REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT - The Village of Middleport's $5 million sewer improvement project has moved into the design phase, and the village is now completing the funding package necessary to complete it. The village has hired the engineering firm URS to design the improvements. which will address an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency mandate to separate the village's combined sanitary and storm sewers. The improvements would reduce overflow into the river to four or less events per year, capturing 85 percent of the volume of overflow discharges through increased conveyance and treatment of combined flows. Such overflows are a major cau.;c of water pollution and can have adverse effect on human health. the EPA has said. The EPA awarded a S141,000 !own-interest loan from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund for the planning stage, which is now completed. That planning work included a video inspection of the village's sewer system, and a close year-long monitoring of overflows into the Ohio River. The project's design and con- struction received $4 miUion in funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and village council, at Monday evening's regular meeting, approved a resolution authorizing Mayor Michael Gerlach to apply for loan funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission for the balance required to complete the project. The village has already received approval for a low-interest loan throu!!h the EPA's loan fund. Fiscal Officer Susan Baker said the project will cost the village close to $5 million to complete. Construction could take up to two years to complete once a contract is awarded. Council also: • Authorized the sale of the village's dumptruck to the Salisbury Township Trustees, at a cost of $4,000, and authorized Mayor Michael Gerlach, Fiscal Officen Susan Baker and Village Administrator Faymon Roberts to trade a dual-axle pickup and S 10 pickup for a smaller truck. • Hired Joel Lynch as a full-time police officer. • • Approved payment of bills in the amount of $43,998.53, and accepted the mayor's report of fees and fines collected in May, in the amount of $9,543.

Stout, curriculum director of the Gallja County Local Schools and a former principal, was one of several speakers congratulating the community and voters in the school district who supported passage of a 2005 bond issue. That bond issue made possible the new South Gallia, as well as a new River Valley High School and renovations to the elementaries. Stout filled in for Superintendent Dr. Charla Evans, who has been hospitalized for tests and was unable to attend the dedication. He relayed several thoughts from her, thanking the public for their support of the Quality Education for Quality Kids campaign that pushed for the bond issue's passage. She also recognized the backing of Holzer Clinic and Holzer Medical Center, each pledging $500.000 for the construction of science Jabs in the new schools. ''That kind of commitment speaks volumes to the people of Gallia County,'' Stout said. Stout announced that contractors on the South Gallia project have mformed officials they have yet to finish work on portions of the building. Students will start the new school year on Aug. 26 at the old South Gallia next door, and will move into the new structure when contractors turn over the keys to administrators.

Tim Niemenski started '·Our biggest thing with Lake, near Branson, Mo . their discover scuba class, COLUMBUS, (AP) - No one met Bob Woods at the St. Louis airport in 1971 when he came home from war, and he has never forgotten it. . No one visited Wayne Cox's mother in support while he, h •.s brother and his father were all in Vietnam in 1969. That : sttll bothers him. So at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Woods. 58. waited with his Harley-Davidson at a rest stop near the Ohio/Indiana border. A f~w hours later, Cox, 60, pulled into the Groveport Recreatton Center's parking lot on his motorcycle. Some soldiers were coming home to central Ohio. Woods, Cox and about a dozen other Patriot Guard Riders ·wanted those soldiers to know that this is a different aoe. v "We want to make sure that none of what happened to us happens to those guys," Woods, who lives near Cincinnati, had said the night before. "I. want th~m to know that the ~merican people are behmd them. Cox, of Lancaster, satd 20 minutes before the soldiers rolled into Groveport. The group that became the Patriot Guard Riders formed in Kansas and Missouri in 2005 to shield the families of service members from people picketing at their military funerals. Those picketers. members of a Kansas church, weren 't objecting to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; they ~ere welcoming American deaths as punishment for immorality. : . The first Patriot Guard Riders wanted to keep space between the picketers and the funerals. Because the church threatened to picket funerals across the country, Patriot Guard Rider membership spread to every state. There are now 4,600 riders in Ohio alone, said Woods, the state captain. . The riders' mission expanded, because those protests are threatened but often don't materialize. They will provide an escort at any deployment or homecoming ceremony. They'll also ride along at the funeral of any veteran. They come only if they are invited, Woods said. '. On Thursday, the riders had the Groveport homecoming, another in Dayton and an afternoon funeral in Dayton. Woods posts the schedule on www.ohio- pgr.org and trusts that riders in those areas will show up. Members don't have to be veterans, or even own a motor~ cycle. But Vietnam veterans are a kind of guiding spirit of , the group; the memory of how they were treated when they came home drives the way they treat the new veterans. "It's 95 percent of why I do this," Woods said. Woods and his crew waited at that rest stop for a bus carrying members of Ohio National Guard Company B, 2nd Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne), who were . returning from seven months in Afghanistan by way of :camp Atterbury, Ind. They would meet the bus at the state : line and lead it to Groveport. · In Groveport, where families waited for their soldiers, another contingent of riders stood with huge American flags as a kind of honor guard. Cox was there, along with two veterans from the 1950s and one from the 1970s. : Just before 1 p.m., the motorcycles pulled into view of : the Groveport Recreation Center, followed by the bus. The : families cheered. The riders parked their bikes and walked · back to the bus to watch the soldiers come out. "Daddy!" a boy yelled when the bus door opened. "Look at that," said Mike Farley, 50, a rider from l.ancaster, who held one of the big flags. ''I love it." . The 35 or so soldiers had helped train Afghan military :forces. They'd been on 274 patrols, in direct combat 27 •times. They hadn't seen their families in a long time. But · many of them, after hugging their wives and their kids, made a point of walking up to the Patriot Guard Riders, too. A sergeant came over to shake the riders' hands. So did his mother, wiping tears from her eyes. "Thank you so much," she said. "That was great." Bob Vogt, 56, of Columbus Grove in Putnam County, stood near the front of the bus with a few other riders. Maj. Larry Henry, the returning company commander, was bein~ tugged in all different directions -- it seemed every Qivihan there wanted a minute with him, to thank him for bringing the soldiers home safely. ~ But Henry made a point of walking over to Vogt and the others. . "Thank you ," he said to every one of them. . "It was a privilege," Vogt replied. • ,' diving as a pick-me-up. Now his scuba certification has him on top of the world . The former Parsons resident and Tucker County High School graduate recently received his certification as a scuba diver, apparently the first person to achieve that status after having a heart transplant. Mike Sass, who taught a diving class in Kansas City that included Niemenski and five others. has gone on numerous dives beginning a year after his transplant, but he was a certified diver all this is to show people that just because they had transplants. a transplant isn't a life sentence." Niemenski said. "You can go on and do anything you want to do. You can come back and live a completely normal life. 'T m going up through the ranks. and my goal is to teach other heart transplant recipients to scuba dive." The five men in Niemenski 's class also plan to get their certifications with open water dives, but the 39-year-old actually was the first, on July 9. He went He'd never scuba dived before his 2005 heatt transplant, but it seemed like a good idea afterward. "One of common things about transplant not really discussed a lot is depression," Niemenski said. ''It's a hard road, it really is. Men being men, we don't say nothing to anybody. We just go through." He said during an annual clinic visit he told the group about his depression. One of the cardiologists suggested the scuba diving experiment. "When I went into the they told Mike, 'You need to certify him now, he's got what it takes,' Niemenski recalled. "It gave me something to focus on and it's something I enjoy." The American Heal t Association already h written a story about tli class, and scuba magazines are following it as well. The Kansas City Star had a page one article early in the process that included a photo of Niemenski. No one knows about scuba diving's potential impacts on people who had organ transplants. SGHS State Rep. Clyde Evans, who presented a commendation from the Ohio House of Representatives; and Gallia County Commissioner Justin Fallon. Fallon told the students that he shares in their excitement when he recalls his feelings on entering the new Southwestern Elementary in 1985. "Congratulations to the parents and grandparents who showed they believe in of Gallia the future County," Fallon said. David Stiffler of the Gallia-Vinton Educational Service Center Governing Board sang the national anthem and South Gallia teacher Leda Harrison read aloud a poem, "Building Bridges," that fit the mood of the occasion. Musical selections were offered by the South Gallia and River Valley choirs under the direction of Cassandra Thompson. Invocation was by Tina Johnson, another member of the school's fac- ulty, and the benediction was by Pastor Raymond Witmer. Dedication of the new River Valley at Bidwell was held Saturday afternoon, and the new Gallia Academy High School at Centenary will be dedicated today at 2:30 p.m. A " Jamboree Game" football scrimmage to raise funds for new athletic . facilities at South Gallia and River Valley was held at the old RVHS Saturd. night. sented to Shannon Lyons, while the Donnie Hill Memorial Award was given to Nena Hunt.

"Josh." confided that his father has been \ erbally abusive since he was little. He also remembers his mom having bruises, but not in recctlt years. However. in the last couple of weeks. his dad has been getting worse. He comes home from work extremely angry and kicks his wife and wakes her up during the night to hit her. She is often crying when Josh comes home because she''s afraid to go to sleep. His dad tells them both that they are worthless and should kill themselves. Josh's mom won't leave because she doesn't have enough money and is very religious and believes marriage is forever. However. I know she is terrified to walk out because she thinks her husband will find her and beat or even kill her. Josh ·s mom is the nicest lady. but even I can see that she is scared. It's difficult for me to hug my crying boyfriend who is so worn down by his dad. He worries about leaving for college in the fall because he doesn 1t know what will happen to his mother.

Do not lift a finger to cook or clean for them. If you still can't take the stress, tell your husband he is welcome to take the chtldren to the cottage without you.

Legislature, state qfficials work to cut .spending The state's $50.5 billion, two-year operating budget that Governor Strickland signed last month included more than $2.4 billion in difficult, but necessary, spending cuts to state programs and services. Nearly every area of state government will share in the impact of these cuts, including the General Assembly and statewide officeholders. The House and Senate, for example, took a 10 percent cut in their general revenue fund appropriations over the amount proposed in the governor's as introduced version of the budget. As a result, the Senate will receive less money in fiscal year 20 I 0 than it did in fiscal year J997. In addition, both chambers routinely spend less than they were allocated and return money at the end of each fiscal year. In July 2008. House and Senate leaders returned more than $2.7 million to state coffers. The Senate is working to John Carey save money in several ways, including increased use of electronic records, reductions in mileage reimbursement rates, a prohibition on travel reimbursements and the implementation of a new Internet-based phone system that has reduced the Senate's phone bill from $114,000 a year to about $10,000. The House has also worked to reduce costs by consolidating staff duties. Furthermore, no legislator has received a pay increase and staff in both chambers will not get raises in the coming year.

This issue affects every American and is key to putting our country on the path to long-term economic stability. I'm pleased that we have more time. However, a Jot of groups are using this time to spend millions of dollars to spread harmful myths designed to confuse and frighten you. I'd like to set the record straight on a few of the myths I hear the most. l. Reforming health care will not lead to out of control deficit spending. The bill is paid for. Half of the bill is paid for in health care sector savings and half through a new surcharge on the richest I percent of Americans. Doing nothing, however, will lead to bigger deficits that will eat our budget alive. 2. This legislation will not insure illegal aliens. Here is the exact language in the bill: "Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States." 3. This legislation will not create a governroent-run health care system. If you have employer-based private health care, and you like it, keep it. It wll remain private and you will keep your doctors. If you are a senior on Medicare, or are lower-income and currently receive your health care through Medicaid, your coverage will also stay the same. However, if you don't work or if your employer Joesn 't offer health care coverage, you will be eligible for the health insurance exchange. The exchange will include several private options and a public option. Current Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates project that more than 80 percent of participants in the exchange will choose one of the private options. However, the presence of a public option will be good for competition. It will establish minimum coverage standaTds and prevent private insurers from excluding those with preexisting conditions or dropping the sick from their rolls. 4. There is nothing in the bill that will lead to rationing health care. Currently, insurance companies make many major health decisions. This bill puts that important power in your hands and your doctors' hands. In other words, insurance companies will no longer be able to ration care by retroactively canceling policies when patients become sick or refuse to cover important servtces. 5. Offering a public insurance option, as just one of the choices available to consumers, will not crowd out employer-based coverage. However, if we do nothing and costs continue to rise, more employers will be forced to drop coverage. If we reform the system and contain costs, which will help employers. they'll keep offering coverage iin order to compete for good work- ers in competitive labor doctor and a patient choose market. to have a conversation 6.

Asian companies see Cash for Clunkers boost WASHINGTON (AP) - Asian automakers have increased their share of sales under the $3 billion Cash for Clunkers auto rebate program. according to data released day by the federal government. ight of the top-10-selhng vehicles are made by Japanese South Korean companies. with the Toyota Corolla claiming the top spot as the most popular car in the tradein program. Toyota Motor Corp. also overtook General Motors Co. with the greatest share of sales under Cash for Clunkers. which offers consumers discounts of $3,500 or $4,500 for trading in older vehicles for more fuel-efficient new models. The only two vehicles made by American manufacturers on the list of top sellers were the Ford Focus and the Ford Escape. The Focus had held the top spot early on in the program. which officially began July 27. but it has since slid to No.3. Cash for Clunkers was designed to boost the sagging sales of American automakers and take vehicles with low fuel economy off the road. It has already burned through half of the $3 billion set aside by Congress during the three weeks it has been up and running. The latest figures show that it has jump-started sales for Detroit's Big Three companies - General Motors. Ford and Chrysler. But it has also been a boon for foreign automakers. Government data shows that 54 percent of the top 10 vehicles were manufactured domestically. Many foreign brands, including the Toyota Corolla, are made at American plants. But Asian companies like Toyota. Honda, Nissan and Hyundai all saw their shares of total Cash for Clunker sales grow since the last time the government provided data on . 5. General Motors. Ford and Chrysler all had slightly r shares of total sales. I of the top trade-ins were made by American .automakers, a likely sign of Detroit's fondness for gas guzzhng trucks and SUVs over the past two decades. The Ford. Explorer four-wheel-drive remained the most popular trade-rn. The fuel economy of vehicles bought under Ca~h for Clunkers dipped slightly to 25 miles per gallon. whlie the mileage of trade-ins stood at 15.8 miles per gallon. That represented a 58 percent improvement in ~uel economy between vehicles purchased and those traded m under Cash for Clunkers. The program is most popular in California. where $152 million worth of rebates have been submitted. t ~unbap \Ctmr~ -~rntinrl • Page As. ) WASHINGTON (AP) A deal with Switzerland settling U.S. demands for the names of suspected tax dodgers from a Swiss bank has a lot of wealthy Americans with offshore accounts nervously running to their tax advisers - and the Internal Revenue Service. ''They are very frightened," said Richard Boggs, chief executive of Nationwide Tax Relief, a Los-Angeles-based tax firm that specializes in clients with tax debts exceeding $100,000. "You have the super rich who are not used to being pushed around and they are finding themselves in unfamiliar territory." The U.S. and Swiss governments announced a court settlement last week in efforts by the IRS to force Zurich-based UBS AG to turn over the names of some 52,000 Americans believed to be hiding nearly $15 billion in assets in secret accounts. Justice Department and UBS lawyers told a federal judge in Miami in a brief conference call Wednesday they had initialed a final deal. But they did not disclose any details. such as how many of the 52.000 names sought by the IRS will be revealed. Even before the settlement. the high-profile case - coupled with other U.S. efforts to go after Americans hiding undeclared assets - has scared hundreds of tax dodgers to turn themselves in. Boggs said his firm has been taking on I00 ne\\ cases a month, a big increase over previous years. Peter Zeidenberg. a litigation partner at the law firm DLA Piper in Washington. said he. too. is he seeing more people with undeclared assets seeking information about their legal options. His advice: "I don't think you have much of a choice but to come forward .... I think the landscape is permanently changed." The IRS long has had a policy that certain tax evaders who come forward before they are contacted by the agency usually can avoid jail time as long as they agree to pay back taxes, interest and hefty penalties. Drug dealers and money launderers need not apply. But if the money was earned legally, tax evaders can usually avoid criminal prosecution. In March, the IRS began a six-month amnesty program that sweetened the offer with reduced penalties for people with undeclared assets. IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said the response has been unprecedented. Shulman wouldn't say how many people have applied so far. But the IRS said 400 people applied to voluntarily disclose undeclared assets in a single week in July. compared with fewer than 100 applications all last year. The amnesty program, which ends Sept. 23. is part of a larger effort by federal authorities to crack down on international tax evaders. "Each time someone walks through the door with a disclosure. we get more information. We get more information about other people. We get more information about other financial institutions," Shulman said. "If people have been hiding assets in the past. they should be nervous. and they should be a lot more suspect about doing it in the future."

(AP)Tiger Woods watched the last of his three straight bird1es take one last turn and drop into the cup. Walking toward the hole. he nodded his head and dangled his tongue out of the side of his mouth. a s\vaggcr that spoke volumes. is on top of his game at PGA Championship, and nows it. In blustery conditions and on bumpy greens. Woods made key par putts early in his round and big birdies toward the end for a 2-under 70 that gave him a four-shot lead in the final major the year. The late string of birdies came in the final hour Friday at Hazeltine. and it changed everything. The final birdie putt gave this major that look of inevitability, with some frightening figures to back it up. Woods is 8-0 in the majors when leading after 36 holes. He has never lost an) tournament when leading by four shots going into the weekend. Of the top 16 players going into the second round. he was the only player to break par. "In order to have a lead in ajor championship, you 't be playing poorly,'' • said Woods, who was at 7under 137. ''And all the times that I've been in this position, I have played well. And I'm playing well now." Padraig Harrington. who tried to keep pace and hit one shot that Woods called one of the best he had e\·er seen. was asked after staggering to a 73 whether a four-shot lead was different when it belonged to the world's J\o. I player. "What do you think?" the Irishman said. grinning. "That's self-evident. We're all well aware of his ability to lead in the front. He gets better from the front. 1 think he likes that position." ' Woods was four shots clear of five players who have their work cut out for them. Vijay Singh (72), U.S. Open champion Lucas ver (70) and Brendan es (70). the Australian • om Woods beat in his return to competition in February at :vtatch Play. all played in the morning. Harrington and Ross f<isher, who closed with tv.:o bogeys for a 68 to become the third player to fall out of the lead. had to cope with the fierce conditions of the afternoon. It was Woods' largest 36hole lead in a major since he led by five in the 2005 British Open at St. Andrews. ''I mean, yes, Tiger is the greatest golf I think we've ever seen." Fisher said. "But at the end of the day. he's just like me and )OU. He's just a human being. He just or happens to be damn good at golf. So we· ve got to work really. really hard to try and compete with him Woods and catch him.'' Woods has not lost a 36hole lead on the PGA Tour in five years. dating to the Byron Nelson when he was revamping his swing. He came to Hazeltine having won his last two tournaments, hO\vever. and appears to be hitting his stride. His finishing kick Fridav was particularly impressive. He avoided his second bogey in three holes \vith a 12-foot par save at No. 12, missed a birdie opportunity to take the lead on the 13th, then poured it on. The tees on the 352-yard 14th hole were moved up, giving players the option of trying to drive the green. At only 299 with the wind in their favor, it wasn't much of a choice. Woods flushed his 3wood onto the green and just onto the fringe, nearly holing the eagle putt. On the par-5 15th. he hit 3-wood through the green and chipped to tap-in range to widen the lead. Then came the 16th. and a 20-foot birdie that allowed Woods to seize control as he goes for a record-tying fifth title at the PGA Championship. ''His game looked solid again today." Harrington said after playing with Woods for the third straight round. dating to Sunday at Firestone when Woods overcame a three-shot deficit to beat him. "I think he's in a good position. The reason he's a good frontrunner is he can pick and choose his shots. and he's not been pushed into shots that he doesn't have to hit. And he's ver) good at that." Harrington faced one of those shots. and it was a dandy. Trying to get back into the !!arne at the 15th. his ball on slope in the bunker. Harrington thought the slope \Vould help him reach the green. and he pounded a 3-wood that was perfect. It stopped 15 feet from the cup. Woods called it one of the best shots he had ever seen. "worth the price of admission." "He did say to me actually he would have paid to have seen it," Harrington said. "So I asked him for 50 bucks.'' Woods gave nothing to anyone at Hazeltine - not even himself. "There's a long wa) to go." he said. a Still. it was the first time Woods has opened a major with consecutive round~ under par since the 2006 PGA at i\ledinr.h. He \\ill be paired in the final group Saturday with Singh, one of his many rivab. They have not played together since the opening t\VO rounds at ;he Deutsche Bank Classic in 2007. and not in a major since the first two rounds of the 2004 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. which Singh won for his third major. "Tomorrow. you position yourself." Woods said. "You have to make sure you're there and in position, and I know Vijay isn't going to make a lot of mistakes. He doesn't. He's going to be verv consistent." Adozen players from nine countries remained under par going into the weekend. five of them major champions. The group included Ernie Els. who rebounded with a 68 despite again missing a half-dozen birdie chances inside 8 feet. Woods built his lead with birdies at the end. Equally important were pars throughout his round. He made back-to-back 6foot par putts. the latter after hitting into the bunker on the par-3 fourth, and regained control with a birdie from 20 feet on the sixth and a chip to 4 feet for birdie on the par-5 seventh. Then came the struggle. After a three-putt bogey from 70 feet on the lOth, he had to scramble for par on the I I th by making a tricky 4-footer. then followed that by gomg from the right rough through the 12th green. an average chip and a 12-foot par that felt just as good as some of his birdies. "1 could have easily shot a couple over par," he said. "But I turned it into an under par round." Not so for Phil Mickelson. playing his first major since the U.S . Open while missing most ot the summer as his wife and mother battle breast cancer. Lefty again struggled on the greens, partkularly the ~hort putts that could have kept his round going. He wound up with a 74 for the second straight day. the first time he has failed to shoot par or better in the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship. Only late in the day. as the greens turned bumpy. did he make the cut on the number at 4over 148. ''I'm not going to beat many people putting the way I am," Mickelson said. ''I've got to get this thing turned around."' for Woods. he again is headed in the right direction. ~ll~NEAPOLIS (AP) The Minnesota Twins· chances of winning the AL Central get slimmer each day. But on Friday night. Scott Baker and Jason Kubel provided a little bit of hope. Baker pitched a two-hitter. Kubel homered and had live RBis and the Minnesota Twins beat the Cleveland Indians 11-0. Could this be the spark the Twins need to finally make a move in the division? ··1 sure hope so:· Kubel said. ''1 think we're all still thinking positive. We all know we're still in this. Until we're done. it's not going to feel like we're out of it." Baker. who faced three batters above the minimum, recei\'ed plentv of support from Kubcl and Joe .Mauer as the Twins pounded out J2 hits and chased Justin Masterson (3-4) after just 3 1-3 innings. Kubel and Mauer each had three hits. "Great pitching performance. Baker had all his pitches working for him," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "You could see it real early in the ballgame. Just a great performance by him.'' The Twins were unable to gain ground on the Tigers, however, as Detroit beat the Kansas City Royals and remain five games m front of Minnesota. The Twins did most of their daf!lage in the fomth inning, taking advantage of an error and two walks to score six runs. Joe Crede reached on an error to start the inning and scored on Alexi Cas ilia ·s blooper do\m the right-field line. ~Iauer. Kubel and Michael Cuddyer drove in the other runs. Mauer extended his hitting streak to 11 games and raised his league-leading batting average to .375. Kubel hit a two-run homer in the sixth and drove in five runs for the third time this season.

"I felt strong. lr isn't like anything physically felt wrong, r just couldn't put the ball where it was supposed to be and that's unf01tunate.''

But on Friday he struck out five and needed just 94 pitches in the gem. Baker said his poor outing against Detroit provided no extra motivation against Cleveland. "That was the farthest thing from my mind,'' he said. "To cwTy my last start into this statt would bt: detrimental. I've learned that over the years through experience." Cle\cland has lost three straight, scoring just one run in the three games. A bad night got worse for the Tribe when manager Eric Wedge was ejected after an animated argument with home-plate umpire Bob Davidson in the sixth inning. Davidson originally ruled that Justin Morneau foultipped strike three into the glove of catcher Kelly Shoppach. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire argued that the ball hit the dirt first and :-.howcd Davidson the ball as evidence. Da' idson agreed with Gardenhire, bringing an angry Wedge out to arg~e. Wedge and Davidson yelled at each other nose-tonose at home plate for about 30 seconds after the manger was tossed. ~ "It was such a bad call.

His throwing arm, however. felt fine. and the numbe~s he put up in a short ttme bode well for Cincinnati's passing game. Playing for the first time since an elbow injury sidelined him early l<tst season. Palmer completed seven of II passes for 133 yards in the Bengals' 17-7 loss to New Orleans on Friday night in the preseason opener for both teams. "I feel good," Palmer said. "A little rusty .... We've got to keep working and get the rust off." Palmer left the game late in the first quarter. moments after his quick sideline thnnv to Chad Ochocinco produced a 55yard gain. Palmcr was playing with a mild left ankle sprain by that point, but said the injury was minor and that he hoped it would not prevent him from practicing next week. He was more concerned with his one mistake in the game. an interception by Jonathan Vilma. "I've got a lot of work to do and I don't ~ant to miss any time. so ~e'll see what happens." he said. Jeremy Shockey caught his first touchdown pass as a Saint. a 22-yarder between two defenders from Drew Brees. Mark Brunell also threw a scoring pass for the Saints. a 64-yarder to Robert Meachem.

"I love what I've seen out of Jeremy this offseason and throughout training camp and I think that we arc reall) starting to get on the same page." Reggie Bush played early, but had only three carries for 5 yards. Palmer missed 12 games during Cincinnati's 4-11-1 2008 season because of a partially torn ligament and tendon in his passing elbow. He could have opted for reconstructive surgery. but chose to see if it would heal on its own. On his first-play. he slightly underthrew a deep pass, allowing safety Roman Harper to knock the ball out of Ochocinco's hands. Palmer's next throw was on the money, though, as he fou nd Chris Henry in a seem between the Saints' short and deep coverages for a 27-yard gain.

"I became really interested in the history of Oak Hill," Weddington said. She was impressed with the photos that showed Oak Hill as a booming town, and it made her want to learn even more. "It was really awesome," Weddington said. At one time, Oak Hill had a grocery store, several restaurants, a pharmacy, several family-owned businesses, a train depot and several other landmarks, Weddington said. is also Weddington minoring in photography at Rio Grande, so she decided to take photos all around Oak Hill. She then compared the new photos with the historic photos of the village for her exhibit. Ohio has seen a number of droughts in the past 100 years, including ones in 1930, 1934, 1952, 1963, 1988 and I 999. The rainfall in the entirety of 1934 was 12 inches below normal. That record wm; matched in 1963. The drought of 10 years ago may have been one of the most damaging for Gallia County, though. In most of the other droughts . the problem was pretty widespread across the country. But in 1999, the worst hit areas were southern Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. So not only did Gallia farmers lose production, but since adequate rainfall came to the rest of the U.S .. supplies went up. thus pushing prices lower. Soybeans sold for $6.47 in I 997, but in 1999, many bushels were sold at $4. Corn in 1999 went from $1.95 down to $1.65. Corn was selling in I 997 at $2.43 per bushel. We also note that Gallia farmers who had t9 buy hay to feed to their animals had to pay top dollar. The demand for hay was higher that year than most other years. Rainfall between April I and Aug. 15 (critical growing season) in Gallia was off by 8 inches, which is probaly the record. In 1934, those months produced 7 inches of rain below the norm. When the Cincinnati Enquirer did a big story on Gallia farming, the ground was as hard as a rock. That piece was printed on Aug. 8, 1999, and made mention that despite the Gallia County Junior Fair going on the preceding week, there was a big cattle auction at the nearby Producers Livestock building. Circumstances dictated this first ever event during Fair Week. The auction lasted six hours. Buyers came from as far away as Oklahoma and Jowa. Most, however, were from northern Ohio counties not affected by that year's drought. Some area farmers told of having to plant alfalfa three times before it would come up. Some 30 percent of the hay, corn and soybeans in southeastern Ohio was lost and the crops that did make it would have reduced yields. That Enquirer piece told that Gallia was the ninth poorest county in the state and that the average Gallia farmer had 140 acres and made about $17,000 a year. Auctioneer Todd Woodruff said that he could see distress in the eyes of farmers bringing their cattle in for the auction. "A lot of these fellows have had to sell off everything. There is nothing to feed." Some of the cattle farmers were feeling lucky just to get 90 cents a pound for their cattle, considerably less than the market value elsewhere. One farmer. Robert Jenkins, said, ''Whatever you can get. you get. You might get next to nothing. You never know:· On July 4 in 1999. it was I03 here and it stayed in the 90s most of July and August. The first 10 days in June had even seen temperatures over 90 as well. While the Gallia County Rural Water system was able to hold its own that year. people in places in Guyan and Perry townships (not on county water) suffered. Guyan Township Trustee Roger Watson said on Aug. 18, 1999, " I wonder if people really understand how bad this situation is. This isn't a political thing. It's about getting help to people who need it." It was so bad that water had to be brought in so that persons in those two townships could have drinking ...~: -----------------------.

We also note that un. ployment was about I 0 cent that summer in southe Ohio. As in most reces~ions, southern Ohio was ahead of the nation in feeling the effects of a coming recession that would finally hit the rest of the country in 2000. Emergency programs were set up to help small businesses who depended on farm related trade to get 4 percent loans. Farmers too were eligible for loans, but many of them already had loans they couldn't pay. back as it was. They had to pass and just get out of farming. The joke going around was that a fanner who had 'NOn a million dollars in the lottery was asked hO\v he would spend it. and he said that he intended to keep farmmg until his million was all gone.

The 2009 United States h~stitute for Theatre Technology (USITT) Costut:ne Sympo~JUm ~rov~dcd the opportunity for costume des1gn professiOnals m h1ghcr education from across the United States to learn about and create reticulated foam and Varafom1 creatures. Workshops during the three-day event included sculpting. adapting patterns and assembling thcrm6plast and foam creatures. "These 41 brave gals and guys have worked their little buns off making donkeys and rabb.its and many creatures, and they have been troopers." said Holly Cole, an Ohio University professor of costume design and co-chair of the symposium along with Staff Costumer David Russell. "They learned how to approach the patterning. deal with the assembly and the cutout and all the other wacky stuff that comes when working with these materials." Participants divided t~eir time b~tween transforming stacks of paper and foam mto express1ve donkey heads and carving blocks of hard foam into rabbit head molds for the thennoplast material. Foam and Varaform are often viewed as intimidating materials by individuals accustomed to the eas) drapability of fabrics. "It's a mini 'master class.'" Cole said. "These are materi~ als commonly used on Broadway and in the television industry. Some of them Me pricey and some of them are not. but the techniques are things that will help people develop costume craft p01tfolios. which are a means of getting jobs. I think most of (the participants) came because they really enjoy finding out how to make these creatures and also to . one up on skills they can take back to their students." • In addition to improving their skills, some participants were drawn to the symposium because of Cole's distinguished reputation in costume design and technologies. Cole and Russell presented a mini-workshop at another USIIT event. which led to the annual symposium being hosted by Ohio University. "Part of the reason some of us are here is because (Holly Cole) is exceptionally good at this, and so the chance to learn this from her is a pretty good deal," said Kevin McCluskem, assistant professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg. Va. The symposium explored a variety of approaches in designing creature costumes and simple rigging tricks that · make the creature~ seem to come alive. "We get to take away not only what we've learned here - which (is infonnation) we didn't know or adds to what we already know - but also different ways of thinking about the materials and different ways to rethink what we already do," McCluskem said. Each participant received a detailed workbook illustrating step-by-step development processes, basic patterns for creating donkey heads and puppets, and a DVD that details the development processes in action.

The II girls all come from Ames. Iowa. and now live in eight different s. They have yearly rs and stay in touch phone and e-mail through the year. These girls. now become women. formed bonds of friendship in their childhoods and youth. One of the girls died mysteriously, falling from a building in her early 20s. so now there are 10. Author Zaslow co-wrote The Last Lecture. a bestseller about the life and death of a college professor. a bit like Tuesdays With Morrie. He took a leave from writing his column in the Wall Street Journal to research this book. There are photographs to help you identify each of the girls. Their lives have taken very different turns. Some are stay-at-home mothers. some never married. one is an assistant dean at the University of Maryland ool of Medicine. Another make-up a11ist who has • met Michael Jackson. Sting and Madonna. Some of the women are conservative: then there is Kelly. who left her husband Beverly Gettles for another man and is the most free-spirited of the group. She is a high-school teacher in Minnesota, and the friends rallied around her when she found she had breast cancer. Diana. the beauty of the "Girls from Ames," had a successful career, but now enjoys working at Starbucks. Marilyn's father was the town's beloved pediatrician, and her older brother died in an auto accident before she was born. The first child born to the "girls" was Karla's Christie. She died of leukemia at the age of 14. a devastating blow to her family and friends. All of the girls rallied behind Christie and her mother and helped in any way they could during her long illness. Zaslow examines the bonds of friendship for women and how helpful and healthy those bonds can be. Lt is truly amazing that ten such individuals can maintain their friendship through distance and divorce, through parenting and patience, with deep caring and concern for one another. T hope each person reading this has at least one close friend. Nothing in life can be more satisfying. It takes time, but the rewards are endless. John Hart's first novel, The King of Liars. tells of a small-town lawyer with a powerful and cold lawyer father who used people and made a fortune. That father disappeared 18 months ago and has just been found, shot twice in the head, in an abandoned mall scheduled for demolition. Jackson Workman Pickens, "WorK," the son. becomes a suspect when the will names him the recipient of $15 million. Work has a lover, a woman he met many years ago. and a social-climbing wife. There is also a nasty DA and Work's mentally ill sister, who has taken up with a woman with a dubious past. This one is a page-tumer and a thriller. and I guessed the wrong person as the father's murderer. If you like a good mystery, as I said after reading Harts other two books, you will like these. Hart. a former defense attorney, knows his way around the legal system. Franklin Delano Rooseve\1 took office as president pf the United States in 1933, the country was in the middie of the Great Depression. Thousands of people were out of work in every city across the United States and Roosevelt formed the Works Progress Administration that hired millions of people to work on roads, bridges and schools. A very small part of the WPA project was for artists. writers, musicians and actors. Travel guides documenting American life were created for the Federal Writers' Project. The writers told America's story with local history, culture, and interviews with local people for travel guides and state guides they produced. Writers like Studs Terkel. Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Nelson Algren, Ralph Ellison, Eudora Welty, John Cheever and Jim Thompson created a permanent record of life during that era in American history. Some writers went on to win National Book Awards and the Pulitzer Prize. At its peak, the project employed more than 6.600 people in 48 states. The project was considered the largest cultural experiment in U.S. history. Writers interviewed former slaves and recorded the life histories of citizens all across America.

U.S. farmers successfully battled soggy July weather and rc~ain _on target for producing the largest soybean crop m history, accordmg to the Crop Production report. released on Aug. 12. 2009, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). ·'SC?y~ean production is forecast at a record-high. ~-2 b1lhon bushels, up 8 percent from last year. Yield 1s t!xpeclt'd tu average 41.7 bushels per acre, up 2.1 bushels per acre from 2008. If realized. this will be the fourth largest soybean yield on record. "Corn production is forecast at 12.8 billion bushels, up 5 percent from last year, but down 2 percent from the 2007 record. Based on conditions as of Aug. l. yields are expected to average 159.5 bushels per acre. up 5.6 bushels from last year. If realized, this will be the second highest yield on record. Growers are expected to harvest 80 million acres of com for grain. down 100,000 acres from June. but up 2 percent from last year. "Winter wheat production is forecast at 1.54 billion bushels. up I percent from the July 1 forecast, but down 18 percent from 2008. Based on August l conditions. the U.S. yield is forecast at 44.2 bushes per acre. up from last month. but 3 bushels below last year. Harvest in 18 major producing states was 85 percent complete by August 2. "The August Crop Production report contains National Agricultural Statistics Service's (NASS) first estimates of yield and production for corn, soybeans and other spring-planted row crops. Nearly 28,000 producers in major producing states, which usually account for about 7 5 percent of the U.S. production, were interviewed to obtain probable yield. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields." The Crop Production report is published monthly and is available online at www.nass.usda.gov. ~s ••• Are you interested in improving your farm's feltility level, decreasing your farm's noxious weeds, and controlling some insect and disease pests?

Sign-up set for stewardship program COLUMBUS The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) began continuous sign-up for the new Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) on Aug. lO in Ohio. The first cut-off for ranking purposes is scheduled for Sept. 30, State Conservationist Terry Cosby announced. "The Conservation Stewardship Program changed dramatically in the 2008 Farm Bill,'' said Cosby. "NRCS took the time to develop a program that would appeal to our diverse customers and offer them an equal chance to participate. We hope that agricultural and forestry producers in Ohio take full advantage of the benefits this newly revised program offers." The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) authorized the Conservation Program. Stewardship Congress renamed and former revamped the Conservation Security Program completely to improve its availability and appeal to agricultural and forestry producers. The Conservation Stewardship Program will be offered in all 50 states. the District of Columbia. and the Pacific and Caribbean areas through continuous sign-ups with announced cut-off application dates for ranking periods. The maximum annual enrollment is capped at nearly 12.8 million acres nationwide. NRCS administers CSP, a voluntary conservation program designed to encourage agricultural and forestry producers to adopt additional conservation practices and improve, maintain and manage existing ones. To apply for the newly revamped CSP. individual producers, legal entities and Indian tribes will be encouraged to use a self-screening checklist first to determine whether the new program is suitable for them or their operation. The checklist is available on www.oh.nrcs.usda.gov and at NRCS field offices. After the self-screening, the producer's current and proposed conservation activities are entered in the conservation measurement tool (CMT). This tool estimates the level of environmental performance to be achieved by a producer implementing and maintaining conservation activities. The conservation performance estimated by the CMT will be used to rank applicatiOns. A producer must treat at least one resource concern and one priority resource concem during the length of the CSP's five-year contract. Ohio has selected water quality, soil quality, and plants as the three priority resource concems, one of the criteria that will be used to rank applications. Ohio has established three ranking pools to rank appli- Poultry growers in Va., W.Va. band together HARRISONBURG. Va. (AP) - An association of poultry growers in Virginia and West Virginia is looking for new members in an effort to gain more clout with companies and a larger say in regulation of the industry. President Mike Weaver of Fort Seybert, W.Va., says the Contract Poultry Growers Association of the Virginias has about 100 members, mostly from eastem West VIrginia, but more are needed. ':l Weaver says about 1,400 growers work in the two states. The association was formed two years ago in response to increasing propane costs. Martin French, vice president of the association for Virginia, says the group's scope has broadened as growers seek to negotiate prices with companies and have a say in legislation and regulations affecting the industr;. cations with similar resource concerns. the Western Lake Erie Basin. Appalachian and a general pool for the remainder of the state. NRCS field staff will conduct on-site field verifications of pre-approved applicants' information provided for the CMT. Another major change in the program is the method of payments. CSP will offer two possible types of payments - annual and supplemental. The annual payment will be established using the conservation performance estimated by the CMT and calculated by land use type for enrolled eligible land. A supplemental payment is also available to participants who also adopt a re~ource-conserving crop rotatiOn. The annual payment limitation for a person or legal entity is $40.000. A person or legal entity cannot exceed $200,000 for all contracts entered into during any five-year period. Individual producers. legal entities and Indian tribes must meet several requirements to obtain a Conservation Stewardship Program contract. The) must be listed as the operator in the USDA farm records management system for the operation being offered for enrollment. They must document that they control the land for the term of the contract a. include all eligible land their entire opei·ation in tl contract. They must comply with highly erodible land and wetland conservation provisions and comply with Adjusted Gross Income provisions. Eligible lands include cropland. grassland. prairie . improved pastureland. nonindustrial private forestland - a new land use for the program - and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tiibe. Land enrolled in the Security Conservation Program, Conservation Reserve Program, Grasslands Reserve Program and Wetlands Reserve Program are ineligible for the new Conservation Stewardship Program.
