Today's Highlight in History: On May 13, 1607, English colonists arrived by ship at the site of what became the Jamestown settlement in Virginia (the colonists went ashore the next day). On this date: In 1846, the United States (leclared that a state of war already existed against Mexico. In 1917, three peasant childr~n near Fatima, Portugal, reported seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary. In 1918, the first U.S. airmail stamps, featuring a picture of a Curtiss JN4 biplane, were introduced with a face value of 24 cents. (On some of the stamps, the biplane was printed upside-down; the "inverted Jenny," as it came to be called, instantly became a collector's item.) .In 1940, in his ftrst speech as prime minister of Britain, Winston Churchill told the House of Commons, "I have . nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Act. · In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon's limousine was battered by rocks thrown by anti-U.S. demonstrators in Caracas, Venezuela. ' In 1981, Pope John Paul ll was shot and seriously w<;>unded in St. Peter's Square by Thrkish assailant Mehrnet Ali Agca. In 1985, a confrontation between Philadeiphia·authorities and the radical group MOVE ended as police dropped an explosive onto the group's headquarters; 11 people died in the resulting fire. Ten years ago: At the Oklahoma City bombing trial, prosecutors showed jurors the key to the Ryder truck used to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah federal building, alleging Timothy Me Veigh left it behind in \he same alley he'd picked to stash his getaway car. Five years ago: President George Bush announced that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin would sign a treaty to shrink their countries' nuclear arsenals by two-thirds. President Bush signed a $190.billion farm bill guaranteeing hig~er subsidies to growers in Midwe~tem and Southern states. In Baltimore, Dontee Stokes shot and woundod the Rev. Maurice Blackwell, a Roman Catholic priest. (Stoke's, · who accused Blackwell of sexually abusing him as a boy, was later acquitted of attempted murder, but was convicted of gun charges and sentenced to house arrest.) ·One year ago: Fo~er Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton helped Tulane University celebrate its ''miracle" contrnencement, nine months after Hurricane Katrina put two-thirds of the campus under water and scattered students to more than 600 schools nationwide. · Today's Birthdays: Actress Beatrice Arthur is 85. Critic Clive Baines is 80. Act<tBuck Taylor is 69. Actor Harvey Keitel ts 68. Actor Franklyn Ajaye is 58. Actr~ss Zoe Wanamaker is 58. Singer Stevie Wonder is 57. Actress Julianne Phillips is 47. Basketball player Dennis Rodman is 46. Actor-comedian Stephen Colbert is 43. Singer Darius Rucker (Hootie and the Blowfish} is 41. · . Thought for Today: "When your mother' asks, 'Do you want a piece of advice?' it is a mere formality. It dilesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway." - Erma Bombeck, American hulnorist ( 1927-1996). LETTERS TO THEEDITOR . Letters to .the editor are welcome. They' should be less than 300 words.

The planned 360 square foot expansion will provide year-round classroom space and nature viewing opportunities at .this popular park attraction.The proposed · expansion, with an estimated cost of $20,000, is a cooperative effort between Lake Hope State Park and the Friends of Lake Hope, and is expected to be complete by summer 2008. According to . Park Naturalist Dave Sapienza, the space has been needed for a number of years. Popular new programs arid special events like the handfeeding hummingbird · program and the Holiday Trail of Lights have made the Nature Center a popular destin<J,tion for tourtsts and local residents. More than 30,000 visitors pass through the Nature Center each year to see snakes, turtles, interactive displays and more. "It's great to see the community · involvement and to see visitors give back to the park they love. The addition will help us continue to provide a fun learning environment for all visitors, but especially kids.

So in late Apnl, I hopped on. an airplane, then another airplane, then eight or nine more airplanes, until fil)ally I reached Alaska (Official . State Motto: "Speak Up! Our Earwax Is Frozen!"). Following is Part One of a two· part report on my trip. (Part Two will appear next week. Both parts are tax-deductible.) DAY ONE: I arrived in Anchorage and, as is the ancient custom . in "The Land of the Midnight Sun," I had the airplane seat cushion surgically detached from .my butt. It was evening, but there was still plenty of daylight left, and I knew that within just a few miles of downtown there were many ' spectacular unspoiled areas, virtually untouched by human civilization. So I went to a bar. There I had a few beers with my .friend Craig . Medred, who splits his time between writing' a column for The Anchorage Daily News and trying to get himself killed. Craig is a serious, by which I mean clinically insane, sportsperson. He's the kind of guy who's always .heading out to the wilderness for days .at a time, crawling around in the snow, chewing pine cones for nutrition, engaging in some extremely rugged sporting challenge such as hunting wolverines with a letter opener. One "time, while riding a mountain bike, he fell off a 75- · foot cliff; another 'time. while moose hun!ing, he encounter,!!d some bear Dave Barry cubs, and their mother who, as fate would have it, was also a bear, but much larger- attacked and hospitalized him. ("Maul first, ask questions later" - that is the mother-bear childcare philosophy.) For the record: In all my years as a newspaper columnist, I have never so much as received an angry letter from a bear. My evening at the bar with Craig was surreaL Maybe it was jet lag; maybe it was the getieral cosmic weirdness that permeates Alaska. It was definitely something. People were talking about the urban moose problem. It had been a very snowintensive winter, even for Alaska, and there were moose wandering all over Anchorage. This can create problems, because moose, in addition . to being humongous, are the dis" gruntled postal workers of the animal kihgdom. Anchorage residents routinely call their employers and say they can't come to work ri ght away on account of there is a moose on the porch. (Do not try this in, for example, San Diego.) Anyway, we were sitting at the bar, complaining about the moose situation, when somebody said, very calmly, ''We're having an earthquake.'' "WHAT?" I said, adding: "NOW?"

U.S. government wants new owner for Lake Erie lighthouse CLEVELAND (AP) The U.S. government is offering to give away one of . two iconic lighthouses on Lake Erie that mark the opening to the city's harbor. Both lighthouses, painted white with black lanterns, bpened in 1911, when Cleveland'sharborwasoneof thebusiestontheGreatLakes. But for cost-cutting reasons, the government is divesting lighthouses across the country and has added the lighthouse on the eastern side of Cleveland harbor to its list of available sites. 'officials are hoping to transfer the property to a . nonprofit caretaker - free .. of charge - that could use it for .education or recre, ation purposes said Paula Santangelo , a spokesman with the federal General Services Administration. The · U.S. Coast Guard. which owns the lighthouse, would continue to maintain the structure 's solar-powered beacons that mark har· bor entrances at night.

GALLIPOLIS- A traffic stop by Fayette County sheriff's deputies resulted in the seizure of more than $15,000 worth of crack cocaine believed destined for Gallia County and three arrests. The arrests were made Thursday in Washington Court Hou se, authorities said. Sheriff Vernon Stanforth said an investigation has determined the drugs were being .transported from the Dayton area to the Gallia County area, according to a story m Friday's edition .of the Washington Court House Record-Herald. At around I :30 a.m. Thursday, deputies stopped a red Oldsmobile on Highland Avenue . After obtaining identification of the occupants of the car, a Gallia County warrant for failure .to ·appear on drug- · related charges was discovered on one of the vehicle's occupants, Stanforth told the newspaper. Theron Smith, 23, Dayton, was arrested on the outstanding warrant. The sheriff's K-9 unit, Mike, was brought to the scene and indicated that there were drugs inside the car. "The amount of drugs . recovered was significant and probably one of the larger amounts found in one traffic stop," said Stanforth. The newspaper also reported that in addition to the outstanding Gallia County warrant, Smith was charged with possession of · cocaine arid preparation of crack cocaine for sale. Two other occupants of the car were arrested and charged with d~ug-related charges, the Record-Herald reported. Deron Bailey, 19, In Meigs County and all your insurance need~.

After Jacksonto(l)un early 1-0 lead in the first 'l)'ler Davis led off the third with a single to start a five run inmng. Casey Denbow delivered the key hit to drive in two runs and put the Devils ahead to stay. The team followed up the third inning with a fiverun fourth to put the game out of reach. Caleb Warnintont and 'l'vler Pearson each went 3-for-3 and scored three runs apiece. In the second game of the doubleheader, the offense erupted for 21 runs en route to ,a 21-8 victory. The offense was paced by Dennison who went 4-for-4 and scored four runs.

Two holes later, his perfect rec~rd on the meanest par 3 at Sawgrass was over. Having never found the water ·in 55 previous attempts, this one went over the back, down the ramp and into the lake. He played a brilliant pitch up the grassy walkway for bogey. Lehman had a 73 and was in the group at !-under 143 that included Jim Furyk (72) and Rocco Mediate (71 ). Furyk also struggled on his closing holes and hit the water. but his was on the front nine. He was one shot out of the lead until pulling his approach so badly on No. 7 that it hil·off the bank and into water, leading to a double bogey. "No golf professional shoUld ever hit it in that body of water," Furyk said. He also took bogey on the par-3 eighth by hitting out to the right, and wound up with a 72, still in the hunt. And that's they way he looked at his position. no matter how his round ended. ''I' m disappointed, but I've done a lot right," Furyk said. "That's the mental battle. If I would have made a bogey and a double bogey early today and played the rest of the way around and shot even par, everyone would have been congratulating me for pla7ing a ·good round here. I made those mistakes at the end, and everyone kind of expects me to jump off a bridge." Woods didn 't find much to like about his game. He didn't hit the ball well and still struggled on the greens. His only two birdies of the round came on par 5s. "I just need to shoot some good rounds," Woods said: · "I just can't afford to make the ·mistakes I've made.

That makes it a good choice for foods where the taste of olive oil is unnecessary or unwanted, such as a simple saute or even some baked goods. While all oils should be stored in cool, dark places, refined oils such as t~ is are less sensitive to heat and ligllt. Cooking oils Bv CHRISTOPHER MARKUNS FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS National Nursing Home Week, which is scheduled to begin on Mother's Day May 13 and end May 19, is a special week where residents, caregivers, families, staH· and volunteers honor and celebrate nursing facility life.

Knowing that plant-based oils - and most cooking oils. are are mostly heart healthy has helped Americans embrace them. All oil is fattening and must be consumed in moderation, but at least health issues can be mostly set aside when trying to make sense of the Choices. "If it's liquid at room temperature it's OK, probably heart healthy or heart neutral," says Katherine · Tallmadge, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "All oils are better than butter or hard fat." To some extent, 'picking an oil for a particular recipe is a matter of taste. But there are some importaut factors that can guide that Will the oil be consumed raw (as in a salad ~ressing ) or cooked (used for sauteing, frying or baking)? Each oil has a different heat tolerance , the so-called smoke point or temperature at whieh it begins to smoke and develop foul flavors and odors. Does the oil have an assertive flavor or is it neutral? Oils used in baking generally shc;>uld have neutral or nutty flavors, while s~rong peppery flavors are more deSifable in an olive oil used for salads or dipping breads. Do certain foods have a special affinity for one oil or another? Italian foods pair easily with olive oils, for example, just as sesame oil is good with Japanese foods and peanut is nice with many Thai dishes .
