He has no regrats, however, about his decision not to compete full time tills year. Even after so many runs at cham· pionships, Martin insisted that it does n't bother him to give up one more try. "I'm inc redibly happy with where I am in my life and so happy with the opportunity these guys have given me to do the racing on my terms and my schedule," he said. "I'm living the dream right· now." Martin, 48, has won more Busch Se· ries races (47) than any driver in history. He hasn't competed full-time in that series since 1987 and has never won the championship there, either. Perhaps, though, Marlin said he might one day run for I he Craftsman Truck Series title. "Some day, when I feel like I don't belong or can't be competitive or whatever it might be, when I make the decision thai I don't want to Cup race anymore, maybe I would do the truck thing full-time, " he said. "That's one of the things that's still on the top of my list, but I still have a lot of good Cup racing in me." Contact Monte Dutton at hmdutton50@aol.com ...

NASCAR is abandoning the 22· gallon tank that has been in use for decades. Lower capacity, obviously, means more pit stops during a 500-mile race. "When you pit more often, it can go either way,'' said Casey Mears. "You might start to feel more comfortable and start pu shing the limits because you've done it lO times already, but you've got to hold yourself back and say, 'All right, right here is not where we need to pass 10 guys; we just need to come our where we came in, and if we can pick up a spot or two, great.'

It's h1ghly unlikely that .Biffle wrecked Reutimann intentionally, but neither driver was a\'ailable for comment afterward .· By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week FONTANA, Calif. - Mark Martin, quite famously, has never won a championship. Martin followed up a runner-up finish in the Daytona 500 by finishing fifth in the season's second race at California Speedway. Martin, who plans to compete in only 23 of the cu1·· rent season's 36 races, leads the Nextel Cup poims standings by five over Jeff Burton. After two more races, at Las Vegas and Atlanta, Martin will step aside in favor of 23-year-old Regan Smith when the series visits Bristol, Tenn., on March 25. Martin said he couldn'l be happier with his reduced role. At age 48, he has finished second in the Cup points standings four times. He has no regrets, however, about his decision not to compete full time this year. "There's a lot of pressure off of me to not be racing for these points, al though we are, kind of, because we need to keep the car up in the top 35 in (owner) points ," he said. "At the end of the day, I'm one of the happiest guys in racing. I've got the best job in motors ports righl now." Another big change for Martin is the fact that he is now driving a Chevrolet after spending most of his career driving the No.6 Ford of what is now Roush Fenway Racing. In order to cut back his schedule, Martin moved to Ginn Racing's Army-sponsored No. 01. "It's different remembering what to say and answering questions about it," said Martin, "but at the end of the day, we're racing the heck out of these cars, and for me, that's what it's all about. I had the best shot at the Daytona 500 that I've ever had." 5 S 1.,)0 • \ ul. -J.l . ~<oil· • ' 111 \ l! 1 1! 1 v U.S. ARMY CHEVROLET J.

The students are Jenna Zerkle, Gallipolis, Ohio, and Cass1e Rice, Hamden,Ohio. They went to the Philippines on Feb. 15 to assist w1th the project. Dr. Mel Simon of Gallipolis leads medical missions to the Philippines every year to operate for free on poor and mdigent patients in remote areas of the country. Simon started ''Operdlio11 We Care" in 1985 after he and his wife, Lydia, saw a great need for medical a~sistance for the poor in the Philippines. Simon recruits other medical professionals to travel with him every year. and the group stays in the Philippines for up to two weeks. "There still continues to be so much need, especially in the viUage areas," Simon said. Duck from PageA1 Areas that will be invaded : are encouraging citizens to · "adopt" the ducks for a chance to win prizes, with all proceeds going to the ArielDater Centre. For a list of adoption locations, contact the theatre at 740-446-ARTS or online at The group planned to take I0-15 surgeons this year and a total team of around 40, and do general medical and dental work. Last year, the team performed 105 major surgeries, 120 minor surgeries, and 1,200 dental procedures. ·The rrofessionals come from al across the U.S. to assist with the program. The Rotary Club Foundation helps fund the project, but the professionals pay their own expenses. The program also gets involved in other projects such as nutrition programs for children, donations of equipment to medical facilities and projects to build water systems for villages. Zerkle and Rice are both students in the School of Sciences at Rio Grande, and they both hope to eventually become doctors. They are involved in the Medical Science Club at Rio Grande. and have been involved with programs with .medical professionals in the area already. www.arieltheatre.org.

TRAC announced late last year that the project would be delayed I0 more years because of a fundin~ shortage for highway proJects.

"These fumes could come from your gas or propane furnace or water heater, a kerosene heater, wood burner or fueplace. Carbon monoxide is a silent, odorless killer."

Dear Annie: I just staned high school, and my brother is in kindergarten. I have calmly and maturely tried to convince my parents to let our family get a dog, but they just say. "Not yet." Several years ago, we had to put both of our cats to sleep, and since then, we have only owned pond !ish. My parents constantly remind me that pets interfere with traveling. they can be expensive and that our family is not ready to be responsible for an animal. I have stated that I would be able to handle a lot of responsibility in caring for the dog. but still Mom and Dad have lold me tn wait.

"In terms of access, it's · like a cork in a bottle," Varnadoe said. "It's the one slow-down in the entire corridor. and its completion is necessary to make the new U.S. 33 corridor whole." "Why would the state spend hundreds of millions of dollars on both ends of the . project and not finish the middle?" he asked. Varnadoe said a project like the Nelsonville bypass can be permanently threatened when removed from the funding mix. "When you take it out for a year or two, it often doesn't get finished," he said. TRAC assigns points to projects when determining theu eligiblity of funding , and Varnadoe said the Nelsonville project had more points than some pro· jects that remained on the TRAC list. He said all pending projects in Franklin County remained on the li st of active projects, even those with lower point totals than the Nelsonville project. "We were all stunned when they pulled the pro· ject, because it had enough points." Varnadoe said.

The students are Jenna Zerkle, Gallipolis, Ohio, and Cass1e Rice, Hamden,Ohio. They went to the Philippines on Feb. 15 to assist w1th the project. Dr. Mel Simon of Gallipolis leads medical missions to the Philippines every year to operate for free on poor and mdigent patients in remote areas of the country. Simon started ''Operdlio11 We Care" in 1985 after he and his wife, Lydia, saw a great need for medical a~sistance for the poor in the Philippines. Simon recruits other medical professionals to travel with him every year. and the group stays in the Philippines for up to two weeks. "There still continues to be so much need, especially in the viUage areas," Simon said.

For a list of adoption locations, contact the theatre at 740-446-ARTS or online at The group planned to take I0-15 surgeons this year and a total team of around 40, and do general medical and dental work. Last year, the team performed 105 major surgeries, 120 minor surgeries, and 1,200 dental procedures. ·The rrofessionals come from al across the U.S. to assist with the program. The Rotary Club Foundation helps fund the project, but the professionals pay their own expenses. The program also gets involved in other projects such as nutrition programs for children, donations of equipment to medical facilities and projects to build water systems for villages. Zerkle and Rice are both students in the School of Sciences at Rio Grande, and they both hope to eventually become doctors. They are involved in the Medical Science Club at Rio Grande. and have been involved with programs with .medical professionals in the area already. www.arieltheatre.org.

A $50,000 donation made by the Howard Nolan estate to such as the DUCKtona and perhaps a concert. In 2006, we had over 20 cooks and we expect 30 this year," said Tommie Vaughn, co-chair of Chili Fest. "Joining forces with the French City Chili Fest will allow our committee to advertise and support other events throughout the region while increasing duck adoptions," added Roger Cox, DUCKtona co-chair. the fire department's Pomeroy Squad last July, as well as ongoing work at the Mulberry Community Center for the playground, were used to document $150,000 in match money for the $300,000 grant. Match money was detennined by money spent by organizations in the village that are defined as bettering the good of the whole community. Pomeroy now has just under two years to spend the CDBG funds which cannot be spent on the downtown businesses district. Robinson voting against it. That Sheets said, means the levy stands as it was hrst approved by council in January, as an I>SUe to be decided by voters in May Sheets commended the board of elections staff who helped clarify the issue. and said they and Moore had acted in an effort "only to do what's best for all of us... Robinson made the original motion to place the levy on the May ballot, and Moore seconded it There was no discussion of the cost to the village for the election at the time the motion wa> first made: it was only after villa~e officials talked to elechons hoard staff that the cost became an issue. Villages. townships and . - Bypass from PageA1 Fairfield counties have presented a unified front for years to push for the completion of .the. U.S. 33 project, and otflcmls m Jackson County, W.Va., have also been active. "We're appealing to our respective state representatives and to the governor's office," Varnadoe said. "We're hoping TRAC will reinstate the Nelson,ville project when it meets again in May." Varnadoe said Friday the project was funded and planned. but might never be completed if it stays off the TRAC's list of projects. TRAC announced late last year that the project would be delayed I0 more years because of a fundin~ shortage for highway proJects. The Nelsonville bypass has been seen as the final stage of completing a Capital Corridor, connecting Charleston, W.Va., with Columbus and providing easier access to Interstate 77.

Centerville Fire Chief Robert Terry warned against candles. "Be very careful of candles. Don't leave them unattended and be careful what you put them in," Terry said. "Candles should be confined in a container that is desi¥ned to stand heat." Fire 1s not the only danger in winter months: carbon monoxide can also be deadly. "Carbon monoxide detec- tors are important to have in homes to detect deadlr, . fumes created from flames,· said Gallia County Red Cross volunteer Ron Paxton. "These fumes could come from your gas or propane furnace or water heater, a kerosene heater, wood burner or fueplace. Carbon monoxide is a silent, odorless killer." In the event of a fire there are several actions that can be taken to ensure personal safety. "Get out, close the door as · you leave and stay out," said Rio Grande Fire Chief Bob Brandeberry. ''Let the professional fuefighter take care of the fire ·when they arrive." It also important, according to the Red Cross, to use the second way out if smoke or fue is visible in the first escape route, always feel a closed door for heat before opening it and crawl low, under the smoke, if you must exit through a smokefilled room.

Dear Annie: I just staned high school, and my brother is in kindergarten. I have calmly and maturely tried to convince my parents to let our family get a dog, but they just say. "Not yet." Several years ago, we had to put both of our cats to sleep, and since then, we have only owned pond !ish. My parents constantly remind me that pets interfere with traveling. they can be expensive and that our family is not ready to be responsible for an animal. I have stated that I would be able to handle a lot of responsibility in caring for the dog. but still Mom and Dad have lold me tn wait. How can I prove to my parents that our time as a fami ly together is slipping away. and sooner is better than later to get a dog., Lonely Teen Lacking a Dog Dear Teen: We suspect your parents worry that your enthu siasm will wear off after a few weeks and they will be 'tuck .,.,.alking the dog in the early hours of a cold morning.

Because only the village has an issue on the May ballot, it w will bear the entire cost, estimated at just over $3,000. The wst of the general election will be roughly the same. but will be divided among other entities. Without the levy issue. no election would have been necessary in May, because there were no contested race' on either the Democratic or Republican ballot H.

Independent candidates have until just before the primary to file their petitions for oftice. and Athens and a new Lancaster bypass now completed. only Nelsonville remains untinished. "In terms of access, it's · like a cork in a bottle," Varnadoe said. "It's the one slow-down in the entire corridor. and its completion is necessary to make the new U.S. 33 corridor whole." "Why would the state spend hundreds of millions of dollars on both ends of the . project and not finish the middle?" he asked. Varnadoe said a project like the Nelsonville bypass can be permanently threatened when removed from the funding mix. "When you take it out for a year or two, it often doesn't get finished," he said. TRAC assigns points to projects when determining theu eligiblity of funding , and Varnadoe said the Nelsonville project had more points than some pro· jects that remained on the TRAC list. He said all pending projects in Franklin County remained on the li st of active projects, even those with lower point totals than the Nelsonville project. "We were all stunned when they pulled the pro· ject, because it had enough points." Varnadoe said.

Today's Highlight in History : On March 4. 1789. the Constitution of the United States went into effect as the first Federal Congress met in New York. (The lawmakers then adjourned for lack of a quorum.) On this date: In 1681. England's King Charles II granted a charter to William Penn for an area of land that later became Pennsylvania. In 1791. Vermont became the 14th state. In 1837. a city charter for Chicago went into effect. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated president. In 1902, the American Automobile Association was founded in Chicago. In 1925. President Calvin Coolidge's inauguration was broadcast live on 21 radio stations coast to coast. In 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated president, pledging to lead the country out of the Great Depression. In 1952, actors Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis were married in San Fernando Valley, Calif. In 1981 , a jury in Salt Lake City convicted Joseph Paul Franklin, an avowed racist, of violating the civil rights of two black men who'd been shot to death. In 1987. President Reagan addressed the nation on the Iran-Contra affair. acknowledging his overtures to Iran had "deteriorated" into an arms-for-hostages deal. Ten years ago: President Clinton visited the scene of tornado destruction in his home state of Arkansas. where he also declared Ohio and Kentucky disaster areas because of floods. President Clinton barred spending federal money on human c toning. Five years a~o: Seven American soldiers were killed and II wounded m Afghanistan at the outset of Operation Anaconda against remnant Taliban and al-Qaida forces. European Union's 15 members ratified the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, but failed to set pollutant-emission levels to meet the accord's targets. One year ago: President Bush. visiting Islamabad, praised Pakistan's tight against terrorism as unfaltering, but turned down an appeal for the same civilian nuclear help the United States intended to give India. The Army announced it would start a criminal investigation into the 2004 friendly lire death of former professional football player Patrick Tillman in Afghanistan.

In case you don't know. child pornography features chi ldren from infants on up being raped in a variety of ways by adults. It is expensive to purchase and, because of the Internet, the distribution of this evil material has become easy. Have a credit card, you can get it. According to ICE agents, one of those who used a credit card to purchase child porn is attorney Charles Rust-Tierney, the former president of the American Civil Liberties Union in Virginia. Tierney was arrested and charged on Feb. 23. Tierney apparently told appropriately while in the library, the default should be maximum. unrestricted access to the valuable resources of the Internet."

New technology brings fans closer to on-track action BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOC IATED PRESS What sports fan wouldn't love to listen to Peyton Manning in the huddle or talking strategy with his coaches on the stdeline? Or stand beside Joe Torre and hi s inlielders and listen as the Yankees manager tells Mike Mussina how he wants to pitch to the guy at the plate? Or see through the eyes of LeBron James as he soars toward the basket for a slam dunk? None of those things is likely to happen anytime soon. But NASCAR fans are breaking through the wall between drivers and teams and the grandstands in unprecedented ways. You want to ride along with Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Daytona from your couch? OK. How about listening from your family room to Jeff Gordon talk with crew chief Steve Letart about what he wants ,done on the next pit stop? No problem. You left your grandstand seat just long enough to get another beer and you missed "the Big One." Just watch the replay as many times as you want on your new handheld device. Oh yeah. What position is your favorite driver in after that last pit stop? Heck, just check the live slats at your fingertips. During last Sunday's Daytona 500, fans both at home and at tlic speedway were able to do all of the above, thanks to a new era of technology. "It's a wonder of the times," said Jay Abraham, president and CEO of NASCAR Images, which boasts that it manages the most technologically advanced television compound in the world.

Submined photo ASSOCIATED PRESS For those folks who don't know J.J. Yeley very well, he has a message: "That wasn't real! y me out there on the racetrack last year." Yeley, driving for Joe Gibbs Racin~, spent his rookie season m 2006 racing in the large shadows cast by teammates Tony Stewart, a two-time NASCAR champion, and Denny Hamlin, who ran away with the rookie of the year title. It wasn't just that Yeley's first full season in Nextel Cup concluded with only . tbree top-10 finishes and his No. 18 Chevrolet a disappointing 29th in the final standings. It was the way the former U.S. Auto Club shorttrack champion drove throughout the season. "I was just too passive." Yeley explained. "It was probably the worst racing season I have ever had in my career. "I wanted to get the reputation of racing guys clean. That way, I get raced th~ same. But there's a point where that works and there's a point where you are going to get taken advantage of and get shoved off the road." While trying so hard to earn a good reputation, Yeley seemed to be involved in nearly every crash that took place anywhere around him last season. He not only tore up a lot of good JGR equipment, his reputation suffered. "I know a lot ·of people suddenly thought I was a crasher," Yeley said. "I think I've always taken pretty good care of my equipment, but last year was just not me out there. "Now that! have my rookie season out of the way, it's not going to happen. I don't care if it's a rookie or a veteran, a guy I gr~w up watching or had a lot of respect for, if he wants to go down there and not race me clean ... then he's going to see a different J.J. Yeley in 2007." So far, so good. After starting the year with a solid 12th-place finish in the Daytona 500, Yeley added a 13th-place run at California Speedway and Randy Ashworth of South Gallia High School 's Powerlift Team is seen setting the dead lift meet record at the Southeastern Ohio Regional Powerlift Meet on Feb.

Ryan Howard went right back to hitting home nms - with or without a long-term deal. A few hours after the Phillies renewed his contract, giving the NL MVP a $900.000 salary, Howard homered in his tirst at-bat of spring training to help Philadelphia beat the Cleveland Indians 6-4 Friday. The big first baseman had hoped to reach a multiyear deal with the Phillies, but he certainly didn 'tlook frustrated at the plate. Howard. who led the major leagues with 58 homers last season, connected on Rafael Betancourt's fa~tbaiJ to lead off the third inning after drawing a walk in Philadelphia's three-run frrst. Howard set the tone for his run to the NL MVP award last year by leadin~ all players with II home runs in spnng trairung. "So far, he's been tremendous in the way he handles things," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He loves to play the game. I don't worry about Ryan in that aspect. He's going to get his." . . Howard figures to be one ot the biggest bargains in baseball this season - agam. He earned a $355,000 salary last year. His $900,000 deal matches the highest base salary in a one-year contract for a player not efigible for arbitration. St. Louis Cardinals slugger Alben PuJols agreed to a $900.000, one-year contmct in 2003 - that deal included a $50,000 bonus for making the All-Star team, which Pujols earned. Pu_jols started a $100 million. seven-year deal the following season. Howard, who hit .313 with 149 RBis last year, switched agents during the offseason and is now represented by Casey Close. The slugger said he was disappointed that he and the Phillies couldn't reach a long-term deal, but he's ready to start the season. "It's a )ittle frustrating and a little disappointing that we didn't get it done, but that's the business aspect," Howard said. "Now you use it as a starting point. It's over. Now you go out and play." The highest previous one-year contrdct for a pia~ with [ess than two years of service had n awarded to Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood. who made $690,000 in 2002.

New technology brings fans closer to on-track action BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOC IATED PRESS What sports fan wouldn't love to listen to Peyton Manning in the huddle or talking strategy with his coaches on the stdeline? Or stand beside Joe Torre and hi s inlielders and listen as the Yankees manager tells Mike Mussina how he wants to pitch to the guy at the plate? Or see through the eyes of LeBron James as he soars toward the basket for a slam dunk? None of those things is likely to happen anytime soon. But NASCAR fans are breaking through the wall between drivers and teams and the grandstands in unprecedented ways. You want to ride along with Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Daytona from your couch? OK. How about listening from your family room to Jeff Gordon talk with crew chief Steve Letart about what he wants ,done on the next pit stop? No problem. You left your grandstand seat just long enough to get another beer and you missed "the Big One." Just watch the replay as many times as you want on your new handheld device. Oh yeah. What position is your favorite driver in after that last pit stop? Heck, just check the live slats at your fingertips. During last Sunday's Daytona 500, fans both at home and at tlic speedway were able to do all of the above, thanks to a new era of technology.

A collection of lions is called a pride , of course, but a bunch of apes ,is called a shrewdness. The co llective names for bird species are interesting, andperhaps even a littl e descriptive . It is easy to beli ef that a gatherin gof lark s is an exaltation, or th at many peacock s form an ostentation . The terms associated with black birds like crows, ravens ormagpies are a little more morbid :.a murder of crow s. a tiding of magpies or an unkindne ss of rayens. Appropriately enough, a group of buzzards is called a wake . A group of.owls is called a parliament .. . doe sn' t that sound dignified? One of my favorites is an aarmory of aardvarks. Names of young animal s are often pretty easy : puppies. kittens, calves. etc. but how about the young of my least-favorite species, the jellyfish ? Their young are called ephyna. A group of jellyfi sh, incidentally, is called a smack (I think a "sting" would be a more appropriate collective name for jellyfish). My di slike for jellyfish comes from the fact that I have beenstung in every body of salt water surrounding our continent with the exception of the Arctic Ocean, and I don't mean just little tingling stings: I'm talking about the solid zaps that re sult in me trying to run back to shore on top of the water, but I digress .

In general , the word bull and cows tend to stick to large animals like hippos, elephant s, whales and bison. A male opossum is referred to as a jack, while the female , appropriately enough, is called a Jill. The same goes for wombats and some other marsupials. A male donkey is also called a jack, but the female in that case is called a jenny. Of course a male deer is called a buck, but what about a male gerbil , hamster or weasel... yep , they are bucks too. I couldn 't find distinct terminology for male/female jellyfi sh. My guess is nobody can reallv tell the difference between them . There are even terms that de>eribe "none of the above." For instance a castrated bull is called a steer, a neutered horse is a gelding. and in case you didn ' t know it , a castrated male cat is called a gib.

Ryan Howard went right back to hitting home nms - with or without a long-term deal. A few hours after the Phillies renewed his contract, giving the NL MVP a $900.000 salary, Howard homered in his tirst at-bat of spring training to help Philadelphia beat the Cleveland Indians 6-4 Friday. The big first baseman had hoped to reach a multiyear deal with the Phillies, but he certainly didn 'tlook frustrated at the plate. Howard. who led the major leagues with 58 homers last season, connected on Rafael Betancourt's fa~tbaiJ to lead off the third inning after drawing a walk in Philadelphia's three-run frrst. Howard set the tone for his run to the NL MVP award last year by leadin~ all players with II home runs in spnng trairung. "So far, he's been tremendous in the way he handles things," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He loves to play the game. I don't worry about Ryan in that aspect. He's going to get his." . . Howard figures to be one ot the biggest bargains in baseball this season - agam. He earned a $355,000 salary last year. His $900,000 deal matches the highest base salary in a one-year contract for a player not efigible for arbitration. St. Louis Cardinals slugger Alben PuJols agreed to a $900.000, one-year contmct in 2003 - that deal included a $50,000 bonus for making the All-Star team, which Pujols earned. Pu_jols started a $100 million. seven-year deal the following season. Howard, who hit .313 with 149 RBis last year, switched agents during the offseason and is now represented by Casey Close. The slugger said he was disappointed that he and the Phillies couldn't reach a long-term deal, but he's ready to start the season. "It's a )ittle frustrating and a little disappointing that we didn't get it done, but that's the business aspect," Howard said. "Now you use it as a starting point. It's over. Now you go out and play." The highest previous one-year contrdct for a pia~ with [ess than two years of service had n awarded to Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood. who made $690,000 in 2002.

The upstart company that specializes in mixed martial arts matched the once-dominant World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. in pay-perview revenues during 2006 and surpassed boxing-titan HBO. The three ~ompanies make up the bulk of the payper-view business. "It was a killer year," UFC president Dana White said. UFC a privately held company owned by Zuffa LLC. does not release financial results and White would not discuss them. But an industry executive familiar with the results said the company's I0 pay-per-view events generated more than $200 million incustomer retail revenue. WWE said it had 16 events that genemted approximately $200 million in revenue and HBO had II events, reponing revenue of $177 million. Typically, the companies take home about half of those customer retail revenues with cable companies getting the rest. The cost of the fights vary. People paid $39.95 to see UFC fighters pummel each other while WWE's brawls ranged ~tween $34.95 to $49.95. HBO s most expensive events cost $49.95. The perfonnance marks a significant turnaround for the Las Vega~-based company once maligned as nothing more than a money-losing venture .that promoted brawlers in a cage. UFC fought back using a television show on Spike TV, gelling more states to sanction the tights and drawing huge crowds to the live events. The stmtegy has appeared to work in a big way, helping spur more PPV buys - sales of one event per household thanks to the popularity of UFC fighters such as Tito Oniz and Chuck Liddell. UFC has a major PPV fight Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, where heavyweight champ Tim SyI via and Randy Couture will slug it out. "UFC ha~ reinvigomted the pay-per-view category," said Deana Myers, a senior analyst at Kagan Research LLC that trdCks the industry. To spark interest in pay-perview events, WWE and UFC also air bouts on various networks. WWE's shows "SmackDown.'' "RAW" (ffid "Extreme Championship Wrestling" - have been the top rated shows on their respective networks. H,BO helps promote its ti~hters on "Boxing After Dark.' One big difference between WWE and UFC is their audien~'e . Thiny-nine percent of WWE's huys came from international viewers. UFC doesn't have a slice of the international arena but intends to grab market share from WWE when it holds its first pay-perview tight in Manchester. England on April 21. White noted UFC has initiatives in Canada, Mexico and England, where it recently opened an office in London. Dave Meltzer, ediior of the Wrestling Observer Newslener, says competition between the WWE and UFC has heated up. He said WWE overexposed itself with too many events, huning its bottom line. WWE's year-overyear buys were down 400,000 tium 2005, according to the company. On the other hand, UFC's 5 million buys were a fivefold increase fro'!' 2005. Media analyst Mtchael A. Kelman of Susquehanna Fmanctal Group says the payper-view business will not be a rna· or growth driver for WWE. But other WWE businesses such as video sales and its ftlm division should bolster the company's future financial prospecis. Geof Rochester, WWE's senior vice president of marketing, said pay-per-view buys comprised 25 percent of tis diversified business. Like Myers, Meltzer believes some of WWE's audienee is gravitating to the UFC. "It's a pay-per-view rivalry," Meltzer satd. "I'm not saying it's huge but it exists. Ri~ht now, UFC is definitely hot. ' Meltzer added that WWE needs to find a new superstar like "The Rock," a crowd favorite who drew hordes of viewers. "What UFC is doing that WWE and boxing haven't done as well is create new :d stars., " he •• ~. HBO, for instance, has continued to rely on Oscar De Ia Hoya while a true heavywetght champion emerges, one with star power like Mike Tyson - who drew nearly 2 million buys twice in his heyday. "The heavyweight champ of the world has always been the mythical strongest man in the planet. It' s important for the spun," said Mark Taffet. HBO's senior vice president of sport.~ operation and payper-view. HBO !)opes a new champion will surface from heavyweight unitication matches that could take place this year. · R ·h . f h WWE . . oc ~s~e r, I e. . . smd the comp;m) 1s mcubat· mg new stars. . "We have the next Rock m John Cena." he said, referring to one of WWE\ most poputar wrestlers. UFC managetl to grow despite the lack of a heavy- ?, weight star, but the company recently inked a de<~ with the burtx Croatian Mirko "Cm Cop· Filipovic. He's lighting in Manchester in April. Most fans don't know Cro Cop but he has glimmers of being the UFC's Mike Tyson. "He's the most spectacular knockout anist of any weight," said Meltzer, the editor of the newsletter. ''American fans love knockout artists." Taffet said he 'isn't worried about UFC's rise. The two companies are negotiating over HBO possibly airing a UFC fight. However, there are questions about which company will rroduce the tight and who wit call it - along with some hard feelings.

Leilani Rhynehardt of Columbus, and Nacoyia Bowman of C'olumhus have been training to become boxers unuer the direct ion of coach Larry Craycraft. The ladies are all students at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College and have found boxing to be a relaxing way to exerL·isc, build sell esteem. and have fun with their friends. ''We don ' t spar against each other. we fi ght aguinst the guys," said Flowers. "We're all fri ends in here so we don't want to hurt each other. Sometimes we _just can' t control our power. " " It keeps you ..in shape. helps you lose weight. and is good conditioning for bas ketball," said Rhynchard t. " It gives us something to do, and it's fun." . "We do it to see of we' re good enough. then hopetully we can make some money," added Buckler. Craycrat"t-said that the lady boxers differ from their male counlerpans in many aspects. "The girls are a little bit wild sometimes, and the guys tend to be more technical." said Craycraft. ''The girls listen better and are good at taking advice . If they are n't sure what they're doing. they'll admit it. The guy s are stubborn ." Craycraft also explained that the pay scale varies for female boxers. Although they make more money than men in the early stages of the ir career. once they reach the top. their fights are worth less money. With over 15 years of coaching experience. Craycraft leads his team by guiding them as they spar. practice mitt work, and actively review footage of prev ious tights. "I try to film every tight so we can watch them and examine their style to help them improve," said Craycraft. ''The videos are a great tool. If you ca n show them what they are doing wrong. you can really correct it instead of just telling them about it.

"RAW" (ffid "Extreme Championship Wrestling" - have been the top rated shows on their respective networks. H,BO helps promote its ti~hters on "Boxing After Dark.' One big difference between WWE and UFC is their audien~'e . Thiny-nine percent of WWE's huys came from international viewers. UFC doesn't have a slice of the international arena but intends to grab market share from WWE when it holds its first pay-perview tight in Manchester. England on April 21. White noted UFC has initiatives in Canada, Mexico and England, where it recently opened an office in London. Dave Meltzer, ediior of the Wrestling Observer Newslener, says competition between the WWE and UFC has heated up. He said WWE overexposed itself with too many events, huning its bottom line. WWE's year-overyear buys were down 400,000 tium 2005, according to the company. On the other hand, UFC's 5 million buys were a fivefold increase fro'!' 2005. Media analyst Mtchael A. Kelman of Susquehanna Fmanctal Group says the payper-view business will not be a rna· or growth driver for WWE. But other WWE businesses such as video sales and its ftlm division should bolster the company's future financial prospecis. Geof Rochester, WWE's senior vice president of marketing, said pay-per-view buys comprised 25 percent of tis diversified business. Like Myers, Meltzer believes some of WWE's audienee is gravitating to the UFC. "It's a pay-per-view rivalry," Meltzer satd. "I'm not saying it's huge but it exists. Ri~ht now, UFC is definitely hot. ' Meltzer added that WWE needs to find a new superstar like "The Rock," a crowd favorite who drew hordes of viewers. "What UFC is doing that WWE and boxing haven't done as well is create new :d stars., " he •• ~. HBO, for instance, has continued to rely on Oscar De Ia Hoya while a true heavywetght champion emerges, one with star power like Mike Tyson - who drew nearly 2 million buys twice in his heyday. "The heavyweight champ of the world has always been the mythical strongest man in the planet. It' s important for the spun," said Mark Taffet. HBO's senior vice president of sport.~ operation and payper-view. HBO !)opes a new champion will surface from heavyweight unitication matches that could take place this year. · R ·h . f h WWE . . oc ~s~e r, I e. . . smd the comp;m) 1s mcubat· mg new stars. . "We have the next Rock m John Cena." he said, referring to one of WWE\ most poputar wrestlers. UFC managetl to grow despite the lack of a heavy- ?, weight star, but the company recently inked a de<~ with the burtx Croatian Mirko "Cm Cop· Filipovic. He's lighting in Manchester in April. Most fans don't know Cro Cop but he has glimmers of being the UFC's Mike Tyson. "He's the most spectacular knockout anist of any weight," said Meltzer, the editor of the newsletter. ''American fans love knockout artists." Taffet said he 'isn't worried about UFC's rise. The two companies are negotiating over HBO possibly airing a UFC fight. However, there are questions about which company will rroduce the tight and who wit call it - along with some hard feelings.

KOCMOUD RIO GRANDE - Five young women have spent the last month punching. jumping. blocking and dodging their way to their first fi ght. Lauren Flowers, of Marion , Ohio. Amanda Buckler of Jackson, Caprita T. Bell uf Cleveland. Leilani Rhynehardt of Columbus, and Nacoyia Bowman of C'olumhus have been training to become boxers unuer the direct ion of coach Larry Craycraft. The ladies are all students at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College and have found boxing to be a relaxing way to exerL·isc, build sell esteem. and have fun with their friends. ''We don ' t spar against each other. we fi ght aguinst the guys," said Flowers. "We're all fri ends in here so we don't want to hurt each other. Sometimes we _just can' t control our power. " " It keeps you ..in shape. helps you lose weight. and is good conditioning for bas ketball," said Rhynchard t. " It gives us something to do, and it's fun." . "We do it to see of we' re good enough. then hopetully we can make some money," added Buckler. Craycrat"t-said that the lady boxers differ from their male counlerpans in many aspects. "The girls are a little bit wild sometimes, and the guys tend to be more technical." said Craycraft. ''The girls listen better and are good at taking advice . If they are n't sure what they're doing. they'll admit it. The guy s are stubborn ." Craycraft also explained that the pay scale varies for female boxers. Although they make more money than men in the early stages of the ir career. once they reach the top. their fights are worth less money. With over 15 years of coaching experience. Craycraft leads his team by guiding them as they spar. practice mitt work, and actively review footage of prev ious tights. "I try to film every tight so we can watch them and examine their style to help them improve," said Craycraft. ''The videos are a great tool. If you ca n show them what they are doing wrong. you can really correct it instead of just telling them about it.

Last week, Robert Burton, "Artie Foo" as most of us know him, came by with the March issue of "Reminisce," Which true to its name, is a magazine of stories out of the past. In the March issue there is a story about a Pomeroy horne which was a part of the Underground Railroad in the 1800s. It was wriuen by Ruth Thornton Reitman of Ambler, Pa.. now 83, who grew up in the Mulberry Avenue home. To many of us it is still known as the Thornton property, althou$h both James and Ruth dted many years ago. In her story, Mrs. Reitman tells of the family which lived out of town about four miles, her father's obsession about not living in an area that flooded, her mother's desire to live in town, and her father's purchase of the I00-year-old Mulberry Avenue property, well out of flood waters, as a gift to his wife in 1946. An unusual structure, the house is three lloors with a porch on each flood. From the third level porch at that time, you could walk out onto the hill in the back. The Thornton family sometime later learned that the house had been a part of the Underground Railroad. Mrs. Reitman describes the house as having steps to the second floor which had a closet with a secret door in the back, leading to another set of steps to the third floor from which runaway slaves could escape to the hill behind the house. Once over the hill, it was difficult for anyone to find them, she concluded. ••• Now about Bull Montana, who was a shoeshine guy on Court Street in Pomeroy for many years. Someone inquired of us about what ever happened to Bull and several old-timers have stopPed by the office to share !hell memories about him. Seems he was a friend to everyone and was wellliked in the community. Several reflected on times when they hung out around the stand while waiting for their fathers or grandfathers got their shoes shined. Rich Jones recalled that Bull was a wrestler at Ohio University under Coach Thor Olsen, that he was Charlene Hoeflich quite a character, a reallx nice old man, who "didn I have two pennies to rub together." From what I hear, he did nothing but shine shoes for a living. stopping every couple of hours to run into the Blue and Grey restaurant and bus station to get a cup of coffee. While he wasn't a Meigs native he lived here for many years. He died in the late 50s and is buried at Beech Grove Cemetery. Several commented to me that the money for his burial was provided by the late Fred Crow, known for his generosity to those less forlUnate. ••• Alumni time is rolling around again and since the Pomeroy High School grdduatin~ class of 1957 is markmg its 50th anniversary, they are anxious to let every graduate know. From that class everyone has been notified except Eugene Frye and letters sent to his.last known addre~ in Florida keep coming tlack. So if anyone out there has his new address, call Rita Lewis Matthews, 992-4566. ... There are still openings in the two-day a week day care program for adults with memory loss being offered at the Senior Citizens Center. Kathy McDaniel, LPN , coordinator. is anxious to see more Megs Countians take advantage of the opportunity. It provides care Rot only for the afflicted but relief for the caregivers as well as support, all at a minimal cost to families. The support program teaches techniques to assist in the care of those in the early stages of Alzheimer's or other conditions resulting in memory loss. McDaniel will be happy to discuss the program and its benefits to anyone who will give her a call at 9922161. (Charlene Hoeflich is general ma1111ger of The &ily Sentinel in Po111eroy.) Page_C2 Sunday, Mareh 4, 2007 JAMES SANDS Ohio has come to be known as "tornado alley" with the peak season being April through July. Ohio averages about 16 tornadoes every year with more tornadoes in June. but the most severe ones have usually come in April. Actually, in the last few years. Ohio has not been in the top 5 in tornadoes as that distinction has gone to Texas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. The worst tornado to hit Gallia County in the last 50 years came on Tuesday. April 23, 1968. That event was an F3 tornado, which would mean that wind speeds were measured at 158 to 206 mph somewhere along the storm's path. Seven people were killed near Wheelersburg . The Gallipolis Tribune of the next day reported: "Tornado-like winds across Gallia slashed County shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday, leaving countless numl1ers homeless while causing untold property damage. "At least 17 persons have been reported injured. Miraculously, no one was killed despite the fact the twisters, which ran their course in. approximately 61/2 minutes. were said to be Gallia's worst in modern history. As of II a.m. today, residents of this stricken county were still cleaning up debris. "The Gallipolis State Institute and areas along Bob McCormick· Road were hardest hit in the Gallipolis area. Damage in the Patriot area may not be determined for days. The twisters apparently started in this area, swinging in from the southwest. They traveled northeast toward Gallipolis, passing the out~ skirts of the city on the northwest side. Homes, trailers, barns, garages, carports, trees, automobiles, utility poles and lines were leveled throughout the twister 's path." It was discovered that 15 buildings at OS I had been damaged and 19 diabetic patients were evacuated from Couage I 0 due to roof damage. The estimate of damages was later put at $500,000. ' The Jenkins family near Patriot was saved by the actions of a young Boy Scout. David Jenkins, age 12, told his Mom and three siblings to go to the recently completed furnace room under the house. David did not like that part of the room where the family was standing and so he made them move across the room. Shortly after moving. the floor came crashing down right where they had been standing. Then all was quiet . David crawled out of the basement through the coal bin and yelled back to his mother, ''It's gone, Mom." The house and its contents. part of which was of 150-year-old logs, was strewn across the pasture field. Trees were uprooted or bent. By the way, the father of the house, Gomer Jenkins, was· at work several miles away in Ravenswood at the Kaiser Plant. Also demolished was the trailer of the Roger Thomas family, about 200 yards from the Jenkins home. That trailer was completely picked up and set back down with three people inside. All were injured, but none seriously. According to Hobart Wilson Jr.'s column Datelin e Gal/ia, "Don Rees transported Mrs. Roger Thomas and her 17month -old son, Mark, along with 10-year-old Richard Lambert. to the hospital after the Thomas trailer on Symmes Creek Road was flattened by the twister. Rees said the storm was so fierce that he had to pull off the road. Hail the size of golf balls, some larger, began falling. One smashed against Rees · windshield, and splattered. Don said they carried Mrs. Thomas and her son about a half-mile down the road before they could reach the car. Fallen trees (at least four) blocked the road." Some of the important family papers from the Thomas trailer were found eight miles away. Wilson also reported on a cow in an old dairy barn that was. still standing and chewing its cud even after the barn was blown away. The animal dropped dead moments later. A white horse belonging to Gomer Jenkins was picked up, set down, then picked up again and taken across the road only to be set down again. Since that 1968 tornado, there have been two tornadoes to hit Gallia County, June: 2, 1980 and June 12, 1989. Probably the two worst tornadoes to hit Ohio were the June 28, 1924 one that hit the Sandusky area. killing 85 and injuring 300, and the Xenia tornado of April 3, 1974, where 34 were ki lied but 1.150 were injured. The nation's worst tornado was March 18, 1925 in Illinois, Missouri and Indiana. when 695 people died. (James Sands i.1 a special correspondent for the Sunday Times-Sentinel.

Mauer explained that information hteracy refers to understanding how to use information on the Internet, determining whether or not you CaJI trust the source on the Internet, and understanding how to research properly on-line. "A lot of it involves knowing if the information you have found ,is reliable and credible," Mauer said. Tim Snow, reference librarian/assistant professor at Rio Grande, added that it is also important to learn to determine if the information found on-line is up-to-date and accurate. · Mauer explained that the workshop looked at different ways that teachers can evaluate Web sites and the information presented on the Web sites. "The teachers also need to know how to teach students to be smart about the kinds of research they do on-line,.. Mauer said. When doing on- line research. teachers also need to know how to determine if materials are wpyrighted. and know how the materials can best be used in the classes. Snow added that if teachers understand how best to use the Internet for research and information, they would serve as good role models for their students when they are doing research on-line. The information literacy workshop related well to the new Ohio Academic Content Standards, and those in attendance learned a lot of information that they will be able to use in theu own teaching. . "It seemed to be pretty well received." Mauer said. Mauer is thankful for the ILJLE grant that paid for this workshop and the information literacy course, and said that he expects the focus on inforrnatton literacy and the cooperation between the Bunce School of Education and the Davis Library to continue even after the grant program bas ended. The Davis Library hopes to . create additional programs like this one that provide assistance to all of the academic progratns at Rio Grande, Mauer said.

Workshop tackles infonnation literacy RIO GRANDE - The of Rio University Grande/Rio Grande Community College welcomed two expen speakers to campus in January to lead a workshop on information literacy. The workshop was sponsored by the Bunce School of Education at Rio Grande, as well as the Davis Library at Rio Grande. The workshop was funded by a grant from the Institute for Library and Informatien Literacy Education ·(ILILE).

Last week, Robert Burton, "Artie Foo" as most of us know him, came by with the March issue of "Reminisce," Which true to its name, is a magazine of stories out of the past. In the March issue there is a story about a Pomeroy horne which was a part of the Underground Railroad in the 1800s. It was wriuen by Ruth Thornton Reitman of Ambler, Pa.. now 83, who grew up in the Mulberry Avenue home. To many of us it is still known as the Thornton property, althou$h both James and Ruth dted many years ago. In her story, Mrs. Reitman tells of the family which lived out of town about four miles, her father's obsession about not living in an area that flooded, her mother's desire to live in town, and her father's purchase of the I00-year-old Mulberry Avenue property, well out of flood waters, as a gift to his wife in 1946. An unusual structure, the house is three lloors with a porch on each flood. From the third level porch at that time, you could walk out onto the hill in the back. The Thornton family sometime later learned that the house had been a part of the Underground Railroad. Mrs. Reitman describes the house as having steps to the second floor which had a closet with a secret door in the back, leading to another set of steps to the third floor from which runaway slaves could escape to the hill behind the house. Once over the hill, it was difficult for anyone to find them, she concluded. ••• Now about Bull Montana, who was a shoeshine guy on Court Street in Pomeroy for many years. Someone inquired of us about what ever happened to Bull and several old-timers have stopPed by the office to share !hell memories about him. Seems he was a friend to everyone and was wellliked in the community. Several reflected on times when they hung out around the stand while waiting for their fathers or grandfathers got their shoes shined. Rich Jones recalled that Bull was a wrestler at Ohio University under Coach Thor Olsen, that he was Charlene Hoeflich quite a character, a reallx nice old man, who "didn I have two pennies to rub together." From what I hear, he did nothing but shine shoes for a living. stopping every couple of hours to run into the Blue and Grey restaurant and bus station to get a cup of coffee. While he wasn't a Meigs native he lived here for many years. He died in the late 50s and is buried at Beech Grove Cemetery. Several commented to me that the money for his burial was provided by the late Fred Crow, known for his generosity to those less forlUnate. ••• Alumni time is rolling around again and since the Pomeroy High School grdduatin~ class of 1957 is markmg its 50th anniversary, they are anxious to let every graduate know. From that class everyone has been notified except Eugene Frye and letters sent to his.last known addre~ in Florida keep coming tlack. So if anyone out there has his new address, call Rita Lewis Matthews, 992-4566. ... There are still openings in the two-day a week day care program for adults with memory loss being offered at the Senior Citizens Center. Kathy McDaniel, LPN , coordinator. is anxious to see more Megs Countians take advantage of the opportunity. It provides care Rot only for the afflicted but relief for the caregivers as well as support, all at a minimal cost to families. The support program teaches techniques to assist in the care of those in the early stages of Alzheimer's or other conditions resulting in memory loss. McDaniel will be happy to discuss the program and its benefits to anyone who will give her a call at 9922161. (Charlene Hoeflich is general ma1111ger of The &ily Sentinel in Po111eroy.) Page_C2 Sunday, Mareh 4, 2007 JAMES SANDS Ohio has come to be known as "tornado alley" with the peak season being April through July. Ohio averages about 16 tornadoes every year with more tornadoes in June. but the most severe ones have usually come in April. Actually, in the last few years. Ohio has not been in the top 5 in tornadoes as that distinction has gone to Texas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. The worst tornado to hit Gallia County in the last 50 years came on Tuesday. April 23, 1968. That event was an F3 tornado, which would mean that wind speeds were measured at 158 to 206 mph somewhere along the storm's path. Seven people were killed near Wheelersburg . The Gallipolis Tribune of the next day reported: "Tornado-like winds across Gallia slashed County shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday, leaving countless numl1ers homeless while causing untold property damage. "At least 17 persons have been reported injured. Miraculously, no one was killed despite the fact the twisters, which ran their course in. approximately 61/2 minutes. were said to be Gallia's worst in modern history. As of II a.m. today, residents of this stricken county were still cleaning up debris. "The Gallipolis State Institute and areas along Bob McCormick· Road were hardest hit in the Gallipolis area. Damage in the Patriot area may not be determined for days. The twisters apparently started in this area, swinging in from the southwest. They traveled northeast toward Gallipolis, passing the out~ skirts of the city on the northwest side. Homes, trailers, barns, garages, carports, trees, automobiles, utility poles and lines were leveled throughout the twister 's path." It was discovered that 15 buildings at OS I had been damaged and 19 diabetic patients were evacuated from Couage I 0 due to roof damage. The estimate of damages was later put at $500,000. ' The Jenkins family near Patriot was saved by the actions of a young Boy Scout. David Jenkins, age 12, told his Mom and three siblings to go to the recently completed furnace room under the house. David did not like that part of the room where the family was standing and so he made them move across the room. Shortly after moving. the floor came crashing down right where they had been standing. Then all was quiet . David crawled out of the basement through the coal bin and yelled back to his mother, ''It's gone, Mom." The house and its contents. part of which was of 150-year-old logs, was strewn across the pasture field. Trees were uprooted or bent. By the way, the father of the house, Gomer Jenkins, was· at work several miles away in Ravenswood at the Kaiser Plant. Also demolished was the trailer of the Roger Thomas family, about 200 yards from the Jenkins home. That trailer was completely picked up and set back down with three people inside. All were injured, but none seriously. According to Hobart Wilson Jr.'s column Datelin e Gal/ia, "Don Rees transported Mrs. Roger Thomas and her 17month -old son, Mark, along with 10-year-old Richard Lambert. to the hospital after the Thomas trailer on Symmes Creek Road was flattened by the twister. Rees said the storm was so fierce that he had to pull off the road. Hail the size of golf balls, some larger, began falling. One smashed against Rees · windshield, and splattered. Don said they carried Mrs. Thomas and her son about a half-mile down the road before they could reach the car. Fallen trees (at least four) blocked the road." Some of the important family papers from the Thomas trailer were found eight miles away. Wilson also reported on a cow in an old dairy barn that was. still standing and chewing its cud even after the barn was blown away. The animal dropped dead moments later. A white horse belonging to Gomer Jenkins was picked up, set down, then picked up again and taken across the road only to be set down again. Since that 1968 tornado, there have been two tornadoes to hit Gallia County, June: 2, 1980 and June 12, 1989. Probably the two worst tornadoes to hit Ohio were the June 28, 1924 one that hit the Sandusky area. killing 85 and injuring 300, and the Xenia tornado of April 3, 1974, where 34 were ki lied but 1.150 were injured. The nation's worst tornado was March 18, 1925 in Illinois, Missouri and Indiana. when 695 people died. (James Sands i.1 a special correspondent for the Sunday Times-Sentinel.

Mauer explained that information hteracy refers to understanding how to use information on the Internet, determining whether or not you CaJI trust the source on the Internet, and understanding how to research properly on-line. "A lot of it involves knowing if the information you have found ,is reliable and credible," Mauer said. Tim Snow, reference librarian/assistant professor at Rio Grande, added that it is also important to learn to determine if the information found on-line is up-to-date and accurate. · Mauer explained that the workshop looked at different ways that teachers can evaluate Web sites and the information presented on the Web sites. "The teachers also need to know how to teach students to be smart about the kinds of research they do on-line,.. Mauer said. When doing on- line research. teachers also need to know how to determine if materials are wpyrighted. and know how the materials can best be used in the classes. Snow added that if teachers understand how best to use the Internet for research and information, they would serve as good role models for their students when they are doing research on-line. The information literacy workshop related well to the new Ohio Academic Content Standards, and those in attendance learned a lot of information that they will be able to use in theu own teaching. . "It seemed to be pretty well received." Mauer said. Mauer is thankful for the ILJLE grant that paid for this workshop and the information literacy course, and said that he expects the focus on inforrnatton literacy and the cooperation between the Bunce School of Education and the Davis Library to continue even after the grant program bas ended. The Davis Library hopes to . create additional programs like this one that provide assistance to all of the academic progratns at Rio Grande, Mauer said.

(AP) - West Virginia has it' first Hispanic 4-H cluh, formed to r~ach out to th~ newest and youngest mem of the Eastern bers Panhandle's rapidly grow ing population. West Virginia University Extension Service specialist Richard L. Fleisher said 4-H clubs in Berkeley County are already bringing young people, their parents and volunteers together. "The -organization is a link to help the dominant culture learn about the Hispanic culture and help Hispanic ctolture the increase their understanding of West Virginia culture," he said Friday. Those connections also could help Hispanic residents integrate into their new communities. Statewide. WVU says, the Hispanic population surged nearly IR percent between 2000 and 2004. with increases in 45 of 55 counties. The new club met for the first time in January. with nearly 30 children voting to name themselve s Los Amigos 4-H Club. Though English and Spanish are spoken at meetings. some things are done in Spanish. That includes the 4-H pledge. The club is open to people ages 9 through 21. regardless of cultural background . "I see nothing hut wonderful. wonderful things coming from this exchange of cultures,.. said Doug Hovatter. extension agent for Berkeley County. "There are 80 families showing interest in this club. which would put the size to perhaps mote than 200," he said. That could lead to the creation of more Hispanic clubs.

Pascali also has a research appointment with the university's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. When restaurants manually wash dishes, they follow a three-step process: Dishes are washed and scrubbed in soapy water, rinsed with clean water, and finally soaked in water containing germ-killing sanitizers. But employees often use water that is cooler than II 0 degrees Fahrenheit - the minimum washing temperature recommended by the FDA because it is uncomfortably hot. The FDA also requires that washing cause a I00.000fold drop in amounts of bacteria on those dishes.

Sunday, March 4, 2007 Flavo1 s of the Jfeek Garlic gets gourmet mal<eover as consumption grows 1 BY JULIE WIENER FOR THE ASSOCIATE[) PRE SS Keith Stewan enforces a strict no hoarding policy when selling his garlic at New Yorlc's Union Square Green market . "We always run out," he says of hi s pungent product, a large-cloved variety known as rocambole. A neighbor brought back some from Italy 40 years ago, and for almost two decades, Stewart staned has grown it organically in New York's Hudson Valley. Like the chefs who hound Stewan for his harvest, Americans have developed an enormous appetite for garlic. And that demand ha s spurred an industry offshoot gourmet garlic such as Stewart's, special varieties that connoisseurs claim are to typical supermarket cloves as a great Gruyere is to processed cheese slices. "It's a different product," · says Peter Hoffman. " <:hef who uses Stewart's garlic at his Savov restaurant in New York . .:The sweetness of tlavor, the creaminess of texture, not to mention the ease of use in terms of peeling." Though most garlic sold in maim;tream grocers is the common so-called softneck variety - most of which comes from China and California mnre consumers are seeking out the more distinct tlavor of hardneck garlics. "With the supermarket stuff. you don 't know how old it is, and it has a harshness you don ' t find in rocambole," says Kemp Minifie, executive food editor at Gourmet magazine. Hardnecks are "juicier, the tlavor is better." Just as consumer appreci ation has allowed the artisanal cheese business to tlourish, garlic is now hav ing its day. "When I used to sell garlic, it was just garlic," says Gene Frey, a coordinator at Fedco Seeds Cooperative in Waterville. Maine. "Now people want to know the specific characteristics" of each variety. During the last 20 years, per capita consumption of garlic has gone from less than a ·pound to 2 1/2 pounds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which attributes the growth in part to the rising popularity of ethnic foods. And between 1995 and 2005, garlic production in the U.S. grew 20 percent to about 537 million pounds . During the same period, ~mports ' of fresh garlic went from 62 million pounds to 12o million. the USDA says. Sporting fewer, but larger, cloves than softneck garlics, hardneck varieties (the name refers to their stiff stems. something that has been bred out of softnecks) are grown through out the country. But to lind it. you'll probably have to look at farmers marKets or shop onltne. Bob Anderson. a retired management consultant from Bangs. Texas, started .his GourmetGarlicGardens.com Web site in 1997 to sell hardneck garlic for as much as $16 to $24 a pound. During those first years. he sold a couple hundred pounds a year. Today he sells about a ton, and says people are drawn to the "beautiful, rich garli<:ness and rich warmness 'a nd pungency" of the hard - AP photoll If you are 1n need of a garlic fix try heady garlic-potato soup, shown in this March 1 photo.

Though he grows some of hi s own. most of the garlic Anderso n se lls comes from a few dozen small farmers around the country. many of whom are in remote areas with no lo~:al market for their crop. A common myth · about hardnecks is that there are hundreds of varieties. This is because genetical! y identical cloves will produce dramatically different tlavors and textures depending on th·e climate . soil and other variables of where they are grown . But new research has revealed thut in the U.S. only 10 geneti<:ally distinc·t hardne c·ks and two softnecks are grown. "There was a great deal of confusion aboul what was what." says David Stern~ executive director of the Garlic Seed Foundation, a Rose . N.Y.. group that serves as a re source for small farmers. Not everyone has been pleased by the clarification. says Stern. Many farmer hav e been "maki ng money selling '400 varieties' of garlic." he says. ''I'm the schmuck that has to tell them. 'S ir. there 's 'only 10."' Among those 10 (which Naomi Scanlon, shown in this February 28 photo. grows several varieties of hardneck garlic on her Canterbury, N.H. farm. Scanlon, along with sister Abby Ladd, owns Two Sisters' Garlic which hOsts a garlic clay imcl makes many proclucts with her harvest. include Stewart's rocambole. as well as purple stripe and silverskin), porcelain is one of the more popular varieties. Known for its thick . parchment-like wrappers and large. plump cloves, it is sold under various names. including Georgia Crystal, Georgia Fire and Romanian Red. Few dispute that hardneck s offer better tlavor than common garlic . But whether the nuances between hardneclc varieties are meaningful is a mauer of debate. even with garlic's impressive terroir properties (the ability of location to intluence taste). "I would probably tlunk a blind taste-ID test. as would most people." says Naomi Scanlon. who along - - ---· with her sister runs Two Sisters Garlic. a Canterbury. N.H .. company that grows and sells seven to eight varieties of hardnefk a season. Which isn't to say there aren't differences . "It is oiot the taste so much that is distinctive, but how they cook up. their texture and taste retention," Scanlon says. "Some burst with tlavor immediately upon a bite while others sneak up on the moUth either with their true tlavor and/or heat." Of wurse. gourmet or otherwise. some aspects of garlic remain the same. And fans 'uch a' Anderson make no apologies. "The age of designer garlic breath has arrived.'' he 'ays. To make the garlic chips, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the garlic in the oil, turning frequently, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle the garlic lightly with salt. To make the soup, in a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. When foaming subsides, add leeks and cook until soft, 5 to 8 minutes (do not brown). Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add garlic heads, broth, bay leaves and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Partially cover the pot, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer unti I garlic heads are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 30 to 40 minutes. Add potatoes and continue to simmer. partially covered, until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. _Remove the garlic heads and, using tongs or paper towels, squeeze garlic heads at the root end over a "bowl until the cloves slip out of their skins. Using a fork, mash the cloves to a smooth paste. Stir the cream, tpyme and half of the mashed garlic into soup. Heat the soup until hot, about 2 minutes. Taste and, if desired, add remaining garlic paste. . Using immersion blender, process soup until creamy, with some potato chunks remaining. Alternately, transfer 1 1/2 cups of potatoes and 1 cup of broth to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return puree to the pot and stir to combine , adjusting consistency with more broth if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and serve, sprinkling each portion with chives and garlic chips.

Sunday, March 4, 2007 Flavo1 s of the Jfeek Garlic gets gourmet mal<eover as consumption grows 1 BY JULIE WIENER FOR THE ASSOCIATE[) PRE SS Keith Stewan enforces a strict no hoarding policy when selling his garlic at New Yorlc's Union Square Green market . "We always run out," he says of hi s pungent product, a large-cloved variety known as rocambole. A neighbor brought back some from Italy 40 years ago, and for almost two decades, Stewart staned has grown it organically in New York's Hudson Valley. Like the chefs who hound Stewan for his harvest, Americans have developed an enormous appetite for garlic. And that demand ha s spurred an industry offshoot gourmet garlic such as Stewart's, special varieties that connoisseurs claim are to typical supermarket cloves as a great Gruyere is to processed cheese slices. "It's a different product," · says Peter Hoffman. " <:hef who uses Stewart's garlic at his Savov restaurant in New York . .:The sweetness of tlavor, the creaminess of texture, not to mention the ease of use in terms of peeling." Though most garlic sold in maim;tream grocers is the common so-called softneck variety - most of which comes from China and California mnre consumers are seeking out the more distinct tlavor of hardneck garlics. "With the supermarket stuff. you don 't know how old it is, and it has a harshness you don ' t find in rocambole," says Kemp Minifie, executive food editor at Gourmet magazine. Hardnecks are "juicier, the tlavor is better." Just as consumer appreci ation has allowed the artisanal cheese business to tlourish, garlic is now hav ing its day. "When I used to sell garlic, it was just garlic," says Gene Frey, a coordinator at Fedco Seeds Cooperative in Waterville. Maine. "Now people want to know the specific characteristics" of each variety. During the last 20 years, per capita consumption of garlic has gone from less than a ·pound to 2 1/2 pounds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which attributes the growth in part to the rising popularity of ethnic foods. And between 1995 and 2005, garlic production in the U.S. grew 20 percent to about 537 million pounds . During the same period, ~mports ' of fresh garlic went from 62 million pounds to 12o million. the USDA says. Sporting fewer, but larger, cloves than softneck garlics, hardneck varieties (the name refers to their stiff stems. something that has been bred out of softnecks) are grown through out the country. But to lind it. you'll probably have to look at farmers marKets or shop onltne. Bob Anderson. a retired management consultant from Bangs. Texas, started .his GourmetGarlicGardens.com Web site in 1997 to sell hardneck garlic for as much as $16 to $24 a pound. During those first years. he sold a couple hundred pounds a year. Today he sells about a ton, and says people are drawn to the "beautiful, rich garli<:ness and rich warmness 'a nd pungency" of the hard - AP photoll If you are 1n need of a garlic fix try heady garlic-potato soup, shown in this March 1 photo.

Hi~• advice: • The more finely gar- ' lie is minced, the stronger it< llavor. • Use a garlk press. which breaks tlown the garlic fully, thtos releasing the most t1avor. • If you don' t own a, . press, mince the garlic' ' on a cutting board. then ' sprinkle it with "oil. , , Turning the knife on its side. press the garlit.: into a paste . For the prtlc chips: 3 tablespoons olive oil 6 medium cloves garlic, sliced thin lengthwise Salt · For the soup: 3 tablespoons unsalted buttflr 1 medium leek, ends trimmed . white and light green parts halved lengthwise and chopped .(about 1 cup) 3 medium cloves garlic, minced or pressed with a garlic press (about 1 tablespoon) 2 heads garlic, rinsed, loose skins removed and top third of each head cut off and discarded' 6 to 7 cups low-sodium chicken broth (start with 6 cups and use extra to thin soup, if needed) 2 bay leaves Salt 11/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 1/2 cups) 1 pound red bliss potatoes (not peele~), cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups) 1/2 cup heavy cream 11/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cupminced fresh chives neck varieties . Though he grows some of hi s own. most of the garlic Anderso n se lls comes from a few dozen small farmers around the country. many of whom are in remote areas with no lo~:al market for their crop. A common myth · about hardnecks is that there are hundreds of varieties. This is because genetical! y identical cloves will produce dramatically different tlavors and textures depending on th·e climate . soil and other variables of where they are grown . But new research has revealed thut in the U.S. only 10 geneti<:ally distinc·t hardne c·ks and two softnecks are grown. "There was a great deal of confusion aboul what was what." says David Stern~ executive director of the Garlic Seed Foundation, a Rose . N.Y.. group that serves as a re source for small farmers. Not everyone has been pleased by the clarification. says Stern. Many farmer hav e been "maki ng money selling '400 varieties' of garlic." he says. ''I'm the schmuck that has to tell them. 'S ir. there 's 'only 10."' Among those 10 (which Naomi Scanlon, shown in this February 28 photo. grows several varieties of hardneck garlic on her Canterbury, N.H. farm. Scanlon, along with sister Abby Ladd, owns Two Sisters' Garlic which hOsts a garlic clay imcl makes many proclucts with her harvest. include Stewart's rocambole. as well as purple stripe and silverskin), porcelain is one of the more popular varieties. Known for its thick . parchment-like wrappers and large. plump cloves, it is sold under various names. including Georgia Crystal, Georgia Fire and Romanian Red. Few dispute that hardneck s offer better tlavor than common garlic . But whether the nuances between hardneclc varieties are meaningful is a mauer of debate. even with garlic's impressive terroir properties (the ability of location to intluence taste). "I would probably tlunk a blind taste-ID test. as would most people." says Naomi Scanlon. who along - - ---· with her sister runs Two Sisters Garlic. a Canterbury. N.H .. company that grows and sells seven to eight varieties of hardnefk a season. Which isn't to say there aren't differences . "It is oiot the taste so much that is distinctive, but how they cook up. their texture and taste retention," Scanlon says. "Some burst with tlavor immediately upon a bite while others sneak up on the moUth either with their true tlavor and/or heat." Of wurse. gourmet or otherwise. some aspects of garlic remain the same. And fans 'uch a' Anderson make no apologies. "The age of designer garlic breath has arrived.'' he 'ays. To make the garlic chips, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the garlic in the oil, turning frequently, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle the garlic lightly with salt. To make the soup, in a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. When foaming subsides, add leeks and cook until soft, 5 to 8 minutes (do not brown). Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add garlic heads, broth, bay leaves and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Partially cover the pot, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer unti I garlic heads are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 30 to 40 minutes. Add potatoes and continue to simmer. partially covered, until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. _Remove the garlic heads and, using tongs or paper towels, squeeze garlic heads at the root end over a "bowl until the cloves slip out of their skins. Using a fork, mash the cloves to a smooth paste. Stir the cream, tpyme and half of the mashed garlic into soup. Heat the soup until hot, about 2 minutes. Taste and, if desired, add remaining garlic paste. . Using immersion blender, process soup until creamy, with some potato chunks remaining. Alternately, transfer 1 1/2 cups of potatoes and 1 cup of broth to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return puree to the pot and stir to combine , adjusting consistency with more broth if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and serve, sprinkling each portion with chives and garlic chips.

Workshop to address logging business needs 'I I I PIKETON -According to "Ohio: The Many Sides of the Forest Economy," a joint publication the Ohio Depanment of Natural Resources and the Ohio Forestry Association, the forest products industry contributes over $15 bill ion a year to Ohio's economy, with the logging industry contributing $286.5 million. While these numbers may seem astonishing for a mostly agricultural ~tate, the most surprising fact is that many of the loggers that are contributing have little, if any, formal business training. . Traditionally, training for loggers has focused on environmental awareness and safety. While these topics are important in the operation of a logging business, perhaps the most important aspect of running a logging business, such as operating efficiently and understandin: costs and timber values, has been left out. In an efforl to fill this void, the Forestry Team of the Ohio State University South Centers in conjunction with the .

This may be the year to hang up a peg board · in the garage to hang your garden equipment. Paint an outline of the equipment on the board for quick recall of what equipment is missing . Check the wheel barrow for a flat tire and does the barrow need to be repainted to protect it against rusting. ••• It's not too late to prune your fruit trees, grape vines and berry bushes. Hold off pruning your landscape plants until later in the month. Substantial pruning on fruit trees will increase the amount of new sucker growth. Stan with pruning any branches that are damaged or rubbing against another branch . Pruning should increase the amount of light reaching the main branches and the trunk of the tree. Grape vines should be trimmed to allow eight to twelve nodes or " knuckles" on each cane (vine-like growth) that formed last year. The cane color will be a reddish gray in color. If you cut back to the blackish gray trunk you will have cut off the potential buds that form fruit . Most established grape plants will supporl four to eight canes with eight til 12 nodes eath.

Workshop to address logging business needs 'I I I PIKETON -According to "Ohio: The Many Sides of the Forest Economy," a joint publication the Ohio Depanment of Natural Resources and the Ohio Forestry Association, the forest products industry contributes over $15 bill ion a year to Ohio's economy, with the logging industry contributing $286.5 million. While these numbers may seem astonishing for a mostly agricultural ~tate, the most surprising fact is that many of the loggers that are contributing have little, if any, formal business training. . Traditionally, training for loggers has focused on environmental awareness and safety. While these topics are important in the operation of a logging business, perhaps the most important aspect of running a logging business, such as operating efficiently and understandin: costs and timber values, has been left out. In an efforl to fill this void, the Forestry Team of the Ohio State University South Centers in conjunction with the . Small Business Development Center at the Ohio Stale University South Centers will host a workshop for logging businesses on Tuesday, March 13 at 5 p.m. at the OSU South Centers \J Submitted photo Logging is a growing business in rural Meigs County, according to Hal Kneen, Meigs County Educator at the OSU Extension office. An important feature of the logging industry is an understanding of upfront agreements between owners and purchasers ., such as will be covered in the March 13 workshop to be held at Piketon.

In addition to presentations by the South Centers Forestry and Business Development teams, participants will receive a keynote address by Stuan Moss, assistant professor of forest economics and business management at West Virginia University. Moss has 14 years experience in the forestry consulting business and was panowner of one of the largest forestry consulting firms in the country. Moss will also be teaching a section on forest valuation. Cost for this event is $50 per logging company (Includes one meal and one set of class materials). The cost for each additional logging company representative is $25 per person (meal only). There will be a $15 charge for additional sets of materials.

MARIETIA - Rural safety issues go beyond general farm safety. Thus, OSU Extension and Farm Bureau are teaming up to sponsor morning workshops to help our area better understand rural crime issues in addition to general farm safety. Presenters and speakers will cover everything from meth labs to skin cancer. Their 2007 Farm Safety Day will be held at Warren High School from 9 a.m. until I p.m. on Saturday, March 24. The main session will be "Keeping Your Farm Safe" an understanding of how meth labs affect your farm and community and responding to the methamphetamine epidemic in rur.J communities. The speaker will be Lee Hawks, a former detective in Grove City with the South Central Ohio High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. Lee is currently employed by the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office and he works on detecting and eradicating meth labs in the area. A second track of sessions will be offered at the same time from 9 a.m. until noon. This second track will include information about general farm safety. Eric Barrett will present on the impact of Washington County Agriculture. Wayne Dellinger, an agricultural engineerfrom Ohio State University, will give a presentation on Equipment Safety while opemting on the road. Kathryn Dodrill from OSU Extension will give hands-on demonstrations regarding sun safety for farmers, including the DermaScan machine where panicipants can view · the sun damage to their skin.

Live in an apanment long enough and you'll eventually embrace that old ai)age about there being no place too >mall to fit a garden. Take windowsills : These narrow but genemlly sunlit spaces have been used as homes for plants ranging from African violets to dwarf evergreens and lemon trees. "You only need about 2 square feet," said Sarah Carter, qtrator of herbaceous plants and outdoor gardens with the New York Botanical Garden. "Look at light conditions, humidity and temperature and then choose plants that fit rather than trying to get something to evolve." Herbs are probably the most popular windowsill gardening option, Carter said. Few things are more convenient for gardenersturned-cooks than aromatic herbs growing on a kitchen windowsill, . within easy reach of stove or table . ;'They do need a lot of light, so try using a >author southeast-facing window," she said. "Basil, parsley, rosemary and thyme are easy (to grow) and rewarding. You can start them from seeds in winter and have something green, fresh and usable when they're only a couple of inches high." If you're a serious salad eater, plant some baby lettuce, spinach or Asian greens to accompany the herbs. Many of these fa>tgrowi ng vegetables will produce several batches of leaves so don't toss them out after taking the tirst cutting. Good drainage is crucial for whatever you decide to grow indoors, Carter said. " Most houseplants are killed from over-watering. I use broken terra-cona pots for my bouom layers as a drainer and then add the potting mix. Put plastic drip trays underneath to protect the windowsills." Beware drafts from unsealed windows, especially if re-blooming orchid> . .;They can't stand drops in temperature." Carter satd. Draft -or no, windowsills are apt to be cold this time of year. Be careful about drawing your window shades too low - isolated between the shade and the window, plants might freeze or at least be damaged. Even touching a frosty pane for a few minutes can scar a leaf on some tender tropicals. Consider moving your favorite potted plants to a warm, out-of-the-way spot overnight, returning them to the window-side dming the day for at least six hours of nourishing sunlight . Cherry tomatoes, dwarf cabbage, beans, peas and peppers are attractive and don t req uire much elbow. room . You can quadruple the size of your windowsill garde n by adding a few hanging baskets or by building shelve s. Another easy way to expand is by placing a 6foot wooden ladder on each side of the window to support a few boards or rectangular pieces of window glass. That makes a sturdy and attractive platform for a sizable collection of container-grown plants. Greenhouse- or garden windows can be expensive but offer ready-made utili ty. The most basic of the >e bay window-like arrange ments are vented and tinted lo mimic conditions in miniature conservatories. They provide more sunlight and humidity for your plants than the plants would get if placed near thestandard tlat windows . Another inside-space option i> 10 set plants on tables or stands away from the windows but in places where they gel a lew hours of direct sun. Retlective materials ~uch as aluminum foil can be arranged to help retlecl the sun's rays. Sunlight can be<·omc too much of a good thing. ho\v- ever. West -facing window s often get deadly hot. searing the life from anything but the mo.sl drought-resi stant plants . Add sheer curtains to soften some of that sun or t.:hoose greenery · capable of storvi ving in desert-like conditions. A common and opposite problem for many indoor gardeners, particularly in winter, is not having enoul!h natural li ght where they need it. In tlml case, they >hould try growi ng Chinese ' evergreens (Aglaonema) , philodendrons or .;cast-iron plants' (Aspidistra), which are drou ght-tolerant and capable of handling tcmperalure s cooling at night into the 50s.
