OUR VIEW Restoration tWJk draws tip <fhat · By the time you read this, the last of the snow and il:e that hit the area Jan. 27-28 will bave or wiD be melting away under warmer temperatures. With below-freezing tempera- · tures keeping the predpitation pretty solid on back roads until the thaw, the job of clearing those roads or making them passable, and restoring electricity to people who lost power when the ice felled trees and electric lines, was left to a concentration of individuals who deserve a big thanks from all of us. ROIId workers for Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties, and for the Obio Department of Transportation and West Vuginia Division of Highways, were on the go around the clock during the storm and after, spreading salt, cinders and grit so people who had to work could get there. Driving on icy surfaces is no picnic for anyone and even with more · powerful and heavy dump truCks leading the. clearing effort, there is risk involved and the individuals driving those trucks were serving us, the public. That's a thought we nmst keep in mind. · . We tend not to think about these things on those more moderale winter mornings when a skiff of snow has made travel tricky. but county, OOOT and WVDOH employees are the people ensuring we get to where we want to go. Hopefully, the remaining five weeks of winter will not present further challenges than those posed by the ice storm. The storm. the worst in the area since February 2003, effectively cut off power to thousands of customers of American Electric Power and Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative in Ohio and AEP customers in West Virginia, some for almost a week. Restoring service became a herculean task because poles and lines in remote areas went down, and sometimes the lines you saw along the roadside weighted down by ice-crusted trees were not the culprits for the loss of service in your area: The restoration effort drew' linemen from not only the region but from out of state. Their work is dilngerous too, especially in the harsh conditions brought on by the storm. The fact you have power now, and our ability to write this piece. is directly attributable to their work and of all utility employees, even down to the community relations staff providing news organizations with updates on when power was projected to return. . · · To everyone who labored to return life to normal after the storm - our thanks and apprecihtion.

D.C., Steele has both the interest and the skill to reach out to the many that either jumped off the GOP boat or never boarded it because they believe the party of Lincoln should be more inclusive. Steele should not be forced to become the Republican's answer to Barack Obama. He must be allowed to do what former Democratic Chairman Howard Dean did for the Democrats: · become a strategisi with a vision and roadmap for how the party can regain its voice, develop its message, and deliver it effectively and persuasively. · The day after Obama's election, a popular satirical newspaper. The Onion, ran the headline "Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job." The Onion could easily use the same headline to announce Steele's election as RNC chair. The level of skill required to rebuild the Republican Party is right · up theft with the skill required to rebuild the country. Both leaders bave their work cut out for them. For the sake of our nation, I hope they both succeed.

OUR VIEW Restoration tWJk draws tip <fhat · By the time you read this, the last of the snow and il:e that hit the area Jan. 27-28 will bave or wiD be melting away under warmer temperatures. With below-freezing tempera- · tures keeping the predpitation pretty solid on back roads until the thaw, the job of clearing those roads or making them passable, and restoring electricity to people who lost power when the ice felled trees and electric lines, was left to a concentration of individuals who deserve a big thanks from all of us. ROIId workers for Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties, and for the Obio Department of Transportation and West Vuginia Division of Highways, were on the go around the clock during the storm and after, spreading salt, cinders and grit so people who had to work could get there. Driving on icy surfaces is no picnic for anyone and even with more · powerful and heavy dump truCks leading the. clearing effort, there is risk involved and the individuals driving those trucks were serving us, the public. That's a thought we nmst keep in mind. · . We tend not to think about these things on those more moderale winter mornings when a skiff of snow has made travel tricky. but county, OOOT and WVDOH employees are the people ensuring we get to where we want to go. Hopefully, the remaining five weeks of winter will not present further challenges than those posed by the ice storm. The storm. the worst in the area since February 2003, effectively cut off power to thousands of customers of American Electric Power and Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative in Ohio and AEP customers in West Virginia, some for almost a week. Restoring service became a herculean task because poles and lines in remote areas went down, and sometimes the lines you saw along the roadside weighted down by ice-crusted trees were not the culprits for the loss of service in your area: The restoration effort drew' linemen from not only the region but from out of state. Their work is dilngerous too, especially in the harsh conditions brought on by the storm. The fact you have power now, and our ability to write this piece. is directly attributable to their work and of all utility employees, even down to the community relations staff providing news organizations with updates on when power was projected to return. . · · To everyone who labored to return life to normal after the storm - our thanks and apprecihtion.

At the time. the Illinois .cooperative hoped that by operating its own plant and tal;;ing hogs only from its . members, farmers would be brotighi closer to consumers · willing to pay premium prices for high-quality meat. Four years later, that dream is in turmoil. Some members say they've been underpaid for their ho~s some to the point of rutn. · A majority of the Belleville. 111.-based cooperative's shareholders voted against a measure last week by critics who hoped to explore selling the 6-yearold enterprise, said member Don Voelker. who owns a dwindling ho~ farm near Waterloo.

Vot:lker said. But votes in favor of the measure only numbered 150,575. or about one-lifth of the total shares. . Backers of the measure publicly have accused the cooperative's board of mis- · management, pressing that they were not being heard. Members also have complained they're being paid $20 a head less than fair matlcet value, costing them millions. Voelker said the displeasure is reflected in the cooperative 's membership · 118 hog producers. down from the some 200 when the cooperative began in 2002.

Missouri wine industry, the grape gods have been kind to vineyard owners like Sarah Schmidt - perhaps . too kind. . A cool, wet spring and summer produced enough grapes to fill the storage tanks at Schmidt's Baltimore Bend Vineyards with juice, fulfill all of her contracts to supply. fruit to other wineries and still leave grapes hanging in her 7-acre vineyard. "We had an outstanding . crop this year." said Schmidt, who operates in Waverly. about 60 miles east of Kansas City. "We even had more grapes than we could sell. which is not a great place ·to be for a grape grower. ' The quality was very good and we had an abundant crop." Last year. a warm March and April followed by subfreezing temperatures during the Easter weekend cla.imed about half the 30 tons of fruit Schmidt's vineyards produce, she estimated. wiping out abOut threefourths of her white varietals and a quarter of her reds. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Missouri vineyards pro- duced only 2,500 tons of grapes in 2007, a 40 percent drop from the previous year despite the state gaining an extra 100 acres of production capacity. That left the state's more than 80 wineries scrambling for fruit to make their products. Many vintners, such as Tim Puchta, owner of Adam Puchta Winery in ~ermann. had .to go as far away as New York to buy grapes. "Ninety-five percent of my growers got hammered. That allowed us to bring in . as ·much as we could from out of state last year," said Puchta, who is chairman of the Missouri Wine and Grape Board. "The freeze pretty much changed my business plan for the next five years." Missouri wineries produced around 900,000 galIons of wine last year, ranking it lith in the nation and far behind California's 566 million gallons. But the industry is an important economic engine for communities in the wine-producing region, generating an estimated $700 million in taxes, tourism, ·salaries and other benefits. . This year's crop is much · larger, but Puchta said wine enthusiasts shouldn't ex.pect much ofa price break when the vintages begin hitting shelves next year. "It's going to be a little difficult with the economy the way it is," Puchta said, noting that the price of grapes hasn't changed and wineries are paying more for bottles. corks and fuel. "Our cost of production was still what it was and has been for the last few years." But the wines coinmg out of this year's crop could be better than average because the abundance of fruit allows producers to be more selective. said Cory Bomgaars. owner of Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport. "On . a ~hort year, ;rou have to take your best wmes and some of your things that aren't your hi*hest grade and mix. them, Bomgaars sa1d. "Now we can make a good product and a reserve product this year." Bomgaars estimates he went 40 percent over his previous maximum harvest this year, compared with being 60 percent under a year ~)go. "It was a pretty intense harvest because it was very heavy and pretty drawn out because it was a cool harvest as well," he said. noting he completed his harvest a month later than normal.

The grim figures were further proof that the nation's job climate is deteriorating at an alanning clip with no end in sight. The Labor Department·s report, released Friday, showed the terrible toll the drawn-out recess.ion is having on worl;;ers and companies. It also puts even mQre pressure on Congress and President Barack Obama's administration to revive the economy through a stimulus packa~e and a revamped financtal bailout plan, both of which are nearing completion. · Obama decried as "inexcusable and irresponsible" the delay of his economic recovery legislation in Congress with an estimated 3.6 million Americans losing their jobs since the recession began in December 2007. About half of them have lost jobs in only the past three months : Obama acknowledged the $900-billion-plus stimulus plan was not perfect and pledged to work with lawmakers to refine the measure. which he called "absolutely necessary." "These numbers demand action. · It is time for Congress to act." Obama said bluntly. "That's 3.6 million Americans who need our help ."

Factories slashed 207.000 jobs in January. the largest one-month drop since October 1982. partly retlecting heavy losses at plants making autos and related parts.

At the time. the Illinois .cooperative hoped that by operating its own plant and tal;;ing hogs only from its . members, farmers would be brotighi closer to consumers · willing to pay premium prices for high-quality meat. Four years later, that dream is in turmoil. Some members say they've been underpaid for their ho~s some to the point of rutn. · A majority of the Belleville. 111.-based cooperative's shareholders voted against a measure last week by critics who hoped to explore selling the 6-yearold enterprise, said member Don Voelker. who owns a dwindling ho~ farm near Waterloo.

Backers of the measure publicly have accused the cooperative's board of mis- · management, pressing that they were not being heard.

Missouri wine industry, the grape gods have been kind to vineyard owners like Sarah Schmidt - perhaps . too kind. . A cool, wet spring and summer produced enough grapes to fill the storage tanks at Schmidt's Baltimore Bend Vineyards with juice, fulfill all of her contracts to supply. fruit to other wineries and still leave grapes hanging in her 7-acre vineyard. "We had an outstanding . crop this year." said Schmidt, who operates in Waverly. about 60 miles east of Kansas City. "We even had more grapes than we could sell. which is not a great place ·to be for a grape grower. ' The quality was very good and we had an abundant crop." Last year. a warm March and April followed by subfreezing temperatures during the Easter weekend cla.imed about half the 30 tons of fruit Schmidt's vineyards produce, she estimated. wiping out abOut threefourths of her white varietals and a quarter of her reds. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Missouri vineyards pro- duced only 2,500 tons of grapes in 2007, a 40 percent drop from the previous year despite the state gaining an extra 100 acres of production capacity. That left the state's more than 80 wineries scrambling for fruit to make their products. Many vintners, such as Tim Puchta, owner of Adam Puchta Winery in ~ermann. had .to go as far away as New York to buy grapes. "Ninety-five percent of my growers got hammered. That allowed us to bring in . as ·much as we could from out of state last year," said Puchta, who is chairman of the Missouri Wine and Grape Board. "The freeze pretty much changed my business plan for the next five years." Missouri wineries produced around 900,000 galIons of wine last year, ranking it lith in the nation and far behind California's 566 million gallons. But the industry is an important economic engine for communities in the wine-producing region, generating an estimated $700 million in taxes, tourism, ·salaries and other benefits. . This year's crop is much · larger, but Puchta said wine enthusiasts shouldn't ex.pect much ofa price break when the vintages begin hitting shelves next year. "It's going to be a little difficult with the economy the way it is," Puchta said, noting that the price of grapes hasn't changed and wineries are paying more for bottles. corks and fuel. "Our cost of production was still what it was and has been for the last few years." But the wines coinmg out of this year's crop could be better than average because the abundance of fruit allows producers to be more selective. said Cory Bomgaars. owner of Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport. "On . a ~hort year, ;rou have to take your best wmes and some of your things that aren't your hi*hest grade and mix. them, Bomgaars sa1d. "Now we can make a good product and a reserve product this year." Bomgaars estimates he went 40 percent over his previous maximum harvest this year, compared with being 60 percent under a year ~)go. "It was a pretty intense harvest because it was very heavy and pretty drawn out because it was a cool harvest as well," he said. noting he completed his harvest a month later than normal.

The grim figures were further proof that the nation's job climate is deteriorating at an alanning clip with no end in sight. The Labor Department·s report, released Friday, showed the terrible toll the drawn-out recess.ion is having on worl;;ers and companies. It also puts even mQre pressure on Congress and President Barack Obama's administration to revive the economy through a stimulus packa~e and a revamped financtal bailout plan, both of which are nearing completion. · Obama decried as "inexcusable and irresponsible" the delay of his economic recovery legislation in Congress with an estimated 3.6 million Americans losing their jobs since the recession began in December 2007. About half of them have lost jobs in only the past three months : Obama acknowledged the $900-billion-plus stimulus plan was not perfect and pledged to work with lawmakers to refine the measure. which he called "absolutely necessary." "These numbers demand action. · It is time for Congress to act." Obama said bluntly. "That's 3.6 million Americans who need our help ."
