Those · appropriations included a carryover· of $486.000 . Davenport said this year's carryover is expected to be less than last year's due to · the higher cost of operating the county government. He said he has been "running scenarios" to determine how funds will be appropriated, based on a number of possible carryover balances . Each year, commissioners must appropriate funds into county departments - primary courthouse operations - for the new year's operations. Those appropriations are based on anticipated revenue from inside and · voted ·real estate tax mill- age, interest on investments and the carryover from the previous year, as estimated by the county auditor, treasurer and. prosecuting attorney, who make up the county budget commission.

COLUMBUS The Ohio , Environmental Protection .Agency has released answers to formal questions askei:l by residents concerning Gatling, Ohio's permit applications for its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and waster water (permit-to-install) permits. The Ohio EPA approved the permits on Pee . 10. and · approved Gatlinft's "preferred alternatives ' present· ed at last month's public hearing. However, the preferred alternatives don't permit violations of existing water quality standards that protect human health and the environment. Ohio EPA addressed official comments by Elisa Young and Albert Proffitt of Racine . Proffitt asked if it was possible for Gatling to recycle the water they intend to discharge? The official answer for the Ohio EPA: "The water they intend to discharge is storm water · which comes in contact with coal and refuse piles . The coal preparation plant process water loop is designed as a recycle loop. Makeup water is often added to the process water loop, and utilizing storm water from the sedimentation ponds as makeup is a common industry practice. The applicant has stated that this practice will likely be · employed at the Yellowbush · mine. In order to recycle all the contact storm water from the site , the mine would need to design for large detention ponds to hold all the water through rainy months without requiring a discharge. The site is limited for · design of this feature without encroaching into floodways and impacting upstream flood areas." Proffitt also asked: "What ensures that my adjacent upstream property w11l not be affected by the new mine from flooding and water · contammallon?" The Ohio EPA response: "The I00 year flood elevation at the locatioll of the coal preparation facility is approximately 5&3 feet.. . The finished floor elevation of the thickener and plant is designed at 585 .... the prepped coal pile pad is above 583 feet and the refuse· cell alld raw coal pile are elevated even higher. Some of the sedimentktion ponds are located in areas prone to inundation during flood events and may be breached ."

This new year, resolve not to diet Movefrom dieting to a healthy way of life It's the New Year and people are starting to work on their New Year's resolut ions. After all the holiday get-togethers, treats and goodies, is it any wonder that the number one resoluIion on most people's list ~' • to lose weight? According to the New York Times, nearly twothirds ·of the Uniteo States population is · overwei&ht and of that number, It third are obese. These numbers are growing, even though millions of Americans are dieting at any given time, spending more than $33 million each year on weight loss products such as diet foods and drinks, according to the Institute of Medicine_ Older adults face greater challenges when we try to . l ose weight. Our metabolisms naturally slow down, we tend to l;le Jess physically active and we have ·to pay more attention to get the adequate nutrition we need. Studies also have shown that when a 20 year old and a 60 year old eat the same meal and then participate in the same exercise, the younger person will burn significantly more calories. You may be tempted to try one of the popular fad Barbara E. Riley diets that promise · quick weight Joss · by eating a severely. limited diet or eliminating certain food groups from what you are allowed to eat. Unfortunately,' fad diets are basically unhealthy because they may not provide all of the nutrients your body needs. You may lose weight at first, but diets that strictly limit calories or food choices are hard to follow: Most people quickly get tired of them and re~ain any lost weight. Don t be taken in by some of the claims mad~ by weight Joss programs. The . truth is: • No foods, not ·e,·en grapefruit. ·celery or cabbage· soup. can bum fat and make you Jose weight; • The claim on the label of a weight loss product that it is "'natural" or "herbal" does not necessarily mean · it is safe; and • Processed low- fat or nonfat foods can have just as many calories as the full fat version of the same food because of added sugar, flour or starch thickeners. Successful , healthy weight loss isn't about tricks or fads or a diet. It's about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-t~rm changes in daily eating and · exercise habits. It means eating the foods your body needs in the correct P,Ortion sizes, exercising as a regular part of your daily schedule and being able to live with the changes once you have lost the desired weight. In. many diets, you are not eating the way' you will eat for the rest of your life. You are eating foods you may not like very much and denying yourself foods that satisfy you. You may be able to stick with it until you reach your goal. but because you haven't made any real changes_ such as finding healthier foods you can enjoy in amounts that won't cause you to gain weight, studies show you will most likely regain the weight, and more, when you go off the .diet and go back to your old way of eating. By making slight changes to your diet and adding exercise to your schedule, you can eliminate 500 calories a day; which will lead to losing a pound a week. You can start by finding small changes you can incorporate into your life. Maybe it is drinking one Jess can of cola each day or having non-fat milk in your coffee instead of cream. You could skip high calorie beverages such juices. smoothies and blended coffee drinks and save 250 to 500 calories. You can fill up on fiber such as fruits and vegetables and order your salad dressing on the side. Remember to have fresh fruit for dessert . Make a small change each week for the next six weeks and you will have made a significant change in your eatmg habits. Don't think in terms of depriving yourself of foods you love_ but do eliminate empty calories you don't really like and find substitutes that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. Remember, it 's the small changes we make every day that make a big difference in the long run. Corps names McCray new geology section chief .

This new year, resolve not to diet Movefrom dieting to a healthy way of life It's the New Year and people are starting to work on their New Year's resolut ions. After all the holiday get-togethers, treats and goodies, is it any wonder that the number one resoluIion on most people's list ~' • to lose weight? According to the New York Times, nearly twothirds ·of the Uniteo States population is · overwei&ht and of that number, It third are obese. These numbers are growing, even though millions of Americans are dieting at any given time, spending more than $33 million each year on weight loss products such as diet foods and drinks, according to the Institute of Medicine_ Older adults face greater challenges when we try to . l ose weight. Our metabolisms naturally slow down, we tend to l;le Jess physically active and we have ·to pay more attention to get the adequate nutrition we need. Studies also have shown that when a 20 year old and a 60 year old eat the same meal and then participate in the same exercise, the younger person will burn significantly more calories. You may be tempted to try one of the popular fad Barbara E. Riley diets that promise · quick weight Joss · by eating a severely. limited diet or eliminating certain food groups from what you are allowed to eat. Unfortunately,' fad diets are basically unhealthy because they may not provide all of the nutrients your body needs. You may lose weight at first, but diets that strictly limit calories or food choices are hard to follow: Most people quickly get tired of them and re~ain any lost weight. Don t be taken in by some of the claims mad~ by weight Joss programs. The . truth is: • No foods, not ·e,·en grapefruit. ·celery or cabbage· soup. can bum fat and make you Jose weight; • The claim on the label of a weight loss product that it is "'natural" or "herbal" does not necessarily mean · it is safe; and • Processed low- fat or nonfat foods can have just as many calories as the full fat version of the same food because of added sugar, flour or starch thickeners. Successful , healthy weight loss isn't about tricks or fads or a diet. It's about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-t~rm changes in daily eating and · exercise habits. It means eating the foods your body needs in the correct P,Ortion sizes, exercising as a regular part of your daily schedule and being able to live with the changes once you have lost the desired weight. In. many diets, you are not eating the way' you will eat for the rest of your life. You are eating foods you may not like very much and denying yourself foods that satisfy you. You may be able to stick with it until you reach your goal. but because you haven't made any real changes_ such as finding healthier foods you can enjoy in amounts that won't cause you to gain weight, studies show you will most likely regain the weight, and more, when you go off the .diet and go back to your old way of eating. By making slight changes to your diet and adding exercise to your schedule, you can eliminate 500 calories a day; which will lead to losing a pound a week. You can start by finding small changes you can incorporate into your life. Maybe it is drinking one Jess can of cola each day or having non-fat milk in your coffee instead of cream. You could skip high calorie beverages such juices. smoothies and blended coffee drinks and save 250 to 500 calories. You can fill up on fiber such as fruits and vegetables and order your salad dressing on the side. Remember to have fresh fruit for dessert . Make a small change each week for the next six weeks and you will have made a significant change in your eatmg habits. Don't think in terms of depriving yourself of foods you love_ but do eliminate empty calories you don't really like and find substitutes that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. Remember, it 's the small changes we make every day that make a big difference in the long run. Corps names McCray new geology section chief .

PageA4 OPINION The Daily Sentinel 1'!-esday, December 30,2008 '' Obituaries Tuesday, December 30, 2008 Best auto plan.· bankruptcy terms minus bankruptcy A majority of Americans oppose an auto bailout, but you can be sure that they wi II be even unhappier if an auto collapse deepens the already-deepening · Great Recession. Even if most congressional Republicans are <)etermined to have the Detroit auto companies go into Chapter II bankruptcy and reorganization, the Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration are convinced it w·ould be a bad idea. Sixty percent of Americans, according to a Washington Post poll, think that bankruptcy would make no difference or would be good for the economy. But neither the incoming nor outgoing administration mai'nly thinks that because bankruptcy for General Motors could also result in the failure of companies that supply parts for all auto companies, including foreign transplants~ causing a collapse of the entire industry. And the · stigma of a Chapter II filing by U.S. auto companies ~ putting them into position for reorganization by courts might discourage any buyers from purchasing American, causing a cascade into · Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that is, liquidation. All that.could add several million people to the unemployment rolls at a time when joblessness is already surging. Another Washington Post poll found that 43 percent' of U.S. households have already suffered ·from job loss or reduced hours of work and 66 percent are worried that they won't be able to maintain their stan. dard of living. Sixty-five percent support the idea of up to $700 billion in infrastructure spendmg to prop up ihe economy. That suggests that the 55 percent who oppose an auto ' . Morton Kondracke bailout don 't understand the . potential consequences of · . bankruptcy. · As Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson told Fox News's Bret Baier on Tuesday, President George W. Bush "made a decision that he didn't want to see a failure of an auto company. so we're right now exploring the options." Asked about most conRepublicans' gressional favored process - Chapter II reor~anization Paulson smd "the economy is fragile. A failure would not be good at this time." And Vice President Dick Cheney told radio talk -show host Rush Limbaugh, "if the automobile industry goes belly up , there's <1 deep concern that 'that would be a major shock to 'the system." President-elect Barack Obama endorsed the White House -Co ngress ion a I Democrafic $14 billion bailou.t package that pass'ed the House last week but failed to survive a GOP filibuster. " . The hero of the moment in that exercise - though he .ultimately failed 'to win a victory ·- was Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. , who sought to fashion a ·bank· ruptcy-like reorganization package for OM without bringipg on the consequences of bankruptcy. . Corker, a freshman senator, tried to save everyone mvolved - the auto compl\nies, their employees, suppliers, the economy and his fellow Republicans ~ but he came up short because 'the United Auto Workers and their Democratic allies would 'not go along with his compromise proposal. His idea was to force GM's management, . the UAW and company creditors to make guaranteed concessions by a definite date - March 31 - using the threat of certain bankruptcy as a stick to prevent backsliding. The administrationDemocratic plan was similar in outline .,... and was defended by administration officials as "tough" - · but contained no certain terms for keeping the auto companies viable. Under th;1t plan, Bush would appoint ari "auto czar" ass igned to work out concessions by March 31 or Apri I 30 or demand that the · companies return their · bailout loans, resulting in bankruptcy. Corker determined that the administration terms weren't definite enou,gh and that his fellow Republicans · wouldn 't support it . So he. called for a twothirds "haircut" by GM 's l;lond"holders - that is , they'd write down · GM's debt to one-third of its original value - along with requirements that GM's pension funds convert the company's obligations into GM stock and that the .UAW reduce its pay and benetits package to match Toyota ·and the other transplants' average. Corker, even though he 's a junior member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, spent hours negotiating with OM, the bondholders and the UAW. But the UAW wouldn't agree to the deal, mainly because it figured that it would get an easier deal from the administration and, eventually, a. Democratic administration and a heavily De.mocratic · Congress. . Without the union concessions, Senate Republicans b)ocked the administration bill and CQ.Dgress went home to let the administration figure out what to do. · The Corker plan remains the best solution for the auto companies. It's· bankruptcy without the stigma of for• mal bankruptcy. It's shared sacrifice among the stakeholders to keep their com~ mon enterprise alive an~ limit losses to the economy. also The package involves limits on executive pay for the auto companies, although i.t leaves current ·, management in J?lace. The big questiOn now is; Does the administratiol) .have the leverage to obtain tough · concessions all around? Having made it clear it will not let the auto compa• nies fail , Bush & Co. seem· ingly have given up a big stick in trying to obtain terms-·and the UAW sim• ply has to look 30-odd days ahead to . see Democratic . relief. Although many conservli' rives cite unionized auto woi'kers pay at $75 an hour versus $45 at nonunionized plants, the difference in ~ay and benetits is actually JUSt $1 0 an hour - an amount the UAW should be pre,. pared to eat in order to keep 1ts goose laying eggs. •·. If the Bush administration can't win bankruptcy-like concessions to keep the autQ C\Jmpanies alive for the long . run, perhaps it should ju~! make a short-term loan t& keep GM and Chrysler breathing until Jan. 20 and let Democrats figure out the longer run. · The danger is that, unions being as powerful .an influ: ence on Democrats as they are, the next bailout will just · be the first of many and government · will end up running auto .companies along with the banks. Bankruptcy might be. better than that. (Morton Kondracke i$ executi¥e editor of Roll Call, the new$paper oj Capitol Hill.) ' .

PageA4 OPINION The Daily Sentinel 1'!-esday, December 30,2008 '' Obituaries Tuesday, December 30, 2008 Best auto plan.· bankruptcy terms minus bankruptcy A majority of Americans oppose an auto bailout, but you can be sure that they wi II be even unhappier if an auto collapse deepens the already-deepening · Great Recession. Even if most congressional Republicans are <)etermined to have the Detroit auto companies go into Chapter II bankruptcy and reorganization, the Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration are convinced it w·ould be a bad idea. Sixty percent of Americans, according to a Washington Post poll, think that bankruptcy would make no difference or would be good for the economy. But neither the incoming nor outgoing administration mai'nly thinks that because bankruptcy for General Motors could also result in the failure of companies that supply parts for all auto companies, including foreign transplants~ causing a collapse of the entire industry. And the · stigma of a Chapter II filing by U.S. auto companies ~ putting them into position for reorganization by courts might discourage any buyers from purchasing American, causing a cascade into · Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that is, liquidation. All that.could add several million people to the unemployment rolls at a time when joblessness is already surging. Another Washington Post poll found that 43 percent' of U.S. households have already suffered ·from job loss or reduced hours of work and 66 percent are worried that they won't be able to maintain their stan. dard of living. Sixty-five percent support the idea of up to $700 billion in infrastructure spendmg to prop up ihe economy. That suggests that the 55 percent who oppose an auto ' . Morton Kondracke bailout don 't understand the . potential consequences of · . bankruptcy. · As Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson told Fox News's Bret Baier on Tuesday, President George W. Bush "made a decision that he didn't want to see a failure of an auto company. so we're right now exploring the options." Asked about most conRepublicans' gressional favored process - Chapter II reor~anization Paulson smd "the economy is fragile. A failure would not be good at this time." And Vice President Dick Cheney told radio talk -show host Rush Limbaugh, "if the automobile industry goes belly up , there's <1 deep concern that 'that would be a major shock to 'the system." President-elect Barack Obama endorsed the White House -Co ngress ion a I Democrafic $14 billion bailou.t package that pass'ed the House last week but failed to survive a GOP filibuster. " .

But the UAW wouldn't agree to the deal, mainly because it figured that it would get an easier deal from the administration and, eventually, a. Democratic administration and a heavily De.mocratic · Congress. . Without the union concessions, Senate Republicans b)ocked the administration bill and CQ.Dgress went home to let the administration figure out what to do. · The Corker plan remains the best solution for the auto companies. It's· bankruptcy without the stigma of for• mal bankruptcy. It's shared sacrifice among the stakeholders to keep their com~ mon enterprise alive an~ limit losses to the economy. also The package involves limits on executive pay for the auto companies, although i.t leaves current ·, management in J?lace. The big questiOn now is; Does the administratiol) .have the leverage to obtain tough · concessions all around? Having made it clear it will not let the auto compa• nies fail , Bush & Co. seem· ingly have given up a big stick in trying to obtain terms-·and the UAW sim• ply has to look 30-odd days ahead to . see Democratic . relief. Although many conservli' rives cite unionized auto woi'kers pay at $75 an hour versus $45 at nonunionized plants, the difference in ~ay and benetits is actually JUSt $1 0 an hour - an amount the UAW should be pre,. pared to eat in order to keep 1ts goose laying eggs. •·. If the Bush administration can't win bankruptcy-like concessions to keep the autQ C\Jmpanies alive for the long . run, perhaps it should ju~! make a short-term loan t& keep GM and Chrysler breathing until Jan. 20 and let Democrats figure out the longer run. · The danger is that, unions being as powerful .an influ: ence on Democrats as they are, the next bailout will just · be the first of many and government · will end up running auto .companies along with the banks. Bankruptcy might be. better than that. (Morton Kondracke i$ executi¥e editor of Roll Call, the new$paper oj Capitol Hill.) ' .

Browns owner . Randy · Lerner made his second rnajor move of the .offseason Monday by firing coach Romeo Crennel , who lost 40 games in four seasons, never made the playoffs and went 0-8 against Pittsburgh, the only full-time Cleveland coach to go winless against the archrival Steelers. Crennel's dismissal came less than 24 .hours after . Lerner fired general manager Phil Savage followin'g a J l-0 loss in Pittsburgh. The Browns, who began the season pe~ged as one of the Nfl.'s rismg teams and ended it at 4-12 and in last place, began their offseason with a disheartenin~ loss. Bill Cowher isn t coming to Cleveland. The jut-jawed former Steelers coach and No. I target on Lerner's coaching wish list told the Browns he is not interested in joining them. During a meeting on Saturday night in New York. Cowher, who has worked as a studio analyst for CBS since stepping down following the 2006 season , informed Lerner he has no intention of returning to coaching in 2009 and asked to be taken off the list of possible candidates. "The explanation that he gave," Lerner said, "was that he was very focused on his kids and his life in North Carolina, and the. WilY he's livil!g in a noncoaching or, if you will, a civilian existence, and thitt he wasn't finished with that." Lerner said he and Cowher had a long conversation about the Browns and Cowher's days as a player and assistant .coach in Cleveland. Cowher, who is certain to . be coveted by several oth~r teams~ could change h1s lnind. But Lerner said he left their meeting feeling as if it would be their last. "He wasn't coy. He spoke very clearly," Lerner said. "He was very prepared to describe his position. It wasn't a dance.". Lerner said he never got a chance to make a financial pitch to Cowher. . "It wasn't that kind of meeting," he said. "This was an informal visit to get out on the table that he was not prepared to be considered acarididate. Had I heard otherwise, I would have skipped that meeting and said lets get to it (business)." So with Cowher apparently out of the picture, Lerner has turned his attention to finding a replacement for Savage, who improved Cleveland's talent but had management deficiencies and embarr«ssed the club this season when he sent a profane ~-mail to a fan Southern fromPageBl the last round, while the offense broke away for a strong 19-point finish and 56-43 triumph.

Browns owner . Randy · Lerner made his second rnajor move of the .offseason Monday by firing coach Romeo Crennel , who lost 40 games in four seasons, never made the playoffs and went 0-8 against Pittsburgh, the only full-time Cleveland coach to go winless against the archrival Steelers. Crennel's dismissal came less than 24 .hours after . Lerner fired general manager Phil Savage followin'g a J l-0 loss in Pittsburgh. The Browns, who began the season pe~ged as one of the Nfl.'s rismg teams and ended it at 4-12 and in last place, began their offseason with a disheartenin~ loss. Bill Cowher isn t coming to Cleveland. The jut-jawed former Steelers coach and No. I target on Lerner's coaching wish list told the Browns he is not interested in joining them. During a meeting on Saturday night in New York. Cowher, who has worked as a studio analyst for CBS since stepping down following the 2006 season , informed Lerner he has no intention of returning to coaching in 2009 and asked to be taken off the list of possible candidates. "The explanation that he gave," Lerner said, "was that he was very focused on his kids and his life in North Carolina, and the. WilY he's livil!g in a noncoaching or, if you will, a civilian existence, and thitt he wasn't finished with that." Lerner said he and Cowher had a long conversation about the Browns and Cowher's days as a player and assistant .coach in Cleveland. Cowher, who is certain to . be coveted by several oth~r teams~ could change h1s lnind. But Lerner said he left their meeting feeling as if it would be their last. "He wasn't coy. He spoke very clearly," Lerner said. "He was very prepared to describe his position. It wasn't a dance.". Lerner said he never got a chance to make a financial pitch to Cowher. . "It wasn't that kind of meeting," he said. "This was an informal visit to get out on the table that he was not prepared to be considered acarididate. Had I heard otherwise, I would have skipped that meeting and said lets get to it (business)." So with Cowher apparently out of the picture, Lerner has turned his attention to finding a replacement for Savage, who improved Cleveland's talent but had management deficiencies and embarr«ssed the club this season when he sent a profane ~-mail to a fan Southern fromPageBl the last round, while the offense broke away for a strong 19-point finish and 56-43 triumph. Southern hit 17-of-34 overall and 9-of-12 at the line. The.Tornadoes had 16 rebounds (Teaford 6, Dunn 4). 18 turnovers, II steals (Dunn 3), three assists and 12 fouls . Wahama hit 22-of45 overall with 25 rebounds (Hysell 9 , Tully 6), 14 turnovers. 12 steals, six assists, and ten fouls.

They started Q-8. They fini shed last in the league in offense. They headed intp the offseason with a mess · on their hands. Any chance of change? There are going to be a lot of changes on the roster, particularly · on offense. The Bengals have a lot of decisions to make about their running backs. their receivers and their offensive line . Do they trade Chad Ocho Cinco after a subpar season? Do they use their franchise tag on receiver . T.J. Houshmandzadeh? Do they try to keep running back Cedric Benson'' In that sense. change is coming. But what about the bigger issues, the ones that have held the franchise back for 18 years? Is owner Mike Brown going to hire a general manager, turn the team over to someone with a respected football background, and let Lewis have more say in what goes on? ·Of course not. In the most important ways, there will be no significant change. While other underachieving teams fired their coaches and general managers on Monday. the Bengals went about planning for next year. Lewis has two years left on ·his contract and is working for a boss who doesn't want to pay someone to do nothing. Fire the general manag-· er? The Bengals don 't even hav ~ one. Brown makes the decisions . So, there's no reason to expect significant change in an organization that has produced only one winning season in the last 18 years. What about more superficia! change that gets the team back to at least being competitive? That could happen. During their descent to 4Il - l , the Bengals showed improvement on defen se that was more than offset by the offense's implosion. The defense finished 12th overall, while the offense came in last in the league . " It was nowhere near where our.season needed to be ," said quarterback Carson Palmer, who played in only four games because of an elbow injury. "It was huge disappointment." The overriding question of the offseason involves Palmer's right elbow, which has a ligament and tendon partially torn from · the bone. Instead of getting reconstructive surgery, Palmer chose to rest the elbow for two months and see if it healed. He threw in practice last week and reported no prob!ems, an indication the plan is working. Unless he has a setback, he ought . to be ·ready for offseason workouts. · "I've had another MRI," Palmer sa id. "I'll get the results back this week . I'll be ready to roll in the offseason and keep throwing and keep training , hopefully · wtlh no flaws and no surgery." If Palmer is back, the offense could be tompetitive. "He means a lot," receiver Chris Henry said. "It's a totally different game when he's out there, He's great, man. He makes everything so much easier when he's out there." The Bengals have to decide who's going to be a out there with him. The offensive line was expected to be one of the team's strength s, given its depth and experience. It struggled in preseason, when Palmer was hit often and broke hi s nose, and didn't get much tletter ·w~en the season began. It crumbled when injuries set in . ·· " It was a perceived st-rength . but it wasn't a strength," Lewis said. Both starting tackles Levi Jones and Stacy Andrews - ended the season hurt . Jones has been limited by various injuries the last few years, and Andrews tore ligaments in his right knee during t.he second-to-last game. He' ll have reconstructive surgery next week . Wi.th the line in flux , the offense went nowhere. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick - an unrestricted free agent - finished as the team's secondleading rusher with his scrambles~Benson signed a one-year deal in late September, ])ad three 100yard rushing games, and AP.photo . will likely test free agency.

Bob Robinson gave the invocation at yesterday 's ribbon cutting ceremony for the Bridge of Honor, he reminded those gathered that the river banks held "silent stories of humans and events." Some of those humans, from both sides of the Ohio River, gathered for yesterday 's special event to share their stories which were connected by the new bridge. Josephine Donohue of Chester was there not just as a spectator but to represent her late brother, Staff Sgt. Jimmy Stewart who was formerly of West Columbia, W.Va. Stewart is one of the three honorees of the Bridge of Honor. ''I' m proud of him," Donohue said. "I'm glad they remembered my brother." Donohue said the day was bittersweet because her brother wasn't there and her mother, Ethel M. Stitt formerly of Middleport, had passed away earlier this year on March 19.
