In the season's first 12 races, Mar· tin Truex Jr. managed to finish in the top 10 twice. Then he won the race at Dover International Speedway, and it was no fluke. Truex led 216 of the 400 laps, and it was as if a light went on. Beginning with that race, run on Monday, June 4, after a rainout, Truex, a two·time Busch Series champion who entered N'extel Cup in 2006, has finished third or better four times in five tries. He's improved from 16th to lOth in the point standings. He's the hottest driver on the circuit, and he's lin took the lead by changing two tires while Truex, who had heen dominating the Lenox Indust rial Tools 300, had four changed. The last set of tires, for some mysterious reason, hurt the performance of Truex's Impala. "Maybe we should ha ve taken two tires," said Truex, "but whatever. It was a good day for us." Hamlin pulled away while Truex was battling Jeff Gordon for second place. He lost that battle, too, but as long as he keeps producing top· fiv e finishes, the war will continue to tilt in his direction. Want to read rnore from Monte Dutton?

Dowd Jr. read the four gui lty verdicts, Moonda went from holding back tears, to shaking her head to quietl y sobbing, dabbing her eyes with a tissue. "Donna is disappointed by the verdict, I thi nk a li ttle bn shocked," defen.Se attorney Roger Synenberg said outside the courthouse. Jurors deliberated about 8 hours over two days after more than two weeks of testimony. "We are very gratified by the verdict today," assistant U.S. attorney Linda Barr said. Moonda's defen$e was that Bradford. a convicted dru g deal er, robbed and kill ed th e doctor in a steroid-fueled rage. Brad ford met Donna Moonda in dru g rehab, according to court records. Synenberg told jurors that if the y believed Bradford, then his client came up with the worst plan to murder ·a husband. Bradford, of Monaca, Pa, has pleaded guilty to interstate stalking and a gun charge and is expected to receive a 17 1/2-year sentence in exchange for his cooperation. He testified that on the day of the shooting, he followed the couple as they left their home in Hermitage, Pa., near the Ohio state line and pulled in behind them when Donna Moonda stopped their Jaguar along the turnpike. He said he ran to the passenger side of the car and shot the doctor. Other key evidence cited by prosecutors were a series of phone calls and text messages between Bradford and Moonda the day of the killing, up until she and her husband left on their trip.

Recently, my son has been coming home making inappropriate comments he heard from Grandma, such as, "Grandpa is trying to steal Grandma's money and put me in day care." Mom seems to. think that, because her ex cheated, we. should all disown him. She considers it disrespectful that we still associate with him. We've attempted to discuss this, but she disregards everything we say. Please help. -Caught in Between Dear Caught: You don 't have to play this game.

McCartney is a 2003 graduate of Gallia Academy High School and serves in the U.S. Airforce. · To send cards, letters and well wishes, send to SRA M.

Dowd Jr. read the four gui lty verdicts, Moonda went from holding back tears, to shaking her head to quietl y sobbing, dabbing her eyes with a tissue. "Donna is disappointed by the verdict, I thi nk a li ttle bn shocked," defen.Se attorney Roger Synenberg said outside the courthouse. Jurors deliberated about 8 hours over two days after more than two weeks of testimony. "We are very gratified by the verdict today," assistant U.S. attorney Linda Barr said. Moonda's defen$e was that Bradford. a convicted dru g deal er, robbed and kill ed th e doctor in a steroid-fueled rage. Brad ford met Donna Moonda in dru g rehab, according to court records. Synenberg told jurors that if the y believed Bradford, then his client came up with the worst plan to murder ·a husband. Bradford, of Monaca, Pa, has pleaded guilty to interstate stalking and a gun charge and is expected to receive a 17 1/2-year sentence in exchange for his cooperation. He testified that on the day of the shooting, he followed the couple as they left their home in Hermitage, Pa., near the Ohio state line and pulled in behind them when Donna Moonda stopped their Jaguar along the turnpike. He said he ran to the passenger side of the car and shot the doctor. Other key evidence cited by prosecutors were a series of phone calls and text messages between Bradford and Moonda the day of the killing, up until she and her husband left on their trip.

Recently, my son has been coming home making inappropriate comments he heard from Grandma, such as, "Grandpa is trying to steal Grandma's money and put me in day care." Mom seems to. think that, because her ex cheated, we. should all disown him. She considers it disrespectful that we still associate with him. We've attempted to discuss this, but she disregards everything we say. Please help. -Caught in Between Dear Caught: You don 't have to play this game.

The Justice Department request was issued under the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust act and effectively extends a waiting period until 30 days after Alcoa fulfills the reque st. Pittsburgh-based Alcoa said Friday that it plans to com . ply "as soon as possible. " Alain J.P. Beida, Alc1>a' s chairman and chief executive, said the follow-up was · ex pected. · "As we have said before. we have a we ll-deve loped, detailed roadmap to resolve regulatory iss ues throu gh targeted divestitures 111 th e appropriate indu stry segments," he said in a statement. "We remain confident that the tran saction will be approved in each relevant jurisdiction." The proposed deal al so faces review by antit rust authorities in Canada, the European Union , Australia and Brazil , as well as for e ign investment clearance in Canada , France and Australi a. Alcoa announ ced its cash and-stock offer ror the Montreal-based ficm on May 7 after nearl y two years or private talks failed to produce a ne~otiated deal. The offer exptres at 5 p.m. on July 10, but may be ex fended. Alcan's board unanimously rejected the bid, saying it undervalued the company's assets. It also said it had turned away two unsolicited Alcoa offers in 2005 as inadequate . But Alcan has said it would consider a sweetened offer or perhaps ~ven try to buy . Alcoa. Last week, Alcan 's top B. executive. Richard Evans, ended an exchange of letters with Beida, who was seeking further talks on the proposed takeover, with an e- mail message that said Alcan saw no reason for fu rther di scussions or correspondence. " For Alcan, the situati on hasn't changed," said Anik Michaud, an Alcan spokeswoman. "We fed that from the beginning. Alcoa has underestimated the impediments to achieving their regulatory clearances." A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment. Alcoa founded Alcan in 1902 before establishin g it as a se parate co mpany in 1928.

The Justice Department request was issued under the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust act and effectively extends a waiting period until 30 days after Alcoa fulfills the reque st. Pittsburgh-based Alcoa said Friday that it plans to com . ply "as soon as possible. " Alain J.P. Beida, Alc1>a' s chairman and chief executive, said the follow-up was · ex pected. · "As we have said before. we have a we ll-deve loped, detailed roadmap to resolve regulatory iss ues throu gh targeted divestitures 111 th e appropriate indu stry segments," he said in a statement. "We remain confident that the tran saction will be approved in each relevant jurisdiction." The proposed deal al so faces review by antit rust authorities in Canada, the European Union , Australia and Brazil , as well as for e ign investment clearance in Canada , France and Australi a. Alcoa announ ced its cash and-stock offer ror the Montreal-based ficm on May 7 after nearl y two years or private talks failed to produce a ne~otiated deal. The offer exptres at 5 p.m. on July 10, but may be ex fended. Alcan's board unanimously rejected the bid, saying it undervalued the company's assets. It also said it had turned away two unsolicited Alcoa offers in 2005 as inadequate . But Alcan has said it would consider a sweetened offer or perhaps ~ven try to buy . Alcoa. Last week, Alcan 's top B. executive. Richard Evans, ended an exchange of letters with Beida, who was seeking further talks on the proposed takeover, with an e- mail message that said Alcan saw no reason for fu rther di scussions or correspondence. " For Alcan, the situati on hasn't changed," said Anik Michaud, an Alcan spokeswoman. "We fed that from the beginning. Alcoa has underestimated the impediments to achieving their regulatory clearances." A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment. Alcoa founded Alcan in 1902 before establishin g it as a se parate co mpany in 1928.

With imbedded sensors, lasers to check on them, a new set of templates connected like a jigsaw puzzle and a steely determination by the sanctioning organization to keep the playing · field level for all competitors, the big question is whether the arrival of the COT means the end to imagination in a sport known for its ingenuity. Racing teams, particularly in NASCAR. always have taken pride in the fact that designers, mechanics and engineers have found ways to use the so-called gray areas on the cars to be creative and find at least a temporary advantage over other teams. But the gray areas keep getting smaller and NASCAR is cracking down mi even the smallest thing its inspectors see as a violation on its new car, seven years in development and intended to be safer, more competitive and less expensive to produce. The new car, which will race 16 times this season, was scheduled to be blended into the schedule over a three-year period. But ·NASCAR has pushed it forward and the COT will run all 36 races in 2008. Meanwhile, Chad Knaus and Steve Letarte, crew chiefs for reigning Nextel Cup champion . Jimmie Johnson and four-time champion and current points leader Jeff Gordon, are serving the second week of a six-week suspension as the Cup teams head for Daytona Beach and Saturday night's Pepsi 400.

NASCAR has made it clear that the boxy shape of its new Car of Tomorrow is practically inviolate when it comes 'to attempts at creativity by the teams. · . · NASCAR came dow'n hard. Despite protests from Hendrick officials that the area modified was between the points where the ternplate for that area is supposed to fit snugly, the two cars were held out of praclice and qualifying on Friday at Sonoma and had to start from the rear of the field on Sunday. The other shoe fell several days later when Knaus and Letarte were suspended and fined $100,000 each. The drivers also lost 100 points apiece. These were the same penalties handed down severa! weeks earlier to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. after their COT was found to have illegal brackets on the rear wing of their No. 8 Chevrolet. After NASCAR flagged Johnson and Gordon at Sonoma, Doug Duchardt, vice president of develop· ment for Hendrick, said, "We felt we understood fully the rules around the template. We felt that we could work between the points on the template, and It is now clear to us, and I think to everyone, that that is not acceptable." So where does that leave all the clever folks who work on these cars? "They have taken almost all the creativity out of the bodies, which in my prior life was one of the biggest benefits. So that hurts a littie bit," said Ford NASCAR field manager .Ben Leslie, a former crew chief. "The bodies are locked down pretty tight, almost locked down completely," he added. "The chassis is fairly tight. But there's still a little bit of latitude here and ihere. I think there' s just been a shift. The ereativity has to go into shocks, springs, bars, bump stops, pivot points and all of that stuff." But· does that mean the excitement is gone for the people who work on these cars? "I had a lot of enjoyment when I felt like I had thought of something that somebody else hadn ' t, meaning other crew chiefs and the rules makers," Leslie said. "That's the job I was given. My car owner gave me the task of making the (No.) 6 car as fast as possible, and NASCAR gives their inspectors the task of making sure everybody's on a level playing field. Yeah, it 'takes some of the fun out of it. But some of it might have been getting out of hand." Team owner and former driver Richard Childress agrees that things might have been getting out of hand in manipulating the bodies of the cars in recent years.

"He was just a natural ," Cindy Showal~er said.

Things have changed since the first race of the seasqn in Australia in March, when Alonso·had all the hype coming over from Renault with two world titles. Hamilton was the new kid on the block, just up from GP2. "I remember when I came to the first race, I dido 't really understand the expectations on me," Hamilton said. Then he set a record by coming in third., second and second in. his first three races, the first time a rookie had placed in the top three in his first three races. And things really changed after the third .race in Bahrain, when he found himself in a three-way tie for first place in the standings. "The first time I noticed the effect I was havi ng back home was atier Bahrain. I came back and people started to notice me," Hamilton said. Then he won races in Canada and the United States, returning to Europe at the end of June in the lead in Formula One . "I came back after Indianapolis and. it multi· plied by about 10. People noticed me as I am driving in my car. It is reall y qu ite a strange experience. People notice me at night," Hamilton said. "I was dri· ving in my car and a taxi driver recognized me.

With imbedded sensors, lasers to check on them, a new set of templates connected like a jigsaw puzzle and a steely determination by the sanctioning organization to keep the playing · field level for all competitors, the big question is whether the arrival of the COT means the end to imagination in a sport known for its ingenuity. Racing teams, particularly in NASCAR. always have taken pride in the fact that designers, mechanics and engineers have found ways to use the so-called gray areas on the cars to be creative and find at least a temporary advantage over other teams. But the gray areas keep getting smaller and NASCAR is cracking down mi even the smallest thing its inspectors see as a violation on its new car, seven years in development and intended to be safer, more competitive and less expensive to produce. The new car, which will race 16 times this season, was scheduled to be blended into the schedule over a three-year period. But ·NASCAR has pushed it forward and the COT will run all 36 races in 2008. Meanwhile, Chad Knaus and Steve Letarte, crew chiefs for reigning Nextel Cup champion . Jimmie Johnson and four-time champion and current points leader Jeff Gordon, are serving the second week of a six-week suspension as the Cup teams head for Daytona Beach and Saturday night's Pepsi 400.

The Reds th4n beat them again 11-6 to win the .tournament championship. • ~ AP photo The No. 48 car of race driver Jimmie Johnson is pushed back to the garage by crew members after it failed inspection before practice in this June 22 file photo in Sonoma, Calif. NASCAR has made it clear that the boxy shape of its new Car of Tomorrow is practically inviolate when it comes 'to attempts at creativity by the teams. · . · NASCAR came dow'n hard. Despite protests from Hendrick officials that the area modified was between the points where the ternplate for that area is supposed to fit snugly, the two cars were held out of praclice and qualifying on Friday at Sonoma and had to start from the rear of the field on Sunday. The other shoe fell several days later when Knaus and Letarte were suspended and fined $100,000 each. The drivers also lost 100 points apiece. These were the same penalties handed down severa! weeks earlier to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. after their COT was found to have illegal brackets on the rear wing of their No. 8 Chevrolet. After NASCAR flagged Johnson and Gordon at Sonoma, Doug Duchardt, vice president of develop· ment for Hendrick, said, "We felt we understood fully the rules around the template. We felt that we could work between the points on the template, and It is now clear to us, and I think to everyone, that that is not acceptable." So where does that leave all the clever folks who work on these cars? "They have taken almost all the creativity out of the bodies, which in my prior life was one of the biggest benefits. So that hurts a littie bit," said Ford NASCAR field manager .Ben Leslie, a former crew chief. "The bodies are locked down pretty tight, almost locked down completely," he added. "The chassis is fairly tight. But there's still a little bit of latitude here and ihere. I think there' s just been a shift. The ereativity has to go into shocks, springs, bars, bump stops, pivot points and all of that stuff." But· does that mean the excitement is gone for the people who work on these cars? "I had a lot of enjoyment when I felt like I had thought of something that somebody else hadn ' t, meaning other crew chiefs and the rules makers," Leslie said. "That's the job I was given. My car owner gave me the task of making the (No.) 6 car as fast as possible, and NASCAR gives their inspectors the task of making sure everybody's on a level playing field. Yeah, it 'takes some of the fun out of it. But some of it might have been getting out of hand." Team owner and former driver Richard Childress agrees that things might have been getting out of hand in manipulating the bodies of the cars in recent years. "If you look at the cur· rent car, it had gotten so far out of the box - it's twist.. ed and looked like it had been wrecked before the race started," Childress said. "This (COT) is the car that NASCAR has given us and these are the· set of rules and, even though I' m not in' that job, it's still our job as competitors to beat everybody else in' the garage area," he added. "You take pride in other areas now." John Darby, NASCAR's garage boss, doesn't believe the changes NASCAR is making should stifle creativity at all . "I haven't seen the tooiboxes get any smaller, which tells me there's still plenty of stuff to work on," Darby said. "The real fact of the matter is the ingenuity and the things like the car body, which is what we're talking about specifically, it's still there.

"It's just a whole lot less work and a whOle lot less expensive," Darby said. Robbie Loomis, a former championship crew chief with Gordon and now a vice president at Petty · Enterprises, said · he believes the penalties to Knaus and Letarte were too harsh and that t]Je key to the situation is more communication. "We're going through a tough time because it's a transitional · period," Loomis said.

Showalter was little more than a month old in 1973 when his mother took him "to the track "in a bassinet with ear plugs stuffed and cotton in his ears, and he slept right through it." "He was just a natural ," Cindy Showal~er said.

Things have changed since the first race of the seasqn in Australia in March, when Alonso·had all the hype coming over from Renault with two world titles. Hamilton was the new kid on the block, just up from GP2. "I remember when I came to the first race, I dido 't really understand the expectations on me," Hamilton said. Then he set a record by coming in third., second and second in. his first three races, the first time a rookie had placed in the top three in his first three races. And things really changed after the third .race in Bahrain, when he found himself in a three-way tie for first place in the standings. "The first time I noticed the effect I was havi ng back home was atier Bahrain. I came back and people started to notice me," Hamilton said. Then he won races in Canada and the United States, returning to Europe at the end of June in the lead in Formula One . "I came back after Indianapolis and. it multi· plied by about 10. People noticed me as I am driving in my car. It is reall y qu ite a strange experience. People notice me at night," Hamilton said. "I was dri· ving in my car and a taxi driver recognized me. It is crazy, an unusual experience. "I don' t have any surprises (on the track)," he said. "When you are preparing for a race you know what son of things you have to prepare for, you have other people's experiences, the: team's experiences. You have guidelines of where you need to go and the steps forward." But once he gets out of the car, · the outside world intrudes.

" I could probably get ad vice from M ikka Hakkinen or Michael Schumacher or even Fernando jf they had trouble when they · first had it," Hamilton said. He said he is conscious of the title chase and what he has done to get ahead. "I am really surprised to see myself wnh such a gap and having done so well.

Gone are the days when the Chicago Cubs were the only team seen by the entire country. With satellite TV, cable and the Internet, every team - and every event - is local. You can see the Milwaukee Brewers every night if you 're so inclined, regardless of where you live. A few bucks and a computer screen, and you're practically at Wimbledon - and you don 't even have to carry an umbrella. · But that flexibility has made us downright blase, even for the biggest events.

He is a bit uneasy about how he will handle his increased fame from the home crowd. He has gone from a virtual unknown at 'the start of the season to being the sport' s newest star. "Going from almost being no one, and no one 1ecognizing you, to having everyone recognizing you is a big step," Hamilton said. The 22' year-old Hamilton says the race at Silverstone this weekend causes him concern as h'e races Formula One in his homeland for the first time. "I thi nk most people would say they .are happy.

' " Gallia's first auto fatality recorded in 1915 8't JAMEi SANDI. : According to Gallipolis historian P.T. Wall, the first fatal automobile . related death in Gallia County histo· ry occurred on Oct. 9, 1915, when 18-ye\lf-old Hobart Runyan was struck by Wilham Spear's automobile. According to the Gallipolis Daily Tribune: ''Runyan had brought some stove pipe from the Treasure Stove Works and had placed it on a street car in charge of Motorman Walter on the right hand sjde and was coming around the rear of the car towards ihe sidewalk when struck by the machine, which was qccupied by William Spear and brother Ezra. It is said that he was going at a moderate speed." · Treasure Stove Works was then located at the corrier of Second and Grape streets. Hobart was taken to ijolzer Hospita.l, where it was discov11red that he had crushed skull. He died in moments. Later that day the body was taken to the Runyan home and then to Grimm's Landing, W.Va., where burial was made. · Despite the fact that there were only 51 automobiles in all ofGallia county in 1913 and just slightly more than that by 1916, there were three more serious accidents over the next year involving aatomobiles. :=The headlines of the May iS, 1916 Gallipolis Daily Tribune read: "Second Automobile Fatality in <;Jallipolis." · "About 7:30 Wednesday evening, Jud Hooper ,;lepped across the street car track on Second Avenue on his way to the Park Central ~orner, paused a moment, a ' and then walked right in front of Dr. Ross Niday's automobile, which was coniing up Second Avenue driven by Dr. Niday, who blew his hom repeatedly at the street intersecuon. Hooper was squarely hit by the car, ~cl, up . a moment against the hood, and then · toppled feet frrst under the machine. The car was stopped at the alley in the rear of the hotel, and used to carry the injured man to the Hqlzer Hospital, where he was laid on· the operating table. He llreathed a few times and died,, his skull havlng been mashed in on both sides ..Mr. Hooper was me son of Stephen Hooper an~ was Ojbout 65 yem old. .He was unmarried -and had IJO regula{ OC!=Upatio!l, and did•odd.jobs ~bout town as he could find them." On July 13, 1916, a train struck a car that carried four persons. The accident occurred on Sycamore S~t on a Monday mom: . in~ at 8:30. The Ford wtls driven by Homer Edwards and inside the car were two · county commiSsiOners, James Edwards and Amos Bo~gs, along with Infirmary Superintendent Millard Blake. Mr. Blake was killed almost instantly from a crushed skull. The two commissioners, sitting in the back seat, were ejected from the auto. Ironically, the automobile was following Commissioner Thomas, who was driving a horsedrawn buggy. The two vehicles were headed down Fourth Avenue to Sycamore where they turned to go toward Second. They were headed for the fairgrounds, then on Eastern Avenue. · According to the . Gallipolis Bulletin: _"the K&M train, w}Iich they hit, backs down from the Kariauga station to Gallipolis. The auto struck the step on the front end of the parlor · car and was thrown sidewise against the coach. It was crushed into an almost unrecognizable mass of twisted iron and splintered wood." . Apparently Edwards heard the train bell, but he thought the train was going forward and not backward. Then on Oct. 16, 1916, an automobile driven by C.C. Scarberry and owned by Gill Garage hit William Henry Tyler. The Gallia Times stated: "At the time of the accident Mr. Tyler, who was employed as a janitor at the high school building, was crossing the Third and State Street corner with refuse paper from the school building. The auto, it is said, was not running rapidly at the time it struck Tyler. The latter. was knocked down by not run over. Several of his ribs were broken <l!d he was badly bruised, but it was not thought at the time his injuries · were serious. However, events proved he was hurt internally and the end came as above stated." "Mr. Tyler was 62 years of age. He came to Gallipolis from West Virginia in ,.1 881 and for years was employed about our local furniture factories." By the way, automobile deaths in Gallia County from 2001 to 1005 were 5, " 9, 6, 2 and 3. I' (James Sands is a special correspondent for the Sunday limes-Sentinel.

She added that she enjoys working with her .studenls in the nursing skills lab, helping them learn in oneon-one situations. The national certification process was a goal she set because she wanted to complete the national requirements.

Young thanked the faculty and staff at Rio Grande for accommodating her during her time in the master's degree program, and said that Rio Grande sup{X>rted her during her time m the program. Young's background is in public health and home health. She previously worked for Holzer Home Care of Oak Hill and the Gallia County Health Department before coming to Rio Grande three years ago.

The seven-part series, to premiere in September, explores the history and the horrot of World War II from an American perspective by following the fortunes of ordinary men and women who became involved in one of the greates t upheavals in human history. Six years in the making, this epic 14-hour film focu ses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns Waterbury, Conn .; Mobile, Ala. : Sacramento, Calif. ; and the tiny farming town of Luverne , Minn. These four communities stand for - and cpuld represent - any town in the United States that went through the war's four devastatihg years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through personal. and quite often harrowjng, journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their' neighbors, as . well as the country they helped to save for generations to come. Interested individuals, who experienced World War II either personally or through a family member, should contact Cheri Russo at (740) 5934524 or r:ussoc@ohio.edu.

Student Planning Board helps·slate campus activities RIO GRANDE Students at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College now have an opportunity to help choose the student events and activities held on campus throughout the year. Rio Grande has formed a new Student Planning Board, and the organization is playing an important ro le on campus. Eric McLau~hlin, director of student activities at Rio Grande, explained that the group formed during the 2006-07 school year and will be active during the 2007-08 school year. . Rio Grande student Jason Kellison of Columbu s is serving a\ the chair of the Student Planning Board. "They will be 'involved in planning the activities on campus thi s year," McLaughlin said. In the past, Rio Grande officials Jook input from students on activities, but made most of the decisions on the different events and activities planned for students. This year, the students will decide many of the activities. It makes sense to have the students make the decision on many of the activities for several reasons, McLaughlin said. "First of all . the students are paying tuition and unending college, and they shoul\1 have a say in t;he recreational activities," he said. "''m also trying to give the students a sense ofownership." Students who feel they are a part of campus liFe and are involved often are more successful in college, he said. By gelling students to volunteer for the Stude nt Planning Board, Rio Grande 'will be able to offer more activities that students want. and also give their students another learning ex perience. "The Planning Board is open to anyone who wan ts in vo lved ," to get McLaughlin said. · Rio Grande holds activities fo r students for recreational educational, cultural and campus.

' " Gallia's first auto fatality recorded in 1915 8't JAMEi SANDI. : According to Gallipolis historian P.T. Wall, the first fatal automobile . related death in Gallia County histo· ry occurred on Oct. 9, 1915, when 18-ye\lf-old Hobart Runyan was struck by Wilham Spear's automobile. According to the Gallipolis Daily Tribune: ''Runyan had brought some stove pipe from the Treasure Stove Works and had placed it on a street car in charge of Motorman Walter on the right hand sjde and was coming around the rear of the car towards ihe sidewalk when struck by the machine, which was qccupied by William Spear and brother Ezra. It is said that he was going at a moderate speed." · Treasure Stove Works was then located at the corrier of Second and Grape streets. Hobart was taken to ijolzer Hospita.l, where it was discov11red that he had crushed skull. He died in moments. Later that day the body was taken to the Runyan home and then to Grimm's Landing, W.Va., where burial was made. · Despite the fact that there were only 51 automobiles in all ofGallia county in 1913 and just slightly more than that by 1916, there were three more serious accidents over the next year involving aatomobiles. :=The headlines of the May iS, 1916 Gallipolis Daily Tribune read: "Second Automobile Fatality in <;Jallipolis." · "About 7:30 Wednesday evening, Jud Hooper ,;lepped across the street car track on Second Avenue on his way to the Park Central ~orner, paused a moment, a ' and then walked right in front of Dr. Ross Niday's automobile, which was coniing up Second Avenue driven by Dr. Niday, who blew his hom repeatedly at the street intersecuon. Hooper was squarely hit by the car, ~cl, up . a moment against the hood, and then · toppled feet frrst under the machine. The car was stopped at the alley in the rear of the hotel, and used to carry the injured man to the Hqlzer Hospital, where he was laid on· the operating table. He llreathed a few times and died,, his skull havlng been mashed in on both sides ..Mr. Hooper was me son of Stephen Hooper an~ was Ojbout 65 yem old. .He was unmarried -and had IJO regula{ OC!=Upatio!l, and did•odd.jobs ~bout town as he could find them." On July 13, 1916, a train struck a car that carried four persons. The accident occurred on Sycamore S~t on a Monday mom: . in~ at 8:30. The Ford wtls driven by Homer Edwards and inside the car were two · county commiSsiOners, James Edwards and Amos Bo~gs, along with Infirmary Superintendent Millard Blake. Mr. Blake was killed almost instantly from a crushed skull. The two commissioners, sitting in the back seat, were ejected from the auto. Ironically, the automobile was following Commissioner Thomas, who was driving a horsedrawn buggy. The two vehicles were headed down Fourth Avenue to Sycamore where they turned to go toward Second. They were headed for the fairgrounds, then on Eastern Avenue. · According to the . Gallipolis Bulletin: _"the K&M train, w}Iich they hit, backs down from the Kariauga station to Gallipolis. The auto struck the step on the front end of the parlor · car and was thrown sidewise against the coach. It was crushed into an almost unrecognizable mass of twisted iron and splintered wood." . Apparently Edwards heard the train bell, but he thought the train was going forward and not backward. Then on Oct. 16, 1916, an automobile driven by C.C. Scarberry and owned by Gill Garage hit William Henry Tyler. The Gallia Times stated: "At the time of the accident Mr. Tyler, who was employed as a janitor at the high school building, was crossing the Third and State Street corner with refuse paper from the school building. The auto, it is said, was not running rapidly at the time it struck Tyler. The latter. was knocked down by not run over. Several of his ribs were broken <l!d he was badly bruised, but it was not thought at the time his injuries · were serious. However, events proved he was hurt internally and the end came as above stated." "Mr. Tyler was 62 years of age. He came to Gallipolis from West Virginia in ,.1 881 and for years was employed about our local furniture factories." By the way, automobile deaths in Gallia County from 2001 to 1005 were 5, " 9, 6, 2 and 3. I' (James Sands is a special correspondent for the Sunday limes-Sentinel.

She added that she enjoys working with her .studenls in the nursing skills lab, helping them learn in oneon-one situations. The national certification process was a goal she set because she wanted to complete the national requirements. The national certification is a prestigious accomplishment, and shows the excellence of the teachers who earn ft. Young thanked the faculty and staff at Rio Grande for accommodating her during her time in the master's degree program, and said that Rio Grande sup{X>rted her during her time m the program. Young's background is in public health and home health. She previously worked for Holzer Home Care of Oak Hill and the Gallia County Health Department before coming to Rio Grande three years ago.

The seven-part series, to premiere in September, explores the history and the horrot of World War II from an American perspective by following the fortunes of ordinary men and women who became involved in one of the greates t upheavals in human history. Six years in the making, this epic 14-hour film focu ses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns Waterbury, Conn .; Mobile, Ala. : Sacramento, Calif. ; and the tiny farming town of Luverne , Minn. These four communities stand for - and cpuld represent - any town in the United States that went through the war's four devastatihg years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through personal. and quite often harrowjng, journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their' neighbors, as . well as the country they helped to save for generations to come. Interested individuals, who experienced World War II either personally or through a family member, should contact Cheri Russo at (740) 5934524 or r:ussoc@ohio.edu.

Student Planning Board helps·slate campus activities RIO GRANDE Students at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College now have an opportunity to help choose the student events and activities held on campus throughout the year. Rio Grande has formed a new Student Planning Board, and the organization is playing an important ro le on campus. Eric McLau~hlin, director of student activities at Rio Grande, explained that the group formed during the 2006-07 school year and will be active during the 2007-08 school year. . Rio Grande student Jason Kellison of Columbu s is serving a\ the chair of the Student Planning Board. "They will be 'involved in planning the activities on campus thi s year," McLaughlin said. In the past, Rio Grande officials Jook input from students on activities, but made most of the decisions on the different events and activities planned for students. This year, the students will decide many of the activities. It makes sense to have the students make the decision on many of the activities for several reasons, McLaughlin said. "First of all . the students are paying tuition and unending college, and they shoul\1 have a say in t;he recreational activities," he said. "''m also trying to give the students a sense ofownership." Students who feel they are a part of campus liFe and are involved often are more successful in college, he said. By gelling students to volunteer for the Stude nt Planning Board, Rio Grande 'will be able to offer more activities that students want. and also give their students another learning ex perience.

The jurors commented they found the technical skill level to be relatively high in both execution and choice of subject matter. ''The most successful pieces take the usual and find something unique in the scene," they said. "A feeling or a message is critical to the success of the work." The amateur photography category was particularly strong this year. As in the past, jurors cautioned anists to be very careful when selecting matting and framing. Avoid letting the framing and/or mat over power the work. It is unfortunate when poor presentation eliminates a creative piece.

"With me, it was my homosexuality. It was just eas1er to be gay wben I was high. So I stayed high for 33 years," he explains in his Chattanooga drawl. "It was recreational, then it' just evolved ... I don't know when it went from recreational to medicinal, but that's the line you cross where I needed a drink to get to a party, to be funny, to be me." . Jordan, 52, who won an Emmy last year for his recurring bit as Megan Mullaly's pretentious rival on "Will & Grace," has tapped into his tumultuous past for "Hidden Palms," which airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT. He plays the local drag queen and confidant to troubled - high-schooler Johnny Miller (''The OC 's" Taylor Handley), who 's struggling to stay sober. Like his past roles, Jordan delivers with an innate irreverence and dramatic honesty that has made the 4foot 11-inch actor one of the biggest character players in the business ri ght now. "I've been a huge fan of his for a long time," says "Hidden Palms" creator and writer Kevin William son ("Dawson's Creek"). "He has this amazing one-man show, ' 'Like a Dog on Linoleum,' in which he tells his life story. I've seen it several times, and I mean, he's got so much depth. Not everybody could make you laugh and cry at the same line of dialogue." "Like a Dog on Linolemn," in which Jordan traces his life from playing with dolls in Tennessee to "sitcom hell" in Hollywood, is one in a string of successful tfieatrical works for the actor. He starred as a drag queen fixated on country smger Tammy Wynette in Del Shores' hit play "Sordid Lives," which became a film. Then he won plaudits and awards for his theater work as an aging homosexual in "Southern Baptist Sissies," which is also slated for film. Jordan is now nearly 10 years sober after a drunkdriving incident that found him sharing a jail cell with actor Robert Downey Jr. in December of 1997. They later worked together on "Ally McBeal." "I stayed sober, didn't take an aspirin. Nothing. And I worked my --- off, and my career began to blossom." Jordan first arrived in Los An~eles in 1982 on a Tra1lways bus "witlJ a dream and $1200 pinned in my undershorts," hoping to make it as an ~tor. Although he· was told his impish looks and Southern-speak would hold him back, he 's amassed close to a hundred TV and film credits, including the current hit series "Ugly Betty." , He got his big break as the hapless ex-con, Kyle, in a 1989 er.isode of "Murphy Brown.' "When that episode aired, i my agent called the next day and said, 'I've never seen ~yt!rln~ like this. The phone ts rtngmg off the hook. Steven Spielberg wants you to audition for this movie,' Jordan remembers. "It was his only flop ever, some World War II thing, but I didn't get the pait anyway. "And then it was, 'Burt Reynolds called and said his wife Lonnie Anderson thinks you and her together would be delicious. Peewee Herman (Paul Reubens) wants to put you on the 'Pee-wee' show, and it was just one after another... they started trotting me out like an aging show pony, and here I am." Jordan takes time over lunch to share pictures of his mother, Peggy Ann Jordan, 71 , and his twin sisters Cricket and Janet, who recently just turned 50. It's someihing of a surprise that he can indulge in such leisure, what with a laundry hs.t of projec.ts he's now juggling, mcludmg an upcoming HBO series with "Designing Women':., producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason. "Leslie's in a very exciting time in his career now," says Williamson. "He would have been in the show a lot more, but he's been too busy. Had I had him for all eight episodes, I would have put him in every one of them. He walks onto the screen and WOW! Little man, big presence." Jordan plans to publish hts memotr, "My Trip Down the Pink Carpet: Or Ho~ I Became Insufferably Sattsfied W1th Myself," in April of next year. ' ' .

Drip-watering systems have been around for a long time. but not until recently have they become readily availab le and priced to sell. Now you can find an entire area dedicated to dripwatering systems in your' local hardware store or home center. Better manufacturers offer accurate water-pre ssure regula10rs. high-quality filters, automatic inline ferti lizing devices, a broad selection of water emitters and connectors, solid and perforated tubing lind a variety of watering heads and flow redu cers. Prices may range · from $10 for a basic starter kit to $75 for a more complex system that may include tubing. emitters, stakes, watering heads and flow reducers. With the right parts yo u can control water usage to within amazingly accurate tolerances and fertilize at the same time without even . being there. And a great advantage of drip systems is that they don't have to be placed d~ep underground so installation is easy. It isn't necessary, but if you can afford to include il in your budget, the place to start is with an electric timer. Most yards can be controlled with a 6-station unit and they can be purchased " on sale for under $40 . Timers operate on II 0 volts, but use a very small amount of electricily. Secondary. wires from the timer are low voltage and run from the timer to electrically con- , trolled sprinkler valves. lnline timers are ,.also avail - and plants able for single line systems. In planning a drip system , a water-pressure regulator is a must and should be installed in the water line between the water supply and the control valves. Good drip systems rely on constant, well-regulated water pressure. Proper pressure ensures that the emilters will supply the desired amount of water through each water- supply tube. After the control valve, the next item in line is the emitter, to regulate waler flow and act as a distribu tion center for the drip tubing. Emitters are available in a wide variety of gallons-perhour tlow, anywhere from one to 20 gallons per hour. A J -gallon-per-hour emitter will supply one qua11 of water in 15 minutes with very little waste . Em Iuers are al·so available in several different distribution configuration s. Some will supply a single ' tube only. Others have two, four and even 12 outlets. That brings up two questions: What do you do if you need only three drip lines. and you want to purchas~ just one emitter? And, wh11~ do you do if you want eacJi of the three tubes to supply . a differenl amount of water? If you need three lines, buy a four-port emitter and one-port plug. Port plugs are removable so that tub& can be added or subtracttl!l as the landscape is altered: ; If you want one emittet; but need varying . volumes of water, select an emi tter that supplies the maltimum amount of water that will be needed at any one tube, anl1 then add flow reducers tQ the tubes where less water will be needed. ~ More home improveme.;( tips and information a~ available on the Web at: :.

"With me, it was my homosexuality. It was just eas1er to be gay wben I was high. So I stayed high for 33 years," he explains in his Chattanooga drawl. "It was recreational, then it' just evolved ... I don't know when it went from recreational to medicinal, but that's the line you cross where I needed a drink to get to a party, to be funny, to be me." . Jordan, 52, who won an Emmy last year for his recurring bit as Megan Mullaly's pretentious rival on "Will & Grace," has tapped into his tumultuous past for "Hidden Palms," which airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT. He plays the local drag queen and confidant to troubled - high-schooler Johnny Miller (''The OC 's" Taylor Handley), who 's struggling to stay sober. Like his past roles, Jordan delivers with an innate irreverence and dramatic honesty that has made the 4foot 11-inch actor one of the biggest character players in the business ri ght now. "I've been a huge fan of his for a long time," says "Hidden Palms" creator and writer Kevin William son ("Dawson's Creek"). "He has this amazing one-man show, ' 'Like a Dog on Linoleum,' in which he tells his life story. I've seen it several times, and I mean, he's got so much depth. Not everybody could make you laugh and cry at the same line of dialogue." "Like a Dog on Linolemn," in which Jordan traces his life from playing with dolls in Tennessee to "sitcom hell" in Hollywood, is one in a string of successful tfieatrical works for the actor. He starred as a drag queen fixated on country smger Tammy Wynette in Del Shores' hit play "Sordid Lives," which became a film. Then he won plaudits and awards for his theater work as an aging homosexual in "Southern Baptist Sissies," which is also slated for film. Jordan is now nearly 10 years sober after a drunkdriving incident that found him sharing a jail cell with actor Robert Downey Jr. in December of 1997. They later worked together on "Ally McBeal." "I stayed sober, didn't take an aspirin. Nothing. And I worked my --- off, and my career began to blossom." Jordan first arrived in Los An~eles in 1982 on a Tra1lways bus "witlJ a dream and $1200 pinned in my undershorts," hoping to make it as an ~tor. Although he· was told his impish looks and Southern-speak would hold him back, he 's amassed close to a hundred TV and film credits, including the current hit series "Ugly Betty." , He got his big break as the hapless ex-con, Kyle, in a 1989 er.isode of "Murphy Brown.' "When that episode aired, i my agent called the next day and said, 'I've never seen ~yt!rln~ like this. The phone ts rtngmg off the hook. Steven Spielberg wants you to audition for this movie,' Jordan remembers. "It was his only flop ever, some World War II thing, but I didn't get the pait anyway. "And then it was, 'Burt Reynolds called and said his wife Lonnie Anderson thinks you and her together would be delicious. Peewee Herman (Paul Reubens) wants to put you on the 'Pee-wee' show, and it was just one after another... they started trotting me out like an aging show pony, and here I am." Jordan takes time over lunch to share pictures of his mother, Peggy Ann Jordan, 71 , and his twin sisters Cricket and Janet, who recently just turned 50. It's someihing of a surprise that he can indulge in such leisure, what with a laundry hs.t of projec.ts he's now juggling, mcludmg an upcoming HBO series with "Designing Women':., producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason. "Leslie's in a very exciting time in his career now," says Williamson. "He would have been in the show a lot more, but he's been too busy. Had I had him for all eight episodes, I would have put him in every one of them. He walks onto the screen and WOW! Little man, big presence." Jordan plans to publish hts memotr, "My Trip Down the Pink Carpet: Or Ho~ I Became Insufferably Sattsfied W1th Myself," in April of next year. ' ' .

COLUMBUS Improper use and lack of safety gear are the two major causes of ATV (allterrain vehicle) crashes for both youth and adults. Ohio State University Extension and the National 4-H Council are teaming up this summer and fall to educate ft.TV operators so that a fun time doesn't tum into a disaster. : OSU Extension received a $7.500 statewide 4-H Community ATV Safety Program grant to train 4-H Master Volunteers and Extension educators on becoming ATV instructors, tor the purpose of providing ATV educational sessions to ~- H youth and other individuals. The program has recruited volunteers in at least 15 counties: Williams, Ashtabula, Ashland, Stark, Tuscawaras, Harrison, Jefferson, Belmont, Morgan, Fairfield, Hocking, Ross, Gallia, Lawrence and Brown. ATV manufacturers are funding the pro~ram. Additionally, Sc1oto and Greene counties were the recipients of similar grants to conduct training. "The goal behind the 4-H ATV program is to build awareness of r,ropedy operating an ATV, ' said Randall Reeder, an OSU Extension agricultural engineer and coordinator of the statewide . training programs. "Users don't perceive the ATY to be as dangerous as it can be." According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, between 1982 and 2005 (the most recent data available), Ohio was ranked 14th in the number of ATY-related deaths. For the past decade, Ohio 4-H has had pnly one Master Volunteer in ATV safety. "Having more Master Volunteers trained to work with 4-H youth and adults slu>uld help improve our ATV safety record," said Reeder, who holds a research appointment with the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. The goal of the statewide grant 1s to conduct ATV safety clinicS"in at least 20 . counties by December. Each clinic will total eight hours, with four hours of ri.ding. "Youth and adults need training to increase their skill level, help them appreciate basic . riding techniques, and r~ogmze dan· gers involved with reckless driving," said Reeder. ATVs are popular for trail riding, hunting, farming and other recreational uses. Reeder said that the two biggest mistakes users make when operating ATV s is they don't wear a helmet and they ride with more than one perwn. "Inexperience is a major safety problem.

Cheaper imports add to plight of honeybee farmers already hampered by colony.collapse disorder JUOZAPA\!ICIUS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TIPTON, Okla. - Honey has been in Gary Grose's blood for nearly 35 years. The bee colonies in his commercial honey operation have weathered fire ants. drought, mites, aggressive Africanized bees and a host of diseases, Including one .that inexplicably wipes out entire colonies. But his biggest challenge these days is the glut of honey imported annually from countries such as China, Vietnam and Argentina, where it can be mass-produced fasier and cheaper than Grose could ever dream of doing .in this rural, southwestern Oklahoma community of 840. ' "The coup de grace? Sell us your honey at 60 cents l¢ss than you produced it for, or get out," says Grose, 42 , thnnanager of Tipton Valley Honey Co. "Do you realize we're now, oul~ourcing honeybees, for God's sake?" Foreign competition is .. enough for Grose, along with dozens of farmers with small and medium-sized operations, to think about cashing in now and folding businesses that ·have been running for decades. The timing couldn't be worse. A long with the economic factors, farmers in more than two dozen states are seeing bees mysteriously abandoning their hives, a condition called colony collapse disorder. Scientists are trying to determine what the cause is, while some theories range from mass infection to climate change. The industry has also changed over the last 30 years. As America's population grew, farms got smaller. People who inherited beekeeping businesses turned away from that type of farming because there was too much labor and not enough payoff. Today, the survivors' saving grace is clientele they've slowly built up at farmers markets, general stores and health food shops, where customers prefer a jar of pure, locally produced honey to one sold at a big-box retailer for half the price. Some also make up losses these days by transporting their colonies to pollinate crops across the country. such as California almond groves. But it's it risky prospect: The bees · could become infected while in transit, middlemen cut profits and the process comes with plenty of red tape. Si~ns that America will contmue to look elsewhere for its honey only make matters worse for Grose and others. U.S. imports of the natural sweetener have climbed steadily in the past 20 years, as domestic production has declined, according to figures from the National Honey Board and U.S. Department of Agriculture. "Unfortunately in this country, we consume more than we produce," says Jami Yanoski, with the National Honey Board, a Firestone, Colo.-based industry group set up more than I5 years ago for large-scale honey promotion. In 1986, the U.S. produced • about 200 million pounds of honey and imported 120 million pounds, according to the USDA. In 2005, production was down to 175 million pounds while imports topped 232 million pounds. Last year, China, Argentina, Brazil, India and Vietnam accounted for more than three-fourths of all U.S. honey imports, according to the National Honey Board. Domestic honeybee farmers are also having to do more with Jess. The number of honey-producing colonies fell from 3.2 million in 1986 to 2.4 million in 2005, according to the USDA The common misconception that all honey is the same is also puttin~ a dent in many beekeepers profits. There are hundreds of varieties on the market, each with its own taste, hue and texture. Many consumers huy the jar labeled "honey" at Wai-Mart or Sam's Club without noticing it may have come from five different countries, says Jerry Logan, who has decades of beekeeping experience and owns · Honey Hill Farm in Edmond . 6tmblp tr;tmH ·6mtlntl • Page 03 ~ribune - entinel- l\e c·LAS S I F ·I E o· . er Drought will have lasting effect deaths occurs during the ing the wrong ATV is a coofirst month of operation," tributing factor.

COLUMBUS Improper use and lack of safety gear are the two major causes of ATV (allterrain vehicle) crashes for both youth and adults. Ohio State University Extension and the National 4-H Council are teaming up this summer and fall to educate ft.TV operators so that a fun time doesn't tum into a disaster. : OSU Extension received a $7.500 statewide 4-H Community ATV Safety Program grant to train 4-H Master Volunteers and Extension educators on becoming ATV instructors, tor the purpose of providing ATV educational sessions to ~- H youth and other individuals. The program has recruited volunteers in at least 15 counties: Williams, Ashtabula, Ashland, Stark, Tuscawaras, Harrison, Jefferson, Belmont, Morgan, Fairfield, Hocking, Ross, Gallia, Lawrence and Brown. ATV manufacturers are funding the pro~ram. Additionally, Sc1oto and Greene counties were the recipients of similar grants to conduct training. "The goal behind the 4-H ATV program is to build awareness of r,ropedy operating an ATV, ' said Randall Reeder, an OSU Extension agricultural engineer and coordinator of the statewide . training programs. "Users don't perceive the ATY to be as dangerous as it can be." According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, between 1982 and 2005 (the most recent data available), Ohio was ranked 14th in the number of ATY-related deaths. For the past decade, Ohio 4-H has had pnly one Master Volunteer in ATV safety. "Having more Master Volunteers trained to work with 4-H youth and adults slu>uld help improve our ATV safety record," said Reeder, who holds a research appointment with the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. The goal of the statewide grant 1s to conduct ATV safety clinicS"in at least 20 . counties by December. Each clinic will total eight hours, with four hours of ri.ding. "Youth and adults need training to increase their skill level, help them appreciate basic . riding techniques, and r~ogmze dan· gers involved with reckless driving," said Reeder. ATVs are popular for trail riding, hunting, farming and other recreational uses. Reeder said that the two biggest mistakes users make when operating ATV s is they don't wear a helmet and they ride with more than one perwn. "Inexperience is a major safety problem.

Cheaper imports add to plight of honeybee farmers already hampered by colony.collapse disorder JUOZAPA\!ICIUS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER TIPTON, Okla. - Honey has been in Gary Grose's blood for nearly 35 years. The bee colonies in his commercial honey operation have weathered fire ants. drought, mites, aggressive Africanized bees and a host of diseases, Including one .that inexplicably wipes out entire colonies. But his biggest challenge these days is the glut of honey imported annually from countries such as China, Vietnam and Argentina, where it can be mass-produced fasier and cheaper than Grose could ever dream of doing .in this rural, southwestern Oklahoma community of 840. ' "The coup de grace? Sell us your honey at 60 cents l¢ss than you produced it for, or get out," says Grose, 42 , thnnanager of Tipton Valley Honey Co. "Do you realize we're now, oul~ourcing honeybees, for God's sake?" Foreign competition is .. enough for Grose, along with dozens of farmers with small and medium-sized operations, to think about cashing in now and folding businesses that ·have been running for decades. The timing couldn't be worse. A long with the economic factors, farmers in more than two dozen states are seeing bees mysteriously abandoning their hives, a condition called colony collapse disorder. Scientists are trying to determine what the cause is, while some theories range from mass infection to climate change. The industry has also changed over the last 30 years. As America's population grew, farms got smaller. People who inherited beekeeping businesses turned away from that type of farming because there was too much labor and not enough payoff. Today, the survivors' saving grace is clientele they've slowly built up at farmers markets, general stores and health food shops, where customers prefer a jar of pure, locally produced honey to one sold at a big-box retailer for half the price. Some also make up losses these days by transporting their colonies to pollinate crops across the country. such as California almond groves. But it's it risky prospect: The bees · could become infected while in transit, middlemen cut profits and the process comes with plenty of red tape. Si~ns that America will contmue to look elsewhere for its honey only make matters worse for Grose and others. U.S. imports of the natural sweetener have climbed steadily in the past 20 years, as domestic production has declined, according to figures from the National Honey Board and U.S. Department of Agriculture. "Unfortunately in this country, we consume more than we produce," says Jami Yanoski, with the National Honey Board, a Firestone, Colo.-based industry group set up more than I5 years ago for large-scale honey promotion. In 1986, the U.S. produced • about 200 million pounds of honey and imported 120 million pounds, according to the USDA. In 2005, production was down to 175 million pounds while imports topped 232 million pounds. Last year, China, Argentina, Brazil, India and Vietnam accounted for more than three-fourths of all U.S. honey imports, according to the National Honey Board. Domestic honeybee farmers are also having to do more with Jess. The number of honey-producing colonies fell from 3.2 million in 1986 to 2.4 million in 2005, according to the USDA The common misconception that all honey is the same is also puttin~ a dent in many beekeepers profits. There are hundreds of varieties on the market, each with its own taste, hue and texture.

GARDENING Look around your vegetable garden: Aren't some of these plants pretty enough to be grown as ornamentals, perhaps in the· flower garden or shoulderto-shoulder with shrubbery? Imagine, if you will, a twining vine with sprays of scarlet flowers poking out from lime-green foliage. The plant. scarlet runner bean, is so attractive that you might consider the edible pods as merely incidental until you taste their rich, meaty flavor. Asparagus is another vegetable as pretty as it is toothsome. The feathery leaves provide the perfect backdrop for bright flowers red geraniums or deep-blue delphiniums, for example. That feathery backdr()p does have to wait until harve'st is over, in early July, but then the new foliage fills in quickly. · And keep in mind vegetables' many lovely hues. Flowers need not be the only source of eye-catching color in your flower bed. For bright red or yellow stalks, plant the BrijlhtLights variety of Sw1ss chard. No need to sacrifice the show when harvesting chard, because if you cut just the plants' outer leaves, the inner ones · remain to grow and show. Rhubarb is another ornamental edible. Rhubarb has dark-green leaves, larger '\ill. than dinner rlates, splayed OUt in a whor on the ends of red leaf stalks. Equally decorative are the foaming white flowers sitting atop the flower stalks. Silvery leaves are always welcome in the flower garden, blending well with all colors. Seakale is an uncommon vegetable but it's tasty and has silvery, scalloped leaves and sprays of pale yellow flowers. The leaves of this cabbage relative need to be kept in the dark for a while to make them tender and tasty. Just cover new growth in spring with a flowerpot. Seakale is perennial, so after a few meals or· it in . spring, remove the flowerpot and let the sun shine in so that the leaves can develop, along with clusters of pale yellow flowers. Finally, for a pretty vegetable that usuallY. 1s just admired in the w1ld along the edges of fields, we have Jerusalem artichoke. Each year the knobby roots, with taste and texture like a combination of white' potato and water chestnut, sprout stalks six feet high, or more. The show begins in early fall, when each branch on those stalks is capped by a sunflower-like bloom about the size of your palm. If you ~row Jerusalem artichoke tn your flower garden, there's no need to 'sacrifice any flowers to harvest the tubers -just wait until the flowers fade. . , .

Otlcon • Delta Who thinks of planting flower seeds this time of year? Not many gardeners. Yet now is an ideal time to plant perennial ; flower seeds. They' II qnly grow leaves and stemf this year - but next year and in years · to come they will be showered with blossoms. The fact is, you need plenty of plants to make a bold show with any kind of J'>erennial flower. You could, of course, just drive over to the nursery and fi II up your trunk with 15 potted columbine, oriental poppy or delphinium .plants. But a single seed packet of any of tnese flowers could give you enough plants for the whole neighborhood. Furthermore, if it's pink poppies you want, or only deep-blue· delphiniums, you might not find these particular colors at a nursery. A much wider selection is available as seeds than as plants. So look around at other gardens and at your own garden and decide just what perennial flowers you want to grow. Deciding what to plant may be the hardest part of growiug perennial flowers from seed. To keep an extra-close eye on your seedlings, plant the seeds in pots or, even better, old plastic cell packs of the type in which nursery seedlings are sold.

Growing perennials from seed offers you wide choice and abundant yields with moistened, sifted potting soil. As with vegetable seeds, perennial flower seeds each have their own germination requirements. You might find this information on the seed packet or in the seed catalog, along with information about how long you'll be drumming your fingers waiting to see sprouts. Neither gayfeather nor anise hyssop seeds, for instance, like to be more than slightly covered, and both sprout quickest at temperatures from the 50s F to the 70s F. Lupin seeds also like that temperature range, but need to be nicked with a file so they can absorb water, then given a good covering of soil. Soak planted containers in a pan of water, cover them to hold in moisture, and then settle in for the Big Wait. By late summer, those seeds will haye sprouted and the seedlings will be ready to tra.nsplant out to their permanent homes in the garden. With cooler, moister autumn weather around the corner, plants will need little care be)\ond an initial watering-in. This timing allows roots enough time to grab tight hold of the soil before winter. One problem with growing perennials from seed is trying to figure out what to do with all the extra plants you're bound to get from even a single seed packet. You may end up in the nursery business yourself.
