WASHINGTON- Noted Ohio restaurateur and education proponent Bob Evans, who died on June 21 at 89 years of age in Cleveland, Ohio, was honored by the Appalachian Regional Commissiol) (ARC) at its summer meeting in Florence, Alabama on July 26, 2007. . . · ARC Ohio State Alternate Fred Dee! introduced a motion that recognized "Bob Evans' dynamic and unswerving ~upport for the Appalachian Higher Education network" and extended its "condolences and respects to his surviving wife and children, honoring him as a champion of Appalachian youth." The motion was passed unanimously by the Commission. In his remarks introducing the motion, Deel noted that there was much more to Bob Evans than his successful restaurants. "I n Appalachia, we remember him as much for his interest in education as in good food ," Deel said. "The model for ARC's higher education centers, the Ohio Appalachian Center for Higher Education. OACHE, was founded in 1993 at his suggestion when he was a member of the Ohio Board of Regents. He was determined to improve educMional opportunities for the young people of Appalachia and did something about it. That was hi s way." Not only was Evans instrumental in the ~re ­ ation of 0ACHE, it was because of his generou s personal conlribution of $150,000 that the West Virginia A~ces s Center for Highe r Education was able to weather~ financial cri sis and cominue ils work . In expre~s ing her wholehearted support for the motion by Dcel, ARC Federal Co-Chair Anne B. Pope called Evans "a great m<~n and a visionary and one of the great Appalachians to ever be an Appal achian ."

Calvin Neyland Jr., 43, of Findlay, was being held without bond in the Wood County jail after being arraigned Thursday by...,ideo in Perrysburg Municipal Court on two counts of aggravated murder. Neyland is accused of killing Douglas Smith, 44, · of Sylvania Township near Toledo, and Thomas Lazar, 58, of Belle Vernon, Pa., on Wednesday afternoon at Liberty Transportation in Perrysburg Township near Toledo. Lazar, a retired Pennsylvania state trooper, had been sent to the Ohio office to assist in firing Neyland, officials said.

As for the excavated dirt that has been piling up on the Mason side of the bridge near the ramp, Filson said that is being dumped on private property after contractors reached an agreement with the owner who is com- pensated for allowing the contractor to use their land to dump the left over fill dirt. These dumping sites are normally close to the work site·. "I personally feel once this project is completed it will be a very successful one, and we're maintaining the existing bridge in a safe way until we can operi the new one," Filson said, stressing she and other ODOT employees are from Meigs County, many living in Meigs County who continue to drive across the · existing bridge just as their families do, just as the general public does.

In GeWMllf f'hank rou JJBI' Ballin ·Plant Christa Martin Country Cousins Dear Annie: After my divorce, I started dating again. l did not want a serious relationship, just a good time. A friend introduced me to "Jack," who, she said, was a fun · guy. We had a great time, and I gave him my cell number. Jack is nice and cute, but clingy and dependent. I saw the warnilrg signs the next day, when he started calling me every two hours. Well, three years and tons of phone calls later, we are still dating. Jack lives with his mother, has ' full custody of his 10-yearold daughter and is always broke. I tried to end the relationship twice . I have cheated on him. Do I need counseling? Could you . please find a counselor 'who will help me get rid of Jack? - Stuck in a Rut Dear Stuck: You need CQUnseling only if you can't · find your backbone. Tell Jack you think it's time you each dated others, and ask him not to call you anymore. Practice repeating this in front of a mrrror so :.you can keep saying it even .If Jack responds .poorly. If : you can't do it in person, do : it over the phone and hang · up if he becomes difficult :- not, the nicest method, :but it may be necessary. If -he calls your cell phone, let it go to voicemail. If necessary, ·block his calls altogether. If he comes to your door, refuse to open it,- no matter how much he begs, and pleas~ do not engag~ in conversatwn by yelling through the keyhole. There is no reason to accept another date from Jack unless you are too lonely or b<ned to be alone or to actively look for someone else, in which case it becomes not Jack's dependency, but yours. Then, yes, . you may need counseling. Dear Annie: I am in my late 40s and one of the oldest of eight siblings. When - even a few of.us get together, there can be a lot of peopie and small children running around. The last time we got together at my house, no one watched the children, who proceeded to shake my newly planted trees, spill tea all over the patio, help themselves to what was in my fridge, cut in ~ ARoUND ToWN ANNIE'S MAI-LBOX charity auction to benefit building fund BREEOOMYO~ILYSENTINEL .

Lazar, a retired Pennsylvania state trooper, had been sent to the Ohio office to assist in firing Neyland, officials said.

As for the excavated dirt that has been piling up on the Mason side of the bridge near the ramp, Filson said that is being dumped on private property after contractors reached an agreement with the owner who is com- pensated for allowing the contractor to use their land to dump the left over fill dirt. These dumping sites are normally close to the work site·. "I personally feel once this project is completed it will be a very successful one, and we're maintaining the existing bridge in a safe way until we can operi the new one," Filson said, stressing she and other ODOT employees are from Meigs County, many living in Meigs County who continue to drive across the · existing bridge just as their families do, just as the general public does.

A friend introduced me to "Jack," who, she said, was a fun · guy. We had a great time, and I gave him my cell number. Jack is nice and cute, but clingy and dependent. I saw the warnilrg signs the next day, when he started calling me every two hours. Well, three years and tons of phone calls later, we are still dating.

Could you . please find a counselor 'who will help me get rid of Jack? - Stuck in a Rut Dear Stuck: You need CQUnseling only if you can't · find your backbone.

There is no reason to accept another date from Jack unless you are too lonely or b<ned to be alone or to actively look for someone else, in which case it becomes not Jack's dependency, but yours.

Astronauts take spacewalk to install station beam; NASA scrutinizes shuttle gouge foP AEROSPACE WRITER Lewis and Clark stepped here! ' Dave Barry Clark failed to notice it. They may have been hardy, but apparently ·they were not the sharpest quills on ihe porcupine, if you get my drift. One big advantage of the 1-90 route is that it takes you to some of the amazing wonders of the West, such as the Com Palace in downtown Mitchell , S.D. This is, I swear, one of the biggest tourist attractions in Souih Dakota (official state motto: "Gateway To North Dakota"). The Com Palace is a large, Moorishstyle building that has its exterior walls covered with an enormous mural made entirely from com. The theme of the mural is changed every year, although you could make the argument that the true theme is always: "We have way too much corn." But, of course, the bi ggest South Dakota tourist attraction is ML Rushmore. You' ve probably seen hundreCls of pictures of this famous monument, but until you are standing ri ght in front of it, in person, you cannot trul~ appreciate the fact that it s only 8 inches talL There's a big lens in front of it. No, seriously, Mt. Rushmore is large and impressive, and you cannot help but feel a sense of awe as you look up at the gran- ite-carved faces of those four great American leaders - George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Don Shula - gazing out from the purple mountain's majesty, across the fruited plain, looking as though they are surveying the mighty nation that they helped to create and thinking: "Since when is com a fruit?" Mt. Rushmore is located in ihe Black .Hills, which get iheir name from the fact that they are brown, gray and green. They were caused by erosion. Jq fact, just about all the major natural attractions you find in the West - the Grand Canyon, the Badlands, the Goodlands, the Mediocrelands, the Rocky Mountains and Robert Redford - were caused by erosion. Apparently, at some point, a hug!l wave of erosion swept over the West, leaving these attractions. We know this because about every 50 feet out there the National Park Service or some other agency has set up a sign that says something like POINT OF INTEREST, and when you stop to read it, it always says something like: "The buttes you see here were created by erosion 350 million years ago during the Curvaceous Period, when the West was covered by an ocean.'' The National Park Service apparently has some kind of substance-abuse problem, because it is absolutely convinced ihat the West used to be covered by an ocean, although if this were •true you would think that there would be some evidence of it today in the form of, for example, a pet- rifled boardwalk. Soine of the other natural wonders we saw on our trip . were: • At least 500 billion flu- ; orescent red-orange traffic cones, carefully rlaced on . every few feet o highway · across I ,000 miles and four states, alerting, us that road crews were working ahead. • One guy (in Wyoming, . I believe) who was actually working on the road. · • A sign outside of the cow-intensive community · of Dimock, S.D., that said, "Say it with cheese." But the highlight of the trip was Yellowstone , National Park, which contains many amazing natural · wonders that were caused by erosion and are nqw · being preserved for future generations by a dense protective layer of buffalo poop.' I personally had thought that buffaln were . pretty much extinct, but it turns out that the federal . government employs a large number of them in Yellowstone, where they roam around pooping while the deer and, of course; the . antelope play, and seldom is heard a discouraging . word, although you do hear a lot of people saying , "Watch where you step. " · But the buffalo really are impressive, and speaking ; as a taxpayer I consider : them a far better deal than, . for example, the . Department of Commerce. In conclusion , it was a . great trip, and I want to end : this account with an inspi- . rational quote from Lewis, or possibly 'Clark, who . said, at the end of their epic : journey: "If we write an ~ account of this epic jour- ; ney, we ~;an deduct tt on · our taxes." .,' CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A pair of spacewalking astronauts installed a new beam to the international space station Saturday as engineers back on Earth scrutinized images of a disturbing gouge in shuttle Endeavour's heat shield. The 3-inch gash in · the shuttle's belly will be inspected in greater detail Sunday, when the shuttle crew pulls out its 100-foot robotic arm and extension boom and probes the difficult-to-reach area with lasers. Until then, NASA has only camera and radar images to examine. Mission managers suspect a chunk of ice flew off Endeavour's external fuel tank one minute after liftoff on Wednesday and struck tiles on the shuttle's underside, near the right main landing gear door. Ice is heavier than the tank's foam insulation, and even a small piece could cause major damage to the shuttle's thermal covering, which protects against the intense heat of atmospheric re-entry at flight's end. The area where the gouge is located is exposed to as much as 2,300 degrees Fah~enheit durin~ re-en~ry. Sunday's laser tnspectton will ascertain exactly how deep the gouge is, then engineers will determine whether repairs are needed . Columbia was brought down four years ago by a I 112-pound chunk of foam that slammed into the left wing at liftoff and left a hole estimated between 6 inches and 10 inches across. Shuttle wings are especially vulnerable and subjected to even more heat durmg re-entry. Work in orbit went on as usual Saturday, a day after the gouge was discovered in zoom-in photos taken by the three-man crew of the space station as Endeavour closed in for docking . Teacherastronaut Barbara Morgan Christa McAuliffe's backup for Challenger's doomed flight in 1986 helped monitor the spacewalk from inside. On the first spacewalk o{ the shuttle mission, astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Dave Williams helped install a 2-ton squareshaped beam to the backbone of the stati,on . The beam, or truss, was delivered by Endeavour along with other station equipment that will be hooked up during at least two more spacewalks in corning days. Astronaut Charles Hobaugh lowered the beam into place , using the space. station's robot arm, as Mastracchio and Williams floated nearby, offering guidance . Once the beam was attached to the station, the spacewalkers began the meticulous job of bolting it down and hooking up grounding straps.

We went West for our summer vacation. Our idea was to follow in the footsteps of the hardy explorers Lewis and Clark, who traveled 8,000 miles through hostile,' uncharted wilderness, a feat that was possible only because of their great courage and the fact that ihey left their children at home. Otherwise, they would have quit after maybe 200 yards. On our tnp, we encoutl'tered numerous families that, after many hours together in the minivan, had reached Critical Hostility Mass. At one point, we saw a family stopped at a roadside area overlooKing a spectacular mountain vista, but nobody was looking at it. Two boys were slumped low in the back seat of the mini van with their baseball caps · jammed down over their eyes, listening to their indiVidual compact-disc players. A girl, maybe 12, was stomping tearfully away from the van, followed by Mom, her words echoing off the hillsides, waving some bread and shouting, "If you don't eat this sandwich, I'm not mal~ing you another one!" A few feet away, Dad was sitting on a rock, c hewing very slowly, staring at the ground.

He was flown back to El Salvador each time. "They tell me this is the best place to cross, but it isn't easy anywhere," Romeo said. Deportations also are up for illegal immigrants who have lived in the States for year's. Some are caught for minor infractions like a burned-out headlight. Others are rounded up in workplace raids that the Bush administration has vowed to intensify. The new measures announced Friday will force employers to fire anyone who cannot prove · their Social Security numbers are legitimate. U.S. employers are already complaininll, e~pe­ cially those in agnculture, where most workers are believed to be working with false documents. On a recent visit to Mexico, Washington Gov.

Astronauts take spacewalk to install station beam; NASA scrutinizes shuttle gouge foP AEROSPACE WRITER Lewis and Clark stepped here! ' Dave Barry Clark failed to notice it. They may have been hardy, but apparently ·they were not the sharpest quills on ihe porcupine, if you get my drift. One big advantage of the 1-90 route is that it takes you to some of the amazing wonders of the West, such as the Com Palace in downtown Mitchell , S.D. This is, I swear, one of the biggest tourist attractions in Souih Dakota (official state motto: "Gateway To North Dakota"). The Com Palace is a large, Moorishstyle building that has its exterior walls covered with an enormous mural made entirely from com. The theme of the mural is changed every year, although you could make the argument that the true theme is always: "We have way too much corn." But, of course, the bi ggest South Dakota tourist attraction is ML Rushmore. You' ve probably seen hundreCls of pictures of this famous monument, but until you are standing ri ght in front of it, in person, you cannot trul~ appreciate the fact that it s only 8 inches talL There's a big lens in front of it. No, seriously, Mt. Rushmore is large and impressive, and you cannot help but feel a sense of awe as you look up at the gran- ite-carved faces of those four great American leaders - George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Don Shula - gazing out from the purple mountain's majesty, across the fruited plain, looking as though they are surveying the mighty nation that they helped to create and thinking: "Since when is com a fruit?" Mt. Rushmore is located in ihe Black .Hills, which get iheir name from the fact that they are brown, gray and green. They were caused by erosion. Jq fact, just about all the major natural attractions you find in the West - the Grand Canyon, the Badlands, the Goodlands, the Mediocrelands, the Rocky Mountains and Robert Redford - were caused by erosion. Apparently, at some point, a hug!l wave of erosion swept over the West, leaving these attractions. We know this because about every 50 feet out there the National Park Service or some other agency has set up a sign that says something like POINT OF INTEREST, and when you stop to read it, it always says something like: "The buttes you see here were created by erosion 350 million years ago during the Curvaceous Period, when the West was covered by an ocean.'' The National Park Service apparently has some kind of substance-abuse problem, because it is absolutely convinced ihat the West used to be covered by an ocean, although if this were •true you would think that there would be some evidence of it today in the form of, for example, a pet- rifled boardwalk. Soine of the other natural wonders we saw on our trip . were: • At least 500 billion flu- ; orescent red-orange traffic cones, carefully rlaced on . every few feet o highway · across I ,000 miles and four states, alerting, us that road crews were working ahead. • One guy (in Wyoming, . I believe) who was actually working on the road. · • A sign outside of the cow-intensive community · of Dimock, S.D., that said, "Say it with cheese." But the highlight of the trip was Yellowstone , National Park, which contains many amazing natural · wonders that were caused by erosion and are nqw · being preserved for future generations by a dense protective layer of buffalo poop.' I personally had thought that buffaln were . pretty much extinct, but it turns out that the federal . government employs a large number of them in Yellowstone, where they roam around pooping while the deer and, of course; the . antelope play, and seldom is heard a discouraging . word, although you do hear a lot of people saying , "Watch where you step.

The 3-inch gash in · the shuttle's belly will be inspected in greater detail Sunday, when the shuttle crew pulls out its 100-foot robotic arm and extension boom and probes the difficult-to-reach area with lasers. Until then, NASA has only camera and radar images to examine. Mission managers suspect a chunk of ice flew off Endeavour's external fuel tank one minute after liftoff on Wednesday and struck tiles on the shuttle's underside, near the right main landing gear door. Ice is heavier than the tank's foam insulation, and even a small piece could cause major damage to the shuttle's thermal covering, which protects against the intense heat of atmospheric re-entry at flight's end. The area where the gouge is located is exposed to as much as 2,300 degrees Fah~enheit durin~ re-en~ry. Sunday's laser tnspectton will ascertain exactly how deep the gouge is, then engineers will determine whether repairs are needed . Columbia was brought down four years ago by a I 112-pound chunk of foam that slammed into the left wing at liftoff and left a hole estimated between 6 inches and 10 inches across. Shuttle wings are especially vulnerable and subjected to even more heat durmg re-entry. Work in orbit went on as usual Saturday, a day after the gouge was discovered in zoom-in photos taken by the three-man crew of the space station as Endeavour closed in for docking . Teacherastronaut Barbara Morgan Christa McAuliffe's backup for Challenger's doomed flight in 1986 helped monitor the spacewalk from inside. On the first spacewalk o{ the shuttle mission, astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Dave Williams helped install a 2-ton squareshaped beam to the backbone of the stati,on . The beam, or truss, was delivered by Endeavour along with other station equipment that will be hooked up during at least two more spacewalks in corning days. Astronaut Charles Hobaugh lowered the beam into place , using the space. station's robot arm, as Mastracchio and Williams floated nearby, offering guidance . Once the beam was attached to the station, the spacewalkers began the meticulous job of bolting it down and hooking up grounding straps.

We went West for our summer vacation. Our idea was to follow in the footsteps of the hardy explorers Lewis and Clark, who traveled 8,000 miles through hostile,' uncharted wilderness, a feat that was possible only because of their great courage and the fact that ihey left their children at home. Otherwise, they would have quit after maybe 200 yards. On our tnp, we encoutl'tered numerous families that, after many hours together in the minivan, had reached Critical Hostility Mass. At one point, we saw a family stopped at a roadside area overlooKing a spectacular mountain vista, but nobody was looking at it. Two boys were slumped low in the back seat of the mini van with their baseball caps · jammed down over their eyes, listening to their indiVidual compact-disc players. A girl, maybe 12, was stomping tearfully away from the van, followed by Mom, her words echoing off the hillsides, waving some bread and shouting, "If you don't eat this sandwich, I'm not mal~ing you another one!" A few feet away, Dad was sitting on a rock, c hewing very slowly, staring at the ground. Togetherness! · On our trip, we made a painstaking effort to follow exactly the route that'Lewis · and Clark used, the only exception being that ihey took the Missouri River, whereas we took Interstate 90, which is a lot more direct and has motels.

That 's why 22-year-old Romeo, a Salvadoran who refused to give his last name for fear of reprisals, was in Tecate's town square after failing twice to sneak into El Paso, Texas, once in a car. and once on foot. He was flown back to El Salvador each time. "They tell me this is the best place to cross, but it isn't easy anywhere," Romeo said. Deportations also are up for illegal immigrants who have lived in the States for year's. Some are caught for minor infractions like a burned-out headlight. Others are rounded up in workplace raids that the Bush administration has vowed to intensify. The new measures announced Friday will force employers to fire anyone who cannot prove · their Social Security numbers are legitimate. U.S. employers are already complaininll, e~pe­ cially those in agnculture, where most workers are believed to be working with false documents. On a recent visit to Mexico, Washington Gov.

Only Tiger can cool Tiger offcffier he shoots a '62 112' in second round q{Championship 8Y JIM ln:KE N' SPORTS COUJMNIST ' ! ' 11ULSA, Olda. - · The man never runs out of surprises. " Most of the people who don 't have to play against ·Tiger Woods tuned in to the PGA Championship wondering whether be mi~ht end 'his season with a maJor. Woods showed up at Southern Hills wondering about the same thing he does once he sets foot inside the gallery ropes: Hpw much better can he get? Woods finished Friday closer to perfect than he ever had in one of golf's big four events. His driver spent much of the round in the bag. His short-iron play was as sizzling as the weather. And if his next-to-last putt at the 18th hadn't rebounded against the back of the cup and spun out, Woods would have been closer to perfect than anyone else ever had been in a major. "It would have been a nice little record to have," Woods said after an eight-birdie, one-bogey. record-tying 63 rocketed him to the top of the leaderboard and a twoshot cushion at the midway point of the tournament. Tiger playfully called it a "62 1/2," and 1f you think that unauthorized horseshoe dance his ball performed at the final hole wasn't bugging him, you don ' t know the man at all. Woods already' )lad his putter raised in his left hand toward the sky, like an exclamation point, then dropped it like a bad idea. His rivals felt just as empty, but for a different rea.son. John Daly spo,ke for a lot of them when he walked off the course moments after Woods tapped in. "How," Daly asked without expecting an answer, "do you cool Tiger off?" You don't. Woods knows it, and so does everybody else on the leaderboard looking up at him. Only Tiger cools Tiger off. "He does pretty well when he leads off of two rounds," said Australian Geoff Ogilvy, who was three strokes back, "and even better when he leads out for three rounds." True - if 7-0 as the second-round leader and 12-0 as third-round leader qualifies. "So, I ~uess this is kind of ominous, 'Ogilvy continued. "But at some point he's not AP photo Tiger Woods chips out of a bunker onto the 13th green during the second round of the 89th PGA Golf Championship at the Southern Hills Courltry Club in Tulsa, Okla. Friday. going to win." Maybe. But somebody should have reminded Ogilvy that pulling Tiger's tail is the worst. way to go about it. Stephen Ames, who was tied with Ogilvy at 137, tried it last year when he drew Woods in the opening round of the Match Play championship and got smoked by a record 9 and 8. Rory Sabbatini did the same thing in Mar,. calling Woods ''beatable ' after getting drummed at the Wachovia Championship only to get thumped even harder last weekend at Firestone, where Woods essentially lapped the field Sunday. When semeone pointed out the connection between him and Sabbatini, Ames started backing away. "Mine was taken out of context completely. And I won't get into that," Ames said, though he knows better. Though Woods would never admit . as much, he keep close track of those tugs on his cape. He gets a kick out of pumshing people, but he's always in pursuit of bigger game. He got off to a fast sta,rt both days, birdieing three of the first six holes but got waylaid at the start of the back nine Thursday and stumbled hoine in l-over 71 . On Friday, he made a 30foot, par-saving putt at the 12th, then started going after Southern Hills. • Woods birdied ·the next three, and tbe chase was on. Pars at the final three kept him from writing a new page in golf's record hooks, but the round still qualified as must-see TV. When it was done, someone asked Woods whether he'd ever been as captivated winching anyone else as the rest of us were watching him. "There was a lot of different ones. Just what sport? It's pretty muc~ anything and everything," Woods said. "We· ve all seen it. Whether it was from · Gretzky or Jordan. Whomever it may be. "I always think it's fun to watch if they· re performing that way at the championship game when the title s on the line. Some guys just seem to take it to tfre next level." Woods appears headed there yet one more time. this time at the end of a season of maJor championships i'n which he's never looked more vulnerable. At the Masters and U.S. Open, Zach Johnson and Angel Cabrera both outdueled Woods down the stretch. At the British Open, he never seriously threatened. Woods waved off any attempts to characterize this singular outing as special or a statement round. "I was just trying to get myself back in this tournament. And lo and behold, here I am. Sixty-two," Woods said, grinning slyly, "would have meant I had a three-shot lead instead of two." Jim . Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press. Write to him atJ/irkeap.org Pictured above ·are the third place winners at the Holzer Medical Center Annual Golf Tournament: From left.are Darren Wamsley, Jack Detty, Bob Daniel and Carroll Snowden. . Woods fromPageBl 137 with Stephen Ames (69). . . John Daly put on a different show, whipping out .driver and lumbering through the rough and the trees to find it. He hit enough good shots to salvage a 73 that left him six shots behind and ~sking an important question. "How do you cool Tiger off?" Daly said. It was the 23rd round of 63 in the majors, but only four others have ~one on to win -Johnny M1ller in the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont, Jack Nicklaus in the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol, Greg Norman in the 1986 British Open at Turnberry, and Raymond Aoyd in the 1982 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Woods will be in the fmal group Saturday with Verplank, whose bogey-free round frred up a gallery who have been obeering him since he won the U.S. Amateur title and a PGA Tour event while · at Oklahoma State. · It looked 1ike it would be enough to give the 43-year-old his first lead in a major championship. Then Woods teed off, hit 8-iron to 6 feet . for birdie, and began a swift and stunning charge up the leaderboard. Coming off his lone bogey at No. 7 when he caught an awkward stance in the bunker, Woods stuffed his approach into 2 feet on the mnth and 3 feet on the I Oth to get within one shot of the lead. And while his putt for 62 rimmed out, his biggest putt of the second round might have been for par. Woods found another bunker at No. 12 and blasted out some 30 feet by the pin. He started walking to the side when his par putt broke toward the cup and pumped his fist when tt curled in the right side. · "Tne putt on 12 was huge . to keep the round going," Woods said. Then came a charge into the lead and into the record hooks. He got up-and-down · from a bunker at the par-5 13th for birdie, chipped in from 15 feet from just behind the green at No. 14 and holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the 15th. · Needing one more birdie over the final three holes, Woods gave himself three good chances, especially on 18. And he knew what was riding on the last putt. . "It would have been a nice little record to have," Woods said. "A 62 1/2 is all right."

Daly joined Els in the large group at 140. Ogilvy was among those who refused to concede the PGA Championship only halfway through. "He does pretty good when he leads for two rounds and even better when he leads for three rounds," O)!ilvy said. "So I guess that 1s kind of ominous.

"He doesn't do that," Mackanin said about Weathers' control problems. "It's just one of those things. It's totally unexpected. That's just the way it gQes.

A-Rod hits No. 501 as Yankees cruise to 6-1 win over Indians · BY ToM WITHERS ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND Thrown into the middle of .a heated playoff chase, the 21-year-olds pitched like ·they belonged. The New York Yankees might not he aging so fast after all. Phil Hughes dominated Cleveland for six innings and reliever Joba Chamberlain overwhelmed hitters with a searing fastball as the Yankees began a challenging stretch with a 6-1 win over the Indians on Friday night. In just his fourth major league start, Hughes (2-1) allowed one run and four hits. It was the right-hander's second start since spending three months on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. He was followed by Chamberlain, a rocketthrowing righty who began the season at Class A but has sped through New York's minor league system and is now being counted on by the Yankees for the stretch run. Chamberlain struck out .four in two perfect innings, giving him six Ks in four scoreless innings since being called up Tuesday. "It doesn ' t seem like they are fazed by too much," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said, "and rightfully · so, they've got great stuff. Job a throws a I 00 mph off. speed pitch. That can't be too much fun. " Alex Rodriguez hit career home run No. 501 in the second inning off Fausto Carmona ( 13-7) , setting the tone for the Yankees, who have been beating up on some of the . AL's weaker teams lately. Before coming to Central-leading Cleveland, . New York had played 28 straight games against teams that had losing records at the All-Star break. The Yankees improved to 21 -8 si nee July 12, and moved one percentage point behind Seattle for the wild-card lead. Jeter had three hits and Bobby Abreu drove in a pair of run$ for New York. The Yankees were managed by bench coach Don Mattingly, who filled in while Joe Torre served a one-game suspension. Hughes and Chamberlain have made a quick impression on their teammates, who have marveled at the pair's confidence. "It's exciting to see two young guys come up and strikes," Andy throw Pettitte said. "You like their stuff, but you like their make up, too. We' re going to need them now more than ever." Josh Barfield homered for the Indians, whose players all wore uniform No. 14, a tribute to late Hall of Farner Larry Doby, the first black player in the AL. However, .the special occasion was soured by another win - by the Yankees, 4-0 against Cleveland this season. Still, the Indians maintained their I 112-game lead in the division over second-place Detroit, which lost 16- 10 to Oakland. Cleveland has scored two runs or less in I 0 of its past 18 games. "I felt like ,we were showing signs of 'coming out of it, but today was probably a step back, " manager Eric Wedge said. "We've got ·multiple guys just off their game offensively right now. Not to take anything away from Hughes, but I still believe it is about us. We have to do a better job." Carmona dressed in the shower area, angrily slammed his towel into a bin on the way to his locker, gathered his belongings and left without talking to reporters. "I thought he threw the ball well," Wedge said. "They pushed over a couple runs and they're. a great hitting team. But he got some bi.g double plays and I was pleased with the way he handled hims.elf, especially without us doing much offensively." Rodriguez was back in the Yankees' lineup after sitting out one game with a bruised right calf, a souvenir from a fastba ll by Toronto's Josh Towers dur- , ing an intense series with the Blue Jays. Rodriguez crushed Carmona's second pitch of the second, hitting a towering shot over the wall. After . two singles and a sacrifice, catcher Jose Molina, filling in for Jorge Posada (sore neck), hit an · RBI groundout. The Yankees went up 3-0 in the third. Johnny Damon blooped a single off shortstop Jhonny Peralta's glove and Jeter fo llowed with a hard grounder that Peralta barely slowed with a dive. Abreu's fielder's choice grounder scored Damon. Jeter's RBI single in the fifth gave Hughes a 4-0 lead, and the right-hander carried a two-hitter into the bottom half before Barfield connected for his third homer - and first since May 25. Notes: When Rodriguez homers, it usually means the Yankees win as 17 of his last 18 homers have come in New York victories .... Indians DH Travis Hafner sat out because of an injured right knee he hurt sliding into second base in Chicago on Tuesday. He will likely mi ss · the series. Caval~ers superstar LeBron James, a • renowned Yankees fan , attended the gam~ and sat in the stands directly behind home plate . Perched high above him was Torre, who was banished from the dugout and clubhouse and watched from a radio broadcast booth. ' 2001 CIIIQIC..

Only Tiger can cool Tiger offcffier he shoots a '62 112' in second round q{Championship 8Y JIM ln:KE N' SPORTS COUJMNIST ' ! ' 11ULSA, Olda. - · The man never runs out of surprises. " Most of the people who don 't have to play against ·Tiger Woods tuned in to the PGA Championship wondering whether be mi~ht end 'his season with a maJor. Woods showed up at Southern Hills wondering about the same thing he does once he sets foot inside the gallery ropes: Hpw much better can he get? Woods finished Friday closer to perfect than he ever had in one of golf's big four events. His driver spent much of the round in the bag. His short-iron play was as sizzling as the weather. And if his next-to-last putt at the 18th hadn't rebounded against the back of the cup and spun out, Woods would have been closer to perfect than anyone else ever had been in a major. "It would have been a nice little record to have," Woods said after an eight-birdie, one-bogey. record-tying 63 rocketed him to the top of the leaderboard and a twoshot cushion at the midway point of the tournament. Tiger playfully called it a "62 1/2," and 1f you think that unauthorized horseshoe dance his ball performed at the final hole wasn't bugging him, you don ' t know the man at all. Woods already' )lad his putter raised in his left hand toward the sky, like an exclamation point, then dropped it like a bad idea. His rivals felt just as empty, but for a different rea.son. John Daly spo,ke for a lot of them when he walked off the course moments after Woods tapped in. "How," Daly asked without expecting an answer, "do you cool Tiger off?" You don't. Woods knows it, and so does everybody else on the leaderboard looking up at him. Only Tiger cools Tiger off. "He does pretty well when he leads off of two rounds," said Australian Geoff Ogilvy, who was three strokes back, "and even better when he leads out for three rounds." True - if 7-0 as the second-round leader and 12-0 as third-round leader qualifies. "So, I ~uess this is kind of ominous, 'Ogilvy continued. "But at some point he's not AP photo Tiger Woods chips out of a bunker onto the 13th green during the second round of the 89th PGA Golf Championship at the Southern Hills Courltry Club in Tulsa, Okla. Friday. going to win." Maybe. But somebody should have reminded Ogilvy that pulling Tiger's tail is the worst. way to go about it. Stephen Ames, who was tied with Ogilvy at 137, tried it last year when he drew Woods in the opening round of the Match Play championship and got smoked by a record 9 and 8. Rory Sabbatini did the same thing in Mar,. calling Woods ''beatable ' after getting drummed at the Wachovia Championship only to get thumped even harder last weekend at Firestone, where Woods essentially lapped the field Sunday. When semeone pointed out the connection between him and Sabbatini, Ames started backing away. "Mine was taken out of context completely. And I won't get into that," Ames said, though he knows better. Though Woods would never admit . as much, he keep close track of those tugs on his cape. He gets a kick out of pumshing people, but he's always in pursuit of bigger game. He got off to a fast sta,rt both days, birdieing three of the first six holes but got waylaid at the start of the back nine Thursday and stumbled hoine in l-over 71 . On Friday, he made a 30foot, par-saving putt at the 12th, then started going after Southern Hills. • Woods birdied ·the next three, and tbe chase was on. Pars at the final three kept him from writing a new page in golf's record hooks, but the round still qualified as must-see TV. When it was done, someone asked Woods whether he'd ever been as captivated winching anyone else as the rest of us were watching him. "There was a lot of different ones. Just what sport? It's pretty muc~ anything and everything," Woods said. "We· ve all seen it. Whether it was from · Gretzky or Jordan. Whomever it may be. "I always think it's fun to watch if they· re performing that way at the championship game when the title s on the line. Some guys just seem to take it to tfre next level." Woods appears headed there yet one more time. this time at the end of a season of maJor championships i'n which he's never looked more vulnerable. At the Masters and U.S. Open, Zach Johnson and Angel Cabrera both outdueled Woods down the stretch. At the British Open, he never seriously threatened. Woods waved off any attempts to characterize this singular outing as special or a statement round. "I was just trying to get myself back in this tournament. And lo and behold, here I am. Sixty-two," Woods said, grinning slyly, "would have meant I had a three-shot lead instead of two." Jim . Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press. Write to him atJ/irkeap.org Pictured above ·are the third place winners at the Holzer Medical Center Annual Golf Tournament: From left.are Darren Wamsley, Jack Detty, Bob Daniel and Carroll Snowden. . Woods fromPageBl 137 with Stephen Ames (69). . . John Daly put on a different show, whipping out .driver and lumbering through the rough and the trees to find it. He hit enough good shots to salvage a 73 that left him six shots behind and ~sking an important question. "How do you cool Tiger off?" Daly said. It was the 23rd round of 63 in the majors, but only four others have ~one on to win -Johnny M1ller in the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont, Jack Nicklaus in the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol, Greg Norman in the 1986 British Open at Turnberry, and Raymond Aoyd in the 1982 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Woods will be in the fmal group Saturday with Verplank, whose bogey-free round frred up a gallery who have been obeering him since he won the U.S. Amateur title and a PGA Tour event while · at Oklahoma State. · It looked 1ike it would be enough to give the 43-year-old his first lead in a major championship. Then Woods teed off, hit 8-iron to 6 feet . for birdie, and began a swift and stunning charge up the leaderboard. Coming off his lone bogey at No. 7 when he caught an awkward stance in the bunker, Woods stuffed his approach into 2 feet on the mnth and 3 feet on the I Oth to get within one shot of the lead. And while his putt for 62 rimmed out, his biggest putt of the second round might have been for par. Woods found another bunker at No. 12 and blasted out some 30 feet by the pin. He started walking to the side when his par putt broke toward the cup and pumped his fist when tt curled in the right side. · "Tne putt on 12 was huge . to keep the round going," Woods said. Then came a charge into the lead and into the record hooks. He got up-and-down · from a bunker at the par-5 13th for birdie, chipped in from 15 feet from just behind the green at No. 14 and holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the 15th. · Needing one more birdie over the final three holes, Woods gave himself three good chances, especially on 18. And he knew what was riding on the last putt. . "It would have been a nice little record to have," Woods said. "A 62 1/2 is all right." The immediate ·emotion didn't belong to someone who had shot 63 for a twoshot lead in a major: putting htm m )!OOd postttOn to· avoid gettmg shut out in the Grand Slam events for only the fourth time in his career. "Mad," Woods said. "I hit a good putt and thought I made it. It V@Uid've been nice to have gotten a record and a three-shot lead going into the weekend. The good thing is, I hit a good putt. That's the important pomt." Thomas BJorn was - the last player to shoot 63 in a major, m the third round at the 2005 PGA Championship at Baltusrol. Woods might not have predicted a record-tyin!l round , but even after opemng with a 71, he said he hit the ball far better than he scored. This 1ime, he made a few Monday Mixed Mon.

"I ·was just trying to get myself back in this tournament," Woods said. "And lo and behold, here I am." The company is getting smaller. Only eight players remained under par, with Woods and Ogilvy the only ones in that group who have won a major: · Woody Austin (70) was at 138, while John Senden (70), Niclas Fasth (68) and Pat Perez (69) were another shot back. Daly joined Els in the large group at 140. Ogilvy was among those who refused to concede the PGA Championship only halfway through. "He does pretty good when he leads for two rounds and even better when he leads for three rounds," O)!ilvy said. "So I guess that 1s kind of ominous. But at some p,oint, he's not going to win.' .for some, . victory was simply getting a chance to play two more rounds. Chad Campbell ran off four straight birdies on his back nine for a 68, while Steve Stricker birdied his last hole for a 68, and both made the cut on the number at 5-over 145. Colin Montgomerie also made the cut at 145, the first time h~ will play the weekend in a major smce he took double •. bogey on the final hole at Winged Foot and finished second in the U.S. Open last year.

Khalil Greene homered and drove in three runs, including the go-ahead run in the II th, and San Diego overcame a rare Hoffman failure with a 12-7 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. . David Weathers (2-4), Cincinnati's sixth relief pitcher, walked the bases loaded with one out to set up Greene's sacrifice fly to left field, which snapped a 7-7 tie. Josh Bard followed with a two-run triple down the right field hne, and Kevin Kouzmanoff greeted reliever Victor Santos with a first-pitch two-run homer to left. Weathers left the clubhouse before the media was allowed in, but Reds manag, er Pete Mackanin said the closer- who had converted 22 of 27 save opportunities - can't be expected to deliver every night. "He doesn't do that," Mackanin said about Weathers' control problems. "It's just one of those things. It's totally unexpected. That's just the way it gQes.

A-Rod hits No. 501 as Yankees cruise to 6-1 win over Indians · BY ToM WITHERS ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND Thrown into the middle of .a heated playoff chase, the 21-year-olds pitched like ·they belonged. The New York Yankees might not he aging so fast after all. Phil Hughes dominated Cleveland for six innings and reliever Joba Chamberlain overwhelmed hitters with a searing fastball as the Yankees began a challenging stretch with a 6-1 win over the Indians on Friday night. In just his fourth major league start, Hughes (2-1) allowed one run and four hits. It was the right-hander's second start since spending three months on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. He was followed by Chamberlain, a rocketthrowing righty who began the season at Class A but has sped through New York's minor league system and is now being counted on by the Yankees for the stretch run. Chamberlain struck out .four in two perfect innings, giving him six Ks in four scoreless innings since being called up Tuesday. "It doesn ' t seem like they are fazed by too much," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said, "and rightfully · so, they've got great stuff. Job a throws a I 00 mph off. speed pitch. That can't be too much fun. " Alex Rodriguez hit career home run No. 501 in the second inning off Fausto Carmona ( 13-7) , setting the tone for the Yankees, who have been beating up on some of the . AL's weaker teams lately. Before coming to Central-leading Cleveland, . New York had played 28 straight games against teams that had losing records at the All-Star break. The Yankees improved to 21 -8 si nee July 12, and moved one percentage point behind Seattle for the wild-card lead. Jeter had three hits and Bobby Abreu drove in a pair of run$ for New York. The Yankees were managed by bench coach Don Mattingly, who filled in while Joe Torre served a one-game suspension. Hughes and Chamberlain have made a quick impression on their teammates, who have marveled at the pair's confidence. "It's exciting to see two young guys come up and strikes," Andy throw Pettitte said. "You like their stuff, but you like their make up, too. We' re going to need them now more than ever." Josh Barfield homered for the Indians, whose players all wore uniform No. 14, a tribute to late Hall of Farner Larry Doby, the first black player in the AL. However, .the special occasion was soured by another win - by the Yankees, 4-0 against Cleveland this season. Still, the Indians maintained their I 112-game lead in the division over second-place Detroit, which lost 16- 10 to Oakland. Cleveland has scored two runs or less in I 0 of its past 18 games. "I felt like ,we were showing signs of 'coming out of it, but today was probably a step back, " manager Eric Wedge said. "We've got ·multiple guys just off their game offensively right now. Not to take anything away from Hughes, but I still believe it is about us. We have to do a better job." Carmona dressed in the shower area, angrily slammed his towel into a bin on the way to his locker, gathered his belongings and left without talking to reporters. "I thought he threw the ball well," Wedge said. "They pushed over a couple runs and they're. a great hitting team. But he got some bi.g double plays and I was pleased with the way he handled hims.elf, especially without us doing much offensively." Rodriguez was back in the Yankees' lineup after sitting out one game with a bruised right calf, a souvenir from a fastba ll by Toronto's Josh Towers dur- , ing an intense series with the Blue Jays. Rodriguez crushed Carmona's second pitch of the second, hitting a towering shot over the wall. After . two singles and a sacrifice, catcher Jose Molina, filling in for Jorge Posada (sore neck), hit an · RBI groundout. The Yankees went up 3-0 in the third. Johnny Damon blooped a single off shortstop Jhonny Peralta's glove and Jeter fo llowed with a hard grounder that Peralta barely slowed with a dive. Abreu's fielder's choice grounder scored Damon. Jeter's RBI single in the fifth gave Hughes a 4-0 lead, and the right-hander carried a two-hitter into the bottom half before Barfield connected for his third homer - and first since May 25. Notes: When Rodriguez homers, it usually means the Yankees win as 17 of his last 18 homers have come in New York victories ....

Then come the stories. "We were known , for be11ting everyone Cor miles around in all the tournaments," said Bowles with a grin. "There were very few fast pitch teams around that could beat the Lakin Red Birds." "Anyone w~o said they had a good team, Pappy (Hughes) was ready to go and we played them," Patterson chimed in. "And we rarely lost." ."We knew how to kill that ball," added Starling. ·, For these three men, now in their 70s and 80s, and the rest of their teammates, those summer afternoons spent on the ballfields of .

The cornerback's latest legal problem emerged just hours after he resolved one of his least serious issues when a judge dismissed three traffic citations. Jones was pulled over the morning of June 10 in his orange Lamborghini sports car because the tags did not match the vehicle. Sheriff's deputies said he had switched the plate from another vehicle he owns. He was cited with a registration violation, as well as a residency violation for having a Georgia license and failure to show proof of insurance. Jones' attorney said earlier on Friday that the charges .were dtsmissed because authorities had incorrect information about the registration and lic:ense. Robinson was also asked what he thought about Jones wrestling, and he said he didn't believe the cornerback would do anything to jeopardize his career. "Football is his priority," Robinson said. "He wants to get back on the field. Whatever he does with TNA is not going ·to affect his health." Jones still faces felony coercion charges in connection with a Feb. 19 fight and triJ?le-shooting at a Las Vegas stilp club. Jones also faces a felony charge of obstruction stemming from a physical altercation in February 2006 with an officer oo patrol in. Fayetteville, Ga., but no trial date has been set. A misdemean9r charge stemming from an August 2006 nightclub altercation also could be revived against Jones depending on the outcome of the Vegas case. OHIO 0HECI 216 Upper River Rd.

HARRISONVLLE For music fans and those who love art, the place to be on Aug. 25 is the Sheets family l farm on Cotterill Road near Harrisonville where blues bands will entertain .and artisans will demonstrate their skills. This is the second year for the Foothills Blues and :Arts Festival offering a full day of free family entertainment. When the musical Sheets-Lohse family decided last year to host a blues festival in the rural setting of the Sheets' Scipio Township farm, it came as no surprise to anyone. After all they are the Mudfork Blues Band whose Jove is for blues music as well as ·creative arts which go hand in hand with their rural lifestyle. The success of that first festival inspired the musicians to make the event an annual one and to expand it to inc! ude more blues bands and enhance it with the work of Appalachian artisans. Jared Sheets, president of the Foothills Music Foundation, sponsors of the festival, credited donations from local businesses and individuals for making it possible to remain a free cultural event in Meigs County. . "Music and art bring people together and that is what this festival is all about," said Sheets who described the mix of bands as including national and.international touring groups as well as local favorites, along with about 20 local and regional artisans. . ·o- -;;: ' · A new feature for this year's festival is the participation of Nelsonville 's Foothills Art School.

POMEROY - A walking path laps the hallway, circles the gym and climbs up the stairs of the Meigs County Cooperative Parish building on Mulberry Street in Pomeroy. And it's perfect for someone who wants the conveniences of home along the way. · Two women, pushing a shopping cart for balance, built up from one lap to six. Another woman, who at first could not walk the path without the cart, eventually reached seven laps without the cart. One man, now deceased, liked the indoor path because he could sit in any of the .many padded chairs along the hallway. Other people enjoyed the access to restrooms . The hallway is divided down the middle by stanchions - walkers go down one side and come back the other and by combining routes in the hallway, in the gym, and up the stairs can chalk up a mile easily. The t~Yo- part staircase, 18 steps in all, offers a strenuous Workout. Lenora Leifheit , parish nurse for· the Meigs County Cooperative parish, got what she described as a "wild brai n.storm" which led her to the idea for the path. She figured "We've· goi the hallway; why can't we get a walking path?"

The cornerback's latest legal problem emerged just hours after he resolved one of his least serious issues when a judge dismissed three traffic citations. Jones was pulled over the morning of June 10 in his orange Lamborghini sports car because the tags did not match the vehicle. Sheriff's deputies said he had switched the plate from another vehicle he owns. He was cited with a registration violation, as well as a residency violation for having a Georgia license and failure to show proof of insurance. Jones' attorney said earlier on Friday that the charges .were dtsmissed because authorities had incorrect information about the registration and lic:ense. Robinson was also asked what he thought about Jones wrestling, and he said he didn't believe the cornerback would do anything to jeopardize his career. "Football is his priority," Robinson said. "He wants to get back on the field. Whatever he does with TNA is not going ·to affect his health." Jones still faces felony coercion charges in connection with a Feb. 19 fight and triJ?le-shooting at a Las Vegas stilp club. Jones also faces a felony charge of obstruction stemming from a physical altercation in February 2006 with an officer oo patrol in. Fayetteville, Ga., but no trial date has been set. A misdemean9r charge stemming from an August 2006 nightclub altercation also could be revived against Jones depending on the outcome of the Vegas case. OHIO 0HECI 216 Upper River Rd. Gallipolis, Ohio 'I• Mile south of the SilVer Bridge Sunday, August 12, 200"/ Foothills Blues and Arts Festival set for Aug. 25 BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEA.ICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM . HARRISONVLLE For music fans and those who love art, the place to be on Aug. 25 is the Sheets family l farm on Cotterill Road near Harrisonville where blues bands will entertain .and artisans will demonstrate their skills. This is the second year for the Foothills Blues and :Arts Festival offering a full day of free family entertainment. When the musical Sheets-Lohse family decided last year to host a blues festival in the rural setting of the Sheets' Scipio Township farm, it came as no surprise to anyone. After all they are the Mudfork Blues Band whose Jove is for blues music as well as ·creative arts which go hand in hand with their rural lifestyle. The success of that first festival inspired the musicians to make the event an annual one and to expand it to inc! ude more blues bands and enhance it with the work of Appalachian artisans. Jared Sheets, president of the Foothills Music Foundation, sponsors of the festival, credited donations from local businesses and individuals for making it possible to remain a free cultural event in Meigs County. . "Music and art bring people together and that is what this festival is all about," said Sheets who described the mix of bands as including national and.international touring groups as well as local favorites, along with about 20 local and regional artisans. . ·o- -;;: ' · A new feature for this year's festival is the participation of Nelsonville 's Foothills Art School.

POMEROY - A walking path laps the hallway, circles the gym and climbs up the stairs of the Meigs County Cooperative Parish building on Mulberry Street in Pomeroy. And it's perfect for someone who wants the conveniences of home along the way. · Two women, pushing a shopping cart for balance, built up from one lap to six. Another woman, who at first could not walk the path without the cart, eventually reached seven laps without the cart. One man, now deceased, liked the indoor path because he could sit in any of the .many padded chairs along the hallway. Other people enjoyed the access to restrooms . The hallway is divided down the middle by stanchions - walkers go down one side and come back the other and by combining routes in the hallway, in the gym, and up the stairs can chalk up a mile easily. The t~Yo- part staircase, 18 steps in all, offers a strenuous Workout. Lenora Leifheit , parish nurse for· the Meigs County Cooperative parish, got what she described as a "wild brai n.storm" which led her to the idea for the path. She figured "We've· goi the hallway; why can't we get a walking path?" Back then, the only walking path s in the area . were Pomeroy 's riverside path and an indoor path at the Middleport Church of Christ 's Life Center.

The colon and the rectum are parts of the digestive · system, which is also called the gastrointestinal, or GI, system. Colorectal cancer starts in the innem1ost layer and can grow through some or all of the other layers. A polyp develops on the lining <Cf the colon or rectum. Certain kinds of polyps, called adenomatous polyps or adenomas, are types that have the potential to become cancerous. A polyp 1s a growth that protrudes from a mucous membrane. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and in women in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 148,610 new ca.Ses of colorectal cancer (72,800 and 75,810) will be diagnosed in 2007. Ohio counties with the highest incidence rates were located in Appalachia Ohio, which is in the southern and southeastern poruons of the state. This may be due to differences in diet and tobacco use between Appalachia and nonAppalachia Ohio. Appalachian residents consumed fewer than five fruits and vegetables per day. Studies suggest that diets high in fat (especially anin1al fat) and low in calcium, folate, and fiber may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Risk factors for colorectal cancer include: age (increases markedly after age 50), a personal histoty of chronic colorectal polyps, chronic inflanJmatory bowel, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Cancer risks begin to be significant eigh! years after onset of Crohn 's disease or I2-15 after colitis. Other risk factors are a family history of colorectal cancer, ethnic background and race. Jews of Eastern European descent have a higher rate of colorectal cancer and African-Americans have the highest incidence and mortality rate. Diet, which has already been discussed, physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, alcohol. intake and diabetes increase the risk for colorectal cancer. Also, night-shift workers may be at increased risk due to changes in melatonin levels in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that responds to changes in light. · Screening is the most po\Yel'ful weapon in preventing colorectal cancer. The Women's Health Clinic of the Gallia County Health Department offers a kit for screening for occult blood. Clients usinjl the fecal occult blood test should not use non-stermdal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for seven days, vitamin C in excess of 250 mg for three days, eat red meats for three days or eat broccoli, cauliflower, parsnips, radishes, and melons as these foods can make the test show positive. A colonoscopy is a procedure where a scope is inserted into the rectum to look at the lining of the colon. A biopsy can be done during the prQpedure. A colonoscopy is recommended every I 0 years after age 50. Signs to look for are a chanlle in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation or narrowmg of the stool that lasts for more than a few days, a feeling that you need to have a bowel movement, bleeding, cramping, pain, weakness and fatigue. New research shows vitamin D had an effect on reducing colorectal cancer, along with folic acid and magnesium. People who regularly use aspirin and other non-steroidal drugs such as Motrin, Advil and Aleve have a 20 to 50 percent lower risk of colon cancer and polyps. NSAIDS can cause bleedin~ from stomach irritation. · Early detection is the key factor. If everyone were tested, ten of thousands of lives could be saved each year.

How that quote came to be a part of America11 life is anybody's guess, but we do know that packaged sliced bread was first sold in the United States in 1928. In fact, Chillicothe, Mo., is making the claim that it is · the home of sliced bread. It was in 1928 when the Chillicothe Baking Co. bought the Rohwedder slicer and began packaging Kleen Maid sliced bread. Battle Creek, Mich., disputes Chillicothe's claims and says that sliced bread was first sold in Michigan. St. Louis baker Gustav Papendick improved on Rohwedder 's invention so that the slices would stay together long enough to be put in a wrapper by a machine. Before that, workers had to restack the bread by hand. The Holsum Bread Co. in I928 and Wonder Bread in 1930 further refined the process. Some of the Wonder Bread ads from the 1930s make use of this phrase, "the greatest thing since sliced bread," but whether they introduced the phrase to the American lexicon is unclear. But Gallipolis was not too far behind in "sliced bread," for in 1930 J.W. Mootz built a modern bread baking factory on Vine Street, that is still standing, though bread has not been made there for half a century. When the Mootz Bakery was first opened in the fall of 1930, the company placed several full page ads m the Gallipolis Daily Tribune. One ad stated: "With the opening today of the new Mootz Bakery, Gallipolis discovers a new magic wonderland - a plant that will amaze and astound you with its modern invention. Here you will find a startling new picture of brell!l making - here you will see the most modern inventions of scientists brought together to bake for you the finest bread you've ever tasted.

Thank'You To prevent cheating, state fair to track animals with eye scans COLUMBUS (AP.) The Ohio State Fair plans to begin identifying livestock using the same eyescan technology police agencies have adopted . to keep track of children, foreign banks have introduced to improve ATM security and jails have used in place of fingerprinting. · To make sure there's no cheating in livestock competitions, the fair has purchased an optical scan system that will register identifying characteristics in the eyes of farQ~ animals. Starting next year, the iris scans will track animals to ensure contestants have entered the same sheep and steers they'd been raismg in youth farm programs. "We definitely have to make sure that kids · stick with their projects," said Virgil Strickler, the fair's general manager. Since the 1980s, when thete were problems with youngsters entering steers bought just weeks before the competition, the fair has used a less high-tech approach to keep things clean. Inspectors now identify the animals by taking prints of their noses, in a method similar to fingerprinting. The fair will shift to the optical scan machine next year for tracking sheep but with steers, it will likely use both the ink-and-paper method and scanoing before fully embracing the new system in 2009, officials said.

Lewis now have the opportunity to study the lives and selected works of these acclaimed authms in a new course being offered by the Rio University of Grande/Rio Grande Community College. The course is being offered on-line, and is open to all area residents, whether they are already Rio Grande students or not. Dr. Kent Williams, associ" ate professor of English, will offer the course beginning this fall. "Anyone interested in the . course can enroll," Williams ·said. The class is being offered at two levels so that interested students have an option to take the class at the lower community college rates and without any prerequisites. The English faculty at Rio Grande have worked diligently to create a new · Eng1ish major that appeals to students with interests in a variety of disciplines and future careers, while still meeting the traditional needs of students interested in literature and language. A course focusing on Tolkien and Lewis fits in with the new classes the program is offering, and is already receiving a lot of interest.

The colon and the rectum are parts of the digestive · system, which is also called the gastrointestinal, or GI, system. Colorectal cancer starts in the innem1ost layer and can grow through some or all of the other layers. A polyp develops on the lining <Cf the colon or rectum. Certain kinds of polyps, called adenomatous polyps or adenomas, are types that have the potential to become cancerous. A polyp 1s a growth that protrudes from a mucous membrane. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and in women in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 148,610 new ca.Ses of colorectal cancer (72,800 and 75,810) will be diagnosed in 2007. Ohio counties with the highest incidence rates were located in Appalachia Ohio, which is in the southern and southeastern poruons of the state. This may be due to differences in diet and tobacco use between Appalachia and nonAppalachia Ohio. Appalachian residents consumed fewer than five fruits and vegetables per day. Studies suggest that diets high in fat (especially anin1al fat) and low in calcium, folate, and fiber may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Risk factors for colorectal cancer include: age (increases markedly after age 50), a personal histoty of chronic colorectal polyps, chronic inflanJmatory bowel, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Cancer risks begin to be significant eigh! years after onset of Crohn 's disease or I2-15 after colitis. Other risk factors are a family history of colorectal cancer, ethnic background and race. Jews of Eastern European descent have a higher rate of colorectal cancer and African-Americans have the highest incidence and mortality rate. Diet, which has already been discussed, physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, alcohol. intake and diabetes increase the risk for colorectal cancer. Also, night-shift workers may be at increased risk due to changes in melatonin levels in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that responds to changes in light. · Screening is the most po\Yel'ful weapon in preventing colorectal cancer. The Women's Health Clinic of the Gallia County Health Department offers a kit for screening for occult blood. Clients usinjl the fecal occult blood test should not use non-stermdal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for seven days, vitamin C in excess of 250 mg for three days, eat red meats for three days or eat broccoli, cauliflower, parsnips, radishes, and melons as these foods can make the test show positive. A colonoscopy is a procedure where a scope is inserted into the rectum to look at the lining of the colon. A biopsy can be done during the prQpedure. A colonoscopy is recommended every I 0 years after age 50. Signs to look for are a chanlle in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation or narrowmg of the stool that lasts for more than a few days, a feeling that you need to have a bowel movement, bleeding, cramping, pain, weakness and fatigue. New research shows vitamin D had an effect on reducing colorectal cancer, along with folic acid and magnesium. People who regularly use aspirin and other non-steroidal drugs such as Motrin, Advil and Aleve have a 20 to 50 percent lower risk of colon cancer and polyps. NSAIDS can cause bleedin~ from stomach irritation. · Early detection is the key factor. If everyone were tested, ten of thousands of lives could be saved each year.

How that quote came to be a part of America11 life is anybody's guess, but we do know that packaged sliced bread was first sold in the United States in 1928. In fact, Chillicothe, Mo., is making the claim that it is · the home of sliced bread. It was in 1928 when the Chillicothe Baking Co. bought the Rohwedder slicer and began packaging Kleen Maid sliced bread. Battle Creek, Mich., disputes Chillicothe's claims and says that sliced bread was first sold in Michigan. St. Louis baker Gustav Papendick improved on Rohwedder 's invention so that the slices would stay together long enough to be put in a wrapper by a machine. Before that, workers had to restack the bread by hand. The Holsum Bread Co. in I928 and Wonder Bread in 1930 further refined the process. Some of the Wonder Bread ads from the 1930s make use of this phrase, "the greatest thing since sliced bread," but whether they introduced the phrase to the American lexicon is unclear. But Gallipolis was not too far behind in "sliced bread," for in 1930 J.W. Mootz built a modern bread baking factory on Vine Street, that is still standing, though bread has not been made there for half a century. When the Mootz Bakery was first opened in the fall of 1930, the company placed several full page ads m the Gallipolis Daily Tribune. One ad stated: "With the opening today of the new Mootz Bakery, Gallipolis discovers a new magic wonderland - a plant that will amaze and astound you with its modern invention. Here you will find a startling new picture of brell!l making - here you will see the most modern inventions of scientists brought together to bake for you the finest bread you've ever tasted.

Thank'You To prevent cheating, state fair to track animals with eye scans COLUMBUS (AP.) The Ohio State Fair plans to begin identifying livestock using the same eyescan technology police agencies have adopted . to keep track of children, foreign banks have introduced to improve ATM security and jails have used in place of fingerprinting. · To make sure there's no cheating in livestock competitions, the fair has purchased an optical scan system that will register identifying characteristics in the eyes of farQ~ animals. Starting next year, the iris scans will track animals to ensure contestants have entered the same sheep and steers they'd been raismg in youth farm programs. "We definitely have to make sure that kids · stick with their projects," said Virgil Strickler, the fair's general manager. Since the 1980s, when thete were problems with youngsters entering steers bought just weeks before the competition, the fair has used a less high-tech approach to keep things clean. Inspectors now identify the animals by taking prints of their noses, in a method similar to fingerprinting. The fair will shift to the optical scan machine next year for tracking sheep but with steers, it will likely use both the ink-and-paper method and scanoing before fully embracing the new system in 2009, officials said.

"To have this character in this kind of venue, is something that I never would have expected,'' said Sedgwick. "Nor would I ever expect that it would be so well received and gaining audience in its third year. Having this kind of success is somethin g that I would never have expected, so I'm incredibly happy and lucky. And, yes, it is at a wonderful time in my life, when I'm old enough to appreciate it." Taylor, who for a time was part of the ensemble on HBO's "Six Feet Under," is 40, Sedgwick 41, Hunter 49 and Close is 60. All see m sincere whc;n they say these are among the most fascinating characters of their careers. Hunter said she took on the role of haunted, harddrinking Oklahoma City cop Grace Hanadarko because she simply couldn ' t bear the thought of any · other actress playing her. "She 's quite an original creature," Hunter explained. . "And she's kind of part fantasy, tJecause a lot of what Grace says 'yes' to, people wish they could say 'yes' to, but they're too afraid of the consequences. And she's just fashioned an unonhodox life for somebody who is in her 40s. She's not married, she doe sn't have children, she doesn't have a huge overhead. She's chosen to be kind of liberated. But with liberation comes a certain confmement, as well. and she finds that out along the way. When you say, 'yes' to things, you're saying 'no' to a lot of other things." Cable, with its shorter seasons, sometimes offering just half .the number of episodes of a se ries as broadcast TV doe s, assures these actors can say "yes'' each year to work in other venues, such as movies and theater.

Insulated bags and boxes often come wiih separate companments to keep food at different temperatures, and everything in its place. And there 's plenty of room for individual tiny containers, so kids can have fun ''making" their own food. "I've had four kids, and if the lunches are fun, parents aren't going to get resistance," says Kit Bennett, founder of the family advice site AmazingMoms.com. ~'It's wonh a little bit of extra effort the night before if you know you are providing healthy food." . For example, in an insulated, multi-compartment lunch box, pack a "make your own taco" kit, complete with lettuce, shredded cheese, meat .and salsa your child can use to· assemble a have-it-your-way · healthy Mexican meal . Or instead of assembling a sandwich yourself, pack the ingredients separately and let your child put it all together at lunch (or eat it in decon·structed fashion). Of course, you'll need to make sure you 're packing foods your child likes in the first place. , "Get kids involved so they are more likely to eat it," suggests Deanna Cook, director of creative development for FamilyFun magazine. "I often talk with my kids about how lunch went that day. I ask them if there was something someone else had that looked good."

Insulated bags and boxes often come wiih separate companments to keep food at different temperatures, and everything in its place. And there 's plenty of room for individual tiny containers, so kids can have fun ''making" their own food. "I've had four kids, and if the lunches are fun, parents aren't going to get resistance," says Kit Bennett, founder of the family advice site AmazingMoms.com. ~'It's wonh a little bit of extra effort the night before if you know you are providing healthy food." . For example, in an insulated, multi-compartment lunch box, pack a "make your own taco" kit, complete with lettuce, shredded cheese, meat .and salsa your child can use to· assemble a have-it-your-way · healthy Mexican meal . Or instead of assembling a sandwich yourself, pack the ingredients separately and let your child put it all together at lunch (or eat it in decon·structed fashion). Of course, you'll need to make sure you 're packing foods your child likes in the first place. , "Get kids involved so they are more likely to eat it," suggests Deanna Cook, director of creative development for FamilyFun magazine. "I often talk with my kids about how lunch went that day. I ask them if there was something someone else had that looked good." Several times a year Cook even joins her daughters, ages 6 and I 0, for lunch at s.chool to see what their peers are eating.

Encourage your children to use the ingredients to assemble their own stacks of crackers, meat and cheese.

The honeylocust pod gall attacks our ornamental honey locust by deforming the leaves of the honeylocust into pods. The central of the pod holds the sap sucking midge, Dasineura jlleditschiae.

The process reduces the smell of manure as well. "More of our neighbors will take it for fertilizer because the people who live near their farms won't complain that it smells," said Chris Weaver, whose family owns and operates the dairy in Williams County. The family hopes to have the methane digester operat- ing by year's end. Weaver said it will produce about 30 percent more energy than the farm will use. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has agreed \O chip in $500,000 of the $2 million that each digester costs, said Randy . Monhemius, business program specialist. In addition to the projects at Bridgewater Dauy and Wenning Poultry, the agency has approved another $500,000 for a manure digester at Harrison Ethanol, which intends to house 10,000 beef cattle and 2,000 dairy cows at a new farm in Harrison County in eastern Ohio. Federal fund. ing for the three projects totals $!.5 million. PageD2 Pomeroy • Mrddleport • Gallip.olis, OH • Pt. Pleasant; WV Sunday, August 12, 2007 m·rtbune - Sentinel - l\e Pasteurized alJttond rule has.sorne fanners and raw food fans going nuts BY GARANCE BURKE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MADERA, Calif.- Raw, organic almonds form the basis of Karyn Calabrese's garlicky nut pate, her vegan pie crusts and vanilla ice cream custards. But under a new federal rule requiring that virtually all almonds be pasteurized to prevent foodborne . illness, the Chicago restaurateur will have to substitute a new nut, or go to vast lengths t(l ,import her raw almonds from across , the globe. Industry representatives say tightening food safety rules to subject almonds to heat treatment will help expand the market for California farmers, who grow about 80 percent of the world's almonds in a flat strip of land sandwiched between the Pacific coast and the Sierra Nevada mountains. But ihe regulation, set to take effect Sept. I, has also angered everyone from organic farmers to followers of the restrictive raw foods diet. "The almond is the king of the nut world and a main staple for raw foodists," said Calabrese, whose elegant restaurants feature small plates of raw, vegan food, none of which has been heated above II 0 degrees. "I haven't even thought out what I'll do because it's just such a mind-blowing situation." Almonds have become increasingly lucrative as they 've gained popularity with health-conscious consumers. California farmers expect to harvest 1.3 billion pounds of almonds this year, a bumper crop worth more than $1.4 billion. Following Salmonella outbreaks in 200 I and 2004 that were traced to raw almonds, the Almond Board of Cali fomia rallied for a federal rule requiring all almonds in' the state to be pasteurized to keep bacteria from infecting the nuts while they dry in the orchard or while they're processed. "We cons1der It unacceptable to continue shipping a product that could contain a ,microorganism that could make somebody sick," said Richard Waycott, president and CEO of the board, a marketing arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "We're really confident that this program is a win-win for everybody because it does not alter the product." In pasteurization - a process also used for milk, JUice and eggs the shelled and hulled nuts typically are laid out on a conveyor belt that passes them through a moist burst .of steam to heat the kernels' surface to about 200 degrees, killing any pathogens present. An alternative process sends the nuts into a chamber where they're sprayed with propylene oxide gas. Major almond buyers such as Mars Inc., Kraft Foods Inc. and The Hershey Co. reviewed a study by the board to determine if the process impacted the nut's quality, taste, texture and appearance, and found it had no effect, Waycott said. Once treated, the pasteurized almonds are ready for sale and can be legally shipped throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico, said Michael Durando, chief ·for the marketing order administration branch ai USDA'. • · Growers can apply for exemptions if they can prove that their manufacturmg process - be it dry roastmg, blanching or any other tradi tiona! treatments - achieves pasteurization: . They also can sell small quantities.of raw, unpasteurized almonds direct to customers ai farm stands or at certified California farmers markets, but can face penalties if they're caught selling more than I 00 pounds a day to any one person. . That's not enough volume for Berkeley-based Living Tree Community Foods, which soon will start importing its raw almonds from Spain to make its "living" nut butter. Company officials said its customers are concerned about the health effects of propylene oxide, a gas listed as a possible carcinogen by the International Agency ·on Cancer Research. Federal guidelines found that extremely low residue levels of the gas had no harmful effects, Waycott said. But the Cornucopia Institute, a Wisconsin-based farm policy research group, asked the USDA to hold off on implementing the rule to solicit an independent study on the chemical. The rule was developed over three years of careful discussions between industry representatives and agriculture officials, and won't be reconsidered, Durando said. ' Madera-based farmer Mike Braga, whose organic nuts are favored by Jive food fans and grocery chains such as Trader Joe's, said he won't break the law by continuing to sell raw almonds. But if customers CLASSIFIED aren't demanding it, he said he doesn' t see why he shouldn't be able to freeze his almonds instead of pasteurizing them. "We're going to luse our entire raw market," Braga said. "If such good almonds are available here, why should our customers have to import them from Europe?"

' kurstaki ' are effective in controlling this insect pest, as a larvae. The honeylocust pod gall attacks our ornamental honey locust by deforming the leaves of the honeylocust into pods. The central of the pod holds the sap sucking midge, Dasineura jlleditschiae. The first midges appear as the new leaves emerge from winter dormancy. However their numbers increase, as the season progresses wi_th as many as seven generatmns m a g1ven year. Sprays of carbaryl (Sevin), rotenone, or Bacillus t.

BY HAL KNEEN Honey locust trees throughout our area are showing the browning effects of three insect pests: bagworms, mimosa webworrh and honey locust pod gall.

The process reduces the smell of manure as well. "More of our neighbors will take it for fertilizer because the people who live near their farms won't complain that it smells," said Chris Weaver, whose family owns and operates the dairy in Williams County. The family hopes to have the methane digester operat- ing by year's end. Weaver said it will produce about 30 percent more energy than the farm will use. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has agreed \O chip in $500,000 of the $2 million that each digester costs, said Randy . Monhemius, business program specialist. In addition to the projects at Bridgewater Dauy and Wenning Poultry, the agency has approved another $500,000 for a manure digester at Harrison Ethanol, which intends to house 10,000 beef cattle and 2,000 dairy cows at a new farm in Harrison County in eastern Ohio. Federal fund. ing for the three projects totals $!.5 million. PageD2 Pomeroy • Mrddleport • Gallip.olis, OH • Pt. Pleasant; WV Sunday, August 12, 2007 m·rtbune - Sentinel - l\e Pasteurized alJttond rule has.sorne fanners and raw food fans going nuts BY GARANCE BURKE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MADERA, Calif.- Raw, organic almonds form the basis of Karyn Calabrese's garlicky nut pate, her vegan pie crusts and vanilla ice cream custards. But under a new federal rule requiring that virtually all almonds be pasteurized to prevent foodborne . illness, the Chicago restaurateur will have to substitute a new nut, or go to vast lengths t(l ,import her raw almonds from across , the globe. Industry representatives say tightening food safety rules to subject almonds to heat treatment will help expand the market for California farmers, who grow about 80 percent of the world's almonds in a flat strip of land sandwiched between the Pacific coast and the Sierra Nevada mountains. But ihe regulation, set to take effect Sept. I, has also angered everyone from organic farmers to followers of the restrictive raw foods diet. "The almond is the king of the nut world and a main staple for raw foodists," said Calabrese, whose elegant restaurants feature small plates of raw, vegan food, none of which has been heated above II 0 degrees. "I haven't even thought out what I'll do because it's just such a mind-blowing situation." Almonds have become increasingly lucrative as they 've gained popularity with health-conscious consumers. California farmers expect to harvest 1.3 billion pounds of almonds this year, a bumper crop worth more than $1.4 billion. Following Salmonella outbreaks in 200 I and 2004 that were traced to raw almonds, the Almond Board of Cali fomia rallied for a federal rule requiring all almonds in' the state to be pasteurized to keep bacteria from infecting the nuts while they dry in the orchard or while they're processed. "We cons1der It unacceptable to continue shipping a product that could contain a ,microorganism that could make somebody sick," said Richard Waycott, president and CEO of the board, a marketing arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "We're really confident that this program is a win-win for everybody because it does not alter the product." In pasteurization - a process also used for milk, JUice and eggs the shelled and hulled nuts typically are laid out on a conveyor belt that passes them through a moist burst .of steam to heat the kernels' surface to about 200 degrees, killing any pathogens present. An alternative process sends the nuts into a chamber where they're sprayed with propylene oxide gas. Major almond buyers such as Mars Inc., Kraft Foods Inc. and The Hershey Co. reviewed a study by the board to determine if the process impacted the nut's quality, taste, texture and appearance, and found it had no effect, Waycott said. Once treated, the pasteurized almonds are ready for sale and can be legally shipped throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico, said Michael Durando, chief ·for the marketing order administration branch ai USDA'. • · Growers can apply for exemptions if they can prove that their manufacturmg process - be it dry roastmg, blanching or any other tradi tiona! treatments - achieves pasteurization: . They also can sell small quantities.of raw, unpasteurized almonds direct to customers ai farm stands or at certified California farmers markets, but can face penalties if they're caught selling more than I 00 pounds a day to any one person. . That's not enough volume for Berkeley-based Living Tree Community Foods, which soon will start importing its raw almonds from Spain to make its "living" nut butter. Company officials said its customers are concerned about the health effects of propylene oxide, a gas listed as a possible carcinogen by the International Agency ·on Cancer Research. Federal guidelines found that extremely low residue levels of the gas had no harmful effects, Waycott said. But the Cornucopia Institute, a Wisconsin-based farm policy research group, asked the USDA to hold off on implementing the rule to solicit an independent study on the chemical. The rule was developed over three years of careful discussions between industry representatives and agriculture officials, and won't be reconsidered, Durando said. ' Madera-based farmer Mike Braga, whose organic nuts are favored by Jive food fans and grocery chains such as Trader Joe's, said he won't break the law by continuing to sell raw almonds. But if customers CLASSIFIED aren't demanding it, he said he doesn' t see why he shouldn't be able to freeze his almonds instead of pasteurizing them. "We're going to luse our entire raw market," Braga said. "If such good almonds are available here, why should our customers have to import them from Europe?"

Many will be labeled as such. Compatibility with other gear also is important. Lands' End and Pottery Barn Kids lunch boxes are desi¥ned to auach to the outs1de of the companies' backpacks, freeing up little hands without consuming · valuable real estate inside. And clean is key. Lands' End lunch boxes are seamfree inside, meaning they have no hard-to-clean creases. Some California Innovations models have dishwasher-friendly removable interiors, while others are impregnated with Microban, an antimicrobial. "If you've ever taken a whiff of a kid's lunch box halfway through a semester, you'll know why it's important," Birutis says.

The Corps was contracted to do the work through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a contract worth $780,000. Noel said ODOT is paying for all the work at the site and added the Corps reached their financial contribution cap of $1 million on the project three years ago when it initially worked on the bank. Noel noted the Corps has an annual budget of $15 million for the entire agency for its emergency program to stabilize shoreline and stream banks across the country. In addition to requesting the additional work beyond the $1 million cap, ODOT is working with the Corps by helping with regulating traffic along Ohio 124 which includes concrete ' barriers and a traffic light. Many residents have complained not everyone is obeying the traf. fie light signals which have been up since April with the job scheduled to be completed in July. The bank is being stabilized with the placement of sheet piling which is 270 feet in length. Sheet piling is described as interlocking pieces of metal driven into the ground to create a barrier and stabilize the bank. The area near the slip in Minersville used to be a mine and has created "mine spoil" which basically contributes to the instability of the soil. Lawn be gone: Plant moss, flowers or ponds instead BY DEAN FOSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS If you've finally had it up to here with llrass, primarily the repetnive mowing, weeding, watering and ·feeding routines. then you ' re in luck. You don't have to look far for some attractive and less labor-· intensive altern a ti v~s. Consider the merits of replacing or at lea~t down sizing you r lawn with clover, moss, ground covers, rocks, water features, succulents (particularly sedges) and other grass-like plants, herbs, shrubs and trees. when it's time to give your yard a facelifL Vegetable gardens and flower beds are good landscaping choices, too. But the kinds of non-grass options we ' re talking about here are the "plant it and forget it" or at least easycare substitutions. Check with city hall or review your neighborhoodassociation ground rul es before pulling up any sod, however. Some alternative plants may be classed as weeds ; weed ordinances were crafted out of concerns about in vasive plants and horticultural eyesores being introduced into residenJial areas. Some colorful exotics can attract all sorts of creepy-crawly critters along with creating sighlline or traffic hazards. "Usually the only time • someone needs to be concerned about weed ordinances which stipulate the height for grass and other 'weeds' to be maintained at, is if they use a meadow grass or a stand of native ·grass or . the low-growing fescues that only need to be cut once a year to tidy them up," said Stevie Daniels, author of "The Wild.Lawn Handbook: Alternatives to the Front Lawn" (Wiley, 1995). "It is best for them to have .a professional plan done to show their municipality board with a complete plant list including documentation about the fact the plants are indigenous to their area and may even be endangered, so their garden would actually be a way of helping preserve their area's . horticultural heritage," Daniels said. "It is also important for them to maintain their meadow or native planting well and keep a "2-foot-wide strip between their yard and thetr neighbor's (yard) mowed and neat," she said. "The more people understand about what they are doing and why, usually the less problems occur." Aside ftom saving time and money, grass alternatives may be just the ticket for problem growing areas - shady spots and sections slow to drain, for example . "The majority pf our customers are replacing or trying to replace their lawns because they can't get grass to grow," said Heidi Masucci, operations manager for Moss Acres Inc., a mail-order company in Honesdale, Pa. "They establish moss as an altemati ve." Moss grows esP.ecially well in acidic sotls (pH around 5.5), and in ground that is compacted, shaded or cool and moist. Moss provides a lush green backdrop even in winter, when most plants have dropped their leaves. Also, it doesn't have to be mowed, fertilized or pruned.· "With moss, you can get away from all that weeding," Masucci said. "It's less time-consuming. It's also good for the environment." Clover is an Earth-friendly, nitrogen-rich lawn plant. Its blossoms give off an attractive aroma, attracting a steady parade of honeybees and butterflies. It also recovers quickly when mowed. Xeriscaping, or replacing grass with more droughtresi slanl_plants, is yet another sman option. Many of these ground covers require little encouragement to spread rapidly, crowding out weeds and greening up otherwise parched landscapes in the process. Succulents, inclui:Iing cactus, are becoming popular easy-care choices in the nation's West and Southwest. " ... My garden now is at its spring peak," said Debra Lee Baldwin, from Escondido, Calif., and author of "Designing With Succulents" (Timber Press, 2007). "I stilllfave about 40 rose bushes and everything is blooming. The rest of the year, though, the succulents are the most interesting and everything is cut. back. Succulents add interest to your garden nine months of the year." Allowing your yard to go natural, with wild plants and flowers, is another way to bring beauty and diversity into your home landscape without breaking the bank.
