REED BREEO@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - An awardwinning program promoting tolerance among teenagers has been scrapped because a group , of pastors, a county . commissioner and others deemed it inappropriate. Meigs County Grants Administrator Jean Trussell said Thursday the presentation will not be made in Meigs County schools this year - at least not through the . county's Community Development Block Grant Fair Housing program. After screening the video used in the $2,000 "Teen Tolerance" program, 14 men voted by secr~t ballOt to reject it, and Trussell said she will abide by their wishes. Pastor Lamar O'Bryant of the First Southern Baptist Church in Pomeroy wrote a letter in October to Trussell and county commissioners. who control the funds used to present the program. expressing concern that the video, "A Place at the Table," is a "front for promoting (the homosexual) agenda." The video and accompanying materials list the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays among the many resources available for more information about tolerance. and includes a young lesbian in the east.

Stewart was shot in the left should.er when he approached the home of Loren Wamsley at 113 Pleasant St. According to Stewart, he · went to the Wamsley home to talk to a juvenile who was supposedly at the residence but did not live there. When someone answered the door, Stewart said a gunshot was ftred from inside the house. "I don't know why it happened," Stewart said. "There wasn'tany reason for it I was just there to talk to people." Stewart said when he realized he had been shot, he immediately reached for his gun and watched for people to come out of the house. When he realized·no one was coming out, he said he asked a neighbor who had come outside to call 9 I I. He then backed away from the residence and went across the street to lean against a telephone pole until the paramedics and other police officers arrived. Stewart .said he remembers being in extreme pain while he was being transponed to Pleasant Valley Hospital and then tlown to St. Mary 's Medical Center in Huntington. He added that although he remembers everything about the shooting. he remembers very little about the lime he spent in the hospital. " It's all kind of fuzzy," Stew an said. One thing that ·is not fuzzy to Stewart is the outpouring of help and support he and his family have received from people in the community. Stewart said he wanted to specifically thank members of the Mason County Sheriff's Department, Point Pleasant Pohce Department, West Virginia State Police and Mason County EMS and 911 Center for the suppon they have given him and his family. He added that people in the community also have been a blessing. "They've. been outstanding," Stewart said of the community. "Basically, I would just like to say a big thank you to all the people who lent a hand to help my wife, Lisa, and our children with your prayers, thoughts and gifts." Stewart said that despite all the support he has received, he is unsure of whether he will return to work once his phy sicians tell him he can. "If I can handle it mentally, probably," Stewart said. He said he might take a lighter work schedule than he had prior to the shooting. "I hated putting my wife and kids though this, and I don 't ever want to do that again," Stewart added. He said that although he has worked as a police officer for almost 10 years, he never thought anything like this would happen to him while he was on duty. Stewart said that for now he will continue to do as his phy sicians have instructed him, including taking slow walks and not participating in any strenuous activities. He will go back to St. Mary's next month for another follow-up visit . 41£- ,_ hlerican £egion Bingo ward off theft, all the kettles are inside stores, unlike traditional human bell -ringers who typically stand outside. Mark Brown. lhe Salvation Army's Birmingham-area commander, said Friday the cutouts were the idea of Charles Anderson. a member of the charity 's national advisory board and chairman of Anderson Media Co., the parent company of Books-AMillion, which paid for the cardboard bell-ringers.

Bob Taft celebrated the completion of the final project to widen U.S . 35 in southern Ohio with ODOT representatives, area elected officials antRoss County residents on Thursday. "The completion of the Route 35 project will not only benefit the people and economy of Ross County, but it will provide a safe, fa~t. efficient transportation system throughout southern Ohio that will advance economic development and bring new investment and jobs to the region,'; said Taft. "The new Rc;>ute 35 opens the gateway to southeast and PageA6 Appalachian Ohio and is part of our focus to improve the state's hig~way network and keep Ohio competitive in the 21st century," he added. The $45 million construction project in Ross County replaced the existing 9.5mile, two-lane section of 35 between • Chillicothe and Richmondale with a divided, limited access four-lane highway. This final phase of construction completed the entire 164-mile corridor making the route a four-lane highway from Dayton to Gallipolis. "This U.S. 35 improvement is a key project for improving traftic flow. safety and accessibility through the region," said ODOT Director Gordon Proctor. "This has '· been the area's biggest high- way project to date, and represents Gov. Taft's continuous focus to improve the state's highway network throughout Ohio." In. addition to providing a valuable link between Dayton and south-central Ohio, as well as between Indiana and West Virginia, the completed corridor can help to enhance growth and development locally. Also, the new 35 will provide a safer, more efficient transportation system where more than 12,000 vehicles pass each day. Kokosing Construction Co. was awarded a $45 million contract in April 2002 to build the fi'nal leg of the corridor that serves as a principal east-west route in southern Ohio.

THE PLAINS - Brad Caudill hit a foul line jumper at the buzzer to give the Gallia Academy Blue Devils are very hard fought 35-34 wm over the Athen Bulldogs Friday. Jaymes Haggerty led the Blue Devils with 13 points, while Andrew Chonko scored 15 for Athens. Athens came out strong, pounding the ball inside to big men Chonko and Kurt Roberts early and often. Two Roberts layups and a couple of Chonko free throws gave the Bulldogs an early 6-0 lead. A Caudill foul line jumper got the Devils on the board at 6-2 before Chonko finished off first quarter scoring with a jumper in the paint and an old fashioned three point play to make it 11 -2 after one. Athens outrebounded GAHS 7-I in the quarter aiding in their breakout. A Kyle Hudson trey from the right wing at the 7:47 mark of the second quarter, and a J aymes Caudill Haggerty 15-foot baseline jumper got the Devils to within four with 7: I 0 to go in the half. Athens responded by outscoring the Gallians 8o6 the rest of the way to take a 19-13 lead into the locker room at the intermission. The Bulldog tandem of Chonko and Roberts were responsible for 15 of the points and the 15-7 rebounding advantage Athens enjoyed. The trend continued from the outset as a Chonko drive , a follow up, and a Roberts baseline drive gave Athens what would be their largest lead of the night 25-1 5 with 5:31 remaining in the third. Athens would only score once more before quarter's end on a Elmore layup and free throw at I :00. In between Alex Kyger hit a mid range jumper, Haggerty a free throw, Kyger a three from the left corner, and then another baseline jumper on a nice feed from Haggerty to bring it to '28-23 at the 1:00 mark. Then the fun really began. A Haggerty steal and layup at :40 made it 28-25, another Haggerty steal and layup brought it to 28-27 at :27, and then follow ing a Chonko offensive foul, Haggerty hit a jumper from the top of the key at the buzzer that was ruled a two to give Gallia A~ademy their first lead of the night at 2928 after three: Points were hard to come by in the fourth as the game settled into even more of a chess match.

The Ravens allowed only two players to reach the century-mark last season, and fully expected to continue the trend this year. Before facing Kansas City Chiefs star Priest Holmes in early October. Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis declared, "We know how good he is, but we just don't let running backs get I 00 yards against us." Holmes ran for 125 yards and two touchdowns in a 2724 victory. Now, after permitting Curtis Martin and Corey Dillon to top 100 yards m two of the last three weeks, the Ravens on Sunday face the daunting task of stopping Johnson, who last week shredded Cleveland for 202 yards and two scores in a wild 58-48 victory. "He's a tough, hard runner," Balumore coach Brian Billick said. "I admire the way he keeps pounding at you and I know they want to establish that. It helps (quarterback) Carson Palmer when they have that aspect of it going."

Jamal Lewis will miss a second straight game with an ankle injury, making it even more important for the Ravens (7 -4) to keep Johnson in check. If Johnson gets rolling, then the Bengals (5-6) will be able to control the clock and put the heat on a struggling Baltimore offense that could muster only 124 yards last week in a 24-3 loss to New England_ "He has great balance," Marvin Lewis said of Johnson. "He has the ability to make the first tackler miss, which has enabled him to get mto the secondary and make it a hard tackle. He has a low center of gra-vity: he can get his pads underneath peo'p!e and pick up extra yards ."fl Johnson has flourished since taking over for Dillon, who left the Bengals during the offseason to become the Patriots' featured back. Dillon has run for 1,121 yards - including 123 last week against the Ravens and Johnson has amassed I ,049 yards on the ground_ "I'm happy, he's happy, so it's kind of worked out for both of us," Johnson said. "He's my boy. I played with him for three years and I'm h<jppy to see he's doing good." · Johnson accounted for 98 of the Bengals' I 09 yards rushing earlier this season in Southern WVU Tech decides to keep football, at least for another year MONTGOMERY, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia University Tech has decided not to drop its football program, at least for another season. President Galan Janeksela said Friday. A task force charged with developing a strategic plan for WVU Tech recommended in August that the school eliminate football and redirect the money to building its men's and women's basketball programs. WVU Tech's finances have been strained by multiple years of state mandated budget cuts, increased costs Devils from Page 81 to go gave Athens the lead back at 30-29. It only took the Gallians :22 to get the lead back on a Kyle Hudson jumper; 31-20 GAHS. Dunfee missed two free throws with 5:19 remaining that would have given Athens another lead change, but two layups; one each by Ogles and Chonko butlt the margin to 3431 with I: 17 to go. Haggerty responded with a layup :12 later to make 1t 34-33. and set the stage for a great ending. The linal minute ":as a series of tie ups, and passes deflected with Athens maintaining possession every time it seemed. Finally with : 12 to go and Athens having the ball out, the Blue Devils were forced to foul, which sent Chonko to the line for a one Meigs from Page 81 rebounds, while Jared Casey netted 18 points and Jeremy Blackston 14 points and three steals. Dave Poole contributed with I 0 points for the Marauders. Meanwhile, on the defensive end, Adam Snowden controlled the game under the glass as he grabbed 14 defen. si ve rebounds, 16 boards in all. "When we do shooting drills, we are a good shooting basketball team," said Coach Wolfe. "Our problem is get-ting open and getting some kind of chemistry. We make the wrong pass, we make the wron~ cut, we cut to slow ... there s always something wrong. When you run a continuity offense, if there's one thing that breaks down then the whole continuity is gone." For Nelsonville-York ( 1-1 , ' ''- J O, I), Jay· Edwards led all scorers with 22 points, while Joe Warren tossed in 15 points. The Buckeyes led 27-21 early m the second quarter after Ernie Perkins sank a 3point goal. A pair of free throws by Blackston, though, sparked a 14-0 Meigs' run that saw the Marauders take a 35-27 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the half. "'We was trying to switch defenses early," said Coach Wolfe. "We made a couple of mistakes on the defensive end a few times and we gave them some easy shots, but Nelsonville is probably as good an outside shooting team as well see. They've got three individuals there that can just flat out snoot the basketball." The Marauders led 37-31 at halftime and slowly built a 53-41 at the end of the third quarter. Throughout the fourth, the Buckeyes made a couple of 12,900 ·-·······-········-···········W•• S OUT attempts at a rally with the help of Marauder miscues, but Meigs managed to hold off the Buckeyes as the charity stripe. The Marauders were 13-for-16 at the freethrow line during the final 4: 12 of the game. "We did this last year," said Coach Wolfe. "We don't play very w~ll when we're in the lead. We're better than w~ were a week ago. If we make progress . each week, then sometime after Christmas, this might be a nice club. "A wm is a win. We did a lot more positive things than we did negative. "If we weren't making mistakes, then I'd be worried too, because that would me we're already at our peak." Meigs, which traveled to .

A live tree may be festive 1 but it can also be a potential fire hazard. That's why it's important to check for freshness when buying any live tree ... • A fresh tree is deep green in color and has a strong scent of pine., • The needles on a fresh tree should bend - not break, and they should • be hard to pull off the branc~es. · • The cut-off trunk of a fresh tree should be sticky with resin, and when tapped . on the ground the tree should not lose needles. • Natural trees should be cut at a 45 degree angle at the base and placed in water. A 6' tree will use 1 gallon qf water every two days. • Keep tree away from radiators, fireplaces or other heat sources. ~; • Make sure tree is securely fastened in the holder. • When tree becomes dry, discard it promptly. • Consider an artificial tree - it's much safer and cleaner.

' OMEROY - Surviving the holidays, financially and emotionally. and ail the while keeping the magic in Christmas, can sometimes be a real challenge. Things can be exhausting, even overwhelming, when expectations to have a picture-perfect Norman Rockwell kind of holiday exceed the available time and money to put it all together. The very word "surviving" implies a need to simplify, to become more realistic about what 's necessary and what's not, to reflect, and perhaps reorganize before the real rush to get ready begins . Sometimes limits have to be set, activities changed, and more meaningful things incorporated into the scheme of things, not only for others but for ourselves. If already you are feeling more frazzled than festive , you perhaps could have benefited from attending the Ohio State University Extension Service's recent holidav program in Meigs County. · It was called "Holidays Unwrapped'' and placed an emphasis on simplify ing preparations. getting the most from your gift-giving dollars, picking and choosing activities to panicipate in, and creating a more family-centered observance. "You don' t have to do everything," said Becky Baer, Meigs Extension educator. ''Decide what is imponant, then stan early and pace yourself. Don't cram too much into a shan period of time. Make a budget and stick to it." "Don't over schedule, learn to say 'no,' reduce the number of gifts you give. Instead of buying . individual gifts, buy a family giti. Get your cooking and baking supplies in early so that when you're in the mood to cook or bake. you don't have to run out to the store," she added. "And above all. quit taking things so seriously and getting all stressed out about everything. Set aside some quiet time for yourself and your fam ily to enjoy the holidays." Baer said. But, cautioned Linda King, Meigs program assistant, whatever you do, "play it safe." No one wants to get sick over the holidays. or have somethi ng hang on long after they have passed . Her lips on safety with candles. glass ornaments, plants and dishes extended into the use of all those plates and platters beautifully decorated with scenes of Christmas which just might be leaching lead . Her advice: "Don't store food in ceramic dishes or leaded crystal containers. Carefully check the surface of containers for any unglazed or cracked places before adding food." Tips on how to pretty up a plate of food without spending hours in the kitchen were given by Cindy Oliveri , OS U hten;ion specialist at the Piketon Center. She demonstrated quick and easy-to-make garnishes like radish roses, green onion flowers and snowmen created from turnips. all the while stressing the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Her message wa~ "eat your carrots and any other fruit or vegetables that are bright in color and don't forget to have a few nuts and seeds if you want to stay healthy." Martha Brown. Gallia County nutrition ass istant. said that using the food pyramid gave tips on how much of what one should eat every day for optimal health. Ideas for being prepared for unexpected guests to hold down the stress level of "what to serve'' were given by Joyce Brown , Athens Extension edw:ator. She suggested to be ready for visitors have in your cuphnard some cream cheese oi canned meat whi'h can yuickly be spread on crackers. and in your freezer sliced pound cake which can be topped with a dollop of canned pudding for a nice de>sen. The importance of "connecting" with family over the holidays was stressed by Deanna Tribe.

She demonstrated how to take a brown paper bag and turn it into attractive packaging with holiday stickers, fabric designs and painted scenes finished off with colorful tulle or tissue inside. "It's imponant to make the pre>entation as nice as the gift inside." said Nesbitt. Favorite portions of "Holidays Unwrapped" came at the beginning and end of the program. Samples of nutritious holiday food s prepared from recipes shared by the presenters were served to the 50 or so women before ·the program. A craft session where attractive sock snowmen were created by each one as a takehome gift conc luded the event. It was an evening of information which served as a reminder that the magic of Christmas 1s not ahout elahnrate parties or exrcnsive gifts. but rather genuine sharing and caring for each other.

APWB-187 bears a distinctly European flavor. The stately and symmetrical exterior features deep shuttered windows sheltered by a full-width covered porch. This is very much a Continental influence. The steep roof pitch suggests a nonexistent secon·d floor. Detail known as dentil molding shows beneath the roofline. Archways and recessed ceilings mark the interior. The central great room anchors the living spaces. It has a central gas fireplace flanked by enormous recessed shelving. Nearby is the large two-countered kitchen with adjacent breakfast nook and angled sink that opens the snack island to the larger great room. A covered porch is accessed from two rooms by French doors. The master bedroom is set apart from other sleeping quarters. The ·guest bedroom could perhaps best serve as a home office or hobby room. The remaining bedrooms are tucked toward the rear of the home. The spacious laundry room and mechanical areas are large yet out of the way, allowing the design itself to take center stage .

People still flocking to Ohio's bicentennial barns TOLEDO (AP) - The popularity of Ohio's bicentennial barns hasn 't diminished even though the milestone they were honoring has passed. People are still visiting the barns painted to celebrate the state's 200th birthday in March 2003. People in one county even had the artist who painted the barns paint another to replace a btcentennial barn that was demolished. "I figured, when it was over. that would be it," said Scott Hagan, who painted the bicentennial's logo on barns in each of Ohio's 88 counties. ·'.It's 2004. almost 2005. and people are still stopping at them." People followed Hagan as he painted the structures and others began traveling the state to take a photograph of each barn. '"Every weekend, there's somebody stopping by," said Jim Lowe. owner of Ottawa County's bicentennial barn in northwest Ohio. "I cjon't get to talk to too many of them. They're in and out before you know it." Philip Zuver, who owns the barn that was painted in Williams Cnunty, said most people stop by on the weekends while trying to see several barns in a day. "I see a -lQ,_t of people just pulling up, jumping out, snapping a picture, and then they are on their way,'' he said. The barn was so popular in southeas t Ohio's Hocking County that people there recently paid Hagan about $1.650 to paint another bicentennial barn to replace the one that was razed to make room for a gas station. "The local guys wanted it," said Roger Shaw, who owns the Hocking Hills Market and the property where the newly pamted barn stands. "I don't think the year has anything to do with it. And they're beautiful. It 's a work of art. It's a great honpr to have one." The barn helps draw tourists to an area that depends on the visitors to boost the economy. ''Not a day goes by that someone doesn't conic by and take a picture of it," Shaw said. "The day they painted the barn, there was a gentleman and his wife here. They said, 'We're just out looking at every bicentennial barn in the state.'" Norm and Shannon Bash of Port Clinton in northern Ohio took more than a year to travel to all the barns and take between 3,000 and 4.000 photographs. "l used both digital and 35-millimeter to do all the barns. so if th.ere was a problem I had a backup," Norm Bush said. Christina Wilkinson, who photographed and wrote for about the barns "Bicentennial Barns of Ohio,'~ a 2003 book licensed by the state's Bicentennial Commission, said people like to see the barns because they are unique. "Seeing all the barns and having your photo taken in front of them - that's the collector's mentality." she said. On the Net: Bicentennial Barns project: http://www.ohio200.org/barns/ OSU EXTENSION GALLIA COUNTY Soybean rust tinally reached continental US shores in one of the hurricanes this past summer. It has now been confirmed in soybean fields in a number of southern stales. Surveys are in progress in the US and Caribbean to see how widespread soybean rust is and how many points of introduction there were. According to Ann Dorrance, plant pathologist at Ohio Agriculture Research and Development Center. rust was not detected until early November. Most soybeans in that area have been harvested and they are surveying kudzu and the few remaining soybean fields. Data from South Africa, Paraguay and Brazil, indicate that rust.can be managed with one or I bison's DNA is one of an exponential increase in diversity with herd sizes doubling every I0,200 years. Then, 32,000 to 42,000 years ago, the last glacial cycle kicked in, beginning a lengthy cooling trend. Bison genetic diversity plummeted. A significant wave of humans didn't appear in the archaeological record at eastern Beringia until more than 15,000 years later, the authors write in Friday's Science. The Science paper refers to dates in radiocarbon years, a dating technique that doesn't match up precisely with conventional calendars. For ·instance, 12;000 years before the present in radiocarbon yeat:.~ equates to 14,000 years ago according to calendars, Shapiro said. Cold "and arid conditions increasingly dominated, and some component of these ecological changes may have been sufficient to stress bison populations across Beringia," the authors noted. About the same time, brown bears and a type of horse went extinct in Alaska. The results "offer the first evidence of the initial decline of a population, rather than simply the res ulting extinction event," the authors wrote. Tapping genetic informa- puzzle. The when and how fast and on which storm wi II determine if and when we recommend fungicide applications. What will the final list of EPA approved fungicides be by next spring? OARDC has applied for six fungicides for use on soyhean rust in Ohio. Depending on what materials are available, will determine our spray timings. How do we prepare for this pathogen'> There are several things that you can do on your farm to prepare for soybean rust. The first is don't worry. This is another pathogen or headache . but it is manageable. You do not need to buy fungicides at this point. EPA is still reviewing many of the materials. Our goal is to limit losses as much as possible and that indud~s not spending money that you don't have to . two fungicide applications. In most regions the first application is applied at some point during the ~owering period. Even though rust has been found far south of here, the answer to the question for Ohio producers about spraying fungicide during 2005 are the words might. maybe, possibly and depends. What we sti ll don't know are the following: Will soybean rust overwinter in the gu lf region? If this is killed out by a very cold winter, we will have to wait for the next hurricane or storm to bring it back into the US. Surveys in Florida and Texas next spring will tell if rust will survive. If we are unlucky and it overwinters, when in the spring will those infections begin to form new spores to begin the movement north is the next piece to the BY HAL KNEEN Vegetable growers, clear your calendars on December 14 to attend the Annual Southeast Ohio Winter Vegetable School being held at the Meigs County Extension Office from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Presentations include "What Pesticides Are on the Horizon", "What Insect Pests To Expect", ".What's New in Sweet Corn, Peppers. Pumpkins • ·and Tomatoes" and "What is the Vegeiable Outlook". OSU Specialists Celeste Welty and Bob Precheur will also be available to answer your specific vegetable questions. John Clawson, industry representative from Dupont Chemicals will also be on hand . Ohio private pesticide applicators will earn two hours of private pesticide re-certification credit in the vegetable crop category. Lunch is provided by Mike McBride of Shade River Ag. Registration cost is $15 per person. Reservations need to be called into the Meigs County Extension Office at 992-6696 before December lOth. Immediately following the annual . vegetable meeting, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., an "Agricultural Labor Camp Workshop for Camp Operators" will be held at the Meigs County Extension Office. If you currently own, operate or are considering the development of a tempomry labor camp for agricultural and food proce ssing workers this program is for you. Thi s workshop will help camp owners and operators comply with applicable local , state and federal regulations while providing a benefit that improves worker recruiting and relenlion efforts. New labor camp tion gives scientists the means to assess the health of bison over thousands of years, said Russell Graham, director of the Earth & Mineral Sciences Museum at Penn State University. AI given points in the distant past, the researchers could tell if bison were thriving or decimated and attach a firm date to that health check .. ''The real im}Xlrtance of the paper, at least from my perspective, is it provides us a way of measuring what is happening to a population of animals through time," Graham said. John Alroy. a University of California-Santa Barbara research biologist and overkill proponent, remains unconvinced. The near-extinction of bison would not have happened without the handiwork of human hunters, he said, adding: "I think the interpretation is off-base and inappropriate, and I'm not persuaded at all by their claims."

Proponents of the overkill theory blamed the first Americans to cross an ice-free corridor -connecting what's now Alaska and Siberia - for hunting bison within a whisper of disappeardilce. Those super hunters are also faulted for pushing massive mammals, like woolly mammoths, shortfaced bears and North American lions into extinction. A team of 27 scientists used ancient DNA to track the hulking' . herbivore's boom-and-bust population patterns, adding to growing evidence that climate. change was to blame. "The interesting thing that we say about the ellitinctions, is that whatever happened, it wasn't due to human~ ," said the paper's lead author, Beth Shapiro. a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at Oxford University. By the time people arrived, "these populations are already significantly in decline and on the brink of whatever was going to happen to them in the future."
