NATIONAL VIEW Reward Biking to work sends m~ssage about ,savings • The Advocate, Baton Rouge, La., 011 biking to work as pro-American: The decision to move against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was based in large part on the calculated fear that the Iraqi leader's weapons of mass destruction could be shared with terrorists unafraid to use them against the United States and our allies. Concern about human rights abuses suffered by the Iraqi people at the hands of a ruthless dictator also was considered. But more conspicuous to the rest of the world might be our nation's tangible interest in oil reserves of the Middle East. Instability in the Middle East inevitably motivates Americans to seek ways to reduce dependence upon that region for U.S. energy needs. Unfortunatelx. as long as our nation IS predommantly fueled by 01!, there IS a hm1t to how much that dependence may be reduced. . Some lawmakers in Congress are looking for ways to reduce oil dependence by reducing overall consumption. One small plan would reward people who ride their bikes to work. Those effects might be compared with the savings to a household from adjusting the thermostat a few degrees and turning off lights in unoccupied rooms. Over time, thousands of dimes add up to hundreds of dollars. The Bike Commuter Act, which has failed to gain much support in Congress in previous years, might be subtle, but it sends the right message.

Baseball ~ b tod.d ~ ·· ~~il!:d Hall president apologizes to 'Bull Durham' actors BY BEN WALKER Associated Press The baseball Hall of Fame president issued an apology Friday, saying he was sorry he failed to call Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon last week be fore canceling a "Bull Durham" celebration because of the actors' anti-war stance. ln an open letter to the 28,000 peop1e who calied or sent a letter or e-mail to the Hall, Dale Petroskey blamed himself for bringing politics into the shrine. "I inadvertently did ·exactly what I was trying to avoid," the former Reagan administration official wrote. "With the advantage of hindsight, it is clear I should have handled the matter differently." "! am sorry I didn't pick up the phone to have a discussion with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon rather than sending ·them a Ietter," he said. Petroskey made no mention of whether he still believed the decision to scnap the event was the right one. This latest letter was faxed to Robbins and Sarandon before it was posted on the Hall: s Web site,. .

Instead , Petroskey surprised the costars last week with a letter sent via Federal Express, telling them he •d called off the festivities because they'd criticized the war in lnaq. "Politics has no place in the Hall of Fame,'' Petroskey wrote Friday. ''There was a chance of politics being injected into the Hall during these sensitive times, and I made a decision to not take that chance." " A day after Petroskey's decisian became public April 9, the Hall received 5,000 e-mails, both pro and con. Overall, the Hall of Fame said sentiment was running siightly against the tan see. Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton "supP.?rted the decision and said, 'I think Petroskey ·· articulated it perfectly." 'The events of the past week show us all that the game bums brighter than ever and continues to stir passions in many people," Petroskey wrote. Petroskey, a former White House assistant press secretary under President Reagan, said in his original letter to Robbins and Sarandon that their recent comments "ultimately could put our troops in even more danger." · • ., �I Page 86 • ~unbap m:inlt!i -i;ltntinel • Sunday, April 20, 2003 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant I iuw, ·ltmH ·imtbttl Youth Ch_ eerleading NASCAR TOP 10 Winston Cup Series Driver Po!nts Wins Top Ss 10s in top 10 Matt Kenseth 1330 1 4 7 8 1 .2.

President Steve Sali,bury introduced Mark Hemming. newly-appoi nted assistant wildlife supervisor for the Crown City Wildlife Area in Gallia and Lawrence counties. who infonned the audience that warm season grasses are now being planted in the reserve and that many quail have been spotted there recently. Hemming, formerly of the Cooper Hollow Reserve in Jackson County, told the club that efforts to till the ponds in the Crown City reserve have been unsuccessful because of the rock and heavy clay soil mixture that will not hold water for any length of time. He also noted that planting in the area cannot be done by conventional means. aod in order to create a more natural habitat for seeding, he 'said the departmelll would have to spend about $6,000 for a new 2-row com planter. The officer added "that because of the budget cru nch Ohio is facing, there just isn' t enough funding for us to make an expensive purchase of the corn planter, so we are requesting donations from the outdoor organizat ions and club' such as this to help us get the planter." Members then voted to contribute $900 from the club's treasury to aid in the purchase of the machine and for seeds in the Crown City reserve and al so at Cooper Hollow. in closing, Hemming noted that an estimate of $65,000 has been received to clean up all of the trash site' in the area that he is responsible for once the money becomes available. · Lany Betz reported that Rep. Clyde Evan; and Sen. John Carey have jointly sponsored a bill in the Ohio Legislature that would permit all Disabled American Veterans to obtain · a free hunting license. Betz alSo added that only one application has been received fro m graduating seniors in the Gallipolis and Galli a County schools for the $500 college scholarship the club sponsors each year. Mike McConnell, Gallia County wildlife officer, reported that the wild turkey hunting season is open from April 28 to May 25, that the deer limit in this region this year has been reduced to two animals from three. and that cell phones and radios will be pennitted by hunters in the woods, but shall be used only in an emergency, and not for hunting. McConnell added that the dates of May 3 and 4 have been designated as Free Fishing Days, where any resident of Ohio may fish without a license.

Fishing Report ~esources: The Meigs Soi l and Water Gonserv<ttion District held its first ever stakeholder meeting on May I 0 in an effort to determine the natur al resource concerns in the county. . By t~c · time the meeting was fin tshed, It was apparent that the biggest concern was not soi I erosion or water quality, as yo u might expect, but the permanent conve rsio n of agricu ltural and fore st land into non-agricultural use ·by gravel mining, highway constru ction and low'density hou sing . It was pointed out. by one of those atte ndtn g. that the proliferation of 5acre lots makes it practically impossi- . ble to manage timber on those tracts. It also makes wildlife difficult to manage because hunting, probably the main wildlife manage ment tool, is no longer feasible. Then of course there are concerns over sewage. and the expenses local governme nt faces in providing servi ces to the new resi- · dences. . Who lived there ? Where did they go?

Ohio - They are always the most successful fi shennen on the river each . spring. While others wade the chilly waters of the Maumee for hours and emerge with possibly a walleye or two, these guys are literally swimming in fish within minutes of their arrival. · They appear on the river early every. year when hundreds of thousands of Lake Erie walleye are making their spring spawning run up the Maumee. These fishermen use unconventional tackle, no rods and reels, and within minutes they throw all of their catch back - despite the . fish being well in excess of five pounds and flirting in the 14pound range. But these are . no ordinary fishermen. They use nets and buckets and jars - and a bit of juice. They ;u-e fisheries biologists from the Ohio Division of Wildlife and personnel from the state hatcheries. While they release everything they catch. they only do so after harvesting the next genemtion. They elcctro-tish. which is not permitted for S{>ort and involves more catchmg than fishing. The biologists use a specially outfitted 18-foot aluminum boat that is equipped with a small genemtor that sends an electrical field 15 to 20 feet out into the water. This current momentarily stuns the fish and theY. surface near the boat, immobilized but unharmed. The walleye are lifted from the river in large dip nets and placed in live wells on the boat where they get J?lenty of oxygen during. their brief stay. After a couple of passes, the boat returns to shore where the female walleye are stripped of their eggs and the males of their milt. These unwitting donors go back in the Maumee River within minutes. and will likely be back out swimming in huge schools in Lake Erie in just a few days. The eggs and milt are mixed. flushed with oxygen. and packed in coolers for the trip to one of Ohios hatcheries. ll1is group of tishermen is working to propagate the next generation and spread the walleye to many inland lakes. Since none of Ohio's other bodies of water are as prolific as Lake Erie, the Maumee in early spring is the place to go to harvest walleye stock. It is just one of the many ways the big lake shares its wealth. The lack of suitable habitat sometimes prohibits or greatly reduces natural walleye reproduction in the states reservoirs. and the huge concentrations of fish in the river help solve that problem. "We usually don't have any trouble finding the fish ri~ht away," biologist M1ke Wilkerson said. ''The hard pan is making sure we get out there at the right time so we get more than just a couple of females whose eggs are flowins. If the timing is just right, this IS a fairly simple opemtion." The Division of Wildlife biologists usually launch their rig near Orleans Park right in downtown Maumee. Although walleye runs also take place on the Sandusky and Portage rivers, Wilkerson said this is the place to go with the electro-fishIn?, boat. 'Nothing matches the Maumee in terms of its concentration of fish.'' Wilkerson said. "We will work up and down the stream in the area where we put the boat in, and the fish are always there." Many of the fishermen along the Maumee stop to watch the operation, and are shocked themselves by the number of !ish the electro-shocker boat brings up, and by their size. "It is fascinating to watch, but a bit aggravating at the same time," fisherman Dan Baker from Toledo said. ''We stand in that freezing river for hours and maybe get nothing, and these guys just zap the water and bring out buckets of fish - in a few minutes. I guess now we know the fish are there." Wilkerson said that during the peak of the run, which usually occurs in early to mid-April, the larger females bulging with esgs are in the current where the nver bottom is composed primarily of graveL The females broadcast or release their eggs into the moving water, not onto a nest like some species do. The ever-present males release their milt at the same time. ':If we locate the females, it is usually no problem picking up the males - they are everywhere," Wilkerson said. "Once .weve removed the mill and the eggs, the fish are returned to the river alive. It is a very shortterm thing - they are back swimming in the river within walleye will hold thousands of tiny eggs about the size of a pin head. When the females are ready to spawn, ·the eggs will flow freely. After the eggs are mixed with the milt and fertilized in the parking lot next to the river, they are immediately trucked to the London or St. Marys hatchery. After spending a few weeks in incubation jars at the hatchery, the typical "two eyes and a wtggle" hatch is visible. The walleye are reared in outdoor ponds at the hatchery where they feed on plankton. After another month or so, these fish are stocked in Ohio's minutes." upland reservoirs as 1- to 3-inch The average adult female long fingerlings. CHARLESTON, W.Va. When West VIrginia's sr.ring gobbler season' opens Apnl 28, most of the turkeys killed will be shot on private land. lri fact, many hunters would venture afield with broken shotguns and ill-fitting boots before (hey'd hunt on public land. ''Too crowded," some of them say. But most of them fall back on the argumeill, '"There aren't any turkeys on public land." That may be true for some places, but certainly not all. According to statistics com·1 d d · 1 • bbl pt e unng ast year s go er season, 20 of the state's 89 public tracts yielded harvests of more than one tom per square mile. Division of Natural Resources officials consider any area that produces at least a gobbler per square mile to be · prime turkey-hunting temtory. By that measure, at least 20 such tracts exist. Some of the areas are too small to be statistically significant. For example, the Horse Creek Wildlife Management Area near Baileysville ostensibly ranks as the state's most prolific turkey producer. Its ratio of 13.33 turkeys per square mile nearly triples its nearcst competitor's. · That's the good news. The bad news is that the Horse Creek tract measures just 48 acres in size and yielded just one gobbler last spring. . . · · For an area to be considered for the Daily Mail's best bets for public-land hunting, it has to encompass a1 least 2,000 acres, produce at least I0 birds, and yield at least one bird per square mile. Seven areas met all those criteria. The following are the Daily Mail's Super Seven for . Spring Success: • Hillcrest Wildlife Management Area, Hancock County. Blessed with some of the best wildlife habitat the state has to offer, this 2,212-acre slice of the Northern Panhandle is the top . turkey producer by a fatr stretch. Hunters bagged 19 birds on the propeny last spring, an average of 5.5 per square mile. Part of the tract's success can be attributed to the land's natural productivity, and part can be attributed to the DNR 's management efforts. But some credit has to go to the neighboring state of Pennsylvania. · TI1e land just over the state line has ranked as the Keystone State's top turkey producer for the past several years. Since gobblers don 't honor geopolitical boundaries, it's fair to imagine that they cross over to the Hillcrest side from time to time . In this case.

The saugeye is the most frequently stocked fish in the state, with some 13 million finger~ lings stocked in state reservoirs last year. · .

All about cooking with hazelnuts • HaZel nuts can be substituted for virtually any other nut specified in a recipe. • Roasting hazelnuts increases their llavor and improves their crunchy texture. • Hazelnut~ are available "natural" (shelled and unroasted, sometimes dice<\ or sliced) or roasted . "Natural" kernels have the longest shelf life. • Professionals say cleaned "natural" nuts are· a great time saver and definitely worth the money. After that, it is easy to roast them. • To roast natural hazelnuts, spread whole kernels in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 275 F. for 15 to 20 minutes. To remove skins, briskly rub with a rough cloth while nuts are still warm. • Store hazelnuts ina tightly sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain the highest quality of llavor and texture. Allow h;u;elnuts to warm to room temperature in unopened containers before using to prevent mold and rancidity. · • Refrigerated hazelnuts can be kept for up to one year; frozen hazelnuts can be kept for up to two years. • Otegonians call hazelnuts filberts. Some people believe the name originally referred to Aug. 22, the. feast day of Saint Philibert, the day the nuts were first harvested in England. Anotber theory suggests filbert may be a comJption of the words "full beard," referring · to the long, draped leaves that cover the shell. • Domestic hazelnuts grow larger but Turkish nuts are easier to skin after blanching. . .

The experiment is the. latest attempt at cell therapy, an approach still early in development !hat shows enticing hint' it can restore life to stunned and scarred area' of weakly beating hearts. Seveml teams around the world are using a variety of approaches, involving either primitive bone marrow cells or inunature skeletal muscle cells to refurbish damaged heart Cooper Davis, being held by his mother Amy Cooper, receives his 12 month immunizations. Deanna Pope, MSN, RN is giving the immunizations. Keeping up to date with immunizations important for children to stay healthy mus~le. While it is still too soon to say how weII the approach works - or even whether it does at all - doctors say they have been impressed with apparent reversals of severe heart failure after the experiments. ' GALLIPOLIS, Ohio Have your children received the 15-month vaccinations that he or she needs ? County The Gallia Health Department has found that parents often forget to bring their child in at 15 months to complete the primary vaccination series. Children need 80 percent of their vaccinations in the first two years of life to . properly protect them against deadly diseases. · Vaccination is one of the most effective ways lO protect infants and young children. There have been many changes in immunizations since Dr. Edward Jenner administered the first vaccination about 200 years ago . Because of increased vaccination efforts in the U.S.. eight vaccine-preventable diseases are at or near record low levels. Vaccine -preventable diseases have been reduced by more 99 percent since the introduction of vaccines. However, much community work is required to sustain this effort and too many children in our cpm- . munity are not getting immunized on time. Children need a series of vaccinations starting at birth , then at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 month s and again at 15 months. Children will then receive their next set of vaccinations before they start kindergarten . The diseases that children are protected from include diphtheria , tetanus , pertussis, polio , haemophilus influenzae (Hib) , measles , mumps , rubella, chickenpox , hepatitis B, and pneumococcal disease. Since 1993 , Immunization Action Plan (TAP) Grant funding has bP,en received annually from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH ). With this funding , the Gallia County Health Department has increased service delivery of vaccines to county residents and has worked to increase the public's awareness of the tmportance of immunizing on time . Lisa lAP Burleson, R.N.. Project Director stated, ''Our goal is to have the on-time rate for immunized children reach. 90 percent by the end of the year. Ga!lia County's on-time rate for 2002 reached only 72 percent , the national average for 200 I reached 71 percent. The state of Ohio reached only 69 percent ip 200 I. We would like to see the rates reach 90 percent and maintain our rates at that level. "Many parents sti·ll do not understand the importance of on-time vaccinations. We do not hear much about these diseases · anymore, so many parents are not aware that these diseases still exist in the United States · and around the world," Burleson said. Tracking changes in immunization coverage rates allows the state to measure its progress toward meeting the Healthy People 20 I 0 goal of increasing immuqization rates against vaccine-preventable diseases among children 0-2 years of age. Approximately one in four children in the U.S. from 0-2 years of age are not properly immunized. According to the ODH, there were 441 cases of Pertussis (Whooping Cough) reported in the state of Ohio in the year 2002. The ODH also reported the following cases for the year 2002 : Chickenpox 2079 , Hepatitis B · Ill, Measles I, Mumps II, Tetanus I. Fortunately there were no cases of Diphtheria, Polio, or Rubella, reported in the year 2002 for the state of Ohio. Several of these cases have not been confirmecl and chickenpox is not a reportable disease so not all of the chickenpox cases have been reported. This is the last available data prior to printing. The Gallia County Health De'partment provides free immunizations to Ohio residents on Tuesdays and Friday s from 8 to 11:30 a.m . and I to 3:30 p.m. Additional evening hours are also available. The only requirements for a child in need of immunizations are that they mu st be accompanied by a parent or legal guardia~ and present an up-to-date immunization record.

Perin's patients had such bad heart failure that their hearts pumped just 20 percent.

Still, Perin cautioned that a placebo effect could account for the apparent benelit. Patients may feel better because they are convinced the treatment 'hould help them. Just why the approach might work is unclear, although Perin speculated that the immature cells produce hormones and chemicals that promote blood vessel growth, reawakening dormant heart muscle. 'We'believe it's very promising, but it's also very early," said Dr. James Willerson. <mother Tex<L' Heart researcher. 'These were all patients witit very extensive coronary artery. disease, priqr heart auacks, severe heart fai lure, and they were desperate."

Discovering wedding customs and traditions One of the most ancient social customs in the world, weddings are full of customs and traditions. From throwing rice to wearing a veil, have you ever wondered where they came from? Many of these traditions have stood the test of time and evolved from generation. Here's a look at some of the most familiar wedding favorites and a few le ss er-known custom s: • In England, it was traditional to bake a ring into the wedding cake as a symbol of blis s and happine ss. It wa s said that the guest whose piece of cake con. rained the ring could look forward to a year of uninterru'pted happiness. • The custom of throwing rice at newlyweds symbolized fertility. Today. some still throw rice , but confetti. bubbles or rose petals are often substituted for safety and environmental reasons.
