If present trends continue, DEI will puttwo of its drivers, Martin Truex Jr. and Dale Earnhardt Jr., in the Chase for the Nextel Cup. The third driver, Menard, is JSih in the standings, partly because he bas failed to make the starting field six times. Menard, 26, is a rookie from Eau Claire, Wis. When the season began, he had no owner points behind his No. 15 Menards (yes, the family chain of home-improvement warehouses is his principal sponsor) Chevrolet. · However, Menard is not without im· pressive credentials. He finished sixth in the Busch Series point stand· ings in both 2005 and 2006, winning at his home track, The Milwaukee Mile, on June 24, 2006. At the beginning of the year, Tony Eury Sr. was Menard's crew chief. Af· · ter Menard failed to make the Daytona 500 starting field, Eury said: "We knew when we went to Daytona that we didn't have the best stuff." Eury has since moved on to join his nephew, Dale Earnhardt Jr., at JR Motorsports. Menard's crew chief since the beginning of the month has been Dave Charpentier, a highly regarded engineer and mechanic with some ex· perience as a crew chief. Menard has been successful in making the field for five of the last six races. His 12'"place finish in June at Michigan Inter· national Speedway was a season best. Menard had particularly high hopes at Chicagoland Speedway after qualifying a season-best 16th. "This is the best·driving car t(Jat I've had so far," he said before the race. In I ..

"Here's how I feel about the whole thing," said driver Kevin Harvick. "I believe every driv· er and every national series should be drug tested a couple times a year randomly, regardless of who you are, what you're doing.

That's a good thing I Health First Care Center is now located in the Castrop Center - Suite 200. Dear Annie: "Joyce" is 65, and I am 67. We have been in a relationship for 13 years. Last week, Joyce asked me to dinner, for what I assumed was a belated birthday celebration, and told me she is getting married and moving I ,000 miles away. · Apparently, during the six years I thought she was visiting her son, she has been having a clandestine affair with the man who was her first love. He has now gotten a divorce and given Joyce an engagement ring. . I trusted her completely and was easily deceived. Joyce shows no sign of guilt, shame or remorse over this illicit relationship· and what it has done to me. She said she didn't want to hurt me and that's why I was kept in the dark. She said our relationship had fizzled into a friendship some time ago. I feel as if I have been taken advantage of and played for a fool. She wants to be "friends," but I wonder if she is worth it. - Bill in Memphis Dear Bill: She's moving I ,000 miles away? Good. You need tQ get her out of your system. Even if Joyce considered your relationship "just friends," she knew her admission would hurt you, which means she recognized that you believed there was a commitment. She deliberately lied because she knew she was in the wrong. You need her like a fish needs a bicycle. Wish her well and . say goodbye. Dear Annie: I am con- stantly flabbe~asted at my mother-in-laws con versation at mealtime. ·on one occasion, in mixed company, she turned to her daughter and asked if she'd recently gotten a mammogram. Today, .as I was about to serve myself at a restaurant buffet, she and my sister-inlaw began discussing colonoscopies. 1 politely suggested this was not a good topic for the occasion, and they agreed, but went right on talking anyway. How can I cope with peopie who have no sense of what is and is not acceptable conversation while dming? ~~adre.~~!~il~~g~~~~;, to Polite Conversation Only, Please Dear Polite: If your inlaws do not care how unappetizing their conversation IS even after you t~ll litem, they are not going to change.

Dear Annie: I would like to share with your readers something that happened to my baby last year. I was shopping with my 3-yearold daughter and 4-monthold son. Like so many other parents, I placed my son, who was buckled into his ~ar seat, on top of the groeery cart. ~y daughter walked at my stde. The store was hot and crowded, and I was tired. As I was leaving, my daughter started to walk into the busy parking lot. I turned my attention toward her as 1 pushed the cart over the metal threshold by the slid- ing glass doors. I felt a jolt, and to my horror, I saw my son's car seat flip right off the top of the cart. Th t1 d d ·de e car sea an e upst down on the pavement. · 1 Amazmg y, · my son was OK, aside from a reddened foreheao. I took him to his pediatrician just to be sure. I am grateful that we got off with nothing worse than a scare, but I shudder to think what could have happened. Over 20,000 children are involved in shopping cart accidents every year. Some of them lead to permanent brain damage, and others are fatal. Please print this so other parents will think twice before putting their baby's car seat on top of the shopping cart. - A. More Cautious Mommy • Dear Cautious: Thank you for the red alert.

That's a good thing I Health First Care Center is now located in the Castrop Center - Suite 200. Dear Annie: "Joyce" is 65, and I am 67. We have been in a relationship for 13 years. Last week, Joyce asked me to dinner, for what I assumed was a belated birthday celebration, and told me she is getting married and moving I ,000 miles away. · Apparently, during the six years I thought she was visiting her son, she has been having a clandestine affair with the man who was her first love. He has now gotten a divorce and given Joyce an engagement ring. . I trusted her completely and was easily deceived. Joyce shows no sign of guilt, shame or remorse over this illicit relationship· and what it has done to me. She said she didn't want to hurt me and that's why I was kept in the dark. She said our relationship had fizzled into a friendship some time ago. I feel as if I have been taken advantage of and played for a fool. She wants to be "friends," but I wonder if she is worth it. - Bill in Memphis Dear Bill: She's moving I ,000 miles away? Good. You need tQ get her out of your system. Even if Joyce considered your relationship "just friends," she knew her admission would hurt you, which means she recognized that you believed there was a commitment. She deliberately lied because she knew she was in the wrong. You need her like a fish needs a bicycle. Wish her well and . say goodbye. Dear Annie: I am con- stantly flabbe~asted at my mother-in-laws con versation at mealtime. ·on one occasion, in mixed company, she turned to her daughter and asked if she'd recently gotten a mammogram. Today, .as I was about to serve myself at a restaurant buffet, she and my sister-inlaw began discussing colonoscopies. 1 politely suggested this was not a good topic for the occasion, and they agreed, but went right on talking anyway. How can I cope with peopie who have no sense of what is and is not acceptable conversation while dming? ~~adre.~~!~il~~g~~~~;, to Polite Conversation Only, Please Dear Polite: If your inlaws do not care how unappetizing their conversation IS even after you t~ll litem, they are not going to change. Ignore what you can, and absent yourself ~hen you must.. saying, · E~cuse me, but thts conversallo~ P~,ts a damper on my appellte. Dear Annie: I would like to share with your readers something that happened to my baby last year. I was shopping with my 3-yearold daughter and 4-monthold son. Like so many other parents, I placed my son, who was buckled into his ~ar seat, on top of the groeery cart. ~y daughter walked at my stde. The store was hot and crowded, and I was tired. As I was leaving, my daughter started to walk into the busy parking lot. I turned my attention toward her as 1 pushed the cart over the metal threshold by the slid- ing glass doors. I felt a jolt, and to my horror, I saw my son's car seat flip right off the top of the cart. Th t1 d d ·de e car sea an e upst down on the pavement. · 1 Amazmg y, · my son was OK, aside from a reddened foreheao. I took him to his pediatrician just to be sure. I am grateful that we got off with nothing worse than a scare, but I shudder to think what could have happened. Over 20,000 children are involved in shopping cart accidents every year. Some of them lead to permanent brain damage, and others are fatal. Please print this so other parents will think twice before putting their baby's car seat on top of the shopping cart. - A. More Cautious Mommy • Dear Cautious: Thank you for the red alert. Many stores now provide carts that come with child seats already bolted in, but for those that don't, please put your child's car seat in the I . f h urger, mam area o t e cart.

Praise the Lord for the lovely weather and there was a wonderful breeze, We were under the funeral home's tents and .there were plenty of tables and chairs. Numerous classes were represented, including 1937 and the young lady who provided our entertainment from the class of 2007.

(GAH$ Class of 1949) !4 ; VIEW Bill O'Reilly The private intelligence outfit, Stratfor, scoffs at The New York Times and says: "Bin Laden is probably gone for good, and al Qaeda likely lacks the ability to strike in any strategically meaningful way." Stratfor contends - that since 9111, Osama and his pals have only been able to launch one major operation: The train bombing in Madrid. All the rest were done by freelance a! Qaeda wannabes. And that seems to be the truth of the matter. Global terrorism committed by fanatics not formally attached to bin Laden, but using the al Qaeda banner, remains a potent threat. However, the crazed jihadist himself · continues to be incommunicado somewhere in the mountains of Northwest Pakistan. With that scenario in play, ideologues are free to pick their position. The right believes aggressive anti- measures have been effective and prevented terror attacks on U.S. soil, while the left believes President Bush has made the· terror threat worse by invading Iraq and failing to capture Osama. t!!:imes' -J;entinel • Page As Obituaries Swiday, July 22, 2007 Pumping Up ·Osama For a guy thought to be sleeping in some shack in the middle of nowhere, Osama bin Laden is certainly a hot topic of discussion.

Well, it depends on whom you're speaking with. Despite the Times headline, White House spokesman Tony Snow told me that al Qaeda's capability has been severely diminished in the last six years.

A question that more and more Americans are asking, as they become increasingly fed up with crime, is: What, exactly, are the legal rights of accused snakes? Consider the case of a snake that recently ran afoul of the Jaw in Virginia. According to a story in the Fredericksburg, Va., Free Lance-Star, written by Keith Epps and sent in by alert reader Venetia Sims, this particular snake, a four-foot Burmese python identified only as "a Spotsylvania County snake," was apprehended by an Alcoholic Beverage Control agent and the Spotsylvania sheriff's office in connection with a liquor-store robbery. I am not, of course, suggesting here that the police thought the snake robbed the store. They thought it drove the.getaway car. No, seriously, the snake belonged to one of the robbery suspects, and, accordmg to the story, the police had received Information that the snake had money from the robbery . " stashed inside of it." The story doesn't say how a person would go about stashing money inside a snake, nor how this person would get the money back out. But for the record, most financial advisers do not recommend that you .put your money into snakes. Let me add, from personal experi- Dave B~trry biologists still have no idea •how they reproduce.)

Some of you also sent me an alarming news item stating that researchers at Harvard Medical School are - I swear I'm not making this up, either · giving Prozac to lobsters. The researchers say the drug " makes lobsters more docile, and less likely to snap when fished out of a tank at a restaurant." The article states · that the researchers hope their work will ultimately benefit humans. This raises some alarming questions: • I. Are there restaurants that keep humans in tanks? 2. Are these humans forced to wear rubber bands on their hands? 3. Do the restaurant owners claim that they taste," just like chicken"? I think that every con cerned American should telephone federal authorities at random until we get answers to these and other questions. I also think that for the tinie being we should all be extremely cautious when we leave our homes. .Remember: "a Spotsylvania County,. snake" is out there somewhere.

Poverty and the minimum wage ai:e becoming a .major issue in the Democratic presidential race. John Edwards andBarack Obama are emphasizing raising the minimum wage during their tours of impoverished areas. Edwards, who said he wants to eliminate poverty within a generation, favors raising the minimum wage to $9.50. Obama is advocating a "living wage" that would go up as intlation rises and he has promised to eliminate the phrase "working poor." More than two dozen states and the District of Columbia already have minimum wages higher· than the federal one. Even in those states, an increase in the federal minimum wage probably will have a ripple effect, increasing the salaries of Townsend and others. North Carolina raised its minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.15 in January. "It's a Jon~ overdue first step;" said Cmdia Cameron, the national organizi'ng director of 9to5, the Nationa! Association of Working Women. Minimum wage workers typically are young, single and female and are often black or Hispanic. Even then when the full increase is enacted, minimum wage workers will be just scraping by. "It's not enough money to meet your basic needs, I'm talking about your rent, your gas, and gas to get back and forth to work," said Sonya Murphy, head organizer of the Mississippi Association · of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. But at the same time, employers who pay many of these low-wage workers say increasing the minimum wage only means they have to raise the prices of the products, cut back on employees' hours or let some workers go. "When you go into the grocery story now, you may be checking your own groceries, you may be bagging your own groceries," said offset some of the increased Jill Jenkins, chief economist labor costs." said Brendan for the Employment Policies Flanagan, the· associatioli;s Institute.

Praise the Lord for the lovely weather and there was a wonderful breeze, We were under the funeral home's tents and .there were plenty of tables and chairs.

(GAH$ Class of 1949) !4 ; VIEW Bill O'Reilly The private intelligence outfit, Stratfor, scoffs at The New York Times and says: "Bin Laden is probably gone for good, and al Qaeda likely lacks the ability to strike in any strategically meaningful way." Stratfor contends - that since 9111, Osama and his pals have only been able to launch one major operation: The train bombing in Madrid. All the rest were done by freelance a! Qaeda wannabes. And that seems to be the truth of the matter. Global terrorism committed by fanatics not formally attached to bin Laden, but using the al Qaeda banner, remains a potent threat. However, the crazed jihadist himself · continues to be incommunicado somewhere in the mountains of Northwest Pakistan. With that scenario in play, ideologues are free to pick their position. The right believes aggressive anti- measures have been effective and prevented terror attacks on U.S. soil, while the left believes President Bush has made the· terror threat worse by invading Iraq and failing to capture Osama. t!!:imes' -J;entinel • Page As Obituaries Swiday, July 22, 2007 Pumping Up ·Osama For a guy thought to be sleeping in some shack in the middle of nowhere, Osama bin Laden is certainly a hot topic of discussion.

Do all the president's men believe that, after hundreds of billions of dollars spent and thousands of Jives lost, Osama and his ·killers are prosP.ering? Can that be posstble? Well, it depends on whom you're speaking with. Despite the Times headline, White House spokesman Tony Snow told me that al Qaeda's capability has been severely diminished in the last six years. But, of course, Snow would say that. So who are we'to believe? new National A Intelligence Estimate released by The White House says that a!

A question that more and more Americans are asking, as they become increasingly fed up with crime, is: What, exactly, are the legal rights of accused snakes? Consider the case of a snake that recently ran afoul of the Jaw in Virginia. According to a story in the Fredericksburg, Va., Free Lance-Star, written by Keith Epps and sent in by alert reader Venetia Sims, this particular snake, a four-foot Burmese python identified only as "a Spotsylvania County snake," was apprehended by an Alcoholic Beverage Control agent and the Spotsylvania sheriff's office in connection with a liquor-store robbery. I am not, of course, suggesting here that the police thought the snake robbed the store. They thought it drove the.getaway car. No, seriously, the snake belonged to one of the robbery suspects, and, accordmg to the story, the police had received Information that the snake had money from the robbery . " stashed inside of it." The story doesn't say how a person would go about stashing money inside a snake, nor how this person would get the money back out. But for the record, most financial advisers do not recommend that you .put your money into snakes. Let me add, from personal experi- Dave B~trry biologists still have no idea •how they reproduce.)

Some of you also sent me an alarming news item stating that researchers at Harvard Medical School are - I swear I'm not making this up, either · giving Prozac to lobsters. The researchers say the drug " makes lobsters more docile, and less likely to snap when fished out of a tank at a restaurant." The article states · that the researchers hope their work will ultimately benefit humans. This raises some alarming questions: • I. Are there restaurants that keep humans in tanks? 2. Are these humans forced to wear rubber bands on their hands? 3. Do the restaurant owners claim that they taste," just like chicken"? I think that every con cerned American should telephone federal authorities at random until we get answers to these and other questions. I also think that for the tinie being we should all be extremely cautious when we leave our homes. .Remember: "a Spotsylvania County,. snake" is out there somewhere.

Poverty and the minimum wage ai:e becoming a .major issue in the Democratic presidential race. John Edwards andBarack Obama are emphasizing raising the minimum wage during their tours of impoverished areas. Edwards, who said he wants to eliminate poverty within a generation, favors raising the minimum wage to $9.50. Obama is advocating a "living wage" that would go up as intlation rises and he has promised to eliminate the phrase "working poor." More than two dozen states and the District of Columbia already have minimum wages higher· than the federal one. Even in those states, an increase in the federal minimum wage probably will have a ripple effect, increasing the salaries of Townsend and others. North Carolina raised its minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.15 in January. "It's a Jon~ overdue first step;" said Cmdia Cameron, the national organizi'ng director of 9to5, the Nationa! Association of Working Women. Minimum wage workers typically are young, single and female and are often black or Hispanic. Even then when the full increase is enacted, minimum wage workers will be just scraping by. "It's not enough money to meet your basic needs, I'm talking about your rent, your gas, and gas to get back and forth to work," said Sonya Murphy, head organizer of the Mississippi Association · of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. But at the same time, employers who pay many of these low-wage workers say increasing the minimum wage only means they have to raise the prices of the products, cut back on employees' hours or let some workers go.

RIO GRANDE- Students and faculty from the University of Rio Grande traveled to Olina recently to see imponant historical sites visit schools and gain a better understanding of the culture and the educational ssrs~em in the country. A group of 13 from Rio Grande visited China from June 10 through June 22. The graduate pmgram at Rio Grande spomors nips around the country and around . the world every summer. Students in the p!'Og!'aD1 have oppol1Unities to visit important cultllral sites around the world, while also having learning experiences that will help them in their careers. Faculty members Benjy Davies and Jim Allen led the trip to China this·summer. '1t was unbelievable," Allen said. The first week of the trip, the Rio.Grande visited historical and~sites such as ·the Great Wall of OUna and the Fotbidden City. During the second week of the journey, the Rio Grande group visited the University of BaoJi, along with several different schools. Rio Grande has a coopernlive agreement with the University of Bao.Ji, and students at BaoJi are enrolled in Rio Grande's graduate program. Rio Grande fdCI.Ilty members visit the Chinese university reg· ularly, while also teaching classes over the Internet. Later this summer, students from BaoJi will also visit Rio Grande. Davies said he enjoyed meeting with the students in Baali, and was.irnpressed with the university. • The Rio Grande group also visited schools in China and had the opportunity to talk with students and teachers. Many of the members of the Rio Grande group are teaching in the region or will soon bC teaching. and it was a good expeiience · for them to see how schools in another coun1ry operate. Allen said the visits to the schools and conversations with · teachers and students gave the Rio Grande group an inside look at the culture and the people of China. Davies ellplitined that many of the teachers in China are interested in how the Rio Grande graduate- program in education is based on the theory of multiple intelligences, The Chinese educators are intrigued with ihe teaching methods taught in the Rio Grande program. The educational philooophies in O!ina are very different than in America, and Davies said it was good for the Rio Grande members to learn more about the Chinese way of teaching. He and Allen both said they were very pleased with the different experiences the Rio Grande students had on the trip, and said that the swdents said they also enjoyed the journey.

The NBA acknowledged Friday that the FBI is investigating Tim Donaghy for betting on games, including " ones in which he officiated. According to a law enforcement official, authorities are examining whether the referee made calls to affect the point spread in games on wltich he or associates had wagered over the past two seasons. ·, The referee had a gam· bling problem and was approached by low-level mob associates through an acquaintance, said the official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Donaghy is perhaps bestknown previously as one of the referees in the 2004 game at Detroit that ended with Indiana Pacers players fighting with Pistons fans, among the biggest black marks in league history. This could toe it. "We would hke to assure our fans that no amount of effort, time or personnel is . being spared to assist in this in vestiga:tion, to bring to justice an individual who has betrayed the most sacred trust in professional sports, and to take the necessary steps to protect against this ever happening again," Stern said in a statement. Donaghy officiated 68 games in the 2005-06 season and 63 games in 2006-07, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

RIO GRANDE- Students and faculty from the University of Rio Grande traveled to Olina recently to see imponant historical sites visit schools and gain a better understanding of the culture and the educational ssrs~em in the country. A group of 13 from Rio Grande visited China from June 10 through June 22. The graduate pmgram at Rio Grande spomors nips around the country and around . the world every summer. Students in the p!'Og!'aD1 have oppol1Unities to visit important cultllral sites around the world, while also having learning experiences that will help them in their careers. Faculty members Benjy Davies and Jim Allen led the trip to China this·summer. '1t was unbelievable," Allen said. The first week of the trip, the Rio.Grande visited historical and~sites such as ·the Great Wall of OUna and the Fotbidden City. During the second week of the journey, the Rio Grande group visited the University of BaoJi, along with several different schools. Rio Grande has a coopernlive agreement with the University of Bao.Ji, and students at BaoJi are enrolled in Rio Grande's graduate program. Rio Grande fdCI.Ilty members visit the Chinese university reg· ularly, while also teaching classes over the Internet. Later this summer, students from BaoJi will also visit Rio Grande. Davies said he enjoyed meeting with the students in Baali, and was.irnpressed with the university. • The Rio Grande group also visited schools in China and had the opportunity to talk with students and teachers. Many of the members of the Rio Grande group are teaching in the region or will soon bC teaching. and it was a good expeiience · for them to see how schools in another coun1ry operate. Allen said the visits to the schools and conversations with · teachers and students gave the Rio Grande group an inside look at the culture and the people of China. Davies ellplitined that many of the teachers in China are interested in how the Rio Grande graduate- program in education is based on the theory of multiple intelligences, The Chinese educators are intrigued with ihe teaching methods taught in the Rio Grande program. The educational philooophies in O!ina are very different than in America, and Davies said it was good for the Rio Grande members to learn more about the Chinese way of teaching. He and Allen both said they were very pleased with the different experiences the Rio Grande students had on the trip, and said that the swdents said they also enjoyed the journey.

BBYFL annoonces sign up tim~ Local stocks • David Stern led the NBA through drug problems and work stoppages. Now his league faces the stigma of a scandal point-shaving · mvol ving a referee. The NBA acknowledged Friday that the FBI is investigating Tim Donaghy for betting on games, including " ones in which he officiated. According to a law enforcement official, authorities are examining whether the referee made calls to affect the point spread in games on wltich he or associates had wagered over the past two seasons. ·, The referee had a gam· bling problem and was approached by low-level mob associates through an acquaintance, said the official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Donaghy is perhaps bestknown previously as one of the referees in the 2004 game at Detroit that ended with Indiana Pacers players fighting with Pistons fans, among the biggest black marks in league history. This could toe it. "We would hke to assure our fans that no amount of effort, time or personnel is . being spared to assist in this in vestiga:tion, to bring to justice an individual who has betrayed the most sacred trust in professional sports, and to take the necessary steps to protect against this ever happening again," Stern said in a statement. Donaghy officiated 68 games in the 2005-06 season and 63 games in 2006-07, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He also worked 20 playoff games, including five last season - PistonsMagic on April 23; Warriors-Mavericks on April 27; Suns-Lakers on April 29; Nets-Raptors on May 4; and Spurs-Suns on May P .

PETA tells NFL to 'Sack Vick' after dogfighting charges NEW YORK (AP) Roger Goodell met with animal welfare officials inside NFL headquarters Friday and about 50 people demonstrated outside, urging the NFL commissioner to suspend Michael Vick followmg his indictment on dogfighting charges. "Sack Vick!" chanted the demonstrators, organized by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, as they walked peacefully in front of the Park Avenue building. Many held dogs . who had the "Sack Vick" signs on their backs and one woman brought a pit bull, the breed killed in the dogfighting operation the Atlanta quarterback IS accused of sponsoring. · GGodell met-with officials · from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal so The leaders of the demonstration focused on Goodell 's one-year suspension of Tennessee 's Adam "Pacman" Jones under the NFL's personal conduct policy, although Jones has not been convicted of any crime. "We think they should do the same with Michael Vick," .said Dan Shannon, an assistant director of campaigns for PETA. "We don't think their 'wait and see'· attitude goes far enough. If they suspended Pacman Jones, they can suspend Vick." After the Yick was indicted Tuesday, the NFL said it would monitor legal developments in the case .. Yick is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in federal court in Richmond, Va. On Friday, though, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said: "We allree wjth them tbat dogfighting is cruel, degrading and illegal. The alle~ed activities are very disturbmg and we are extremely disappointed Michael Yick has put himself in this position. "We are having extensive dialogue -with numerous groups and individuals, includinjl the ASPCA , and are revtewing all of our options to deal with this as quickly as possible." Sherry Ramsey, a staff attorney for the Humane Society of the United States, said she was disappointed in the league's stance. "There is a precedent in the Jones suspension," she said. Ramsey said her organization wrote to the NFL in May, offering to work with the league to help educate players about dogfighting. She said it did not receive a reply. However, two letters written June 21 by the NFL to the Humane Society, and provided to The Associated Press by the league, said warnings on animal fighting and animal cruelty are now being included in the annual briefings by the league security staff to flayers. Those briefings wil take place at all 32 training camps thi ~ summer. "We are in total agreement that there is no place for animal cruelty and illegal ani· mal fighting and take very seriously the allegations of dog fighting against Michael Yick ," Peter Abitante, Goodell 's personal assistant, wrote nearly a month before Yick's indictment. - --- - - --- - -'" -- - - - - - - -----------· Hyundia Sonata GLS, V6, SunrooL.......................................... - ............................................................$13,900 Chevy Colbalt LS, 4 Door....................,.......................................................................................................$10,900 Mercury Sable, Power s..ts....................................................... _ ...............................................................S6,595 Chevy Impala Only 47,000 miles, Local Tradeln......................~ .............................................................. $8,595 Chevy Malibu LS, V6, PWR Seats, CDfrape, Only 39,000 Miles.............................................................$6,795 Chevy Camaro, V6, Au1o, T-Tops ............................................... ..,...............................................................$6,800 Olds Alero, 2 Doo~ 56,000 Miles.................................................~~............................................................$7,795 Chrysler I'T Cruiser Touring Edilion, Factory Warranty......~ ........................................................$13,500 Hyundai Sona1a LX, Lea1her, heated seats, sunroof, FactOIJ'Y!)lrranty................................................$14,900 Ford Focus SE, 4 dr., Loaded Up, Factory Warranty...............,..~ ............................................................. .$9,500 Cadiliac Eldorado, Local Trade, Exira Clean................................._.............................................................. $7,995 Pontiac Grand Pdx, Factory Warranty....................................... - ............................................................$12,900 Chevy Monte Carlo, 10,000 Miles, Faclory Warranty............. .;..............................................................$15,900 Chrysler I'T Cruiser, Loaded up .........................................:..........................................................................$9,795 Dodge Siralus SXT ........................................................................- ............................................................$11,200 Chevy Impala, Power Seat ..............................................................- ................................................,......... ... 59,995 Pontiac Grand Am, V6, Shatp........................................................................................................................$9,995 Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Red ..........................................................................................................................$9,900 Saturn Ion, 4 Door, Auto, Air, Gas Save~ ................................................................................................. $10,200 Saturn, 4 Door, SL2, Loaded Up .....................................................~................................. ,.............................

PETA tells NFL to 'Sack Vick' after dogfighting charges NEW YORK (AP) Roger Goodell met with animal welfare officials inside NFL headquarters Friday and about 50 people demonstrated outside, urging the NFL commissioner to suspend Michael Vick followmg his indictment on dogfighting charges. "Sack Vick!" chanted the demonstrators, organized by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, as they walked peacefully in front of the Park Avenue building. Many held dogs . who had the "Sack Vick" signs on their backs and one woman brought a pit bull, the breed killed in the dogfighting operation the Atlanta quarterback IS accused of sponsoring. · GGodell met-with officials · from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal so The leaders of the demonstration focused on Goodell 's one-year suspension of Tennessee 's Adam "Pacman" Jones under the NFL's personal conduct policy, although Jones has not been convicted of any crime. "We think they should do the same with Michael Vick," .said Dan Shannon, an assistant director of campaigns for PETA. "We don't think their 'wait and see'· attitude goes far enough. If they suspended Pacman Jones, they can suspend Vick." After the Yick was indicted Tuesday, the NFL said it would monitor legal developments in the case .. Yick is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in federal court in Richmond, Va. On Friday, though, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said: "We allree wjth them tbat dogfighting is cruel, degrading and illegal. The alle~ed activities are very disturbmg and we are extremely disappointed Michael Yick has put himself in this position. "We are having extensive dialogue -with numerous groups and individuals, includinjl the ASPCA , and are revtewing all of our options to deal with this as quickly as possible." Sherry Ramsey, a staff attorney for the Humane Society of the United States, said she was disappointed in the league's stance. "There is a precedent in the Jones suspension," she said. Ramsey said her organization wrote to the NFL in May, offering to work with the league to help educate players about dogfighting. She said it did not receive a reply. However, two letters written June 21 by the NFL to the Humane Society, and provided to The Associated Press by the league, said warnings on animal fighting and animal cruelty are now being included in the annual briefings by the league security staff to flayers. Those briefings wil take place at all 32 training camps thi ~ summer. "We are in total agreement that there is no place for animal cruelty and illegal ani· mal fighting and take very seriously the allegations of dog fighting against Michael Yick ," Peter Abitante, Goodell 's personal assistant, wrote nearly a month before Yick's indictment. - --- - - --- - -'" -- - - - - - - -----------· Hyundia Sonata GLS, V6, SunrooL.......................................... - ............................................................$13,900 Chevy Colbalt LS, 4 Door....................,.......................................................................................................$10,900 Mercury Sable, Power s..ts....................................................... _ ...............................................................S6,595 Chevy Impala Only 47,000 miles, Local Tradeln......................~ .............................................................. $8,595 Chevy Malibu LS, V6, PWR Seats, CDfrape, Only 39,000 Miles.............................................................$6,795 Chevy Camaro, V6, Au1o, T-Tops ............................................... ..,...............................................................$6,800 Olds Alero, 2 Doo~ 56,000 Miles.................................................~~............................................................$7,795 Chrysler I'T Cruiser Touring Edilion, Factory Warranty......~ ........................................................$13,500 Hyundai Sona1a LX, Lea1her, heated seats, sunroof, FactOIJ'Y!)lrranty................................................$14,900 Ford Focus SE, 4 dr., Loaded Up, Factory Warranty...............,..~ ............................................................. .$9,500 Cadiliac Eldorado, Local Trade, Exira Clean................................._.............................................................. $7,995 Pontiac Grand Pdx, Factory Warranty....................................... - ............................................................$12,900 Chevy Monte Carlo, 10,000 Miles, Faclory Warranty............. .;..............................................................$15,900 Chrysler I'T Cruiser, Loaded up .........................................:..........................................................................$9,795 Dodge Siralus SXT ........................................................................- ............................................................$11,200 Chevy Impala, Power Seat ..............................................................- ................................................,......... ... 59,995 Pontiac Grand Am, V6, Shatp........................................................................................................................$9,995 Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Red ..........................................................................................................................$9,900 Saturn Ion, 4 Door, Auto, Air, Gas Save~ ................................................................................................. $10,200 Saturn, 4 Door, SL2, Loaded Up .....................................................~................................. ,.............................

BY JIM LITKE AI' SPORTS COLUMNIST 'j ' • .. ~ CARNOUSTIE, Scotland - Now that "The Beverly Hillbillies" is no longer on the telly, Boo Weekley has become Britain's favorite bumpkin. In Friday's episode, the man who never leaves the Florida panhandle for long and was named after his favorite cartoon characterYogi Bear's sidekick, BooBoo - followed up an opening-round 68 with a 72 and was four strokes off the lead midway through the British Open. Afterward, he met with reporters. Q: What about things away from the course, food, things like that? A: It's rough. It's been rough on that food. It's different eatin' here than it is at the house.

On the wrong side of the road? Yes, sir. Weekley would be a great story anywhere. He turns 34 on Monday, 10 years after turning pro and working as a laborer at a chemical plant before that. Weekley finally made it through qualifying school in time for the 2002 PGA Tour season, but finished 200th, lost his playing card and scuffled around· the Nationwide Tour for the next four years. He returned to the big time by finishing seventh on the minor-league circuit's money list in 2006. In 20 events this season, he 's already banked $1.9 million and may be best known in the States - if at all - for missing a heart-wrenching 3-footer for par to win the Honda Classic, then losing in a four-way playoff.

This shot looked like it belonged on the municipal course at Monifieth up the road. Rarer than the shot was the indecision. He practiced a low stinger on the range, but as Woods settled over the ball, he wondered whether that shot might run into a bunker on the right or if he should hit the ball a little higher. Either way, the result was double bogey and a battle to stay in the game. Woods saved par from a bunker on the ninth, from the trees by the burn on No. 10 and with an approach while standing upright on the edge of a fairway bunker on the lith: Garcia could have put . some distance between his challengers, although he still looked very much in control. He didn't have as many birdie chances as Thursday, when he opened with a 65, but he picked his spots. "I'm not going to lie.

His confidence was soaring at the end, so much that he broke a golfer's unwritten code never to say "shank." "I don't mind it," Garcia said.

Gordon said Tony Stewart's win for Joe Gibbs Racing on Sunday is a reminder that despite Hendrick's early dominance, the season is anything but over. "You know that some team is going to step it up, and by getting them a win, that's just going . to give them some momentum," Gordon said. "Right now, we're leading the points, but we've got to be better for sure." Gordon was frustrated by his ninth-place finish on Sunday, · as he and the No. 24 team couldn't quite get his car to handle properly - a byproduct, perhaps, of the recent NASCAR suspension handed down to GOrdon's crew chief. Steve Letarte. Gordon and Johnson both will be without their crew chiefs for three more races because their cars failed a NASCAR technical inspection at Infineon Raceway last month. This is nothing new for Johnson's No. 48 team, which has shown in the past that they can rally without having crew · chief Chad Knaus at the crack. But this is fairly new territory for Gordon's No. 24 team. Gordon said he was "frustrated" after the Chicago race, hich he won last year. "We just really struggled on tting the balance on the car d getting the grip that we needed and we were pretty much a ninth or IOth-place car," Gordon said.

BY JIM LITKE AI' SPORTS COLUMNIST 'j ' • .. ~ CARNOUSTIE, Scotland - Now that "The Beverly Hillbillies" is no longer on the telly, Boo Weekley has become Britain's favorite bumpkin. In Friday's episode, the man who never leaves the Florida panhandle for long and was named after his favorite cartoon characterYogi Bear's sidekick, BooBoo - followed up an opening-round 68 with a 72 and was four strokes off the lead midway through the British Open. Afterward, he met with reporters. Q: What about things away from the course, food, things like that? A: It's rough. It's been rough on that food. It's different eatin' here than it is at the house.

On the wrong side of the road? Yes, sir. Weekley would be a great story anywhere. He turns 34 on Monday, 10 years after turning pro and working as a laborer at a chemical plant before that. Weekley finally made it through qualifying school in time for the 2002 PGA Tour season, but finished 200th, lost his playing card and scuffled around· the Nationwide Tour for the next four years. He returned to the big time by finishing seventh on the minor-league circuit's money list in 2006. In 20 events this season, he 's already banked $1.9 million and may be best known in the States - if at all - for missing a heart-wrenching 3-footer for par to win the Honda Classic, then losing in a four-way playoff.

This shot looked like it belonged on the municipal course at Monifieth up the road. Rarer than the shot was the indecision. He practiced a low stinger on the range, but as Woods settled over the ball, he wondered whether that shot might run into a bunker on the right or if he should hit the ball a little higher. Either way, the result was double bogey and a battle to stay in the game. Woods saved par from a bunker on the ninth, from the trees by the burn on No. 10 and with an approach while standing upright on the edge of a fairway bunker on the lith: Garcia could have put . some distance between his challengers, although he still looked very much in control. He didn't have as many birdie chances as Thursday, when he opened with a 65, but he picked his spots. "I'm not going to lie.

His confidence was soaring at the end, so much that he broke a golfer's unwritten code never to say "shank." "I don't mind it," Garcia said.

Gordon said Tony Stewart's win for Joe Gibbs Racing on Sunday is a reminder that despite Hendrick's early dominance, the season is anything but over. "You know that some team is going to step it up, and by getting them a win, that's just going . to give them some momentum," Gordon said. "Right now, we're leading the points, but we've got to be better for sure." Gordon was frustrated by his ninth-place finish on Sunday, · as he and the No. 24 team couldn't quite get his car to handle properly - a byproduct, perhaps, of the recent NASCAR suspension handed down to GOrdon's crew chief. Steve Letarte. Gordon and Johnson both will be without their crew chiefs for three more races because their cars failed a NASCAR technical inspection at Infineon Raceway last month. This is nothing new for Johnson's No. 48 team, which has shown in the past that they can rally without having crew · chief Chad Knaus at the crack. But this is fairly new territory for Gordon's No. 24 team. Gordon said he was "frustrated" after the Chicago race, hich he won last year. "We just really struggled on tting the balance on the car d getting the grip that we needed and we were pretty much a ninth or IOth-place car," Gordon said.

Angeles County Sheriff's Department Deputy Azarn Flores knows all too well what kind of excitement 9year-old Elsa Zargoza could be in for if she weren't in Akron this week competing in the AllSoap Box American Derby. "The area in South Central L.A. where she live s is so bad, normal people . can't comprehend 1t," Flores said Tuesday. " A month ago, she walked outside of the twobedroom apartment on 83rd and Compton she shares with seven other people and there was a guy who had been murdered the night before just lying on the ground a block away. " And if she were sitting on her front porch today, instead of being here at . Derby Downs, there 's a chance there would be bullets flying all over the place." Elsa, a fourth-grader at Parrnellee Elementary School , carne to Akron with her father, Jose , and her two me1,1tors from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Flores and Deputy Roger McNichols. Davy Cardenas, a 16year-old junior from Lakewood High School in Lakewood, Calif., also is racing in Saturday's AllAmerican through a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's program to give at-risk boys and girls in high-crime areas a chance to get on a path to a better life. · The sheriff's departrneqt foots the bill for the race cars and travel expenses for the local champion and a family member. Deputy Becky Cocova, who raced in the AllAmerican in 1987 , is Davy 's mentor. Cocova's father, Howard Brust, who retired as a sergeant from the sheriff's department , was the driving force behind the program. Brust was born in Pittsburgh and, as a child, raced for four years in San Diego. He never lost derby fever. After Cocova and another daughter raced in the All-American, he was looking for a way to get back into racing. "I talked to a local race director and he told me to find a poor kid and get him into racing," Brust said. "I got Jesse Carlos in it, and he won two years later in 1994. "The sheriff at the time fouf\d out about it and thought it was great. He got the Soap Box Derby in the department's Youth Activity League. We applied for funding and got it." Jesse Carlos turned out to be a wonderful poster child for the program. "Jes se went on to graduate from college," Brust said, "and he now has a great job with Sony as a computer engineer:". Brust, .who, is back in Akron th1s .week as part of the Los Angeles contingent, said many of the rac ers he ' s helped over the past 15 years have gone to 2007 (Summerkill' a common occurrence in Ohio ponds "All the fish irt my pond are dying!" "Somebody poisoned my pond!" These are relatively common complaints heard during the summer, and in most cases it isn't a matter of poisoning or disease that is killing your fish, but a rather cornnion ph~nornenon called Sunday, July 22, 2007 In the .Open sumrnertlill. The hot, still days of summer, coupled with a few days of clouds sets up the next thunderstonn to be the "perfect storm" for fish kills. What haJ!pens · as summer progresses IS that your pond water loses oxygen, generally starting with the bottom of the pond. The bottom layer of water, which has little or no oxygen, continues to grow until it dominates the pond. Then a windstorm or heavy rainfall causes the two layers to mix, resulting in insufficient oxygen throughout the pond. "Turnover" is another term used to describe summerkiU. SumrnerkiU is closely associated with cloudy, hot and .still days, large-scale die-offs of microscopic plants, sudden thennal turnovers or inversions caused by thunderstonns and chemical treatment of aquatic plants or weeds. SummerkiU seems to occur more frequently in old ponds full of plants and other aquatic vegetation, or smaller ponds that are heavily stocked with regularly fed fish. Ponds, if managed correctly,' are relatively high maintenance, and a lot of work begin& with a proper design and locati6n. Deep ponds with steep banks seem to be more resistant to fish die-offs, and ponds should always be · located away from septic tank fiel& or other sources of nutrients that can cause algae to grow. The use of aquatic herbicides in your pond can also result in a fish kill. "But the label saxs the stuff is hannless to·fish! ' you say, and that is . oartly correct. It isn't the herbicide itself that kills your tlsh, but the dead, rotting Jim Freeman plant matter uses up all the oxBgen, resulting in the dead tis . enerally the first sign of an impending fish die-off is the siglll of fish "gasping" on the surface during the day or · early evening. Uruortunately, by that point, there is little that can be done to stop the process and the next morning may fmd your fish floating on the surface, and the pond will generally have an oily, stagnant a~ce and .smeU which IS probably why people often assume their pond has been poisoned. Ponds that are prone to fish die-offs can be oxygenated; there are a v3riety ofbubblers, sprayers and the like that can help add o)lygen to your pond, preventing summerkill. Aerators also help prevent a similar pond disaster, winterkill, although we don't seem to get too much of that here. . A lot of information 011 fish die-offs and other pond problems can be found m the Ohio Pond Management Handbook, which is available at tbe Meigs SWCD Office for $2.25. So if someday this summer you fmd .all the fish in your pond have gone to that big lake in the sk.y, don't automatically assume they were the vicllms of disease or foul play, most likely your fish have fallen prey to that old pond malady summerkill. college. victory in the super stock "This program is very division during the May 12 important for at-risk chil- races down Third Street in dren," he said .

Angeles County Sheriff's Department Deputy Azarn Flores knows all too well what kind of excitement 9year-old Elsa Zargoza could be in for if she weren't in Akron this week competing in the AllSoap Box American Derby. "The area in South Central L.A. where she live s is so bad, normal people . can't comprehend 1t," Flores said Tuesday. " A month ago, she walked outside of the twobedroom apartment on 83rd and Compton she shares with seven other people and there was a guy who had been murdered the night before just lying on the ground a block away. " And if she were sitting on her front porch today, instead of being here at . Derby Downs, there 's a chance there would be bullets flying all over the place." Elsa, a fourth-grader at Parrnellee Elementary School , carne to Akron with her father, Jose , and her two me1,1tors from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Flores and Deputy Roger McNichols. Davy Cardenas, a 16year-old junior from Lakewood High School in Lakewood, Calif., also is racing in Saturday's AllAmerican through a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's program to give at-risk boys and girls in high-crime areas a chance to get on a path to a better life. · The sheriff's departrneqt foots the bill for the race cars and travel expenses for the local champion and a family member. Deputy Becky Cocova, who raced in the AllAmerican in 1987 , is Davy 's mentor. Cocova's father, Howard Brust, who retired as a sergeant from the sheriff's department , was the driving force behind the program. Brust was born in Pittsburgh and, as a child, raced for four years in San Diego. He never lost derby fever. After Cocova and another daughter raced in the All-American, he was looking for a way to get back into racing. "I talked to a local race director and he told me to find a poor kid and get him into racing," Brust said. "I got Jesse Carlos in it, and he won two years later in 1994. "The sheriff at the time fouf\d out about it and thought it was great. He got the Soap Box Derby in the department's Youth Activity League. We applied for funding and got it." Jesse Carlos turned out to be a wonderful poster child for the program. "Jes se went on to graduate from college," Brust said, "and he now has a great job with Sony as a computer engineer:". Brust, .who, is back in Akron th1s .week as part of the Los Angeles contingent, said many of the rac ers he ' s helped over the past 15 years have gone to 2007 (Summerkill' a common occurrence in Ohio ponds "All the fish irt my pond are dying!" "Somebody poisoned my pond!" These are relatively common complaints heard during the summer, and in most cases it isn't a matter of poisoning or disease that is killing your fish, but a rather cornnion ph~nornenon called Sunday, July 22, 2007 In the .Open sumrnertlill. The hot, still days of summer, coupled with a few days of clouds sets up the next thunderstonn to be the "perfect storm" for fish kills. What haJ!pens · as summer progresses IS that your pond water loses oxygen, generally starting with the bottom of the pond. The bottom layer of water, which has little or no oxygen, continues to grow until it dominates the pond. Then a windstorm or heavy rainfall causes the two layers to mix, resulting in insufficient oxygen throughout the pond. "Turnover" is another term used to describe summerkiU. SumrnerkiU is closely associated with cloudy, hot and .still days, large-scale die-offs of microscopic plants, sudden thennal turnovers or inversions caused by thunderstonns and chemical treatment of aquatic plants or weeds. SummerkiU seems to occur more frequently in old ponds full of plants and other aquatic vegetation, or smaller ponds that are heavily stocked with regularly fed fish. Ponds, if managed correctly,' are relatively high maintenance, and a lot of work begin& with a proper design and locati6n. Deep ponds with steep banks seem to be more resistant to fish die-offs, and ponds should always be · located away from septic tank fiel& or other sources of nutrients that can cause algae to grow. The use of aquatic herbicides in your pond can also result in a fish kill. "But the label saxs the stuff is hannless to·fish! ' you say, and that is . oartly correct. It isn't the herbicide itself that kills your tlsh, but the dead, rotting Jim Freeman plant matter uses up all the oxBgen, resulting in the dead tis . enerally the first sign of an impending fish die-off is the siglll of fish "gasping" on the surface during the day or · early evening. Uruortunately, by that point, there is little that can be done to stop the process and the next morning may fmd your fish floating on the surface, and the pond will generally have an oily, stagnant a~ce and .smeU which IS probably why people often assume their pond has been poisoned. Ponds that are prone to fish die-offs can be oxygenated; there are a v3riety ofbubblers, sprayers and the like that can help add o)lygen to your pond, preventing summerkill. Aerators also help prevent a similar pond disaster, winterkill, although we don't seem to get too much of that here. . A lot of information 011 fish die-offs and other pond problems can be found m the Ohio Pond Management Handbook, which is available at tbe Meigs SWCD Office for $2.25. So if someday this summer you fmd .all the fish in your pond have gone to that big lake in the sk.y, don't automatically assume they were the vicllms of disease or foul play, most likely your fish have fallen prey to that old pond malady summerkill. college. victory in the super stock "This program is very division during the May 12 important for at-risk chil- races down Third Street in dren," he said .

"Floods are like wars; they fill history books," wrote Chester Tannehill, editor of the Sentinel many years ago, in a story he wrote about Bend area floods dating back to 1847. Tannehill had g9tten his inforlnation from William Fisher of MinersviUe, who · was also a newspaper mail, who had. gotten 'it from Edward Turnbull.

This is praise-worthy, and we hope the hint here given · .,ill be acted upon." It should be noted that in the late summer of 1862, Gallipolis had a rathe( large Union hospital on . the grounds of what is now.the Gallipolis Developmental Center. While these . men were supplied with "Spartan rations" by the government, their only source of fruits and vege.tables came frl>m organizations like the Ladies Aid Society or their families. The canning process in 1862 was quite complicat- ' ed. First a person would cook the fruit or. vegetilbltls to be canned. Then they would put it into tin~plated iron or steel cans and the lid was soldered to the can. It was in 1856 that Henry Bessemer discovered a method of making steel from cast iron. A small hole would be punched into the lid. Then the cans would be placed in a boiling water bath unti I the contents were boiling about 30 minutes. Steam escaped from the hole. The hole was then soldered to seal the contents. If the seal was complete, the ends of the cans would be drawn in.

EISTEDDFOD JACKSON The national Welsh Eisteddfod will be held in -Wales in August, but another Eisteddfod was held recently in southern Ohio. Jeanne Jindra, assistant director for the Madog Center for Welsh Studies at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College, explained that in Wales the Eisteddfod is a traditional weeklong singing competition. People come from all over Wales and all over the world for the Welsh singing competition that features solos, ensembles, choral recitations and even poetry readings, Jindra said. The National Eisteddfod of Wales celebration is usually held in August. Southern Ohio has a rich Welsh heritage and has had its own Eisteddfod in the !ackson City School District since 1924. In the past, many schools in southern Ohio and around the countr·y held Eisteddfod singing competitions. The tradition has died in many school di stricts, but is still going strong in Jackson. "It is one of the only schools to still hold an Eisteddfod," Jindra said. The Madog Center provides assistance with the event every year. This year's program featured soloists, ensembles, choral'songs, pianists and instrumental performances. "There was a wide range of performances," Jindra said. "I heard some wonderful singers." One singer in particular who stood out was Zach Hill, Jindra said. "He did such an outstanding job," she said. Hill won the first place award for high school soloists. The wi'nners for the event included the following: • On the piano, Morgan Duncan won first plac e and Aaron Long won second place. • In the middle school instrumental competition, Julia . Wright won first place, Jeremy Carroll and Brady Reynolds tied for second place, and Logan Maynard earned the third place honors . • In the middle school vocal competition, the Boys Quartet finished in first place, the Chamber Ensemble finished in second place and Heather Thieken finished in third place. • · In the high sc hool vocal competition, Zach Hill finished in first place, L;IJJra Patton earned second place honors and Amber Leach, Greg L~ach and Emily Poe all tied for third place. Jindra said she and the judges at the Eisteddfod were very impressed with all of the students who took part .in the competition. "The~ just did a wonderful JOb," Jindra said.

Hls jar was a considerable improvement over earlier attempts, especially in the ease .of producing the seaL The process the 19th century homemaker used to preserve jars was very much similar to the hot water bath process that we use today. The jars were also somewhat similar in appearance and were available in halfgallon, quart .and pint sizes. The maJor difference was that the lid was a single piece made of zinc coated steel (the lids were porcehiin lined at a later tirrie after users coml'lained about the zinc taintmg the flavor of their foods) with a separat~ rubber ring that fit at the bottom of the lid on the 'shoulder' of the jar." Such jars were just starting to be used in Gallia County in 1862. For the real trivia buff, it was in 1868 that cans with a key opener were first used. Tuna fish in the can came along in 1909. Citrus products were first put in cans in 1921 · and canned hams carne out about 1926. The first electric can opener was placed on the market in 1931. Spam was first introduced in 1937. The name was taken from SPiced hAM. Soft drinks in cans were introduced in 1940. All aluminum cans came along in 1957, pull tab cans in 1962 and the six-pack in 1973.

Since the can opener was not invented until 1858 and not commonly available until the 1870s, most ·soldiers probably used a bayonet to open the cans. Housewives used a hammer and chisel. It was commonly believed in 1862 that the tricls. to canning was to eliminate the oxygen and that the boiling bath did that.

He was here last weekend, visited with his mother who still li ves in Browntown and other relatives, and took in the Rhythm on the River concert in the amphitheater to hear some good music of course. but most of all to circulate and visit with old friends. Tom has been mayor of his city for many years but told me his term ends this rear and he won't be seek'mg re-election. Rather, he's going to concentrate on his ministry.

EISTEDDFOD JACKSON The national Welsh Eisteddfod will be held in -Wales in August, but another Eisteddfod was held recently in southern Ohio. Jeanne Jindra, assistant director for the Madog Center for Welsh Studies at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College, explained that in Wales the Eisteddfod is a traditional weeklong singing competition. People come from all over Wales and all over the world for the Welsh singing competition that features solos, ensembles, choral recitations and even poetry readings, Jindra said. The National Eisteddfod of Wales celebration is usually held in August. Southern Ohio has a rich Welsh heritage and has had its own Eisteddfod in the !ackson City School District since 1924. In the past, many schools in southern Ohio and around the countr·y held Eisteddfod singing competitions. The tradition has died in many school di stricts, but is still going strong in Jackson. "It is one of the only schools to still hold an Eisteddfod," Jindra said. The Madog Center provides assistance with the event every year. This year's program featured soloists, ensembles, choral'songs, pianists and instrumental performances. "There was a wide range of performances," Jindra said. "I heard some wonderful singers." One singer in particular who stood out was Zach Hill, Jindra said. "He did such an outstanding job," she said. Hill won the first place award for high school soloists. The wi'nners for the event included the following: • On the piano, Morgan Duncan won first plac e and Aaron Long won second place. • In the middle school instrumental competition, Julia . Wright won first place, Jeremy Carroll and Brady Reynolds tied for second place, and Logan Maynard earned the third place honors . • In the middle school vocal competition, the Boys Quartet finished in first place, the Chamber Ensemble finished in second place and Heather Thieken finished in third place. • · In the high sc hool vocal competition, Zach Hill finished in first place, L;IJJra Patton earned second place honors and Amber Leach, Greg L~ach and Emily Poe all tied for third place. Jindra said she and the judges at the Eisteddfod were very impressed with all of the students who took part .in the competition. "The~ just did a wonderful JOb," Jindra said.

Hls jar was a considerable improvement over earlier attempts, especially in the ease .of producing the seaL The process the 19th century homemaker used to preserve jars was very much similar to the hot water bath process that we use today. The jars were also somewhat similar in appearance and were available in halfgallon, quart .and pint sizes. The maJor difference was that the lid was a single piece made of zinc coated steel (the lids were porcehiin lined at a later tirrie after users coml'lained about the zinc taintmg the flavor of their foods) with a separat~ rubber ring that fit at the bottom of the lid on the 'shoulder' of the jar." Such jars were just starting to be used in Gallia County in 1862. For the real trivia buff, it was in 1868 that cans with a key opener were first used. Tuna fish in the can came along in 1909. Citrus products were first put in cans in 1921 · and canned hams carne out about 1926. The first electric can opener was placed on the market in 1931. Spam was first introduced in 1937. The name was taken from SPiced hAM. Soft drinks in cans were introduced in 1940. All aluminum cans came along in 1957, pull tab cans in 1962 and the six-pack in 1973.

He was here last weekend, visited with his mother who still li ves in Browntown and other relatives, and took in the Rhythm on the River concert in the amphitheater to hear some good music of course. but most of all to circulate and visit with old friends. Tom has been mayor of his city for many years but told me his term ends this rear and he won't be seek'mg re-election. Rather, he's going to concentrate on his ministry.

"I .Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry," a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, language and drug references. Running time: 115 minutes. One star out of four. AP MOVIE CRITIC I . ,.' •I, As you ' ve probably guessed from the TV commercials, or even just the billboards, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" is a one-joke movie - and that joke might have seemed edgy back in 1977, when Billy Crystal was playing a gay man on ''Soap." (Speaking of which, and in case you were wondering, yes, there is a soapdropping refer·ence Jr> m here.) Crystal's fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum Adam Sandler and likable lug Kevin James play Brooklyn firefighters ~ho pretend they're a couple to receive domestic partner benefits. This sets up a litany of obvious gags and adolescent one-liners, followed by a swift, politically correct embrace of gay culture. Director Deitnis Dugan ("Happy Gilmore," "Big Daddy," say no more) wants to have it both ways but never gets either right. It might seem offensive if it weren't so lame. Sandler's Chuck Levine and James' Larry Valentine try to convince the world they're gay by picking up Wham! . and Barry Manilow COs and professing that they're "riding the dude train." They do this because Larry, a widower, is concerned that his kids won't receive life insurance if he dies in a fire .

"I .Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry," a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, language and drug references. Running time: 115 minutes. One star out of four. AP MOVIE CRITIC I . ,.' •I, As you ' ve probably guessed from the TV commercials, or even just the billboards, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" is a one-joke movie - and that joke might have seemed edgy back in 1977, when Billy Crystal was playing a gay man on ''Soap." (Speaking of which, and in case you were wondering, yes, there is a soapdropping refer·ence Jr> m here.) Crystal's fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum Adam Sandler and likable lug Kevin James play Brooklyn firefighters ~ho pretend they're a couple to receive domestic partner benefits. This sets up a litany of obvious gags and adolescent one-liners, followed by a swift, politically correct embrace of gay culture. Director Deitnis Dugan ("Happy Gilmore," "Big Daddy," say no more) wants to have it both ways but never gets either right. It might seem offensive if it weren't so lame. Sandler's Chuck Levine and James' Larry Valentine try to convince the world they're gay by picking up Wham! . and Barry Manilow COs and professing that they're "riding the dude train." They do this because Larry, a widower, is concerned that his kids won't receive life insurance if he dies in a fire . (Among the flat subplots, Larry's young daughter is a tomboy who loves baseball, while his son is practicin~ · his tap routine to audition for "Pippin.") Suddenly, their fellow firefighters stop playing pick-up basketball with them and feel nervous about showering around them.

This dominating Texas Longhorn is owned by Kirk Dickinson of Dickinson Cattle Co., Barnesville. The first show .was the Ohio River Valley Texas Longhorn Association annual show at Waynesville, Ohio. Jester was Junior Champion Cow, but her dam Ju-Ju defeated her for the All Age Champion Female. The judge was Dr. June Cohron of Virginia. The second show was the annual North Eastern Texas Longhorn Association spon·sored show at Frederick, Md., on July 7. Judge Danielle Andrews of Texas selected Jester as All Age Champion Female of the !!how. The second day of the two-day event, Judge Bryan Gilvesy of Ontario, Canada, again gave Jester the All Age Champion Female award. · · Jester is a June. 2004 daughter of Winehester and out of Ju.Ju by Jet Jockey.

The recC<nt rainy days that we have seen in Gallia County has not changed that J,evel of concern until now. The reason for the change is the fact that Blue Mold has shown up in Kentucky. Hopefully, our level of concern is still low due to the fact that most of tl)e storm systems have not come directly north from the area where blue mold has been found, to Gallia County, or any of southern Ohio for that matter. The thought is that the pattern of concern is well east of Gallia County. In fact, eastern Kentucky, and even southeastern Pennsylvania are where the weather patterns have · gone from this region. However, as the crop continues to grow rapidly with the moisture in most · areas of the county, the tobacco is susceptible if the spores did travel into our area. Some tobacco is already topped. Others are within a week or two . The cost of a preventati ve . application . of Actigard might be well worth the money. Consider it to be like an insurance policy.

It takes four or five days for the protection to kick in and the tobacco should be at least 18 inches tall. If you consider the cost, even if it costs you $50 per acre, that is only · about 30 pounds of tobacco. It does not take much blue mold to see a loss of 30 pounds per acre. ·Another option is Quadris, which can be applied to tobacco for blue mold as a preventative. This will give quicker protection than Actigard. Actigard can be applied over the top. Quadns can be, too, but the protection is much better with drop nozzles. Quadri's will penetrate the leaves, but it is not a total systemic product. In other words, it will protect the bottom side of the leaves that it is sprayed onto, but · it does not proteet the lower leaves on the plant unless the spray actually reaches those leaves.

This dominating Texas Longhorn is owned by Kirk Dickinson of Dickinson Cattle Co., Barnesville. The first show .was the Ohio River Valley Texas Longhorn Association annual show at Waynesville, Ohio. Jester was Junior Champion Cow, but her dam Ju-Ju defeated her for the All Age Champion Female. The judge was Dr. June Cohron of Virginia. The second show was the annual North Eastern Texas Longhorn Association spon·sored show at Frederick, Md., on July 7. Judge Danielle Andrews of Texas selected Jester as All Age Champion Female of the !!how. The second day of the two-day event, Judge Bryan Gilvesy of Ontario, Canada, again gave Jester the All Age Champion Female award. · · Jester is a June. 2004 daughter of Winehester and out of Ju.Ju by Jet Jockey.

The recC<nt rainy days that we have seen in Gallia County has not changed that J,evel of concern until now. The reason for the change is the fact that Blue Mold has shown up in Kentucky. Hopefully, our level of concern is still low due to the fact that most of tl)e storm systems have not come directly north from the area where blue mold has been found, to Gallia County, or any of southern Ohio for that matter. The thought is that the pattern of concern is well east of Gallia County. In fact, eastern Kentucky, and even southeastern Pennsylvania are where the weather patterns have · gone from this region. However, as the crop continues to grow rapidly with the moisture in most · areas of the county, the tobacco is susceptible if the spores did travel into our area. Some tobacco is already topped. Others are within a week or two . The cost of a preventati ve . application . of Actigard might be well worth the money. Consider it to be like an insurance policy.

It takes four or five days for the protection to kick in and the tobacco should be at least 18 inches tall. If you consider the cost, even if it costs you $50 per acre, that is only · about 30 pounds of tobacco. It does not take much blue mold to see a loss of 30 pounds per acre. ·Another option is Quadris, which can be applied to tobacco for blue mold as a preventative. This will give quicker protection than Actigard. Actigard can be applied over the top. Quadns can be, too, but the protection is much better with drop nozzles. Quadri's will penetrate the leaves, but it is not a total systemic product. In other words, it will protect the bottom side of the leaves that it is sprayed onto, but · it does not proteet the lower leaves on the plant unless the spray actually reaches those leaves.

The best way to deal with cedar-apple rust is to avoid it altogether by planting a rust-resistant variety of crab apple or apple.

Meij~s County Commissioner Mick Davenport said the county expects to hear in September whether it will be approved in the latest round of funding for a Federally-Qualified Health Care access point Until that decision is announced, Davenport said, plans for the site selected as a possible site for a new hospital and urgent care facility will be tabled. Commissioners are working with at leas.t one area health care organization to develop plans for a 24-hour emergency room, health clinic and other health. care services at the site purchased by the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation. While the organization has expressed interest in working with the county to locate on the site, no commitment has been made, and no additional plans will be forthcoming until the September decision on the FQHC application, Davenport said The Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation pure~ the site near Meigs High School to allow the county to pursue funding and negotiate with a health care provider for a medical campus. Commissioners hope a full-service hospital will eventually materialize. Family Health Care, which operates FQHC access points in Athens, Hocking, Ross and .Vmton Counties, is the applicant agency for the latest attempt to secure funding. Please see H•lth.

Battle reenactment brings history to lif~ ' BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM PORTLAND - Driving along Ohio 124 yesterday near Portland, motorists noticed a strange mist rising out of the cornfields along with the sound of thunder which upon closer inspection revealed itself to be Civil War era cannon recreating the !44th Anniversary of The Battle of Buffington Island. The weather couldn't have been much better, especially for the many reenactors recreating the battle in heavy, wool uniforms. Spectators watched as the reenactors engaged in cannon fire and infant!')(, battles which once again ended with the Confederates retreating to the Ohio River because the reenactors see no need to change history, only celebrate it. After the battle, the soldiers returned to their camps at Buffington Island Memorial Park thanks to the modem conveniences of pickup trucks and a school bus from the Southern Local School District. Occasionally a spectator might spot an infantryman on hi s cell phone while wondering through thejark which Ejlso welcomed sutlers such as a blacksmith an candle maker, among others. Sutlers were the modem day equivalent of a traveling box store with everything from liquor to food to sell to soldiers. After the battle, historian Henry Burke gave a presentation on the Underground Railroad in Meigs County at the Portland Community Center which served refreshments and made breakfast for the reeriactors. Also at the center. the Buffington Island Civil War Museum was open for the first time with its new flooring and display of photos from the 2006 Morgan's Raid.
