Bridenbaugh added the project is a couple months behind but has required a significant permitting process and now a comment period concerning its Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) based on 'information documented in its environmental assessment. "We are making a lot of strides." Bridenbaugh said about the project which is now moving along towards a bidding phase which he gues::;ed could begin in the next couple of months. Family Healthcare received notice of the federal funcjs in June 2009 which means it has two years to :build the facility and then 90 days from that to close 'out the project. At this time. Bridenbaugh said the non· profit organization is look- ing to open its doors September 2011, at this point Family Healthcare's Chillicothe Branch is its largest at 18.000 square feet though the new Meigs facility will be its second. once built. at 10,000 square feet. Currently. Family Healthcare is leasing a building in Middleport which only has 4.800 square feet of space. At yesterday's regular. meeting of the Meigs County Commissioners. the of Family topic Healthcare ·s new clinic was discussed with Commission President Tom Anderson saying: "This means a lot to Meigs County in terms of health care and that this health care will be centrally located in the county. Their sliding fee scale allows more affordable. quality health care for everyone. This is a valuable asset for Meigs County. The building's design is based on Family Healthcarc 's newest office in McArthur and will have 11 exam rooms. two procedure rooms and a dental department with five patient rooms, although two of those rooms are not expected to be operational at the time of the new clinic's opening. An estimated 40 percent of patients at Family Hcalthcarc in Meigs County arc uninsured and receive care on a sliding fee scale, the highest percentage at the non-profit's six locations. Also at the Meigs site, those with private insurance make up around 20 percent of patients.

BROTHER."S Feels like everyone will think he S crazy Dear Dr. Brothers: All right, so I'm writing to you from a mental institution. My parents had me put here a year ago \Vhich was a really good idea. because I was nearly suicidal - and now I'm good enough to be released. The problem is. I don't really know how my friends are going to treat me, and I'm worried. I don't want them to think I'm still all cra1.y and stuff and treat me differently. I ask the people around here, but they tell me not to worry. But I do. - M.W. D~ar M.W.: Although we have made many strides in our understanding of mental illness and how it is treated, the scary image of the sanitarium lingers in . our society. There are so many ways of dealing with emotional and mental disorders that the average' person couldn't possibly keep up. But unless they have direct knowledge of the type of therapy or routines in a mental institution. the myths about the topic combined with misinformation in movies and television usually make life after institutionalization fairly rough.

Investigators, were reviewing records from the site of the blast and waiting for dangerous gases to be ventilated before going underground at the Upper Big Branch mine. It will probably be another week until investigators can safely go in. MSHA Administrator Kevin Stricklin said.

Judge: No allergy risk proven for execution COLUMBUS (AP) - A federal judge has rejected a condemned Ohio inmate's argument that a review is needed to determine the effect of an anesthesia allergy on his execution scheduled for next week. U.S. District CoUJt Judge Gregory Frost ruled Friday that inmate Darryl Durr has failed to present enough evidence of an allergy that could affect the execution process. Frost says Durr is relying too much on speculation and also has waited too long to make the claim after apparently learning about the supposed allergy in 2007, if not earlier. Federal court papers filed earlier Friday by the state attorney show no evidence of such an allergy beyond Durr's own statements. Durr is scheduled to die Tuesday for raping and stran- · gling a 16-year-old girl in 1988. PageA6 HII Dad wants more answers in soldier's suicide Sunday, Apri118, 2010 TOLEDO (AP) - The father of an Ohio soldier who killed himself in Iraq says the Army didn't do enough to punish three sup~riors accused of mistreating men in their platoon . Two of the men were sentenced to several months· confinement and the other who had faced up to 25 years behind bars - received a pay cut. "How is that remotely fair,'' said Pvt. Keiffer Wilhelm's father, Shane, who served in the Navy during Operation Desert Storm, in an interview Thursday. The military saia its investigation into Wilhelm's death found that his superiors ridiculed men in their platoon and punished them physically. But it also said there was no evidence that it Jed to Wilhelm's death. The 19-year-old who grew up in northern Ohio told his mother just before his death in August that he had to run for miles with rocks in his pocket<> that smashed against his knees and that his personal items were disappearing. He was in Iraq with his new platoon for just 10 days before he killed himself. A military panel in Kuwait on Sunday convicted Staff Sgt. Bob Clements of Eastland, Texas. of obstructing justice, but cleared him on charges of cruelty and maltreatment. · He was given a one grade reduction in pay. Two others were convicted earlier of cruelty and maltreatment. Staff Sgt. Enoch Chatman. of West Covina. Calif.. was sentenced to three months' confinement, and Sgt. Jarrett Taylor of Edmond. Okla., received six months. Charges against a fourth ·soldier were dismissed after he agreed to testify against the others and resign from the Army. Shane Wilhelm, of Plymouth, said Clements appeared to be the "ringleader," and that he deserved a harsher sentence. Wilhelm said he plans on appealing to military leadership to take another look at the trial. "I don't think it's over yet," he said. A. message seeking comment was left with Clements' wife on Friday. Wilhelm made four trips overseas for the trials, spending his own money along with about $16,000 that had been donated. He said that prosecutors weren't allowed to tell the military panels deciding the cases that his son had killed himself. An Army spokesman did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday. Keiffer Wilhelm, who grew up in Willard, had volunteered to leave for Iraq before the rest of his unit and join a brigade with the mission of training security forces. His fam ily said he kn enough to expect some hazing because several friends and family members had served in the armed forces. His father said he hopes that what happened to his son will change how the Army trains those in leadership positions. "Keiffer wasn't the only one," he said. "These other kids were fortunate they survived it." Suicide rates have increased in all military branches since the start of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army had a record number of suicides last year. Efforts to reduce soldier suic ides have not cut down the numbers. Gen. George Casey, the service's chief of staff. said in February. Wilhelm now wants to talk to the soldiers who were in his son's unit during the last hours. Ir. Rethink Possible Ohio unemployment ticks up to 11.0 pet in March COLUMBUS (AP) - A slow and steady rise in unemployment has put Ohio's jobless rate at its highest level in more than a quarter-century. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said Friday that unemployment rate rose slightly during March to 11 .0 percent, from 10.9 percent in February. Department spokesman Brian Harter says last summer's unemployment rates higher than II percent have since been revised downward.

The Ohio Inspector General said in a report Friday it's not clear the Department of Transportation has the authority to pay the stipends. meant to attract firms reluctant to expend resources on bids for huge jobs. At issue is a $450 million project to build a new bridge for Interstate 90 in Cleveland. The state has selected three companies to bid on the project.

That's because McKinniss, on Tuesday night at the regular monthly meeting of the Jackson City Schools Board of Education, was hired as the Ironmen 's new varsity head coach. Hence, McKinniss returns to the Ironme'n bench, where he served in the boys program once before as an assistant to former Jackson head coach Dustin Ford. In a way, his hiring has completed a circle. Since his hiring as a teacher in the Jackson City School District six years ago, he said he has "always :wanted to be a boys coach in the district I teach in." . "I'm pretty excited about that and am excited about started," said getting McKinniss. "I would like to thank the administration, Superintendent Mr. Howard and Board of Education for giving me this opportunity.'' McKinniss was unanimously approved as part of the lengthy consent agenda, as he succeeds two-year head coach Larry Jordan, who resigned a month ago and whose resignation was accepted at 'formally Tuesday's meeting. McKinniss returns to the high school coaching ranks, and also Jackson High School. He coached the varsity Ironladies for two years, before a one-year sabbatical, followed by two years as an assistant for the Univef"sity · of Rio Grande men. McKinniss' contract as the girls coach at Jackson, in March of three years ago, was not recommended for renewal by then-Jackson Cit} Schools Superintendent Steve Anderson and ex-athletic director Jason Snider. The non-renewal was a subject of great public controvcrsy. But with a change in the district's leadership, McKinniss is glad to be back coaching at Jackson. "It was a great opportunity to coach the girls, and it was a learning experience, one that I enjoyed," he said. ''I'm grateful now for the opportunity to come back and coach the boys. I'm going to approach this an experience that we're going to work hard." McKinniss assisted Ford for one season, which just happened to be a historic one for the Ironmen. Jackson tied a school record for victories with 18, set a single-season school record regular-season triumphs with 17, and snapped the dubious 33-game losing streak at Gallia Academy. McKinniss said he "learned a lot" from Ford, who has since served as an assistant at Western Carolina Ohio and currently University. "Coach Ford just has a great feel for the game of basketball,'' said McKinniss:' McKinniss' mentor as a player, at Gallia Academy, was the legendary Jim Osborne. McKinniss graduated from GAHS in 1997, before returning to assist Osborne for four seasons. ··coach Osborne helped me get a feel for scouting, running practices, how to plan for a game, how to plan in the offseason, how to make kids better, how to give kids the opportunity to get better. and just build a program," he said. He returned to Gallia County two years ago - as head coach Ken French's assistant at Rio Grande. ''That was just a totally different experience altogether because it was col- lege basketball," McKinniss recalled. ''The level of basketball is just outstanding. From the teams you play to the quality of players to the quality of athletes, it was a whole different ballgame as far as basketball goes. The knowledge and the experience gained from having gone through that will benefit me for years to come:' McKinniss commented that each experience has helped him prepare for the next. "Anytime you're coaching, no matter what the program or level, you're going to gain from that. I've always been able to take that knowledge I gained, every year from every program I've been involved in, and just applied it to what we do now," he said. "Everything I've learned up to this point has prepared me, given me knowledge and allowed me to see things from a different angle." Different angles, but same game. "Boys, girls, high school, college, it doesn't matter. Basketball is basketball," said McKinniss. ''You still have to guard, you still have to take care of the basketball, and you still have to score more points than your opponents." The Ironmen graduated six seniors, and went with a limited bench last season under Jordan. The only returning sta1ter Kip is point guard Winchester. The Red and White was primarily a three-point shooting club last season, but McKinniss made no promises on his specific offensive and defensive philosophies. I can't say what our style is going to be," he said. 'Tve not been in the gym with the guys. I saw them play a couple of times last year." Although, most of his upcoming Ironmen arc off the reserve and/or freshmen squads. McKinniss made a general philosophical statement. "Th1s I do know. We're going to have to guard the basketball. we're going to have to play hard all the time and get on the floor after loose~balls. and we're going to have to do different things based on our opponent." he said. "I always ask my teams to do two things: play hard and play together. If we do those two things, we'll give . ourselves a chance to win a lot of games." For now, though. it's a lot of preparation for the summer. McKinniss met with his Ironmen for the first time on Thursday night and added that he hopes to have his coaching staff in place by May. He does have his "June schedule put together" he said. which includes a team camp, shootouts and the Jackson High School summer league on Wednesday nights. "We're ready to go in June," he said. "It's just a matter of getting the kids in the gym and getting some work done." Jackson High School athletic director Bob Kight "no called McKinniss stranger to a successful program:· ''Heath's a young energetic individuaL and he will get the job done," said Kight. ''There's no doubt in my mind.'' When next season tips off. McKinniss will be the fifth Ironmen mentor in the past seven years. He follows Ford and twoyear coaches Todd May and Jordan. sandwiched around one-year boss Bruce Hurst.

The Los Angeles Lakers definitely missed their MVP and 7-foot center while stumbling through losses in seven of their last 11 games. Sure. they still earned the No. 1 seed in the West and homecourt advantage throughout the conference finals, but they hardly looked like the defending champions. "We've all been a little bit frustrated with how things sometimes have gone," Pau Gasol said. "Right now it's all about getting together. get focused and get back to business.'' No one believes that more than Br) ant. who detests talking about his injunes.

Bynum missed 13 straight games with a strained right Achilles'. "He looked great," Derek Fisher said. ''If it's based on how he looks today, he's ready." Bryant ended practice by shooting free throws on the side, while Bynum joined the rest of the team for sprints. "I feel pretty good. It was good to get up and down," Bryant Said.

The injury bug extends to just about every player on the roster. Reserve , center OJ Mbenga got elbowed in the head and was sent to a specialist to check on a possible concussion. Ron Artest has been playing with a bruised left heel and a sprained left thumb. while Shannon Brown is playing with a sprained right thumb and Sasha Vujacic has a sprained right shoulder. Luke Walton just returned after missing nearly a month with a pinched nerve in his back. Jordan Farmar pulled a hamstring and sat out most of the regular-season finale. ''They're the defending champs, they have a team that is built to win now and for a few years from now," Brooks said. "They're still going to be a very good team.'' Yet, Jackson rejects the popular perception that the Lakers simply flip a switch when it's time to play well. "Intensity can grow a little bit, but I'm not a believer in turning the switch on," he said. ''That's what we've been harping about for the last three weeks. getting it together. They know they have to play and it's not just an instantaneous thing they're going to be able to do." In case his teammates needed reminding.

Bulls get last playoff spot, Texas rematch set BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS The Chicago Bulls are headed to the playoffs. The San Antonio Spurs are headed right back to Dallas. The last night of the NBA season gave Kevin Durant his first scoring title. and finally sorted out the Western Conference postseason race. The Bulls secured the aining playoff spot, beatg Charlotte 98-89 Wednesday to set up a firstround series against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Chicago finished a game ahead of Toronto, which owned the tiebreaker and would have advanced if the Bulls lost. Chicaso won its final three games. 1gnoring the distractions created Tuesday when a Yahoo! Sports report surfaced that coach Vinny Del Negro and Bulls vice president of basketball operations John Paxson got into a physical altercation after a game last month "You know what I love about this team?" Chicago's Joakim Noah said. "I feel that even when times were hard, we went on a 10-game losing streak, I feel like we never let down. We always believed in each other. To be this position right now is a feeling, and I feel it's ly deserving." The Mavericks' 96-89 victory over the Spurs gave Dallas the No. 2 seed and dropped San Antonio to seventh, so the Texas rivals will meet in the postseason for the second straight year. The Mavs knocked off the Spurs last season. San Antonio showed no fear of a third matchup in five years. resting Tim J Duncan and Manu Ginobili on Wednesday. "If they're looking for us,'' Dallas center Brendan Haywood said. •·they'll see us this weekend." two playoff Only matchups. one in each conference, had been determined entering the fmal night of the regular season. The East was settled after victories by Chicago and Miami, while the West went even longer. Phoenix earned the No. 3 spot with its I00-86 victory in Utah. That gave the No.4 seed and the Northwest Division title to Denver, with the Jazz falling to fifth. The Suns went 23-6 after the All-Star break and will face the sixth-seeded Portland Trail Blazers. "It was a great way to finish the regular season - for a team that was picked by many to be on the outside looking into the playoffs or at the bottom of the playoff list,'' Suns guard Steve Nash said. "To finish third in the West is rewardin~. And most importantly we re playing well and heading into the playoffs fairly good." Miami claimed the East's No. 5 seed with a 94-86 double-overtime victory over New Jersey and will oppose the Boston Celtics. Though they've played poorly in the second half of the season, the Celtics insist they are ready because their Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen is healthy. "This is the healthiest we've been.'' coach Doc Rivers said. "I think this is the best Kevin's been since early in the season. I think Paul is feeling fantastic right now." Milwaukee is the sixth seed and plays No.3 Atlanta. The Hawks hung around the locker room after their 99-83 victory over Cleveland to watch the end of Miami's win. If the Heat lost. Atlanta would have played Miami for the second straight year. "Yeah, we were paying attention." center Al Horford said. Did it matter who you played? ''Not rea II). But now we have to start focusing on Milwaukee." The only West series that was already finalized before Wednesday was the topseeded and defending champion Los Angeles Lakers facing playoff newcomer Oklahoma City and Durant, who at 2 I years old became the league's youngest scoring champion. "It's going to be cool to go home and my friends say. 'You were the scoring champ at 21 years old.' That's a blessing," Durant said. "It's something I can't take for granted "and I've just got to continue to work from here.'' The playoffs begin Saturday with the Bulls visiting the Cavaliers. who might be a little rusty after James sat the final four games and chose not to bring Shaquille O'Neal back from a thumb injury before the end of the regular season. The Atlanta-Milwaukee and Boston-Miami series also begin Saturday, as does Utah-Denver - after some late-night rescheduling. That series was originally slated to open Sunday. but the NHL's Colorado Avalanche are scheduled for a home game that night. so the PhoenixPortland series took the Sunday night slot instead.

Wednesday. Bulls eyeing upset of Cavaliers: INDEPENDENCE. Ohio (AP) - They pushed the Boston Celtics to the edge last season. This year, they want to shove the Cleveland Cavaliers over it. The Chicago Bulls didn't fight their way into the NBA playoffs to be somebody's punching bag. This underdog doesn't plan to roll over and play dead. "You don't go into the series thinking you're going to lose," Bulls center Joakim Noah said. The gangly and gifted Noah has spent the past few days trying to convince anyone willing to listen that the ~ight-s~eded Bulls intend to "try and shock the world" and eliminate LeBron James and the heavily favored Cavs. who won 61 games during the regular season before shifting into neutral and dropping thtir final four to rest for a postseason they hope ends with a title. Noah. who earlier this season took exception to James' on-court dance moves during a game in Cleveland. rejects the idea that the Bulls can't hang with the top-seeded Cavs. who will host Game 1 on Saturday at Quicken Loans Arena and Game 2 on Monday. "To me, seeding doesn't mean anything:• Noah said ... At the end of the day, it's yours against mine. That's the way we view it. I think it's going to be a good challenge." While March was especially ripe \'.ith madness this year in an NCAA tour_nament speckled with upsets from beginning to almost the bitter end, the NBA's postseason rarely offers· one of those honeywake-the-neighbors shockers that rock the basketball universe. Since the league changed its playoff format in 1984. there have only been three times when a No. 8 knocked off a No. 1 seed, and the only time it happened in the Eastern Conference was when Miami stunned New York in a five-game series in 1999. The only time a No. 8 has toppled a No. 1 in seven games was when Golden State shocked Dallas in 2007. In last year's opening round. the Bulls took advantage of Boston's Kevin Garnett being out with a knee injury. and took the defending champion Celtics to a Game 7 before losing. With the Cavs getting back Shaquille O.'NeaL Chicago's odds are just as long this time. But coach Vinny Del Negro. who~e future with the club appears damned. is ignoring the dire predictions for his team. ·'That's why 1 don·t listen to anybody. You never know what's going to happen in a series," he said. "Obviously. Cleveland's had a great year. They have LeBron. But other than LeBron. they have a lot of really skilled players. They're deep. They're big. Shaq coming back causes more problems. obviously. We know what Mo Williams is capable of doing. "There's no question it's a huge task. but that's what makes it great." The Bulls won the first meeting between the clubs. 86-85 on Nov. 5. The Cavaliers took the next two before Chicago beat Cleveland I 09- t'b8 on April 8. when James sat out the first of four straight games to end the season. In Derrick Rose. Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng, the Bulls have skilled scorers able to stay wtth James and Co. Rose averag_ed just 17 points nearly 4 below his season average in three games against the Cavs. who will likely put 6-foot-6 Anthony Parker to try and contain Chicago's driving star. "He's going to get to the rim," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "He's talented, explosive. physically tough and mentally tough. We have to make him kick the ball outside and make their other guys beat us. They are capable because they have a lot good plaYers and they can make you pay.''

Sunday I completed my first (and possibly last) marathon race. If you are an accomplished runner and veteran of many 26.2mile runs. this column isn't for you. but for me it was sort of a big deal. My road to the Athens Marathon was a long one. far longer than the 30minute drive to Athens. and it took many months 1 of training to accomplish. I am not a "natural-born" runner: it does not come easily to me and every mile I put into training comes with an effort. For years. as a member of the Army Reserves. my running goal was merely to complete the two-mile-run portion of the Army Physical Fitness Test within the allotted amount of t1me. The course started "uptown" at the corner of Court Street and Union Avenue, but then largely followed the Hocking Adena Bikeway from Athens almost to Nelsonville and back, ending at Pruitt Field on the Ohio University campus. I have learned over the years there is much natural beauty· to be found if you but open your eyes to it. even during the midst of something as demanding as a marathon. Southeastern Ohio is very beautiful at this time of year as the wobds and hills awaken from their winter sleep, and Saturday was nearly perfect: sunny. not too hot or cold. just about right. After leaving Athens. the bikeway is surrounded by hills. farms. wetlands and riparian forests along the Hocking River and remnants of the Hocking Canal: very scenic and peacefuL almost flat, a perfect place to run. As the miles passed. I observed many spring wildflowers growing on the hillsides and along the path: toadshade trillium. giant trillium, bluebells. larkspur. and phlox and of course violets and dandelions and other flowers I couldn't identify right along the course. Running is 90 percent mental and I 0 percent physical. I have been told. and I believe it. I spent about 90 percent of the time browbeating my body into continuing to run a long. long time after my legs decided to say heck with the entire ordeal. The first 13 .I miles pass fair1y easily; it is the second half of the run where the mind must overcome matter. Distance-wise. a marathon is like running from Pomeroy to Little Hocking. but to think of the distance in that manner would be a recipe for failure. so you ha\e to break it do\Nn, mentally, into manageable chunks.

But now I feel ... so much more comfortable .. , This is the start of year three in the learning curve for Pryor, once the most ght-after high school rterback recruit in the ntry. With an experienced offense around him and a lot of hopes riding on his shoulders, he said he no longer has anything to prove to those who said he would be better suited to play receiver. • Pryor completed 61 percent of his passes for 12 touchdowns and 4 interceptions as a freshman, but seldom was asked to make a throw with a game on the line. And he almost never ;threw the ball farther than •10 or 15 yards.' Last season. Pryor was · brilliant at times and at others looked like a work in progress. His pass-efficiency rating fell from 146.50 as ,a freshman to 128.91. and 'his completion rate•dropped to 57 percent.

Then came the team's trip to Rose Bowl. And somestrange happened. TetTelle Pryor tossed 38 passes. the most all year. Both Buckeyes touchdowns came on passes and, for the first time, Ohio State looked as if it had embraced a pass-first-and-ask-questionslater offense. Midway through workouts this spring, the fans- and ,for that matter, the Buckeyes themselves - are wondering about the 20 I0 plan of attack. ''It's nice to not only get that (passing game) but also get a win - and to bring that into spring ball," wide receiver Dane~ Sanzenbacher said. "It brings a whole new pep to everybody's step. As far as opening up the offense. you get that question a lot. I don't know any more than you guys know. But I think being able to be successful at something like that will give the coaches confidence." Maybe it was faith in the wth of the mercurial Pryor. • the offensive line had improved enou~h to let him throw more. Or 1t was the maturation of a young receiver corps. Or maybe it was just the matchups against Oregon that led to the air show in a 26-17 win over the Ducks in Pasadena, Calif. So, are the Buckeyes opening things up? ··r. don't know what that . means," assistant head coach Darrell Hazell, who also oversees the receivers, said with a laugh. "With older players you can run more things and those guys are all a year older. That gives you a chance to do that. But you're always going to do, as a coach, what you think is the best thing to win the football game, no matter what the fans are saying.'' One thing is for certain: The Buckeyes receivers and Pryor are feeling more confident and comfortable the more they . toge~er: ~nd the coachstaff ts g~vmg them more • way because of that. "I definitely feel that they're giving us a lot more ability to make our own (plays).'' said DeVier Posey. who led the Buckeyes with 60 catches for 828 yards and 8 TDs a year ago. "That comes with losing your youth and getting older and (the coaches) being able ,.,..._ Kyle Robertson/Columbus Dlspatch/MCT Ohio State's Dane Sanzenbacher tries to come down with a catch against Oregon's John Boyett in the second quarter of the Rose Bowl. Ohio State defeated Oregon, 26-17, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. California, Friday, January 1. to trust you. This is all a trust factor, the coaches trusting you to get your job done." Matchup advantages had to have plaxed a role in the Rose Bowl. Pryor attempted 17 pa<>ses in each of the last three regular season games. completing a combined 3 I passes for 285 yards. Against Oregon, he was 23 of 37 for 266 yards. Asked if he sits at home hoping that the coaching staff wants to continue to throw that much, San:zenbacher flashed a wide grin and joked, "Every night.'' Ohio State is toying with the idea of throwing more to backs and tight ends. However, this isn't the first time the coaches have suggested that. In the past, though. they've changed their minds once they get caught up in the heat of battle. But this spring they like the idea of getting co-tailbacks Brandon Saine and Dan Herron on the field together. They also like the speed and size (6-foot-5, 245) of tight end Jake Stoneburner. Still. the key is the wide receivers, one in particular. With a year of experience as a statter under his belt, Posey believes he'll be called upon more and more. "It's weird that I'm grO\ving up." said Posey, a junior. ''(I was) a talented youngster; I'm expected to be a seasoned veteran now. It's crazy how your role just flips within a winter.'' Hazen believes Posey could explode as a player, if he continues to mature. harnesses his abilities and grows into a leadership role. "Right now he's his biggest enemy because he looks for perfection in everything he does," Hazell said. "So when he makes a mistake. it kind of looms on him for a while. He has to learn to get over that, because he's going to make a mistake." For a coach who has seen Brian Robiskie, Ted Ginn Jr.. Santonio Holmes and Michael Jenkins come through Ohio State in his seven years at Ohio State, Hazell has high hopes for Posey. who's reception provided the clinching touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Rose Bowl. Head coach Jim Tressel said the Rose Bowl win, and the month of practices leading up to it. had a profound effect on Pryor's progress. ''Anytime you end well, it certainly helps," he 'said. ''I think he learned a lot in '09. I think he learned a lot in that bowl preparation. Then. obviously he got to experience a fun moment there at the bowl. And the natural maturation. we·ve talked a lot about, it's hard to believe but more than half of (his) career's done." The past two years have certainly seasoned Pryor. "He's definitely matured as a thrower, as a quarterback. as a leader," said Darrell Hazell, Ohio State's assistant head coach in charge of wide receivers. "He's matured in a lot of different ways. It's exciting. It really is.". His attention to detail has grown on the field. ''You'll come off the field and instead of talking about the routes he' 11 say. 'I was trymg to hit you on the back shoulder so you could just run away from the defender,"' wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said. "He's noticing little things like that. It just shows how much more comfortable and confident he is in the pocket." His teammates acknowledge him as the face of the team. He is swarmed by media every time he is made available. Considered one of the top few candidates for the Heisman this fall, he is a rock star on his football-mad campus. Even Tressel has gotten caught up in the hype. Early last season - barely a dozen games into Pryor's college career - he said of his pri:zed pupil, "There's probably not a more compassionate human being in the world than Terrelle." Tressel maintains that Pryor has held on to his mistakes too long. A former college quarterback himself, and also a former assistant coach of quarterbacks, Tressel would prefer that Pryor have an extremely short memory when it comes to things gone wrong. "He's never going to stop being a tremendous competitor. I don't want him to," Tressel said. "But also. if he's going to throw I ,000 balls, there are going to be a few of them that are going to be incomplete. And we've got to take those in stride.'' His reach for perfection is evident to his teammates. "No one's a harder critic of himself than Terrelle.'' said his favorite receiver, De Vier Posey. ·'He gets mad at himself when he doesn't make great throws. He wants to be great.'' Pryor said he has never been better prepared, for a college season or what comes next. "We run a professional offense," he said. "If it was time for me to go (to the NFL). whenever it is time for me to go, -I'll be ready. I do the same thing other quarterbacks do in the NFL, drop-wise and stuff like that.'' He's also prepared for what lies ahead for his team. "We're going to be maybe No. 2 in the country," he said of preseason predictions that put the Buckeyes right behind defending champion Alabama. "The expectations are always high on Ohio State. We've got I00 bull's-eyes on our back. We have to stand up to it and face (it)." • Page Bs Police ties to Roethlisberger still in question PITTSBURGH (AP) A state trooper with Ben Roethlisberger the night he was accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student in a Georgia nightclub is subject to the agency's code of conduct regardless of whether he was working for the Steelers quarterback, state police said. An ongoing inter-nal investigation will determine whether Trooper Ed Joyner did anything "that could reasonably be expected to destroy public respect for the Pennsylvania State Police or confidence in the state police," said Lt. Myra Taylor. a state police spokeswoman. A friend of the accuser said in a statement to police that a "bodyguard" refused to acknowledge that the woman, who had been drinking, was alone with Roethlisberger in the back of a nightclub in Milledgeville, Ga. Ann Marie Lubatti told pol ice on March 5 that she told the bodyguard, "This isn't right. My friend is back there with Ben. She needs to come , back right now.'' Lubatti said the bodyguard wouldn't look her in the eye and said he didn't know what she was talking about. Georgia investigators later identified that man as Joyner. Taylor said Joyner had permission from the state police to work off-duty for Roethlisberger since 2005, with his duties including -answering phones and fan mail, driving and accompanying the quarterback to charitable events. Joyner's request to work for Roethlisberger does not include the term "bodyguard" nor is there any ref- ercnce made to personal said he was ''absolutely protection or similar not" employed as duties.

He only takes up one scholarship, yet may end up holding down two' jobs. " I enjoy being on the field," said the third-year sophomore from suburban Columbus. ''The more 1 can be on the field the more I can contribute to the team. I'm willing to do both if I'm allowed to, but if they want me to specialize in just one r m willing to do that too." Buchanan has had a strong spring and is almost a lock to take over for the graduated Jon Thoma a:-. punter for the Buckeyes, who are about two-thtrds of the way through their 15 spring workouts. He's also in the thick of the battle for the place-kicking job with Devin Barclay. It was Barclay who stepped in a year ago when Aaron P~ttrey sustained a knee injury late in the season. All Barclay did was kick the game-winner in overtime a~ainst Iowa to clinch the Btg Ten title, then boot three more field goals to provide the winning margin in a 26-17 win over Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Barclay; who finished last year 7 of I 0 on field goals and also handled the kickoffs. is the latest in a long line of elder-statesman kickers for the Buckeyes. A former pro soccer player, he turned 27 last week. But in the team kick scrimmage on Saturday in Ohio Stadium. he hit just 8 of 15 field-goal attempts. "It was just a bad day," the senior from Annapolis, Md., said. "Sometimes you go out there and hit some great balls and other times you have a rough day. Today was not one of my best days." It was Buchanan who converted the winning kick in the scrimmage, a 39-yarder that gave the Gray a 27-24 victory.. "It's awesome. That's something you dream about as a kid," he said. "I've been coming to games here (at Ohio Stadium) since I was 5 years old and looking .up at that stadium." Buchanan's a!:>ility to do more than one job is a big benefit. "Last year in camp I started on both field goals and punts and then I moved to (just) punts after camp, working with Jon," he satd. "Then I started kicking again, so I've just been going back and forth. They think I'm versatile, so I'm excited for thi<; 'year because r definitely think I can contribute." Barclay said he had a sr injury duting the winter hasn't had as much time get used to a new holder, receiver Dane Sanzenbacher. Adding to Ohio State's depth at kicker is true freshman Drew Basil. Two weeks removed from his high school in Chillicothe, Ohio, Basil converted a 47-yarder during the kick scrimmage. He's one of only two Buckeyes freshmen who enrolled early so they could participate in spring workouts. The Buckeyes had six incoming freshmen report for spJing quarter in 2008, seven in 2009. The only other firstyear player already on campus is running back Carlos Hyde, and he was originally part of the 2009 recruiting class but spent last fall at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy to improve his grades.

We have tried tor the tt~hmg - alco~ol, peroxtde. sprays.lotions. nail polish and cream from the doctor. Th1s has been gomg on for about four months, and they seem to be spreading. What can be done? Answer: First, I'll describe what chiggers are and why they cause itching. Then I'll tell you how to prevent and treat them. You and you doctor can decide if you really have chigger bites. Chiggers are microscopic insects in the mite family. They are arachnids and are closely related to ticks. It is the lar~al form of the mite that bite:-.. Interestingly, after th~y feast _on humans and other antmals. they mature and eat only the eggs of cer· tam other msects. ~higgers do ~ot burro~· under the skin. as is commonly believed. Instead. when ch1~ger lan:ae ~1te. they msert_a mouth_ part that injects saliva into a,skin pore or hair ~olhcle. Th1s dtssolves the sk1~1 cells It contacts into a liquid that the chigger can m~est. After ~ few hours, the t_Jssues sUITounding the withdrawn liquid harden, ere· atmg a tube~hke structu~e. Thts s_tr~cture, called a stylostome, acts like a drinking ~tr~w.• allowmg more sahva to be mjected, and more liquefied skin to be withdrawn. fht~ ts what creates the appearance of burrO\ving. . It _is the sty1ostom_e that causes the itching and characteristic red welt to form. The ttchmess can be qmte !)evere and usual1y -peaks about two days after the bite. The stylostome is destroyed by your body in about 10 days. Chiggers are found in ~rassy places. and in thick brush. They are most active when the ground temperature ts between 77 and 86 degrees and become inactive below 60 degrees. · Prevent~on is the best. way to m~nage chiggers. We~r clo~hes that prevent chiggers from m~k1~g contact with your skm. Long-sleeved shirts. tightly woven socks. pants tucked. mstde of boot _tops, and. butt_oned cuffs \Vii~ all redu~e chigger bites. Most mosqmto repellant:" wt_l~ fend off chiggers_. too, so tt's go?d tde<t to use these products when you go mto ftelds or woods or tf you plan to Sit on the grass. Remember to reapply it every fe" hours since repellants only last a few hours. After you re_turn from any potential exposure. a hot bath with lots of soap will wash many chiggers off before they have a chance to bite. If you have been bitten. ~)\'e:-the-counter creams with benzocaine or camphor·phenol can help reduce the ItChing. It's also a good idea to wash clothes that are potentially chigger-infested in hot, soapy wate~. Unlaundered clothes or clothes washed in cool water will allow chig· gers to survtve. Unless_you k_eep.getting re-i~fested with ~higgers. it seems unlikely to me that you would still be ttchmg from chtggers after tour months. You and your husband need to see your physician for a reevaluation of your rashes. What you have may not be chiggers at all. (Family Medicine® is a weekly column.

The students m the competition presented their projects before judges. and then an~wered questions about their work. They were also able to watch other presentations and learn about the many different projects at History Day. The event always attracts parents and community members who also enjoy seeing the work that the students do. An awards ceremony is held in the afternoon at each History Day com~tition, and State· Representative Clyde Evans spoke during this year's ceremony. Evans told the students that they are all winners because they took on the. chall~nge of researching their prOJects and preparing for the competition. Rio Grande Community College also presented a scholarship to one of the students duiing the awards ceremony. Three local teachers. Vicky Bryant, Cheryl DeWitt and Patricia Stout from River Valley Middle School were also given the Teacher of Meiit Award for their work with their students for the contest. Several local individua.ls and organizations donated to make History Day a sue· cess this year, and the organizers are thankful to evety· one who helped out. The students who advanced to the state competition will now take part in the Ohio History Day contest on Saturday. April 24 in Columbus. The winners from that competition will have the opportunity to take part in the national competition. Rio Grande faculty mem· bers Ellen Br<lliel and Scott Beekman. who both teach history at Rio Grande, served as the coordinators for the Histot}' Day competition at Rio Grande this year. Brasel enjoys the competition because it allows her to see the outstanding work that area ' students can do. The competition also gives the students the oppOitunity to visit Rio Grande's can1pus and learn more about the college. She encourages more students from around the region to take part in the 2011 History Day competition. and she also encourages students who ar·e considering studying history in collecre to look into the educational opportunities available at Rio Grande.

But how do you write guidelines to cover technology that is constantly changing? And how do you recommend that what is now a billion-dollar industry be scaled back. if that's determined to be best for child development? Technology has come to occupy a central role in children's lives so quickly that its impact has barely been studied.

Bullies are oftel} star athletes or popular girls considered charismatic leaders by peers and adults, experts say. What's often missed or passed over as minor is a consistent pattern of control and aggression against other kids - behavior that socially savvy bullies can sometimes slide under the radar of grown-ups. "It's not what we typically think of. It's not always the kid who's pushing kids down on the playground," says Rosalind Wiseman. who wrote "Queen Bees and Wannabes," the basis for the movie "Mean Girls." "It's children who feel like they're the Jaw of their school. that they have the right to set the law and if you challenge their power, like hooking up with the wrong boy, they have the right to put you in your place." Massachusetts high school freshman Phoebe Prince, a recent Irish immigrant. endured months of taunts and threats after she briefly ·dated a popular boy, prosecutors say. The IS-yearold hanged herself at home Jan. 14 and six of her classmates face charges. Though Phoebe reached out to her parents and school officials in South Hadley, studies indicate that up to half of bullied children don't report it. If they do, parents of perpetrators may not agree that the behavior of their kids rises to the level of bullying. "If they face the reality that there's something wrong with their children, then there's something wrong with them and their abilities as parents, so a lot of parents don't want to face it," says Erika Holiday. a Los Angeles psychologist who co-wrote "Mean Girls, Meaner Women.'' The "Stop Bullying Now" campaign of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines bullying as aggressive. intentional behavior that involves an imbalance of power or strength and is typically repeated over time. While it can be physical, it's often verbal. social or via cyberspace, driven by kids" easy access at increasingly younger ages to social networks. text messaging and e-mail. Parents may be so pleased that their kids are on top socially that they fail to stress an important component of the role: power comes with "responsibility to treat others with dignity," Wiseman says. "This really goes to how we function as a civilized society and what our responsibility is to each other." she says. ''Parents say my kid's a good kid. he couldn't possibly get into this situation. He's a good athlete, he's well-liked. but now he's being suspended for the third time for some racial or hazing incident." Wiseman says teachers and school officials must wo.-k in concert with parents. something that often doesn't happen. Without such partnerships.

(AP) Fumiture companies are raising prices despite fears that higher costs could kill off a rebound just as rece~sion­ shocked shoppers appear willing to spend. Fumiture makers are blaming higher labor and material costs for producing in Asia as well as trans-Pacific shipping fees. Industry insiders expect more news of price hikes after buyers and producers gather in High Point for the world's biggest fumiture trade fair beginning Saturday. ·Tm aware of a lot of manufacturers that are considering price increases in this upcoming April market. They will announce a price increase and they will see if their major retailers are willing to take it. and if not they'll back off;' said Bob George, president of Atlanta-based Impact Consulting Services Inc., which advises furniture manufacturers <md retailers. One big factor driving furniture prices is the rising cost of shipping from Asia to the United States. Last month. the Federal Maritime Commission, whose mission includes protecting U.S. mruitime commerce from unfair foreign trade practices, started investigating whether a surge in ~hipping fees could strangle the budding U.S. economic recovery. The average price of shipping a standard 40-foot container from Hong Kong to Los Angeles. for example, jumped 61 percent in the first week of April compared with the same time last year. according to data from London-based Drewry Shipping Consultants. " Another culprit is that more than two-thirds of the wood pieces sold in the U.S. are h1ade abroad. and rising living standards in .China and Vietnam are bidding up factoiy wages, said Rob Sligh. chairman of Sligh Fumiture. • Those rising costs led the Michigan company to raise prices by an average of 2 percent this week. he said. Fumiture retailers are expected to pass along much of the manufacturers' price increases to customers rather than absorb them. Retailers saw their revenues drop nearly 10 percent last year. according to IBIS World Inc. Higher pric~s could curb the f urniturc shopping plans of Robby King. v.·ho is moving with his partner into a duplex in midtown Atlanta at the end of the month. "I really look around before 1 buy. I don't have the discretionary income that I wish I had, so there won't be a lot of impulse buying," said King, 32. an administrative assistant for a commercial real estate brokerage.

This draws the eye to the central glow. • Use lighting that emits a soft. warm giO\v. such as GE Energy Smart and Soft White bulbs. • Incorporate lamps for reading. A reading lamp should be tall enough to shine onto the pages of the book. but not into the reader's eyes. A floor lamp positioned behind the reader is ideal. • Torchieres and wall sconces create a warm glow in living rooms and other spaces. A w could deal with." But some companies believe they can't wait any longer to pass along price hikes and are looking hopefully at signs that consumers are tired of waiting to redecorate. After three years of declines, sales at furniture and home furnishings stores last month climbed 1.5 percent over February and by 4.2 percent from March 2009, the Commerce Department reported. Producers including Ashley Furnit4re Industries. Sligh Furniture Co.. and Portico Chair Co. are pushing ahead with price hikes matching or topping the inflation rate of at least 2 percent. Fumiture prices have almost universally stayed static or dropped since the recession began in December 2007 as the industry struggled to stay competitive. Charlotte-based Portico Chair just raised the price of its wooden rockers, made from domestic lumber with some parts imported from Indonesia, President Grady Peterson said. A replica of one chair President John F. Kennedy used in the White House now costs $225 after 14 years at $199, he said. "We tried to hold (the price) as long as we can, especially during the recession," he said. In the past month, at least four other companies importing Asian-made items from dressers to dining tables have raised prices by 5 percent to 10 percent, said Dave Zirnhelt. chief executive of Wholesale Furniture Brokers. a Kamloops, British Columbia-based distiibutor. "On a retail level. you don't want to raise prices because it's tough to convince a buyer that what they're getting today is worth it when they paid less yesterday," Zirnhelt said. On the other hand, furniture producers have "got to raise the price at some time or you're digging yourself into a hole." Bedding ' prices also could be headed higher. The U.S. economic recovery should be strong enough to support price increases of about 3 percent this year and 3.5 percent next year, according to a market study for the International Sleep Products Association. But the benchmark on pricing others are wat~hing was laid down _by Ashley Fumiture Industries, which is both the largest producer of furniture sold in the United States and the country's largest · furniture retailer. atcording to industry publication Furniture Today. Ashley executives declined to give a figure. but CEO Todd Wanek responded with an e-mail describing rising costs for container ships crossing the Pacitic. Tom Medford, who owns Ashley Fumiture Homestores in western North Carolina that has an exclusive license to sell Ashley's line. is waiting for the new price tags. "We've just been notified the increase is coming," · he said, "but we haven't been told how much.'' When it comes to decorating and design. there arc many ways to "make your house a home". Beginning with the basics such as flooring and paint colors and moving on to window treatments, furniture, and accessories, there are more possibilities than anyone can imagine. When all of these things are chosen and carefully placed in your home, I still have one question for you: If your walls could talk. what would they say? Would they say nothing 'at all, because you have neglected to hang anything on them? Would they be screaming ''HELP!" Get me down from here! Everything in this room is hanging too high!!!" Or would they be saying "These are my children from the first grade through graduation and these are the grandchildren and the great grandchildren ... " Don't get roe wrong, I love family photos. and I'll talk more about them as we continue, but my point is this, what goes on your walls can make the largest impact on a room than just about anything else you do. So, let's see if we can make your walls speak the language that you want to hear ... I know you hear a lot about the focal point of a room. Every room generally has one or two strong focal points. This is the place in a room that draws your eye and rests there. (Too many focal points can leave you feeling like you don't know where to land.) It can be an architectural design. a particular piece of furniture, a beautiful view outside a window or even the window itself, but it can sometimes be a spectacular picture, painting, mirror, or even a clock that is hanging on the wall. Choose carefully and consider if the artwork you choose will be a focal point or one of several accents in the room. If it is indeed, the most important spot in the room. then it must be stunning. If it will be an accent piece, then it needs to blend and have a relationship in the room's mix. A common color in a picture that pulls in the other colors in the room, or a mirror with a frame that compliments the furniture would be a way to make these items work. I believe that SWTOUnding yourself with pictures and wall decor that you truly love will make you feel Carla ==- . much more relaxed and happy with your space. I know that for me personally, choosing pieces that I love has been one of the best ways to make my home reflect who I am. And it is always the artwork that gets the most comments from visitors. Each piece I have chosen based on the way it made me feel when I looked at it. You will most Jik.eiY, not go wrong if you make your decisions based on your intuition about a piece. Whether it is a picture or a mirror, a clock or a wreath, you· will want to make sure that it is hung strategically. Not too high and not too low and in relationship with the surrounding pieces. Above the sofa by six inches or so, not way overt. sofa so that it looks tota disconnected. Also consider the height of the lamps on either side of it all. Stand back and look at the proportion. It should create connection. Groupings of pictures should not be random. If you use three or four pictures together they should feel like one when you look at it. not too much space between. And by all means, make sure that they are hanging straight. Crooked just makes you feel out of sorts to look at it! And that really defeats the purpose of making you feel relaxed and comfortable. Oh. and about those grand babies· pictures, put them in a collection of frames on end tables and sofa tables and in a coffee table photo album. Share them with everyone. Don't ever let anyone tell you that family photos are not app~ · priate decor because th are the things that REALL make a house a home.

Grown Goodness Tips for growing herbs and veggies at home (Family Feature&) All over the country. people are taking the time to enjoy the simple pleasures of growing their own vegetables and herbs. From small container gardens and raised beds, to community-based home farms where people grow food with neighbors. the idea of home-grown goodness has taken root. In fact, a recent survey from Triscuitl found that more 60 percent of than Americans say they are interested in growing fruits, vegetables, and/or herbs in a backyard garden and 44 percent have grown some of their own food in the past year. If you haven't started digging in to the trend, it's not too late. "The Gardener Guy,'' Paul James, has teamed up with Triscuit to "Home celebrate the Farming•· movement. which encourages the simple joy of growing fresh herbs and vegetables on home fam1s and community-based home farms. James has shared some helpful tips to get you started. Home Farming 101 - How-to's for beginners • Where to plant Vegetables and herbs can be grown in practically any container, which should have a hole in the bottom so it can drain. • Nourish your garden Make sure plants get a1: least five to six hours of sun a day and feed them every couple of weeks with a balanced fertilizer. • Water, water, water Water plants every few days and increase to every day in the summer. Saturate the top half inch of soil so seeds can absorb moisture to germinate. • Give them space - All plants need sufficient room to get an adequate supply of water and nutrients. Be sure to read spacing requirements on the back of seed packets or plant tags before planting. James says. "The number one rule is to start small. Whether it is growing herbs on your windowsill or vegetables in your backyard. anyone can start a home farm. As you gain confidence and knowledge you can always expand." Green Thumb Academy - Helpful Jips for the advanced home farmer • Secret is in the soil Good soil can help plants grow. A great recipe for container plants is to mix 75 percent sterilized potting mix with 25 percent bagged compost. Mushroom compost is ideal. • Organic matter matters Organic matter can improve soil, and includes compost. leaves, grass clippings, hay and straw. At least once a year, add organic matter to the top six inches of soil. • Block party - When you plant in blocks, there are no paths between plants for weeds to grow, or wasted space. If you don't have space for your own home farm. consider volunteering at a community-based home farm. Triscuit and the nonprofit organization Urban Farming are collaborating to create 50 communitybased home farms in cities across the country in 2010. For more tips from Paul James, tools for starting your own home farm, and details about communitybased home farms across the cquntry where you can volunteer, visit www.triscuit.com/homefarming. (AP) - Selling a home can be sad and stressful for gardeners leaving bebind members of their extended plant family. Many are living memories. Maybe it's the iris bulbs that bloom~d in your m.other's garden, or the,low-slung trees your kids used to chmb . Jt could be the shrubs marking the place where family pets lie buried, or some lovingly te, ed roses climbing an entry. · So why not bring them along? Two reasons: It might no be practical - perhaps they're simply too large - and doing so might void the sales contract. "Property listings and purchase agreements specifically reference such landscape fixtures as trees, plants, bulbs and shrubs," said Ron Phipps. president-elect of the National Association of Realtors. "Many people don't read the fine print but it's in there. There are few parts of the country where those provisions don't apply.'' Phipps, a real estate agent from Warwick. RL suggests that home sellers disclose any plants or cuttings they intend to take with them. "Failing to do that probably won't invalidate the deal, but you don't want to be in a situation where the buyer takes you to small claims court because you didn ·t go along with its terms." Phipps said. "When in doubt. spell it out. List them as you would a dining room fixture or window treatments:· Many growing things don't react well to new locations . That goes for plants with extensive root systems, plants unable to cope with different hardiness zones or plants on official not-wanted lists. Agricultural states often restrict certain plants, fearing the introduction of invasive, insectridden or diseased species into native stocks. So what are grieving gardeners to do? They might try: • Negotiating trades. "I once represented a couple who had been given a tree as an anniversary gift," Phipps said. "It was a small tree but it was important to them. We brought in a new tree to replace it. We negotiated the sw. as an exception to the (sales) agreement." • Providing a detailed user's manual. Diagrams. photographs and step-by-step instructions can greatly help new owners care for an unfamiliar garden, said Mark Glenn. a self-described "Hosta-holic" and an agent with Coldwell Banker Burnet in Minneapolis. "For a short time, at least.'' • Taking cuttings from favorite plants. This is not foolproof, but it can produce clones. • Helping with the changeover. "I knew a woman who had to sell her house because of a divorce." Phipps said. The garden "had been her canvas and it broke her heart to move. She gained permission from the new owners to come back and visit, and often she did. She also did some transitional work with them for a few years.'' • Taking containerized plants or yard art when they move. "In our area, the custom is potted plants can be removed because they're portable," Phipps said. "If they're in the ground, they're treated differently." • Keeping a photographic record. "Take the best photos you can, covering as much of your garden as possible, to remember what a wonderful part of your life it has been." said Wanda Teays, chair of the Philosophy Department at Mount St. Mary's Co11ege in Los Angeles. "Then move on. Don't drive back every week or month or year to see what's changed. You'll never be happy."' Watchword of today' s landscaping: Easy does it (AP) - Ditch the grass. Plant food. Go green. The trends in landscaping and gardening this summer are all toward a more relaxed environment, experts say. "The rewards of growing your own - basil. berries or flowers - are boundless,'' says Susan McCoy. trend spotter for the Garden Media Group. an industry marketing firm in Kennett Square, Pa. She says people are looking increasingly to their plots of green. little or large, to recharge, and reap the benefits both aesthetic and, often. edible. Some of what's in: LOSING THE LAWN Lawns soak up water and cash. and !:>tress the enviiOnment by requiring pesticides, say today's green gardeners. Motorized lawn-maintenance equipment also adds to air and noise pollution. Giving up that expanse of grass may be difficult, but there are attractive, easy-care alternatives. Margie Grace, 2009 International the Landscape Designer of the Year. is on the forefront of 'the "de-lawning" movement. She urges homeowners to reduce or eliminate "a green pit of wasted time. money and space." ''Ditching the lawn doesn't mean you have to have a hippie yard," she says. ''A lawnfree garden can be incredibly elegant and upscale." And if you can't live witnout any lawn. try living with less, she says. of growing their own food. You don't need a big garden, either. Vegetables can be grown on balconies. even street parkways." Grace suggests mixing edible elements with ornamentals, as well as planting in containers to minimize bending and tilling. . To get started with a simple veggie garden, consider a tiered raised fran1e that comes with protective cover hoops. COMMUNITY GARDENS In Santa Barbara, Calif., Grace's neighbors set up a weekly table where they share produce ;md flowers. And many communities have excellent programs for cultivating common green space; for a small seasonal fee, residents rent a plot of a few hundred square feet.

Durie is excited about vertical gardens. an easy way for apartment dwellers to enjoy nature. "There are great wall systems available today, which mean gardens don't just have to be on the ground anymore," he says. "Walls, floors, roofs can all be greened." Lettuce is an easy crop for urban gardeners, as are strawbeJTies. tomatoes and beans. Mix in some colorful annuals.

San Francisco designer Johan Kahlstrom likes to create space among the plants for birds and even deer; meadow gardens with native wildflowers and tall grasses generally thrive in even poor soil, with no water required beyond rain. In the arid Southwest. especially, gardeners like containers - glazed terra cotta, resin. any nonporous material. Large pots with a greater soil volume dry out more slowly. Succ~lents and other lovers of dry heat are great choices. But containers are popular all over the country convenient to tend, they're easy on the back and require fewer tools. Among the most user-friendly: rolling self-watering pots. Many municipalities now have tough laws about residential drainage. Chris Cipriano, who owns an ecofriendly landscape design frrm in New Jersey, is a fan of the new pervious pavers. Not only do they manage stom1water runoff, they reduce erosion. Combined with a belowground water collection system, homeowners save both money and energy; the systems can be used for inigation, car washing and laundry. Grace likes creating a bios wale, or low-lying. shapely garden feature that will collect and redistribute rainwater. Even a balcony garden can benefit from a big raincollecting pot with spigot and hose. Work with what you have - heavy shade, hillsides and wet areas all can be landscaped with appropriate plants that won't fight their environment.
