Fortunately. electricity was c·reated, or at least harnessed, and with electricity came artificial light. The tirst experiments in "electro-horticulture" used carbon arc lamps.

Good qualit y, ye t inexpensive, lighting for raising top-quality seedlings can be had with a combination of ordinary cool- or warmwhite fluorescent tubes and incandescent bulbs. Why both?

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."

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came to the region intending to lead a symbolic peace summit. Her plans, how,l!ver, have been eclipsed amid uncertainty and disagreement over how ·to handle last week 's sudden announcement of a power-sharing deal to end internal Palestinian fighting. Rice met for two hours with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, . resolute in his position that he must govern hand-in-hand with • Hamas militants who refuse to moderate anti-Israeli policies. The United States consider Hamas a terrorist group. Later Sunday. the U.S. diplomat held a similarly long meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert over a similarly hard-line ~sition. Israel wtll not recognize a Palestinian government that refuses to renounce violence, honor past commitments and accept Israel's right to exist. Olmert says Washington agrees and will shun the new government. U.S. officials, however, are not going that far - yet. The United States, still hoping Abbas will change Hamas or change his mind, says it will reserve judgment until the planned Palestinian government : takes shape. · Rice acknowledged that · the moment is awkward for discussions of peace. But she wanted to go ahead with Monday's summit with . Abbas and Olmen. "We could have decided not to meet during this time, but I actually think ,that when people have questions and want to exrlore issues that arise out o something like the agreement to form a national unity government that it's better that they be able to do it face to face," Rice told reporters. The meeting was planned before Abbas made his pact with Hamas. The gathering was meant to offer weary Palestinians a brighter vision for their future by opening a discussion of the contours of an eventual Palestinian state. It also was a way to strengthen Abbas in his power struggle with Hamas, which surprised the Bush liS.

BvNOORKHAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER SHAHJOI, Afghanistan A U.S. helicopter suffe,red a "sudden, unexplained loss of power" and crashed Sunday ill southeastern Afghanistan, killing eight American troops, the military said. Fourteen people on board survived. A NATO spokesman denied the helicopter had been shot down, saying the pilot had radioed ahead to report engine problems. It was the deadliest U.S. crash in Afghanistan since last May. The CH-47 Chinook helicopter was carrying 22 U.S. service members under overcast skies when there was a "sudden, unexplained loss of power and control and crashed," U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. David Accetta said. The 14 survivors suffered injuries. The helicopter cra<hed in the Shahjoi district of ZabuJ province, about 50 yards from the main highway between Kabul and Kandahar, and : appeared to be destroyed and scattered in severdl pieces. "It was not enemy ftre related," Col. Tom Collins. spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force. said earlier. . "The pilot was abl!= to radio in · that he was having engine · problems. We· re conftdent it Nations, European Union and Russia have said jointly that a Palestinian government must renounce violence, abide by past agreements with Israel and others and accept Israel's right to exist. The four-member group, known as the Quartet, is the steward of a mothballed 2003 peace plan. The group has taken no position yet on whether Abbas' pact with Hamas meets that test, but Rice said Palestinian statehood rests on it . • "I don't think that there's any doubt that ... an a!lreement to have a Palestmian state and then the actual standing of a Palestinian state is going to have to be on the basis of a government that accepts the ri!lht of Israel to exist," Rtce said. "I can't imagine it any other way." Abbas has had a simple message for U.S. diplomats unhappy with his planned coalition: Take it or leave it. On Sunday, he told Rice the deal with Hamas was the best he could get and aslced her to give it a chance, his aides said. Abbas had tried during months of coalition 1alks to press Hamas to agree to abide by existing peace accords - somethin!l that would imply recognitton of IsraeL He yielded after many rounds of deadly Palestinian infighting. More than 130 Palestinians have died in street clashes and other attacks that have alarmed both Palestinians and Israelis, sapped political momentum and threatened to erode Abbas' authority. "The Americans told us administration by defeating Abbas ' secular Fatah Party in elections 13 months ago. Although U.S . officials brush off any suggestion the pact has tainted Abbas, diplomats have not hidden their displeasure with both the content and timing of the deal he made. Neither the U.S. nor Israel has said it would boycott Abbas, who is widely known by his nickname, Abu Mazen. As head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, he would represent the Palestinians in any peace talks. Negotiations broke down more than six years ago in an explosion of violence between the two sides. "I think that we can continue to work with Abu Mazen, continue to discuss with Abu Mazen, continue to explore with Abu Mazen," Rice said. Rice was the latest U.S. official to lower expectations for Monday's meeting even as she described a deep commitment to the larger goal of peace. · "Nobody is at the f.oint of tal kin'- about a dea ," Rice said. 'We're talking about .. . what the destination might look like." Many of the core questions that frame the hopedfor destination - an independent Palestine alongside Israel - apparently would not be on the table Monday. Those include the borders and the fate of disputed areas of Jerusalem. Israeli leaders were lukewarm about the se>Sion even before Abbas' deal; some have been openly skeptical since. The United States, United was not due to enemy action." Zabul provincial governor Dilber J<m Arman said it was possible that the "helicopter crash W<L' due to bad weather." There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the crash. U.S. and Afghan military blocked reporters from entering the crash site. In July, an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter plunged to the ground shortly after taking off from Kandahar Air Field while responding to a reponed rocket attack against the air base. One crew member was killed. In May 2006, a CH-47 Chinook helicopter went down while attempting a nighttime landing on a small mountaintop in eastern Kunar province, killing 10 U.S. soldiers. In 2005, a U.S. helicopter crd.Shed in Kunar atier apparently being hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing 16 Atnerican troops.

"But we have an understanding with Rice that they will wait until we see this government declare its program ." Olmert said at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday that he .. and President Bush had spoken by phone on Friday aboui the deal and agreed the Palestinians had to go further. "A Palestinian government that won't accept the Quartet conditions won't receive recognition and cooperation," Olmert said.

'The new policy w1U result m fewer inspections at plants with lower risks and better records for handling meat and poultry. "We're just putting resources where the risk is greatest, and those plants that demonslf"dte excellent control will get less of our resources." said Richard Raymond. the Agriculture Department's top food safety official. To decide the level of scrutiny a plant should get. the "riskbased" system will consider the. type of product <md the plant's record of food safety violations.

Especially for some senior citizens, the thought of exercise may seem impossible considering their physical limitations. With arthritis and other aches and pains, some would ftankly rather stay seated. Well, that is exactly what some seniors are doing and let me assure you they are having a great time. Did you know an exercise exists that promotes good cardiovascular health, enhances muscle tone and muscle endurance and reduces stress while seated in a chair? It is called chair volleyball and many O'Bleness Memorial Hospital's SeniorBEAT members are thrilled about the game. O'Bieness' SeniorBEAT chair volleyball group meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30 am. in the University Mall for a healthy start to the day. While they are playing, however, they are having so much fun that it is hard to even consider it exercise. 'The rules are simple. Keep a beach ball in play over a net while seated using the same basic rules as traditional volleybalL While the game requires very little skill to get staried. it is not hard to notice the results through re~ular play. 'When 1 tell someone who hasn't heard of chair volleyball that I am playing for exercise, their first reaction is 'how do you get exercise from sitting in a chair?' I always answer 'a lot!"' SeniorBEAT chair volleyball player Barbara Balch exclaims. You may be surprised how many health benefits chair volleyball offers. It is endorsed by Mitchell J. Silver, DO, cardiologist with MidOhio Cardiology and VascuJar ConsuJtants and director of O'Bleness' cardiac and vascular catheterization Jaboratory, as a means of promoting senior cardiovascular health. "Seated upper body exercise is sometimes easier for senior citizens who bave difficuJty walking or balancing themselves. It provides great cardiovascular fitness, similar to walking and/or bicycling," Silver explains. Some other benefits that players have noticed are increased eye coordination. e11.ercise tO.: lower extremities Submitted photo O'Bieness Memorial Hospital's SeniorBEAT chair volleyball player Trish Morrison attempts to spike the ball during a chair volleyball game at the University Mall.

NATION • WORLD The Daily Sentinel PageA2 The Daily SentineJ Monday, February 19, 2007 overshadows peace summit Bv UBBY QUAID Pi' FOOO AND FARM WRITER Bv ANNE GEARAN AP DIPLOMATIC WRITER JERUSALEM - Hoping to tum the page on six years of stalled Mideast negotiations, the U.S. instead found itself boxed in Sunday bv a characteristically co-mplex political impasse involving ally Israel and the Palestinians. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came to the region intending to lead a symbolic peace summit. Her plans, how,l!ver, have been eclipsed amid uncertainty and disagreement over how ·to handle last week 's sudden announcement of a power-sharing deal to end internal Palestinian fighting. Rice met for two hours with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, . resolute in his position that he must govern hand-in-hand with • Hamas militants who refuse to moderate anti-Israeli policies. The United States consider Hamas a terrorist group. Later Sunday. the U.S. diplomat held a similarly long meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert over a similarly hard-line ~sition. Israel wtll not recognize a Palestinian government that refuses to renounce violence, honor past commitments and accept Israel's right to exist. Olmert says Washington agrees and will shun the new government. U.S. officials, however, are not going that far - yet. The United States, still hoping Abbas will change Hamas or change his mind, says it will reserve judgment until the planned Palestinian government : takes shape. · Rice acknowledged that · the moment is awkward for discussions of peace. But she wanted to go ahead with Monday's summit with . Abbas and Olmen. "We could have decided not to meet during this time, but I actually think ,that when people have questions and want to exrlore issues that arise out o something like the agreement to form a national unity government that it's better that they be able to do it face to face," Rice told reporters. The meeting was planned before Abbas made his pact with Hamas. The gathering was meant to offer weary Palestinians a brighter vision for their future by opening a discussion of the contours of an eventual Palestinian state. It also was a way to strengthen Abbas in his power struggle with Hamas, which surprised the Bush liS.

The U.S. and Israel agreed ahead of a three-way meeting with the Palestinians not to work with any new Palestinian government that does not renounce violence, recognize Israel and accept existing peace agreements, Olmert said Sunday. ........... BvNOORKHAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER SHAHJOI, Afghanistan A U.S. helicopter suffe,red a "sudden, unexplained loss of power" and crashed Sunday ill southeastern Afghanistan, killing eight American troops, the military said. Fourteen people on board survived. A NATO spokesman denied the helicopter had been shot down, saying the pilot had radioed ahead to report engine problems. It was the deadliest U.S. crash in Afghanistan since last May. The CH-47 Chinook helicopter was carrying 22 U.S. service members under overcast skies when there was a "sudden, unexplained loss of power and control and crashed," U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. David Accetta said. The 14 survivors suffered injuries. The helicopter cra<hed in the Shahjoi district of ZabuJ province, about 50 yards from the main highway between Kabul and Kandahar, and : appeared to be destroyed and scattered in severdl pieces. "It was not enemy ftre related," Col. Tom Collins. spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force. said earlier. . "The pilot was abl!= to radio in · that he was having engine · problems. We· re conftdent it Nations, European Union and Russia have said jointly that a Palestinian government must renounce violence, abide by past agreements with Israel and others and accept Israel's right to exist. The four-member group, known as the Quartet, is the steward of a mothballed 2003 peace plan. The group has taken no position yet on whether Abbas' pact with Hamas meets that test, but Rice said Palestinian statehood rests on it . • "I don't think that there's any doubt that ... an a!lreement to have a Palestmian state and then the actual standing of a Palestinian state is going to have to be on the basis of a government that accepts the ri!lht of Israel to exist," Rtce said. "I can't imagine it any other way." Abbas has had a simple message for U.S. diplomats unhappy with his planned coalition: Take it or leave it. On Sunday, he told Rice the deal with Hamas was the best he could get and aslced her to give it a chance, his aides said. Abbas had tried during months of coalition 1alks to press Hamas to agree to abide by existing peace accords - somethin!l that would imply recognitton of IsraeL He yielded after many rounds of deadly Palestinian infighting. More than 130 Palestinians have died in street clashes and other attacks that have alarmed both Palestinians and Israelis, sapped political momentum and threatened to erode Abbas' authority. "The Americans told us administration by defeating Abbas ' secular Fatah Party in elections 13 months ago. Although U.S . officials brush off any suggestion the pact has tainted Abbas, diplomats have not hidden their displeasure with both the content and timing of the deal he made. Neither the U.S. nor Israel has said it would boycott Abbas, who is widely known by his nickname, Abu Mazen. As head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, he would represent the Palestinians in any peace talks. Negotiations broke down more than six years ago in an explosion of violence between the two sides. "I think that we can continue to work with Abu Mazen, continue to discuss with Abu Mazen, continue to explore with Abu Mazen," Rice said. Rice was the latest U.S. official to lower expectations for Monday's meeting even as she described a deep commitment to the larger goal of peace. · "Nobody is at the f.oint of tal kin'- about a dea ," Rice said. 'We're talking about .. . what the destination might look like." Many of the core questions that frame the hopedfor destination - an independent Palestine alongside Israel - apparently would not be on the table Monday. Those include the borders and the fate of disputed areas of Jerusalem. Israeli leaders were lukewarm about the se>Sion even before Abbas' deal; some have been openly skeptical since. The United States, United was not due to enemy action." Zabul provincial governor Dilber J<m Arman said it was possible that the "helicopter crash W<L' due to bad weather." There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the crash. U.S. and Afghan military blocked reporters from entering the crash site. In July, an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter plunged to the ground shortly after taking off from Kandahar Air Field while responding to a reponed rocket attack against the air base. One crew member was killed. In May 2006, a CH-47 Chinook helicopter went down while attempting a nighttime landing on a small mountaintop in eastern Kunar province, killing 10 U.S. soldiers. In 2005, a U.S. helicopter crd.Shed in Kunar atier apparently being hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing 16 Atnerican troops. The military relies heavily on helicopters for transport and operations because of Afghanistan's forbidding terrain ahd lack of passable roads. Dust and the high altitude of AJgh<m's mountains Lake a heavy toll on heliwpter engmes. Thousands of U.S. forces are deployed in southeastern AJghanistan. Separately, NATO-led that this agreement is not meeting (international) conditions," for diplomatic recognition and vital aid, said an Abbas aide, Yasser Abed Rabbo. "But we have an understanding with Rice that they will wait until we see this government declare its program ." Olmert said at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday that he .. and President Bush had spoken by phone on Friday aboui the deal and agreed the Palestinians had to go further. "A Palestinian government that won't accept the Quartet conditions won't receive recognition and cooperation," Olmert said. "The American and Israeli positions are totally identi cal on this issue." forces tn southern Afghanistan shot to death an Afghan m<m they mistook for a suicide bomber, the alliance said Sunday. The man was crossing a road Saturday about seven miles west of Kandahar and appeared to be approaching a NATO convoy, NATO 's International Security Assistance Force said in a statement. '·He appeared to be chanting and refused to heed warnings to stop," the ISAF statement said. "As he continued his approach, members of the convoy noted what appeared to be a device with wires protruding from it on his chest" The man htiled to stop at'ter the troops tired two warning shots, so they tired on him, said Capt. Andre Salloum. <m lSAF spokesman in Kandahar. The troops subse4uentl y searched the man <md found that "he had twine, stmps and other materials protruding from his jacket, which resembled wires, but there were no explosives," the ISAF statement said. "Any lo~s of life is a tragic affair: however, ISAF forces take every step necessary to protect themselves when con- · fronted with threats or suspicious behavior." Salloum said. WASHINGTON - The fmt major change' to food inspection in a decade Will increase federal scrutmy of meat and poultry plants where the danger from E. coli and other germs is high or where past visits have found un,ate praCtices. . . 'The new policy w1U result m fewer inspections at plants with lower risks and better records for handling meat and poultry. "We're just putting resources where the risk is greatest, and those plants that demonslf"dte excellent control will get less of our resources." said Richard Raymond. the Agriculture Department's top food safety official. To decide the level of scrutiny a plant should get. the "riskbased" system will consider the. type of product <md the plant's record of food safety violations. Aplant that makes hamburger and has repeated violations would get more inspection. A plant that makes cooked. canned ham and ha' a dean track record would gel less scrutiny. '"There are certain t!xlli products that carry a higher inherent risk than others," Raymond, the undersecretary for I(JOd safety, said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Especially for some senior citizens, the thought of exercise may seem impossible considering their physical limitations. With arthritis and other aches and pains, some would ftankly rather stay seated. Well, that is exactly what some seniors are doing and let me assure you they are having a great time. Did you know an exercise exists that promotes good cardiovascular health, enhances muscle tone and muscle endurance and reduces stress while seated in a chair? It is called chair volleyball and many O'Bleness Memorial Hospital's SeniorBEAT members are thrilled about the game. O'Bieness' SeniorBEAT chair volleyball group meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30 am. in the University Mall for a healthy start to the day. While they are playing, however, they are having so much fun that it is hard to even consider it exercise. 'The rules are simple. Keep a beach ball in play over a net while seated using the same basic rules as traditional volleybalL While the game requires very little skill to get staried. it is not hard to notice the results through re~ular play. 'When 1 tell someone who hasn't heard of chair volleyball that I am playing for exercise, their first reaction is 'how do you get exercise from sitting in a chair?' I always answer 'a lot!"' SeniorBEAT chair volleyball player Barbara Balch exclaims. You may be surprised how many health benefits chair volleyball offers. It is endorsed by Mitchell J. Silver, DO, cardiologist with MidOhio Cardiology and VascuJar ConsuJtants and director of O'Bleness' cardiac and vascular catheterization Jaboratory, as a means of promoting senior cardiovascular health. "Seated upper body exercise is sometimes easier for senior citizens who bave difficuJty walking or balancing themselves. It provides great cardiovascular fitness, similar to walking and/or bicycling," Silver explains.

There is a hefty chunk of symbolism to ponder here. beginning with the staggering concept that a recruitment effon on behalf of the U.S. Border Patrol can be considered "controversiar· by any American organization. More alarming still is that the organization here is professional football, hobbyhorse to redmeat America, the kind of people - the k.ind of men - who are stereotypically supposed to have retained their atavistic reflexes when it comes to defending hearth and home. The Border Patrol ad in question lists an agent 's prospective duties in protectmg that la~t line of detense for the United States - our border. By any measure. ihis is an affirmative mission that should have a salutary eflect on any civilization with even halfway healthy retlexes. The first duty listed in the ad is to "prevent the entry of terrorist$ and their weapons into the United States." Next, to "help detect and prevent the unlawful entry of undocumented aliens ... and apprehend violators of our immigration laws ." And linully. to "play a role in stopping drug smuggling ' along our borders." Thi s is controversial'' The answer is yes, if the NFL is talking. As NFL spokesman Greg Aiello put it to The Wa, hington Times, ''The ad that the depanment submitted was srccitic to Border ~atrol. and it mentioned terrorism. We were not comfortable with that." Tsk. tsk. Isn't that just too bad. But is the NFL really saying it isn't "comfortable" with supporting government efforts to prevent terrorism at the border' Aiello went on. "The borders, the immigration debate is u very controversial issue, and we were sensitive to any per~ cption 1\'l' were injecting ourselves into that." The key phrase here is sensitive to ·'any perception." It becomes clear that the NFL is not focused on the American perception. The fact is. the ad wasn't "injecting" anything into the immigration debate. The ad's substance concerned not, for example, the pros and cons of ·•guest worker" prognuns, but defending the border and upholding the law. And who could be "sensitive" about thai'? All I can think of, besides terrorists and drug smugglers, is illegal aliens and their families back home. Considering that the NFL hopes to add a Mexican franchise to its roster, maybe Mexico is where the NFL thinks discomfort and sensitivity over "the bor-. ders" come from . Which isn 't exactly going to win a trophy for being aile American. But maybe there's more than a supranational business deci sion to consider. The NFL has revealed something new about the state of the border in the popular imagination. Even as one large constituency of the country wants to mark our southern border with a fence, making it more tangible, another wants to make the border more elastic, making it less meaningful, even less defensible. This political struggle has had the effect of making the border itself controver" sial. a dev~lopment the NFL was somehow mindful of in its decision to rebuff the border agency. Next question: When a nation's border becomes controversial, how long does its sovere ignty last? And what happens to the civilization? All of which is precisely why future historians of American decline shouldn't overlook "' hat didn't happen at Super Bowl XLI. (Diww West is a columnist for The Washington n-s.

ANNA NICOL{; SMlT"'s BABY IS NOT MIN£;! ) -· -= Several Ohio districts searching for new superintendents CLEVELAND (AP) More than two dozen school districts around the state are searching for new superintendents for next year, leaving recruiting consultants striving to fill an unusually large number of spots. The Ohio School Boards Association is conducting more than. three times the number of searches it was at this time last year. It's the most the association has seen in 20 years, said Kathleen LaSota, deputy director of board development and search services. Most of the superintendents leaving their posts this summer are retiring rather than taking new jobs, officials said. At least 25 public school districts out of 612 already are looking, and more are expected to begin as the year goes on. Sometimes, choosing one superintendent creates an opening in another district. "With state mandates and the constant battle for fundin~. it's a high-pressure job," sa1d LaSota. who's working with several districts, including Rocky River in suburban Cleveland. She said she has 14 candidates for that job so far. Many superintendents delayed their retirement following a change to educators' pension benefit formula five years ago, said Paul Pendleton of the search firm Finding Leaders. The new tormula increased the payout . for an additional five years of service. An educator now can get 88.5 percent of his or her tinal average salary for retirement after 35 years on the job. said Laura· Ecklar of the Ohio State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio. But Ecklar cautioned that the apparent spike in superintendents leaving could be ·an aberration because many educators need to work longer to cover higher living costs. Searching for a superintendent usually takes around three months. The school boards association charges about $8,000 for its help, while private flnns usually receive $10,000 to $50,000. In northeast Ohio, Lorain plans to spend $16.000 with a national firm. while Westlake has budgeted $7,500. Cleveland ~ pent about $100.000 last year while searching for new Chief Executive Eugene Sanders, but the cost was covered by private foundations. In Fairfield. nonh of Cincinnati, the school board on Friday opted to go with a Butler County educationul services organization, whichis charging $2,000, instead of the state group. which quoted a $9,000 price, for the search to replace retiring Superintendentn Roben Farrell. Mark Morris, board .president, said the search leader knows the community, but the board will have to shoulder a lot of the work. "I don't think we can off load this on someone else," he said. · "I just hope the board realizes the intensity." Searches generally extend to candidates nationwide, but school boards seem to gravitate to candidates from Ohio because members believe they will know state laws and standards, said Rob Delane of the school boards association. Maynard Bauer of Finding Leaders said his firm is discovering it must actively recruit candidates, even for prime openings. "There is not a huge crowd of candidates out there," he said.

The committee. which basically served as the jury in a closed-door trial, found Schmeling guilty of break ing the denomination's rules for having a same-sex relationship. However. the committee also called those rules "at least bad policy," and recommended changing them. which the ELCA could consider at its bicnnal meeting. St. Jphn's - a congregution that gathers in a 1914 Tudor-style manorin one of Atlanta's historic, mansionlined neijlhborhoods now finds nself in the middle of a ~ampaign to allow sexually active gays to be pastors in the largest Lutheran denomination in the U.S. "It hasn't been a problem to explain Brad or his relationship to our children as much as what the church wants to do," said Fox, a married father of a 10-yearold boy and an 8-year-old girl. The ELCA, which has 4.\1 million members. allows openly gay clergy, but only tf they are celibate. Still. many Lutheran churches suppon ordaining partnered gays and perform same-sex blessing ceremonies despite the policy. The same debate over how biblical verses on gay relationships should be interpreted is tearing at many mainline Protestant groups. Schmeling told both his bishop and congregation about his sexual orientation before he was chosen pastor in 2000; at the time he was not in a relationship. Last year. when Schmeling told Bi shop Ronald Warren of the Southe<tstern Synod that he had found a lifelong partner. Warren asked the 44year-old pastor to resign. Schmeling refused and Warren started disciplinary pnx:eedings. Much like a trial, a closed-door disciplinary hearing committee of 12 ELCA members, both lay and clergy. heard evidence for nearly week in January. Seven of them felt the rule as stated left them no choice but to defrock Schmelinu. But the committee al,;-o wrot9-lhat. if not bound by the church 's rules, they "would lind almost unanimously that Pastor Schmeling is not engaged in conduct that is incompatible with the ministerial ot1ice" and would order no discipline. Further, the committee the· ELC A suggested remove its rule and reinstate gay clergy who were removed or resigned hecause they were in a same-sex "lifelong partnership ." At the ELCA's last national meeting in 2005, a proposal to allow synods to dectde if they .would accept a pastor in a same-sex relationship failed after getting nearly half the I ,000 votes, shon of the required two- . thirds majority.

Its members voted for the national resolution in 2005. "What we like to believe is that it's up to us to find ways to utilize the gifts of all people." Bishop Craig E. Johnson said.

CLEVELAND (AP) Doctors are voicing concern about a proposed plan that would combine nearly two dozen clinical practices at Case Western Reserve University's medical school and an affiliated hospital. Administrators at the school and University Hospitals Case Medical Center drew up the plan and claim it will encourage collaboration and make it easier to recruit physicians seeking to join clinical and academic posts. Under the two-year contract, about two dozen faculty members who join the group lose tuition benetits they had under previous deals. If they don't sign on. they will no longer have admitting privileges at lJniversity Hospitals, nonheast Ohio's second-largest health system Only about 200 of the 750 affected physicians have signed the contract. "One of the concerning aspects, at least from our organization's standpoint, is that then: was a lack of transparency about the whole thing," said Mark Smith, a molecular biologist at Case and pieSident of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors. Smith is not affected by the decision because he is not a . physician. but he said many faculty members were caught off guard when the new contracts arrived unannounced in December with only a JO.day window to sign. That deadline has since been extended. Combining the practices is beneficial for University Hospitals because it will bring physicians with different specialties closer together and allow the hospitals to be more competitive with health insurers, said Catherine Keating, UH's senior vice president of medicaVsurgical services. great boost to them.

Campaign funds spent on football tickets. lapel pins, car washes COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio State football tickets, state logo lapel pins. club memberships and frequent car washes were among some of the more unusual campaign expenditures by state candidates, a newspaper analysis found. Ohio lawmakers and statewide officeholders used campaign cash to liuy $45,000 worth of Buckeyes tickets, according to a review of $70 million worth of campaign spending published Sunday by The Columbus Dispatch. Another $67,000 went to dues -or memberships in athletic clubs and professional groups. State Sen. Steve Stivers, a Columbus Republican, spent $9,000 bn more than two dozen memberships. The newspaper looked at the spendin~ following recent revelatiOns that former Ohio Congressman Bob Ney, sentenced to prison last month in a corru£tion scandal, paid his wtfe $6,800 from his campaign fund after the Republican decided not to run for re-election . Earlier this month, it was reported that fonner Ohio Treasurer Jennette Bradley paid her husband's busmess $51,300 in campaign consulting fees months after she lost her bid for re-election. Bradley told the newspaper it was a late payment, and a bargain at that. for 18 months of work coordinating her campaign. "There was no sense of urgency," to pay him sooner, she said. "He knew where to find me." New Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, paid her bus- band Rick 's law firm $48,000 in rent for his law office and pay to employees who worked on the campaign. State law says politicians can't use campaign money for personal use but is not specific about whom camraigns may hire. "I my wife is my campaign manager and I want to pay her to run my campaign. I can do that, but it's going to raise questions about propriety," said Philip Richter, director of Ohio Elections the Commission. Among some quirky expenses the newspaper highlighted: • $3,462 for mosquito fogging from unsuccessfu I GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell. • $200 in limo rentals, and several car washes costing $10 or less, for Marc Dann, the Democrat who won election as attorney general. • $2,131 for lapel pins inscribed with Ohio's state motto for Betty Montgomery, the Republican who lost to Dann. • $62 to rent a bear costume and $40 to p'ay someone to wear it for House candidate Connie Crockett. The Dispatch also found some lax reporting, with $155,000 designated in campaign finance rer.ons as simply "expenses' or "reimbursement" and another $30,000 with no purpose recorded at all.

One potential source of help may be llavanols, an antioxidant found in cocoa beans that can increase blood llow to the brain, researchers said Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Ian MacDonald of England's University of Nottingham reponed on tests given to young women who were asked to do a complex task while their brains were being studied with magnetic resonance imaging. Among the women given drinks of cocoa high in flavanols, there was a significant increase in blood flow to the brain compared with subjects who did not drink the cocoa, he said. This raises the prospect of using flavanols in the treatment of dementia, marked by decreased blood flow in the brain, and in maintaining overall cardiovascular health, he said. The next step, MacDonald said, is to move from healthy subjects to people who have "compromised' blood flow to the brain. Norman Hollenberg . of Harvard Medical School said he fOund similar health benefits in the Cuna Indian tribe in Panama. They drink cocoa exclusively. But the cocoa typically sold in markets is low in tlavanols. which usually are removed because they impan a bitter taste, Hollenberg said. He also said the findings do not mean people should indulge in chocolate. "Chocolate is a delight. It can never be a health food because we have a calorie problem," Hollenberg said. But, he added, in cocoa a lot of fat is removed from the chocolate ...., see a bright future for cocoa:· he said. Hollenberg, an expert in blood pressure. studied the Cuna because those who live on native islands do not have high blood pressure. He said he found that when tribe members move to cities, their blood pressure rises. A major difference is the consumption of their own prepared cocoa, which is high in flavanols. In native areas, that is all they drink; in cities they adopt the local diet. In addition to having low blood pressure. Hollenberg said. there are no repons of dementia among the native Cuna. Henrielle van Praag of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies discussed the effects of a specific flavanol. EI?ichatechin, in tests in rruce. She said when that chemical was added to their food, the mice showed improved ability to solve a maze and remembered it longer than mice without the flavanol. She said Epichatechin affected the hippocampus, the brain area important in memory. almost twice as many teams as last year.

There is a hefty chunk of symbolism to ponder here. beginning with the staggering concept that a recruitment effon on behalf of the U.S. Border Patrol can be considered "controversiar· by any American organization. More alarming still is that the organization here is professional football, hobbyhorse to redmeat America, the kind of people - the k.ind of men - who are stereotypically supposed to have retained their atavistic reflexes when it comes to defending hearth and home. The Border Patrol ad in question lists an agent 's prospective duties in protectmg that la~t line of detense for the United States - our border. By any measure. ihis is an affirmative mission that should have a salutary eflect on any civilization with even halfway healthy retlexes. The first duty listed in the ad is to "prevent the entry of terrorist$ and their weapons into the United States." Next, to "help detect and prevent the unlawful entry of undocumented aliens ... and apprehend violators of our immigration laws ." And linully. to "play a role in stopping drug smuggling ' along our borders." Thi s is controversial'' The answer is yes, if the NFL is talking. As NFL spokesman Greg Aiello put it to The Wa, hington Times, ''The ad that the depanment submitted was srccitic to Border ~atrol. and it mentioned terrorism. We were not comfortable with that." Tsk. tsk. Isn't that just too bad. But is the NFL really saying it isn't "comfortable" with supporting government efforts to prevent terrorism at the border' Aiello went on. "The borders, the immigration debate is u very controversial issue, and we were sensitive to any per~ cption 1\'l' were injecting ourselves into that." The key phrase here is sensitive to ·'any perception." It becomes clear that the NFL is not focused on the American perception. The fact is. the ad wasn't "injecting" anything into the immigration debate. The ad's substance concerned not, for example, the pros and cons of ·•guest worker" prognuns, but defending the border and upholding the law. And who could be "sensitive" about thai'? All I can think of, besides terrorists and drug smugglers, is illegal aliens and their families back home. Considering that the NFL hopes to add a Mexican franchise to its roster, maybe Mexico is where the NFL thinks discomfort and sensitivity over "the bor-. ders" come from . Which isn 't exactly going to win a trophy for being aile American. But maybe there's more than a supranational business deci sion to consider. The NFL has revealed something new about the state of the border in the popular imagination. Even as one large constituency of the country wants to mark our southern border with a fence, making it more tangible, another wants to make the border more elastic, making it less meaningful, even less defensible. This political struggle has had the effect of making the border itself controver" sial. a dev~lopment the NFL was somehow mindful of in its decision to rebuff the border agency. Next question: When a nation's border becomes controversial, how long does its sovere ignty last? And what happens to the civilization? All of which is precisely why future historians of American decline shouldn't overlook "' hat didn't happen at Super Bowl XLI. (Diww West is a columnist for The Washington n-s.

ANNA NICOL{; SMlT"'s BABY IS NOT MIN£;! ) -· -= Several Ohio districts searching for new superintendents CLEVELAND (AP) More than two dozen school districts around the state are searching for new superintendents for next year, leaving recruiting consultants striving to fill an unusually large number of spots. The Ohio School Boards Association is conducting more than. three times the number of searches it was at this time last year. It's the most the association has seen in 20 years, said Kathleen LaSota, deputy director of board development and search services. Most of the superintendents leaving their posts this summer are retiring rather than taking new jobs, officials said. At least 25 public school districts out of 612 already are looking, and more are expected to begin as the year goes on. Sometimes, choosing one superintendent creates an opening in another district. "With state mandates and the constant battle for fundin~. it's a high-pressure job," sa1d LaSota. who's working with several districts, including Rocky River in suburban Cleveland. She said she has 14 candidates for that job so far. Many superintendents delayed their retirement following a change to educators' pension benefit formula five years ago, said Paul Pendleton of the search firm Finding Leaders. The new tormula increased the payout . for an additional five years of service. An educator now can get 88.5 percent of his or her tinal average salary for retirement after 35 years on the job. said Laura· Ecklar of the Ohio State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio. But Ecklar cautioned that the apparent spike in superintendents leaving could be ·an aberration because many educators need to work longer to cover higher living costs. Searching for a superintendent usually takes around three months. The school boards association charges about $8,000 for its help, while private flnns usually receive $10,000 to $50,000. In northeast Ohio, Lorain plans to spend $16.000 with a national firm. while Westlake has budgeted $7,500. Cleveland ~ pent about $100.000 last year while searching for new Chief Executive Eugene Sanders, but the cost was covered by private foundations. In Fairfield. nonh of Cincinnati, the school board on Friday opted to go with a Butler County educationul services organization, whichis charging $2,000, instead of the state group. which quoted a $9,000 price, for the search to replace retiring Superintendentn Roben Farrell. Mark Morris, board .president, said the search leader knows the community, but the board will have to shoulder a lot of the work. "I don't think we can off load this on someone else," he said. · "I just hope the board realizes the intensity." Searches generally extend to candidates nationwide, but school boards seem to gravitate to candidates from Ohio because members believe they will know state laws and standards, said Rob Delane of the school boards association. Maynard Bauer of Finding Leaders said his firm is discovering it must actively recruit candidates, even for prime openings. "There is not a huge crowd of candidates out there," he said.

The committee. which basically served as the jury in a closed-door trial, found Schmeling guilty of break ing the denomination's rules for having a same-sex relationship. However. the committee also called those rules "at least bad policy," and recommended changing them. which the ELCA could consider at its bicnnal meeting.

The ELCA, which has 4.\1 million members. allows openly gay clergy, but only tf they are celibate. Still. many Lutheran churches suppon ordaining partnered gays and perform same-sex blessing ceremonies despite the policy. The same debate over how biblical verses on gay relationships should be interpreted is tearing at many mainline Protestant groups. Schmeling told both his bishop and congregation about his sexual orientation before he was chosen pastor in 2000; at the time he was not in a relationship. Last year. when Schmeling told Bi shop Ronald Warren of the Southe<tstern Synod that he had found a lifelong partner. Warren asked the 44year-old pastor to resign. Schmeling refused and Warren started disciplinary pnx:eedings. Much like a trial, a closed-door disciplinary hearing committee of 12 ELCA members, both lay and clergy. heard evidence for nearly week in January. Seven of them felt the rule as stated left them no choice but to defrock Schmelinu. But the committee al,;-o wrot9-lhat. if not bound by the church 's rules, they "would lind almost unanimously that Pastor Schmeling is not engaged in conduct that is incompatible with the ministerial ot1ice" and would order no discipline. Further, the committee the· ELC A suggested remove its rule and reinstate gay clergy who were removed or resigned hecause they were in a same-sex "lifelong partnership ." At the ELCA's last national meeting in 2005, a proposal to allow synods to dectde if they .would accept a pastor in a same-sex relationship failed after getting nearly half the I ,000 votes, shon of the required two- . thirds majority.

"The biggest thing is for us to just be St. John's, and then the ELCA decides what it wants to be," church member John Ballew said alkr Sunday's service.

CLEVELAND (AP) Doctors are voicing concern about a proposed plan that would combine nearly two dozen clinical practices at Case Western Reserve University's medical school and an affiliated hospital. Administrators at the school and University Hospitals Case Medical Center drew up the plan and claim it will encourage collaboration and make it easier to recruit physicians seeking to join clinical and academic posts. Under the two-year contract, about two dozen faculty members who join the group lose tuition benetits they had under previous deals. If they don't sign on. they will no longer have admitting privileges at lJniversity Hospitals, nonheast Ohio's second-largest health system Only about 200 of the 750 affected physicians have signed the contract. "One of the concerning aspects, at least from our organization's standpoint, is that then: was a lack of transparency about the whole thing," said Mark Smith, a molecular biologist at Case and pieSident of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors. Smith is not affected by the decision because he is not a . physician. but he said many faculty members were caught off guard when the new contracts arrived unannounced in December with only a JO.day window to sign. That deadline has since been extended. Combining the practices is beneficial for University Hospitals because it will bring physicians with different specialties closer together and allow the hospitals to be more competitive with health insurers, said Catherine Keating, UH's senior vice president of medicaVsurgical services. great boost to them.

Campaign funds spent on football tickets. lapel pins, car washes COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio State football tickets, state logo lapel pins. club memberships and frequent car washes were among some of the more unusual campaign expenditures by state candidates, a newspaper analysis found. Ohio lawmakers and statewide officeholders used campaign cash to liuy $45,000 worth of Buckeyes tickets, according to a review of $70 million worth of campaign spending published Sunday by The Columbus Dispatch. Another $67,000 went to dues -or memberships in athletic clubs and professional groups. State Sen. Steve Stivers, a Columbus Republican, spent $9,000 bn more than two dozen memberships. The newspaper looked at the spendin~ following recent revelatiOns that former Ohio Congressman Bob Ney, sentenced to prison last month in a corru£tion scandal, paid his wtfe $6,800 from his campaign fund after the Republican decided not to run for re-election . Earlier this month, it was reported that fonner Ohio Treasurer Jennette Bradley paid her husband's busmess $51,300 in campaign consulting fees months after she lost her bid for re-election. Bradley told the newspaper it was a late payment, and a bargain at that. for 18 months of work coordinating her campaign. "There was no sense of urgency," to pay him sooner, she said. "He knew where to find me." New Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, paid her bus- band Rick 's law firm $48,000 in rent for his law office and pay to employees who worked on the campaign. State law says politicians can't use campaign money for personal use but is not specific about whom camraigns may hire. "I my wife is my campaign manager and I want to pay her to run my campaign. I can do that, but it's going to raise questions about propriety," said Philip Richter, director of Ohio Elections the Commission. Among some quirky expenses the newspaper highlighted: • $3,462 for mosquito fogging from unsuccessfu I GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell. • $200 in limo rentals, and several car washes costing $10 or less, for Marc Dann, the Democrat who won election as attorney general. • $2,131 for lapel pins inscribed with Ohio's state motto for Betty Montgomery, the Republican who lost to Dann. • $62 to rent a bear costume and $40 to p'ay someone to wear it for House candidate Connie Crockett. The Dispatch also found some lax reporting, with $155,000 designated in campaign finance rer.ons as simply "expenses' or "reimbursement" and another $30,000 with no purpose recorded at all.

Among the women given drinks of cocoa high in flavanols, there was a significant increase in blood flow to the brain compared with subjects who did not drink the cocoa, he said. This raises the prospect of using flavanols in the treatment of dementia, marked by decreased blood flow in the brain, and in maintaining overall cardiovascular health, he said. The next step, MacDonald said, is to move from healthy subjects to people who have "compromised' blood flow to the brain. Norman Hollenberg . of Harvard Medical School said he fOund similar health benefits in the Cuna Indian tribe in Panama. They drink cocoa exclusively. But the cocoa typically sold in markets is low in tlavanols. which usually are removed because they impan a bitter taste, Hollenberg said. He also said the findings do not mean people should indulge in chocolate. "Chocolate is a delight. It can never be a health food because we have a calorie problem," Hollenberg said. But, he added, in cocoa a lot of fat is removed from the chocolate ...., see a bright future for cocoa:· he said. Hollenberg, an expert in blood pressure. studied the Cuna because those who live on native islands do not have high blood pressure. He said he found that when tribe members move to cities, their blood pressure rises. A major difference is the consumption of their own prepared cocoa, which is high in flavanols. In native areas, that is all they drink; in cities they adopt the local diet. In addition to having low blood pressure. Hollenberg said. there are no repons of dementia among the native Cuna. Henrielle van Praag of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies discussed the effects of a specific flavanol. EI?ichatechin, in tests in rruce. She said when that chemical was added to their food, the mice showed improved ability to solve a maze and remembered it longer than mice without the flavanol. She said Epichatechin affected the hippocampus, the brain area important in memory. almost twice as many teams as last year.

COLUMBUS Lobbyi sts for phone companies and industries that are the largest electricity users are front-runners to serve on ~ and perhaps one day chair- the panel that. polices Ohio's gas, electric and phone compames. Upcoming appointments under new Gov. Ted Strickland have advocates for residential customers worried about the future of rates and service. Critics had hoped that Strickland, the first Democratic governor in 16 years, would change the direction of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, which some have viewed as too cozy with - and easy on - utility giants like FirstEnergy Corp., American Electric Power and AT&T. "He should start over from scratch," said Sandy Buchanan, executive director of Ohio Citize"n Action, a nonprofit consumer and voter advocacy group. The commission's decisions ori natural gas, electric and telephone service affect reliabtlity and how much customers PIIY each month on their bills. Utility interests are heavily represented on a panel that nominates candidates the governor chooses from to fill the PUCO's open seat. Already the governor has signaled that he will not initially bump Alan Schriber from the commission's chairmanship. Consumer groups say· that under Schriber, the PUCO has sided too often with the utilities, especially on phone and electric cases. Schriber denies it, pointing to the stability of rates during his etght years as chairman. Strickl?nd, who gets four appointments to the five-member commission in his first term, says the selections "will be a reflection of my judgment and values." For the first opening, the nominating council sent him the names of two industry lobbyists, the PUCO's legal dtrector and. an energy consultant. The governor is not tipping his hand, but said the choice will be "someone who has a high degree of common sense, who is not ideologically driven but who is capable of understanding complex data and who is concerned about the consumer." Industry insiders say the front-runner is Charles Moses, president of the Ohio Telecom Association and a former official in the administration of Ohio's last Democratic governor, A Richard Celeste. Strickland campaign backer, Moses is the only one of the four finalists who applied when the nominating committee reopened the application process at Strickland's quest. Also in the running is retchen Hummel, a lobbyist who represents Industrial Energy UsersOhio ,and Vectren Corp., a natural gas company based in Evansville, Ind. She formerly was legal director for the Ohio Consumers' Counsel, the state's watchdog for residential customers. Consumer groups have been unhappy with the lack of progress in trying to lower the price of electricity, which regulators promised two years ago, and with recent commission decisions lessening the penalties phone companies pay for failing to quickly fix outages. Strickland said Citizen Action has every right to complain, but he played down their concerns. "It's unfortunate when judgments are made about people based on superficial factors . I think indi, viduals should be judged on the totality of their life and work," he.said . Schriber said he too is frustrated by the delay in getting competition to the marketplace, but rate increases in Ohio have been lower than in surrounding states. Competition was supposed to begin - and drive rates down - in 2005, but power suppliers have been reluctant to enter Ohio because they cannot significantly beat incumbent utilities' rates. Northern Ohio customers of Akron-based FirstEnergy, who have some of the highest electric bills in the nation, would see little difference from a new supplier because only the sale of electricity itself is open to competition. A major pnrt of a FirstEnergy bill goes to the cost of two nuclear power plants. Schriber hopes discus" sions can begin and the parties can avoid the divi~ sions that resulted from the 1999 bill that was supc posed to open the power market. "I think whether it's leg ~ islation or what, we're going to have to be adjusting electricity," Schriber said.

Upper Arlington already has 30 buses that release fewer emissions by using soy-based diesel and a policy limiting the time buses idle, director of transportation Joe Herchko said. Also, newer buses will be virtually pollutant free, Herchko said, but districts nee~d to prepare for those buses to cost about $35,000 more. Hilliard schools also opted not to participate but bought six new, cleaner buses, which run on low-sulfur fuel that generally costs about 25 cents more per gallon than regular diesel. COLUMBUS Lobbyi sts for phone companies and industries that are the largest electricity users are front-runners to serve on ~ and perhaps one day chair- the panel that. polices Ohio's gas, electric and phone compames. Upcoming appointments under new Gov. Ted Strickland have advocates for residential customers worried about the future of rates and service. Critics had hoped that Strickland, the first Democratic governor in 16 years, would change the direction of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, which some have viewed as too cozy with - and easy on - utility giants like FirstEnergy Corp., American Electric Power and AT&T. "He should start over from scratch," said Sandy Buchanan, executive director of Ohio Citize"n Action, a nonprofit consumer and voter advocacy group. The commission's decisions ori natural gas, electric and telephone service affect reliabtlity and how much customers PIIY each month on their bills. Utility interests are heavily represented on a panel that nominates candidates the governor chooses from to fill the PUCO's open seat. Already the governor has signaled that he will not initially bump Alan Schriber from the commission's chairmanship. Consumer groups say· that under Schriber, the PUCO has sided too often with the utilities, especially on phone and electric cases. Schriber denies it, pointing to the stability of rates during his etght years as chairman. Strickl?nd, who gets four appointments to the five-member commission in his first term, says the selections "will be a reflection of my judgment and values." For the first opening, the nominating council sent him the names of two industry lobbyists, the PUCO's legal dtrector and. an energy consultant. The governor is not tipping his hand, but said the choice will be "someone who has a high degree of common sense, who is not ideologically driven but who is capable of understanding complex data and who is concerned about the consumer." Industry insiders say the front-runner is Charles Moses, president of the Ohio Telecom Association and a former official in the administration of Ohio's last Democratic governor, A Richard Celeste. Strickland campaign backer, Moses is the only one of the four finalists who applied when the nominating committee reopened the application process at Strickland's quest. Also in the running is retchen Hummel, a lobbyist who represents Industrial Energy UsersOhio ,and Vectren Corp., a natural gas company based in Evansville, Ind. She formerly was legal director for the Ohio Consumers' Counsel, the state's watchdog for residential customers. Consumer groups have been unhappy with the lack of progress in trying to lower the price of electricity, which regulators promised two years ago, and with recent commission decisions lessening the penalties phone companies pay for failing to quickly fix outages. Strickland said Citizen Action has every right to complain, but he played down their concerns. "It's unfortunate when judgments are made about people based on superficial factors . I think indi, viduals should be judged on the totality of their life and work," he.said . Schriber said he too is frustrated by the delay in getting competition to the marketplace, but rate increases in Ohio have been lower than in surrounding states. Competition was supposed to begin - and drive rates down - in 2005, but power suppliers have been reluctant to enter Ohio because they cannot significantly beat incumbent utilities' rates. Northern Ohio customers of Akron-based FirstEnergy, who have some of the highest electric bills in the nation, would see little difference from a new supplier because only the sale of electricity itself is open to competition. A major pnrt of a FirstEnergy bill goes to the cost of two nuclear power plants. Schriber hopes discus" sions can begin and the parties can avoid the divi~ sions that resulted from the 1999 bill that was supc posed to open the power market. "I think whether it's leg ~ islation or what, we're going to have to be adjusting electricity," Schriber said.

That summarized Saturday for the Meigs basketball team after a 47-37 setback in the Division II girls sectional semitinal against Fairfield Union at Alexander High School.

However, the fifth-seeded Lady Falcons- who shot just 25 percent in the second half and 36 percent overall - found a small rhythm down the stretch. going on an 8-0 run over the final 3:32 to secure a berth in Monday's sectional final. The Maroon and Gold managed eight more shots and one more make. four less turnovers and were only minus-one (9-8) on the offensive glass against a much bigger lineup from HJHS. Still, a 1-tor-12 performance from three-point tenitory and only two free throw attempts- both successful were not enough to offset a 14-of-21 effort by the Black, White and Red at the charity stripe. Fairtield Union also won the battle on the boards overall, 35-25. Going against a much taller team that planned on using its stze and physicality to its advantage, MHS coach Carl Wolfe advised his smaller club to speed things up, take a lot of shots .and limit the opponent's second chances. · The Lady Marauders did all of that. and they put themselves in a position to win late.

A second period Tornado lull and ensuing 13-0 Wateoford run before halliime may well have been the difference in the game. That one lapse directly undennined a Southern victory in what was Sou them "s most consistently well-played game of the year. a 72-fi7 overtime loss to the Wateoford Wildcats Saturday night in a boys varsity basketball makeup contest m Hayman gymnasmm. Learning fundamentals, how to get open. and learning how to shoot proper! y at a young age is the key to varsity success. Southern has struggled from the field all season long, but Saturdav pulled off a respectable 2'1-12 from the field for 40 percent. Still, a 4of-11 foul shooting drought remained, and quite p0ssibly Cost Southern a pmnt that could have won the game. Both clubs were pumped for the Satwday make-up contest - Southern coming off a win at Trimble and Wateoford Fends "from Page Bl Wolfe commented. "I don't know what else you can ask of them." Early on, Meigs literally struggled with the tall task that was FUHS. The Lady Falcons went 7-of-14 from the field in the opening eight minutes and led by doubledigits ( 16-6) anhc 1: Ifi mark. MHS, on the other hand. connected on just 3-of-13 shot attempts and trailed 16-8 at the end of the first. Then in the second stanza. the hosts went 6-of-13 from the tleld and trimmed the detlcit down to tive points on three separate occasions. . The Lady Falcons - who · connected on ust 4-of-11 attempts - hel MHS scoreless over the fina1 2: 19 for a 28-20 intermissio·n advantage. FUHS held an 18-1 2 rebounding edge at the break, including 6-3 on the offensive glass. The guests were al so 6-ot~ II at the foul line, while Meigs was perfect on a pair in the first quarter. After Brittany Preast scored the opening basket of the second half at 7:27. MHS went scoreless over the next 4:4 1 of the third. Fairtield Union made the most of that stretch, going on -an 8-0 run over the next 4:2 1 to tum a slim six-point edge into a comfonable 36-22 advantage. J. coming off a near-upset of dominating league champion Federal Hocking, 55-51. Southern maintained the lead early behind an insideoutside punch from seniors Jacob Humer and Darin Teaford. Wes Riffle added three points, but his main asset was a brilliant display of good. threading-the-needle passing to teammates inside. Southern led 12-10 after round one. Southern built up its biggest lead in the second period, an 11 - 16 advantage on two Riffle-to-Teaford connections. and key inside drivers from Corbin Sellers and Patrick Johnson. Southern led 24-21, but had trouble finding the three-point shooter. Coach Richard Stephens. who was overall pleased with his club's performance, did everything but dress the Wildcat shooters in blaze onmge. Still, Southern went out-of-sync, did not identify the shooter, and stood stunned in a 13-0 run to end the second half. Waterford's Gary Tomes had 14 of his 20 pomts in the frame with two three-pointers, while Derek Hoge and Alex Lang added tri·fectas. MHS suddenly caught fire at the 2:46 mark as Meghan Clelland drilled the team's only trifecta, sparking a 9-1 run over the rest of the period to enter the founh down 3731. The Lady Marauders held the guests without a field goal over the linal6:07 of the third and also forced seven turnovers in that period. At the 7:23 mark of the founh, the hosts pulled to within four when Cayla Lee drilled a short jumper. FUHS responded with their tirst field goal in 7:49. as Sam Boch htt a layup at 6: 18 to pull back out in front by a 39-33 score. · Meigs reeled off four straight points over the next I :37 to pull within a possession. but never got closer. After back-to-back field goals by Jess Anderson. the Lady Falcons hit four consecutive free throws in the last minute to ice the decision. The loss al~.o ended the careers of five Lady · Marauders - Clelland. Lee. Amber Burton, Whitney Smith and Jennifer Smith. Wolfe was proud of their eftons and leadership toward the basketball program. But more importantly, as people. "Those kids have really worked hard in their two years with me. And better yet, they are just great kids and model students," Wolfe said. '" I can't say enough about them and I wish them the best. They are certainly going to be m1ssed." Of those upperclassmen, Southern tntiled 33-24 at the half. Waterford held its biggest lead at the end of the third quaner. 53-40. and the Southern crowd was silenced. hi the final round. Southern rolled a snowball of momentum tn a 56-51 tally at the 4:41 mark. Each time Southern mllied Watertilrd countered (5851) but a Pat Johnson trey and a pair of Corbin Sellers tn-fectas kept Southern edging closer. Weston Robens and Ryan Chapman played key rules in the non wnh continued good passing from Ritlle. Tnnling 65-64 afier a missed loul shot failed to tie the score. Southern had to foul as time in o:egulation waned. Wateoford hit 1-2. but Southern forced shots that were not of the best choosing. WHS gained the rebound and was foulecf for another 1-2 stint that pushed the score to 67-64 woth ten seconds remai ning. Southern called time to set up a Duke-style spoked setplay that drew the attention of Wateoford players in the corner. Corbin Sellers rolled to the same-side wing off a ![Cat screen. squared up and drill~d Clelland led the way with five points.

A second period Tornado lull and ensuing 13-0 Wateoford run before halliime may well have been the difference in the game. That one lapse directly undennined a Southern victory in what was Sou them "s most consistently well-played game of the year. a 72-fi7 overtime loss to the Wateoford Wildcats Saturday night in a boys varsity basketball makeup contest m Hayman gymnasmm. Learning fundamentals, how to get open. and learning how to shoot proper! y at a young age is the key to varsity success. Southern has struggled from the field all season long, but Saturdav pulled off a respectable 2'1-12 from the field for 40 percent. Still, a 4of-11 foul shooting drought remained, and quite p0ssibly Cost Southern a pmnt that could have won the game. Both clubs were pumped for the Satwday make-up contest - Southern coming off a win at Trimble and Wateoford Fends "from Page Bl Wolfe commented. "I don't know what else you can ask of them." Early on, Meigs literally struggled with the tall task that was FUHS. The Lady Falcons went 7-of-14 from the field in the opening eight minutes and led by doubledigits ( 16-6) anhc 1: Ifi mark. MHS, on the other hand. connected on just 3-of-13 shot attempts and trailed 16-8 at the end of the first. Then in the second stanza. the hosts went 6-of-13 from the tleld and trimmed the detlcit down to tive points on three separate occasions. . The Lady Falcons - who · connected on ust 4-of-11 attempts - hel MHS scoreless over the fina1 2: 19 for a 28-20 intermissio·n advantage. FUHS held an 18-1 2 rebounding edge at the break, including 6-3 on the offensive glass. The guests were al so 6-ot~ II at the foul line, while Meigs was perfect on a pair in the first quarter. After Brittany Preast scored the opening basket of the second half at 7:27. MHS went scoreless over the next 4:4 1 of the third. Fairtield Union made the most of that stretch, going on -an 8-0 run over the next 4:2 1 to tum a slim six-point edge into a comfonable 36-22 advantage. J. coming off a near-upset of dominating league champion Federal Hocking, 55-51. Southern maintained the lead early behind an insideoutside punch from seniors Jacob Humer and Darin Teaford. Wes Riffle added three points, but his main asset was a brilliant display of good. threading-the-needle passing to teammates inside. Southern led 12-10 after round one. Southern built up its biggest lead in the second period, an 11 - 16 advantage on two Riffle-to-Teaford connections. and key inside drivers from Corbin Sellers and Patrick Johnson. Southern led 24-21, but had trouble finding the three-point shooter. Coach Richard Stephens. who was overall pleased with his club's performance, did everything but dress the Wildcat shooters in blaze onmge. Still, Southern went out-of-sync, did not identify the shooter, and stood stunned in a 13-0 run to end the second half. Waterford's Gary Tomes had 14 of his 20 pomts in the frame with two three-pointers, while Derek Hoge and Alex Lang added tri·fectas. MHS suddenly caught fire at the 2:46 mark as Meghan Clelland drilled the team's only trifecta, sparking a 9-1 run over the rest of the period to enter the founh down 3731. The Lady Marauders held the guests without a field goal over the linal6:07 of the third and also forced seven turnovers in that period. At the 7:23 mark of the founh, the hosts pulled to within four when Cayla Lee drilled a short jumper. FUHS responded with their tirst field goal in 7:49. as Sam Boch htt a layup at 6: 18 to pull back out in front by a 39-33 score. · Meigs reeled off four straight points over the next I :37 to pull within a possession. but never got closer. After back-to-back field goals by Jess Anderson. the Lady Falcons hit four consecutive free throws in the last minute to ice the decision. The loss al~.o ended the careers of five Lady · Marauders - Clelland. Lee. Amber Burton, Whitney Smith and Jennifer Smith. Wolfe was proud of their eftons and leadership toward the basketball program. But more importantly, as people. "Those kids have really worked hard in their two years with me. And better yet, they are just great kids and model students," Wolfe said. '" I can't say enough about them and I wish them the best. They are certainly going to be m1ssed." Of those upperclassmen, Southern tntiled 33-24 at the half. Waterford held its biggest lead at the end of the third quaner. 53-40. and the Southern crowd was silenced. hi the final round. Southern rolled a snowball of momentum tn a 56-51 tally at the 4:41 mark. Each time Southern mllied Watertilrd countered (5851) but a Pat Johnson trey and a pair of Corbin Sellers tn-fectas kept Southern edging closer. Weston Robens and Ryan Chapman played key rules in the non wnh continued good passing from Ritlle. Tnnling 65-64 afier a missed loul shot failed to tie the score. Southern had to foul as time in o:egulation waned. Wateoford hit 1-2. but Southern forced shots that were not of the best choosing. WHS gained the rebound and was foulecf for another 1-2 stint that pushed the score to 67-64 woth ten seconds remai ning. Southern called time to set up a Duke-style spoked setplay that drew the attention of Wateoford players in the corner. Corbin Sellers rolled to the same-side wing off a ![Cat screen. squared up and drill~d Clelland led the way with five points. Lee and Burton each had four markers, but neiijler Smith managed to reach the scoring column. Whitney did have a rebound. while Jennifer added a steal. Catie Wolfe led MHS and all scorers with 16 points, and also chipped in game-highs of sox assosts and SIX steals. Preast and Amy Barr. both of whom hauled in a teamhigh six caroms. finished the evening with six and two points. respectively.

As he quickly looked back - and down the road- after the game, he did like what he saw. He also knows there is room for imr,rovement. ' We thought coming in that a .500 season would be a great year for us. We got reallY, close to that:· Wolfe said. 'Our JV team was 15-5. we have good junior high kids coming and I saw all kinds of improvement from our younger varsit y players.

And with the $439,146 check presented to the center Monday on behalf of the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation (OTPF),the center will be able to continue their work. The "Advancing Tobacco Use Prevention in Gallia, Jackson and Meigs Counties" award is a oneyear grant that will allow the center to continue providing tobacco cessation and prevention programs to the Southeastern Ohio region, previously funded by a four year grant of the same name, which ended on Dec. 31 , 2006.
