BY MICHELLE MILLER MMILLER®MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS -. Is the pediatric wing of Holzer Medical Center Gallipolis closing? That's the question that has been taking over the rumor mill as of late. According to HMC officials, the hospital is not discontinuing pediatric care, but is considering whether dedicating a floor to it year around is cost effective. · "The pediatric service at Holzer Medical Center is not closing," said HMCGallipolis President Jim Phillippe. "We are however considering options that might enable us to provide the service more efficiently, such as possibly locating the unit as a sub-unit of some other nursing department in designated rooms on another nursing unit." Phillippe said if the rooms are moved to another wing, the current security mea· sures .in place on the pedi· Transfer offonds approved for sheriff BY BRIAN J. atric floor wo11ld be moved . to accommoaate the new location, that the children would be cared for by nurses trained and experienced in pediatric care. 'He also said the pediatric floor may only need to be closed during times of the year when the number of patients is down. "In no instance would a !Wdiatric patient be placed iii a room with an adult," said Phillippe. "In all cir· cumstances, children would be cared for by nurses trained and experienced in pediatric care." Much of the hospital's cutbacks can be blamed on the growing gap between medical costs and reimbursement rates which, according to Phillippe, has resulted in increased unre· imbursed costs of more than $2 million per year. "Over the last five years, Medicare payments have increased at a rate of approximately 2.6 percent per year, while Medicaid payments have increased at a rate of approximately 1.2 . percent per year," said Phillippe. "During that same lime period, medical inflation, the cost to Holzer · of increasing expense for such items as salaries, benefits, supplies and equipment has been increasing at a rate of five to seven percent." . · According to Phillippe, though reimbursement Pleue see HMC.

Gen . John Hunt Morgan crossed into Ohio from Indiana at Harri son. · They were being pursued by Union cavalry. under the directi on of Generals Henry M. Judah and Edward H. Hobson. On July 19, Union force s caught up to Morgan's raiders and the Battle of Buffington Island was fought near Portland on the Ohio River. Ple•H see Isfand, Al • PITTSBURGH Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. has withdrawn a $28 billion hostile takeover bid for Canadian competitor Alcan Inc. after mining giant Rio Tinto entered a . significantly higher bid. The Pittsburgh-based company relinquished its offer less than a day after Rio Tinto and Alcan jointly announced the competing $38.1 billion cash bid that would create the world's largest aluminum company. Alain . Beida, Alcoa's chairman and chief executive, said the AngloAustralian miner's offer "strongly reinforces our view of the underlying value in the aluminum industry and its bright prospects for the future. " "However, at this price level, we have more attractive options for delivering additional value to shareholders," he said in a statement. Rio Tinto ·s bid iS' 65.5 perceiu higher than Alcan 's closinjl share price before Alcoa s May 4 takeover bid, and nearly 33 percent higher than Alcoa's offer, accord· ing to Rio Tinto and Alcan. Alcoa and Alcan were the world's top two aluminum makers until March , when the Moscow-based United Company Rusal surpassed Alcoa as the leading producer after l)ei ng. formed through a three-way merger. Alcan's operations include a plant in Ravenswood, W.Va., ¢at it acquired when it bought French aluminum producer Pechiney in 2003. Alcan Rolled Products employs about 1,100 people, making it the largest employer in Jaqkson County, W.Va. Beida said Alcoa will continue to "make targeted growth investments, trim underperforming businesses and further enhance returns to shareholders by resuming our share-repurchase program," which was suspended amid the Alcan offer. "That is a better path forward for our shareholders, our employees and our communities," he said. Alcoa approached Alcat1 shareholders with its bid il) early May, after nearly t....;o years of private talks failc;d ,to produce a negotiated a~reement . Alcan repeated!£ d1smissed the offer as inade· quate and fraught with reg'!: latory and other risks. .: Alcoa 's proposal faced review by antitrust authod• ties in Canada. the Europe'!!~ Union. Australia and Brazil; as well as foreign invest: ment clearance in Canada1 France and Australia. U.s: antitrust authorities !ail week issued a second request for informatioti about the offer. .

Alcoa and Alcan are the two biggest producers of heat·rreated aerospace plate. Earlier Thursday, Alcan Chief Executive Dick Evans said there had been multiple parties interested in the company, but that Rio's offer provided the best shareholder value and strategic rationale. "Rio Tinto was the best fit with Alcan - there are complementary bauxite and aluminum businesses, Analysts said Alcoa's withdrawal could make the company a more handsome buyout prospect. "We think that it is plausible that one of the other global miners, such as aHP Billiton or Companhia Vale do Rio Dace, now makes a bid for Alcoa," Lloyd T. O'Carroll, a Davenpon & Co. analyst, wrote in a client Island from PageA1 Of the I ,700 Confederate troops engaged, 900 were killed, wounded or captured.

Page.A.-2 REGIONAL note. Charles Bradford of Bradford Research/Soliel Securities said only one mining company was capable of buying Alcoa: Australia's BHP Billiton Ltd. He said lenders may be more willing lo put up cash for the purchase of Alcoa as its valuation is lower than that of Alcan. "BHP will now go for Alcoa," Numi s Securities analyst John Meyer told Dow Jones News wires. "Rio and BHP are doing what venture capitalists would otherwise have moved to do." Leo Larkin, an equi~y research analyst with Standard & Poor's, said be was not SU!'{'rised Alcoa withdrew its b1d as "it's just not as financially powerful a company as Rio Tmto." Larkin also said Alcoa may have become more appealing as a takeover target for a company such as BHP Billiton now that it is not poised to buy. · "I think a lot of people are assuming Alcoa can' t remain a standalone company," Larkin said. "I don't necessarily agree with that premise."

The company my fiance works for hired ll)e for a part-time job. After working there for several months, the -owners told me they needed a fulltime person. They told my fiance they would love to hire me, because I did a great job and boosted company morale. However, they said my cancer history would make their company health insurance skyrocket. They interviewed a male worker instead. This male worker took a drug screening te st that came back positive. I thought they· would surely decide to hire me instead, but guess what? They hired him anyway. These owners hired a drug abuser over a cancer survivor because of insuran9e costs. This makes no sense to me, especially since the_doctors say I am now cancer free. Is this legal? My fiance is considering findin g another job. Can I take this company ~ court for discrimination?Cancer Free in Kentucky Dear Kentucky : Very possibly. _It is against the law ·to discriminate against someone on the basis of his or her me4ical history, provided you are capable of doing · the job.

The company my fiance works for hired ll)e for a part-time job. After working there for several months, the -owners told me they needed a fulltime person. They told my fiance they would love to hire me, because I did a great job and boosted company morale. However, they said my cancer history would make their company health insurance skyrocket. They interviewed a male worker instead. This male worker took a drug screening te st that came back positive. I thought they· would surely decide to hire me instead, but guess what? They hired him anyway. These owners hired a drug abuser over a cancer survivor because of insuran9e costs. This makes no sense to me, especially since the_doctors say I am now cancer free. Is this legal? My fiance is considering findin g another job. Can I take this company ~ court for discrimination?Cancer Free in Kentucky Dear Kentucky : Very possibly. _It is against the law ·to discriminate against someone on the basis of his or her me4ical history, provided you are capable of doing · the job.

They now have some momentum and arc on the march not only over the war, but also about introducing a bit of socialism into mainstream America. Socialism is loosely defined as government distribution of services and goods. In the wish fulfillment catalog of the far left, that means the feds would, among other things, run the health care industry, control corporate ~havior and profits, and provide significant entitlements to those Americans deemed to need them. Since the federal government is even having trouble issuing passports to the folks this summer, I am not relil optimistic about the feds making sure my health is top notch or instituting any other massive program.

Basye k ·' r (This classic Dave Barry column was · originally published March 16, 1997.) Settle back, because today I'm going to tell you the dramatic true story of what happened when some Japanese researchers decided to re-create the historic discovery of the law of gravity: As you recall, this discovery occurred in ·an English orchard in ·J666, when, according to legend, Isaac Newton, the brilliant mathematician, fell out of a tree and landed on an apple. No, hold it. Upon reviewing the videotape, I see that in fact the apple fell out of the tree and landed on Newton. Had this occurred today, of course, Newton would have simply put on a foam neck brace and sued everybody within a radius of 125 miles. But those were primitive times, and ·Newton was forced to settle for discovering the law of gravity, which states: "A dropped object will fall . with an acceleratioli of 32 feet per second, and if it is your wallet, it will make every effort to land in a public toilet." Later on, Newton also invented calculus, which is defined as "the branch of mathematics that is · so scary it causes everybody to stop studying mathemat' ics." That's the whole point of calculus. At colleges and universities, on the first day of calculus class, the professors go to the board and write huge, incomprehensible "equations" that they make up right on the spot, knowing that this will Deaths believe the government This isn't Sweden with TheRe~.

They now have some momentum and arc on the march not only over the war, but also about introducing a bit of socialism into mainstream America. Socialism is loosely defined as government distribution of services and goods. In the wish fulfillment catalog of the far left, that means the feds would, among other things, run the health care industry, control corporate ~havior and profits, and provide significant entitlements to those Americans deemed to need them. Since the federal government is even having trouble issuing passports to the folks this summer, I am not relil optimistic about the feds making sure my health is top notch or instituting any other massive program.

Basye k ·' r (This classic Dave Barry column was · originally published March 16, 1997.) Settle back, because today I'm going to tell you the dramatic true story of what happened when some Japanese researchers decided to re-create the historic discovery of the law of gravity: As you recall, this discovery occurred in ·an English orchard in ·J666, when, according to legend, Isaac Newton, the brilliant mathematician, fell out of a tree and landed on an apple. No, hold it. Upon reviewing the videotape, I see that in fact the apple fell out of the tree and landed on Newton. Had this occurred today, of course, Newton would have simply put on a foam neck brace and sued everybody within a radius of 125 miles. But those were primitive times, and ·Newton was forced to settle for discovering the law of gravity, which states: "A dropped object will fall . with an acceleratioli of 32 feet per second, and if it is your wallet, it will make every effort to land in a public toilet." Later on, Newton also invented calculus, which is defined as "the branch of mathematics that is · so scary it causes everybody to stop studying mathemat' ics." That's the whole point of calculus. At colleges and universities, on the first day of calculus class, the professors go to the board and write huge, incomprehensible "equations" that they make up right on the spot, knowing that this will Deaths believe the government This isn't Sweden with TheRe~.

Kokrak locks up second strrught Ohio Amateur Manson fromPageBl BY RusTY MILLER ASSOCIATED PR ESS : SPRINGFIELD Nothing ,much overwhelms J~son Kokrak, except maybe the exclusive club he joined on Friday. :"Look at the company I'm in," the 22-year-old marveled after defending his Ohio Amateur title with a:'68 to win by nine shots at springfield Country Club. "Kokrak becomes the ninth player in the tournament's 101 years to win liack-to-back championships. The last three to pilll it off are icon Arnold P"almer (1953 -54) and ilependable • pros I ohn Cook ( 1978-79) ang Ben Curtis (1999-2000). · :His margin matched the secllnd largest since the tournament went to medal play in · 1967 . The only ume someone won by triore shots was Curtis' stunning 17 -stroke victory al Brookside in 2000. ~ Kokrak finished at 5under 275 after rounds of 10, 69, 68 and 68. : "It's funny, playing with him the last two days, it seems like the more conservative he· played the lOwer he shot," said playN!g partner Kevin Orabeman , who tied for I ith after wilting to a closiJig SO. "He played it right. He put it in the middle of ihe greens, one putt or two putt. That's perfect. It was really neat to watch." :.· Jason Gerken of Logan, a former Princeton University golfer, also shot 6~ to get to 4-over 284 and again come close without winning. Gerken has finished second twice, third and fifth in the la.st six years. Having played with Kokrak before, he wasn't surprised by the repeat Championship. ,: "He's a heck of a good player. He's solid,'' Gerken said . "He hits it a long way and he hits it very straight and he's got a really, really good short game. That's really improved in the last ~everal years." Mansfield's Tom Ballinger, a Kent State golfer, also had a 68 and was another shot back at 285. A Golden Flashes teammate, David Ludlow 'f Burton, had a hole in one while shooting a. 73 that left him at 2SS and in fQurtti place. a Manson consi<lers hfs ~at­ ural talent as his strength, but knows he needs to get stronger. "I have natural talent and ball skill, but I do need to hit the gym," he said. · He joins his former Cin':leville teammate Grossnickle, who signed with the Redmen earlier in the spring. · Manson's goal duting his time at Rio Grande? "To improve and gain more talent on the field," he said. He plans to major in Business. Michael is the son of Mike Manson and Karen Wickline. Indians AP photo Jason Kokrak of Warren sinks his last putt to win the Ohio Amateur golf tournament at Springfield Country Club on Friday In Springfield. "That's strong, 5-under," Ballinger said of Kokrak. "I thought after playing a practice round that around even-par might win. But 5under, that's pretty good playing." Kokrak st:.rted the day with a six-stroke lead over Grabeman, an Ohio State junior, and a seven-shot advantage on • his former Xavier University tea111mate, Wes Homan Jr. · Playing in the same threesome with his closest pursuers, Kokrak \_Was never pressured . "It is a hard course to make up ground,'' he said. He played the front nine in even-par 35 while Grabeman was doublebogeying three holes and Homan was doubling tWo. Grabeman shot a 42 and Homan a 39, with Kokrak's lead ballooning to II shots over Homan at the turn. What's mote, Kokrak was.n't even at his best. He hit just two fairways and had six. greens in regulation . But he never made a glaring error, barely missing fairways and frequently hitting his irons to the fron< fringe; paving the . way for short chip shots that led to easy pars . · "! didn't play conservative, I just hit smart shots," he said. "Like on. No. I, I was in the rough and made sure I hit it short of the green and got up and down for my par. From there on out, I pla)'Cd pretty solid, hitting most of the greens. Plus I had a couple of good up-and-downs coming down the stretch." He also was long off the tee, but not erratic. He frequently hit 30 or 40 yards farther than his playing partners, allowing him to hit shorter irons into the devilishly slanted greens on the Donald Ross layout. Kokrak plans to take three classes at Xavier this fall to get his degree before turning pro. Then he hopes \0 go to Q-school. That's a relief to the rest of the state's amateurs: He won't be going for three in a row. "This weekend next year I hope to be playing at some pro tournament somewhere," he said with a laugh.

"Kokrak becomes the ninth player in the tournament's 101 years to win liack-to-back championships. The last three to pilll it off are icon Arnold P"almer (1953 -54) and ilependable • pros I ohn Cook ( 1978-79) ang Ben Curtis (1999-2000). · :His margin matched the secllnd largest since the tournament went to medal play in · 1967 . The only ume someone won by triore shots was Curtis' stunning 17 -stroke victory al Brookside in 2000. ~ Kokrak finished at 5under 275 after rounds of 10, 69, 68 and 68. : "It's funny, playing with him the last two days, it seems like the more conservative he· played the lOwer he shot," said playN!g partner Kevin Orabeman , who tied for I ith after wilting to a closiJig SO. "He played it right. He put it in the middle of ihe greens, one putt or two putt. That's perfect. It was really neat to watch." :.· Jason Gerken of Logan, a former Princeton University golfer, also shot 6~ to get to 4-over 284 and again come close without winning. Gerken has finished second twice, third and fifth in the la.st six years. Having played with Kokrak before, he wasn't surprised by the repeat Championship. ,: "He's a heck of a good player. He's solid,'' Gerken said . "He hits it a long way and he hits it very straight and he's got a really, really good short game. That's really improved in the last ~everal years." Mansfield's Tom Ballinger, a Kent State golfer, also had a 68 and was another shot back at 285.

Indians AP photo Jason Kokrak of Warren sinks his last putt to win the Ohio Amateur golf tournament at Springfield Country Club on Friday In Springfield. "That's strong, 5-under," Ballinger said of Kokrak. "I thought after playing a practice round that around even-par might win. But 5under, that's pretty good playing." Kokrak st:.rted the day with a six-stroke lead over Grabeman, an Ohio State junior, and a seven-shot advantage on • his former Xavier University tea111mate, Wes Homan Jr. · Playing in the same threesome with his closest pursuers, Kokrak \_Was never pressured . "It is a hard course to make up ground,'' he said. He played the front nine in even-par 35 while Grabeman was doublebogeying three holes and Homan was doubling tWo. Grabeman shot a 42 and Homan a 39, with Kokrak's lead ballooning to II shots over Homan at the turn. What's mote, Kokrak was.n't even at his best. He hit just two fairways and had six. greens in regulation . But he never made a glaring error, barely missing fairways and frequently hitting his irons to the fron< fringe; paving the . way for short chip shots that led to easy pars . · "! didn't play conservative, I just hit smart shots," he said. "Like on. No. I, I was in the rough and made sure I hit it short of the green and got up and down for my par. From there on out, I pla)'Cd pretty solid, hitting most of the greens. Plus I had a couple of good up-and-downs coming down the stretch." He also was long off the tee, but not erratic. He frequently hit 30 or 40 yards farther than his playing partners, allowing him to hit shorter irons into the devilishly slanted greens on the Donald Ross layout. Kokrak plans to take three classes at Xavier this fall to get his degree before turning pro. Then he hopes \0 go to Q-school. That's a relief to the rest of the state's amateurs: He won't be going for three in a row. "This weekend next year I hope to be playing at some pro tournament somewhere," he said with a laugh.

Hundreds of fans at the airport, and thousands more at the stadium - decked out in his brand-new jersey, of course. His every word, smile and wave during his introduction . carried live across the globe .. A blizzard of confetti. Not just one mayor on hand, but two. Beckham is worth every bit of thi s fawning . Ever since he announced in January he was leaving Europe to come to the Los Angeles Galaxy, the talk about soccer's most famous face and foot tended to fall into one of two categories: He's going to be the savior of Major League Soccer, or he'll make a big splash initially, just as Pele did 30 years ago, but it won ' t matter because Americans don't care about soccer. Neither is true. The anti- s oc~:er curmud. geons are loath to admit it, but the world's favorite game has established a solid foothold here and it's only going to get bigger. Go to any park or schoolyard on the . weekend, and somebody's playing soccer. TV ratings for last sum· mer 's World Cup were up - even with the U.S. team going home early - and ABC and ESPN think enough of the game to televise all 31 matches of the 2008 European Championship . Will adding Beckham to this mix elevate soccer to NFL status? No, and it' s ridiculou s to ex pect that of him . But with hi s good looks, ever-changing hairstyles, Spice Girl wife and BFFs '"who double as Hollywood 's A list. Becks will make sure Nancy Armour fans and fringe alike watch. He gives MLS the kind of pop culture cred . it was years from getting on its own. More im~rtantly, he and the other b•g-name players who joined MLS this season w1ll hft the level of play across the league. That helps narrow the still-considerable gap with Europe's top leagues and makes for stronger American players. Which eventually means better results at the World Cup. Which eventually generates more interest in the sport. It's a work in progress to be sure, this makeover of the United States into a full-fledged soccer nation. That was clear with the tacky di splays at Friday's news conference - and no, that's not a reference to . Posh and her outfit . The Galaxy trotted out L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is currently starring in the city's most popular soap opera after splitting with his wife and announcing his affair with a local TV newscaster. He was, not surprisingly, booed . Galaxy GM Alexi Lalas couldn't pass on the opportunity to shill team merchandise. But that is why Beckham is here . Hi s arrival is a shortcut on the road to respectability. " I think soccer in America has a lot of potential, just maybe something is mtssmg to take it to another level," he said after ' his introduction Friday. "And f'm hoping I'm going to be part of that." The naysayers love to point to Pete, saying even he couldn't convert Americans when he played for the New York Cosmos in the heady days of the North American Soccer League. But that's not a fair comparison. Americans were about as .into soccer as they were cricket when the N ASL began in 1967. Sure, there were some semipro leagues and a few die-hard fans . But there was no base, no real history of the game. The United Stales hadn't been to the World Cup since 1950, and an American had as good a chance of playing on the moon as he did in any of Europe's top, leagues. Pele, Franz Beckenbauer and Johan Cruyff may have excited fans, but there was nothing to grab onto beyond them. "Pele sort of started on page I ," soccer historian Colin Jose said. "And now we're at page 50.'' MLS is only in its 12th season, but it has already had an impact.. Where the best players once hung up their. boots in high school or college, they can now make a living playing soccer. Maybe not the $32.5 million Beckham is getting paid, but enough to keep thein playing. U.S. players are no longer novelties in Europe, with thr'ee Bnan McBride, Carlos Bocanegra and Clint Dempsey - at Fulham alone in the English Premier League. And while the Americans didn't exactly do them' MORE LOCAL NEWS. MORE LOCAL FOLKS. 16. Greg Biffle, 1,836 17. J.J. Veley, 1,804 18. ~Martin , l ,n-4 19. Gasey Mears, 1,761 20.

Now Earnhardt has the opportunity to do the same. He announced in May· that he was l~aving Dale Earnhardt Inc., and decided a month later. to sign with powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports.

Earnhardt has spent his entire career with his late father's race team, and often found himself locked ···--- into deals that the late Dale Earnhardt picked for him.

Hundreds of fans at the airport, and thousands more at the stadium - decked out in his brand-new jersey, of course. His every word, smile and wave during his introduction . carried live across the globe .. A blizzard of confetti. Not just one mayor on hand, but two. Beckham is worth every bit of thi s fawning . Ever since he announced in January he was leaving Europe to come to the Los Angeles Galaxy, the talk about soccer's most famous face and foot tended to fall into one of two categories: He's going to be the savior of Major League Soccer, or he'll make a big splash initially, just as Pele did 30 years ago, but it won ' t matter because Americans don't care about soccer. Neither is true. The anti- s oc~:er curmud. geons are loath to admit it, but the world's favorite game has established a solid foothold here and it's only going to get bigger. Go to any park or schoolyard on the . weekend, and somebody's playing soccer. TV ratings for last sum· mer 's World Cup were up - even with the U.S. team going home early - and ABC and ESPN think enough of the game to televise all 31 matches of the 2008 European Championship . Will adding Beckham to this mix elevate soccer to NFL status? No, and it' s ridiculou s to ex pect that of him . But with hi s good looks, ever-changing hairstyles, Spice Girl wife and BFFs '"who double as Hollywood 's A list. Becks will make sure Nancy Armour fans and fringe alike watch. He gives MLS the kind of pop culture cred . it was years from getting on its own. More im~rtantly, he and the other b•g-name players who joined MLS this season w1ll hft the level of play across the league. That helps narrow the still-considerable gap with Europe's top leagues and makes for stronger American players. Which eventually means better results at the World Cup. Which eventually generates more interest in the sport. It's a work in progress to be sure, this makeover of the United States into a full-fledged soccer nation. That was clear with the tacky di splays at Friday's news conference - and no, that's not a reference to . Posh and her outfit . The Galaxy trotted out L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is currently starring in the city's most popular soap opera after splitting with his wife and announcing his affair with a local TV newscaster. He was, not surprisingly, booed . Galaxy GM Alexi Lalas couldn't pass on the opportunity to shill team merchandise. But that is why Beckham is here . Hi s arrival is a shortcut on the road to respectability. " I think soccer in America has a lot of potential, just maybe something is mtssmg to take it to another level," he said after ' his introduction Friday. "And f'm hoping I'm going to be part of that." The naysayers love to point to Pete, saying even he couldn't convert Americans when he played for the New York Cosmos in the heady days of the North American Soccer League. But that's not a fair comparison. Americans were about as .into soccer as they were cricket when the N ASL began in 1967. Sure, there were some semipro leagues and a few die-hard fans . But there was no base, no real history of the game. The United Stales hadn't been to the World Cup since 1950, and an American had as good a chance of playing on the moon as he did in any of Europe's top, leagues. Pele, Franz Beckenbauer and Johan Cruyff may have excited fans, but there was nothing to grab onto beyond them. "Pele sort of started on page I ," soccer historian Colin Jose said. "And now we're at page 50.'' MLS is only in its 12th season, but it has already had an impact.. Where the best players once hung up their. boots in high school or college, they can now make a living playing soccer. Maybe not the $32.5 million Beckham is getting paid, but enough to keep thein playing. U.S. players are no longer novelties in Europe, with thr'ee Bnan McBride, Carlos Bocanegra and Clint Dempsey - at Fulham alone in the English Premier League. And while the Americans didn't exactly do them' MORE LOCAL NEWS. MORE LOCAL FOLKS. 16. Greg Biffle, 1,836 17. J.J. Veley, 1,804 18. ~Martin , l ,n-4 19. Gasey Mears, 1,761 20.

(Some examples include constrUCtion, welding, pottery, painting). There are some ihings you can do to help proteCt your child from lead. Don't let your child eat paint chips or anything else that falls on the floor. Clean dust or din with a damp mop or damp cloth. Teach your children to wash their hands before meals, bedtime and after playing outside: It is also a good idea to wash your child's toys and pacifiers often. When playing outside, it is generdlly better to play on lead-free gross or sand rather than on bare dirt.

Sen. George Voinovich. Voinovich was interested in assisting school districts in southern Ohio, and helped provide the funding for Miller High ·!khool, which is part of the SOuthern Local Schools, to r'ceive new technology. ; Along with the new technology, the school was able t(> receive video-confereficing services. Bapst then srt up the program to teach ljj.s Freshman Success oourse to the Miller High s1chool students through tae video conferencing chpabilities. . ' The Freshman Success :course at Rio Grande is di:signed to lielp students \fith issues such as study skills and time managelien!, and Bapst adapted it to fit well with the high school £tudents. ; His work with Project CHAMP and the OACHE i$ designed to help encourage more students in southern Ohio to attend college, aPd this class also helped reach that goal, he said. During the course, he and tfte students talked about tfle importance of getting a cpllege degree, how to apply to colleges and other issues related to college and careers. . Bapst taught the class two days a week, but only v~sited the actual Miller High School faciliti es a few times. Most of the time. he taught hi s class from the Rio Grande campus and interacted with the students over video screens. "It went very well," Bapst said. "I was very pleased." More than 20 students were it) t~e class, which was made up of juniorsand seniors, and Bapst said the students were very receptive. He encouraged the students to go to apply to the colleges of their choice, and the students did just that. One of the students will be attending Rio Grande in the fall; while others will be attending other colleges and universities in the region such as Hocking College and Ohio University. Bapst said that in his work at Rio Grande, he is encouraging students in the region not just to attend his university, ·but to attend whatever college best fits their needs. "We have to increase the college-going rate in southeast Ohio," . Bapst said. Attending college helps area residents attain better paying jobs, and helps the economic development of the region. Bapst said he stressed this message to his students at Miller High School, and thanked Sen. Voinovich for getting the program started. "Without his efforts, none of this would have ever happened," Bapst said. · The program proves that even small, rural schools can have the best technology to teach its students, Bapst said. He added that Rio Grande supports the program and is proud to be a part of it He is hoping to continue the class at Miller High School , continuing to teach the freshman success course through the videoconferencing equipment, and is also hoping to expand it to other schools in the region.

For additional information on the wide variety of academic and professional programs offered by Rio Ot)IO Grande, log www.rio.edu . · Rio developing Certified Medical Assistant program RIO GRANDE - The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College is cur-· rently developing another new program to help meet the needs of the medical community 'in the region, while also providing job skills for area residents. . Mark Abell, registrar at Rio Grande, explained that Rio Grande is in the process of developing a Certified Medical Assistant program. The program has not yet been fully approved and is still in the development stage, but it is a program Rio Grande hopes to offer in the fall of 2008. The program will allow students to earn associate's degrees and train them for a very important profession that is growing rapidly. Certified Medical Assistants are trained for a wide variety .of responsibilities in medical offices, Abell said. For example, these professionals can assist physicians in treating patients. The Certified Medical Assistants are able to take blood pressures, assist in exams, assist in outpatient surgeries and take medical histories from patients. In addition, Certified Medical Assistants are also trained to ·. assist with the office work for medical offices. They work in all areas,of the office, handling duties such as insurance coding, filing and working with forms and records. "Tliey do it ·aiL" Abell said. Because they are trained to work in so many areas of the medical offices, these professionals are very valuable, Abell said. "They are really in demand in doctor's offices and clinical settings," Abell said. Jobs in this field are available in the region and around the country, and they offer competitive salaries. Rio Grande is developing this program as another way to provide job skills for area residents, but also to help fill the demand for these professionals .. "Area healthcare facilities asked us if we would develop this program in order to help them meet their needs," Abell Sllid. Students in lhe two-year program will take classes on the Rio Grande campus and work in hib settings on campus, but they will also work for a set number of hours in clinical settings in the region. The Certified Medi cal Assistant program is one of several Allied Health programs Rio Grande has developed in recent years. This program is not yet finalized or· fully approved, but Rio Grande officials are hopeful it will be added to the programs it offers its students. The institution has added several allied health programs in recent years to meet the strong demand for healthcare jobs in the region. For more information on the proposed Certified Medical Assistant program at Rio Grande, or for information on any of current Allied ·Health programs offered by the institution, call Abell at (800) 282720/.

The three holidays comprise a season which has not yet become commercialized with a gift giving frenzy . Country music is popular in these times, as the words to the Trace Adkins song says "songs about loving and Jiving ... and family and God ... are songs about me." Often, country and gospel are popular with the same group of people - as demonstrated by the weeklong musical activities in the Gallipolis River Recreation Festival.

Gloria satd it really is amazing ·the turnaround the dog has made though she says you can tell "all her hard times are still with her," especially when someone makes a sudden move, causing the dog to react fearfully. Shaggy then visits the Meigs County Sheriff's Offictl before going back inside the courthouse to the Recorder's Office where Recorder ·Kay Hill has a treat waitinj!. and yes, it's cheese agrun. Dunng this entire tour, SJ:taggy know's her route even . without Donna's guidance. · After the. courthouse rounds, Shaggy soilletimes stops at S111ith · and Associates on Second Street to play w,ith Cha-Ching, a purebred ·dog owned by Cathy Crow.

Biographies of country music stars are frequently part of lhe library collections, and manY, of those are highly inspirational - such as Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash and Barbara Mandrell. Fiction about religious characters make up one of the more popular collections at Bossard Library - labeled simply "inspirational fiction." There is no attempt to separate religions or cultures. Many are about Amish families, now popular in both northern and southern Ohio. The Amish stories talk about Lancaster County, Pa., and the families living in Holmes County, Ohio. lylany of these books are written in series of three to five titles, such as "Abram's Daughters," which follows the stpry of each of four Amish ~iris after their mother dted. The library's collection of nearly 2,000 . "Christian Fiction" titles includes authors like Janette Oke, Jan Karon, Tim LaHaye, Liz Curtis Higgs and Lori Wick. Tim LaHaye is one of the most prolific inspirational authors, with a multi-volume series about the end of the world.

Then it's time for a nap at the prosecuting attorney's office until Donna leaves at 4:30p.m., Monday through Friday. At 4:30, Donna delivers Shaggy to Jenny Shirley of Point Pleasant, W.Va. at Cash 'Til Payday also on Second ..Street, where she stays until 6p.m. Then, when Jenny leaves, she drives Shaggy to McDonald's for her evening cheeseburger and, then back to the courthouse and her home in the cliffs. On Saturdays, Sha~gY. spends the day at Cash Ttl Payday with Jenny, who makes sure she has plenty to , eat and someone to talk to, including customers who stop in just to see the dog. Then, on Sundays either Donna or Rhonda come into downtown to . spend time with the·dog and bring ber food, not to mention others in the neighborhood who leave food out for Shaggy in various spots. Donna said several people have donated food forthe dog, like Keith and Carol Little arid attorney Carson Crow. "Carson said 'the dog isn't just yours, she's everybody's,"' Donna explained. Shaggy is no typical dog and there is no typical answer as to why no one has taken her home other than the extraordinary answer of having already found her home in' more than one place, with more than one person. "She bas a job to 'do," Rhonda said about why she hasn't take Shaggy home (yet) with her and how she has gone from nobody's dog to everybody's. Rhonda said one day she may take Shaggy home, but she'd bring her back into Pomeroy each day to make her rounds. "People plan on seein¥, this dog each day,' Rhonda said about <Shaggy and her routine; a routine so ingrained that if Shag$Y where to be taken out of It, she would no doubt attempt to get back to the Pomeroy cliffs and the people sbe calls home. Donna said she wishes she had the room to take Shaggy, but right now she'd have to pen her up · and feels that would be cruel to a doll like her who has this routme of visiting all her downtown friends. For Donna, Shaggy has .become a female friend in an office of mostly men. Sometimes Donna even comes into the office on Sunday, letting Sha!lgy inside to spend some ume Betty Clarkson ' numbers.

Rio completes video cotiferencing initiative with area high school RIO GRANDE - The of Rio University drande/R io Grande C~mmunity College rocently completed a program with Miller High School in Perry County tllat involved the high school students being ta\lght by a Rio Grande fa,culty member over a v;ideo-conferencing pro!11am. • Jake Bapst, dfreetor of ffro)ect CHAMP and the Ohto Appalachian Center for Htgher Education (0ACHE) at Rio Grande, e).plained that the program vtas originally set up tirough an initiative from 0 .S. Sen. George Voinovich. Voinovich was interested in assisting school districts in southern Ohio, and helped provide the funding for Miller High ·!khool, which is part of the SOuthern Local Schools, to r'ceive new technology. ; Along with the new technology, the school was able t(> receive video-confereficing services. Bapst then srt up the program to teach ljj.s Freshman Success oourse to the Miller High s1chool students through tae video conferencing chpabilities. . ' The Freshman Success :course at Rio Grande is di:signed to lielp students \fith issues such as study skills and time managelien!, and Bapst adapted it to fit well with the high school £tudents. ; His work with Project CHAMP and the OACHE i$ designed to help encourage more students in southern Ohio to attend college, aPd this class also helped reach that goal, he said. During the course, he and tfte students talked about tfle importance of getting a cpllege degree, how to apply to colleges and other issues related to college and careers. . Bapst taught the class two days a week, but only v~sited the actual Miller High School faciliti es a few times. Most of the time. he taught hi s class from the Rio Grande campus and interacted with the students over video screens. "It went very well," Bapst said. "I was very pleased." More than 20 students were it) t~e class, which was made up of juniorsand seniors, and Bapst said the students were very receptive. He encouraged the students to go to apply to the colleges of their choice, and the students did just that. One of the students will be attending Rio Grande in the fall; while others will be attending other colleges and universities in the region such as Hocking College and Ohio University. Bapst said that in his work at Rio Grande, he is encouraging students in the region not just to attend his university, ·but to attend whatever college best fits their needs. "We have to increase the college-going rate in southeast Ohio," . Bapst said. Attending college helps area residents attain better paying jobs, and helps the economic development of the region. Bapst said he stressed this message to his students at Miller High School, and thanked Sen. Voinovich for getting the program started. "Without his efforts, none of this would have ever happened," Bapst said. · The program proves that even small, rural schools can have the best technology to teach its students, Bapst said. He added that Rio Grande supports the program and is proud to be a part of it He is hoping to continue the class at Miller High School , continuing to teach the freshman success course through the videoconferencing equipment, and is also hoping to expand it to other schools in the region. For more information on the program, or for information on Project CHAMP or the OACHE, call Bapst at (800) 282-720 I.

Mark Abell, registrar at Rio Grande, explained that Rio Grande is in the process of developing a Certified Medical Assistant program. The program has not yet been fully approved and is still in the development stage, but it is a program Rio Grande hopes to offer in the fall of 2008. The program will allow students to earn associate's degrees and train them for a very important profession that is growing rapidly. Certified Medical Assistants are trained for a wide variety .of responsibilities in medical offices, Abell said. For example, these professionals can assist physicians in treating patients. The Certified Medical Assistants are able to take blood pressures, assist in exams, assist in outpatient surgeries and take medical histories from patients. In addition, Certified Medical Assistants are also trained to ·. assist with the office work for medical offices. They work in all areas,of the office, handling duties such as insurance coding, filing and working with forms and records. "Tliey do it ·aiL" Abell said. Because they are trained to work in so many areas of the medical offices, these professionals are very valuable, Abell said. "They are really in demand in doctor's offices and clinical settings," Abell said. Jobs in this field are available in the region and around the country, and they offer competitive salaries. Rio Grande is developing this program as another way to provide job skills for area residents, but also to help fill the demand for these professionals .. "Area healthcare facilities asked us if we would develop this program in order to help them meet their needs," Abell Sllid. Students in lhe two-year program will take classes on the Rio Grande campus and work in hib settings on campus, but they will also work for a set number of hours in clinical settings in the region. The Certified Medi cal Assistant program is one of several Allied Health programs Rio Grande has developed in recent years. This program is not yet finalized or· fully approved, but Rio Grande officials are hopeful it will be added to the programs it offers its students. The institution has added several allied health programs in recent years to meet the strong demand for healthcare jobs in the region. For more information on the proposed Certified Medical Assistant program at Rio Grande, or for information on any of current Allied ·Health programs offered by the institution, call Abell at (800) 282720/. From Memorial Day to Independence Day, the holidays ·are about decorating graves, displaying the flag and patriotism , and celebrating freedom. The three holidays comprise a season which has not yet become commercialized with a gift giving frenzy . Country music is popular in these times, as the words to the Trace Adkins song says "songs about loving and Jiving ... and family and God ... are songs about me." Often, country and gospel are popular with the same group of people - as demonstrated by the weeklong musical activities in the Gallipolis River Recreation Festival. Bossard Library has a large collection of music on CD - ·With gospel and country flying offthe she! ves, Harry ;Shaggy from PageC1 Wamsley gives Shaggy a drink of water to wash down the cheese. Shaggy then makes a visit to Meigs County Court and the Meigs County Commissioners Office where Clerk Gloria Kloes, who helped give Shaggy her tlrst bath, tells her she's a "pretty girl." Gloria satd it really is amazing ·the turnaround the dog has made though she says you can tell "all her hard times are still with her," especially when someone makes a sudden move, causing the dog to react fearfully. Shaggy then visits the Meigs County Sheriff's Offictl before going back inside the courthouse to the Recorder's Office where Recorder ·Kay Hill has a treat waitinj!. and yes, it's cheese agrun.

Biographies of country music stars are frequently part of lhe library collections, and manY, of those are highly inspirational - such as Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash and Barbara Mandrell. Fiction about religious characters make up one of the more popular collections at Bossard Library - labeled simply "inspirational fiction." There is no attempt to separate religions or cultures. Many are about Amish families, now popular in both northern and southern Ohio. The Amish stories talk about Lancaster County, Pa., and the families living in Holmes County, Ohio. lylany of these books are written in series of three to five titles, such as "Abram's Daughters," which follows the stpry of each of four Amish ~iris after their mother dted. The library's collection of nearly 2,000 . "Christian Fiction" titles includes authors like Janette Oke, Jan Karon, Tim LaHaye, Liz Curtis Higgs and Lori Wick. Tim LaHaye is one of the most prolific inspirational authors, with a multi-volume series about the end of the world.

Then it's time for a nap at the prosecuting attorney's office until Donna leaves at 4:30p.m., Monday through Friday. At 4:30, Donna delivers Shaggy to Jenny Shirley of Point Pleasant, W.Va. at Cash 'Til Payday also on Second ..Street, where she stays until 6p.m. Then, when Jenny leaves, she drives Shaggy to McDonald's for her evening cheeseburger and, then back to the courthouse and her home in the cliffs. On Saturdays, Sha~gY. spends the day at Cash Ttl Payday with Jenny, who makes sure she has plenty to , eat and someone to talk to, including customers who stop in just to see the dog. Then, on Sundays either Donna or Rhonda come into downtown to . spend time with the·dog and bring ber food, not to mention others in the neighborhood who leave food out for Shaggy in various spots. Donna said several people have donated food forthe dog, like Keith and Carol Little arid attorney Carson Crow. "Carson said 'the dog isn't just yours, she's everybody's,"' Donna explained. Shaggy is no typical dog and there is no typical answer as to why no one has taken her home other than the extraordinary answer of having already found her home in' more than one place, with more than one person. "She bas a job to 'do," Rhonda said about why she hasn't take Shaggy home (yet) with her and how she has gone from nobody's dog to everybody's. Rhonda said one day she may take Shaggy home, but she'd bring her back into Pomeroy each day to make her rounds. "People plan on seein¥, this dog each day,' Rhonda said about <Shaggy and her routine; a routine so ingrained that if Shag$Y where to be taken out of It, she would no doubt attempt to get back to the Pomeroy cliffs and the people sbe calls home. Donna said she wishes she had the room to take Shaggy, but right now she'd have to pen her up · and feels that would be cruel to a doll like her who has this routme of visiting all her downtown friends.

Profiles of two Hispanics will conclude the first and sixth episodes of the roughly 15-hour, seven-part 'The War," debuting Sept. 23 on PBS, Burns told a news conference. An Indian soldier's. stocy will be at the end of episode five, he said. 'There's been a hot political battle, and we tried to rise above and take the high road and respond as best we could," Bums said. "It doesn't alter the vision of the ftlm that we made and comr.Ieted a year and a half ago, ' he told a meeting of the l'elevision Critics Association. Altogether, about 28 minutes have been placed at the conclusion of the installments but before the credits, be said. . : "We've done more than we : were asked and expected to, · which is our way of kind of ltonoring our. own interest in doing this right," he said. : Antonio Morales of the J&.merican GI Forum, a : Hispanic veterans group, . welcomed the inclusion of two Hispanic veterans. · 'The two Latino Marines who are pan of the documentary 'The War' represent the honor and patriotism of all . H~sp!l"ic-Americans," he Sllld in a. statement. Burns initially resisted ~hanges to the completed ~ocurnentacy. But in April, after protests by Hispanic groups, Bums brought aboard Hispanic documentarian Hector Galan, whose role was described as helping to fold in stories of Hispanic . veterans during breaks m the · series or at the end of : episodes. . At the time, Hispanics said that response amounted to treating those veterans as an afterthought.

On my test ride, I did a reconnaissance mission for what I would consider the perfect summer afternoon-into-evening, when the sun stays out until after' 10 p.m. The itineracy: Pick up a bike near your hotel and head to the Pillais Royal gardens, a quiet rose-filled square in the middle of town, for a coffee or a stroll. From there, head by foot to nearby rue Montorgueil, a market street where you can buy cheese, baguettes and a bottle of wine . Grab a bike at the rue des Petits Carreaux station and park it at the Pont Saint Louis station near the Seine, and look for a spot on the quays for your picnic blanket. What age is the right age to take children abroad? BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP TRAVEL EDITOR NEW YORK - Christine Louise Hohlbaum and her husband took their children to Venice when they were 2 and 4 years old. Looking back, she wishes she'd waited until they were a little older. "It was expensive, they were cranky and we said next time we'd go without them," said Hohlbaum, who lives in Germany and blog.~ about life as an American stay-at-home mom abroad at http://diacyofamother.blogs.com. Despite · or maybe because of - the hassles of traveling overseas with kids, travel businesses that cater to families are booming. A 2006 sur. vey of AAA Travel profes· sionals found that 42 percent were booking more intema· tiona! trips for parents with children under 18.

"I don't know if it's going to be the cure for all evils. but it certainly fills a niche," Soeder said. "It's a biofuel crop that you're · · · growmg wnhout tymg up agricultural land." While more than 20 countries are . involved in ~altwater agnculture pro~ects for food crops, the 1dea . of usmg haloph~tes as biomass for fuel 1s a recent development, said Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. "This is a revolution for agriculture as well as for energy," said Bushnell, who has been advocating the use of halophytes as fuel sources for more than a decade but has been unable to generate much interest among federal agencies. According to Bushnell, some 250 halophytes are potential food staple crops, while thousands more might be available as fuel biomass. Gallagher and Seliskar are tending a 2 112-acre plot of seashore mallow planted last year at the edge of a farm in Sussex County. While. that crop is planted on conventional farmland, plans are in the works for an experimental plot in saline soil elsewhere. Seed yield would need to be improved before tlo_e mallow can be commercialized for biodiesel purposes, but Gallagher and his colleagues say selective breeding, tissue culturing and genetic engineering could improve the crop potential of the plant, which is native to salt marshes stretching from the Gulf of Mc;xico to the mid-Atlant,ic coast. · ORRVILLE (AP) Urban sprawl continues to creep in. but cattle and dairy farming are thriving in northeastern Ohio's Wayne County because of good soil, easy access to agricultural services and flourishin@ hay production, farmers and agricultural experts said. The county also has benefited from the decline of cattle and dairy farming in other Ohio counties. Some farmers, such as 38year-old Jill Craemer, from near Marshallville, have even moved· into the county because of the availability of equipment dealers, veterinarians and Ohio State's Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster. ''The piggest thing is the support .ind1J!iti'y," she said. There are more cattle in the county than there were 30 years ago - something that surprises longtime resi- dents who complain about houses popping up on former farmland. The county, which is within easy commuting distance of Akron, Canto11 and Cleveland, now has about 110,000 people. Terry Kline, a vetennarian with the Ohio State University Wayne County Extension office, s.Ud· the county's dairy industry is faring well .against the threat of overdevelopment. "We're goon~ be an agricultural powerhouse for a long time, but we're taking hits," he said. The county continues to lead the state by a wide margin in milk production and the number of cattle, to U.S. according Deparunent of Agriculture statistics. Wayne County also leads the state in hay production, a fact that simplifies finding feed for cattle. · Wayne County has about 88,900 cow s, including 33,900 milk COWS, the department said. Merce r County, along the Indiana state line in western Ohio, has the second-largest number of cows at 53,500. Holmes County, just south of Wayne County, is third at 51 ,200. There are a total of 1.26 million cows in the state. Farming also .remains a strong · family tradition in Wayne County, Kline said. One example: Paul Rohrer, a fifth-generation farmer from near Orrville whose ' family has been working the land since about 1860. "A lot of the farms in Wayne Coun'Y. have been in the same family for generations," Kline said. "We have grandfathers, fathers and sons working on the same farm. Three generations working on the same farm is pretty remarkable in today 's day and age." . .

S.D. farmer stn1ggles to grow · hemp on Indian reservation; says fight with DEA leaves him broke BY Cl;tET BROKAW ASSOCIATED PRESS WRil'ER Plume said. He planted hemp on his land m 2000, planning to make money by selling the seed to others, but Drug Enforcement Administration agents 'cut down his plants a few days before he· intended to barvest them. The DEA also seized plantings by his brother and sister. "All that left us in debt ancf demoralized, trying to figure out what to do because our sovereignty was directly attacked," said White Plume, a former president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. He never was charged with a cri'me, but the DEA sued him and got a court order to bar him from growing hemp. He' argued that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 gave the Sioux the right to grow hemp. The 8th U.S. · Circuit Court of. Appeals ruled against White Plume, saying the treaty did not give tribal members the right to grow the plant. Hemp is subject to federal drug laws, which require a DEA permit to grow it, the court said. "We are not unmindful of the challenges faced by members of the Tribe to engage in sustainable farming on federal trust lands. It may be that the growing of hemp fQr industrial uses is the most viable agricultural commodity for that region," the three-judge panel wrote. The court also noted that hemp is used to make many useful products, and the DEA registration process imposes a burden on anyone seeking to grow hemp legally. "But these . are policy arguments better suited for the congressional hearinr, room than the courtroom, ' MANDERSON, S.D. White ''Plume hoped his fainily·could make a livillg growing ~mp when he first pll!Dted seeds on an · lndi!!n re~tvation here, but years offighti!lg with feder- . al drug officJals have left him iri financial trouble. The White Plume family planted hemp on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation from 2000 to 2002, but never harvested a crop. Federal agents conducted raids and cut down the plants because U.S. · law considers hemp, a cousin of marijuana, to be a drug even though it contains only a trace of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, a banned substance also found in marijuana. "We had all these plans of grandeu~ and independence, to lead the way with industrial hemp," White Plume said. "None of it worked out." · White Plume plans to sell much of his ranching operation this fall. He said he probably can keep his house and at least some of the buffalo that graze among the pine-dotted ridges that give the reservation its name. His horses, a truck with license plates reading "HEMP" and other equipment likely will be sold to pay off some of his debts. . · Even though White Plume lost a court case last year, he is ready to resume the cultivation of hemp if the federaJ government ever . allows it. The plant, which is used to make rope, oils, lotion, cloth and other products, could help boost the economy of the Oglala Sioux Tribe's povertystricken reservation, where unemployment is estimated to be as high as 85 percent, ~~~~= he said. In 1998. the tribe passed a measure legalizing tbe growing of hemp on the reservation in the southwest corner of South Dakota. The law should have been enough to allow hemp farming because of the sovereignty granted to the Lakota by treaties, White Al~x. r the judges wrote. The best hopes for White Plume and other farmers who want to grow hemp are measures in Congress and Nonh Dakota's effort to get the DEA to issue licenses for the production of hemp, said his lawyer, Bruce Ellison. . North Dakota has authorized hemp growing and issued the nation 's first state licenses to grow hemp, but the two farmers with the licenses could face legal problems without DEA permits. The DEA has not acted yet on the farmers' applications, and the farmers filed a lawsuit last month asking a federal judge to let them grow hemp without being subject to federal criminal charges. Vote Hemp, an industrial hemp advocacy organization, says North Dakota is one of seven states that . have authorized industrial hemp farming. White Plume said he and his family have gone through some tough times, particularly when they were uncertain whether they faced federal drug charges. He also had to endure jokes that implied he was growing a drug. "That was the hardest, hardest time," he said. White Plume intends to spend his time working on environmental protection and treaty issues, such as an effort to regain the Black Hills that were taken from the Lakota more than 12 5 years ago. And if farmers ever are allowed to grow hemp, he's prepared to plant another crop. "We didn't give· up our struggle," White Plume said. "We still want to grow hemp and we still 'got all our plans in shape." . ARBORS AT GALUPOLIS - .. - -- -- ~- /'o !.\li'J.'

"I don't know if it's going to be the cure for all evils. but it certainly fills a niche," Soeder said. "It's a biofuel crop that you're · · · growmg wnhout tymg up agricultural land." While more than 20 countries are . involved in ~altwater agnculture pro~ects for food crops, the 1dea . of usmg haloph~tes as biomass for fuel 1s a recent development, said Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. "This is a revolution for agriculture as well as for energy," said Bushnell, who has been advocating the use of halophytes as fuel sources for more than a decade but has been unable to generate much interest among federal agencies. According to Bushnell, some 250 halophytes are potential food staple crops, while thousands more might be available as fuel biomass. Gallagher and Seliskar are tending a 2 112-acre plot of seashore mallow planted last year at the edge of a farm in Sussex County. While. that crop is planted on conventional farmland, plans are in the works for an experimental plot in saline soil elsewhere. Seed yield would need to be improved before tlo_e mallow can be commercialized for biodiesel purposes, but Gallagher and his colleagues say selective breeding, tissue culturing and genetic engineering could improve the crop potential of the plant, which is native to salt marshes stretching from the Gulf of Mc;xico to the mid-Atlant,ic coast. · ORRVILLE (AP) Urban sprawl continues to creep in. but cattle and dairy farming are thriving in northeastern Ohio's Wayne County because of good soil, easy access to agricultural services and flourishin@ hay production, farmers and agricultural experts said. The county also has benefited from the decline of cattle and dairy farming in other Ohio counties. Some farmers, such as 38year-old Jill Craemer, from near Marshallville, have even moved· into the county because of the availability of equipment dealers, veterinarians and Ohio State's Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster. ''The piggest thing is the support .ind1J!iti'y," she said. There are more cattle in the county than there were 30 years ago - something that surprises longtime resi- dents who complain about houses popping up on former farmland. The county, which is within easy commuting distance of Akron, Canto11 and Cleveland, now has about 110,000 people. Terry Kline, a vetennarian with the Ohio State University Wayne County Extension office, s.Ud· the county's dairy industry is faring well .against the threat of overdevelopment. "We're goon~ be an agricultural powerhouse for a long time, but we're taking hits," he said. The county continues to lead the state by a wide margin in milk production and the number of cattle, to U.S. according Deparunent of Agriculture statistics. Wayne County also leads the state in hay production, a fact that simplifies finding feed for cattle. · Wayne County has about 88,900 cow s, including 33,900 milk COWS, the department said. Merce r County, along the Indiana state line in western Ohio, has the second-largest number of cows at 53,500. Holmes County, just south of Wayne County, is third at 51 ,200. There are a total of 1.26 million cows in the state. Farming also .remains a strong · family tradition in Wayne County, Kline said. One example: Paul Rohrer, a fifth-generation farmer from near Orrville whose ' family has been working the land since about 1860. "A lot of the farms in Wayne Coun'Y. have been in the same family for generations," Kline said. "We have grandfathers, fathers and sons working on the same farm. Three generations working on the same farm is pretty remarkable in today 's day and age." . .

S.D. farmer stn1ggles to grow · hemp on Indian reservation; says fight with DEA leaves him broke BY Cl;tET BROKAW ASSOCIATED PRESS WRil'ER Plume said. He planted hemp on his land m 2000, planning to make money by selling the seed to others, but Drug Enforcement Administration agents 'cut down his plants a few days before he· intended to barvest them. The DEA also seized plantings by his brother and sister. "All that left us in debt ancf demoralized, trying to figure out what to do because our sovereignty was directly attacked," said White Plume, a former president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. He never was charged with a cri'me, but the DEA sued him and got a court order to bar him from growing hemp. He' argued that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 gave the Sioux the right to grow hemp. The 8th U.S. · Circuit Court of. Appeals ruled against White Plume, saying the treaty did not give tribal members the right to grow the plant. Hemp is subject to federal drug laws, which require a DEA permit to grow it, the court said. "We are not unmindful of the challenges faced by members of the Tribe to engage in sustainable farming on federal trust lands. It may be that the growing of hemp fQr industrial uses is the most viable agricultural commodity for that region," the three-judge panel wrote. The court also noted that hemp is used to make many useful products, and the DEA registration process imposes a burden on anyone seeking to grow hemp legally. "But these . are policy arguments better suited for the congressional hearinr, room than the courtroom, ' MANDERSON, S.D. White ''Plume hoped his fainily·could make a livillg growing ~mp when he first pll!Dted seeds on an · lndi!!n re~tvation here, but years offighti!lg with feder- . al drug officJals have left him iri financial trouble. The White Plume family planted hemp on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation from 2000 to 2002, but never harvested a crop. Federal agents conducted raids and cut down the plants because U.S. · law considers hemp, a cousin of marijuana, to be a drug even though it contains only a trace of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, a banned substance also found in marijuana. "We had all these plans of grandeu~ and independence, to lead the way with industrial hemp," White Plume said. "None of it worked out." · White Plume plans to sell much of his ranching operation this fall. He said he probably can keep his house and at least some of the buffalo that graze among the pine-dotted ridges that give the reservation its name. His horses, a truck with license plates reading "HEMP" and other equipment likely will be sold to pay off some of his debts. . · Even though White Plume lost a court case last year, he is ready to resume the cultivation of hemp if the federaJ government ever . allows it. The plant, which is used to make rope, oils, lotion, cloth and other products, could help boost the economy of the Oglala Sioux Tribe's povertystricken reservation, where unemployment is estimated to be as high as 85 percent, ~~~~= he said. In 1998. the tribe passed a measure legalizing tbe growing of hemp on the reservation in the southwest corner of South Dakota. The law should have been enough to allow hemp farming because of the sovereignty granted to the Lakota by treaties, White Al~x. r the judges wrote. The best hopes for White Plume and other farmers who want to grow hemp are measures in Congress and Nonh Dakota's effort to get the DEA to issue licenses for the production of hemp, said his lawyer, Bruce Ellison. . North Dakota has authorized hemp growing and issued the nation 's first state licenses to grow hemp, but the two farmers with the licenses could face legal problems without DEA permits. The DEA has not acted yet on the farmers' applications, and the farmers filed a lawsuit last month asking a federal judge to let them grow hemp without being subject to federal criminal charges. Vote Hemp, an industrial hemp advocacy organization, says North Dakota is one of seven states that . have authorized industrial hemp farming. White Plume said he and his family have gone through some tough times, particularly when they were uncertain whether they faced federal drug charges. He also had to endure jokes that implied he was growing a drug. "That was the hardest, hardest time," he said. White Plume intends to spend his time working on environmental protection and treaty issues, such as an effort to regain the Black Hills that were taken from the Lakota more than 12 5 years ago. And if farmers ever are allowed to grow hemp, he's prepared to plant another crop. "We didn't give· up our struggle," White Plume said. "We still want to grow hemp and we still 'got all our plans in shape." . ARBORS AT GALUPOLIS - .. - -- -- ~- /'o !.\li'J.'

Whether you want to sell, or just pnprove your home's value before you tap into your equity, here are five things experts suggest you consid-. er before calling your bank · l)r putting t!Je "for sale" sign on your lawn. , Make (inly renovations tbat count. Experts agree that the right renovations, especially bathrooms and kitchens, affect the mar)Letability of yqpr home . Bathrooms have become a Fo~?ular remodeling choice, and for good reason -they . have the highest rate of : return of any home addition · or home remodel. Real estate agents agree that a gleaming kitchen with state· of-die-art appliances, cork ·or hardwood flooring, stone countertop an~ lots of cupboard space can sell a house ihe instant a prospective buyer sees it. Conversely, a cramped, : ill-lit kitchen with outdated . linoleum and harvest gold appliances might actually ~care buyers away. : Improve what you'can'l renovate. If you can't afford · to renovate, update and - refresh key rooms instead. Replacing an old countertop, repainting cupboards and lvalls, and installing new door pulls and lighting make big improvements to your )litchen for a very modest price. Similar touches !Jlcrease the appeal of older. bathrooms, too. Fresh paint throughout your home is · imother low-cost, highreturn I?roject - it makes everythmg look cleaner and brighter, and buyers love a · house they won't have to redecorate immediately. PageD~ . (MS) -While many pevple homes that surrounds it, it is likely that the value of your home won't be realtzed when it comes time to sell. Do your home value homework. Many sites promising to give you the value of your home don't deliver, but at www.domania.com you can use their Value Check tool to get an . instant valuation from a real estate professional that · includes a value ran~e and neighborhood statis.ucs. If you· want to "value 11 yourself' at Domania, you can search through their database of 28 million historical home price records. Searching by price, by location or by address, you'll develop a better understanding of neighborhood trends - and if you look hard enough - what your neighbor paid for their house. different locales, then a second home might not be for you. • Look at dllfemat properties available. Just because ·you can affonl a second home doesn't mean you need one. Less expensive condos or timeshares can make you feel just as at home on a vacation and might be able to save you substantial amounts on property taxes, fees, etc. • Speak to an invt'Stment profe!fiional. If you're not currently in a position to afford a secood home but would like to be someday, consult a financial planner or advisor and tell him about your goals. If you' stay disciplined and start far enough in advance, you should be able to establish a plan wbere a second horne is less a dream and more a reality. • Know the tax laws. As mentioned earlier, your intentions with property can greatly affect the amount you'll be taxed or allowed to deduct Don't let these laws be a surprise.after you've bought your sec<ind home. Kribw exactly what you can and can't do with your property and how certain thingS like renting oilt the property will affect your tax situation.. Consula tax professional to leamabout the various tax implications that could make or break you financially. dream of· ownin~ a vacabon home, oftentimes 11 is looked at as a luxury available solely to the wealthy. That's a perreption that is largely true, as approval for second home mortg~es is more difficult than for pnma1)' home mortgages. Also, higher do\fn payments on second homes are typically required, · as lenders look to protect themselves from borrowers who might be more prone to missing a payment on their vacation home than their primary resideoce. Still, for those in the position to afford and be approved for a second borne, the decision on .whether or not to do so is no slam dtmk. Rather, the following financial considerations should be taken into account before you go second home hunting. • Costs. Even though you won't be living in.the bouse the entire year, the tladitional costs that apply to your primary residence will still be there. F'IIIlliiCing fees, utility bills and pmpetty taxes, among other things, will all still apply. in_ addition, for those looking to rentouttheirsecondhomeduring periods of time they know they won't be using it, that can potentially prove more limiting financially. Oftentintes, renting the propeny out means you're no longer eligible for certain tax exemptions. • Compare 8lld contrast. While irs lilways nicer to own .your own place, is it really worth it for you? This can be determined with a simple examination of past vacation's receipts. How much do you typically shell ont in hotel or rental fees or other traditional vacation expenses such as food and beverages? If a second home makes financial sense in that regard. then you might be making the right decision getling a second home. However, for those who typically don't spend too much time on vacauon or would prefer to travel to II a and then selling it quickly for profit, those who are looking to get into the business of flipping would be wise to take a few precautions. For instance, before flipping your lirst · house, gam a greater understanding of the tax laws pertaining to real estate. Knowing these laws could end up saving you a bundle in tax dollars that could otherwise take a large chunk out of your potential flipping profits. Should· you complete a number of transactions in a small period of time (as many mvolved in flipping houses typically do), there is a strong chance you will be deemed to be m the real estate trade or business, meaniiJg you would be subject to both self-employment and traditional income tax, where you'll be taxed at 35 percent. A way around this, however, is to hold on to the property for longer than 12 months could even turn .II mto . (you ' rental property). Should you de.~ide to go this route, the property is viewed as a capital asset and will be taxed as a long-term capital gain, meaning you could pay as little as 15 percent in taxes. ' Fortunatdy, for those people looking to get into flip· ping houses, the practice has become so popular that an abundance of resources exist that can offer you advice or guidance on how to get started. In fact, the A&E cable network even has a weekiy program, "Flip This House," hosted by flipping vl!leran and real estate baron Richard C. Davis, which offers ·Viewers an inside look at the ins and outs of flipping houses. Though flipping has grown more popular and has become more widely known, such a growth has also led to greater restrictions, many of which come from developers who find it difficult to sell the community aspect of a new neighborhood if they're selling to buyers who intend to sell the homes in less than a year. With that in mind, many developers are now requiring buyers to sign agreements that mandate they will remain in the property for at least a year, making it more difficult for flip- · pers to turn quick profits.
