HROUSHCMYDAILYREGISTER.COM Stimulus work in small town .creates damage, costs Bv MARY BETH LANE THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH MURRAY CITY Murray City, a former coalmining community. got $665,000 in federal stimu . Ius money to replace waterlines, but it might have to request more government money to repair roads destroyed during the work. The replacement of the rusted and leaking cast-iron waterlines built in the late 1930s is the good news. The bad news i that the construction has reduced the roads in the steeply hilled Hocking County village to swaths of dirt and mud. rendering ::-.orne all but impassable without a four-wheeldrive vehicle. Worse, there might not be enough stimulus money left when the project is completed to restore the road~. Total co~t of the road repairs is unknown. These arc the unintended consequences or a project that the villagers requested. The nearly S 1.2 million project combines stimulus money with about $524,000 from a no-interest state loan. "This is quite a project for us,'' :said Sharon Koon, mayor of the village of about 450 people and a post office, beauty shop, carryout and funeral home. "I know you have to tear up to fix up, but I am hoping that they will be able to complete everything and that we will be satisfied with the results." The project, which includes a $942,000 contract awarded to M. Campbell Contracting Co. of Doylestown in northeastern Ohio. has an additional $95,000 built in to cover contingencies. That would be used to rebuild the roads. said Gar) Silcott. senior associate with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. of Logan, which is being paid about $150.000 to design the project and supervise construction. The $95,000 might not be enough to restore all the roads. however, and the village might have to seek a state grant to finish the repairs. Silcott said. The contract require:; the construction company to repair only the roads that were dug up to install the new waterlines, Silcott said. Additional roads were chewed up by heavy e4uipment nnd by "exploratorv digging" in spots where, ft turned out, construction workers found no existing waterlines, Silcott said. That has happened probably a half-dozen times. he said. No one could find a map showing the existing water- lines. so the engineering firm and the contractor have to rely on a \'illagc worker and the recollection~ of villagers to trace the route as they go. "It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack,'' Silcott said. Villagers blame the contractor for the road damage. Mark Contractor Campbell blames the village streets. ''I will not be re.;ponsible for roads that were not built under any construction .~tandards, that are substandard to begin with ," he ~aid. Silcott and Campbell said village streets were m poor shape before work started in October. Cemetery Hill is paved v.ith I 1/2 inches of asphalt. the bare minimum, Silcotl said. Most village streets , he said. are chip and seal: coated with a thin layer of gravel and asphalt mix. The contract requires Campbell to repair and repave road sections that \vere dug up to install the \\ aterline:-., and no more than that. he said. For now. villa~ers make do. ~ Residents along Brick Hill park at the bottom and walk because their vehicles can't handle the mud and potholes. Danny Six is one of the few who can mount the hill because his pickup truck has four-wheel-drive. His daughter. Brittany, said ner Chevrolet Cavalier can't, "I haYe to park my car. put on my big old Rocky boots and trot on up the hill,'' she said. While the Sixes await a retum to paved roads. the digging and pipe-laying continue. The project, including road repmrs, i<> scheduled for completion b) the end of Ma). but Campbell predicted it v. ill take longer. RIO GRANDE - The Young.

B&E from Page Al ••• · Dear Dr. Brothers: I've always liked being a fraternal , twin. because you get compared to each other a ~ot l~ss than identical twins do.

There IS ample sno\\ and slush on the ground that I \\ ould not be surprised if the inmate catches a virus from the unhealthy conditions. That inmate goes back to jail and spreads the virus to the rest of the prboners. Imagine havmg to walk in icy slush and sno\\ in flip flops. Crime or no crime, it is inhumane to put one through those conditions. I am not on the side of the inmate, just to make clear. I am on the side of the health concerns of all inmates who have to go through that kind of unneeded punishment. What happens if an inmate gets sick hecause of these conditions and has to go to the hospital? Who picks up the tab on that bill?

Charlie Wilson, DOhio, has scheduled a series of open houses throughout the Sixth Congressional District designed to help local governments. non-profit agencies and other entities navigate the federal appropriations process. Following is the open house schedule: • Tuesday. Feb. 16. 9 a.m.-noon, Wilson's District office in Ironton • Wednesday. Feb. 17, 9 a.m.-noon, Wilson's District office in Marietta • Thursday. Feb. 18, 9 a.m.-noon. Wilson's District office in Bridgeport • Friday. Feb. 19. 9 a.m.noon. Wilson's District office in Canfield For fiscal year 20 I 0. Wilson received over 100 requests from local govern- ments. businesses and organizations. A number of those projects were funded, ranging from funds for wastewater treatment to emergency alert systems to hospital renovations. "For fiscal year 2010, I was able to secure nearly $8.3 million for the Sixth District:' Wilson said. "And in this difficult economic climate, I want to make sure that our area Obama nuke plant loan reflects new energy strategy WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama administration's planned loan guarantee to build the first nuclear power plant in the U.S in almost three decades is part of a broad shift in energy strategy to lessen dependence on foreign oil and reduce the use of other fossil fuels blamed for global warming. President Barack Obama called for "a new generation of safe. clean nuclear power plants" in his Jan. 27 State of the Union speech and followed that by proposing to triple loan guarantees for new nuclear plants. He wants to use nuclear power and other alternative sources of energy in his effort to shift energy policy. Obama in the coming week will announce the loan guarantee to build the nuclear power plant. an administration official said Friday. The two new Southern Co. reactors to be built in Burke. Ga .. are part of a White House energy plan that administration officials hope will draw Republican support. Loan guarantees for other sites are expected to be announced in the coming months. the official said, who would speak only on condition of anonymity ahead of Obama 's announcement. The federal guarantees are seen as essential for construction of any new reactor because of the expense involved. Critics call the guarantees a form of subsidy and say taxpayers will assume a huge risk, given the industry's record of cost overruns and loan defaults. "The last thing Americans want is another government bailout for a failing industry. but that's exactly what they're getting from the Obama administration:· said Ben Schreiber. an analyst for the environmental group Friends of the Earth. "This is great news for Wall Street but a bad deal for Main Street." Even with next week's announcement, construction of the first reactor is still years away. The Southern Co. has applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a construction and operating license for the plant. one of 13 such applications the agency is considering. NRC spokesman Eliot Brenner said the earliest any of those could be approved would be late 2011 or carlv 2012. The Southeni Co. has begun site preparation in Burke but cannot begin construction without 1'\RC approval. Obama 's budget for the coming year would add $36 billion in new federal loan guarantees on top of S 18.5 billion already budgeted but not spent - for a total of $54.5 billion. That\ enough to help build six or seven new nuclear plants. which can cost $8 bi II ion to $10 billion each. The proposed nev,.· reactors would generate pmver for some 1.4 million people and employ about 850 people. the administration official said, adding that the Georgia project would create about 3 .000 construction jobs. fined $100: David R.

After some early Big Ten losses. No.6 Purdue is just a half-game back with No. 11 Wisconsin in third place one game behind the leaders. ~ "You can't ever feel good in college sports." Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "That's one of the beauties of playing in the Big Ten - if you don't come ready. you'll get embarrassed." The Spartans won their first nine conference games, but this week felt the sting of what Matta was talking about. "We're going through a little lull like Purdue went through and Ohio State went through." coach Tom Jzzo said. adding that his team sometimes lacks a sense of urgency. ''I tried to say it for a month when we were winning. and I say it now that wr ·ve,(lost a few).'' Injuries have had a hand in the Big Ten upheaval. Michigan State guard Kalin Luca~. the team ·s leading scorer. is hobbled by an ankle injury that forced him to miss one game and Ohio State ·s Evan Turner had a serious back injury. But ask the Bi~ Ten coaches to explain ~what's ttappened the past couple of weeks and they point to their 1 opponents and how their teams have played on the road. Michigan State (19-6. 9-3 Big Ten) dropped games at Wisconsin and Illinois before losing at home to Purdue. "1 think it's more because who we're playing and where we're playing them." lzzo said. "I was pleased with everything we did in the Illinois game except turn the ball over...

"We've got ourselves where we're a little bit of f1 contender, but we have a long way to go and a very tough schedule ahead of us.'' Weber said. That starts Sunday with a visit by Ohio State (19-6, 93). Matta's Buckeyes have been the other Big Ten spoiler, bouncing back from a 1-3 conference start that included losses to Michigan and Minnesota. Turner's return to the lineup after a month off with two broken bones in his back has been the key. Turner is the leading scorer ( 19.2 ppg) and rebounc!a (9 .3 rpg) in the Big T. He's also the Buckeyes undisputed leader, and 'the catalyst for whatever they accomplish this season. "Like Evan preached before the season started, we don't want to come to Ohio State and leave without leaving our mark. with anyone just saying 'They were a pretty good team but, really, what did they do?"' Buckeye junior David Lighty said. "Pretty much, a Big Ten championship is the start and then whatever happens after that. falls in line. Hopefully. a NCAA Final Four run:· The Illini have probably the toughest remaining schedule of the Big Ten contenders, with games against Purdue (20-3. 8-3). Wisconsin ( 18-6. 8-4) and two meetings with Ohio State. On pa...per. Wisconsin has the easiest s.chedule: ' games and only one Illinois - against a tea with a winning Big Ten record. None of the conference's top teams has. any reason to think they're out of the race. Wisconsin center Keaton Nankivil said. "A:- much of a cluster the Big Ten is, there is no reason to dwell on one loss," he said.

One huge piece of the set failed to rise from the stadium floor. and 'left one of the four final torchbearers, speedskater Catriona LeMay Doan, unable to use her torch. ' The ceremonies were dedicated to Kumaritashvili. and a moment of silence was 'observed in his memory. ,The seven remaining mem·bers of the Georgian team, who decided to stay and 'compete. wore black arm'bands as they marched hind a black-trimmed g. Most of the crowd rose • give respectful applause. · 1~1ternational Olympic 'committee president Jacques Rogge and the top 'Vancouver organizer, John Furlong, urged the athletes to ~ co~mpete in 'Kumaritashvili 's honor. "May you carry his Olymp1c dream on your shoulders and compete with his spirit in your heart." Furlong said. More than 60.000 people 'packed into the stadium for the evening extravaganza, the first Olympic opening or ·closing ceremony ever held indoors. The loudest ovation carne midway through, when the red-clad Canadian team - aiming for a firstplace finish - entered the .stadium as the last contingent of the parade of nations. The climax called for the uldron to be lit jointly by r Canadian sports heroes . al 1-time hockey great Wayne Gretzky. skier Nancy Greene, basketball All-Star Steve Nash and LeMay Doan. But the former speedskating medalist was left to stand by awkwardly when one of the four pillars hold- ing the Olympic cauldron failed to rise. A second, far larger cauldron was lit by Gretzky in a plaza along the downtown waterfront giving Vancouver a visible symbol for the rest of the games that the indoor stadium could not prov1de. • Rain was forecast through the weekend in Vancouver, with high temperatures near 50 degrees. prompting some to dub these the Spring Olympics. Rain also has disrupted Alpine skiing events at Whistler. About 2,500 athletes from a record 82 countries are participating in the games, vying for medals in 86 events including the newly added ski-cross competition. First-time Winter Olympic participants include the Cayman Islands, Columbia, Ghana, Montenegro, Pakistan, Peru and Serbia. The overall favorites include Germany and the United States - which finished first and second four years ago in Turin - and also Canada, a best-ever third in 2006 and now brashly proclaiming its intention to finish atop the medals table on its home turf. "We're still going to be nice. but we're going to be nice in winning," said Michael Chambers, president of the Canadian Olympic Committee. The Canadian team marched exultantly behind flagbearer Clara Hughes, defending gold medalist in the 5 ,000- meter speedskating race. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was among the thousands in the stadium rising to applaud. Just ahead in the parade were the Americans. Their flagbearer is Mark Grimmette, 39. of Muskegon. Mich .. competing in his fifth Olympics as a doubles luge competitor. Kumaritashvili would have been one of his Olympic rivals. The cultural segment of ceremony featured many of Canada's best-known musical stars - including Bryan Adams. Nelly Furtado, Sarah McLachlan and k.d. bng. It also highlighted per- formers and traditions from Canada's aboriginal communities. And the highestranking official delegation at the ceremony - amid dignitaries from around the world - included the four chiefs of the First Nations whose traditional native territory overlaps the Olympic region. Special effects included a giant. sparkling polar bear rising from the stadium floor and hovering over some performers on a simulated ice flow. Later, Celtic fiddlers performed under a stadiumwide cascade of autumn leaves, and an acrobat on wires performed an aerial ballet to the strains of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now." Several well-known Canadians received the honor of carrying the Olympic flag at a high-profile moment near the end of the ceremony. Among them were hockey Hall of Farner Bobby Orr, singer Anne Murray, race car driver Jacques Villeneuve and Betty Fox, mother of national hero Terry Fox. Terry Fox lost a leg to bone cancer as a youngster. then set off in 1980 on a fundraising trek across Canada. He had to give up after covering more than 3,000 miles. and died in 1981 at age 22. but remains revered by his compatriots as a symbol of courage and perseverance. The flame reached the stadium after a I 06-day torch relay across Canada, passing through more than I ,000 communities in every province and territory. The relay was the occasional target for protesters. and Friday was no exception. Activists espousing a variety of causes prompted the relay to change course twice as it passed near Vancouver's skid-row neighborhood. the Downtown Eastside. Later, several thousand protesters marched to the stadium. where hundreds of police were waiting for them. A standoff lasted more than two hours - with some sticks and water bottles thrown toward the officers. NEW YORK (AP) LeBron James. Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant and most of the reigning Olympic gold medalists could be back in U.S. uniforms this summer. If not, USA Basketball thinks 1t has plenty of players who can replace them. The Americans announced 27 players Wednesday for the national team pool that will be used to select the rosters for this summer's world championships and the 2012 Olympics in London. It features nine players who stood atop the medals platform in Beijing and a number of emerging young stars ready for their chance. "The pool is better than the one we had in the last quadrant and the interest level is higher, and so we feel like we're moving in the right direction," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said on a conference call, hours before he Jed his Duke team against rival North Carolina. Also returning from the 2008 team that ended the Americans' eight-year gold medal drought in major competitions are: Chris Bosh. Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer. All of the returning players previously told USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo they were interested in coming back after spending all or parts of three years playing for the team that returned the United States to the top of international basketball. "The reason they're back is they're deserving of being back,'' Colangelo said. James. Wade and Bosh are questionable to actually play this summer. All three can become free agents and have said their contract situations are their first priority. ''I really think it's kind of early. but I think guys still want to play," Anthony • said. "Of course we'll have that conversation in the near future, but they've got to take care of what they ' ve got to take care of first, which is their contracts and things like that." Paul is currently sidelined after knee surgery and Bryant is battling a number of injuries, so Colangelo knows he's not going to get all of his top choices. However. he isn't worried about that now. saying those decisions can wait until the team readies for its minicamp in July. ·'Everything is a matter of waiting. Everyone's personal situation we're waiting for next summer. There's nothing but speculation between now and then,'' Colangelo said. "That's why injuries and family issues and free agency, all of these things play a role. That's why you need a pool as strong as we had and that's why we're happy about it." The only players not returning from the team that won gold in Beijing are Jason Kidd. who previously said he was retiring from international competition with a perfect record, and Michael Redd and Tavshaun Prince. who have battled injuries this season. The remainder of the roster includes young stars such as Kevin Durant who nearly made the team that played in the 2007 Olympic qualifier and is considered a lock for this year's and Derrick Rose. Also returning to the national team are Chauncey Billups and Amare Stoudemire. who played on the U.S. team three years ago. Krzyzewski and assistants Jim Boeheim. Mike D 'Antoni and Nate McMillan already committed to returning last summer. Stoudemire is perhaps the biggest surprise on the roster.

''There wa:-; a time when he was really not going to be considered," Colangelo said. "Had he not really reached out throuch hie;; own efforts personally and his agent about his extreme desire to be part of it. he would not have been part of 1t. As a result of his expression of great interest. we reconsidered and he h now part of the pool:' Billups backed up Kidd on the 2007 team that went undefeated in Las Vegas, but he withdrew the next year for family reasons. He may not have made the final 12-man roster an)way. since Paul \Vas back from an injury that sidelined him the previc>Us summer. Lakers forward Lamar Odom, who played on the 2004 Olympic team. also was chosen Wednesday. The rest of the players arc almost entirely young players.

It's a low'risk agreement similar to the :one that brought running :back Larry Johnson to :Cincinnati for the last half of Jast season. The team's Web 'site also said he had reached a contract agreement. The Bengals also have shown an interest in oftensuspended cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. who worked out for the team on Thursday. Jones also sat out last season after being released by the Cowboys, failing to land a job in the CFL. The Bengals don't comment on free agents until they have signed deals. Cincinnati's priority in the offseason is improving a passing game that ranked 26th in the league despite a full season from quarterback Carson Palmer. The Bengals lost T.J. Houshmandzadeh as a free agent after the 2008 season. and tried to replace him with Laveranucs Coles, who struggled to catt:h on. Receiver Chris Henry broke his arm and later died after a fall from a truck during a domestic dispute. Matt Jones was Jacksonville's first-round pick in 2005. but he started only five games in his first three seasons. His best season was in 2008. when he had 65 catches for 761 yards. He also was arrested and charged with cocaine possession in July of that year. In a plea agreement. Jones was ordered to participate m a league-sponsored program that provides substance abuse counseling. He also had to undergo random drug tests. The league suspended him for the final three games or the season for violating its substance abuse policy. The Jaguars waived him last March after he was jailed for violating his plea agreement. Jones failed an alcohol screening. and told a judge he drank beer while golfing with friends. • 740-592-2497 • 93 Columbus Road Athens, OH View Entire Inventory at www.seimports.com • R'-lgolral!:w""'rl1!•rld~~t~IW»m! t•tta.-;-ll,..tWii.jif&IIIP· &aai:Jf"·lD-1:""1-'R iiiaa 1:$,HQGI!tfl·!Hal1olll "-!'li..U ~"SI!<" 111-f !; ••'~illllll~l!l!llll';!llll!li~ I!! f!llll~0'!·6Eattli'l·!lf•IIUI·llf·llb!ll<lill H•tl!.fi·l•<h>l' fN!llatl·l<4&1MA'I·&i:al' l'lotJil!la!r.il<Jtntllllt • �Middleport • Pomeroy • Gallipolis, OH • Point Pleasant, WV Page B6 • The Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday.

Giving valentines has been going on for centuries to express a range of feelings from romantic to friendly or 5.omewhere in between. And year after year Bend area store shelves overflow \\ ith a wide selection of valentines from which to select just the right one, be it for your sigmficant other or. say, an older brother. Not all, however, me sentimental and sweet, or for that matter what might even be called contemporary chic. Some will be humorous, and a few may even poke fun at the recipient or love itself. There will even be a few \\ hich carry a bit of sarcasm or a sli~ht insult - a more subtle versaon of what years ago were called "vinegar valentines." "rudes and crudes'' and ''penny dreadfuls.'' .Most. ho\\ e\ er, will convey a message of ''looking at the v. orld through the eyes of love," expressed through a printed 'erse in a beautiful card. While it may be the ''thought that counts" when sending most holiday cards, for Valentine's Day it's the verse - real words of affection (like one I received from my husband many years ago) - "We've been together all thts tame. and still I hope you know, your love ha~ meant much more to me. than I could ever know." The legend of giving valentines goes back to Rome in 270 A.D. A young priest named Valentinus had been jailed for refusing to denounce his Christian beliefs. He wac; sentenced to death by Emperor Claudius II. The c;tory goe~ that while in jail he met the jailer's blind daughter. fell in love with her. and before being put to death sent her a farewell message signing it "From Your Valentine." There arc oth~:r versions on the origin, but it matters not. What does matter is that Valentine's Day provides a wonderful opportunity to express feelings of affection, to show appreciation for support from family, to rene\\ and culti\ ate friendships, and to just basicall) connect with others. Because valentines convey feelings of one person for another, there is a tendency to tuck special ones away for safe keeping. Many times they are found years later by family members or friends in attics and basements, sometimes pac;ted in albums or scrapbooks, other times amidst old love letters tied together \Vith rihbon .

Hosted by Board Certified Veterinaty Behaviorist Dr. Karen Sueda, the 13 videos cover a wide range of topics from socializing your new kitten to understanding your kitten's transition to adulthood. The series is full of easy steps to help you enrich your relationship with your kitten and create a foundation of well-being for many years to come. Choosing to adopt a kitten is a lifelong decision. so establishing a connection with your kitten right off the bat is very important. Kittens are only kittens tor a year, but this short time is the most significant stage of a eat's development. Here are some tips to get you and your kitten started down the right path· Kitten Care First Days Checklist Making introductions. From preparing a shopping list to introducing your kitten to existing pets. consider these easy tips for welcoming a kitten into your home and into your life: When you introduce your kitten to existing pets, it is important to do so with care and caution. Introductions through a closed door will help each one become familiar with the other by smell. Then follow-up with a relaxed face-to-face meeting. Treats and pla)'time are great ways to encourage healthy interactions and pleasant associations. Keep litter boxes and food and water bowls separate in the beginning to maintain household harmony and alleviate competition. l :- What you need most. A qutck trip to the local pet supply store can help you find everythtng you need to kec:p your kitten happy. healthy and safe. • A pet carrier for transporting your kitten in the car. • Litter and a litter box. • Food and water bowls. • A supply of kitten food such a" Purina Kttten Chow. • Groommg tools, toys and a scratching post are also important to your kitten '5 socialization and in the development of routines. The First Days Home A kitten needs a safe place where she can rest. relax and not get into hann 's way. Allow your kitten to acclimate to her new environment slowly. ChoOSI:! a quiet, small room and make that "home ba~e" for the first few days. This area should ha\·e the kitten's food, water. bed and liner box. Once your kttten feels comfortable and confident. allow her to begin exploring. Safety first. Kittens are curious and playful, but they can get themselves into trouble unintentionally. Take a look around your house and examine the world from your kitten's view. Consider wires, plants, sharp objecb and small items that can be chewed on or swallowed and remove them from your kitten's reach. It is also smart to keep your new kitten indoors and out of danger. Proper eating habits. Kittens tend to be occasional eaters, and this can sometimes be interpreted that a kitten does not like a certain diet. Much like adult cats, kittens tend to graze and want to return to their food intennittently. Kittens. like babies, need then· own special food. Establishing proper eatmg habits for your kitten helps prevent problems before they start and gi\'eS your kitten the best nutritional foundatton for a long and healthy life. Make litter box training a breeze. Instinct ~ill usually guide your kitten to develop good litter box habits, but you can help the process by establishing a private location for the box and cleaning it regularly. Many kittens prefer a smaller box with low walls, and then you can help them work up to a larger box in time. Place the litter box in a quiet. out of the way location away from your kitten's food and water, and when your kitten starts interacting with the litter in the box. then calmly praise her to reinforce the behavior. l<'irst visit to your Yet. One of the first items of business wtth your veterinarian will be a thorough exammation and schedule of vaccinations. This \isit is also Veterinary Behaviorist and Purina Cat Cho" \ Ienior Dr. Karen Sueda a good time to discuss spaying and neutering. Ask any other questions you have about health and beha\ ior. Schedule follow-up nsits. and m between appointments, do your own "home health checks." checking for any bumps or growths while petting or grooming your kitten. It may sound a little overwhelming at first, but you will find that it all comes relatively easily and naturally when you love your kitten like you would any other member of the family. Taking the time to play v.ith her, care for her and ease htlr into your home environment goes a long way toward ensuring that she has a happy, healthy and long lite with you. �------~---------------------·--~------------------------------------------~.-~ PageC4 iunbap ~hnes -ienttnel Sunday, February 14, 2010 Clarke M.

"What to get the Dan Brown Jan (Family Features) - The popularity of Dan Brown's latest novel, "The Lost Symbol,'' has opened up the secretive world of the Freemasons to millions of readers. The ancient society and puzzling ciphers featured in the book have sparked interest in finding out more about both. Now, that interest can be fed with two books in the popular "For Dummies(r)" series. "The Masons are the largest. oldest and most legendary fraternal organization in the world," says "Freemasons For Dummies(r)'' author Christopher Hodapp. a 32nd degree Mason, Past Master, and a ~ember of the Knights Templar. "They use the symbols and vocabulary of the medieval stonemasons to teach modem philosophical lessons to their members." There are about 3 million Freemasons in the world, and 1.5 million in the United States. Masonic lodges can be found in most communities. In the U.S., they are plainly marked. but their ceremonies and rituals are conducted privately. behind closed doors. Masonic secrecy is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the fraternity. says Hodapp. "Secrecy is a demonstration of honor in the lodge. a symbol of being able to keep your word. If a man can't be trusted to keep something as insignificant as a pass word or handshake a secret, his word can't very well be trusted with the important things in life.'' Hodapp's book gives an overview of the historic society of the Freemasons. It addresses when and why the society was founded, the elaborate rituals, cryptic rights and veiled symbols (the number three, the square and compass, etc.) of Freemasonry throughout the centuries. The book also addresses the various conspiracy theories put fo11h in the past. explores the many at1ists. politicians. and leaders who were and currently are members. and covers how the organization impacts our society today. Besides fast-paced action. Brown's principal trademark is his fascination with puzzles, codes and cryptic symbols. and ''The Lost Symbol" has no shortage of them. Mathematical magic squares, secret writing codes and word games all play a part in the plot. Fans will find these types of mind-challenging games in "Cracking Codes & For Cryptograms Dummies(r)," by syndicated puzzle author Denise Sutherland and Mark Koltko-Rivera.

Source: Wiley Publishing "The Murderer's Daughters" (St. Martin's Press, 320 pages, $24.99). by Randy Susan Meyers: Lulu's mother told her not to let her father in the apartment, but it's hard for a 10year-old to say "no" to a parent. So Lulu opened the door and then ran for help as her father stabbed her mother and sister. Death comes quickly in "The Murderer's Daughter.'' Randy Susan Meyers· debut novel. Within pages. Lulu's mother is dead, her father is in prison and her 5-yearold sister, Merry, is recovering in a hospital. Then the girls are shuttled rapidly from their grandmother's home to an orphanage to a foster home. Lulu, desperate to leave behind the stigma of being a murderer ·s daughter, orders Merry to tell everyone their parents died in a car crash - and shuts herself off from most close relationships. Merry remains devoted to her father. even as she fears him. Meyers· novel follows Lulu and Merry for three decades after their mother's death, exploring how the crime shaped them. their relationships and their career choices. The story's premise comes from an incident in Meyers· childhood, according to a release from the publisher. (Her mother survived an attack by her father.) L ater events in the novel draw on Meyers' experiences working with victims of domestic violence . Meyers' writing is dramatic without being overdone, and the plot is eminently plausible. Lulu buries her grief in schoolwork and eventually becomes a successful doctor. She marries the son of an alcoholic who, like Lulu. just wants a peaceful home and a quiet life. Merry struggles to understand why her father would try to kill her. She loses herself in alcohol and bad relationships and seeks some kind of resolution by working with victims and parolees. The book skims through several decades. so there's sometimes a sense of jumping into the characters' lives without understanding how they arrived at that point. This is part icularly true when Merry goes from being a sweet 12-year-old to a rebellious and sexual 17year-old. It's never clear what made her change. Instead, it feels like Meyers suddenly decided that Merry must be the foi l to Lulu, the good girl and strong survivor. T here is also a lack of evolution among the characters. Lulu eventually visits her father and Merry stops visiting, which seems to be meant as a sign of per- sonal growth for the sisters. But Lulu never forgives her father or shows understanding of his crime, and her relationships continue to seem limited. Merry also ends up without strong relationships, still caught up in a bond with her father. Perhaps this reflects Meyers· real-world experience with victims who have trouble moving beyond their childhood traumas. but in a noveL it's a disappointing ending.

Sometimes sign that they're chapped. Lips arc susceptible to dryness - the root cause of the burning, cracking and flaking - because the skin is thin and they lack oil glands and natural moisture. Chapping can happen anytime of year. although lips are particularly susceptible in the winter when there is little humidity in the air. The best way to prevent it is to keep lips protected and moisturized all the time, says Dr. Charles Zugerman, associate professor of dermatology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. "The key to keeping lips healthy and moist is simple - you have to care for them every day. A layer of lip balm ments." Lip balm has become a big beauty category and the choices in stores range from waxy sticks to gooey gels . The right one depends on personal preference and condition. A gel tends to be soothing and moisturizing while giving the appearance of dewiness, with little or no color. explains Chase Aston. international makeup artist for The Body Shop. Waxbased products provide more of a protective shield. and cream-based formulas tend to be thicker and heavily nourishing, be says. T he richest. creamiest options are often called ''butters,'' Aston says. Linda Wells. editor-inchief of Allure magazine, "Avoid scented or navored balms - these can irritate your skin.'' She also makes the case for SPF 15 so you don't add injury to insult. Naturals and botanicals are increasingly important in all skin-care categories but perhaps none more so than lip products. Surely, between eating and talking, some of your balm ends up being ingested. Kiehl's signature lip-balm ingredient is squalane. made from olive oil, which mimics the skin's natural oils. says Clyde Johnson, the brand's director of education. Additionally, wheatgerm oil is very emollient, avocado is very gentle and calming, and vitamin E is a protective antioxidant - so 1 0 they are other key ingredients to look for, he says. Aston recommends products with beeswax. shea butter. coconut oil and lanolin. Some balms have a textured-tip applicator to mor.e deeply work moisturize into the lip. It's a conscious choice not to flavor Kiehl 's products with sweet flavors. Johnson says. because that could make licking them tempting - and the evaporating saliva left on your lips when you lick them actually dehydrates. The company also steers clear of cooling agents like camphor, which can be drying or irritating, he adds. Chapped lips can be painful, notes Zugerman, and for that. some products. such as Blistex Lip Ointment. have an external analgesic that might provide relief. • FREE SHIPPtNG ~ AT&T Is the official wireless sponsor of Ohio State Athletics.

In general, every room should have three basic layers of light: general or ambient lighting, task lighting and accent lighting. Ambient Lighting Ambient lighting provides overall lighting for the whole room. Typical lighting fixtures for this layer include recessed fixtures, pendants, chandeliers and surface-mounted fixtures. Recess<-'<~ Fixtures: A basic recessed fixture, typically housing a reflector floodlight. throws light downward in a cone shape. Placing recessed fixtures in an evenly spaced grid pattern lets those pools of light overlap and provide even lighting. In a room with eight-foot ceilings, place the fixtures in a grid from four to six feet apart. eliers: A chandelier that's too big overpower a room. One that's too small will seem out of proportion. One trick to calculating a chandelier's size is to measure the width of the room in feet. Double that number and you ·u get the diameter of the ideal chandelier in inches. For example, a room that's 12 feet wide should have a chandelier no wider than 24 inches in diameter. Surface Mounted Fixtures: Surface mounted fixtures can be very functional fluorescent types with white diffusing plastic covers or decorative crystal designs that can add sparkle and drama to foyers and hallways. Like chandeliers. they tend to distribute light more broadly than downlights, and are useful in delivering light to wall surfaces. Tips and Tricks • The bottom of a hanging fixture should generally be seven feet above the floor. If a fixture hangs above a dining table in a room with an eight-foot ceiling, rhe bottom of the fixture should hang about 30 inches above the table. • The minimum chandelier dian1eter for most dining rooms should be 20 inches. It should be no greater than the length of the table minus 12 inches. • For higher ceiling applications, consider using spotlights to add more "punch" to objects below. Task Lighting Task lighting focuses on a specific area of the room where activities like reading, cooking or sewing .require additional light. It can be as simple as a pendant light over a kitchen counter, undercabinet lighting, mirror lighting or a reading lamp by a chair. To achieve multiple task lighting levels that accommodate simple to more difficult - - __, activities, try using GE Reveal 3-way bulbs, which provide clean, white light at three different levels. Tips and Tricks • As a general rule, task lighting should be no more than three times as bright as the ambient light. • Fluorescents under a kit{;hen cabinet provide energy-efficient light for food preparation. • For floor lamps next to a reading chair. the base of the lamp shade should be 40 to 42 inches off the floor. • Lighting fixtures at least 16 inches long, placed on both sides of a mirror. can work best for grooming activities. Accent Lighting Accent lighting creates drama in a room by revealing pleasing architectural features in a room and highlighting artwork, plants and other decorative items. Track lighting and recessed adjustable fixtures are typically used for accent lighting. Downlights over tables and counters can provide visual interest and highlight decorative items. For paintings and other decorative items displayed on walls, lighting fixtures are usually 2 to 3 feet from the wall (for ceiling heights of 8 to 9 feet). Halogen reflector lamps in various sizes and beam spreads are popular light source choices. Tips and Tricks • Accent light should typically cast about five times more light on a target than the general light of the room. It should be aimed carefully to prevent glare or unwanted reflections. • To highlight the texture of wall surfaces like stone or brick, graze the wall with light. However, if there are imperfections in the wall surface, tben place lighting fixtures away from the wall to avoid grazing light • TI1ree dimensional objects like sculpture are often better revealed with more than one light source. Carefully chosen ;md well-placed lighting tixtures w1ll help put your home in the very best light. For more lighting ideas tips, visit gelighting.com. Task lighting focuses light on a specific area in which an activity takes place. In a kitchen, for example, undercabinet lighting makes it easier to do food prep on the counters. Bulb Basics Not all light bulbs are the same- how do you know which bulb is right for your fixture? Mary Beth Gotti. a lighting expe11 with GE Consumer & Industrial, has these tips to help. Choose the light quality for your style. Find the right shape • Some bulbs, such as GE Reveal incandescent and halogen bulbs, have neodymium in the glass. This rare earth element tillers out dull yellow rays. making colors in artwork, wallpaper and fabric really stand out. • Halogen produces bright, crisp white light, and is often used by designers. Excellent for task lighting or special accent Iighting to call attention to a favorite art piece. • Compact fluorescent bulbs use up to 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs. and )a<;t up to 10 times longer. The right bulb for the fixture means increased light output and better functionality. • Usc general purpose bulbs in table and floor lamps as well as enclosed ceiling fixtures. • Decorative bulbs should be used in chandeliers. sconces or anywhere the light source is visible. • Spotlights and floodlights are best for track and recessed fixtures. I • �PageD2 iunbap mimes -ienttnel Sunday,Februaryt4,2010 DESIGN INTERVENTION Growing Mini Roses Indoors KATHY 80ND·BORIE, GUEST COLUMNIST FAMILY FEATURES Even though the weather has turned cold and we've put our garden roses to bed for the winter. that doesn't mean we have to be rose-depdved until !>pring. Miniature roses adapt quite well to life indoor~. They are a bit more particular about light and humidity than some indoor nowering plants. but they will reward the extra effmt with stunning flowers that come in a wide range of colors. For the most part. miniature roses are :;caled-dm\ n versions offull-sized rose~. and while they vary in many ways. all mini roses have small. rarely fragrant flowers. Plants can range from micro-minis (5 inches or less) to 3 to 4 feet or even larger. Flowers can be anywhere from 1/2 to 2 inches across. with a color range as broad as for full-size roses. . Mini roses need plenty of bright light. such as in a bright west- or south-facing window. But for repeat bloom. you'll need the supplementary light provided by fluorescent tubes. Also provide some extra humidity around the plants because indoor air is typically quite dry. Set plants in a water-filled tray on a layer of pebbles. or use a room humidifier. If humidity is too low. the leaves will shrivel, turn yellow, and drop. Here are some other tips: 1. Buy new plants each season to ensure that your plants are free of diseases and pests. Choose varieties that are short and especially floriferous. 2. Fertilize weekly with a fertilizer diluted to one-quarter strength. To encourage blooms. use a fertilizer with a formula high in potassium. such as 5-5-lO. 3. Watch carefully for any ~ign of pests. Spray whiteflies with a lightweight horticultural oil. If spider mites become a problem, wash plants thoroughly every 2 to 3 days. For a severe infestation of spider mites. strip all leaves and cut the plant back by half. Healthy new growth will emerge rapidly. 4. Use a commercial potting mixture containing perlite and vermiculite when repotting. 5. When flowering has finished, place plants under tluoresccnt lights to encourage reblooming in about six weeks. 6. After the last frost in spring. gradually acclimate plants to outdoor air. Plant them in the garden or in an outdoor container. For more tps and garden information visit www.garden.org It's that time of year .. when designers all ovl!r the world start getting exL"ited.

Source: National Gardening A".wciarion How to make the most of Valentine's Day flowers BY DEAN FOSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS There may be cheaper ways to declare your lo,·c on Valentine's Day than by saying it with flowers. but that docsn 't mean having to forgo a bouquet. Just put more thought into the presentation. Sometimes less is more. such as attaching a caring note to a single long-stemmed rose rather than ordering a pricey dozen. Or mix a few stellar roses with a hi!! selection of lower-priced blooms to make a statement. ~ Sprinkling a layer of rose petals on pillows or noating them on a candlelit bubble bath has been known to warm a Valentine's heart. Be creative about showcasing whatever you can afford. ~ ..Flowers arc a luxury. a discretionary purchase. but they're an affordable luxury," said Jennifer Sparks. vice president of marketing for the Society of American Florists in Alexandria. Va. ··A lot of people may be going away for the (Valentine's) weekend. but with the economy the way it is, many more will be staying home and having dinner in. Flowers accent that and create a little romance at the same time." Here are some ways to prune your Valentine's Day floral costs even further: • Shopping ahead of time can earn you some incentives. ''There's a better chance you can get free delivery, better selection or an early bird discount,'' Sparks said ...It certainly should guarantee they'll anive on time since Valentine's Day this year falls on a Sunday when there's no mail or express delivery." • Buy a small but extravagant assortment of lesser-known cut flowers. ''Red roses are probably the most popular gift, but there are so many other options and price ranges," Sparks said. ''Carnations and tulips are great alternatives. There abo are some fragrant new hybrids out there that are a great value. Don't be afraid to ask tlodsts for suggestions.'' • Stretch things out. Put a potted plant here: place a mixed bouquet there. Present her with a corsage before leaving for that special dinner. • Craft your own arrangement. Dig around for a v.•himsical pot or unusual vase. Design something suggestin2 a shared experience or a memorable trip together. Drop some golf balls or seashells beneath the blooms or stick a couple of theater tickets and several colorful postcards into a hand-tied mix. Still another way to boost flower power is by coaxing your blooms to stay fresh longer than the usual four to seven days. Re-cut the stems with a sharp knife as soon as you get them home so they can "sip" whatever water they need. Remove any leaves below the waterline to avoid unsightly bacterial growth and decay. Keep flowers in a cool place overnight (65 to 72 degrees): steer clear of drafts, heating and cooling vents, and long periods of direct sunlight. And who says real men don't like flowers? ''When it comes to receiving flowers. men and women are on the same playing field." said Jeanette HavilandJones, a Rutgers University psychology professor. in a behavioral study reinforcing the idea that nowen; have n positive impact on emotional health. • MONDAY TELEVISION GUIDE J • �,.,.--------------------~-----------~---~------~-- -- - --- - - -- \!Cributte - Sentinel - l\e ister CLASSIFIED In One Week With Us mdtclassificd~~:l!u~·ib\Uie.com REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE Your Ad, Ca II Today•• • or Fax To (740) « s-aooa Monday thru Friday 8: 00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or Fax To (740) 992-2157 200 Ohio Valley Publishing reserves the right to edit. reject or cancel any ad at any time.

Biomass Crop Assistance Program to spur production of renewable energy, job creation WASHINGTON- The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a proposed rule for the new Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) that intends to spur the expansion of dedicated non-food crops for renewable energy and biofuel production. A public comment period will continue for 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register. "Advancing biomass and biofuel production holds the potential to create green jobs. which is one of the many ways the Obama Administration is working to rebuild and revitalize rural Amelica," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Facilities that produce renewable fuel from biomass have to be designed. built and operated. Additionally. BCAP will stimulate biomass production and that will benefit producers and provide the materials necessary to generate clean energy and reduce carbon pollution." Authorized in the Food, Conservation. and Energy Act of 2008. BCAP is designed to ensure that a sufficiently large base of new, non-food, non-feed biomass crops is established in anticipation of future demand for renewable energy consumption. BCAP is intended to reduce the financial risk for farmers. ranchers and forest landowners by providing incentive payments to those who invest in the production, harvest. storage and transportation of new first-generation energy crops that displace hydrocarbonbased materiab now used for heat. power and vehicle fuel. On May 5, 2009, President Obama issueJ a Presidential Directive to accelerate the investment in and production of biofuels. On June II. 2009. a notice of funds availability (NOFA) was published for certain p01tions of BCAP. and the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) issued the first payment in August 2009. Early program beneticiaries to date include a Vermont school that will replace I00 percent of its fossil fuel consumption with biomass, a start-up pellet company that uses locally-grown agriculture residues from Iowa farms and a rural electric cooperative that displaces fossil fuels with woodchips to generate low-cost electricity in n01theastem Georgia. BCAP is authorized to fund two main types of activities. First. it provides funding for agriculture and forest land owners and operators to receive matching payments for eligible biomass materials sold to qualified biomass conversion facilities for the production of heat, power, bio-based products or advanced biofuels. The payment rate is intended to assist producers with the cost of collection. harvest. storage and transportation of the biomass to the facility. for up to two years. This is the part of the program covered by President Obama's Presidential Directive. Additionally. BCAP will provide funding for producers of eligible renewable crops within a select geographical area to receive payments up to 75 percent of the cost of establishing the crop and annual payments for up to 15 years for crop production. Other proposed notable goals of BCAP include improvements in forest health by removing uneconomical forest thinning. reducing the risk of disease, invasive species and forest fires and providing new options for improving air quality by avoiding open-air burning of scrap biomass. A copy of the proposed rule is available online at www.fsa.usda.gov/bcap.
