COLUMBUS Officials from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency' say they won't block permitting of coalfired power plants solely on the basis of a ruling from the United States Supreme Court that said carbon-dioxide can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. Although· the high court made the ruling in April, there have been no nationwide standards set by Congress or the United States Environmental Protection Agency in regards to carbon-dioxide emissions . Until that happens, the OEPA will not deny permits based solely on the court's ruling, according to The Columbus Dispatch .

Thursday - the first commercial fli~ht by the world's largest jethner, which boasts luxurious suites enclosed by sliding doors, double beds, a bar and the quietest interior of any plane. With 455 passengers, some of whom paid tens of thousands of dollars for a seat in aviation history, the superjumbo left Singapore for Sydney at 8:16a.m. on a 7 1/2-hour flight that launches a new era in air travel. Also on board flight SQ380 are a crew of about 30 including four pilots. Passengers clapped as the plane left the gate on schedule and taxied to the runway that was widened and .lengthened to accommodate the plane. More cheers broke out 16 minutes later as the double-decker aircraft, powered by four Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines, lifted smoothly into the nearly cloudless sky tinged pink by the light of the early morning sun. Flight attendants handed out champagne and certificates to passengers. "It is huge in here and very comfortable, even in economy, although the seats are a bit narrow," said Chris Billowes, 59, of Sweden, as he sipped champagne, leaning against the bulkhead near the emergency exit. Also among the passengers was Swedish electronics engineer Ralf Danielsson, 58, who took the first Concorde flight in 1979. "Twenty-eight years later, I thought it would be . Bv DONNA ABU.NASR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER RIYADH, Saudi Arabia One Saudi woman ignored the cancer growing in her breast for fear of seeing a male doctor.

Breast cancer is considered a taboo in the religiously conservative Arab countries of the Persian. Gulf even as the diseas~ claims more and more victims, but some women are pushing for greater openness about the illness. Their efforts received a boost this week: a visit from first lady Laura Bush to raise awareness about breast cancer. On Wednesday, her second day in Saudi Arabia, Mrs. Bush met with breast cancer survivors.in the western seaport of Jiddah. As a token of appreciation, they presented her with a long ·black scarf -· the kind Saudi women use to cover their hair in public - with pink ribbons symbolizing the disease attached to both ends. They then helped her wrap it around her head, even though visiting female dignitaries are exempt from Saudi Arabia's strict Islamic dress codes for women. "No· campaigns, ads or programs would have had the kind of impact that Laura Bush's trip has given to breast cancer awareness in the kingdom," said Sarnia al-Amoudi, a gyn~ologist who was diagnosed with the disease in 2006. "Her trip will make people ask: 'Why is she here? For breast cancer? Is it that serious in this country?'" she added. In Saudi Arabia, about 70 percent of breast cancer cases are not reported unti I they are at a very late stage, al-Amoudi said. In the U.S., most breast cancers are diagnosed much sooner, when they are more easily cured.

In Saudi Arabia, a campaign that began this month offers price discounts on mammograms and, in billboards, urges women: "Do the test now, for peace of mind." The problem is not a matter of resources. The kingdom has some of the world's best medical equipment and doctors, and even the poor have access to free · medical care. But many Saudis, like other Arabs, Won't even refer to cancer by name, calling it just "that disease" because of the fear surrounding the illness. Some families are afraid no one will marry their daughters if a mother's cancer becomes known. For others, however, the greatest obstacle is the idea of women being examined by male doctors. Al-Amoudi, who chronicled her struggle with cancer in a newspaper, recount· ed the story of a woman whose husband always pulls her away from the mammogram room because · the technicians are male. "The first thing women ask me when I tell them to get a mammogram is: ' Will the radiologist be male or female?"' she said. Asma' a al-Dabag, a radiologist for 27 years, said the . woman who was divorced turned mit to be cancer-free, while the woman who had aspects of the illness. AI-Amoudi has urged clergymen to "enlighten the people and take up the issue of women's health in their sermons." Somaia al-Thagafi, 32, who discovered a lump in her breast while in London a coupie of months ago, was happy with the support she received' from her husband and imme- · diate family. But other reactions were depressing. "Some treated me as if I was on my ileath bed," she said. "Others told me stories about women who died during reconstructive surgery. Some even told me to drop my treatment and . take herbal medicines instead." Fawzia al-Zewid, a 45year-old mother of six, said her husband's support was overwhelming after she was diagnosed with the disease two years ago. When she began losing her hair from chemotherapy, he shaved her hair before shaving hi s. Her two young sons al so shaved their heads. "They didn 't want me to have the only bald head in the house. What more support could you ask for ?" said ai -Zewid. ' Her husband died of a heart attack last year. "When he was alive. I wasn' t afraid of breast cancer," she said.

I have a past of drug dependency, but have been clean and sober for more than a decade. However, in the last few years, my stress level has gone through the roof. My doctor gave me an antidepressant and things got worse. Here's my question. During my drug years, among much other substance abuse, I smoked pot. In an effort to feel better about my current stress; I tried pot again, and, in very low doses, it helps tremendously. I have been unable to get a doctor to prescribe it. I am not interested in getting high. I just want to keep my anxiety under control, and the pot also seems to help me with anger issues. Of course, pot is illegal and I do NOT want to take risky chances purchasing it. So, Annie, am I merely a druggie who went back to the pipe, or could this be an acceptable form of controlling stress?

Dear Annie: Once upon a time, my wife could have written the letter from "Robbed in Michigan," whose husband died. She also lost lier husband at the young age of 32 . He also had been her soulmate. We met at a mutual friend's party (which she had to be talked into attending). Over time, she was able to cope and even learned to love again. After we married, her 3-year-olu became "our" daughter. She now call s. me ·'Dad," and ~er biological. father is "Angel Daddy." My wife still has bad times on the anniversary of her husband's death, but I have . learned to support her through these periods. I want "Robbed" to know that time will heal her pain and eventually she will also be able to love again. Her past and future are separate moments in time, and both should .be cherished. Please print this so she can have some hope beyond today. - S. . DearS.: You sound like a real gem, and your letter is sure to make a difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to write.

Thursday - the first commercial fli~ht by the world's largest jethner, which boasts luxurious suites enclosed by sliding doors, double beds, a bar and the quietest interior of any plane. With 455 passengers, some of whom paid tens of thousands of dollars for a seat in aviation history, the superjumbo left Singapore for Sydney at 8:16a.m. on a 7 1/2-hour flight that launches a new era in air travel. Also on board flight SQ380 are a crew of about 30 including four pilots. Passengers clapped as the plane left the gate on schedule and taxied to the runway that was widened and .lengthened to accommodate the plane. More cheers broke out 16 minutes later as the double-decker aircraft, powered by four Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines, lifted smoothly into the nearly cloudless sky tinged pink by the light of the early morning sun. Flight attendants handed out champagne and certificates to passengers. "It is huge in here and very comfortable, even in economy, although the seats are a bit narrow," said Chris Billowes, 59, of Sweden, as he sipped champagne, leaning against the bulkhead near the emergency exit. Also among the passengers was Swedish electronics engineer Ralf Danielsson, 58, who took the first Concorde flight in 1979. "Twenty-eight years later, I thought it would be . Bv DONNA ABU.NASR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER RIYADH, Saudi Arabia One Saudi woman ignored the cancer growing in her breast for fear of seeing a male doctor. Another was summarily ~ivorced on the mere suspiciOn she had the disease, while a third was dragged away from a mammogram machine the technicians were men. Breast cancer is considered a taboo in the religiously conservative Arab countries of the Persian. Gulf even as the diseas~ claims more and more victims, but some women are pushing for greater openness about the illness. Their efforts received a boost this week: a visit from first lady Laura Bush to raise awareness about breast cancer. On Wednesday, her second day in Saudi Arabia, Mrs. Bush met with breast cancer survivors.in the western seaport of Jiddah. As a token of appreciation, they presented her with a long ·black scarf -· the kind Saudi women use to cover their hair in public - with pink ribbons symbolizing the disease attached to both ends. They then helped her wrap it around her head, even though visiting female dignitaries are exempt from Saudi Arabia's strict Islamic dress codes for women. "No· campaigns, ads or programs would have had the kind of impact that Laura Bush's trip has given to breast cancer awareness in the kingdom," said Sarnia al-Amoudi, a gyn~ologist who was diagnosed with the disease in 2006. "Her trip will make people ask: 'Why is she here? For breast cancer? Is it that serious in this country?'" she added. In Saudi Arabia, about 70 percent of breast cancer cases are not reported unti I they are at a very late stage, al-Amoudi said. In the U.S., most breast cancers are diagnosed much sooner, when they are more easily cured.

In Saudi Arabia, a campaign that began this month offers price discounts on mammograms and, in billboards, urges women: "Do the test now, for peace of mind." The problem is not a matter of resources. The kingdom has some of the world's best medical equipment and doctors, and even the poor have access to free · medical care. But many Saudis, like other Arabs, Won't even refer to cancer by name, calling it just "that disease" because of the fear surrounding the illness. Some families are afraid no one will marry their daughters if a mother's cancer becomes known. For others, however, the greatest obstacle is the idea of women being examined by male doctors. Al-Amoudi, who chronicled her struggle with cancer in a newspaper, recount· ed the story of a woman whose husband always pulls her away from the mammogram room because · the technicians are male. "The first thing women ask me when I tell them to get a mammogram is: ' Will the radiologist be male or female?"' she said. Asma' a al-Dabag, a radiologist for 27 years, said the . woman who was divorced turned mit to be cancer-free, while the woman who had aspects of the illness. AI-Amoudi has urged clergymen to "enlighten the people and take up the issue of women's health in their sermons." Somaia al-Thagafi, 32, who discovered a lump in her breast while in London a coupie of months ago, was happy with the support she received' from her husband and imme- · diate family. But other reactions were depressing. "Some treated me as if I was on my ileath bed," she said. "Others told me stories about women who died during reconstructive surgery. Some even told me to drop my treatment and . take herbal medicines instead." Fawzia al-Zewid, a 45year-old mother of six, said her husband's support was overwhelming after she was diagnosed with the disease two years ago. When she began losing her hair from chemotherapy, he shaved her hair before shaving hi s. Her two young sons al so shaved their heads. "They didn 't want me to have the only bald head in the house. What more support could you ask for ?" said ai -Zewid. ' Her husband died of a heart attack last year. "When he was alive. I wasn' t afraid of breast cancer," she said. "Today. without his support, I am." . BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: I am a married man and the father of two wonderful children . I have a past of drug dependency, but have been clean and sober for more than a decade. However, in the last few years, my stress level has gone through the roof. My doctor gave me an antidepressant and things got worse. Here's my question. During my drug years, among much other substance abuse, I smoked pot. In an effort to feel better about my current stress; I tried pot again, and, in very low doses, it helps tremendously. I have been unable to get a doctor to prescribe it. I am not interested in getting high. I just want to keep my anxiety under control, and the pot also seems to help me with anger issues. Of course, pot is illegal and I do NOT want to take risky chances purchasing it. So, Annie, am I merely a druggie who went back to the pipe, or could this be an acceptable form of controlling stress?

Dear Annie: Once upon a time, my wife could have written the letter from "Robbed in Michigan," whose husband died. She also lost lier husband at the young age of 32 . He also had been her soulmate. We met at a mutual friend's party (which she had to be talked into attending). Over time, she was able to cope and even learned to love again. After we married, her 3-year-olu became "our" daughter. She now call s. me ·'Dad," and ~er biological. father is "Angel Daddy." My wife still has bad times on the anniversary of her husband's death, but I have . learned to support her through these periods. I want "Robbed" to know that time will heal her pain and eventually she will also be able to love again. Her past and future are separate moments in time, and both should .be cherished. Please print this so she can have some hope beyond today. - S. . DearS.: You sound like a real gem, and your letter is sure to make a difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to write.

Not only is it illegal , but it feeds your prior habit. Antidepressants sometimes take a bit of trial-and-error before finding one that works, although those, too, are drugs, albeit legal ones.

Just a few months ago it seemed as though the surging default rates in mortga~es to those with ~ haky credtt, known as subprime loans, would mostly hurt the U.S. economy.

Around TODAY IN HISTORY steeper than they were just a lew months ago and households and businesses are find· ing credit harder to secure, according to Morgan Stanley economist Richard Berner. The spending habits of American consumers also threaten the "decoupling" strategy. Shoppers haven't yet gone on a buying strike, but should they begin to curb their spending , that would hurt foreign growth considerably by lowering demand for U.S.-bound exports. Given the mounting finan· cia! turbulence around the world, the ·JMF revised its economic forecast last week to reflect these uncertain times. "Risks to the outlook lie firmly on the downside, centering around the concern that' fmancial market strruns could continue and trigger a more pronounced global slowdown," according to its World Economic Outlook Update. · · The IMF is now forecasting 1. 9 percent growth in 2008 for the U.S., down from a 2.8 percent estimate in July. It also cut its 2008 forecast for China by 0.5 percentage point to 10 percent and sliced its estimate for European Union countries by 0.4 percentage point to 2.1 percent. Yet even with all this going on, there's still plenty of inter· est in internationally focused investments. Citigroup's chief U.S. equity strategist Tobias Levkovich notes that there are increased volumes of requests for · overseas sales exposure, which "suggests that everyone is looking in the· same place for outperformance opportunity." That herd mentality is troublesome if investors don't recognize · the risks. Levkovich likens it to the wave of stock-buying interest earlier this year in potential buyout candidates, whose shares rose sharply until the private-equity boom became a casualty of the credit crisis over the summer. A look back in history shows how the international investing theme can backfire. At the start of .this decade, many investors argued that the u.S. economic slowdown · wasn't going to affect . European economies that were thought to have little exposure to U.S. exports. But then the technology boom went bust, and Asia - like the United States - was rocked hard by the downturn. Europe took a hit, too, because it exported into other parts of the worl~ that were affected, Levkovich said. That's why investors can't just throw cash overseas and count on happy returns. The world is connected in ways that might not even be obvious. • 2007 .Obituaries Glennis H.

Trick or treat set the same time, Fineman praised Bush's taste for impe· rial purple and "ermine robes." But now Gore had accomplished something in the realm of intellect most politi· cians could· only imagine. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown found his work "inspirational." French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed appreciation that "a great American used his position to set an example." And The Washington Post? Its front-page coverage of Gore's Nobel Prize referred readers to an article headlined "Judge Rules Gore's Climate Film Has 9 Errors." In a condescending editorial, it described · Gore's achievement as "impressive and important, notwithstanding factual misstatements and exaggerations such as the 'nine significant errors' in the film cited by a British judge Wednesday. By also awarding the prize to the IPCC, the Nobel committee bolstered the more solid scientific assessments of the U.N.sponsored organization ... moderating some of his more questionable assertions." What, British judges now settle scientific disputes? Based upon what qualifications, I wonder? Maybe it won't surprise you to learn that the word "significant" . didn't appear in Judge Michael Burton's ruling. Nor did the word "errors," unaccompanied by ironical quotation marks. The judge ruled in a lawsuit seeking to prevent "An Inconvenient Truth" from being shown to British schoolchildren . Known for his conservative sympathies, Burton threw out the case, ruling that "Gore's presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change in the ftlm was broadly accurate." Stipulating that "the hearing before me did not relate to an analysis of the scientific questions," the judge threw a sop to the plaintiffs, identifying nine instances that, "in the context of a political film" (my emphasis), needed balance. TIITI Lambert, a computer scientist at the University of New South Wales (Australia), fact-checked the' opinion , on his . blog (htlp://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2007/1 0/th e_washington_posts_war_on _go.php). Judge Burton won't receive ah "A." In several instances, the judge is simply out to lunch: Sony, but residents of several Pacific island nations are emigrating to New Zealand due to rising seas; polar bear drownings have in fact been documented due to vanishing Arctic ice. In others, Gore's film simply doesn't make the categorical statements Burton's ruling depicts. He never says global wanning caused hurricane Katrina; only that with warmer seas will come more catastrophic storms. Nobody doubts that. Is "An Inconvenient Truth" I00 percent accurate in every syllable? People, it's a popularized .lecture by an impassioned amateur, not a PhD dissertation. Compared to Gore 's achievement, the Post's "nine significant errors" are childish quibbles.

Members hear review of Amy Tan book POMEROY - "Saving Fish from Drowning" by Amy Tan was reviewed by Leah Ord at a recent meet· ing of the Middleport Literary Club held at the Pomeroy Library. Phyllis Hackett served as hostess. Ord remarked that for readers who enjoy irony and are aware of the world situation "Saving Fish from Drowning" is a lark. Amy Tan, in a rather long and detailed book, presents a story about II American tourists and their misadventures in Myanmar (Burma). The group's tour director, Bibi , dies shortly before the group leave s, but she not on)y remains with them in spirit, but narrates their tale. The narration includes information about the art, culture, hi story, and geography of Burma. Myanmar is governed by a military junta whose repressive tactic s have been much in the news recently and Tan has captured the restrictive atmosphere of the area in her story, but has dealt with ir with a touch of comedy. The entourage blunders their way through "a thousand miles and a thousand years of art and culture" only to be kidnapped by a local trihe who believe that one of their number is the '' Younger White Brother" who will save them from the prosecution the junta has rained upon their kind. While the conditions of their captivity are modest beyond belief. the tribe treats the touri sts with a humble kindness that causes each to examine their own outlook on Iife. As the world looks on through TV, the search for the lost · Americans would seem to bring much of the world to also look at how mankind treats one another. The depth of thi s concern is left to question . In the tradition of "Canterbury Tales," Amy Tan has written a humorous allegory concerning the condition of much of today's world. Ord concluded. Members answered roll call by telling of a misad~ venture that occurred to them or to someone else during a travel tour, especially if it was funny or unbelievable. The next meeting will be on Oct. 31 at the Pomeroy Library. Nadine Goebel will review "East Wind, Rain" by Caroline Paul. Pat Holter will be hostess. ·TOPS honors weekly weight-loss winners COOLVILLE Pat Snedden was named weekly best weight-loss winner and Pat Hall runner-up at the Oct. 23 meeting of TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter #OH 2013 Coolville.

Eileen .placed a special plaque on the cradle that says "Gideon and Artemesia Roush family cradle, 1860." Eileen said, "Maybe someone will see that and think, now who could that be?'' Those who are curious enough to look will find the names of Gideon and Artemesia's seven children which slept in the cradle. Those children were Arthur, Walter, Richard , Hen(y, Early, Jessie . (Roush) Neigler and Adele (Roush) Norris. All .of the children lived in.Meigs County, most in Letart Townsnip. Eileen is now 89 "and proud of it." She taught third and fourth grades for 38-years at Letart Falls Elementary School and always enjoyed running into her old students before she moved to Arizona. "There's not any better place in the world than this community in East Letart, I hate to leave · it," Eileen said. · Eileen sold her property for the development of American Municipal Power-Ohio's proposed power plant and knows the community is bound to change from how she left it, but she added she's glad the ""': ~ sale may result in some jobs for Meigs County. If the plant goes in, the entire Letart area may . undergo a major transfor· mation but there will be people like Eileen around who remember its earlier incarnation, and for those that don't, the museum and its relics such as the Roush cradle, will be · there to remind them. \ > ' -1· ,-; -::1 ... ).o- .:"if 11t:Wfllll.\ll.\!; , Rr'i L'f.S fRF Haunted Theater .

Around TODAY IN HISTORY steeper than they were just a lew months ago and households and businesses are find· ing credit harder to secure, according to Morgan Stanley economist Richard Berner. The spending habits of American consumers also threaten the "decoupling" strategy. Shoppers haven't yet gone on a buying strike, but should they begin to curb their spending , that would hurt foreign growth considerably by lowering demand for U.S.-bound exports. Given the mounting finan· cia! turbulence around the world, the ·JMF revised its economic forecast last week to reflect these uncertain times. "Risks to the outlook lie firmly on the downside, centering around the concern that' fmancial market strruns could continue and trigger a more pronounced global slowdown," according to its World Economic Outlook Update. · · The IMF is now forecasting 1. 9 percent growth in 2008 for the U.S., down from a 2.8 percent estimate in July. It also cut its 2008 forecast for China by 0.5 percentage point to 10 percent and sliced its estimate for European Union countries by 0.4 percentage point to 2.1 percent. Yet even with all this going on, there's still plenty of inter· est in internationally focused investments. Citigroup's chief U.S. equity strategist Tobias Levkovich notes that there are increased volumes of requests for · overseas sales exposure, which "suggests that everyone is looking in the· same place for outperformance opportunity." That herd mentality is troublesome if investors don't recognize · the risks. Levkovich likens it to the wave of stock-buying interest earlier this year in potential buyout candidates, whose shares rose sharply until the private-equity boom became a casualty of the credit crisis over the summer. A look back in history shows how the international investing theme can backfire. At the start of .this decade, many investors argued that the u.S. economic slowdown · wasn't going to affect . European economies that were thought to have little exposure to U.S. exports. But then the technology boom went bust, and Asia - like the United States - was rocked hard by the downturn. Europe took a hit, too, because it exported into other parts of the worl~ that were affected, Levkovich said. That's why investors can't just throw cash overseas and count on happy returns. The world is connected in ways that might not even be obvious. • 2007 .Obituaries Glennis H.

Trick or treat set the same time, Fineman praised Bush's taste for impe· rial purple and "ermine robes." But now Gore had accomplished something in the realm of intellect most politi· cians could· only imagine. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown found his work "inspirational." French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed appreciation that "a great American used his position to set an example." And The Washington Post? Its front-page coverage of Gore's Nobel Prize referred readers to an article headlined "Judge Rules Gore's Climate Film Has 9 Errors." In a condescending editorial, it described · Gore's achievement as "impressive and important, notwithstanding factual misstatements and exaggerations such as the 'nine significant errors' in the film cited by a British judge Wednesday. By also awarding the prize to the IPCC, the Nobel committee bolstered the more solid scientific assessments of the U.N.sponsored organization ... moderating some of his more questionable assertions." What, British judges now settle scientific disputes? Based upon what qualifications, I wonder? Maybe it won't surprise you to learn that the word "significant" . didn't appear in Judge Michael Burton's ruling. Nor did the word "errors," unaccompanied by ironical quotation marks. The judge ruled in a lawsuit seeking to prevent "An Inconvenient Truth" from being shown to British schoolchildren . Known for his conservative sympathies, Burton threw out the case, ruling that "Gore's presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change in the ftlm was broadly accurate." Stipulating that "the hearing before me did not relate to an analysis of the scientific questions," the judge threw a sop to the plaintiffs, identifying nine instances that, "in the context of a political film" (my emphasis), needed balance. TIITI Lambert, a computer scientist at the University of New South Wales (Australia), fact-checked the' opinion , on his . blog (htlp://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2007/1 0/th e_washington_posts_war_on _go.php). Judge Burton won't receive ah "A." In several instances, the judge is simply out to lunch: Sony, but residents of several Pacific island nations are emigrating to New Zealand due to rising seas; polar bear drownings have in fact been documented due to vanishing Arctic ice. In others, Gore's film simply doesn't make the categorical statements Burton's ruling depicts. He never says global wanning caused hurricane Katrina; only that with warmer seas will come more catastrophic storms. Nobody doubts that. Is "An Inconvenient Truth" I00 percent accurate in every syllable? People, it's a popularized .lecture by an impassioned amateur, not a PhD dissertation. Compared to Gore 's achievement, the Post's "nine significant errors" are childish quibbles.

Members hear review of Amy Tan book POMEROY - "Saving Fish from Drowning" by Amy Tan was reviewed by Leah Ord at a recent meet· ing of the Middleport Literary Club held at the Pomeroy Library. Phyllis Hackett served as hostess. Ord remarked that for readers who enjoy irony and are aware of the world situation "Saving Fish from Drowning" is a lark. Amy Tan, in a rather long and detailed book, presents a story about II American tourists and their misadventures in Myanmar (Burma). The group's tour director, Bibi , dies shortly before the group leave s, but she not on)y remains with them in spirit, but narrates their tale. The narration includes information about the art, culture, hi story, and geography of Burma. Myanmar is governed by a military junta whose repressive tactic s have been much in the news recently and Tan has captured the restrictive atmosphere of the area in her story, but has dealt with ir with a touch of comedy. The entourage blunders their way through "a thousand miles and a thousand years of art and culture" only to be kidnapped by a local trihe who believe that one of their number is the '' Younger White Brother" who will save them from the prosecution the junta has rained upon their kind. While the conditions of their captivity are modest beyond belief. the tribe treats the touri sts with a humble kindness that causes each to examine their own outlook on Iife. As the world looks on through TV, the search for the lost · Americans would seem to bring much of the world to also look at how mankind treats one another. The depth of thi s concern is left to question . In the tradition of "Canterbury Tales," Amy Tan has written a humorous allegory concerning the condition of much of today's world. Ord concluded. Members answered roll call by telling of a misad~ venture that occurred to them or to someone else during a travel tour, especially if it was funny or unbelievable. The next meeting will be on Oct. 31 at the Pomeroy Library. Nadine Goebel will review "East Wind, Rain" by Caroline Paul. Pat Holter will be hostess. ·TOPS honors weekly weight-loss winners COOLVILLE Pat Snedden was named weekly best weight-loss winner and Pat Hall runner-up at the Oct. 23 meeting of TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter #OH 2013 Coolville.

Eileen .placed a special plaque on the cradle that says "Gideon and Artemesia Roush family cradle, 1860." Eileen said, "Maybe someone will see that and think, now who could that be?'' Those who are curious enough to look will find the names of Gideon and Artemesia's seven children which slept in the cradle. Those children were Arthur, Walter, Richard , Hen(y, Early, Jessie . (Roush) Neigler and Adele (Roush) Norris. All .of the children lived in.Meigs County, most in Letart Townsnip. Eileen is now 89 "and proud of it." She taught third and fourth grades for 38-years at Letart Falls Elementary School and always enjoyed running into her old students before she moved to Arizona. "There's not any better place in the world than this community in East Letart, I hate to leave · it," Eileen said. · Eileen sold her property for the development of American Municipal Power-Ohio's proposed power plant and knows the community is bound to change from how she left it, but she added she's glad the ""': ~ sale may result in some jobs for Meigs County. If the plant goes in, the entire Letart area may . undergo a major transfor· mation but there will be people like Eileen around who remember its earlier incarnation, and for those that don't, the museum and its relics such as the Roush cradle, will be · there to remind them. \ > ' -1· ,-; -::1 ... ).o- .:"if 11t:Wfllll.\ll.\!; , Rr'i L'f.S fRF Haunted Theater .

The Blue Devils will finish up their season Friday when they travel to Athens . tor travel BY BRYAN WALTERS 8WALTERS®MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM THE PLAINS - Gallia Academy football will make history this Friday night when it travels to Rutter Field for a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League showdown with Athens during its Week I 0 season finale. The Blue Devils (3-6, 1-5 SEOAL) have the distinction of being the final gridiron opponent for the Bulldogs (1-8) as a member of the SEOAL. AHS, which last won a league football crown in 1990, starts next fall as a member of the TriValley Conferen~e Ohio Division. The Green and Gold who possess a dozen pigskin titles during their SEOAL tenure - have not found much success during their grand finale, producing zero wins in six league contests this season. The lone victory was in their home opener against non-conference foe Alexander back in Week 3 by a 14-7 margin. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, that's abo11t as good as things have gone. Those 14 points against the Spartans served as the highest offensive output for Athens this year until last week during a 63-19 loss to Jackson. Athens' offenseon average, - is producing just 8.3 points per game this season, not to mention a slight increase of 8.8 in SEOAL competition. Lack of scoring has been one thing 'for the Bulldogs, but the lack of a defensive presence has been another story all together. AH S has given up 400 total points in nine games this fall, an average of 44.4 points per game. In SEOAL games, the average · balloons to 56 points. The closest Athens has been in any SEOAL matchup this year was 30 points back . in Week 5 against Marietta, a 41-11 setback. The Bulldogs have also been shutout twice this season , first by Meigs (35 0) in Week 2 and then by Zanesville (74-0) back in Week 7. Athens allowed 485 rushing yards last week against Jackson, not to mention 542 total yards offen se. It hasn't exactly been a glamorous season for the tradition-rich Blue and White as wei\, who are ~oing through their first lostog campaign since 1998. The Blue De vi Is did end a 'five-game losing streak both overall and in the league last week with a 35-0 victory over Warren. In a year full of injuries and woes, GAHS coach Matt Bokovitz feels that his squad can .salvage a little dignity from a less than memorable season this weekend. "We definitely want to finish on a positive note and get thi s win. I really want to see our kids come and bring it," Bokovitz said . "We've really gotten after in prac tice this week and I think if we play physical like we have this week, we' II be okay. "! definitely beli eve these kids will bring their best effort Friday night.'" It will also serve as the final gridiron game for 18 seniors on the Gallia Academy roster. "We want our seniors to go out with a win in their final ball game, there is .no doubt about that," Bokovitz said. "We've went through quite a tumultuous season and now we need to pull together and play this last one as best we can." Those seniors wrapping up their football careers are Cole Jone s, Aaron Carpenter. Sam Shawver, Chris Lloyd , David Rumley, Stevens. Evan Nate Downey. Andy Denbow, Luke Watts, Mike Brown, Rusty Ferguson , Butch Marnhout, Chris McCoy, Tim Howell, Shawn Thompson, ·Cody Noble, Nick Stevens and Jeff Golden . The Blue Devils are being outscored 159-163 this season and are averaging 17.7 points per game . GAHS is also surrendering 18. 1 points defensively.

The Blue Devils will finish up their season Friday when they travel to Athens . tor travel BY BRYAN WALTERS 8WALTERS®MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM THE PLAINS - Gallia Academy football will make history this Friday night when it travels to Rutter Field for a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League showdown with Athens during its Week I 0 season finale. The Blue Devils (3-6, 1-5 SEOAL) have the distinction of being the final gridiron opponent for the Bulldogs (1-8) as a member of the SEOAL. AHS, which last won a league football crown in 1990, starts next fall as a member of the TriValley Conferen~e Ohio Division. The Green and Gold who possess a dozen pigskin titles during their SEOAL tenure - have not found much success during their grand finale, producing zero wins in six league contests this season. The lone victory was in their home opener against non-conference foe Alexander back in Week 3 by a 14-7 margin. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, that's abo11t as good as things have gone. Those 14 points against the Spartans served as the highest offensive output for Athens this year until last week during a 63-19 loss to Jackson. Athens' offenseon average, - is producing just 8.3 points per game this season, not to mention a slight increase of 8.8 in SEOAL competition. Lack of scoring has been one thing 'for the Bulldogs, but the lack of a defensive presence has been another story all together. AH S has given up 400 total points in nine games this fall, an average of 44.4 points per game. In SEOAL games, the average · balloons to 56 points. The closest Athens has been in any SEOAL matchup this year was 30 points back . in Week 5 against Marietta, a 41-11 setback. The Bulldogs have also been shutout twice this season , first by Meigs (35 0) in Week 2 and then by Zanesville (74-0) back in Week 7. Athens allowed 485 rushing yards last week against Jackson, not to mention 542 total yards offen se. It hasn't exactly been a glamorous season for the tradition-rich Blue and White as wei\, who are ~oing through their first lostog campaign since 1998. The Blue De vi Is did end a 'five-game losing streak both overall and in the league last week with a 35-0 victory over Warren. In a year full of injuries and woes, GAHS coach Matt Bokovitz feels that his squad can .salvage a little dignity from a less than memorable season this weekend. "We definitely want to finish on a positive note and get thi s win. I really want to see our kids come and bring it," Bokovitz said . "We've really gotten after in prac tice this week and I think if we play physical like we have this week, we' II be okay. "! definitely beli eve these kids will bring their best effort Friday night.'" It will also serve as the final gridiron game for 18 seniors on the Gallia Academy roster. "We want our seniors to go out with a win in their final ball game, there is .no doubt about that," Bokovitz said. "We've went through quite a tumultuous season and now we need to pull together and play this last one as best we can." Those seniors wrapping up their football careers are Cole Jone s, Aaron Carpenter. Sam Shawver, Chris Lloyd , David Rumley, Stevens. Evan Nate Downey. Andy Denbow, Luke Watts, Mike Brown, Rusty Ferguson , Butch Marnhout, Chris McCoy, Tim Howell, Shawn Thompson, ·Cody Noble, Nick Stevens and Jeff Golden . The Blue Devils are being outscored 159-163 this season and are averaging 17.7 points per game . GAHS is also surrendering 18. 1 points defensively.

Narrowly behmd Coal Grove is Ridgewood who currently looks as if It can overtake Coal Grove. Welcome to tournament ttme m htgh school football But Coal Grove can forget any playoff scenano tf tt can't get past River Valley. The Hornets come into Friday's game nding a threegame wm streak over Rock Hill (13-10), South POint (21-18) and Chesap~ake (28-6).

Cody McAvena led the ground attack with 13 yards as RVHS racked up JUSt 50 yards on the ground But more than anything RVHS will be looking to build on something to take mto the offseason.

The deiEinders must tallow a set of "rule s~ for which cards to play. Then , if these plays are interpreled correCtly, th ey wi ll greatly increase their chances of defealing a contract. In this deal, how should East and West card to beat three no-trump after West has led his fourt h-highest he art? North's decision to bid three no-trump is laudable. If the club su it is worth five or six tricks, th e, contract will probably make. And il il is wastepaper. maybe even one no-t rum p Is too high. (If you use two spades as a transfer 10 clubs. with opener's rebid saying whether or not he liKes clubs, that wou ld be a sensi· ble option.) If declarer can establish and run his clubs, ho will get home - unless the defenders taKe four hearts and one club firs!. EaSt should win the first trick with his heart ace- third hand high.

(If he had lhree left, he would return the lowest one.) Next, when So uth pl ays the heart queen. West must drop his two tO retain communication with his panner. Finally, when declarer plays on clubs, East grabs his ace (probably on the second round) and returns his last heart. West taK~s three lrid(s in the suit to Kill ' the conlract. BIG NATE MULl-IN G .

Playing the 10 is all right here, but would be fatal if West had lad from, tor example, K-J-9-4 of hearts. Then, because East has only two hearls remaining, he leads back the highe r one, the 10.

The meeting, held by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and attended by just under 150 people, was meant to inform the public of its role in the permitting process and to take testimony on AMP-Ohio's permit-to-install. A PTI must be obtained by the OEPA before an air pollution source is constructed in Ohio. Members · of the OEPA stated AMP-Ohio's permit is "not a done deal" and that the agency is neither for or against the plant. Bureaucracy aside, there were several people at the meeting who were not afraid to give testimony for and- against the facility proposed for Letart Falls. · The OEPA invited elected officials to speak first and Meigs County Commissioner Mick Davenport began the actual hearing process by voicing his support . for the plant. Davenport also presented the OEPA with letters of support from the mayors of the county's five municipalities and all elected county officials, including support from the trustees of Letart Township. Davenport said he understood Please see Plant.
