BY KATHY MITCHEU A'ND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: A year ago, I found but I was pregnant. When I shared the great news with my husband, "Archie," he screamed, "How can you do tliis? Are you trying to trap me?" I was hurt, but knew he 'd been under a lot of stress, so I just thought he was having . a bad day. A month later, I got a call from "Megan," one of the athletes that Archie coaches. She said . she was sorry Archie and I were getting divorced and that the two of them had been together for six months. I said she was mistaken, that Archie and I were very happy and expecting a baby. She started crying and hung up. When Archie came home, I·confronted him about the call, and he denied everyt~ing . The next day, he came home with an arrn.load o'f roses and two baby outfits. Two days later, he moved out while I was at work, and took everything, · including my hairbrushes, some jewelry and my diary. · He Ignored all my phone calls, but on our one-year ahniversary, he and Megan l~ft a message on my answering .machine, laughing, saying, "Happy anniversary! We are having a; great time together!" I cried most of the day, and that evening, I had a miscarriage. When I was released from the hospital, I filed for divorce. . I heard that Archie's mother told everyone I'd had an abortion and "threw ¥chie out for no reason." It's been hard to keep my chin up when I am mourning the loss of my marriage ard my baby. I've been in counseling, but it doesn 't seem to help. I don't want to grow into a bitter old woman. Friends have told me to start dating again, but I can't imagine doing that when I thought Archie was "the one" and he turned out to be so horrible. What can I do?

BY KATHY MITCHEU A'ND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: A year ago, I found but I was pregnant. When I shared the great news with my husband, "Archie," he screamed, "How can you do tliis? Are you trying to trap me?" I was hurt, but knew he 'd been under a lot of stress, so I just thought he was having . a bad day. A month later, I got a call from "Megan," one of the athletes that Archie coaches. She said . she was sorry Archie and I were getting divorced and that the two of them had been together for six months. I said she was mistaken, that Archie and I were very happy and expecting a baby. She started crying and hung up. When Archie came home, I·confronted him about the call, and he denied everyt~ing . The next day, he came home with an arrn.load o'f roses and two baby outfits. Two days later, he moved out while I was at work, and took everything, · including my hairbrushes, some jewelry and my diary. · He Ignored all my phone calls, but on our one-year ahniversary, he and Megan l~ft a message on my answering .machine, laughing, saying, "Happy anniversary! We are having a; great time together!" I cried most of the day, and that evening, I had a miscarriage. When I was released from the hospital, I filed for divorce. . I heard that Archie's mother told everyone I'd had an abortion and "threw ¥chie out for no reason." It's been hard to keep my chin up when I am mourning the loss of my marriage ard my baby. I've been in counseling, but it doesn 't seem to help. I don't want to grow into a bitter old woman. Friends have told me to start dating again, but I can't imagine doing that when I thought Archie was "the one" and he turned out to be so horrible. What can I do?

Summer in Ohio comes with many time-honored traditions and staples, from county fairs and local festi vals to our great amusemenl parks and other destinations. Another summer attraction tiJat is building in popularity comes from our state's rich agricultural base. I'm talking abont farm· ers' markets. These come in many different shapes and sizes - Ohio has about 600 farm markets, roadside mar· kets, farmers' markets and pick-your-own produce vendors. In today 's society of speed and convenience, where "super centers" are the norm, it would seem that farmers' markets would be a tough sale. Instead, markets are growing almost faster than the produce you can buy there. Ohio is home to a broad array of locally grown pro· duce, including apples, many types of berries, beans, sweet corn, tomatoes and much more. At a market, you can buy some of these foods just hours. even minutes, after they welt picked. At some markets, you might even find dairy products, farm-raised meat, honey, fresh baked goods, potted farmers' markets may be a great alternative to the supermarket. When you buy directly from the grower, you get the freshest produce possible, plus you have an opportunity to learn about the product and get advice for storing and preparing it. Markets also provide an excellent opportunity for socializat ion and exercise, especially the pick-yourown types of markets. Wide open outdoor mar. kets - often hosted in parks, fairgrounds and parking lots - can sometimes be easier to navigate than supermarket aisles for peo-· pie with physical limila· tions. They are also less flashy and tend to have · fewer ads, · ~isplay s and music that may distract people with sensory issues. In addition, many senior and community centers and local transportation authorities offer free or low-cost transportation to and from farmers' markets. Most of the fanners who sell produce at markets are small farm operators who work and manage their own operations and return much of the money they earn into the local economy. Plus, many merchants are themselves seniors.

Summer in Ohio comes with many time-honored traditions and staples, from county fairs and local festi vals to our great amusemenl parks and other destinations. Another summer attraction tiJat is building in popularity comes from our state's rich agricultural base. I'm talking abont farm· ers' markets. These come in many different shapes and sizes - Ohio has about 600 farm markets, roadside mar· kets, farmers' markets and pick-your-own produce vendors. In today 's society of speed and convenience, where "super centers" are the norm, it would seem that farmers' markets would be a tough sale. Instead, markets are growing almost faster than the produce you can buy there. Ohio is home to a broad array of locally grown pro· duce, including apples, many types of berries, beans, sweet corn, tomatoes and much more. At a market, you can buy some of these foods just hours. even minutes, after they welt picked. At some markets, you might even find dairy products, farm-raised meat, honey, fresh baked goods, potted farmers' markets may be a great alternative to the supermarket. When you buy directly from the grower, you get the freshest produce possible, plus you have an opportunity to learn about the product and get advice for storing and preparing it. Markets also provide an excellent opportunity for socializat ion and exercise, especially the pick-yourown types of markets. Wide open outdoor mar. kets - often hosted in parks, fairgrounds and parking lots - can sometimes be easier to navigate than supermarket aisles for peo-· pie with physical limila· tions. They are also less flashy and tend to have · fewer ads, · ~isplay s and music that may distract people with sensory issues. In addition, many senior and community centers and local transportation authorities offer free or low-cost transportation to and from farmers' markets. Most of the fanners who sell produce at markets are small farm operators who work and manage their own operations and return much of the money they earn into the local economy. Plus, many merchants are themselves seniors.

FAMILY MEDICINE Today's Forecast Clty/Rejjlon High t low temps Forecast for Thursday, May 31 ·' A second-degree burn produces, deeper skin dama~e. Blist:crs occur as does pam. Even air blowing across this type of burn is painful. The healing usually takes two or .three weeks and a permanent mild scar or change in skin color may result. A third-degree burn damages all the layers of skin. Touching a new third-degree burn with slight pressure may give some discomfort, but it's nothing like the sheer agony thanhis would produce if it was a less severe second degree burn. Healing takes many weeks and always produces a scar. As a general guideline, if your burn doesn't seem·any worse than a mild sunburn, you can probably take .care of it yourself. Protect the skin. Stay oul of the sun and take aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the discomfort . Don't put butter or other "gooey'' substances on the burn. There are several non' prescription "sun- burn" lotions and sprays that are soothing, but they will not hasten the healing of damaged skin. If you feel sick because of · the burn or if it covers a large percentage of your body, you should see your doctor. More severe burns with immediate blistering or blackening of the skin should have a doctor 's attemion today - don't wait until next week. Deep burns over a large amount of the body surface can · be immediately life-threatening and require prompt hospitalization. The best way to treat a bum is to .prevent it. Here are two tips that will help you avoid having to, deal with the pain of sunburn again: · First, avoid being outdoors during the pans of the day' when the sun's rays are the most direct between about I 0 a.m. and 2 p.m. Second, Wheq you go outside during the day, put a [ijlmber 15, or higher, 89' 163' Youngstown o 86' 160' Dayton• ~ *Columbus -l")t-.., t:____:) 86' t tl4' t:__:) 88' t 63' ., Cincinnati 0 i 88' t 58' ~ t:____:) Portsmouth • 86' I 61 ' @2007 ~ ·c ______~ Cloudy· -a--~1·..-',.:,:,....., P ~ ~ "Y '· Cloudy ~, __ ~ , ,,,, Showers Thunder-~ Flurries ~.. . · storms ~ ~ Renting Spaces!!!

The man, who is under the first U.S. governmentordered quarantine since 1963, told a newspaper he flew from Atlanta to Greece for a wedding and then traveled to Italy for a honeymoon. Later he flew back to North America because he feared he might die without treatment in the United States. CDC officials are concentrating on the trans-Atlantic flights, when the likelihood of spreading the disease was greatest because he was in a confined space with other people for hours. Officials were trying to contact 27 . crew members and about 80 passengers who sat in the five rows surrounding the man for testing. Other passeng(/'rs on the flights are not considered at high risk of infection because tests indicated the amount of TB bacteria in the man was low, Cetron said. "Our big concern is that no one has told us which row he might have sat on," passenger Shannon B(Jccard, whose 10-year-old son was on the same flight, told WSB-TV in Atlanta. Health officials in France have asked Air. FranceKLM for passenger lists, and the Italian Health J\:1in'istry also is tracing the man's- movements. A spokeswoman for Czech auline CSA said medical c)lecks showed no infections among its crew members who flew with the man, hut the airline was contacting passengers. · The m·an had a supply of masks to wear for the protection of other passengers, but it is not clear whether he donned them, Cetron said.

Come and Join Us for Our PageA7 The Daily .Sentinel AP MEDICAL WRITER A sunburn is a real bum - .·treatment depends on severity Question: I was working outside the other day and managed to get a sunburn. It has peeled and now I'm fine, but why does a burn hurt so much? Is it best to put medicine on a sunburn or to let it "air?" Answer: The skin is the . largest and some say the · most important organ of the body. It protects us from injury and helps maintain the ideal environment for the body's cells. A sunburn is produced when sunlight damages the deeper growing layers of the skin, The resulting irritation to the skin, blood vessels, and associated tissue causes the inflammation we call a sunburn . The skin is rich with nerve endings that keep us informed about the environment around us - feeling the size, shape and texture of everyday objects. sensing temperature and pain . When we get a sunburn. the skin inflammation stimulates these nerve' cells and they say "OUCH 1" That is why a . sunburn hurts. The label "sunburn'' only tt;lls that the damage came from being out in the sun, not the extent of the injury. The' health problems associated with burns are related to the amount of skin . involved, the depth of burn, the individual's age and preexisting health conditions, such as diabetes, that may be prese nt. Whether the burn was produced by the .sun, boiling water, chemical injury · or other cause is much less important. A mild sunburn is typically painful with or without . being touched, The ".>unburned" look and discomfon improve- after two or three days. The dead, damaged skin usually peels ol'f in a week or two. Thrs type of bum is referred to as a superficial, or first-degree, burn.· . , . : MIAMI - Water levels in dried-out Lake Okeechobee dropped Wednesday to match a.historic low set in 200 I, while firefighters battled a blaze burning on part of t~e exposed lake bottom. · The South Florida Water Management · District expected the record of 8.97 feet from May 24, 200 I, to evaporate by Thursday as \ the region's worst known drought• continues. The a;verage water level for this time of year should be around 13 feet in the second-largest freshwater lake in the contiguous United States. The 12,000-acre fire staned Monday in the vegetation left to dry in the sun as the lake waters receded from its northwest rim, said ~elissa Yunas, a spokeswoman for the Florida ·Division of Forestry. "It happens when the lake dries out," Yunas said. "AJI tile water is not 'there. Now it's just vegetation, all dried out, just sitting on the side of the lake." The cause of the fire was unknown. It was about 50 percent contained, but only separated from a Lakeport RV park by a canal, Yunas said. No evacuations had been ordered. Lake Okeechobee is the primary backup drinking water reservoir for 5 million people in South Florida durmg dry periods an.d the lifeblood of the Everglades. Water officials warn that the lower the lake levels drop, the less likely it is that summer rains will sufficiently refill it to meet water demands during the next dry season. . "The Everglades are also in a drought. We've totally lost the backup for the water supply for the east coast" of Florida, said Carol Wehle, executive director of the water management district. ''The well fields that provide the drinking w.ater in dry periods use water out of the Everglades. That water is not available, so those. well fields are totally dependent on the rainfall at this point," she said. An above-average rainy season is needed to replenish the lake and South Florida's groundwater system, officials said. Only about 7-8 inches of rain have fallen on the region in the last five months, about half of normal totals. No significant rainfall was expected over the lake or the Kissimmee River valley to its north before Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service. . The continuing drought has forced stringent water restrictions on homes, businesses and agriculture in 13 counties, and four coastal wells were closed to prevent saltwater contamination. The drought has allowed officials to begin clearing 500,000 cubic yards of rotted plant life and sediment from the southwest portion of the 730-square-mile lake to return its bottom to a more sandy base, improve water quality and restore . ·wildlife habitat.

FAMILY MEDICINE Today's Forecast Clty/Rejjlon High t low temps Forecast for Thursday, May 31 ·' A second-degree burn produces, deeper skin dama~e. Blist:crs occur as does pam. Even air blowing across this type of burn is painful. The healing usually takes two or .three weeks and a permanent mild scar or change in skin color may result. A third-degree burn damages all the layers of skin. Touching a new third-degree burn with slight pressure may give some discomfort, but it's nothing like the sheer agony thanhis would produce if it was a less severe second degree burn. Healing takes many weeks and always produces a scar. As a general guideline, if your burn doesn't seem·any worse than a mild sunburn, you can probably take .care of it yourself. Protect the skin. Stay oul of the sun and take aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the discomfort . Don't put butter or other "gooey'' substances on the burn. There are several non' prescription "sun- burn" lotions and sprays that are soothing, but they will not hasten the healing of damaged skin. If you feel sick because of · the burn or if it covers a large percentage of your body, you should see your doctor. More severe burns with immediate blistering or blackening of the skin should have a doctor 's attemion today - don't wait until next week. Deep burns over a large amount of the body surface can · be immediately life-threatening and require prompt hospitalization. The best way to treat a bum is to .prevent it.

Passengers lists for those flights were also being tracked down, they said. ·"The investigation is just · beginning. It's very challenging," said Dr. Martin Cetron, director of the Centers for Disease Contro.l and Prevention's · division of . global migration and quarantine. The man, who is under the first U.S. governmentordered quarantine since 1963, told a newspaper he flew from Atlanta to Greece for a wedding and then traveled to Italy for a honeymoon. Later he flew back to North America because he feared he might die without treatment in the United States. CDC officials are concentrating on the trans-Atlantic flights, when the likelihood of spreading the disease was greatest because he was in a confined space with other people for hours.

Come and Join Us for Our PageA7 The Daily .Sentinel AP MEDICAL WRITER A sunburn is a real bum - .·treatment depends on severity Question: I was working outside the other day and managed to get a sunburn. It has peeled and now I'm fine, but why does a burn hurt so much? Is it best to put medicine on a sunburn or to let it "air?" Answer: The skin is the . largest and some say the · most important organ of the body. It protects us from injury and helps maintain the ideal environment for the body's cells. A sunburn is produced when sunlight damages the deeper growing layers of the skin, The resulting irritation to the skin, blood vessels, and associated tissue causes the inflammation we call a sunburn . The skin is rich with nerve endings that keep us informed about the environment around us - feeling the size, shape and texture of everyday objects. sensing temperature and pain . When we get a sunburn. the skin inflammation stimulates these nerve' cells and they say "OUCH 1" That is why a . sunburn hurts. The label "sunburn'' only tt;lls that the damage came from being out in the sun, not the extent of the injury. The' health problems associated with burns are related to the amount of skin . involved, the depth of burn, the individual's age and preexisting health conditions, such as diabetes, that may be prese nt. Whether the burn was produced by the .sun, boiling water, chemical injury · or other cause is much less important. A mild sunburn is typically painful with or without . being touched, The ".>unburned" look and discomfon improve- after two or three days. The dead, damaged skin usually peels ol'f in a week or two. Thrs type of bum is referred to as a superficial, or first-degree, burn.· . , . : MIAMI - Water levels in dried-out Lake Okeechobee dropped Wednesday to match a.historic low set in 200 I, while firefighters battled a blaze burning on part of t~e exposed lake bottom. · The South Florida Water Management · District expected the record of 8.97 feet from May 24, 200 I, to evaporate by Thursday as \ the region's worst known drought• continues. The a;verage water level for this time of year should be around 13 feet in the second-largest freshwater lake in the contiguous United States. The 12,000-acre fire staned Monday in the vegetation left to dry in the sun as the lake waters receded from its northwest rim, said ~elissa Yunas, a spokeswoman for the Florida ·Division of Forestry. "It happens when the lake dries out," Yunas said. "AJI tile water is not 'there. Now it's just vegetation, all dried out, just sitting on the side of the lake." The cause of the fire was unknown. It was about 50 percent contained, but only separated from a Lakeport RV park by a canal, Yunas said. No evacuations had been ordered. Lake Okeechobee is the primary backup drinking water reservoir for 5 million people in South Florida durmg dry periods an.d the lifeblood of the Everglades. Water officials warn that the lower the lake levels drop, the less likely it is that summer rains will sufficiently refill it to meet water demands during the next dry season. . "The Everglades are also in a drought. We've totally lost the backup for the water supply for the east coast" of Florida, said Carol Wehle, executive director of the water management district. ''The well fields that provide the drinking w.ater in dry periods use water out of the Everglades. That water is not available, so those. well fields are totally dependent on the rainfall at this point," she said. An above-average rainy season is needed to replenish the lake and South Florida's groundwater system, officials said. Only about 7-8 inches of rain have fallen on the region in the last five months, about half of normal totals. No significant rainfall was expected over the lake or the Kissimmee River valley to its north before Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service. . The continuing drought has forced stringent water restrictions on homes, businesses and agriculture in 13 counties, and four coastal wells were closed to prevent saltwater contamination. The drought has allowed officials to begin clearing 500,000 cubic yards of rotted plant life and sediment from the southwest portion of the 730-square-mile lake to return its bottom to a more sandy base, improve water quality and restore . ·wildlife habitat.

Mich. (A P) - In each of his five seasons with the Detroit Pistons, Chauncey Billups has made a number of clutch shots lat'e in . games to help them at least reach the Eastern Conference finals . The 2004 NBA finals MVP has a knack for making 3-pointers on the fast break or in halfcoun sets, dribbling and bumping his way into the lane for shots. But Billups seemed to be at his worst when Detroit needed him most in Game 4 against LeBron James and · the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bill \Ips missed a:ll three of his shots in the founh quarter and had . orily one assist to go with three turnovers in Cleveland's series-evening 91-87 victory Tuesday.

In the series, Billups is averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 assists and 5.5 turnovers. , He scored about 20 points a game and contributed seven assists with just two turnovers a game in the first two rounds. Billups shrugged off his n:cent struggles and those of his team, heading into Game 5 on Thursday night at horne. "I don't see the ·situation as being that bad," he said. "It's 2-2, these are the Eastern Conference finals. We have three games left. - . two of them at our place." .

Monday night . at The Palace of Auburn Hills. "For us to win the series, we have to win a game here ," Cleveland center Zydrunas llgau skas said when the team arrived at their hotel in suburban Detroit.

Cleveland is averaging 14.5 points in the third quaner while Detroit is scoring nearly 22. "That third quarter is going to catch up to . us sooner or later and I don 't know what we're going to do about it," James said . "We'll have to put our finger on it some way. But we got stops down the stretch and executed on the offensive end and made big shots and that's what it's about." James was 4-of-6 from the field and made all five of his free throws in the fourth quarter of Game 4 and llis teammates vindicated his decisions to defer. Rookie Daniel Gibson, playing an increased role because Larry Hughes is injured, scored a seasonhigh 21 points and Drew Gooden )lad a series-high 19 points. "It's not just a one-man show," Billups said. When James does decide to takeover, it is a pretty good show. The 22-year-old - who has surpassed unprecedented hype- was questioned and criticized when he passed up a shot and missed one in the closing seconds of Games 1 and 2 to help Detroit escape with wins. After averaging 14.5 points and making barely one-third of his :shots in the first two . games, James answered the hard-to- please crowd when the series shifted to Cleveland. In Game 3. he scored 12 of hi s 32 points in the founh quaner.

BY BRAD SHERMAN ;BSHERMANOMYPAILYTRIBUNE.COM COLUMBUS - Go for broke. · It's an expression much older than they are, but the ypung Gallia Academy Blue Angels are buying into it. "Go for broke means give everything you have, and lc;ave it on the track everyt'hing," explained head coach Rick Howell. "It's on our T-shins -· of course all of them ask 'what's that mean?' "It's a 60's thing," he said with a chuckle. And it will serve as the battle cry for Gallia Academy this weekend, as the girls return to the State Track and Field Meet at Jesse Otvens Stadium in Columbus. Preliminaries are nin Friday wit'h t'he finals on Saturday. The Blue Angels enter the meet with a lot of momentum, having won championships in their last three meets. Gallia Academy captured the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championship · before dominating both the district and regional meets in t'he postseason. But ·coaches Howell · and Piml Close hope that the best is yet to come. .'The times are getting bet: ter, and hopefully this week, we come to a peak because that ·is our training goal," Howell said. "We have met t'hat goal so far because last week we ran the best times of the year," Close added. "The girls are nientally focused, they are ready to go, they are ready to rock n' roll." The Gallia girls have certainly made a lot of noise in Columbus before. It's a return to t'he scene of the program's greatest feat, as it finished runner-up as a team in Division II last season. Felicia Close, coach Paul Close's daughter, also won an individual state title in the I00-meter hurdles a . year ago. . . Some faces are the same and some are new this time around, but all are still relatively new to t'he experience. Three sophomores and three freshmen will fill nine events as the Blue Angels again aim for a state championship. Sophomore Alexis Geiger and freshman Brea Close will each · be competing in four events this weekend. The team's other frosh, Kara Jackson, will have three events while Tonia Logan will run in a pair of rel,ays. Lauren Adkins and Lee Ann Townsend will have a distance race apiece on Saturday. · In all, the Angels will have the opportunity to score points in one more event than last season. The Gallia Academy coaching staff is optimistic about making another push for the top five in the state - possibly even better. "I think we can be in the top five - . considering we don't drop a baton, or we don't go out there and not do our best," Howell said. "Within those first five places, it's up . in the air. We're just going to have to go out there · and perform, and if we perform the way . we think we can, then it will take care of itself and we will be where we want to be." And . of course, for the team to do well, indi victuals have to. do well. One df Gallia Academy's top threats to bring home an individual state title is Geiger in the long jump. She enters the event with the second !ongest qualifying distance m the state. "She's right there,, and wit'h a few technical corrections t'hat we've been working on, as far as just getting her lt;gs extended, she should jump ·well," commented coach Close. Geiger will also run the Spurs heading back to NBA finals SAN ANTONIO (AP) Tim Duncan and Tony Parker wasted no time showing how serious the San Antonio Spurs were about getting back into the NBA finals - immediately.

Billups shrugged off his n:cent struggles and those of his team, heading into Game 5 on Thursday night at horne. "I don't see the ·situation as being that bad," he said.

But we got stops down the stretch and executed on the offensive end and made big shots and that's what it's about." James was 4-of-6 from the field and made all five of his free throws in the fourth quarter of Game 4 and llis teammates vindicated his decisions to defer. Rookie Daniel Gibson, playing an increased role because Larry Hughes is injured, scored a seasonhigh 21 points and Drew Gooden )lad a series-high 19 points. "It's not just a one-man show," Billups said. When James does decide to takeover, it is a pretty good show. The 22-year-old - who has surpassed unprecedented hype- was questioned and criticized when he passed up a shot and missed one in the closing seconds of Games 1 and 2 to help Detroit escape with wins.

BY BRAD SHERMAN ;BSHERMANOMYPAILYTRIBUNE.COM COLUMBUS - Go for broke. · It's an expression much older than they are, but the ypung Gallia Academy Blue Angels are buying into it. "Go for broke means give everything you have, and lc;ave it on the track everyt'hing," explained head coach Rick Howell. "It's on our T-shins -· of course all of them ask 'what's that mean?' "It's a 60's thing," he said with a chuckle. And it will serve as the battle cry for Gallia Academy this weekend, as the girls return to the State Track and Field Meet at Jesse Otvens Stadium in Columbus. Preliminaries are nin Friday wit'h t'he finals on Saturday. The Blue Angels enter the meet with a lot of momentum, having won championships in their last three meets. Gallia Academy captured the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League championship · before dominating both the district and regional meets in t'he postseason. But ·coaches Howell · and Piml Close hope that the best is yet to come. .'The times are getting bet: ter, and hopefully this week, we come to a peak because that ·is our training goal," Howell said. "We have met t'hat goal so far because last week we ran the best times of the year," Close added. "The girls are nientally focused, they are ready to go, they are ready to rock n' roll." The Gallia girls have certainly made a lot of noise in Columbus before. It's a return to t'he scene of the program's greatest feat, as it finished runner-up as a team in Division II last season. Felicia Close, coach Paul Close's daughter, also won an individual state title in the I00-meter hurdles a . year ago. . . Some faces are the same and some are new this time around, but all are still relatively new to t'he experience. Three sophomores and three freshmen will fill nine events as the Blue Angels again aim for a state championship. Sophomore Alexis Geiger and freshman Brea Close will each · be competing in four events this weekend. The team's other frosh, Kara Jackson, will have three events while Tonia Logan will run in a pair of rel,ays. Lauren Adkins and Lee Ann Townsend will have a distance race apiece on Saturday. · In all, the Angels will have the opportunity to score points in one more event than last season. The Gallia Academy coaching staff is optimistic about making another push for the top five in the state - possibly even better. "I think we can be in the top five - . considering we don't drop a baton, or we don't go out there and not do our best," Howell said. "Within those first five places, it's up . in the air. We're just going to have to go out there · and perform, and if we perform the way . we think we can, then it will take care of itself and we will be where we want to be." And . of course, for the team to do well, indi victuals have to. do well. One df Gallia Academy's top threats to bring home an individual state title is Geiger in the long jump. She enters the event with the second !ongest qualifying distance m the state. "She's right there,, and wit'h a few technical corrections t'hat we've been working on, as far as just getting her lt;gs extended, she should jump ·well," commented coach Close.

Which leads into Friday's state semifinal, where the Green and White have the slowest time of any of the qualifiers left in Division III.

DUBLIN (AP) - Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus were side by side · on the . practice range Wednesday, the two most prolific inajor ·champions in golf who looked nothing alike except for the sweat pouring off their faces on a steamy day at Muirfield Village. Nicklaus was warming up (or the pro-am, the clos. est .he gets to competition these days. Woods was shaking off rust as he tries to win for the fourth time this year, with one eye on the U.S. Open in two weeks. There are amazing parallels in their careers, from green jackets at Augusta National to the two claret · jugs at St. Andrews. They were the youngest of their eras to complete the career Grand Slam. Both were 30 when their fathers died, and both went on to win the British Open that summer. Perhaps the most glaring difference was their rivals. Nicklaus had rivals with staying power that stretched over two decades; from Arnold Palmer to Gary Player, Lee Trevino to Tom Watson. Woods' rival's seem to come and go like fashion. trends - David Duval in 1999, Phil Mickelson in 200 I, Ernie Els in 2002, Vijay Singh in 2004, nobody in 2000. After his pro-am. round at the Memorial, Wood s recalled talking to Nicklaus about rivalries .. "He said that as long · as you' re part of the conversation over 20 years," Woods said with a smile, "then you ' re doing all right." Mickelson has joined the conversation again. A .week after Woods won the Wachovia Championship, Mickel son won The Players Championship. They are 12 in the world ranking and on the PGA Tour money list. Both return to action this week at the Memorial, which has a I07 -man field with the focus squarely on two players. "He's playing better, no doubt about that," Woods said. Mickelson has 31 victories on the PGA Tour - no one has more. a,rnong active players except Woods and now is working with Butch Harmon, the celebrated swi ng coach who refined and then retooled Woods' swing at the start of his career. Of all the rivalries Woods has faced, this is the most natural, even he says that his biggest rival is himself. " I keep pushing myself pretty hard regardless," he said. "I always try and get better. You can't stay stagnant ·in any sport. You've always got to keep getting better, because you know the guys are training harder; they 're refining their game." Asked about their renewed rivalry, Mickelson said it was flattering. "To me, anyway," he quickly added. "Probably not to him, but it's flattering to me." · . Mickelson began working . with ·Harmon right before the. Byron Nelson Championship at the end of April, and the results have been on the upswing. He was third at the Nelson, third at Wachovia and won Players. With .the U.S. Open approaching, former U.S. Open champion Johnny Miller gives Mickelson the edge. . "I believe he's the favorite right now," Miller said Wednesday. "Give me Tiger or Phil right now, I'll take Phil." Mickelson was on top of his game a year ago, coming off his second Masters title, with Woods t)lking two months off to cope with the death of his father. The He .had a one~ shot .lead going into the final hole at Winged Foot, only to make double bogey and lose by one. Woods, who had missed the cut, won the next two majors, and the search was on for another rival. · )Mickelson doesn 't waste much time studying the world ranking, because the gap is more of a chasm; Woods is likely to hold down the No. I position the rest of the year no matter what Lefty can accomplish. And even smaller goals - Mickelson has never won a money title or player of the year - will take some extraordinary achievements. "We' re talking about probably the best pla:r,er of all time," Mickelson said. ''I'm working haid. I think it's going to take some time for me to get ultimately where I wanted to be, as far as where I want my swing to be, as far as where I want my ball-striking to be and my misses. But I'm certainly optimistic with the early success that I've had." He would like to find more at Muirfield Village, which has an impressive roll call of winners. Woods won three straight times at the turn of the decade ~ Other past champions include Ernie Els, Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk. · "A lot of great players have wort this tournament. I have not," Mickelson said. "I think it's one of the tour events that I would very much like to win." That would ratchet the ri.valry up another . notch, and Nicklaus wouldn't mind seeing that. He was asked earlier in the week if it would be better for golf to have someone measure up to Woods. "If somebody can play well," Nicklaus that replied. "That's all it amounts to." m:rtbune - Sentinel - l\egtster CLASSIFIED . Meigs County, OH .

DUBLIN (AP) - Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus were side by side · on the . practice range Wednesday, the two most prolific inajor ·champions in golf who looked nothing alike except for the sweat pouring off their faces on a steamy day at Muirfield Village. Nicklaus was warming up (or the pro-am, the clos. est .he gets to competition these days. Woods was shaking off rust as he tries to win for the fourth time this year, with one eye on the U.S. Open in two weeks. There are amazing parallels in their careers, from green jackets at Augusta National to the two claret · jugs at St. Andrews. They were the youngest of their eras to complete the career Grand Slam. Both were 30 when their fathers died, and both went on to win the British Open that summer. Perhaps the most glaring difference was their rivals. Nicklaus had rivals with staying power that stretched over two decades; from Arnold Palmer to Gary Player, Lee Trevino to Tom Watson. Woods' rival's seem to come and go like fashion. trends - David Duval in 1999, Phil Mickelson in 200 I, Ernie Els in 2002, Vijay Singh in 2004, nobody in 2000. After his pro-am. round at the Memorial, Wood s recalled talking to Nicklaus about rivalries .. "He said that as long · as you' re part of the conversation over 20 years," Woods said with a smile, "then you ' re doing all right." Mickelson has joined the conversation again. A .week after Woods won the Wachovia Championship, Mickel son won The Players Championship. They are 12 in the world ranking and on the PGA Tour money list. Both return to action this week at the Memorial, which has a I07 -man field with the focus squarely on two players. "He's playing better, no doubt about that," Woods said. Mickelson has 31 victories on the PGA Tour - no one has more. a,rnong active players except Woods and now is working with Butch Harmon, the celebrated swi ng coach who refined and then retooled Woods' swing at the start of his career. Of all the rivalries Woods has faced, this is the most natural, even he says that his biggest rival is himself. " I keep pushing myself pretty hard regardless," he said. "I always try and get better. You can't stay stagnant ·in any sport. You've always got to keep getting better, because you know the guys are training harder; they 're refining their game." Asked about their renewed rivalry, Mickelson said it was flattering. "To me, anyway," he quickly added. "Probably not to him, but it's flattering to me." · . Mickelson began working . with ·Harmon right before the. Byron Nelson Championship at the end of April, and the results have been on the upswing. He was third at the Nelson, third at Wachovia and won Players. With .the U.S. Open approaching, former U.S. Open champion Johnny Miller gives Mickelson the edge. . "I believe he's the favorite right now," Miller said Wednesday. "Give me Tiger or Phil right now, I'll take Phil." Mickelson was on top of his game a year ago, coming off his second Masters title, with Woods t)lking two months off to cope with the death of his father. The He .had a one~ shot .lead going into the final hole at Winged Foot, only to make double bogey and lose by one. Woods, who had missed the cut, won the next two majors, and the search was on for another rival. · )Mickelson doesn 't waste much time studying the world ranking, because the gap is more of a chasm; Woods is likely to hold down the No. I position the rest of the year no matter what Lefty can accomplish. And even smaller goals - Mickelson has never won a money title or player of the year - will take some extraordinary achievements. "We' re talking about probably the best pla:r,er of all time," Mickelson said. ''I'm working haid. I think it's going to take some time for me to get ultimately where I wanted to be, as far as where I want my swing to be, as far as where I want my ball-striking to be and my misses. But I'm certainly optimistic with the early success that I've had." He would like to find more at Muirfield Village, which has an impressive roll call of winners. Woods won three straight times at the turn of the decade ~ Other past champions include Ernie Els, Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk. · "A lot of great players have wort this tournament. I have not," Mickelson said. "I think it's one of the tour events that I would very much like to win." That would ratchet the ri.valry up another . notch, and Nicklaus wouldn't mind seeing that. He was asked earlier in the week if it would be better for golf to have someone measure up to Woods. "If somebody can play well," Nicklaus that replied. "That's all it amounts to." m:rtbune - Sentinel - l\egtster CLASSIFIED . Meigs County, OH .

Schulz, wtto put bridge irtto a number of his f'll110uts cartoons, said, ' Doo'l worry aboul the world corning to an end loday. fl's already lontO/Tow in Australia." Each deal must come to an end - and this one featu res a pretly endplay. Can you see how lo accomplish it? You are South, the declarer in spades. West leads the club king. · North's bidding Is unscientific and a tad optimistic, since· he lacks so many queens. Note. tliougi, !hal wtJen North 'lollowed four no-trump with five notrump, he announced !hat hie partnership had all four aces and that a grand slam was ' possib!e. Wrth a minimum opening bid, South showed his king, but if he had had considerable unannour'(:ed values, he oould have leap! immediately to seven, no! pe<leslrianly • shown his king. · Mirror distribution, when both hands have identical suit lengths, is olton fatal. Bul here you can survive, despite two apparentlpaers: one heart aitd one club. Take !he first Irick, draw trumps, cash your three diamond winners, and exrt wilh a dub.

Oobur'llrthdlr~ Frld.y, June 1, 2007 By Bernice Bede O.ot All those good seeds you've SOW'n up until now hav9 taken root, and they will be sprouting a good harvest. You'll find the marXet has a need for what you've so patiently nurtured and grown. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)- Be axceptio~any selective regarding who you go to. for advice. Gems of wisdom from the wrong type of advisers could unexpectedly turn out to be. Iooi's gold Instead of precious metal. CANCER (June 21-July 22)- Whatlittla you finish Is apt to be done quite -well . However, the problem is that you're likely to lea\te projects hall done, despite start· lng oo enthusiastically. LEO (J uly 23-Aug. 22) - A well-Intentioned friend who quite frequentty gets involved in foolish undertakings or ventures may try to te!l1)1 you Into taking a plunge with him o.r her. Do nothing Impulsively. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)- Time could turn out to be your best ally. So take plenty ol it to research all the facts before acting on a matter, especially if It is of an expensive commercial nature. LIBRA iSept 23-0ct. 23) - H you find yourself geuirlg off to a bad start regard· ing the operation. of an unfamiliar piece ol equipment, stop and immediately get instructions. Don't pretend to ul'lderstand it If you don't. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov. 22) - Broad swings in your financial affairs are quite· possible and could put you in a dither. Take your losses and walk away until you see lhings settling down again. SAGITIARIUS (Nov. 23-Dee. 2t) You'1e likely to be quite tolerant and understanding of any infraction by an outsider. But when you let a family member do something far less offensive, you'll come down on him 01 her heavily. CAPRI CORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Be wary ot someone who is a bit too wiling to do you a favor because there could be hidden strings attached. Before accepting his or her offer, take plenty of time to check it out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Steer clear of cliques where the members are more concerned wlth what you have than who you are. Once you recognize their phoniness, you'll not want anything to do with them. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Your ideas could win you the approval of oth· ers. Accept the accolades and move on. II you keep pushing lor more pats on the back, their acceptance could turn to rejection. ARIES (March 21-Aprlll9)- You'll be a very pleasant and fun person to be around , but sadly onty as long aa others are In acccrd with your Ideas. When you encounter some opposition, you could .suddenly turn testy. TAURUS (Aprii20·May 20)- Above all, you muat be consttntly vigilant tn conductlng,your commtrcla1atfall1. With tht lllghttal amount of tndlfftrenct or 911'8· le~aneea, you could quickly lolt all that you've getntd.

Each deal must come to an end - and this one featu res a pretly endplay. Can you see how lo accomplish it? You are South, the declarer in spades. West leads the club king. · North's bidding Is unscientific and a tad optimistic, since· he lacks so many queens. Note. tliougi, !hal wtJen North 'lollowed four no-trump with five notrump, he announced !hat hie partnership had all four aces and that a grand slam was ' possib!e. Wrth a minimum opening bid, South showed his king, but if he had had considerable unannour'(:ed values, he oould have leap! immediately to seven, no! pe<leslrianly • shown his king. · Mirror distribution, when both hands have identical suit lengths, is olton fatal. Bul here you can survive, despite two apparentlpaers: one heart aitd one club. Take !he first Irick, draw trumps, cash your three diamond winners, and exrt wilh a dub. West wins wilh his queen ... and does whal? Wesl is en<lplayed. If ha returns a dia- . mond or a dub, you ruff in one hand and discard your heart loser from lhe other. So West is forced to open up hearts. His best lead is the queen, feigning someone who holds !he queen and jack.

Oobur'llrthdlr~ Frld.y, June 1, 2007 By Bernice Bede O.ot All those good seeds you've SOW'n up until now hav9 taken root, and they will be sprouting a good harvest. You'll find the marXet has a need for what you've so patiently nurtured and grown. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)- Be axceptio~any selective regarding who you go to. for advice. Gems of wisdom from the wrong type of advisers could unexpectedly turn out to be. Iooi's gold Instead of precious metal. CANCER (June 21-July 22)- Whatlittla you finish Is apt to be done quite -well . However, the problem is that you're likely to lea\te projects hall done, despite start· lng oo enthusiastically. LEO (J uly 23-Aug. 22) - A well-Intentioned friend who quite frequentty gets involved in foolish undertakings or ventures may try to te!l1)1 you Into taking a plunge with him o.r her. Do nothing Impulsively. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)- Time could turn out to be your best ally. So take plenty ol it to research all the facts before acting on a matter, especially if It is of an expensive commercial nature. LIBRA iSept 23-0ct. 23) - H you find yourself geuirlg off to a bad start regard· ing the operation. of an unfamiliar piece ol equipment, stop and immediately get instructions. Don't pretend to ul'lderstand it If you don't. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov. 22) - Broad swings in your financial affairs are quite· possible and could put you in a dither. Take your losses and walk away until you see lhings settling down again. SAGITIARIUS (Nov. 23-Dee. 2t) You'1e likely to be quite tolerant and understanding of any infraction by an outsider. But when you let a family member do something far less offensive, you'll come down on him 01 her heavily. CAPRI CORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Be wary ot someone who is a bit too wiling to do you a favor because there could be hidden strings attached. Before accepting his or her offer, take plenty of time to check it out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Steer clear of cliques where the members are more concerned wlth what you have than who you are. Once you recognize their phoniness, you'll not want anything to do with them. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Your ideas could win you the approval of oth· ers. Accept the accolades and move on. II you keep pushing lor more pats on the back, their acceptance could turn to rejection. ARIES (March 21-Aprlll9)- You'll be a very pleasant and fun person to be around , but sadly onty as long aa others are In acccrd with your Ideas. When you encounter some opposition, you could .suddenly turn testy. TAURUS (Aprii20·May 20)- Above all, you muat be consttntly vigilant tn conductlng,your commtrcla1atfall1.

Similar to bird · watching, fox watching requires some patience. The red fox is one of two fox species in O~io and one of four in North America. The state~s other fox is the gray fox. According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the red fox arrived in Ohio in the mid-I 700's and prefers a mixture of forest and open country.

The species is adaptable and can be found in many other habitat types, including the suburbs and now, Beech Grove Cemetery. ' Red foxes eat mice, rats, rabbits, groundhogs and other small mammals; also birds, fruits and grasses. · Adults weigh eight to 15 pounds with a life span of around six to eight years. Although there's no telling how long the fox family will stay in Beec.h Grove, it's likely they'll go their separate ways by fall.

Coming back to the old wives tales, there is one that also says seeing one fox is good luck.
