Walker, 28, had been compel· ing in a Toyota fielded by Bill Davis Racing. He is most known for his success in World of Outlaw sprint cars. "We agree with the vigilance that NASCAR is taking in this instance," said Davis in a statement.

Wha.t happens to Dale Earnhardt Inc. once Dale Earnhardt Jr. leaves? In many quarters, it's a topic of great pessimism. Martin Truex Jr. said he looks forward to becoming the team's top driver. "As we get to running better, I think before the year is out we could maybe win a few races, make the Chase, do a lot of things that are good for the company," said Truex. "Dale Jr. leaves, but it's not over. People keep saying it's over ... but we can go on , we can thrive and we can win races." • What? Me worry? Kasey Kahne, still struggling 13 races into the season, continued to accentuate the positive. "The cool thing about it is things can change so quickly," said Kahne, who won six races last year. "You just keep work· ing. (Friday) we qualified fourth. I felt like we were back to old times. Everything was good: practice, qualifying, the Busch car. Things can change so fast, and you can feel confi. dent and good whether you're 30th (32nd, actually) in poirits or fifth. You can feel good and your team can be really fast.

France once said: "Basically, we are the gov· emment in the little country of motOT· sports," and the country he ran wasn't democratic. Technically, the second-geperation patriarch of stock-car racing wasn't really "Bill Jr.," though that's what everyone called him. His father, the founder of NASCAR, was William Henry Getty France, and the son, one of two , was William Clifton France. The fa. ther, "Big Bill," lifted · the sport up by its boot· straps, and whim his faculties faded, the son, "Bill Jr.," took the busi· ness and made it an em· pire. In 2000, Bill Jr., health failing, turned the empire over first to Mike Helton, somewhat the family's consigliere, and eventually to a third generation, Brian Zachary France. For now, all bets are off. Like his father, Bill France Jr. was a rugged individualist. He was less the visionary and more the hard bargain· er, but both men were tyrannical and uncompromising. The second generation of racing's France Dynasty died on Monday at age 74, and the strain of conquering his own world probably wore on him as much as Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar in theirs. What Bill France wanted, Bill France got, and impending death was probably no tougher pill for him to.swallow than all the wear and tear that came with running • Hometown News for Gallia & Meigs countieS 400 • WINn: Texas Motor Speedway, Justin (1.5 miles), 167 lapS/250.5 Ul month. day after Dave Blaney failed tD make the field at Dover, owner Bill Davis fire<l his crew chief. ~A imt' • R.ce: Sam's Town I · inav will take over for now.

GALLIPOLIS - In the spring of 191 7, Gallia County resident Miss Francis Dunbar started the process of establi shing a local chapter of the ·American Red Cross to aid the war relief effort . Ninety years later, th e chapter is still operational, aiding victims of fl oods, fire and other di saster situa· ti ons . The ori ginal petition , signed by several leaders in the communit y incl ud· ing Charles E. Holzer, was dated May I , 19 17. On June 13, 1917. the Gallia County Ameri can Red Ooss was officiall y recogni zed and a dri ve for members was held. With help from Ohi o Valley Bank, which donated space for office and working quarters, and local telephone and electric companies who donated equipment and service, the chapter was up and running. By April 22, 1919, the chapter had made and shipped over 3,704 knitted garments, 5,057 hospital and refugee garments and 2,830 pounds of. used clothing to Di vision Headquarters fqr refugee relief. At the Chri stmas roll call in December 19 18, the chapter had 3,500 members. In 194 1, the Gallia County Red Cross stepped up again to suppon the ·war effort, both home and abroad. · At least two of the chapter's younger members traveled to England and the South Pac ific to serve as staff ass istants. In the dining room uf the Masonic Lodge, 305 workers made 562,265 . surgical dressings to be sent abroad and the chapter began taking classes in first aid, water safety arid knitting.

"The rock level prevented the food from burning and retained the heat and we suspect they could have covered the food with aromatic leaves such as sassafras to help spice up and season the food."

The team is relying on the stone artifacts to paint a picture of life in the Late Archaic Period without any clothing, bone or wood pieces to study.

"Last Thursday, my office was informed that' passports for a couple were being· sent express mail. Only one passport arrived in time for thetr scheduled . departure.

According to the website, the tracking of applications is taking up to a week, so travelers should start to the process as soon as possible. New York Rep. Thomas Reynolds said the proposal has been in discussion for weeks amid a "turf war" between State and Homeland Security. "White House personnel have seen the problem and they' ve been on Capitol Hill working with members," said Reynolds. New Mexico Rep.

' According to the U.S. Department of State, from October through April of FY 2007, the department issued 8.6 million passports.

Brown said his team is collecting the artifacts as well as curating the pieces which will eventually 'be donated to the Ohio Historical Society. Brown also hopes a local display will eventually emerge for the people in Meigs Co!lntY to study for themselves. The heart of the si te, in archeological terms, will be exempt from construction or excavation at this time. The parking lot was moved to preserve this "heart" which testing suggests may hold even more archeological treasures, or it could just be a cluster of ground hog holes showing up on ultrasound readings. However, with technologies improving every day, this portion of the site will be covered with an industrial · fabric similar to landscaping fabric used strictly for preservation for possible future excavation. The excavation crew has focused its energies on where the ramp will sit, which appears to be ip the middle of what a culture nearly 3,000 years ago called home. Brown said the site is unique because of not only the river, but Yellowbush Creek, which would have been two separate food sources. Brown, a graduate of Ohio S,tate Umversity, said he loves hi s job and believes in the motto "preservation through education." Beyond that, he said, it's a unique feeling to uncover an artifact and know you're the first human being to see it in maybe thousands of years. Brown and his team have around another two weeks of work left before the next phase of the project gets underway, which is likely construction of the ramp. The property and project itself belongs to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources which anticipates the ramp to be ready for use in spring 2008.

Only a business owner can ask a patron to comply with the Jaw, Marshall said, and the local health department will only visit businesses to enforce the law if a complaint is made to the state health department.

The law, approved by voters in November, prohibits smoking in all pqblic workplaces and in areas near business entrances.

Relief from PageA1 The Junior Red Cross and county-wide schools pitched in, and seventh and eighth graders started learning the craft of knitting. At the requesi of the National Chapter, I ,432 knitted articles were shipped to their destinations. Locally, the Gallia County American Red Cross has stepped in to aid victims of the 1937 flood that ravished Gallia County, feed residents during the Great American Depression and provide immediate relief to victims of housefires and tornados. · In 2006, the local chapter responded to 26 local emergencies such as house fires, assisted 41 military families and trained I, I 00 people in lifesaving skills, such as CPR and first aid. On Tuesday, June 5, Gallipolis City Commissioners recognized the work of the local Red Cross chapter with a procla- mation naming June 13, 2007 as Gallia County Red Cross Day. To celebrate its anniversary, the local chapter will . hold an open house on Wednesday, June 13 from II a.m. to I p.m. at its office, located at 444 Second Ave., Gallipolis.

"They would build a fire and Jet it bum dowQ to a bell of coals then place a layer of rocks on the coals and then put meat and vegetables on top of that and cover it with green leaves.or earth to hold in the heat and bake the food," Brown explai ned. "The rock level prevented the food from burning and retained the heat and we suspect they could have covered the food with aromatic leaves such as sassafras to help spice up and season the food." Also fo und were two clusters of what Brown called a "very distinct cupstone" located near the feature of the earth oven. These two features are estimated to be around I,000 years old, long before ~ nyone decided to call the area "Racine." Passpol1 from PageA1 will hopefully serve as a Jesson as we stare down the January 2008 deadline requiring passports for land and sea travel between the United States, Canada and Mexico. While Congress has provided the administration with the flexibility to extend the deadline for land and sea travel until June I, 2009, they continue to insist on the January deadline. "I will work to ensure they reconsider if it looks like what happened this ·summer becomes a possibility this winter," he added. Voinovich, in a letter to Secretary · of State Condoleezza Rice, stated his belief that the state department has lost control of the situation and many of his constituents are having to change ·original travel plans because of the new requirements. According to th~ letter, the daily call volume of Ohioans seeking passport Page.A2 Photo courtesy of EMH&T This might look like just a pile of rocks to the untrained eye, but it was actually an earth oven used probably 1,000 years ago by people living near Racine in the Late Archaic Period. Also found from the Late Archaic Period are fire pits, trash pits and a nutting · stone which is a rock with an indentation the size of a quarter pounded into it's surface for grinding nuts or processing plants. The team is relying on the stone artifacts to paint a picture of life in the Late Archaic Period without any clothing, bone or wood pieces to study. At this time they have excavated around 2- 1/2 feet off the surface and are using a 25-squarefoot grid system to test the assistance has jumped from 76 calls in 2006 to nearly 1,000 as of June 7. "Last Thursday, my office was informed that' passports for a couple were being· sent express mail. Only one passport arrived in time for thetr scheduled . departure. In a follow-up call, my office was informed that the second passport was never sent," Voinovich informed Rice. Many travelers who are still waiting for their passports and wondering if their long-planned vacations will take place, can now breathe a sigh of relief. Under the proposal, trav- . elers would have to present a State Department receipt, which can be obtained at· www.state.travel.gov, and ~overnment issued photo Identification. According to the website, the tracking of applications is taking up to a week, so travelers should start to the process as soon as possible. New York Rep. Thomas Reynolds said the proposal has been in discussion for weeks amid a "turf war" between State and Homeland Security. "White House personnel have seen the problem and they' ve been on Capitol Hill working with members," said Reynolds. New Mexico Rep. Heather Wilson, who first urged the State Department to lift the rule last month said, "To say people must have a passport to travel and not give a passport is right u~ there in the stupid column. ' According to the U.S. Department of State, from October through April of FY 2007, the department issued 8.6 million passports. This is a 33 percent increase from the same period last year and is more passports than were issued in any single full year before 2003. Gallia County Clerk of Courts Noreen Saunders and Meigs County Clerk of Courts Marlene Harrison said their offices would be willing help Gallia and Meigs residents who do not have Internet access with the process of obtaining proof of .application from the Department of State. (The Associated Press contributed to this story.) Sunday,Juneto,2007 site. This grid system are pits which have been dug about two feel deep on the grid of earth. . Brown said his team is collecting the artifacts as well as curating the pieces which will eventually 'be donated to the Ohio Historical Society. Brown also hopes a local display will eventually emerge for the people in Meigs Co!lntY to study for themselves. The heart of the si te, in archeological terms, will be exempt from construction or excavation at this time. The parking lot was moved to preserve this "heart" which testing suggests may hold even more archeological treasures, or it could just be a cluster of ground hog holes showing up on ultrasound readings. However, with technologies improving every day, this portion of the site will be covered with an industrial · fabric similar to landscaping fabric used strictly for preservation for possible future excavation. The excavation crew has focused its energies on where the ramp will sit, which appears to be ip the middle of what a culture nearly 3,000 years ago called home. Brown said the site is unique because of not only the river, but Yellowbush Creek, which would have been two separate food sources. Brown, a graduate of Ohio S,tate Umversity, said he loves hi s job and believes in the motto "preservation through education." Beyond that, he said, it's a unique feeling to uncover an artifact and know you're the first human being to see it in maybe thousands of years. Brown and his team have around another two weeks of work left before the next phase of the project gets underway, which is likely construction of the ramp. The property and project itself belongs to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources which anticipates the ramp to be ready for use in spring 2008. Smoking department is provided some latitude in enforcement, and said he has been meeting with owners who are subjects of complaints to encourage compliance before official warnings and fines are issued. First and second offenses are answered with letters· and telephone calls from the health department. After a third offense, the business owner is called before the board of health, and a fine can be impo-sed. Only a business owner can ask a patron to comply with the Jaw, Marshall said, and the local health department will only visit businesses to enforce the law if a complaint is made to the state health department. There will be no "spot checks" or surprise visits by health department staff to ensure compliance. from PageA1 also imposes $100 fine s against smokers who refuse to comply when asked to do so by the business owner.

The bookstores are chock full of authors declaring that "God Is Not Great," that God is a "Delusion," that you are a moron if you believe irl the Deity. The secular press, of ·course, loves these books, and the reviews are largely admirable. Some of the books are also selling very nicely, as it's been a long time since atheists had much to cheer about. Polls show that about 90 percent of Americans believe in God , but that leaves 30 million folks who just say no to a hi gher power. If only one percent of that group buys a certain anti-God book, you have a best seller. But the atheist chic trend is not just on the page. Hollywood is involved as well. · According ·to the book "Celebrities in Hell." a number of big st.ars may be aligned with the universe, but not with the force that some believe created it. The book quotes the following: · • George Clooney: 'T don 't believe in heaven ·or hell. 1 don 't know if L Bill O'Reilly believe in God." • Angelina Jolie: "There doesn't need to be a God for me." • Carrie Fisher: . "I love the idea of God, but it's not stylistically in keeping with the way I function." . Indeed . Believing in God is not very stylish in mainstream media circles these days. The question then becomes is there anything wrong with that? After all. we have freedom from religion in America - the Constitution makes it clear that no power in this country has th e right to impose religion on anyone. So the atheists have clear sailing, and I say: Thank God. That's because people of faith should be challenged and think about their beliefs. Critical thinking in all areas makes the mind sharper, and your philosophy stronger~ Thus, I was looking forward to debating the most successfu l of the atheist authors, Richard Dawkins, who wrote the best seller "The God Delusion." Dawkins basically says that science can explain everything on earth, and no one has any direct evidence there is a God. But I stopped him in the fourth round with this right hook: "(the earth) had to come from somewhere. And that is the leap of faith you guys (atheists) make, that it just somehow happened." Dawkins replied: "You' re the one who needs a leap of faith, the onus is on you to say why you believe in something ... you believe in, presumably, the Christian God Jesus." "Jesus is a real guy," I said. "I know what he did. I'm not positive that Jesus is God, but I'm throwing in with him rather than throwing in· with you guys, because you guys can't tell me how it all got here." "We're working on it," Dawkins said. "When you get it," I shot back, "maybe I'll listen." . But the atheists will never get it. The universe and the earth is so complex, so incredibly detailed, that to believe an accidental evolutionary occurrence could have exclusively led to the nature/mankind situation we have now, is some stretch of the imagination. I mean, call me crazy, but the sun always comes up, whi I~ man oversleeps all the time. So bless you, Richard Dawkins, and all the other non-believers. As long as they don't attack people of faith, I have .no problem with them. As my eighthgrade teacher Sister Martin once said: ~'Faith is a gift." But not everybody gets to open the box.

Locked in the laboratories of the Virginia Tech building where 3 l people died are the keys to its future - for its graduate students and for the engineering program itself. Uni\'ersity officials announced this week they will reopen Norris Hall this month to allow engineering programs witb offices ·and laboratories there to return to work, although no classes will be held in the building again. The building had been locked and barricaded with a chain-link fence since April 16. when student Seung-Hui Cho shot 30 people and himself in its classrooms after ·killing two in a dormitory.

Graduate student Nathan Post had· tests under way in Norris on the durability of a lightweight composite material the U.S. Navy is preparing to use in ship hulls. He said Friday he may not be able to complete his doctorate in December as planned because of the delay. "I am so far behind schedule now that I am not sure if it will be possible," said Post, of Barnard. Vt. Virginia Tech announ ced after the shootings that students would .not be requi red Unda 'lhOmas Crabtree to finish coursework or take final exams for the spring se me~ter. but Puri said stalled research can't simply b.; fnrgiv~n because "it's the core of the degree." In the future, he said, ·'there are questions that can be raised about the quality of your degree, the integrity of your program." A number of the engineering graduate students depend on grants and contracts for financial support, Puri said. Such awards are based on ideas that are generated as research is conducted. "In order to be competitive, you've got to be able to show you can do the work and you've got to generate the Ideas," he said. After the shootings, in which Cho also shot two students in a dormitory, dozens of faculty members, students, alumni and others contacted the school with suggestions for use of Norris Hall, ranging from retumin~ it to classrooms to makin~ tt a memorial to knocking n down. Puri said his goal was to get his faculty and students back to work, whether in Norris or somewhere else. Had the university decided to tear down Norris Hall and rebuild, he said, it could have taken at least three years to get his . department going again. The decision to reopen Norris was not purely pragmatic, Puri said. "It's a deci" sion that's been made to ensure the survival of the program." Puri said he e~pects many students arid faculty mem~ bers to feel unsettled in Norris at first. He wants the entire building refurbished so the recent repainting of walls and replacement of ceilings and floors in ~ classroom wing where students and faculty members died will not be a constant reminder of the attack. "The tragedy is our building was violated," Puri said.' , 'We lost friends. We lost c;olleagues." Of tlmse killed, II students and three professors were in The College of Engineerin~. Still, Puri and Post srud returning to the laboratories wil l help students and staff with their emotional healing.

"We are extremely pleased lhat this dedicated physician honored us w1th his attendance,'' said Dr. Agnes Enrico-Simon, president of the Mason County Medical Society. "By working together and $haring ideas, healthcare professionals across the state can partner .to provide the highest quality, most personalized care possible," she added.

With more than 2,700 members, the West Virginia State Medical Association serves the largest number of physicians in the state. Members consist of medical and osteopathic physicians in every range of specialty. "I strongly encourage physicians to be involved. not only· through thei r state and county mepical soci eties, but within their communities," said Selby. "Some of the best ways to do that is to participate in many civic and educational activities." · FORT WORTH, Texas Cindy Sheehan will sell her war protest si te neH r President Bush's ranch to a California radio talk show host, who will preserve it as a peace· memorial, her spokeswoman said.

"Cindy is happy the land is going to be used for something positive," Burns said. "But Cindy does no t plan . to have a continued presence there." · A telephone message left Friday with Walker, a former TV news anchorwoman who hosts a weekend talk show on KTLK-AM in Los Angeles, was not immediately returned. Burns said Sheehan has been a guest on Walker's show several times and that Walker supports Sheehan. Sheehan initially planned to .sell the land on eBay with an $80,000 starting bid but scrapped the idea after ge ttin g an offer frorn Walker, Burns said.

The bookstores are chock full of authors declaring that "God Is Not Great," that God is a "Delusion," that you are a moron if you believe irl the Deity. The secular press, of ·course, loves these books, and the reviews are largely admirable. Some of the books are also selling very nicely, as it's been a long time since atheists had much to cheer about. Polls show that about 90 percent of Americans believe in God , but that leaves 30 million folks who just say no to a hi gher power. If only one percent of that group buys a certain anti-God book, you have a best seller. But the atheist chic trend is not just on the page. Hollywood is involved as well. · According ·to the book "Celebrities in Hell." a number of big st.ars may be aligned with the universe, but not with the force that some believe created it. The book quotes the following: · • George Clooney: 'T don 't believe in heaven ·or hell. 1 don 't know if L Bill O'Reilly believe in God." • Angelina Jolie: "There doesn't need to be a God for me." • Carrie Fisher: . "I love the idea of God, but it's not stylistically in keeping with the way I function." . Indeed . Believing in God is not very stylish in mainstream media circles these days. The question then becomes is there anything wrong with that? After all. we have freedom from religion in America - the Constitution makes it clear that no power in this country has th e right to impose religion on anyone. So the atheists have clear sailing, and I say: Thank God. That's because people of faith should be challenged and think about their beliefs. Critical thinking in all areas makes the mind sharper, and your philosophy stronger~ Thus, I was looking forward to debating the most successfu l of the atheist authors, Richard Dawkins, who wrote the best seller "The God Delusion." Dawkins basically says that science can explain everything on earth, and no one has any direct evidence there is a God. But I stopped him in the fourth round with this right hook: "(the earth) had to come from somewhere. And that is the leap of faith you guys (atheists) make, that it just somehow happened." Dawkins replied: "You' re the one who needs a leap of faith, the onus is on you to say why you believe in something ... you believe in, presumably, the Christian God Jesus." "Jesus is a real guy," I said. "I know what he did. I'm not positive that Jesus is God, but I'm throwing in with him rather than throwing in· with you guys, because you guys can't tell me how it all got here." "We're working on it," Dawkins said. "When you get it," I shot back, "maybe I'll listen." . But the atheists will never get it. The universe and the earth is so complex, so incredibly detailed, that to believe an accidental evolutionary occurrence could have exclusively led to the nature/mankind situation we have now, is some stretch of the imagination. I mean, call me crazy, but the sun always comes up, whi I~ man oversleeps all the time. So bless you, Richard Dawkins, and all the other non-believers. As long as they don't attack people of faith, I have .no problem with them. As my eighthgrade teacher Sister Martin once said: ~'Faith is a gift." But not everybody gets to open the box.

Locked in the laboratories of the Virginia Tech building where 3 l people died are the keys to its future - for its graduate students and for the engineering program itself. Uni\'ersity officials announced this week they will reopen Norris Hall this month to allow engineering programs witb offices ·and laboratories there to return to work, although no classes will be held in the building again.

Graduate student Nathan Post had· tests under way in Norris on the durability of a lightweight composite material the U.S. Navy is preparing to use in ship hulls. He said Friday he may not be able to complete his doctorate in December as planned because of the delay. "I am so far behind schedule now that I am not sure if it will be possible," said Post, of Barnard. Vt.

In the future, he said, ·'there are questions that can be raised about the quality of your degree, the integrity of your program." A number of the engineering graduate students depend on grants and contracts for financial support, Puri said. Such awards are based on ideas that are generated as research is conducted. "In order to be competitive, you've got to be able to show you can do the work and you've got to generate the Ideas," he said. After the shootings, in which Cho also shot two students in a dormitory, dozens of faculty members, students, alumni and others contacted the school with suggestions for use of Norris Hall, ranging from retumin~ it to classrooms to makin~ tt a memorial to knocking n down. Puri said his goal was to get his faculty and students back to work, whether in Norris or somewhere else. Had the university decided to tear down Norris Hall and rebuild, he said, it could have taken at least three years to get his . department going again. The decision to reopen Norris was not purely pragmatic, Puri said. "It's a deci" sion that's been made to ensure the survival of the program." Puri said he e~pects many students arid faculty mem~ bers to feel unsettled in Norris at first. He wants the entire building refurbished so the recent repainting of walls and replacement of ceilings and floors in ~ classroom wing where students and faculty members died will not be a constant reminder of the attack. "The tragedy is our building was violated," Puri said.' , 'We lost friends. We lost c;olleagues." Of tlmse killed, II students and three professors were in The College of Engineerin~. Still, Puri and Post srud returning to the laboratories wil l help students and staff with their emotional healing.

Press Ganey's databases, the largest of their ki nd in the world, are powerful tools that a standalone survey ca n not offer. Surveys through Press Ganey are research-based and tested, and provide an accurate and ·appropriate measure of customer satisfaction, offering clients the opportunity to benchmark their res ults . with peer organi zations. ·, HMC began using Press Ganey surveys in the mid: 1990s. Surveys are mailed to patients a few days after discharge, and cover a variety of questions regarding their stay. Patients can rank from I (very poor) to 5 (very good). and are able to fnclude written comments if they desire. Comparable results and percentile ratings are reported to Holier Medical Center quarterly. The hospital reviews the resu lts and shares with staff throughout the faci lity to improve patient care and satisfaction. The recent ratings were announced at the hospital's monthly leadership meeting in May. "I am ecstatic and extremely proud of the wonderful group of women who work on our Obstetrics (Maternity) Unit," said Terri Brown, RNC, MSN, patient care · manager of the Maternity and Family Center at HMC. "Our nurses continually provide outstanding care to our patients and do whatever possible to meet their every need," . she added.

Most people are more likely to get out and move in the summer - why not, with warmer weather and longer hours of daylight? That said, how many calories you ' re burning depends on a number of things. The major factor is body size: Larger bodies require more calories for any sort of acti vi ty than smaller bodies. So, a 220pound person wi ll burn more calories doing the same thing. as a 120-pound person. How much of an effort you're putting in also mdkes a difference. More strenuous activity burns more calories than less-demanding movement. You can ger estimates of how many calories you· re burning by doing different activities by entering your weight into various online calculators.

Much of your calorie burning depends · on your basal metabolic rate - how many calories you burn at rest. And that depends on a lot of things: your age (younger people tend to burn more calories than younger folks); your sex (men tend to burn more calories than women) ; your overall, everyday activity level (the more active you are, the . more calories your body burns); your proportion of muscle mass to fat (the .

Most people are more likely to get out and move in the summer - why not, with warmer weather and longer hours of daylight? That said, how many calories you ' re burning depends on a number of things. The major factor is body size: Larger bodies require more calories for any sort of acti vi ty than smaller bodies.

And that depends on a lot of things: your age (younger people tend to burn more calories than younger folks); your sex (men tend to burn more calories than women) ; your overall, everyday activity level (the more active you are, the . more calories your body burns); your proportion of muscle mass to fat (the .

BvANNE WALLACE ALLEN FOR THE ASSOC IATED PRESS When it comes to organizing, some people are filers. and some people are pilers, and some are a little of both. One isn't be tier than the other, say the professional organizers who free their clients from clutter without passing judgment Instead, It's a matter of simply learning how .to place your belongings so you .can.find them again when you need them. "There's a big misconception out there that being organized is an inherited trait. It's really not," said • Barry Izsak, who is so organized that he's president of the National Association of Professional Organi ze rs (NAPO) and author of an organizing how-to book. "It's a learned behavior." ~p photo said Izsak, who lives in A store employee stacks Woven Tribeca bins and boxes at Au stin, Texas.

Business is great these days for organizing professionals, as well as the suppliers of organizing tools like clear plastic boxes, automobile-visor CD holders, and drawer partitions. One reason is that we have a lot to organize. More than ever, "we' re consumers," said Audrey Robertson, public relations director at the Container Store, which carries I0,000 organizing products and made $505 million last year. The company has 39 stores across the country and is opening two more this year. "There's a lot out there right now about simplifying your life and stream li ning your possessions, but when it comes down to it, it's hard to get rid of y!'mr things:· Robertson said.

Invasive bam· boo-like plants that grow taller than adults have choked out native plants in a m11rsh that once teemed with life along Lake Erie. APphoto ,_lovers want·•rseries BY JOHN SEEWER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TOLEDO - .Bamboolike plants that grow taller than adults have choked out native plants in a marsh that once teemed with life along Lake Erie. Wild flowers have disappeared. Migrating birds have gone elsewhere . . The parkland has changed so much that Dana Bollin, the naturalist at Maumee Bay State Park, no longer leads tours along its boardwalk. "I hate to spend an hour talking about invasive plants," she said. In Michigan, exotic plant species are destroying or threatening habitats along sand dunes. In florida, swamps are a target. Environmental groups hope to slow the spread by persuading nurseries to stop selling invasive plants and promote native species. In California, a partnership of nursery owners and environmental leaders is working on a campaign called "Plant Right" that wiii roll out early next year and give gardeners bro.chures to help them find native plants suited for their regtons. Florida's highway department announced last fall it will stop . planting invasive plants along its roads. Big-box retailer Meijer Inc. announced in March it is removing two i.nvasive trees - Norway maple and Lombardy poplar - from its stores in Mtchigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Only a small percentage of plants sold in nurseries are troublemakers that crowd out other plants and rob animals of their food sources. But environmental groups · 11•sellilll invasiVI . . - say these non-native plants Meijer spokeswoman Stacie can end up in the hands of Behler. gardeners or landscapers A few states, including who·only later find out how Connecticut, Massachusetts quickly they can take over a and New Hampshire, have backyard. banned the sale of dozens of Some invasives, like invasive plants.

And choose "wrinkly" berries over taut, shiny ones. The wrinkled ones have lost some water, which concentrates their sweetness. · When serving the berries, go counterintuitive: instead of sugar, try salt or someti:Iing sour. Dip them into a balsamic vinegar reduction or roasted walnut oil, which will contrast their flavor. Or tos.s them like tomatoes with a spicy arugula salad. Or if you are hankering for something sweet, throw a handful of berries into the blender with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cool the day with a fresh strawberry ·milk shake.

The industry also recognizes how. fast these problem plants have spread and how much is being spent to control them. 'There's no denying that some of the plant material we've sold over the years have become problems," said Bob Falconer, el\ecutive vice president of the California Association of Nurseries and Garden Centers. Many · nursery owners now believe there are some P.lants that shouldn't be sold tf money is being spent to eradicate those plants from natural areas, he said. "Everyone's becoming a little greener," Falconer said. The federal government spent $631 million dealing with invasive plants and animals in 2000, according to a U.S. General Accounting Office report. California, Florida and Hawaii - states where plants thrive - have big problems · with the invaders. Florida spent $54 million in 1999 ·on trying to control non-native plants, the GAO report said.

At the.market: Strawberries ' The warm weather brings a bounty of fresh summer fruit, and strawberries are among the first. Supermarket berries, which come almost exclusively from California, peak in early July. Local berries will be staggered through early · summer by region.

Invasive bam· boo-like plants that grow taller than adults have choked out native plants in a m11rsh that once teemed with life along Lake Erie. APphoto ,_lovers want·•rseries BY JOHN SEEWER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TOLEDO - .Bamboolike plants that grow taller than adults have choked out native plants in a marsh that once teemed with life along Lake Erie. Wild flowers have disappeared. Migrating birds have gone elsewhere . . The parkland has changed so much that Dana Bollin, the naturalist at Maumee Bay State Park, no longer leads tours along its boardwalk. "I hate to spend an hour talking about invasive plants," she said. In Michigan, exotic plant species are destroying or threatening habitats along sand dunes. In florida, swamps are a target. Environmental groups hope to slow the spread by persuading nurseries to stop selling invasive plants and promote native species. In California, a partnership of nursery owners and environmental leaders is working on a campaign called "Plant Right" that wiii roll out early next year and give gardeners bro.chures to help them find native plants suited for their regtons. Florida's highway department announced last fall it will stop . planting invasive plants along its roads. Big-box retailer Meijer Inc. announced in March it is removing two i.nvasive trees - Norway maple and Lombardy poplar - from its stores in Mtchigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Only a small percentage of plants sold in nurseries are troublemakers that crowd out other plants and rob animals of their food sources. But environmental groups · 11•sellilll invasiVI . . - say these non-native plants Meijer spokeswoman Stacie can end up in the hands of Behler. gardeners or landscapers A few states, including who·only later find out how Connecticut, Massachusetts quickly they can take over a and New Hampshire, have backyard. banned the sale of dozens of Some invasives, like invasive plants.

And choose "wrinkly" berries over taut, shiny ones. The wrinkled ones have lost some water, which concentrates their sweetness. · When serving the berries, go counterintuitive: instead of sugar, try salt or someti:Iing sour. Dip them into a balsamic vinegar reduction or roasted walnut oil, which will contrast their flavor. Or tos.s them like tomatoes with a spicy arugula salad. Or if you are hankering for something sweet, throw a handful of berries into the blender with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cool the day with a fresh strawberry ·milk shake.

The industry also recognizes how. fast these problem plants have spread and how much is being spent to control them. 'There's no denying that some of the plant material we've sold over the years have become problems," said Bob Falconer, el\ecutive vice president of the California Association of Nurseries and Garden Centers. Many · nursery owners now believe there are some P.lants that shouldn't be sold tf money is being spent to eradicate those plants from natural areas, he said. "Everyone's becoming a little greener," Falconer said. The federal government spent $631 million dealing with invasive plants and animals in 2000, according to a U.S. General Accounting Office report. California, Florida and Hawaii - states where plants thrive - have big problems · with the invaders. Florida spent $54 million in 1999 ·on trying to control non-native plants, the GAO report said.

At the.market: Strawberries ' The warm weather brings a bounty of fresh summer fruit, and strawberries are among the first. Supermarket berries, which come almost exclusively from California, peak in early July. Local berries will be staggered through early · summer by region. But certain principles for selecting, enjoying and stor-· ing strawberries remain true all season. When buying berries, choose those with a little white shoulder around the top, says Watsonville, Calif. , grower Erik Jertberg.
