PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS -The staggering amount of personal information contained on a stolen state computer tape has worried Ohio residents and led Gov. Ted Strickland to call nearly daily briefings since the device was stolen a week ago. But the sheer amount of information- including the names and Social Security numbers of nearly 400,000 people - means that the state employees, taxpayers and others unlucky enough to be on the tape are actually at a very low risk of having their identities stolen, experts said. A company that has studied data breaches said personal informat"ion is at much greater risk when a particular person or small group of people is targeted -- an· everyday occurrence with no public announcement to scare away potential thieves.

The family of a 3-year-old girl is keeping vigil by her hospital bed as they continue to mourn for her mother. Kirian Michelle Williams, 25, of Ashton, was killed Thursday afternoon in a singlecvehicle accident on W.Va. 2 in Glenwood, according to a press release from the Mason County Sheriff's Department. The accident happened around 3:45 p.m. PageA2 The accident happened near the Mason/Cabell county line, Sheriff Scott Simms said. The child was ejected from the vehicle · and was taken to Cabell Huntington Hospital by helicopter. Published reports say the car overturned and · caught fire. Because the accident was so· close to the county line, both Mason and Cabell County emergency personnel responded to the scene. Family friend Ernie · Watterson said the family is Sunday, June 24, alar aCCident keeping vigil near the child at Cabell Huntington Hospital as they mourn the loss of Williams. Senior "Deputy Rob Wilson investigated the accident. Assisting at the scene were members of Valley Volunteer Fire Department, Mason County Emergency Medical Service, Ohio River Road Volunteer Fire Department, Cabell County EMS and the Cabell County Sheriff's Department. Point Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department Evans fonned the company in 1951 with Tim Evans, Emerson Evans, Morris Haskins, C.H. McKenzie and Harland Martin, and retired as the company's president on Dec. 31 , 1986. · Afterward, he devoted his time to wildlife preservation, agriculture, higher education and numerous other subjects. "Bob Evans was truly the h.ometown entrepreneur who fed the nation," said U.S. Rep: Charlie Wilson, whose Sixth District includes Gallia County. "He ' II be remembered for many things including good food,· festivals and for his dedi cation to Ohio. Ohioans. especially those in Gallia County, will mourn his passing," Wilson said. Evans is survived by his wife, Jewell Waters Evans, and five of his six childrr n. Evans from PageA1 also responded as mutual aid to Valley VFD by staffing·· a truck at their station. It was the second accident in which a car caught fire Thursday. A few minutes prior to Williams' accident, Wilson and other deputies with the sheriff's department, along with members of the Point Pleasant VFD and Mason County EMS, were at a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of W.Va. 2 and Crab Creek Road , where a car also caught fire . Bob Evans was loved and will be missed by all who knew him. "His dedication and commitment to the industry helped make Bob Evans Farms the company it is today," added Davis. "He had a real love for the customers, the employees and the restaurants. Throughout his life, he was an idea man.

PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS -The staggering amount of personal information contained on a stolen state computer tape has worried Ohio residents and led Gov. Ted Strickland to call nearly daily briefings since the device was stolen a week ago. But the sheer amount of information- including the names and Social Security numbers of nearly 400,000 people - means that the state employees, taxpayers and others unlucky enough to be on the tape are actually at a very low risk of having their identities stolen, experts said. A company that has studied data breaches said personal informat"ion is at much greater risk when a particular person or small group of people is targeted -- an· everyday occurrence with no public announcement to scare away potential thieves.

The founding fathers set up ·a system that heavily relied upon self-reliance and competition, with 'only a small dose of governmental intrusion. And that means . some people are going to live irresponsibly. But unless they break the law, nobody can stop them. A good example of. this i,s bad parenting. Millions of American parents arc just terrible - routinely abusing and neglecting their children. But unless the abuse is extreme, those children usually remain in the charge of bad parents. It is not against the law to be ignorant or inappropriate in front of your kid. Now there is a move in New York City to bribe bad parents. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has set up an anti-poverty initiative, financed by private donations, including his own, that would pay bad parents to do things that good parents do without thought. For example, if a parent takes a child to the dentist an enormous amount of damage to society in the coming years. If you can even get a small amount of normalcy into their lives, it's better than nothing.

The founding fathers set up ·a system that heavily relied upon self-reliance and competition, with 'only a small dose of governmental intrusion. And that means . some people are going to live irresponsibly. But unless they break the law, nobody can stop them. A good example of. this i,s bad parenting. Millions of American parents arc just terrible - routinely abusing and neglecting their children. But unless the abuse is extreme, those children usually remain in the charge of bad parents. It is not against the law to be ignorant or inappropriate in front of your kid. Now there is a move in New York City to bribe bad parents. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has set up an anti-poverty initiative, financed by private donations, including his own, that would pay bad parents to do things that good parents do without thought. For example, if a parent takes a child to the dentist an enormous amount of damage to society in the coming years. If you can even get a small amount of normalcy into their lives, it's better than nothing.

University trustees on Friday appointed Joseph A. Alutto, dean of the university's Fisher College of Business since 1991, to serve during the search, the university said. "As we continue our presidential search, we are fortunate to have someone of Joe's caliber and experience at the helm of the university," trustees' Chairman Gil Cloyd said.

DAVE HARRIS Thursday Jyne 28 SEATTLE - Greg Oden didn 't . work out . while meeting with the SuperSonics,. on the advice of his agent. That gave .the prized center from Ohio State more time on hiS'first . trip to Seattle. to assess what he's learned during his pre-draft tour of the Northwest.

Although the 7-footer is about to become a millionaire fronr the NBA draft, he was able to go· to the movies Thursday night and have only one person stop him to pose for a picture. • He doesn't mind being considered a franchise savior before he has even played his first NBA game.

You can 't wear that,"' the personable Oden said, after a morning with executives and doc'tors from the SuperSonics, who own the second overall pick in Thursday's draft. His quick trip through Seattle was a contrast to his ballyhooed visit to. Portland . The Blazers, owners of the top pick Thursday, sent players to the airport to meet Oden and encouraged the media to be there, too. Then they put him through an open workout Wednesday that was so vigorous, Oden said he was out of breath.

Kane, a 5-foot-9, 160pound right wing, is a native of Buffalo, N.Y, who scored 62 goals and had 83 assists in 58 games last season with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Kane, rated the No. 2 skater in North America by the NHL Central Scouting Service, is expected to give the Bla-ckhawks, who were 31· 42-9 a year ago, a creative scorer and deft puck-handler. Even before the first pick was· made, it was a busy day, for many teams. - The Toronto Maple Leafs dealt three draft picks - possibly one from Friday's ftrst round- for goalie Vesa Toskala and forward ·Mark Bell. "We're vety happy with the way lhings worked out," Leafs · vice president and gener.il manager John Ferguson said. - The Nashville Predators dealt goaltender Tomas Vokoun to the Florida Panthers for three picks. · - The Blackhawks sent defenseman Adrian Aucoin and a seventh-round selection to Calgary ·for defensemen Andrei Zyuzin and Steve Marr. . In addition, the Pittsburgh Penguins reached agreements with veteran forwards Gary Roberts and Mark Recchi on one-year deals before they could become unrestricted free agents; the Colorado Avalanche signed forward TYler Amason to a two-year deal; Ottawa re-signed for· ward Dean McAnlmond to a multi-year contract; and the San Jose Sharks locked up defenseman Craig Rivet with a four-year deal. · Retires Vrabel - has as many touchdowns with less than 15 career receptions. In . a release issued from the Eagles this past week Bartrum responded. "I can't s.ay enough to show how much I appreci· ate being able to play m the NFL for so many years. Retiring a Philadelphia Eagle is something tbat is very. special to me. The memones I have shared with players, coaches and the Eagles organization are some of the best memories of my life. The passion and support of the Philadelphia fans is something I will take with me wherever I go, and I feel truly blessed for having the opportunity to play in front of them." "Mike Bartrum is one of my all-time favorite guys," Eagle coach Andy Reed said. "He is a true professional on and off the field. He came. to work everyday. with a true love for the game and took . pride in everything he did. His teammates, his coaches, and the rest of. the Eagle organization will miss him. We wish he and his family all the best in the future." The NFL loss is Meigs County and Southeastern Ohio's gain. Mike, with his wife Jennifer, have retried with their four children out· side of Pomeroy. The entire family is active throughout ·the area. doi'Ves.

"They gave us a one-day notice to get peol?le . cross· · countr~ on warrants that weren t even issued yet," attorney Manny Arora said, alleging that 'a criminal complaint wasn't filed until Thursday and that defense lawyers had to prod authorities to tile an arrest warrant so Jones could tum himself in early Friday m01;ning. "It just seems like they're more worried alxiut press releases than the facts of the case,"Arora said. Jones· and two companions are accused of attacking and threatening employees inside the Minxx strip club during NBA All-Star Weekend shortly before someone opened fire outside the club and wounded three people, including a bouncer who was paralyzed. Jones' Las Vegas lawyer, Robert Langford, said the for· ·.mer standout at West Virginia University was. processed courteously at the Clark County jail, and was not physically mistreated. · Police and Clark County District Attorney David Roger did not immediately respond to requests for com· ment on Arora's claims. Officials have insisted that Jones' case was receiving no .SPeCial treatment, despite his celebrity. . Las Vegas police said Jones was booked and released about 2 a.m. A jail booking photo showed he had cut his hair, shedding hts dtstmcttve dreadlocks. Jones immediately flew back to Nashville, Tenn. He was scheduled to return for an initial court appearance around the country and is being sought by Atlanta-area police for questioning in a shooting early Monday after a fight at a strip club there. Arora said he gave DeKalb County investigators proof that Jones left the strip club and was having breakfast at an Atlanta•area Waftle House when the shooting was· ·reported. It was unclear what effect the Las Vegas arrest would have on Jones' playing status. He was suspended by the NFL for the upcoming season due to his many run-ins with the law. League officials had said he might be reinstated after the Titans' lOth regular· season game if he had no "adverse involvement with. law enforcement." .NFL and team officials declined comment Friday. Jones will plead not guilty io two felony charges of coer· cion stemming from allega· lions that he threatened to kill Minxx club employees and that .he bit ·a bar bouncer, his lawyers said. If convicted, the 23-year· old faces a maximum ·of 12 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Langford also represents two people who police say were in Jones' entourage and who face felony charges. Police released a booking photo of Sadia Morrison, 25, of New York, who was arrest· ed after the pre-dawn Feb. 19 fracas, and said she did not have to .surrender Friday. Langford said Robert "Big Rob." Reid, who police have described as Jones' body· guard, was trying to get to Las Vegas to tum himself in. "When it comes to it, they'll plead not guilty," Langford said. Reid, 37, of Compton, Calif., faces one felony coercion charge alleging he attacked a bouncer who tried to restrain Jones. Morrison could face decades in prison if she is convicted of all five charges against her, including coer· cion, felony assault with a deadly weapon and battery.

Kane, a 5-foot-9, 160pound right wing, is a native of Buffalo, N.Y, who scored 62 goals and had 83 assists in 58 games last season with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Kane, rated the No. 2 skater in North America by the NHL Central Scouting Service, is expected to give the Bla-ckhawks, who were 31· 42-9 a year ago, a creative scorer and deft puck-handler. Even before the first pick was· made, it was a busy day, for many teams. - The Toronto Maple Leafs dealt three draft picks - possibly one from Friday's ftrst round- for goalie Vesa Toskala and forward ·Mark Bell. "We're vety happy with the way lhings worked out," Leafs · vice president and gener.il manager John Ferguson said. - The Nashville Predators dealt goaltender Tomas Vokoun to the Florida Panthers for three picks. · - The Blackhawks sent defenseman Adrian Aucoin and a seventh-round selection to Calgary ·for defensemen Andrei Zyuzin and Steve Marr. . In addition, the Pittsburgh Penguins reached agreements with veteran forwards Gary Roberts and Mark Recchi on one-year deals before they could become unrestricted free agents; the Colorado Avalanche signed forward TYler Amason to a two-year deal; Ottawa re-signed for· ward Dean McAnlmond to a multi-year contract; and the San Jose Sharks locked up defenseman Craig Rivet with a four-year deal. · Retires Vrabel - has as many touchdowns with less than 15 career receptions. In . a release issued from the Eagles this past week Bartrum responded. "I can't s.ay enough to show how much I appreci· ate being able to play m the NFL for so many years. Retiring a Philadelphia Eagle is something tbat is very. special to me. The memones I have shared with players, coaches and the Eagles organization are some of the best memories of my life. The passion and support of the Philadelphia fans is something I will take with me wherever I go, and I feel truly blessed for having the opportunity to play in front of them." "Mike Bartrum is one of my all-time favorite guys," Eagle coach Andy Reed said. "He is a true professional on and off the field. He came. to work everyday. with a true love for the game and took . pride in everything he did. His teammates, his coaches, and the rest of. the Eagle organization will miss him. We wish he and his family all the best in the future." The NFL loss is Meigs County and Southeastern Ohio's gain.

"They gave us a one-day notice to get peol?le . cross· · countr~ on warrants that weren t even issued yet," attorney Manny Arora said, alleging that 'a criminal complaint wasn't filed until Thursday and that defense lawyers had to prod authorities to tile an arrest warrant so Jones could tum himself in early Friday m01;ning. "It just seems like they're more worried alxiut press releases than the facts of the case,"Arora said. Jones· and two companions are accused of attacking and threatening employees inside the Minxx strip club during NBA All-Star Weekend shortly before someone opened fire outside the club and wounded three people, including a bouncer who was paralyzed. Jones' Las Vegas lawyer, Robert Langford, said the for· ·.mer standout at West Virginia University was. processed courteously at the Clark County jail, and was not physically mistreated. · Police and Clark County District Attorney David Roger did not immediately respond to requests for com· ment on Arora's claims. Officials have insisted that Jones' case was receiving no .SPeCial treatment, despite his celebrity. . Las Vegas police said Jones was booked and released about 2 a.m. A jail booking photo showed he had cut his hair, shedding hts dtstmcttve dreadlocks. Jones immediately flew back to Nashville, Tenn. He was scheduled to return for an initial court appearance around the country and is being sought by Atlanta-area police for questioning in a shooting early Monday after a fight at a strip club there. Arora said he gave DeKalb County investigators proof that Jones left the strip club and was having breakfast at an Atlanta•area Waftle House when the shooting was· ·reported. It was unclear what effect the Las Vegas arrest would have on Jones' playing status. He was suspended by the NFL for the upcoming season due to his many run-ins with the law. League officials had said he might be reinstated after the Titans' lOth regular· season game if he had no "adverse involvement with. law enforcement." .NFL and team officials declined comment Friday. Jones will plead not guilty io two felony charges of coer· cion stemming from allega· lions that he threatened to kill Minxx club employees and that .he bit ·a bar bouncer, his lawyers said. If convicted, the 23-year· old faces a maximum ·of 12 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Langford also represents two people who police say were in Jones' entourage and who face felony charges. Police released a booking photo of Sadia Morrison, 25, of New York, who was arrest· ed after the pre-dawn Feb. 19 fracas, and said she did not have to .surrender Friday. Langford said Robert "Big Rob." Reid, who police have described as Jones' body· guard, was trying to get to Las Vegas to tum himself in. "When it comes to it, they'll plead not guilty," Langford said. Reid, 37, of Compton, Calif., faces one felony coercion charge alleging he attacked a bouncer who tried to restrain Jones. Morrison could face decades in prison if she is convicted of all five charges against her, including coer· cion, felony assault with a deadly weapon and battery. She was accused o[ hitting a bouncer in the head with a champagne bottle and attacking several other club employees with a chair and a stanchion. Puzzled?

BY BRIAN MAHONEY I>P I ": ' BASKETBALLWRITER LeBron James needed only four years to reach the NBA finals. Tim Duncan was a champion in half that time. So how many seasons wtll it take former Oh10 State center Greg Oden to play for his first title? "I hope one," Oden satd with a smtle during the finals. Not likely, big guy. Oden and Kevin Durant figure to go 1-2 in what shapes up as the strongest draft in years. But they're also hkely headed to the rugged Western Conference, where 50 wins wasn' t good enough to earn home-court advantage in the first round last season. To realize how strong the West was, consider that the Spurs-Cavaliers fin als mtsmatch would have taken place in the first round if Cleveland had been in the other conference. The Cavs'. 50-32 record would 'have been good for sixth place they were second in the East - and given them an opening-round meeting wtth third-seeded San Antonio. So if Portland and Seattle, which own the top two picks in the June 28 draft, are hoping to take a gtant leap, they may need to thtnk again. They might have to settle for small st~ps at first. "People don't understand how good the NBA is. The NBA is hard. It really is," said former Seattle coach Bob Hill, fired before posstbly getting the chance to coach one of the potential can't-miss stars. ''You play 82 games in seven months or stx months and travel, and you play four games in five nights. It's hard. The guys that have to score every night, that's the hardest thin g to do." Durant will be asked to do that, while Oden can probably make a btg enough mark at first with his rebounding and shot blocking. But enough to make the Pactfic Northwest teacns instant contenders? Those skills might not even be enough for either player to make an All-Star team anytime soon out West, whose players occupied all fi ve spots on the Ali-NBA first team. San Antonio's place as a dynasty has been debated since it won a fourth title in nine years, but the Spurs couldn't even get out of the secot;1d round four times during th at span in a co nference that has won seven of the last nine It ties. At 32-50, Portland finished I0 games behind the L\tkers and Golden State Warriors, who grabbed the West's final two playofh spots. And as good as Oden and Durant are; that's a large gap to make up unless they have help. "It takes a lot of components," Cleveland center Zydrunas llgauskas said. "Obviously one guy won 't be able to turn a franchise around, you have to have a good mix of veterans and enough talent. "Guys like LeBron come into the league probably once in 20, 30 years. So to expect those guys to do the same things, it's unfair more than anything to them." AP photo Texas guard Kevrn Durant (35) dunks agamst Oklahoma State dunng the first quarter of their semifina l basketball game at the Btg 12 Conference Tournament in Oklahoma Ctty during this March 10 file photo. Durant 1s one of the top prospects for the NBA Draft, to take place 10 New York on June 28. The Spurs set the standard for one-year turnarounds. San Antonio improved by 35 victories in David Robtnson 's rookie season, and bettered that record wtlh a 36-game jump in Duncan's first season. But Duncan had played four years at Wake Forest, and Robinson was even more mature after serving his two-year military commitment following his playing days at Navy. Oden and Durant, on the other hand, were just finishing up high school this time last year. "I think that would be unfair pressure to put on whatever young kid is drafted in Portland," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said when asked about a San Antonio- type jump. "We all can guess what we think is going to happen, but I believe that the two guy s you're · talking about are like 18 or 19 years old. "When David came out, I don't remember how old he was, but I think he was about 23. He played at the Academy, he played service ball after that. He was very mature already. I think that's a huge difference, emotionally, phystcally - and I don 't think those young men can be put tn that same category as far as being prepared to gt> do that." Ne1ther Portland nor Seattle has to start over, which could make the transition easier. The Trail Blazers have Rookie of the Year Brandon Roy, another promtsing first-year player in LaMarcus Aldndge, and Zach Randolph - though he could be moved if Portland goes for Oden. The SuperSonics have All-Star shootmg guard Ray Allen, but face losing Rashard Lew1s to free agency. Having a good support system in place can make a dtfference. Duncan was able to learn from Robinson, while James was familiar with the Cavs organization after growing up down the road tn Akron. But Kwame· Brown had none of those luxuries, and his career never took off the way a No. I pick's should. Brown was taken first by Washington in 200 I. But he was buried under, not inspired by, Michael Jordan's criticisms, and the Wizards had a winning record only once in his four seasons there. "I've seen a No. I pick in Kwame, I wasn't there when he got there, , but he was around a lot of young guys," said Cleveland guard Larry Hughes, who played for the Wizards. "He wasn't in the best situation as far as being on a winning team or a wmiling orgamzation. So I think it makes it tougher. "LeBron is a talent, I think he was going to make the situation successful anywhere . he went. Tim Duncan came into a pretty good situation where he had veferan guys around him, it kind of made it easier, made the transition a little bit easier. ,So I think anything can happen when you place that No. I pick when you're going to a franchtse that struggled." Oden and Durant figure to be more successful than Brown. Even though never I00 percent while recovering from a broken right wrist, Oden proved he could dominate while leading Ohio State to the national champtonshtp game. Durant averaged .25 .8 pomts at Texas during one of the most outstanding freshman seasons in NCAA history, so he obviously can score. But so can Kobe Bryant, and he managed only 7 6 points per game in his first pro season. ''I'm realistic of my goals," Durant said recently. "I just want to be an impact player in the NBA." He probably will. It just mtght take a whtle.

Hendrick, even if it costs them SEATTLE (AP) - Ken Griffey Jr. turned his cap around backward as he walked into the batting cage. Second swmg, home run eight rows into the bleachers beyond right field. Third swing, a towering drive off a cafe window in the second deck. The loudest batting practice crowd at Safeco Field in years roared. For a moment, it was the 1990s again in Seattle. "Griffey, you the man!" yelled a Mariners fan in the first deck. The man credited with saving baseball in Seattle through majestic home runs, wall-scaling catches and magnetic charisma was back for the first time since forcing the Mariners to trade him to his hometown Cincinnati Reds in 2000. He is 37 now, owner of 582 career home runs entering Friday night's game. "I've had some good times here. Learned to play baseball here," said Griffey, whom the Mariners drafted No. 1 overall in 1987 and put on their opening-day lineup two days later. He stayed there for the next II years. "Being a 19-year-old kid, it was on-the-job training. And the organization here allowed me to be me," he said. Griffey smiled often while keeping his arms crossed in front of him on a table during a press conference before batting practice, and he addressed the crowd in a ceremony on the field just before the start of the game. After worried about getling booed -just as former Mariners slugger Alex Rodriguez has been · for seven years since he bolted to the largest contract m baseball history with the Texas Rangers - Griffey received a roaring, 3 112minute standing ovation from the sellout crowd. "Never did I imagine it would be like this coming back," he satd. "I didn 't know how much I missed being in Seattle." The fans roared again. The Mariners presented Griffey with a framed photo of Safeco Field during the pregame ceremony, with the words "The House that Griffey Built" across the top.

Griffey Jr. never liked being the focus; or speaking about himself. , So it seemed apyropriate on the night Gnffey was honored by the city where he became a star, it was his teammates providing t~ e highhghts. While Griffey was bemg adored by Seaule fans. it was David Ross and Brandon Phillips both httting two homers, and Aaron Harang working eight strong innings in Cincinnati's 16-1 rout of the Manners on Friday. Playing hts first game in Seattle since being traded after the 1999 season, the one-time face of the Mariners organization was received wlth adulation and appreciation from the fans, many of whom dusted off old No. 24 Griffey jerseys for the occasiOn. He was lauded wtth a len~thy standing ovation dunng a pregame ceremony, biting his lip and dipping hts head at limes dunng the applause. It was the polar opposite of the reception Gnffey feared - the boos that accompany Alex Rodriguez's i!llnual return. Harang (8-2) won his third straig~t decision, allowing two futs and an unearned run in eight innings. He struck out seven and only once did Seattle put' more thqn one ,runner on base against him. Notes: Harang has not lost since May 20 at Cleveland (six starts). ... The 46,340 was the sixth-largest regular season crowd in Safeco Field history. · .- The Art of Giving Directions BY JIM FREEMAN SPECIALTO THE SENTINEL The other day I had someone ask me for direction to Star Mtll Park, which we should all know is m the village of Racine. People who know me know I like to give directiOns; first I like to impress people wtth my flawless sense of dtrection, second and more important, it is one of the few occasions I have to tell someone, "just where to go." · Of course people who live in the Ohio River Valley use words like up or down, above and below, upper or lower to tell direction, using the cardinal directions like North and South aren't much help because our biggest landmark, the Ohio River, doesn't convemently flow in a nice, straight direction. Sometimes it's hard to make people understand that perfectly logical fact of nature "Hmmm," I told him, as I reflected, rubbing my chin with a thoughtful expression, "Let me see here. "In this particutar situation,.. the park is below or down from Yellowbush Creek or just above the Old Ferry Landing Park, or up from the park, which makes more sens'e than saying south of the park or north of the creek, which seems all backwards because of the way the river meanders. "That's because Racine is literally upside down, the river should be to the east or south, like pretty much In the Open Jim Freeman everywhere else in Ohio, but it's actually to the west. So that's why the village of Syracuse is below or down from Racine although it is actually north of Racine. "You got all that? · "It's like in Pomeroy where you have the upper and lower parkin~ lots, which really doesn t have much to do with elevation, but more to do with which parking lot is further upstream. The upper lot, obviously, is upstream from the lower parking lot, but is actually located more to the east. But I think the lower pwking lot actually is lower. "Its sorta like Upper Sandusky and Sandusky, you -would expect Upper Sandusky to be north of Sandusky, but it's actually south, but upstream along the Sandusky River. "You ever been to Upper Sandusky? Nab, me neither. "Whatever you do, don't go up south to Letart Falls. Did you know that if you are standing in Letart Falls and start walking in a straight line, no matter which way you go, you will eventually run into the Ohio River somewhere between Long Bottom and where you first started out? "Does thts make sense? You sure look lost to me. "There's nothing to freak out about, although I have heard reports of motorists aimlessly wandering the roads of the great j>end area for years, I'm pretty sure these are just local drifters and not lost drivers, so you should be OK. OK? "I' II tell you what, I' II make it really simple for you, just keep the river to your right and you are head- · ed up, to your left and you are headed down. OK? Well, that's unless of course you go down to the bndge and cross the river in which case left is up and right is down, but .you can figure that out on your own. "Oh, and once you get to the park you' II see the mill building there, which actually isn't the mill that was there, but that one came from few miles away before they moved it to Pomeroy, wh1ch is a few miles up the road, but down and north from Racine." As the car sped away in a cloud of dust, I shouted after him. "Hey buddy, never mind. I don 't think you can get there from here, but I'd be glad to tell you where you can get there from."

BY BRIAN MAHONEY I>P I ": ' BASKETBALLWRITER LeBron James needed only four years to reach the NBA finals. Tim Duncan was a champion in half that time. So how many seasons wtll it take former Oh10 State center Greg Oden to play for his first title? "I hope one," Oden satd with a smtle during the finals. Not likely, big guy. Oden and Kevin Durant figure to go 1-2 in what shapes up as the strongest draft in years. But they're also hkely headed to the rugged Western Conference, where 50 wins wasn' t good enough to earn home-court advantage in the first round last season. To realize how strong the West was, consider that the Spurs-Cavaliers fin als mtsmatch would have taken place in the first round if Cleveland had been in the other conference. The Cavs'. 50-32 record would 'have been good for sixth place they were second in the East - and given them an opening-round meeting wtth third-seeded San Antonio. So if Portland and Seattle, which own the top two picks in the June 28 draft, are hoping to take a gtant leap, they may need to thtnk again. They might have to settle for small st~ps at first. "People don't understand how good the NBA is. The NBA is hard. It really is," said former Seattle coach Bob Hill, fired before posstbly getting the chance to coach one of the potential can't-miss stars. ''You play 82 games in seven months or stx months and travel, and you play four games in five nights. It's hard. The guys that have to score every night, that's the hardest thin g to do." Durant will be asked to do that, while Oden can probably make a btg enough mark at first with his rebounding and shot blocking. But enough to make the Pactfic Northwest teacns instant contenders? Those skills might not even be enough for either player to make an All-Star team anytime soon out West, whose players occupied all fi ve spots on the Ali-NBA first team. San Antonio's place as a dynasty has been debated since it won a fourth title in nine years, but the Spurs couldn't even get out of the secot;1d round four times during th at span in a co nference that has won seven of the last nine It ties. At 32-50, Portland finished I0 games behind the L\tkers and Golden State Warriors, who grabbed the West's final two playofh spots. And as good as Oden and Durant are; that's a large gap to make up unless they have help. "It takes a lot of components," Cleveland center Zydrunas llgauskas said. "Obviously one guy won 't be able to turn a franchise around, you have to have a good mix of veterans and enough talent. "Guys like LeBron come into the league probably once in 20, 30 years. So to expect those guys to do the same things, it's unfair more than anything to them." AP photo Texas guard Kevrn Durant (35) dunks agamst Oklahoma State dunng the first quarter of their semifina l basketball game at the Btg 12 Conference Tournament in Oklahoma Ctty during this March 10 file photo. Durant 1s one of the top prospects for the NBA Draft, to take place 10 New York on June 28. The Spurs set the standard for one-year turnarounds. San Antonio improved by 35 victories in David Robtnson 's rookie season, and bettered that record wtlh a 36-game jump in Duncan's first season. But Duncan had played four years at Wake Forest, and Robinson was even more mature after serving his two-year military commitment following his playing days at Navy. Oden and Durant, on the other hand, were just finishing up high school this time last year. "I think that would be unfair pressure to put on whatever young kid is drafted in Portland," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said when asked about a San Antonio- type jump. "We all can guess what we think is going to happen, but I believe that the two guy s you're · talking about are like 18 or 19 years old. "When David came out, I don't remember how old he was, but I think he was about 23. He played at the Academy, he played service ball after that. He was very mature already. I think that's a huge difference, emotionally, phystcally - and I don 't think those young men can be put tn that same category as far as being prepared to gt> do that." Ne1ther Portland nor Seattle has to start over, which could make the transition easier. The Trail Blazers have Rookie of the Year Brandon Roy, another promtsing first-year player in LaMarcus Aldndge, and Zach Randolph - though he could be moved if Portland goes for Oden. The SuperSonics have All-Star shootmg guard Ray Allen, but face losing Rashard Lew1s to free agency. Having a good support system in place can make a dtfference. Duncan was able to learn from Robinson, while James was familiar with the Cavs organization after growing up down the road tn Akron. But Kwame· Brown had none of those luxuries, and his career never took off the way a No. I pick's should. Brown was taken first by Washington in 200 I. But he was buried under, not inspired by, Michael Jordan's criticisms, and the Wizards had a winning record only once in his four seasons there. "I've seen a No. I pick in Kwame, I wasn't there when he got there, , but he was around a lot of young guys," said Cleveland guard Larry Hughes, who played for the Wizards. "He wasn't in the best situation as far as being on a winning team or a wmiling orgamzation. So I think it makes it tougher. "LeBron is a talent, I think he was going to make the situation successful anywhere . he went. Tim Duncan came into a pretty good situation where he had veferan guys around him, it kind of made it easier, made the transition a little bit easier. ,So I think anything can happen when you place that No. I pick when you're going to a franchtse that struggled." Oden and Durant figure to be more successful than Brown. Even though never I00 percent while recovering from a broken right wrist, Oden proved he could dominate while leading Ohio State to the national champtonshtp game. Durant averaged .25 .8 pomts at Texas during one of the most outstanding freshman seasons in NCAA history, so he obviously can score. But so can Kobe Bryant, and he managed only 7 6 points per game in his first pro season. ''I'm realistic of my goals," Durant said recently. "I just want to be an impact player in the NBA." He probably will. It just mtght take a whtle.

Hendrick, even if it costs them SEATTLE (AP) - Ken Griffey Jr. turned his cap around backward as he walked into the batting cage. Second swmg, home run eight rows into the bleachers beyond right field. Third swing, a towering drive off a cafe window in the second deck. The loudest batting practice crowd at Safeco Field in years roared. For a moment, it was the 1990s again in Seattle. "Griffey, you the man!" yelled a Mariners fan in the first deck. The man credited with saving baseball in Seattle through majestic home runs, wall-scaling catches and magnetic charisma was back for the first time since forcing the Mariners to trade him to his hometown Cincinnati Reds in 2000. He is 37 now, owner of 582 career home runs entering Friday night's game. "I've had some good times here. Learned to play baseball here," said Griffey, whom the Mariners drafted No. 1 overall in 1987 and put on their opening-day lineup two days later. He stayed there for the next II years. "Being a 19-year-old kid, it was on-the-job training. And the organization here allowed me to be me," he said. Griffey smiled often while keeping his arms crossed in front of him on a table during a press conference before batting practice, and he addressed the crowd in a ceremony on the field just before the start of the game. After worried about getling booed -just as former Mariners slugger Alex Rodriguez has been · for seven years since he bolted to the largest contract m baseball history with the Texas Rangers - Griffey received a roaring, 3 112minute standing ovation from the sellout crowd. "Never did I imagine it would be like this coming back," he satd. "I didn 't know how much I missed being in Seattle." The fans roared again. The Mariners presented Griffey with a framed photo of Safeco Field during the pregame ceremony, with the words "The House that Griffey Built" across the top.

Arnold's obsession is not unique. Junior-related merchandise accounts for about 30 percent of NASCAR's sales. Earnhardt makes an estimated $20 million. annually, half of which is believed to come from merchandise sales. When Earnhardt announced May I 0 he was leaving DEI, he wonied about how his loyal followers would react. He didn't have to fret long. Sales of Earnhardt merchandise at race tracks are up 17 percent since his May 10 announcement, industry analysts said. At NASCAR.com, where his figures spiked 107 percent the first week, sales have now leveled off but are still slightly above last season's pace.

"You didn:t really know what their reaction was going to be, but they've always been supporttve in the past," he srud. ''Certainly, this is a little bit bi(mer deal than anything else I ve ever done, and they continue to be supportive." .Griffey, ,IReds sink Mariners, 16-1 SEATTLE (AP) - Kef! Griffey Jr. never liked being the focus; or speaking about himself. , So it seemed apyropriate on the night Gnffey was honored by the city where he became a star, it was his teammates providing t~ e highhghts. While Griffey was bemg adored by Seaule fans. it was David Ross and Brandon Phillips both httting two homers, and Aaron Harang working eight strong innings in Cincinnati's 16-1 rout of the Manners on Friday. Playing hts first game in Seattle since being traded after the 1999 season, the one-time face of the Mariners organization was received wlth adulation and appreciation from the fans, many of whom dusted off old No. 24 Griffey jerseys for the occasiOn. He was lauded wtth a len~thy standing ovation dunng a pregame ceremony, biting his lip and dipping hts head at limes dunng the applause. It was the polar opposite of the reception Gnffey feared - the boos that accompany Alex Rodriguez's i!llnual return. Harang (8-2) won his third straig~t decision, allowing two futs and an unearned run in eight innings. He struck out seven and only once did Seattle put' more thqn one ,runner on base against him. Notes: Harang has not lost since May 20 at Cleveland (six starts). ... The 46,340 was the sixth-largest regular season crowd in Safeco Field history. · .- The Art of Giving Directions BY JIM FREEMAN SPECIALTO THE SENTINEL The other day I had someone ask me for direction to Star Mtll Park, which we should all know is m the village of Racine. People who know me know I like to give directiOns; first I like to impress people wtth my flawless sense of dtrection, second and more important, it is one of the few occasions I have to tell someone, "just where to go." · Of course people who live in the Ohio River Valley use words like up or down, above and below, upper or lower to tell direction, using the cardinal directions like North and South aren't much help because our biggest landmark, the Ohio River, doesn't convemently flow in a nice, straight direction. Sometimes it's hard to make people understand that perfectly logical fact of nature "Hmmm," I told him, as I reflected, rubbing my chin with a thoughtful expression, "Let me see here. "In this particutar situation,.. the park is below or down from Yellowbush Creek or just above the Old Ferry Landing Park, or up from the park, which makes more sens'e than saying south of the park or north of the creek, which seems all backwards because of the way the river meanders. "That's because Racine is literally upside down, the river should be to the east or south, like pretty much In the Open Jim Freeman everywhere else in Ohio, but it's actually to the west. So that's why the village of Syracuse is below or down from Racine although it is actually north of Racine. "You got all that? · "It's like in Pomeroy where you have the upper and lower parkin~ lots, which really doesn t have much to do with elevation, but more to do with which parking lot is further upstream. The upper lot, obviously, is upstream from the lower parking lot, but is actually located more to the east. But I think the lower pwking lot actually is lower. "Its sorta like Upper Sandusky and Sandusky, you -would expect Upper Sandusky to be north of Sandusky, but it's actually south, but upstream along the Sandusky River. "You ever been to Upper Sandusky? Nab, me neither. "Whatever you do, don't go up south to Letart Falls. Did you know that if you are standing in Letart Falls and start walking in a straight line, no matter which way you go, you will eventually run into the Ohio River somewhere between Long Bottom and where you first started out? "Does thts make sense? You sure look lost to me. "There's nothing to freak out about, although I have heard reports of motorists aimlessly wandering the roads of the great j>end area for years, I'm pretty sure these are just local drifters and not lost drivers, so you should be OK. OK? "I' II tell you what, I' II make it really simple for you, just keep the river to your right and you are head- · ed up, to your left and you are headed down. OK? Well, that's unless of course you go down to the bndge and cross the river in which case left is up and right is down, but .you can figure that out on your own. "Oh, and once you get to the park you' II see the mill building there, which actually isn't the mill that was there, but that one came from few miles away before they moved it to Pomeroy, wh1ch is a few miles up the road, but down and north from Racine." As the car sped away in a cloud of dust, I shouted after him. "Hey buddy, never mind. I don 't think you can get there from here, but I'd be glad to tell you where you can get there from."

Water is the body's natural air conditioner. When we perspire, the body is cooled and this prevent~ a build-up of internal heat. Neither our kidneys nor cells can function properly unless we drink enough water. Excessive water loss is called dehydration. Every organ in the body is affected if your body is temporarily shon of water. Our bodies let us know it needs more water by being thirsty. Physically active persons should continue drinking water beyond the point of thirst. Drinking extra water cannot hun. The body will get rid !Jf what it doesn't need. Try to drink six to eight glasses of water daily. Women need to drink more water if you are exercising, sick, pregnant or breastfeeding, hot or thirsty. Drown the fever and cold with water. You perspire and lose water when you have a fever. Drinking water helps keep the mucous membranes of your nose and breathing passages moist thus aiding faster healing. The brain needs water to work right. If we are dehydfated, concentration is impaired. So drink to think right. Drink water to prevent constipation. Your body's fluid regulator is the colon or large intestine. Persons eating fiber rich foods need extro water to prevent COnstipation. Usually there IS no need for newborn babies to have extra water.

GALLIPOLIS - Every day, the average person wakes up in the morning and begins their daily routine. Many of us never think about how blessed we are to be able to begin the day knowing that at the end of the day we will have accomplished something, no matter how large or. small that accomplishment may be. Robert. Starcher knows that life and the opportunity to experience it fully is truly a blessing. "I had no quality of life," Robert said. "I was 375 pounds. I was tired of other people having to· do everything for me. I was tired of sleeping 20 hours each day. I wanted my life back.'. At age 55, Robert was suffering from chronic knee and back pain, bone spurs, high blood pressure, diabetes, gout, and was having an average of 383 apneas in only six hours of sleep. His life was on hold and his future was questionable . It was time for Robert to make a decision about who he wanted to become in this life and how he was going to make it happen. , "My wife and I were familiar with the Holzer Center for Comprehensive Weight Loss before I made the decision to have surgery," Robert sad. "I didn't go into this deci sion blindly. I knew Holzer was the right choice." Robert's daughter also had the surgery at age 36. He and his wife, Linda, were very supportive of her decision and attended support group meetings at Holzer with her in an effort to stay involved and encourage her progress. "After our .daughter's surgery, we were able to see · first hand the diet changes necessary in order for the surgery to have positive results," Linda said. "We knew there· were risks Robert Starcher (Before and 11fter1 involved when she had her surgery and we knew Robert would face those same risks. ·It was a decision we will never regret." After one week following surgery, Robert had already lost 15 pounds. After 26 days, he lost a total of 43 pounds. As the months progressed. Robert knew .he made the ri ght decision and vowed to never gain the weight back. In three years, Robert has lost over 150 pounds and has gained a life filled with activities, joy and most importantly a future. "My life has_changed in more ways than I thought possible. I used to sleep for 20 hours a day. Now I fish for 15 hours at a time. I used to sit in one spot and ocver leave the house. Now I fl y to Canada for fishin g trips. I' II never forget the first flight I took to Washington State to see Mount St. Helens. It 's the little things that people take for granted that mean the most to me now." Robert not only enjoys fishing, he is able to walk his dog, sit in a booth at restaurants, and an actually walk through the grocery store instead of riding ·a motorized cart Before surgery, Robert co uldn ' t stand for more than I 0 minutes at a time. He couldn't tie his own shoes. He was virtually at the mercy of everyone else . Robert is no longer taking medications outside of his daily supplements. He has a clean bill of health and a new lease on life . "I missed doing things that Linda and I used to do together. I see morbidl y obese people today and my heart aches for them because I know how they feel. My granddaughter looked at me and said ' Paw Paw, you don 't have a big belly anymore,' and now I can take her on fishing trips and do things with her that I never thought I would be able to do. "It's an amazing feeling to walk by people and they don 't everi recognize me anymote because I've lost so much weight, It's the best decision I've ever made." . Robert and Linda have learned from the ex tensive education and information provided by the doctor, di et itian and staff at Holzer . how to eat healthy and still enjoy the things they love. "We read label s now," Linda explained. "Robert can still enjo.y eating the thin gs he loves like pump- Author: Here's who's kin pie, cherry pie and banana nut bread, but we just make sure they are made with sugar substitutes like Splenda. The staff at Holzer still help us make sure we continue to do everything ri ght to make this life altering experience as successful for Robert as possible." Robert has quickly become one of Holzer's number one. advocates for the Center for Comprehensive Weight Loss. , "The staff is awesome! Tl1ey are like my family. I had a very special nurse in ICU named Devan. She made all the difference following surgery and Dr. Canaday was very thorough in helping us understand that this surgery is only a tool; it was up to me to decide how I was going to use it. He told me I might have added 10 years to my life ju st by following the guidelines the way I have," Robert said. Robert's waist went from a size 60 to a size 38. His shirt size went from 5X to . an XL, and he was finally · able to buy the leather jacket he had always wanted. "It may not seem like a big deal, but being able to buy clothes right ' off the rack is a major accomplish- · ment. I sold all of my old clothes and actually made $300," Robert pointed out. . "It's hard to find .clothing when you're as large as I was. It was hard to do a lot of things." Life has changed in countless ways for the Starcher family and continues to · change all of the time . "I'd recommend this · surgery to anyone who is. serious about making the changes necessary to gain a : fut4re. You have to sit down, . gather the facts and make' the decision to do it and follow through. Knowing what I do now, I'd go through it again in a heartbeat." screwing up ·America RIO GRANDE- The fall semester will begin in a little more than two months, but students at the University of Rio Grande/Rio . Gra~de Community College still have time to apply for finan cial aid. In addition, area residents still have time to apply for the fall semester. classes. The fall semester at' Rio Grande will begin on Aug. 27. Rio Grande is currently in the middle of its first of two summer .Sessions. The second summer session will begin on July 9. Jennifer Dyer, assistant · director of financial aid at Rio' Grande, said that incoming students should know that there is still plenty of time to apply for financial aid, and the process is fairly simple.

All incoming students, with only a few exceptiops,_will receive a scholarship of at least $100, and possibly up to thousands of dollru:s. The exceptions are for students who have already earned their bachelor's degrees, as well as a few other exceptions. . In addition, all incoming students are eligible for student ·loans to help pay for college, Dyer said. · . Many students also do not realize that they may be eligible for Pell Grants, which are need-based grants that can pay for all of the tuition for an academic year, Dyer said.

In three years, Robert has lost over 150 pounds and has gained a life filled with activities, joy and most importantly a future. "My life has_changed in more ways than I thought possible. I used to sleep for 20 hours a day. Now I fish for 15 hours at a time. I used to sit in one spot and ocver leave the house. Now I fl y to Canada for fishin g trips. I' II never forget the first flight I took to Washington State to see Mount St. Helens. It 's the little things that people take for granted that mean the most to me now." Robert not only enjoys fishing, he is able to walk his dog, sit in a booth at restaurants, and an actually walk through the grocery store instead of riding ·a motorized cart Before surgery, Robert co uldn ' t stand for more than I 0 minutes at a time. He couldn't tie his own shoes. He was virtually at the mercy of everyone else . Robert is no longer taking medications outside of his daily supplements. He has a clean bill of health and a new lease on life . "I missed doing things that Linda and I used to do together. I see morbidl y obese people today and my heart aches for them because I know how they feel. My granddaughter looked at me and said ' Paw Paw, you don 't have a big belly anymore,' and now I can take her on fishing trips and do things with her that I never thought I would be able to do. "It's an amazing feeling to walk by people and they don 't everi recognize me anymote because I've lost so much weight, It's the best decision I've ever made." . Robert and Linda have learned from the ex tensive education and information provided by the doctor, di et itian and staff at Holzer . how to eat healthy and still enjoy the things they love. "We read label s now," Linda explained. "Robert can still enjo.y eating the thin gs he loves like pump- Author: Here's who's kin pie, cherry pie and banana nut bread, but we just make sure they are made with sugar substitutes like Splenda. The staff at Holzer still help us make sure we continue to do everything ri ght to make this life altering experience as successful for Robert as possible." Robert has quickly become one of Holzer's number one. advocates for the Center for Comprehensive Weight Loss. , "The staff is awesome! Tl1ey are like my family. I had a very special nurse in ICU named Devan. She made all the difference following surgery and Dr. Canaday was very thorough in helping us understand that this surgery is only a tool; it was up to me to decide how I was going to use it. He told me I might have added 10 years to my life ju st by following the guidelines the way I have," Robert said. Robert's waist went from a size 60 to a size 38. His shirt size went from 5X to . an XL, and he was finally · able to buy the leather jacket he had always wanted. "It may not seem like a big deal, but being able to buy clothes right ' off the rack is a major accomplish- · ment. I sold all of my old clothes and actually made $300," Robert pointed out. . "It's hard to find .clothing when you're as large as I was. It was hard to do a lot of things." Life has changed in countless ways for the Starcher family and continues to · change all of the time . "I'd recommend this · surgery to anyone who is. serious about making the changes necessary to gain a : fut4re. You have to sit down, . gather the facts and make' the decision to do it and follow through. Knowing what I do now, I'd go through it again in a heartbeat." screwing up ·America RIO GRANDE- The fall semester will begin in a little more than two months, but students at the University of Rio Grande/Rio . Gra~de Community College still have time to apply for finan cial aid. In addition, area residents still have time to apply for the fall semester. classes. The fall semester at' Rio Grande will begin on Aug. 27. Rio Grande is currently in the middle of its first of two summer .Sessions. The second summer session will begin on July 9. Jennifer Dyer, assistant · director of financial aid at Rio' Grande, said that incoming students should know that there is still plenty of time to apply for financial aid, and the process is fairly simple.

"Everyone who applies for admission is going to be considered for a scholarship." Dyer said. All incoming students, with only a few exceptiops,_will receive a scholarship of at least $100, and possibly up to thousands of dollru:s. The exceptions are for students who have already earned their bachelor's degrees, as well as a few other exceptions. . In addition, all incoming students are eligible for student ·loans to help pay for college, Dyer said. · . Many students also do not realize that they may be eligible for Pell Grants, which are need-based grants that can pay for all of the tuition for an academic year, Dyer said.

Hollywood's honorary mayor Johnny Grant announced the list of 2008 inductees on Wednesday. not.ing recipients were chosen from hundreds of nominations received by the Walk of Fame Committee. Sidewalk stars are given to entertainers in motion _pictures, television, live theater and recording. Directors of the committee selected recipients and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce board ratified the selections on June 8. "I am happy to ann9unce an array of celebrities who have earned this recognition for a combination of profes· sional achievement and community involvement," Grant said. · The list of 2008 Hollywood Walk of Fame recipients: Movies: Angela Bassett, Cate Blanchett, Tim Robbins, Stan · Lee, the Munchkins (from "The Wizard of Oz") and the Westmores of Hollywood, a longtime show-business makeup family. Television: Howie Mandel, Susan St. James, Bill Geist, Kate Linder, Howie Mandel, Sherwood Schwartz, Vince McMahon and, pos.thumously, Brian Keith.

Evan, however. has a boat to build. And an ever-growing beard and long hair to tend to, and eventually a flowin g robe to put on every morning, because he has no choice - God force s him to do thi s. Seems like it would have been ju st as practical for Evan to continue wearing the flannel _button-down and jeans he had on when he was repeatedly hammering his thumb and tripping over stuff at the start of the project, but then we 'd all miss . . ,out on· one .of the movie s many easy gags. But Evan has al so changed on the inside, from a happy-go-lucky guy ready to take on the world to one who's self-serious and, unfortunately, self-righteous. Maybe he's achieved a deeper sense of purpose, but he isn't a heck of a lot of fun to be around. And that's a problem when he's the guy at the center of your bigbudget summer comedy.

' --- ------- ----_;__-.,..--111 Advertisement compliments of Omo VALLEY BANK. / --- ~-------------------------~----~------- �iunbap lim~ ·itntinel DowN ON' THE FARM BY HAL KNEEN Adult Japanese beetles will soon be emerging from their dormant pupa stage. · Their adult life span is only . four to six weeks. The adults will mate and the females will lay eggs in the grassy areas of our lawn and meadows. Most of their life sp;m is spent as immature· larvae eating the root systems of qur plants. Larvae eat from mid-July until late November and again in early Spring until ·mid-May. The larvae need a dormancy stage, called a pupa, in which the larvae trdnsforms itself into an adult beetle. Control of the adults is difficult as they may fly up to one mile to as far as two miles. It is important to reduce the first adults that emerge from eating your plant leaves. The first adults attract other adults by the release of sex. pheromones. The pheromones dispersed in the air may be carried over one mile away. Some homeowners use Japanese Beetle traps to lure the adult beetles using pheromones. Unfortunately, you attract everyone's beetles from the area. Remember to empty the bagged beetles at least daily. Place traps away from the plants you want to protect. Chemical sprays of either carbaryl (Sevin), malathion, or rotenone may be applied every five to I 0 days on· susceptible plants, depending upon rainfall. . Grub control for immature larvae may be applied to lawns, .but remember that adult ' beetles fly and thus your neighbor's adult beetles may soon be in your yard next year. · A list of chemicals is available from our Home Yard and Garden fact sheet 200 I , "Control of Japanese Beetle Adults and Grubs in Home Lawns." It is available on line at www.ohioline.osu.edu, or from our office. ••• Has your lawn. greened up with the scattered showers? Remember to raise the cutting blades of your lawnmower to 3 to 3-112 inches high. The higher cutting height will benefit your · lawn. Taller grass blades will shade the soil and help inhibit the development of weeds. The larger grass leaf area produces increased nutrition for the rest of the plant. Research has shown that 50 percent removal of the leaf blade reduces plant root growth only two percent. Sixty percent leaf reduction decreases root development by 50 percent. If 80 percent of the leaf area is removed by mowing, root development in the grass plant stops. Sharpen the blades of your lawn mower. Grass plant leaves when cut clean, will quickly heal over. Ragged! y cut leaf blades lose more moisture and take · longer to recover into a growing leaf. If you are irrigating your lawn, remember to water early in the morning so the lawn dljes off to prevent lawn diseases. It is better to water once a week for several hours, then 15 minutes on a daily basis. If you need to replant a lawn, wait until late August when weather is cooler and' the chances of rainfall improve. However, in preparation of the new seeding, take a soil sample now and follow recommendations for liming and applying fertilizer before sowing grass seed. Soil samples can be processed by the extension office for a fee to private soil labs. ... Ohio Sheep Day will be held on July 14 at the QARDC Sheep Research Unit, 5651 Fredericksburg Road, Wooster.

The adults will mate and the females will lay eggs in the grassy areas of our lawn and meadows. Most of their life sp;m is spent as immature· larvae eating the root systems of qur plants. Larvae eat from mid-July until late November and again in early Spring until ·mid-May. The larvae need a dormancy stage, called a pupa, in which the larvae trdnsforms itself into an adult beetle. Control of the adults is difficult as they may fly up to one mile to as far as two miles. It is important to reduce the first adults that emerge from eating your plant leaves. The first adults attract other adults by the release of sex. pheromones. The pheromones dispersed in the air may be carried over one mile away. Some homeowners use Japanese Beetle traps to lure the adult beetles using pheromones. Unfortunately, you attract everyone's beetles from the area. Remember to empty the bagged beetles at least daily. Place traps away from the plants you want to protect. Chemical sprays of either carbaryl (Sevin), malathion, or rotenone may be applied every five to I 0 days on· susceptible plants, depending upon rainfall. . Grub control for immature larvae may be applied to lawns, .but remember that adult ' beetles fly and thus your neighbor's adult beetles may soon be in your yard next year. · A list of chemicals is available from our Home Yard and Garden fact sheet 200 I , "Control of Japanese Beetle Adults and Grubs in Home Lawns." It is available on line at www.ohioline.osu.edu, or from our office. ••• Has your lawn. greened up with the scattered showers? Remember to raise the cutting blades of your lawnmower to 3 to 3-112 inches high. The higher cutting height will benefit your · lawn. Taller grass blades will shade the soil and help inhibit the development of weeds. The larger grass leaf area produces increased nutrition for the rest of the plant. Research has shown that 50 percent removal of the leaf blade reduces plant root growth only two percent. Sixty percent leaf reduction decreases root development by 50 percent. If 80 percent of the leaf area is removed by mowing, root development in the grass plant stops. Sharpen the blades of your lawn mower. Grass plant leaves when cut clean, will quickly heal over. Ragged! y cut leaf blades lose more moisture and take · longer to recover into a growing leaf. If you are irrigating your lawn, remember to water early in the morning so the lawn dljes off to prevent lawn diseases. It is better to water once a week for several hours, then 15 minutes on a daily basis. If you need to replant a lawn, wait until late August when weather is cooler and' the chances of rainfall improve. However, in preparation of the new seeding, take a soil sample now and follow recommendations for liming and applying fertilizer before sowing grass seed. Soil samples can be processed by the extension office for a fee to private soil labs. ... Ohio Sheep Day will be held on July 14 at the QARDC Sheep Research Unit, 5651 Fredericksburg Road, Wooster.
