REID BY JOHN DUNBAR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER nies get a customer's permission before they can release information that may be used for telemarketing. Phone companies contend this requirement would violate their First Amendment right to communicate with customers - a position that was backed by a federal coun in 1999. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, called that coun decision "probably one of the oddest First Amendment cases in many. many years." Since that case, he said courts have been more inclined to suppon privacy rules. Phone companies say there is no evidence that information shared with business partners falls into the wrong hands, making the proposed requirement unnecessary. The depanments of Just;ice and Homeland Security have taken issue with two other possible provisions in the emerging rules, both of which have privacy advocates concerned. The first would tell phone companies to destroy customer records as soon as the records no longer are needed for legitimate business purposes. The government wants the records preserved for possible use in criminal investigations.

Lraq - The U.S. command has ordered changes in flight operations after four helicopters were shot down in the last two weeks. the chief military spokesman said Sunday. acknowledging for the lirst time that the aircraft were lost to hostile tire. The crashes, which began Jan. 20, follow insurgent claims that they have received new stocks of antiaircraft weapons - and a recent boast by Sunni militants that "God has granted new ways" to threatenU .S. aircraft. AI-Jazeera aired video late Sunday showing one of the U.S. helicopters being hit in central Iraq and said it came from an insurgent Web site . All four helicopters were shot down during a recent increase in violence. which an Interior Ministry official said has claimed nearly 1,000 lives in the past week alone. At least I03 people were killed or found dead Sunday. most of them in Baghdad, police reponed. Maj. Gen. . William Caldwell told reporters that the investigations into the crashes of three Army and one private helicopters were incomplete but "it does appear they were all the result of some kind of antiIraqi ground lire that did bring those helicopters down." It was the first time a senior figure in the U.S. Iraq command had said publicly that all four helicopters were shot <:town. Despite the losses, Caldwell said it was premature to conclude that the threat to U.S. aircraft posed by Sunni insurgents and Shiite militiamen had increased dramatically. "There's been an ongoing effon since we've been here to target our helicopters," Caldwell said. "Based on what we have seen, we ' re already making adjustments in our tactics and techniques and procedures as to how we employ our helicopters." Caldwell did not elaborate, presumably for security reasons. In the past, defensive measures have included flying lower and faster. varying routes and ' using zigzag patterns over da~~~~:~'J! areas. ..._____ crashed in mostly .:>u.1uu areas and the fourth was shot down during fighting with Shiite cultists near Najaf.

Birthdays Federal money available for summer program CHICAGO Federal funding from the U.S. D~partment of A~riculture (USDA) is available to Ohio faith-based and community sponsors to operate feeding programs for lowincome children thi s summer. The federal funds will reimburse organizations that sponsor the USDA Summer Food Service Program for Children . When school lunchrooms close for the summer, more than 497,165 children in low-income Ohio communities could be at risk of hunger or poor nutrition because free and reduced price school meals are not available. USDA's Summer Food Service Program is designed to bridge this summer nutrition gap. It reimburses sponsors for serving free, nutritious breakfasts, lunches or snacks to children in eligible low-income areas. However. the program remains significantly underutilized. One reason is a lack of willing sponsors and feeding sites. Another is that parents and caregivers are not always aware of existing summer meals programs in their area. Last summer only 59,590 low-income Ohio children ate free meals through USDA's Summer Food Service Program or at summer school --- that is, only 12% of the 497,165 chil- dren who ate free or reduced price school meal s in the previou s sc hool year. In Ohio the Summer Food Program is ad ministered by the State Department of Education. To spon sor the program this summer, new sponsors should contact the state agency as soon as possible to attend the required train ing . Applications and sponsor information may be obtained from the State Department of Education, Division of Child Nutrition Services, 25 S. Front Street, 3rd Floor. Columbus, OH 432154183, 1-877-644-6338, Mary Forster, Summer Food Program Coordinator, email: mary.forster@ ode .state.oh. us The Summer Food Service Program is targeted to children through age 18 living in low-income areas where SO% or more of the children qualify for free or reduced pri ce school meal s ur in programs where at least 50% of enrolled children qualify for these meal s. The program operates in sc hools, public housing centers, playgrounds. camps, park s and churc hes. Sponsors can be public or nonprofit private schools or school tlistricts; public or private nonprofit residential summer camps: local, county or state government agencies; colleges or universitie s participating in the National Youth Sports Program; or faithbased and community nonprofit organizations. Sponsors receive federal payment s for both the meal s served to children and the admini strative costs of serving the meals. New sponsors also recei vc training and technic al assistance from the state agency. Ohio Valley Christian School queens ANNIE'S MAILBOX Get help for excessive sweating BY KATHY M!TCHELL AND MARCY SUIIAR WORDS) MY HOIIJEY Writing this love message gives me the opportunity to tell you just how much I love you and enfoy being your husband. I know I sometimes don't show It but I do. Valentines The Daily Sentinel Dear Annie : All my life, I've suffered from palmar hyperhidrosi s, or excessive ·sweating of the hands. My condition is quite severe. : and it has affected all areas of my life. As a child, I had to endure nasty comments from other children. and as nicknames such : "Sprinkler" and "Rain Man" · really put a damper on my ,. self-confidence. Throughout my high school y~ars. I was so self-conscious. I refused 'to shake anyone's hand. This . made people think I was · immature or a germaphobe. and I was taunted continu ously. I managed to get a wait· ressing job during my senior . year. The job didn't last long because I had some difficul. ty holding multiple plates, and often they slipped out of my grip. Al so, some of the . customers were bothered by · my hands and didn't want me near their food. After · graduating. my condition · continued to be an inconvenience that limited the number of tasks I could easily perform and made employmen! difficult. It also put a large strain on my social life . At 23, I married "Dan" and thought he had come to accept my situation . . However. after our first year of marriage , he grew distant. After another month, he admitted that he found my hands repulsive and left me. I feel I will never be accepted. What can I do? Sweating in the Palms Dear Sweating: We won't minimize the pain this condition has caused you, although it does not help that you are so focused on it. It alters the way you approach people and how they perceive you. There are newer prescription medications available to help control excessive sweating, and if you have not seen a dermatologist recently. please make an appointment immediately. As a last resort. there also is a surgical option. For more information. contact the International Hyperhidrosis Society (sweat help .org) at 520 Walnut St .. Philadelphia. Pa . 19106. Dear Annie: I recently moved from a rerrible neighborhood to a nice middie-class area and thou ght we were leaving inconsiderate neighbors behind. There is a bus stop at one end of our dead-end street . Several of the neighbors drive their kids to and from the bus stop, and one of them chooses to use our driveway to turn around and go home. This happens twice a day, five days a week. Our driveway is not paved, and her hig van is creating ruts at the end of it. I'd like to tell her to stop using our driveway as her own personal turnaround or to stan contributing to a "fill the ruts" fund. Isn't our driveway private propeny? Irritated in Michigan Dear Irritated: Your neighbor may have no idea that her car is causing damage, so your first step should be to approach her. in a friendly fashion, and say. "I hope it won't be too difficult for you to turn around somewhere else. Our driveway needs repair work from all the bdditional traffic." If she persists, we suggest you put up a movable barrier so your driveway is less accessible during the times when ~he is most likely to usc it. She'll get the message. Dear Annie: My parents recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. One guest, who had been the flower girl in their wedding, put two hatboxes together and decorated them to look like a wedding cake . Inside was a wide assonment of edible goodies and other products reminiscent of the 1950s. The nostalgic goodies were widely enjoyed by the family, and the contents didn't clutter up the house. I thought it was a very clever gift idea. - K.S. Dear K.S. : We do, too. It was appropriate, fun. personal and inexpensive, and required both thought and care. The best of all worlds.

There are 329 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History : On Feb. 5, 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt proposed increasing the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Coun; critics accused Roosevelt of attempting to "pack" the high court. On this date: In 1631 , the founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, and his wife arrived in Boston from England. In 1783, Sweden recognized the independence of the United States. In 1887, Verdi 's opera "Otello" premiered at La Scala. In 1897. the Indiana House of Representatives passed, 67-0, a measure redefining the method for determining the area of a circle, which included altering the value of pi. (The bill died in the Indiana Senate.) In 1917. Congress passed, over President Wilson's veto, an immigration act severely curtailing the influx of Asians . . In 1917, Mexico's constitution was adopted. In 1940, ·Glenn Miller and his orchestra recorded "Tuxedo Junction" for RCA Victor's "Bluebird" label. In 1967, "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" pre. miered on CBS TV. In 1973, services were held at Arlington National Cemetery for Army Lt. Col. William B. Nolde, the last American combat casualty before the Vietnam cease-fire. In 1994, white separatist Byron De La Beckwith was convicted in Jackson, Miss , of murdering civil rights leader Medgar Evers in 1963. and was immediately sentenced to life in prison. (Beckwith (lied Jan. 21,2001 at age 80.) Ten years ago: Switzerland's "Big Three" banking giants announced they would create a $71 million fund for Holocaust victims and their families . Investment bank Morgan Stanley announced a $10 billion merger with Dean Witter. U.S. Ambassador Pamela Harriman died in Paris at age 76. Five years ago: A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., indicted John Walker Lindh on 10 charges, alleging he was trained by Osama bin Laden's network and then conspired with the Taliban to kill Americans. (Lindh later pleaded guilty to lesser offenses and was sentenced to 20 years in . federal prison.) Congressional committees decided to subpoena former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay to appear to tell w~at he knew of En ron's complex financial dealings. (Lay did appear, but refused to testify, citing his Fifth Amendment rights.) At a Senate hearing, Deborah Perrotta, a laid-otl Enron employee, wept as she described how her retirement savings all but disappeared when the company failed.

I've finally discovered what they call '"linkage" between the war in Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But, instead of seeing any connection between what goes on inside Iraq and that fraudulent '"peace process" - by which the one party wanting '"peace" (Israel) is gradually destroyed by the other party "process" (the usi ng Palestinians) - I see linkage in the overall American approach to the two war zones. Our strategy is iden- , tical. In both cases, it is based on a complete and willful suspension of disbelief. It ignores all evidence to ward off reality. Take a recent · report from Fox News explaining why the Bush administration this week postponed the release of a dossier linking Iran to murder and mayhem in Iraq. "U.S. military officials say the decision to go public with the findings has been put on hold for several reasons, including concerns over the reaction from Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it ." There's so much wrong with this picture it's hard to know where to start.

The surging price of com is the latest threat to Americans' wallets, and where it hits them may go beyond the supermarket. The issue here really starts with the government's push to increase the use of alternative fuels like ethanol to reduce a reliance on foreign oil. Since most ethanol produced here is made from com, that burgeoning boom is straining com supplies, and boosting prices. That makes everything from soda (sweetened with high fructose com syrup) to the steak from corn-fed beef more expensive. It's also crimping ethanol producers' profitability, which could lead to calls for increased federal subsidies to keep them afloat. This is all happening just as consumers are starting to feel some relief from lower energy prices. which are down nearly 30 percent from the highs reached last summer. Inflationary concerns have now shifted to corn. which has doubled in price from a year ago to a 10-year high of around $4 a bushel today. Last year's com harvest was the third-largest in U.S. history, but as Merrill NorthLynch chief American economist David Rosenberg notes, that large supply is being met by even bigger demand from the fast-growing ethanol market. Congress passed an ener- gy bill in 2005 that mandat. ed the doubling of alternative-fuel use by 2012 to 7.5 billion gallons a year. Then President Bush upped the · ante in his State of the Union speech in January by seeking a boost to 35 billion gallons a year by 2017. That would be a big climb from where we are right now: An estimated 4.9 billion gallons were produced in 2006, accordi.ng to the Renewable Fuels Association, a trade group representing the ethanol industry. In 2000, 1.6 billion gallons were produced. There are currently 112 active ethanol plants, while 77 are under construction and 7 are being expanded, the trade group said. Big companies like Archer Damels Midland Co. to smaller startups and farmers have jumped in on the ethanol-driven corn rush. But making money on ethanol has become increasingly difficult with corn prices surging at the same time that oil prices are falling to 18-month lows. The spread between the sales value of finished fuel ethanol - which is tied to gasoline prices - and the price of corn is getting squeezed fast. The net profit of a 50-mi Ilion-gallon ethanol plant today is about 1.1 cents a gallon of ethanol produced , down from 50 cents a gallon on Jan. I and $2.50 a gallon in June, said Rick Kment. an aoalyst at DTN, an agricultural-commodities research tirm.

Hamm said anemone coronaria was the plant called the "lilies of the field" in Matthew and Luke . Dloom in early spring they are still found growing in the rocky fields surrounding Jerusalem. Chamomile, another common wildflower in the Holy Lands, blooms from January until May with small flowers resembling tiny daisies . This >arne plant is considered a wildflower in o1,1r region because it escaped from pioneer gardens and is now a common field flower, Hamm said. Cyclamen grow s among rock walls in the Holy Land and is believed to be among the flowers mentioned in Luke. Nigella sativa and Nigella hispanica were called filches in Isaiah. Their seed is sometimes called black cumin and is u.sed as a black pepper substitute to season cakes and bread. Although these seeds are seldom available in the United States, they are closely related to our garden variety called Love in a Mist or N1gella damascene. Holy Thistle , Silybum marianum, is also called Lady's Thistle or Milk thistle and is believed to be the plant talked about tn Genesis, Isaiah and Matthew.

The Dutch took the bulbs to the Netherlands and developed many brilliant colors inducting hot pink and orange. Yellow Flag Iris, Iris pseudacorus, is well known m Palestine. It has bright yellow flowers and is believed to be the plant discussed in Hosea. The Madonna lily, Lilium candidum, grows wild in northern Palestine and is believed to be the lily mentioned in the Song of Solomon . It has become a symbol of innocence, purity, and the resurrection. Malva sylvestris, mentioned in Job, is a plant found throughout the Holy Lands as well as North America and Europe. The leaves are used to thicken· soups, as skin ointments, and as a cough medicine. Poppies were called the flowers of the field in Isaiah. Papaver rhoeas L. and Papaver Somniferum, species of poppies native to the Holy Lands, are short lived flowers that only last two or three days and their foliage dies back in summer's heat. The Rose of Sharon is mentioned in Isaiah and the Song of Solomon. It grew abundantly in. Israel and was brightly colored. Shushan, the Hebrew word for lily, is used in Nehemiah and Esther. Bible scholars think the Iranian city of Shushan was named after the crown imperial. Fritillaria imperi- alis, which is native to that region. . Hollyhocks, mentioned in Job, are plants of the Malva and Alcea families that were commonly used in salads or as pot-herbs. The wild species was originally called Holy Hocks by the Crusaders who carried them back to Europe.

Since Jul y 2004, the nine attorneys had been paid more than $1 million for special counsel work, Brunner 's office said. State agencies can pay · for private attorneys that they hire through the attorney general's office .

Q.: Is there a special way agricultural land can be valued to reduce local real property taxes'! A.: While Ohio law generally requires real property (land and improvements) to be taxed by uniform rnles according to its fair market value, a special rule exists for land devoted exclusively to agricultural use . This commonly is referred to as current agricultural use value or "CALTV." A CAUV designation can significantly reduce the real property taxes owed by the land owner, especially if the land is in an area where housing or commercial uses are alternative uses for the land. Ollars tax relief qualified for payments or other compensation under a land retirement or conservation program under an agreement with an agency of the federal government." will be tri g~ered. You should work with the seller to determine who should be responsible for the tax "payback" and to avoid any misunderstandings. Q.: "What happens if the landowner's cropland is idle . ?. f or a ume A .: Land may sit idle or fallow for up to one year (and even for up to three years in certain circumstances) if, during the previous three consecutive calendar years, it has been designated as land devoted exclusively to agricultural use . Also, nothing can be done to the land that would hinder its return to agricultural production. Q. : Are there any other consequences of CA UV that landowners should understand? A.: Ohio imposes an estate tax on decedent 's estates when the net taxable value is over $338,333. An estate may elect to have farm property that passes to a qualified heir valued at its agricultural use value. In many cases, this will greatly reduce or even eliminate the Ohio estate tax that otherwise might be due.

All of the cash is in the form of rarely seen uncut sheets of real U.S. legal tender all ready to be loaded in valuable Bank Books. But, it gets even better. Everyone who beats the 72 hour deadline just by covering the $38 Bank Book transaction fee gets all the cash they want at a fraction of its United States Treasury price. Here's exactly how all the money is being tendered to the local readers. Thousands of crisp new full uncut sheets of $1, $5, $10 and $20 dollar bills are now in lock-down, not with the federal government, but at the Central storage vaults of the Brinks Armored Cash Depository in Cleveland, Ohio. All this money remains under the control of the private World Reserve Monetary Exchange who is making no secret about advertising its plans to begin dumping the surplus cash starting at 7:30 a.m. today because it could not be returned to the U.S. Treasury. "Recently hundreds of thousands of people got in before the deadline to get massive Bank Books loaded with full sheets of money. But many other people did not have enough time to place their order before the deadline," said Steven Speakman, National Hotline Director for the World Reserve. So for the next 72 hours its all up for grabs again. Only this time, local readers are coming out big winners because this 72 hour cash rollback is giving away money for 93% off. "You haven't really spent your money when you get these rarely seen uncut sheets. It's the perfect gift or reserve for a rainy day because it will always be real money backed by the U.S. Government and it will always have value. If times get tough you could actually cut the full sheets apart and spend them. But anyone would be foolish to cut them apart because they are already worth so much more as u sheet," Speakman confirmed. Those who get in on this now will be the really smart ones. Just think what they could be worth years from now. "Values of currency always fluctuate. It's difficult when you are comparing apples and oranges. But, according to the Official Standard Guide to U.S. Paper Money, there are uncirculated 1928 dollar bills that have increased in value by over 6,400%. In fact, in this rare case one uncut dozen from 1928 sold for $18,400.00," Speakman said. It is important that the general public have 2 forms of 10 ready and call the assigned Hotline number to beat the deadline. "Once they see the Bank Books they'll try to get more but it may be too late. When they're gone, they're gone. And dealers are being turned away. That's why time is so pressing," he said. 8 Must have 2 forms of ID when calling to claim the money 1. A valid credit card. cl AIH: /~. 2. A valid driver license or state 10. .... 1,0 E . . !

Thai duo collectively scored more points and had more offensive rebounds (9) than the Silver and Black combim:d. Afterwards River Vallev coach Harvey Brown acknowledged those fine individual efforts. although the game plan was to try and stop those very things from happening. "We knew we had to slow those two down. We had to keep them under 30 points if we were going to have a chance to win." Brown commented. "We didn' t do that, and that was the big difference in the game. They did a nice job." Neither team shot the ball overly well. EHS was 18of-47 from the field for 38 percent and River Valley ended the contest with a 15· of-46 effort for just under 33 percent. Eastern coach Dave Weber thought that the Lady Raiders did a much better job defensively and showed vast improvement from their earlier matchup back on Dec. I I .

Temperatures are expected to be in the single digits at night and well below freezing during the day, meaning residential power demand will be high this week. There is no shortage of power; however, consumer rates can increase if demand sets a new record. Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative urges its members to help the system avoid a peak demand situation by following a few simple energy conservation practices: • Please limit your use of hot water whenever possible. Electric water heater thermostats can be set back a few degrees to save on energy consumption. • Turn back the thermostat of electric heaters/ furnaces a few degrees. • Use only one major electrical appliance at a time. • Reduce lighting. Turn off lights in rooms not being occupied and at bedtime. • Block cracks around window frames or under outside doors to prevent infiltration of cold air. • If you don't have storm windows or doors, cover frames with plastic sheeting. Finally, remember to be aware of electrical and lire hazards at all times.

Students in at least one district will be able to sleep in a bit Tuesday, as well, due to the cold temperature s. Eastern Local School Di strict Superintendent Rick Edwards said that system will operate on a two-hour delay today, and Meigs Local Superintendent William Buckley expects school s to be delayed or even canceled there, as well on Tuesday. American Electric Power customers in Middleport awoke to dark and cold houses Monday morning, due to two se parate outages, believed to have been related. AEP Spokesman Jeff Rennie said 2,457 customers in the Middleport area were without power for approximately two hours. Rennie said two circuit breakers at the Rutland substation malfunctioned and were repaired. He said AEP has not determined if the service interruption was related to the cold weather. Classes were canceled in Meigs Local, Buckley said, because diesel-fueled school buses would not stan due to the sub-zero Monday morning temperatures. "We started the day with a two-hour delay, but. when it came time to stan the buses, POMEROY -Christi Lynch-Mash of Pomeroy will continue to work as a Congressional field representative in Athens, Meigs and Washington Counties, under U.S. Rep.
