EMS) or to • ist their community in recovery from a disaster. Some CERT volunteers have been asked to participate in search and rescue operations, damage assessment after floods or storms, disaster cleanup and many other response activities. Even before a community disaster. Clark said. CERT volunteers help get the word out to make family emergency plans and pack emergency kits in case families must shelter in place or evacuate to another location. Clark said that the single most effective prepa- ration for a community disaster is knowledgeable and prepared citizens. Being knowledgeable about what might happen and what to do in an emergency and then taking steps to actually prepare. can make all the difference in how well a family survives and recovers. Self reliance in individuals· and communities is impo1tant. especially when a large disaster is widespread. CERT training helps· individuals. families and communities prepare to respond. CERT training is free and provides a challenging program that takes place over several days. Each day is packed full of training and hands-on activities. CERT training participants will learn to size up an emergency situation and respond safely. Response duties may include managing utilities, extinguishing small fires. or search and rescue. Participants will learn how to recognize and use simple first aid techniques to treat three medical killers. Participants will also learn how to pre-plan and prepare for emergencies that are common to this area. or that families might experience during travel to other areas. Those who complete the course will receive a certificate and arc eligible to register with the state volunteer database, which qualifies them for liability protection if they volunteer during a declared disaster. Registered volunteers also receive updates on advanced training and volunteer t>pportunities. CERT classes for preformed groups can also be scheduled for churches, community organizations. employers. etc. For information or to register for CERT training, contact Cathy Clark at (740) 446-7943 or Jill Simpkins at (740) 4412036.

Pickaway County Sheriff Dwight Radcliff says the discovery was made Friday morning by two Ohio Department of Transportation employees emptying trash cans at the site south of Columbus. The sheriff says the unidentified woman was black and appeared to be in her 20s or early 30s. She was wearing only a shirt pulled up to her shoulders. Radcliff says the v. oman had not been dead long but it wasn't clear if she died at the scene or was dumped there. An autopsy would determine how she died. opened a front in Afghanistan, Dunster was an English teacher at Sycamore High School. "I started paying attention to the effects on veterans· fam iI ies as this war progressed," she said. "The divorce rate is through the roof. The veterans sacrifice. but their families do, too. As a teacher. I see how it filters down to the kids." Dunster hatched an idea for a nonprofit to help National Guard veterans and their families readjust after war duty. Two years ago she submitted her concept to a contest run by 0, The Oprah Magazine. Dunster was among 80 winners the magazine invited to New York for'three days of leadership training. Her idea evolved into the Compass Retreat Center, which welcomes National Guard veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan along with their spouses and children for retreats at SpringHill camp in Seymour, a southern Indiana city about 95 miles from Cincinnati. The center held a pilot program in December and plans six-day retreats in August and October. Funded by private donations, Compass offers psychological, spiritual and social nourishment through workshops, support groups and ministerial service, as well as recreational camp activities such as swimming. horseback riding and paintball. Dunster quit her Sycamore teaching job after 14 years to devote herself to the project, which allows her to tap a range of background skills. The Dayton-area native once worked as resident director of a camp on Cape Cod. She holds a communication arts degree from the University of Cincinnati and a master's in education from Xavier. She and husband Sean, an executive producer at WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, have two daughters, ages 10 and 9. The retreat center, she says, is about "the recognition that the whole family has paid a price. If you stabilize the home environment, you can better manage whatever else life throws at you." Laure Shoemake of Batavia partici- pated in the December retreat with her husband, recently retired Marine reservist Lt. Col. Thomas Shoemake, and two daughters, ages 5 and 7 . • Col. Shoemake served tours of duty Iraq and Afghanistan. Laure Shoemake helped develop the Compass curriculum after she heard Dunster speak at a Clermont County meeting of "Hole in My Heart," a support group for military mothers. About Compass, Laure Shoemake said: "My kids would go back in a minute. It's a very nourishing environment, with the arts and crafts and other recreation. The kids don't know it, but (facilitators) can watch for coping skills and for maladjustments in coping skills. "It's a healing atmosphere. When your spouse comes home from war, he's not really home. That person has changed, home has changed. relationship~ have changed, children have grown. People don't understand the stress that goes along with it."

Jackson said in a news conference at City Hall. ·'It was not personal -against the city. His decision is not going to make or break Cleveland. The city is resilient and has a lot of assets that have sustained us in the past and will do so in the future." . For the Cavaliers. life after LeBron will be very different. Without James. the Cavs are no longer title contenders and no\\ must revamp a roster missing its best player. Cleveland has some tradable assets. but general manager Chris Grant must decide whether to rebuild or try to maintain the club's championship-caliber status. Grant's charge is complicated by owner Dan Gilbert's pledge that the Cavs will win a championship before James does. Shortly after James announced he was leaving, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cle\eland's fans. ripping the 25-year-old and promising to deliver a title after James failed. . Gilbert called James' decision "cowardly" and later told The Associated Press he believes James quit during playoff games this year and last.

The MVP has taken center stage in Miami. With ~13,000 fans chanting "Yes We Did!" amid an atmosphere more suited to an awards show or rock concert than a basketball game, the Miami Heat welcomed the NBA's newest trio of stiperst~trs Friday ni~ht for a celebration unlike just about any other in 'team historv. James, Heat favorite Dw) ane Wade and Chris Bosh all arrived accompan~ed by plumes of smoke, lifted into the air on a forklift for their grand arrival. Great fanfare. Great expectations. "It's still surreal, man," Wade said earlier. "Me. Chris and 'Bron. We ready. We want to go to the gym now.'' · Wade was in the middle as the trio was lifted skyward for the entrance Bosh on his right. Jan1es on his left. Bosh pointed to the fans and screamed, while Wade aimed his index fingers at the crowd and James strutted about to the fans' delieht. They \\ alked ~down the stairs to a lono runway. slapping high-flves with fans. clapping their hands and soaking in the atmosphere. Meanwhile. behind the scenes, the Heat continued working on ways to make sign-and-trade deals for both players. plus try to clear space for Udonis Haslem Wade's teammate for seven seasons and someone the 2006 NBA finals MVP wants back for the next chapter. The "Three Kings," Heat broadcaster Eric Reid called them as the program got under way an hour behind schedule. presumably because of the trade talks. Keys to the citv were set to be awarded to each star, and Gov. Charlie Crist was in the stands. along with several city and county officials. Heat president Pat Riley - the mastermind of the deals - and coach Erik Spoelstra sat in the stands, as did owner Micky Alison, all of them beaming. Fans were given posters with James. Wade and Bosh together in Heat uniforms - ''Yes. We. Did... was the slogan in big white letters - and crowded around a runway surrounded by video screens and smoke effects. If Riley gets his way. the part} will be the first of many for the NBA's I1 newest star cluster - a grouping everyone. even Wade, is still getting used to. "When I look around and see No. 6 and No. I on the court with me. th'at's when it's going to see real," he said. Until now, No.6 meant Mario Chalmers, No. l meant Dorell Wright. Chalmer~ will be back (wearing No. 15. his college number. probably) and Wright still could return. but going forward Alexia Fodere/Miami Herald/MCT Miami Heat fans gather at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, for a welcome to Miami celebration for Chris Bosn and LeBron James, who will be joining Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade for the upcoming season, Friday. those digits belong tooth- taken out of the box. A ers. James will wear No. 6 instead of his usual 23. Bosh will don No. I instead of No. 4, Wade said. because he "wanted a new beginning." And even Wade - \\ ho considers his No. 3 sacred - thought about switching his number as well. "Then I realized. three is magical. and now it represents more than just my number.'' Wade said. "It represents the three of us· making sacrifices as well.'' The jersey number~ aren't all that important. They just want the winning to be easy as 1-2-3. Wade and Bosh decided Tuesday that they would play tosether in Miami, releasmg that information to the world on Wednesday. With that, it was all up to James, who said he decided Thursday mor~ing hours before ht:-. madefor-TV announcement special that night - that he'd join the Ht!ttt and form a power triple.

And it ended. as such cndinus always do. ,.,·ith tears and the self-righteous fury that inevitably follows being rejected live on national television. Like a bunch of jilted contestants. Americans glued to their television screens watched. crestfallen. as LeBron James handed that coveted final rose to the Miami Heat. eliminating his remaining suitors in one cruel instant. Tn Cleveland. grown men cried into their beers. And from l'iew York to Chicago and beyond, fannin~ across millions of riveted bSP:"i viewers. the· moment of truth stung like a personal betrayal. But isn't this what America asked for'? We wanted the show. the spectacle, the slow build-up to the big reveal. We love watching contestants uet mercilessly booted into oblivion in front of the cameras but we certainly don't want to be the rejects ourselves, thank you very much. And that's exactly what happened Thursday night. The morning after. people are•wondering: How dtd a decision by one basketball player jump clean out of the realm of basketball and become an American cultural moment that will be talked about for years to come? That\ ca!Jed masterful marketing. says Gerry Patnode, who reads the school of business at York College in York, Penn. James played coy for weeks. dragging out his decision as the frenzied speculation went into overdrive. Rather than leave his home turf. he invited teams from various cities to come visit him instead. Meanv.:hile. hope and anxiety built like a balloon about to pop. Preliminary Nielsen Co. ratings showed more than seven of every I00 homes with TV sets were tuned in to the ESPN special. In Cleveland, the . attention was extraordinary: Ed Suba JrJAkron Beacon JournaVMCT Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James prepares for action dunng pre-game warm-ups before Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs at Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday, June 14, 2007, in Cleveland, Ohio. one in even• four homes watched Jame~ announce he was lea\'ing his horpetown. "It built suspense. It kept sequencing or ratcheting up what would the choice be:· Patnode said ''Everybody started to speculate what it would be like if LeBron came to my city." It was also, at another level. a bit of well-played psychological warfare. James tapped into fans' insecurity. their need for constant vindication. says Dr.. Alan Hilfer. director of psychology at Maimonides Medical Center in :--lew York. ''Everybody wanted to be able to say, 'he chose us,"' Hilfer says:"That means we're the good guys. we're a good city. We're a good team." But for all the hype and the oft-repeated comparisons to Michael Jordan, James hasn't won a single championship in his young career, a fact that was duly noted on the front page of the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Friday morning in the form of a full-length image of James seen from behind as he walks away. An arrow pointing .to the fingers on James' right hand is accompanied by this caption: ''7 years in Cleveland. No rings." As the city's anger swelled on Thursday night, with people burning jerseys in the streets. Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert penned a furious open letter to fans, sounding very much like a jilted boyfriend penning a bitter missive about an old flame. "This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown 'chosen one· sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to 1earn." wrote Gilbert. who also called James a "coward" and a "narcissist ... Like many a prodigal son. James must now deal with the disillusionment of people like Gilbert. who is acting like a disappointed father. Hilfer says. ''The loyalty factor is something that everyone can be forgiven for." says Hilfer. "The fact that he wasn't loyal was unforgivable.'' The sports memorabilia business Fathead offered LeBron James jerseys online Friday at price reduced from $99.99 to $17.41. (Famous traitor Benedict Arnold was born in 1741. Coincidence?) Most experts say James should have seen the vitriol coming from miles away. "Sure]y he's seen enough of those old TV sitcom episodes where somebody tells three people they're going to go to the prom." says Robert Thompson. a pop cLdture expert at Syracuse University. "It never ever works well." It was like the finale of the cult ABC drama "Lost,'' which finally ended in May to much fanfare. Thompson says. Like ''Lost,'' James set himself up with too many complications, too many plot twists. to allow for a satisfying ending, Thompson says. Had James picked Cleveland, fans probably would have been more sympathetic. That's a narrative we would pay to watch. The hometown hero forgoes the temptation of sunny. wealthy Florida to stay in chilly, recession-hit Ohio - all for the love of his doting fan base. That's the rosy Hollywood story that even fans in Chicago or New York would have been • hard-pressed to criticite. Besides, loyalty is a stran word in the world of professional sports,' where money trumps' all on both sides, Patnode says. Sports franchises have proved many times over that they'll inevitably choose business over loyalty. Do the Cavaliers have a right to be upset when a player does the same thing? ''friendship and talent and such is wonderful. but James himself said it last night: It's a business," says Robert Passikoff. founder of Brand Keys. a New York-based brand loyalty research group. And in an age where reality television rules the airwaves. Americans should brace themselves for more sporting spectacles iry a similar vein, experts say. "The Decision," as LeBron's special was famously titled, may inspire marketing executives to try to create sporting events out of behind-thescenes athletic choices to lur. an audience and drum up re'l: enue. . ''There are only a few athletes out there with the JUice to hijack an hour of ESPN :· Thompson says. "Tiger could do it. I have a sneaking suspicion we may see a lot more of that kind of thing." And as for fans. they should know better. Herein lies the age-old problem of idolizing sports heroes, a one-way relattonship that has a high probability of ending badly. You're making an emotional investment In someone who's not returning the favor. ''LeBron James is not worned about you,'' says Lou Manza, professor of psycholo~y at Lebanon Valley College m Annville, Penn. "You might go to the games and cheer and •everything. but he's not hearing your cheer. He's hearing the crowd." Tired of Being a Human ·Hearing Aid?

The First National Bank of Racine was formed in 1910 and eventually merged with the Racine Home Bank to become Home National Bank in 1967. A fire at the First National Bank of Racine killed one woman who lived in an upstairs apartment and caused substantial property damage in the 1960's. T.he building has also seen its share of floods. This winter the steel frames began \o bring the new Home National Bank focus. · BY BETH SERGENT SSERGE,'ff MYDAILYSENTIN COM RACJNE - In u society where most things f~el temporary, there 's very few things which have lasted I 00 years like Racine's Home National Bank . HNB is celebrating its I OOth anniversary thi s year; a year which will also mark the grand opening of the new HNB currently under construction . HNB can trace tt.s roots to the first bank in the 'illage, Racine. Banking Company whtch was located next to Cross' redo\\ ntown. Though ails are hard to come • by, around 1910 a much talked about disugrcement occurred within the bank resulting into the formation of two banks in Racine. On June 17, 1910. Waid Cross (of Cross' Store). E.S. Beegle. Will Petrel, S.M . Cross and W.P. Carver filed the paperwork to form the First National Bank of Racine. Not to be outdone, on Sept. 26, 1910. W.A. Ellis, L.A. Weaver, John Gallnghar. Robert R. Hughes, J.M. Spencer and H.K. Coe · filed the paperwork to form the Racine Home Bank with business A more recent photo of the new bank's construction shows progress is being made toward a grand opening in October. starting on Jan. 16. 1911. As with most small towns, the years rolled by into the 1960s and what was once so important became a memory. causing new alliances to be fonned. as was the case with Racine's two existing banks. Having buried the hatchet. on June 9. 1967, the First National Bank of Racine and the Racine Home Bank merged into the Home National Bank. After several remodels. more floods than anvone can count and a fat'al fire that killed a woman in the apartment above the bank in the 1960s. HNB is preparing .. D to move out of a 100year old building into a new, $2 million facility. The facility will mo,·e from downtown to the commercial development district in Racine which includes the Dollar General store.

The new bank. which will be out of the flood plain. will have three drive thru lanes. including an ATM machine. Though the bank had hoped to have construction finished b) late this int~ · summer. it appears the opening date has been pushed back to October due to "normal delays,'' according to President BiJI Nease. Nease said despite the opening day being further away than he'd hoped. the new bank's appearance is exceeding hts expectations as it continues to take shape. Nease added the bank will hold a grand opening celebration for customers and the public. likely in October. As for why a new bank is being built? .Nease .answered: "I think it shows money is being invested in the community ... it shows faith in the community and that we· re here to stay. Hopefully this will lead to other people tnvesting in our community as well.'' As for why he believes the bank has lasted 100 years in one place: "We serve our people and the people are loyal to us and we're loyal to them. It's a community thing ...we tnkc care of each other.''

The book. NASCAR Nation: A History of Stock Car Racing in the United States , is being sold all across the country by Pracgcr Publishing. Beekman. who lives in Athens. serves as an assistant professor of history and chair of the School of Social Sciences at Rio Grande. His other books have been published previously. and he was asked to write this book after he completed a book on professional wrestling in America. ekman did extcn • research on stock car racing for his book. and the book details how this type of racing began · in America. Many believe that 'was stm1ed by 20th century bootleggers who had been deli\ ering illegal alcohol. but .Beekman found in his research that this is just a myth. ''It's not true at all." he said. Certainly many bootleggers served as drivers. but they did not start the sport. Stock car racing actually began back in the 1890s. and Beckman's book looks at the early days of the sport. ''These would have been truly 'stock cars.' These guys would have races with these cars that they wanted to sell." Beckman said. The term "stock cars" means' that they are e'\actly the same type of cars that a consumer could buy from a manufacturer. Technically.

J ACKSON M.D., DIRECTOR OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH the Ohio artment of Health H) we are always • encouraging children to play more. Playing tmproves a child 's fitness. strengthens their heart and lowers their risk for diabetes . Playing also promotes healthy growth and development throughout a child's life. While summertime offers more time for play it also offers more time for children to injure themselves. In fact. summer is often referred to as "trauma season" hv health care professiona(s working in emergency departments. Across the country. children 14 years and younger \\'ill be rushed to emergency rooms for treatment. of injuries nearly 3 million l timef:l:~::l:e t:~d~:: .{ ) l se of death and disability for children and youth. Injury rates arc highest during the summer months for children and teenagers because it is the time when they arc exposed to more injury risks. The majority of unintentional injury deaths from May through August involve drowning. biking, falls. motor vehicle occupant activities and pedestrian incidents. Many people would expect to see an increase in these types of injuries but the statistics of the most tragic consequences of injury death , are shocking: • Thirty-five Ohio children l>ctv.ccn the ages of 1-19 drown each year, 77 percent of these tragic deaths occur een the month's of -August. • Each year. about 200 Ohio children between the ages of 5 and 15 are admitted to hospitals for injuries they received while riding a bicycle and thousands more me treated in emergency rooms. An average of five Ohio children in this age range die from bicycle-related injuries each year. • An average of 20 Ohio children lose their lives each year in pedestrian-related incidents. • Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death for Ohioans between the age:-. of 5-20. On average. 80 Ohioans in this age ranee lo:-.e their lives each year as occupants in motor and recreational vehicles. • Falls are the overall leading cause of injuryrelated emergenC) room (ER) visits and hospital admissions among Ohio youth younger than 14. Although falls are among the most common causes of child injury, fortunately few falls among children result in death. ~We all want to help our children live to their full potential. As parents we must do whateYer we can to keep them safe and secure and play a key role in protecting our children from injury. l encourage you to get involved \\ ith your child and know \\'here they are going and what they are doing before they go out to play. It's also important to actiYely supervise your child when engaging in summertime activities and make sure your child wears the proper safety equipment. such as lifejacket or bike helmet. during times of play. Another way to protect your child from injury is to make sure the places he/she play s are safe, for example, playgrounds should ha' e age-appropriate equipment and safe :-.urfacc material ( 12 inches of mulch. sand. rubber. etc.) around equipment, pools should be fenced on 4-sJdcs. play areas should he located well away from busy streets and a responsible adult should he onhand at all times.

FURNtTURE GALLERIES 151 Sec(JIId Arenue •Gallipolis, OH •446-0.m The Girl Who Kicked Hornet:~ Nest. the Volume 3 of Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, all published after his death at age 50 from a heart attack, sits high on the New York Times bestselling fiction list. All three have been a publishing phenomenon, both here and in Europe. The three books all feature a crusading publisher, Micael Blomquist, who manages a magazine which attacks political and social ills. In The Girl Who Played with Fire. he and his staff are taking on the sex trade. and it is indeed a dangerous business. The johns include lawyers. politicians. even members of the police force. T hey also plan to publish a book by a journalist, based on his girlfriend's research for her doctorate. She has been investigating the network of sleat.ebags who import young girls from the former Soviet Republic and the Balkans. These two end up shot to death. The "girl'' is a strange. bisexual. vengeful. talented computer hacker. Lisbeth Salander. Our "heroine·· is described as a ··woman who hates men who hate women," no doubt due to her father's abuse of her motht".r. She is a loner with few friends, operating under her own moral code. She must be the coldest character since Madame DeFarge. Three murders occur. and Salander is suspected in all three. It's complicated. There is enough sex and violence in this one to satisfy most folks. T here are improbable tales of survival. The writing style reminds me of Dan Brown, also imrnenst;ly popular author of Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. One of the bad guys is a 6-foot-6-inch blond muscular giant who has a genetic defect which allows him to feel no pain. He seems straight out of James Bond. Tiny 90-pound Salander is a match for him. He is clumsy and she is fast! It is not difficult to understand the popularity of these thrillers. Once into them, you want to know the outcome . Larsson leaves you dangling at the end, so you must read the next one. At over 500 pages. this mystery is too long by at least 100 pages. I really do not care what brand of expresso machine or high-end appliances Salandar can afford (she has somehow come into a lot of money). These books leave me feeling a bit soiled. Violence seems to be piled on for its own sake. Neither MicaeJ nor Lisbeth is an endearing character. Too bad Larsson did not live long· enought to finish his planned ten volumes. He definitely has his fans, but I still miss James Bond. I miss his exotic girlfriends, his gadgets. his glamorous lifestyle: and his humor. To each his own. I guess. DESIG 1\J I N T E RVEN TI.O N.
