Jonesy, a four-year old Labrador Retriever came from Huntingtonburg, Ind. where he'd been working for the past two years with the local police department. Jonesy's handler in Huntingtonburg didn't have the time to devote to the dog's continued training so the department agreed to sell him for $1,000 to the Pomeroy Police Department. Jonesy, certified as an official working police dog in Indiana, must now go through training to become certified in Ohio along with his handler Alan Queen, assistant chief of police for Pomeroy. Jonesy is certified to sniff out marijuana, heroi n, cocaine. methamphetamines, hashish and certain pain pills. If the dog snitfs any of these drugs he doesn' t scratch or bark but simply sits down to alert the handler. This simple gesture from the dog can give the officer probable cause to search a vehicle after a traffic stop where drugs are suspected. Once certified, the dog will be commissioned as an official officer by the mayor and work five days a week. If otT duty the dog and his handler will also be on call to assist not only Pomeroy but possibly other local law enforcement according to Queen. Queen said he's Department of Rehabilitation Corrections for four years after being found guilty of community control violations.

Gorilla VVarfare Dear Gorilla: The best ways are shaving. waxing, depilatories, and professional electrolysis or laser hair removal. The lirst three are fairly inexpensive, but the last two have more permanent results. Shaving is the easie st, but the hair grows back quickly, and you'd have to do it often (and there would be stubble). Waxing can be painful (we' ve all seen the movie), and we recommend trimming the hair with scissors first, but you 'd only have to do it every four to six weeks. Depilatories fall somewhere in between. Pick one, lind a friend to help you, and give it u try. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Nina in New York," who has Crohn's disease .

The prize-winning projects are the ones that clearly yet imaginatively detiionstrate an interesting scientific principle. So you can forget about winning a prize. What you need is a project that can be done at I a.m. using materia,ls ·found in your house. Ideally, iI should also involve a mini mum of property damage or death, which is why, on the advice of this newspapers legal counsel . we are not going to discuss some of our popular project topics from previous years, such as "What Is Inside Plumbing?" and ''FlameProofing Your Cat." Whatever topic you select. your project should be divided into three parts: (I) The Hypothesis. (2 ) The Pan That Goes After The Hypothesis and (3) The Conclusion (this should always be the same a.s the Hypothesis). The hypothesis - which comes from the Greek. words "hypot." meaning ••word," and ''hesis: · mean- ing "that I am looking up in the dictionary right now" is defined as · "an unproved theory. proposition. supposition, etc.. tentatively accepted to explain certain facts." For ex.an1ple. a good hypothesis for your science fair project might be: "There is a lot of gravi- ty amund. " You could prove this via an experiment in which you pick up various household items such as underwear, small appliances, siblings, etc., and observe what happens when you let go of them. Your c:onclusion would. of cour~ e. be: "There is a lot of gravity around ." This would be dramatically illustrated in your science fair exhibit by the fact that your Official Science Fair Dtsplay Board was lying face down on the tloor. Ir that project sounds like too much effort, you might consider duplicating the one that my wife swears she did in the 7th grade late on the night before the science fair. It was called "Waves." and it consisted entirely of a baking pan filled with water, and a pencil. "You swished the pencil around in the water, and it made waves," my wife explained. I asked her what scientific principle this project demonstrated, and, after thinking about it for a moment, she answered : "The movement of the water." Impossible though it may sound. I did a project in 6th grade that was even lamer than that. It was called "Phases of the Moon," and it consisted of a small rubber ball that I had dUI'kened half of by scribbling on it with a pen. You were supposed to rotate the ball. thus demonstrating scientifically that the phases of the moon were .caused by. I don't know. ink. The total elapsed time involved in conceiving of and constructing thi s project was maybe 10 minutes, of which at least nine were devoted to scribbling .

So your school is having a science f.air' Great' The science fair has long been a favorite educational tool in the American school system, and for a good reason: Your teachers hate you. Ha-hl\! No, seriously, although a science fair can seem like a big "pain," it can help you understand important scientific principles. such as Newton's First Law of Inertia, which states: "A body at rest will remain at rest until 8:45 p.m. the night before the science fair project is due, at which point the body will come rushing to the body's parents, who are already in their pajamas, and shout, ' I JUST REMEMBERED THE SCIENCE FAIR IS TOMORROW AND WE GOTTA GO TO THE STORE RIGHT NOW!"' · Being driven to the store by pajama-wearing parents at the last minute is the most important part of any science fair project, because your project, to be legal, must have an Otlicial Science Fair Display Board. This is a big white board that you fold into three sections. thus giving it the stability that it needs to collapse instantly when approached by humans. The international scientiftc community does not recognize any scientific diswvery that does not have an Official Science Fair Display Board teetering behind it : many top scientists fail to win the Nobel Prize for exactly this reason. Once you have returned home and gotten 'your display board folded into three ilunbap tltimr• -&rntinrl• Page As Pomeroy • Middleport • Galllpolls it still might have been a success had it not been for the fact that some of my fellow students found it amusing to snatch up the moon and throw it, so that it became son of a gypsy exhibit, traveling around the Harold C.

Of course; if you want to . get a good grade, you have to do a project that will impress your teachers. Here's a proven winner: "HYPOTHESIS - That (Name of Teacher) and (Name of Another Teacher) would prefer that I not distribute the photo I took of them when they were 'chaperoning' our class trip to Epcot Center and they ducked behind the cottagecheese exhibit in the Amazing World Of Curds." Depending un the quality of your research, you might get more than a good grade from your teachers: You might get actual money! Yes, science truly can be rewarding. So why wail until the last minute to start your science fair project? Why not get staned immediately on exploring the amazing world of science, without which we would not have modem technology.

PRESS WRITER VATICAN CITY-A4~0year-old receipt has provided proof that Michelangelo keJ;ll a private room in St. Peter s Basilica while working as the pope's chief architect, Vatican e11pens said. While going through the basilica archives for an exhibit on the 500th anniversary of the church, researchers recently came across an entry for a key to a chest "in the ('OOm in St. Peter's where Master Michelangelo retires." The Renaissance painter and sculptor whose frescoes adorn the ceiling of · the Sistine chapel in the Vatican was put in charge of the restoration of St. Peter's basilica by Pope Paul Ill at age 71 in 1546, a job he held until his death in 1564. Michelangelo's greatest contribution to the basilica was his design for the central dome or cupola, a universally acknowledged architectural triumph. "We now know that Michelangelo definitely had a private space in the basilica," said Maria Cristina Carlo-Stella, who runs the Fabbrica di San Pietro, the office where the basilica's archives are kept. "The next step is to identify it." The ink-scripted entry for the key was contained in a parchment-covered volume listing the expenditures of the Fabbrica for the years 15561558. It refers to the payment of I0 scudos to the blacksmith who forged the key, but offers no details about the chest or the location of the room. Vatican officials reported the find during the current exhibition. although the volume was not put on display. The basilica - 610 teet long and 449 feet at its widest - took 120 years to build over a previous Roman basilica, constructed by the emperor Constantine. The tirst stone was placed by Pope Julius II in 1506 and Pope Urban VUI consecrated it in 1626. At least 10 architects succeeded each other as directors of the construction. among them Donato Bramante, who drew up the initial project. and Micbelangelo. A frescoed room with a cozy fireplace i11 the area where the arrh1ves are housed 't· ' ,.. ' .' has traditionally been called "Ia stanza di Michelangelo," or Michelangelo's room. Located on an upper tloor in the left wing of the basilica. it is connected to the ground tloor by · a winding, marble staircase - fueling speculation that the room could have been the anist's private sanc- ~wever, research shows the room was added during renovations after Michelangelo's death. "The theory is very romantic and conspiratorial. but totally unfounded," said Federico Bellini, an an histodan who works in the archives department. He said a 16th-century sketch of the left wing of the basilica shows it was nothing more than a pile of rubble intertwined with vegetation during Michelangelo's time at the Vatican. The Fabbrica, whose documents date from as far back as I 506, was originally housed in the right wing of the basilica, which had already built at the time of Michelangelo. Research indicates that anisans had been allotted lodgings there, leading experts to direct their search for Michelangelo's studio to that area. One detail the 450-yearold receipt does reveal is that Michelangelo had requested a very expensive key. Accordine; to archivist Simona Turriztani, 10 scudos in the 1550s was more than the monthly salary of manv of the artisans working on the basilica. "The key was surely meant to kee~ that chest tightly locked,' she said. COLUMBIA. S.C.- HIV sufferer Deadra LawsonSmith is still gettinj! back on her feet after batthng pneumonia that sent her to a hospital emergency I'Oilm and kept her out of work for pans of the past two months. The 44-year-old single mother's health deteriorated because she couldn't afford treatment for the virus that causes AIDS. Her insurer initially balked at paying her clatms and the state didn't pitch in to help pay for her medication. Lawson-Smith is far from alone : Hundreds of sick people are waiting for financial assistance from South Carolina, which has the longest such waiting list in the nation and ranks ninth in the number of AIDS cases per capita. Since the list staned in June, four people waiting for help have died. "I just pray and get up every morning," said Lawson-Smith, who went a year without treatment. "My ·system started breaking down." More than 15,000 South Carolinians have HI V or AIDS, and about 800 more are diagnosed every year. Residents without insurance who earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid tum to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program for help getting prescriptiO'ns filled. But federal funding for the program hasn't kept pace with demand, forcing the state lo start a waiting list that has grown to 432 names and is expected to top 600 byv.July. said Lynda Kettinger. directoF of the STD/HIV Division at the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. STANLEY SAUNDERS MONUMENTS Custom designed & lettered for your Hours: Mon-Fri. 9:00am to 5:00pm The agency has helped most patients on the list get their medicines through other assistance programs, but · that process is lengthy and the assistance temporary. Now, some advocates and South Carolina lawmakers are fighting to pump $5 million in state money into the program to end the wait. It's a massive increase compared to the $500,000 South Carolina has contributed in past years. Though South Carolina's typical contribution is not the smallest - some drug-assistance programs operate with no state money - it's a fraction of neighboring North Carolina's $12.1 million and Georgia's $11.3 million, according to the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors. Advocates here are;ue the $5 million for prescnptions, plus another $3 million requested for doctor care, is a deal compared to the billions of dollars AIDS patients would cost the state m emergency medical visits and lost work time. "Either pay and keep people healthy or pay when they're in the hospital," said Lawson-Smith, a peer advocate for the South Carolina HIV/AIDS Council who tries to educate people about the disease. The stigma that continues to follow HIV and AIDS, par- ticularly in the South, helps fuel the spread of the disease because people are afraid to talk and learn about it, said Bambi Gaddist, executive director of the council. The effect is felt hardest in the black community, which represents about 75 percent of the state's HIV/AIDS cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are key: It helps people live longer, stay healthy enough to work and get rid of the need for state and federal assistance, she said. "We can no longer act like this is not happening," Gaddis! said. "We're all paying the price. You may not be African-American or living in poverty, but you are paying." The number of states with AIDS treatment waiting lists has fluctuated since the program's creation in 1990, topping out at II states couple of years ago, said Jennifer Kates, vice presi· dent and director of HIV policy at the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. Doyounttd Health lnsuranctl I Cllllllilt ,au with • ,...., llldhidulllllldl. Clime for I Fill qualt Amanda Brannon _ .. _ ·--._..

The prize-winning projects are the ones that clearly yet imaginatively detiionstrate an interesting scientific principle. So you can forget about winning a prize. What you need is a project that can be done at I a.m. using materia,ls ·found in your house. Ideally, iI should also involve a mini mum of property damage or death, which is why, on the advice of this newspapers legal counsel . we are not going to discuss some of our popular project topics from previous years, such as "What Is Inside Plumbing?" and ''FlameProofing Your Cat." Whatever topic you select. your project should be divided into three parts: (I) The Hypothesis. (2 ) The Pan That Goes After The Hypothesis and (3) The Conclusion (this should always be the same a.s the Hypothesis). The hypothesis - which comes from the Greek. words "hypot." meaning ••word," and ''hesis: · mean- ing "that I am looking up in the dictionary right now" is defined as · "an unproved theory. proposition. supposition, etc.. tentatively accepted to explain certain facts." For ex.an1ple. a good hypothesis for your science fair project might be: "There is a lot of gravi- ty amund. " You could prove this via an experiment in which you pick up various household items such as underwear, small appliances, siblings, etc., and observe what happens when you let go of them. Your c:onclusion would. of cour~ e. be: "There is a lot of gravity around ." This would be dramatically illustrated in your science fair exhibit by the fact that your Official Science Fair Dtsplay Board was lying face down on the tloor. Ir that project sounds like too much effort, you might consider duplicating the one that my wife swears she did in the 7th grade late on the night before the science fair. It was called "Waves." and it consisted entirely of a baking pan filled with water, and a pencil. "You swished the pencil around in the water, and it made waves," my wife explained. I asked her what scientific principle this project demonstrated, and, after thinking about it for a moment, she answered : "The movement of the water." Impossible though it may sound. I did a project in 6th grade that was even lamer than that. It was called "Phases of the Moon," and it consisted of a small rubber ball that I had dUI'kened half of by scribbling on it with a pen. You were supposed to rotate the ball. thus demonstrating scientifically that the phases of the moon were .caused by. I don't know. ink. The total elapsed time involved in conceiving of and constructing thi s project was maybe 10 minutes, of which at least nine were devoted to scribbling .

So your school is having a science f.air' Great' The science fair has long been a favorite educational tool in the American school system, and for a good reason: Your teachers hate you. Ha-hl\! No, seriously, although a science fair can seem like a big "pain," it can help you understand important scientific principles. such as Newton's First Law of Inertia, which states: "A body at rest will remain at rest until 8:45 p.m. the night before the science fair project is due, at which point the body will come rushing to the body's parents, who are already in their pajamas, and shout, ' I JUST REMEMBERED THE SCIENCE FAIR IS TOMORROW AND WE GOTTA GO TO THE STORE RIGHT NOW!"' · Being driven to the store by pajama-wearing parents at the last minute is the most important part of any science fair project, because your project, to be legal, must have an Otlicial Science Fair Display Board. This is a big white board that you fold into three sections. thus giving it the stability that it needs to collapse instantly when approached by humans. The international scientiftc community does not recognize any scientific diswvery that does not have an Official Science Fair Display Board teetering behind it : many top scientists fail to win the Nobel Prize for exactly this reason.

Of course; if you want to . get a good grade, you have to do a project that will impress your teachers. Here's a proven winner: "HYPOTHESIS - That (Name of Teacher) and (Name of Another Teacher) would prefer that I not distribute the photo I took of them when they were 'chaperoning' our class trip to Epcot Center and they ducked behind the cottagecheese exhibit in the Amazing World Of Curds." Depending un the quality of your research, you might get more than a good grade from your teachers: You might get actual money! Yes, science truly can be rewarding. So why wail until the last minute to start your science fair project? Why not get staned immediately on exploring the amazing world of science, without which we would not have modem technology.

PRESS WRITER VATICAN CITY-A4~0year-old receipt has provided proof that Michelangelo keJ;ll a private room in St. Peter s Basilica while working as the pope's chief architect, Vatican e11pens said. While going through the basilica archives for an exhibit on the 500th anniversary of the church, researchers recently came across an entry for a key to a chest "in the ('OOm in St. Peter's where Master Michelangelo retires." The Renaissance painter and sculptor whose frescoes adorn the ceiling of · the Sistine chapel in the Vatican was put in charge of the restoration of St. Peter's basilica by Pope Paul Ill at age 71 in 1546, a job he held until his death in 1564. Michelangelo's greatest contribution to the basilica was his design for the central dome or cupola, a universally acknowledged architectural triumph. "We now know that Michelangelo definitely had a private space in the basilica," said Maria Cristina Carlo-Stella, who runs the Fabbrica di San Pietro, the office where the basilica's archives are kept. "The next step is to identify it." The ink-scripted entry for the key was contained in a parchment-covered volume listing the expenditures of the Fabbrica for the years 15561558. It refers to the payment of I0 scudos to the blacksmith who forged the key, but offers no details about the chest or the location of the room. Vatican officials reported the find during the current exhibition. although the volume was not put on display. The basilica - 610 teet long and 449 feet at its widest - took 120 years to build over a previous Roman basilica, constructed by the emperor Constantine. The tirst stone was placed by Pope Julius II in 1506 and Pope Urban VUI consecrated it in 1626. At least 10 architects succeeded each other as directors of the construction. among them Donato Bramante, who drew up the initial project. and Micbelangelo. A frescoed room with a cozy fireplace i11 the area where the arrh1ves are housed 't· ' ,.. ' .' has traditionally been called "Ia stanza di Michelangelo," or Michelangelo's room. Located on an upper tloor in the left wing of the basilica. it is connected to the ground tloor by · a winding, marble staircase - fueling speculation that the room could have been the anist's private sanc- ~wever, research shows the room was added during renovations after Michelangelo's death. "The theory is very romantic and conspiratorial. but totally unfounded," said Federico Bellini, an an histodan who works in the archives department. He said a 16th-century sketch of the left wing of the basilica shows it was nothing more than a pile of rubble intertwined with vegetation during Michelangelo's time at the Vatican. The Fabbrica, whose documents date from as far back as I 506, was originally housed in the right wing of the basilica, which had already built at the time of Michelangelo. Research indicates that anisans had been allotted lodgings there, leading experts to direct their search for Michelangelo's studio to that area. One detail the 450-yearold receipt does reveal is that Michelangelo had requested a very expensive key. Accordine; to archivist Simona Turriztani, 10 scudos in the 1550s was more than the monthly salary of manv of the artisans working on the basilica. "The key was surely meant to kee~ that chest tightly locked,' she said. COLUMBIA. S.C.- HIV sufferer Deadra LawsonSmith is still gettinj! back on her feet after batthng pneumonia that sent her to a hospital emergency I'Oilm and kept her out of work for pans of the past two months. The 44-year-old single mother's health deteriorated because she couldn't afford treatment for the virus that causes AIDS. Her insurer initially balked at paying her clatms and the state didn't pitch in to help pay for her medication. Lawson-Smith is far from alone : Hundreds of sick people are waiting for financial assistance from South Carolina, which has the longest such waiting list in the nation and ranks ninth in the number of AIDS cases per capita. Since the list staned in June, four people waiting for help have died. "I just pray and get up every morning," said Lawson-Smith, who went a year without treatment. "My ·system started breaking down." More than 15,000 South Carolinians have HI V or AIDS, and about 800 more are diagnosed every year. Residents without insurance who earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid tum to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program for help getting prescriptiO'ns filled. But federal funding for the program hasn't kept pace with demand, forcing the state lo start a waiting list that has grown to 432 names and is expected to top 600 byv.July. said Lynda Kettinger. directoF of the STD/HIV Division at the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. STANLEY SAUNDERS MONUMENTS Custom designed & lettered for your Hours: Mon-Fri. 9:00am to 5:00pm The agency has helped most patients on the list get their medicines through other assistance programs, but · that process is lengthy and the assistance temporary. Now, some advocates and South Carolina lawmakers are fighting to pump $5 million in state money into the program to end the wait. It's a massive increase compared to the $500,000 South Carolina has contributed in past years. Though South Carolina's typical contribution is not the smallest - some drug-assistance programs operate with no state money - it's a fraction of neighboring North Carolina's $12.1 million and Georgia's $11.3 million, according to the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors. Advocates here are;ue the $5 million for prescnptions, plus another $3 million requested for doctor care, is a deal compared to the billions of dollars AIDS patients would cost the state m emergency medical visits and lost work time. "Either pay and keep people healthy or pay when they're in the hospital," said Lawson-Smith, a peer advocate for the South Carolina HIV/AIDS Council who tries to educate people about the disease. The stigma that continues to follow HIV and AIDS, par- ticularly in the South, helps fuel the spread of the disease because people are afraid to talk and learn about it, said Bambi Gaddist, executive director of the council. The effect is felt hardest in the black community, which represents about 75 percent of the state's HIV/AIDS cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are key: It helps people live longer, stay healthy enough to work and get rid of the need for state and federal assistance, she said. "We can no longer act like this is not happening," Gaddis! said. "We're all paying the price. You may not be African-American or living in poverty, but you are paying." The number of states with AIDS treatment waiting lists has fluctuated since the program's creation in 1990, topping out at II states couple of years ago, said Jennifer Kates, vice presi· dent and director of HIV policy at the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. Doyounttd Health lnsuranctl I Cllllllilt ,au with • ,...., llldhidulllllldl. Clime for I Fill qualt Amanda Brannon _ .. _ ·--._..

Wahama didn't score until five minutes into the first quarter as the Devilettes went on top 15-6 to open play. Ravenswood then extended that lead to 30-16 at the break and showed no signs of slowing down. Led by Kylie Wolfe, who had a game high 22 points, the home squad continued its strong play in the second half as it outscored Wahama 24- ~9 over the final 16 minutes to take the 19-point victory. Wahama head coach Tim Howard credited a break- Shocks ~ pointment for us, so we all wanted to come out and get this one for him," Carroll said. "This one was for Alex." McGrath __ who starred and played briefly in the first quarter Friday ni~hthas been out of the hpeup for two .weeks followin_g a concusston agamst Waterford. He did not score in the triumph. -. Although the younger Eagles have gone on v. ithout their experienced leader, EHS coach Howie Caldwell has been impressed with the way his underclassmen have stepped up ov!)r that span. And that sentiment was no different afterwards Friday. especially after trailing 4630 with just over three minutes left in the third period. "You could just sense that these guys were gettmg better about five or six days ago. We have spent a tremendous amount of time shootmg _the basketball, 31,1d 1t ts startmg to pay off a httie bit We can see ourselves starring to grow," Caldwell commented. "In tbe thud quarrer tonight. we had four or live straight turnovers and were down 16 at one point Three weeks ago. or even at mid-season, we wouldn't have come back. We would have just quit" Trailing 31-27 at. intermission EHS comrrutted five turn~vers before ever attempting a shol in the second half That offensive lull down in defense as a contributer to the problems the team faced in the early portion of the game. When the two teams met earlier in the 111 Mason, year Ravenswood only beat the Lady Falcons 48-43. Amy Atkinson and Rebecca Samples were just behind Wolfe with I 0 points apiece, while Ashley Prince chipped - in six points , Kayla Cooper had four and Barb Myers had two points.

The hosts closed the quaeter out on a 7-2 run and tratled by nine headed i1ito the stretch run. The Falcons re-established a double-digit edge at the 6·34 mark of the fourth when Dustin Householder's lay-up gave the guests a 5040 advantage. Then, Carroll went to work . Over the next 2:28, Carroll single-handedly outscored Miller by a 14-2 margin, giving the hosts th · fi 1 d f th · h etr ust ea 0 e mg t midway through the fourth frame. Miller responded with a 40 run over the next I :41 to reclaim the lead at 56-54 with 2:25 left m regulatton, but the guests went scoreless the rest of the evening. Kyle Rawson tied the game at 56-all after a lay-up with 44 seconds remaining, setting up the dramatic conelusion. Eastern had possession with over 30 seconds remaining and worked the ball around to kill some clock. With around 10 seconds left, Carroll found an opening in the Miller defense and attempted a baseline jumper for the goahead score. The ball caromed off the rim and into the anns of a Miller player, which resulted in an immediate timeout . by the guests. With just eight seconds remaining m regulation, the Falcons had to go the length of the 11oor to attempt a game-winner.

In regards to the outcome and his lone senior, Caldwell was more than praiseful of his club afterwards. . "I'm proud of them, I really am. They've overcome an awful lot and hung in there this year," Caldwell said. ''I'm very proud of the one senior we have, Alex McGrath. He's done an awful lot for this program ever since he was a freshman, and I'm glad we could send him out with a win."

Wahama didn't score until five minutes into the first quarter as the Devilettes went on top 15-6 to open play. Ravenswood then extended that lead to 30-16 at the break and showed no signs of slowing down. Led by Kylie Wolfe, who had a game high 22 points, the home squad continued its strong play in the second half as it outscored Wahama 24- ~9 over the final 16 minutes to take the 19-point victory. Wahama head coach Tim Howard credited a break- Shocks ~ pointment for us, so we all wanted to come out and get this one for him," Carroll said. "This one was for Alex." McGrath __ who starred and played briefly in the first quarter Friday ni~hthas been out of the hpeup for two .weeks followin_g a concusston agamst Waterford. He did not score in the triumph. -. Although the younger Eagles have gone on v. ithout their experienced leader, EHS coach Howie Caldwell has been impressed with the way his underclassmen have stepped up ov!)r that span. And that sentiment was no different afterwards Friday. especially after trailing 4630 with just over three minutes left in the third period. "You could just sense that these guys were gettmg better about five or six days ago. We have spent a tremendous amount of time shootmg _the basketball, 31,1d 1t ts startmg to pay off a httie bit We can see ourselves starring to grow," Caldwell commented. "In tbe thud quarrer tonight. we had four or live straight turnovers and were down 16 at one point Three weeks ago. or even at mid-season, we wouldn't have come back. We would have just quit" Trailing 31-27 at. intermission EHS comrrutted five turn~vers before ever attempting a shol in the second half That offensive lull down in defense as a contributer to the problems the team faced in the early portion of the game. When the two teams met earlier in the 111 Mason, year Ravenswood only beat the Lady Falcons 48-43. Amy Atkinson and Rebecca Samples were just behind Wolfe with I 0 points apiece, while Ashley Prince chipped - in six points , Kayla Cooper had four and Barb Myers had two points.

The hosts closed the quaeter out on a 7-2 run and tratled by nine headed i1ito the stretch run. The Falcons re-established a double-digit edge at the 6·34 mark of the fourth when Dustin Householder's lay-up gave the guests a 5040 advantage. Then, Carroll went to work . Over the next 2:28, Carroll single-handedly outscored Miller by a 14-2 margin, giving the hosts th · fi 1 d f th · h etr ust ea 0 e mg t midway through the fourth frame. Miller responded with a 40 run over the next I :41 to reclaim the lead at 56-54 with 2:25 left m regulatton, but the guests went scoreless the rest of the evening. Kyle Rawson tied the game at 56-all after a lay-up with 44 seconds remaining, setting up the dramatic conelusion. Eastern had possession with over 30 seconds remaining and worked the ball around to kill some clock. With around 10 seconds left, Carroll found an opening in the Miller defense and attempted a baseline jumper for the goahead score. The ball caromed off the rim and into the anns of a Miller player, which resulted in an immediate timeout . by the guests. With just eight seconds remaining m regulation, the Falcons had to go the length of the 11oor to attempt a game-winner.

In regards to the outcome and his lone senior, Caldwell was more than praiseful of his club afterwards. . "I'm proud of them, I really am. They've overcome an awful lot and hung in there this year," Caldwell said. ''I'm very proud of the one senior we have, Alex McGrath. He's done an awful lot for this program ever since he was a freshman, and I'm glad we could send him out with a win."

PPHS played a smart basketball game and it paid off as Point Pleasant claimed its second win of the season against 17 defeats. "We played the type of game we've been looking for all season," Blain said after the win. "Our pressure defense never really allowed them to get into the flow of their game and that was a huge factor. We :also made some good decisions regarding when to attack the basket and when tu utilize our half court offense and I feel that it was those decisions that :proved to be the difference ·tn the game." : The ·Big Blacks shot a respectable 43 percent from the floor and received a balanced scoring efforl to go along with its intense defensive play as three Point Pleasant seniors here honored during pre-game -ceremonies. Seniors Trasawn Bonecutter, Will 'Slone and Jay Ellis all made significant contributions in the PPHS triumph as did Tyson Jones, B.J. Lloyd, Steven Perry and Jeremy Legg.

In fact, the little bluebird is practically a symbol of happiness and contentment. The American philosopher/naturalist Henry David Thoreau said the bluebird "carries the sky on his back." It may be said that a cheerful person has the "bluebird uf happiness," or that having a bluebird on your shoulder means everything is "satisfactch'll," according to Uncle Remus. In that perfect place "somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly." The bluebird represents love, and even peace. During World War II, a popular song said "there'll bluebirds over, the white cliffs of Dover... there'll be love and laughter and peace ever after." The song was a hit, despite the fact that the bluebird is not found in Europe. Frank Sinatra sang "I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing, and then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love." In fact it seems nothing bad can be said about the little bluebird. He has a (,lelightful song, is comfortable living near humans, and is completely harmless (unless you are an insect). Early settlers and farmers intentionally provi~ nests and boxes for the bluebirds, knowing the birds would eat insects and not harm their fruits and vegetables. Perhaps I need to be a little more specific, when I am talking bluebirds, I specifically mean the Eastern Bluebird; there are other blue birds out there, the raucous blue jay springs to mind. The Eastern Bluebird is much smaller; the male has a bright blue back, head, wings and tail with a chestnut-red throat and chest; the female of the species is a pale blue with a gray head. Many landowners and bluebird lovers provide nesting places for this favored bird. . Among the tips for good bird landlords is to have boxes erected in the field by March 15 (less than a month In the ' Open Jim Freeman away), and don't mount nest boxes on trees or fence posts which provide easy access to predators. AI ways install boxes with predator guards to keep out snakes, cats and raccoons, and don't install nests with a perch, the bluebirds don't need a perch. plus they attract house sparrows and other predators. House sparrows, starlings and cats are among the bluebirds' worst enemies. Bluebird nest construction takes about two weeks, after which the female lays one egg per day on consecutive days for a clutch of 4-6 eggs. Normally eggs are blue, but there can be white eggs. Incubation averages 12-14 days and nestlings fledge 1823 days after hatching. One pair of bluebirds may raise three broods in a single season. Bluebird boxes should be at least 300 feet apart, the length of a football field. Pairing of next boxes is acceptable, but bluebirds will not nest in both boxes if they are within 300 feet of each other. Remove nest material immediately after the young have fledged and dispose of it in a location distant from the nest box. Also, don't be discouraged if new boxes are not used during the first year; sometimes it takes a while.

PPHS played a smart basketball game and it paid off as Point Pleasant claimed its second win of the season against 17 defeats. "We played the type of game we've been looking for all season," Blain said after the win. "Our pressure defense never really allowed them to get into the flow of their game and that was a huge factor. We :also made some good decisions regarding when to attack the basket and when tu utilize our half court offense and I feel that it was those decisions that :proved to be the difference ·tn the game." : The ·Big Blacks shot a respectable 43 percent from the floor and received a balanced scoring efforl to go along with its intense defensive play as three Point Pleasant seniors here honored during pre-game -ceremonies. Seniors Trasawn Bonecutter, Will 'Slone and Jay Ellis all made significant contributions in the PPHS triumph as did Tyson Jones, B.J. Lloyd, Steven Perry and Jeremy Legg. Sl6ne led all scorers on .the ni&ht with II points with Jones dropping in 10 markers in the game. Bonecutter, Perry and Ellis NSXT'FIV. - 11) Kurt .' gle bird species that arouses such feelings of comfort and beauty than the bluebird. In fact, the little bluebird is practically a symbol of happiness and contentment. The American philosopher/naturalist Henry David Thoreau said the bluebird "carries the sky on his back." It may be said that a cheerful person has the "bluebird uf happiness," or that having a bluebird on your shoulder means everything is "satisfactch'll," according to Uncle Remus. In that perfect place "somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly." The bluebird represents love, and even peace. During World War II, a popular song said "there'll bluebirds over, the white cliffs of Dover... there'll be love and laughter and peace ever after." The song was a hit, despite the fact that the bluebird is not found in Europe. Frank Sinatra sang "I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing, and then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love." In fact it seems nothing bad can be said about the little bluebird. He has a (,lelightful song, is comfortable living near humans, and is completely harmless (unless you are an insect). Early settlers and farmers intentionally provi~ nests and boxes for the bluebirds, knowing the birds would eat insects and not harm their fruits and vegetables. Perhaps I need to be a little more specific, when I am talking bluebirds, I specifically mean the Eastern Bluebird; there are other blue birds out there, the raucous blue jay springs to mind. The Eastern Bluebird is much smaller; the male has a bright blue back, head, wings and tail with a chestnut-red throat and chest; the female of the species is a pale blue with a gray head. Many landowners and bluebird lovers provide nesting places for this favored bird. . Among the tips for good bird landlords is to have boxes erected in the field by March 15 (less than a month In the ' Open Jim Freeman away), and don't mount nest boxes on trees or fence posts which provide easy access to predators.

House sparrows, starlings and cats are among the bluebirds' worst enemies. Bluebird nest construction takes about two weeks, after which the female lays one egg per day on consecutive days for a clutch of 4-6 eggs. Normally eggs are blue, but there can be white eggs. Incubation averages 12-14 days and nestlings fledge 1823 days after hatching. One pair of bluebirds may raise three broods in a single season. Bluebird boxes should be at least 300 feet apart, the length of a football field. Pairing of next boxes is acceptable, but bluebirds will not nest in both boxes if they are within 300 feet of each other. Remove nest material immediately after the young have fledged and dispose of it in a location distant from the nest box. Also, don't be discouraged if new boxes are not used during the first year; sometimes it takes a while.

Virginia history occurred on Sept. 25, 1909, at Institute. W.Va. Front page coverage in almost all of the large newspapers in West Virginia announced the death of this man three days before the above date. That man was J. McHenry Jones. longtime president of the West Virginia Colored Institute. later known as West Virginia State College. Mr. Jones was born in Gallipolis on Aug. 28. 1859. According to a biographical sketch in the book , The Srorr of the Jones Familv , the above came from "one of the oldest families in Ohio, his maternal grandmother. having been brought from Kentucky by her mother in 1802. and settled on a farm in Lawrence County. His paternal greatgrandfather. Joseph Ailstock, the so n of an Englishman who married an Indian squaw, followed the dubious fonunes of the great George Was hington from the evacuation of Boston to the surrender of Yorktown." James lived in Gallipolis as well as in . Law rence County with his grandmoth-· er, and also in New Richmond, Ohio, and Pomeroy. At age 16, James became a schoolteacher near Rutland. At age 17, he was licensed to preach by the Free Will Baptist church. He later became the first black student to enter and graduate from Pomeroy High School. It was said that he marched into the principal's office and said, · 'The State of Ohio owes me an education; you must either allow me to enter this school or hire a s~ecial teacher to instruct me. ' Mr. Jones later graduated from Wilberforce and Rusk : University in Mississippi · and served as principal of : the African American : schools in Wheeling, W.Va., · before going to Institute. While at Institute, he also .edited a weekly newspaper . and indulged in a number of : business ventures, including · beginning with other pan: ners the first black-owned : oil and gas company in .Ohio history, Wilgera Oil :and Gas Co. That operation : owned several hundred ; acres in Washington and • Morgan counties. . One of J, McHenrv Jones' most interesting experiences came just after the death of his first wife of live years, Carrier. He was chosen to represent the United Order of Oddfellows in Bolton, England. That was where that fraternity had begun. According to his biography. '·In England he was treated more as a prince than a common citizen. He was given 21 banquets, three by members of Parliament , he spoke at them all , not because he wanted to but because they insisted upon him at every occasion." McHenry happened to be in England at the time of the Queen's Jubilee and with some of his English friends rode in the procession. He wore a Prince Albert suit and si lk plug hat. that together with hi s tanned complexion gave him the appearance of a foreigner. The people along the line of march mistook him fur an Indian prince and ran after his carriage, cheering the prince. He always acknowledged by do tfmg hi s hat. This was kept up through the entire line. Atter finishing his mission in England, he visited Scotland, Wales and the Continent. Jones later wrote about his experiences in a book published by the Oddfellows. "Atier McHenry retumed from England, he entered immediately into the work as president at Institute.

The West Virginia Colored Institute, near Charleston, was begun in 1892. Jones was there from 1899 to 1909. While he was president. the school went from 90 students to 250. Several acres of land were added and five buildings were erected during his time there. Jones was active in ReJ?ublican politics, once givmg a seconding speech that nominated George Atkinson for governor of West Virginia.

Dr. Health Department to offer shingles vaccine BY JUDY LtNDER, BSN, RN PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE GALUA COu"NT'Y HEALTH DEPARTMENT . In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new vaccine called Zostavax to reduce the risk of shingles (herpes zoster) in people aged 60 and older. Shingles is a rash disease that is m'Ost common in older people and people with a weakened immune system. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are an estimated I million cases every year in the United States. If I were guessing I would say that most of us have either had the disease or have known or heard of someone who has had a "bad case" of the shingles. Their most common complaint was probabl~ the severe, unrelenting pam that they suffered. Shingle s occur in people who have had chickenpox in the past. The varicella zoster vuus lies dormant in the body for many years and then for some reason reactivates, probably related to aging or weakening of the i'mmune system, as herpes zoster (shingles). People with shingles will often experience pain, tingling, numbness or i'tching before the rash appears. Depending on the nerve that is affected, the pain can be mistaken for gallstones, pleurisy, appendicitis or kidney stones. The rash will usually appear in a well defined area on one side of the body or face two to five days after the first symptoms. The rash starts as blisters that scab over in three to five davs and usually clear up within two to four weeks. The outbreak of shingles can be controlled somewhat by anti viral medications if the treatment is started ~arl y - within 48' hours of the onset of sy mptoms. Alltiviral drugs such as Zovirax , Famvir, and Valtrex can help control the herpes infection hy pre-. venting the reproduction of the virus in the nerve cells. To help relieve the associated pain, doctors may rec ommend over the counte r ·drugs ·such as ibuprofen, ·naproxen or acetuminophen . Unfortunately, about 20 percent of the people who get shin!(les will have severe pain that continues after the ras·h clears. This is called postherpetic neuralgia or PHN. The older a person is when they develop the disease, the more likely they are to experience PHN . Sometimes the pain is so severe that a person cannot tolerate cloth1ng or even a breeze over the affected area . Many post-herpetic ne ura lg ia sufferers are unable to find treatment that is effective in controlling the pain. As it is with chickenpox. most people will only develop one case of shingles in their lifetime. A person with shingles cannot spread the shingles to another person, but they can spread chickenpox to a person who has never had chickenpox. The rash "sheds" the varicella-zoster virus and someone who lacks immunity to the disease can develop it. Persons who have never had chickenpox should try to avoid contact with the shingles rash . Because many Gallia County residents are aware of the health depanment's commitment to disease control by means of immunization, there have been many requests for the new shingles vaccine, Zostavax. The vaccine should be available mid-February for an approximate cost of $156. The cost includes the cost of the vaccine plus a $10 charge for administration. Payment for the vaccine is cash or money order only. Persons with Medicare Pan D may be reimbursed for the vaccine when they submit their receipt to Medicare . As I ~tated earlier, the vaccine IS only for adults aged 60 and older. It helps your immune system protect you from getting shingles and the associated pain that accompanies it. Some people may still get shingles after vaccination, but Zostavax may help lessen the severity of the disease and may prevent the severe nerve pain that sometimes follows the rash. The vaccine is not used to treat shingles and is not given to a person who has had shingles in the past. The vaccine is given in one dose under the skin and may cause redness. pain. some swelling or itching at the injection site. If you or someone you know are interested in the vaccine, please contact the Nursing Section of tlie health depanment at 4412950 for more information or to <1dd your name to the list of those wishing to receive the vaccine.

Virginia history occurred on Sept. 25, 1909, at Institute. W.Va. Front page coverage in almost all of the large newspapers in West Virginia announced the death of this man three days before the above date. That man was J. McHenry Jones. longtime president of the West Virginia Colored Institute. later known as West Virginia State College. Mr. Jones was born in Gallipolis on Aug. 28. 1859. According to a biographical sketch in the book , The Srorr of the Jones Familv , the above came from "one of the oldest families in Ohio, his maternal grandmother. having been brought from Kentucky by her mother in 1802. and settled on a farm in Lawrence County. His paternal greatgrandfather. Joseph Ailstock, the so n of an Englishman who married an Indian squaw, followed the dubious fonunes of the great George Was hington from the evacuation of Boston to the surrender of Yorktown." James lived in Gallipolis as well as in . Law rence County with his grandmoth-· er, and also in New Richmond, Ohio, and Pomeroy. At age 16, James became a schoolteacher near Rutland. At age 17, he was licensed to preach by the Free Will Baptist church. He later became the first black student to enter and graduate from Pomeroy High School. It was said that he marched into the principal's office and said, · 'The State of Ohio owes me an education; you must either allow me to enter this school or hire a s~ecial teacher to instruct me. ' Mr. Jones later graduated from Wilberforce and Rusk : University in Mississippi · and served as principal of : the African American : schools in Wheeling, W.Va., · before going to Institute. While at Institute, he also .edited a weekly newspaper . and indulged in a number of : business ventures, including · beginning with other pan: ners the first black-owned : oil and gas company in .Ohio history, Wilgera Oil :and Gas Co. That operation : owned several hundred ; acres in Washington and • Morgan counties. . One of J, McHenrv Jones' most interesting experiences came just after the death of his first wife of live years, Carrier. He was chosen to represent the United Order of Oddfellows in Bolton, England. That was where that fraternity had begun. According to his biography. '·In England he was treated more as a prince than a common citizen. He was given 21 banquets, three by members of Parliament , he spoke at them all , not because he wanted to but because they insisted upon him at every occasion." McHenry happened to be in England at the time of the Queen's Jubilee and with some of his English friends rode in the procession. He wore a Prince Albert suit and si lk plug hat. that together with hi s tanned complexion gave him the appearance of a foreigner. The people along the line of march mistook him fur an Indian prince and ran after his carriage, cheering the prince. He always acknowledged by do tfmg hi s hat. This was kept up through the entire line. Atter finishing his mission in England, he visited Scotland, Wales and the Continent. Jones later wrote about his experiences in a book published by the Oddfellows. "Atier McHenry retumed from England, he entered immediately into the work as president at Institute. He proved himself to be a good executive, the school began to grow, large appropriations were made, new buildings were erected, the faculty was enlarged, students began to pour in from West Virginia, Ohio and other states." The West Virginia Colored Institute, near Charleston, was begun in 1892. Jones was there from 1899 to 1909. While he was president. the school went from 90 students to 250. Several acres of land were added and five buildings were erected during his time there. Jones was active in ReJ?ublican politics, once givmg a seconding speech that nominated George Atkinson for governor of West Virginia. He traveled the country giving lectures on behalf of the Oddfellows and the Epwonh League of the Methodist Church. Jones' novel Hearts of Gold was widely read at the tum of the century. He had written two other novels, one of which was lost by the publisher and one that was never rewritten. He had other novels in the works as well as waiting to be written upon his expected retirement in a few years. (James Sands is a special correspondent for the Sunday Times-Sentinel.

Dr. Health Department to offer shingles vaccine BY JUDY LtNDER, BSN, RN PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE GALUA COu"NT'Y HEALTH DEPARTMENT . In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new vaccine called Zostavax to reduce the risk of shingles (herpes zoster) in people aged 60 and older. Shingles is a rash disease that is m'Ost common in older people and people with a weakened immune system. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are an estimated I million cases every year in the United States. If I were guessing I would say that most of us have either had the disease or have known or heard of someone who has had a "bad case" of the shingles. Their most common complaint was probabl~ the severe, unrelenting pam that they suffered. Shingle s occur in people who have had chickenpox in the past. The varicella zoster vuus lies dormant in the body for many years and then for some reason reactivates, probably related to aging or weakening of the i'mmune system, as herpes zoster (shingles). People with shingles will often experience pain, tingling, numbness or i'tching before the rash appears. Depending on the nerve that is affected, the pain can be mistaken for gallstones, pleurisy, appendicitis or kidney stones. The rash will usually appear in a well defined area on one side of the body or face two to five days after the first symptoms. The rash starts as blisters that scab over in three to five davs and usually clear up within two to four weeks. The outbreak of shingles can be controlled somewhat by anti viral medications if the treatment is started ~arl y - within 48' hours of the onset of sy mptoms. Alltiviral drugs such as Zovirax , Famvir, and Valtrex can help control the herpes infection hy pre-. venting the reproduction of the virus in the nerve cells. To help relieve the associated pain, doctors may rec ommend over the counte r ·drugs ·such as ibuprofen, ·naproxen or acetuminophen . Unfortunately, about 20 percent of the people who get shin!(les will have severe pain that continues after the ras·h clears. This is called postherpetic neuralgia or PHN. The older a person is when they develop the disease, the more likely they are to experience PHN . Sometimes the pain is so severe that a person cannot tolerate cloth1ng or even a breeze over the affected area . Many post-herpetic ne ura lg ia sufferers are unable to find treatment that is effective in controlling the pain. As it is with chickenpox. most people will only develop one case of shingles in their lifetime. A person with shingles cannot spread the shingles to another person, but they can spread chickenpox to a person who has never had chickenpox. The rash "sheds" the varicella-zoster virus and someone who lacks immunity to the disease can develop it. Persons who have never had chickenpox should try to avoid contact with the shingles rash . Because many Gallia County residents are aware of the health depanment's commitment to disease control by means of immunization, there have been many requests for the new shingles vaccine, Zostavax. The vaccine should be available mid-February for an approximate cost of $156. The cost includes the cost of the vaccine plus a $10 charge for administration. Payment for the vaccine is cash or money order only. Persons with Medicare Pan D may be reimbursed for the vaccine when they submit their receipt to Medicare . As I ~tated earlier, the vaccine IS only for adults aged 60 and older. It helps your immune system protect you from getting shingles and the associated pain that accompanies it. Some people may still get shingles after vaccination, but Zostavax may help lessen the severity of the disease and may prevent the severe nerve pain that sometimes follows the rash. The vaccine is not used to treat shingles and is not given to a person who has had shingles in the past. The vaccine is given in one dose under the skin and may cause redness. pain. some swelling or itching at the injection site. If you or someone you know are interested in the vaccine, please contact the Nursing Section of tlie health depanment at 4412950 for more information or to <1dd your name to the list of those wishing to receive the vaccine.

Sunday,Februaryt8,2007 No easy lessons found in this Nobel work Orhan Pamuk of Turkey rece ntl y wo n the Nobel Prize for Literature . This is the hi ghest honor for any writer and i' given for a life ·s work , not an individual book. I staned Snow several months ago and did not finish it . It is not an easy book, but perhaps it is panly the transl ation from another language . I am largely ignorant of Turkey:s hi story, though we visited there some 35 years ago. Our destination was Ephesus, which was being excavated. by archeological teams, the city to which Paul wrote one of his New Te stament letters. We stayed in lzmir, the nearest city, which was lovely. Snow takes place in the northeast corner of Turkey, once a crossroads between Turkey. Soviet Georgia, Armenia and Iran . Part of this country is in Asia, part in Europe, and thus ha s served as a bridge between the two continents for centuries . The story begin s with Ka. Beverly Gettles a poet and journalist, traveling to Kars. a povenystricken town in which young girls have been committing suicide becau se they have been forbidden to wear their headscarves as a sign of their religious beliefs. A three-day bliz zard cut s off the town from the surrounding areas. The town is a political hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism, communism and Kurdish nationalism. Ka is hoping to lind his long-lost love, lpek. who is now divorced. He and lpek are witnesses to assassination of the Minister of Education , who has expelled the "headscarf girl s" from cla"es at the uni ve rsity. Al so, during a theater performance telev ised for the citizens of Kars, the military open fire on protesters from a boys' hi gh school, killing several of them and sening cff a violent period of political assas~in ati on s in the town. A sul;lplot includes lpek 's sister, Kadife . who is in love with Blue, a radical Islamic leader who is hiding out in Kars and must stay one step ahead of the police to survive. One reviewer said , "The plot is absorbing for a reader who is interested in politics and religion, but the novel may be slow for readers looking for a plot- or character-based novel." The book was published in Turkey before 9/11 , so is not a reaction to it. The Turkish government threatened to jail Pamuk for insulting them . He said in a recent interview that "the Turkish state is damaging democracy, human rights and the country." He has abo cri ticized the state's approach to the Kurdi sh problem and says the mili tary is tryi ng to crush the separati st rebellion. He also th ink' the war in Iraq will raise the tension between the East and West. Perhap s the lessons Pamuk has to teach us concern every person' s search for meaning and faith in his lite. One of the things he reminds us is that "a terrorist is first of all a human bein g." We wonder how they became so radicalized they will forfeit their lives, safety and kill innocents for a cause . Indeed , what makes an Osama or a Timothy McVeigh? In this work. Pamuk seems torn between Eastern and Western cultures. One character says that just because their country is poor, they are regarded by Europe as ignorant . They deeply resent that. People of every country want respect. You can learn a lot from Organ Pamuk, but it won't be easy. Book explains importance of obscure 19th-century war Bv MARIO SZICHMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER "War and Genocide in Cuba, 1895-1898." By John Lawrence Tone. The University of North Ctuolina Press. 338 Pages. $35. ••• Cuba's battle for independence from Spain was a war "in which the concentration camp was invented, Cuba was born, Spain lost its empire, ami America gained an overseas empire," John Lawrence Tone writes in his excellent book, ··war and Genocide in ·Cuba. 18951898.'' It was also Spain's Vietnam. a total war fought by Cuban insurgents against all odds. The settin11 was the Caribbean Basm, which during the 19th century became the site of some of the worst carnage the world had seen. Sugar was the big prize. The century had staned with the rebellion of black slaves in La Hispaniola (modern-day Hail!) and ended with the battle for independence in Cuba. Both were fought by liberation armies for which black Africans provided some of the best officers. Tone writes that about 780,000 Africans went to Cuba between 1791 and 1867 to work as slaves in the cane fields and sugar mills. refashioning Cuba as a slave society "just when slavery was coming under attack almost everywhere else.'' Steam power was introduced into Cuba's sugar mills as early as 1796, when it was still new to many industrial processes, making Cuba an "outpost of the world capitalist system." The Cubans fought hard to oust the Spaniards, tirst in the Ten Years' War ( 1868-78) and later in the 1895-98 contlict, when some veterans oi the earlier fighting had become weary of Spain's failure to keep some promises made in the peace treaty. · The war had its saint, Jose Marti , one of the finest intellectuals Spanish America has produced. But · it also had its Robespierres: Cuban generals Maximo Gomez and Antonio Maceo; and its butcher, Spanish Gen. Valeriano Weyler. The most charismatic figure was Marti . He was not a military man, but he did not want to be considered meek. So, in a foolish charge against a Spanish infantry column, riding a white horse and armed with only a pistol, he was mortally wounded by rifle fire. Gomez, leader of the insurgents, told his soldiers they should be frightened only by "the horrible idea of Cuba's future" if Spain were to win. Maceo was even more blunt. He ordered hi s forces to "destroy, destroy, always destroy," because "to annihilate Cuba is to defeat the enemy." Tbe Spaniards discovered Cuban fighters to be as tough an enemy as the U.S. later found the Viet Cong. "Spaniards did not face Claymore mines and pangee traps," Tone writes, ''but the Cubans used dynamite, ambush, and constant sniping to make travel through the countryside a fearsome thing." · To fight the insurgency, the Spaniards turned to Weyler. who invented the "reconcentration," in which civilians were forcefully relocated to places con- · trolled by Spanish troops and their Cuban allies. Ton~ writes that reconcentration "turned an already cruel war into what some have termed genocide ." Spani sh troops uprooted half a million civilians and herded them into barracks. Tone calculates that between 155,000 and 170,000 civilians - about 10 percent of the population - perished in these camps.

People have misconceptions about costs, how long it takes to go through programs, how comfortable they will feel on campus and how well they can do in their classes. Whitt will answer questions from the adults at the meeting. and will also lead a discussion focw.ing on things that adult students ought to know about college. Following are a few things that Whitt said adult students should know. although many do not: • Students can gain college credit for their life and work expedences. • lt is very imponant to have an academic advisor, who can help you map your path through college. • Colleges provide career counselin~ and job placement servtces. • Every student, no matter the age, comes to campus with specific l'oals, fears and misconcepuons. • Adult student s come back to college for a wide variety of reasons. • It is important to have family suppon, and to continue to spend quality time with family members while in college. • Financial aid may be available. • lt 's very important to keep up with the reading in your classes. • Libraries have changed over the years, but they are still very helpful and a k~y part of college. • Never be afraid to ask a question.

Sunday,Februaryt8,2007 No easy lessons found in this Nobel work Orhan Pamuk of Turkey rece ntl y wo n the Nobel Prize for Literature . This is the hi ghest honor for any writer and i' given for a life ·s work , not an individual book. I staned Snow several months ago and did not finish it . It is not an easy book, but perhaps it is panly the transl ation from another language . I am largely ignorant of Turkey:s hi story, though we visited there some 35 years ago. Our destination was Ephesus, which was being excavated. by archeological teams, the city to which Paul wrote one of his New Te stament letters. We stayed in lzmir, the nearest city, which was lovely. Snow takes place in the northeast corner of Turkey, once a crossroads between Turkey. Soviet Georgia, Armenia and Iran . Part of this country is in Asia, part in Europe, and thus ha s served as a bridge between the two continents for centuries . The story begin s with Ka. Beverly Gettles a poet and journalist, traveling to Kars. a povenystricken town in which young girls have been committing suicide becau se they have been forbidden to wear their headscarves as a sign of their religious beliefs. A three-day bliz zard cut s off the town from the surrounding areas. The town is a political hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism, communism and Kurdish nationalism. Ka is hoping to lind his long-lost love, lpek. who is now divorced. He and lpek are witnesses to assassination of the Minister of Education , who has expelled the "headscarf girl s" from cla"es at the uni ve rsity. Al so, during a theater performance telev ised for the citizens of Kars, the military open fire on protesters from a boys' hi gh school, killing several of them and sening cff a violent period of political assas~in ati on s in the town. A sul;lplot includes lpek 's sister, Kadife . who is in love with Blue, a radical Islamic leader who is hiding out in Kars and must stay one step ahead of the police to survive. One reviewer said , "The plot is absorbing for a reader who is interested in politics and religion, but the novel may be slow for readers looking for a plot- or character-based novel." The book was published in Turkey before 9/11 , so is not a reaction to it. The Turkish government threatened to jail Pamuk for insulting them . He said in a recent interview that "the Turkish state is damaging democracy, human rights and the country." He has abo cri ticized the state's approach to the Kurdi sh problem and says the mili tary is tryi ng to crush the separati st rebellion. He also th ink' the war in Iraq will raise the tension between the East and West. Perhap s the lessons Pamuk has to teach us concern every person' s search for meaning and faith in his lite. One of the things he reminds us is that "a terrorist is first of all a human bein g." We wonder how they became so radicalized they will forfeit their lives, safety and kill innocents for a cause . Indeed , what makes an Osama or a Timothy McVeigh? In this work. Pamuk seems torn between Eastern and Western cultures. One character says that just because their country is poor, they are regarded by Europe as ignorant . They deeply resent that. People of every country want respect. You can learn a lot from Organ Pamuk, but it won't be easy. Book explains importance of obscure 19th-century war Bv MARIO SZICHMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER "War and Genocide in Cuba, 1895-1898." By John Lawrence Tone. The University of North Ctuolina Press. 338 Pages. $35. ••• Cuba's battle for independence from Spain was a war "in which the concentration camp was invented, Cuba was born, Spain lost its empire, ami America gained an overseas empire," John Lawrence Tone writes in his excellent book, ··war and Genocide in ·Cuba. 18951898.'' It was also Spain's Vietnam. a total war fought by Cuban insurgents against all odds. The settin11 was the Caribbean Basm, which during the 19th century became the site of some of the worst carnage the world had seen. Sugar was the big prize. The century had staned with the rebellion of black slaves in La Hispaniola (modern-day Hail!) and ended with the battle for independence in Cuba. Both were fought by liberation armies for which black Africans provided some of the best officers. Tone writes that about 780,000 Africans went to Cuba between 1791 and 1867 to work as slaves in the cane fields and sugar mills. refashioning Cuba as a slave society "just when slavery was coming under attack almost everywhere else.'' Steam power was introduced into Cuba's sugar mills as early as 1796, when it was still new to many industrial processes, making Cuba an "outpost of the world capitalist system." The Cubans fought hard to oust the Spaniards, tirst in the Ten Years' War ( 1868-78) and later in the 1895-98 contlict, when some veterans oi the earlier fighting had become weary of Spain's failure to keep some promises made in the peace treaty. · The war had its saint, Jose Marti , one of the finest intellectuals Spanish America has produced. But · it also had its Robespierres: Cuban generals Maximo Gomez and Antonio Maceo; and its butcher, Spanish Gen. Valeriano Weyler. The most charismatic figure was Marti . He was not a military man, but he did not want to be considered meek. So, in a foolish charge against a Spanish infantry column, riding a white horse and armed with only a pistol, he was mortally wounded by rifle fire. Gomez, leader of the insurgents, told his soldiers they should be frightened only by "the horrible idea of Cuba's future" if Spain were to win. Maceo was even more blunt. He ordered hi s forces to "destroy, destroy, always destroy," because "to annihilate Cuba is to defeat the enemy." Tbe Spaniards discovered Cuban fighters to be as tough an enemy as the U.S. later found the Viet Cong. "Spaniards did not face Claymore mines and pangee traps," Tone writes, ''but the Cubans used dynamite, ambush, and constant sniping to make travel through the countryside a fearsome thing." · To fight the insurgency, the Spaniards turned to Weyler. who invented the "reconcentration," in which civilians were forcefully relocated to places con- · trolled by Spanish troops and their Cuban allies. Ton~ writes that reconcentration "turned an already cruel war into what some have termed genocide ." Spani sh troops uprooted half a million civilians and herded them into barracks. Tone calculates that between 155,000 and 170,000 civilians - about 10 percent of the population - perished in these camps.

The itinerary: Depart from a Florida port; spend a beach day at beautiful Labadee on the northern tip of Haiti; and take in the scenery, sights and shopping at stops in Osl.hu ·~ios, Jamatca; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel in Mexico's Western Caribbean . We were immediately hooked on cruising. Six months later, we sailed to ports in the eastern Caribbean .

One of the most beloved fairy tales of all time will be presented by a group of 10 youth actors Feb. 23-25. "Beauty and the Beast" was originally staged at the Ariel in 1991 . Joseph Wright, executive director of The Ariel- Dater Hall says, "It is amazing to see how much more advanced our curent production is from the one presented in 1991. Although , in many ways, we still operate on a shoestring budget. we now have much more elaborate settings, an electronic lighting system, special effects. and · for this production, beautiful medieval costumes created by Cheryl Enyart." "Beauty and the Beast" is presented under the direction of veteran Ariel Jr. Theatre production director Kim Vanco. Cast members from Gallia and Mason counties have joined forces to bring this production to life. Performances are set for Friday, Feb. 23 and Saturday. Feb. 24 at 7 p.m.. as well as Sunday.

My wife, Gina, and I had sailed an identical route 4 112 years earlier on our maiden cruise . The itinerary: Depart from a Florida port; spend a beach day at beautiful Labadee on the northern tip of Haiti; and take in the scenery, sights and shopping at stops in Osl.hu ·~ios, Jamatca; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel in Mexico's Western Caribbean . We were immediately hooked on cruising. Six months later, we sailed to ports in the eastern Caribbean . Our third cruise. in June 2005, we left Seanle and followed the scenic Inner Passage to Alaska, This time, we chose to redo the western Caribbean route. We were in a throng of 13 family members and friends that sailed on Roval Caribbean International's Mariner of the Seas, the third-largest cruise ship in the world. · Cruises on large ships are perfect for groups because there's so much to do on board. People can join organized activities with other cruisers, or rind solace in solitary moments . My oldest brother found napping on an open deck - away from the bu stle of the pool areas - to be the perfect way to relax . Other family members JUmped right into the fray of things. Several of the men , myself excluded, volunteered for a ''sexy legs contest" and enjoyed the attention from several hundred hooting, appreciative women. I took lots of photos. With a dozen or so bars and several restaurants , few could have been dry or hungry on the ship. Most food is free on cruises . Alcoholic drinks are extra.

Winter cold stress on cattle may affect how well your cows' calve thi s spring according to Steve Boyles, OSU Beef btension specialist. Cold stress alters the . maintenance energy require. ment of livestock. Cold stress factors include cold temperatures, wind, snow, rain and mud. The primary factor is air temperature s, especially when below 5 degrees F. Daily dry matter intake needs to be a minimum of sixteen percent higher than in late spring. Boyles states that while energy requirements increase, protein requirements remain the same . Cattle in muddy and wet conditions require even more feed. Make sure you know the nutrient levels of your stockpiled .forage and hay. OSU Extension has a fact sheet on Forage Testing, ANR 2-98 that describes the proper sampling techniques for vanous forages and explains the results. Make sure a good clean source of water is available when temperatures are below freezing.

New Hampshire legislators seek aid for dairy farmers CONCORD, N.H . {AP) - Days after Vermont lawmakers agreed on a mechanism to provide $3 million in emergency aid to dairy farmers , some New Hampshire legislators hope to adopt a similar plan. · State Rep. Jay Phmizy, who chairs the House Environment and Agriculture Committee, said that falling milk prices are .threatening the state's dairy •industry and it's time to act. He has co-sponsored a bill that would create a $3 million Emergency Milk Relief Fund through a 2.5 cents per gallon tax on milk distributors. When the wholesale price of milk falls below $12 per hundred pounds of milk produced, the money would be distributed to farmers.

"We're talking about getting a really good floor, a good base of suppon for the dairy farmer." The committee will hear three hills involving milk this week. Another proposal would create a similar fund, but would pay out subsidies to farmers when the price of milk falls below $14 per hundredweight. The third bill would require distributors to pay farmers at least half the retail price of milk.

The treatment area includes 460 acres in Gallia County, 2,840 acres in Jackson County and 13. I07 acres in Meigs and Gallia counties. To help educate concerned residents about the tre~tment program, the department will host an open house where residents can talk directly with plant pest contro l staff and view displays about the moth and maps of local and other treatment sites.

In the Rutland treatment block of Meigs and Gallia co·unties, and the Mulga treatment block of Jackson County, the department will use a mating disruption technique which disperses a synthetic female pheromone on a plastic !lake. The !lake then disrupts the male moth's ability to locate the tlightless female and mate. The applications will he .made in mid -May, during the first and second instar stages of the caterpillar. The treatment is not toxic to humans, pets, birds, or fish . The gypsy moth is a nonnative, invasive species that has been advancing into Ohio from Pennsylvania and Michigan over the last several years. In its caterpillar stage, it feeds on the leaves of tree' and 'hrubs <md i' especially fond of oak. A healthy tree can usually withstand only two years of defoliation before it is permanently damaged or dies. To date , 46 of Ohio's 8M counties have established gypsy moth populations. The department operates three programs aimed at managing the gypsy nJolh in Ohio - the "Suppression" program in counties where the pest is established, the "Slow-the-Spread" program in counties within the transition zone, and the "Eradication" program in areas not infested and outside the transition zone. The Suppression program is a voluntary program in which the landowner must reque st treatment. The focus of the Slow-the-Spread pro~ram is to detect and control 1solated populations which helps slow the gypsy moths' movement. The Eradication program is designed to eliminate isolated populations that arise ahead of the trans1l10n zone. B Joe ks across Ohio to be treated this vear include : 1,200 acres 'in Allen Co unty, 138 acres in Ashtabula County, 696 acres in Butler Countv, 31,626 acres in Clark County, 371 acres in Delaware County, 460 acres in G;lilia County, 2.040 acrt'~ in Greene County, 2,304 acres in Hamilton County. 2.R40 acres in Jackson County, 2,930 acres in Lorain County, 538 acres in Lucas County, 7,565 acres in Madison County, 3H acres in Marion County, 13 , 107 acres in Meigs and Gallia counties, 649 acres in Montgomery County, 6,048 acres _ in Pike County, I 00,000 acres in Pike and Ross counties and 7,700 acres in Putnam County.

A tiny pest that has caused billions of dollars in danJage to cotton fields nationwide has nearly been eradicated from Arkansas fields, officials said.

The insect should he all but eliminated from Arkansas cotton fields in two years, he said. "It's just a blessing to see the improvement in the yields and the quality," Kizer said. The eradication program, combined with heartier cotton varieties and more acreage planted in cotton. has made for record improvements, he said. · In 1998 - the year before Arkansas' eradication program began - Arkansas cotton fields yielded 645 pounds per acre. That peracre figure hit 1,076 pounds in 2006. Arkansas' highest yield ever was in 2004 1,114 pounds per acre. The U.S. Department of Agriculture initiated the volunteer eradication program in 17 cotton-producing states. beginning in 1983 .

Winter cold stress on cattle may affect how well your cows' calve thi s spring according to Steve Boyles, OSU Beef btension specialist. Cold stress alters the . maintenance energy require. ment of livestock. Cold stress factors include cold temperatures, wind, snow, rain and mud. The primary factor is air temperature s, especially when below 5 degrees F. Daily dry matter intake needs to be a minimum of sixteen percent higher than in late spring. Boyles states that while energy requirements increase, protein requirements remain the same . Cattle in muddy and wet conditions require even more feed. Make sure you know the nutrient levels of your stockpiled .forage and hay. OSU Extension has a fact sheet on Forage Testing, ANR 2-98 that describes the proper sampling techniques for vanous forages and explains the results. Make sure a good clean source of water is available when temperatures are below freezing. For a full discussion of feeding cattle in cold temperatures go to the OSU Beef'Team Newsletter Issue 24 at http://beef.osu.edu. ••• Are you interested in raising bees?

(Hal Kneen is the Meigs County Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator, Ohio State University Extension.) New Hampshire legislators seek aid for dairy farmers CONCORD, N.H . {AP) - Days after Vermont lawmakers agreed on a mechanism to provide $3 million in emergency aid to dairy farmers , some New Hampshire legislators hope to adopt a similar plan. · State Rep. Jay Phmizy, who chairs the House Environment and Agriculture Committee, said that falling milk prices are .threatening the state's dairy •industry and it's time to act. He has co-sponsored a bill that would create a $3 million Emergency Milk Relief Fund through a 2.5 cents per gallon tax on milk distributors. When the wholesale price of milk falls below $12 per hundred pounds of milk produced, the money would be distributed to farmers. Association names new member GALLIPOLIS Meghan Adams-Call of Gallipolis is a new junior me mber of1 the American Angus Association, reports John Crouch, executive vice president of the national organization with headquarters in Saint Joseph, Mo. Junior members of the association are eli~ible to register . cattle m the American Angus Association, participate in prol!rams conducted by the Nauonal Junior Angus Association and take part in as soc ia t ion- s ponsored show s and other national and regional events. The American Angus Association is the largest beef registry association in the world, with more than 34,000 active adu lt and junior members. • "We've been talking about this for years and, lrankJy, I'm tired of talking about it," said Phinizy, a Democrat. "We're talking about getting a really good floor, a good base of suppon for the dairy farmer." The committee will hear three hills involving milk this week. Another proposal would create a similar fund, but would pay out subsidies to farmers when the price of milk falls below $14 per hundredweight. The third bill would require distributors to pay farmers at least half the retail price of milk. FARM PageD2 Pomeroy • Sunday,February18,2007 'Qtribune - Sentinel - l\e ister Gypsy Moth treatment slated for area REYNOLDSBURG The Ohio Derartment of Agriculture wil target areas in Meigs, Jackson and Galli a counties for . gypsy moth suppression treatments designed to slow the spread of this destructive insect. The treatment area includes 460 acres in Gallia County, 2,840 acres in Jackson County and 13. I07 acres in Meigs and Gallia counties. To help educate concerned residents about the tre~tment program, the department will host an open house where residents can talk directly with plant pest contro l staff and view displays about the moth and maps of local and other treatment sites. Meigs County - Rutland Treatment Block, Treatment Blocks, Monday, Feb. 26, 6 to 8 p.m., OSU Extension Office, 117 E. Memorial Drive, Pomeroy. Gallia County Gallipolis Treatment Block, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 6 to 8 OSU Extension p .m ., Office, Ill Jackson Pike, Gallipolis. Jackson County Hamden, Jackson and Mulga, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 6 to 8 p.m., OUS Extension Office, 17 Standpipe Road, Jackson. These are open housestyle meetings ; residents are welcome any time during the hours listed. · In the Rutland area of Meigs County. the Hamden, Jackson and Mulga areas of Jackson County and the Gallipolis area of Gallia County, the department will use Btk, <I microbial compound that occurs naturally 111 numerous species of agricultural and forest insects and is a soil component worldwide. In the Rutland treatment block of Meigs and Gallia co·unties, and the Mulga treatment block of Jackson County, the department will use a mating disruption technique which disperses a synthetic female pheromone on a plastic !lake. The !lake then disrupts the male moth's ability to locate the tlightless female and mate. The applications will he .made in mid -May, during the first and second instar stages of the caterpillar. The treatment is not toxic to humans, pets, birds, or fish . The gypsy moth is a nonnative, invasive species that has been advancing into Ohio from Pennsylvania and Michigan over the last several years. In its caterpillar stage, it feeds on the leaves of tree' and 'hrubs <md i' especially fond of oak. A healthy tree can usually withstand only two years of defoliation before it is permanently damaged or dies. To date , 46 of Ohio's 8M counties have established gypsy moth populations. The department operates three programs aimed at managing the gypsy nJolh in Ohio - the "Suppression" program in counties where the pest is established, the "Slow-the-Spread" program in counties within the transition zone, and the "Eradication" program in areas not infested and outside the transition zone. The Suppression program is a voluntary program in which the landowner must reque st treatment. The focus of the Slow-the-Spread pro~ram is to detect and control 1solated populations which helps slow the gypsy moths' movement. The Eradication program is designed to eliminate isolated populations that arise ahead of the trans1l10n zone. B Joe ks across Ohio to be treated this vear include : 1,200 acres 'in Allen Co unty, 138 acres in Ashtabula County, 696 acres in Butler Countv, 31,626 acres in Clark County, 371 acres in Delaware County, 460 acres in G;lilia County, 2.040 acrt'~ in Greene County, 2,304 acres in Hamilton County. 2.R40 acres in Jackson County, 2,930 acres in Lorain County, 538 acres in Lucas County, 7,565 acres in Madison County, 3H acres in Marion County, 13 , 107 acres in Meigs and Gallia counties, 649 acres in Montgomery County, 6,048 acres _ in Pike County, I 00,000 acres in Pike and Ross counties and 7,700 acres in Putnam County.

Foon iunba~ limt~ ·itntintl PageDs If you 're still struggling with how. to pair reds and whites, you ' ve got a steep learning curve ahead of you . That's because the art of pairing food and drink has taken a tum to the avantgarde, making your worries over which wine best complements your entree seem positively pedestrian. Today, the question isn 't whether shellfish takes chardonnay or shir<!z, but which single -source gourmet dark choco late best marries a porter. Or whether Italian roast coffee shines with cave-aged Gruyere or fresh ricotta. Consider this urge to pair unlikely items l\ symptom of the broadening of the nation's palate. Led by chic restaurateurs and audacious gourmets, Americans searching for the nellt taste sensation are increasingly open to new ways of thinking about old llavors. Such as the partnering of scotch and sushi at San Francisco's Nihon restaurant Or the pairing of riesling and steak tartar at New York's Riingo restaurant Even coffee and cheese, classes on which are offered by Murray's Cheese shop in New York. It's an elltension of Americans' almost obsessive interest in the prove· nance of their food. says Dana Cowin, editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine. "As people understand the individual nuances of things, then the ne-xt question in their mind is how do they go together." Sure, it's serious food geek. And esoteric doesn"t begin to do justice to the discussions that fill Web food forums. But it's also just plain serious, especially for food processors, who are forever searching for the nell! "it" llavor that will launch a product to pop culture success. The Coca-Cola Co., for example, recently partnered with the Culinary Institute of America ilr Hyde Park, N.Y., to brainstorm which foods go well with the company's drink s, including its signature beverage (which they say goes well with Cajun seasoni ng s and coconut). As consumers think more about how food and drink interact, marketers are happy to fuel the interest. The New York wine shop Pour, for example, orga- work ed. 'l om e diUn' t. AP pltol. . Mary Sullivan, Newton. Mass, is offered the chocolate selection which will be paired with beer during a class on how to pair chocolate and beer held at The Wine Gallery in Brookline, Mass on Saturday, January 27. The art of pairing food and drink has moved beyond the expected wine and cheese and taken a turn to the avant-garde. Sullivan?s husband Stephen Ludlum, Newton. Mass, at right The art of pairing food and drink has moved beyond the expected wine and cheese and taken a turn to the avantgarde.

Thus, the wall of wines labeled "crisp," which shoppers are told to partner with seafood, poultry. green herbs and citrus. But wines are just the beginning, says Jerri Banks, the beverage director at Pour. The popularity of mixed drink s has driven interest in pairing cocktails with food. Among her favorites - a jalapenolaced. margarita alongside spicy Mexican food. Of course, there are plenty of failures . Espresso with just about any cheese. for example. "The espresso just blew everything away with the bitterness," says Liz Thorpe, managing director of Murray's Cheese. "I felt like I was sucking on aluminum foil every time I tasted something." .

More successful combinalions included Vienna roast with fresh ricotta (an acidic cof· fee with a rich cheese) and an Italian roast with aged Gruyere (a smoky coffee with a salty, beefy cheese). For intrepid culinarians game for a taste of these unorthodox marriages but unsure where to start, help abounds. At New York's Institute of Either way, Mary Sulliv an. a Newton , Mass., woman who attended with her hu,band , needed little con vincing. They oflcn hav e a bit of beer or scotch with chocolat e in the evenin g. " If you don ' t want to overwhelm your meal . it 's a great dessert," she said. "And really easy, too ," Taste is so relative, many foodies are reluctant to say which combinations work and which don 't. If you like it , it works. But there are some guidelines that can improve your odds of liking a pairing. Karen Page, co-author of "What to Drink with What you Eat," encourages people to think regionally , because foods and drinks with common backgrounds often have complimentary llavors. Cheddar cheese and hard cider, for example, match well. Both are products of England. Page also encourages people to generalize about the heft of the food. Hearty food, hearty drink and lighter food lighter drink (so stout might be a better complement to a roast beef sandwich than to a leafy salad). Perhaps most important, however, is balance. "Every food has certain things that other foods need from a flavor perspective," says David Kamen, chef instructor at the Culinary Institute . "Look for those opposites that attract For ellample, sweet and acidity, sweet and spicy, hot and cold, sally and sweet " Balance is why fried foods and sparkling wines work so well together. Beyond their shared effervescent nature, the acidity of the wine cuts through the fat of the food, he says:· Pizza and soda have a similar relationship. Kamen's school even has developed something it calls a flavor wheel, a pie chart that arranges tastes and textures by what 'balances them. ''I always think of french frie s as the perfect explanation. It's fatty and acidity. It's crunchy and soft It's hot and cold," he says. "The more of those opposites you can get in to it. the better the food pairing." Feb. 24, 2007.

That's because the art of pairing food and drink has taken a tum to the avantgarde, making your worries over which wine best complements your entree seem positively pedestrian. Today, the question isn 't whether shellfish takes chardonnay or shir<!z, but which single -source gourmet dark choco late best marries a porter. Or whether Italian roast coffee shines with cave-aged Gruyere or fresh ricotta. Consider this urge to pair unlikely items l\ symptom of the broadening of the nation's palate. Led by chic restaurateurs and audacious gourmets, Americans searching for the nellt taste sensation are increasingly open to new ways of thinking about old llavors. Such as the partnering of scotch and sushi at San Francisco's Nihon restaurant Or the pairing of riesling and steak tartar at New York's Riingo restaurant Even coffee and cheese, classes on which are offered by Murray's Cheese shop in New York. It's an elltension of Americans' almost obsessive interest in the prove· nance of their food. says Dana Cowin, editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine. "As people understand the individual nuances of things, then the ne-xt question in their mind is how do they go together." Sure, it's serious food geek. And esoteric doesn"t begin to do justice to the discussions that fill Web food forums. But it's also just plain serious, especially for food processors, who are forever searching for the nell!

The Coca-Cola Co., for example, recently partnered with the Culinary Institute of America ilr Hyde Park, N.Y., to brainstorm which foods go well with the company's drink s, including its signature beverage (which they say goes well with Cajun seasoni ng s and coconut).

They oflcn hav e a bit of beer or scotch with chocolat e in the evenin g. " If you don ' t want to overwhelm your meal . it 's a great dessert," she said. "And really easy, too ," Taste is so relative, many foodies are reluctant to say which combinations work and which don 't. If you like it , it works. But there are some guidelines that can improve your odds of liking a pairing. Karen Page, co-author of "What to Drink with What you Eat," encourages people to think regionally , because foods and drinks with common backgrounds often have complimentary llavors. Cheddar cheese and hard cider, for example, match well. Both are products of England. Page also encourages people to generalize about the heft of the food. Hearty food, hearty drink and lighter food lighter drink (so stout might be a better complement to a roast beef sandwich than to a leafy salad). Perhaps most important, however, is balance. "Every food has certain things that other foods need from a flavor perspective," says David Kamen, chef instructor at the Culinary Institute . "Look for those opposites that attract For ellample, sweet and acidity, sweet and spicy, hot and cold, sally and sweet " Balance is why fried foods and sparkling wines work so well together. Beyond their shared effervescent nature, the acidity of the wine cuts through the fat of the food, he says:· Pizza and soda have a similar relationship. Kamen's school even has developed something it calls a flavor wheel, a pie chart that arranges tastes and textures by what 'balances them. ''I always think of french frie s as the perfect explanation. It's fatty and acidity. It's crunchy and soft It's hot and cold," he says. "The more of those opposites you can get in to it. the better the food pairing." Feb. 24, 2007.

CO M MIDDLEPORT - Youth at the Middleport Church of Christ di stributed empty grocery bags to Middleport homes Sunday in preparation for a canned food drive to benefit the food pantry at Rejoicing Life Church. Residents are asked to fill the bags with non-perishable and dry food items and place them on their front porches to be picked up on Saturday. "We will be around between lla.m. and 4 p.m. to pick them up," said Donald Vaughan, Jr.. a youth group leader. The group will also accept donations of non-perishable food at the church during the same hours for those who do not receive bags at home or who live outside of Middleport. "All Meigs County resi- dents are welcome to make food donations," Vaughan said. The food drive is part of an annual 30-Hour Famine benetiting the relief organi zation World Vision . Each year students from all around the United States go without food for 30 Hours to raise money and awareness of world hunger. Last year, the group rai sed nearly $5 ,000 in addition to the canned food collected. This year, the group hopes to exceed that amount . ''The dates for our local ' famine,' Feb. 23 and 24, are one of three National Famine (lates," Vaughan said. "The youth at the church will be fasting along with literally hundreds of thousands of students from all over the United States, which in and of itself is pretty neat, to think that they are part of something ·much larger." Sullmmect photo Jessica Sheets.
