REED BREEOOMYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY The Democratic frontrunner for the U.S. House seat now occupied by U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland, D-Lisbon, will know Wednesday whether he is · still a candidate for Congress. State Senator Charlie Wilson, D- Bridgeport. · learned Thursday afternoon that his petition for the Sixth Congressional District seat could be rejected because of insufficient signatures from the qualified voters in the district. However, Wilson said late Friday he believes he has sufficient signatures and expects his petition to be certified in Columbiana County. . Wilson made an appearance at a reception in hi.s honor Thursday at Meigs County Democratic Party State Senator Charlie Wilson Headquarters in Pomeroy. He had planned to spend Friday meeting with Democratic leaders and business owners 'in Meigs County, and to tour the sites of proposed power plants in Lebanon and Letart Townships. However, he left for his campaign headquarters in Bridgeport after Thursday's reception to address the issue of insufficient signatures. Bill Moore, . a campa'ign staff member working the six southern counties in the district said Friday Wilson circulated petitions in both Scioto and Belmont Counties, each of which are part of two congressional districts. Some signatures on Wilson's petitions from within those counties but outside the Sixth District have been deemed invalid, and Wilson may not have the 50 signatures required for the May 2 primary. The Associated Press reported Friday that Wilson withdrew a batch of signatures he . filed Feb. 13, because he thought he could gather more sig natures and resubmit them before Thursday's deadline.

Younis explained that in fact, most Muslim men have only a single wife. He said that there is a provision that allows for up to four wives in times of need, but that is only a leftover from . history. During war times, with many men killed, women and children were left helpless. Since a woman is not allowed to live with a man she is not married to, this provision would allow a man to take in the wives of his fallen brothers and keep their families su pported . Younis said that the orily way to battle these misconceptions is through communication and · education. He hopes that if people get enough information, they will see for themselves that Muslims are not that different at all. He would like everyone to work togetjter to end this era of hate. · Howell said he thought this would be a good opportunity for his Eastern Civilization class to get some direct information about the culture they are currently studying, It gives them a chance to experience ideas and views they would otherwise not be exposed to.

Musser explained if all these variables, most importantly funding, fall into place the contractor indicated 10 him that the work could be done in 30 days time. "I would like to: get this done as quickly as possible," Musser said. "I definitely think we could get it done in the next 60 days.

READER'S VIEW Honor Presidents Day is imporf£lnt Dear editor: l, Zach Mayes. on behalf of the · Oaliia TeenAge Republicans am writing to you to e~pre ss the importance of . the Naiional holiday Presidents Day. · . ' Presidents Day was declared a national holiday in 1971 by former President Richard Nixon . He decided this because . there was Abraham Lincpln 's birthday 011 Feb. 12 and George Washington's birthday on Feb. 22. So .instead of having two federal holidays that are so c'Iose to each other, he decided to just make one. which would be able to honor not on ly former presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, but all of the past and present residents of the United States of America. We as the GTARS look at Presidents Day as more than just a day that we· get out of school. We look at the holiday as a day to honor all of our presidents that have led this great nation, regardless of their political p31ty or even.the controversial issues that came to be during their presidency. We as GTARS wiU always respect and honor their position as the president of the United States.' even thouoh we may have not liked the decisions they made while in office. We also believe that Gallia County s,hould have some son of event or activity during Presidents [)ay. perhaps holding some son of event where a speaker would be in attendance. And maybe that will spark a little more ·interest on the holiday of Presidents Day. And we as GTARS would be more and happy to be in attendance to help.

With more than 300 international media members in Houston, players like Yao and Parker were swarmed with the kind of crowds usually reserved for Bryant or Shaquille O'Neal.

"You can win in the regular season, but if you don't play together as a team it's going to be tough to win in the playoffs teams . And I think now teams are starting to recognize that.

By Dr. John Strauss, DDS Orthodontists are uniquely qualified specialists· who correct improperly aligned teeth and jaws. The American Dental Association requires Orthodontists to have at least two years of additional training in an accredited residency program after graduation from dental school. Only those who complete this specialized training can call themselves orthodontists and only certified·orthodontists can be members of the American Association of Orthddontists. · Orthodontists are trained to spot subtle problems with jaw growth or teeth while a child still has primary or "baby" teeth present. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends all children get a checl<up with an orthodontic specialist around the age of 7. Some of the problems to watch for in growing children are cross bites, deep bites. open biies. spacing problems, protrusion of teeth, and oral haqits. Orthodontists like to identify these types of problems as soon as · possible to il)itiate the proper care in a timely fashion. Other indicators that may dictate a visit to an orthodontist are: • Early or late loss of baby teeth • Difficulty in chewing or biting • Mouth breathing · • Jaws that shift or make sounds • Speech difficulties • Biting the cheek or the roof of the mouth • Facial imbalance • Grinding or clenching teeth It is never too late to get correction of teeth that need alignment. Adults have found in order to keep their teeth as long as possible that good alignment is a must. There are many ways to accommodate adult patients who do not want the traditional metal brackets. Advances in orthodontic treatment have made available other options including clear brackets to using no brackets at all. · Even though the eind result means a beautiful smile, the goal of the . orthodontist is to prevent or alleviate dental or physical health problems. Teeth an·d jaws that are in prqper alignment work better and last IQnger. If you have any concerns about the alignment oj your teeth or your children:s teeth, make an appointment with a certified orthodontist and find out what options are available for you and your family.

USDA aims to clarify ID stance OSU EXTENSiilN GALLI A COUNTY From Agriculture Secretary · Mike Johanns on down, just about everyone with a stake in the individual animal JD :issue is trying to clarify what has been a confused playi ng field. And it's more than getting thin gs straig ht a mong those i'n the know. Produce rs who w~t to do the ri ght thing by .voluntaril y submitting to the cattle ID system are getting frustrated. . On most every farm I visit , the question just about every producer asks is "Please, · please tell me what is expected of me and what I have to do." In a · speech Feb. 3 to the National Cattlemen ' s Beef Association, the • secretary repeated his e n~orsement of 'private databases that track animal movements, and, shifting . from a policy announced this past summer, he said there will be "multipi€" databases. Johanns also endorsed work done by the U.S. Animal Identification Organization, a fl edgling nonprofit centralized database spun off from an NCBA task force Jan . I 0. He linked private verificatiqn of age and origin of cattle with marketing beef overseas, noting that both Canada and Australia, with mandatory ID systems, are pushing traceability of their beef in marketing to the Japanese. It is tru~ that the Canadian ranchers ll1'e doing whatever it takes to see to it that their cattie get exponed to Japan. They're playing by Japan's rules. They haxe bought into source verification. Every cow and calf in Canada can be soil and roots from severe cold. On sunny days in winter, the tree 's trunk and main limbs can warm to 15 degrees higher than the air temperature. As soon as the sun 's rays stop reaching the stem, its temperature plummets, causing injury or permanent darnage to the bark. The two fllain types of injury are known as sun scald and frost cracki ng. The effects of sun scald and frost cracking can be redu_ced by sound arboricultural practices to maintain overall health, and also by covering the trunks of young, susceptible trees with a suitable tree wrap. Winter is a good time tq . prune "Most skilled arborists prefer pruning when trees are dormant," says !Jerstenberger. "With no leaves on fhe tree, the arbori st is better able to evaluate its architecture and spot dead or diseased .branches. In addition, since the ground is fro.zen, damage to the turf underneath the tree due to falling limbs and tire tracks is negligible. This is also a good time to check trees for diseases and other damage." Ways to improve landscape )lealth •Aeration around trees helps improve water and air movement in the soil. This strengthens the tree's root system and reduces soil compaction. • When planting. choose hardy trees avai !able in your area as they have better chances for survival in severe weather conditions. Choosing the best location and · following 'proper planti ng procedures should be your hi ghest priorities. • Stop fertilizing trees 111 early fall to allow them to prepare fo r winter. • In case of moderate storm damage. restoring the tree to its forme r health and beauty may take some time, bu t it generally can make a full recovery. Broken, hazardous limbs should be removed immediately.
