If that statement shocks you, please allow me to back it \IP with facts : A few days ago; the ACLU announced It will · sue , Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on behalf of eight foreign nationals who say they were abused by American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The ACLU contends that the· ultimate responsibiHty for the physical and psychological injuries sustained by the men lies. at the highest levels of the U.S. govern-. ment. Thus, Rumsfeld is their poster boy. By the way, the word "alleged" is not mentioned by the ACLU in their brief. The suit is a farce and will go nowhere, I. predict.. The terror war is now three and a half years old, there are more than 300,000 American forces deployed around the · world, and the allegations torture of Bill O'Reilly :against those forces number about 300. That is very, very low. The ACLU is simply blowing far left smoke, doing what it usually does: undermining policies it dislikes. , There is no question the . ACLU opposes just about every pro-active measure taken to fight terror. Consider the following: • The ACLU opposes the Patriot Act. But,· in 2003. when asked by liberal Senator Dianne Feinstein to produce examples of government abuse under the . act, the ACLU did not pro<!uce one. • The ACLU opposes the "No· Fly List" complied by . the , Transportation Security Administration . to keep ~unbav irtmrs ,~rnftnrl • PQmeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis · Sunday, March 6, 2005 ' The terror tactics of the ACLU &unbap Qtime6 -&en.tinel .~unbap PageA4 ..

The new figures. based on just under 1.200 tests. compare with 5 to 7 percent positive results in 2003 ' the first season that major league players were tested. Selig said the test results "startled me and a Jot of other people." ' · "I arn- very confident that we will effectively rid our sport of steroids in this coming season," he said at a news conference. The te st~ in 2003-04 were done under .the 2002 collec. tive bargaining agreement adhering to a program far less stringent than the one adopted by major league baseball and the players' union this year. The new program implementeel this week includes an unannounced test of every player, other random testing and tests in the offseason. 'Tm comfortable in telling you that we've not only dealt with our problem, but we will finish what we started," Selig said. ''There always will be some exceptions, but I' m · very comfortable with what we ' ve done." Selig also said the minor league testing program has dropped from 11 percent positive tests in 2001 to I .7 percent last season. · The commissioner emphatically refuted the notion that baseball owners looked the other way froin the steroid problem because they loved the popularity of the homerun binge of the late 1990s. He said he had never heard an owner, manager, player or anyone else involved in the sport voice that feeling. "Do I wish that I knew in 1995 or 1996 what I know today about this after all the hours I've spent?" Selig said. "Of course I do. I would be less than honest if I didn't say that. We're just learning a lot of things now. But we've hired the best people we have, we've gone to Olympic labs. And I think our programs are as consistently good as anybody else.

Police in Van Wert and Putnam counties were investigating the man but had not made an arrest. Authorities said they're not sure what his motives are. "If there is a crime here, it's going to be stalking,"· "said Ottawa police officer Mike Schroth . "He's not doing it just once." The man, whom police have not identified, has been telling the girls that he was assisting the head coach for the women's basteam at the ketball Univ~:rsity of Toledo. Paul Helgren, a spokesman for Toledo's athletic department, sa id the man is clearly an impostor. According to police , the man talked with a Van Wert High School player as she was leaving the locker room at Ottawa-Glandorf High School ·after a game on Feb. 12. The girl gave the man her phone number, and he called her twice and offered her a ride to a To,edo game. She told her father and he called police. The man also approached a player from · P~rry High . School near Lima after a game ·in February and went to her house to talk with her parents, Schroth said. Only coaches and assistant coaches are permitted to recruit, and coaches rontinely notify high school s when they plan to attend games or practices, Helgren said. · "That's very ·strange," he sai d.

April Rice Keep in mind, however, that you'll still need to have considenible growth potential in your holdings, particl!larly if you have many years left until retirement. · • Consistently set aside money for taxes- If you pay your tax.es quarterly, as many self employed people do, you don't want to scramble for cash every three months. So, every time you get paid, put away some money for taxes, preferably in a liquid vehicle, such as a money market · account. Generally speaking, it's a good idea to set aside as much as 40 percent of your income. Even if you don't need all that money at tax time, it certainly won't hurt to have it around. If you don't have enough liquid cash . to pay your taxes, you may be forced to dip into your investments - and that could slow your progress toward your financial goals. • Keep track of all potential deductions - Be diligent about claiming all businessrelated tax deductions that you can get, such as percentages of your mortgage, insur- ance and utilities, office ,supplies , educational materials related to your work, etc. You can benefit greatly from working with a tax professional - someone who can tell you exactly what deductions you 're entitled to claim. • Look for "group buying" opportunities - If you are self employed; and working out of your home,. you can feel isolated. But actually, you're not alone; there are many other home-based workers out there, just !ike you. And if you can .hook up with these people, you may be able to increase your buying power by obtaining group dis" counts on office supplies, health insurance and other necessities. You can find out more about these group-buying opportunities in magazines and Web sites devoted to entrepreneurs. · Running your own homebased business can be exhilarating - and scary. But by making smart financial moves, you can lower the "fear factor" and devote more of your time and energy to making your business sueceed. (April E. Rice is an in~est­ ment representative . with Edward Jones Investments located at 990A Second Ave. in Gallipolis, phone 441· 9441. · Edward ]o11es ·has been serving individual investors since 1871, member Securities Investor Protection Corp.) INDlA.N HEAD WASN'T QUITE SO RARE, IT S'E EMS - BY JAMES SANDS In 1938 the Columbus Dispatch reported : "High up on a rock cliff at 'Vanden Point' ne<ir Gallipoli s, · has been discovered a chiseled outline of .an Indian's head with a feather headdress. 'The design, believed to ·have been traced by an original artist probably hundreds .of years ago, recently came the light after rains freed 'the cliff face of an accumulation of moss and silt." . The Dispatch.- article went on to tell that the point where the Indian carving was found overlooked a former Indian village. Proof of that fact, it said, could be found in the number of arrowheads, stone axes and mortars that could be found in a cave nearby. It was reported that numer. ous persons had visited the · cliff and viewed the design and said that they believed ihat the ·carving was well over I :;o years old. The Dispatch story went out on the Associated Press wire and soon newspapers from quite a distance around along with Indian relic hunters and historians ·had come to see the artifact. That Indians · inhabited Gallipolis: there can be no· doubt. When the · French came in 1790 they found a large mound in what would today be the City Park. The mound many have been from the Fort Ancient Indians who also built an em1hen enclosure overlooking the Ohio River at Swan Creek about -the tiine of .Colum bus' discovery of America. In the first decade of the French settlement here, a summer house had been built on top of that mound in the City Park. There · were only two instances of problems with · Indians in Gallipolis history after it was settled by European Americans. During the building in 1790 of the ·blockhouse by the men hired by the Ohio Company, the area surrounding the now City Park was all forest. It seems that all of the men but one had gone out to drag logs back to where the blockhouses were being built (present City Park). It was then that a .party of Indians slipped into the blockhouse and scalped the worker who had been left behind. The man's hands were terribly cut and hacked, showing that he had put up quite a struggle before succumbing to his fate. That other Indian episode in Gallipolis history involved a man who wanted some privacy and so he built in 1792 a cabin .a few· miles from the main settlement, probably in what later came to be called East Gallipolis. When it became noticed that no one · had seen the man in town for . several days, a party was sent to his house. It was discovered that the man had been . murdered and scalped while he slept in his own bed. The story of the Indian heallllress carved at Vanden's Point and found in 1938 continued to interest people. It seems that for some time a man living in Florida knew about a solution to the mystery of the headdress, but he had kept quiet. Then in an editorial in the Weekly Press published at Clefll\ont, Fla., . Jim Booten stated that he had been laughing about this story for some time and could. no longer contain himself. In the Feb. 16; I 939, edi· lion of the Gallipolis · Daily Tribune we read: "But Jim knows how that Indian's head was carv.ed on the face of the rock, for 60 years ago as a boy he and tliree chums were playing in the cave nearby as pirates, robbers and Indians and with a chisel brought from home, they carved the head while at play.

April Rice Keep in mind, however, that you'll still need to have considenible growth potential in your holdings, particl!larly if you have many years left until retirement. · • Consistently set aside money for taxes- If you pay your tax.es quarterly, as many self employed people do, you don't want to scramble for cash every three months. So, every time you get paid, put away some money for taxes, preferably in a liquid vehicle, such as a money market · account. Generally speaking, it's a good idea to set aside as much as 40 percent of your income. Even if you don't need all that money at tax time, it certainly won't hurt to have it around. If you don't have enough liquid cash . to pay your taxes, you may be forced to dip into your investments - and that could slow your progress toward your financial goals. • Keep track of all potential deductions - Be diligent about claiming all businessrelated tax deductions that you can get, such as percentages of your mortgage, insur- ance and utilities, office ,supplies , educational materials related to your work, etc. You can benefit greatly from working with a tax professional - someone who can tell you exactly what deductions you 're entitled to claim. • Look for "group buying" opportunities - If you are self employed; and working out of your home,. you can feel isolated. But actually, you're not alone; there are many other home-based workers out there, just !ike you. And if you can .hook up with these people, you may be able to increase your buying power by obtaining group dis" counts on office supplies, health insurance and other necessities. You can find out more about these group-buying opportunities in magazines and Web sites devoted to entrepreneurs. · Running your own homebased business can be exhilarating - and scary. But by making smart financial moves, you can lower the "fear factor" and devote more of your time and energy to making your business sueceed. (April E.

INDlA.N HEAD WASN'T QUITE SO RARE, IT S'E EMS - BY JAMES SANDS In 1938 the Columbus Dispatch reported : "High up on a rock cliff at 'Vanden Point' ne<ir Gallipoli s, · has been discovered a chiseled outline of .an Indian's head with a feather headdress. 'The design, believed to ·have been traced by an original artist probably hundreds .of years ago, recently came the light after rains freed 'the cliff face of an accumulation of moss and silt." . The Dispatch.- article went on to tell that the point where the Indian carving was found overlooked a former Indian village. Proof of that fact, it said, could be found in the number of arrowheads, stone axes and mortars that could be found in a cave nearby. It was reported that numer. ous persons had visited the · cliff and viewed the design and said that they believed ihat the ·carving was well over I :;o years old. The Dispatch story went out on the Associated Press wire and soon newspapers from quite a distance around along with Indian relic hunters and historians ·had come to see the artifact. That Indians · inhabited Gallipolis: there can be no· doubt. When the · French came in 1790 they found a large mound in what would today be the City Park. The mound many have been from the Fort Ancient Indians who also built an em1hen enclosure overlooking the Ohio River at Swan Creek about -the tiine of .Colum bus' discovery of America. In the first decade of the French settlement here, a summer house had been built on top of that mound in the City Park. There · were only two instances of problems with · Indians in Gallipolis history after it was settled by European Americans. During the building in 1790 of the ·blockhouse by the men hired by the Ohio Company, the area surrounding the now City Park was all forest. It seems that all of the men but one had gone out to drag logs back to where the blockhouses were being built (present City Park). It was then that a .party of Indians slipped into the blockhouse and scalped the worker who had been left behind. The man's hands were terribly cut and hacked, showing that he had put up quite a struggle before succumbing to his fate. That other Indian episode in Gallipolis history involved a man who wanted some privacy and so he built in 1792 a cabin .a few· miles from the main settlement, probably in what later came to be called East Gallipolis. When it became noticed that no one · had seen the man in town for . several days, a party was sent to his house. It was discovered that the man had been . murdered and scalped while he slept in his own bed. The story of the Indian heallllress carved at Vanden's Point and found in 1938 continued to interest people. It seems that for some time a man living in Florida knew about a solution to the mystery of the headdress, but he had kept quiet. Then in an editorial in the Weekly Press published at Clefll\ont, Fla., . Jim Booten stated that he had been laughing about this story for some time and could. no longer contain himself. In the Feb. 16; I 939, edi· lion of the Gallipolis · Daily Tribune we read: "But Jim knows how that Indian's head was carv.ed on the face of the rock, for 60 years ago as a boy he and tliree chums were playing in the cave nearby as pirates, robbers and Indians and with a chisel brought from home, they carved the head while at play. Years have passed and moss and lichens covered their artistry, which just now has been brought to light and the reason Jim is laughing is that while he is not an archeologist, he can tell how old the carving is and prove that it is not· a rare example of the tribesmen's art."

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" follows the personal journey of Janie Crawford, a sensuous but emotionally muzzled girl-woman looking to break free.

Mixing in a third in volume or soil amendments such as . compost, humus, peat . moss or aged manure ,can improve the soi l texture and add nutrients to poorer soils.

When planting .your tree or shrubs. especially if it is bareroot, water the newly planted tree; to improve soil contact · with the plant's root system. If the plant has been.grown in a container, gently loosen the roots from the soil ball so they will grow into the surrounding soil. Balled and burlapped plants need to have their burlap unpinned at the soil line and either rolled down under the soil or cut off. . Unpin them only after the ball of soil has been placed inside the planting hole and supported by some backfill soil. Burlap dries out quickly if exposed to air and will hinder root development into surrounding soi l if left exposed.
