Jesse Howard has been selected 2006 Trooper of the Year at the G-M Post. The .selection of Howard, 37, is in recognition of outstanding service during 2006. Fellow officers stationed at Gallipolis chose Howard based on leadership abilities, · professional ethics, courteous treatment of others, enthusi· astic work attitude and cooperation with .supervisors, peers and the public.

Howard joined the patrol in 2000 as a member of the !35th Academy Class and has served his entire care.er at the Athens and Gallipolis posts. REEDSVILLE Although the Ohio Department . of Transportation (ODOT) had anticipated temporarily closing Ohio 124 near the Meigs!Athc;ns county line this month for slip repairs, that project will now likely be sold in February 2007 with construction following later that year. The change is due in part to coordination between other nearby ODOT construction projects to keep roads open to traffic, avoid· ing multiple closures· and re-evaluating the project's design, which may save money with an "equally effective" alternative . The section of . 124 in Olive Township was tern· porarily closed in January 2005 following flooding and sunken barges at the Belleville Locks and Dam which closed the locks. Sections of 124 in Meigs ,, ' County and Ohio 144 in Athens County suffered subsequent .flood damage and area slips. The Meigs section of road reopened later that spring after · ODOT made temporary repairs' until a permanent fix could be made. The · repairs in Olive Township are tied to the ' Hockingport area slip repair project that includes upgrading county rol!ds 59 and 62 in· Athens County. This recent · upgrading resulted in the transformation of CR 59 into the new· Ohio 144, bypassing the worst part of the slip in that area. Finishing )Vork on CR 59 and the work on CR 62 (Youba Ridge) will begin next spring. "In order to best serve the residents of the area, ODOT needs to have the new Ohio 144 open to allow unrestricted access for motorists, emergency personnel and school transportation," said PIHH see Repelr.

Lovelle Scott, a young mother with two children, needed hers to apply for government help. Dennis Anderson, an out-ofwork truck driver, needed his to find a job. In America, your birth certi fi cate is the footing on whicli your identification is built. Yet, for decades, getting a copy has required ·a weeks-long wait for the · mail or a personal visit to the vital statistics office, as was the case recently for May, Scott and Anderson . That may soon change, as vital statistics offices around the country try to automate the centuries-old practice of keeping birth records. The shorter wait likely will mean a higher cost to consumer,.

Only about half the states have been able to afford it, most through fee increases like Ohio's, Land said. Land said with states moving at a different pace in transitioning records, America could spend the next decade without comparable vital statistics from the states. Centers for Disease Control spokesman Bill Crews said such statistics provide important insights for federal policymakers. "Just like the Census, it really undergirds our entire political system," he said. For instance, death statistics play a role in rates charged for life insurance, and statistics gathered on birth certifi, cates, such as the average mother's age, can affect government budget decisions on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. In Ohio and numerous other states, some of the money for .the conversion project is also coming from the Social Security Administration, which is particularly eager to see state death records filed electronically so it can eli me inate delays in cutting off Social Security benefits after a death .

Just days after the vote, the San Francisco Board of Education voted to ban Junior .ROTC in the city's high schools, tossing · more than I ,600 students out of those clubs: The Massachusetts legislature refused to allow a vote on gay marriage, even though more ·than 170,000 Bay State voters signed a petition demanding to be heard on the . subject, and a Vermont press group hon- . ored Judge Edward Cashman, the guy who sentenced a brutal child molester to 60 days in jail. Don't kid yourself; while the majority of Democrats are moderate, there is a fanatical subdivision of the party that is off-the-wall secular-progressive (S-P) and bent on · radically changing America. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom told the press he . was glad the Board of Education waited until after the election because "cheap-shot artists like O'Reilly and Bill O'Reilly Fox would have exploited (the vote)." Not exploited, mayor, reported. I coined the term "San Francisco values" and well understand they have little to do with democracy. How nutty is the San Francisco Board of Ed'! We're fighting a lethal worldwide terror movement and these people are , telling high school students the U.S. military is bad, that's how nutty. By the way, the ACLU is MIA in the JROTC controversy. Can you imagine what would have happened if the Board of Ed had banned a . gay high school club? S.F. values strike again. in The far-left Massachusetts is alm.ost as bad. Gay marriage was imposed 10 the Commonwealth by three judges who found a loophole in the state Constitution. Marriage was not expressly defined as between a man and a woman. Presto. traditional . marriall'e has company. But my question is this: If marriage is a Constitutional right, which it is not, why can't polygamists get legal? How about triads? Why can't you marry your mom' If one · alternative lifestyle, homosexuality, is granted license to marry, you have t9 include other alternative lifestyles as well. That's equal protection under the law, is it not? But the secular-progressive movement doesn't care about the Constitution. It wants a brand new America where the· people don't call the shots - the "enlightened'' minority sets the agenda . So get ready for more of this kind of thing. The state of Vermont has already left the building. It elected Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist, as junior Senator. Compared to Sanders, Patrick Leahy,_the Robert E. Bums other Vermont Senator, is Dick Cheney. By the way, in case you went to public school, a socialist is someone who believes the government has a right to seize private property and do whatever it wants with it. Apparently, Vermonters are down with that, as well as with judges who give child predators the same amount of jail time as bar brawlers. This is the tirst secular-progres· si ve state to drop all pretense and declare itself Havana-friendly. Wait, that might not be fair. Even Fidel harshl y punishes child ~api sts . If you think I'm exaggerating, you're wrong. The far-left feels liberated, and ' it sees ' daylight. Expect these people to make a strong power run, led by . ·S-P mom Nancy Pelosi, the new Speaker 9f the House. Let's recap: No tolerance for the military, no voting on controversial issues. and let's ease up on those adults sexually brutalizing children. Welcome to the land of the secular-progressive.

That's why the American Turkey and Giblet Council recommends that, to insure proper preparation, yo\1 cook your turkey in a heated oven for at least two full · quarters of the VikingsLions game, then give a piece to your dog and observe it Closely for symptoms such as vomiting, running for president, etc. Some day, perhaps, we won't have to take ·these precautions, not if the U.S. government approves a radical new concept in poultry safety being proposed by a company in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. ,! am not making up Rancho Cucamonga: It's· a real place whose odd-sounding name, if you look it up in yol!r Spanish-English dietionary, turns out to mean "Cucamonga Ranch." I am also not making up the poultry-safety advance, which was discussed in a Iengthy news story by Randy! Drummer in a recent issue of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, sent in by many alert readers. Before I quote from this story, I need to issue a: I frankly find it hard to Dave B arry Warning to tasteful readers You should not - I repeat, not -read the rest of this column if you are likely to be in . any way offended by the term "turkey rectums." The story appears on The Daily Bulletin's business page, under the headline, Pacer Backing New Use for Glue. It begins, I swear, as follows: "RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Jim Munn hopes that the government and the poultry industry will get behind his process for ~luing chicken and turkey rectums." Jim Munn, the story explains, is the president of a company called Pacer Technology. which makes Super . Glue. Munn, the story stales, believes thai meat contamination can be reduced by "gluing shut the rectal cavi ties of turkeys and chicken . broilers." (Needless to say, thi s would be done after the chickens and turkeys have gone to that Big Barnyard in The Sky; otherwise everybody involved would -have to be paid a ridiculous amount of money.) The story states that "Munn became intrigued by a poultry rectal glue product after a federal inspector contacted him and said he had used Super Glue on a turkey. " believe that a federal employee would admit such a thing. after what happened to Bob Packwood, but Jim· Munn thought it was a terrific concept. He plans' to market the ·product under the name -get ready'- "Re,ctite." "Poultry officials applaud the idea," states the story. , I do, too. I am all for gluing turkeys shut; in fact , I think they should be glued shut permanently, because, as a consumer, I do not wish to come into contact with those .gross organs. necks, glands, etc. that come packed inside them . There are few scarier expe~ riences in life than having to put your unarmed hand inside the cold, clammy recesses of a darkened turkey and pull · those things out, never knowing w.hen one of them will suddenly come to life like the creature in the movie "A lien ," leap off your kitchen counter and skitter around snacki ng on household residents. · So I urge you to telephone your congressperson immediately and state your position on this issue clearly and forcefully, as foilo¥'s: "I favor · gluing turkey rectums'" And while you have your congressperson on the line, you might want to point out that The Walt Disney Co. is secretly using cartoon · movies to promote sex.. Yes. I have here a document from an organization called the American Life League, entitled "Offi'cial Statement on Disney 's Perverted Animation." The document · states that Di sney h'as been putting smut into its cartoon movies, and cites the following examples, which I am still not making up: • In "Aladdin ' " "when . Prince Ababwa calls on Princess Jasmine on her balcony. a voice whispers, 'Good teenagers, take off your clothes. "'The document further asserts that in the same movie, Abu the monkey says a bad word. • In "The Little · . Mermaid," the officiator in the wedding scene "is obviously sexually aroused." Not only that, but "the box cover of 'The Little Mermaid' contains a phallic symbol in the center .of the royal castle." • In "The Lion King," whe.n Simba plops down, 'The cloud of dust that he stirs up, to the upper left of his head, forms the letters S-E-X" (which, if you remove the hyphens, spells "sex."). None of this surprises me. I have been suspicious of the Disney people ever since it was first pointed •out to me, years ago, that Donald Duck does not wear _pants. There is way more of thi s perversion going on than we ani aware of, and it is not limited to Disney. Look at. the shape of the Life Savers package! Are we supposed to believe that 's coincidence? · No, this kind of thing is everywhere. and today 1 am calling on you readers, as concerned indi victuals with a lot of spare time. to look for instan~e' of hidden perver,ion in commercial products, then repon them to me. . Working together. we will get to the bonom of this. And then we will glue it shut. &unba!' tl:imes -&entind • Page As Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Nina J.

Nan McEvoy stands on a balcony outside her home at the McEvoy Ranch in Petaluma, Calif., Monday, Oct. 6.

Seated at a small table, li.stening to her grandson's high school classmates on stage, Nan Tucker McEvoy . looks more like a proud matriarch than a groundbreaking agricultural entrepreneur. But it's McEvoy's olives, not the jazz, that drew nearly 600 friends' and visitors to her annual harvest party last weekend at McEvoy Ranch - 550 acres of rolling hills covered with neat rows of mint-colored olive trees. ·The annual bash - featuring music, wine and a sitdown dinner of organic, locally produced delicacies - is McEvoy's way of showing the neighbors what's going on at the ranch. She enjoys sharing "the beauty of the place and the pleasure we can bring with the olive oil,'' said McEvoy, a plainspoken and do.wn-to-earth 87-year-old. But McEvoy's roots are far from humble. Her grandfather, Michel H. de Young, founded the San Francisco · Chronicle. McEvoy herself served as chairman of the newspaper 's board until she was ousted in I995 over a County OH disagreement about whether to sell the Chronicle to Hearst Corp. She also was an early member of the Peace Corps, serving as special assistant to Sargent Shriver, brother-i n-law of former President John F. Kennedy. She married Dennis McEvoy, a senior editor at Reader's Digest, in 1948 and the couple had a son before divorcing. ·In 1991, she bought the former cattle ranch - sight unseen - to give her three grandchildren "a place where they can run free," she explained. · The property just west of Petaluma is an Eden of duck ponds and flower gardens. The land was zoned for ag ricultural use, but .McEvoy didn't want livestock or fruit orchards. So she settled on olives. On trips to Italy, she 'd fallen in love with the olives and thought the trees were pretty. When county agriculture officials told McEvoy they didn't grow well here. it only strengthened her resolve to make it work. They 've since apologized. "I didn't know anything about olives or making olive oil," a laughing McEvoy said in· an interview in her kitchen ' a few days before E-mail classified@ mydailytribune.com R AD /)eo.rltir~ .• Monday thru Friday :30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. *POLICIES'* r ANNouNcEMFN1s I ptapley Ads Dally In-Column: 1 :00 p.m. Monday-FridaY for ln•ertlon In Next Day•• Paper All Dl•play: l::Z Noon 2 eueln- D•v• Prior To Publication Sunday tn..Column: 1:00 p.m. frh~av For Sundaya Paper Sunday Dl•play : 1:00 Thur'llday ror Sunday• H.uWANnD __ GIWA"\\Y FOUND: Female Siamese 100WORKERS NEEDED I ~=~=~==~ r 105 Growl Will 108 SdM bnllctt 107 CNol 109 Do. farm jab 111 Cilllm A ALTCDON AND 0 -------Snow white 4 month old k.itten, female, litter trained, short halred.

Her son, Nion , who runs Chronicle Books, encouraged her to read "Feast of the Olive," by Maggie Klein, which featured an Italian olive oil expert named Maurizio Castelli. McEvoy flew to Radda, a small village in Chianti, to meet Castelli personally. She brought along soil sam-' pies, weather data and .asked him whether she could grow olives in north- . ern Marin County. "I said, ' In my opinion, yes, you can plant olives,"' said Castelli, who attended the harve;t party. Castelli selected the first I ,000 trees - five Tuscan varieties - and traveled to California to plant them for McEvoy, "Mercifully, he turned out to be correct,'' McEvoy said .
