They docked their boats below the stone wall and filled every available parking place in town to attend what has become known as one of Southeastern Ohio's biggest musical events. The fans relaxed in lawn chairs, some covered with large umbrellas to protect against the hot sun and any rain that might come, while others got comfortable perched on the parking lot wall, leaning against a lamp post, or sitting on one of the benches along the sidewalk. Many of the blues enthusiasts attending opted for comfort over style in their anire wearing jeans, shorts and t-shirts. It was appar· ent by their reaction to the music that they were in the right place to have a good time. From the time the music started at 5 p.m. Friday until the Bash came to a close just after midnight on Saturday, the 12 bands performed one after another.

Thought for Today: "I do not know which makes a man more conservative .- to know nothing but the present, or nothing but the past." -John Maynard Keynes, English economist ( 1883-1946). PageA4 OPINION Sunday, July 29, 2007 The demise ofWard Churchill Well, it took two-and-ahalf years, but the University of Colorado finally axed the nutty professor. Ward Churchill has been ftred for academic ·misconduct, including plagiarism. Despite those assenions, this was really about an out-of-control teacher earning nearly $100,000 a year saying things so foolish · that no institute of learning could support them. Imagine losing a loved one in the World Trade Center on 9111 and then hearing a tenured professor of "Ethnic Studies" accuse · your dead relative or friend of being "a little Eichmann," a NazL All because the murdered person worked in a capitruistic enterprise. · . That statement from Churchill is the equivalent of a teacher denying the Holocaust happened or saying that slavery wasn't evil. How could any school allow a teacher that mi&guided to instruct students? Talk about academic-malpractice! him, with barely a peep from the "free spee.ch" lobby. In fact, the ACLU's Women's Rights Project demanded that Summers rescind his remarks. Bill please, ·can we put O'Rell.ly thisNow, ACLU thing to bed once and for all? This is a far-left advocacy group with no interest in any. Predictably, the "free body's speech it doesn't speech" corps rushed to · like. Yea.lt, once in a while defend Churchill's "opin- it'll stick up for a non-libion." The ACLU urged CU eral cause, but in a connot to ftre the man, and a trived pQblic-relations bunch of other phonies move. You want free screamed "academic free- speech?

This entire sordid The PC forces destroyed epjsode demonstrates that fanatics on the left like Churchill have a buill in fan base in the media and in the corridors of higher education. The University of Colorado finally did the right thing, but it did it the wrong way. College professors may have cushier jobs than the Jl'St of us, but they also have a responsibility to tell the truth. Most of those murdered in the World Trade Center were decent human beings just trying to do well by their families. Churchill called them Nazis. For that, he deserves to be shunned forever.

PageA4 OPINION Sunday, July 29, 2007 The demise ofWard Churchill Well, it took two-and-ahalf years, but the University of Colorado finally axed the nutty professor. Ward Churchill has been ftred for academic ·misconduct, including plagiarism. Despite those assenions, this was really about an out-of-control teacher earning nearly $100,000 a year saying things so foolish · that no institute of learning could support them. Imagine losing a loved one in the World Trade Center on 9111 and then hearing a tenured professor of "Ethnic Studies" accuse · your dead relative or friend of being "a little Eichmann," a NazL All because the murdered person worked in a capitruistic enterprise. · . That statement from Churchill is the equivalent of a teacher denying the Holocaust happened or saying that slavery wasn't evil. How could any school allow a teacher that mi&guided to instruct students? Talk about academic-malpractice! him, with barely a peep from the "free spee.ch" lobby. In fact, the ACLU's Women's Rights Project demanded that Summers rescind his remarks. Bill please, ·can we put O'Rell.ly thisNow, ACLU thing to bed once and for all?

This entire sordid The PC forces destroyed epjsode demonstrates that fanatics on the left like Churchill have a buill in fan base in the media and in the corridors of higher education. The University of Colorado finally did the right thing, but it did it the wrong way. College professors may have cushier jobs than the Jl'St of us, but they also have a responsibility to tell the truth. Most of those murdered in the World Trade Center were decent human beings just trying to do well by their families. Churchill called them Nazis. For that, he deserves to be shunned forever.

Along with the title of Photographer of the Month, he also received a monetary prize and his photos will be m the running for Photo of the Year in the state. This wasn't the first time Crum's photography has received national attention.

The three individuals jumped on the burning vehicle and pulled Bob Motz to safety, suffering severe bums in the process. The accident occurred during the biggest event of the year at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park with nearly 5,000 fans in attendance. In his 26th year behind the wheel of the exhibition vehicle, Motz pulled onto the track and began his usual parade of fire with no sign of problems. Motz ftred up the jet engine and dazzled the crowd with a lengthy fire tr~il and began pulling 'the vehicle into position to make a run, down the track. But as the semi came to rest at the start line, things quick· ly took a turn for the worse. Fuel began pouring out of the left side tank of the vehicle with Motz· unaware of the problem. Track otlicials in the control tower saw the problem and tried to alert Motz and his crew of the situ· ation, but the news came too late. The fuel ignited and quickly engulfed the vehicle in flames with Motz struggling to free himself. After a few scary moments, Motz could be seen being pulled out of the right side of the vehicle covered in flames. Track workers quickly doused the flames on Motz and wen t to work on the semi. The tire burned for several minutes before the fire department was able to get the blaze under control as spectators ran for cover with a few minor injuries occurring as a result of the panic. Amazingly, Motz walked away from the accident. Since tl1e accident. Motz's family has been slowly disassembling the truck at their shop. At this time. no reason for the acciden t has been determined. ---··--, �• 6unbap ttimt• -itntfntl PageA6 REGIONAL Sunday, July 29, 20()7 Bl Inside Scoreboanl, P11ge 82 Local Sports Spotlight, Page 83 NASCAR, Page 85 • EPA-recommends.

Crum. using his Cannon digital camera. captured images of a scary explosion involving race driver Bob Motz. Motz's truck, a 20,000 horsepower, three-ton jet semi, caught fire at the starting line and was instantaneously engulfed in flames. _Motz escaped with the assistance of the track crew, . but had suffered severe burns and was airlifted to a Huntington area hospital. He has since. been transported to Columbus, where he is still recovering. "It was a vef)' unfortunate set of circumstances, and while the entire time I feared for tbe safety of Mr. Motz, I also felt a journalistic responsib!!ity to reJ:>Ort the goingson, Cmm srud. "I am honored to be recognized by the Associated Press." Along with the title of Photographer of the Month, he also received a monetary prize and his photos will be m the running for Photo of the Year in the state. This wasn't the first time Crum's photography has received national attention. A photo of the Wahama High School football team, following a double overtime upset loss to Notre Dame in the opening round of the 2006 Class A playoffs, was featured on Fox Sports' website as one of the best of that weekend. Crum is a Point Pleasant High School and Marshall University graduate. Crum, currently living in Gallipolis, is the son of Larry and Marketta Crum, and has recently become engaged to Amanda Kincaid of Leon. Larry Crum/pholo Larry Cr~m of the Point Pleasant Register has been chosen as the West Virginia Photographer of the Month for June. His file photos, taken June 23, show a jet-powered exhibition vehicle driven by Bob Motz engulfed in flames during the Night of Fire event at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park in Southside. Motz, who was in the truck when it caught fire, walked away from the incident, but he and three others were airlifted to a hospital in Huntington.

The three individuals jumped on the burning vehicle and pulled Bob Motz to safety, suffering severe bums in the process. The accident occurred during the biggest event of the year at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park with nearly 5,000 fans in attendance. In his 26th year behind the wheel of the exhibition vehicle, Motz pulled onto the track and began his usual parade of fire with no sign of problems. Motz ftred up the jet engine and dazzled the crowd with a lengthy fire tr~il and began pulling 'the vehicle into position to make a run, down the track. But as the semi came to rest at the start line, things quick· ly took a turn for the worse. Fuel began pouring out of the left side tank of the vehicle with Motz· unaware of the problem. Track otlicials in the control tower saw the problem and tried to alert Motz and his crew of the situ· ation, but the news came too late. The fuel ignited and quickly engulfed the vehicle in flames with Motz struggling to free himself. After a few scary moments, Motz could be seen being pulled out of the right side of the vehicle covered in flames. Track workers quickly doused the flames on Motz and wen t to work on the semi. The tire burned for several minutes before the fire department was able to get the blaze under control as spectators ran for cover with a few minor injuries occurring as a result of the panic. Amazingly, Motz walked away from the accident. Since tl1e accident. Motz's family has been slowly disassembling the truck at their shop. At this time. no reason for the acciden t has been determined. ---··--, �• Page Bz • &unba!' «i~ -&mtind • Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday, Ju]y 29. 2007 Sunday, July 29.

Vick was lustily jeered and booed by protesters whell" he arrived Thursday at the federal courthouse in Richmond, where he pleaded not guilty and was released without bond. "Anytime you have this kind of negative public reaction, it makes it more challenging," Geragos said. "You have to do something to try to stop the bleeding." In a statement read by Martin outside the courthouse, Vick plead~d with the public to resist a rush to judgment. The backlash seems to indicate the appeal is too late. & "The public has already trie~ him in the media," Geragos said. . Vick got more bad news Friday when Nike announced it has susr.ended his contract and w11l pull products with his name off the shelves at company stores. And Reebok, the official uniform supplier of the NFL, also said it would stop selling Vick's replica jersey at retail stores and through its Web site. Alan M.

' ' Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis 2007 Jhonny Peralta homers twice as.Indians beat 1\vins 10-4 . CLEVELAND (AP) Kenny Lof1on's homecoming ended with strawberry pie smeared across his srnilmg face. His return couldn' t have been any sweeter. "It tasted pretty good," he said. "I might have to get some more of tlhose." Jhonny Peralta homered twice and Lofton began his third go-round with Cleveland by getting three hits and playmg left field for the .first time as the Indians beat the Minnesota Twins 10-4 on Friday night. Lofton's return to Jacobs · Field - his baseball home for nine seasons - was all the 40-year-old could have asked for. He received several loud ovations and got blasted with a whippedcream pie by Trot Nixon, Cleveland's resident prankster who has been ambushing teammates . during postgame TV interviews all season. "It was emotional at first," Lofton said. "The fans·were cheering and I was trying to calm myself down the first time up. I didn't know what to expect and it was nice to .go out there and show the fans I have a little bit left." Peralta hit a three-homer in the third off Boof Bonser (5-7) and added a two-run shot in the sixth when the Indians opened a 10-0 lead for Paul Byrd (9-4). Cleveland improved to 6-0 tlhis season . agains.t Minnesota, the defending AL Central champion, which dropped its fifth straight and is barely hanging on in the playoff race. The Twins, who have been outscored 30-5 in their last three games, made two errors and manager Ron Gardenhire lambasted his team's effort. "A terrible game from our side," Gardenhire said. "We dido 't catch the ball or make plays and that's not good enough. It's getting embarrassing and that's what I told them. It's one thing to get beat and one to get embar- rassed. That's not how it goes around here and we are not going to start now. "Misplays give them 5-6 outs an - innin~ and you' re not going to wm like that. It was just a bad night for us. We just stunk, That's not acceptable. Wt;. have to be better than tlhat. We just didn't play." One of the players who helped <;:leveland dominate the division during tlhe 1990s, Lofton returned to · the Indians, who 11cquired the five-time All-Star outfielder in a trade with Texas for · minor league catcher Max Ramirez. Lofton, a lifetime leadoff hitter and center fielder, batted second and played left. He finished 3-for-5 with an RBI in his ftrst game for Cleveland since lea.ving after the Indians were elirninated in the 2001 playoffs. That was the last time tlhey made the postseason, and the Indians are hoping Lofton can help tlhem get back. "We .got a shot in. the arm;" Byrd said of LOfton's arrival. "We got somebody who lptows how to win in playoff situations, a garner. We got a guy with character and a guy we are excited to have in the clubhouse." · B'yrd allowed.three earned lUDS and 10 hits in seven innings, and got the Twins to hit into three double plays. Lofton received a loud cheer as he' ran out to left. The.: five-time All-Star center fielder could only recall playing there in an All-Star game. He got tested right.away at his new spot when Joe . Mauer, Minnesota's No. 3 hitter, hit a fly ball that tailed away from Lofton, who caught it for the third out near the warninll track before lofting it mto the stands. "Once I got that out of the wa:y, getting it in a game situatton, I was fine after that," Lofton said. As o~e fan held up a sign that said: "Welcome Home Kenny," Lofton, batting in the No. 2 hole behind Grady Sizemore, took. off his helmet to salllte fans during a stailding ovation before his ftrst at-bat. He struck out, but provided a spark during the Indians' six-run third. After Josh Barfield reached ori an error and Sizemore walked, Lofton dropped a bunt tlh;it .bounced off the plate, and by tbe time Bonser grabbed it, he had no chance of throwing out the speedster. "I always felt at home here," Lofton said, "even when I was on the visiting side." · Victor Maninez followed with a hard grounder to ftrst to score · Barfield, and Sizemore carne in on shortstop Nick Punta's wild thro'f on the potential dou, ble plar . Trav1s Hafner singled and Peralta made it 4-0 with his 15tlh homer, a 436-foot shot into the left-field bleachers. Casey Blake and Trot Nixon followed with singles, Kelly Shoppach drove in a run with a fielder's choice and Barfield singled home another run in his second atbat of the inning. Lofton had a chance to do more damage but flied out to left field with the bases loaded on reliever Ramon Ortiz's first pitch. Bonser was charged with four runs and nine hits in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest outing in 21 stans this season. Peralta connected for his 16th homer off Juan Rincon, giving him three career multihomer games. Notes: The Indians are 22: 12 in the AL Central. ...

Vick was lustily jeered and booed by protesters whell" he arrived Thursday at the federal courthouse in Richmond, where he pleaded not guilty and was released without bond. "Anytime you have this kind of negative public reaction, it makes it more challenging," Geragos said. "You have to do something to try to stop the bleeding." In a statement read by Martin outside the courthouse, Vick plead~d with the public to resist a rush to judgment. The backlash seems to indicate the appeal is too late. & "The public has already trie~ him in the media," Geragos said. . Vick got more bad news Friday when Nike announced it has susr.ended his contract and w11l pull products with his name off the shelves at company stores. And Reebok, the official uniform supplier of the NFL, also said it would stop selling Vick's replica jersey at retail stores and through its Web site. Alan M.

' ' Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis 2007 Jhonny Peralta homers twice as.Indians beat 1\vins 10-4 . CLEVELAND (AP) Kenny Lof1on's homecoming ended with strawberry pie smeared across his srnilmg face. His return couldn' t have been any sweeter. "It tasted pretty good," he said. "I might have to get some more of tlhose." Jhonny Peralta homered twice and Lofton began his third go-round with Cleveland by getting three hits and playmg left field for the .first time as the Indians beat the Minnesota Twins 10-4 on Friday night. Lofton's return to Jacobs · Field - his baseball home for nine seasons - was all the 40-year-old could have asked for. He received several loud ovations and got blasted with a whippedcream pie by Trot Nixon, Cleveland's resident prankster who has been ambushing teammates . during postgame TV interviews all season. "It was emotional at first," Lofton said. "The fans·were cheering and I was trying to calm myself down the first time up. I didn't know what to expect and it was nice to .go out there and show the fans I have a little bit left." Peralta hit a three-homer in the third off Boof Bonser (5-7) and added a two-run shot in the sixth when the Indians opened a 10-0 lead for Paul Byrd (9-4). Cleveland improved to 6-0 tlhis season . agains.t Minnesota, the defending AL Central champion, which dropped its fifth straight and is barely hanging on in the playoff race. The Twins, who have been outscored 30-5 in their last three games, made two errors and manager Ron Gardenhire lambasted his team's effort. "A terrible game from our side," Gardenhire said. "We dido 't catch the ball or make plays and that's not good enough. It's getting embarrassing and that's what I told them. It's one thing to get beat and one to get embar- rassed. That's not how it goes around here and we are not going to start now. "Misplays give them 5-6 outs an - innin~ and you' re not going to wm like that. It was just a bad night for us. We just stunk, That's not acceptable. Wt;. have to be better than tlhat. We just didn't play." One of the players who helped <;:leveland dominate the division during tlhe 1990s, Lofton returned to · the Indians, who 11cquired the five-time All-Star outfielder in a trade with Texas for · minor league catcher Max Ramirez. Lofton, a lifetime leadoff hitter and center fielder, batted second and played left. He finished 3-for-5 with an RBI in his ftrst game for Cleveland since lea.ving after the Indians were elirninated in the 2001 playoffs. That was the last time tlhey made the postseason, and the Indians are hoping Lofton can help tlhem get back. "We .got a shot in. the arm;" Byrd said of LOfton's arrival. "We got somebody who lptows how to win in playoff situations, a garner. We got a guy with character and a guy we are excited to have in the clubhouse." · B'yrd allowed.three earned lUDS and 10 hits in seven innings, and got the Twins to hit into three double plays. Lofton received a loud cheer as he' ran out to left. The.: five-time All-Star center fielder could only recall playing there in an All-Star game. He got tested right.away at his new spot when Joe . Mauer, Minnesota's No. 3 hitter, hit a fly ball that tailed away from Lofton, who caught it for the third out near the warninll track before lofting it mto the stands. "Once I got that out of the wa:y, getting it in a game situatton, I was fine after that," Lofton said. As o~e fan held up a sign that said: "Welcome Home Kenny," Lofton, batting in the No. 2 hole behind Grady Sizemore, took. off his helmet to salllte fans during a stailding ovation before his ftrst at-bat. He struck out, but provided a spark during the Indians' six-run third. After Josh Barfield reached ori an error and Sizemore walked, Lofton dropped a bunt tlh;it .bounced off the plate, and by tbe time Bonser grabbed it, he had no chance of throwing out the speedster. "I always felt at home here," Lofton said, "even when I was on the visiting side." · Victor Maninez followed with a hard grounder to ftrst to score · Barfield, and Sizemore carne in on shortstop Nick Punta's wild thro'f on the potential dou, ble plar . Trav1s Hafner singled and Peralta made it 4-0 with his 15tlh homer, a 436-foot shot into the left-field bleachers. Casey Blake and Trot Nixon followed with singles, Kelly Shoppach drove in a run with a fielder's choice and Barfield singled home another run in his second atbat of the inning. Lofton had a chance to do more damage but flied out to left field with the bases loaded on reliever Ramon Ortiz's first pitch. Bonser was charged with four runs and nine hits in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest outing in 21 stans this season. Peralta connected for his 16th homer off Juan Rincon, giving him three career multihomer games. Notes: The Indians are 22: 12 in the AL Central. ...

Linebacker Odell Thurman was gone. Receiver Chris Henry was an afterthought. Top draft pick . Leon Hall was missing. Two suspensions and a. contract· impasse thinned the Cincinnati-Bengals' first practice of training camp Friday, a reminder of what they'll have to overcome to get . back to the playoffs after a disappointing breakeven finish last season. At least they have a healthy Carson Palmer to help them through it. Unlike a year ago, when Palmer was still severely limited by his comeback from reconstructive knee surgery, he could do everything at full speed Friday and do it impressively, too. His first throw during an ll-on-11 drill was a long, perfect pass down the right sideline to Chad Johnson ihat drew a loud "ahh" from ihe crowd. "There's no comparison," Palmer said. "No insecurities about my knee or second-guessing anything. I feel confident and comfortable and healthy and in good shape and all that. So it's a lot different from last year." A few things are familiar. Last year, the Bengals also opened camp without Thurman, who was then getting ready to serve a four-game suspension. €ommissioner Roger Goodell later extended it to a full-season suspension after the middle linebacker was arrested for drunken driving.

The promotions started weeks ago and special programming soon followed. Just in case there were any regular viewers who weren't aware ESPN is going NASCAR ' racing, the network made it impossible to ignore. ESPN kicks off its return to Nextel Cup coverage this weekend with Sunday's race at Indianapolis· Motor Speedway, and is leading into it with its usual hyped-up blitz. In addition to reminders, scrolls and commercials, ESPN is airilJg 66 hours of NASCARrelated programs this week to market its upcoming coverage of the final 17 races of the season. "So excited about ESPN," NASCAR chairman Brian France recently gushed. And he should be. As ratings continue to slump - the most recent race,. the Jyly 15 .evel)t at . Chicago aired on TNJ' was down 8 percent froin last season - France is hoping ESPN and its hypemachine can end the slide. The network was launched , in 1979 and began c()vering NASCAR two years later, but after airing 262 Cup races, ESPN was locked out of a 2001 television contract that split the season between Fox, NBC and TNT. An ensuing spat with NASCAR over which ESPN programs could use footage gathered iriside the track then led the network to scale back its coverage entirely. The popular nightly magazine-style show "RPM Tonight" folded, and brief .raCing. highlights were often buried on d "SportsCenter." Lea reporter Mike Massaro, . · barre d from f11mmg mterviews inside the track, spent almost' six seasons chasing drivers to helipads and airports for access. It dropped NASCAR low on the priority list at ESPN, which focused on the NFL NBA and Major League ' Baseball, and potentially hampered the sport's ability to attract new viewers. Now that the network is back in the fold _ it signed an eight-year contract that splits the 36-race season on ABC/ESPN Fox and TNT _ ESPN is reaching out to viewers to give NASCAR a chance. "If you are a fan of ESPN and have watched any of our networks in the past eight to 10 days you've seen a tremendou~ amount of advertising," said Rich Feinberg, senior coordinating producer for ESPN and ABC. "We've wallpapered the networks to let people know Cup is coming and worked hard to get the wotd out as much as we can." Of the .17 races that ABC/ESPN has, the. first six will· be on ESPN. The final i I will be on ABC as one network will air the entire Chase for the championship for the first time since its 2004 debut. All race telecasts will include a pre-race show, be shown in high definition and include the first use of HD in-car cameras. In addition, ESPN will utilize 17 different platforms to cover NASCAR. One of them is ESPN2, which is home to the Busch Series this season. Although the network takes over Cup racing this more .., Petree and Wallace insist they'll be fair in covering their old friends, and Wallace argues he's already proven he can do it this season by critiquing his son, Stephen. Wallace owns a Busch Series car that Stephen Wallace has driven this season to mixed results. "I am kind of a talkative guy and I am going to call it like I see it," said Wallace, who spent last season calling IndyCar events for ESPN and ABC as practice. " Let me roll, let me flow. If you hold my reins back, I don't think it's going to be as good. I deCinitely have my own personality." Feinberg said the network has worked extensively . with Wallace to tram h1m as a broadcaster, _but has been careful not'to wash o~t the col~r that comes. w!th Wallace s huge P~~sonahty.

And ESPN Will also use a Tech Center, which Feinberg describes as a traveling TV studio that will showcase the, techno logy of NASCAR. Feinberg expects to package it all into a quality program , but sa1d ESPN will be careful not to dHute the product. "Good racing coverage is good racing coverage, it's the window dressing that changes," he said. "First · and foremost, we are here to document the race. It's going to be entertaining for our audience, but we're also going to be smart and not let all the toys get in the way." MORE LOCAL. NEWS. ·:..' MORE LOCAL -SPORTS. .

The 14th running of the race is Sunday. is long, Ganassi is also quick to point to the suecess Montoya has already had this season. He's won three races · since making the radical - and sometimes ridiculed - decision to leave Formula One for NASCAR last July, and all three victories came in different series. He opened the year by teaming with two other drivers to win the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona sports car event in January, followed it with a Busch Series win on the· road course in Mexico City in March and then his Cup victory last month. "What better kind of a rookie year can you have?" Ganassi asked. "Our . big push now is to get him to win on these ovals, (but) if the year ended tomorrow, I' d say it was great year. " Yes ,_ -b ut Montoya still longs for an oval victory to prove he's arrived. Although he's got plenty of experience on Indy ' s his ~ toric 2 -1/2-mile oval, he said he. won't be able to carry any of it into Sunday's race. a "It's pretty ha~d to compare," he said. "Last time I was here was seven years ago and we were running wide open all the way around. I think it's a little different with the Cup cars, it's pretty hard. "There's a lot of things that I remember from the Indy 500 that I want to try to see what works and what doesn't." That's led Montoya to seek help from some of the NASCAR veterans on the nuances of the track. He expects the Cup event to be the hardest of the three series. "The Formula One circuit was st-raightforward, and with the IRL cars it was like a fast oval, pretty flat. But that was what I used to drive every week so we knew what we had to do," Montoya said. "Coming here, I've been asking people where do you brake and that kind of thing. I try to ask a lot before going out so I get a different idea." Although Montoya won as a rookie in his only Indy 500 .appearance, he's a long shot 10 duplicate the feat this weekend. But it's not out of the realm of possibility. After all, he's proved to be a very quick learner throughout his career. He won the CART title in his rookie season in 1999, and the Indy 500 the next season by leading 167 laps of the 200-lap race. It made him the first rookie to win the 500 since Graham HilL another Formula One driver, did it in 1966. That early - and seemingly easy - success made it difficult for Montoya to appreciat"' the lore of Indianapolis. Now back here seven years later, he's got a better grasp on the significance of Indy. "AI the time, after the race, I didn't realize how big it was," he said. "It's funny because I've heard people that have done it for a long time, they get a lot of myths in their heads. But looking back on it, it's good to say that I've won it. "It's one of those things, 'Been there, done that' kind of deal, but I think it's good for my career." /I IIII N~!

Linebacker Odell Thurman was gone. Receiver Chris Henry was an afterthought. Top draft pick . Leon Hall was missing. Two suspensions and a. contract· impasse thinned the Cincinnati-Bengals' first practice of training camp Friday, a reminder of what they'll have to overcome to get . back to the playoffs after a disappointing breakeven finish last season. At least they have a healthy Carson Palmer to help them through it. Unlike a year ago, when Palmer was still severely limited by his comeback from reconstructive knee surgery, he could do everything at full speed Friday and do it impressively, too. His first throw during an ll-on-11 drill was a long, perfect pass down the right sideline to Chad Johnson ihat drew a loud "ahh" from ihe crowd. "There's no comparison," Palmer said. "No insecurities about my knee or second-guessing anything. I feel confident and comfortable and healthy and in good shape and all that. So it's a lot different from last year." A few things are familiar. Last year, the Bengals also opened camp without Thurman, who was then getting ready to serve a four-game suspension. €ommissioner Roger Goodell later extended it to a full-season suspension after the middle linebacker was arrested for drunken driving. On Thursday, Goodell rejected Thurman's request for reinstatement, saying he had to sit out another season before applying again . players · were Bengals counting on having him back. "We've grown as a team without him being here," defensive lineman Bryan Robinson said.

The promotions started weeks ago and special programming soon followed. Just in case there were any regular viewers who weren't aware ESPN is going NASCAR ' racing, the network made it impossible to ignore. ESPN kicks off its return to Nextel Cup coverage this weekend with Sunday's race at Indianapolis· Motor Speedway, and is leading into it with its usual hyped-up blitz. In addition to reminders, scrolls and commercials, ESPN is airilJg 66 hours of NASCARrelated programs this week to market its upcoming coverage of the final 17 races of the season. "So excited about ESPN," NASCAR chairman Brian France recently gushed. And he should be. As ratings continue to slump - the most recent race,. the Jyly 15 .evel)t at . Chicago aired on TNJ' was down 8 percent froin last season - France is hoping ESPN and its hypemachine can end the slide. The network was launched , in 1979 and began c()vering NASCAR two years later, but after airing 262 Cup races, ESPN was locked out of a 2001 television contract that split the season between Fox, NBC and TNT. An ensuing spat with NASCAR over which ESPN programs could use footage gathered iriside the track then led the network to scale back its coverage entirely. The popular nightly magazine-style show "RPM Tonight" folded, and brief .raCing. highlights were often buried on d "SportsCenter." Lea reporter Mike Massaro, . · barre d from f11mmg mterviews inside the track, spent almost' six seasons chasing drivers to helipads and airports for access. It dropped NASCAR low on the priority list at ESPN, which focused on the NFL NBA and Major League ' Baseball, and potentially hampered the sport's ability to attract new viewers. Now that the network is back in the fold _ it signed an eight-year contract that splits the 36-race season on ABC/ESPN Fox and TNT _ ESPN is reaching out to viewers to give NASCAR a chance. "If you are a fan of ESPN and have watched any of our networks in the past eight to 10 days you've seen a tremendou~ amount of advertising," said Rich Feinberg, senior coordinating producer for ESPN and ABC. "We've wallpapered the networks to let people know Cup is coming and worked hard to get the wotd out as much as we can." Of the .17 races that ABC/ESPN has, the. first six will· be on ESPN. The final i I will be on ABC as one network will air the entire Chase for the championship for the first time since its 2004 debut. All race telecasts will include a pre-race show, be shown in high definition and include the first use of HD in-car cameras. In addition, ESPN will utilize 17 different platforms to cover NASCAR. One of them is ESPN2, which is home to the Busch Series this season. Although the network takes over Cup racing this more .., Petree and Wallace insist they'll be fair in covering their old friends, and Wallace argues he's already proven he can do it this season by critiquing his son, Stephen. Wallace owns a Busch Series car that Stephen Wallace has driven this season to mixed results. "I am kind of a talkative guy and I am going to call it like I see it," said Wallace, who spent last season calling IndyCar events for ESPN and ABC as practice. " Let me roll, let me flow. If you hold my reins back, I don't think it's going to be as good. I deCinitely have my own personality." Feinberg said the network has worked extensively . with Wallace to tram h1m as a broadcaster, _but has been careful not'to wash o~t the col~r that comes. w!th Wallace s huge P~~sonahty.

Feinberg expects to package it all into a quality program , but sa1d ESPN will be careful not to dHute the product. "Good racing coverage is good racing coverage, it's the window dressing that changes," he said. "First · and foremost, we are here to document the race.

The 14th running of the race is Sunday. is long, Ganassi is also quick to point to the suecess Montoya has already had this season. He's won three races · since making the radical - and sometimes ridiculed - decision to leave Formula One for NASCAR last July, and all three victories came in different series. He opened the year by teaming with two other drivers to win the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona sports car event in January, followed it with a Busch Series win on the· road course in Mexico City in March and then his Cup victory last month. "What better kind of a rookie year can you have?" Ganassi asked. "Our . big push now is to get him to win on these ovals, (but) if the year ended tomorrow, I' d say it was great year. " Yes ,_ -b ut Montoya still longs for an oval victory to prove he's arrived. Although he's got plenty of experience on Indy ' s his ~ toric 2 -1/2-mile oval, he said he. won't be able to carry any of it into Sunday's race. a "It's pretty ha~d to compare," he said. "Last time I was here was seven years ago and we were running wide open all the way around. I think it's a little different with the Cup cars, it's pretty hard. "There's a lot of things that I remember from the Indy 500 that I want to try to see what works and what doesn't." That's led Montoya to seek help from some of the NASCAR veterans on the nuances of the track. He expects the Cup event to be the hardest of the three series. "The Formula One circuit was st-raightforward, and with the IRL cars it was like a fast oval, pretty flat. But that was what I used to drive every week so we knew what we had to do," Montoya said. "Coming here, I've been asking people where do you brake and that kind of thing. I try to ask a lot before going out so I get a different idea." Although Montoya won as a rookie in his only Indy 500 .appearance, he's a long shot 10 duplicate the feat this weekend. But it's not out of the realm of possibility. After all, he's proved to be a very quick learner throughout his career. He won the CART title in his rookie season in 1999, and the Indy 500 the next season by leading 167 laps of the 200-lap race. It made him the first rookie to win the 500 since Graham HilL another Formula One driver, did it in 1966. That early - and seemingly easy - success made it difficult for Montoya to appreciat"' the lore of Indianapolis. Now back here seven years later, he's got a better grasp on the significance of Indy. "AI the time, after the race, I didn't realize how big it was," he said. "It's funny because I've heard people that have done it for a long time, they get a lot of myths in their heads. But looking back on it, it's good to say that I've won it. "It's one of those things, 'Been there, done that' kind of deal, but I think it's good for my career." /I IIII N~!

For the past several years professionals have promoted the "Back to Sleep" campaign as the safest way for infants to sleep. As a grandma, this was hard for me to do because I always placed my babies on their tummy when I put them in their crib. Of course this was what I heard from my mom when she was helping me. She and countless other moms for generations thought thai tliis was the best way. It seems logical that this ·would be the best way to sleep. If the baby spit up, grav!ly would help remove it from their mouth and prevent choking and the baby always looked so comfortable all snuggled up on the tummy. But, alas, research and statistics have proven that tummy sleeping is not the best way. In mid- I 994, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) began tbe "Back to Sleep" campaign. Pediatricians and other child advocates began to encourage new parents to put their baby to sleep in the crib on the back or side. Since 2000, the AAP no longer recognizes side sleeping as a safe sleep practice. Over the past 13 years, experts have reported that the number of Sudden Infant Deaths has been cut in half. They also report that the number of babies sleeping on their back has increased to nearly 7S percent. While all child experts agree that sleeping on the back is the safest for babies, they don't all agree about co•sleeping or bed-sharing. The AAP advises that babies sleep safest on their backs alone in their cribs. Accoiding to ·the SIDS Network of Ohio, the AAP also now recognizes that the risk of SJDS is reduced in infants who sleep close to the parents in a bassinet or crib. However, there are other child advocates who tell parents that co-sleeping is safe .if certain guidelines are followed. Those in fAvor of sleep-sharing say that both mother and baby sleep better and that it makes breast feeding easier. Most P.arents will probably admit, t( questioned, that they have at one tinie or another brought their baby to bed with them . Unfortunately, . infant deaths continue to occur while the baby is sleeping with a parent or in places other than their crib. The 2006 Ohio Child Fatality Report (which contains information on Ohio child deaths that occurred in 2004) reported that there were 115 deaths due. to SIDS. Of those 115, 77 deaths occurred in locations considered unsafe, such as adult beds and couches. · Death occurred to 102 infants who were sharing a sleep surface with someone at the time of death (92 with an adult, I 0 with another child). These deaths are often caused by unintentiona! suffocation or overlying of the infant. At their May 23, 2007 meeting, the Gallia County Child Fatality Review Board agreed with the AAP and encoura~es parents to put their babtes to sleep in their own crib. There are bedside cribs and bassinettes available now that attach or fit next to the adult bed in order for the parent to sleep close to the baby. · This would provide the safest sleep environment fol'your baby. The following guidelines are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for safest sleep: • .Back to sleep:.Infants should be placed for Sleep in a supine (wholly on back · position) for every sleep; Statistics show that SIDS risk is . increased in infants who are placed on their tummy to sleep when they usually sleep on their back. • Use a firm sleep surface: A ftrrn crib mattress, covered by a sheet, is the recommended sleeping surface. • Keep soft objects and loose bedding out of the crib: Pillows, q_uilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys and other soft objects should be ke~t out of an infant's sleepmg environment. • Do not smoke during pre,:nailcy: Also avoiding an mfant' s exposure to second-hand smoke is advisable for numerous reasons in addition to SIDS·.risk, • A separate but close sleeping environment is recommended such as a separate crib in the parent's bedroom. Bed sharing during sleep is not recommended. _ • Consider offering a pacifier at nap time and bedtime: The pacifier should be 4sed when placing infant down for sleep and not be reinserted once the infant falls asleep. • Avoid overheating: The infant should be lightly clothed for sleep, and the bedroom temperature should be kept comfortable for a lightly clothed adult. • Avoid development of positional plagtocephaly (flat back of head): Encourage ''tummy time." Avoid having the infant spend excessive time in carseat carriers and "bouncers." Place the infant to sleep with the head to one side for a week and then changing to tbe other. • Finally, be sure that others caring for your infant (child care provider, relative, friend, babysitter) are aware of tbese recommendations and Insist that they follow tbem. This is your baby and you have the right to demand the safest environment for him or her. Resourees: www. cdc.gpv/sids; www.aap.c:irg; w ww .'

At that meeting, assemble a large army of McClellan appointed Sta~er 80,000 men at Gallipolis as superintendent of mtli- using Gallipolis as the suptary telegraphs and Fuller as ply center for the Union assistant superintendent of army that would march up military telegraphs. the Kanawha River.

On May 27, 1861 , Fuller squeeze the south out of the war like an anaconda. McClellan's role in .westem Virginia in 1861 was to secure the railroads between Ohio and Maryland. Because of McClellan's early success at Philippi on June 3, 1861, and at Rich Mountain on July I, 1861, and ·the Union embarrassment at Bull Run on July 21, 1861, Lincoln summoned McClellan from West Vtrginia. On July 26, 1861, McClellan was appointed commander of the Military Division of the Potomac, the main Union force responsible for the defense of Washington. Fuller worked with McClellan and later grant to use the telegraph as an important part of war strategy. Fuller helped Stager invent a cipher (disguised lind interpreted secret telegraph messages) that was much more sophisticated ·than the one used in the south. According to Fuller: ''The Confederate cipher was a systemic and ·shifting employment of the alphabet, whereby one letter was made to represent another - the important words only put in cipher, and by having the connecting words in plain English, we soon formulated a key, by which we could decipher all that fell into our hands." The telegraph operators, most of whom were under 21, lost 322 of their number in the war but were never regarded as being a part of the army, hence they never received a pension, nor are they listed in the official records. Fuller always considered this a grave disservice to the corps that he helped to build up.

The DMS pinning ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Morris Haskins Auditorium, 118 Bob Evans , Farms Hall. This is just the second graduating class for the relatively new program at Rio Grande. The students received their diplomas from Rio Grande in May, but had to complete the program over the summer. The pinning ceremony is the culmination of their work, and it will celebrate all that they have accom~lished. . Vicki Crabtree, chair of the School of Technology at Rio Grande, explained that the students in the program have dqne an excellent job prep~g for t~ei( careers, and satd the pmnmg ceremony will be a proud moment. Crabtre~ is pleased with, all the students have accomplished at Rio Grande, and ts also happy with how the DMS program has grown in such a short time. 154 Court 156 Memorable time ' .INUITES YOU TO The DMS program now offers two areas of study for it students, as they can focus on the OB-GYN (obstetrics and gynecology) concentration or on the cardiovascular concentration. Laura Lee, clinical coordinator for the OMS program, said th~t diagnostic medical sonographers are needed in the region and around the country, and the demand for those 10 the cardiovascular concentration is growing rapidly. ''There is a strong need for this in the area," Lee said. "The Baby Boomer generation is getting older." Hospitals in the region and around the country are adding positions for diagnostic medical sonographers to work in cardiovascular services, which is why Rio Grande added this concentration to its program, Lee said. "There are more and more jobs in this area," Lee said. ''There is a definite need." There is also still a very strong need for diagnostic medical sonographers working in OB-GYN , she added. Diagnostic medical sonography is a field of allied health that uses high frequency sound waves to create an image. The sonographer gathers related health information and produces images that are used by physicians to render medteal diagnoses. .Graduates of the DMS program at Rio Grande are able to work in facilities such as hospitals, clinics · and private physician s' offices, as well a~ 10 education, research and management.

For the past several years professionals have promoted the "Back to Sleep" campaign as the safest way for infants to sleep. As a grandma, this was hard for me to do because I always placed my babies on their tummy when I put them in their crib. Of course this was what I heard from my mom when she was helping me. She and countless other moms for generations thought thai tliis was the best way. It seems logical that this ·would be the best way to sleep. If the baby spit up, grav!ly would help remove it from their mouth and prevent choking and the baby always looked so comfortable all snuggled up on the tummy. But, alas, research and statistics have proven that tummy sleeping is not the best way. In mid- I 994, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) began tbe "Back to Sleep" campaign. Pediatricians and other child advocates began to encourage new parents to put their baby to sleep in the crib on the back or side. Since 2000, the AAP no longer recognizes side sleeping as a safe sleep practice. Over the past 13 years, experts have reported that the number of Sudden Infant Deaths has been cut in half. They also report that the number of babies sleeping on their back has increased to nearly 7S percent. While all child experts agree that sleeping on the back is the safest for babies, they don't all agree about co•sleeping or bed-sharing. The AAP advises that babies sleep safest on their backs alone in their cribs. Accoiding to ·the SIDS Network of Ohio, the AAP also now recognizes that the risk of SJDS is reduced in infants who sleep close to the parents in a bassinet or crib. However, there are other child advocates who tell parents that co-sleeping is safe .if certain guidelines are followed. Those in fAvor of sleep-sharing say that both mother and baby sleep better and that it makes breast feeding easier. Most P.arents will probably admit, t( questioned, that they have at one tinie or another brought their baby to bed with them . Unfortunately, . infant deaths continue to occur while the baby is sleeping with a parent or in places other than their crib. The 2006 Ohio Child Fatality Report (which contains information on Ohio child deaths that occurred in 2004) reported that there were 115 deaths due. to SIDS. Of those 115, 77 deaths occurred in locations considered unsafe, such as adult beds and couches. · Death occurred to 102 infants who were sharing a sleep surface with someone at the time of death (92 with an adult, I 0 with another child). These deaths are often caused by unintentiona! suffocation or overlying of the infant. At their May 23, 2007 meeting, the Gallia County Child Fatality Review Board agreed with the AAP and encoura~es parents to put their babtes to sleep in their own crib. There are bedside cribs and bassinettes available now that attach or fit next to the adult bed in order for the parent to sleep close to the baby. · This would provide the safest sleep environment fol'your baby. The following guidelines are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for safest sleep: • .Back to sleep:.Infants should be placed for Sleep in a supine (wholly on back · position) for every sleep; Statistics show that SIDS risk is . increased in infants who are placed on their tummy to sleep when they usually sleep on their back. • Use a firm sleep surface: A ftrrn crib mattress, covered by a sheet, is the recommended sleeping surface. • Keep soft objects and loose bedding out of the crib: Pillows, q_uilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys and other soft objects should be ke~t out of an infant's sleepmg environment. • Do not smoke during pre,:nailcy: Also avoiding an mfant' s exposure to second-hand smoke is advisable for numerous reasons in addition to SIDS·.risk, • A separate but close sleeping environment is recommended such as a separate crib in the parent's bedroom. Bed sharing during sleep is not recommended. _ • Consider offering a pacifier at nap time and bedtime: The pacifier should be 4sed when placing infant down for sleep and not be reinserted once the infant falls asleep. • Avoid overheating: The infant should be lightly clothed for sleep, and the bedroom temperature should be kept comfortable for a lightly clothed adult. • Avoid development of positional plagtocephaly (flat back of head): Encourage ''tummy time." Avoid having the infant spend excessive time in carseat carriers and "bouncers." Place the infant to sleep with the head to one side for a week and then changing to tbe other. • Finally, be sure that others caring for your infant (child care provider, relative, friend, babysitter) are aware of tbese recommendations and Insist that they follow tbem. This is your baby and you have the right to demand the safest environment for him or her. Resourees: www. cdc.gpv/sids; www.aap.c:irg; w ww .'

On May 27, 1861 , Fuller squeeze the south out of the war like an anaconda. McClellan's role in .westem Virginia in 1861 was to secure the railroads between Ohio and Maryland. Because of McClellan's early success at Philippi on June 3, 1861, and at Rich Mountain on July I, 1861, and ·the Union embarrassment at Bull Run on July 21, 1861, Lincoln summoned McClellan from West Vtrginia. On July 26, 1861, McClellan was appointed commander of the Military Division of the Potomac, the main Union force responsible for the defense of Washington. Fuller worked with McClellan and later grant to use the telegraph as an important part of war strategy. Fuller helped Stager invent a cipher (disguised lind interpreted secret telegraph messages) that was much more sophisticated ·than the one used in the south. According to Fuller: ''The Confederate cipher was a systemic and ·shifting employment of the alphabet, whereby one letter was made to represent another - the important words only put in cipher, and by having the connecting words in plain English, we soon formulated a key, by which we could decipher all that fell into our hands." The telegraph operators, most of whom were under 21, lost 322 of their number in the war but were never regarded as being a part of the army, hence they never received a pension, nor are they listed in the official records. Fuller always considered this a grave disservice to the corps that he helped to build up.

The students received their diplomas from Rio Grande in May, but had to complete the program over the summer. The pinning ceremony is the culmination of their work, and it will celebrate all that they have accom~lished. . Vicki Crabtree, chair of the School of Technology at Rio Grande, explained that the students in the program have dqne an excellent job prep~g for t~ei( careers, and satd the pmnmg ceremony will be a proud moment. Crabtre~ is pleased with, all the students have accomplished at Rio Grande, and ts also happy with how the DMS program has grown in such a short time. 154 Court 156 Memorable time ' .INUITES YOU TO The DMS program now offers two areas of study for it students, as they can focus on the OB-GYN (obstetrics and gynecology) concentration or on the cardiovascular concentration. Laura Lee, clinical coordinator for the OMS program, said th~t diagnostic medical sonographers are needed in the region and around the country, and the demand for those 10 the cardiovascular concentration is growing rapidly. ''There is a strong need for this in the area," Lee said. "The Baby Boomer generation is getting older." Hospitals in the region and around the country are adding positions for diagnostic medical sonographers to work in cardiovascular services, which is why Rio Grande added this concentration to its program, Lee said. "There are more and more jobs in this area," Lee said. ''There is a definite need." There is also still a very strong need for diagnostic medical sonographers working in OB-GYN , she added. Diagnostic medical sonography is a field of allied health that uses high frequency sound waves to create an image. The sonographer gathers related health information and produces images that are used by physicians to render medteal diagnoses. .Graduates of the DMS program at Rio Grande are able to work in facilities such as hospitals, clinics · and private physician s' offices, as well a~ 10 education, research and management.

When was the last time you went through the hall closet or-the toy box ? • Repack important items into smaller or more 'carefully packed containers. Make sure containers are airtight if they are to be stored in the attic, crawl space or an outbuilding. Rodents and roaches love living in piles of old 'photographs and memorabilia. (By the way, if you're thinking of an outbuilding, a nice ready-made storage building will cost anywhere from $500 to $3,000 depending on size; an average one sells for about $1,200.) • Closet organization systems are better and cheaper than ever. Look into what's available and make full use of precious closet space. Consider splitting your wardrobe into summer and winter. Creating an offseason closet somewhere in your home can make your everyday wear easier to get at. • Discard outdated medications (they all have a shelf life). Check with your local waste haulers on how to properly accomplish this. • Summer swim things (goggles, fins, . inllatables and other items made of rubber and plastic) are best stored in a cool area like a crawl space or basement. Never store anything that is heat-sensitive in an attic. IN THE KITCHEN Rollouts and pullouts in the kitchen make lots of sense, but there are other ways to make good use of available space: • Use a flat sheet of plastic between two tiers of short glasses (or other dishware), to take full advantage of the shelf-height in a kitchen cabinet. • The cabinet over the wall oven or the one over the refrigerator are usually used to store stuff that is rarely used. This is because it is impossible to see what these cabinets contain without getting up on a stool or step ladder. Install vertical dividers in these puppies and you instantly create easy-to,access storage for trays, sheet pans, cutting boards, drying racks, broiler pans and more. When the door is opened you see what the cabinet contains front to back. • Nest pots and lids se~a­ rately from each other.

Prevention best bet for mosquito control . BY HAL KNEEN I! PageD2 FARM WASHINGTON - The Democratic -con trolled House passed legislation Friday that combines billions in aid for farmers with· money for low-income nutrition programs, defying a veto threat from President Bush over the bill's largesse to crop producers. The meas11re, passed on a vote of 231-191, devotes more moo~y to conservation, renewable energy, nutrition and specialty crop programs than in the past but leaves in place- and in some cases increases subsidies to producers of major crops such as com and soybeans at a time of record-high prices. , It reflected a delicate sttaddie for Democrats writing their first . farm bill in more than a decade, who struggled to balance the needs of firsttemi, farm-state hiwmakers against the demands of liberals seeking more money for . environmental and nutrition pro=. Speaker · Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the measure "signals change and shows a new direction.in our farm policy," but it fell well short of the changes man~,in her party had demanded. "More needs to be done, but we have gone in the right direction for change," Pelosi said in a· nearly 15-minute speech in which she defended her support for the measure, which -lias earned her barbs · from some - enviroiunental and anti-h!lllger activists. Demoerats rallied around the bill, however, after debate turned bitterly partisan over a tax measure included to partial! y finance an increase of some $4 billion for food stamp and other nutrition programs. The plan would impose new taxes on certain multinational' companies with U.S . subsidiaries. Democrats said they were closing a loophole and cracking down on foreign tax-dodgers, while Republicans called it a massive tax hike that would affect manufacturers that Plan to show off your best horticultural crops at the Mosquitoes are back!

The spat sapped the farm bill of much of its customary bulletproof regional appeal, turning many rural Republicans against the measure. All but 19 Republicans opposed . it, leaving Democrats well short of the margin they would need to override a veto. . "This is an unprecedented moVe to use a farm bill as a vehicle to increase taxes," said Rep. Adam Putnam of Florida, the No. 3 Republican. "We could have put the House imprint on the farm bill; and now it is veto bait, and that is a tragedy." Agricult11re Secretary Mike . I ohanns said Democrats had narrowed sup{'Ort for farm programs by mcluding the tax measure iii the bill. "If there was ever a time when our farm programs needed friends, it is now," he said. the legislation aims to ban subsidies to farmers whose income averages more than $1 million a year, down from the current limit of $2.5 million. It also would stop farmers from collecting payments for multiple farm businesses. Still, it includes about $42 billion in assistance to farmers. It was approved after Democrats quashed a rebellion from one of their own, Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., who teamed with conservative GOP budget hawks and urban and SUburban Democrats on an amendment to wean farmers from government payments. It would have imposed stricter income · limits· on farmers, barring subsidies to those making an average of $250,000 or more annually, and would have steered more money to conservation, nutrition, specialty crop and mrai development programs. The. amendment lost on a lopsided vote, but Pelosi credited it with creating the pressure to invest more farm bill resources in nontraditional programs. "I had high hopes that this Congress - given. market conditions and oor commitment to a new direction for this country - would have the stomach to reform these outdated and unfair policies," Kind said in a staternent. But he said his efforts had prompted increases for conservatiOn and nutrition programs, and made "some modest inroads" on corbing subsidies. It wasn't enough for some Democrats - r4 of them joined Republicans in .voting against the bill - but that was a stron$'showing reflecting a last-mmute scramble by party leaders to sweeten the measure for waverers. . They shored up domestic nutrition funding and added $840 million for an intemational food aid program to earn the votes of antihunger activists including Rep. James P. McGovern, D-Mass. Bla.:;k lawmakers including Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., were swayed by the inclusion of $100 million for settlement of Clinton administration racial discrimination claims by black.fatmers. To find the extra money for those lith-hour add-ons, they dipped into crop insurance funding. Intense maneuvering by Pelosi and Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., on those and severa! other narrow changes included at the behest of individual members helped win over dozens of Democrats whose votes compensated for the GOP requires the farms to pay a action. civil penalty and give the The EPA maintains its government permission to policy is the most effective monitor the facility for an option while · meth6ds of EPA study of emissions. tracking farm emissions are Nearly 2,600 animal feed~ studied. ing operations, the majority Researchers from eight of them hog farms, have universities this summer entered into agreement with began a 30-month study of the ·EPA. the emissions of animal "The EPA decided to give . feeding operations at 24 them blanket amnesty in the sites in nine states.

" EPA spokesman in its 2-1 ruling that the EPA was exercising a valid use of the agency's enforcement discretion by entering into agreements with the farms. A call to the groups' attorney, Brent J. Newell, was not immediately returned. Luke W. Cole, the executive director. of the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment, said it was reviewing the decision to dttermine its next course of defections. "There was a considerable lobbying effort" to satisfy Democrats who were leaning toward voting against the bill, said Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D-S.D. Bush's veto threat ''enhanced the leverage of the McGovern nutrition coalition," she said, adding that Peterson "~ulled a. rabbit out of a hat ' commg up with sweeteners to appease fence-sitters . The overall measure · was a huge victory for farmers, who got much of what they asked for in a year when they sometimes feared their priorities would be trumped by Democrats' talk of over- · hauling the way agricultural money is al}ocated. It includes a long-sought deal to require country-oforigin labeling for meats and other foods, breathing new life into a five-year-old law that has been dell!yed repeatedly by opposition from food retailers and meatpackers. The bill would soften penalties for violating the rule, which is to go into effect next year. . The tax provision posed a dilemma for many farm-s(8te Republicans, who were loath to vote for what their party and the Bush administtation derided as tax inc~e. but eager to support an agricul· ture bill championed by their farmers. Some, like Reps. Dennis Rehberg of Montana, and · Bobby Jindal of Lotrisian;~, waited until the Democrats gained the votes necessary for passage to cast their votes in support of the bill. The day before, Rehberg issued a statement excoriating the biU. The measure also directs the Agriculture Department to investi~ate which estates have rece1ved payments on behalf of dead farmers and recoup the money. The department sent $1.1 billion in farm payments to more than 170,000 dead people over a seven-year ~riod, congressional investigators reported this week. The current farm law expires Sept. 30. The Senate' is due to begin its consideration of the legislation in September. a Dave Ryan said in a statement. ''Additionally, the first-ever national study of emissions from poultry, dairy and swine operations can continue without delay." Organizations with ties to the livestock industry have supported the EPA's policy on agreements, and on Tuesday . applauded the court's ruling. Randy Speonk, the chairman of the National Pork Producers Council's environmental policy committee, said the agreements between the EPA and animal feeding operations were a necessary bridge while an emissions study is completed.

Prevention best bet for mosquito control . BY HAL KNEEN I! PageD2 FARM WASHINGTON - The Democratic -con trolled House passed legislation Friday that combines billions in aid for farmers with· money for low-income nutrition programs, defying a veto threat from President Bush over the bill's largesse to crop producers. The meas11re, passed on a vote of 231-191, devotes more moo~y to conservation, renewable energy, nutrition and specialty crop programs than in the past but leaves in place- and in some cases increases subsidies to producers of major crops such as com and soybeans at a time of record-high prices. , It reflected a delicate sttaddie for Democrats writing their first . farm bill in more than a decade, who struggled to balance the needs of firsttemi, farm-state hiwmakers against the demands of liberals seeking more money for . environmental and nutrition pro=. Speaker · Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the measure "signals change and shows a new direction.in our farm policy," but it fell well short of the changes man~,in her party had demanded. "More needs to be done, but we have gone in the right direction for change," Pelosi said in a· nearly 15-minute speech in which she defended her support for the measure, which -lias earned her barbs · from some - enviroiunental and anti-h!lllger activists. Demoerats rallied around the bill, however, after debate turned bitterly partisan over a tax measure included to partial! y finance an increase of some $4 billion for food stamp and other nutrition programs. The plan would impose new taxes on certain multinational' companies with U.S . subsidiaries. Democrats said they were closing a loophole and cracking down on foreign tax-dodgers, while Republicans called it a massive tax hike that would affect manufacturers that Plan to show off your best horticultural crops at the Mosquitoes are back!

CLASSIFIED House passes multibillion-dollar fann bill: money for fanners, low-income nutrition BY JUUE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS ASSOCI~TED PRESS WRITER NutriHon largest slice of fann bill Food lllamps and ollw ootrtlional programs account ror more than two-thirds ol the CUITBOI HDUII! !ann bill. • Fenn bill, percent d ID!III, ftiCIII yean 2008 to 2017" ~~~~~-:---~ iiOORce: ~ AQrlwlluro N> provide millions of jobs in their districts. The spat sapped the farm bill of much of its customary bulletproof regional appeal, turning many rural Republicans against the measure. All but 19 Republicans opposed . it, leaving Democrats well short of the margin they would need to override a veto. . "This is an unprecedented moVe to use a farm bill as a vehicle to increase taxes," said Rep. Adam Putnam of Florida, the No. 3 Republican. "We could have put the House imprint on the farm bill; and now it is veto bait, and that is a tragedy." Agricult11re Secretary Mike . I ohanns said Democrats had narrowed sup{'Ort for farm programs by mcluding the tax measure iii the bill. "If there was ever a time when our farm programs needed friends, it is now," he said. the legislation aims to ban subsidies to farmers whose income averages more than $1 million a year, down from the current limit of $2.5 million. It also would stop farmers from collecting payments for multiple farm businesses. Still, it includes about $42 billion in assistance to farmers. It was approved after Democrats quashed a rebellion from one of their own, Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., who teamed with conservative GOP budget hawks and urban and SUburban Democrats on an amendment to wean farmers from government payments. It would have imposed stricter income · limits· on farmers, barring subsidies to those making an average of $250,000 or more annually, and would have steered more money to conservation, nutrition, specialty crop and mrai development programs. The. amendment lost on a lopsided vote, but Pelosi credited it with creating the pressure to invest more farm bill resources in nontraditional programs. "I had high hopes that this Congress - given. market conditions and oor commitment to a new direction for this country - would have the stomach to reform these outdated and unfair policies," Kind said in a staternent. But he said his efforts had prompted increases for conservatiOn and nutrition programs, and made "some modest inroads" on corbing subsidies. It wasn't enough for some Democrats - r4 of them joined Republicans in .voting against the bill - but that was a stron$'showing reflecting a last-mmute scramble by party leaders to sweeten the measure for waverers. . They shored up domestic nutrition funding and added $840 million for an intemational food aid program to earn the votes of antihunger activists including Rep. James P. McGovern, D-Mass. Bla.:;k lawmakers including Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., were swayed by the inclusion of $100 million for settlement of Clinton administration racial discrimination claims by black.fatmers. To find the extra money for those lith-hour add-ons, they dipped into crop insurance funding. Intense maneuvering by Pelosi and Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., on those and severa! other narrow changes included at the behest of individual members helped win over dozens of Democrats whose votes compensated for the GOP requires the farms to pay a action. civil penalty and give the The EPA maintains its government permission to policy is the most effective monitor the facility for an option while · meth6ds of EPA study of emissions. tracking farm emissions are Nearly 2,600 animal feed~ studied. ing operations, the majority Researchers from eight of them hog farms, have universities this summer entered into agreement with began a 30-month study of the ·EPA. the emissions of animal "The EPA decided to give . feeding operations at 24 them blanket amnesty in the sites in nine states.

" EPA spokesman in its 2-1 ruling that the EPA was exercising a valid use of the agency's enforcement discretion by entering into agreements with the farms. A call to the groups' attorney, Brent J. Newell, was not immediately returned. Luke W. Cole, the executive director. of the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment, said it was reviewing the decision to dttermine its next course of defections. "There was a considerable lobbying effort" to satisfy Democrats who were leaning toward voting against the bill, said Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D-S.D. Bush's veto threat ''enhanced the leverage of the McGovern nutrition coalition," she said, adding that Peterson "~ulled a. rabbit out of a hat ' commg up with sweeteners to appease fence-sitters . The overall measure · was a huge victory for farmers, who got much of what they asked for in a year when they sometimes feared their priorities would be trumped by Democrats' talk of over- · hauling the way agricultural money is al}ocated. It includes a long-sought deal to require country-oforigin labeling for meats and other foods, breathing new life into a five-year-old law that has been dell!yed repeatedly by opposition from food retailers and meatpackers. The bill would soften penalties for violating the rule, which is to go into effect next year. . The tax provision posed a dilemma for many farm-s(8te Republicans, who were loath to vote for what their party and the Bush administtation derided as tax inc~e. but eager to support an agricul· ture bill championed by their farmers. Some, like Reps. Dennis Rehberg of Montana, and · Bobby Jindal of Lotrisian;~, waited until the Democrats gained the votes necessary for passage to cast their votes in support of the bill. The day before, Rehberg issued a statement excoriating the biU. The measure also directs the Agriculture Department to investi~ate which estates have rece1ved payments on behalf of dead farmers and recoup the money. The department sent $1.1 billion in farm payments to more than 170,000 dead people over a seven-year ~riod, congressional investigators reported this week. The current farm law expires Sept. 30. The Senate' is due to begin its consideration of the legislation in September. a Dave Ryan said in a statement. ''Additionally, the first-ever national study of emissions from poultry, dairy and swine operations can continue without delay." Organizations with ties to the livestock industry have supported the EPA's policy on agreements, and on Tuesday . applauded the court's ruling. Randy Speonk, the chairman of the National Pork Producers Council's environmental policy committee, said the agreements between the EPA and animal feeding operations were a necessary bridge while an emissions study is completed.

Their front-yard kitchen gardens, with everything from vegetables to herbs and salad greens, are a source of food, a topic of conversation with the neighbors and a political statement. Leigh Anders, who tore up about half her front lawn four years ago and planted vegetables, said her garden sends. a message that anyone can grow at least some of their food.. That task should shift from agribusiness back to individuals and their communiti~s. said And,crs, of. Viroqua, Wise. "This movement can start with simply one tomato plant growing in one's yard," she said. While people have been growing food in their backyards forever, front-yard vegetable gardens are a growing outlet for people whose backyards are too shady or too small, as well as those who want to spread their beliefs one tomato at a time. Many hope their gardens will revive the notion of victory gardens, which by some estimates provided 40 percent of America's ve g• etables during World War II. The topic has gotten more buzz nal!onally as bloggers chronicle their experiences and environmentalists have SCI'J.Itinized the effects of chemicals and water used to grow lawns.

Some even have their own built-in lift systems so that they can easily be reached from ground level. Pull the car out of the garage l)lld there it is: easy-access Fritz Haeg, an artist and architect, has done yards in Kansas, California and New Jersey as P.art of a project called "Edtble Estates." Haeg, who is working on a book, due out in 2008, called "Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn," says he's been overwhelmed by the response. He gets hundreds of e-mails every month from people who want to be next. "People are obsessed with their homes, creating these coooons that isolate them," he said. "Titis project is about reaching out, getting them connected to their streets." Some of the neighbors are less than thrilled. Sonic municipal codes limit the percentage of a yard that can be planted with anything other than trees and grass. "Especially in the first three years, I got a lot of code violations," said Bob Waldrop of Oldalioma City. He planted his corner lot almost entirely with fruit trees, berry bushes and vegetables. "Now that the plantings have matured, it's pretty," ne said. "It wasn't so pretty the first couple years.' Shannon McBride, 47, of Huntsvill.e, Alabama, kept grass borders around her front-yard vegeta~le beds. "We promised our neighbor we wouldn't grow com, because that looks kind of tacky," she said. The neighbor also thought tomatoes looked "untidy," so McBride and her husband are growing bell peppers, carrots, chives, herbs, two kinds of beans, beets, okra, lettuce and . cucumbers. Her corn is off to the side of the house. An anonymous complaint about Karen Baumann's in front-yard garden storage as never before. • Don't store garden tools and equipment in the garage if you can possibly avoid it. Use an outbuilding instead. Gardening items do well in such storage. Why muddy up the garage? Free it up for clean storage. • Sell your wooden ladder to someone who has the available weatherproof storage and buy an aluminum one that can be kept outside. Aluminum ladders do really well mounted on an exterior wall with hooks made for the task. Sacramento, Calif. led to a fight by local gardeners against the city's· landscaping code, which stated that gardens could take up no more than 30 percent of the front yard. After a public hearing where Baumann's 11-yearold twin sons testified, dressed as a carrot and a tomato, the city changed the law. "I'm always asked, 'What will it look like in ·the winter?'" said Rosalind Creasy, a landscape designer who has been writing about edi· ble landscal'ing for 25 years. "If you destgn it well and it has an herb garden, it will look fme. One of the dumb- . est things I see is dead lawns in the winter. They're brown for six months of the year. How beautiful is that?" Some front-yard gardeners say that ripping out the sod and · putting in vegetables gave the neighbors their firstever excuse to speak to them. "It's kind of like having a dog," said Nat Zappia, 32, a graduate student. "No one talked to us until we had a dog.'' Zappia turned the front yard of the home he and his wife rent in Santa Manica, Calif. into a vegetable garden, with his landlord's permission. He estimates it supplies 35 to 40 percent of the food they eat. Zappia took a master gar. dening class at the East Los An~eles University of Cahfomia extension program that was focused on growing food. Other gardeners were inspired by books they've read, such as "Gaia's Garden: A Guide to HomeScale Permaculture" and · "The Year l Ate My Yard:" The gardens don't cost much to plant. Zappia estimates he spent about $100 on the garden and says he and his wife save about' $200 to $300 a year on their food costs. Waldrop, in Oklahoma City, said the garden's organic fruit allowed him to eat in a way he could never afford if he bought eV'e~t~ thing at the grocery storei , "It's like money: ~wing ', in your yard," he srud. .

BSERGENT@M'li)AJLYSENT1NaCQ'o.1 POMEROY -Although no beer was taken, a bag with cash and vendor checks was taken from a Miller Lite delivery bUck while parlred at the Par Mar Store (the Beacon) late last week at the intersection of Ohio 833 and County Road 7A. Pomeroy Chief of Police Mark E. Proffitt said his department has two persons of interest in the case who have allegedly been caught on the 'store's surveillance camera when they entered the. store, asking for change. Proffitt said a man and woman entered the store and first asked the clerk to make change for a large bill but the clerkoouldn't make the change due to the store's policy of not keeping large bills in the register.· The suspects then approached the Miller Lite driver while in the store who gave the couple change. "The suspects were fishing for money," Proffitt said about the scam to ask the clerk and driver for change. The couple then exited the store and the male allegedly took the driver's cash bag rest!!J.li11Si~ tile truck's which Proffitt said had an · Widder· mihed amount of cash and several checks from ven&rs. Wmters with the Pomeroy Street Department did not observe the man get into the truck thoul',h they saw him running fromthe truck and getting into a light blue, older niodel . Chevrolet Cavalier which the female was driving. Witnesses describe the Cavalier as being almost a sky blue or primer gray with a left fender which is lighter than the rest of the car. . ''This case remains under investigation and we feel it will be solved soon, it's only a matter of time," Proffitt said "If there is a way to defraud someone, crooks will find it." Proffitt added he hopes local retails will be on the lookout for this type of "casing" behavior and criminals "fishing" for money in a similar matter.
