(AP) - The Herald-Dispatch will stay intact and be allowed newsroom independence after it's acquired later this summer, a Champion Industries Inc. executive said Friday. "We don't foresee a lot of changes at this point because they've been a very successful organization," Champion President and Chief Operating Officer Tony Adkins said. The Huntington newspaper has a daily circulation of about 28,000 and a Sunday circulation of 33,000. Champion also plans a hands-off approach to editorial decisions, Adkins said. "Pat Frantz the publisher is staying on with us and Pat will be running all that." Champion agreed to buy the newspaper from Fainnont, . N.Y.-based Gatehouse Media for $77 million in a deal revealed Thursday. It will be the sec. ond sale this year for the ; paper. Gatehouse, which has :87 daily publications, acquued The HeraldDispatch and three other papers from McLean, Va.based newspaper giant Gimnett Co. in April. Buying a news~r represents a bit of .a change of direction for Champion. The Huntington-based company is a commercial printer and sells office fumirure to businesses. It has operations in lndiaJlll, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Tennessee and West Vuginia. The deal offers at once similarities and the chance to diversify, Adkins said. · And so far, he believes shaneholders agree. "'The ones I've heard from h.ave a!! been real excited," Adkins said. The deal, which requires regulatory approval, is expected to close before the end of August Champion's stock fell I cent, or0.14 percent, to $7.14, Friday morning.

Card shower passed away a few months ago, after a short but intense battle with lung cancer. Dad was a single father with no health insurance and less than $3,000 in savings. After his money ran out, my fiance and I stepped in and drained what we'd been saving for our wedding and a house, . while we waited for Dad to become eligible for Medicaid. When it came time to pay for his funeral,' our money was long gone and my brothers (ages 19 and 20 both in the military) had used up their meager savings in order to come home and spend time with Dad before he died . So I put the funeral costs on my credit card, which maxed me out. I have no regrets, but I am angry with Dad's mother and sisters. They are all fully aware that Dad left no money and that I am a broke college .student. De spite this, they did not help out one bit with his funeral. Not even flowers. .And it's not because they can't afford it. My grandmother is sitting on more money than she could ever spend, and one of my aunts earns more than a quarter of a million dollars a year. My relatives were all on good terms with Dad and me . Am I right to be upset? Would it be inappropriate to tell them how financially strained I am (although I' m sure they know) and ask for help? - Hurt, Grieving and Broke Dear Hurt: We don 't understand w~y your relatives did not offer to help defray the costs of the funeral, although it's poss i- ble they assumed you might be insulted and were waiting for you to ask. If you need financial assistance now, it's perfectly OK to approach the family for help. Of course, be prepared for the possibility that they will consider this a loan with interest, or turn you down entirely. Dear Annie: "Bewildered Gram," who suspects her daughter-in-law is stealing from her, should buy one of those fluorescent dye powders availabl~ on the market. The powder is sprinkled onto an item, and if anyone touches it, their hands will glow when exposed, to UV light. I once suspected a fami ly member of stealing from my wallet, so I used the powder and exposed the culprit. -The Enforcer Dear Enforcer: We 're glad this worked for you, but we don't recommend lighting up your relative s.

(AP) - The Herald-Dispatch will stay intact and be allowed newsroom independence after it's acquired later this summer, a Champion Industries Inc. executive said Friday. "We don't foresee a lot of changes at this point because they've been a very successful organization," Champion President and Chief Operating Officer Tony Adkins said. The Huntington newspaper has a daily circulation of about 28,000 and a Sunday circulation of 33,000. Champion also plans a hands-off approach to editorial decisions, Adkins said. "Pat Frantz the publisher is staying on with us and Pat will be running all that." Champion agreed to buy the newspaper from Fainnont, . N.Y.-based Gatehouse Media for $77 million in a deal revealed Thursday. It will be the sec. ond sale this year for the ; paper. Gatehouse, which has :87 daily publications, acquued The HeraldDispatch and three other papers from McLean, Va.based newspaper giant Gimnett Co. in April. Buying a news~r represents a bit of .a change of direction for Champion. The Huntington-based company is a commercial printer and sells office fumirure to businesses. It has operations in lndiaJlll, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Tennessee and West Vuginia. The deal offers at once similarities and the chance to diversify, Adkins said. · And so far, he believes shaneholders agree. "'The ones I've heard from h.ave a!! been real excited," Adkins said. The deal, which requires regulatory approval, is expected to close before the end of August Champion's stock fell I cent, or0.14 percent, to $7.14, Friday morning.

Card shower passed away a few months ago, after a short but intense battle with lung cancer. Dad was a single father with no health insurance and less than $3,000 in savings. After his money ran out, my fiance and I stepped in and drained what we'd been saving for our wedding and a house, . while we waited for Dad to become eligible for Medicaid. When it came time to pay for his funeral,' our money was long gone and my brothers (ages 19 and 20 both in the military) had used up their meager savings in order to come home and spend time with Dad before he died . So I put the funeral costs on my credit card, which maxed me out. I have no regrets, but I am angry with Dad's mother and sisters. They are all fully aware that Dad left no money and that I am a broke college .student. De spite this, they did not help out one bit with his funeral. Not even flowers. .And it's not because they can't afford it. My grandmother is sitting on more money than she could ever spend, and one of my aunts earns more than a quarter of a million dollars a year. My relatives were all on good terms with Dad and me . Am I right to be upset? Would it be inappropriate to tell them how financially strained I am (although I' m sure they know) and ask for help? - Hurt, Grieving and Broke Dear Hurt: We don 't understand w~y your relatives did not offer to help defray the costs of the funeral, although it's poss i- ble they assumed you might be insulted and were waiting for you to ask. If you need financial assistance now, it's perfectly OK to approach the family for help. Of course, be prepared for the possibility that they will consider this a loan with interest, or turn you down entirely. Dear Annie: "Bewildered Gram," who suspects her daughter-in-law is stealing from her, should buy one of those fluorescent dye powders availabl~ on the market. The powder is sprinkled onto an item, and if anyone touches it, their hands will glow when exposed, to UV light. I once suspected a fami ly member of stealing from my wallet, so I used the powder and exposed the culprit. -The Enforcer Dear Enforcer: We 're glad this worked for you, but we don't recommend lighting up your relative s.

Today's Highlight in History: On July I, 1946, the United States exploded a 20-kiloton atomic bomb near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. On this date: In 1863, the Ci vii War Battle of Gettysburg, resulting in a Union victory, began in Pennsylvania. In 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain as the British North America Act took effect. In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, U.S. forces, including Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders," waged a victorious assault on San Juan Hill in Cuba. In 1932, New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for president at the Democratic convention in Chicago. In 1957, the fntemational Geophysical Year, an 18-month global scientific study, began. In 1961, Diana, the princess of Wales, was born in Sandringharn, England. (She died in a 1997 car crash in Paris at age 36.) · In 1980, "0 Canada" was proclaimed the national anthem of Canada. · In I 987, President Ronald Reagan nominated federal appeals court judge Robert Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court, setting off a tempestuous confirmation process that ended with Bork's rejection by the Senate. In 1991 , President Bush nominated federal appeals court judge Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, beginning an ultimately successful confirmation process marked by allegations of sexual harassment. Ten years ago: Hong Kong reverted to Chinese rule after 156 years as a British colony. . Five years ago: The world's first permanent war crimes tribunal came into existence. A U.S. Air Force gunship attacked several villages in Afghanistan, killing 48 civilians, according to Afghan officials~ A Russian passenger jet collided with a cargo plane over southern Ge;:ny, k1lling all 69 people on the Russian plane, and rthe t o ·argo jet pilots. Chile's Supreme Court ruled that fo er dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet was suffering from dementia and dropped all charges against him for human rights violations during his regime. One year ago: Thunderstorms forced NASA to call off the launch of Discovery, delaying the first space shuttle night in a year. (Discovery was launched three days later, on July 4.) A huile car bomb exploded at a bustling outdoor market in a Shiite district of Baghdad, killing more than 60 people. Today's Birthdays: Actress Olivia de Havilland 1s 91. Actor Farley Granger is 82.

Eve·n though the civil' rights movement had won ~orne tough victories down south, and Vietnam dissension was heating up, most Americans were still tied to the traditional values of their parents. For example, in' my heavily ethnic neighborhood of Levittown, N.Y., if an unmarried girl got pregnant, it was a huge scandal. Rarely was abortion even discussed because most of us were Catholic. The yQung girl usually got married to the father quickly and quietly. This happened to my cousin and two of my friends. An unwanted pregnancy was a major deal. Drugs, also, were· not acceptable. Addicts were shunned like lepers, and even marijuana was considered way out of bounds. In 1967, while some of my high school friends were drinking beer whenever they could, nobody in my crowd was even thinking Bill O'Reilly about dope. But out in San Francisc·o, the "Summer of Love" w~s unfolding. Young people streamed into that city and congre' gated in the parks, where t~ey were introduced to pot and hallucinogenic drugs by local dealers. According to a recent series of reports by the San Francisco Chronicle, thous,ands of young Americans spent the summer stoned and having sex with a variety of their compatriots. This led to an epidemic of overdose situations and social disease problems. The press, however, did not concentrate on those negatives. Instead, the media immediately branded the Summer of Love crew as "hippies" and pro- Obituaries · claimed the .era of "flower power," thereby creating a glamorous subculture . The glorification and marketing of that subculture 40 years ago swept the nation and remains with us today. Almost immediatel y, the music industry hopped on the hippie bandwagon, and rebellious, drug-addled pop stars soared up, the charts. The names are now iGons: Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison. Slick, Garcia, and ·so on. No question, the summer of love changed America's ;tttitudes towards drugs, sex. and rock 'n' roll. The unintended consequences of that SIJmmer ar~ staggering. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison all died at age 27 from drug and/or alCohol activity. Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead lasted longer, but hi s heroin intake ultimately did him in. All told, the damage the drug scourge has done to America is incalculable. But you'd never know that by the media, which generally continues to glorify our permissive culture. There's little mention that H~me 70 percen1 of African Ameri'can babies are now born out-of-wedlock, while the overall birth rate outside of marriage has gone from eight percent 40 years ago. to -37 percent · today. Single mom homes, of course, are the major driver of poverty in America. So, call me a fogy, but I' m not real nostalgic about the Summer of Love. I like the music it et)gen· dered, but you can have the acid trips and the poor hygiene. Certainly, love is a good thing in any season. But it must be accompanied by responsibility to truly flower.

Hop around on their -compurer keyboard and spell out the words, "I am experiencing distress"? · No, we don't really know what the frog was feeling; this is why we should be skeptical about the scienlists' claim, as reported in the AP story, that "there is no reason" why this same magnetic technique could not be used on "larger creatures, even humans." Before we start exposing human beings to extremely powerful magnetic fields, we should conduct extensi ve laboratory tests on Richard Simmons. Bu1 if magnetic levitation really turns out 10 be safe , I think it could have some important "real world" applica. tions: I. Geuing children out of bed on school mornings. Scientists calculate that the attraction between a child and his or her bed on a school morning can be up 1o 75 times as strong as mere gravity. Most parents 1ry to overcome this aUraetion ,by pounding on the door and shouting ineffective threats, the mos1 popular·one being: "You're going to be late for school! " The problem with this threat is 1ha1 it:s based on the idiotic premise that the child wa nts to b~ in school and be forced to sit on a hard chair and figure out how mani limes 7 goes· into 56; na1urally, the child prefers the bed . Think, parents, how much easier it would be if, at 6:30 a.m. on school mornings, you could simply press a button, thereby activating gigantic magnets under your child's bed that would cause the child to float upward, along with any _frogs that happened to be in bed with the child. Then, instead 'of wasting your time yelling, "You're going to be late for school!" you could waste your time yelling, "Stop drawing with that marking pen on the ceiling!" So perhaps this is not such a good use for magnetic levitation after all. Perhaps a better one would be: 2. Coping with people who "save" seats. I don't know about you, but it ma.kes me nuts when I enter a self-service restaurant, airport gate area, movie theater, etc., and there are people "saving" seats - sometimes lots of seats - for people who are not there. and who sometimes do not ever actually sho w up, which does no1 stop the savers from vigilant! y guarding their seats, often by placing items such as shopping bags on them. My feeling is. if an actual perspn wa' ph ysical ly there and had Ill go to 1hc bathroom or something. fine, you can "save" that person's seat tm1il he or she re1urns: but if you're "saving" a seal for a hypo1heti - cal person who is not there, then the seat should go to real people who are there. The concept of "saving" seats should be restricted to junior high school, where ".frontsy -backsy" is still considered a legal technique for butting into line. So my idea is that public seating areas would be monitored via cameras; if a "seat-saver" was observed denying seats to real people, the appropriate magnets would · be activated, and the seat-saver, along with the shopping bags, would vacate the "saved" seats, very much the way a Poseidon missile vacates a submarine. Granted, the magnetic field would also . prevent everybody else from using the seats, but I think the overall effect would be worth it. 3. Improving the quality of medical care. I recently had my annual physical examination, which I get once every seven years, and when the nurse weighed me, I was shocked to discover how much stronger the Earth's gravitatfonal pull has become since 1990. There should be magnets - very powerful magnets - under doctors' scales to compen ~ate for the gravitational increase, much the way ·economi sts adjust dollar amounts for inflation. I'm sure I could come up wi1h o1i1er practical uses for mag'rietic human levitation, but I have. to go. It's been an hour since lunch, and, as · a resident of the • Earth's magnetic field, I find myself powerfully attracted to the refrigerator. Forn!st ll \'J&Id Forrest A.

That's right: They have levitated a frog. I swear I am not making this up . According to an Associated Press article sent in by a number of alert readers, British and Dutch scientists "have succeeded in floating a frog in air." They did this by . using magnetism, which, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators. Magnetism is one of the Six Fundamental Forces of the Universe, with the other five being Gravity, Duct Tape, Whining, Remote Control , and The Force that Pulls Dogs Toward The Groins Of Strangers. The AP article states that the scientists levitated the frog 'by subjecting it to "a magnetic field a million times stronger than that of the Earth." According to scientists, the fmg "showed no s1gns of d1Siress after floating in the air inside a magne1ic cylinder." I am not a trained scientist, but my reaction to that last statement is, and I quote - "Duh." I mean, of course the frog "showed no signs of distress": It's a frog. Frogs are no1 known for their ability to show emotions; they are limited to essentially one facia l · expression, very much like Jean-Claude Van Damme. What did these scientis1s ~unba!'

Today's Highlight in History: On July I, 1946, the United States exploded a 20-kiloton atomic bomb near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. On this date: In 1863, the Ci vii War Battle of Gettysburg, resulting in a Union victory, began in Pennsylvania. In 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain as the British North America Act took effect. In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, U.S. forces, including Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders," waged a victorious assault on San Juan Hill in Cuba. In 1932, New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for president at the Democratic convention in Chicago. In 1957, the fntemational Geophysical Year, an 18-month global scientific study, began. In 1961, Diana, the princess of Wales, was born in Sandringharn, England. (She died in a 1997 car crash in Paris at age 36.) · In 1980, "0 Canada" was proclaimed the national anthem of Canada. · In I 987, President Ronald Reagan nominated federal appeals court judge Robert Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court, setting off a tempestuous confirmation process that ended with Bork's rejection by the Senate. In 1991 , President Bush nominated federal appeals court judge Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, beginning an ultimately successful confirmation process marked by allegations of sexual harassment. Ten years ago: Hong Kong reverted to Chinese rule after 156 years as a British colony. . Five years ago: The world's first permanent war crimes tribunal came into existence. A U.S. Air Force gunship attacked several villages in Afghanistan, killing 48 civilians, according to Afghan officials~ A Russian passenger jet collided with a cargo plane over southern Ge;:ny, k1lling all 69 people on the Russian plane, and rthe t o ·argo jet pilots. Chile's Supreme Court ruled that fo er dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet was suffering from dementia and dropped all charges against him for human rights violations during his regime. One year ago: Thunderstorms forced NASA to call off the launch of Discovery, delaying the first space shuttle night in a year. (Discovery was launched three days later, on July 4.) A huile car bomb exploded at a bustling outdoor market in a Shiite district of Baghdad, killing more than 60 people. Today's Birthdays: Actress Olivia de Havilland 1s 91. Actor Farley Granger is 82.

Eve·n though the civil' rights movement had won ~orne tough victories down south, and Vietnam dissension was heating up, most Americans were still tied to the traditional values of their parents. For example, in' my heavily ethnic neighborhood of Levittown, N.Y., if an unmarried girl got pregnant, it was a huge scandal. Rarely was abortion even discussed because most of us were Catholic. The yQung girl usually got married to the father quickly and quietly. This happened to my cousin and two of my friends. An unwanted pregnancy was a major deal. Drugs, also, were· not acceptable. Addicts were shunned like lepers, and even marijuana was considered way out of bounds. In 1967, while some of my high school friends were drinking beer whenever they could, nobody in my crowd was even thinking Bill O'Reilly about dope. But out in San Francisc·o, the "Summer of Love" w~s unfolding. Young people streamed into that city and congre' gated in the parks, where t~ey were introduced to pot and hallucinogenic drugs by local dealers. According to a recent series of reports by the San Francisco Chronicle, thous,ands of young Americans spent the summer stoned and having sex with a variety of their compatriots. This led to an epidemic of overdose situations and social disease problems. The press, however, did not concentrate on those negatives. Instead, the media immediately branded the Summer of Love crew as "hippies" and pro- Obituaries · claimed the .era of "flower power," thereby creating a glamorous subculture . The glorification and marketing of that subculture 40 years ago swept the nation and remains with us today. Almost immediatel y, the music industry hopped on the hippie bandwagon, and rebellious, drug-addled pop stars soared up, the charts. The names are now iGons: Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison. Slick, Garcia, and ·so on. No question, the summer of love changed America's ;tttitudes towards drugs, sex. and rock 'n' roll. The unintended consequences of that SIJmmer ar~ staggering. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison all died at age 27 from drug and/or alCohol activity. Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead lasted longer, but hi s heroin intake ultimately did him in. All told, the damage the drug scourge has done to America is incalculable. But you'd never know that by the media, which generally continues to glorify our permissive culture. There's little mention that H~me 70 percen1 of African Ameri'can babies are now born out-of-wedlock, while the overall birth rate outside of marriage has gone from eight percent 40 years ago. to -37 percent · today. Single mom homes, of course, are the major driver of poverty in America. So, call me a fogy, but I' m not real nostalgic about the Summer of Love. I like the music it et)gen· dered, but you can have the acid trips and the poor hygiene. Certainly, love is a good thing in any season. But it must be accompanied by responsibility to truly flower.

Hop around on their -compurer keyboard and spell out the words, "I am experiencing distress"? · No, we don't really know what the frog was feeling; this is why we should be skeptical about the scienlists' claim, as reported in the AP story, that "there is no reason" why this same magnetic technique could not be used on "larger creatures, even humans." Before we start exposing human beings to extremely powerful magnetic fields, we should conduct extensi ve laboratory tests on Richard Simmons. Bu1 if magnetic levitation really turns out 10 be safe , I think it could have some important "real world" applica. tions: I. Geuing children out of bed on school mornings. Scientists calculate that the attraction between a child and his or her bed on a school morning can be up 1o 75 times as strong as mere gravity. Most parents 1ry to overcome this aUraetion ,by pounding on the door and shouting ineffective threats, the mos1 popular·one being: "You're going to be late for school! " The problem with this threat is 1ha1 it:s based on the idiotic premise that the child wa nts to b~ in school and be forced to sit on a hard chair and figure out how mani limes 7 goes· into 56; na1urally, the child prefers the bed . Think, parents, how much easier it would be if, at 6:30 a.m. on school mornings, you could simply press a button, thereby activating gigantic magnets under your child's bed that would cause the child to float upward, along with any _frogs that happened to be in bed with the child. Then, instead 'of wasting your time yelling, "You're going to be late for school!" you could waste your time yelling, "Stop drawing with that marking pen on the ceiling!" So perhaps this is not such a good use for magnetic levitation after all. Perhaps a better one would be: 2. Coping with people who "save" seats. I don't know about you, but it ma.kes me nuts when I enter a self-service restaurant, airport gate area, movie theater, etc., and there are people "saving" seats - sometimes lots of seats - for people who are not there. and who sometimes do not ever actually sho w up, which does no1 stop the savers from vigilant! y guarding their seats, often by placing items such as shopping bags on them. My feeling is. if an actual perspn wa' ph ysical ly there and had Ill go to 1hc bathroom or something. fine, you can "save" that person's seat tm1il he or she re1urns: but if you're "saving" a seal for a hypo1heti - cal person who is not there, then the seat should go to real people who are there. The concept of "saving" seats should be restricted to junior high school, where ".frontsy -backsy" is still considered a legal technique for butting into line. So my idea is that public seating areas would be monitored via cameras; if a "seat-saver" was observed denying seats to real people, the appropriate magnets would · be activated, and the seat-saver, along with the shopping bags, would vacate the "saved" seats, very much the way a Poseidon missile vacates a submarine. Granted, the magnetic field would also . prevent everybody else from using the seats, but I think the overall effect would be worth it. 3. Improving the quality of medical care. I recently had my annual physical examination, which I get once every seven years, and when the nurse weighed me, I was shocked to discover how much stronger the Earth's gravitatfonal pull has become since 1990. There should be magnets - very powerful magnets - under doctors' scales to compen ~ate for the gravitational increase, much the way ·economi sts adjust dollar amounts for inflation. I'm sure I could come up wi1h o1i1er practical uses for mag'rietic human levitation, but I have. to go. It's been an hour since lunch, and, as · a resident of the • Earth's magnetic field, I find myself powerfully attracted to the refrigerator. Forn!st ll \'J&Id Forrest A.

That's right: They have levitated a frog. I swear I am not making this up . According to an Associated Press article sent in by a number of alert readers, British and Dutch scientists "have succeeded in floating a frog in air." They did this by . using magnetism, which, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators. Magnetism is one of the Six Fundamental Forces of the Universe, with the other five being Gravity, Duct Tape, Whining, Remote Control , and The Force that Pulls Dogs Toward The Groins Of Strangers. The AP article states that the scientists levitated the frog 'by subjecting it to "a magnetic field a million times stronger than that of the Earth." According to scientists, the fmg "showed no s1gns of d1Siress after floating in the air inside a magne1ic cylinder." I am not a trained scientist, but my reaction to that last statement is, and I quote - "Duh." I mean, of course the frog "showed no signs of distress": It's a frog. Frogs are no1 known for their ability to show emotions; they are limited to essentially one facia l · expression, very much like Jean-Claude Van Damme. What did these scientis1s ~unba!'

(AP)- Brett Quigley held a two-shot lead at the Buick Open just after the ·tum and his m.md drifted to an easy stretch of Warwick Hills. A couple holes later, a huge oak tree taught him a lesson. Quigley scrambled to save par at No. 13- the secondeasiest hole - and that contributed to him losing the lead Friday and finishing the second round in a three-way tie with Jim Furyk and KenrlyA'"erry at 10-under 134. "I tried to force the issue," Quigley acknowledged.

His last 63 closed the Memorial ear- f -lier this month, helping him finish third for his only top10 finish since 2005 . He was a season-best lith last year at the Buick Open. Perry's wife went to the hospital Wednesday because of food poisoning and on Thursday, he plunked two fans- shattering a woman's nose and hitting a man's shoulder. "I don't know what to make of it," he said. "It's been an interesting week so far." Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh are not playing the Buick Open for the first time . since 2001, giving more $ players a shot at a 882,000 check. Woods (with his wife and bb d s· a y) an mgh (resting a sore elbow) have combined to win four of the previous five tournaments about 60 miles north of Detroit. Furyk is the only player to break the stars' dorrunance at Warwick Hills, winning in 2003. He is shooting for his first victory of the year, 13th of his career. He has shot in the 60s in eight straight rounds .at the Buick Open, matching Woods' tournament record, and 35 straight sub-par rounds. Quigley hasn't finished better than second on the PGA Tour. He was the sec· and-round leader at the Buick Open last year, one shot ahead of Woods, before finishing seventh. . Perry won twice in 2005, but has had to wait to win No. 10 on the PGA Tour.

Quigley scrambled to save par at No. 13- the secondeasiest hole - and that contributed to him losing the lead Friday and finishing the second round in a three-way tie with Jim Furyk and KenrlyA'"erry at 10-under 134.

Perry's wife went to the hospital Wednesday because of food poisoning and on Thursday, he plunked two fans- shattering a woman's nose and hitting a man's shoulder.

"Steroids may or may not have had anything to do with this," he acknowledged Thursday during an interview on the "Today" show concerning the murder- suicide of one-time WWE star Chris Benoit. his wife and son. "It' s all speculation until the toxicology reports come back." McMahon is right about that last part, though just two days earlier, his World Wresthng Entertainment issued a statement insisting that even though anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home, they "were not, and could not be related" to. the deaths. The statement went on to decr,r "sensationalist reporting,' then suggested the way Benoit went about the business of murdering his wife and son, placing Bibles next to their bodies before hanging himself on a weight . 4 machine "indicate deliberation, not rage." McMahon repeated that assertion in the interview, and he might be' right about that, too . The shame is he dido 't stop there. "There's a rush tO judgment," McMahon said. "There's almost a hysteria around us." In case anybody is still wondering why that is, tragedy seems to find its . way into pro wrestling more often than called fO{ in McMahon's feverish scnpts. In 2005, Eddie Guerrero was found dead in hi s Minneapolis hotel room, the victim of heart failure linked to steroid use. Two years earlier, the deaths of Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig and Miss Elizabeth, the girlfriend of former champion Lex Luger, were tied to drug and alcohol abuse. A year earlier. heart failure linked to steroid abuse was blamed in the death of Davey Boy Smith, the "British Bulldog." In 1999, real life intruded on wrestling's art when Owen Hart was killed trying to perform a stunt during a pay-per-view event. The audience had no idea Hart's death was real - not just a stunt -. in large part because the show continued.

The former NASCAR champion isn't completely disappointed al;lout running out of gas a lap froin the finish of Sunday 's road race at Sonoma, Calif. Though the dry tank likely cost him a top-15 finish, of·maybe even a top-10, the way Labonte's new No. 43 Dodge Avenger ran gave him sometf1ing to build on this week for the Nextel Cup race at New Hampshire International Speedway. "Yeah. we unloaded and we .were probably the most prepared for that race than we'd ever been," Labonte said. "We tested twice at Virginia - International Raceway so, when we unloaded, we felt pretty confident with the setup we had. We qualifi€d 13th with a good, comfortable race car. We had two good practice s and everything was working really good. "In the race, we were running in the top 12 or so and then we got turned around and went to the back. We were making our way back to the front and we were in going to be in pretty JlOOd shape and we ran out of gas with one lap to go and finished 33rd. "It was one of those deals ' where we could at least hold our heads up a little bit because we .had a good race car and made u good showing," he udded . Labonte and the rest of the rebuilding Petty Enterprises team need to keep their chins up as they slowly rebuild a team that has been out of contention for years . Last year, in his first season with the Pettys, Labonte managed three top-fives and eight to p-I Os on the way to finishing 21st in the standings.

So there was something satisfying about watching pro wre stlin~ czar Vince McMahon betng forced to come cleao, if only this once. "Steroids may or may not have had anything to do with this," he acknowledged Thursday during an interview on the "Today" show concerning the murder- suicide of one-time WWE star Chris Benoit. his wife and son. "It' s all speculation until the toxicology reports come back." McMahon is right about that last part, though just two days earlier, his World Wresthng Entertainment issued a statement insisting that even though anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home, they "were not, and could not be related" to. the deaths. The statement went on to decr,r "sensationalist reporting,' then suggested the way Benoit went about the business of murdering his wife and son, placing Bibles next to their bodies before hanging himself on a weight . 4 machine "indicate deliberation, not rage." McMahon repeated that assertion in the interview, and he might be' right about that, too . The shame is he dido 't stop there. "There's a rush tO judgment," McMahon said. "There's almost a hysteria around us." In case anybody is still wondering why that is, tragedy seems to find its . way into pro wrestling more often than called fO{ in McMahon's feverish scnpts. In 2005, Eddie Guerrero was found dead in hi s Minneapolis hotel room, the victim of heart failure linked to steroid use. Two years earlier, the deaths of Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig and Miss Elizabeth, the girlfriend of former champion Lex Luger, were tied to drug and alcohol abuse. A year earlier. heart failure linked to steroid abuse was blamed in the death of Davey Boy Smith, the "British Bulldog." In 1999, real life intruded on wrestling's art when Owen Hart was killed trying to perform a stunt during a pay-per-view event. The audience had no idea Hart's death was real - not just a stunt -. in large part because the show continued. Even Benoit's nickname, "The Canadian Crippler," was a mocking reference to the very real havoc the sport occasionally. wreaks on its cast; he acquired the moniker, according to SLA¥! · magazipe, becau~ Benott broke an opponent s nee~ a dozen year~ ago ~Y accJ~entally droppmg_ hun on h1s head.

Those reliable bags of black tea your grandmother carried in her purse have given way to a rai'!bow of hues, a cornucopia . of flavors, ~hels of all sizes and sh3pes, and a whole new language for describing the minutia of it all. "In the next couple years you're · goin~ to see movies and TV shows making fun of people who drink tea the way they do now about people drinking lattes," says Mark Blwnenthal, executive directorof the American Botanical Council, which . trackl; tea trends. The growth of the tea market has lieen impressive, going from a $1.8 billion industry in 1990 to $6.5 billion last year, according to the Tea Association of the USA.

And now we're talking about tea and· food pairings, and cooking with tea."' While all this has stirred much excilement among industry insiders, some nevertheless urge caution. Starbucks didn't transfomi coffee overnight, says Michael Cramer, marketing manager for Clifton, NJ.based Adagio Teas. And many convenience-driven Americans simply aren't ready to embrace the more labor intensive loot,_and specialty teas. ' ' --"rlon't jam loose tea, gounnet tea and high-end procedures down their throats," he says. It's a lesson he says many restaurants learned after rushing to offer tea services, then quickly canceling them when they proved too troublesome for the staff and not sufficiently popular with customers. ·And while speilding on tea is up, with the .exception of breakfast tea, consumption across the day has been mostly flat, say Harry Balzer, of market research fmn NPD Group. Consumption of tea during breakfast has seen modest growth. · Whether the tea industry takes big or baby steps in corning years, the budding interest has iJ1Uffipted serious innovation in a beverage that otherwise has been mostly unchanged for thousands of years. fARMERS BANK ·Ft~her Funeral Homes ''Your Bank For Life" 992-2136 • Pomeroy,()H 985-3385 • Tuppers Plains, OH 446-2265 • Gallipolis, OH · 304-773-6400 • Mason, WV 111304-674-8200 • Pt Pleasant 590 E.

The exception would be homeowners who use the seed-heads for fall floral arrangements. However, keep in mind the seedheads are sapping plant strength. Many plants like re - . blooming daylilies, salvia, phlox . marigolds and zinnias will continue to bloom if we remove dead blooms before seedhead development. Some homeowners like plants to reseed themselves, like larkspur, delphinium, poppies and bluebells, so you will need to let some seed-heads mature for this purpose . Remember to continue to fertilize your plants, especially containergrown plants. Watering several times a week leaches out the soil nutrients available to the plants: When you go on I I Donations sought for horse giveaway Bv TRACY WINTERS EXTENSION EDUCATOR 4·HfYOUTH DEVELOPMENT GALLIA COUNTY ' I I GALLIPOLIS The Gallia County 4-H Advisory Association is once again taking dona.tions for a horse giveaway. In 2005, we conducted a similar fund-raiser; raising over $6,000 for the local youth of Gallia County. This money was used to sponsor: 4-H Summer Camps, Cloverbud Day Camps, . College Scholarships, 4-H national and state trips for Gallia County ·4-H members, as well as after school and school enrichment activities in both the county and city school systems. This year, the 4~H Executive Committee has obtained a registered quarter horse from Gary of Northup Northup Heritage Farm in Grove City. This yearling filly is a beautiful chestnut brown and already halter bJoke. The horse will be given a way during a drawing on Sept. 29 at the 2007 4-H auction, which will be held at the Gallia County Junior Fairgrounds. As we did in 2005. we are seeking $100 sponsors who will have their names placed on a banner and displayed in the 4-H food booth during the 2007 Gallia County )unior Fair. We will also have $1 tickets available for the general public. Each ticket will be placed in the drawing to win the horse. The residents and businesses of Galli a County have always supported 4-H and we would like to publicly express our gratitude. We hope you will again show your support for the 4-H youth of Qallia County by vis iting the 2007 Gallia 'County Junior Fair and supporting the fund-raising efforts of the 4-H Advisory Association . For information or to obtain a ticket for the horse please visit our 4-H booth located near Second Avenue at this year's River Recreation Festival July 37 or contact the Extension office at 446-7007. · Tickets may also be obtained from the 4-H Advisory As soc iation Executive Co'm mittee members.

The exception would be homeowners who use the seed-heads for fall floral arrangements. However, keep in mind the seedheads are sapping plant strength. Many plants like re - . blooming daylilies, salvia, phlox . marigolds and zinnias will continue to bloom if we remove dead blooms before seedhead development. Some homeowners like plants to reseed themselves, like larkspur, delphinium, poppies and bluebells, so you will need to let some seed-heads mature for this purpose . Remember to continue to fertilize your plants, especially containergrown plants. Watering several times a week leaches out the soil nutrients available to the plants: When you go on I I Donations sought for horse giveaway Bv TRACY WINTERS EXTENSION EDUCATOR 4·HfYOUTH DEVELOPMENT GALLIA COUNTY ' I I GALLIPOLIS The Gallia County 4-H Advisory Association is once again taking dona.tions for a horse giveaway. In 2005, we conducted a similar fund-raiser; raising over $6,000 for the local youth of Gallia County. This money was used to sponsor: 4-H Summer Camps, Cloverbud Day Camps, . College Scholarships, 4-H national and state trips for Gallia County ·4-H members, as well as after school and school enrichment activities in both the county and city school systems. This year, the 4~H Executive Committee has obtained a registered quarter horse from Gary of Northup Northup Heritage Farm in Grove City. This yearling filly is a beautiful chestnut brown and already halter bJoke. The horse will be given a way during a drawing on Sept. 29 at the 2007 4-H auction, which will be held at the Gallia County Junior Fairgrounds. As we did in 2005. we are seeking $100 sponsors who will have their names placed on a banner and displayed in the 4-H food booth during the 2007 Gallia County )unior Fair. We will also have $1 tickets available for the general public. Each ticket will be placed in the drawing to win the horse. The residents and businesses of Galli a County have always supported 4-H and we would like to publicly express our gratitude. We hope you will again show your support for the 4-H youth of Qallia County by vis iting the 2007 Gallia 'County Junior Fair and supporting the fund-raising efforts of the 4-H Advisory Association . For information or to obtain a ticket for the horse please visit our 4-H booth located near Second Avenue at this year's River Recreation Festival July 37 or contact the Extension office at 446-7007. · Tickets may also be obtained from the 4-H Advisory As soc iation Executive Co'm mittee members.

Homeowners and commercial growers are reporting that increased crop damage is occurring by wildlife especially rabbits , deer, groundhogs, raccoons and even voles! The ·drought conditions in the area increase the incidents of wildlife damage in cultivated areas as the meadows and woodland areas are too dry to produce an adequate food supply. The· most effective control is to exclude . the· unwanted pests using 'fencing (electric, woven or wire).

"I always wanted to dO this again," said Reyes, who used to help run her father-in-law's ranch in 'her native Mex.ico. "lfy6u'verunafarm, and you .Jove it, you always want to go back."

Reyes recently purchased a I 0-acre farm of her own, fulfilling a dream she'd nurtured since moving to California 17 years - GaJiia County, OH ago.

The checkpoints are popular with Jaw enforcement agenctes hoping to 'deter drunken driving. Since January 2006, 40 checkpoints in counties in and around Cincinnati Hamilton, Warren, Butler and Clermont - led to 261 DUl arrests, according to an analysis by The Cincinnati Enquirer. That's 261 out of more than 17,000 vehicles checked, or about one DUI arrest for every 67 vehi- Stllrtlllg At \\\\\ \ ll t\ d o~ l h , t· l t l r ntlt~nt ·on cles, the newspaper said. Chuck Strain, a Cincinnati defense attorneY. who handles DUI cases, dismisses · sobriety checkpoints as "mainly a publicity stunt with lots of police overtime." Ohio still had 462 fatal alcoholrelated crashes i1,1 2006, a figure that is not trending downward, The · Enquirer said. 1 DU1 checkpoints are joint operations. Police departments and sheriff's offices usually combine forces with the State Highway . Patrol, which brings extra personnel and expenise. · Federal and state grants help local law enforcement agencies pay the overtime for some officers, the newspaper said. Cincinnati Police Capt. Dan Gerard said checkpoints cost about $2,500 each . - but that's just for overtime and doesn't include regular salaries for officers. He argues the expense is wonh it,- considering the average person taken off the road for a DUI arrest at a Cincinnati checkpoint has a blood-alcohol content of 0.155 - almost double the state's legal limit of 0.08. "I would be very, happy with zero checkpoint arrests ' if it meant fewer drunken drivers on the road, Gerard said. · Critics say druDken drivers can easily avoid sobriety· checkpoints because 1990 ruling by the u.s. Supreme Coun required police to announce the location of checkpoints in advance. The same ruling also affirmed that properly conduct, ed sobriety checkpoints do not vio• late constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and setzures. Most stops at checkpoints take Jess than 40 seconds, The Enquirer said.
