JACKSON - As the clock winds dO\\ n on what has become a contentious Republican primary election campaign in the 17th State Senate District. some local GOP leaders are still calling for State Rep. David Daniels to be reprimanded for negative statements he has made in the campaign against State Rep. Clyde Evans. Daniels and Evans have each filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission regarding the content of mailings and I Eva ns Da niels statements made by each camp. The OEC issued findings on Monday. April 26 against each candidate, essentially stating that both have been guilty of negative campaigning. A hearing on the OEC's findings is nttna scheduled for Monday. the day before the primary election. Jim Milliken. chair of the Jackson County Republican Party, sent an e-mail on Friday morning to Diane (':arnes. chair of the Southern Ohio GOP Chairs Association, requesting a special meeting of the organization on Saturday, May 1 to further discuss the issue and take action. Milliken suggested in his email that the chairs convene in Jackson for the meeting. Carnes said Friday that she had sent emails to and left phone messages for the rest of the GOP chairs. According to Milliken, she received only four responses and sent him an e-mail that read in part, "Drop it, Jim." As a result, no meeting was held and Milliken said he was disappointed with the outcome, saying it "reeks of politics at its worst.'' In his e-mail to Carnes, Milliken wrote. ''In the absence of no meeting being called, I hereby make a motion that the Ohio Chairs Southern Association send a letter to Mr. Da\ id Daniels condemning the literature he has sent to voters Please see Race, Al ·y n §a[{!fJofis Gallia Co. grand jury indicts drug trafficking, robbery suspects B Y MICHELLE MILLER MOTNEWS@MYOAILYTRIBUNE.COM t Gallipolis In Bloom kicked off its 2010 campaign with Planting Day on Saturday.

So, you have your work cut out for you. And first you need to get a job. Also. acknowledging that your parents both have issues is healthy for you right now. . While you should chip in and help at home in some way, your parents may at least agree that you should use most of th~ money you. earn to stnve for some mdependence.

It is unfortunate that you nave a home life that is distressing, but the best thing you can do is become self-sufficient and well-educated.

Recently, I've been doing a little digging into our family genealogy online, and was astonished and a little appalled by what I found. Turns out my great-great-uncle was a murderer! Not only did he kill one person, he shot up a whole barroom of folks way back when. My dilemma is whether I should tell my kids about my discovery. I haven't even told my wife yet! - H.P.

Faculty member Scott Michal and students Caitlin Moffett and Cory Gilbert were honored recently as the first recipients of the Spirit of Rio Grande Award. Aaron Quinn, dean of students at Rio Grande. explained that the award was created this year in order to recognize students, faculty and staff who show caring and compassion in different ways across campus. Michal, Moffett and Gilbert were recognized for the way tht:y bt:lpt:u another individual on one winter day earlier in the semester. On one winter day, a woman walking near the Davis University Center fell and hurt herself, and Michal, Moffett and Gilbert stopped what they were doing and went over to her so and helped her. "She needed help." Michal said. The woman was bleeding and had hurt her head, and the three stopped to see what they could do to assist her. Michal said he did not think he did anything special. a~ he just did the right thing in checking to make sure the woman was ok and then trying to find someone to help her. Moffett called for help for the woman. and the three made sure the woman was all right until any medical help could arrive. Quinn said that while it might seem like a simple thing. Moffett. Gilbert and Michal were just passing by and could easil} have not stopped to help. Too often in society toda}, people don't stop to help people in need and don't go out of their way to look out for others. The Spirit of Rio Grande Award is designed to thank people like Moffett, Gilbert and .Michal for doing the right thing and helping others on campus, and Quinn said he was proud to present it to the three. The Rio Grande Bookstore helped to sponsor the award. Michal said he is ~ proud of the students for their work in helping the woman. and said it is indicative of the warm and caring envirOJiment on the Rio Grande campus. "In my experience, Rio Grande has proveh to be a ver) friendly place." Michal said. "It truly has a family atmosphere." Rio Grande has sm<J.ll, classes sizes and indi~ vidual attention for stq-' dents. and the faculty' and staff members get to know the student's and look out for them.. The Rio Grande family on campus also reache& out to community members who come to cam-. pus. and Michal said he. is proud to teach on the small. southern Ohio campus. ''There are some wonderful, wonderful students here,'' Michal' said. "I really enjoy getting to know the stu-· dents in my classes." · Rio Grande officials plan on continuing to' honor to students, faculty and staff when they take extra steps to show their caring and compassion in ways like this and show the Spirit of Rio Grande.

Th~ First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution YOUR OPINION An American tragedy Dear Editor, I have been wondering what is going to become of all the workers who have been laid off through no fault of their own. but. who have lost their unemployment benefits. Some families have been stlUggling on two unemployment incomes. and. are cut now to one. Others have lost their only income. . Who was there to bailout Wall Street. the banks and the auto companies? Who has been there to help our own through this recession in our count!)·) No jobs have been made ready for them. Some jobs may be eligible in the future but what do they do until then? How can these people survive with no income? And what about all those who paid into unemployment for years and years? My late father worked for the railroad for 43 years. His job was dependable. Today, not at all. These unemployed workers can draw food stamps to eat, but food stamps won "t pay the bills to keep a roof over their heads. We donate and help other countries when they suffer from tragedies. I'd call our unemployed workers in our country our main tragedy! Where is their help? . Come on America, we are going to have our ,own starving and more Jiving on the streets! It · looks like our country is going backwards instead of forward. Linda S. Bobo Middleport OUR VIEW Vote On May 4 we will once again engage in the bloodless revolution called an election. [t's a time 'Where we as Amencans are given the chance to determine the course our country, state, county, cit} or village will take and \vho will lead us.

Spending by consumers rose by the fastest pace in three years, the Commerce Department said Friday . That helped the economy grow at a 3.2 percent pace in the January-to-March quarter. It marked the third straight quarterly gain as the United States heals from the longest and deepest recession since the 1930s. Still, growth was weaker than in the fourth quarter of last year. when the economy grew at 5 .6 percent. The first-quarter's performance would normally be considered respectable in normal times. Yet coming out of the severe recession, more robust growth is needed to drive down high joblessness, stimulate wage increases and lift consumer spending. Economic growth would have to equal 5 percent for all of 2010 just to lower the average jobless rate for the year by l percentage point. In a Rose Garden statement, President Barack Obama said more jobs are still needed. but he called the quarterly report ''an important milepost on the road to recovery." Consumers managed to increase spending at a 3.6 percent pace in the first quarter. It was the strongest showing since early 2007 - before the economy tipped into a recession. That marked a big improvement from the fourth quarter, when consumer spending grew at a lackluster 1.6 percent pace. Shoppers spent more on home furnishings and household appliances. recreational goods and vehicles, clothing and at bars and restaurants. Looking ahead, analysts say consumers will be wary of stepping up spending much further. The unemployment rate is high at 9.7 percent and is expected to stay elevated in the months ahead. Sluggish income growth and a reluctance or inability to borrow could restrain shoppers' appetite to spejld. they say. "There are headwinds out there for consumers that probably will restrain gwwth going forward," said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. ''Are those headwinds going to dtsappear any time soon? My guess is no." Naroff predicts consumer spending will slow in the current April-to-June quarter to about a 2 percent pace. Another report out Frida~ highlighted one of those headwinds: low wage gains for workers. Wages and salaries. which make up 70 percent of employee compensation, actually slowed in the first quarter. They rose 0.4 percent. after a 0.5 percent gain in the fourth quarter of last year. Just 21 percent of Americans consider the economy in good condition, according to an Associated Press-GfK Poll conducted April 7-12. The outlook for moderate economic growth this year means unemployment will stay high in the 9 percent range - b~ the November congressional elections. The prospects for high joblessness are a political I iability for incumbent Democrats and Republicans. The first quarter's reading on gross domestic product was a tad shy of the 3.4 percent growth rate economists were forecasting. GOP measures the value of all goods and services - from machinery to manicures - produced within the United States. It is the best barometer of the nation's economic health. Businesses did their part to help the economy grow in the first quarter. Spending by the federal government helped, too. Spending by businesses on equipment and software rose ala brisk 13 .4 percent pace. following an even bigger 19 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter. The federal government increased spending at a 1.4 percent pace, after being flat in the prior quarter. Companies started to restock inventories shrunken during the recession. helping boost factory production and GOP. Exports grew at a slov.cr p, in the first quarter. while imports rose, much faster - reflecting . stronger demand by U.S. con- . :-.umers. That meant the nation's trade deficit acted as a small drag to GDP in the first quartef. Slower export growth probably reflects Jess demand coming from major trading partners in Europe because of the debt crisis . there. analysts say. Problems i'n the real estate market slowed economic activtty. Builders once again trimmed spending on housing projech. following two quarterly gains. Spending on commercial real estate ventures plunged at a 14 percent pace. the seventh straight quarter!) decl\ne. And state and local governments continued to trim spending. a move some analysts expect to continue for· years. . Despite pockets of weaknc a multiple signals ~uggest the economy has turned a corner. Employers are creating jobs again - a net total of 162.000 jobs in March. the most in three . years. Manufacturers are boost-. ing production. Consumer confi- · dence is higher. And a rising number of companies - from Ford. Caterpillar and Whirlpool to UPS, Estee Lauder and Royal Caribbean Cruises ~ are seeing profits. grow. General Electric says the. "clouds are breaking'' after having suffered one of its worst years in 2009. By his best bet. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says the econom) will log mod-. erate growth. Economists in a recent AP Economy Survey predict the economy will pick up some speed. growing at a rate of 3.7 percent in the April-to-June quar- _ te1. For 20l0 as a whole. ec• . mists in the AP survey predic economy will grow 3 .I pcrce . That's an improvement from the 2.4 percent decline in 2009. the worst since 1946. But much stronger growth in the 5 percent range is needed for a full year just to drive down the unemployment rate by just l percentage point. l. Vflhen gender equality is no longer afairy tale Five years ago, while watching children's entertainment with my then 2-year old daughter, I was stunned to see that there were far more male characters than feinale characters in this media aimed at the ~oungest of children. Media images are a powerful force in shaping our perception of men and women. The stark gender inequality in media aimed at little children is significant, as television and movies wield enormous influence on them .as they develop a sense of their role in the world. And because young kids tend to watch the same TV shows and movies repeatedly, negative stereotypes get imprinted again and again. Well, it occurred to me that it was high time for our children to see boys and girls sharing the sandbox equally. So I launched the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, and its programming arm, "See Jane." In collaboration with the Annenberg School for Communication at th~ University of Southern California. we sponsored the largest research analysis ever conducted .into content of children's movies and television programs. The results were stunning. At the dawn of a new millennium - in a world more than 50 percent female - the sorry message sent to kids by the media is that women and gtrls have less value than men and boys. For every female character there are three male Geena Davis characters in G-rated films. In group scenes. fewer than one in five characters are female. Our research also revealed that when female characters do exist in media. most are highly stereotyped and/or hyper-sexuali1ed. Consider this: Female characters in Grated films wear virtually the same amount of sexually revealing clothing as female characters in R-rated films. With such disempowering images, then. what message· are girls absorbing about themselves? And what message are boys taking in about the worth and importance of girls? In fact, studies show that the more television girls watch, the more limited they consider their options in life: the more boys watch. the more sexist their views become. The antidote, of course. is positive media images. where children see an abundance of female characters occupying space rightfully theirs. Girls shown engaging in nonstereotypical activities can broaden and expand girl's lives. fostering confidence. enthusiasm and achievement. If they see it, they can be it. Armed with our research, \\e work hand-in-hand \'.ith the content creators of children's entertainment to encourage and foster improvement in the gender balance our children see. People frequent!) ask me question: What can I . Parents. teachers and the public can have a great ithpact by watching media \'\ith their chit-· dren and educating them on gender stereot) pes. One simple exercise I taught 111) kids is to count how man) female and characters speak in a show or a movie. Clearly, gender equality is an . idea whose time has come. Which begs the question. why hasn't it'? In many areas of society. there's a common belief that progress happens naturally. On its own. That as time goes by, things ~.:hange. and change for the better. Or perhaps \.\e belie\e that the' necessary change has already· taken place. I yearn for the day \\hen I can share with my daughter a tale of ··the \\a) things used to be:· of days \\hen women h lesser positions in the \\ than men. And 111) daugh Jiving in a world v. here all girls and women are seen as important. respected and fully valued members of society - a \\ orld of gender equality - will turn to me and say. "Oh. Mom. that"s just a fair) tale.""

Thursday's eYent included second graders from Eastern Elementary School. given the short amount of time and the relative lack of adults to help bait hooks and free snags. there \\t:lt:n't a lot of fish caught. but that didn't matter; the youngsters were happily lined up all along the dam and were enthusiastically casting their lines armed \\ ith bobbers and meal worms.

(AP) - It was a familiar sight for West Virginia fans as a quarterback named White stole the show in the Mountaineers' annual Gold-Blue spring scrimmage Friday night. Only thts time hts name wasn't Pat. Coley White. the younger brother of the former WVU standout d current Miami lphin quarterback, d his best impress10n of his older brother, passing for 189 total ' yards and three touchdowns in the first-ever night spring game in school history. "I liked the way he moved the offense and I like the way he handled himself in the pocket.'' WVU head coach Bill Stewart said. "He moved, shifted and did not run around and panic." With projected starting quarterback Geno Smith still recovering from foot surgery. White took every snap for both the Gold and the Blue teams, completing a total of 22-of36 passes after learning earlier in the week that ~ ~a)' be moved to slot . erver. '(Coley's) been written off, talked off and probably been told that ~untm~ O::tml'S' -$rntlnd • Page B3 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis 2010 he's not going to be the guy," Stewart said. "A lot of people said that but Bill Stewart.'' Smith broke a bone m his left foot during conditioning driJls in January. He broke a bone in the same foot in an off-the-field accident last summer. Besides Smith, White is the only other quarterback on scholarship at WVU. ·The Mountaineers have two incoming freshman recruits, Barry Brunetti and Jeremy Johnson that will also compete at quarterback. White only found success on the Blue squad. which was comprised of current first team play ers on the Mountaineer roster. He went 16-for25, throwing for 162 yards and all three of his scoring passes as the Blue team won 38-0. 'It comes with practice,just knowing where to go with the ball out there," White said. "Getting all the reps made me comfortable out there." White found redshtrt freshman receiver Stedman Bailey on TO tosses of 44 and 2 yards. With wide receivers Logan Heastie and Deon Long planning to transfer, WVU is thin at wide receiver. so Bailey's emergence could be a pleasant surprise. "We've got to have young people step up like that." said WVU offensi \·e coordinator Jeff Mullen. "We've got good players but we're one-deep with guys that have pla}ed. It was fun to see Stedman (step up) this spring ' Mullen is in a unique position as the Mountaineers start their third different quarterback in the three years he's been at WVU. He was also limited in what his offensive units could do because of White being the only quarterback for both sides. "You JUSt play with the hands you've been dealt and do the best you can." Mullen said. Playing only the ftrst half, running back Noel Devine looked sharp, rushing for 73 yards and a score. WVU will look to Devine for leadership with all its youth on offense.

(AP) - So much for Tiger Woods wanting the attention to return to his golf. In a shocking meltdown Friday at the Quail Hollow Championship. Woods matched the worst ninescore of his PGA c~reer and wound ith a 7 over 79 to miss a cut for only the sixth time in his I 4-year career. He had three-putt bogeys on consecutive holes . He hit a flop shot that ran over the 2:reen and into the water~ And he bottomed out on the 15th green with a fourputt double bogey from just over 30 feet. "It is what it is." Woods said when asked if rust or mechanics were the culprit. "Whatever it \1. as. 1t \l.asn't good enough.'' f'..ot even close. Making the performance even more surprising is that Woods was coming off a tie for fourth at the Masters three weeks ago, a remarkable perforce considering it his first competition since a hve-month •break after being caught cheating on his wife. This was a big step backward. The 79 was his second-worst score as a pro behind an 81 that Woods shot in the windblown' third round of the 2002 British Open at Muirfield v.hen he was going for the Grand Slam. His 43 on the back tied his wor!->t nine-hole score on tour: he also shot 43 at the Bay Hill Invitational three years ago, and the 1996 Tour Championship. "He's obviously got things in his mind other what's going than between the ropes right now," said British Open pion Stewart Cink, • played with Woods. "You've got to learn how to balance what's going on in your life with your golf. And if you're not in a great place mentally. then it fOmetimes shows up Tut there." Woods finished at 9over !53. the highest 36-hole total of his career Billy Mayfair birdied his final ' hole for a 4under 68 and was the 36-hole leader at 8ur¥.1er 136. He had a one-shot lead over twotime major champion Angel Cabrera. who played in Woods' group . J.P. Haves matched the Quail ·Hollo\!. record with a 64 that put him m the group at 6-undcr 138 along with Masters champion Phil Mickelson. Dustin Paul Johnson and Go)dos. This was Woods' first time playing at a regular PGA Tour event with public ticket sales. and the cro\l.d wa~ gracious as e\ er with a few exceptions. Two fans, including a woman. held thumbs-down as Woods walked off the 15th green. Police also escorted a way a fan who apparently hec~ded Woods a~ he left the 17th green. A friend of the fan, who declined to gi'e hi~ name, said the fan only said. "No red shirt for you on Sunday." Otherwise. it was clear over the last t\\ o days the fans \1. ere more interested in Woods as a golfer than anything to do v. ith his personal life. He ju t didn't give them much to cheer. And he won't be around for the weekend. "You have to let it go." Woods said. ''It's like baseball - you go 0-foJ-4 t\I.O days in a row like I did. \ou'\e got a whole ne\\ tournament next week, which i great." Woods is to compete next \\el.!k at The Players Championshtp.

"I am reall) excited about the park project," :-.aid Mayor Matt Easter. "We hope this is just the start. There arc lots of other plans for the park area.

"This allows everybody of all ages' and sites to enjoy the park." A:-.sistance from the Univer~ity of Rio Grande Greek organil'ations has been instrumental in ru;tting the project off the ground. On April II. more than 60 Grceb ~howed up at the park for clean-up duty where they removed brush to be burned by the Rio Grande Volunteer Fire Department, did general clean-up of the entire pctrk and installed 13 benches con:-.tructed by the members of the Fraternal Order of Archon. All Greek Council Advisor Amy Miller said the new park and beautification of the reservoir will benefit both the Rio Grande Community and Univer!'>ity of Rio Grande students. "We are trying to achieve a place where families and ~tu­ dents can go and enjoy the outdoors," said \1iller. "It'll be a place for everyone." Village of Rio Grande Council Member David Brodeur. who is also a member of the Fraternal Order of Archon. said park will be an asset not only to the village but to the college, as well. "Because I have insight into the needs of the village. I can relay that information to All Greek Council and the Archons." said Brodeur. "We will conttnue to help out with the beautification of the park and whatever else needs to be done.'' Brodeur said several more additions to the park area are in the works, including a beach. sunning decks. a <;mall sheltcrhouse ncar the reservoir and primitive camping spots. \!Iiller :-.aid next year, the Greeks and residents will work to remodel the nature path and install historical markers along the path and around the reservoir. "This project shows what an asset Greek organiLations can be to a community like Rio Grande," said Miller. Upon completion. raised flower beds will be placed around the plfyground to add color to the area. Funded by a grant, the flower beds will be cared for by the Rio Grande Beautification Committee. "This project has been a huge success because we gave the volunteers the poser to make decisions regarding the park," said Easter. For more information on volunteering or spon.\oring r~f the park project, contact Miller at (740) 245-5882.

Today, much time and thought is given to planning for the future, especially retirement. Many seek the security of knowing they have done everything possible to protect and grow their assets, in_ order to maintain their standard of living and enjoy their "golden years." However, what many fail 'to take into account is the medical planning, so vitaf to protect both quality of life and financial stability. All too often, we hear of those whose "golden plans" came crashing down when illness strucl$.. Many times these catastrophic illnesses completely change their future, both physically and financially. Although planning will not prevent these medicai crises from occurring. tools are available to assist' in preparing for and n~anaging medical .situations. By doing so, stress is lessened and quality of life is · preserved. Perhaps one of the most vital and readily available tools is the Advance Directive form. This document [s easily obtainable from your State government, local hospitals or over the internet. A copy of the Ohio fmin' can be readily accessed on the Ohio Hospital' Association website (ohanet.org/Advance). Thesedirectives are designed to guide your .medical care when you are unable to communicate )our wishe~. The document allows a form of your "voice" to be heard, when life-prolonging decisions are beiJ?.g_ made, and subsequently removes the burden of these difficult decisions from loved ones. The directive offers guidance and instruction to involved family and medical professionals. The Advance Directive form contains a Medicl(l Power of Attorney. which allows you to name the people closest to you whom you would trust to make your medical decisions, in the event you are unable. The person or persons designated do not need to be related to you. They simply need to be knowledgeable regarding your wishes. It is important to talk with them in d~tail about your wishes and assure they are willing to serve as a spokesperson for you. If they · are hesitant to comply with your wishes, it would be wise to seek another decision maker who would be' more comfortable following the directive. The med-· ical power of attorney only entitles the person named in the document to make medical decisions, no financial powers are given. A Durable Financial Power of Attorney is required to authorize financial decision making. It is a separate document obtained through' · · an attorney. Another important part of the Advance Directive :is the Living Will Declaration. This 'document allows you to direct the care to be provided for you, if you become terminally ill or are in a permanently unconscious condition. It requires two physicians to agr~e that no hope of recovery exists. in order for the document to take effect. Again, it is important 'to remember, as long as you can speak and guide your' care, the Living Will is not utilized. The form pro-· vides documentation regarding your wishes about tube feedings and other life-prolonging measures, along with guidance regarding organ and tissue donation. These are all very personal decisions, best made by the individual. When the burden of making these decisions falls upon loved ones rather than the person. it becomes a much more difficult process. Many times it is hard for a family to reach a co·nsen-· sus about their loved ones wishes, and they struggle· to clearly decide what is best for the person. These decisions leave many families haunted and questioning if it was the "right" thing to do. Certainly, the tube feeding issue is one of the most heavily debated and controversial issues. It is also the most emotionally charged decision, leaving many families second guessing their choice for months or even· years. By taking the time to complete an Advance Directive, you are lifting this burden and giving your loved ones the gift of knowing they are following · your instmctions and request. As you plan for retirement, do not neglect to factor in health changes with a negative impact on your lifestyle. Take a few moments to review the Advance Directive form and discuss it with those closest to you. Explore community services and care options that might be beneficial if your health status changed, and don't forget to factor in the cost of those services. By preparing for potential changes in your health, you. will be more capable of making valuable and informed decisions, providing the peace of mind only. advanced planning can offer.

He seems to understand the hypocrisy and the selfdelusion of man) of the hippies. This manner of living is particularly hard on women.

This one is a tad long at over 400 pages. but you won't be able to put it down It gets a bit raw in spots, and Boyle is no Jane Au..,ten. Talk Talk by Bo) le tells of a deaf woman who has had her identity stolen. Dr. Dana Halter teaches at a school for the deaf. She has a boyfriend. Bridger. who works for an animation company. When Dana is arrested and jailed in a case of mistaken identity. the pair decides to go after the thief. one William "Peck Wilson.

Can't wait to read more of his work. He's a keeper with a big vocabulary and a wonderful talent for describing people, places and problems. Who knew those hippie folks would have such an impact on our culture still felt in attitudes toward love and marriage and drugs? UTICA. Mich. - On the drive home from the hospital. Shannon Morell peered at her steeping newborn in his car seat and wondered. what would be the fastest route back to nonnal? The truth is the arrival of every child forces a new definition of normal. But unlike most other parents, Morell and her husband. Paul, had no advice books on what they were going through: Their son was the result of an extraordinary mixup at a fertilit) clinic in which another woman v..as implanted with the Morells' embryo. Seven months after their son's birth, the Morclls - who only reluctantly talked to the media in the days before he was born - have written a book chronicling their experience and sa) sharing the story is a necessary detour on the road to a regular life. "It wraps it all up," Shannon Morell said earlier this week in a suburban Detroit hotel room v.. ith her husband and a frequently smiling and cooing Logan. "We didn't want our experience to go to waste," her husband added. The Morells, who live in a Detroit suburb. are making the media rounds after co-writing "Misconception" with author Angela Hunt. The book is due out Tuesday. "I feel we've done our best to help other couples. give them some insight of what we went through. what we've learned," Shannon Morell said. "And let fertility clinics know, 'Hey, we haven't forgotten what happened. Have you looked at your security. have you tightened up protocols? What have you done?"' Embryo mix-ups at fertility clinics are extremely rare In those few 1nstances. the) 've degenerated into custody bat- ties, ugly lawsuits and at least one abortion. This is one of the only known cases that ended amicably. Carolyn Savage, the Sylvania. Ohio. woman who was implanted with the Morells' embryos, and her husband. Sean Savage. didn't want to have an abortion and had no desire to raise the child. The mix-up at the clinic apparently happened because Shannon's maiden name is Savage and she hadn't changed it until after using in vitro fertilization to become pregnant with twins. After their daughters v.ere born in 2006, the Morells had six frozen embryos left and planned to try for another baby. The Morells won't identify the clinic because of a confidential settlement. They also won't discuss financial terms. though Shannon Morell said the clinic didn't "accept responsibility until after it had been in the media." About three months into the pregnancy. the couples met in Toledo. A breakthrough in their relationship came in Augusr, when Carolyn Savage invited Shannon Morell to an ultrasound appointment. The Morells initially sought to keep the story private. but in their book they say that Sean Savage noted that "pregnancy is a public event'' and can't be hidden. In September, shortly before Logan's birth, Carolyn Savage told Shannon Morell they would soon appear on NBC's "Today" show. Sa\ age told Morell she wouldn't mention their names, but the Morells figured their anonymity would soon end. "It was like a tidal wave wa~ coming," said Paul, 39. a self-employed electrical engineer, who calls Logan "buddy" and likes to bounce him on his wife's Pilates ball at home to get him to sleep. For Shannon Morell. 40. the fear of going public was diminished by the des1rc to tell their story. Morell, an eighth-grade teacher. said staying silent gave the impression they were just ''going to get the baby and live happily ever after." On Sept. 23. the Morells appeared on the morning show. In the hours that followed. the phone kept ringing and reporters descended on her house. The media cru">h made her wonder whether they made the wrong choice. The next day, their son was born. and the Morells were at the hospital to greet him in a private. guarded waiting area Before leaving. they visited with the Savages and signed the documents that made Logan legally thelfS. Since his birth, the Morclls say the couples have stayed in touch and the families got together in December. ''I'm glad that they've taken an interest," Shannon Morell said. '·I wasn't sure at first. ... But I think after the fact. it just seems like. wer, you ca1Ty a baby, you estab• li~h a bond." The Savages, who have three children, said in a statement it's been "much more difficult for us than anticipated" since Logan's birth. 1bey declined to be interviewed but sa)' they plan to release their own book early next year. "We pray Logan Morell grows to understand his birth was a blessing and his life a gift," the statement said. Shannon Morell said her book is meant to serve as a public thankyou to the Savages. Writing it also helped her deal with her many emotions and provide advice she wished she'd had. The ultimate goal is to arnve at something approaching normal. "We're moving forward, we· re doing what we can to help other people, we're telling our story," she said. "Hopefully then, we move off the stage and just go to the park. play with our kids and have a regular life, like nothing ever happened." Sai • aDd save askipml 01 quky aane braid mattresses!

A fresh coat of paint can change your whole outlook! Part of the reason for that is because when we paint, we must also clean out. Painting generally requires moving everything out of a room which usually leads to 4 actually getting tid of a few unwanted items. Then of course when the painting is finished, we want to put everything away in some sort of order and maybe rearrange the room a little, so we end up with not just a fresh new wall color, but a new look and uncluttered feel as well. Spring is the perfect time of year for painting and getting that "new" feeling in your home. Choosing a paint color is probably the biggest hurdle. It. doesn't have to be as difficult as we sometimes make it. Look around the room. What items or pieces of furniture have colors that you love in them? Pull out a color from something in the room and take it to the paint store. Choose samples that match or are similar, and take them home. Once you have them home. look at them Carla Wamsley in the room. This will involve using your imagination a little. Trying to decide based on a small square is not easy but don't panic, it's just paint, and it's not permanent! That is why, once you have made your choice, you will want to buy only a quart and paint about a 4-foot-by4-foot square on the wall. Live with it for a few days. See it in daylight and evening light. Notice the differences in hue with the lights on and off. Once you are sure that you have made the perfect choice, go back and get the amount you need to paint the entire room. Before you can purchase your paint you will have to select a sheen. Flat paint has no shine at all, but hides imperfec- Pomeroy man named Loyal Legion commander POMEROY - Keith Ashley of Rock Springs has been elected and installed as the commander of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS). The organization was created in 1866 for commissioned officers of the Union Army and Navy at the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It was first organiLed to protect against a new uprising of the Confederacy. When this did not happen. the organization became a fraternal organization for commissioned officers to preserve the history of the Civil War, according to the new commander. The Ohio Commandery bas had a long history with Pres. Rutherford B. Hayes and Gen. William T. Sherman as its commanders. Ashley explained that membership in the organization today is for men whose direct or collateral ancestor was a commissioned officer. Ashley claims his ability to join through Stephen Decatur Elliott. a West Virginia. infautry captain. who i~ buried near Mason, W.Va. Ashley will be the master of ceremonies at the national convention of the organization to be held in October in Ft. Knox, Ky.. as the Ohio Commande1y is host. MOLLUS sponsors the annual February birthday observance of Lincoln at Washington, D.C., annually with the U.S. President sending a wreath. Ashley is the first Ohioan to hold the state presidencies of all the men's hereditary orders including the Sons of the American Revolution, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and the now the Society of the War of 1812 along with MOLLUS. NEW YORK - You've got a new owner. Charlie Brown. ~ Newspaper publisher E.W. Scripps C'o. is selling liceru.ing right; for Snoopy. Charlie Brown and the rest of the "Peanuts" gang to Jconix Brand Group Inc .. the licensing company that owns Joe Boxer and London Fog. The family of the late "Pc<muts" creator Charles Schulz will also own prut of the business too. giving it more control of ru1d money from the comic strip\ legacy. Heir~ say the deal announced Tuesday for for the 60-year-old comic stnp is what the artist would liave wanted. SchulL worked for decades to win back the . rights to his work, which many other artists like himself sold to appear in print. Scripps will sell its licensing unit. which also represents characters such as Dilbcrt and Raggedy Ann and Andy, to Jconix for $175 million. The bulk or revenue generated by United Media Licen~ing comes from the "Peanuts'' franchise. Iconix will form a partner~hip with Schul!' family, who will receive 20 percent owner:-.hip in the unit that owns "Peanuts" and pay that percentage of the sale price. Craig Schull. one of the late a1tists' five children. said the fan1ily ii-. relieved to ~in an ownership interest. At the time of his death in :woo. Schulz approval over all business deals and the use of which his family maintains. But nO\\, they can cr, their own proposals and shapl.. the legacy of "Peanuts," said Barbara Gallagher, a lawyer fo1 the Schulz family. The family could potentially earn more money as w&ll, and already earns a "significant revenue stream" each year from "Peanuts.'' Scripps first brought the strip to mark~t in 1950 and owned the rights. "They were simply like an actor in a pla) ," Schulz said of cartoonists from the era. '·You did your part and everything else you had to give up totally. and that's the way the world was.'' His father fought for years to get the rights back. even threatening to quit until he was given more busi ness and artistic control, -,aid the younger Schult from Santa Rosa. Calif.. where the family's busmess Is run. By the time SchulL retired in 1999, "Peanuts" was in more than 2,600 papers around the \VOrld and its cast of characters appeared everywhere. from T-shirts to greeting cards and sno-cone machines. No new comics have been drawn for a decade, according to Schulz' wishes. but the Iicensing business is alive and well. Some 20.000 new products ru·e approved each yeru· in more than 40 countries. The business has more than 1.200 licensing agreements and relationships with companies and retajlers such as Warner Bros., Old Navy, CVS. MetLife Inc. and Hallmark . The unit's licensed merchandise has annual sale more than $2 billion. but the owner~ of the li~en . receive a fraction of that. In 2009. revenue of the unit fell I 0 percent to nearly $92 million. That figure includes United Media's S) ndication operations. which Scripps will still own, meaning it\\ ill ~till syndicate comic strips and editorial features. Scripps said the cash deal will close b) the end of the second quarter. Iconix said it expects ··Peanuts" to generate about $75 million in annual royalty revenue and noted an existing revenue split with the Schulz family will remain, separate from the new 20 percent an-angemer\t. Iconix, based in New York. owns and licenses brands such Candie's, Starter. Mudd and many others. to retailers. wholesalers and suppliers. Iconix CEO Neil Cole said the purchase moves the company away from being focused solely on fashion into new realms that include theme parks. media and financial institutions. The family also hopes to pair up the franchise with Iconix 's fashion brands. Insurer MetLife has used Snoopy as its world\\ ide icon since 1985. Spokesman John Calagna declined to say how much the company pays for the rights and said the new deal would have no effect on ih plru1s. I tions very well. It is by far the hardest to clean. Satin, or Eggshell, has a soft sheen and is easier to clean and is great for general living spaces such as living rooms. dining rooms, and bedrooms. Semi gloss paint is shinier and very cleanable, which is why it makes an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Gloss is the easiest to clean, and as the name says, very shiny. If you have a lot of imperfections in your walls. steer clear of Gloss paint because it will show every one of them. One more thing to consider is Faux Finishing or Decorative Painting. If you want to create a certain ambiance in a room. you may think about this as an option. Be sure that it is a look that you love, because hiring a professional can be expensive. and doing it yourself requires patience. It will make a room look and feel like ..one of a kind." There are artists who will paint scenery on your walls in the form of murals which can change the feel of a room to something totally unique. This again. is rather expensive, but definitely worth it if you love the idea. Painting is not at the top of everyone's list of favorite things to do, but the way it makes you feel when it's all finished is unquestionably at the top of the list of satisfaction. A newly painted and fresh. uncluttered space is good for the soul.

CA PI T A L CULTURE White House garden promotes good food B Y MARY CLARE JALONICK ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON The White House kitchen garden is surely home grown, but it isn't organic. and there aren't any plans for it to be. Assistant White House Chef Sam Kass, an old friend of President Bafack Obama's who oversees the garden, says labeling the crops "organic" isn't the point. even though the White House only uses natural, not:: synthetic, fertilizers and pesticides. "To come out and say (organic) is the one and only way, which is how this would be interpreted, doesn't make any sense," Kass said Monday as he walked among the garden's newly planted broccoli, rhubarb, carrots and spinach. "This is r1ot abou't getting into all that. This is about kids." Still, it has become a curiosity around the world and part of first lady Michelle Obama 's pitch for healthy eating. She is clearly proud of it C1.9d she is asked about the garden everywhere she goes, her aides say. Embassies and organizations often call the White House with questions about how they can replicate it. The kids to whom Kass refers are from local schools and are sometimes invited to the White House to help plant and ha,tvest vegetables as part of Mrs. Obama's campaign to stem chilphood obesity. Kass says they often say they don't like certain vegetables peas, lettuce. spinach until they eat the fresh veggies they harvested from the garden. "They've never seen what broccoli looks like or where peas come from," Kass said. Last year, the White House garden produced 55 kinds of fruits and vegetables and 1,000 pounds of food, about half of which went to local charities. Though the crop wasn't large enough to feed guests for state dinners, some of its herbs were used for seasoning. The patch of lawn includes a bee hive tended- by a (iarpenter who has worked at the White House for more than two decades and tends bees on the side. The hive has prpduced 134 pounds of honey so far, and Mrs. Obama packaged some of -it up as gifts to the 'spouses of the world leaders who attended the 020 summit in Pittsburgh last year. The honey also has found its way into the White House kitchen. Presidential chefs have used it for honey cupcakes and honey vinaigrette salad dressing. The chefs are harvesting the garden yearround. When snowstorms hit: Washington earlier this year, Kass and his staff kept the veggies warm by setting up "hoop houses," plastic covers that trap heat from the sun. In early March, th~ chefs picked lettuce, spinach, turnips, arugula and carrots grown through the winter. Kass, who cooked for the Obamas in Chicago, says the garden is partly tended by White House volunteers who shed their suits for jeans and come down to the lawn periodically to work in the dirt. He said there have been very few problems in the garden, save some hungry squirrels who sneaked a few ripe tomatoes and some pumpkins that didn't turn out quite right. It was a "remarkable year," he said. This spring, the garden expanded from 1,1 00 square feet to 1 ,500 PageD2 Sunday, May 2 , 2010 EXTENSION (ORNER chambers in late August contart.

Because that's all it takes to make these comforting baked eggs that beg to be eaten in bed on Mother's Day. The egg mixture - a .simple blend of eggs. sour cream, dill, salt and pepper - even can be whisked together the night before. The cooking is equally effortless. The eggs are poured into ramekins then slowly baked in a water bath to keep them moist. A water bath is' just a baking dish filled with hot water into which you place the ramekins in the oven. For a particularly luxurious breakfast, T also added chopped shrimp to the eggs. Cooked bam, chicken or sausage could be substituted. BAKED DILL EGGS WITH SHRIMP AND SOUR CREAM Start to finish: 40 minutes (5 minutes active) Servings: 4 8 eggs 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream. divided Dried dill Salt and ground black pepper 10 raw extra-large shrimp (veins, tails and shells removed), each chopped into 4 to 5 chunks Heat the oven to 375 F. Arrange four 4- to 6ounce ramekins or other small oven-safe bowls in a baking dish. Spritz the ramekins with cooking spray. Bring a large kettle of water to a boil. In a medium bowL whisk together the eggs, 1/4 cup of sour cream and a pinch each of dill, salt and- pepper. Stir in the shrimp. Divide the egg mixture between the prepared ramekins. Place the baking dish on the oven's top rack. Ca!'efully pour enough of the water from the kettle into the baking dish to come two-thirds of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes in the water bath.f To serve, place a dollop of the remaining sour cream on top of each ramekin. Sprink.le with pepper or additional dill.
