RIO GRANDE Working in conjunction with a state-funded grant program and a statewide workforce development network, Rio Grande Community College is positioning itself to meet the training needs of local employers and eJliPloyees. Through Ohio's Targeted Industries Training Grants (TITG), businesses may be eligible to receive up to 75 percent of the total cost for employee training. Training, whicli is limited to non-credit course work, can be delivered at the site of the business or company, on campus, or at any other suitable location. "As an Enterprise Ohio Network institution, we'll work with employers to quickly develop the right training plan," said - Tom Sutton, RGCC's Workforce Solutions coordinator. "Then, we'll take the lead to complete and submit a simple, jointly signed training grant appltcation." Funds for the program were appropriated by the Ohio General .Assembly and channeled to the Ohio Board of Regents and Enterprise Ohio Network colleges to support training programs to eligible companies. The Enterprise Ohio Network is an association of 53 two-year public campuses that provide educational and qairung programs tlrroughout thl:'state. ''The grants are available to )lelp companies improve quality, productivity, and competitiveness," Sutton said. ''The funds may also be targeted for worker retention, expansion of an existing business or the development of a new enterprise." Sutton added the community college is now working to ·develop a district-wide business advisory committee to identify existing and developing workforce needs. This effort, combined with the targeted industries training grant, is designed to meet workforce development needs identified at both the state and local level. A reeent study conducted by the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs revealed that a major"· ity of those surveyed felt " ..

After sorting through barrels of donated books, Rotarians have selected books to read to frrst graders in . our local elementary schools on a monthly basis. Several of the collected books are then donated to the elementary school libraries. One of the main initiatives of Rotary International, and · in turn, the Gallipolis Rotary . Club. is literacy awareness. As the Rotary Internatio'!al · website notes, "Literacy . empowers people. It is tl\e foundation for virtually all forms of education and an essential component of poverty reduction, social mclusion, and economic development. Despite the importance of literacy, there are more than 800 million people unable to read or write in the world today, and 64 percent are women and girls." · · The Gallipolis Rotary Club focuses on literacy awareness through ~rojects such as 'this book drive and our annual "dictionary project," by which we provide each fifth grader in the oounty with a dictionary of his/her own. Again, our · appreciation to those citizens of Gallia County who have assisted the local Gallipolis Rotary Club in their literacy initiative through our recent book drive. J!lllles E.

After sorting through barrels of donated books, Rotarians have selected books to read to frrst graders in . our local elementary schools on a monthly basis. Several of the collected books are then donated to the elementary school libraries. One of the main initiatives of Rotary International, and · in turn, the Gallipolis Rotary . Club. is literacy awareness. As the Rotary Internatio'!al · website notes, "Literacy . empowers people. It is tl\e foundation for virtually all forms of education and an essential component of poverty reduction, social mclusion, and economic development. Despite the importance of literacy, there are more than 800 million people unable to read or write in the world today, and 64 percent are women and girls." · · The Gallipolis Rotary Club focuses on literacy awareness through ~rojects such as 'this book drive and our annual "dictionary project," by which we provide each fifth grader in the oounty with a dictionary of his/her own. Again, our · appreciation to those citizens of Gallia County who have assisted the local Gallipolis Rotary Club in their literacy initiative through our recent book drive. J!lllles E.

I too felt this would probably be the last time I'd ever see my old friend and ·col.league. As I was leaving he was in the hallway, putting on his coat, and I went over, gave him a hug and told him I'd see him in September when the football Blue Devils play at the new Logan Chieftains Stadium. , . "I'U save a special place in the new press box just for you and Junior," I said as I turned to leave. "I want to see you there." . "Me too," he replied. "Me too." Odie won't pe here when the Blue Devils ~e their Sept. 12 trip to Logan and become the second team (and frrst SEOAL school, even though it won't cou.nt as a league game this season) to play in the new stadium, but I'm sure he and Jim Myers wjU be somewhere watching, laughing and catching up on old times. Odie was an icon in Gallipolis and Gallia County much like Jim was in Logan and Hocking Cou.nty. For many, many years. Odie and several friends and colleagues annually attended the state boys basketball tournament in Columbus. . When Randy, Tom and myself went to Gallipolis Tuesday afternoon to see Odie and pay our last respects, I found out that early last week he was still making plans to attend the state tourney but his frail health quickIy deteriorated. He passed ,, away one hour prior to the 'start of Chillicothe's Division II championship game Sarurday morning. Not only did Odie love the Blue Devils (and, yes, his alma mater Chieftains), but he was also a huge fan of the SEOAL. So I wonder... did Odie passibly tip in Ray Chambers' · last-second layup that gave Chillicothe· and the SEO:\L - a Sl!lte championship? That's a stretch, of course. but there's one thing of which 1 I'm certain in my heart of hearts: he was keeping ' score... and he wrote down one final "2" in his scorebook.

REED BREEDOMVOAILVSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT -Doing something nice for another always pays back. "What goes around, comes· around." "You reap what you sow." The second old axiom is scriptural. In his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul wrote, "Make ·no mistake: God is not , mocked, for a p.erson will reap only what he sows." (Galatians 6:5, New American Bible) · Last week, students at Mid-Valley Christian School saw just how true those words are, as a prison chaplain brought them Easter gifts from a most unlikely place ~ from behind the walls of a women's prison. . The Rev. Mark Morrow; chaplain at the Lakin Correction Facility for Women in Mason County, W.Va., g11ve a devotional Thursday to students at the school, using the passage from Galatians, a_nd demonstrating that we all do, indeed, reap what we sow. ' -In the case of the youngsters at MidValley, their kindness to the women inmates at Christmas time "paid off' in ah Easter gift. · . · · The children colored brown paper gift bag11 for women at Christmas, as they have for several years. The bags were filled ~it4 _pe~~of'!' i~~m_! ~ ..• ~...,--::r.... dillfa[ed 'by loi:a church congregations · - and were presenied to 550 women at the prison. · . Thursday, Rev. Morrow delivered bags to the children, decorated by the inmates and filled with candy and small gifts. It was the women's way of saying "thank you" to the boys and girls for the holiday cheer they helped deliver in December. . Many or most of those women are mothers themselves, Morrow explained, and cannot visit their own children regularly. Receiving the handmade and heartfelt holiday bags brought the women closer to their own children at a very difficult time. Several of those women have become ! Christians, and wit) be baptized at a 'r •.•.".J·, service in the prison this weekend,' Morrow said. The children were thrilled with the handmade bookmarks, toys and candies in the bags, but they did not miss the object lesson that came with them. . Patty Asbeck, a teacher at the school, knows firsthand the importance of ministering to the imprisoned. Asbeck said she was led by the Holy Spirit to write ·to a prisoner on Ohio's death row, after reading about his case in ·a .Columbus newspaper.The man had killed several of his exgirlfriends, and was · caught just before he killed . another, her baby ·and· ' ' "A mother's heart is forever, even if her boyfriend.

REED BREEDOMVOAILVSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT -Doing something nice for another always pays back. "What goes around, comes· around." "You reap what you sow." The second old axiom is scriptural. In his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul wrote, "Make ·no mistake: God is not , mocked, for a p.erson will reap only what he sows." (Galatians 6:5, New American Bible) · Last week, students at Mid-Valley Christian School saw just how true those words are, as a prison chaplain brought them Easter gifts from a most unlikely place ~ from behind the walls of a women's prison. . The Rev. Mark Morrow; chaplain at the Lakin Correction Facility for Women in Mason County, W.Va., g11ve a devotional Thursday to students at the school, using the passage from Galatians, a_nd demonstrating that we all do, indeed, reap what we sow. ' -In the case of the youngsters at MidValley, their kindness to the women inmates at Christmas time "paid off' in ah Easter gift. · . · · The children colored brown paper gift bag11 for women at Christmas, as they have for several years.

Morrow delivered bags to the children, decorated by the inmates and filled with candy and small gifts. It was the women's way of saying "thank you" to the boys and girls for the holiday cheer they helped deliver in December. . Many or most of those women are mothers themselves, Morrow explained, and cannot visit their own children regularly. Receiving the handmade and heartfelt holiday bags brought the women closer to their own children at a very difficult time. Several of those women have become ! Christians, and wit) be baptized at a 'r •.•.".J·, service in the prison this weekend,' Morrow said. The children were thrilled with the handmade bookmarks, toys and candies in the bags, but they did not miss the object lesson that came with them. . Patty Asbeck, a teacher at the school, knows firsthand the importance of ministering to the imprisoned. Asbeck said she was led by the Holy Spirit to write ·to a prisoner on Ohio's death row, after reading about his case in ·a .Columbus newspaper.The man had killed several of his exgirlfriends, and was · caught just before he killed . another, her baby ·and· ' ' "A mother's heart is forever, even if her boyfriend.

This one has made it to the New York son's addiction, and it had adverse effects on his two younger children and his second marriage. The father suffered a brain· hemorrhage and nearly died. He realized he must begin to let go of the responsibility for his son, whom he never ceased to love and support. He lea·rned through AIAnon that "you didn't cause it, you can't control it, you can ' t cure it." The kind of commitment and work it takes . to recovery can come only from the addict himself.

"Every genre has . some kind · of conventions, so I thought I would try to see if composers did the same kind of thing.'' Some things remained the same ;md some things have changed. Scheurer, who plays piano, trumpet and guitar and also writes music, discovered that Indian music in Westerns has made the biggest change. In the Western chapter, he discusses the fact the older music would reinforce a largely negative stereotype that culturally we do not embrace anymore. Historical romance and horror films haven't changed that much. "I've always been interested in music and film and played an instrument most of my life," he said. "The only regular composition I write now is at Christmas . . and I put it into a Christmas card." · He started the book I0 years ago, although there were some years he didn't write.

ATHENS - Published in 1852, Uncle Toms Cabin .was written by a staunch abolitionist who focused on the terrible nature of slav'ery. But in the following half~century, some of the •many plays adapted from, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel took a pro-slavery slant. Most depleted slaves in degrading ways, creating stereotypes that still affect ~racial relations in America :today. ; This summer, secondary ·school teachers from · all :over Ohio will have the 'opportunity to make a trip ·to Ohio University for an 'institute about this contro·;versial novel. The program, isla ted for Jply 6-11, is fund•ed by the university 's iCharles J. Ping Institute for 'the Teaching of the ·Humanities and the Ohio :Humanities CounciL i .The Ping Institute is ,coviering roughly $15,000 .to the !project, and the OHC is :matching that with a grant, :said William Condee, a prQ:(essor of theater in the School of Interdisciplinary TArts. · Con dee proposed the lsummer program to the 1 Ping Institute, which sup;ports activities designed for :the teaching of the humani:ties, and applied for the !OHC. grant. • The summer institute, :called "Uncle Tom 's Cabin: ;Race in 19th ·Century !Ohio," will use an interdis- ciplinary approach to study the history, culture, literature and drama of the book , and play in hopes of exploring the racial issues of today. About 20 secondary teachers, mainly in social studies and English, ·will. participate. Teachers will be able to use the information and ideas presented to stimulate discussion in their classrooms · about the historical and cultural sources of racial issues in America. "We will be using Uncle Tom's Cabin as a lens to understand what was happening regarding race in Ohio in the 19th century," Condee said. Although the riovel was anti-slavery, the dramatic reproductions perpetuated . negative racial stereotypes, becoming "an engine of racism," he said . Three . other Ohio University faculty members are involved. Vibert Cambridge, a professor in the School of Media Arts and Studies, specializes in the AfricanAmerican presence in the Ohio River Valley. For the summer program, he will lead discussions about race . relations in Ohio, particular- ly the southeast region. , "(The program) will help to bring to light an understudied aspect of American history, specifically the role this region played in the Underground Railroad a,nd . other fofii\S of inter-racial resistance to slavery," Cambridge said. Tom Scanlan, an associate professor of English and associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, will lead discussions about the novel's pubIication and original reception. Bringing the perspective of a contemporary ~lrtist, Professor Charles Smith, head of the School · of Theater's playwriting program, will discuss his own plays' fictional accounts of historical AmericanAmerican figures. Smith's latest · play, ''Knock Me a Kiss," about .the Harlem Renaissance period, will ·have its own workshop in the spring, led by Condee. The May 17 workshop also is ·for secondary school teachers, and Condee hopes it will draw in participants for the summer program. . "I am hoping .it will create a convers~tion begin- : informed Sunday 7imts-Sentinel Gallla • 446-2342 ~·992-2155 tAIIOI'I • 6?'5-1333 . ning in the spring and con~ tinuing into summer," Condee said,. "It's hard for us to talk about race; those are difficult conversations and raise difficult issues. Issues raised . by Uncle Tom's Cabin are still issues today. One of my goals is to create a safe foru{ll for those difficlllt discussions.'' Tom Carpenter, a professor o'f humanities and director . of the Ping Institute, said the program is a perfect fit for his instilute's mission to help secondary instructors teach the humanities. . "Our focus is on high school teachers, in · particuJar, and we are trying to find ways to present them with · exciting .materials to teach," he said. "This seemed to fit the bill nicely."

"Every genre has . some kind · of conventions, so I thought I would try to see if composers did the same kind of thing.'' Some things remained the same ;md some things have changed. Scheurer, who plays piano, trumpet and guitar and also writes music, discovered that Indian music in Westerns has made the biggest change. In the Western chapter, he discusses the fact the older music would reinforce a largely negative stereotype that culturally we do not embrace anymore. Historical romance and horror films haven't changed that much. "I've always been interested in music and film and played an instrument most of my life," he said. "The only regular composition I write now is at Christmas . . and I put it into a Christmas card." · He started the book I0 years ago, although there were some years he didn't write.

ATHENS - Published in 1852, Uncle Toms Cabin .was written by a staunch abolitionist who focused on the terrible nature of slav'ery. But in the following half~century, some of the •many plays adapted from, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel took a pro-slavery slant. Most depleted slaves in degrading ways, creating stereotypes that still affect ~racial relations in America :today. ; This summer, secondary ·school teachers from · all :over Ohio will have the 'opportunity to make a trip ·to Ohio University for an 'institute about this contro·;versial novel. The program, isla ted for Jply 6-11, is fund•ed by the university 's iCharles J. Ping Institute for 'the Teaching of the ·Humanities and the Ohio :Humanities CounciL i .The Ping Institute is ,coviering roughly $15,000 .to the !project, and the OHC is :matching that with a grant, :said William Condee, a prQ:(essor of theater in the School of Interdisciplinary TArts. · Con dee proposed the lsummer program to the 1 Ping Institute, which sup;ports activities designed for :the teaching of the humani:ties, and applied for the !OHC. grant. • The summer institute, :called "Uncle Tom 's Cabin: ;Race in 19th ·Century !Ohio," will use an interdis- ciplinary approach to study the history, culture, literature and drama of the book , and play in hopes of exploring the racial issues of today. About 20 secondary teachers, mainly in social studies and English, ·will. participate. Teachers will be able to use the information and ideas presented to stimulate discussion in their classrooms · about the historical and cultural sources of racial issues in America. "We will be using Uncle Tom's Cabin as a lens to understand what was happening regarding race in Ohio in the 19th century," Condee said. Although the riovel was anti-slavery, the dramatic reproductions perpetuated . negative racial stereotypes, becoming "an engine of racism," he said . Three . other Ohio University faculty members are involved. Vibert Cambridge, a professor in the School of Media Arts and Studies, specializes in the AfricanAmerican presence in the Ohio River Valley. For the summer program, he will lead discussions about race . relations in Ohio, particular- ly the southeast region. , "(The program) will help to bring to light an understudied aspect of American history, specifically the role this region played in the Underground Railroad a,nd . other fofii\S of inter-racial resistance to slavery," Cambridge said. Tom Scanlan, an associate professor of English and associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, will lead discussions about the novel's pubIication and original reception. Bringing the perspective of a contemporary ~lrtist, Professor Charles Smith, head of the School · of Theater's playwriting program, will discuss his own plays' fictional accounts of historical AmericanAmerican figures. Smith's latest · play, ''Knock Me a Kiss," about .the Harlem Renaissance period, will ·have its own workshop in the spring, led by Condee. The May 17 workshop also is ·for secondary school teachers, and Condee hopes it will draw in participants for the summer program. . "I am hoping .it will create a convers~tion begin- : informed Sunday 7imts-Sentinel Gallla • 446-2342 ~·992-2155 tAIIOI'I • 6?'5-1333 . ning in the spring and con~ tinuing into summer," Condee said,. "It's hard for us to talk about race; those are difficult conversations and raise difficult issues. Issues raised . by Uncle Tom's Cabin are still issues today. One of my goals is to create a safe foru{ll for those difficlllt discussions.'' Tom Carpenter, a professor o'f humanities and director . of the Ping Institute, said the program is a perfect fit for his instilute's mission to help secondary instructors teach the humanities. . "Our focus is on high school teachers, in · particuJar, and we are trying to find ways to present them with · exciting .materials to teach," he said. "This seemed to fit the bill nicely."

RIO GRANDE- The University of Rio Grande held a grand opening 'for the expanded ·cafeteria in the renovated Evan E. and Elizabeth F. Davis University Center on March 4. · · · Rio Grande has greatly expanded the Davis University Center, adding new rooms and facilities, creating new entrances and enlarging the cafeteria. Work on the project began in 2006, and the building has remained open during the construction. The project is expected to be completed while Rio Grande is on spring break., but the early ceremony was held to celebrate all of the new eguipment, seating and space now available in the cafetena. For the ceremony, Rio Grande passed out scissors to more than I00 Rio Grande students so they could all take part in the ribbon-cutting event. The ribbon stretched around the cafeteria, and students were allowed to keep the scissors as souvenirs. EV\Ul and Elizabeth Davis attended the event, which was highlighted by special music from the exchange students from Trinity College in Carmarthen, Wales, who are living on campus during the spring semester. · · "Evan and Elizabeth Davis were. even able to speak in Welsh to the Trinity College students, which was very . nice," said Dr. Greg Sojka, interim president of the University of Rio Grande. Rio Grande also formally unveiled its new logo at the event. The logo will be present on all Rio Grande materials from now on and will assist with marketing for the institution. The cafeteria previously had seating for 350 people, but now up to 500 people can eat in the room at one time.Everything in there is new, Sojka added. The cafeteria has new serving lines, a new salad bar, new tables and chairs, and even a new conveyor belt system for students to place their trays on when they are finished eating. An outdoor patio is also being added onto the ·cafeteria, but the patio area is not yet completed. · ''That w\11 be a very popular place on campus,"' Sojka said of the patio. The expanded cafeteria area will be available for a greater number of community events, meetings and weddings now that there is more room for seating. In addition, the expanded kitchen area and new food preparation spaces · will make it easier to serve food in the other.conference and meeting rooms in the building. · One of the key points in the new building will be the new space for student meetings, student activities, student recreat[on and special events. One main feature will be the Dean S. Brown Student Activity Center, which will be a much nicer and larger version of what Rio Grande currently has with the Red Zone . student activities space. "It will be a great improvement over the Red Zone," ~b~. . .

RIO GRANDE- The University of Rio Grande held a grand opening 'for the expanded ·cafeteria in the renovated Evan E. and Elizabeth F. Davis University Center on March 4. · · · Rio Grande has greatly expanded the Davis University Center, adding new rooms and facilities, creating new entrances and enlarging the cafeteria. Work on the project began in 2006, and the building has remained open during the construction. The project is expected to be completed while Rio Grande is on spring break., but the early ceremony was held to celebrate all of the new eguipment, seating and space now available in the cafetena. For the ceremony, Rio Grande passed out scissors to more than I00 Rio Grande students so they could all take part in the ribbon-cutting event. The ribbon stretched around the cafeteria, and students were allowed to keep the scissors as souvenirs. EV\Ul and Elizabeth Davis attended the event, which was highlighted by special music from the exchange students from Trinity College in Carmarthen, Wales, who are living on campus during the spring semester. · · "Evan and Elizabeth Davis were. even able to speak in Welsh to the Trinity College students, which was very . nice," said Dr. Greg Sojka, interim president of the University of Rio Grande. Rio Grande also formally unveiled its new logo at the event. The logo will be present on all Rio Grande materials from now on and will assist with marketing for the institution. The cafeteria previously had seating for 350 people, but now up to 500 people can eat in the room at one time.Everything in there is new, Sojka added. The cafeteria has new serving lines, a new salad bar, new tables and chairs, and even a new conveyor belt system for students to place their trays on when they are finished eating. An outdoor patio is also being added onto the ·cafeteria, but the patio area is not yet completed. · ''That w\11 be a very popular place on campus,"' Sojka said of the patio. The expanded cafeteria area will be available for a greater number of community events, meetings and weddings now that there is more room for seating. In addition, the expanded kitchen area and new food preparation spaces · will make it easier to serve food in the other.conference and meeting rooms in the building. · One of the key points in the new building will be the new space for student meetings, student activities, student recreat[on and special events. One main feature will be the Dean S. Brown Student Activity Center, which will be a much nicer and larger version of what Rio Grande currently has with the Red Zone . student activities space.

Sunday, March 23, 2008 ~ribttne - Sentinel - l\e CLASSIFIED BY BETSY TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MORRISON, Mo. - At age 77, Arlen Schwinke might be getting too old for the twice-a-day _milkings that come with working a dairy farm, but he's still deeply committed to Missouri's dairy industry. Rather than sell off his cows when he decided to stop milking, Schwinke rented them out to other farmers. "We kept seeing cows leaving the state of Missouri," he said. "I wanted them to stay here." Missouri is one of several· states where the numbers of dairy farms, many of them family-owned, are declining, despite efforts to bolster the industry. The state is also seeing a decrease in its dairy cow population and its milk production. . Missouri had as many as 1 million dairy cows by the end of World War II. The numbers declined in subsequent years, but cows were more productive, so the . reduction didn't always translate into less milk . being produced. However, the state has seen rapid .declines in . its dairy herd in recent years. By 2000, Missouri was home to 154,000 dairy cows. The number dropped more than 25 percent by last year, to about 112,000 cows. As the herd . dwindled, Missouri's milk production · fell. The . state produced about 2.3 billion pounds in 2000. Production dropped to I.7 billion pounds last year. Missouri now imports about I. 7 billion pounds of milk a year. · The loss of cows and dairy farms has economic ramifications, particularly in rural · areas. There are fewer jobs related to feed and supplies, hauling, milk processinll and veterinary care. Dave Drennan, executive direc.tor of the Missouri Dairy Association and the Missouri Dajry Growth Council, said a University of Wisconsin study found "one dairy cow is worth almost $14,000 in economic activity."

But the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation said the of state Department ~griculture did a good job crafting a rule that balances the interests of many different parties. Dairy producers should have a choice whether to use the synthetic hormone or not, and a label advertising .milk as hOrmone free is also .obligated to say that there is no real difference in the milk; said spokesman Joe Comely. Critics of the artificial hormone argue it makes the cows more susceptible tp infection, which reguires greater use of antibiotics. This could lead to more antibiotic-resistant bacteria that could impact humans, they argue. They also say that the injection of the hormone into cows raises levels of another growth hormone that has been linked to cancer in excessive amounts. But no conclusive scientific evidence links the use of the synthetic hormone in cows to higher rates of cancer in humans.

Sunday, March 23, 2008 ~ribttne - Sentinel - l\e CLASSIFIED BY BETSY TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MORRISON, Mo. - At age 77, Arlen Schwinke might be getting too old for the twice-a-day _milkings that come with working a dairy farm, but he's still deeply committed to Missouri's dairy industry. Rather than sell off his cows when he decided to stop milking, Schwinke rented them out to other farmers. "We kept seeing cows leaving the state of Missouri," he said. "I wanted them to stay here." Missouri is one of several· states where the numbers of dairy farms, many of them family-owned, are declining, despite efforts to bolster the industry. The state is also seeing a decrease in its dairy cow population and its milk production. . Missouri had as many as 1 million dairy cows by the end of World War II. The numbers declined in subsequent years, but cows were more productive, so the . reduction didn't always translate into less milk . being produced. However, the state has seen rapid .declines in . its dairy herd in recent years. By 2000, Missouri was home to 154,000 dairy cows. The number dropped more than 25 percent by last year, to about 112,000 cows. As the herd . dwindled, Missouri's milk production · fell. The . state produced about 2.3 billion pounds in 2000. Production dropped to I.7 billion pounds last year. Missouri now imports about I. 7 billion pounds of milk a year. · The loss of cows and dairy farms has economic ramifications, particularly in rural · areas. There are fewer jobs related to feed and supplies, hauling, milk processinll and veterinary care. Dave Drennan, executive direc.tor of the Missouri Dairy Association and the Missouri Dajry Growth Council, said a University of Wisconsin study found "one dairy cow is worth almost $14,000 in economic activity."

A rule proposed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture would prevent labels from making the hormone distinction unless they also contain the U.S. FoOd and Drug Administration's findings that there is no significant difference between milk produced with or without tile recombinant bovine somatotropin, or rbST, hormone. . The debate over labeling in many cases is pittin~ dairy producers who don t use the hormone against dairy farmers who, use the hormone to boost IT\ilk production in their cows and help their profits.

But the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation said the of state Department ~griculture did a good job crafting a rule that balances the interests of many different parties. Dairy producers should have a choice whether to use the synthetic hormone or not, and a label advertising .milk as hOrmone free is also .obligated to say that there is no real difference in the milk; said spokesman Joe Comely. Critics of the artificial hormone argue it makes the cows more susceptible tp infection, which reguires greater use of antibiotics. This could lead to more antibiotic-resistant bacteria that could impact humans, they argue. They also say that the injection of the hormone into cows raises levels of another growth hormone that has been linked to cancer in excessive amounts. But no conclusive scientific evidence links the use of the synthetic hormone in cows to higher rates of cancer in humans.

She rubs shoulders with poison ivy, works " in stifling heat, gets hassled by the local constabulary and even deals with the occasional warning shots from landholders or motorists screaming insults about what they perceive to be plant poaching or trespassing. "We've been fired at and hollered at," said Pausch, who with her husband, Brad, operates Wildflower Rescue of MN, a commercial venture sanctioned by Minnesota to gather threatened or endangered wildflowers facing habitat destruction. "It's not glamorous work." Why bother? Plant rescue is an important way to ensure that valued wild- · flower species survtve. There's also the issue of protecting diversity as invasive plants gain ground with a kudzu-like hold and begin to dominate as America's woodlands and wetlands become urbanized. "Many plants are rare because of their unique growing conditions," said Gerry. Moore, director of science for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden . "They can't be easily replicated somewhere else. Many wildflowers fit that category. Yet they' re quickly disappearing due to habitat degradation." Pausch specializes in collecting Lady's Slipper orchids. The Showy Lady's Slipper, a pink and white varietal, is the Minn~;sota . state .flower. She and her husband have permission to save flowers in any habitat threatened by construction. "We'd be open to any other 'kind of (plant threatening) activity but it's largely a matter of getting permission," she said. Many in the field refer to the loss of wildflowers in terms reminiscent of the extinction of the passenger pigeon, the most common bird in · North·. America when the first European settlers arrived. There was no safety in numbers, however. Valued for their plumage, meat and eggs, they soon were hunted out of existence. "The· extinction o( the passenger pigeon and the decline of · the American chestnut remind us that fairly abundant, even ubiqui- · tous species can sometimes be quickly lost due to a combination of over-harvesting, disease and loss of habitat," writes Gary · Nabhan in "Renewing America's Food Traditions: Saving and Savoring the 100 Most Continent's Endangered Foods," out in May from Chelsea Green Publishing. What was thought to be the world's last passenger · pigeon died . at a Cincinnati zoo in 1914. "You can't help but think about the passenger pigeon when you look around and see all the building that's going on," said Alan Mizeras, coordinator of the Native Plant Rescue Group of Henderson County (North Carolina). "We're losing a lot of stuff. Huge amounts of flora and fauna are disappearing from the scene. · That's our botanical diversity." Mizeras was an environmental monitoring specialist before retiring' to · the scenic Blue Ridge Mountain country of westem North Carolina in 200 I. Along with a small cadre of volunteers, his current project involves transplanting wildflowers ' taken from a 117-acre parcel on a mountainside near Hendersonville, destined eventually to be the site of 80 freestanding homes. "This will be our second ·year working on the property," Mizeras said in a Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ;;o ( .I :\ I S • \ .o I. ;;-. :\ o . SPORTS • NCAA tournament roundup.

Picking a flowering trllll;. urn can injure or kill the plant since the characteristic three leaves beneath the bloom are its primary f9od source. 'orchids that grow in the soils require very specific soil and fungi conditions. They can be quite challenging to grow outside of their native habitat." Rescue groups · are selective about where they trans~lant the recovered blooms. 'Putting them in a remote site and throwing water at them a couple' of times is not going to get the job done," Mizeras said. "We place them in public parks or private gardens. We don't care where they go as long as they survive." Mizeras is tickled that the owner of the residentialdevelopment-to-be has become so interested in the wildflower recovery effort that he's gotten involved. "The developer dido 't know anything about native plants when we started all this last . year. But he's getting into it now and taking, some of them out for himself." ...
