Both Obama and Hillary Clinton blamed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for the loss of (llore than 200,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 14 years. They even su~gested scrapping the pact 1f Canada and Mexico don't agree to major revisions. · This might be good politics, but it's terrible policy. International commerce is a huge benefit to America, the world's largest exporting nation. B.oth Democrats know that, but they caved in to the close-minded, backward-looking voices in the labor movement who have turned trade into a five-letter curse word. Contrast their pandering to the candor of John McCain, who repeated in Ohio the same message he used in Michigan: "Some of those manufacturing jobs are not coming back; and you know it and I know-it." Even though eight of I0 Ohio voters said NAFTA cost the state jobs, McCain was courageous enough to tell a town-hall meeting in Rocky River: "The economists that I know and trust and the history that I study ... says that free trade is the best thing that can happen to our nation. When we have practiced protectionism, it has had devastating consequences." almost unanimous assent within the economics community. That proposition is that free trade among Cokie natiohs promotes economic and prosperity." Steven The reasons. he added, Roberts are "disarmingly simple." Trade encourages each individual, and each nation, to produce the goods they He's ahsolutely right. make most efficiently.

According to Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, 80 Ohio companies are making products for the wind-power and solarpanel industries. "Once we get through the current economic storm we're in," he told t~e Blade, "we're going to see an upturn in manufacturing in job growth and job cre- atlon." The viet ims of that stor.rh deserve help: better jobless benefits, broader l)ealth insurance, the training they need to take the jobs creal· ed by that "upturn." But it's time for the dem· agoguery to end. Democratic politicians, and the news media, should get tl:tis story right. It's always easy to take a picture of a shuttered plant gale and interview a frustrated 55· year-old who worked there all his life. It's harder to find the 25-year-old who has a job making - arid exporting - solar panel·s; or the parents who can afford a cheaper bike or sweater for their children because those items were made in China. So far, on the trade issue, McCain is living up to his "straight talk" r~putation , while the Democrats are twisting the truth : (Steve Roberts' latest book is "My Fat/ret's · Houses: Memoir of a Family " (William Morrow, 2005 ).

Both Obama and Hillary Clinton blamed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for the loss of (llore than 200,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 14 years. They even su~gested scrapping the pact 1f Canada and Mexico don't agree to major revisions. · This might be good politics, but it's terrible policy. International commerce is a huge benefit to America, the world's largest exporting nation. B.oth Democrats know that, but they caved in to the close-minded, backward-looking voices in the labor movement who have turned trade into a five-letter curse word. Contrast their pandering to the candor of John McCain, who repeated in Ohio the same message he used in Michigan: "Some of those manufacturing jobs are not coming back; and you know it and I know-it." Even though eight of I0 Ohio voters said NAFTA cost the state jobs, McCain was courageous enough to tell a town-hall meeting in Rocky River: "The economists that I know and trust and the history that I study ... says that free trade is the best thing that can happen to our nation. When we have practiced protectionism, it has had devastating consequences." almost unanimous assent within the economics community. That proposition is that free trade among Cokie natiohs promotes economic and prosperity." Steven The reasons. he added, Roberts are "disarmingly simple."

According to Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, 80 Ohio companies are making products for the wind-power and solarpanel industries. "Once we get through the current economic storm we're in," he told t~e Blade, "we're going to see an upturn in manufacturing in job growth and job cre- atlon." The viet ims of that stor.rh deserve help: better jobless benefits, broader l)ealth insurance, the training they need to take the jobs creal· ed by that "upturn." But it's time for the dem· agoguery to end. Democratic politicians, and the news media, should get tl:tis story right. It's always easy to take a picture of a shuttered plant gale and interview a frustrated 55· year-old who worked there all his life. It's harder to find the 25-year-old who has a job making - arid exporting - solar panel·s; or the parents who can afford a cheaper bike or sweater for their children because those items were made in China. So far, on the trade issue, McCain is living up to his "straight talk" r~putation , while the Democrats are twisting the truth : (Steve Roberts' latest book is "My Fat/ret's · Houses: Memoir of a Family " (William Morrow, 2005 ).

Several crew chiefs have confirmed that by leaving the oil tank lid off and/or creating an opening that allows air to flow in, the air is able to circulate through the car, exit through·the windows and create as much as I0 percent more downforce. Earlier Friday, Edwards pointed out that he and his teammates were all fast in preseason testing at California and Las Vegas and that the car had passed postrace inspection following 'his victory the previous week in Fontana. "After the race (in Las Vegas) that oil 'tank cover was definitely off the car," the driver said. "It was an absolute mistake or a failure for that (cover) to not stay in position. There was no mtent at all and we suffered our penalties and that's the reality. "The great thing about it is, the amount of downforce or advantage that might come from that, we don't even know. Unlike some of the other teams, we have not gone and tested illegal things. I specifically asked what kind of advantage would this be and my guys could not tell me." A number of people in ihe Cup garage were amused by the Roush Fenway team's explanation. Elliott Sadler viewed it with some disdain. "I think that it insults my intelligence as a race car dnver when you try and tell me that you accidentally left the · oil tank lid off," Sadler said.

Several crew chiefs have confirmed that by leaving the oil tank lid off and/or creating an opening that allows air to flow in, the air is able to circulate through the car, exit through·the windows and create as much as I0 percent more downforce. Earlier Friday, Edwards pointed out that he and his teammates were all fast in preseason testing at California and Las Vegas and that the car had passed postrace inspection following 'his victory the previous week in Fontana. "After the race (in Las Vegas) that oil 'tank cover was definitely off the car," the driver said. "It was an absolute mistake or a failure for that (cover) to not stay in position. There was no mtent at all and we suffered our penalties and that's the reality. "The great thing about it is, the amount of downforce or advantage that might come from that, we don't even know. Unlike some of the other teams, we have not gone and tested illegal things. I specifically asked what kind of advantage would this be and my guys could not tell me." A number of people in ihe Cup garage were amused by the Roush Fenway team's explanation. Elliott Sadler viewed it with some disdain.

Around 60 frrst graders and their teachers at Southern recently celebrated the birth of Theodore "Ted" Seuss ·Geisel with a week of events meant · to honor the man and his work. '• Events' included parents reading Dr. Seuss books to students, a birthday ~arty for the author, and eating a specml serving of green eggs and ham. The secret to green eggs and ham is not just green food coloring; but the right .amount of green food coloring. Speaking of "Green Eggs and Ham," the book was read to students by their principal Shawn Bush on Friday. Bush was kind enough to ·pass along his special "Cat in the Hat" inspired hat to a lucky student before finishing the book. Bush, whose favorite Seuss book is "Red Fish, Blue Fish," asked the students which Dr. Seuss books they liked. Some responded, "Sam I am," which was a testament to the catchy phrases and rhymes · of Pr. Seuss. Seuss himself credited ·his mother with "the rhythm in which I write and the urgency in which I do .it." · His mother worked in a bakery and in order to remember the specials she'd make up chants, chants which she sometimes sang to her son, plant- · ing the seed of rhyme and calculated · silliness which makes " fah ·who foraze, dah w,ho doraze" make sense to millions. Meg Guinther, first grade teacher a_t Southern, said the school celebrates Dr. Seuss' birthday every year and that his work is a big hit with her students with "rhyming words" ap~aling to their developing reading skills.

Around 60 frrst graders and their teachers at Southern recently celebrated the birth of Theodore "Ted" Seuss ·Geisel with a week of events meant · to honor the man and his work. '• Events' included parents reading Dr. Seuss books to students, a birthday ~arty for the author, and eating a specml serving of green eggs and ham. The secret to green eggs and ham is not just green food coloring; but the right .amount of green food coloring. Speaking of "Green Eggs and Ham," the book was read to students by their principal Shawn Bush on Friday. Bush was kind enough to ·pass along his special "Cat in the Hat" inspired hat to a lucky student before finishing the book. Bush, whose favorite Seuss book is "Red Fish, Blue Fish," asked the students which Dr. Seuss books they liked. Some responded, "Sam I am," which was a testament to the catchy phrases and rhymes · of Pr. Seuss. Seuss himself credited ·his mother with "the rhythm in which I write and the urgency in which I do .it." · His mother worked in a bakery and in order to remember the specials she'd make up chants, chants which she sometimes sang to her son, plant- · ing the seed of rhyme and calculated · silliness which makes " fah ·who foraze, dah w,ho doraze" make sense to millions. Meg Guinther, first grade teacher a_t Southern, said the school celebrates Dr. Seuss' birthday every year and that his work is a big hit with her students with "rhyming words" ap~aling to their developing reading skills. Guinther's favorite Seuss book is "The Lotax." · . It seems no rnatter the age .of his readers, Seuss ,has left an imprint on minds "tall and small" with a message that reminds "Oh the thinks you can think up if only you try!" · Above: Around 60 first graders cut out special hats made to look like the "Cat in the Hat" during Seuss Week at Southern Elementary.

ORDER EARLY The Fabric Shop 110 West Main St Open Mon.- Sat 9:00 - 5:00 Pllmeroy, OH �' ENTERTAINMENT Jackson BY JOHN GEROME Af' ENTERTAINMENT WRITER FRANKLIN, Tenn. Alan Jackson presses a plastic jug to his lips and takes a big swig. "I live about 10 minutes from here. This is all right. I'll be home in time to watch the news I reckon." Jackson, who once worked in. an. auto repair shop and still likes to get his hands greasy now and then, is taik· ing to a small audience watching him tape a Country Music Television show, but he might as well be jawing with his buddies over the engine of an old Chevy. He comes across as 4ownhome as pulled pork, even though many of his songs have a serious message under their folksy veneer. . He returns to traditional country on his new album, "Good Time," after a gospel disc and the Alison Kraussproduced "Like Red on a Rose:' _ The gospel ser, "Precious Memories," was meant a·s a Christmas gift for his mother and became an unexpect· ed sales hit. The project with Krauss was conceived as a bluegrass record but ended up a collection of love songs that felt more adult contemporary than country. While it drew criti· cal praise, it remains his only album besides a holiday record to sell fewer than I million copies. "That's what I said before we made it. I said it will get good reviews or . win a Grarnmy, but I don't think fans will get it," he said of the record, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2006. "But what the fans heard, t~cy loved. I think they didn't get the opportu· nity to hear 1t because radio didn't embrace it." That's new territory for . Jackson. a hltmaker since his 1989 debut with 31 No. I sin· gles. And you get the feeling with "Good Tfme" that he's out to shake things up. He wrote alll7 tracks by himself - a lot of songs for a country CD and a bold move to write all of them alone, even for a superstar - and he reunited with his longtime producer Keith Stegall. His label, Arista Nashville, wanted a more traditiomll 12 cuts on the record and on! y paid for ·that many, but Jackson felt strongly about the rest and included them at his own expense. where it ends up." Still, at his best he distills complex, sometimes thorny issues into simple stories. In "Little Man" he tells of big box retailers and chain stores squeezing out small businesses; in "Gone Country" of carpetbaggers cashing in on the country boom. "Drive" deals with the bond between father .and child and . how it spans generations. · On the new record, he has a song called "I Still Like Bologna" that expresses a middle-aged man's frustration with new technology, even though he knows it's for the best. "But I still like bologna on white bread now and then. And the sound of the whippoorwill down a country road," he sings. It's an honest sentiment from someone who turns 50 this year.

HARPAZ M' TRAVEl EDITOR NEW YORK - More ch.oices in food, activities, itineraries and luxury are some of the trends shaping the cruise industry for 2008. But the big unknown is what will happen with prices. The Cruise Lines International Association estimates that 12.6 million people cruised worldwide in 2007 on the 24 cruise lines CLIA represents, a 4.6 percent increase over 2006. CLI~ believes demand will · hold, with a projected 12.8 million passengers for 2008 despite the weakening economy. A recent CLIA survey of 500 travel agents found 90 percent expect 2008 cruise sales to be as good or better than 2007. But consumers with flexible vacation plans may be in for some deals.

Mason County INSIDE �' ENTERTAINMENT Jackson BY JOHN GEROME Af' ENTERTAINMENT WRITER FRANKLIN, Tenn. Alan Jackson presses a plastic jug to his lips and takes a big swig. "I live about 10 minutes from here. This is all right. I'll be home in time to watch the news I reckon." Jackson, who once worked in. an. auto repair shop and still likes to get his hands greasy now and then, is taik· ing to a small audience watching him tape a Country Music Television show, but he might as well be jawing with his buddies over the engine of an old Chevy. He comes across as 4ownhome as pulled pork, even though many of his songs have a serious message under their folksy veneer. . He returns to traditional country on his new album, "Good Time," after a gospel disc and the Alison Kraussproduced "Like Red on a Rose:' _ The gospel ser, "Precious Memories," was meant a·s a Christmas gift for his mother and became an unexpect· ed sales hit. The project with Krauss was conceived as a bluegrass record but ended up a collection of love songs that felt more adult contemporary than country. While it drew criti· cal praise, it remains his only album besides a holiday record to sell fewer than I million copies. "That's what I said before we made it. I said it will get good reviews or . win a Grarnmy, but I don't think fans will get it," he said of the record, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2006. "But what the fans heard, t~cy loved. I think they didn't get the opportu· nity to hear 1t because radio didn't embrace it." That's new territory for . Jackson. a hltmaker since his 1989 debut with 31 No. I sin· gles. And you get the feeling with "Good Tfme" that he's out to shake things up. He wrote alll7 tracks by himself - a lot of songs for a country CD and a bold move to write all of them alone, even for a superstar - and he reunited with his longtime producer Keith Stegall. His label, Arista Nashville, wanted a more traditiomll 12 cuts on the record and on! y paid for ·that many, but Jackson felt strongly about the rest and included them at his own expense. where it ends up." Still, at his best he distills complex, sometimes thorny issues into simple stories. In "Little Man" he tells of big box retailers and chain stores squeezing out small businesses; in "Gone Country" of carpetbaggers cashing in on the country boom. "Drive" deals with the bond between father .and child and . how it spans generations. · On the new record, he has a song called "I Still Like Bologna" that expresses a middle-aged man's frustration with new technology, even though he knows it's for the best. "But I still like bologna on white bread now and then. And the sound of the whippoorwill down a country road," he sings. It's an honest sentiment from someone who turns 50 this year.

But the big unknown is what will happen with prices.

Department of Agriculture announced that, because market prices are high, producers with corn, grain sorghum, soybeans and/or other oilseed base acres enrolled in USDA's Direct and Counter-cyclical Program will not receive partial 2007 -crop-year counter-cyclical payments. Average market pri,ce projections are above level~ that would trigger these payments. The 2002 Farm Bill requires that, if triggered, these payments be made for the 2007 crop after the first six months of the marketing year, which began on Sept. l , 2007, for these commodities. Timing and calculation .of 2007-crop Countercyclical Payments (CCP): grain sorghum and 94 percent for soybeans. USDA calculated CCP rates for these commodities usi'!g the February World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WAS DE), which was released on Feb. 8, 2008. USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board issues WASDE reports. which provide the most current supply-and-demand forecasts available. Partial payments for other commodities: USDA announced on Dec. 3, 2007, that producers who are enrolled in the DCP and have wheat, barley and/or oats base acres would not receive partial CCPs because average market price projections for those commodities exceed- ed levels that trigger these payments. On Feb. 9, 2008, USDA announced that producers with enrolled upland cotton and/or peanuts base acres would receive an estimated $300 million and $15 million, respectively, in partial payments and that producers with enrolled rice base acres would not receive partial CCPs because the average market price projection exceeded the level that triggers these payments. · Overpaymenfs: The 2002 .Farm Bill requires that any overpayments to producers must be repaid.

Signup for dairy aid progr8m resumes WASHINGTON Eligible dairy producers who suffered productionlosses in 2005, 2006 or 2007 may apply to receive benefits under the Dairy Disaster Assistance Program Ill, effective March 5, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced. Producers can sign up at their local USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) service center until May 5, when signup will end. This dairy program will provide $16 million in benefits to dairy producers for dairy production losses that occurred between Jan. I, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2007, because of natural disasters. To be eligible, a producer's operation must be in a coun'ty designated a major disaster or emergency area by the president or declared a natural disaster area by the secretary of agriculture between Jan. l, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2007. Producers in contiguous counties are also eligible. Producers in counties declared disaster area~ by the president may be eligible, even though the agricultural loss was not covered by the declaration, if an FSA Administrator's Physical Loss Notice covered such losses. The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (2007 Act), signed by President Bush in May 2007, authorizes this progran!.

More than two dozen porkers patrol' his orchard, gobbling down fallen, immature apples containing the beetle's larvae. After a successful trial run late last spring, he · and some. researcners at Michigan State University are preparing for year two of the experiment at AIMar Orchards and Cidery in eastern Michigan. They hope their work wi II someday help fruit growers throughout the world reduce the use of pesticides while diversifying their agricul- lura! operations, as he is doing. He plans to periodically sell off the offspring of his four original hogs, keeping only those he needs. "I'm not ready to say that everybody should run out and do this but I'll tell you, after the ftrst year, I'm a whole lot more optimistic and excited by the possibilities," said Dave Epstein, a tree fruit pest-management specialist at the university and the project's lead researcher. The quarter-inch-long plum curculio is particularly difficult for growers like Koan to control because no good organic controls have been developed for them. The beetle can be controlled conventionally, often with the pesticide azinphosmethyl. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is phasing out the powerful pesticide, marketed under the trade . name Guthion; be~ause of the risks it poses to farm workers and to the environment.

USDA not offering partial payments . . Producers enrolled in the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) may receive !=ounter-cyclical Payments (CCPs) when "effective" prices for eligible commodities are less than their respectiv~ "targei" prices specified in ·the . 2002 Farm Bill. USDA calculates CCPs based on historical . base acreage and payment yields, not current production. For the 2007 crop,. USDA is to make the final calculation after the end of the marketing year. The average price for the marketing year will ·be available on Sept. 29, 2008. Current market price projections for the 2007 crop are above the price levels that trigger these payments by 70 percent for corn, 76 percent for WASHINGTON - The U.S . Department of Agriculture announced that, because market prices are high, producers with corn, grain sorghum, soybeans and/or other oilseed base acres enrolled in USDA's Direct and Counter-cyclical Program will not receive partial 2007 -crop-year counter-cyclical payments. Average market pri,ce projections are above level~ that would trigger these payments. The 2002 Farm Bill requires that, if triggered, these payments be made for the 2007 crop after the first six months of the marketing year, which began on Sept. l , 2007, for these commodities. Timing and calculation .of 2007-crop Countercyclical Payments (CCP): grain sorghum and 94 percent for soybeans. USDA calculated CCP rates for these commodities usi'!g the February World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WAS DE), which was released on Feb. 8, 2008. USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board issues WASDE reports. which provide the most current supply-and-demand forecasts available. Partial payments for other commodities: USDA announced on Dec. 3, 2007, that producers who are enrolled in the DCP and have wheat, barley and/or oats base acres would not receive partial CCPs because average market price projections for those commodities exceed- ed levels that trigger these payments. On Feb. 9, 2008, USDA announced that producers with enrolled upland cotton and/or peanuts base acres would receive an estimated $300 million and $15 million, respectively, in partial payments and that producers with enrolled rice base acres would not receive partial CCPs because the average market price projection exceeded the level that triggers these payments. · Overpaymenfs: The 2002 .Farm Bill requires that any overpayments to producers must be repaid. More information on the DCP is available at local Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices and on FSA's Web site af: http:/lwww.fsa:usda.gov. Signup for dairy aid progr8m resumes WASHINGTON Eligible dairy producers who suffered productionlosses in 2005, 2006 or 2007 may apply to receive benefits under the Dairy Disaster Assistance Program Ill, effective March 5, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced. Producers can sign up at their local USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) service center until May 5, when signup will end. This dairy program will provide $16 million in benefits to dairy producers for dairy production losses that occurred between Jan. I, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2007, because of natural disasters. To be eligible, a producer's operation must be in a coun'ty designated a major disaster or emergency area by the president or declared a natural disaster area by the secretary of agriculture between Jan. l, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2007. Producers in contiguous counties are also eligible. Producers in counties declared disaster area~ by the president may be eligible, even though the agricultural loss was not covered by the declaration, if an FSA Administrator's Physical Loss Notice covered such losses. The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (2007 Act), signed by President Bush in May 2007, authorizes this progran!. The 2007 Act charges USDA with implementing under the Dairy Disaster Assistance Program Ill (DDAP-111). The 2007 Act provides $16 million in DDAP-111 benefits. · Qn Dec. · 26, 2007, President Bush signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, which · extends DDAP-lll payments to eligi- ble producers who suffered dairy production Jesse& throughout the 2007 crop year before Dec. 31. 2007. FSA began enrolling producers in DDAP- Ill in late 2007 and early 2008, then temporarily halted sign-up pending the completion of rulemaking which began with the issuance of a proposed rule for public comments on the . program. Based on public comments, FSA made minor changes to the proposed DDAP-III rules. These changes are explained in the final DDAP-111 regulations, which were published in the March 4 Federal Register.

More than two dozen porkers patrol' his orchard, gobbling down fallen, immature apples containing the beetle's larvae. After a successful trial run late last spring, he · and some. researcners at Michigan State University are preparing for year two of the experiment at AIMar Orchards and Cidery in eastern Michigan. They hope their work wi II someday help fruit growers throughout the world reduce the use of pesticides while diversifying their agricul- lura! operations, as he is doing. He plans to periodically sell off the offspring of his four original hogs, keeping only those he needs. "I'm not ready to say that everybody should run out and do this but I'll tell you, after the ftrst year, I'm a whole lot more optimistic and excited by the possibilities," said Dave Epstein, a tree fruit pest-management specialist at the university and the project's lead researcher. The quarter-inch-long plum curculio is particularly difficult for growers like Koan to control because no good organic controls have been developed for them. The beetle can be controlled conventionally, often with the pesticide azinphosmethyl. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is phasing out the powerful pesticide, marketed under the trade . name Guthion; be~ause of the risks it poses to farm workers and to the environment.

PageD6 GARDENING . &unba, lim~ ·itntintl Some ergonomic tools aren't Here's how to conduct a 'feel test' before buying BY DEAN FOSDICK How to reduce stress and fatigue from gardening Bv DEAN FosDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Gardeners with painful disabilities needn't have· such a tough row to hoe. Nearly one in five U.S. adults - · some 46 million people - . has arthritis , according to the Centers for Disease Control and' Prevention. So it's not surprising that scores of ergonomic toolmakers target.this sizable group. Bruce Butterfield, research director for the National Gardening Association, said most gardeners are over 55, and "looking for garden tools that are easier to use and help prevent aches and pain." A great many garden tools are marketed with the word "ergonomic" in bold type on ihe labels, meaning they're intended to maximize the efficiency and quality of someone's work. But claims are one thing and performance is quite another, said Bob Denman, a blacksmith, tool designer and consultant from Boring, Ore. "Some garden tools are being· developed without a great deal of study," Denman sa:id. "The manufacturer builds in a bend here and incorporates · a twist there and calls it ergonomic. But then other tools are extremely well thought out." There are several factors to consider in choosing a . proper tool. First, it's tmportant to know that grip strength declines an average·· of 15 percent by a person's early 50s, said Jeffrey Hoyle, an ergonomist with The Ergonomics Center of North Carolina, a research and consulting arm of North Carolina State University. And while women are about two-thirds as strong as men in general, studies indicate that their grip strength is about half that of men. It might seem logical, AP plloto An assortment of gardening tools Is seen in this Jan . 14 photo In New Market, Va. Gearing, angles and bends, soft handles, thumb switches a'nd bypass levers are among the innovations designed into ergonomic garden tools. All are deslgned ,to ease fatigue and discomfort. then, to focus on the tool's grip. But it's weight and power that make a tool truly etgonom ic, said Olavi Linden, chief designer for Finland-based Fiskars Garden & Outdoor Living. "Handles are actually a very small part of the equation," Linden said. "More power is what ·helps yo)! avoid tendinitis. E11:tra-long, lightweight handles help prevent back pain." Gardeners shopping for the right kind of ergonomic tool can weed out a large amount of discomfort and expense by "feel testing" in stores before they buy. "''ve spent a lot of time watching people shopping for garden tools and most are bewildered," said Denman, who does new product consulting for Corona Clipper Inc., a tool manufacturer in Corona, Calif. He said most make choices based on cost, not quality or feel. "Most people just don't know how to buy ergonomically." Here are some suggestions from Corona Clipper: • Check for weight. Any tool that feels heavy may become tiring with hard and re~titive use. Conversely, any tool that feels too light may be too flimsy to last. Look for tools that feel sturdy while providing control and reducing effort. • Test for balance and sen. sitivity. Tools should dis. tribute their weight evenly or toward the working end, such as at the head of an ax or the peint of a shovel. • Study grip size. Find something soft and comfortable. Overlarge grips can tire muscles and strain .. . nerves in fingers and wrists over time. Non-slip grips generally are safer and help prevent blisters. . • Tools should be easy to maintain. Look for quality materials and practical, proven designs. Once you've golten the tools home, trust your the instincts, . said Ergonomic Center's Hoyle. Just taking breaks can make a big difference. "If it hurts, don't do it," he said. "If you are using a tool incorrectly, it is not ergonomic." On' the Net: Fat more about ergonomic garden tools, see this of lllinois University Extension Service Web site: http://web.extension.uiuc. edu/champaignlhomeowners/040320.html Gardening doe~n 't have to be a pain in the neck, back, knees or hips for the millions of Americans who suffer from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis or other painful disabilities. · Here are some common sense suggestions for reduc- . ing stress and fatigue while continuing to enjoy the low impact exercise that comes from gardening: o Start by knowing your limitations. Rest frequently and pace yourself while occupied with extensive and repetitive garden chores. Gardening is. all about puttering. Take your time and enjoy it. o Keep gardens or flowerbeds small or sized in scale with your capabilities. Don't overdo or become overwhelmed by a too-optimistic workload. o Plant gardens ·near a water source or lay.out a system of hoses conveniently near the work sites. Store tools a nearby shed, cabinet or perhaps a large mailbOle Build trails wide enough for wheelchairs, wagons walkers to pass. Add handrails for balance and place benches at various peints for rest and reflection. o Wrap tool handles or stuff gloves with foam padding to make grasping more comfortable. Adding a cord to the grips makes them easier to retrieve if dropped and conveniently at hand when looped around your wrist or neck. · o Choose low-maintenance plants that don't need much . m the way of deadheading, watering, spraying or pruning. Vegetables trained to climb a trellis will eliminate the need for bending when harvesting. Lighten the spring planting routine by selecting perennials, which will bring many happy and unassisted returns. • Use equipment that makes everyday gardening chores easier on trauma- m ana tized soft tissues and joints. That · includes kneeling stools, long-handled "reach. er-grabbers," kneepads; P<;>tting benches, seed dtspensers and wagons. Wear a smock or tle on a carpenter's apron. Both ar~ equipped with numerou& pockets for seed packets; notepads and tools. Carry a magnifying glass with yoli to help read the fine print on planting stakes and seed labels. • Confine your gardening to raised beds or containers; which will minimize stoop· ing. Make the beds small enough so plants in the middle can be reached withou1 an awkward stretch. Place large containers on wheels so they can be shifted to wherever they're the most convenient. • Weed and cultivate after a rain when the soil is easier to work. • Use large sprink.lernhai cover wide areas and re9uire less moving around. Dnp irrigation or drizzler hoses are easy-care watet systems for thirsty plants. .: .• Carry a cell phone ,Of whistle while working alone in distant corners of the yard. Don't hesitate to u~ · them if you· run into a~ kind of trouble. Belter yet, garden with a buddy. You can share some ideas and keep one another company. • Minimize risk. If a cer" tain job places , you in an uncomfortable Jl<]Sition, like reaching, then figure out another approach or find a tool designed to serve . • Super-size your tool collection. If you know you'll need two hands to make a cut with a ·pruner, then upgrade and reach for a lop· per iristead. That still may require using both hands; but the squeezing effort will be minimal. · Recommended reading: "Accessible Gardening: Tips and Techniques for Seniors & the Disabled" by Woy.

"I feel they sidestepped that charge," Dougherty said. "The commission largely dodged alternative technology and alternative power sources, the testimony we presented and our e11:perts. They failed to weigh impacts on what we .consider to be a better source (of pollution control . technology) Integrated Combined Gasification Cycle." AMP-Ohio has 'chosen Powerspan as one means of pollution control and although AMP officials said · they did research IGCG as a pOSsibility, it ultimately felt it wasn't it good fit for the proposed plant. Dougherty also .said his group, , along with intervenor groups the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club, believed the OPSB "dismissed llatly" the carbon dioxide issues. Carbon dioxide is considered to be a major source of global warming. AMP officials have said Powerspan can be used as a means for carbon dioxide emissions control when/if it is regulated by the state of Ohio. "Ohio can be a leader in emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses but certainly can't be a leaderin controlling those emissions," Dougherty added. · The OEC, NRDC, Sierra Club and National Parks Conservation Association filed an appeal on Thursday in regards to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's issuance of AMPOhio's air permit-to-install appro.ved in February. Dougherty said the intervenor groups plan to "definitely scrutinize" AMPOhio 's remaining permits concerning the plant which include permits on clean water and landfill among others.

RACINE- Gatling Ohio is offering free pre-blast surveys to residents within a half-mile of its blasting permit area as required by law. Several residents, includin~ the Village of Racine, wtthin the half-mine area have already received certified letters from Gat! ing Ohio about the pre-blast surv~ys offered by consultant Greg Fowler who is paid by the company, according to ODNR. ODNR is currently reviewing the company's coal mining permit and until that perl)lit is approved there i:an be no blasting. Still, the company has received a blas.ting permit good for April 14 of this year until April 14, 2009. Blasting can occur within this time frame only after the permit has been approved and that has yet to be decided. Mike Mann of ODNR said normally what happens during the pre-blast survey is the consultant makes sketches and takes photographs of an exi sling structure. The consul tant also takes samples of.water from private wells or springs. All of this information is complied into a repert, a copy of which is to be given to the homeowner. Mann said ODN R generally frowns on the consul tant video taping the survey but there is notbing that says a hoineowner cannot videotape the con sultant while he/she is doing 1he inspection. Though a homeowner could ask and the consultant could oblige , , Mann said ODNR generally doesn't require a consultant ·to go into a space which is not "readily · accessible" such as a crawl space though t!Jat craw I space would be likely noteu on the . .

Mann sa1d indeed there is nothing · "etched in stone'' when it · comes to setting up times for the pre-blast survey and added hopefully both parties are available to work out a schedule.
