"- �PageA3 Sunday,August9,2009 ANNIE'S MAILBOX Obsessive game play is addiction BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: My wife of 15 years is seriously addicted to fantasy role-playing games. often spending 12 hours or more : online every day. I really can't begrudge her this fonn of ertamment. We are both retired, and she should be free to nd her time as she ple.ases. I manage to keep myself quite . sy with a number of activities. The problem is. I see her : withdrawing from the real world in which I prefer to live. I favor face-to-face relationships with actual people, whereas she considers her online ''guildies" to be her true friends. I realize that behind every avatar on her computer screen, : there is a real person with whom she feels she has a rela. tionship. But she is unwilling to maintain boundaries between her fantasy and reality lives. She invites her fellow players to be our guests whenever their travels take them in · our direction. I say that she doesn't really know these people. and it compromises our safety and well-being when she invites strangers into our home. Recently. she invited a male player to stay here at a time when she knew I would be traveliog. Although I trust her implicitly, I am extremely uncomfortable with this arrangement. How can I convince my wife to respect my need for stricter boundaries? - EverCrack Widower Dear Widower: Online garners who play obsessively · and withdraw from the real world are addicts, the same as . compulsive gamblers. (There is even an online support group, Online Garners Anonymous at olganon.org.) Your . wife prefers living as her alternate persona in a fantasy · world and doesn't see any risk inherent in trusting her fel: low avatars. You need to be the one who sets the boundaries in the real world. No more invitations. Period. . Dear Annie: Having just finished cleaning up after our · third round of vacation guests. it's time to remind visitors · ow to be a gracious guest at someone's home: 1. Pick up after yourselves. Don't leave your belongings I over the place. ' 2. Make sure your hosts have time to themselves. It's : exhausting to have people around all the time, and we need : to take care of day-to-day business. · 3. Don't assume your hosts can abandon their daily · schedule to accommodate you. Plan your arrival and depar: ture with them ahead of time. . 4. Contribute ro rhe cost of groceries. Don't complain if : your hosts use products you wouldn't. If you want some. thing special, buy it yourself. · 5. Take your hosts out to dinner at least once - and pay. 6. If you expect your hosts to accompany you to tourist sites, offer to pay at least part of their admission. Remember, they have probably been to these sites dozens of times. . 7. Consider purchasing a small gift like a bottle of wine : to say ''thank you." 8. If you don't like these "extras," stay at a hotel. · At the end of the season, we locals compare visits to determine who had the worst guests in their home. That's a contest no one wants to win. - Santa Fe Hosts Dear Santa Fe: All your suggestions are gqod ones, and we hope visitors will pay attention. Dear Annie: I had to laugh when I read the Jetter from "Tired of It," whose husband "hollers" when he yawns. I also holler when I yawn and stretch, and there is nothing physically wrong . with me. I've always done it (at home) and enjoy the release. My advice to her would be to try it herself. She might d it relaxing. And if not, ignore him and chalk it up to mply dealing with the annoying habits of people we love. • Hollering Hannah .

Family Healthcare celebrates Health Center WeekArig. 9-15 STAFF REPORT MDSNEWS@ MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT- Family Healthcare Inc., with medical facilities in Meigs, Ross, Vinton, Athens, Hocking and Perry counties, is joining the rest of America's more than 1,200 Community Health Centers in kicking off National Health Center Week, Aug. 9-15. The Meigs County facility·in Middleport will be holding an open house from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, in celebration of the observance, and invites the public to attend. The theme of the week, "Where Access and Quality Care Begin," highlights health centers' roles as "health care homes" for some 18 million people in America, providing primary and preventive care and a range of services. In southeastern Ohio, more than 20,000 patients are seen each year - Family Healthcare serves over 20,000 patients in southeastern Ohio each year - a number that is increasing due to layoffs and cutbacks during the economic 'downturn. Health center patients pay on an income-based sliding fee scale; no one is turned away, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. "Everyone should have the choice of a Community Health Center as their health care home," said Mark Bridenbaugh, chief exeucitve officer of Family Healthcare. "We provide high-quality services that emphasize primary care and wellness so that families can stay healthy and out of hospital.s. National Health Center Week is a time to spread the message that we need to invest in an accessible and affordable community health system that can reduce disparities, improve health and achieve cost savings." The spotlight comes at a time when the American Recovery or Reinvestment Act (ARRA), or the federal economic stimulus bill, has made increased access to care possible. Community Health Centers were among the first recipients of stimulus funding; $338 million in so-called Increased Demand for Services grants will enable health · centers to provide quality care to an additional 2.1 million patients over the next two years. Meigs County was recently the recipient of $1 ,019,265 in grant monies from the Recovery Act Capital Improvement Program to be used toward construction to build a· new health care center here. The grant, made to Family Healthcare Inc., based in Chillicothe, has designated the recovery money for use in building a new $3 million health center in Meigs County. At the time of the announcement in early July, Bridenbaugh said he expects the construction to begin in the fall. The tentative plan is to construct the new building on )and owned by the Meigs County Community ~mprovement Corpor~tion (CIC) located in the Rock Springs community near Meigs High School.

The Cavaliers offered James a contract extension on July 18, the three-year anniversary of the signing of his current contract. The team could offer the extension - at the highest salary allowed - of up to three years. James can sign the extension offer anytime before June 30,2010. James. who will make $15.7 million next season. also has an option in his cur- rent contract that can extend his deal through the 2010-11 season. However, it appears for now that James does not intend to sign the extension or pick up his one-year option for $17.1 million anytime soon. The 24-year-old superstar said his agent, Leon Rose, and Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry have had ''a great conversation."

I knew that the women's soccer program was fairly new but they are building to be a great program. I'm hoping I can help with that." Rio Grande head coach Amber Oliver believes that Rutan is a solid addition to the program. "I am very excited to be signing Jordan. She will be a great addition to our team - she is someone that can play either in the midfield or the defensive end of the field," Oliver said. "I look for Jordan to make great contributions to our team and I expect great things from her during her college career." Rutan discussed her strengths and weaknesses as a player. "I feel as if one of my best assets is my awareness on the field. I always am aware of what is going on and I always know where the ball should go before it gets to me," she said. "I need to work on my stamina. I can play a full game as an outside mid-fielder but I usually stay more defensive. I can do sprints all day, but I've always had: a problem with the distance. running and running with-: out breaks." · Rutan's goal is toimprove as a player.

James also reiterated his Thursday comments in which he said he regretted not doing a mandatory postgame media session after the Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Orlando Magic. But he also said that he didn't think he owed anyone an apology for failing to shake hands with the Magic players immediately after the series ended. James offered sympathy to Lewis, who admitted tak- ing an over-the-counter plement late last season included a substance he did: not realize was banned by. the league. "It's unfortunate," James. said. "I know Rashard really well and I know he's not: that type of guy who would· do anything to get the upper' edge on another player,: that's first and foremost: You just have to use great: judgment.

Rutan, a 5'3" mid-fi~ld­ er/defender, was a 4 year varsity letter winner and the 5th all time leading scorer for Central Crossing. Rutan is pleased to be continuing her soccer career with Rio Grande. "I am very excited to be playing for the Redstorm this fall," she said. "I think it will be a great experience and a fun way to get to know the school and the other students." "Rio had the major I was interested in pursuing and the women's soccer program is fairly new," Rutan added.

LeBron fromPageBl Star center Shaquille O'Neal shortly after their season ended, winning their first NBA title. James was similarly positioned in 2006, when he decided to sign a three-year extension with the Cavs. Despite James' insistence that · he's happy in Cleveland. his choice to delay his decision is certain to spark more speculation that he'll sign with another club next summer. James has maintained that he's pleased with the Cavs' direction, owner Dan Gilbert and Ferry's attempts to add more talent to Cleveland's roster. James said he isn't worried about his contract situation becoming a distraction.

July in fact, in the Mojave Desert in southern 8alifornia courtesy of the United States Army Reserves. Yes, I realize July is probably not the best time to hang out in a desert: the Army picked the dates, not me. Visiting places in other parts of the country. or even other countries for that matter. has left me with a far greater appr6ciation for our little corner of the world tucked away in the Ohio River valley. but as a general rule, I try to find the beauty in every place no matter how inhospitable. I tend to be an optimist by nature and a pessimist by practice. that way if things go great I can be pleasantly surprised. and if they don't, well, don't say I didn't warn you. My self-dialogue during the four weeks probably sounded a little like this: Day one through three, having arrived in the desert following a plane trip into Las Vegas and a bus ride to my destination (No, I didn't get a chance to go to any casinos or visit Hoover Dam or anything. so don't ask): yeah it's a little warmer here than it is back home, I think to myself without a hint of sarcasm, ,but I'm hanging out with people I like and at least its not raining. The next day I get up early around 4:30 a.m. or so (piece of cake, my body is still working on Eastern Daylight Savings Time), put on my running shoes and PT uniform and head out for a Iittle S-mile jog around the camp while its In the Open Jim Freeman still cool. It's a little moment of solitude; I enjoy watching the sun as it rises over the mountains - very pretty. So there's a little bit of sand. at least now I can say I watched the sun rise as I ran through the desert (shades of Forrest Gump here). Afterwards, I feel refreshed. Four weeks here? That's nothing; I can hold my breath for that long. Week two. my body is adjusted to Pacific Daylight Savings Time, so my early morning runs are starting to feel a little tedious, but the sunrises and sunsets are still pretty. But darn, it's hot and still not raining. Sure, it's not home, but I am sure I have paid to stay in worse places. I reflect on the desert ecosystem; how it seems so tough and hardy, blit in actuality is very fragile with all life hanging on by a razor-thin margin, relying on the little bit of water that actually manages to fall here. Week three: a few more early morning runs (you'd have to be insane to run during the day - it's so danged hot) including a nine-miler which was a big mistake, my feet are starting to look like chewed up bubble gum. Danged sand. Now it's just hot. Baghdad hot. You say at least it's a dry heat, but it's like a 125 freakingdegrees dry heat. so now it decides to rain? Go figure. Back home it is the second coolest July on record ... yippee. Week four: I hate it here. Did I say it was hot? I mean it's like the surface of the flipping sun here: don't remind me of it; in fact, get away from me, all of you. I'm tired of looking at your faces. I give up, desert. you win. I contemplate running home, but I would never make it out of this stupid, ugly place. I hate it here. Stupid bushes and critters, why do they even try to live here? Just give up and die like any other self-respecting species, I mean like who or what would voluntarily live in a place like this? Finally, it was time to leave, and to add insult to injury, the buses that were supposed to take us back to the airport got hijacked by another unit, causing us to miss our flights and spend another evening away from home. However, we eventually did make it out of the desert. As I drove the last few miles to my horne, I looked at our lush, green hills with a new renewed sense of appreciation and wonder, realizing just how blessed all of us living here are to call this garden spot our home.

Giambi was released by the Athletics on Friday. A's release Jason Giambi; ~lugger was hitting .193 · OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Jason Giambi 's second stint with the Oakland Athletics didn't pan out as either side had hoped. On Friday. they parted ways - most certainly for good this time. Giambi was released by the A's. cutting short the struggling slugger's return to his first major league club. It's unclear whether he will catch on with another club or whether this could be the end of a 15-year career. . "I would have no idea . what the chances are of that," A's general manager Billy Beane said on a conference call. "Jason's one of those guys \\'hO will play as long as he can. My impression was he was going to try to continue:· iambi 's aching body Jd make that tough. The 0 AL MVP for the A's. • he's been on the disabled list since July 20 with a strained right quadriceps muscle. The 38-year-old first baseman and designated hitter had returned to Oakland this season after seven pressure packed years with the New York Yankees, agreeing 111 January to a one-year contract that guaranteed him $5.25 million. That included a $6.5 million club option for 20 I0 with a $1 .25 million buyout. Giambi was making $4 million this season, so another team would owe him the prorated portion of the $400.000 league minimum. The A's are still responsible for his buyout. Giambi's legs have been bothering him for months. limiting his time in the field. The injuries, howe\'er. en't. considered career atemng. . .I talked to Jason quite a bit,'' Beane said. "Everyone knows Jason is a great guy and this is not something any of us envisioned. He always was upbeat and, as he always does, thanked us for everything. It was difficult because of the person." Beane added. "Jason has a long, successful history here and some- body that everybody was very fond of not just as a player but as a person. Those things are never easy. But once again. :~e everything Jason's done this year. he acted like a professional. We'll certainly miss him." A five-time AL All-Star, Giambi was batting just .193 - lowest in the majors when he went on rhe DL. He has 11 home runs and 40 RBis in 83 games this season. When he was placed on the DL. Beane and manager Bob Geren said a mental break might help him. A phone message and email left for Giambi's agent. Arn Tellem, weren't returned. Beane re-signed Giambi· in hopes he would ignite a dormant offense. Instead. Giambi had a nine-game stretch in June during which he was 2 for 26 (.077). He wound up hitting .152 for the lowest average for a month in his career. New York declined its $22 million option on Giambi after last season. choosing to pay him a $5 million buyout. That's how Giambi ended up back in Oakland, the team that drafted him in the second round in 1992 out of Long Beach State. He made his big league debut three years later. After leaving the A's following the 2001 season. Giambi signed a $1-20 million. seven-year contract with the Yankees. He was slowed by injuries and ensnared in federal and ' baseball im·estigations of pe.rformance-enhancing drugs. 'Giambi called it a "childhood dream" of playing in pinstripes despite the constant media scrutiny and attention. He came back to the A's hoping to aid in a turnaround and also mentor younger players. Beane has been dedicated to rebuilding the franchise from the bottom up, giving young players opportunities throughout the farm system. "This is a good opportunity for us to give a lot of guys a chance to play these last two months," .Beane said.

GAHS 8th grade football Bv JIM LITKI; AP SPORTS COLUMNIST It's easier to find out-ofwork supermodels than athletes good enough for the NFL, which is the short answer why the Lingerie Football League will survive for another day and the Arena Football League won't. An AFL J?layers' association offictal confirmed Thesday what was rumored for some time: The league, which had already suspended the 2009 season in hopes of returning in 2010, has given up. It "seems to be inevitable at this point," regional director James Guidry told The Associated Press, that the AFL will formally' announce it's ceased operations any dax,. 'I feel bad for the fans," Philadelphia Soul wide receiver Chris Jackson said, "because for 22 years it was one of the most unique, most loved, most fun s~orts I've ever been a part of. ' For those keeping score at home, the demise marks the fourth time in the last 50 years an outfit tried to make a living basking in the reflection of America's 800-pound sporting gorilla. The American Football League launched in 1960 and survived nine years before being arm-wrestled into a 1969 merger. As far as success stories, that's it. The World Football League, which boasted stars such as Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick and Danny White, folded in 1975, 10 weeks into its second season. Things were so bad by the end, the Birmingham, Ala., sheriff's department ambushed the winners of the World Bowl in the locker room and confiscated their uniforms. Some 10 years later, the United States Football League featured Doug Flutie, Steve Young and Jim Kelly. The legendary George Allen coached. The bombastic Donald Trump owned. But not for long. The USFL folded its tent three seasons later, after win- ning an antitrust case against the NFL and being awarded .$3 for its trouble - about $1.5 billion less than it was seeking. The XFL took its shot in 2001 and failed, disproving the notion nobody ever went broke selling sex and violence. That because the league, the brainchild of then-NBC Sports boss Dick Ebersol and World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon, forgot it was trying to sell football. They put cameras in the cheerleaders' locker room, carnival barkers in the announcers' booth and tweaked the rules - no fair catches or quarterback-inthe-grasp stoppages - to ensure the maximum number of collisions. But once the games actually began, it became apparent the XFL had plenty of actors, but too few athletes. In that regard, nothing has changed: There's barely enough of those to fill out the roster of the 32 NFL teams. That won't affect the Lingerie Football League, which plans to tum what began as counter-programming during halftime of the Super Bowl into a full-time enterprise. According to the LFL's Web site, its players are already in training camp and preparing for the season opener Sert. 4. Chances the league wil make itto the end are skimpier than the uniforms. More to the point, an enterprise called the United Football League will launch in October, with four teams playing six games in seven cities and ending with a Thanksgiving weekend championship. According to the league's mission statement, its goal is "to fulfill the unmet needs of football fans in major markets currently underserved by profyssional football." Toward that end, the four franchises will be headed by former NFL coaches: Jim Passel in Las Vegas, Dennis Green in San Francisco, Ted Cottrell in New York and Jim Haslett in Orlando. The UFL also has a commitment· quarterback J.P. : from Losman, who started twiceo: for the NFL's Buffalo Bills· last year. and TV deals with: the Versus network and: HDNet. It also has a cost-contain-. ment strategy - players will make around $35 compared to millions in NFL; tickets will avera around $20 per game, com-: pared to an average of $72 for the NFL - and plans to· position itself as a complementary league, rather than· a rival. And the first player: who could make the jump, if· the cards fall fortuitously for the fledgling league, is none . other than Michael Vick. . The disgraced former Atlanta Falcons' quarterback, has yet to receive an· offer from any NFL team, and if his status doesn't change by the time training . camp gives way to the regu-: lar season, the UFL might just have its marquee attrac- : tion. Then again, promoting an outlaw image didn't work out all that well for the XFL. As the guilty plea entered earlier this week by former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress reminded, the best villains are still made, not made The NFL has never be short on troublemakers, the . difference being that the ones who are eligible on: Sundays can also play. Yet another startup league is waiting in the wings, backed by a group of investors who plan to revive: the USFL's original business· plan and stage games in the · spring. Whether it survives,' or like most of its predeces-. sors, lasts just long enough to provide the NFL with a: few innovations worth steal-: ing, remains to be seen. But here's a few words to: the wise, the same ones that : could have been engraved· on the tombstone of every: rival league that thinks : America's desire for football · is unlimited: It's the game, stupid. ,Oif t. here's Never Been a o·etter • 1me. •• BBAmeeting BBA adult softball tourney Southern golf scramble SG Jr High helmet fitting RACINE - The Southern basketball program will host its second annual four-man golf scramble on Saturday, August 29, at Riverside Golf Club in Mason.

There was a prior team to the Giants by the name of the New York Cuban Giants. who while mostly black, played as Cubans. It seems that Americans i.n the 1880s approved of Cubans playing against white teams, even if the Cubans looked black, than versus American blacks. To further prolong the ruse. the Cu.ban Giant players conversed in some "made-up" gibberish that most people assumed was the Cuban language. The Page Fence Giants played their home games in White Sox Park in Chicago. though there were some years when the team played all 130 games on the road. The founder of the team, Bud Fowler. was the inventor of shin guards for catchers. Fowler played a number of years in the white small city pro leagues and in time was recognized along with Fleetwood Walker and Jackie Robinson as pioneers. Sadly, Fowler died a pauper. In time, professional black teams were formed in Buffalo. New York, Pittsburgh. Chicago and other places. There were such teams as the Keystones, Smoky City Giants, Columbian Giants, Leland Giants, the reformed New York Cuban Giants and the Philadelphia Giants. Many of these teams played against Major League teams. One historian claims that the black teams won about half of the time. The Leland Giants once played the famed Chicago Cubs of Tinker to Evers to Chance fame in a series of games and held their own. The Cubs were even (believe it or not) in four of the World Series' · from I 906 to 1911. So far as we can tell. there is only one man associated with all of these early black baseball teams and that person was Nate Harris, who was born in 1880 in Middleport, Ohio. There were a number of Hatrises prominent in the history of Gallia and Meigs counties. In 1894, Nate moved with his family to Columbus, 'where he became a star baseball and football player. A couple of years later, Nate went to Pittsburgh to be on the Keystones baseball team. regarded by some historians as the first organized black team in the east.

Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis (HMCGallipolis) offers a full range of radiology services. including X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT) scanning, nuclear medicine and ultrasound. The Radiology Department at HMCGallipolis also performs interventional procedures such as arteriography. balloon angioplasty and stent insertion, percutaneous biopsies, dialysis graft repair, vena cava filter insertion. percutaneous nephrostomy, thrombectomy and embolization. HMC-Gallipolis is home to a 64-slice CT imaging system, which provides a more detailed 3-D image of a patient's heart and other organs as well as blood vessels throughout the body. The 64-slice scanner has also significantly improved the service to trauma patients in the hospital's Emergency Department. where timely diagnosis and treatment can saye a person's life. Another highly beneficial service offered by the HMC-Gallipolis Radiology Department is Endovenous Laser Therapy. a non-surgical method of relieving the painful and potentially dangerous effects of varicose veins . Varicose veins can lead to serious circulatory problems, including blood clots. leg ulcers and decreased blood flow throughout the body. Studies indicate that about 25 percent of all American women and 10 percent of men in the U.S. suffer from varicose veins. Endovenous Laser Therapy involves inserting a thin laser fiber into the patient's vein and directing it to the desired treatment location. The iaser is then activated causing thermal energy to flow along the fiber to the treatment area . The laser fiber is then withdrawn after the entire vein has been treated. The entire procedure lasts about an hour and patients are able to walk immediately afterward and return to nom1al activities . "Endovenous Laser Therapy is a very patientfriendly procedure with excellent results," said Mike Roe. RT-R. director of radiology at H MCGallipol is. ''Before this therapy was developed, the only effective treatment for large varicose veins was vein strippiqg, an invasive surgical procedure with a longer recovery period. Endovenous laser therapy is a major advancement in the treatment of varicose veins." Roe said that the Radiology Department requires a referral from a patient's primary care physician in order for any of these procedures to be performed. In addition to treating patients. the HMCGallipolis radiology department is involved in educating future healthcare professionals. HMC-Gallipolis provides training and clinical opportunities for radiology and ultrasound students from the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College and West Virginia State University nuclear medicine students.

Longtinle RGCC board member honored RIO GRANDE - Rio Grande Community College Trustee Andrew R. Adelmann was honored recently by the Ohio Association of Community Colleges for his years of dedicated service. The Vinton County resident has served on the board of trustees for more than 27 years, and was recognized for his service by the Ohio Association of c;:ommunity Colleges at a May 15 ceremony in the Columbus suburb of Dublin. At' the event, he was named as a 2009 Excellence · Award Recipient for Outstanding Achievement in Trusteeship. Luanne Bowman, vice president for financial and atiministrative affairs for RGCC, said that she is very proud to see Adelmann receive this honor. "Mr. Adelmann has been a tremendous asset to the board over the last 27 years,'' Bowman said. "He is a very active member and participant who only wants to see the best for Rio Grande and its students." Adelmann has been active with RGCC from its beginning, and supported the original passage of the 1 percent property tax to establish the college, allowing the permanent levy to be implemented in all four indistrict counties. "It has been a pleasure to work with Mr. Adelmann," said Don Wood, interim president of the University of Rio Grande. '·I place a great deal of confidence in him and his desire to serve Rio Grande's students. His long service provides a unique perspective." During his tenure on the board, Adelmann has served two terms as chairman and two terms as vice chairman. He has also served on the board's finance committee throughout his tenure as a trustee. His work has helped to significantly improve the educational services available t0 students in the four indistrict counties, as well as to residents from all across the state. During the complex negotiations of the instructional services contract with the L!niversity of R1o Grande Board of Trustees, Adelmann was appointed to a'three-member Community College Coordinating Committee. Under the direction of the Ohio Chancellor's Office, the cpmmunity college and university committee members met with the chancellor's coordinating officer to resolve the contract issues. Through the efforts of Adelmann and the other trustees, a contract was signed to the satisfaction of both Boards. Since 1981, when Adelmann was first appointed to the board of trustees, RGCC's enrollment has grown from 1,000 students to more than 1,460 students. This growth is due in part to the contributions he has made to bring more higher education opportunities to area residents. Rio Grande plays a key role in helping area residents compete in today's job market, and Adelmann said he has been proud to be part of Rio Grande Community College for so long. "'I think it is very important to southern Ohio,'' Adelmann said. "We have a very good educational environment at Rio Grande." Adelmann said. He added that he knows several students who went to larger colleges and universities, but then transferred to Rio Grande where they felt more comfortable on the small campus with the strong academic programs. Adelmann has seen Rio Grande improve and grow over the years, and he is excited about all of the potential that the new Rio Grande Meigs Center has for helping students. "Hopefully, we'll be able to better serve those who are further away from Rio Grande," Adelmann said. Adelmann has served Rio Grande diligently over the years, and he has also been very active in the community. He has worked for several boards and organizations, including serving eight years for the Vinton County Board of Education. ----------------------------------~-------- .

It's time for that great summer ritual: Homework? Bv BETH J. HARPAZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Hey, parents, it's time for that great summer ritual: Nagging your kids to do their homework before school starts. · That's right. Lots of schools send kids packing for the summer with homework. It might be as minimal as a few math sheets. or a vague suggestion to read every day. But for many high school students, there's work ahead of Advanced Placement courses in the falL and papers due in September on difficult books. In some schools, kids get the ultimate "welcome back" present the first day of school: An in-class essay exam to make sure they followed through on their summer studies of the Holocaust or the Taliban. (What, you thought they'd get to read mysteries and romance? This ain't the beach - this is sophomore English!) Why the trend? According to Harris Cooper, Duke University's chairman of psychology and neurosc1ence, "research does say that kids forget things over the summer," with standardized tests showing lower scores in the fall than in the spring. While schools have been handing out summer reading lists for years, "'an assignment with some kind of evaluation at the beginning of the school year" is a It's Almost Time ....

Jimmy Kim, a Harvard education professor whose research on summer learning losses is widely cited, says maintaining literacy skills is especially critical for lowincome children. "Poor kids fall behind in literacy two months in the summer, and they do not catch up," he said. "These losses accumulate over time." Still, lots of kids - and parents - hate the fact that summer assignments "are hanging over their heads," as Sara Bennett put it.

Sunday,August9,2009 lt E VIEW: 'G.,;Force' shrinks action .to rodent size: BY JAKE COYLE AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER "G-Force" has been billed as producer Jerry Bruckheimer's first foray into animation. which suggests his live-action films contain something resembling "reality'' and "humans." Shrinking Bruckheimer's usual visual-effects mayhem down to rodent size, ''G-Force'' is centered on a elite squad of guinea pigs who resemble small(er) versions of Tom Cruise in ''Mission: Impossible." The guinea pigs are voiced by Sam Rockwell (Darwin), Tracy Morgan (Blaster) and Penelope Cruz (Juarez). Nicolas Cage, doing the finest voice-over work in the movie, plays Speckles, a computer specialist mole. They are collectively (along with a voice-less, camera-wielding fly) under the tutelege of G-Force's creator. Ben. (Only the little critters are animated.) He's played by the usually unconventional comedian Zach Galifianakis. introduced to many earlier this summer in "The Hangover." Ben's pipsqueak task force is quickly shut down by FBI special agent Kip Killian, played by Will Arnett. The group nevertheless rallies to help uncover the duplicitous dealings of industrialist Saber (Bill Leonard Nighy), whose big plans for world domination include evil coffee makers - a feat, of course, already accomplished by Starbucks. But you don't come to see "G-Force" for the intrigue; you come for the talking guinea pigs. If ''G-Force" has a cousin, it isn't "Ratatouille" (not by a long shot), but "Alvin and the Chipmunks," the 2007 film that also married live action with furry, animated cliches. Celebrates National Health Center Week AP photo In this film publicity image released by Disney, characters, from left, Darwin, Juarez and Blaster are shown in a scene from, "G-Force." None in the G-Force come through much as characters. Juarez. we are told, is an attractive guinea pig; a propensity to flirt is her only characteristic. Darwin, the leader, remains a blank slate, but at least is animated in such a way to mimic how Rockwell speaks out of the side of a smirk. Blaster shouts tired urban slang like "Rolla!" and "Pimp my ride!'' Like a number of Hollywood's offerings this summer, "G-Force" is in 3D. Depending on your perspective, that means either a more interesting viewing experience or simply a more expensive one. "G-Force" is directed' by Hoyt Yeatman, a longtime visual effects maestro on Bruckheimer's films, including "Armageddon'' and "Con Air." The 3-D effects are occassionally impressive, as when the fly buzzes over your shoulder. But an opportunity was missed to exploit the 3-D technology from the perspective of hamster-sized spies. And when will effects wizards realize the most important feature of an animated creature isn't the pixels of its fur, but the liveliness of its eyes? The movie credits Yeatman with the film's story and five writers with the screenplay. The group effort, though, wasn t enough to prevent a climax that will have moviegoers wondering if they accidentally wandered into the theater for the latest "Transformers'' film. Most depressing about "G-Force" is the talent wasted in the name of fai t ily entertainme1 Galifianakis, Morgan an .

Intenor designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Mallory Mathison often focus on the exterior when working with home owners in the South. But even in the Northeast, outdoor dining and entertaining have become a priority, says designer Janine Carendi, who primarily works with clients in New York City. '~Not only isn't it the last thing people want to think about," she says, "but in New York, where outdoor space is so rare, it's often the flrst thing they start with." Flyru1 says many homeowners have come to think of their outdoor space as an additional living room and dining room, decorating the space as though it's inside. At large homes, outdoor space has become the focal point, much the way kitchens and baths have garnered extra attention in recent years. And at smaller homes, outdoor areas are a great tool • for maximizing living space. Retailers have taken notice. The range of outdoor products - furniture, rugs, draperies - that look as though they belong indoors has increased considerably. "If you look • har.d enough and have the resources:· Mathison says, "you can fmd anything for outside that looks as good as for inside. It's a huge advance from flve years ago, and even in the past two years." "It's no longer about throwing a lawn chair out there," she says. ''It's about implementing your own style outside.'' So how do these designers propose you do that? on the side of the street - · all these things can live happily together in your home." Where fashion goes, home decor is never far behind. And this fall, home retailers continue to take cues from decades past, such as '60s and '70s styles ranging from loose and relaxed to sophisticated and worldly. Watch for country-style furniture; cottage print textiles: farm animal motifs; • quilts as wall hangtngs and throws: folk art and faux general-store signage as wall art: flour-sack pillow covers; baskets and hooked rugs. This isn't throwback decor, with armies of ducks marching across the 1kitchen wallpaper or plaid ribbons festooning every chair; the vibe is comfortable. yet contemporary. The floral prints are updjlted, and graphic prints !re bold: Wisteria has some striking game boards, unique replicas of old weather vanes and a variety of colorful quilts. Pottery Barn also stocks a quilt collection, as well as crewelwork pillows, galvaniz6d steel serveware and cool repro signage. Americana is big. You'll see the flag and other patriotic symbols rendered in faux-vintage painted wood, distressed cotton and painted tin. The colors of the warmer months take on a deeper tone, so the lilac becomes plum. and the sunny yellow is now ochre. Burnt orange and deep crimson remain important hues. If there's such a thing as American Boho. then its sister must be Global Boho: Russian folk prints, needlepointed rugs. Moorish motifs, hammered silver Thai vases, handcrafted pottery and exotic Asian furniture. The shape and scale of outdoor furniture is changing, says Mathison: "You see people taking a cue from European lifestyle and doing al fresco dining, with dining tables that are a lower height," she says, "and chairs that are a lot more comfortable than standard dining chairs .... It's all about lingering and really enjoying being outside, having long conversations." Flynn loves the latest offerings from Jason Champion Outdoor, which capture this lounge-y. relaxed feeling perfectly. • Indoor elements brought outside. Mathison recently saw an antique armoire that had been outfitted to hold an outdoor barbecue grill. ·'At a show house recently," she says. "you see this armoire, and then they open it up. and it has a grill inside ... with all the utensils and equipment hanging inside." Televisions, too, have migrated outside: Flynn says moisture-resistant, flatpanel TVs are a popular outdoor accessory, though they an:: easy targets for theft. Indoor/outdoor fabrics and rugs are also being used to amplify the living-roo·m feeling. They add indoor style to an outdoor space, says Carendi, but also stand up to the elements and are easily cleaned. Patterns have changed: Rather than relying on awning stripes and other outdoorsy styles. these products are designed with an indoor look. Mathison likes outdoor rugs from WilliamsSonoma or Ballard Designs. For fabrics, Cru-endi and Flynn both like Trina Turk's outdoor designs for Schumacher. • Outdoor kitchens with all the accessories. The outdoor kitchen is here to stay, says Flynn, with a growing number of people going beyond an elaborate grill to create a full cooking and serving area. Outdoor refiigerators, outdoor ice makers, and separate coolers for beer and wine are becoming more common, he says. Mathison agrees: "You see outdoor cock.1ail stations ... and things like warming .drawers and prep areas for gtills." These designers also see a wide selection of outdoor lighting and overhead fans. • I ; , .., ,. c r n . -.. • d �- ~ ~ ,..._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ "'!!-- .

Gallia youth reaches 'Higher Ground' GALLIPOLIS Jonathan Holley of Gallipolis recently returned from the Higher Ground leadership conference sponsored by Ohio Farm Bureau. The '·learn by doing'' event was ·held at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware. Teens ages 14-18 from across Ohio were hand-chosen to attend the six-day conference. The pro_gram provided the participants with a working knowledge of the democratic structure of the Ohio Farm Jonathan Holley Bureau Federation as well as leadership, agribusiness and personal development skills. Daily workshops on leadership keystones provided youth with plans for goal setting. people skills. and communica·tion excellence. Participants developed skills in public speaking, leading discussions and working together by organizing a Farm Bureau complete with advisory councils. a public policy committee, and a Farm Bureau board. Teen leaders organized a mock House of Representatives to experience how our state government develops legislation. They introduced bills and held hearings on the current livestock issues facing Ohio, and wrote letters to Ohio legislators. Participants also gained hands-on experience about cooperatives and agribusiness by forming their own co-op refreshment store complete with a board of directors. Teen leaders also experienced a workshop on e-media and the increasingly impoxtant role of reaching your audi_e nce .through mediums like facebook and twitter. They also ·participated in workshops including self defense. vocal music and public speaking. The conference was hosted by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation in cooperation with the county Farm Bureaus.

Sunday,August9,2009 Texas' 'cr~ ants: Ag pest or urban annoyance? BY LINDA STEWART BALL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER DALLAS - A species of ant that has ruined sewage pumps. fouled computers and made it difficult for homeowners to enjoy their yards has a new target: the honeybee. The range of the so-called Rasberry crazy ant has more than doubled in the past year, creating a swath in 11 counties beginning near Houston and moving north, scientists say. ~ Given the ant's encroachment on livestock, hay bales and a few honeybee farms, some are trying to classify it as an agricultural pest, one that must soon be stopped. "It really is spreading at an alarming rate and we need to do research now," said Danny McDonald, a Texas A&M University doctoral student who is examining the tiny creature's biology and ecology. "There's no time to wait." But serious research requires serious dollars. The Texas Depattment of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Agriculture will fund in-depth research on the Rasberry crazy ant, but only if it gets the pest classification. And to do that, state officials say more research must be done. It's a sticky Catch-22. "This is absolutely idiotic." said Tom Rasberry, the exterminator for whom the ant is named because he fought against them early on. "If killing honeybees does not put it in the ag pest category I don't know what does.'' Honeybees are needed to pollinate crops. Honey, about 4.9 million pounds produced in Texas last year. is a sweet byproduct. Emerging by the billions during the warm. humid season, the reddish-brown insect is at its peak in August and September and appears resistant to over- ~ In this July 27 photo exterminator Tom Rasberry pho-. tographs Rasberry crazy ants attacking a honeybee hive in Pearland Texas.

The : ant is named for Rasberry. AP photo the-counter ant killers. They are believed to have anived in a cargo shipment through the port of Houston. Rasberry, a member of a federal-state task force created Last fall in part to bring about awareness of the invasive ant, says the government is not moving fast enough to eradicate the pests. which were first seen in Texas in 2002. The ants formally known as ''paratrenicha species near pubens" - are called "crazy" because they wander erratically instead of marching in regimented lines. Although they eat stinging fire ants, they also feed on beneficial insects such as ladybugs and honeybees. The USDA's Agriculture Research Service recently released about $30,000 for a yearlong study by Texas AgriLife Extension Service and A&M's Center for Urban & Structural Entomology to determine how quickly the ants are spreading. "Our folks know this is a very serious issue and we're jumping on it to make sure we find a solution very quickly," said Bryan Black, Texas Department of Agriculture spokesman. "We want to protect agriculture and we want to protect the public, absolutely." Critics say the initial study won't address the ant's food preferences. reproduction cycles, lifespan, temperature tolerance or effect on wildlife. ''There are literally thousands of things we need to find out to get on a fast track, otherwise we're going to do just like we did with the fire ant and wait until it was too late," Rasberry warned. Steve Coplin, a fourthgeneration commercial bee, keeper in Alvin -about 30 miles south of Houston said the ants began attacking his beehives nearly three years ago. Initially, Coplin said, he'd just move his hives away from the infested areas but "now it's getting so widespread it's hard to keep up.'' He said he's losing about 100 hives to the ants each year. At its peak, Coplin Bee Farms had about 2,500 hives. but colony collapse disorder and Hurricane Ike reduced the business to about 600 hives. ''Everything eats a honeybee - purple martins on down to dragonflies,': Coplin said. "But the inva~ sian of these ants is 100 times worse than anything I've seen. This is something new." : Apiculturists say the: Rasberry crazy ants don't appear to be interested iri the honey: they're after the brood. They invade the honeycomb cell and dine on larvae. When the bees escape, the ants take o. the abandoned hive and eggs. Coplin said he's forced to burn the infested hive and equipment. That's cost hirr; about $30.000 so far. As an area director for the Texas Beekeepers Association, Coplin said other apiarists experiencing similar ant problems call him for advice. They fear quarantines and aerial pesticides could wipe out their precious bees along with the ant invaders. "I would much rather have the fire ant." Coplin said. explaining that fire ants usually just eat dead . bees that have fallen from the hive. ''Fire ants are not as aggressive. They might sting and hurt at worse, but these things. they just go in by the thousands." Stimu~us funding to aid national fore~ NELSONVILLE Wayne National Forest in southeastern Ohio has received $1.7 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to be used for needed improvements to various Forest facilities and trails projects. U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack made the announcement along with other projects on July 21, 2009. A total of 191 projects. funded at more than $274 million, are located on public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service in 32 states. "The Recovery Act projects we've just announced are central to creating jobs and building a better. stronger economy in the future." said Secretary Vilsack. "These projects exemplify President Obama's commitment to sustainability. reducing our environmental footprint, and increasing energy efficiency. which will benefit the 178 million people who visit the national forests each year, while generating additional tourism and stimulating local economies." Wayne National Forest project highlights include the following eff01ts: • Within twelve months. $1 .3 million wUl be spent on a variety of projects. The funds will finance projects that will improve over 120 miles of motorized and nonmotorized trails within the boundary of Wayne National Forest. The Athens Ran~er District will receiVe $600,000 of the funds, while the Ironton Ranger District will receive $300,000 to fund trail improvements. Much of the work on alltenain vehicle trails will be surface and base work, as well as drainage, signage and bridge repairs. Another horseback riders. mountain bikers. cross-country skiers. snowmobilers. and all-ter" rain vehicle enthusiasts. As with the roads and trails system, there is cur~ rently a large backlog of maintenance needs for public facilities. Maintenance needs were identified through extensive studies of specific public facilitie~ needed to ,s upport outdoor activities that are best pro~ vided on the national forests and grasslands. . Workers hired under ARRA will maintain public buildings and recreational facilities so that they con~ tribute to safe. high-quality outdoor experiences for national forest visitors. Once work is completed, these buildings will be more energy efficient. use I. water. have a smaller en ronmental footprint, and be less expensi\ e to operate and maintain. thus saving tax~' payer money in the Ioilg run. $400,000 will purchase gravel that wiJl be used on Forest-wide watershed, trail, and road projects. • Within the next twelve months, $275,000 will be spent in Lawrence County to repair the wastewater handling and disposal system at the Lake Vesuvius Furnace recreation site. The improvements to the 1930s era system will ensure the public will not be exposed to health and safety risks due to the potential for surface water contamination. • Also in Lawrence ,COUI_lty, $ I 30,000 will fund repa1rs to three Forest earthen dams; Timbre Ridge, Smith Hollow. and Brady. Repairs include work on emergency spillways, outlet structures, valves, and embankments. Across the country, the Forest Service trails system provides access to a wide diversity of national forest users. including hikers. Farm Bureau takes part in competition . GALLIPOLIS - Gallia County Farm Bureau is participating in the ·'Growing a Masterpiece., art project at this year's Ohio State Fair. Artist Jeri Howell has transformed a blank. oversized ''postcard" into work of art. · Jeri Howell was selected by the Gallia County Farm Bureau to transform the postcard into an a1tistic representation of agriculture in Gallia County. The name of the exhibit at the State Fair is "Greetings from Ohio Agriculture." As a special project of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation and Our Ohio. each county Farm Bureau was provided a postcard that was to be transformed into masterpieces. Artists were encouraged to usc a variety of materials when creating their des1gn. resulting in a wide array of vibrant and imaginative creations. Each of Ohio's 88 counties is represented in this a project. The postcards can be seen at the Ohio State Fair in Ohio Farm Bureau Federation's Land and Living Exhibit through Aug. 9. Here, the postcards will be voted upon by the public for the "Best of Show" award to be given at the conclusion of the project in November. Gallia County residents are encouraged to view and vote for their favorite postcards online at OurOhio.org.

You can work with flower bulbs year-round AP photos BvTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS Fall has become a popular second season for planting, particularly for spring-blooming flower bulbs. Trowdcarrying gardeners return to action once the summer heat abates to set more tulips, crocus or daffodib into' the ground. But bulb planting can be done any time of year. No matter what the climate - banana belt or ski country - you can coax blooms from one kind of bulb or another, displaying them indoors or out. Here are some season-byseason examples: Eall Plant tulips. daffodils, iris. hyacinth. narcissus, crocu!-., eranthis, fritillaria, :-.cilia. cyclamen and !ilium at least a few weeks before the first killing frost. although some gardeners routinely linger longer. "I often wait until Thanksgiving before putting them in," said Sally Ferguson. spokeswoman for the 1\etherlands Flower Bulb Information Center at Danby, Yt. "The bulbs still have enough time to get rooted before winter." All arc good for hardi ness zones 4 through 8. Some \Viii begin to flower even before the last of the snow has melted. All go dormant in summer. Winter Force bulbs for indoor blooms. Start around Sept. I if you want to use them as Christmas presents. October 1st is good if you simply want to display them around the house during the holidays. Start by potting up a few of your favorite spring-blooming bulbs. Keep them in a cool. dark but frost-free place for several months. then place them at a sunny indoor site after they bloom. Beware mixing varietals in the same pot since they may not share the same maturity dates. Spring To produce blooms throu~h from May October, plant bcgoma, tigridia. eucomis, allium. amaryllis, gladiolus and oxalis as soon as the soil warms to about 60 degrees. These bulbs generally arc good for zones 4-10. Summer Autumn-blooming bulbs like fall crocus and colchicums should be planted in early- to midsummer. Dutch designer liberates bulbs from mass plandngs · Bv DEAN FOSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS hoever authored the phrase "strength in numbers'' must have been a flov,:er bulb grower. Gardeners for decades have been planting bulbs in mass beds - at least 50 at a time - to intensify their colors in the otherwise drab surroundings of late winter and early spring. Garden design evolves, however. and one Dutch landscape architect is acquiring an international following by freeing bulbs from their traditionally crowded and formalized settings. Jacqueline van der Kloet comes up with new tonal and structural combinations throughout the growing season by scattering a few wellchosen bulbs alongside perennials in random layouts. "Jacqueline's idea of liberating tulips and other bulbs from drifts is radical," said Sally Ferguson. spokeswoman for the Netherlands Flower Bulb Information Center at Danby, Yt. "Perennials become the bones. The underlying tulips. daffodils and others flesh out the early growth with their subtle colors.'' Bulbs - tulip bulbs, in ·particular - were relatively scarce for many years, until the advent of commercial gardens in Holland, where they were mass-produced anB began to be widely propagated and distributed. That's when you began to see gardeners planting them by hand bv the hundreds in "drifts'' or "swaths" to attract and direct the eye from one display to another through the garden. Recently. however. landscapers have begun designing bulb gardens with a more natural look, emulating. in part. the more solitary look of the bulb's origins in mountainous areas W of central Ac;1a. Mass plantings evolved "to planting bulbs in smaller clumps in perennial gardens, and now it's coming down to planting them wherever you want in flower gardens," said William Miller, a professor at the Cornell University Department of Horticulture. Van der Kloet's casual arranf!ements combine the pleasing with the practical. She uses bulbs for soft applications of color while the inter-planted perennials arc just beginning to peek up from the ground. The perennials. particularly broad-leafed varieties. grow quickly enough to helpft~lly screen the bulbs after they ve finished blooming. during the unattractive but necessary dieback period that gives bulbs enough energy to flower again the following spring. There is nothing calculated about the way van der Kloet shapes her bulb layouts. She mixes the bulbs up by color and variety in wheelbarrows. tosses them onto the ground as she walks. then plants them where they lie. Bulb size is an exception: She divides large bulbs from small by planting them in layers. "They do not mix that well," said van der Kloet. "So first, you mix the bigger bulbs (tulips, narcissus) and in the second round. you sprinkle the smaller ones (muscari. crocus) inbetwcen.'' She prefers bulb varietals with longevity. ''I hardly ever use bulbs that are not suitable for naturalizing or perennializing. The only thing is that if you suggest people use 'proven performers,' you also have to mention the maintenance - that it is important they get enough light after the flowering period, and that they should be left ih peace after the flowering period. No cutting down of withering leaves." Some additional suggestions built around her distinctive bulb-perennial' pairings: • Find an anchor. "To integrate bulbs in a natural set- This photo taken July 28 shows a bee collecting pollen from a Echinacea Purpurea ting. I think it is always nice in the "Seasonal Walkway" at the New York Botanical Garden in New York. • if there is an item in the area that can be highlighted by bulbs: a blanket of bulbs under a single tree or a number of trees that can. be connected to one another by a meandering ribbon of bulbs. Or a splash of bulbs in the turn of a pathway." · • Set a color scheme. "In natural areas. I would use softer colors, but also the light is important," van der Kloet said. "Bright colors are better in full sunlight, while softer colors" - such as pink, soft blue. lilac and creamish white - "are much more beautiful in dappled shade. The latter is true not only for bulbs but for perennials as well." • Plant for continuous color. "Succession is very important. That's whv I always choose a number of bulbs in a border. to make sure they follow one another." • Usc bulbs of the same species in large borders rather than adding bulbs from other species. to avoid "mixing up" the setting, she said.

There also is nothing \\TOng with adding native wildflov. ers to the mix. Sprinkling a species as common as cow parsley in among masses of multicolored tulips can evoke a meadow, van der Kloet said.
