READER'S VIEW Ideas Saving Middleport money Dear Editor: I want to share a few thoughts about the recent special primary and the defeat of the levy in Middleport- not that it was unexpected. First, it is a shame to spend over $3,000 to hold an election just for the levy and do so little to promote its passage. Not one council-person knocked on my door to urge me to vote for the levy. No one handed me a flyer promoting the need for its passage. · Was it the County Board of Election~ that decided it was necessary to print 1,500 ballots and to pay I 2 poll workers $1 00 each to handle some 236 voters - another example of poor judgment and wasted money? Why did the levy fail? It is quite simple. The voters have -said again, a[ld again, they will not support any tax increase so long as the mayor and council refuse to cut unnecessary expenses. The following are a few money-saving suggestions they should consider: • Sell one of the three police cruisers since on,Iy one officer is on duty. Use to pay off the debt on the newest cruiser. • Sell the special-use vehicle Police Chief Swift uses tp drive to work, etc. • Require the on-duty police officer to stay in Middleport and quit hanging out in Pomeroy. • Outsource the income. tax preparation department to R.I.T.A., previously recommended by Ferman Moore. • Require that one water department worker go out to read meters instead of the three currently riding in the truck. • Closely monitor the gasoline dispensed from the village tank to make sure only authorized vehicles are supplied. • Eliminate the $5 Water Improvement tax which is deeply resented by' nearly ever citizen. Raise the water usage rates to match those of surrounding communities. Use the increase to · pay-down the ill-conceived Aoyd Browne/bank loan fiasco. If these ideas are implemented I almost guarantee a levy would pass in November. The good people of Middleport likely have additional suggestions, though maybe not as controversial as these. Meanwhile, inquire of mayoral candidate Mike Gerlach to learn what ideas he has in mind for helping the village of Middleport. H. Craig Weh'nlng Middleport tvith Tony orJane?

National Cancer Survivor Day (NCSD) is an annual, worldwide celebration of life that is held in hundreds of communities throughout the U.S., Canada and other participating countries. Cancer survivo'rs, caregivers, family inembers; friends and healthcare professionals will unite in this symbolic event to show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality. The. idea for NCSD originated in Kansas City when cancer survivor Richard Bloch, co-founder of H&R Block, and his wife, Annette, held their first Cancer Survivor Rally to demonstrate that a cancer diagnosis is not an automatic death sentence. The event soon cau~ht on in other communities and has come to be known as National Cancer Survivors Day. The Holzer Center for Cancer Care is hosting a National Survivors ' Day Picnic June 3 from I until 3 p.m. at the Bob Evans Farm Sheltehouse in Rio Grande. The center will join over 700 communities worldwide in celebrating life as part of the 20th annual NCSD, the world's largest cancer survivor event. "This event will lift your spirit because you can learn how surviving cancer is an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest," said Diane Young, RN, BSN, OCN, NCSD coordinator for the Holzer Center for Cancer Care. "You will find our community's NCSD event filled with joy, camaraderie,. hope, compassion, faith and .love as we honor cancer survivors for their strength and courage. We will also recognize the contributions of their families, friends and healthcare providers and call attention to the issues of cancer survi.vorship ... The local event organized by the Holzer Center for Cancer Care is sponsored by AstraZeneca, Copin~(r) Magazine, and Lilly Oncology. Entertainment will be provided by the Big Bend Cloggers. · A cancer survivor is defined by NCSD Foundation as anyone living with a .history of cancer - from . the mome.nt of diagnosis through the remainder of life. Approximately 10.5 million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagno·sis of cancer. In the U.S., almost half of all men and one third of all women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. We need to learn as much as possible about this disease, because many forms of cancer can be prevented and most cured if detected early. Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment have resulted in longer survival. and therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors.

Physical, financial ·and emotional hardships often persist after diagnosis and treatment. Survivors may face many challenges such as hindered access to cancer specialists and promising new treatments, inadequate insurance, financial hardships, employmerlt problems ·and psychological struggles.

National Cancer Survivor Day (NCSD) is an annual, worldwide celebration of life that is held in hundreds of communities throughout the U.S., Canada and other participating countries. Cancer survivo'rs, caregivers, family inembers; friends and healthcare professionals will unite in this symbolic event to show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality. The. idea for NCSD originated in Kansas City when cancer survivor Richard Bloch, co-founder of H&R Block, and his wife, Annette, held their first Cancer Survivor Rally to demonstrate that a cancer diagnosis is not an automatic death sentence. The event soon cau~ht on in other communities and has come to be known as National Cancer Survivors Day. The Holzer Center for Cancer Care is hosting a National Survivors ' Day Picnic June 3 from I until 3 p.m. at the Bob Evans Farm Sheltehouse in Rio Grande. The center will join over 700 communities worldwide in celebrating life as part of the 20th annual NCSD, the world's largest cancer survivor event. "This event will lift your spirit because you can learn how surviving cancer is an attitude about life and living each day to the fullest," said Diane Young, RN, BSN, OCN, NCSD coordinator for the Holzer Center for Cancer Care. "You will find our community's NCSD event filled with joy, camaraderie,. hope, compassion, faith and .love as we honor cancer survivors for their strength and courage. We will also recognize the contributions of their families, friends and healthcare providers and call attention to the issues of cancer survi.vorship ... The local event organized by the Holzer Center for Cancer Care is sponsored by AstraZeneca, Copin~(r) Magazine, and Lilly Oncology. Entertainment will be provided by the Big Bend Cloggers. · A cancer survivor is defined by NCSD Foundation as anyone living with a .history of cancer - from . the mome.nt of diagnosis through the remainder of life. Approximately 10.5 million Americans are now living with and beyond a diagno·sis of cancer. In the U.S., almost half of all men and one third of all women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. We need to learn as much as possible about this disease, because many forms of cancer can be prevented and most cured if detected early. Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment have resulted in longer survival. and therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors.

Physical, financial ·and emotional hardships often persist after diagnosis and treatment. Survivors may face many challenges such as hindered access to cancer specialists and promising new treatments, inadequate insurance, financial hardships, employmerlt problems ·and psychological struggles. In light of these difficul. ties, attention needs to be focused on improving the critical aspects of long-term care for cancer survivors.

TOLEDO John Harbert slapped a coat of black paint along the bottom of his 31-foot boat, getting ready for the summer season. But he doubts he' ll spend much time away from the docks this year. Gas prices are making it too expensive for him to go on long trips - his boat gets about a mile or two for each gallon of gas. "It's getting .ridiculous," Harbert said. "A lot of people are going to using their boats like cottages." . Marina managers in the state say they don't expect boaters to curtail their outings this summer despite near-record gas prices. They do expect boaters to take shorter trips, though. "It makes everybody gripe a little more, but they're ·going to keep going out," said T.J. Wright, who works at the Harbor North Marina in Huron. "What we generally find is people are making less trips." The growing cost of fuel is likely to cut into travel plans this summer for many. About two in five people said they have changed their vacation plans to stay closer to home as a result of energy price increases, according to an AP-Ipsos poll released Friday. Boaters have it even worse than drivers. They pay, on average, 40 or 50 cents more per gallon at marinas. And the fuel mileage is enough to make a boater cry. . Harbert said it would cost him .at least $250 just to make a weekend trip· from Toledo to the Lake Erie islands. Even a short fishing trip will be costly, he said. "It's going to affect everybody," he said. "We'll just give up fishing." Barb Hand, who owns Holiday Point Marina, which sits along the Ohio River near Portsmouth, said she used to see more people who would take long trips down the river. Some would take their boats from Pittsburgh all the way to the Mississippi River. "Not as many people are going on for two weeks," she said. "I'm sure a lot of it is the cost of fuel." Most of her regular cus- · tomers, she said, will keep coming. "A lot of our boaters are working class people." she said: "This is their vacation, their relaxation." The Ohio Department of Natural Resources estimates · that recreational' boating puts about $2. I billion each year into state economy. And boaters in 2005 pa1d $14.6 million in · Ohio marine gas taxes. There were about 412,000 registered boaters in Ohio' in 2005, the eighth highest number of all states. "As long as the sun shines and we have beautiful weather, we'll see people using their boats," said Jim Brown, who owns Sutherland Marine in Ashtabula. · Mark Weiss, a boater from Toledo. said he won't change his plans for this summer. He owns a sailboat. His friends will be staying behind at the docks. "They used to laugh at me for how slow I go," he said.

George Voinovich will hold "Connecting with Communities" office hours in Gallia County on Friday, · June l, from II :30 a.m to 12:30 p.m. at the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce, 16 State St. This session will provide Gallia County residents with an OP(l?rtunity to talk in person w1th a district representative who will bring their concern~ and ideas directly back to the senator. 'Throughout my career in public service, I have always made listening and responding to the policy concerns of Ohioans a priority. Today, both Ohio and the nation face the .greatest . challenge and opp;ortunities of our time. To be effective in my mission to improve life for Ohioans and Amaricans, I need to hear from my constituents," Voinovich said. · "These listening sessions are vital because they help me stay attuned to the needs of Ohioans while I am working in Washington," he added. Through the Connecting with Communities initiative, Voinovich's staff will travel to every county in Ohio this year to meet with constituents, reach out to local elected officials and attend community events. No appointments are necessary. For information, call Voinovich s district representative for southeast Ohio, Cara Dingus Brook, at (740) 753-1985. TOLEDO John Harbert slapped a coat of black paint along the bottom of his 31-foot boat, getting ready for the summer season. But he doubts he' ll spend much time away from the docks this year. Gas prices are making it too expensive for him to go on long trips - his boat gets about a mile or two for each gallon of gas. "It's getting .ridiculous," Harbert said. "A lot of people are going to using their boats like cottages." . Marina managers in the state say they don't expect boaters to curtail their outings this summer despite near-record gas prices. They do expect boaters to take shorter trips, though. "It makes everybody gripe a little more, but they're ·going to keep going out," said T.J. Wright, who works at the Harbor North Marina in Huron. "What we generally find is people are making less trips." The growing cost of fuel is likely to cut into travel plans this summer for many. About two in five people said they have changed their vacation plans to stay closer to home as a result of energy price increases, according to an AP-Ipsos poll released Friday. Boaters have it even worse than drivers. They pay, on average, 40 or 50 cents more per gallon at marinas. And the fuel mileage is enough to make a boater cry. . Harbert said it would cost him .at least $250 just to make a weekend trip· from Toledo to the Lake Erie islands. Even a short fishing trip will be costly, he said. "It's going to affect everybody," he said. "We'll just give up fishing." Barb Hand, who owns Holiday Point Marina, which sits along the Ohio River near Portsmouth, said she used to see more people who would take long trips down the river. Some would take their boats from Pittsburgh all the way to the Mississippi River. "Not as many people are going on for two weeks," she said. "I'm sure a lot of it is the cost of fuel." Most of her regular cus- · tomers, she said, will keep coming. "A lot of our boaters are working class people." she said: "This is their vacation, their relaxation." The Ohio Department of Natural Resources estimates · that recreational' boating puts about $2. I billion each year into state economy. And boaters in 2005 pa1d $14.6 million in · Ohio marine gas taxes. There were about 412,000 registered boaters in Ohio' in 2005, the eighth highest number of all states. "As long as the sun shines and we have beautiful weather, we'll see people using their boats," said Jim Brown, who owns Sutherland Marine in Ashtabula. · Mark Weiss, a boater from Toledo. said he won't change his plans for this summer. He owns a sailboat. His friends will be staying behind at the docks. "They used to laugh at me for how slow I go," he said.

The other Eastern state qua1ifier was, of course, Michael Owen - who placed third in the 3200m run with a time of 10:01.14. His time was more thim 15 seconds slower than last week's runner-up finish at districts, but .the school's record-holder in the mile, two-mile and in cross country still advanced to his second career state competition at Jesse · Owens Stadium. · Afterward EHS coach Josh Fogle thought- the day couldn't have gone much better for his athletes. He was enormously proud of them, particularly the relay squad that answered the challenge. "We knew Michael and Becca had a pretty good shot, but we were worried a . little bit about the (4x400) relay team being stuck out in lane _ei?ht. you never know what s gomg to happen out there," Fogle said. "We mixed the order up -a little bit to get out to a bigger lead early, then the girls just held on.

"I don't want to waste my time thinking what can go wrong ," Kanaan said Friday after leading the traditi onal one-hour "Carburetion Day" practice with a fas t lap of 225.467 mph. "I'd rather think about what I can do to have the best race I can have." Kanaan will start between pole-winner and countrym an Helio Castroneves and Andretti Green Racing teammate Dario Franchini in the front row Sunday, and he' s conside red by man y the .best of at least II top contenders in the 91 st edition of the 500. "You have to just try to be there at the end," the former IndyCar Series champion said. "We have a good car, but it's a long race. "Winning might happen , or it mi ght not happen. That won ' t be the end of my life. If it happens, f\ne . If it doesn' t happen, how many drivers can say they . almost won this race?" That includes Kanaan , who after crashing out in 2002, finished second in 2004 and third in 2003. He added finishes of eighth and fifth the last two years. "Really, the only near miss I had was i!l 2002, though, when I was in the .lead and gone, and 'I spun in (Bruno) Junqueira's oil when they dido ' t throw the yellow fa st enough," said Kanaan, making hi s sixth start on the 2.5-mile Brickyard ovaL "The other ones, I was in position and I had a bad stop and they dido ' t, or I went through traffic a little slower than · they did. That's just facts . You can't blame anybody. " You try to learn, · but there 's so many things that are not under your control that it doesn' t matter." Two-time Indy 500 winner Castroneves said he believes his old friend will finally get that big victory soon. "I always want to beat him, and, if I don't win, I want my teammate to win," said Castroneves, referring to Sam Hornish Jr., who gave Team Penske and owner Roger Penske his record 14th Indy win last May. " But, I. want Tony to win, too. He de serves it, and he 's probably going to be one of the drivers who will be there at the finish. "There are drivers her e at Indianapolis who just don ' t seem to get the luck, like Michael Andr~tti . But you never know when it will be your day, and you have to just keep making your chances." . All 33 starters made it onto the track Friday, with Franchitti a distant second to Kanaan on the speed chart at 223.807, followed by Andretti at 223.575 and Castroneves at 223.527. Hornish was seventh . Among other top contenders, Scott Dixon and 2005 Indy winner Dan Wheldon were sixth and 13th, while Danica Patrick and Marco ' Andretti were eighth and II th .

I ', Thursday's Games INDIANAPOLIS Danica Patrick gets the star treatment, and rookie Milka Duno is IndyCar racing's new· glamor girL So where does that leave Sarah Fisher, who· has more Indianapolis 500 starts than both of them combined? "I'm just trying to keep getting better as a race car driver and win races," said Fisher, who will join the other two women in the 33-car field for Sunday 's 9l st running ofthe Indy race. It 's the first time three · women " have qualified .for the big event, and Fisher 's OK with the many questions about Patrick and Duno. " It doesn' t bother me " said Fisher, who will ra~e in her sillth 500 this weekend. "We ' re in the minori: ty, and, as the minority, a lot of times people will go to each other because of what they have in common. But here we ' ve got · some individuals who can stand alone and are doing their own thing." Patrick grabbed headlines by leading laps and finishing fourth in the 2005 race at the Indianapoli s Motor Speedway .:. both firsts for a woman at Indy. But it's the 26-year-Gid Fisher who holds the .di stinction of being the fastest woman qualifier at the Brickyard, posting a fourlap average of 229.439 'mph in 2002. And her second-place finish in the 200 I season-opener at Home s tead - Miami Speedway remains the best finish by a ' woman in IndyCar Series history. Still, Fisher has had a hard time finding sronsor. ship and a team tha would stick with her.

INDIANAPOLIS Tony Kan.aan can' t be bothered with the past He just wants another shot at winning the Indianapolis 500. "I don't want to waste my time thinking what can go wrong ," Kanaan said Friday after leading the traditi onal one-hour "Carburetion Day" practice with a fas t lap of 225.467 mph. "I'd rather think about what I can do to have the best race I can have." Kanaan will start between pole-winner and countrym an Helio Castroneves and Andretti Green Racing teammate Dario Franchini in the front row Sunday, and he' s conside red by man y the .best of at least II top contenders in the 91 st edition of the 500. "You have to just try to be there at the end," the former IndyCar Series champion said. "We have a good car, but it's a long race. "Winning might happen , or it mi ght not happen. That won ' t be the end of my life. If it happens, f\ne . If it doesn' t happen, how many drivers can say they . almost won this race?" That includes Kanaan , who after crashing out in 2002, finished second in 2004 and third in 2003. He added finishes of eighth and fifth the last two years. "Really, the only near miss I had was i!l 2002, though, when I was in the .lead and gone, and 'I spun in (Bruno) Junqueira's oil when they dido ' t throw the yellow fa st enough," said Kanaan, making hi s sixth start on the 2.5-mile Brickyard ovaL "The other ones, I was in position and I had a bad stop and they dido ' t, or I went through traffic a little slower than · they did. That's just facts . You can't blame anybody. " You try to learn, · but there 's so many things that are not under your control that it doesn' t matter." Two-time Indy 500 winner Castroneves said he believes his old friend will finally get that big victory soon. "I always want to beat him, and, if I don't win, I want my teammate to win," said Castroneves, referring to Sam Hornish Jr., who gave Team Penske and owner Roger Penske his record 14th Indy win last May. " But, I. want Tony to win, too. He de serves it, and he 's probably going to be one of the drivers who will be there at the finish. "There are drivers her e at Indianapolis who just don ' t seem to get the luck, like Michael Andr~tti . But you never know when it will be your day, and you have to just keep making your chances." . All 33 starters made it onto the track Friday, with Franchitti a distant second to Kanaan on the speed chart at 223.807, followed by Andretti at 223.575 and Castroneves at 223.527. Hornish was seventh . Among other top contenders, Scott Dixon and 2005 Indy winner Dan Wheldon were sixth and 13th, while Danica Patrick and Marco ' Andretti were eighth and II th . "Speed wasn ' t · that important today," Wheldon said, "You just need to do a systems check and make sure everything is OK.

It's a weekend for reflecting on what many of us call "the good old days," a time for renew ing friendships , and of course, paying tribute to those who di ed defending our country. Memorial Day will be observed across the county tomorrow with parades and public services of remem brance in cemeteries and communities. The county observance held in Pomeroy begins with a parade at I0:30 followed by a program of speeches and music on the parking lot stage, and the placing of a wreath on the Ohio River. It is always impressive, and we can thank Drew Webster Post, American Legion, for that. ••• The River City Players are excited about a mention they got in the Showbuzz Newsletter in Australia. Cathy Erwin is so enthused she sent alohg a cast picture, a T-shirt and a copy of .a program to a man she refers to as Mr. Fox. Cathy thinks "it's pretty neat" that Meigs County news · made it into the land down under. ••• Mother's Day was special for residents of the Darst . Nursing Home in Pomeroy this year because of the · thoughtfulness of the Racine Eastern Stars. They prepared bouquets of flowers tied with ribbon for each one of the women. So as not to neglect the men, they took along a selection of magazines. ••• Wow! The Pomeroy postal workers were thrilled at the amount of food their patrons contributed for the Postal Service's annual food drive. This year it totaled I ,521 pounds,, up 500 pounds from last year. It was all contributed to the Meigs Cooperative Parish for distribution to disadvantaged families. Charlene Hoeflich otherwise restrained, and that patrons be cautious ~hen getting their mail that the dog doesn 't escape and chase the mailman down the street. We all love our dogs and are sure they-wouldn't bite a flea. But that's not necessarily so. Your adorable, lovable dog just might. ... Now speaking of the our always-faithful mai l carriers -;- you know, "neither rain nor snow, nor dark of night will stay the postman from swift compl etion of his appointed rounds" - let me remind you that while dogs are faithful companions of their owners, sometimes they· aren't so kind to mailmen. This is National Dog Bite Prevention Week. Some dogs are very territorial and unfortunately can 't distinguish kind people fro m unkind ones. Fending off a dog is no fun. Just ask any mailman who's had the experience. Many have been bitten by an aggressive animal. With that said, the request from the post office is that dogs be kept inside, fenced or Jim Smith, who li ves up at The Maples and fishes down at the Mulberry Pond near Beech Grove Cemetery, believes in going right to the top wi th his .complaints when he feel s something's not right. You may remember that last year Pomeroy village applied for a grant to make some desperate ly needed improvements to the pond and the area around it. The grant was not funded at that time so Jim wrote a letter to the Department of Natural Resources and the governor telling his s.tory of fishing at the pond and the problems he was encountering there, and asking for grant money. Just about that time, the village received word that the grant would be coming through. Whether Jim's letter had anything to do with it, we don 't know. but he feels his complaint was heard because last week he received a letter from the Department of Natural Resources telling of the fundi ng to come through for the improvements. He says he is sti ll waiting for a Jetter from Governor Strickland. ••• The price of a gallon of gas keeps going up and nobody knows where it will stop.

The rest of the work the students do is completed on-line_ and the students can do it from their home computers. often at times that best fit their schedules. The students read assignments on-line. participate in online discussions and work regularly with their profes- · sors over the Internet. "Some of them said that the on-line program is the onl y way they can do the nursing program ,'' Mitchell said. "When they wo rk full -time, th ere's nn other way to do it. ·· The on-li.ne program takes two years to complete.

Bv J1u CoK, L.SW GALLIA COUNT'I HEAlTH DEPARTMENT is no substitute for a loving and nurturing environment. What can you do 0 Parents and other caregivers can help nurture positive brain development in the following ways: l. Remember that brain development begins before birth. When planning a pregnancy or if you are of childbearing age, eat health y. Nutrition makes a big difference in brain development even before the baby is born. Avoid alcohol. tobacco and other drugs or environmental toxi ns that can cause damage to your developing fetus. Attend regular prenatal visits to help ens ure that your baby is born healthy. 2. Make sure your baby 's world is a safe and secure place. Re ~ pond loving ly and consistently to your baby's cries. Give your baby the attention he/she needs. Sometimes babies just want to be held. A baby can se nse when the environment is dangerous or stressful so ensure that you and your baby are in a safe place. Seek help if needed. · 3. Talk to your baby.

This is National Dog Bite Prevention Week. Some dogs are very territorial and unfortunately can 't distinguish kind people fro m unkind ones. Fending off a dog is no fun. Just ask any mailman who's had the experience. Many have been bitten by an aggressive animal. With that said, the request from the post office is that dogs be kept inside, fenced or Jim Smith, who li ves up at The Maples and fishes down at the Mulberry Pond near Beech Grove Cemetery, believes in going right to the top wi th his .complaints when he feel s something's not right. You may remember that last year Pomeroy village applied for a grant to make some desperate ly needed improvements to the pond and the area around it. The grant was not funded at that time so Jim wrote a letter to the Department of Natural Resources and the governor telling his s.tory of fishing at the pond and the problems he was encountering there, and asking for grant money. Just about that time, the village received word that the grant would be coming through. Whether Jim's letter had anything to do with it, we don 't know. but he feels his complaint was heard because last week he received a letter from the Department of Natural Resources telling of the fundi ng to come through for the improvements. He says he is sti ll waiting for a Jetter from Governor Strickland. ••• The price of a gallon of gas keeps going up and nobody knows where it will stop. Now me, I've decided complaining does no good and tends to upset my sunny di sposition. So I've decided to just keep smiling and remembering that what goes up always comes down.

These common statements heard from Ohio's youth and young adults are just a sampling of the misperceptions that stand, Obio's youth-led tobacco counter-marketing movement, seeks to debunk. In October 2006, stand and the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation (OTPf) launched the edgy, interactive DEBUNKIFY Mobile Tour. a retro van and road crew that will travel the state through July 2007 to help disprove common myths Ohio's youth and young adults hold about tobacco use. The tour kicked .off in Cleveland and will travel to more than 50 ci ties in Ohio. The DEBUNKIFY tour will make a local stop at the Spring Valley Cinemas in Gallipolis on Thursday, May 3I from I to 9 p.m. "When young people beiieve fal se information, they may make choices they wouldn't have if they knew the truth," said Todd Marquis, 27, from Columbus.

For instance, research found that Ohioans believe that a majority of people in Ohio smoke and that while secondhand smoke is dangerous, it's not deadly. The truth is Ohioans are betting their lives on information that is not true. According to 2005 prevalence rates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Co ntrol and .Prevention (C DC), nearly 80 percent of Ohioans do not smoke. The 1997 California Environmental Protection Agency's Health Effects of Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke reports that .every I 0 minutes, secondhand smoke kills a non-smoker. The most recent U.S. Surgeon General's report also confirmed "without a doubt" the deadly effects of seco ndhand smoke. "Young people are continually bombarded with information and advertisements," said Mike Renner, executive director of OTPF. "It's tough to decipher .the truth. But, stand has had huge success breaking through the clutter by reach ing youth on the ground face to face in their communities and backyards. "The DEBUNKIFY Mobile Tour is another con- centrated effort to reach young people in their own environment, through young adults to whom they can relate," he added. "The stand movement is about young people acting as role models to otht;r young peopie to help them make decisions on their own." Locally, Holzer Medical Center's Tobacco Prevention Program will host the tour.

Take your time. Don't think, ' We gotta go here, we gotta go there."' 4. Some parks allow coolers; soine don't. But there are other ways to economize on. food besides bringing it from home. · Sharing fries, a chicken basket or a foot -long sandwicb rather than buying small portions for each family member can help stretch the budget. Many parks sell an extralarge hard plastic souvenir drink cup with inexpensive refills. Do , the math; if you're there all day, it might be cheaper to buy one of these for $7.99 and get 99cent refills than five separate drinks for $2.99 each. Most parks will retill souvenir ' CliPS with ice and water for free. Some parks . offer meal deals. Umversal Hollywood has an All You Can Eat Pass - online price, $19.40 for guests over 48 inches tall. Disney also offers . dining plans. S. Take a break when the liries get too crazy or the sun is too hot. Most parks have musical revues or other shows, sometimes in air-conditioned theaters where you can sit ·· for awhile. A few parks offer mini-spas or massages; even little kids like the 25cent foot massa~e machines. An icy frUit smoothie or an ice cream mid-afternoon is often restorative; some parks have ~er or cocktails for adults. 6. Reduce whining and your expenses by seltiJ!& limits. It costs extra for arcade games, rock-climbing, bungee-jumping. karaoke, tattoos, hair-braiding and the like. You could say beforehand, "We're not doing anything . that isn't covered by the admission ticket." Or you could give each child $5 or $10 to ..spend at will, whether on a basketball-shooting game, a virtual reality ride or nail art. 7. Mom, dad, if you .don't love going on the rides you~:Self, just watch from the sidelines. Let older kids accompany younger kids while you chill on the bench or take ·pictures. Depending on their maturity, adolescents can usually be trusted to l\O' on rides with a friend or s1bling and then meet you back at an obvious place. Don't panic if they're late - they could be stuck on . a long line.

HARPAZ AP TRAVEL EDITOR NEW YORK - I consider myself an amusement park survivor. I've done Disney on two continents. boardwalks on both coasts. Busch Gardens. Hersheypark. Universal Hollywood. haumed Halloween nights. and Christmas at an indoor waterpark. I've accompanied a summer camp to Sesame Place and the eighth-grade trip to Six Rags. And despite . unbearable lines, whining children, unappealfng food and my own terror of roller coasters, I can honestly say there's no place I'd rather spend the day. Why 0 Because the kids always have so much fun . But along the way I've honed some adult survival techniques, and I've also gathered some ex pert advice. For every parent who is half-dreading visiting an amusement park this summer. here are seven tips for survival. l. Buy your tickets online. If you show up with ticket in hand, it's one less line to stand in at the park. Many parks also charge less for tickets bOught online. Other · ways to save money on admission: • If you're likely to go twice to the same park, it might be cheaper to buy a season pass than two oneday admission tickets. • If your family can tolerate a late night, look for discounts for late-day admission. At Cedar Point Amusement Park m Sandusky, Ohio, Starlight admission is $24.95 starting at 5 p.m. daily (4 p.m. when the park closes at 8 p.m.) compared with $41.95 for regular admission. Lines for rides are often shorter at night, and you ' re out of the heat of the sun. • Regional parks often run two-for-one admission coupons on soda cans, milk cartons etc., so keep your eyes open. 2. Don't spend hours of your precious day waiting Rides ·from Page 01 AP photo Young guests ride The Flying Fiddler at the new Shamu's Happy Harbor at SeaWorld Orlando, Thursday, in Orlando, Fla. From left: Summer Buffalo, 6, of Oklahoma City,- Okla.; Winter Buffalo, 5, of Oklahorr)'a City, Okla.; Riley Snyder, 6 of Palm Bay, Fla.; D.J. Baraket, 6, of Palm Bay, Fla.; and Jenna Hibbs, age 11, of Destin, Fla. Jhe Flying Rddler lifts riders 20 feet in the air and jostles them. The expansion of Happy Harbor includes the addition of ihree new rides. · . t in line. Arrive early before the j;ates open. Once you're ins1de, head to the biggest, newest and most popular attractions. That's where the worst lines will be later in the day. You can do more rides in the first 90 minutes that any park is open than you· can the rest . of the day. "A typical pattern for many people is, 'We' re on vacation, so we're going to sleep in.' Then they have breakfast. They get in the park at 10,)0:30. But if you can get there when the gates open, you· re going to have an hour with not a lot of lines and not a lot of peopie," said Christopher Elliott, host of Fine Living TV Network's new "What You Get for the Money: Vacations" show. Some people even "come early in the morning, stay until II or II :30, go off the property for lunch, hang out at a pool and come back for the evening shows," Elliott added. Some parks offer passes .that allow you to skip long lines. At Disney, the free · FastPass system issues timed tickets that bypass regular lines. Universal Orlando sells a limited number of Express· Plus passes each day, $15.99 to $55 .99, depend• ing on time of year and whether you're going to Universal Studios or also to Islands of Adventure. Guests of Universal Orlando resorts - the Hard Rock, Porto fino and Royal Pacific - . can use their hotel room cards to get free front-of-the-line access. At certain Six Flags parks, you can buy a Flash Pass to skip long lines. Pricing varies by park. 3. Do a little research, but don't overplan. Check out height restrictions to avoid disappointment among kids who may not be tall enough for big rides. Use Web sites and guidebl)oks to decide which rides or sections of the park you want to see, and in ~hat order. Consult a map of the park so you don't spend a lot of time backtrack mg. "When you're presented with that many options, it can lead to fatigue and. arguments," said David Downing, editor of the new Zagat "Wal\ Disney World Insider's Guide." "Don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the experience." On the other hand: Remember "this is riot a paramilitary operation," said Downing. "You don't have to do everything. One of my favorite things to do at Disney is to watch parents drag their kids from one ride to another. They're screaming, and nobody is having fun." That's especially true with young children, said Cedar Point spokesman in Vallejo, Calif., will now go by ."Six Flags Discovery Kingdom." The park is being split into themed areas uLand,'l.
