The water trail utilizes and existing launch ramp owned by the village for stream access. Usc of the water trail is free, although people will need their own watercraft. . The intent is to open up that part of Leading Creek to recreational kayaking and canoeing: the Leading Creek Water Trail is also directly tied to the Ohio River creating the potential for greater recreational potential. The watt::.r trail is the result of a partnership between the Village of Middlepor1. the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District and community residents. The signs pointing the way to the marina were purchased through community outreach funding secured by the Meigs SWCD from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "The Village of Middleport and SWCD have the same goals for the Leading Creek Watershed,'' said village Mayor Michael Gerlach. "The water trail is just one aspect of a joint effort to improve the area. "The water trail attracts people to Middleport.

"As far as the SWCD b concerned. the water trail provides an opportunity for outreach and education about Leadmg Creek and the Leading Creek watershed, and hopefully gives the community a personal stake in stream health.

Store matches and lighters out of children's reach and sight, up high, preferably in a locked cabmet. Preschoolers and kindergartners are most likely to start these fires, typically by playing with matches and lighters, and are most likely to die in them Never use lighters or matches as a source of amusement for children; they may im1tate you. If your child expresses curiosity about fire or Has been playing with fire, calmly but firmly explain that matches and lighters are tools for adults only. Fctcts & figures In 2006, children playing with fire started an estimated 14,500 structure fires that were reported to U.S. fire departments, causmg an estimated 130 civilian deaths, 810 civilian injuries and $328 million in direct property damage. Use only lighters designed with childresistant features. Remember childresistant does not mean child proof. Teach young children and school-age children to tell an adult if they see matches or lighters. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of all fatal victims of fires by playing are children 5 years old and younger. Never leave matches or lighters In a bedroom or any place where children may go Without supervision. Nearly two out of every three child-playing fires - and four out of five assoc1ated deaths and injunes - mvolve matches or lighters. If you suspect your child is intentionally setting fires or unduly fascmated with fire, get help. Your local fire department, school, or community counseling agency can put you In touch w1th trained experts • The Items ignited by home fire-play are principally mattresses, bedding or clothmg.

Report: States are not boosting aid for schools Bv L IBBY Q uAID - The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ASSOCIATED PRESS EDUCATION An internal watchJog at the Education Department says states are using money from the economic stimulus to plug budget holes instead of boosting aid for schools: President Barack Obama did not intend for state lawmakers to simply cut state education spending and replace it with stimulus dollars. But Congress made that tough to enforce, and the Education Department's inspector general said in a memo Thursday that some state!> are doing it. That menno; instead of getting ext_ra help to weather tough tunes, school dtstricts and colleges could v. ind up \Vith the same level of state aid or with cuts, even as local tax revenues plummet.

Ten years ago: An 11linois jury ordered State Farm to pay $456 million to 4.7 million l:Ustomers in a clas~-act1on lawsuit accusing the nation's largest car insurer of u~ing inferior parts for auto body repa1rs. (Four days later, the judge ruled State Farin had committed fraud, and awarded $730 million in actual and punitive damages on top of the jury verdict.

Part of that was a $40 billion fund to stabilized state and local budgets. Nearly three-quarters of the $40 billion stabilization fund has already been awarded. But as the bill made its way through Congress. lawmakers decided not to p. hibit states from using t stabilization money to replace precious state aid for schooh. They required states to maintain spending on K -12 schools and colleges but only at 2006 le\els. which allowed most states to make significant cuts to education. That flexibility "may be leading to a reduction in state support for public education." the inspector general said. The inspector general recommended the depattment create a system to track state spending on K-12 and college education and to make sure states have kept up spending level~; as required in the stimulus.

October. however, is tra· ditionally a slow month for sales. On top of that. shoppers are guarding their wallets. wonied about keeping their jobs in a fragile economy. The question remains whether dealers can really lure them back and help the industry recover over the remainder of the year. Higher incentives diJn 't shake buyers from their September slumber. Automakers spent an average of $2 ~57 per vehicle in the U.S.. up $83 from Augus_t. according to the auto Web stte Edmunds.com. "After five straight months of decline, incentives are on the ri~e again,'' Edmunds analyst Jessica Caldwell said. "Now that Cash for Clunkers is over, automakers have to give consumers an incentive to buy - out of their own pockets, not the taxpayers'." Ford Motor Co.'s sales fell 5. I percent, but the decline followed two straight months of rising sales. Two of the Dearborn, Mich. company's vehicle<> the Focus and Escape were top sellers in the clunkers program. General Motors Co.'s sales plunged 45 percent while Chrysler Group LLC's fell 42 percent. The weak results continued a string of monthly sales drops for the troubled pair. Now the question is whether their governmentfunded n:covery plans are working. Sales fell in every GM division. Saturn led the way with an astounding 84 percent decline in September. the same month GM announced plans to aholish the brand after its sale to former race-car driver Roger Penske collapsed. "It was a more difficult month than we anticipated," said Mark LaNeve, GM's vice president of U.S. sales. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Treasury Department. which has provided roughly S65 billion to keep GM and Chrysler going, would not comment L'll the sales figures. Most automakers reported low inventories durin!! Scptcmbcr but said produc": tion increases were starting to replenish them. GM's LaNeve said last month ~ales were compared with a strong September in 2008 when GM offered employee disc.ounts to C\cry customer m celebration of its IOOth birthday. With easier comparisons. October will show better results. • He said the comp· could have had stronger September sales but it was struggling to keep up with demand for newly launched vehicles such as the Buick LaCrosse sedan, Chevrolet Camaro sports car. and the Chevrolet Equinox crossover vehicle. GM could have sold 10,000 to ri,ooo more car and light trucks had it been able to get them to dealers in September. Japan ':s Toyota Motor Corp. said sales fell 13 percent while Nissan Motor Co. sard its sales eased 7 percent. Honda's sales dropped 20 percent. Tovota blamed its sales drop'on low stocks, and also said it was contident of a recovery through the rest of the year. Automakers also reported that luxury car sales were sta11ing to show life. anot er sign of recovery. Toyot Lexus line saw a I 2 perce t sales increase in September, which the company attributed to several new model launches . Last month's sales, if projected for an entire year. dropped to 9.2 million vehicles, fur less than the clunker-fueled 14.1 million reported in August. according to Autodata Corp. �_______ .._-----~-~-~~.--- ----- Sunday, October 4 , ~-·- ____________ ____, sun'f:l«v ([unrs -iS>rntinrl • Page As Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis 2009 Obituaries Harold G.

The Cincinnati Bengals have changed directions. On Sunday. the NFL's distant Ohio cousins will get together for the first time in 2009. In recent years, their twice-per-season meetings since 1970 have produced wild shootouts and some forgettable please-hum-thegame-film clunkers. They've alsb taken tum~ wrecking each other's playoff hopes. Two years ngo. Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco brJvely hopped the wall into Cleveland's Dawg Pound only to be doused with cold beer by rowdy Browns fans. who have spent this year drowning their sorrows. Three games in, the winle~s Browns are a mess, more of a mess than ever. "We can't do any wor:-e," wide receiver Braylon Edwards said. Hardly. Cleveland's offense has scored one touchdown and is ranked 32nd. dead last, in total yards. The defense is ranked 30th and gave up three TDs rushing last week in Baltimore on plays where the Ravens'· running back scampered into the end zone untouched. The Browns have given up the most points (95) and scored the second fewest (29). What's more, Browns coach Eric Mangini is under fire for his mishandling of Cleveland's quarterback situation, which became more complicated this week when he benched starter Brady Quinn for Derek Anderson. Mangini switched to Anderson nt halftime last Sunday in Baltimore after Quinn threw an interception on Cleveland's first drive and failed to move the offense in a 34-3 loss. Qumn, whose lifelong dream was to quarterback the Browns. was the eighth QB to start a seac;on for the Browns t0-3) since 1999. He's now the sixth to be benched for reasons other than injury. "I want to be playing. 1 want to be startmg," sa1d Quinn, who won the job during training camp and then lost it in 10 quarters. "That's l AP photo Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson (32) runs past Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Evander Hood (96) and linebacker James Harrison (92) in the first half of an NFL football game on Sunday, Sept. 27. the case with a lot of guys in the league. If you don't feel that way, you shouldn't be in the league.'' Quinn's demotion didn't send a shock wave through Cleveland's locker room. In faci.' players who have been around here for any pe_riod of time view it as just another day with the Browns. ''Coach Mangini made a decision that he felt was the necessary action to be taken," Edwards said. "It's something I've dealt with for five years nO\V, I'm not even worried about it anymore. I signed a five-year deal." Mangini did not give any long-term commitment to Anderson. saying only he would be Cleveland's starter for ''this week." Hopefully. Anderson will do better than in his relief role last Sunday, when he threw three interceptions while trying to rally the Browns from a 20-0 deficit. The Browns are hoping Anderson's high-powered arm can kick them into overdnve. ':,Hopefully it can,'' wide receiver Joshua Cribbs said. "1 trust in the coach "s decision. We have to. we are all in.'' The Bengals. poster boy:; for off-field problems in recent years. have no onfield issues. With quarterback Carson Palmc.:r rc.:covcrcd from an elbow injury that siqelined him fur 12 games last season. Cincinnati, which rallied to beat the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time at home since 200 I last week, is playing with confidence and perhaps threatening to make a playoff push. These Bengab are no pussycats. After an 0-8 start a vear ago. they like the feel of winning. "Man, it':; really good,'' Ochocinco said. ''The good thing about :;tarting early is it makes it a Jot easier on the back end. not having to sit around and wait on other teams to win games to make sure you're in the playoffs. For us. it's ''ery important. It's good for the city, it's good for the team, tt's good for us as a whole. We've got to keep winning.'' Palmer brought back the Bengals last week, guiding them on 85- and 7 I -yard TO drives in the fourth quarter of a 23-20 win. On the drives. Palmer went 10 of 16 for 96 vards. He also com~ pleted 2-point conversion to. give Cincinnati its cush- a ioll' with 14 seconds lc.:ft. "It was all Carson,'' Ochocinco said. "He.: had it the whole time. He calls touchdowns before they happen. On the last drive. he said, 'when' v.·e score a touchdm.vn. we're gomg for two. That's what vou want to hear in a huddle, and it's only going to get better." If the Bengals can get past the Browns, they could play for first place against Baltimore next week. But that"s looking too far ahead, and coach Marvin Lewis wants his team focused on the task at hand. To reinforce that. he had his players wear numberless, plain practice jerseys this week. "It just says it docsn "t matter what your name is or what your number 1s, play football." Lewis said. ''Focus on what your assignment is and the other team and so forth. It's just where we are right now and what we have feft ahead of us." The Browns don't appear to be a threat. Ochocinco sees them differently. "By no means will we take them lightly bao.;ed off their record." he said. ··we need to treat thts game like any other, like they're undefeated." Three-peat for Chargers as Steelers await I PITTSBURGH (AP) When the NFL schedule was released last spring, Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and their teammates probably shared the same thought. Pittsburgh? Again? When the Chargers step onto the Heinz Field turf Sunday night for a game that could make their season and break Pittsburgh's, they will have played there as many times since November a& the Pitt Panthers. The Oakland Raiders once went 20 years without playing in Pittsburgh, and the Kam.as City Chiefs have played there once in the la..;t 20. but this will be the Chargers' third game there in II months. Even worse for the Chargers than the long tlights, and the wear and tear of taking on one of the NFL's most physical teams, is their 0-13 record in Pittsburgh during the regular season. Their postseason ended there last season, too, with a 35-24 loss on Jan. II. Dan Fouts' Chargers never won a regular-season ganie in Pittsburgh. Neither did Junior Seau's. Rivers' Chargers now get another chance, and they know they can't get much closer to winning there than they in losing I 1-10 on Nov. 16- the only such score in NFL histOl)'. 11-10. 0-13. Never quite seems to work out for the 'Bolts in the 'Burgh. '"It's a tough place to play." rromlinson said. ''They are very good at home.'' ' At least the Chargers (2-1) won't have to won·y about the swirling snow flurries and frigid temperatures that confronted them in Pittsburgh last season, or 5teelers defensive star Troy Polamalu. who remains out with a knee injury. No, the Chargers' worry is finding a ground game to go against what was the NFL's second-best rushing defense last season. With Tomlinson (ankle) injured the last two weeks, the Chargers fell to No. 31 in rushing, although Rivers kept the offense going by throwing for 436 yards against Baltimore and 303 against Miami. No doubt Rivers noticed that Jay Cutler of Chicago and Carson Palmer of Cincinnati both mounted late scoring drives the last two weeks that ended with the Steelers losing in the final 15 seconds. The Steelers were outscored 24-0 in those fourth quarters. "It's been tough, it's been hard to deal with," linebacker James Farrior said. "It"s something that we're nut used to, giving up scores at the end of the game that cause our team to lose.~· That secondary hasn't been as good without Polamalu no surprise there - and now must go against a quarterback who doesn't shy away from making any throw at any time. " If you watch them on film, I thought it was a highlight reel because they were going deep so much." safety Ryan Clark said. The Stee1ers are learning again that being the Super Bowl champion means they're getting everybody's best game - they hadn't lost in Cincinnati since 200 I, for example, until last week. Even their lone victory. 1310 over Tennessee. resulted pa1tly from a fortunate overtime coin llip. . "You look at stats. we win the stats, that's not even a question.'' wide receiver Hines Ward said. ''But certain :;ituations we didn "t have all I I guys on the same page." That was evident when Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes ran a wrong pass route against Cincinnati, - again 2009 Squirrels are going nuts around here Here in forested southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia, it's not unusual to see squirrel~. both alive and squashed. along our roadways. but this year there seems to be an unusually high number of hushytails on the move.:. My neighbors and I have witnessed this as have numerous motorists, sportsmen and other observers. some as far away as Fairfield County near Lancaster. Something is clearly happening with our squirrels. but what? Could we be cxpenencing a squirrel migration? Before you lau~h. consider this: gray sqmrrels were once considered a migratory species. Explorer ~1eriwether Lewis (of Lewis and Clark expedition fame) wrote in his JOUrnal over a four:day span about a ma~s1ve migration of squirrels crossing the Ohio River from Ohio in Sc.:ptcmbcr, ~H03. The squtrrc.:ls were so plentiful that Lewis' dog , Seaman, a Newfoundland, would frequently swim out into the river and catch squirrels, bringing them back to the boat to be used for food. Lewis assumed the squirrels were going south for the winter. In 1811 writer Charles Joseph Latrobe, author of The Rambler in .North America, remarked on a squirrel migration in Ohio. The squirrels, he said, "were seen pressing fornard by tens of thousands in a deep and sober phalanx to the South. No obstacles seemed 10 check this extraordinary and concerted movement. .. " An event similar to this year's was also reported ncros~ much of the eastern United States in September. 1968, with many states then advocating squirrel feeding programs to help them survive through the winter. Titcse squirrel migrations are not migrations in the true sense. They aren't an annual event. and the squirrels do not return to the1r point of origin - like birds that fly :-outh for winter and return in the spring. Also, -gray squirrels seem more inclined to move out compared to larger fox squirrels. There hasn't been much talk about the squirrels here in Ohio. hut lhe "migration" In the Open. Jim Freeman has been subject of news coverage in West Virginia, where state wildlife officials are blaming the phenomenon on a widespread nut shortage. Last year's mast crop (nuts and acorns) was awesome. and the winter relativelv mild, and as a result there has been a boom in the squirrel population. This year's mast crop has been abysmal, a 40-year low according to West Virginia wildlife officials, and many sportsmen have also noticed a shortage of nuts and acorns. In short. there aren't enough nuts for the squirrels, a th'ought also shared by the Ohio Division of Wildlife. I find this explanatio. more plausible than squi rels searching for water, o stockin!! up on nuts because thev sornehow sense a hard, . cold winter ahead. Also consider the impact that low mast production with have on other critters this winter: white-tailed deer and wild turkey both rely heavily on acorns and nuts as a food source. Right now the squished squirrels are the most visible indication of poor nut yield. but other animals will be hurting later. I expect the "squirrel migration" to be a shortlived phenomenon as more of them are killed on the roads or wander into the jaws or talons of hungry predators. reducing the population.

Still, the quarterback has thrown for 497 yards the last two weeks, with rookie Mike Wallace making seven catches for 102 yards against the Bengals.

More like a backlash against any number of things American - from hassling visitors at the borders to money squabbles to a quickie visit ov President Barack Obama. Even a disrupted walk across the hall apparently played a part. And, yes. it didn't help that South America had never had an Olympics. Chicago's leaders left here the same way they came in: convinced they had the best plan to host the 2016 Olympics. If only that was all that mattered in Olympic politics. The ·windy City is unlikely to bid again for 2020. With the games going to Rio. the odds they would come back to the Americas the next time around are long. But the U.S. Olympic Committee has made grand claims of wanting to be a partner with the IOC . and it's going to have to work even harder to make that happen . . "They realize that apparently they bave a problem." Dents Oswald. a member of the International Olympic Committee's executive board, said after Fnday·s vote. "We want them to be fully part of the family and they probably have to take some steps." . Humiliated by New York's early exit four years ago in the 20 12 bidding, USOC leaders had vowed to do things differently. They reached out to other countnes to show they wanted to be interested partners. not detached overseers. They happily shared their coaches and tratning programs. They even agreed to consider sharing a little more of their piggy bank. · Meanwhile, they put the U.S. cities that wanted the Olympics through a rigorous screening process. If the lJnited States was going to put a city forward, it would have to be pretty much perfect. Chicago sure seemed to be. It was a compact bid that kept 90 percent of the athletes within 15 minutes of their venues. and used existing or temporary venues that wouidn 't burden the city with white elephants. It was a dazzling setting on picturesque Lake ~1tchigan. a major city that doesn't have major attitude. Best of all, it had government support all the way up to the White House. Obama. whose Chicago home is a few short blocks from the J>lanned Olympic stadium, took time to come to Copenhagen and lobby in person. And yet Chicago was gone after the first round, a worse showing than New York four years ago. Even Tokyo. whose bid barely generated any mention in the days • AP photo Fans at Daley Plaza in Chicago react in disappointment seconds after Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics was rejected on Friday. Rio De Janeiro. before the vote, beat the Americans. "Stunned'' and "shocked" were the words heard most often, from IOC members and the Chicago contingent. "Either it \HIS tactical voting. or a lot of people decided not to vote for Chicago whatever happened.'' IOC executive board member Gerhard Heiberg said. "Nobody knows, but everybody is in a state of shock. Nobody believes it. I'm very sony about tt. We will have to spend some time evaluating what happened.'' Some people just don't like the way Americans do things. One IOC member. Syed Shahid Ali of Pakistan, told Obama that foreigners "can go through a rather harrowing expenence" aetting into the United States and asked how he intended to deal with that when thousands of people come for the 2016 games. Obama replied that "America, at Its best. is open to the world." and the presentation ended with no further questions. "This is an easy way for countries to express resentment toward us. as a superpower, without suffering any consequences, like having their for- Close call puts Hendrick teams on defense : KANSAS CITY. Kan. ~P) Mark Martin and limmie Johnson used a pair of wins to race their way to the top of the Sprint Cup standings. • Fair and square. No cheattog involved. :Even so, tongues were ivagging Friday at Kansas S'peedway after NASCAR warned the two Hendrick Motorsports teams they came awfully close to failing postrace inspection at Dover. ''There was no room to breathe,'' Sprint Cup director John Darby said. "Both cars passed inspection, or we would be having a whole different conversation with this." Johnson led Martin to a 1-2 fmish on Sunday, and their Chevrolets were taken back to NASCAR's research and development center in North Carolina for further inspection. Johnson's car was taken as the race winner, while Martin's represented the random selection. :.During the inspection, NASCAR found that the body of the cars came very close to exceeding allowed stx:cifications. Hendrick offiCials were called in the next pay to go over the mea-;urements and NASCAR let the learns go with a warning: : "Don't put it so close that your head's in the guillotine and somebody is holding a lighter on the rope." Darby :;aid. • It put Hendrick Motorsports on the defense at ·Kansas, where rival teams op:nly wondered if Martin and Johnson were given an unfair pass by NASCAR so their championship chances would not be disrupted. Martin, winner of the Chase opener at New Hampshire , holds a I0-point advantage in the standings over Johnson, the three-time defending champion. "If we were cheating. I wouldn't ber standing here today. I'd be back in Charlotte," said Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus: "The cars were legal. That's the thing everybody has to understand. It's turned into a bigger issue than what it really should.'' Martin crew chief' Alan Gustafson argued that as a five-time winner this season. his cars have been scrutinized more than anybody else in the series. Gustafson said the No 5 has gone back to the R&D center after all five of its wins, and again last week. "That's our sixth car through there this season, so it's not like they don't know what our stuff looks like:· Gustafson said. ··so how can you say that? My car has been over there more times than anyone else in the series. There's some teams in the top 10 who have not won. so I am not sure they have ever been through the process." But history often create.s a perception, particularly when comes to Knaus. it Considered one of the most innovative minds in the garage, he's crossed NASCAR's line lO times in his career as a crew chief and wracked up $199,750 in fines. His track record helped fuel the gossip Friday. What started as Gustafson claiming the car was 70-thousandths of an inch within the allowed measurements. other teams privately griped the cars actually were over the limits. ''lt doesn't take long for the rumor millis to start transferring the word that the car was 17 feet off,'' Darby said. "That's why the measurements have grown so quickly. Every conversation the measurement gets bigger and bigger.'' Brian Vickers. a former Hendrick driver ranked lOth in the Chase for his Red Bull Racing'team, credited his former teammates for successfully pushing the limits. eign aid cut off or their weapons programs cut off." said Doug Logan, CEO of USA Track and Field. ··It's an easy way for them to express a great amount of displeasure." Obama's presence may have hurt as much as 1t helped. While several IOC members rushed to meet the president and the first lady after they left the session hall, not eve~­ one was so enthralled. He was ttl town only five hours, then hunied back to Washington. "It c'an be that some IOC member:. see it as a lack of respect," said Kai Holm, a former IOC member from Denmark. · And security was so tight when Obama was here that members couldn't get across the hall, French IOC member Guy Drut sniffed. ''There was an excess of secunty that really made some of the members tense at the last minute.'' Drut said. There arc other geopolitical factors at play, too. The idea of going to South America for the first time was tantalizing, and Rio leaders left no doubt how badly they wanted these games. There also might have been some members who tossed their votes to Tokyo in the first round. assuming Chtcago would get through and not wanting the Japanese to be hotTibly embarrassed. ''The whole thing doesn't make sense other than there has been a stupid bloc vote," Sl!nior Australian member Kevan Gosper said. "To have the president of the United States and his wife personally appear. then this "hould happen in the first round. is awful and totally undeserving •· But the Americans - the USOC. at least - also have to shoulder some of the blame. A testy relationship between the IOC and USOC is almost ingrained. The IOC needs the United States its companies and broadcasters provide the htr!!est share of their revenues - and resents that it does. That the USOC spent man) years acting as if it was above the rest of the group only worsened things. When the vote-buying scandal in S!ilt Lake City's winning campaign for the 2002 Winter Parnes broke. IOC members took the brunt of the criticism and the USOC underwent a period of upheaval that was felt domec;tically and intemationall). ~ lot changed. but the ice between the U.S. Olympic movement and th. rest of the world never complete!. thawed. USOC chairman Larry Probst and acting CEO Stephanie Streeter managed to work out a compromise on the long-simmering revenuesharing dispute earlier this year, only to squander that goodwill wh~n they announced plans for thetr own TV n\!twork. And after years of relatively stable leadership. the USOC had a me-;sy transition when Jim Scherr. a fom1er Olympic wrestler who was \veil-liked in the movement. was dumped and replaced by Streeter. ''I think the revenue-sharing issue not bein~ completely resolved was a factor.' Scherr said. "Also, the desire for the IOC to go to South America and the fact that Rio has been m the process for four more years than Chicago \\'as . They had a leg up from Day One." And now they have the games. Ch1cago chairman Pat Ryan refused to blame USOC leaders or anyone else. saying simply that this wasn't Chicago's ttme. • "Some days you win:' Ryan sat "some days you don't."

Five University of Rio Grande students have been named Robert Noyce Scholars, which entitles them to two years of scholarship support, up to S 17,000 each year. Holly Pridemore, Anthony Gillman, Kayla McCarthy, Daniel Oliver and Christina "Star" Adkins, each a math education major, were five of seven regional students chosen for this prestigious national honor. For each year of accepted funds, the graduates will a!!ree to teach mathematics~ or science in a high-need, Appalachian school for two years. "The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program seeks to encourage talented science. techno1ogy, engineering. and mathematics majors and professionnls to become K-12 mathematics and science teachers.'' according to the National Science Foundation website (www.nsf.gov). The scholarship is supported by funds received from the National Science Foundation and is administered. by the Southeast Ohio Center for Excellence in MatlJematics for Excellence m Mathematics and Science (SEOCEMS). This is the first year the scholarship is being offered to nrca student~. and SEOCEMS plans to award over 30 more Noyce scholarships over the next three years. The importance for quality math and science cducation has been highlighted in numerous forums and research - such as the Ohio Board of Regents Science and Mathematics I Education Polic) Advisory Council Final Report: "To attract and retain 21st century businesses - and to create and sustain high-skill, high-wage jobs - Ohio must meet 1ts talent challenge. It-must produce more workers with advanced knowledge and 'ikills in sci~nce, technology, engineering and mathematics - the so-called STEM disciplines. Not meeting this challenge will have devastating consequences for the state's econom>'. just as it will limit Oh10ans' opportunities in a fiercely competitive. global economy." It's a need that Daniel Oliver understands: "~1ath and Science is a weakness in this area. This scholarship will get more teachers out there that arc motivat·· ed about math and science." Star Adkms a!!rees: ''I see a lot of potential in a lot of kids. But becau~e it's rural, they often get over- looked. I don·t want that to happen. I want to open their eyes to their potential and to what a love of math can give them." Dr. Robert Noyce was one of the very first scientists to work in the silicon valley, inventing the integrated circuit computer chip in 1959, one of the stepping stones along the way to the microprocessors in today's computers. It was only natural that a scholarship be created in his name in an effort to further support for up-and-coming STEM teachers. SEOCEMS was established in 2003 to meet the diverse needs of southeast Ohio's mathematics and science educators and their student~. and is a partnership of Ohio University, the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Commumty College. Shawnee State Uni\er:.ity and the Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools. SEOCEMS has been active 111 supporting mathematics and science teacher education through a variety of programs. Dr, Barbara Hatfield, associate provost and dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for the University of Rio Grande. and a former high school math teacher herself, had some words of encouragement for the scholars, "I commend you for. choosing to be teachers. The most important thing is that you care about your students and expect them to do well.'' Hatfield spoke to the recipients during their recent onentation. As the fir:-.t recipients of the Noy. Scholarship. "we have gr expectations for you.'' Students interesf('(/ in scholars/zips for next year ,}zould comact AI Core with SEOCEMS at /-S8S-2580118.

Gettysburg, Ya. is known as one of the most haunted site~ in America \vhere 51 .000 people lost their lives in a short period of time, and in tragic ways. from July 1-3, 1863. In Chester Township is a ghost story involving some of the first settlers of Meigs County, ~ative Amcricarl.o.;. Evidence that Native Americans made their home in Meigs County is everywhere, from the many Indian burial moLnds found in the Long Bottom, Racine .tnd Portland areas. In fact. the Stewart Cemetery on Sand Hill Road sits atop an Indian mound and techmcally some early settlers of Meigs County are buried on the top layer of the mound, according to local hic;tonan Betty Milhoan. There were also archaeo~ logical finds in Sutton Township on the site of the new Racine Boat Ramp which unearthed items dating back a thou:.and years. from the Late Archaic Period (3 ,000-300 BC) as well as the Late Woodland ' Period (500-1.000 AD). All of these items are evrdence of people who have both lived and died in this area for longer than the mind can fathom. In Chester Township, near the four-way intersection of Flatwoods Road and Pomeroy Pike is an area known to contain "ever flowing springs." Naturally this would've been a place for people to gather to collect water, including Indians and later settlers. Milhoan, who lives in the area, tell~ the gruesome tale of the last Indian to be killed in Meigs County. The Indtan was killed by .<>ettlers whih.: he was at one of those springs in the vicinity of Flatwoods Road, Pomeroy Prke and Texas Road. After the settlers killed th~.: Indian they skinn~d him and made he its of his hide.

Residents also report the phantom smell of tobacco smoke in the area when no obviou~ source can be spotted.

And that would be Highgate." she said, recalling the days en the idea for the novel t came to her in 2002. I was always interested m the Victorian and Edwardian period, and Highgate is such a beautifully concentrated and unusual Victorian place." The mythical pull of Highgate - where the spirits of the Victorian age seem to whisper around every corner - lies at the hem of "Her Fearful Symmetry."

We will be discussing this book next week at our book club meeting. Picoult is a master storyteller of contemporary issues. My single complmnt is that her books arc too long.

Memorial Hospital .'Toy Story' and other fave films get new life in 3D LOS AKGELES (AP)- 'Toy Story" has always been a 3-D film. even if moviegoers never saw it that way. Computer-generated animation made the 1995 Pixar &mash 3-D by design. with virtual cameras moving through a digital space. capturing the mass and dimension of each character and setting. At the time. though, theaters lacked the high-tech projectors required to show it that way, forcing filmmakers to collapse the images back down to two dimensions so the movie could play in multiplexes. More than a decade later, projection technology has caught up with CG film making. inspiring movie moguls such as Jeffrey Katrenberg, James Cameron, Peter Jackson and Pixar'li John Lasseter to declare 3-D the future of film. Disney-Pixar. which released "Up" in 3-D earlier this year, is embracing the future and past at once by amping up the 3-D in "Toy Story'' and "Toy Story 2" for a limited double-feature run beginning Friday. "It's a great 3-D movie because (Pixar) had discovered this ability to move through these spa~es in 3-D," said stereographer Bob Whitehill, who oversaw the updates on both films. "We were just never able to project them in 3D, and now we can.'' The Oscar-nominated tale of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and their toy box full of friends isn't the only beloved film get" ting a 3-D retrofit: Cameron's company, Lightstorm, reportedly has a 3-D rcreleasc of "Titanic" in the works. ~<star Wars" creator George Lucas has said he· d like to convert all six franchise films into 3-D and his company. Lucasfilm, has worked with a firm developing technology to do that, but a company spokeswoman said no timeline exists for now. Converting a live-action film to 3-D is even more challenging, Whitehill said. Artists must duplicate the original film to create a right-eye view. then cut out each element in the scene to sculpt a three-dimensional image. Further depth is created by projecting flat images onto computer-generated geometric forms, so the eye perceives a natural distance between the nose and ears on a face, for example. Though "Wall-E" and "Ratatouille" have also been tested, Pixar has no plans to r~rclcase them in 3-D - but all of the company's future lilms will come in two-dimensional and three-dimensional versions. The rcreleasc of the two "Toy Story" movies serves an additional purpose: It heralds the arrival of "Toy Story 3" in 3-D next summer. Getting 1995'., Woody and Buzz back to the big screen wasn't easy. Even though the original movies were made in three dimensions. it took Whitehill and his team of 20 artists nearly 18 months to update the two "Toy Story'' film::..

BY HAL KNEEN Are you anxious to clean up your gardens before winter sets in? Remember that this is the last opportunity for plants to store up nutrients for next year's growth. Perennial plants like peonies, iris. and chrysanthemums need to have their leaves capturing the last rays of fall sunshine to produce nutrients for fall root growth and storage of carbohydrates. · Cutting off green photosynthesizing leaves reduces the flow of carbohydrates into their root systems. Once frost Rips the peonies leaves and turn them brown, cut off their ~aves. If you had a black spot on the peony leaves make :sure you remove the leaves from the flower bed. Do not compost. Bury the leaves or burn them. Cut off dead chrysanthemum flowers so plant nutrients go into root development versus seed development. This also allows D!ore light be absorbed by their leaves and more photosyntllesis to occur. ~:Your lawn is another collection of plants that need to ~ve their leaves exposed to as much sunlight as possible. ~ake leaves off the grass as they fall. Allow the grass to 'jrow taller by increasing the cutting height of the lawnfl)ower to three or three and one half inches tall. Compost Ihe raked off leaves by mulching up the leaves into quarter .§ized pieces and piling them into four foot by four foot piles. By next spring you should have compost to spread around your garden beds. MONDAY TELEVISION GUI.D E ••• Are you interested in obtaining new plants for your home garden?
