ASSOCIATED PR ESS WRITER HAZARD, Ky. - As the : underground miner tries to cut away coal from the ribs of the mine, he makes a wide tur~ and bangs the hauler agamst the wall, injuring a fellow miner. It's a painful scenario that many miners llave seen before. But this time it's just a sim· ulation. , The mine . simulators at Hazard Community and Technical College in eastern . Kentucky give students inter" ested in a career in mining or rookies in the industry a taste . of underground dangers without risking their lives. After the disasters this year at the · Sago mihe in West Virginia and the Darby mine in southeastern Kentucky, experts say the new technology is a way to improve training for miners. "l(s going to shorten that ~e.ammg curve a lonll way, an~ tt s 111 a safe envrronment, said Frank Winstead, a coal ' mining instructor at the college and a 25-year mining veteran. Three-dimensional mine simulators have gained popularity within the coal industry and are being used in different forms from Appalachia to Australia.· For example, the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration uses a simulation lab at its academy in Beckley, W.Va., which ereates smoky or gaseous condilions for students practicing rescue techniques. In a statement, MSHA said simulators li.ke those offered at Hazard have been considered for the National Mine Health and Safety Academy, which trains min,e inspectors, miners and others in the. industry. . The agency said it has held off on using the simulator~ because "they are very expensive and are limited m the number of students that can be trained." The Hazard college invested about $530,000 for the four simulators, which include two surface mining machines - a haul truck and a dozer. The money came out of $3 million tjle state appropriated last year to the Kentucky Coal STAY THE couRSE,. WHAT CouRSE?

The simulation of a ·"continuous miner" machine, which cuts coal from the ribs of a mine and hauls it, is one,of four simulation software programs to be offered this faJJ.at Hazard. The other underground simulato.r . is a roof-bolting device which teaches students how to drive protective plates into the ceiling of mined out areas. The images on the computer programs are three-dimensional and can be viewed on a large screen, a standard computer monitor or a virtual reality headset. Industry experts see the simulatprs as a way to attract more people into mines as roughly 50 percent of the current mine work force prepares to retire within the next decade. "We are on the eYe of retraining our existing work force and of replacing a large segment of our work force with new miners," said Chris Hamilton, head of the West Virginia Coal Association and a member of a mine safety task force assembled after an explosion ill the Sago mine killed 12 miners in January. Last month, an explosion killed five miners in a Harlan County mine. There are about 15,500 underground and surface miners in Kentuc ky, a 25 percent drop from the s.tate's mining work force 10 years ago. Meanwhile, Appalachian coal production is gaining momentum. The region increased its production by 2 percent in 2005, with Kentucky miners producing an additional 4 million tons over the lastyear - bringing the state's total to 120 million tons. Coal production in the United States reached a record level in 2005, ending the year at 1.13 billion tons, according to preliminary data from the Energy Information Administration. Production in 2005 was 21.2 million tons higher than the 2004 level of !.11 billion tons. and surpassed the prior record set in 2001 by 5.6 million tons. . "In the big scope of things, our training on simulators will show new miners how the industry has changed and the job has become computerized," Box said. "That will increase the desire to enter the field." Even so, Winstead feels better knowing that the next generation of miners can make their bad decisions or careless mistakes which could prove fatal in reality - without endangering themselves or damaging millions of dollars of mining equipment. "It's a whole lot safer to run it on a simulator than under. ground the. old way," he said. PI us, the students learn what . to do when disaster strikes. The instructors can challenge the future miners by simulating ll)achine failure, poor visibility conditions, gas leaks and other emergencies. The simulators measure a student's perform ance by recording all hi s actions and any operating errors. For example, in one scenario, the miner uses the wrong drill bit to install a roof bolt, resulting in a flashing red caution message: "WARN ING - Drill bit too long." 'This generation of simulators really do mimic the precise movement and features of actual machines," said Hamilton, adding that West Ytrginia's two coal mining academi.es have employed both underground and surface mining si mulators. The experts noted that the simulators are supplements to traditional training and are not intende~ to replace mine training by cenifled firms or Kentucky Coal A>sociation. the state. .

Kill 'em.with kindness I got to thinking about courtesy the other day when a woman hit me with her car. I want to stress that this was totally my fault. I was crossing a street in Miami , in a pedestrian crosswalk, and I saw the woman 's car approaching, and like a total idiot I assumed she would stop. The n::ason I assumed this - you are going to laugh and laugh - is that there was a stop sign facing her, saying (this is a verbatim quote) "STOP." I don't know what I was thinking . In Miami , it is not customary to sto p for stop signs .· The thinking in Miami is, if you stop for a stop sig n, the ·other motorists will assume that you 're a tourist and ·therefore unarmed, and they will help themsel ves to yo ur money and medically valuable organs. Fo, the same reason, Mi ami dri vers do not interpret traffic lights . the same way as normal humans do. This is what a traffic light mean s to a Miami driver: GREEN : Proceed. YELLOW: Proceed Much Faster. RED : Proceed While Gesturing. . So anyway, t,here I was, Mr. Stupid Head, expecting a Miami motori st to stop for a stop sign, and the result was that she had to slam on her brakes, and I had to leap backward like a characte r in a rental movie on rewind, and her car banged into my left knee. I was shaken , but .fortunately I rem ained calm Dave Barry enough to remember what leading medical authorities advi se you to do if you're involved in an accident. "Punch the car, " they advi se . So I did . I punched the car, and I pointed· to the stop sign, and, by way of amplification, I yelled, "THERE' S A STOP SIGN!" The woman then rolled down her window a nd c ex pre ssed her deep remorse · as follows : "DON'T HIT MY (UNLADYLIKE WORD) CAR, YOU (VE!RY UNLADYLIKE WORD)'" . I sho uld have ye lled a snappy co meback, such ~s : "OH , YEAH? WELL, ]).)OW, IN ADDITION TO MY KN EE, MY HAND HURTS !." But before .

In tlie 1840s: a group of men fron:t Gallipolis arid surrounding area formed a flatboating enterprise. Each summer; the men would spe nd time building flatboats and barrels. Then they could buy up ' produce such as potatoes, apples and so forth, package them in barrels and start the trip to New Orleans. The men in the above company included Capt AI Kinder, Marion Gates, Reuben Aleshire and John Hutsinpillw. Kinder piloted his first flatboat at the age of 16. He remained.on the river for over 50 years. Several flatboats were built at the mouth of. the Raccoon Creek with · wood that had been sa wed at the Cora ·Mill and then floated down the creek to the Ohio River. After the Civil War, a company was formed called Graham, Riggs and Co. to build flatboats and later wooden barges in order to ship produce. In the Nov. 27, I873 , Gallipolis Journal, we find this entry: " H. Watson, Esq., started to New Orleans on the 2nd of this month with a boat load of apples, in the tow of the Little Condor, Capt. Smith and Alfred Kinder, first pilot. Mr. Watson received a dispatch at Vicksburg from home, informing him of the death of his daughter Emma. On the receipt of the sad news he started home Thursday evening, the 20th from Vicksburg, and arrived home Sunday evening, 23rd, on the St. James. He left all well in the fleet which had got along very nicely.

GALLIA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT Studies indicate tick- and mosquito-borne diseases are still a threat to public health in Ohio. Some tick species carry diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Also, mosquitoes in Ohio are known to cause La Crosse encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, and West Nile Virus in humans and animals. .To protect yourself from these illnesses, health officials urge all Ohioans to take precautions when outdoors . and learn to identify specific areas that may attract ticks and mosquitoes. Of the diseases caused by ticks, Lyme disease is the most common in Ohio. Since 1984, 83 of88 Ohio counties (including Gallia County) have reponed a total of 923 cases. In 2004, there were more than 17,000 cases of Lyme disease reported in the United States, mostly in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Lyme disease is transmitted by the Black-legged Tick, a tick not commonly found in Ohio, but does inhabit the leaf litter · in some wooded areas. Being the size of a pin head may be the rea5on why fl!w are fout1d. The American dog tick is abundant in Ohio. This tick is found on your pets and most likely on you after an outdoor activity. These .ticks are known carriers of Rocky Mountain sported fever. Since 1990, Ohio has reported 2~5 cases of the disease in 51 of 88 counties, including five cases in Gallia County. Symptoms of this diseao;e · include fever, headache and other flu-like symptoms, often followed by the characteristic spotted rash. When diagnosed, the disease is treated -with antibiotics. If it is left untreated, the disease can be · fataL If you lind a tick on you , or your pet, be careful when removing it. If you squeeze the body of the tick or attempi to "bum off' the tick with a match, you may cause it to inject disease-containing bacteria into the bloodstream, much like a mini-syringe. To properly remove ticks you must use fine tipped tw~zets and grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull the tick gently, but firmly, straight out until it pulls free. If the ticks are kept alive you may have them identified and possibly tested through the Gallia .County Health Department and the Ohio Department of Health. The most common mosquito-borne illness is the West ' Nile Virus (WNV). In 2005, =============================== 2 () () (j J( C) C) 'f IIi\ I.. I.. S (~ Ill~ I) IJ I..

As for Ohio, !)I human and 15 horse cases IYere confirmed last year. There were 84 infected birds (both alive and dead) found in 33 of 88 counties. Since 2002, there have been 622 human cases of WNV in Ohio with' 43 fatalities resulting from contra"ting the virus. The number of cases of West Nile Virus has dropped since first discovering the virus in Ohio in 200 I. In fact, humans have less than I percent chance of becominl): severely ill if bitten by an mfected mosquito. Only 20 percent of infected · people ever develop symptoms and most will recover on their own. Symptoms ofWNV may develop 3 to 14 chlys 3fter being bitten and they are generally mild and flu-like. Treatment in the more severe cases is primarily supportive because there is no antibiotic or antiviral drug available for treatment. This is why learning to protect yourself is important in lessening the chance of hav- · ing a tick- or mosquito-borne illness. The Ohio Department of Health suggests the following precautions to avoid possibl~ infection from tick and/or · mosquito bites: •. Avoid outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. • If you must be outdoors, be sure to wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, shoes and socks. Light colors are less attractive to mosquitoes. • Tuck pant bottoms into socks to prevent ticks from getting under clothing. • Use insect repellent with the ingredient DEET and follow the label directions.Be aware of ticks in wooded or grassy areas. Immediately check clothing and skin for ticks after traveling through these areas. To eliminate mosquito breeding sites near your home: • Remove all discarded tires and other water-holding containers, such as tin cans and ceramic pots, from your property. Elim.inate standing water from your property. • Make sure all roof gutters are clean and drain properly. • Clean and chlorinate pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs. Keep them empty when not in use and drain water ' from pool covers. • Change water in birdbaths weekly. • Fill in any holes in trees.

The former champion sits 17th in points and has been struggling throughout the year with only one win and three top I0 finishes and, although he had a strong second place run last week at Pocono, for the most part the season has beer heavily marred with bad luck. • And while the team knew they might struggle, no't making the Chase is not something they had in mind. Busch, who won the inaugural Chase for the Nextel Cup in 2004, also made last year's playoff along with Rusty Wallace, who Busch took over for late last season. But despite the struggles the team has encountered, Busch remains optimistic that the Chase is still not too far out of reach.

Riley has been impressed by the way Wade has adapted to the various defenses the Mavericks have thrown at him. "He had two difficult games in Dallas," Riley said of Wade, ·a combined 17-ot~44 in Garnes I and 2: "He was driving incessantly to tbe rim, getting a lot of layups and I thought he was going at I00 TT]iles per hour or faster. . "He had to slow down, ·relax and see the game better and' I think he's.done that," he said. "l think he's just taken a good loolc at the game and not rushing things." Johnson's in a hurry.to figure out how to stop Wade from slashing, · scoring, falling, get- · ting up and .doing it all again. Wade's averaging 32.3 points and at least a handful of jawdropping moments per game in the series. • "When we've tried to contain him one-on-one, he's gotten around us," Johnson said, his high-pitched voice nsmg. "When we 've tried to quick trap him, he split the quick traps. When we've tried to slow trap him, he's spun out. "So I'm just going to try to come up with another type of defense. or maybe at some point, somebody will get angry enough on our team and we' II guard him a littie bit stronger and not let him ,split the trap."· Seated at a podium in front of reporters at the time, Johnson may as well have been standing in Dallas' locker room addressing players he feels aren't ·focused at the season's most crucial point. He wasn't happy; and he wasn't finished. "And we've zoned him, too," he said. "That dido 't go well, either." For Dallas, nothing is right now.

Vicki Crabtree, cl)air of School of Technology at Rio Grande, said she is very proud that all 16 students . have already passed the national certification tests. "It's great," Crabtree said. "We had high expectations . for this class. They were the second graduating class for the program." "Five of the students linished wHh perfect 4.0 grade point averages, and the entire class was very strong academically," Crabtree said: ''I'm very proud of the program, and I'm very proud of the faculty members who are involved with the program," Crabtree said.

Ohio, fo rmerl y of Meigs County; will observe their 40th wedding ann iversary at a celebration to be held on Ju ne 24,' 2006, at the Reynoldsburg Community of Christ hosted by iheir children, Monica and Matt Jordan . Friends and relati ves are invited to :tttend. but the famil y asks that gi fts be omi t!ed. ,, Th ere have bee n many times I have wished I could write a book of my own . When I read someone as good as Philip Roth,' I am in awe of his great talent. -I feel that anything I could possibly ·do would be poor and puny compared to his powerful and eloquent prose. I will put this guy right up there with Hemingway, . Fitzgerald and Faulkner. His writing is perhaps more like Faulkner, in that it is dense on the page. The paragraph s are long and the descriptions detailed. Roth's "American Pastoral" ranked high on the list of best novels .of the past 25 years in the recent New York Times survey. Roth himself was raised in Newark, N.J., so he tells us of his childhood and his neighborhood and how "Swede" Levov was his hero. He was a beautiful young man, a star athlete, one of those destined for a charmed and happy life. The narrator tells of meeting Swede (so called because of his blond h_air and blue eyes - unusual for a Jewish boy) again much later. Swede wants the narrator, who is the author N;tthan Zuckerman, a character in several of Roth's novels, to write his (ather 's' story. The father started a very successful glove factory in Newark, back when every woman had a collection of gloves for every occasion. Swede shows Zuckerman pictures of his wife (younger, apparently a second wife) and three sons, marvelous boys, according to their father. Zuckerman had been a classmate of Swede's little brother, Jerry, now a cynical and muchdivorced surgeon from Aorida. At the 45th class reunion, Zuckerman learns that Swede has died . He is shocked to learn that Swede married a former Miss New Jersey (she hated the title and ever after wanted to be known for other accomplishments) and had a daughter who blew up the post offi~e in their little Ne_w Jersey town. They had moved there to live "the good life" on the farin with cattle, and trees and thus "American Pastoral," which my dictionary defines as "an artistic work that portrays country life in an idealized way." .The daughter, Merry, was a stutterer, and she became a revolutionary and a protestor · against the Vietnain War in the troubled '60s. She brought the ultimate revolution home when the building exploded.

Why did she do it? Who is to blame? How did everything begin so right and go so very wrong? Hi s portrait of Newark 's decay is stark and disturbin ~. It had been a city with civtc pride and possibilities, now· deteriorating into a slum with the highest rate of auto theft in the country. Poverty and crime - they · go together like a horse and carriage. During the time I was reading this book, I entered into the lives of those people. Roth was born in 1933, so he is my contemporary. We share a common frame of reference. His way with words is masterful and takes you inside the characters, how they feel and how they think. Even Dr. Phil would have a hard time explaining why Swede's child when wrong. Why did she regard her parents' world so utterly as being empty'' Why was she so angry? This is not just a good book; it is a great book. Sometimes things need io be told as they are, not as we would like them to l;le, and Roth does that exceedingly well. The other Roth I read was "The Auman Stain," about a respected college professor and former college dean at a small Massachusetts college who makes a statement misunderstood to be racist. This brings down the wrath of the student body, the faculty and the administration on him. He is a widower who has begun an affair with a woman many . years 'his junior and much his social inferior - a cleaning woman at the college. She has a jealous and stalking ex-husband, so you know there is going to be trouble. · The professor himself is d~finitely NOT a racist. How can he be? He·has been hiding the deep secret that he .is himself a Negro. There is an amazingly touching scene in which the ambitious young Coleman Silk goes home to tell his widowed mother that he will never see her again, that from now on, he will have no past, no family, and he will "pass" as white. He married a Jewish woman, had four children, and lived in fear that somehow, someone would find out his true origins. Another excellent book about a complicated man and his complicated life. All of RG~th ' s books do not appeal to me, but these two are excellent.

Cancer Center Offers Best of Two Worlds: Big-City Medicine and Small-Town. Caring State-of-the-art cancer care, that once was the province of big hospitals in big cities, was introduced in southeastern Ohio when the Holzer Center for Cancer Care opened last year. In the cancer center, there are two major treatment areas - one for radiation therapy, the other for chemotherapy. Radiation treatment took a significant stride forward when the Holzer Center for Cancer Care became the third health care organization in the . nation to install a new type of linear accelerator that allows for complex treatment planning. It is comple-mented by a new 16-slice computerized . tomography (CT) machine and a battery of other complex instrumepts utilized in treatment planning and delivery of radiation. Providing radiation therapy for a patient with a specific tumor involves a highly skilled team of specialists - radiation oncologists, a dosimetrist, radiation technologists and a physicist. Each plays an important role in planning and providing treatment. The planning process alone for one patient may take days. The treatments for most patients are given on a daily basis five days a week for several weeks. Treatment modalities vary from patient·to patient, depending' on the type of cancer and its . stage of development. Two types of treatment offered are brachytherapy and IMRT (intensitymodulated radiation therapy). Both are being hailed as effective treatments, particularly for patients with some forms of prostate cancer. Goals of the radiation therapy team are to cure or shrin~ cancers foupd at an early stage, ·to · stop cancers from recurring, or to treat symptoms for advanced caner. The chemotherapy suite at the Holzer Center for Cancer Care houses' a semi-circle of comfortable reclim.1rs where patients sit while cancer-fighting drugs are released into their blood streams. Unfortunately, what most people know about chemotherapy - and what they fear- is that these potent medications can make you sick and make you lose your hair. · Indeed, there are many side-effects to chemothera. py, but improvements in recent years have reduced the intensity of nausea and v,omiting.

Men have a one in two lifetime risk of developing cancer, and one oui of three women wi II be diagnosed with cancer. About three-fourths of these cancers will be diagnosed after the age of 55 . Th~ four major cancers treated at the Holzer Center for Cancer Care ate lung, breast, prostate and colon. Two of these types - lung cimcer and colon cancer - are virtually preventable. Stopping the use of tobacco would eliminate most lung caners. Tobacco is also a factor in the development of colon and recllil cancers. Smokers are 30 to 40 ' percent more likely than nonsmokers to develop colorectal cancer.· if they are detected early. through tests such as sig' moidoscopies or colonoscopies. The colorectal cancer survival rates increased from 37 percent to 64 percent over the past .few decades. Beginning at age 50, men and women at an average risk for cqlon cancer should have a sigmoidoscopy or . colonoscopy. . ' Early detection is also the key to breast cancer survival, where tremendous strides have been made in recent years. According to the American Cancer Society, the earlier the cancer is · found , the better the survival rate; a five-year rei a- . tive survival rate for breast cancer determined at an early stage has risen to 98 percent. Prostate cancer survival rates also have climbed remarkably in recent years, according to cancer test for men is the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test. Men whoare 50 or older should tatk to their physicians about annual PSAs.

Plains farmers growing winter canola as wheat alternative BY ROXANA HEGEMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER KIOy.'A, Kan. - For generations of farmers, winter wheat has sustained the economy of this parched Kansas hamlet where few other crops thrive in the summer's searing heat. But the development of winter canota- planted in the faJI and harvested in spring like winter wheat offers a promising altemati ve crop for fields depleted by decades of monoculture farming. Farmers in the southern · Great Plains which includes Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas - planted an esti~ mated 60,000 acres of winter canola this year, said Michael Stamm, a canota breeder at Kansas State Urtiversity. That more than doubles the 25,000 acres planted in those states the season before. As many as I 00,000 acres of winter canota are projected to be planted this fall. "One of the biggest benefits is the benefit we get through crop rotation with monoculture wheat in the southern pan of the state," Stamm sa1d. "Producers face a lot of disease and weed pressure when they grow wheat year after year." Plans for a plant to process canota seed for oil are in the works in Kiowa. Kansas has a small bi<idiesel plant in Burden. Oklahoma earlier this year opened its own canola crushing plant in Okeene. At stake is much more than the crop's rotational benefits to farmers. Winter canola bred to survive harsh Midwest winters and harvested before the onset of its intense summer temperatures - promises an entirely new industry for Kansas and other Plains states. The 400,000-bushel-capaci- C L A S S I F 1· E D ty plant planned by OK Co-op Grain Co. in Kiowa would cntsh the tiny purple canola seeds to remove the oil, which can then be marketed as either cooking oil or used for making biodiesel. The meal left behind by the process also makes a high-protein livestock feed .

Then there are the collec- . tor's items that sell anywhere from $50 to a few thousand dollars, said Peter Cilio, vice president of product development for Campania International Inc., a manufacturer of garden ornaments and containers at Quakertown, Pa. "You can go so large that they're not considered containers anymore," Cilio said . "They're more like jars or fixtures and because of their size, they're often kept empty." Whatever the price, containers are not what they used to be, McCoy ·said. "Years ago, you had four choices: terra cotta, stone, iron and plastic that looked like plastic - and the colors were stone and terra cotta. "Today, containers come in every color of the rainbow · and with funky patterns and .high-fired glazes,'' she said. • "For many style-conscious gardeners, the container itself is the focal point around which the flowers and plants are selected to coordinate · with the color scheme of the container." The container look obviously hasn't gone unn'oticed. Retail sales for container gardening rose from $l.l96 billion in 2004 to $1 .29S billion in 2005, or an· increase of about 8 percent, the National Gardening Association said in a recent survey. The sale of products used for container gardening has been one of the fastest growing consumer lawn and ·garden 'c ategories . over · the past five years, the study said. Container gardens are growing so popular .that they're shaping landscaping ,trends all their own. One such trend is called "pot-scaping," McCoy sald. That's where containers are removed from decks and paiios where for years they had been lined up like troops in a parade. Pot-scapers now arrange them in clusters for greater impact.

See Page 81 BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICHiii'MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY ~ Two adults and a juvenile were apprehended and charged last week with stealing a 1995 Jeep Cherokee from the J.D. Auto Sales lot on East Main Street, going on a crime spree, and then burning the vehicle. Pomeroy Chief of Police Mark Proffitt said . that \:'incent C. DeMarco, 25, of Vancouver, Wash. and Jason W: Pierce, 18, ·of Pomeroy along with a juvenile, all admitted to their participation in stealing the vehicle and later burning it. . DeMarco and Pierce were arraigned before Judge Scott Powell in Meigs County Court. Pierce was released on his own recognizance, but a bond of $50,000 was set.for DeMarco at the request of an attorney from the Meigs County Prosecutor's Office. Proffitt said the attorney asked for the bond because he considered PeMarco a flight risk since he allegedly has a past criminal history and · also allegedly made threats against Pierce. As {)f late Friday DeMarco remained in the Meigs County jail. The juvenile is under the jurisdiction of the Meigs County Juvenile Court. Assisting in the investigation which continues are the Pomeroy Police, the Meigs County Sheriff's Department, Harry Barber, a State Fire M arsliall officer, and Paul Gerard, investigator with the prosecutors office. The vehicle was taken from the Story sales lot about S:30 a.m. on June 1, burned and recovered the same day on Story's Run in Gallia County. After stealing the Jeep, the trio. allegedly went on a crime spree, according to Proffitt, anempting break-ins at stores in Langsville and Salem Center. Book . value of the 1995 Jeep Cherokee, the police chief said, is $8.500. Proffitt again emphasized that crime will not be tolerated in Pomeroy and warned ,that the stiffest penalty possible will be sought for the perpetrators. Southern approves contracts with ..
