Raymond's retirement package is about $~00 mil" lion, according to published reports. Does everybody love . Raymond? l don't. I think he'sa greed-head. The Exxon-Mobil board of directors approved Raymon<;t' s compensation, and guess who appointed most of those well-paid board members to their positions? Does the name Lee Raymond ring a bell? And guess who is paying all those Exxon-Mobil salaries, including our pal Lee's? The regular folks who must buy gas to go to work and heat their homes. This is called "predatory capitalism." Let me. explain, and please keep in mind that I am a big-time supporter of capitalism. Gasoline supplies are at an eight yea.r bid on "futures" contracts. -. Every time the oil company executives, guys like Lee Raymond, see these people bidding up oil "futures," they order their retail gas station owners to jack · up prices to you. Supply and demand my carburetor ·this h.as nothing to do with the free market. If you don't believe me, try to start your own oil company. Just try. The government has to approve almost everything these conglomerates do, and there's i10 room for any "startups." So everyday A.mericans are at the mercy of a compli cated · shell game that is · manipulated by a few people playing high risk financial rouhitte. But it is no game to millions of Americans who have to buy gas. We have no choice. That's because the U.S. government declined to do what the government of Brazil did. Next yeai, Brazil, population 188 million, will be . totally independent of imported oil.

ATLANTA - Delta Air Lines lnc. ex-ecutives · said Saturday the roughly $280 million in average annual concessions approved by leaders of its pilot union is less than the airline wanted, but it agreed to the deal because of the likelihood the pilots ' pension plan wi ll be terminated. A company statement did not say how it arrived at that figure, which includes :i 14 percent wage cut, but it said · Delta believes the cuts are enough to help it successfully reorganize in bankn.)ptcy. "lt also represents additional hardship for our pilots and I 'appreciate their consideration of something that is vitally important to the future of thiscompany," Chief Executive Gerald Grinstein said. The union issued its. own statement saying th~ . deal , which . runs through 2009 , was the result of "comp licated financial negotiations ," but it would not provide an est imute of how much it believes the agreement is · worth, and the chairman of the union's executive committee, Lee Moak , did not respond to several requests . for comment. A spokesman said Moak was busy addressing pilots' .questions but may speak early this . coming week; The agreement replaces an interim deal accepted by the pilots that became effective on Dec. 15. That deal called for temporary cuts of 14 percent and other cuts equal to an additional reduction of I percent of wages. At the time. the value of the interim cuts was pegged at $ 143 million to $152 million a year on an annual basis. Leaders of the pilots union ratified the new agreement, which includes assurances the union won) block any company effort to terminate its pen sion pial) , late Friday after three days of meetings. The agreement between Atlanta-based Delta and union negotiators was rea~hed April 14.

Local ..Qfficials, representati,ves from the Iljedical community, schools, university, business, and churches will be meeting to learn of the expected i mpact of the predicted pandemic influenza . on Galli a County. Advance planning can lessen the impact of the expected outbreak of a new, deadly variety o,f flu and allow the local economy to recover more quickly. New animal and human strains of influenza occur regularly, but when an animal flu crosses over to humans and mutates so that it can spread easily between people, the novel influenza, will spread across the world very quickly. That is why it would he "pandemic described as influenza." Because it is new, there will be no immunity and no vaccines available for many. months. Infection control measures cannot stop the spread but can slow it while the vaccine is being developed . The death rates from the disease may vary from a slight in~rease to devastating levels, as was the case during .the World War I outbreak of Spanish flu which saw over I ,500 deaths of Ohioans in one week. Over half a million died in the U.S. alone before the outbreak subsided. The. implications for Gallia County spring from the expected htgh rate of absenteeism and unusually high dc:ath rates. Projected absenteeism of up to 40 percent (from illness and caring for sick family members) will have a major impact on our lives. We can expect school 'closures, temporary business closings, higher than normal deaths in young to middle aged adults, and need for supportive counseling. 'Families may be temporarily or permanently · deprived of wage earners and parents. Small businesses, in particular, may lose staff with skills or knowledge that are not easily replaced. Employers and hospitals may not have enough staff ICI operate fully. Hospital capacity will be overwhelmed. Trucking may be slowed so that grocery · she! ves are empty. . The impact of pandemic flu is expected to last for weeks to months because of repeated waves of outbreaks. Flu vaccine will not be available for many months. Therefore, the main strategy will be to slow the spread of the disease until the vaccine is avai lable and take measures to minimize its social and economic effects. Planning for the various private ·and ' public sectors of Galya County will help us weather the impact. Governor Tali's statewide pandemic influenza planning summit meeting was held in February. 'The first Gallia County planning meeting will be held in May, with future meetings to develop countywide plans for coordinated response. Attendance at the current meeting is by invitation because of limited space, but an open meeting will be . planned if the public shows mterest.Several types of planning checklists are available at the Gallia County Health Department on Jackson .

BY HAL • KNEEN POMEROY Alfalfa growers, be on the lookout for alfalfa weevil feeding . Our dogwood trees are in full bloom wht ch corresponds with the time alfa lfa larvae hatch from eggs laid last fall and early this spring. The larvae pass through four instar stages before they beco me adults. The last two stages are when the most damage to alfalfa occurs. Later hatching of weevil larvae causes little economic damage to the alfalfa as beneficial predator insects control the number of damaging instars. However, now is the time to assess the economic damage that may happen. Walk into the field and in three different places. collect I0 stems of alfalfa. Shake each of the 10 stems mto a light colored bucket and count the number of larvae that appear. If your alfalfa stems are less than 12 inches in length and you find less than 10 larvae on average from each test, your field does not need a rescue pesticide treatment. If your alfalfa is 12 to 16 inches in height, treatment is needed if 20 to 40 larvae are found on average, when checking 10 stems of alfalfa. · If you have economically damaging levels of alfalfa weevil, remember pre-harvest time intervals required after spraying some insecti- cides before you harvest the alfalfa. Ex tension Bulletin 545, "Control of Insect Pests of Field Cro ps," suggests several possible products: permethrin, cyfl ut)uin, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, cy halothrin derivations and malathion. If possi ble when ·Jarvae numbers are reaching economic threshold levels and the alfalfa is 22 inehes tall, cut the alfalfa. This limits alfalfa leaf damage · and exposes the remaining larvae to natural predators. The adult alfalfa weevtl is a sinall, brown, snout-nosed beetle wllh a dark brown stripe down its back. The alfalfa weevil larvae are green with a black head and a white stripe down its back. Several homeowners have called concerning cru.ing for rhubarb plants. Rhubarb is a perennial plant that when grown in a sunny, welldrained place may last 20 or more years. Snap off an~ seed stalk that appears, as tt saps the strength from the plant. Rhubarb needs three to four inches of new organic. matter added above its root system each year. Organic matter may be compost, aged manure or leaf mule!). 'fhe organic matter mulch keeps the root system cooler during the summer nutrients· and releases throughout the growing season. If fertilizer is needed, add a cup of "S-10-10" around each plant in early spring. •Each plant should be given at least a four-foot square area to grow in. Keep grass and other weeds away from the rhubarb. When trimming off the leaves, si nce we eat only the stalk, place tlie leaves around the bare ground surrounding the rhubarb to smoth er any emergi ng weed seeds . Scout around your garden and surrounding fields to eliminate any weeds called curly dock. Curly dock is a host plant to the rhubarb curculio beetle. Removal of curly dock reduces the number of potential beetles. · Root rot is the major disease of the rhubarb plant and · may be• best controlled by planting in a well-drained soil that doesn't flood. Planting rhubarb on a side of a hill works as long ·as plenty of organic matter is added to the clay soil. In drought years, remember to water your rhubarb plants. Enjoy the rhubarb or rhubarb-strawberry pies all year long as rhubarb may be frozen for later use. ••• Celebrate National Arbor Day on April 28 by planting a tree in your yard!
