools can prohibit students from wearing clothing that co11tains derogatory messages. Even if the general message is' a •·positive" one. the student may be prohibited from wearing clothin!! that displays offensive language or images. Q: What about trendy clothing such as bagg_v pants or extralarge shirts? A: Trendy clothing also can bl! restricted if school officials believe it will distract other students or there is a safety reason for prohibiting the clothing. For instance, oversized clothing is often prohibited to reduce the chance that a student may hide a weapon. Q: What about ear- rings, body piercings, tattoos. or other types of personal expression, such as colored hair or hair style? A: Earrings. tattoos. and other types of personal expression also may be regulated under a school's grooming codes, Schools have broad discretion to determine what types of per sonal expression in appearance may be dis ruptive to the education environment or al unsafe. For example, a education physical teacher may ban a student from wearing large. heavy earrings to prevent injury. Hair color considered to be distracting also may be prohibited.

Keeping Gallia and Meigs informed Sunday TimesSentinel Gallia • 446-2342 Meigs • 992-2155 can do if I think the school has improperly violated my right to free speech or expression? A: The first thing to do is to get the facts. Find out what the school's pol icy is, and talk to one of the school's admini11'1:ra tors about what happened and how the policy was applied. Most schools have an internal appeals process for disciplinary actions that you might want to consider if you feel your child was treated inappropriately. If you are not satisfied with the school's response and feel !>trongly enough about the situation. an attorney can advise you about what next steps you may wish to take, if any. If you do decide to get legal counsel, you would be wise to contact an attorney who specializes in school Jaw or in First Amendment law.

J3R.O fHER.S Too young to be grandma? near I>r. Brothers: I'm a 45year-old wonHlll who is in decent enough shape to he mistaken for someone much younger. Sometimes I even get carded at bars! But no\\, my 21-year-old daughter has just ghen b1rth to a beautiful baby girl , Dr Joyce Brothers and I'm suddenlY. "Grandma." I don t feel like a grandma at - - - • - - - - all. and it's really bothering me. I know everyone loves to tea~e me, but I don't want to hear it anymore, even -as a joke! - D.B. Dear I>.B.: If it makes you feel any better, you are not alone! 'Ibere are tons of lovely. youthful 40-somcthings out there trying to come to tenns with the label 'Grandma'' while looking like a million dollars. Because you and your oaughter both had children at a relatively young age, you also will reap many benefits from this early gift: You will be able to be in the child's life for many years. and will have the energy and stamina to contribute mightily to her upbringing. You will give her a great role model for what "Grandma'' means. and you undoubtedly wiJl be mistaken for her mother as soon as you start rolling her around in the stroller, so be ready for an ego boost to counter the downer of being labeled with this loaded title! As you know. grandmas aren't what they used to be. We just have to catch up to reality and make this gmndmothering experience a positive one. You will need a while to get used to the idea, but as you develop a relationship with your little grnnddaughter and become an integral i)art of her life, I ft11 willing to bet that your feelings about the label eventually will change. Just about the time she is old enough to sign a card for Grandma, you ""ill begin to see •the charm and love that this name holds for others. And that has a way of making things feel much better. So when yt1ur friends tease you. just smile and think about the great things to come. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: I was so proud of my son when he turned 21. He was always a bit of a troublemaker, but when he reached drinkmg age. he handled It responsibly ans maturely. Not so much with my daughter. She turned 21 last month and has become quite the party girl. She's smart enough not to drink and drive - but I'm truly shocked. and am afraid that she may be becoming an alcoholic. How can there be such a huge difference bet,\een my boy and my girl? What did 1 do "rong? - ·r.K. Dear T.K.: There has been a rather steady trend toward teenage girls becoming more involved in drinkmg than are teen boys. A study just released by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America shows that the number of girls who say they drink has increased II percent just in the pa"t year while the number of boys reporting drinking has remained about the same - and girls have surpassed boys in the number of drinkers. But what may be of most interest to you is the fact that girls report drinking for different reasons than boys. Guys are into using alcohol as a social lubncant and a necessary ingredient in having a good time. Girls report drinking to help themselves feel better...:.. a kind of self-medication that helps with feelings of stress and anxiety. So. although you describe your daughter as a party girl. you may want to sit dqwn with her and ask about the things that are bothering her. Don't fall into the same trap that many parents do minimizing the problems of their children because they are only "kids." with little or no responsibihtJes for bringing home the bacon. paying the bills. etc. Your daughter's worries are serious to her. and if she is drinking too much. she could be adding that to the list. You will want to be very aware of how dependent she actually IS on alcohol. and \vhether she could benefit from some kind of intervention to head off future problems. It's not about you.

In the 1940's, before wide spread immunization efforts. there were as many as 147,000 cases of pertussis in the U.S. each year. After immunization began across the nation of pertussis cases declined, for examples in 1976 there were just over I ,000 cases reported in the U.S. However, since the 1980s, there's been an increase in the number of cases of pertussis, especially among teens and babies less than 6 months of age. This has happened particularly of waning because immunity. In 2008 there were more than 13,000 reported cases in the U.S. During the first half of 2010 many states have been reporting increased cases of pertussis as compared to the same time last year. Here in Ohio, there has been a slight increase of pertussis cases statewide but the good news is that pertussis is preventable and treatable. In our efforts to reduce the spread of pertussis across the Buckeye State, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) added additional immunization requirements for school entry for 7th grade students. Beginning this fall, all children entering 7th grade will be required to have a tetanus. diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) or tetanus and diphtheria (Td) booster shot. Pertussis is a serious respiratory infection caused by bacteria. It is a highly contagious disease and spread from person-to-person when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Pertussis is known to cause violent coughing fits that can last months. When an infected person gasps for breath, they make a "whooping" sound. This sound ts where the name "whooping cough" comes from. Symptoms can be different depending on your age and if you have been previously vaccinated. It is most dangerous in young children and infants. So far this year, no infants have died of the disease in Ohio. However in 2008, three Ohio infants died from the disease. Vaccination is the easiest and most effective way to prevent the spread of pertussis. Ohioans and their families should make sure they are up-todate with the recommended pertussis vaccines. If you are. not sure, call your doctor to see what's best for you and your family. By requiring these additional vaccines in adolescents, ODH hopes to minimize the spread of pertussis in schools and provide Ohio's children with a healthier environment to live. learn, and play. This new requirement closely reflects recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory on Committee Immunization Practices. and involved consultation of local health districts, medical providers, the state Medicaid program and school nurses. If you haven't done so already you should plan now for your children's back to school immunizations. This will help you avoid long lines and waits and will ensure sure your child is immunized in time for their first day · of school. The Tdap vaccine is widely available through many health care providers in Ohio, including family physicians and pediatricians. Additionally, the vaccine is available for children through age 18 at local health district clinics for no or low cost. Some local health district clinics also have Tdap vaccine available for adults at low cost. For more information on pertussis or the Tdap vaccine please contact the ODH Immunizations department by phone at 1800-282-0546 or by email at Immnuize@odh.ohio.gov. (Alvin D. Jackson, MD, is the director ofthe Ohio Department of Health.)

Your eye are not deceiving you. Throughout Ohio, extension offices have called by homeowners that tulip poplars, burning bushes and other plants are showing and red coloration. Several reasons for this early fall color include: water stress. soil compaction, bark cracking. and mite (insect) damage. Droughty soils in July and early August induced plants to gear up for fall by reducing their leaves and starting to transfer carbohydrates into the root system of trees. Early fall color of burning bushes can be caused by either spider mite damage or drought stress. Joe Bogrs. OSU state horticulturalist. saw a few burning bushes turning red without any signs of mite damage. Watering can help if the water deficit is the issue. Soil compaction can be more difficult to correct after the plants have been installed. Mulching can help. However, it is better to improve the soils before plants are installed. Pay close attention to the overall condition of plants. some maples tend to have serious bark cracking especially on south and west facing sides. Bark cracking prevents the translocation of sugars from the tree leaf canopy to roots. Overabundance of sugars or carbohydrates leads to production of red pigments (anthocyanins). Bark damage occurred last winter when plants went into the winter with lots of sap in the phloem cells (vein like structures of plants) and quick drops in air tern. peratures below freezing caused the cells to freez and split open just under the bark. As the spring arrived the broken phloem did not feed the adjacent plant cells so they died causing the bark to slough off. Tree wrapping with corrugated tree wrap will assist in reducing bark cracking especially in younger trees.

B.og gardens add interest, biodiversity Bv DEAN FOSDICK FOR "'HE: ASSOCIA"'ED PRESS Bog gardens are making a big splash with people wanting to create unusual pockets of intere t near their homes. Few wetlands contain ao; man) difrerent life forms. "The really cool thing about hogs is their plant diversity," said Robert Brzuszek. an associate profe'>sor specializing in la'ndscapc design and ecology at Mississippi · State l niversity. Next to rain forests. sunny bogs in America's Southeast, which are characterized by msect-snaring pitcher plants, are the most biOdive~e settin!S in nature, he said, supportmg as many as 75 different plants per square meter. Bogs should not be confu<;ed with swamps (shallow pools of open water dominated by trees). marshes (flooded areas characterized by shrub'>). p.onds (bodies of water smaller than lakes) or rain gardens (planted parcels that absorb rainwater runoff). ''Bogs are bas1cally wet meadows or depressions with a sphagnum peat layer as part of the substrate." BrLuszek said. •· I hey'rc like a sheet of water passing slowly through the environment." Why would anyone want to build nn artificial bog garden? Perhaps to make a naturally waterlogged area look more attractive. Brwszck said. "Some of the wet soil plant<; are not only showy, but they're educational,'' he '>aid. "Lots of p~:oplc have bog gardens just so they can grow carnivorous plants. generally pitcher plants. Ch1ldrcn in particular are interested in plants that trap . and devour insects. ·• Others want to invite wildlife that they wouldn't see in drier settings. such a:. dragonflies. tadpoles and turtles. "Some insects arc very specific about living in bogs and nowhere else. They're adapted to certain plants.'' Brzu<>zek said ... , hat attracts different birds to feed on them, so in the end you get wildlife dher.;ity along with plant diversity.•· Still other gardeners want to contnbute to a cleaner environment. "A lot of people don't set out to build a bog garden but end up with one because tht.!y're running water through the ground and need a (natural) filter.'' said Jason Blake, aka ''The Pond Guy.'' a retailer of pond, Jake and water garden supplies from Marine City, Mich. ''Waste gets broken down in a bog. Plants use the waste a~ fertilizer. That results in clear water. healthy fish and vigorou~ plants." If you're thinking about~.:reating a bog. look for a sunny site, possibly in a roadside ditch. a saturated area bordering a pond or ncar an existing water fixture. A good soil blend is 80 percent coarse peat mo s with 20 percent sand. ''Peat retains moisture levels; sand opens it up a bit." Brzuszek said.
