REED BREED®MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - ''Pre-trial publicity has been greater in this case than any of the three murders last year,'' Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams said about the trial of one of four charged in the Hemlock Grove arson case. .. Only one jury trial remains pending in the arson. Two more are scheduled to change their pleas of innocence Monday on charges relating to August's fire that destroyed the Hemlock Grove Christian Church. Erin Hawkins, 23, and Joseph Satterfield. 18, will appear separately before Judge Fred W. Crow III. Entries filed in their cases indicate the court appearances we're scheduled to allow changes of pleas. Hawkins is in jail. Satteifield is out on bond. Hawkins was to go before a jury on Nov. 30. Last moRth, Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams asked for an expanded jury pool for Hawkins· trial, citing extensive press and media coverage and public discussion in local churches. In her motion for an expanded jury summons, Williams said the number of witnesses to be called and the number and nature of charges against Hawkins and the co-defendants, would require four to five days to present the case to a jury. That, she said, will make it more difficult to seat a qualified jury without creating a hardship on them. She asked that at least 75 prospective jurors be summonsed. One of the four co-defendants, Christopher Divers. is in prison after having been sentenced to two years on three of the seven-count indictment against him. He will be sentenced on the remaining charges in January, 2011. Jeffrey Mullins is scheduled to go to trial on Dec .. 16. The prosecution has requested subpoenas be issued to some 50 witnesses, including law enforcement investigators, church members and members of the Hemlock Grove compnmity. The charges are identical against all four codefendants: Desecrating religious objects in the church. breaking and entering, criminal trespassing, vandalism. tampering with evidence and possession of criminal tools.

"I'm a member only in name: I can't vote. but I would like for them to entertain my presence and any sort of an idea.·· Johnson said. The Ariel Theatre underwent changes earlier this year and several new members joined the board of directors. In relation to this. City Commission President Jim Cozza stated that he would like to see the financial statements of the various organizations in 20 11 as a means to best decide who is in need of the bed tax . funds. "We are trying to do a good thing, but it would be prudent, I think. if we knew what the financial status of these organizations was," Cozza said. Cozza also indicated that the commiSSIOn should look at how much the funding could potentially affect the organizations, since some local 'agencies are in a better financial situation that others. "To be responsible with this money, we probably need to know who has what because Jt might be that somebody could use more and somebody could get by with less:· Cozza commented. Commissioner Steve Wallis discussed the possibility of looking at other organizations in the area that could use the funding from the bed tax in the upcoming year. "In looking at this list. remembering back to conversations we had when we was adding people to the list, it was to help those folks bring more folks into town and assisting in that process," Wallis said. "1 can't help but think that two others that ought to be looked at or talked about is the visitor's center, that actually probably sets up some of these things, and Gallipolis in Bloom." The Gallia County Convention and Visitor's Bureau does receive bed tax funds, while Gallipolis in Bloom receives unding from the city for the approximately $900 entry fee annually.

Marshall said he is aware of no open investigations. Most of the fines were levied against local bar owners. and after a year of local investigation of complaints, the local health department declined to renew a contract with the state. and the Ohio Department of Health has taken over investigating complaints from Meigs County. Marshall said health department staff found themselves in a "policetype" role. and the funds the state provided for the service were not worth the extra burden on the local department. "The local health board determined it was the state ·s responsibility to enforce. and should be the state's responsibility to investigate,'' Mar~hall said Friday. A family-owned bar in Columbus has initiat- ed a lawsuit challenging the law. in part because. the suit alleges, it punishes bars for violations rather than the smokers. The Franklin County Appeals Court last week overturned that county's dismissal of $30,000 in fines. Franklin County is the county of origin for any civil suits filed relating to the enforcement of the ban. Marshall said. Ohio is one of 36 states with such legislation.

Cozza agreed that the city could look into adding other entities to the list of those receiving funds. "I think we've got some homework to do next year and we've got a year to sift through this and add other things if we want to add them," Cozza said. In 2010. the city received $84,929 in bed tax funds, a total that is up from the 2009 amount of $61,846. According to City Auditor Annette Landers. this increase can be attributed to the new Hampton Inn that opened in in 2009 in Gallipolis. CHARLESTON, W.Va. - West Virginia officials asked the state Supreme Court on Thursday to force the go-ahead for plans to erect tolls on a stretch of. U.S. 35 in Mason and Putnam counties. ' The state ,Parkways Authority and its top two officials petitioned the justices arguing that Mason County's Commission lacked the power to revoke its approval of the toll project. Parkways wants tolls to finance the expansion of a 14.6-mile section to four lanes. The commissions of both counties involved had signed off in September, but the Mason County Commission then voted 2-1 on Nov. I 0 to rescind its earlier decision. That move prompted Parkways General Manager Greg Barr on Thursday to balk at conducting the required public hearings on setting the toll rates and issuing the bonds they would finance, the petition said. The filing seeks to compel Barr to perform that duty. "The Mason County Commission had no authority to revisit (much less rescind) its September 30, 2010 approval of the project and the purported 'recission' is void,'' the petition said. "The state, as well as private parties, have taken substantial steps toward completing the Route 35 Parkway Project and invested substantial amounts of capital in the Project's completion." "It is extremely disappointing," Mason County Commissioner Rick Handley said of the Parkway's decision to take the issue to court. ''Our stance is that we felt like (the U.S. 35 toll vote) was a rushed decision. With more information that came out on the tolls • and with the public opposition we felt we. needed to change our decision." Handley stressed that the commission supports the completion of U.S. 35. however, they are not in favor of tolling the road. Handley said that he hopes the court will uphold the commission's decision and that the highway can be completed with other sources of funding. Local residents have grown critical of the plan to erect tolls. Project consultant Jacobs Engineering Group estimates that 70 percent of cars traveling the road annually will be using it four or more times a week. Jacobs has suggested a pair of toll plazas each charging $2 for cars and $8.50 for tractor-trailers, starting in 2012. Rates would then begin increasing in 201'7, gradually rismg to $3.75 for cars and $16 for tractor trailers in 2043. A commuter discount has also been proposed. ''We think what we did was the right thing and we did it for the people of Mason County," Mason County Commissioner Miles Epling said. According to Epling, the commission met with Mason County Prosecutor Damon Morgan on Friday morning and plans to file papers detailing why their decision regarding the U.S. 35 tolls should be upheld. Armed with the commissions' resolutions in support of the project, Parkways had given the toll pl~ final approval on Oct. 7. The Division of Highway then opened bids Oct. 27 for its design and construction. The petition said the low bid was $187.2 million, and remains open for 120 days. . The project is the final phase of expanding U.S. 35's West Virginia portion to four lanes. Gallipolis, then turn left at Court Street and proceed to First Avenue where it will conclude.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution JUST SAYIN' Meeting the need The holiday season is officially upon us - at least that's my best guess since the other day when I saw a 15-foot turkey dressed up like a pilgrim standing next to a rather menacinglooking Santa Claus of equal height and girth. Of course, that image could've also Andrew Carter been one of the side - - - - - - - - effects of 3 a.m. frozen pizza and ginger ale. Regardless of those images that found their way into my pea brain - real or imagined - the calendar on the wall and the chill in the air are both telling me that we're moving into that most wonderful time of the year. As in years past, many civic groups, churches. businesses and other organizations are stepping up their efforts to help feed and clothe the less fortunate members of our community. And rightly so. We who are blessed with much, or at least a little bit more than our neighbors who so often do without, have an obligation to reach out with a helping hand and share our bounty. Whether it's coats, shoes, gloves, hats, food or cash. lending aid to our fellow men and women and children is the right thing to do. In our hi-county area. we do a good job of helping our neighbors who may be down on their luck and facing tough times. From the Reedsville tornado victims to the members of the 1092nd Engineer Battalion and their families to the outpouring of support this past week for the Outreach Center in Gallia County, we step up and support each other when we see the need. And that's a good thing. The season from Thanksgiving· to Christmas is always filled with reminders for all of us that there are many people in need. We usually see an increase in promotions to help the poor and needy, especially kids and older folks. But we need to remember - and I dare say most of us do - that the poor and needy aren't just poor and needy in November and December. There are 10 other months on the calendar to deal with: 10 other months to figure out where the next meal will come from: 10 other months to decide whether to pay the electric bill or buy groceries. Our unemployment dilemma in the tri-county is a constant reminder of the great need that many families are experiencing. Certainly that hit home a few weeks ago when the layoffs wece . announced fit the Bob Evans Fanns plant in Gallia County. That left 57 families with more questions than answers. So as we rally around our neighbors during this holiday season, let's each etch a note to ourselves somewhere in our minds that the need is always great and the need is always there. and that we each have a responsibility help meet that need. · ~unbap \[imes -~entinel c .........._v Correction Policy Our ma1n concern in all stories is to be accurate.

TAX CUTS fO~ TI-\E 'Nt.I\lT~Y New STARTfor women around the world , BY LINDA TARR-WHELAN AMERICAN FORUM The so-called New START, the Strategic Am1s Reduction Treaty with Russia, is poised for an historic ratification vote in the Senate this year.. Three more major international treaties are also lined up on President Obama's ratification to-do list: the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, and CEDAW, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. CEDAW is a landmark international agreement that affirms principles of fundamental human rights and equality for women and girls around the world. Our role as a human rights defender would be improved mightily by ratifying CEDAW, reasserting the United States as a strong global leader in standing up for women a[ld girls in countries worldwide. The resulting glow of praise for the Senate from half the planet would result in ·more positive action. Ad.v ancing women's human rights worldwide is fundamental to America\ national security interests and a cornerstone of our foreign policy. CEDAW ratification would amplify the U.S. voice in defense of women and girls at a time when their rights. even their clothing, are a .._global battleground. It would send the strongest possible signal that America is back as an international team player on the one hand. while reasserting our proud bipartisan tradition of promoting and protecting human rights on the other. At the moment, only seven of the United Nations' 193 member countries have not ratified CEDAW - lran, Sudan. Somalia. three small Pacific island countries (Nauru. Palau and Tonga). and the United States. Such embarrassing bedfellows! And being in their company weakens our impact in calling for women's protections in other nations. CEDAW offers a practical blueprint for action that every country can use to make progress toward ending discrimination - even ours. American women enjoy opportunities and status not available to most of the world's women. but few would dispute that more progress is needed here, such as in· ending domestic VIOlence and closing the pay gap between men and women. Importantly, CEDAW would not lead to any automatic changes in U.S. law, and at a time when we are worried about the deficit. there is no additional cost. This treaty provides a framework for the continuing national dialogue on women's equality, as it does in every country. Similar treaties outlining global consensus on genocide, torture and race relations. won ratification under the leadership ot Presidents Reagan. Bush and Clinton. Every country has a different starting point, and CEDAW offe-rs govemments and women alike a viev..· of what non-discrimination looks like. Many countries have overhauled their laws and policies because of CEDAW. Mexico City, for example, responded to a destabilizing epidemic of violence against women by using CEDAW terms in a General Law on Women's Access to a Life Free from Violence. and all 32 Mexican states have now adopted it. Kenya used CEDAW to . address differences in inheritance . rights, eliminating discrimination · against widows and daughters of the deceased. Kuwait recommended changes to its electo. law extended voting rights women in 2005 based CEDAW, and Bangladesh broadened access to education and vocational training for girls. Such examples are legion. Basic health care, education, the right to work, to vote. to own property - it's not news that girls and women are still denied those in too many places, or that they. are forced or sold into marriage to much older men, or that violence against them is rampant especially during conflict situations. Yes. some countries have ratified CEDAW and still discriminate against women - Saudi women· still cannot drive cars. for example - but women in ratifying· countries can and do demand that their governments live up to their..CEDAW commitments. ' • That pressure would be much , stronger if the United States joined the CEDAW community. The American public strongly supports the principles of education. equality, fairness. and ba· · human rights. CEDAW ratifi tion requires 67 Senate votes. So j please, senators, as you debate the Nev. START, remember that women '.n)rldwide would get a. new start as well from U.S. ratification of CEDAW.

(AP) - Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis isn't surprised with the way quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has taken charge of the Buffalo Bills offense. "He's very dedicated. he's very smart and intelligent, he has good skills, he's able to prolong the series and do things, and he's a great teammate," Lewis said of the former Bengals quarterback. "The two years we had Ryan here he was excellent for us. " • He's been pretty good for the Bills this year, despite the team's 1-8 record. Since taking over the woeful Buffalo offense in Week 3, Fitzpatrick has thrown for 14 touchdowns. completed 59 percent of his passes and owns a respectable passer rating of 85.5. His 16-yard touchdown pass to Fred Jackson in Buffalo's 1412 win over Detroit Sunday was the 1Oth straight game in which he'd thrown a TO strike, the longest streak by a Bills QB since Drew Bledsoe threw a touchdown in the first 10, games of the 2002 season. ''I think that I can play in this league, and I think hat's been shown over he last two years." Fitzpatrick said. "I think as I've gotten older and as I've gotten more experience I've become more comfortable, and I think it has shown." Against Baltimore in Week 7. he passed for a career-high 382 yards to become the first Bills quarterback to throw for over 300 yards since J.P. Losman had 340 yards against Houston in 2006. "He's a smart quarterback, and he's not afraid to throw the ball and give people chances,'' receiver Lee Evans said. "He trusts guys and tells them where he wants to throw the football, and kind of just makes everyone comfortable." A backup with the Bengals after they acquired him in a trade A.vith St. Louis in ~ eptember 2007, Fitzpatrick developed a strong relationship with starter Carson Palmer.

With tight NASCAR race, some hope for a new champ HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) - Kevin Harvick said it. A lot of other people, maybe even some in NASCAR 's front office, are thinking it. Anybody but Jimmie. NASCAR has one of the tightest championship races in its histoafY going into Sunday's . :;ason finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, with Denny Hamlin, Johnson and Harvick separated by only 46 points in the standings. Problem is. there aren't enough people paying attention. While there are plenty of reasons why attendance and television rat· ings are down for NASCAR - which not Bryan Walters/photo Gallia Academy senior Zach Northup, sitting in middle, gives a smile after a signing a national letter of intent for swimming at Wright State University on Wednesday at GAHS. Sitting in front, from left, are Zach's parents Rob and Theresa Northup. Standing in back, from left, is Tom Blodgett (Club Swimming Coach) and GAHS swknming coach Mark Curry. " so long ago billed itself as the fastest-growing sport in the country there are some who want to pin the sport's popularity decline on Johnson's dominant run of four straight champion~hips. Never mind that the economy tanked. sponsorships became scarce and NASCAR's traditionally blue-collar fan base found itself unable to pay the bills. let arone travel to a race. A season-long downward slide in television ratings has everyone in the industry concerned. and not even a thrilling Chase for the Sprint Cup has helped.

He later admitted on live television he was struggling through a hangove~ earning raves not for his on-track feat, but at his ability to weather a full schedule of media commitments with such aplomb. So, maybe unsnrprisingly. he just shrugs when people want to blame him for NASCAR's decline. "I don't care what people have to say. I just care about how our team performs and what we do.'' Johnson said. "We certainly have our issues and it is what it is and there are so many ideas of what it might be that I can't sit here and say it's because of me. If we're trying to blame someone, we can pick someone. I can be that guy if everybody wants me to be that guy. ''But I think the problem was there before I came." NASCAR's done its best over the last 15 months to lure -fans back through a series of on and off track adjustments. Among them were universal start times, the return of the traditional spoiler to the race cars. and a loosened governing policy this season that's encouraged a show of personality through a "Boys, have at it," mentality. It hasn't mattered, though. as ESPN's ratings for the eight Chase races it aired - one was on ABC - are down 24.7 percent this season. The entire season, which is shared by Fox. TNT, ABC and ESPN, is down approximately 9 percent. N A SCAR chairman Brian France believes a portion of the ratings decline can be blamed on shifting a bulk of races to ESPN this year. Last season. ABC aired II of the 17 races it owns while ESPN had six. This year, ESPN took 14 of the 17, including nine of the 10 Chase races. "We took outselves out of some more homes by doing that.'' France said. "We did some things to try to help in one area that might have had an effect in another." Julie Sobieski, ESPN vice president of programming and acquisitions, said a variety of factors contributed to the decline in ratings. and NASCAR 's drop is on par with the NFL's increase this season. "The NFL has been up about the same amount that we've been down in these windows. they are up a full rating point and 'l \ve're down about .9," she said. ··we're looking at everything and obviously \Vant ratings to be going up and everything to be climbing. But we've got the best com-· petition coming down this weekend. that's all we can ask for.

NFL union seeks Congress' help WASHINGTON (AP) If the National Football League could throw a penalty flag at the players union, it would be for political interference. The NFL Players A ;ciation has turned ongress for help in preventing an owners' lockout of players next season. The union has drafted letters for lawmakers to send to the league and held a briefing for members of Congress and their aides on the economic impact of a labor dispute, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The union's adversary on Capitol Hill, NFL lobbyist Jeff Miller, argued that Congress isn't in a position to resolve the dispute and that trying to pull lawmakers into it is out of bounds. EDITOR'S NOTE An occasional look at w behind-the-scenes uen~e is exercised in • shington. "There's an opportunity for us and the players to work this out at the negotiating table," he said. "That's the avenue to pursue." One union-drafted letter asks Commissioner Roger Goodell to commit to no lockout next year - and, failing that, seeks a batch of information from the league, including each team's financial statements and salary figures of top officials as well as information on government subsidies for stadium construction and renovation. The union found no takers for that letter, but d get Sen. George ieux, R-Fla., to e to Goodell and the n expressing concern about the economic impact of a lockout and urging both sides to reach an agreement. LeMieux's letter, sent in August, contain~ passages nearly identical to a draft letter circulated by the union, including this section: "I understand that you are currently engaged in negotiating a collective bargaining agreement, and I do not seek to interject myself into those discussions. However, on behalf of fans, businesses and communities, I urge you to sit down now to work out whatever differences you might have." . The players union ined to comment on ampaign. In a brief phone interview, NFLPA public policy counsel Joe Briggs said Congress has taken an active interest in the sport, citing last year's highly publicized hear- « l Bills fromPageBl When Palmer went down with an elbow injury that forced him to miss all but four games in 2008, Fitzpatrick filled in and completed nearly 60 percent of his 372 passing attempts. That was enough to persuade the Bills to sign him in February 2009 to be Trent Edwards' back- A think they've been ~y impressed with Ryan," Lewis said. "They signed him as a free agent player on the eve of free agency right away, so the personnel people there felt like Ryan was a good talent and would do a good job. Over the last two years he's had the opportunity to do that." After ending last sea- $unlmp 'arimeg -$entinel • Page Bs Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis ings on NFL head injuries. He also noted that Goodell had attended a Congressional Black Caucus foundation event this year and that the league's political action committee had made campaign contributions. "It's obvious that they clearly believe that Congress' involvement is very necessary," Briggs said. "The real question will be whether a populist wave of the last election will make members of Congress ready to stop the NFL" from imposing a lockout. Miller said the league is simply playing defense. "We have a verv different approach to this than the players association has," he said. "But at the same time, if they're spending a lot of time on Capitol Hill trying to encourage Congress to engage in our collective bargaining negotiations, we can't just abdicate the playing field. We have a responsibility, too, to talk to members of Congress and their staff and educate them about the status of the negotiations." The current labor agreement expires in March. Players now receive 59.6 percent of designated NFL revenues, which the owners say is too much. The union has been encouraging congressional interest in the labor situation since last year, when it selected Washington insider DeMaurice Smith as executive director. As a candidate for the job, Smith told players he would be able to bring congressional pressure on the NFL on the labor His political front. resume includes stints with the Obama transition team, and before that, Eric Holder, now the nation's attorney general. Smith ·has urged Congress to ensure that the "gifts" it provides to the NFL - such as an antitrust exemption for broadcasting contracts - be used in ways to benefit fans and. others involved in the sport. He's organized a couple of player lobbying days on Capitol Hill, featuring dozens of current and former players. In July, Smith invited lawmakers and congres- sional staffers to a briefing in the House Judiciary Committee hearing room titled "Professional Football: More Than a Game." An NFLPA invitation says ''Mr. Smith will provide his insights on this multibillion-dollar industry and how a protracted labor dispute will affect those individuals without a voice at the bargaining table," such as small business owners and employees who depend on football. The union has argued that a lockout would cost NFL cities $150 million in lost jobs and revenue. Under Smith, the union has also ramped up lobbying spending, but it's still vastly outspent by the league. As of Sept. 30, the league had spent around $1.1 million this year to influence the federal government, more than triple the union's $340,000. And unlike the union, the NFL also has a political action committee, which made almost $600,000 in campaign donations in this year's elections, mostly to incumbents. In addition, visitor logs show that both Smith and Goodell have been to the White House to meet with staffers. Stephen Ross, director of the Penn State Institute for Sports Law, Policy and Research, said there's little chance that Congress would pass legislation that would affect the labor dispute. What's more likely is the threat of congressional involvement having some impact, he said. He also called the players' lobbying campaign part of a coordinated public relations effort. "The more members of Congress join in, that gives members of the public the impression that maybe the owners aren't doing something right, this is a little too greedy,'' Ross said. The NFLPA isn't the first sports union to turn to Congress for help in a labor dispute. During baseball's 1994-95 baseball strike, the players urged Congress to rescind the sport's antitrust exemption. Lawmakers proposed 15 pieces of legislation that would have eliminated or modified the exemption, but none became law at the time. Another branch of government wound up saving the 1995 season. On March 31 of that year, U.S. District Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, now a Supreme Court justice, issued an injunction against the owners that ended the 7 112month strike. son as the starter, Fitzpatrick lost out to Edwards when new coach Chan Gailey put the job up for grabs during training camp. But Edwards faltered and was demoted after a terrible outing in Green Bay in Week 2, and was subsequently released after the Week 3 game at New England. With nobody hanging over his shoulder, Fitzpatrick has flourished. "That always helps. If you're worried about making mistakes at the quarterback position, I can only imagine how hard it is to play," center Geoff Hangartner said. "He's out there slinging it around, and he's confident. He's made some great plays for us because of his confidence." Bengals receiver Terrell Owens, who played with Fitzpatrick last year in Buffalo, agreed. "I think what he's doing now is not surprising to me," Owens said. "It's very deserving of somebody. He's been patient, sat there quietly, and when his number was called, he was ready." Though Lewis chuckled when he said he'd like to see Fitzpatrick still wearing a Bengals uniform, he's plenty happy to see that Fitzpatrick is shedding his "journeyman" label. "You're always happy to see guys that you've been around and that you've had a chance to coach do well and have an opportunity to keep playing the game that they love and enjoy, particularly guys that work very hard and are dedicated to the game like Ryan," Lewis said. "He's a good example for all of the other players.'' Swim from Page Bl trained nearly every day in a pool since his freshman campaign. says signing his name this week is something that he will never forget. ''When I started competitive swimming my freshman year. my first coach (Regina Rhodes) told me that I could swim in college. It could take me anywhere," Northup said. ''I've really tried to work hard and do my best since then. so this is very rewarding to see it pay off in the end." Northup has been a strong contender at the district level over the last few seasons with the Blue Devils' club team, with the big leap coming last year when Northup advanced to state in both the 100 meter butterfly and 200m intermediate. It was there that Northup set his two personal bests in those varsity events. which caught the attention of the WSU program. . For a program that, last year, wasn't recognized as a varsity team sport but rather a club sport - it was a big step in the right direction for swimmers at Gallia Academy. This year, GAHS plans to be recognized as a varsity sport. Northup - an AllSEOAL goaltender for the Devils' soccer team past fall this acknowledges that last year helped a little bit in advancing the program, but the real breakthrough came years ago when stu- dents from both GAHS and River Valley started competing just because of interest. "It's a lot like the ~occer team when it started up at Gallia Academy a few years ago. It wasn't immediately recognized by other people. but more and more every year the people have opened their eyes and seen the possibilities with the program," Northup said. "That's kind of what is going on with us right now. We've gradually grown over the years and now we have enough interest for a varsity team sport.'' Northup, who plans to major in chemistry with a pre-med option. said it wasn't a hard sell to join up with.the Green and Gold Raiders next fall. As he noted, it had everything he was looking for. ·'The accessibility of the school was one thing, especially taking (US Route) 35 into Dayton and you're pretty much right there.'' Northup said. "The layout was the other thing. The university is in its own section of a city. so it's not overly-crowded. It's a nice campus and a nice area, and there's a little bit of everything around." Current GAHS swim coach Mark Curry commented that Wednesday's signing was significant for the sport in this area - and at Gallia Academy. "Over the last few years. swimming has really worked its way into Gallia County, both at Gallia Academy and at River Valley," Curry said. "Zach has been very dedicated to swimming year-round and has become quite accomplished at it. ..It always helps a program when you have somebody that is able to compete at the district and state level. It boosts the program and helps draw more kids into it.'' But the real scc..:ret to Northup's success outside of a lot of hard work - may be his year-round club coach, Tom Blodgett. Blodgett was a collegiate swimmer that helped raise interest in Gallia County upon arriving in the area years ago, and his efforts have helped both GAHS and River Valley gain enough interest over the years to have a pair of varsity sports. As a mentor in a region that isn't known for varsity swimmers. Blodgett noted that watching what has happened for No,rthup this week has been very satisfying. He also says that nobody has worked harder to make a dream come true. ''He enjoys c.ompeting and he enjoys racing. and more importantly he puts the time and effort in to perform well." Blodgett said. "Swimming is a sport that you don't just get up there and race and try hard. It takes weeks. months. years of work to be successful ... and Zach has put in that work. That's why he does well. "This has · been a long-term goal of Zach 's, and it's rewardmg to see him be successful in it." Zach is the son of Rob and Theresa Northup of Gallipolis. Ohio.

(AP) Randy Mosli says he's enjoying his time with the Tennessee Titans about two weeks into his tenure with his third team thi'i season. The Rand native and former Marshall star :.poke Friday after practice, a day after declining to talk to reporters. He said the Titans already had a great personality before he showed up of being loose and having fun ~vhile knowing when it's time to work and win games. "I think these guys really understand that in this locker room," Moss said. "] think it,'s good to have fun. because if you don't have fun, this game won't last long to you. I've been able to survive I 3 ) ears with having fun, cutting up, making guys laugh and them making me laugh. So it goes hand in hand." The Titans claimed Moss off waivers Nov. 3, and he made hi::; debut last w~:ek in a 2917 los:. to Miami where he caught one of four passes thrown to him. He will play his first game on home ·turf Sunday against the Washington Redskins (4-5) with Tennessee (5-4) trying to snap a two-game skid. Moss in<.'licated he is getting more comfortable with the Tennessee offensive scheme. but still makes occasional mistakes. The Titans need Moss up to speed quickly because they have lost a starter for the next couple of weeks with tight end Craig Stevens having ~ arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Thursday. "Hopefully I'm feeling comfortable here and trying to learn the offense, knowing where to lineup. I stiO have a little problem here and there." Moss said. "But like I said. I just want to go out and help this team win. And we need this win bad. Hopefully we can get it. Like I said. we had a good week of work. and hopefully, it'll pay off." Moss will be playing with a second starting quarterback in as many games with Tennessee. Kerry Collins started at Minmi, and Vince Youn_g, whose left ankle is well enough that he's not on the injury report, will start against the Redskins. Moss said he gotten acclimated to Young this \Veek in practice after Young played the second half in Miami. The seven-time Pro Bowl receiver said Collinli and Young are different players. which everyone knows. "It's been a great week of work ~and preparation. Hopefully. what we dtd out there this week can hopefully pay off on the field on Sunday," Moss said. ''We lost in Miaini, and I think guys are disappointed that we did lose that game. Our focus this week is just going out and getting that win." Moss needs three c.atches to pass Andre Reed (951) for eighth place in NFL history. His next catch will be his 950th, making him just the ninth player in league history to reach that mark. Redskins cornerback Carlos Rog~rs said he expects the same old Moss talent-wise Sunday. "I think he's still fast, as fast as he was. You see whnt he did in Nc\'·1 England. That lets you know he's fast." Rogers said. Collins will be doubtful with a strained left calf. but might be the emergency third quarterback. Receiver Kenny Britt (right hamstring) also will be out for a second straight game. Safety Vincent Fuller (hamstring) did not practice and is questionable. Cornerback Cortland Finnegan (shin) and defensive tackle Tony Brown (knee) practiced fully and are probable.

(Recipe from the November/ December 2010 issue of EatingWe/1 Maga-::.ine) THICKEN THE GRAVY, LOSE THE FAT BY JIM ROMANOFF ron THC ASSOCIATED PRESS • Larry Crowe/AP photo Pecan-cinnamon wafers are seen in Concord, N.H. These classic, crispy cookies are made with 100 percent whole-wheat pastry flour and are laced with healthy monounsaturated fat-rich pecans. Thanksgiving dinner typically isn't a particularly virtuous meal. but there are simple ways to lighten the load. Gravy is a good place to start. Traditionally, gravy is made by browning flour in the fatty drippings left in the pan from the roasted turkey. Clearly not a lowfat technique. Fortunately there are other ways to thicken gravy that don't require all the fat. Cornstarch can be used to produce a gravy that is thicl} and glossy and reheats well. It's just a matter of using the cornstarch to thicken hot broth or stock (most packaged varieties contain almost no fat). which can be seasoned however you like. To make a cornstarch gravy, start by making a slurry (blend) ofcornstarch and a small amount of cold liquid (generally water or broth). You will need about I tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken about l I/2 to 2 cups of gravy. Don't add powdered cornstarch directly to a hot liqui~; it will clump. The gravy also needs to be whisked bnskly to ensure a smooth textur~. and must be heated long enough to cook off its starchy flavor. Arrowroot is another plant-based starch that will thicken liquids without flour or fat. Like cornstarch, it will make a transparent. glossy gravy, yet leaves behind no flavor of its own. Unfortunately. arrowrootthickened gravy does not reheat well, so don't use it if you plan on having leftovers or want to make the gravy ahead of time. To prepare an arrowroot-thickened gravy, use 2 to 3 teaspoons of arrowroot (prepared as a slurry similar to cornstarch) for each cup of gravy. Another excellent choice for fat-free thickening is a quick mixing or instant flour. such as Wondra. This product is a finely milled. low-gluten flour that can be added to hot or cold liquids. Wondra makes a smooth gravy, similar to those made with t1our and fat, and almost never develops lumps. Use about 2 tablespoons for each cup of liquid to be thickened. • Of course, since fat adds flavor. low-fat gravies can end up bland if you don't alter your recipe a bit. Making your own turkey broth from the giblets or using the defatted drippings from the roasting pan are good ways to keep the flavors vibrant. You also can add other taste boosters. such as herbs or even pureed, roasted garlic. This citrus-miso gravy gets a complex, savory character from the addition of sweet white miso paste. which is made from fermented soy beans and can be found at most grocers near where tofu is sold. The salty, mellow n1iso complements the flavor of chicken or turkey broth and is well-balanced by the brightness of dry white wine and a touch of orange zest. CITRUS-MISO GRAVY Start to finish: 20 minutes Makes about 4 cups 2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil 1 smaJl yellow onion. finely chopped 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sweet white miso I /4 cup white wine 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth l/2 teaspoon orange zest Ground black pepper. to taste In a large saute pan over medium-high, heat the oil.

If you have pleaded guilty and_faid a fine, or even 1 the charges were dismissed you might want to mention it to your supervisor, because the bad news undoubtedly will travel through the company gossip mill before long, if it hasn't already.

In any case, this is your chance to put the whole thing into perspective for everyone. •• • Dear Dr. Brother s: My friends and I meet every week for coffee at a neighborhood diner. It's become something of a tradition, and the core group of five is pretty comfortable with each other. There is frequent colorful language, and our group is in no way politically correct. So when a couple joined the group recently, we all became a bit uncomfortable and felt the need to censor ourselves. Now it's not as fun anymore. Should we have to curb ourselves to accomrno- date newpeople?- S.W. Dea r S.W.: It is great that you have a circle of friends who get along so well that they want to meet regularly just to shoot the bull. Many people don't have the time or . energy for such a venture in an age where duty calls so strongly - not to mention wives, husbands and kids! It's also obvious that you five are so comfortable with one another that you really can let your hair down no one is judging anyone else, at least not for their use of colorful language. But the appearance of a new couple seems to have thrown you for a loop. Suddenly, everyone not1ced that your coffeeklatch culture is not one that would suit everybody and no one wanted to inadvertently offend the new people just by being yourselves. Now you are resenting the new couple just for being themselves! The first question that comes to mind is, Are you .sure you want to • include these people in your group if they are so unlike you that you feel you must censor yourselves? I'm sure they enjoy you but wouldn't want to change the whole flavor of the group, especially if it means fostering some hostility. So, you have two choices: Either be yourselves like you used to be and let the chips fall where they may, or move your coffee klatch to another time and place and leave the new couple behind. You may be right that five was the perfect number for your group. (c) 2010 by King Features Syndicate Keeping Meigs & Gallia informed ~unbap \!rimeg -~entinel .

Wnd yet fur is everywhere this season, in ways that designers hope · will take some of the • edge away from its usual critics. Some top labels, including Chane! and Nina Ricci, put faux fur on the runway that was indistinguishable even by trained eyes from the real thing. Accessory brand Be & D uses rabbit fur and lamb sheading that are byproducts of the meat industry. The comeback has less to do with newly humane treatment than with the return of luxury. If animal rights activists with cans of red paint grabbed the headlines, it was the recession that dealt fur a knockout blow. "There is a comeback of fur as there is an ceptance of luxury ain," says Gilles • endel of J. Mendel, a brand with fur in its DNA. ''After the difficult years in 'retail, the economy and the world of fashion, now people want to think about luxury that is precious and offers longevity." When consumerism was all the rage a few years ago, fur made a splash as head-to-toe outfits, sometimes dyed in bright neon colors - not exactly a practical look. There was a fast 180degree turn when the economy tanked as shoppers, even in the designer market, couldn't afford pricey fur - or at least didn't want to look like they could. Now, fashion is aiming for a balance, positioning fur as a versatile item that wj]] outlast a fancy handbag or sequined top while playing up softness and warmth. It's being used as trim on bags and boots, the lining of a hood or the fabric of a dress that is light as silk. It pairs with jeans as well as an evening gown. There's a craftsmanship to fur that makes it a worthwhile investment, Mendel says. "The beauty about fur -fake or real- is that it can glam up anything. If you have a little cardigan that's sitting in your closet, a little fur trim can make it special. The gray coat that needs sprucing up? Adding a fur collar is great alternative to buying a new one." says Marie Claire fashion director Nina Garcia, author of "Nina Garcia's Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion." For Adam Roberts, executive vice president of the animal advocacy nonprofit Born Free USA, claims of fur only as a byproduct seem farfetched. "I think a lot of shoppers want to justify their choices. They want to feel better about buying one product instead of looking at the industry holistically," Roberts says. It seems, he says, that there couldn't possibly be enough rabbit eaten in the U.S. to meet the fashion industry's demand, making him skeptical of claims of more ethical fur. And the use of faux fur could fuel the market for real fur - even inadver- they're also selling well tently. "If people see it, in fashionable cities. they want It - and that Coyote fur doesn't increases demand, and freeze and, in Canada, then more people will coyote is readily availwant it and it becomes a able, Reiss says. "The fur trend. Anytime fur is ruff on our hood is very available, no matter what functional.

It's a marriage of spo11swear and sophistication that caters to modern day-to-night, workwear-to-weekend wardrobes. Sasha Iglehart, deputy fashion director at Glamour, says economics is still a factor, and that is now seen as a plus for fur. "I think there are two issues, maybe you're going to splurge and get something super-chic and warm. and then fur can be the one thing you buy,'' she says. ''Or, you figure you can wear a fur jacket over jeans or a dress so you'll get a lot of use out of it." Wearing fur is a personal choice, but whether you prefer faux or real fur, it's a fashionable way to stay warm, she says. ''Last year, when it was so bitter cold, you saw everyone with fur trapper hats on. It was really fun to see people taking care of themselves and being warm for a minute,'' she says. "For a huge part of the country, winter is something people have to live with for a long time and Jur makes it better." Charity HSN ornaments raise money and memories BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Celebrity designers drew on childhood holiday memories and new family traditions to ' create Christmas tree ornaments with a heart. The ornaments will be sold through HSN, which previously bad raised $3 million through various projects for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, based in mphis, Tenn. CEO dy Grossman says the shopping chao• s customers are hungry to do more good. "Our customers want to be inspired," she says. This new project donates 100 percent of the profits (a minimum of 30 percent of the sales price) to the hospital, and it taps into HSN's network of designers, experts and personalities, including Sarah Jessica Parker. Iman, Martha Stewart, Padma Lakshmi, Molly Sims and Marlo Thomas, St. Jude national outreach director. There are 75 ornaments in all. "I love the one that looks like Naeem Khan's dance-hall chandelier. You know it'll look so gorgeous on the tree." says Thomas. "And Diane Gilman's zebras and leopards? I've never seen that before, and I will get a couple for my tree.'' Designers share their inspirations and stories: • Thomas' set features two golden ornaments, one with kids and a snowman, and the other with a teddy bear. Thomas recalls that her father, the late Danny Thomas, a previous champion of St. Jude. would put up one of the biggest holiday displays in all of Beverly Hills. It included a giant star from the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Thomas and husband Phil Donahue carry on that bigger-is-better holiday decorating tradition. "We always have a huge tree, maybe 11 feet, that's in the stairwell of our home in Connecticut, but you can't see the tree because it has so many ornaments on it." She says some of her favorite ornaments are those she buys as souvenirs from happy vacations, including Indonesia and Italy, but with St. Jude such an important part of her life for so long, the ornaments designed by patients there will surely be the most special this year. "I'm very excited about this. It's a way to celebrate, give back and give thanks for the healthy kids in your life," she says. • Model, TV host and entrepreneur !man's ornament is a lookalike diva in a Santa suit beside a fully decorated tree. lllustrator Alvaro, who makes !man's youngest daughter a personalized ornament every year, did the artwork. "You'll notice my dog Max, a mix Cavalier King Charles SpanielHavanese, is there with gift bags under the tree. We have a tradition of Max in our ornaments;' says Iman. The !man-David Bowie family tree each year is usually done under the creative guidance of 10year-old Lexi. "Traditionally we'd prefer something not overly decorated - just lights but she goes to town with it. At least we have won the battle of white lights vs. color," !man says. Iman says she's no DIY guru. "I love decorating my home, and, having a child, you have to try do to the craft thing. r m becoming craftier. I'm not saying I'm becoming good but I'm trying.'' • Accessories designer Carlos Falchi created a teardrop-shaped ornament made of frosted red glass with rhinestones, glitter and a big bow at the top. As a kid in snowless Brazil, the Falchi family question every year was, "How can we get snow on the tree?" "We would shred cotton, use a very fme fiberglass - that would hurt our fmgers," Falchi says with a laugh. Now that he's based in New York, Falchi says he leaves much of the decorating to his young daughters, who love to create paper ornaments. He saves them all "If you see our tree, it's gigantic and gets bigger each year. We're lucky to have high ceilings," he says. One year, however, they didn't calculate the decorating logistics and, with all the heavy ornaments in front, the tree fell. • Model and skin-care developer Jennifer Flavin Stallone combined talents with husband Sylvester Stallone to create a jolly, hand-painted Santa Claus with faux fur trim. "For me, Christmas was THE best time of year. I come from a very large family- I'm six of seven kids - and we received fan.

It includes an alien mask made out of a pasta box, and stars made with marshmallows and toothpicks covered with glitter.

For instance, • Muslims, who fom1 the majority in Indonesia. do not eat pork. Like most street food, bakso has an air of mystery. The soup and the noodles probably ongtnated in China. but the meatball. Woytisck says. may have come from the Dutch, who colonized Indonesia in the 19th century. And then there's the fact that it'~ street food. "While it's generally accepted that meat, in some form. is involved in the ball-., the resr j), unclear:· s9ys Jame!i Oseland. editor-in-chief of Saveur maga1.ine. and author of ''Cradle of Flavor: Home Cookmg from the Spice Islands of lndonc-;ia, Malaysia and Singapore." "!-rankly, I don't know what goes into them. and probably we're better off not knowing. It's like the hot dog." Meatball soups arc found throughout southcast A-.ia. hut alicionados like O<>eland especit1lly prize bak'\o. "The Indonesian version really does tend to be the king. the real granddaddy of all of the :>outhca<;t Asian beef ball brethren." he say~. "It's the whole idea of Astan beef balls taken to a higher realm. They're ju),t better tasting:· But even Indonesians split hairs. "People will take you to task if you say 'I really like this vendor,"' Woytisck says. ''They'll say 'No. no! You have to go this vcudor.' They never tire of arguing over who's got the best." But what arc the criteria'? AI dcntc noodles and. perfect meatball<>. "What makcc; a great bakso is a spnngy versus rubbery ball." Oseland say<;. ''And there's some sort of gentle spicing. There~s always thi<> perfect balance between the spicing and the meat tlmt separates the good ones from the mediocre.'' INDONESIAN BAKSO The classic condiment used to llavor bakso is samba!. a thin paste made from ground chilies. vinegar and salt. It is widely available in the ethnic aisles of large grocers.

Series gives consumers skinny on food choices BY MICHAEL H ILL ASSOCIArED PllESS NEW YORK -Looks like Americans really do like being told what to eat. Three years after lirst telling readers to pick McNuggets over Filet-0Fish and the llm -carb ~lice over the deep dish pt..u..a, books in the ''Eat This. Not That!'' series continue to offer sometimes surprising restaurant and supemmrket tips. The latest entries: the 20 II edition of "Eat This. Not That!" and a second ''Cook This.

That's I 0 books and more than 6 milhon copies in a senes that still sells like hotcakes (which readers arc advised to cat with fruit on top, not sugary supermarket syrup). The "Eat This'' concept ts simple and clever. Compare similar foods - maybe two ~andwich- es from the same chain. or two canned soups or chocolate bars and list the calories. fat. and salt in each. The healthier choice is tagged "Eat This" and the one clogged with bad stuff gets a "Not That!" So, Krispy Kreme customers are told to go for the sugar doughnut over the over the powdered cake doughnut to save 90 calories while Reese's Peanut Butter Cups gets the nod over Reese's Fast Break bar for a 50-caloric sav ing-...

BY MARY CLARE J ALONICK ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Many Republicans who swept rural Democrats from office are now confronting the reality of a promise to reduce spending: Should it cover the farm subsidies that have brought money and jobs to their districts - and directly benefited some GOP lawmakers or their familie'>? At least 13 Democrats on the Jiouse Agriculture Committee lost on Nov. 2. and most of then helped stt:er generous farm suppor1 back home. Many of their rcplacemenb avoided the issue of farm payments during the campaign as they focused on broader themes of lowering federal , spending and changing Washington. They'll have to face it soon enough. Congress is expected to begin work on the next five-year farm bill betore the 2012 election. ''They are here to represent their districts. and if their district is clearly a strong agricultural district that uses the programs in the farm bill. it may be something where they have to break with what they campaigned on," says Chandler Goule, a lobbyist for the National Farmers Union. For some deficit-cutting Republicans. it's a question that's close to home . • Consider Vicky l lartzler of Missouri. who courted tea party supp(lrt and dethroned the chairman of the House Armed Service Committee. Democratic Rep. Ike Skelton. Hartzler and her husband own a farm equipment business and a farm where they grow corn and soybeans. She received more than $770.000 in fann subsidies over the past 15 years. according to the Environmental Workmg Group. a Washington advocacy group that collects and analyzes farm subsidy data. While promising to cut what 5he called wasteful spending. Har1zler says protecting fanners is a national security issue because the decline of fanns could mean more imported food. "There are fewer and fewer fanners today so it makes them 'more of an ca~y target than others,'" she says. ''Amencan consumers have a vested interest in making sure we have a safe and reliable food supply that is home grown.'" Still. she believes some programs may need to be cut. "There's a benefit to keeping that food safety net there, but we need to look at all discretionary spcndmg and ask the hard que"tions," she says. Crop insurance - it costs taxpayers billions of dollars a year - is an effective way to give fanners the security they need when weather ruins a harvest, Hartzler said. She suggests the Conservation Reserve Program, which pays farmers to idle environmentally sensitive land, may have to go. GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, an outspoken critic of farm payments, listed between $15,000 and $50.000 in farm income as one source of revenue on her persqnal financial disclosure statement last year. citing a Bachmann family farm in Independence, Wis .. as an asset. That farm, which was owned by her father-in-Jaw, received more than $250.000 in subsidies over the past 15 years, according to the Environmental Group. A Bachmann Working spokesman said she is- not involved in any operational decisions. South Dakota Republican Kristi Noem. who ousted Democratic Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin. had partial ownership in a ranch that received more than $3 million in subsidies over J5 years, though her family bought her out last year. Panner and gospel singer Stephen Fincher won, an open seat House race in Tennessee this year while both railing agamst federal spending and deflecting criticism that his family had received $3.2 nullion in federal farm subsidies in the past I 0 years. Whether those members defend fann spending or not, the agriculture sector may be in for cuts \Vhen Congress looks at writing the next five-year farm bill, expected by 2012. There probably wi ll be much less money to go around. and Republican Rep. John Boehner of Ohio. in line to be speaker. voted against the last farm bill, saying it was too costly. Bob Stallman, president of the American Fam1 Bureau, says he thinks Boehner will listen to members of his par1y who support farm subsidies and programs. Still, he says, ''there is more pressure this time around than there ever has been"' to cut costs. One target may be direct payments. These are distributed to some farmers no matter how much they grow. While Southern farmers who grow more expensive crops such as cotton and rice say they depend on them, many criti· cize thnse dollars because they are not directly tied to prices or production. Farm supporters warn that Congress should learn lessons from past mis~ takes. however. The 1994 Republican congressional S\veep led to the 1996 farm bill, known as ttie Freedom to Fann Act, which sought to return the fann sector to the free mark. Commodity prices fell. and Congres was forced to later approve biJlions of dollars in emergency spending for fanners. Since then, a powerful farm coalition in both the House and the Senate has led to passage of two robust farm bills. David DeGennaro. a legislative and policy analyst at the Environmental Working Group, says he expects to see much of the ~ame this time around. no matter which party is in control. "There will be lots of calls and pressure to cut costs, but I don't think we're looking at a draconian cut across the board," he said. Have a corny Thanksgivin BY LEE REICH fORTHEASSOCIATE:D P~E:SS Corn and Thanksgiving go hand in hand. Chief Massessoit's brother. Quadequina, plopped his deerskin of pre-popped popcorn on the table for that historical first potluck dinner. And corn for corn meal became important sustenance to the Pilgrims, with planting tips - such as burying fish heads as fertilizer thankfully provided by the Native Americans. No mention of sweet corn. though: White settlers don't mention tasting It until 1779. when one of General John Sullivan's of(icers nabbed some from the Iroquois in western New ·York. Fewer and fewer modern-day gardeners grow sweet corn, and it's hard to imagine other kinds of corns being grown in many backyards. Yet think how nifty it would be to pop up some home~rown ker- nels for a Thanksgiving treat. Grow your own popcorn and you can choose from a variety of natural color~ before the kernels pop. that is - from blue to purple to red to amber to yellow to white. Flavors also vary. CORN HAS MANY .. FACES" Popcorn and sweet corn are but two of the five kinds of corns. and you might want to con:sider gracing next year's Thanksgiving table with a homegrown dtsh made from one of these others. Flint corn, for example. If you've ever grown decorative '"lndian corn." you've already grown flint corn. It was the kind of corn gro-wn by Native Americans in the northern United States and Canada. Differences between the various kinds of corn lie in the starchy buJk of the kernels. Popcorn has a tough protein matrix that explodes when water inside it is heated to vaporization. Sweet corn is high in :;ugar, which shrinks and wrinkles the seed when dried. Flint corn contains a hard starch that hardly shrinks upon drying. making shiny and smooth kerneled ears. Dent corn is another kind of corn, with kernels having both hard and soft starches. The soft starch is near the crown, and ''dents" each kernel as it shrinks upon drying. Dent and flint corns are what you find growing in most farm fields. Most dent find flint corn ears end up as animal feed, or are processed into such products as corn syrup and cellulose. Grow dent or flint corn in your backyard, grind up the dry kernels, and you've got the makings of corn bread or grits. Flour corn is the remaining kind of corn, deriYed from flint corn by mutation of a single chromosome. Flour corn is all soft starch, which makes it easy to grind and ideal for tortillas. ON TH E ROAD TO C ORI\'-D0!\1 . It takes but a small area of garden space to grow a respectable quantity of any of these corns. A good way tQ obtain the seed is to peruse the websites of mail-order sources such as Sun d hi 11 pres e r vat i on. com. Victoryseeds.com, Stclareseeds.com or Heirloomseeds.co m. all of which offer many varieties and kinds of · corn. There's almost no end to the uses you "II find for your harvested corn. Be:sides using ·it for decoration. popping and grinding into meal. the corn also can be parched or ferme nted into whiskey or beer. Wild turkeys are fond of corn. so throwing dried kernels out on the gro. could even provide stuffing "'on hoof." Happy Thanksgiving!
