Texas (AP) Twice during his introduction of Wade Phillips as Dallas Cowboys coach, Jerry Jones had to stop and gather himself. The decision was that em(}tional for the team owner. "We needed to get it right." Jones said, pausing as tears welled up in his eyes. "'In my mind, we got it ri ght ." Phillips was hired Thursday. providing Dallas with an experienced replacement for Bill Parcells and someone well-versed in the 3-4 defense. Maybe more signitkantly for Jones was ~etting a coach who can wm now. The Cowboys haven't won a postseawn gante in 10 seasons, the longest drou8ht in the history of a team With live Super Bowls. ''lltis team is best served now, next week, next month and next season by an NFL head coach with experience, that knows the game, that candidly knows the personnel that are P,laying the game right now, ' Jones said. The seventh coach in team history, Phillips is only the second to arrive in Dallas with previous NFL head coaching experience. The other was Parcells, who retired Jan. 22 after four sea,ons with the Cowboys. Phillips, defensive coordinator at San Diego the past three seasons, has a 48-42 head coaching record over three seasons with Buffalo, two with Denver and seasonending interim stints with New Orleans and Atlanta. The 59-year-old son of longtime Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips has been in the NFL for 30 of the last 3 I seasons. "It's great to have these cowboy boots back in Texas," said Phillips, showing his boots from the podium, where his father sat to his right. "(Jones) feels like and I feel like I was the best tit for this job. ... I think I can make an Immediate impact." Phillips joins Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson as the only Texas natives to be in charge of "America's Team." Landry and Johnson both won two Super Bowls in Dallas. "It's a big job, but I'm ready for it," said Phillips, who got a three-year contract that includes an option for a fourth seawn. Jones interviewed 10 candidates before hiring his sixth coach since buying the team in 1989. Phillips was interviewed two weeks ago, and his chances of getting the job seemed to be fading when Norv Thrner was among live more who followed him. "It was really tough," Phillips said. "'In the game, 1 have control in a lot of things, like making the calls. In this, I didn't have any control. I'm just hoping." But Jones chose the defen- AP photo Wade Phillips makes a statement after being named head coach of the Dallas Cowboys during a news conference at the Cowboys headquarters in Irving, Texas on Thursday. sive-minded Phillips over Turner, a two-time head coach who was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator for Super Bowl titles atier the 1992 and 1993 seasons. But Tumer was only 59-83-1 in nine seasons as head coach for Washington and Oakland. ;;It was important to get the experience and expertise and some of the specific things that I felt we needed to help our team out," Jones said. "How we were going to go torward with the offense, how we were going to go forward with the defense." Atier Jason Garrett interviewed for the vacancy Jan. 25. Jones hired him to an unspecified role on the coaching staff. It has been pre~urned he will be the offensive l.'OOrdinator. but Phillips said he didn't want · to discuss Garrett's role until he had a chance to talk to the lonner backup quarterback. Phillips' head coaching record includes 3-4 as a 1111-in for the Saints and Falcons and 0-3 in the playoffs. most notably the "Music City Miracle," when Tennessee used a trick kick retum for the winning touchdown in the closing seconds against the · Bills in January 2000. Besides carrying on his family tradition, Phillips has handled the dubious task of replacing Super Bowl coaches Dan Reeves in Denver and Marv Levy in Buffalo. So the idea of following Parcells doesn't bother him. Parcells. · who won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants, went 34-32 in four years in Dallas and lost twice in the playoffs. He implemented the 3-4 scheme in Dallas two years ago, and has built a roster suited for it, highlighted by end-turnedlinebacker DeMarcus Ware. "I love the defense tltal S;m Diego plays. and 1 think our team has guys who could play great roles in It," Ware said Thursday from the Pro Bowl. Yet the defense was the weak link last season, when Dalla~ went 9-7 and lost in the tirst ro!lnd of the playoffs. The Cowboys lost four of their last live games, including the last three, mainly because they couldn't stop teams. Phillips, meanwhile, was helping the Chargers go 14-2. They allowed the seventhfewest points in the NFL and were rated I Oth in total defense. Phillips was bam in Omnge. Texas, <md played college ball at Houston.

(AP) - Four tournaments into his season, Phil Mickelson showed signs of turning the comer Thursday. Mickelson, nowhere near the leaderboard since his collapse at the U.S. Open last summer, eal)lcd hi' fmal hole at Poppy Hills for a 7-under 65 to share the lead with rookie John Mallinger and Nick Watney in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Whether this week marks the return of Mickelson won't be decided for three more days. One thing was clear on a gray afternoon on the . Monterey Peninsula was the return of the miserable conditions that have made this tournament infamous over the years. It was cold, wet and windy - known as "Crosby" weather in these parts because of the years when Bing Crosby was the toui11ament host . Mickelson and Watney played at Poppy Hills, the easiest of three courses in the rotation because it is the farthest from the Pacitic Ocean and shielded by trees. The best round belonged to Mallinger. a 27-year-old rookie who was on the wrong course at the right 'time. He was at Pebble lleaclt,. which is exposed tu the wind along the cliffs of the ocean . Mallinger, however, started his round on the lOth tee in the virtual calm of the morning. and gusts strong enough to topple a tree at Spyglass Hill didn't arrive until he had only live holes remaining. Then again, it helped that he made I 00 feet worth of birdie putts on his tirst three holes, starting with a 60-footer from just short of the I Oth green. "1 gut 14 holes with good weather." Mallinger said. ,;Those are where yo u make your birdies. so when you've got good weather. you ve got an advantage." He should clarify "good" in this case, because sunshine has graced this picturesque peninsula the last six years. It was good for 14 holes because the flags weren't bending sideways, the clouds had not released the rain and it didn't feel like winter. "It was benelkial," he said. Jim Furyk played his best golf in the worst conditions, makin~ live birdies on the back nme at Spyglass Hill for a 67. Also at 67 w01s Arjun Atwal, another early starter at Pebble Beach who went witheut a bogey until the 18th. The wind was blowing so hard off the ocean that his tee shot sailed right of a bunker. nearly into tlte hedges. Mickelson is a two-time winner at Pebble Beach, his most recent victory coming two years ago when he opened with a 62 at Spyglass and was never serious! y challenged the rest of the week. He had not played since goi ng 0-4- 1 at the Ryder Cup. taking a three-month break and approaching this year feeling fresh. Instead. he looked rusty at the Bob Hope Classic and Buick Invitational, where he linished in the middle of the pack. and at the FBR Open last week outside Phoenix. where he missed the cut. Mickelson ran off three straight birdies on the back nine at Poppy Hills, made the turn in 31 and then settled for pars in the cold, blustery conditions until the par-5 ninth, where he shot into a share of the lead. Poppy was the place to he. It was the only course that averaged under par in the opening round, while the average at Pehhle Beach was nearly 75 .

OSHP cautions against Meigs offers adult day care program aggressive.driving BY CHARLENE HOEFliCH HOEFLICH@MYOAIL.YSENTINEL .COM STAFF REPORT NEWS@MYOAILYSENTINEL.COM If you have ever been passed on the wrong side, tailgated, cut off or hemmed in by another vehicle, you've been the victim of an · aggressive driver. Aggr~ssive driving has become a serious problem on our roadways. What is aggressive drivin~? It can be delined as an mdividual who commits a combination of moving traftic offenses that endanger other persons or property. Some examples of aggressive driving are excessive speed, frequent or unsafe lane changes, failure to signal, failure to yield the right of way. disregarding traffic controls and impaired driving. The Ohio State Highway Patrol took action to reduce this type of driving in June 1997, when Operation TRIAD (Targeting Reckless, Intimidating and Ag~ressive Drivers) was inittated. Operation, TRIAD is a program that lhcorpocates aircraft entorcement to target motor vehicle violations that are typically difficult to detect and enforce by troopers on the ground. The patrol also took action to reduce congestion on the roadways with OhioSafe Commute in 2003. OhioSafe Commute allows law enforcement officers to be stationed in high crash areas of Ohio to enforce safer speeds and clear ~rashes quickly to prevent congestion and additional crashes. In 2006, the patrol made over 1.4 million professional stops. Of these, 554,570 were enforcement stops, including I 06,145 for aggressive driving. Drivers speeding at more than 20 miles-perhour over the posted limit accounted for 45,467 of the aggressive driving stops. In 2006, the patrol stopped 446 aggressive drivers in Gallia County and 447 in Meigs County. Aggressive behavior can consist of tailgating. nash. ing their lights at other drivers because they are annoyed, aggressive or ntde gestures, deliberately or prevents drivers from moving their vehicle. verbal abuse, and/or assaulting another driver. Your attitude before starting the vehicle has a lot to do with how stressed you will become while driving. Congested roadways and pent-up frustration can lead to aggressive driving. An aggressive· driver who resorts to using a roadway shoulder to pass may startle other drivers and cause them to take an evasive action resulting in a crash.

He makes money selling the Ohio plates to anyone interested in putting a vintage plate on their car. Mostly, he just collects them because he enjoys it.

Omen had the plates stacked in crates in the garage, but after his wife complained about their heatmg bill one winter, Omen layered the walls in license plates, which act as a kind of insulation.

Omen finds his license plates at antique stores, Junk yards and flea markets . 'He prefers to buy them by the box because they are cheaper that way. "When you get a nice box, you can really find some rare gems," Omen said. "There's always a goody in there somewhere." Omen is seeking a 1939 Washington plate because the early plates say "Washin~on State," while later verstons don't.

Some states require owners to keep them with the car, some require owners to give t!'te plates back when done. The more rare states are worth more money.

Some plates date back to the turn of the 20th ce ntury. Some are · licensed for state vehicles, a rare find, according to Omen. The collector staJted stockpiling plates in 1980 when his son was born. He found an antique plate at a flea market, · and then decided he needed all 50 states. Many flea markets and antique shops later, Omen is now the -proud owner of more than 3,000 license plates. He makes money selling the Ohio plates to anyone interested in putting a vintage plate on their car. Mostly, he just collects them because he enjoys it. "I like collecting anything auto-related," Omen said. "My passion is automobiles. Their license plates make nice wallpaper." His oldest plate is from 1910. He's also proud of an Ohio plate from 1916, and a Maine plate from 1919. Omen had the plates stacked in crates in the garage, but after his wife complained about their heatmg bill one winter, Omen layered the walls in license plates, which act as a kind of insulation. "It's pretty decent at keeping the heat in," Omen said. Omen retired in Juqe from the Millfield Post Office, where he was postmaster. He uses his free time,to sort and admire his license plates. Omen also has a few prized signs, including a Route 66 sign and a yellow stop sign that was used before 1946 when stop signs were switched to red. Omen finds his license plates at antique stores, Junk yards and flea markets . 'He prefers to buy them by the box because they are cheaper that way. "When you get a nice box, you can really find some rare gems," Omen said. "There's always a goody in there somewhere." Omen is seeking a 1939 Washington plate because the early plates say "Washin~on State," while later verstons don't. Omen also wouldn't mind owning a few "drunk taj!s." bright yellow plates wtth red lettering meant to designate people convicted of ,drunken driving offenses. "I really like the ones that have graphics or a state motto," Omen said. "Those stick out nice." Any plate older than 50 years is generally worth about $20, depending on quality. "It's all about condition," Omen said. Some states are rarer than others, especially Alaska and Hawaii. Some states require owners to keep them with the car, some require owners to give t!'te plates back when done. The more rare states are worth more money. For Omen, his collection is a nice way to spend his retirement . "I am a ~ack rat," Omen said. "I don t throw anything away. If anything look s interesting, I'll drag it home. I enjoy my retirement, and this keeps me busy." mize the potential dangers of road rage. including : • Be polite and courteous, even when other drivers are not • Share the road • Remain calm and move out of the way of an unsafe driver • Do not react to provocation • Stay away from erratic drivers • Avoid eye contact with an aggressive driver • Use your tiorn sparingly .• Do not make unfriendly or obscene gestures • Always signal before changing lanes • Do not tailgate · • Do riot block the passing lane • When parking, do not rake more than one parking space • Allow plenty of time for your trip We all share the responsibility of keeping the roadway' in OhiO among the safest to travel in the nation.

The association teamed up with the state's egg producers to promote the program on egg canons. The aid averages about $98 monthly. It's based on income levels and doesn' t' exclude people with jobs.

Deaths Highlights from the billion-dty book tour I'm on Day 15, or possibly Day 73, of a nine-billion-city book tour. I'm surviving on two major food groups: the Bagel Group and the Cream Cheese Group. I drink hot coffee constantly as I ride from interview to interview. I spill a lol on myself. This is good: It keeps me awake. Right now, I'm a guest on the noon news at a TV station in Albuquerque. I have no idea why I was . sent here; I'm too tired to ask questions. Any day now, I could find myself in the Ryukyu Islands, where r would use simple hand gestures to promote my book to the residents, who would purchase it with fish . The Albuquerque noon news anchor person, a big, boomy-voiced guy named Ted, informs the viewers that today's Top Story is the visit of Hillary Clinton to nearby Santa Fe. The station has a camera crew on location; on the screen, we see a live picture, as it' is actually happening, of waiters setting tables in a restaurant. Ted informs us that Hillary will be eating there later on. Ted, who works alone, reads all the stories, including weather and spons. He also does guest interviews, which are conducted in two little chairs located about 15 feet from his news desk. This means that Ted has to keep shunling back and forth between tbe desk and the chairs, \vhich is tricky because (a) he has to keep talking. and (b) there's a fat microphone cabk running Dave Barry down his pants leg. So the viewers see Ted booming out a story from his new s desk, and then the screen will show some videotape as Ted, still booming, scuttles over to the interview area, dragging his cable leg behind him, Igor-like, so that when the studio camera comes back on, there's Ted, miraculously in a new location, with his guest. He could definitely use some on-air help. (Connie Chung, phone your agent.) My interview lasts maybe two min~tes and consists almost entirely of Ted and me punching each other in the shoulders with increasing force. This is fine with me; after two weeks. I'm sick of talking about my book. As I'm leaving the studio, I meet Ted's next in-studio guest, a puppy named June Bug, who is the 'Pet of the Week. It's a shame that I dido 't stay to watch the interview, because as I later learned, June Bug urinated on the woman from the Animal Humane Association. Albuquerque: Where The News Never Stops. Here are some other book-tour highlights: WASHINGTON, D.C.: I appear on a TV talk show devoted to the issue of how bad TV talk shows are. One guest is a college professor who is billed as a talk-show authority and who sounds exactly like Joan Rivers. She watches talk shows constantly and has written a book about how bad they are; she has discussed this on Oprah. Appearing with her is a woman who, as I understand it, was involved in some kind of romantic affair, which she talked about on a bunch of talk shows; now she is on this talk show to talk about how she wants to put this painful episode behind her and wishes people would stop talking about her private life on talk shows. The talk- show hosts and the talk -show audience all agree heartily that talk shows are very bad. I feel like a total sleazeball for . being on one. CLEVELAND: For reasons that are still not clear, some radio guys decide that a good way to promote my book would be to take a microphone out onto a balcony and record the sound ~f me using a giant slingshot to shoot water balloons into the parking lot . One balloon explodes near a pedestrian, who looks up and scurries nervously away, no doubt heading straight tu a bookstore. LOS ANGELES: I'm on a morning TV news show featuring roughly 17 perky anchor persons. who take turns discussing new s stO: ries ranging in signiticance all the way from Mel Gibson to Heather Locklear. Also there's a lengthy remote interview with - I swear - a sea lion named Clyde, who· barks relentlessly into the interviewer's microphone, making the same noise over and over, reminding me very much of myself on a book tour, except that Clyde has a certain dignity. At anothu point, the Traffic Correspondent, a. scarily perky woman up in a helicopter, holds a Bullwink,le the Moose doll up to the camera and refuses to give a traffic· report until one of the anchor persons imitates. Bullwinkle's voice. SEATTLE: At a bookstore, I meet a urologist who tells me and a grouP: · of fas cinated yet horrified: onlookers about items that he personally has removed from the male, anatomy unit. ''One was a swizzle stick from a Ramada Inn," he says, causing a violent outbreak of mass wincing. "I still have that one." Also on this book tour, I got interviewed by Dick Cavett; a TV personality named Fred who wrote a book entitled "Onions, Onions, Onions"; Danny Bonaduce, the former 'Partridge Family' child star turned radio personality and (I mean this as a compliment) lunatic; a radio personality called "Smash" ("People call me ·Smash,"' he told me); and another radio personality called 'The Greaseman." who demonstrated, on the air, at least six unusual and dramatic ways to commit an act. of tlatulence.

Barack Obama unnounced his bid for president Saturday, a black man evoking Abraham Lincoln's ability to unite a nation and a Democrat portraying himself as a fresh face capable of leading a new generation. "Let us transform this nation," he told thousands shivering in the cold at the campaign's kickoff. Obama, 45, is the youngest candidate in the Democrats' 2008 primary field dominated by frontrunner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and filled with more experienced lawmakers. In an address from the state capital where he began his elective career 10 years ago, the fi rst-term U.S . senat0r sought to distinguish himself as a staunch opponent of the Iraq war and a White House hopeful whose lack of political experience is an asset. "I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change," Obama said to some of the loudest applause of his 20minute speech. Obama is lookin~ to cap his remarkable , raptd ri se to· prominence wtth the biggest political prize of all - the presidency. His elective career began just I0 years ago in the Illinois Legislature. He . lost a bid for a U.S. House seat, then won the Senate seat in 2004, a relatively smooth election made easier by GOP stumbles. In his speech, Obama did not mention his roots as the son of a man from Kenya and a woman from Kansas, his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia or the history he would make if elected, That compelling biography has turned him into a political celebrity. Instead, he focused on his life in Illinois over the past AP photo U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., waves to supporters as he arrives to announce his candidacy for president of the United States at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill .. Saturday. two decades, beginning with a job as a community organizer with a $13,000-ayear salary that strength · ened his Chri stian faith. He said the struggles he saw people face inspired him to get a law degree and run for the Legislature, where he served eight years . He tied his announcement to the legacy of Lincoln. announcing from the building where the future 16th president served in the state Legislature. "We can build a more hopeful America. And that is why, in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a house divided to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America," Obama said. His voice rose to a sho~t as he spoke over the checra from thou1ands who braved temperatures in the teens. "I know it's a little chilly, but I'm fired up," Obama said as he took the podium with his wife Miche lle and daughters Mal ia, 8, and Sasha, 5, with U2's "City of Blinding Lights" blaring on the speakers. Local authorities estimated the crowd at between 15,000 and 17,000. Obama gained national recognition with the publication of two best- selling books, "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," and by delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 - the same year he was elected to the Senate. His optimistic message and personal story immediately sparked talk of his White House potential. "He's young and he 's fresh," said 22-year-old Rachel Holtz, a graduate student from DeKalb, Ill.. Organ removal before brain death taking hold in Ohio CLEVELAND (AP) Ohio hospitals have quietly begun heeding national calls for removing o1ans from people who have atal brain injuries when their hearts stop but before they are brain dead. One of the last holdouts was Cuyahoga County, where Prosecutor Bill Mason for years had blocked the procedure - at one point threatening homicide charges if doctors used it. But in August, he issued a legal opinion stating that the organ removal process can begin after both the heartbeat and breathing stop and can't be restored . "We're really excited about it. We' re probably the only major city in the United States that has not allowed this to happen," said Gordon Bowen, Executive director of LifeBanc, the organ pro- curement a~ency for 20 northeast Ohio counties. ' Most organs are removed for donation only after the br.1in ceases all activity. But that applies to less than 2 percent of all deaths, according to LifeBanc. Organ removals after the hean can't be restarted have become more common nationwide, and bioethics experts say if done properly they can help address the shortage of organs for transplant without endangering donors. Last year. the national group that accredits hospitals started requiring that hospitals develop protocols for the procedure. There were 366 such organ donors in 2004, up from II a decade earlier. reported the President' s Council on Bioethics. which last year called for "a morally responsible expansion of this practice" and is set to meet again thi s month. LifeBanc's fust donation after cardiac death was in December 2005 at Akron ·City Hospital, from a 27 · year-old car crash victim, according to the northeast Ohio chapter of the International Transplant Nurses Society. Three such donations took place last year in Akron, LifeBanc spokesman Chuck Heald said. Mason said he endorsed LifeBanc 's new protocol because it no longer called for a blood-thinning drug that can preserve the organs but might hasten death. About 2,500 Ohioans and about 100,000 people nationwide are on waiting lists for organ transplants. who plans to work in edu cation . Brenda and Michael Talkington, "ho live near Muncie. Ind .. said they have never been involved in a political campaign. but both "ere laid off from jobs with a lighting company and plan to volunteer for Obama. "He makes you feel like it is possible to change thing>," Brenda Talkington said. She seemed to be reading from Obama's playbook. He spoke of resha~ing the economy for the digttal age, investing in education, pro· tecting employee benefits, insuring those who do not have health care, ending poveny. weaning America from foreign oil and fighting terrorism while rebuildi n ~ global alliances . But he satd the first priority must be tn end the war in Iraq . "American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the hean of someone else's civil war." he said. He noted that he was against the invasion from the start. Obama talked how previous generations have brought change - fighting oil colonizers, slavery and the Great Depression, wel coming immigrants, building railroads and landing a man on the mnon. "Each and every time, a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done," he said. "Today we arc called once more and it is time for our generation to answer that call." The Old State Capitol was where Lincoln launched his unsuccessful 1858 U.S. Senate campaign against Stephen Douglas with hi s famous "House Divided" speech. During his presidential campaign in 1860, Lincoln used rooms in the second floor as hi s political headquarters, and his body lay in state there in 1865.

Deaths Highlights from the billion-dty book tour I'm on Day 15, or possibly Day 73, of a nine-billion-city book tour. I'm surviving on two major food groups: the Bagel Group and the Cream Cheese Group. I drink hot coffee constantly as I ride from interview to interview. I spill a lol on myself. This is good: It keeps me awake. Right now, I'm a guest on the noon news at a TV station in Albuquerque. I have no idea why I was . sent here; I'm too tired to ask questions. Any day now, I could find myself in the Ryukyu Islands, where r would use simple hand gestures to promote my book to the residents, who would purchase it with fish . The Albuquerque noon news anchor person, a big, boomy-voiced guy named Ted, informs the viewers that today's Top Story is the visit of Hillary Clinton to nearby Santa Fe. The station has a camera crew on location; on the screen, we see a live picture, as it' is actually happening, of waiters setting tables in a restaurant. Ted informs us that Hillary will be eating there later on. Ted, who works alone, reads all the stories, including weather and spons. He also does guest interviews, which are conducted in two little chairs located about 15 feet from his news desk. This means that Ted has to keep shunling back and forth between tbe desk and the chairs, \vhich is tricky because (a) he has to keep talking. and (b) there's a fat microphone cabk running Dave Barry down his pants leg. So the viewers see Ted booming out a story from his new s desk, and then the screen will show some videotape as Ted, still booming, scuttles over to the interview area, dragging his cable leg behind him, Igor-like, so that when the studio camera comes back on, there's Ted, miraculously in a new location, with his guest. He could definitely use some on-air help. (Connie Chung, phone your agent.) My interview lasts maybe two min~tes and consists almost entirely of Ted and me punching each other in the shoulders with increasing force. This is fine with me; after two weeks. I'm sick of talking about my book. As I'm leaving the studio, I meet Ted's next in-studio guest, a puppy named June Bug, who is the 'Pet of the Week. It's a shame that I dido 't stay to watch the interview, because as I later learned, June Bug urinated on the woman from the Animal Humane Association. Albuquerque: Where The News Never Stops. Here are some other book-tour highlights: WASHINGTON, D.C.: I appear on a TV talk show devoted to the issue of how bad TV talk shows are. One guest is a college professor who is billed as a talk-show authority and who sounds exactly like Joan Rivers. She watches talk shows constantly and has written a book about how bad they are; she has discussed this on Oprah. Appearing with her is a woman who, as I understand it, was involved in some kind of romantic affair, which she talked about on a bunch of talk shows; now she is on this talk show to talk about how she wants to put this painful episode behind her and wishes people would stop talking about her private life on talk shows. The talk- show hosts and the talk -show audience all agree heartily that talk shows are very bad. I feel like a total sleazeball for . being on one.

LOS ANGELES: I'm on a morning TV news show featuring roughly 17 perky anchor persons. who take turns discussing new s stO: ries ranging in signiticance all the way from Mel Gibson to Heather Locklear. Also there's a lengthy remote interview with - I swear - a sea lion named Clyde, who· barks relentlessly into the interviewer's microphone, making the same noise over and over, reminding me very much of myself on a book tour, except that Clyde has a certain dignity. At anothu point, the Traffic Correspondent, a. scarily perky woman up in a helicopter, holds a Bullwink,le the Moose doll up to the camera and refuses to give a traffic· report until one of the anchor persons imitates.

Barack Obama unnounced his bid for president Saturday, a black man evoking Abraham Lincoln's ability to unite a nation and a Democrat portraying himself as a fresh face capable of leading a new generation. "Let us transform this nation," he told thousands shivering in the cold at the campaign's kickoff. Obama, 45, is the youngest candidate in the Democrats' 2008 primary field dominated by frontrunner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and filled with more experienced lawmakers. In an address from the state capital where he began his elective career 10 years ago, the fi rst-term U.S . senat0r sought to distinguish himself as a staunch opponent of the Iraq war and a White House hopeful whose lack of political experience is an asset. "I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change," Obama said to some of the loudest applause of his 20minute speech. Obama is lookin~ to cap his remarkable , raptd ri se to· prominence wtth the biggest political prize of all - the presidency. His elective career began just I0 years ago in the Illinois Legislature. He . lost a bid for a U.S. House seat, then won the Senate seat in 2004, a relatively smooth election made easier by GOP stumbles. In his speech, Obama did not mention his roots as the son of a man from Kenya and a woman from Kansas, his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia or the history he would make if elected, That compelling biography has turned him into a political celebrity. Instead, he focused on his life in Illinois over the past AP photo U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., waves to supporters as he arrives to announce his candidacy for president of the United States at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill .. Saturday. two decades, beginning with a job as a community organizer with a $13,000-ayear salary that strength · ened his Chri stian faith. He said the struggles he saw people face inspired him to get a law degree and run for the Legislature, where he served eight years . He tied his announcement to the legacy of Lincoln. announcing from the building where the future 16th president served in the state Legislature. "We can build a more hopeful America. And that is why, in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a house divided to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America," Obama said. His voice rose to a sho~t as he spoke over the checra from thou1ands who braved temperatures in the teens. "I know it's a little chilly, but I'm fired up," Obama said as he took the podium with his wife Miche lle and daughters Mal ia, 8, and Sasha, 5, with U2's "City of Blinding Lights" blaring on the speakers. Local authorities estimated the crowd at between 15,000 and 17,000. Obama gained national recognition with the publication of two best- selling books, "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," and by delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 - the same year he was elected to the Senate. His optimistic message and personal story immediately sparked talk of his White House potential. "He's young and he 's fresh," said 22-year-old Rachel Holtz, a graduate student from DeKalb, Ill.. Organ removal before brain death taking hold in Ohio CLEVELAND (AP) Ohio hospitals have quietly begun heeding national calls for removing o1ans from people who have atal brain injuries when their hearts stop but before they are brain dead. One of the last holdouts was Cuyahoga County, where Prosecutor Bill Mason for years had blocked the procedure - at one point threatening homicide charges if doctors used it. But in August, he issued a legal opinion stating that the organ removal process can begin after both the heartbeat and breathing stop and can't be restored . "We're really excited about it. We' re probably the only major city in the United States that has not allowed this to happen," said Gordon Bowen, Executive director of LifeBanc, the organ pro- curement a~ency for 20 northeast Ohio counties. ' Most organs are removed for donation only after the br.1in ceases all activity. But that applies to less than 2 percent of all deaths, according to LifeBanc. Organ removals after the hean can't be restarted have become more common nationwide, and bioethics experts say if done properly they can help address the shortage of organs for transplant without endangering donors. Last year. the national group that accredits hospitals started requiring that hospitals develop protocols for the procedure. There were 366 such organ donors in 2004, up from II a decade earlier. reported the President' s Council on Bioethics. which last year called for "a morally responsible expansion of this practice" and is set to meet again thi s month. LifeBanc's fust donation after cardiac death was in December 2005 at Akron ·City Hospital, from a 27 · year-old car crash victim, according to the northeast Ohio chapter of the International Transplant Nurses Society. Three such donations took place last year in Akron, LifeBanc spokesman Chuck Heald said. Mason said he endorsed LifeBanc 's new protocol because it no longer called for a blood-thinning drug that can preserve the organs but might hasten death. About 2,500 Ohioans and about 100,000 people nationwide are on waiting lists for organ transplants. who plans to work in edu cation . Brenda and Michael Talkington, "ho live near Muncie.

But he satd the first priority must be tn end the war in Iraq . "American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the hean of someone else's civil war." he said. He noted that he was against the invasion from the start. Obama talked how previous generations have brought change - fighting oil colonizers, slavery and the Great Depression, wel coming immigrants, building railroads and landing a man on the mnon. "Each and every time, a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done," he said. "Today we arc called once more and it is time for our generation to answer that call." The Old State Capitol was where Lincoln launched his unsuccessful 1858 U.S. Senate campaign against Stephen Douglas with hi s famous "House Divided" speech. During his presidential campaign in 1860, Lincoln used rooms in the second floor as hi s political headquarters, and his body lay in state there in 1865.

Democrat Jennifer Brunner has delivered a daily litany of discoveries at the sec retary of state's office: backlogged tax mailings, $80,000 in lith-hour bonuses awarded to key Blackwell staffers. missing tramition documents and heaps of shredded paper. Her charges have replaced controversy that. in Blackwell's day, centered on polling place orders and charges of partisan politics in the close 2004 election that returned President Bush to oftice. Though Brunner can't point to any illegality, her charges have begun to bring other state agencies into the fray, including the tax department, unemployment office and state auditor. In one case, the tax department has taken responsibility for an error Brunner initially blamed on Blackwell. Brunner is now asking for an audit of her office's books, a need questioned by the Blackwell administration and the state's Republican auditor. She has also ordered voting machines retested statewide and has pleoged to settle many. of the luwsuits filed against her predecess<•r. a favorite target of election activists, as if to lay bare the Blackwell years and start anew. "I don 't want to assume the worst; I would like to assume the best ," Brunner said . " But it's just like you went out and leased a car. You would certainly look it over to see what dents and dings were in it, so you knew. what you had when you got it .• Blackwell, who lost the race for governor last fall, was in Washington this week and a spokesman said he was unavailable to comment. Brunner's critics accuse her of capitalizing on the disdain many in her party held for Blackwell over his role in the 2004 presidential election to draw attention to herself. Monty Lobb, Blackwell's forrner chief of staff, said there is no other explanation for her actions. He says the bonuses were not inappropriate, the tax mailings not Improperly stalled , and no paper nefariously shredded. ''We weren't perfect," he said . "But we took great pride in wanting to leave the office in far better shape than we found it, and that mcluded making a seamles.~ transition . With all of this going on, I'm beginning to wonder if she's capable of getting out of this spin cycle and moving on to the next level." Brunner was one of four Democrats who wrested a state office la~t fall from a scandal-marred Republican Party that had controlled mu~·h of state government for 16 years. None of the others encountered visible problems in their transitions . She defends her attacks on Blackwell , which also peppered her campaign. saying she owes frankn e" to those who elected her. "If we want people to trust their government and to trust the process and, in this case, to trust their elections in the state, one of the first things we have to show is that we're accountable and to show that we have nothing to hide," she said. Blackwell, an ambitious and charismatic ex-football player, was outspoken in his political positions while in the office and forceful in his actions. He issued often controversial orders to county election boards and presided over a conversion to electronic voting that made many voters nervous. He drew particular ire among backers of Democrat PageA6 Sunday,Februarytt,2007 John Kerry 's presidential run, in part because of his honorary status on Bush's re -election committee and his work on an anti-gay marriage amendment de'i '~ned to turn out the conservatives who ultimately sealed Bush's victory. Because he is a Republican, Blackwell also suffered by association when Walden O'Dell, then chie£ executive of Ohiobased voting machine maker Diebold Inc., famously pledged to help deliver the state's electoral votes to the president. Diebold was among the voting machine compani~ Black well was negotiating with at the time. "He's an icon at this point," said Catherine Turcer, an elections specialist at Ohio Citizen Action. "Ken Blackwell is more than just a pe·r5on, he's a SY,mbol of elections run amok. ' Task force plan calls for wind turbines on Lake Erie CLEVELAND (AP) - A tory issues .

Democrat Jennifer Brunner has delivered a daily litany of discoveries at the sec retary of state's office: backlogged tax mailings, $80,000 in lith-hour bonuses awarded to key Blackwell staffers. missing tramition documents and heaps of shredded paper. Her charges have replaced controversy that. in Blackwell's day, centered on polling place orders and charges of partisan politics in the close 2004 election that returned President Bush to oftice. Though Brunner can't point to any illegality, her charges have begun to bring other state agencies into the fray, including the tax department, unemployment office and state auditor. In one case, the tax department has taken responsibility for an error Brunner initially blamed on Blackwell. Brunner is now asking for an audit of her office's books, a need questioned by the Blackwell administration and the state's Republican auditor. She has also ordered voting machines retested statewide and has pleoged to settle many. of the luwsuits filed against her predecess<•r. a favorite target of election activists, as if to lay bare the Blackwell years and start anew. "I don 't want to assume the worst; I would like to assume the best ," Brunner said . " But it's just like you went out and leased a car. You would certainly look it over to see what dents and dings were in it, so you knew. what you had when you got it .• Blackwell, who lost the race for governor last fall, was in Washington this week and a spokesman said he was unavailable to comment. Brunner's critics accuse her of capitalizing on the disdain many in her party held for Blackwell over his role in the 2004 presidential election to draw attention to herself. Monty Lobb, Blackwell's forrner chief of staff, said there is no other explanation for her actions. He says the bonuses were not inappropriate, the tax mailings not Improperly stalled , and no paper nefariously shredded. ''We weren't perfect," he said . "But we took great pride in wanting to leave the office in far better shape than we found it, and that mcluded making a seamles.~ transition . With all of this going on, I'm beginning to wonder if she's capable of getting out of this spin cycle and moving on to the next level." Brunner was one of four Democrats who wrested a state office la~t fall from a scandal-marred Republican Party that had controlled mu~·h of state government for 16 years. None of the others encountered visible problems in their transitions . She defends her attacks on Blackwell , which also peppered her campaign. saying she owes frankn e" to those who elected her. "If we want people to trust their government and to trust the process and, in this case, to trust their elections in the state, one of the first things we have to show is that we're accountable and to show that we have nothing to hide," she said. Blackwell, an ambitious and charismatic ex-football player, was outspoken in his political positions while in the office and forceful in his actions. He issued often controversial orders to county election boards and presided over a conversion to electronic voting that made many voters nervous. He drew particular ire among backers of Democrat PageA6 Sunday,Februarytt,2007 John Kerry 's presidential run, in part because of his honorary status on Bush's re -election committee and his work on an anti-gay marriage amendment de'i '~ned to turn out the conservatives who ultimately sealed Bush's victory. Because he is a Republican, Blackwell also suffered by association when Walden O'Dell, then chie£ executive of Ohiobased voting machine maker Diebold Inc., famously pledged to help deliver the state's electoral votes to the president. Diebold was among the voting machine compani~ Black well was negotiating with at the time. "He's an icon at this point," said Catherine Turcer, an elections specialist at Ohio Citizen Action. "Ken Blackwell is more than just a pe·r5on, he's a SY,mbol of elections run amok. ' Task force plan calls for wind turbines on Lake Erie CLEVELAND (AP) - A tory issues .

W.Va. - Ohio Valley Christian scored five points inside the · tinal 24 sc~onds to rally and dere·at host Gmce Christian 74-71 in a boy' high school basketball game on Friday. Coach Chris Burnett\ Defenders !railed 71-69 inside the final half minute' before coming back to avenge a painful loss from earlier in the year. Grace won by 19 point s in Gallipolis in January. OVCS big man Drew Scouten made a layup wilh 24 seconds to play that evened the score at 71 apiece. On the ensuing Grace possession, intense defense caused an over-andback and gave the ball back to the Defenders with i 2 ticks remaining . OVCS 's Zach Carr was fouled and sJi!lit the pair of free throws to make it 71-70. then Scouten was able to steal the inbounds pass and he was also fouled. Scouten made both freebies to make it 74-71 with six seconds left. Grace tried one last desperation heave from threequarters of the court a":ay, ·but it was well off the mark. The win improved the saw lls overall mark dip W 7-10. Brandl>IJ Coughenour Scouten Congh~nour Gra,·e led almost the entire way. holding leads of 14-10. 13-26 and 53-50 at the quarter break>. It wasn't until the fourth 4uarter that OVCS was able to grab its first lead at 67-65 . Grace came back to re-daim it. but it was OVCS that took it back when it mattered most. OVCS began its tourney trail Saturday night when Teays Valley Christian came to the Old French City. The Defenders finish their regular season Monday at Cross Lanes Christian in a makeup game. ROCK SPRI NGS - As the saying goes - "time llies." II seems like only yesterday that !he Maroon and Gold Lady Marauders of coach Ron Loga n posted the school' s best-ever varsity record (26-1) and nearl y made it to 'The Barn" in Ohio Slate's St. John's arena for the 1987 Girls' Class AAA basketball championships Next week marks !he 20th anniversary of the regular season finale which coach Logan 's club masterfully completed with a perfect 20-0 mark . Much has changed >ince 1987. During that nme each club had to play at lea't two sectional games, and two or three di~trict games to make it to the Sweet 16. Meigs also found itself playing much larger (population) schools. including the highly touted Akron Hobron squad - a former state champion with long Iines of tradition. Today, because of the break-down of four divisions instead of three. schools play a maximum of two games at each level - sectional, district, regional. and state. To some, that means the competition is "watered down" from the levels existing in 1987, making the Marauder run for the ~;old that year even more admuable. Besides a perfect regular season, Meigs was sectional chan1pion. dtstrict champion, and regional runner-up, coming up just five points shy of a state tournament berth. Meigs blitzed Sheridan 53-38 for the district championship. and, then knocked off the highly touted Akron Hoban team 39-34 for a shot at Wellsville and the Regional title. Wellsville defeated Meigs 57-53 after Meigs got in foul trouble during the second half. Wellsville's Vicki Pulley went on to the Ohio State University for a career with the Buckeyes. ln a th.t-ee-year span. Meigs went 65-8 overall. Meigs went 20-2 (84-85) and was the Tri-Valley Conference Champion. then 19-15 (85R6) claiming sectional and district chrunpionships, and then 26-1 during its banner 1986-87 campaign. That year Meigs was ranked fourth in the state in Class AAA. The four seniors were part of all three successful campaigns. --a'"'""""". . . . .

Coach Chris Burnett\ Defenders !railed 71-69 inside the final half minute' before coming back to avenge a painful loss from earlier in the year. Grace won by 19 point s in Gallipolis in January. OVCS big man Drew Scouten made a layup wilh 24 seconds to play that evened the score at 71 apiece. On the ensuing Grace possession, intense defense caused an over-andback and gave the ball back to the Defenders with i 2 ticks remaining . OVCS 's Zach Carr was fouled and sJi!lit the pair of free throws to make it 71-70. then Scouten was able to steal the inbounds pass and he was also fouled. Scouten made both freebies to make it 74-71 with six seconds left. Grace tried one last desperation heave from threequarters of the court a":ay, ·but it was well off the mark.

ROCK SPRI NGS - As the saying goes - "time llies." II seems like only yesterday that !he Maroon and Gold Lady Marauders of coach Ron Loga n posted the school' s best-ever varsity record (26-1) and nearl y made it to 'The Barn" in Ohio Slate's St. John's arena for the 1987 Girls' Class AAA basketball championships Next week marks !he 20th anniversary of the regular season finale which coach Logan 's club masterfully completed with a perfect 20-0 mark . Much has changed >ince 1987. During that nme each club had to play at lea't two sectional games, and two or three di~trict games to make it to the Sweet 16. Meigs also found itself playing much larger (population) schools. including the highly touted Akron Hobron squad - a former state champion with long Iines of tradition. Today, because of the break-down of four divisions instead of three. schools play a maximum of two games at each level - sectional, district, regional. and state. To some, that means the competition is "watered down" from the levels existing in 1987, making the Marauder run for the ~;old that year even more admuable. Besides a perfect regular season, Meigs was sectional chan1pion. dtstrict champion, and regional runner-up, coming up just five points shy of a state tournament berth. Meigs blitzed Sheridan 53-38 for the district championship. and, then knocked off the highly touted Akron Hoban team 39-34 for a shot at Wellsville and the Regional title. Wellsville defeated Meigs 57-53 after Meigs got in foul trouble during the second half. Wellsville's Vicki Pulley went on to the Ohio State University for a career with the Buckeyes. ln a th.t-ee-year span. Meigs went 65-8 overall. Meigs went 20-2 (84-85) and was the Tri-Valley Conference Champion. then 19-15 (85R6) claiming sectional and district chrunpionships, and then 26-1 during its banner 1986-87 campaign.

"I would like to thank the players, coaches and adminIstration for making the season a success," Childs said of the team.

Pearson, for the second time this season. provided the White Falcon cagers with the game deciding drama as Coach James Toth's Bend Area squad improved to 13-5 on the season. Earlier in the year, the 6-foot-3 junior drew a charging foul in the games final seconds to enable Wahama to escape with a home triumph over visiting Meigs. ' "Keith (Pearson) had a real coming out party for us tonight in leading us to the victory." an obviously pleased Falcon coach James Toth said following the win. "He is a diligent worker in practice and I was delighted to see it ,pay off for him this evemng. Pearson led the Mason . .am in scoring with a team high 17 points with Brenton Clark netting 15 points , Jordan Smith 13 and Casey Harri son moe . T h e Hillbillie s, Clark for the second time on the 2006-07 hardcourt campaign, allowed the White Falcons to construct a sizable first half advantage before mounting a second half charge in a bid for the win. In dropping its second contest of the year to the White Falcons, Man saw its record dip to 4-11 on the season. Clark scored all 15 of his points in the first half as Wahama raced out to an IS11 edge after the first eight minutes and a 36-23 halftime lead. The senior forward failed to score during the final 16 minutes, but fortunately for the locals, Pearson and Smith picked up their game on the offensive end. VVhen the two teams met back in December, Man fell bepind by as many as 20 points at one juncture. In that outing, the Hillbillies staged a furious second half rally to nearly pvertake the Bend Area cagers and Friday night looked to become a repeat of that performance. Man began its comeback effort with the opening of second half action as the hosts put up 20 points on the board during third period play to cut the once double digit deficit to just three points at 46-43. The Hillbillies continued its steady climb and gained its only lead of the evening at 62-61 in the games final minute. > Wahama went to the free throw line during the final seconds, but misfired on both attempts of a two shot foul. Pearson went high in the air to secure the rebound and promptly put the ball back into the basket with six seconds remaining to give the White Falcons the thrilling one point 63-62 tri· umph. "'I was really concerned about how we would per- form since we had about four hours of practice over the past several days due to the weather conditions," Toth stated. "We built a nice lead, but as has been our fate throughout the year, we couldn 't put them away and had to fight at the end to earn the victory. We received some quality minutes off the bench from Gabe Roush, Josh Pauley and Ju stin Arnold which played a huge role in our effort tonight." Man was led offensively by Brundon Duncan and Scott Earnest who shared game high scoring honors with 19 points apiece. The preliminary contest was also a tightly fought affair with a little different results as the Falcon junior varsity led the entire way before a three point goal with two seconds to play by Man gave the Hillbillies a 62-60 come-from-behind win. The setback squandered a 23 point outing by Brandon Flowers as the Falcon reserve team fell to S-6 on the season.

Mickelson can't wait to keep going PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Phil Mickelson is so happy with his game that he wants to keep playing. His original plan at the stan uf the year was to play four straight tournaments, all of which he has won in the past, take a week off from the · Nissan Open at Riviera, then finish off the West Coast swing at the Accenture Match Play Championship. But after two rounds in the Pebble Beach National ProAm that left him atop the leaderboard with Jim Furyk, Mickelson signed up for Riviera next week. "I'm starting to play well, so I want to play a httle btt more," Mickelson said after catching a good break in the windy weather and making the most of it with a 5-under 67 at Pebble Beach. " I want to try to get into contention a couple more time_s because I wasn't m contention !lie frrst three weeks. Also. I'm real excited about how I'm driving the ball. and Riviera is a co1irse 1ou have to drive the ball at.' . Riviera can wait. · Up next for the Masters ehampion is two more rounds iln the Monterey. Peninsula, at Spyglass Hill on Saturday, then the final round at Pebble Beach on Sunday. Mickelson is a two-time of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro- Am, and although Furyk is highestranked player (No. 2) m the field, all eyes are on Lefty. · He continued to make big strides FridaY. on a cold, wet ~ but luckily for him, not windy - day at Pebble Beach. He made three straight birdies on the back nine, none of them closer than 10 feet, then ftnished off his round with an up-and-down for ':!irdie on the 18th that allowed him to catch Furyk at 12-under 132. Furyk was at Poppy Hills, took advantage of the five par 5s and shot 65. winner ALEXANDeR 51, MilOS 35 Meigs 5 10 8 12 35 .

Amy Borr 2007 That gave the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am a good 1-2 punch at the top from the two highest-ranked players in the field. Furyk (No. 2) and Mickelson (No. 6) had a three-shot lead over rookie John Mallinger and Kevin Sutherland, who turned in the best round of the dreary afiernoon by tiring off I 0 birdies for a 63 at Spyglass Hill. Sutherland thought briefly about the course record of 62 at Spyglass, just long enough to snap-hook his 3-wood into the trees and out of play on the par-5 seventft. He reloaded with a · two-stroke penalty, reached the green in two, escaped with a bogey and didn't let one bad hole take away from his round. "Spyglass is one of mr, favorite courses in the world, ' said Sutherland, who has played it countless times datmg to his amateur days in Northern California. "I'd rather play there than Pebble Beach. But a 63 was not the score I was thinking about when I teed off." What couldn't escape his attention late in the afternoon was seeing Mickelson and· Furyk abead of him. "I'm very much aware I need to make a lot more birdies," Sutherland said with a smile. Davis Love mmade a quiet climb into contention w1th a 67 at Pebble Beach, but perhaps the biggest surprise came from the gn>up bebind Mickelson - 57-year-old Tom Watson, playmg this tournament for tlte last time. Watson asked to play with his son, Michael, and the old man showed he still has a few tricks. He birdied three of his ftrst four holes, and showed that he wasn't out for a few I<IUghs after slapping his thigh in disgust when he missed birdie putts insi\le 8 feet on the sixth and seventh hole~. He also made birdie on the par-.3 17th, but not with a chip from behind the green, as he did in 1982 when he won the U.S. Open. The flag was on the other side of the green, and Watson only had to make a 15-foot birdie putt. It led to a 68, leaving him six shots behind at 6-under 138. . "He's playing great," Mickelson said. "I saw him birdie 17, which was nice ." This toumament still won't come into clear view until after Saturday, when everyone completes the threecourse rotation. Mickelson heads to Spyglass Hill, where he opened with a 62 two years ago on his way to a wire-towire victory. Furyk takes on Pebble Beach, and he can only hope the wind stays away for one more day. Pebble is a beast when the wind blows, a pushover when it doesn't. Sutherland gets Poppy Hills, but he pays so ltttle attention to these matters that his only concern is getting on the right shuttle. . "Is Poppy n01oriouslr, the easiest of the three? ' he asked. That's usually the case. although without the wind, Pebble was.tbe place to be on Friday. It was the only course in the rotation that played under par (71.66), and Mickelson did his best to take advantage. Strangely enough, Mickelson was practically begging for wind at Pebble. He wanted a stem test, figuring the wind would let him see just how weU he was hit· ling the ball, especially off the tee. Instead, it was relatively calm for all but' the final four holes. What a shame. "I wasn't disappointed, actually," Mickelson said with a grin. "No, it was a good day. We got a pretty good draw there. We had a great day to take advantage of the scoring."

Pearson, for the second time this season. provided the White Falcon cagers with the game deciding drama as Coach James Toth's Bend Area squad improved to 13-5 on the season. Earlier in the year, the 6-foot-3 junior drew a charging foul in the games final seconds to enable Wahama to escape with a home triumph over visiting Meigs. ' "Keith (Pearson) had a real coming out party for us tonight in leading us to the victory." an obviously pleased Falcon coach James Toth said following the win. "He is a diligent worker in practice and I was delighted to see it ,pay off for him this evemng. Pearson led the Mason . .am in scoring with a team high 17 points with Brenton Clark netting 15 points , Jordan Smith 13 and Casey Harri son moe . T h e Hillbillie s, Clark for the second time on the 2006-07 hardcourt campaign, allowed the White Falcons to construct a sizable first half advantage before mounting a second half charge in a bid for the win. In dropping its second contest of the year to the White Falcons, Man saw its record dip to 4-11 on the season. Clark scored all 15 of his points in the first half as Wahama raced out to an IS11 edge after the first eight minutes and a 36-23 halftime lead. The senior forward failed to score during the final 16 minutes, but fortunately for the locals, Pearson and Smith picked up their game on the offensive end. VVhen the two teams met back in December, Man fell bepind by as many as 20 points at one juncture. In that outing, the Hillbillies staged a furious second half rally to nearly pvertake the Bend Area cagers and Friday night looked to become a repeat of that performance. Man began its comeback effort with the opening of second half action as the hosts put up 20 points on the board during third period play to cut the once double digit deficit to just three points at 46-43. The Hillbillies continued its steady climb and gained its only lead of the evening at 62-61 in the games final minute. > Wahama went to the free throw line during the final seconds, but misfired on both attempts of a two shot foul. Pearson went high in the air to secure the rebound and promptly put the ball back into the basket with six seconds remaining to give the White Falcons the thrilling one point 63-62 tri· umph. "'I was really concerned about how we would per- form since we had about four hours of practice over the past several days due to the weather conditions," Toth stated. "We built a nice lead, but as has been our fate throughout the year, we couldn 't put them away and had to fight at the end to earn the victory. We received some quality minutes off the bench from Gabe Roush, Josh Pauley and Ju stin Arnold which played a huge role in our effort tonight." Man was led offensively by Brundon Duncan and Scott Earnest who shared game high scoring honors with 19 points apiece. The preliminary contest was also a tightly fought affair with a little different results as the Falcon junior varsity led the entire way before a three point goal with two seconds to play by Man gave the Hillbillies a 62-60 come-from-behind win. The setback squandered a 23 point outing by Brandon Flowers as the Falcon reserve team fell to S-6 on the season.

" I want to try to get into contention a couple more time_s because I wasn't m contention !lie frrst three weeks. Also. I'm real excited about how I'm driving the ball. and Riviera is a co1irse 1ou have to drive the ball at.' . Riviera can wait. · Up next for the Masters ehampion is two more rounds iln the Monterey. Peninsula, at Spyglass Hill on Saturday, then the final round at Pebble Beach on Sunday. Mickelson is a two-time of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro- Am, and although Furyk is highestranked player (No. 2) m the field, all eyes are on Lefty. · He continued to make big strides FridaY. on a cold, wet ~ but luckily for him, not windy - day at Pebble Beach. He made three straight birdies on the back nine, none of them closer than 10 feet, then ftnished off his round with an up-and-down for ':!irdie on the 18th that allowed him to catch Furyk at 12-under 132. Furyk was at Poppy Hills, took advantage of the five par 5s and shot 65. winner ALEXANDeR 51, MilOS 35 Meigs 5 10 8 12 35 .

Amy Borr 2007 That gave the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am a good 1-2 punch at the top from the two highest-ranked players in the field. Furyk (No. 2) and Mickelson (No. 6) had a three-shot lead over rookie John Mallinger and Kevin Sutherland, who turned in the best round of the dreary afiernoon by tiring off I 0 birdies for a 63 at Spyglass Hill. Sutherland thought briefly about the course record of 62 at Spyglass, just long enough to snap-hook his 3-wood into the trees and out of play on the par-5 seventft. He reloaded with a · two-stroke penalty, reached the green in two, escaped with a bogey and didn't let one bad hole take away from his round. "Spyglass is one of mr, favorite courses in the world, ' said Sutherland, who has played it countless times datmg to his amateur days in Northern California. "I'd rather play there than Pebble Beach. But a 63 was not the score I was thinking about when I teed off." What couldn't escape his attention late in the afternoon was seeing Mickelson and· Furyk abead of him. "I'm very much aware I need to make a lot more birdies," Sutherland said with a smile. Davis Love mmade a quiet climb into contention w1th a 67 at Pebble Beach, but perhaps the biggest surprise came from the gn>up bebind Mickelson - 57-year-old Tom Watson, playmg this tournament for tlte last time. Watson asked to play with his son, Michael, and the old man showed he still has a few tricks. He birdied three of his ftrst four holes, and showed that he wasn't out for a few I<IUghs after slapping his thigh in disgust when he missed birdie putts insi\le 8 feet on the sixth and seventh hole~. He also made birdie on the par-.3 17th, but not with a chip from behind the green, as he did in 1982 when he won the U.S. Open. The flag was on the other side of the green, and Watson only had to make a 15-foot birdie putt. It led to a 68, leaving him six shots behind at 6-under 138. . "He's playing great," Mickelson said. "I saw him birdie 17, which was nice ." This toumament still won't come into clear view until after Saturday, when everyone completes the threecourse rotation. Mickelson heads to Spyglass Hill, where he opened with a 62 two years ago on his way to a wire-towire victory. Furyk takes on Pebble Beach, and he can only hope the wind stays away for one more day. Pebble is a beast when the wind blows, a pushover when it doesn't. Sutherland gets Poppy Hills, but he pays so ltttle attention to these matters that his only concern is getting on the right shuttle. . "Is Poppy n01oriouslr, the easiest of the three? ' he asked. That's usually the case. although without the wind, Pebble was.tbe place to be on Friday. It was the only course in the rotation that played under par (71.66), and Mickelson did his best to take advantage. Strangely enough, Mickelson was practically begging for wind at Pebble. He wanted a stem test, figuring the wind would let him see just how weU he was hit· ling the ball, especially off the tee. Instead, it was relatively calm for all but' the final four holes. What a shame. "I wasn't disappointed, actually," Mickelson said with a grin. "No, it was a good day. We got a pretty good draw there. We had a great day to take advantage of the scoring."

For Lakin Hospital, its past has never really gone away though some might argue it has become forgotten. Founded by an act of the West Virginia Legi slature in 1919, Lakin Hospital opened its doors on Feb. I, 1926 with a purpose of, "the reception and treatment of blacks suffering from mental and nervous disorders ." The hospital, then named the "L¥in State Hospital for the Colored Insane," served patients from across the state. Although the institution's original name reflected the era of segregation it was a nontraditional reflection with an all black staff, including administrators, and was one of what is believed to be only two all black mental health faciltties east of the Mississippi River. Larry Moore of Mason, W.Va. served as a social worker at Lakin from the late 1960's until2004 and be<:ame not only an employee but historical advocate for the facility. Moore described Lakin's begin· nings as unique, explaining, "At a time when the vast majority of psychiatric care for black Americans was markedly substandard, Lakin seems to have been a serious attempt to accomplish the 'equal' portion of the 'separate but equal' doctrine. 'Care' in most other settings consisted of minimal service in inadequate facilities by white staff who were often highly pre/"udiced." In 195 , a \hen 18-year old Edith Ross, currently of Point Pleasant, W.Va., left her home in Fayette County, W.Va. to lind a job and ended up at Lakin Hospital a~ a psychiatric aide. Edith wa~n 't just thrown into her job caring for patients and received six months ·of training, earning a salary of $90 a month which included meals. In spite of, or because of local housing being pmctically nonexistent for blacks, all employees lived on the hospital ~rounds . Before employee dormitories were built in 1952. Edith's room was just off of the patients' ward and she might wake up to lind a patient walking the halls outside her room which she laughs about now but back then it w a~ a little unsettling. "You got used to it," she laughed. "Course. it scared you to death sometimes." In 1952, male and female dormitories were built to house employees which included staff, administrators and doctors. With the employees living on the grounds, Edith said if a person was working and needed help with patients there was always someone around to do so which also meant employees technically worked 24 hours, many of those hours without pay. For all practical purposes the patients had nowhere to go but Lakin as did the staff so both made the best of their situations and coexisted. Edith said when she first arrived many patients helped maintain the hospital by cleaning the buildings and working in the laundry. "If it hadn't been for the patients that hospital would've never made it," Edith said. "The patients cleaned that place up like a hotel." Patient s also worked on Lakin's farm which not only rai sed dairy C<' W S, hogs and chickens but grew vegetables used in the hospital's cannery. At one time Lakin had its own store and post oftice as well as beautician and barber services, shoe repair, a seamstress, minister, auto shop, pharmacy, medical lab and ambulance services. So in essence Lakin was its own self-sufticient city where staff and patients didn't have to go into town because they were their own town. This picture of self-sufticien- cy contradicts stereotypes of what living in a psychiatric hospital in the 1950's might 've been like with images of patients locked away in padded room s. Edith disagrees with these images being applied to what life was like at Lakin . "We had some patients who were locked down to a point, there was just some where there wasn't any hope for them," Edith said. "But, a lot of the patients had a lot going for them.' As for those "rumors" about the hospital, Moore said, "I won't go into some of the wild and weird rumors about cages, shackles, etc ., other than to state without reserve that they were I are totally unfounded.'' Perhaps one of the darker periods at Lakin occurred not only at the hospital but across the country when the lobotomy era emerged in psychiatric facilities. In West Vtrginia the lobotomy era is said to have dawned in 1948 and continued though the mid- 1950's. Some records indicate Dr. Walter Freeman who pioneered the transorbital or "ice pick" lobotomy perfonned about 150 lobotomies on patients at Lakin during this era. The "ice pick" lobotomy involved sedating the patient with shock treatments, drawing the upper eyelid away from the eyeball. exposing the tear duct. then driving the sharp point of an ice pick through the orbital bone plate into the frontal lobe of the brain. The pick was then moved around, disconnecting the nerve fibers in the brain's frontal lobe which determine who a person is such as their personality. .Edith worked with Freeman whom slje described as a "cold" man . "He'd do one and move on , saying 'next , next' and they'd roll them in and roll them out," Edith remembers, saying she suspects he did around 70 of the procedures. in one day. Edith said lobotomies were only performed on Lakin patients where there was "'no hope ." She added she did see some improve from the procedure in a time before psychotropic drugs, allowing patients to be returned to their families, some for better, some for worse. "'Some left and never came back, some did," Edith remembered, saying she remembered two that died from the procedure . · Described as a "zealot" hy some, Freeman's life and work at state mental hospitals in West Virginia will be featured in a documentary airing this fall and produced by Ark Media, Brooklyn, N.Y. for PBS ' nationally broadcast program, "The American Experience." Kate Walker, associate producer for Ark Media, said of Lakin 's role in the documentary, "We use Lakin as an example of a hospital where Freeman frequently visited, operated, and taught the lobotomy procedure. Hospitals across the country were facing some of the same problems and challenges in caring for their patients that the staff was facing at Lakin . Because we found someone who had actually observed Freeman operate at Lakin and who was willing to share his story, we chose to develop this example." As for what she's learned from this uniquely American experience, Walker emphasized, "'What I am taking away from the experience of working on this film is our absolute need to care for every aspect of human society; however, it IS tremendously difftcult to put oneself in another person's shoes, whether today' s shoes or the shoes of someone sixty years ago. We can't exactly know what someone is thinking, nor can we assume. The best thin&we can do is listen with a~ open a mind ao; possible." ,- Above: A picture of Laki n Hospital from 1954 shows the front of Building A at lett which was also the original hospital. the Office Building for administration at center, and Building B on the right.

The Office Building (right) which housed administrative offices·but is now used for storage was built in the late-1950's . It sits in front of the Dietary Building erected in 1958 which is still in use. As it did when it first opened, changing minds is a challenge Lakin Hospital faces even now.

For Lakin Hospital, its past has never really gone away though some might argue it has become forgotten. Founded by an act of the West Virginia Legi slature in 1919, Lakin Hospital opened its doors on Feb. I, 1926 with a purpose of, "the reception and treatment of blacks suffering from mental and nervous disorders ." The hospital, then named the "L¥in State Hospital for the Colored Insane," served patients from across the state. Although the institution's original name reflected the era of segregation it was a nontraditional reflection with an all black staff, including administrators, and was one of what is believed to be only two all black mental health faciltties east of the Mississippi River. Larry Moore of Mason, W.Va. served as a social worker at Lakin from the late 1960's until2004 and be<:ame not only an employee but historical advocate for the facility. Moore described Lakin's begin· nings as unique, explaining, "At a time when the vast majority of psychiatric care for black Americans was markedly substandard, Lakin seems to have been a serious attempt to accomplish the 'equal' portion of the 'separate but equal' doctrine. 'Care' in most other settings consisted of minimal service in inadequate facilities by white staff who were often highly pre/"udiced." In 195 , a \hen 18-year old Edith Ross, currently of Point Pleasant, W.Va., left her home in Fayette County, W.Va. to lind a job and ended up at Lakin Hospital a~ a psychiatric aide. Edith wa~n 't just thrown into her job caring for patients and received six months ·of training, earning a salary of $90 a month which included meals. In spite of, or because of local housing being pmctically nonexistent for blacks, all employees lived on the hospital ~rounds . Before employee dormitories were built in 1952. Edith's room was just off of the patients' ward and she might wake up to lind a patient walking the halls outside her room which she laughs about now but back then it w a~ a little unsettling. "You got used to it," she laughed. "Course. it scared you to death sometimes." In 1952, male and female dormitories were built to house employees which included staff, administrators and doctors. With the employees living on the grounds, Edith said if a person was working and needed help with patients there was always someone around to do so which also meant employees technically worked 24 hours, many of those hours without pay. For all practical purposes the patients had nowhere to go but Lakin as did the staff so both made the best of their situations and coexisted. Edith said when she first arrived many patients helped maintain the hospital by cleaning the buildings and working in the laundry. "If it hadn't been for the patients that hospital would've never made it," Edith said. "The patients cleaned that place up like a hotel." Patient s also worked on Lakin's farm which not only rai sed dairy C<' W S, hogs and chickens but grew vegetables used in the hospital's cannery. At one time Lakin had its own store and post oftice as well as beautician and barber services, shoe repair, a seamstress, minister, auto shop, pharmacy, medical lab and ambulance services. So in essence Lakin was its own self-sufticient city where staff and patients didn't have to go into town because they were their own town. This picture of self-sufticien- cy contradicts stereotypes of what living in a psychiatric hospital in the 1950's might 've been like with images of patients locked away in padded room s. Edith disagrees with these images being applied to what life was like at Lakin . "We had some patients who were locked down to a point, there was just some where there wasn't any hope for them," Edith said. "But, a lot of the patients had a lot going for them.' As for those "rumors" about the hospital, Moore said, "I won't go into some of the wild and weird rumors about cages, shackles, etc ., other than to state without reserve that they were I are totally unfounded.'' Perhaps one of the darker periods at Lakin occurred not only at the hospital but across the country when the lobotomy era emerged in psychiatric facilities. In West Vtrginia the lobotomy era is said to have dawned in 1948 and continued though the mid- 1950's. Some records indicate Dr. Walter Freeman who pioneered the transorbital or "ice pick" lobotomy perfonned about 150 lobotomies on patients at Lakin during this era. The "ice pick" lobotomy involved sedating the patient with shock treatments, drawing the upper eyelid away from the eyeball. exposing the tear duct. then driving the sharp point of an ice pick through the orbital bone plate into the frontal lobe of the brain. The pick was then moved around, disconnecting the nerve fibers in the brain's frontal lobe which determine who a person is such as their personality. .Edith worked with Freeman whom slje described as a "cold" man . "He'd do one and move on , saying 'next , next' and they'd roll them in and roll them out," Edith remembers, saying she suspects he did around 70 of the procedures. in one day. Edith said lobotomies were only performed on Lakin patients where there was "'no hope ." She added she did see some improve from the procedure in a time before psychotropic drugs, allowing patients to be returned to their families, some for better, some for worse. "'Some left and never came back, some did," Edith remembered, saying she remembered two that died from the procedure . · Described as a "zealot" hy some, Freeman's life and work at state mental hospitals in West Virginia will be featured in a documentary airing this fall and produced by Ark Media, Brooklyn, N.Y. for PBS ' nationally broadcast program, "The American Experience." Kate Walker, associate producer for Ark Media, said of Lakin 's role in the documentary, "We use Lakin as an example of a hospital where Freeman frequently visited, operated, and taught the lobotomy procedure. Hospitals across the country were facing some of the same problems and challenges in caring for their patients that the staff was facing at Lakin . Because we found someone who had actually observed Freeman operate at Lakin and who was willing to share his story, we chose to develop this example." As for what she's learned from this uniquely American experience, Walker emphasized, "'What I am taking away from the experience of working on this film is our absolute need to care for every aspect of human society; however, it IS tremendously difftcult to put oneself in another person's shoes, whether today' s shoes or the shoes of someone sixty years ago. We can't exactly know what someone is thinking, nor can we assume. The best thin&we can do is listen with a~ open a mind ao; possible." ,- Above: A picture of Laki n Hospital from 1954 shows the front of Building A at lett which was also the original hospital. the Office Building for administration at center, and Building B on the right.

Jones there is mention of Joseph Jones and family who lived in Gallipolis off and on for several years. Joseph Jones was born as a free black in Virginia and worked as a teamster staning at age ten hauling wood to Richmond , Va., every day. At age 13 Joseph left his home and walked to the Ohio R\ ver at Point Pleasant where he took employme nt on a steamboat. After some years working on the river he married a gal from South Point, Ohio, and settled in . Gallipolis as a cooper. Jones owned his own cooper business, contracting with area flour mills to furnish barrels. After some years in the cooper business he switched to being a huckster. selling butter, eggs, chickens and fruit all over town. The author of the above book had ~uite a few interesting stones that involved the Joseph Jones family in Gallipolis during the Civil War. The author reports about Lightbum's retreat in 1862. In the fall of that year .the Confederate army took over Charleston, Va. (now West Virginia) and Lightburn 's army which had run Charleston had to retreat back to Point Pleasant and Gallipolis. Thousands of refugees came with Lightburn including many slaves who were on a flatboat. A son of Joseph Jones stated, "I was on the dray with l'om Holmes, the man who worked for my father. These people laughed, cried, and shouted for hours. I have never seen people so happy as they were, some of them would act down and kiss the ground. They were dressed fn all kinds of funny clothes, but they were clean. The home men knew nothina of their comiq, and were at sea as to slieiter and food. Finally they got together and secured the two churches until they could make permanent arrangements. They remained several days in the churches before places were found for them. They sang and rejoiced night and day, the people of the town were about as happy as they were." Homes were found among both white and black citizens. One of the women who stayed with the Jones family was simply known as Aunt Nelly: The Jones children remembered picking up stumps of cigars that Nelly would put in her pipe . The author states that during the Civil War everything was happening in Gallipolis. ''It was not a very desirable place to live." Near the Jones home was a saloon that Union soldiers, who were patients at the Union Hospital, used to visit on a regular basis. One day one of the soldiers was in the saloon and when it came time to settle up said he had no money. He was kicked out by the suloonkeeper. The soldier said he was going to the hospital to get a gun with which he would shoot at the saloonkeeper. Sure enough in time he returned. The saloonkeeper was sitting on the porch of his saloon reading the paper. The soldier rested his gun on the Jones' fence post and fired . The saloonkeeper died instantly. The soldier claimed he shot the man because he believed the saloonkeeper to be a Confederate sympathizer. ''Following this, another tragedy occurred. On the Public well Corner during a drinking and gambling night of terror the gang beat and bruised a man by the name Summers Moss, and after robbing him carried him to the river bank and threw him over for dead. He lay there for the remainder of the night. The authorities found him the next morning , and finding little life yet remaining they brought him back after takmg several bones out of his head. This was just one of the many instances of this kind around this corner. Shortly after this the white and colored boys had pitched a battle on the street. Alex Jones struck a white boy on the head with a gavel. fracturin~ his skull. This created quttc an excllemcnt. Father liad to spirit the boy awa~ and keep him in hiding upul It was cenaln that the boy would recover. These were strenuous times." The last episode was so serious that many black families left the town and stayed in the country for several days until things quieted down. The author states in the book that there was never a darker time for blacks in Gallipolis than there was at the close of the Civil War.

Unlike traditional CT S<:ans (three-dimensional) and xrays (two-dimensional), respiratory gating brin~s a founh dimension to radmtion therapy treatment by making it possible to place radiation beams precisely and track the position of tumors that move when a patient breathes. As a result. these precisely placed beams can be focused to carefully target cancer cells without harn1ing surrounding healthy tissue. Before respiratory gating, margins of anywhere from three to five centimeters were used around a tumor to ensure adequate coverage, allowing radiation beams to kill not on ly cancerous ti ssues, but surrounding healthy tissues as well.

In comparison to other regions (\f the world, Europeans use 53 gallons per day, and in many third world countries the usage rate is as low as 3-5 gallons per day. Surpri singly, the U.S. EPA data ind1cates that 1415% of the water that a home ow ner pays for is never used, as a result of leaks and inefficient use of water. A faucet that has a slow to moderate leak of one drip per second can generate approximately R10 gallons per day of unu sed water, and if the a>erage home had four lixtures leaking at this rate it would generate approximately 40 gallons per day, almost the equilivent of another person living in the home.

The Ohio Department of Health's Household Sewage Disposal Regulations use a standard of l 20 gallons per bedroom per day to calculate soil absorption requirements for leach fields, and mound systems. along with soil penneability rates and limitations for the site. Most soi Is · in Gall ia County have a severe or very severe rating as far as permeability and their capacity to support soil absorption systems. So severe that most leaching systems would require two square feet or more of absorption area to dispose of one gallon of water per day. So for a typical three bedroom home, that would be equivalent to 720 lineal feet of twelve inch wide leaching trenches to properly di spose of the waste water generated daily. , Therefore, the total area required to install a typical leach field, including the appropriate set back distances is 7.280 square feet, plus an equal amount of spac for replacement area (re 1res the total available s ace of 14,560 square feet or .335 acres. The other problem with most soils in Gallia County is the water capacity and shrink/swell capacity of the soils. The .heavy clay soils have le ss macroscopic openings in which water can pass through. These macroscopic O{'fnings also support digestive bacteria which promote further treatment and filtering of the waste water. The clay silts when saturated will swell closing these macroscopic openings, thus creating a vessel that only holds the water, and eventually causes the system to backup and sewage breakouts on the lawn . The digestive bacterial colonies will also grow and spread enough to cause a bio-mat layer formation on the interface of the soil. This bio-mat layer is a concentrated growth of bacteria that also clogs pores in the soil and prevents water absorption. This can be prevented and cured by alternating the waste flow between two separate leach fields; depriving one side of water and nutrients, thus the bacteria die and the pores in the soil and bio-mat layer re-open. There are several ways of conserving water and thus reducing water bills and potential sewage system problems : • Check for leaks on a weekly basis. • Replace washers and toilet seals as needed. · · Use a teaspoon of food coloring in the toilet tank (not the bowl) to see if there is any leakage from the tank to the bowl. • Run dishwashers and clothes washers when you have a full load rather than operating at panialloads. • Reduce the amount of time spent in the shower, and use less water in the bath tub. • Store pitchers of water for drinking in the refrigerator rather. than running tap water waiting for cold water. • As fixtures go bad, replace with high efficiency fixtures and low volume flush toilets. • Make sure down spouts, foundation drains, and floor drains are not connected to the sewage system.. • Make sure the leach field area is well drained and that storm and surface water is not running over the leach field.

Prevent sexually transmitted diseases STAFF REPORT NEWS@"AVOAILYTRIBUNE.COM ,I ( GALLIPOLIS · Sexually transmitted diseases CSTDs ) remain a ma,ior public health challenge in the United States. While substantial progress has been made in preventing. diagnosing, and treating certain STDs in recent years, CDC e>timates that 19 mi Ilion new infections occur each year, almost half of them among young people ages 15 to 24 years of age . In addition 10 the physical and psy(·hological consequences of STDs. these diseases also take a tremendous ecunomic loll. Direct medical costs associated with STDs in the United States are estimated at up to $14.1 billion annually. Many STD's are required to be reported to the local health department. Alter a case has been repurted to the local health department a registered nurse is assigned to the case and the person is contacted to assure that education, follow up, and treatment have been provided and that sexual contacts are notified. Providing education on STD's ami how to prevenl them is the first line of defense . A brief summary of em:h STD follows: • Chlamydia is the mo't commonly reported infec· tious disease in the United States. infecting about ~ million individu als each rear. Chlamydia is a bactcr.ml infct:tion afiecting the urinary and reproductive organs. If untreated it can 'lead to a serious health problem. . lt is spread througt) vagi· nal or anal sex. Symptoms :or chamydia may take up to three weeks to appear. symptoms are burning sen· sation, vaginal discharge. painful urination . and lower abdominal pain. If left untreated it can cause chronic pain and may lead to inkrtility ,,r lite- threating tubal pregnancy. When diagnosed it can be treated and cured. • Gonorrhea is also a bacteri al infection that infected women can pass to her newborn during birth. Gonorrhea lives in warm, moist places such as the l·ervix or rectum : symptoms are a yellow or bloody discharge and painful urination. In men it t:an lead to swelling of the testicles, and if left untreated it can cause infel1ility. • Syphilis enters the bloodstream and can damage vital organs. A person can be infected through sores on the gcntials, vagina. anus. or mouth of an infected person. In Stage I (I 0-90) days of infection single, painless sore appears at the site of contact. Stage 2 (6-12) weeks a rush, with swollen lymph glands, and a sore throat. Stage 3 symptoms disappear. but the bac teria may damage the heart or cause paralysis. dementia. or even death. • HPV infection leads to bumps on the genital area called Genital Wal1 s. It is highly contagious and is spread through skin contact. Sexual contact should be avoided if warts are vi sible. Growths may appear on the vagina or anus. Several warts may multiply into caulitlower-like clusters if left untreated. • Genititl Herpes is also hi ghly infectious and spread through skin contact. Symptoms appear within two weeks after the vims is transmitted. Symptoms include: painful itching , blister like sores. and flulike symptoms during the lirst outbreak. Blisters can occur on the vagina or anus. There is no cure for herpes. • Hepatitis B is a disease that aflects the liver and can turn into cancer. For example Hl'P B can cause fever. joint pain. stomach pain, yellowin!\ of the skin, dark urine. light colored stool, and skin rashes . Many people feel tired and think they have the llu . Do not share toothbrushes, razors. needles, or have sexual contact with an infected person. lt is spread through body fluids, blood, semen, and vaginal fluids . People at risk are those with many sex partners, homosexuals, people who need frequent blood products. infants who are infected by their mother, immigrants, or inmates. There are ways to protect yourself by making changes m your lifestyle, using protection and gening the vaccines. • Hepatitis C is not spread through household contact; this is only spread through contact w1th contaminated blood-or having sex with an infected person. Approllimately 12,000 people die from Hep C each year.Aids is caused by the HIV virus which destroys the body's ability to fight infection. It is spread by ~gina! fluids, blood, breast milk, or semen. lt is not spread by shaking hands, sharing a bathroom, sneezing, or hugging. Symptoms are: swollen glands, fever, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, or yeast infection oral or vaginal. You can reduce your risk of getting an STD by abstaining (not having sexual intercourse or sexual contact with anyone) or by having sex only with one uninfected partner who has sex only with you. People who have multiple panners are at higher risk of getting sexually transmitted infections. Latex condoms ("rubbers"), used properly from stan to finish each time you have sex. provide some pro~ tection. For questions or to schedule an appointment contact Patty Toler, RN.

BY JAMEI HENRY Many of you may not have realized that this week - February 8th for those of you who are counting the one-year marked anniversary of President Bush's si~ ning into effect the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005. Now, after realizing you have missed this momentous occasion, many of you are probably wondering why you would possible care. Well, sit back and buckle in as l explain to you all the reasons why thi s little-known legislative blunder c.ould have major impacts upon your life, or the lives of loved ones, for years to come. Among other things, the ORA makes the most si~nif­ icant changes to Medicaid since OBRA '93. The princi· pal changes to Medicaid include a change in the "look-back period" as well as a new methodology for detennining the stan of a penalty period created by Impermissible transfers of a Medicaid applicant's property prior to applying for Medicaid. Medicaid is a needs-based program, meaning that people will only qualify if the1r total countable resources fall beneath a certain level. In Ohio, resources may not exceed $1,500.00 for an individual or $2,250 for a couple. The government was, and is, concerned that people faced with a costly nursing home stay would simply give their children all of their assets, thus depleting their resources and qualifying for Medicaid. To prevent this result, the legislative masterminds in Congress came ur, with the "look-back period. ' The "look-back period" refers to the time period the state will consider when determining whether the Medicaid applicant had made impermissible transfers that reduced the size of his estate. For years, under prior law, the "look-back period" was 36 months for most transfers (60 months for transfers to or from a trust). This meant that, prior to the passing of the ORA. the state would only consider the prior 36 months when determining whether the applicant had impermissibly passed his property to others, which would, in turn. trigger a period of ineligibility for Medicaid. . The DRA changed the look -back period to 60 months for all transfers, eliminating any distinction based on the existence or utilization of a trust. Perhaps even more significant than the extended look- back period is the new method for determining the stan of any imposed penalty period. Under prior law, the penalty period for transfers for less than fair market value began to run in the month of the transfer. Thi s meant that an impermissihlc transfer of $25,000 on February I, 2005, assuming a nursing home cost of $5.000: would result in a penalty period of five months, ending in June 2005 . Applications for Medicaid after that date. assuming that countable resources fell below the applicable limit, would not be hampered by the transfer, since the penalty period had already expired. However, under the new rules, the DRA moves the penalty period to a later stan date. The penalty period now startS to run on the date of the transfer or the date the applicant would otherwise be entitled to receive Medicaid but for the penalty, whichever is later. What exactly does that mean for you'/ Let's look at an example. Mrs. X gives her favorite charity, the cat shelter, $50,000 on February 14, 2007. She keeps $50,000 in cash. On February 14, 2009, Mrs. X enters a private nursing home. The average cost of nursing care in the home is $5,000 per month. She pay s pri va tely for 10 months, beginning m February 2009 and ending in November 2009. She then applie' for Medicaid . Under the new, harsher rules of the DRA . the penalty period begins to run on the date she has spent down to the applic· able re sour.:e level and would thus be digibk for Medicaid. but fnr the penalty period . In thi s example, the penalty period would begin tn December 2009 .since the penalty period begins to run on the date 'he would other· wise be eligible but for the transfer and i; already in th~ nursing home . Thank" to the DRA, instead of qualifying for Medicaid at lhe time of application. 'he will not be eligible for Medicaid until October 2010.

Jones there is mention of Joseph Jones and family who lived in Gallipolis off and on for several years. Joseph Jones was born as a free black in Virginia and worked as a teamster staning at age ten hauling wood to Richmond , Va., every day. At age 13 Joseph left his home and walked to the Ohio R\ ver at Point Pleasant where he took employme nt on a steamboat. After some years working on the river he married a gal from South Point, Ohio, and settled in . Gallipolis as a cooper. Jones owned his own cooper business, contracting with area flour mills to furnish barrels. After some years in the cooper business he switched to being a huckster. selling butter, eggs, chickens and fruit all over town. The author of the above book had ~uite a few interesting stones that involved the Joseph Jones family in Gallipolis during the Civil War. The author reports about Lightbum's retreat in 1862. In the fall of that year .the Confederate army took over Charleston, Va. (now West Virginia) and Lightburn 's army which had run Charleston had to retreat back to Point Pleasant and Gallipolis. Thousands of refugees came with Lightburn including many slaves who were on a flatboat. A son of Joseph Jones stated, "I was on the dray with l'om Holmes, the man who worked for my father. These people laughed, cried, and shouted for hours. I have never seen people so happy as they were, some of them would act down and kiss the ground. They were dressed fn all kinds of funny clothes, but they were clean. The home men knew nothina of their comiq, and were at sea as to slieiter and food. Finally they got together and secured the two churches until they could make permanent arrangements. They remained several days in the churches before places were found for them. They sang and rejoiced night and day, the people of the town were about as happy as they were." Homes were found among both white and black citizens. One of the women who stayed with the Jones family was simply known as Aunt Nelly: The Jones children remembered picking up stumps of cigars that Nelly would put in her pipe . The author states that during the Civil War everything was happening in Gallipolis. ''It was not a very desirable place to live." Near the Jones home was a saloon that Union soldiers, who were patients at the Union Hospital, used to visit on a regular basis. One day one of the soldiers was in the saloon and when it came time to settle up said he had no money. He was kicked out by the suloonkeeper. The soldier said he was going to the hospital to get a gun with which he would shoot at the saloonkeeper. Sure enough in time he returned. The saloonkeeper was sitting on the porch of his saloon reading the paper. The soldier rested his gun on the Jones' fence post and fired . The saloonkeeper died instantly. The soldier claimed he shot the man because he believed the saloonkeeper to be a Confederate sympathizer. ''Following this, another tragedy occurred. On the Public well Corner during a drinking and gambling night of terror the gang beat and bruised a man by the name Summers Moss, and after robbing him carried him to the river bank and threw him over for dead. He lay there for the remainder of the night. The authorities found him the next morning , and finding little life yet remaining they brought him back after takmg several bones out of his head. This was just one of the many instances of this kind around this corner. Shortly after this the white and colored boys had pitched a battle on the street. Alex Jones struck a white boy on the head with a gavel. fracturin~ his skull. This created quttc an excllemcnt. Father liad to spirit the boy awa~ and keep him in hiding upul It was cenaln that the boy would recover. These were strenuous times." The last episode was so serious that many black families left the town and stayed in the country for several days until things quieted down. The author states in the book that there was never a darker time for blacks in Gallipolis than there was at the close of the Civil War.

Unlike traditional CT S<:ans (three-dimensional) and xrays (two-dimensional), respiratory gating brin~s a founh dimension to radmtion therapy treatment by making it possible to place radiation beams precisely and track the position of tumors that move when a patient breathes. As a result. these precisely placed beams can be focused to carefully target cancer cells without harn1ing surrounding healthy tissue. Before respiratory gating, margins of anywhere from three to five centimeters were used around a tumor to ensure adequate coverage, allowing radiation beams to kill not on ly cancerous ti ssues, but surrounding healthy tissues as well.

In comparison to other regions (\f the world, Europeans use 53 gallons per day, and in many third world countries the usage rate is as low as 3-5 gallons per day. Surpri singly, the U.S. EPA data ind1cates that 1415% of the water that a home ow ner pays for is never used, as a result of leaks and inefficient use of water. A faucet that has a slow to moderate leak of one drip per second can generate approximately R10 gallons per day of unu sed water, and if the a>erage home had four lixtures leaking at this rate it would generate approximately 40 gallons per day, almost the equilivent of another person living in the home.

The Ohio Department of Health's Household Sewage Disposal Regulations use a standard of l 20 gallons per bedroom per day to calculate soil absorption requirements for leach fields, and mound systems. along with soil penneability rates and limitations for the site. Most soi Is · in Gall ia County have a severe or very severe rating as far as permeability and their capacity to support soil absorption systems. So severe that most leaching systems would require two square feet or more of absorption area to dispose of one gallon of water per day. So for a typical three bedroom home, that would be equivalent to 720 lineal feet of twelve inch wide leaching trenches to properly di spose of the waste water generated daily. , Therefore, the total area required to install a typical leach field, including the appropriate set back distances is 7.280 square feet, plus an equal amount of spac for replacement area (re 1res the total available s ace of 14,560 square feet or .335 acres. The other problem with most soils in Gallia County is the water capacity and shrink/swell capacity of the soils. The .heavy clay soils have le ss macroscopic openings in which water can pass through. These macroscopic O{'fnings also support digestive bacteria which promote further treatment and filtering of the waste water. The clay silts when saturated will swell closing these macroscopic openings, thus creating a vessel that only holds the water, and eventually causes the system to backup and sewage breakouts on the lawn . The digestive bacterial colonies will also grow and spread enough to cause a bio-mat layer formation on the interface of the soil. This bio-mat layer is a concentrated growth of bacteria that also clogs pores in the soil and prevents water absorption. This can be prevented and cured by alternating the waste flow between two separate leach fields; depriving one side of water and nutrients, thus the bacteria die and the pores in the soil and bio-mat layer re-open. There are several ways of conserving water and thus reducing water bills and potential sewage system problems : • Check for leaks on a weekly basis. • Replace washers and toilet seals as needed. · · Use a teaspoon of food coloring in the toilet tank (not the bowl) to see if there is any leakage from the tank to the bowl. • Run dishwashers and clothes washers when you have a full load rather than operating at panialloads. • Reduce the amount of time spent in the shower, and use less water in the bath tub. • Store pitchers of water for drinking in the refrigerator rather. than running tap water waiting for cold water. • As fixtures go bad, replace with high efficiency fixtures and low volume flush toilets. • Make sure down spouts, foundation drains, and floor drains are not connected to the sewage system.. • Make sure the leach field area is well drained and that storm and surface water is not running over the leach field.

Prevent sexually transmitted diseases STAFF REPORT NEWS@"AVOAILYTRIBUNE.COM ,I ( GALLIPOLIS · Sexually transmitted diseases CSTDs ) remain a ma,ior public health challenge in the United States. While substantial progress has been made in preventing. diagnosing, and treating certain STDs in recent years, CDC e>timates that 19 mi Ilion new infections occur each year, almost half of them among young people ages 15 to 24 years of age . In addition 10 the physical and psy(·hological consequences of STDs. these diseases also take a tremendous ecunomic loll. Direct medical costs associated with STDs in the United States are estimated at up to $14.1 billion annually. Many STD's are required to be reported to the local health department. Alter a case has been repurted to the local health department a registered nurse is assigned to the case and the person is contacted to assure that education, follow up, and treatment have been provided and that sexual contacts are notified. Providing education on STD's ami how to prevenl them is the first line of defense . A brief summary of em:h STD follows: • Chlamydia is the mo't commonly reported infec· tious disease in the United States. infecting about ~ million individu als each rear. Chlamydia is a bactcr.ml infct:tion afiecting the urinary and reproductive organs. If untreated it can 'lead to a serious health problem. . lt is spread througt) vagi· nal or anal sex. Symptoms :or chamydia may take up to three weeks to appear. symptoms are burning sen· sation, vaginal discharge. painful urination . and lower abdominal pain. If left untreated it can cause chronic pain and may lead to inkrtility ,,r lite- threating tubal pregnancy. When diagnosed it can be treated and cured. • Gonorrhea is also a bacteri al infection that infected women can pass to her newborn during birth. Gonorrhea lives in warm, moist places such as the l·ervix or rectum : symptoms are a yellow or bloody discharge and painful urination. In men it t:an lead to swelling of the testicles, and if left untreated it can cause infel1ility. • Syphilis enters the bloodstream and can damage vital organs. A person can be infected through sores on the gcntials, vagina. anus. or mouth of an infected person. In Stage I (I 0-90) days of infection single, painless sore appears at the site of contact. Stage 2 (6-12) weeks a rush, with swollen lymph glands, and a sore throat. Stage 3 symptoms disappear. but the bac teria may damage the heart or cause paralysis. dementia. or even death. • HPV infection leads to bumps on the genital area called Genital Wal1 s. It is highly contagious and is spread through skin contact. Sexual contact should be avoided if warts are vi sible. Growths may appear on the vagina or anus. Several warts may multiply into caulitlower-like clusters if left untreated. • Genititl Herpes is also hi ghly infectious and spread through skin contact. Symptoms appear within two weeks after the vims is transmitted. Symptoms include: painful itching , blister like sores. and flulike symptoms during the lirst outbreak. Blisters can occur on the vagina or anus. There is no cure for herpes. • Hepatitis B is a disease that aflects the liver and can turn into cancer. For example Hl'P B can cause fever. joint pain. stomach pain, yellowin!\ of the skin, dark urine. light colored stool, and skin rashes . Many people feel tired and think they have the llu . Do not share toothbrushes, razors. needles, or have sexual contact with an infected person. lt is spread through body fluids, blood, semen, and vaginal fluids . People at risk are those with many sex partners, homosexuals, people who need frequent blood products. infants who are infected by their mother, immigrants, or inmates. There are ways to protect yourself by making changes m your lifestyle, using protection and gening the vaccines. • Hepatitis C is not spread through household contact; this is only spread through contact w1th contaminated blood-or having sex with an infected person. Approllimately 12,000 people die from Hep C each year.Aids is caused by the HIV virus which destroys the body's ability to fight infection. It is spread by ~gina! fluids, blood, breast milk, or semen. lt is not spread by shaking hands, sharing a bathroom, sneezing, or hugging. Symptoms are: swollen glands, fever, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, or yeast infection oral or vaginal. You can reduce your risk of getting an STD by abstaining (not having sexual intercourse or sexual contact with anyone) or by having sex only with one uninfected partner who has sex only with you. People who have multiple panners are at higher risk of getting sexually transmitted infections.

BY JAMEI HENRY Many of you may not have realized that this week - February 8th for those of you who are counting the one-year marked anniversary of President Bush's si~ ning into effect the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005. Now, after realizing you have missed this momentous occasion, many of you are probably wondering why you would possible care. Well, sit back and buckle in as l explain to you all the reasons why thi s little-known legislative blunder c.ould have major impacts upon your life, or the lives of loved ones, for years to come. Among other things, the ORA makes the most si~nif­ icant changes to Medicaid since OBRA '93. The princi· pal changes to Medicaid include a change in the "look-back period" as well as a new methodology for detennining the stan of a penalty period created by Impermissible transfers of a Medicaid applicant's property prior to applying for Medicaid. Medicaid is a needs-based program, meaning that people will only qualify if the1r total countable resources fall beneath a certain level. In Ohio, resources may not exceed $1,500.00 for an individual or $2,250 for a couple. The government was, and is, concerned that people faced with a costly nursing home stay would simply give their children all of their assets, thus depleting their resources and qualifying for Medicaid. To prevent this result, the legislative masterminds in Congress came ur, with the "look-back period. ' The "look-back period" refers to the time period the state will consider when determining whether the Medicaid applicant had made impermissible transfers that reduced the size of his estate. For years, under prior law, the "look-back period" was 36 months for most transfers (60 months for transfers to or from a trust). This meant that, prior to the passing of the ORA. the state would only consider the prior 36 months when determining whether the applicant had impermissibly passed his property to others, which would, in turn. trigger a period of ineligibility for Medicaid. . The DRA changed the look -back period to 60 months for all transfers, eliminating any distinction based on the existence or utilization of a trust. Perhaps even more significant than the extended look- back period is the new method for determining the stan of any imposed penalty period. Under prior law, the penalty period for transfers for less than fair market value began to run in the month of the transfer. Thi s meant that an impermissihlc transfer of $25,000 on February I, 2005, assuming a nursing home cost of $5.000: would result in a penalty period of five months, ending in June 2005 . Applications for Medicaid after that date. assuming that countable resources fell below the applicable limit, would not be hampered by the transfer, since the penalty period had already expired. However, under the new rules, the DRA moves the penalty period to a later stan date. The penalty period now startS to run on the date of the transfer or the date the applicant would otherwise be entitled to receive Medicaid but for the penalty, whichever is later. What exactly does that mean for you'/ Let's look at an example. Mrs. X gives her favorite charity, the cat shelter, $50,000 on February 14, 2007. She keeps $50,000 in cash. On February 14, 2009, Mrs. X enters a private nursing home. The average cost of nursing care in the home is $5,000 per month. She pay s pri va tely for 10 months, beginning m February 2009 and ending in November 2009. She then applie' for Medicaid . Under the new, harsher rules of the DRA . the penalty period begins to run on the date she has spent down to the applic· able re sour.:e level and would thus be digibk for Medicaid. but fnr the penalty period . In thi s example, the penalty period would begin tn December 2009 .since the penalty period begins to run on the date 'he would other· wise be eligible but for the transfer and i; already in th~ nursing home . Thank" to the DRA, instead of qualifying for Medicaid at lhe time of application. 'he will not be eligible for Medicaid until October 2010. Many of you are probably looking for the silver lining on this gloomy DRA -cloud. Well, like with most things. as one door close s anther one opens . Through a com· bined approach including annuities , irrevocable and revocable trusts, and planned gifts, a person faced with a potential nursing home stay can still protect hi s assets so that he passes something on to his loved ones. However, as before , failure to plan is planning to fail, and, in this mstance, failing to plan can be linancially devastating.

Veteran toy maker combines Sodoku and Rubik's Cube Bv JOE MIUCIA ASSOCIATED PRESS \fAlTER SEBRING - A rustedout warehouse in middle-ofnowhere northeast Ohio has become the final resting site for hundreds of large metal molds once used to make some long forgotten toys. From time to time, toy indu stry veteran Jay Horowitz uses the molds he ha~ accumulated to resurrect a toy and reintroduces it to the collectibles market, cash. ing in on its nostalgic value. But last year. in what he calls a moment of inspiration , Horowitz. merged a classic '80s toy with a recent puzzle fad . He thinks he's got a major seller on his hands with the Sudoku Cube. Horowitz is peddling his hybrid of Rubik 's Cube and the popular puzzle Sudoku to a worldwide audience at the American International Toy Fair. which run s Sunday through Tuesday in New York City. The Sudoku Cube sells for $9.87 and is more complicated than Rubik's Cube, which was solved by getting the colors to match on all six sides. Horowitz's cube challenges the player to ~ a! ign .numbers one through nine on one or more sides or in rows. The 60-year-old Horowitz has been auending the toy fair for 50 years, introduced to the business by his father and grandfather, a Russian Jewish immigrant and toy wholesaler. Horowitz became inter· ested in the business side of the indtlstry and has made a career out of ouying defunct companies, like the former industry leader Marx Toys and Ideal Toy Co. " I don't collect toy s. I collect toy companies," said Horowitz. who was raised in Queens and has the accent to prove it. · He's spent years reproducing classic toys like Gaylord the Pup. Howdy Doody and Eve( Knievel stunt cycles. Most are bought by collectors who want to recall their youth, Horowitz said. , Others still have play value, like American Cla~sic Derby, an arcade-style game where up to four players shoot metal balls to advance a horse to the finish line. "It's noisy. It's fun for boys." Horowitz . said. "You 've got to choose the ones appropriate for today's market. There's got to be a reason why it would sell." Horowitz first encountered Sudoku just last year - fairly late in its run of popularity when a woman siuing next to him on a plane explained the puzzle to him. Sudoku 's grid. which requires the numbers one through nine to be tilled into each row, column and three-by-three box without repeating a number, got him thinking about a toy mold in his warehouse, 50 miles southeast of Cleveland. "The Rubik's Cube mold - I've had them for 20 years sitting on the floor," he said. While Horowitz owns the Ideal Toy Co. molds, he doesn't own the Rubik's name, and never had a use for them. He worked feverishly to t"ind a way to combine the two, creating detailed diagrams of thr cube that look like notes Albert Einstein might have produced proving some grand theory. "\\hen I got it, I didn't sleep for three days," he said. The result is a colorful cube numbered one to nine on each side made in China by his newly formed company. American Classic Toy Inc. Retailers carrying the cube include Barnes & Noble, FAO Schwarz and backtobasicstoys.com . He's already sold thousands, but he has some competition . There are several other Sudoku cubes on the market. A search on Amaz.on.com shows two other versions , named Sudokube. Sudoku fans who feel like they've mastered the paper version of the puzzle found in most daily newspapers have shown interest in the cubed versions, said Adrienne Citrin, spokeswoman for the Toy Industry Association. "We're seeing that Sudoku and the next phase of brain teasers are becoming increasingly popular," Citrin said. "These cubes are the next level." Even in an age of video games, Citrin said puzzle games are experiencing a surge of popularity. "People feel a sense of accomplishment when they've competed the puzzle or the game. We see thi s as an increasing trend," Citrin said. Horowitz, who had just returned from a month in China signing deals to sell the cube overseas, also has introduced the Sudoku Slide - a head-to-head game in which players race to slide plastic numbers into place to solve the puzzle - and has plans for Sudoku Solitaire. After 40 years in the toy industry, he's counting on his cube to be his greatest invention . "I'm expecting to sell in the millions." he said. jAMESTOWN'S 400rn STIRS A NEW VIEW OF TilE POCAHONTAS LEGACY Bv STEVE SZKOTAK ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER RICHMOND, Va. - She has more personas than Madonna, the saintly glow of Joan of Arc and the enigmatic spell of the Mona Lisa. In her 22 years, Pocahontas left a legacy that endures in history texts, in stone relief at the U.S. CaP.itol ROIUnda and in a beguiling parable of Jamestown's settlement by commerce-minded explorers. But 400 years after America's first lasting English settlement was established in a marshy peninsula on the James River, history's version of the favored daughter of a powerful Indian leader is being looked at anew, and quite critically. Scholars say the lithe teenager often portrayed with a sexuality beyond her years was a creation of white, English males, who embellished on a daring but innocent child. Some Virginia Indians, too, are speaking out on what they say is the true story of Pocahontas, drawing from the tradition of oral histories. They say they are reclaiming a narrative that for years was written by people who had little knowledge of their culture and low regard for their generational recollections. It is more than righting history books, they say. "This is more personal," said Angela L. Daniel "Silver Star," an anthropologist who co-authored a new book, ''Tile True Story of Pocahontas: The Other Side of History," with Dr. Linwood "Ltttle Bear" Custalow. He is a member of the Mattaponi tribe, one of eight recognized tribes in Virginia. "She was part of their family." The traditional view of Pocahontas is on display at the Virginia Histoncal Society. The exhibit, which opens this weekend, comes amid an 18-month state commemoration of the four centuries since Jamestown's settlement in 1607. In paintings, prints, sculpture and gaudy popular representations, the short life of Pocahontas is presented in an almost bibhcal tableau: Pocahontas rescuing Capt. John Smith in 1607 from an execution ordered by her father, Powhatan; Pocahontas warning Smith that her father was planning again to kill him; her kidnapping by settlers; Pocahontas converting to Christianity and marrying Englishman John Rolfe; and Pocahontas dying in England in 1617. Pocahontas is shown in various forms of nudity, which was the custom for young Indian girls until puberty. But instead of deerskin aprons. also the fashion for older girls and women. she is depicted in flowing. Curator of the Virginia Historical Society, exhibit Pocahontas: Her life and Legend," William Rasmussen, poses next to a figure of Pocahontas at the Virginia Historical Society's new exhibit in Richmond, Va. Thursday. The exhibit takes a look at the traditional view of Pocahontas as well as a new view of her legacy. often diaphanous covers. Her appearance ranges from teenage sprite to the European ideal of feminine beauty. "This is what we know, and this is all we know," William M.S. Rasmussen, a curator of the exhibit, said in an interview. "And it's all the English perspective, all by men." . As for Pocahontas, he said in an e-mail, "She left us no statements as to why she did what she did." Rasmussen said the exhibit does not purport to be the only accounting of the subject's life and is intended to engage the visitor. "What I want the viewer to do is form an opinion about Pocahontas," he said. Camilla Townsend, author of "Pocahontas and Powhatan Dilemma," used a variety of sources and arrived at a sharply different view of Pocahontas and the men whose portrayal has been sustained through IRe centuries. ""Indeed, the whole narrative that is so cherished in America is pornographic in that the girl in the story has no needs, ambitions, rages or opinions of her own," Townsend wrote in an e-mail response to a series of questions. "She exists merely to adore John Smith, white men, English culture." Townsend raises many of the questions cited by other historians and Indian critics of the Pocahontas story. Smith, the settlement's raconteur, wrote in 1624 of his dramatic rescue - after the deaths of Pocahontas and many of the principals who could have corroborated his story. At best, critics argue, Smith's capture could have been a mismterpreted Indian ritual, such as an adoption ceremony. Daniel said Pocahontas would not have been at the ceremony as depicted by Smith and represented in sandstone on the Capitol _ Rotunda. ·"No children would have been allowed in that ceremony," she said. Smith, while a widely acknow !edged braggart, was generally agreed to be fearless and was much more inclined to engage the Indians than his fellow settlers. That did not extend to his purported romance with Pocahontas, a coupling promoted in director Terrence Malick's dreamy film ''The New World" and the Disney animated film that bears her name. Daniel, Townsend and other critics contend that Pocahontas played a key role in Jamestown, though perhaps not as dramatic as Smith and his fellow settlers would have us believe. The child, Daniel writes, was the embodiment of peace the Indians sought with the newcomers. As her father 's favored daughter. she often would accompany Powhatan to Jamestown fort. "Virtually, · Pocahontas became the Powhatan symbol of peace, both as a child and as an adult," Daniel wrote. Townsend argues much of the familiar Pocahontas story is simply feel-good history. "The fictional version has been resistant to change because white Americans love it so much," she wrote . Rasmussen is an unabashed fan of the unvarnished Pocahonta~ story. "Why would you want to renounce the legacy?" he asks . Still, he acknowledges the Jamestown story and its principal players are pan of history subject to who is recording it or interpreting it ''Tile story of Pocahontas has had enormous appeal .. : and the theme that runs through it is her story has been adapted to whatever agenda was on the table at the moment," Rasmussen said. Daniel's and Custalow's book underscores the different points of view. Daniel stresses the book, for instance, reflects the version of Pocahontas from the Mattaponi point of view. The Mattaponi is one of the original core tribes of the Powhatan Chiefdom. Because of discrimination against Indians and fears their version of events would be ridiculed, "we would not have considered telling the true story of Pocahontas." Mattaponi Chief Carl "Lone Eagle" Custalow writes. "The True Siory of Pocahontas" is the collected historical knowledge of tribal priests, or · "quiakros," he said, and represents the first written history of Pocahontas by her own people. "It is vastly different from the history you have been taught in school, in novels, or in movies," he states. The book and exhibit likely will not be the last word on Pocahontas.

" I don't collect toy s. I collect toy companies," said Horowitz. who was raised in Queens and has the accent to prove it. · He's spent years reproducing classic toys like Gaylord the Pup. Howdy Doody and Eve( Knievel stunt cycles. Most are bought by collectors who want to recall their youth, Horowitz said. , Others still have play value, like American Cla~sic Derby, an arcade-style game where up to four players shoot metal balls to advance a horse to the finish line. "It's noisy. It's fun for boys." Horowitz . said. "You 've got to choose the ones appropriate for today's market. There's got to be a reason why it would sell." Horowitz first encountered Sudoku just last year - fairly late in its run of popularity when a woman siuing next to him on a plane explained the puzzle to him. Sudoku 's grid. which requires the numbers one through nine to be tilled into each row, column and three-by-three box without repeating a number, got him thinking about a toy mold in his warehouse, 50 miles southeast of Cleveland. "The Rubik's Cube mold - I've had them for 20 years sitting on the floor," he said. While Horowitz owns the Ideal Toy Co. molds, he doesn't own the Rubik's name, and never had a use for them. He worked feverishly to t"ind a way to combine the two, creating detailed diagrams of thr cube that look like notes Albert Einstein might have produced proving some grand theory. "\\hen I got it, I didn't sleep for three days," he said. The result is a colorful cube numbered one to nine on each side made in China by his newly formed company. American Classic Toy Inc. Retailers carrying the cube include Barnes & Noble, FAO Schwarz and backtobasicstoys.com . He's already sold thousands, but he has some competition . There are several other Sudoku cubes on the market. A search on Amaz.on.com shows two other versions , named Sudokube. Sudoku fans who feel like they've mastered the paper version of the puzzle found in most daily newspapers have shown interest in the cubed versions, said Adrienne Citrin, spokeswoman for the Toy Industry Association. "We're seeing that Sudoku and the next phase of brain teasers are becoming increasingly popular," Citrin said. "These cubes are the next level." Even in an age of video games, Citrin said puzzle games are experiencing a surge of popularity. "People feel a sense of accomplishment when they've competed the puzzle or the game. We see thi s as an increasing trend," Citrin said. Horowitz, who had just returned from a month in China signing deals to sell the cube overseas, also has introduced the Sudoku Slide - a head-to-head game in which players race to slide plastic numbers into place to solve the puzzle - and has plans for Sudoku Solitaire. After 40 years in the toy industry, he's counting on his cube to be his greatest invention . "I'm expecting to sell in the millions." he said. jAMESTOWN'S 400rn STIRS A NEW VIEW OF TilE POCAHONTAS LEGACY Bv STEVE SZKOTAK ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER RICHMOND, Va. - She has more personas than Madonna, the saintly glow of Joan of Arc and the enigmatic spell of the Mona Lisa. In her 22 years, Pocahontas left a legacy that endures in history texts, in stone relief at the U.S. CaP.itol ROIUnda and in a beguiling parable of Jamestown's settlement by commerce-minded explorers. But 400 years after America's first lasting English settlement was established in a marshy peninsula on the James River, history's version of the favored daughter of a powerful Indian leader is being looked at anew, and quite critically. Scholars say the lithe teenager often portrayed with a sexuality beyond her years was a creation of white, English males, who embellished on a daring but innocent child. Some Virginia Indians, too, are speaking out on what they say is the true story of Pocahontas, drawing from the tradition of oral histories. They say they are reclaiming a narrative that for years was written by people who had little knowledge of their culture and low regard for their generational recollections. It is more than righting history books, they say. "This is more personal," said Angela L. Daniel "Silver Star," an anthropologist who co-authored a new book, ''Tile True Story of Pocahontas: The Other Side of History," with Dr. Linwood "Ltttle Bear" Custalow. He is a member of the Mattaponi tribe, one of eight recognized tribes in Virginia. "She was part of their family." The traditional view of Pocahontas is on display at the Virginia Histoncal Society. The exhibit, which opens this weekend, comes amid an 18-month state commemoration of the four centuries since Jamestown's settlement in 1607. In paintings, prints, sculpture and gaudy popular representations, the short life of Pocahontas is presented in an almost bibhcal tableau: Pocahontas rescuing Capt. John Smith in 1607 from an execution ordered by her father, Powhatan; Pocahontas warning Smith that her father was planning again to kill him; her kidnapping by settlers; Pocahontas converting to Christianity and marrying Englishman John Rolfe; and Pocahontas dying in England in 1617. Pocahontas is shown in various forms of nudity, which was the custom for young Indian girls until puberty. But instead of deerskin aprons. also the fashion for older girls and women. she is depicted in flowing. Curator of the Virginia Historical Society, exhibit Pocahontas: Her life and Legend," William Rasmussen, poses next to a figure of Pocahontas at the Virginia Historical Society's new exhibit in Richmond, Va. Thursday. The exhibit takes a look at the traditional view of Pocahontas as well as a new view of her legacy. often diaphanous covers. Her appearance ranges from teenage sprite to the European ideal of feminine beauty. "This is what we know, and this is all we know," William M.S. Rasmussen, a curator of the exhibit, said in an interview. "And it's all the English perspective, all by men." . As for Pocahontas, he said in an e-mail, "She left us no statements as to why she did what she did." Rasmussen said the exhibit does not purport to be the only accounting of the subject's life and is intended to engage the visitor. "What I want the viewer to do is form an opinion about Pocahontas," he said. Camilla Townsend, author of "Pocahontas and Powhatan Dilemma," used a variety of sources and arrived at a sharply different view of Pocahontas and the men whose portrayal has been sustained through IRe centuries. ""Indeed, the whole narrative that is so cherished in America is pornographic in that the girl in the story has no needs, ambitions, rages or opinions of her own," Townsend wrote in an e-mail response to a series of questions. "She exists merely to adore John Smith, white men, English culture." Townsend raises many of the questions cited by other historians and Indian critics of the Pocahontas story. Smith, the settlement's raconteur, wrote in 1624 of his dramatic rescue - after the deaths of Pocahontas and many of the principals who could have corroborated his story. At best, critics argue, Smith's capture could have been a mismterpreted Indian ritual, such as an adoption ceremony. Daniel said Pocahontas would not have been at the ceremony as depicted by Smith and represented in sandstone on the Capitol _ Rotunda. ·"No children would have been allowed in that ceremony," she said. Smith, while a widely acknow !edged braggart, was generally agreed to be fearless and was much more inclined to engage the Indians than his fellow settlers. That did not extend to his purported romance with Pocahontas, a coupling promoted in director Terrence Malick's dreamy film ''The New World" and the Disney animated film that bears her name. Daniel, Townsend and other critics contend that Pocahontas played a key role in Jamestown, though perhaps not as dramatic as Smith and his fellow settlers would have us believe. The child, Daniel writes, was the embodiment of peace the Indians sought with the newcomers. As her father 's favored daughter. she often would accompany Powhatan to Jamestown fort. "Virtually, · Pocahontas became the Powhatan symbol of peace, both as a child and as an adult," Daniel wrote. Townsend argues much of the familiar Pocahontas story is simply feel-good history. "The fictional version has been resistant to change because white Americans love it so much," she wrote . Rasmussen is an unabashed fan of the unvarnished Pocahonta~ story. "Why would you want to renounce the legacy?" he asks . Still, he acknowledges the Jamestown story and its principal players are pan of history subject to who is recording it or interpreting it ''Tile story of Pocahontas has had enormous appeal .. : and the theme that runs through it is her story has been adapted to whatever agenda was on the table at the moment," Rasmussen said. Daniel's and Custalow's book underscores the different points of view. Daniel stresses the book, for instance, reflects the version of Pocahontas from the Mattaponi point of view. The Mattaponi is one of the original core tribes of the Powhatan Chiefdom. Because of discrimination against Indians and fears their version of events would be ridiculed, "we would not have considered telling the true story of Pocahontas." Mattaponi Chief Carl "Lone Eagle" Custalow writes. "The True Siory of Pocahontas" is the collected historical knowledge of tribal priests, or · "quiakros," he said, and represents the first written history of Pocahontas by her own people. "It is vastly different from the history you have been taught in school, in novels, or in movies," he states. The book and exhibit likely will not be the last word on Pocahontas.

To start with, the character " called Sarah . Furthermore . this particular Sarah continues the tradition of winsome depravity long embraced by the humorist-actress who shares her name. During years of standup comedy. TV appearances and tilm roles, Silverman has mined laughs from 9111. AIDS. the Holocaust. rape and Martin Luther King, among other topics that most wnrics leave safely buried . Now "The Sarah Silverman Program" (premiering Thursday at 10:30 p.m . EST) gives a fresh twi st to her freewheeling wrongness in the person of a flighty . self-consumed slacker. .Sarah's response to a lengthy TV benetit for children with leukemia? She rousts herself from the couch to go buy fresh batteries for her remote ... so she can change the channel. A farting contest with her friends has an unfortunate outcome for Sarah. Subsequently granted any wish by God, she requests ... a better fart. On this week's episode. Sarah gets drunk on cough syrup and crashes her car into a playground. But not before snubbing an elderly woman at the drug store for looking old ... just moments after praising the woman's youthful appearance. This is the sort of mindbending behavior Sarah makes a practice of, inflicting whiplash on anyone who crosses her path including the audience. " I don 't think anybody 's gonna say , ·oh , she 's a good person,"' Silverman acknowledges with a smile. But the funny, often shocking thin g about Silverman's show is: You are drawn to the sharacter. however appalling. eve n as she pushes yii'u away with a rude shove. This is Silverman's specialty. After all . she is the comic who in her standup act tells the crowd. "I don ' t care if you think I'm racist. I just want you to think I'm thin ." Silverman's comedy has always been based on saying the opposite of what she feels. in the service of expming buried truths about prejudice, pettiness or s undry other wrongheaded attitudes. Then again. maybe not . ''I don't know if it's like: Hey. we're all thinking this , ani! now I'm saying it," she muses. Struggling to explain, she seems genuinely tom as to how much meaning to give what she does. She looks downright squeamish at sounding pretentious. Maybe it all comes down to a single word. a less polite version of "jerk" (and her only salty word in the whole interview). · ''I think it could be more like: I'm clearly the (jerk) in this scenario," she says, "and if it 's making you laugh , that's enough." Arriving downstairs frpm her Manhattan hotel room, Silvennan bounds into the lobby in baggy Bermudas , a short-sleeved jersey and tennis shoes. A ltny pack is on her back, her hair pulled into a ponytail. She looks like a schoolgirl ready to dash for the bus - and, wearing no makeup. little more .than half her 36 years. Settling in for this lunch chat, she asked to borrow a P~se from the reporter's pad. She needed to dispose of her gum. "Sarah's a pa!hetic person," Silvennan declare s. "Her parents are dead . ' he has nothing going on in her life . and she's rea ll y dependent on her sister." Played by real-life sister Laura Silverman, that character is, fittingly. a nurse. whose care even includes paying jobless Sarah's bills. Brian Posehn and Steve Agee as Sarah's gay -couple neighbors round out her support system . Or would they all be better described as enablers? Is Sarah some kind of tragicomic victim? A poignant subtext to the show would · suit Silverman fine. " I always am drawn to heartbreak ," she says. Oh, yeah? If this were a sce ne on her TV sbow, here's her wind-up for a verbal sucker punch . But wait, she's not kidding. " I love heartbreaking music, heartbreaking movies," she says. her bright eyes moist, "and I think there's an element of that" in her series. Having come out as, of all things, a softie, she mentions her boyfriend of 4 112 years, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel , about whom she's always "playing out a tragedy in my head ." "To appreciate people in your life the most , you kind of have to eulo¥ize them while they're livmg. And in order to do that you have to constantly imagine them dying tragically . I think I do that beyond my control," she says, laughing at herself. In candid, often playful, conversation between bites of an omelet , Silverman applauds her current anti depressant.

To start with, the character " called Sarah . Furthermore . this particular Sarah continues the tradition of winsome depravity long embraced by the humorist-actress who shares her name. During years of standup comedy. TV appearances and tilm roles, Silverman has mined laughs from 9111. AIDS. the Holocaust. rape and Martin Luther King, among other topics that most wnrics leave safely buried . Now "The Sarah Silverman Program" (premiering Thursday at 10:30 p.m . EST) gives a fresh twi st to her freewheeling wrongness in the person of a flighty . self-consumed slacker. .Sarah's response to a lengthy TV benetit for children with leukemia? She rousts herself from the couch to go buy fresh batteries for her remote ... so she can change the channel. A farting contest with her friends has an unfortunate outcome for Sarah. Subsequently granted any wish by God, she requests ... a better fart. On this week's episode. Sarah gets drunk on cough syrup and crashes her car into a playground. But not before snubbing an elderly woman at the drug store for looking old ... just moments after praising the woman's youthful appearance. This is the sort of mindbending behavior Sarah makes a practice of, inflicting whiplash on anyone who crosses her path including the audience. " I don 't think anybody 's gonna say , ·oh , she 's a good person,"' Silverman acknowledges with a smile. But the funny, often shocking thin g about Silverman's show is: You are drawn to the sharacter. however appalling. eve n as she pushes yii'u away with a rude shove. This is Silverman's specialty. After all . she is the comic who in her standup act tells the crowd. "I don ' t care if you think I'm racist. I just want you to think I'm thin ." Silverman's comedy has always been based on saying the opposite of what she feels. in the service of expming buried truths about prejudice, pettiness or s undry other wrongheaded attitudes. Then again. maybe not . ''I don't know if it's like: Hey. we're all thinking this , ani! now I'm saying it," she muses. Struggling to explain, she seems genuinely tom as to how much meaning to give what she does. She looks downright squeamish at sounding pretentious. Maybe it all comes down to a single word. a less polite version of "jerk" (and her only salty word in the whole interview). · ''I think it could be more like: I'm clearly the (jerk) in this scenario," she says, "and if it 's making you laugh , that's enough." Arriving downstairs frpm her Manhattan hotel room, Silvennan bounds into the lobby in baggy Bermudas , a short-sleeved jersey and tennis shoes. A ltny pack is on her back, her hair pulled into a ponytail. She looks like a schoolgirl ready to dash for the bus - and, wearing no makeup. little more .than half her 36 years. Settling in for this lunch chat, she asked to borrow a P~se from the reporter's pad. She needed to dispose of her gum. "Sarah's a pa!hetic person," Silvennan declare s. "Her parents are dead . ' he has nothing going on in her life . and she's rea ll y dependent on her sister." Played by real-life sister Laura Silverman, that character is, fittingly. a nurse. whose care even includes paying jobless Sarah's bills. Brian Posehn and Steve Agee as Sarah's gay -couple neighbors round out her support system . Or would they all be better described as enablers? Is Sarah some kind of tragicomic victim? A poignant subtext to the show would · suit Silverman fine. " I always am drawn to heartbreak ," she says. Oh, yeah? If this were a sce ne on her TV sbow, here's her wind-up for a verbal sucker punch . But wait, she's not kidding. " I love heartbreaking music, heartbreaking movies," she says. her bright eyes moist, "and I think there's an element of that" in her series. Having come out as, of all things, a softie, she mentions her boyfriend of 4 112 years, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel , about whom she's always "playing out a tragedy in my head ." "To appreciate people in your life the most , you kind of have to eulo¥ize them while they're livmg. And in order to do that you have to constantly imagine them dying tragically . I think I do that beyond my control," she says, laughing at herself. In candid, often playful, conversation between bites of an omelet , Silverman applauds her current anti depressant. "It's been really good," . sh~_:,e.f2l''• clearly ple~se?. ''I'm not paral yzed with despair by. like. 'Should I do my laundry now ? I' II just have more in a week!'" She also addresses . with an embarrass~d ... milL' . the uft -llmacheu topic· ul her sex mess . " I never know ho\v to answer those questions:· she says. "But the day those questions stop. I'll know I' ve hit a wall. So it's trou bling on so many levels."

"I don 't know how successful this is going to be. but thi s is a passion of mine," said Todd Melman. who has opened Reef Systems Coal Farm in suburban New Albany with his wife, Stephanie Callahan. The idea is to help preserve natural reefs by growing coral r~sponsibly while putting healthier coral in the aquariums of loca l enthusiasts. Even though they are hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, aquaculture businesses are thriving in the Midwest because people want to obtain organisms ·raised in a cultured environ:ment, said Laura Tiu, a spe:cialist in the field with Ohio State University. "He's being very innovative and forward-thinking :and environmentally sensi·tive," said Tiu, who has :helped Melman with permits needed for his coral farm. Melman began with coral ·that he imported years aso from places such as Fijt, where it was removed from reefs. The corals are raised in a Sunday,Februarytt,2007 AP photo Jeremy Johnston, employee at Reef Systems Coral Farm, bags coral for a customer during the grand opening on Feb. 3 1n New Albany.

"You get the best thinkers in agriculture," Winkle said of the forums. "You're mixing such a diverse group of people - from different areas, from different backgrounds, different experiences, different ways of farming." Fifty-one percent of U.S . farms have Internet access, according to a July 2005 report by the U.S. Depanment of Agriculture. up from 48 percent in 2003. More than two-thirds of them still use dial-up access. The popularity of online farm forums has grown as well, said Mack Strickland, an agricultural engineer at . Purdue University and farm-computer expert, with some forums claiming to have as many as 30,000 registered users. - The Internet division of :Farm Journal Media, · http ://www.agweb.com, says user traffic doubled between October 2005 and October 2006, with the forums on the site enjoying . similar growth. Traffic on · the Des Moines, Iowa-based http://www.agriculture.com has increased 20 percent to 25 percent over the past year, said editor John Walter. Both sites are funded by ads and free for users. say the Enthusiasts forums have improved farm production and saved farmers precious dollars by help. ing them avoid costly mis. takes in planting, fenilizing, equipment buys and maintenance. And forums have enabled farmers - marly of them miles from their near. est neighbor - to educate . each other and build community.

Online forums, message boards and chat rooms are replacing rural coffee shops and feed mills as places for farmers to talk about farming and trade tips. are demanding it. Paul Butler, who grows corn and soybeans on 260 acres in Macon, Ill., returned to farming four years ago after 25 years in the computer business. He doubts he would have made it without the Internet and online advice from fellow farmers. "l would have made a lot of expensive mistakes." said Butler, 39, who logs on usin g broadband . "Purchasing seed is a prelly complicated decision . It was nice to have 20 unbiased people that weren't selling seed that could give me an opinion on it." Eric Neer. 24, of Davenport, luwa, discovered farm forums from fellow students when he was in college. Although he seldom posts a question, Neer - who works for a farm equipment manufacturer - devours the information he sees on precision farming, using the forums to shop for equipment and information about tractors and combines that are steered by computers linked to global positwning satellites. 1 Machinery - the universal language of farmers is a hot topic in farm forums. So is when best to take crops to market to get the best price. Sometimes the talk· veers away from pure farming. In a recent exchange on http://www.newagtalk.com, a ,POJ?Ular farm forum, an llhnots farmer complained that the starter on his pickup truck was acting up. A fe[- 450-gallon aquarium wher~ 350 pieces of coral are un Jisplay. Like most home tank>. the aquarium reiies on anilicial light, making many of the corals look more dramatic or take on a different hue than under the natural light in the greenhouse. "Without thi s tank ... it would be very difticuit fur me to sell anything," said Melman, 35. a self-taught aquaculturist who has operated his own aquarium maintenance business since 1999. When the com! reaches a specific size. he cuts off sma ll pieces that will grow on their own rather than cutting all the viable pieces. He said his c()ral is hea lthier than coral that has traveled through a supply c h~in before reaching a store and has been deprived of light and food . Daryl Kinney of Westervi lie said he met Melman when he decided to set up a saltwater reef tank at home . Melman, who worked at a local aquarium store at the time , refused at tirst to sell him anything and only gave him books on the subject. "He wanted to make us educated consumers," Kinney said.

"I would put a whole new starter on it," he wrote. "Fix it now before it ruins the flywheel teeth." An Ohio farmer wondered if he should replace his fuel-oil furnace with a geothermal heating system. .The idea got high marks from a farmer in Indiana who said a geothermal system leav es no smell or residue, makes le ss noise . and leaves no hot/cold spots. Then he offered tips on in sulation and heat distribution. Fanners have to decide themselves whether the advice they get is sound. Walter said he tries to screen out the hokum, blowhards and occasional shyster. Strickland said some users. give opinions not based on fact or research. And some farmers still rely on the neighbor they know. "You can get some good ideas from people in other states, but they're dealing with different circumstances," said Jim Meimer, who raises corn, soybeans and wheat on 900 acres. Meimer, 28, goes online to get market data but prefers to get advice from friends and neighbors.

"We have so much riding on many of our decisions economically that you've got to lind people with experience." A farmer can spend as much as $160,000 on a combine, for example. lf it breaks down during a critical harvest time , that could mean the difference between a ·profit and a loss for some farmers .

"It's just rearranged who their neighbors are in a sense. You can't help but think that has changed farming to some degree." Rural America has lagged behind the cities in Internet usage - especially broadband - because wiring the population-rich cities is more pro.fitable and wiring the countryside more expensive due to long distances and natural barriers such as hills.

Even though they are hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, aquaculture businesses are thriving in the Midwest because people want to obtain organisms ·raised in a cultured environ:ment, said Laura Tiu, a spe:cialist in the field with Ohio State University. "He's being very innovative and forward-thinking :and environmentally sensi·tive," said Tiu, who has :helped Melman with permits needed for his coral farm. Melman began with coral ·that he imported years aso from places such as Fijt, where it was removed from reefs. The corals are raised in a Sunday,Februarytt,2007 AP photo Jeremy Johnston, employee at Reef Systems Coral Farm, bags coral for a customer during the grand opening on Feb. 3 1n New Albany. The business was developed as a way to protect coral reefs, which can be _damaged by overharvesting; and put healthier and more environmentally friendly coral in the aquariums of local enthusiasts.

The screen's soft glow lights up his eyeglasses, reflecting messages about tractors, com hybrids and crop insurance. . Winkle is checking the latest postings on his favorite· Internet farm forum. Advice from fellow farmers around the country has enabled him to increase his com and soybean production, better market his crops, learn how to rebuild engines and get good tires for his tractor. Online forums. message boards and chat rooms are replacing rural coffee shops and feed mills as places for farmers to talk farmihg and trade tips as more of rural America goes online. "You get the best thinkers in agriculture," Winkle said of the forums. "You're mixing such a diverse group of people - from different areas, from different backgrounds, different experiences, different ways of farming." Fifty-one percent of U.S . farms have Internet access, according to a July 2005 report by the U.S. Depanment of Agriculture. up from 48 percent in 2003. More than two-thirds of them still use dial-up access. The popularity of online farm forums has grown as well, said Mack Strickland, an agricultural engineer at . Purdue University and farm-computer expert, with some forums claiming to have as many as 30,000 registered users. - The Internet division of :Farm Journal Media, · http ://www.agweb.com, says user traffic doubled between October 2005 and October 2006, with the forums on the site enjoying . similar growth. Traffic on · the Des Moines, Iowa-based http://www.agriculture.com has increased 20 percent to 25 percent over the past year, said editor John Walter. Both sites are funded by ads and free for users. say the Enthusiasts forums have improved farm production and saved farmers precious dollars by help. ing them avoid costly mis. takes in planting, fenilizing, equipment buys and maintenance. And forums have enabled farmers - marly of them miles from their near. est neighbor - to educate . each other and build community.

Advice from fellow farmers around the country has enabled him to increase his corn and soybean production, better market his crops, learn how to rebuild engines and get good tires for his tractor. Online forums, message boards and chat rooms are replacing rural coffee shops and feed mills as places for farmers to talk about farming and trade tips. are demanding it. Paul Butler, who grows corn and soybeans on 260 acres in Macon, Ill., returned to farming four years ago after 25 years in the computer business. He doubts he would have made it without the Internet and online advice from fellow farmers. "l would have made a lot of expensive mistakes." said Butler, 39, who logs on usin g broadband . "Purchasing seed is a prelly complicated decision . It was nice to have 20 unbiased people that weren't selling seed that could give me an opinion on it." Eric Neer. 24, of Davenport, luwa, discovered farm forums from fellow students when he was in college. Although he seldom posts a question, Neer - who works for a farm equipment manufacturer - devours the information he sees on precision farming, using the forums to shop for equipment and information about tractors and combines that are steered by computers linked to global positwning satellites. 1 Machinery - the universal language of farmers is a hot topic in farm forums. So is when best to take crops to market to get the best price. Sometimes the talk· veers away from pure farming. In a recent exchange on http://www.newagtalk.com, a ,POJ?Ular farm forum, an llhnots farmer complained that the starter on his pickup truck was acting up. A fe[- 450-gallon aquarium wher~ 350 pieces of coral are un Jisplay. Like most home tank>. the aquarium reiies on anilicial light, making many of the corals look more dramatic or take on a different hue than under the natural light in the greenhouse. "Without thi s tank ... it would be very difticuit fur me to sell anything," said Melman, 35. a self-taught aquaculturist who has operated his own aquarium maintenance business since 1999. When the com! reaches a specific size. he cuts off sma ll pieces that will grow on their own rather than cutting all the viable pieces. He said his c()ral is hea lthier than coral that has traveled through a supply c h~in before reaching a store and has been deprived of light and food . Daryl Kinney of Westervi lie said he met Melman when he decided to set up a saltwater reef tank at home . Melman, who worked at a local aquarium store at the time , refused at tirst to sell him anything and only gave him books on the subject. "He wanted to make us educated consumers," Kinney said. "To ha\'e someone around here who 's doing this in a respectful way ... is really, really meaningful ." acrthune - Sentinel - l\e CLASSIFIED Gallla County OH Websjtes: In One Week With Us www.mydailytribune.com om classified@ ~~:;;:~ribune.com REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS www.mydailysentinel.c. www.mydailyregister.com 0 A To Place acrtbune Sentinel l\egi~ter ca~:;:.::v...

"I would put a whole new starter on it," he wrote. "Fix it now before it ruins the flywheel teeth." An Ohio farmer wondered if he should replace his fuel-oil furnace with a geothermal heating system. .The idea got high marks from a farmer in Indiana who said a geothermal system leav es no smell or residue, makes le ss noise . and leaves no hot/cold spots. Then he offered tips on in sulation and heat distribution. Fanners have to decide themselves whether the advice they get is sound. Walter said he tries to screen out the hokum, blowhards and occasional shyster. Strickland said some users. give opinions not based on fact or research. And some farmers still rely on the neighbor they know. "You can get some good ideas from people in other states, but they're dealing with different circumstances," said Jim Meimer, who raises corn, soybeans and wheat on 900 acres. Meimer, 28, goes online to get market data but prefers to get advice from friends and neighbors. He often sees them at the feed store and fenilizer plant wlien he goes into nearby Mount Gilead, Ohio. to pay bills. Glen Fei chtner. 48. who raise' 300 head of cattle nt:ar New Washington . Ohio, prefers to ge l his tips from fellow farmers at the stockyard and grai n elevator becau'e he knows they have been success fu I. "l get face -to-face interaction," he said. "l know lhese people.

During the winter, he spends about two hours a day wading through the forums from his farm . about 40 miles northea•st ot' Cincinnati . Since April. he has posted I,738 messages on one forum alone.

There wa> little change from January in the month! y crop report . Vigorous· demand for . corn-based ethanol fuel will consume one-fifth of the nation's corn crop, and about the same share will be sold to foreign bl1yers, the deparunent said . Average corn prices remain at near-record levels of $3.20 a bushel , analysts said. The forecast fur soy bean prices ruse to $6.20 a bloshel, the second-highest level in a decade. Last month's forecast was $6.10. Wheat prices are· now forecast at $4.25 a bu shel , down from $4.30 last month but up from $3.42 last year. "Across the board. when you look at the major crops. very strong prices. and driven bv demand, which is unusual," said Keith Collins. the Agriculture Department 's chief economist. Dairy prices are also strong. Collins said. That's despite an increase in the number of dairy cows as well as milk per cow, because poor weather has trimmed productiO!l in competing countries such as Australia and New Zealand, he said.

"We have so much riding on many of our decisions economically that you've got to lind people with experience." A farmer can spend as much as $160,000 on a combine, for example. lf it breaks down during a critical harvest time , that could mean the difference between a ·profit and a loss for some farmers . Walter said the average visitor to http://www.agriculture.com spends II minutes at a time on the site. "It's enough time to have a cup of coffee and a conversation and learn something," he said. "It's just rearranged who their neighbors are in a sense. You can't help but think that has changed farming to some degree." Rural America has lagged behind the cities in Internet usage - especially broadband - because wiring the population-rich cities is more pro.fitable and wiring the countryside more expensive due to long distances and natural barriers such as hills. In addition, rural businesses haven't needed the Internet as much to compete. However, farmers and existin~ rural businesses are becommg more reliant on the .

Put aw~y buckets and gardening tools, straighten akimbo posts, and cut back old ftower stalks. .ENJOY YOUR GARDEN IN WINTER BY LEE REICH FOR THE ASSOCIA.TED PRESS Look outside. Does your garden look neglected. desolate or melancholy? It need not. even if it's too cold for plants to grow, or snow blankets the ground. A quick and easy first step to creating a pleasant winter scene outdoors is to tidy up. Put away buckets and gardening tools, straighten akimbo posts, and cut back old flower stalks. Formal gardens need more tidying than informal gardens, but even informal gardens benefit from some tidying up. After all. an abandoned lot is no wildtlower meadow. Tidiness lends some order to. the scene, but emphasizing that order makes things prettier. Define and organize outdoor space wilh masses and lines created by plants. fences. walls even benches and statuary. For instance , an arbor looks pretty enough si,lriog through fall, if you nottce it among climbing plants. But once winter comes, the arbor stands out, detlning space on either side. Come snow, milky white dots cap each post and white strokes define horizontal elements. dressing the arbor up in much the same way as vines dressed it up in summer. For longer-term planning, keep in mind other ways to make sure your garden will look pleasing year-round: Rows of plants also define spaces. Use a row of trees, even if they are small. Or a dnuble row of trees that draw s you • along as if through a tunnel. Or hedges: Even deciduous hedges make a winter statement if they are twiggy like forsythia or privet. Low hedges of evergreen dwarf boxwood can create a tapestry at ground level. A single tree trunk can define an area by acting as a visual anchor, a centerpiece. What's needed here is a large tree, and the more massive its trunk the greater the effect. The challenge in creating a landscape enjoyable in winter as well as the rest of the year is in integrating all the design elements. rhink in three dimensions rather than two. Design with mass, viewed mostly from ground level, either from indoors or outside. Wall in spaces, open up vistas, create thoroughfares and resting places. Use decorative fencing or rows of plants to knit the scene together. Elsewhere, the scene might need livening with a focal point - a statue or a bench, for example. Winter also is a time to highlight aspects of plants lost in summer's lushness: the tiered branches of doublefile viburnum: the red berries on leafless stems of winterberry; the curling, coppery bark of paperbark maple . Your garden may not be what you· d hope it to be in winter - yet. Let new plantings, new growth, at1d new construction carry it doser to that goal each year. NEW MARKET, Va. Early in the new year is a ~ood time to deal with famtly health plans. It's an opponunity for fresh stans, for renewal and for developing healthier habits. How about stani ng by scheduling a physical for your yard? Going from family exams to plant checkups isn't that much of a s[retch. Early detection could provide the 11ecessary time to nip any problems you may discover m the bud, so to speak. Hiring properly trained practitioners is good preventive medicine for valued vegetation. It also makes for less long-term property maintenance. • Turf-care specialists can recommend fixes for scruffy lawns. • County extension agents can walk homeowners through the mechanics of soi I sampling. • Master gardeners can help diagnose plant ailments and suggest the appropriate remedies. • Arborists can spot prob-• !ems with trees and shrubs, no matter what time of year. And many are willing to make house calls. "We've learned a lot from human health care," Sharon Lilly said. She is educational-goods and services director of the International Society of Arboriculture (lSA), a 19,000-member, not-for-protit, · tree-care research and education group based in Champaign, Ill. "There's an acknowledgment that it's imponant to keep ourselves healthy. Certain genetic traits can become problems later on," she said. "It's not all that different in the plant world." The society's certified arborists are trained to offer "Plant Health Care," an HMO-like concept resembling Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for insect control. Both programs center on improving the health, growth and beauty of yards, residential or commercial. While the emphasis is on trees and shrubs, arborists work toward optimizing the health of the overall landscape, Lilly said. "That could entail everything from drainage site conditions to mulch use. Putting certain · types of trees on a pruning schedule. Recommending ways that trees and turf can be made to improve the health of each other." However, little can be done if diseased trees are discovered and diagnosed too late, Lilly said. "The focus is on prevention," she said. "If you're preventing problems, spending is less in the long run. Trees and other (growing) things in ~P photo This Virginia property owner is inspecting some recently planted Japanese maple trees to determine damage or infestation. if any, and to spread mulch around the roots in such a way that it insulates rather than suffocates with the onset of winter. Preventive care is as important for plants as it is for humans. your landscape are big assets. worth tens of thousands of dollars. They take years to grow to maturity. It's wonh protecting their val ue and · minimizing the risk of a fail ure down the road." The basic premise hehind !SA's particular Plant Health Care philosophy is that natural defenses can be strengthened when plants have been properly cared for. Energy used lighting stress can be channeled instead toward building up natural systems. Determming something as simple as soi l chemistry can save property ·owners a great deal of time and effon. Tests can be done at home using simple-to-follow kits or, for a nominal lee, bv se nding core samples to the nearest university extension-service lab. A typical soil analysis identilies texture. pH, phosphorous and potassium levels and the amount of organic matter present in the samples, among other things. Test results also suggest which nutrients should be added and in what amounts. Follow-ups are recommended every three to seven years. "Some trees like pin oaks do very P,?Orly in alkaline soils," Ltlly said. "You' d probably stmggle with such a tree through its entire lifetime. You can compare that with diabetes, which has no cure and which requires constant treatment. In the case of the tree, you' rc constant!) workine the soil. addine iron and other things." Integ rat ed Pest Management and Plant Health Care generally go hand in hand. Both int roduce niltural. physical and biological controls as a way of supplementing chemicals. "Plant Health Call! i'> more holistic. emphasiLing keeping plant> healthy and growi ng in harmony with,. surrounding plants in the landscape," Lilly said . "And. we ' re moving from the concept of ·wntrols' to that of ·managemeRl. ' Thi' may be a 'uhtle difterence in practice. but it\ a bigger one in philosophy." A good way to work with th~ plant professionals is to know just what it is that you IHII 'C flowering or fruiting around the property. Know al"' their particular needs and si"ceptibility to insect dama)!C. LJnderstand the makeup of your yard's microdimates. That low. clay -dominated spot near the .:orner of your house could collect runoff. boding ill for plants that don ' t like getting their feet wet. Or notice how that decnrati\e boulder in the middle of your law n can provide cuver for a perimeter of tender tropicals, protecting them from stem-snapping winds and searing sun. Pay particular attention to le<tf wilt. discolormion and die-off, plant stress and other unhealthy sy mptoms. "A rborists tend to look for signs of decay, root and limb damage and other risk factors in trees,'' Lilly said. "Rose bushes don't fall on people and kill them ."
