This year has proven to be one of the most demanding for the Angel Tree program. with more than 800 children and nearly 90 ~eniors in need of aid this Christmas season. Last year. citizens were able to fulfill requests for more than 300 children and approximately 40 seniors. As of Friday, 87 youth ; I tags remained on the trees, although all senior gift tags have been fulfilled. In addition, a number of children tag:s have been removed that have not resulted in gifts being turned in to the respective service counters. ''Without your help these individuals will go without this Christmas," said a volunteer who did not wish to be identified. "Many of the parents have added statements on the requests for their children such as, 'my children are not picky and would cherish any gift they receive' and 'this 1s the first time l ha\e ever had to ask for help and appreciate anything you can do.' Another stated as a special request that they would appreciate help with diapers and baby formula. while several others stated food as their special request.'' Senior requests generally include items that most people take for granted such as toothpaste, deodorant and blankets.

Nease said he had been personally affected by the library's reduced hours when he arrived as a ratron only to find it closed. "I'm sure our patrons wil be thrilled," Kristi Eblin, director of the Meig~ County District Public Library. said of the donation and extra day of operation. Eblin pointed out the library isn't just a place for books anymore. Branches now offer free broadband Internet service which is often used for job searching and even filing for unemployment benefits which must now be done online. For those reasons alone, making free broadband Internet :-.ervice available is particularly cruciaL especially in a rural area . . The MCDPL, like many smaller libraries, relies solely on state funding and has no local levy on which to fall back. Though the funding formula has basically stayed the same. over the last few years the state has collected less tax revenue to disperse to local libraries which means less money for local libraries to budget This 'ear the MCDPL has reduced staff from 21 to 14 members; reduced operating hours from 236 per week to 108: and has sustained a 31 percent budget cut in comparison to last year.

RIO GRANDE - The University of Rio Grande is now offering a new master's ·aegrce program to prepare teachers to work in educational leadership positions such as principals. • The new Master's of Education in l!ducational Leadership program has enrolled its first class of students. and is accepting applications for the second class of students. who will begin the program in January. The program has received full approval from the Ohio Board of Regents, and also has received national approval from organizations such as the National Council for Accreditation ofTeacher Educauon. The new program was created to meet a demand from educators in the region. and it is receiving a great deal of interest from individuals interested in working as principals . The program is designed for teachers who are currently working in schools. us the classes arc scheduled to lit around their work and family responsibilities. The program was also designed in a \vay to allow students to transfer credits easily from other master's degree programs. For example, if a student has earned a degree from Rio Grande's master's of education in classroom teaching program. the core credits from that program could transfer into the master's of education m educational leadership program in order to shorten the amount of time and number of credits needed to complete the program. The new program is a hybrid program. meaning that students will do much of their classwork online, but they will also meet in face-to-face sessions.

It is the number one priority of both organizations to place the patient first, and while followin~ national and state guidelines Holzer will continue to focus on improving the quality of care provided to our local communities.

"It's a flexible schedule;~ explained Dr. Phyllis McQueen. head of teacher education at Rio Grande. "We're trying to meet their needs." Classes meet during the fall. spring and summer semesters at Rio Grande and students will be able to complete the program in two years or less. The program also includes internship opportunities for students. and gi,·es the students a great deal of knowledge and experience. One unique component of the Rio Grande program is that it also prepares principals to lead joint vocational schools or career technical schools. ~lany programs do not offer this component, but the Rio Grande program allows students to focus in this area if they are interested.

I didn't know until on the way back home that she had to bake cookies for a meeting that night and also go to her yoga class. She and her husband John are always willing to do for others and not ask anything in return. So many these days don't want to get involved. they only think of themselves. John and Joy try to improve our community here in Syracuse so it will be a better place for everyone and they are involved in so many things to improve our county also and help others. Maybe if we all would be unselfish like these two and try to help and love everyone this would be a better world to hve in. Sara Roush Syracuse Wake up, Meigs Co. - Rebuttle Dear Editor: After reading David Warner's letter to the editor ''Wake Up, Meigs County!~' published in the Dec. 3 issue of The Daily Sentinel, in which he tries to portray Ohio Rep. Debbie Phillips as being excited (happy) about American Municipal Power's decision to scrap the plans for building a new coal-ftred power plant in the Letrut Falls area. I felt a reply was necessary to set the record straight. Anyone who has talked to Rep. Phillips about the importance of the power plant to the economy of Meigs County and the surrounding areas knows that this is untrue. Rep. Phillips also has keen foresi~ht as demonstrated by her statements to the local Rapers m response to AMP's shocking announcement - ' Most importnntly right now, we will not lose sight of our crucial goal to position this region as a leader in advanced and renewable energy. Our abundant natural resources, the solid work ethic of the people in the region. together with technology of tomorrow are so important to Ohio's continuing growth!" How anyone can take these two statements to mean that Rep. Philhps is excited (happy) about AMP canceling its coal-fired project is beyond anyone's common sense. What these two statements really mean is that we of Meigs County cannot give up on this project. Perhaps as a ga<;fired power plant to replace the coal-fired plant would be an option and at the same time we must plan for the future economic growth of our country. Sounds good to me. Everyone who read "Wake Up. Meigs County!" will know that Mr. Warner has used the disappointment and sadness of the people caused by the cancellation of the power plant project as a backd!UP for taking a cheap, political shot at an honest. energetic, bright person who works very hard everyday trying to im~ve the lives of all of her constituents as well as all of Ohto.lbis is indeed a sad commentary. Perhaps you owe Rep. Phillips an apology'! Bobby}. Ord Syracuse - , Government intervention and high prices BY DR. MARK W.

I've never met anybody who decided not to buy :something because he wished the price were higher. Indeed, common sense leads to the inescapable conclusion that economic standards of living are higher when people can afford to buy more things than when they can afford to buy fewer. Why am I stating such an obvious truism? Because, strange as it seems. our friendly federal ~overnment has a bad habit of adopung policies that raise prices . We have heard for decades , ad nanseam. that politicians compassionately care about the poor and want to help "the people'' prosper. Their deeds, however. do not match their rhetoric . Repeatedly. American politicians have subverted the healthy functioning of free markets , whose competitive pressures and ever-improving productivity exert downward pressure on prices. This tendency has a lengthy history. When the first federal regulatory agency. the Interstate Commerce Commission, was created in the 1880s, it regulated prices . That meant it blocked railroad companies from lowering fees to customers. resulting in higher transportation costs and higher retail prices for consumer products. My Econ-101 students are amazed when they read about governmentmandated price floors , subsidies. guaranteed purchases, etc .• that raise the price of foods . They shake their heads in disbelief when they learn about government's myriad tariffs LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.

The perverse political preference for high prices is also manifested in Obama's major legislative initiatives, healthcare insurance reform. and energy policy. The healthcare proposals are full of taxes. fines. and talk of higher premiums for many: Meanwhile, the Obama administra.t tion 's stated goal for energy is to tax · fossil fuels through a cap-and-trade scheme - a policy that surely would jack up the price of energy. Making energy more expensive , Americans in the depths of a se" economic contraction may suit ra cal environmentalists such as Paul Ehrlich. who once opined that ''Giving society cheap ... energy ... would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.'' However. for the average American, rising energy costs will translate into highe~ prices for running one's car and heating one's home, and powering one's factory, and that will make most of us (especially the Americans with the lowest incomes and those who lose their jobs to countries with lower energy costs) feel poorer. I know that President Obama believes that people like me are out of step with _the times. Maybe v.anting low prices for Americans b quaint and old-fashioned. but I still think low prices are better for Americans than high prices. What do you think? (Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson is an adjunct faculty member, economist, and contributing scholar with The Center for Vision and \rz/ues at Grove · City College.) and quotas that abrogate Americans' right to buy needed goods from the lo\vest-cost providers . and force them to pay higher prices. re!->ulting in them bemg able to afford fewer things. They are amazed to discover that t~e actual history of early antitrust cases (as detailed in Dominick Armentano's "Antitrust and Monopoly") shows that Standard Oil and other large cor· porations prosecuted under antitrust laws were neither monopolies nor guilty of the monopolistic abuse of gouging consumers with high prices, but. in fact. were the very companies that were charcing consumers the lowest prices. In....effect. then. antitrust laws punished the companies that were most beneficial for American consumers. They are frus1rated that as oil prices soar. government imposes greater restrictions on the development of domestic petroleum resources. At the same time that President Franklin Roosevelt had the Justice Department t,arget private firms for alleged anticompetitive practices during the Great Depression. his own economic strategy was to organize businesses into government-managed cartels. which plotted to raise prices. FOR's bizarre and ugly practice of ordering farmers to plow under thousands of acres of cotton. kill millions of piglets. and pour out massive quantities of milk made food more expensive at a time of severe poverty and hunger in America . This is all very relevant today, because Barack Obama is using FOR as his role model. What is Obama's attempted solution for the housing crisis? It is to do whatever he can to stop prices from falling - as if higher pnces for the expensive consumer good in America is vital to prosperity.

"The little point guard, (Wilson) we did a nice job on her, she ·s very athletic and active, she still ended up getting l 0 rebounds, but I thought Olivia Brown and Kati Moore did a nice job defen- sively on her. "Candace Black came in and gave us what I know Candace is capable of doing night in and night out,'' Smalley added. "I thought Ediesha Cole. coming off the bench. did a tremendous job and we're trying to sell the kids on, any given night it could be any combination, Leah Kendro and Jenna Smith didn't stand out tonight, but you know what, teams are going to try to focus on them and limit their touches."

And, perha{>S most importantly. for Mangmi's future. On a frostbitten Thursday night, the Browns (2-11) ended a seven-game losing streak and a 12-garne slide against Pittsburgh with a 13-6 upset of the Steelers, whose fifth straight loss may have ended any chance of the Super Bowl champions defending their title. Mangini has been increasingly under fire as the Browns have staggered through one of the worst seasons in their history. But by guiding Cleveland to just its second win over its archrival in 20 games. Mangini may have shown that his system may be working. "Yesterday was proof," Browns linebacker David Bowens said. "We played a good Pittsburgh team. They were down with losing so man~ games in a row but they re still the Super Bowl champs. Yesterday and last week (a 30-23 loss to San Diego) showed the type of team we can be." Hb future remains cloudy, but Mangini, who has been criticized for almost everything he's done since arriving in January, is convinced that his system is taking hold. The record doesn't show it, but it will, he says. "I believe in what we do," he said. "I know it works. I know it's going to work here. I know we're going to win a lot of games here. I know we're going to have a team week in and week out the city is going to be proud of. These are good guys, working toward the same goal. That to me is the essence of winning.

With three games left this season, the Browns have more chances to show how far they've grown under Mangini. The results could sway public opinion about him and maybe change the minds of those who will decide if he should come back. Mangini said he won't spend any time wonying about his future.

Barely a month ago, the Steelers were 6-2 after winning five in a row - beating the Chargers, Vikings and Broncos - and were well positioned not only to win the AFC North, but to take another run at the Super Bowl. Ben Roethlisberger was enjoying a career year statistically, the defense was as nasty as ever and the Steelers had the look and attitude of a champion. Then, somehow, it all got away from them. Blame it on Troy Polamalu and Aaron Smith getting hurt. Blame it on a delayed Super Bowl hangover, blame it on overconfidence, blame it on a Jack of preparation, blame it on an inability to clo~e t out close games. Right now, there's a whole lot of blame to go around. For the Steelers (6-7), finding the wortls to explain a five-game losing streak that has wrecked their hopes of repeating as Super Bowl champions IS proving as difficult as covering a kick return. Only one other Super Bowl champion lost five m a row the following season, and the 1987 Giants deserve an asterisk because they used · replacement players during part of that strikeinterrupted season. What rnost troubles the Steelers is who is beating them. A year ago, the Steelers survived one of the toughest schedules in NFL history to win their sixth Super Bowl, facing the Eagles, Ravens (twice), Chargers, Giants, Cowboys, Colts. Patriots and Titans during the season. This season, their losses to the Browns (l-11 at the time), the Chiefs (2-7 at the time) and Raiders (3-8 at the time) rank as three of the biggest upsets in the NFL all year. As a result, the Steelers will be playing out the string in December for the first time since 2003. Even in 2006, when the reigning R&R's Super Bowl champion Steelers started 2-6, they won six of their final eight to make a late run at the playoffs. These Steelers could win out by beating the Packers. Ravens and Dolphins to finish 9-7, yet that probably wouldn't be enough to make the playoffs, given their 1-4 division and 4-6 conference records, which factor into Star Mast• Show Fills Eliminator Heifer Feed .

The fire ripped through a horse barn at a county fairgrounds Saturday in southwest Ohio, killing 2 people and many horses, authorities said. though under the OSRC's guidelines it is possible that the tack rooms inside the barns would be considered adequate said OSRC deputy director John Izzo. The OSRC has not looked into the housing situation at Lebanon because it hasn't received any official complaints. ''If nobody is complaining that something is wrong, it's not something we're ignoring. it's just not our primary focus," Izzo said. Just who is responsible for making sure living space is provided remains in question. Izzo said the obligation lies with the permit holders. Miami Valley Trotting Association president Karen Heaberlin argued that it's up to the Fair Board. Fair Board attorney Bill Schroeder maintains the racing associations are the ones required to make sure they meet the OSRC guidelines. "It's not up to us," Schroeder said. "The (racing associations) are the permit holders and have to comply." The trouble is even if the tack rooms are considered adequate housing, they've been deemed off limtts by the Fair Board, not the permit holders. There are signs scattered across the backside alerting workers that the barns are closed at night. Williams and Edwards saw them every day. They ignored them. '"They stayed there because they didn't have any place to go," said Stan Crowe, a longtime owner and trainer at the track. Ana even if they did, odds were the two men would have opted for the quiet sanctity of the barns anyway rather than the AllState Inn located across the street from the track, where rates are about $45 a night. The average groom salary depends on the track and the trainer, but Winn, for example, said he makes around $290 a week and supplements his income by doing some additional work for the Warren County Fair Board. "Ronnie didn't know any different," said Qiane Williams, who grew up at the track alongside her older brother and still dabbles in the business when she's not working at a nearby Wal-Mart. While Williams ''could save a dime" according to Winn and had family in the area, no one rais_ed a fuss . when he chose stay in the barn. Most say it's because sleeping at the track is such an accepted part of the raeing culture, particularly for the people who spend more time with the horses tha.n anyone else at the track. "The (grooms') responsibility is their horses,'' said Elliott Walden. vice president and racing manager at WinStar Fanns . in Versailles, Ky. ''It's not unlike a family whose father feels they need to live with their children. These grooms feel like they need to live with their herses." Some horsemen view their nights in the barns as a badge of honor. Kentucky Derby winning trainer Rick Dutrow boasted about sleeping on a cot at Aqueduct Race track tn New York for months a decade ago before his career finally took off. "It's part and parcel of it,'' said Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day, who said the only reason he never slept in a tack room is because ~­ had a small camper on back of his pickup truck. It's why no one complained when Williams and Edwards, nicknamed "Turtle'' for his slow, deliberate walk, bunked in the tack rooms. The two were lifelong racing nomads who went from meet to meet and track to track looking for work. They have been fixtures during Lebanon's meet for years, and the last night of their lives were like hundreds before it. Williams and Edwards were among the last people on the backside following last Friday's 14-race card. They ordered a pizza from Domino's before heading into Barn 16, one of four football-field size barns at the track. "They probably got their belly full and fell asleep," said Winn. • He hopes their deaths wi wake up the industry. Tiger Woods to take 'indefinite' leave from golf BY DOUG FERGUSON . ASSOCIATED PRESS ; Tiger Woods said Friday he is taking an indefinite leave from golf to work on saving his marriage, using the word "infidelity'' for the first time in a statement posted on his Web site. "After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf,'' Woods said. "I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father .. and person." The announcement came two weeks after a car accident that set in motion a shocking downfall for the world's No. I player, which has included sordid allegations of numerous extramarital affairs. One woman even shared a voicemail she said Woods left her two nights before his Nov. 27 accident. Woods has not been seen in public since the accident. "I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to !'O many people, most of all my wife and children," Woods said. "I want to say again to everya.ne that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try." How long Woods will stay away from golf was unclear. A year ago, he was out of golf for eight months while recovering from reconstructive knee surgery. and television ratings dropped 50 . percent during his absence. Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married five years and have a 2year-old daughter and I0month-old son.

"Amy Price, whom we are very fortunate to ha e as our dance instructor. is now completing her first tPrm. teaching in our Dance Studio. We are excited by the skilL enthusiasm and experience she brings, making dance a signature part of our educational program." A graduate cum laude of the University of Georgia, with a BS in Family and Consumer Sciences. Price majored in Child and Family Development. with a focus on dance education. Before coming to Gallipolis this past summer. she was in Columoia, South Carolina. where she trained students from age 3 through adults. in Pre-ballet. Ballet. Tap and Jazz at the South Carolina Christian Dance Theatre. While there. she facilitated pre-ballet classes in two local preschools, choreographed ballet. tap and jazz presentations. and supervised assemblies at nursing homes and concert \'Cnues. . For five years before going to Columbia, she was an instructor. becoming director of the Studio School of the Arts at Trinity stian Fello,vship in Lawrenceville, gia. In addition, she was dance instruc• and drama teacher at the Masters Academy there. As Thaler points out. "Amy's professional training is extremely impressive, studying at various schools of dance in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. She was introduced to classical training at the age of seven. and began her teaching career in high school.'' Now in her eleventh year of instruction. as she directs the FAC Dance Studio, she has been teaching Pre-ballet, Ballet, Tap. Jazz and Modern, to both children and adults. Her upcoming classes will be expanded to include Ballroom Basics for adults and Beginning Ballet for children, ages 3 through 10. Currently, registration for these two classes is open, and can be made by calling the French Art Colony at 446-3834. When asked about the importance of ballet to other dance forms. Price said, "Ballet is the basis for dance and provides students with a strong technical foundation for other dance genres, including tap, jazz and modern." She also commented on the Studio's sprung floor. "The French Art CoLony is fortunate to have a sprung floor in their Dance Studio, the only in the area." said Price. "This type floor ·ents injury and is a protection for stuts. should they fall.'' On January 4. 2010. current classes will resume for their spring term, as students prepare for their recital on Sunday afternoon. May 2, 2010. at the University of Rio Grande's Fine and Performing Arts Centre. This year, the recital will be unique. as the participants tell a story through dance. Everyone, of any age, will enjoy the dance interpretation of the famous fable. "The Tortoise and the Hare." This will be the second occasion for P[ice to write and then direct and produce, tlirough dance. without narrative, a famous children's story. As she commented. "Interpreting a story through dance alone, provides the student an opportunity to expand their performance technique, through characterization and pantomime, not usually possible in a theme based recital." Classes in Ballroom and Beginning Ballet will commence on Thursday. January 7, 2010. with registration now open. Ballroom Basics, at entry level. will be available to those age I 8 · and over. Classes will be in four-week increments, starting with the smooth forms of Waltz, Fox and Swing. Beginning Ballet is for brand students, starting at age 3.

URG nursing students receive scholarship grant RIO GRANDE - Two nursing students from the University of Rio Grande have been awarded the LTC Richard J.

(On the Web: www.rio .edu) SANDS Christmas in 1949 marked the end of the first year for Harry Truman's "Fair Deal." This plan, first introduced in 1947 at a NAACP national meeting (Truman became the first president to ever ·address the group). was based on the principle that "every segment of our population, and every individual, has a right to expect from his government a fair deal." One of the proposals of the ''Fair Deal" was universal health care. The Wagner-MurrayDingell bill, first introduced in Congress in 1943, was reworked and placed in the hopper that year. Even though Democrats held the maj01ity in the Senate, 54-42, and in the House of Representatives. 263-171, Republicans and Southern Democrats killed the bill. They also killed a Republican bilL Flanders-Ives-Nixon, that would have given federal subsidies to low income persons to help them buy health insurance. In fact, most of the "Fair Deal" was killed by filibuster. Ironically, even though the Republicans had lost nine seats in the Senate and 75 seats in the House in the 1948 election, they were claiming that they spoke for the American people in 1949. . Truman's "Fair Deal" also extend~d to education, judicial reform, civil rights and housing. Truman angered Sou them representatives when he integrated the mili'tary and named African Americans to Fderal posts. Sen. Bricker of Ohio was trying to broker a new political party that would incorporate Conservative Republicans and Southern Democrats. Most southerners were against the idea, claiming that they would never join forces with the party (Republican) that started a Civil War against the South. It seems that southerners' interpretation of history was about as poor as their prognostications about the future. In December 1949, Sen. Robert Taft spent several' days in Gallipolis, laying out his conservative agenda, which included more tax cuts, less government and a return to more isolation from the world. Taft did not believe the Soviet Union caused any great concern to the U.S. and about China he had no opinion, claiming the Chinese were of little concern to him. Of course, the conservative agenda of less government and more isolation would become hard to reconcile with fighting the Cold War that was just about to start. The conspiracy theories were flying hot and heavy with one claiming the government had a secret plan to tax churches, and another that there was a plot involving all the media to cover up the facts of Roosevelt's various "trysts.'' One of the great songs of 1949 was "Rudolph. the Red Nosed Reindeer·· by Gene Autry and the game Clue was first introduced into America. Ads for model trains took up whole pages in the Daily Tribune. The American Flyer Royal Blue freight train, which normally cost $16.95. was on sale for $8.95. The performance of Handel's "Messiah" received rave reviews. The director was Mrs. Ruth Sawyer Doepping and the featured soloist was another Ms. school teacher, Adelaide Burnette. Male vocalists included John Epling, Kenneth Morgan, Don Henshaw and Herbert Pepper. Some of the adult singers in this community- wide presentation also sang in the Grace Methodist Choir, also directed by Mrs. Doepping. The 40-voice Grace Choir sang the cantata in 1949 "Angels from the • Realms Glory." Unemployment stoo 3.9 percent. By 1950, it went all the way up to 6 percent and Republicans took back several seats. They would take back both houses in 1952, only to lose them again in 1954, thus starting a long spell of being in the minority. The National Debt was $253 billion and the best-selling novel was "1984" by George Orwell. Cortisone was invented. Life expectancy had risen to 66 by 1949. It was 43 in 1890 and 50 in 1911. In 1939. life expectancy had been 59. Half of the American'population in 1949 was under the age of 20. Harry Hurn was in a big argument over whether or not the WPA did any good, Hurn claiming that mattresses made in Gallipolis about 1939 were poorly constructed. Readers wrote i. object claiming they still using their WPA mattress and if it had not been for the WPA they would have had to sleep on straw. URG fine woodworking students honored RIO GRANDE - Two University of Rio Grande fine woodworking students have been awarded scholarships in honor of their excellent work in the program. On Thursday. Dec. 3, students Ryan Reedy of Lancaster and Bryce Wilson of Jackson were awarded the scholarships. Both students are sophomores who are excelling in the awardwinning program. Wilson received the Western Ohio Woodworkers Scholarship, while Reedy received the Harris Bartine Scholarship. Bartine is a member of the Western Ohio Woodworkers Club. and established his scholarship at the same time as the club set up its scholarship. The club is located in Dayton and originally started working on its scholarship after the passing of longtime club member George Reid. who was a well-known woodworker. The club members wanted to honor Reid's memory, ·while also supporting individuals studying fine woodworking. The club has been creating its scholarship fund through donations and through special projects, such as auctioning off equipment donated by companies such as Delta and Carve Wright. . Dave Moser, a former pres'ident of the Western Ohio Woodworkers, said during the Dec. 3 scholarship presentation that the club members are proud to present the scholarship to a Rio Grande student every year. "It's always a pleasure for us to come here and see the work that you are doing," Moser told the Rio Grande students. "It's always impressive." This is the fourth year that the club has awarded the scholarship to a Rio Grande student. ·'The competition keeps getting tougher," Moser said. adding that it is more and more difficult every year to decide which student to award the scholarship to. "You are all doing impressive work.'' Wilson said he is honored and pleased to receive the scholarship. ''Tt really hclpsJ pay for everything for the program,'' Wilson said. He eventually wants to work in furniture reproduction, 'and he is enjoying learning in the Rio Grande program. "I love it. It's awesome." Wilson said. While Wilson is an excellent student. he also is an outstanding athlete who runs on the Rio Grande Cross Country. team and finished in a very strong 32nd place at the national competition ear- Ryan Reedy 1 Bryce Wilson lier in the fall semester. Harris Bartine decided to set up his own scholarship fund while he was working with the other club members to establish the Western Ohio Woodworkers Club. He is very impressed with the Rio Grande program. and wanted to do something to help more students afford to pay for school. Bartine said at the Dec. 3 scholarship presentation that he is always happy to see the excellent work the students are doing on the projects, and he knows they are receiving an excellent education at Rio Grande. "We had a tough time selectin!! a winner," Bartine said , adding that Reed} wa!-i chosen for the scholarship due to the outstanding work he. b doing.

Jonah 4:6 - "And went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds, his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not."

For devotions, Jieniece Newberry read the poem "The Legend of the Rain Drop." Four guests were present: Juanita Spurlock, Lucille Stewart, McKenzie Sanders and ~ur guest speaker Becky Scott. Josephine Elder, president, called the meeting to order and 18 members answered roll call by naming a variety of gourd. "Bounty Of The Fall Garden," was the program presented by Becky Scott.

MOLLETT-JAQUES ENGAGEMENT zucchini and cucumbers, which are grown to eat. There are three types of gourds: The Cucurbita, or ornamental gourds, The Lagenaria, or utilitarian gourds, and the Luffa, or vegetable sponge. THE CUCURBITA: include the colorful. various-shaped ornamental · gourds often used in fall arrangements. They can be kept as ornaments only three or four months. Some varieties are Crown Of Thorns. White Egg and the Orange Warted. This group produces large yellow blossoms that bloom in the daytime. · THE LAGENARIA; includes the Birdhouse, Bottle, Dipper Gourd, the Kettles and the Cannonballs. These plants produce white blossorr.s that bloom at night. The gourds are green on the vine, turning brown or tan. when dry. The gourds will last for many years if properly treated. Some take up to six months to cure. Once cured, a gourd can be cut. carved, hollowed out, lacquered, varnished, painted. or waxed, drilled, burned, stained or dyed with shoe polish. Anything you can do with wood you can do with gourds. There are a lot of different shapes and sizes in this group. Gourds can be shaped with string or tape when young to assume any shape you wish. Children can scratch initials or designs into the skin of the fruit, and watch the designs grow as the fruit grows. THE LUFFA: (Smooth Loofah) also called vegetable sponge or dishrag gourd. It is this luffa which is used in the bath as a scraping sponge for the back. The flowers are yellow and it can be trained to a trellis or fence. and requires the longest growing season of all gourds. For "Show And Tell" Jean Davis demonstrated how to start roses from cuttings. First prepare the bed, add peat or sand to loosen soil. East facing is best. Cuttings should be at least pencil thickness, long enough to have at least four growth buds. Cut off botton1 at 45 degree angle and dip in rooting hormone. Use a pencil to make hole in the soil and plant two of the buds in the ground and two above. Place a milk jug over the top and mulch around it. When it warms up in early Spring. remove the cap from the milk jug. put ·it back on at night. if it gets particularly cold.

Dr. Charles 0. Lloyd, who earned his doctorate in Classics from lndiana University and taught at Marshall University for 35 years, co-wrote "Ruth Etting: America's Forgotten Sweetheart" with Chicago native Kenneth Irwin. Both authors will be featured at a book signing from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19 at Empire Books, 30 Pullman Square. Huntington. Lloyd's interest in Etting began in the late 1960s when he heard her voice on a Columbia re-release. He beg:an to research the ~ recording a11ist and visited her hometown to interview friends who had known her. "Ruth Etting was enormously popular throughout the I 930s and her story is yet untold,'' said Lloyd. "We examine her unique place in the history of American entertainment. specifically her trend-setting vocal style and her pioneering work in phonograph recordings and radio, as well as her enormous popularity throughout the 1930s." In 2003, Lloyd met Irwin and began a collaboration that led to ''Ruth Etting: America's Forgotten Sweetheart," a 360-page hardbound book now available from Scarecrow Press (www.scarecrowpress.com). Etting (1897-1978) was among the 010st important pelformers of her time with an influence that extended from Broadway to radio and film. Her successes include more than 60 popular recordings including a 1928 rendition of "Love Me or Leave Me," which was inducted into the Grammy HaiJ·of Fame in 2005 . The book recounts Etting's early years as a radio performer who quickly attained national ce~ebri· ty. her recording career as "Sweetheart of Columbia Records," and her innovative work in film. The authors detail Etting's unhappy marriage to her husband and managetJ. Martin (Moe "The Gimp'') Snyder, her second mar~ riage to pianist an-anger MyTl Alderman. and her Colorado Springs retire; ment. The work also includes anecdotes. previ! ously unavailable photos. and both a discography and filmography. Lloyd has published arti- . cles on the ancient Greek polis. Euripides. Vergil. and the teaching of writing. In keeping with his passion for American popular music, he has played improvisational piano for public events for the past 25 years. Irwin is a computer specialist who has spent more than 15 years researching the life and career of Ruth Etting. His writings include articles on Etting and the liner notes for the CD Ruth Etting: Glorifier of American Song ( 1997). • !/.~ .....~: Cherishing Wildlife · Cynthia R.

AGES 13-15 WHEELING, W.Va.- In the delightful nev.. collection of stories and nearly 100 photographs that chronicle the lives of five orphan fawns, The Pleasure of Their Company: A Memoir: Adventures in HandRaising Orphan Fawm (published by AuthorHouse), author Cynthia R. Hubbard shares the adventures of these five exceptional friends that brought peace to her soul and a smile to her heart. Inspired by Hubbard's fond memories and comprised of a detailed collection of notes spanning 20 years, The Pleasure of Their Company invites readers to lie down in a barn stall with a week-old, five-pound fawn who is curled up alongside. to play with these wild creatures and to watch as these fragile orphans grow under Hubbard's love and care. Hubbard could never pave imagined that these unforgettable experiences would happen to her until her first encounter with a young fawn, which she named Little Lone Fawn. Abandoned by her kin, Little Lone Fawn came to be like a mentor to Hubbard, introducing her to a whole new world and teaching her much about fawns and deer. Hubbard would later raise and develop close relationships with four other fawns, including John Doe, Baby Buck, Bambino and Van Doc. With them she shared great jo) s and tt'agic sor- rows as she helped nurse them back to health when the)' were ill or injured, played and nestled with them. tried to protect them during hunting season and eventually experienced their heart-breaking departures. It is Hubbard's firm belief that the fawns· presence in her life was a God-given blessing and readers, too. will, experience the pro 7 found spiritual nature 'of Hubbard's relationship witli each fawn . "The fawns' stories, accompanied by 90 pho~ tographs. will let readers experience the same joys and challenges I did in hand-raising them, and as the reader:, share in the adventure, theif hearts will be captivated by these five memorable fawns as they tug on readers' heartstrings as forcefully as they did on their bottles," writes Hubbard. Heart-warming and magicaL The Pleasure of Their Company takes animallovers and readers of all ages on a journey they never could have imagined, where fragile yet wild creatures are taken into heart and home and never forgotten. Cynthia R. Hubbard is a West Virginia native and lifelong animal lover. Her special love of dogs led her to co-found a canine rescue and adoption organization in 1991, which is still in operation today.

AP revieW: Effects wow :but story limps in 'Avatar' BY JAKE COYLE ASSOCIATED PRESS When a film brashly asserts that it will change i:noviemaking forever, one feels the urge to either take its "king of the world" arrogance down a notch or hail it as the masterpiece it claims to be. But - and forgive us if this sounds too much like the dialogue in President Obama 's war room - what if there's a third option? James Cameron's 3-D ~Avatar" has all the smack of a Film Not To Miss - a movie whose effects are clearly revolutionary, a spectacle that millions will fmd adventure in. But it nevertheless feels unsatisfying and somehow lacks the pulse of a truly alive film. "Avatar" takes place in the year 2154 on the faraway moon of Pandora, where, befitting its mythological name, the ills of human life have been released. The Earth depleted, humans have arrived to mine an elusive mineral, wryly dubbed Unobtainium. The Resources Developmental Administration, a kind of· military contractor, is running the operation. At the top of the chain of command is the CEO-like Carter Selfridge (an excellent, ruthless Giovanni Ribisi), who's hellbent on showing quarterly profits for shareholders. His mus9le and head of security is the rock-jawed Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), who curses Pandora?s inhabitants (the Na'vi) as savages and considers the place worse than hell. In fact, it's a paradise. In Pandora, Cameron has fashioned a sensual, neon-colored, dreamlike world of lush jungle, gargantuan trees and floating mountains. Its splendor is easily the most wondrous aspect of "Avatar." • ·Cameron, like the deep sea diver that he is (his only films since 1997's "Titanic" have been underwater documentaries), lets his camera peer with fascination at the glow-in-theClark plant life, the sixlegged horses and - especially beautiful the nighttime frog-like creatures that, when touched. ppen a bright white sail and spiral into the air. It's this sense of discovery - in Pandora. in the wizardry of the filmmaking that makes "Avatar" often thrilling. Our main character is Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a brawny former Marine who lost the power of his legs m battle on Earth. His scientist twin brother has just died and Sully, having a matching genome, is invited to replace him in a mission to Pandora. He Joins a small group of scientists led by Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) who are attempting to learn more about the Na 'vi by conducting field studies and doing a bit of undercover science. They've created avatars of themselves to go about Pandora as a living, breathing Na'vi, while their hi1man bodies lie dormant in a sort of tanning bed (they return to them when their avatars sleep). The Na'vi are a 10-foottall species with translucent, aqua-colored skin, 3fingered hands and smooth, lean torsos. They • have long, neat dreadlocks for hair and wide, feline foreheads. The smart freckles on their brow faintly light up like tiny constellations. With beady headdresses and skimpy sashes. the Na'vi are clearly meant to evoke Native Americans, as well as similarly exploited tribes of South America and Africa. They pray over slain animals and feel at one with nature. Their tails (oh, yes, they also have tails) even connect - like nature's USB port - to things like mystical willow branches, horse manes or the hair of pterodactyl-like birds. It's no coincidence that the Na 'vi chief Eyukan is played by the Cherokee actor Wes Studi, whose credits include "Dances with Wolves," perhaps the film most thematically akin to "Avatar." "Avatar,'' which Cameron wrote as well as directed, is essentially a fairy tale that imagines a more favorable outcome for the oppressed fighting against the technology and might of Western Civilization. Sully, who quickly takes to life as a Na'vi, begins to feel his allegiances blurred. Though he has promised Quaritch to spy on the Na 'vi (their home lies atop an Unobtainium deposit), he begins to appreciate their ways. He also falls for Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), the Na'vi princess and the one who introduces him to the tribe. Many Na'vi are suspicious of Sully - "a demon in a fake body" - but they eventually embrace him. They accept him as a leader, even though he occasionally goes limp and vacant when his human body isn't connected. This off-switch makes for questionable leadership skills as if George Washington had been a narcoleptic. The inevitable battle has overt shades of current wars. Quaritch, drinking coffee during a bombing with a cavalier callousness like Robert Duvall in "Apocalypse Now," drops phrases like "pre-emptive strike," "fight terror with terror'' and even "shock and awe," a term appar- ently destined to survive for centuries in the lexicon. These historical and conteOfporary overtones bring the otherworldly "Avatar" down to Ea11h and down to cliche. The message of environmentalism and of (literal) tree-hugging resonates, but such a plainly just cause also saps ''Avatar' 1 of drama and complexity. It's also a funny message coming from such a swaggering behemoth of technology like "Avatar." As for the effects, they are undeniable. 3-0 has recently become en vogue, but only now has it been used with such a depth of field The movie is also a notable advance for performance capture, which is how the Na'vi were created. As was done with Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" and King Kong in "King Kong," the Na'vi were made with cameras and sensors recording the movements of the actors and transposing them onto CGI creatures. Seldom has this been done in a way that captur~ the most important thing the eyes - but Cameron employed a new technology (a camera rigged like a helmet on the actors) to capture their faces up close. The green, flickering eyes of the Na 'vi are a big step forward, but there's still an unmistakable emptiness to a movie so filled with digital creations. Ultimately, the technology of "Avatar" isn't the problem - moviemaking, itself, is an exercise in technology. But one need look no further than Wes Anderson ·s "Fantastic Mr. Fox" to see how technique - whether it be antique stop-motion animation or state-of-the-art 3-D performance capture - can find soulfulness at 24 frames per second. ''Avatar," a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare. sensuality, language and some smoking. Running time: 161 minutes. Two and half stars out of four. NEW YORK - News doesn't come often to the Land of Sweets. that delectable place where the Sugarplum Fairy has reigned supreme since 1954 in George Balanchin. famous "Nutcracker" at New York City Ballet. But this year, there are two new developments- and no, the lovely fairy hasn't broken up with her Cavalier, and the Mouse King doesn't suddenry win that battle against the prince. either. First, it's a whole lot easier to get to your seat with a small child. and to escape if that child suddenly gets restless. hungry or loud. The former New York State Theater at Lincoln Center has two new, much-needed side aisles, making navigation easier for everyone. young and old. Everything has been spruced up in what's now called the Da'vid H. Koch Theater, after the financier who donated $100 million to see it happen. There arc new seats. carpeting and lighting. not to mention a cool lift that allows the orchestra to rise up and see the audience (and vice versa). There are also improved acoustics, a huge benefit to the New York City Opera, which shares the space. But there's more news on the Nutcracker front. American Ballet Theatre, not content to let the City Ballet version dominate the hearts of .New York's children. recently announced it will launch its own "Nutcracker" next winter, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It will be staged by one of the world's top choreographers. Alexei Ratmansky, former artistic director of the Bolsho. Ballet. Will this create a bitter rivalry between the boroughs, a battle of toy soldiers. marzipan shepherdesses and dewdrops? It's too soon to tell. As for the current ··Nutcracker." it's still packing them in after more than a half-century. Balanchine's magic formula - his own classic choreography, soaring Tchaikovsky music and a wonderfully instin. tive way of using children - has not lost its potency. There might have been a little something strange in the backstage water fountain on Thursday. though, because two dancers fell splat on the floor during the performance, one in the first act, one in the second. It's sometimes beneficial to see dancers fall - it shows they're human and that the steps are actually hard work, every time. (It also made one wonder: If dancers fall on solid ground, how DO those lovely Snowflakes dance night after night on piles of confetti and never fall?) The lead roles, though. were danced without a hitch. and beautifully - especially by the warm and lovely Tiler Peck as the Sugarplum Fairy. Peck is shaping up to be one of the more exciting dancers on the ballet scene: She dances with style, control and an instinctive sense of where the music is leading her. And her fresh, unforced smile lights up the auditorium. Joaquin de Luz made a dashing partner as the Cavalier, and Ashley Bouder was technically proficient as always as Dewdrop. But her performance didn't seem as fresh or exciting as Peck's. As for the children, Callie Reiff was a graceful Marie and Colby Clark an adorable Fritz. her brat brother. It was the prince, though - Lance Chantiles-Wertz, with a thick mane of blond curls that reminded one of Antoine de Saint Exupery's little prince - who had the real acting chops. His mimed version of his battle against the Mouse King was crystal clear. earning justly deserved respect from those yummy citizens of the Land of Sweets.

Increase its chances of survival by reducing its stress both inside your home and when planted outside. Prepare the place outside by predigging the hole and placing soil removed in a wheelbarrow and wheeling it into a garage or barn to keep it from freezing. Refill the hole prepared with teaves. peat moss or straw then place a tarp over the hole. Leave the balled and burlapped tree outside as long as possible. Store on the n01th side of house or barn and mulch it in with six to 12 inches of mulch. Move into garage or unheated porch a couple of days before decorating in your home. Place inside your home for only two or three days (five days maximum) in a cool spot (60° F. best). If possible place away from heat ducts. Place balled and burlap tree in large plastic or metal container (old washtub type). Keep soil ball moist when inside the house, it may take one to two gallons a day. Do not allow soil ball to stand in water. Too much water kills the roots. After enjoying its beauty and fragrance during Christmas, remove all tree ornaments and lights, Plant tree as soon as possible in prepared hole. Remove tarp and temporary fill (leaves, peat moss, straw) and plant tree so top of soil ball ts one inch or so above surrounding soil line. Stake the tree to keep it firmly in place for the first year or two. Water the plant in well. ••• ' Are you interested in the potential of wind energy in Southeast Ohio?

The Turkey Habitat Improvement Project will focus on eliminating troublesome invasive species on land near and adjacent to the Wayne National Forest and designated State wildlife areas. Bush Honeysuckle and Tree of Heaven control will provide more beneficial wooded habitat for turkeys. "Active sustainable forest management includes "weeding'' the forest to maintain desirable native plants and animals resulting in a healthy diverse forest," explains Randy Showalter, Regional Wildlife Biologist with the National Wild Turkey Federation. " Jason Crislip. the NRCS District Conservationist in Meigs, says that funds are available through the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for pri~ate landowners to participate in the Turkey Habitat Improvement Project. '"When the landowner contacts us, we'll discuss their land and talk about their habitat management goals,'' states Crislip. We'll also·rcview the eligibjlity for the cost-share programs and the documents needed for a contract." : :The WH IP and EQIP programs provide cost-share for the landowner to implement the habitat management plan.

The farm in this community outside Columbus is the first in Ohio to install robotic milking machines that allow cows to be milked whenever they want without a human hand touching them_ Ohio farm's new machines• allow cows to self-milk B Y K ATHY LYNN G RAY THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH PLAIN CITY (AP) Every dairy 'farmer's dream is playing out at the Gruenbaum family farm. The cows milk themselves. No kidding. The farm in this community outside Columbus is the first in Ohio to install robotic milking machines that allow cows to be milked whenever they want without a . human hand touching them. "It's just amazing what it'll do," said Kenneth Gruenbaum, 66. as he watched cow after cow meander into a stall at their farm and give milk through a machine. · It's a sea change for Gruenbaum, who grew up milking cows by hand on the 144-year-old farm he now shares with 40-yearold son David. Five weeks ago, the Gruenbaums installed two robotic units. each with its own stall and milking machine, manufactured by Lely Group in the Netherlands. Since then, they've been teaching their 105 cows how to self-milk. Cows walk into the stalL lured by food. The machine's arm positions itself beneath the bulging udder. and small brushes wash the cow's teats . Four tubes. called cups, swing out. and one attaches 'itself to each teat with the help of a laser scanning device. The milk flows into the cups, then through a system of pipes into a large container The cups disengage when the udder is empty, and the cow moves out of the stall. The entire process takes about six minutes . "It's just jaw-dropping to see how everything works," said Sandra Gruenbaum. Ken's wife and David's mother. "We had one individual (who expected) robots that looked like little men doing the milking." Besides eliminating the back-breaking work of attaching milking cups to cow teats by hand, the robotic machines make for a healthier herd, said David Gruenbaum. Sensors monitor each cow. recording the animal's weight, milk output and mflk quality and how often it goes in to be milked. And because the cows are being milked more often than the usual twice a day, they have had no cases of serious mastitis - inflam- Poultry may soon rule the roost on Kentucky farms LOUISVILLE. Ky.
