With so much on the line in Iraq and the Middle East, it angers me that the press and individual Americans cannot rise above their petty ideological hang-ups and work for success in Iraq. Is oemocracy not a . noble goal in that country? Do the d,1pey partisans not understand Iran is a deadly threat that will benefit greatly it' Iraq goes under? It is long past time to point fingers at those who are hurting .the United States. A hig digit goes to the Iraq; people, who are not making the sacrifices needed to defeat the forces of totalitarianism. And the second .finger of fate is pointed at the American media, which has allowed i'ts hatred of President Bush to distort it's objectivity. If you really want to study what has gone wrong in the quest to bring democracy to a vital, turbulent part of the world, let those two fingers point you in the right direction. ~0 YOU HAVE THE 6000 SiUFF;J.

Hoback All bets are cff As a parent, I believe it is my responsibility to help my son develop the skills he'll need to become a responsible and productive member of society. So I took him to the horse races. Specifically, I took him to Gulfstream Park, a very nice track in HaiiJndale. Aa., where you can bet on horses and feel comfortable wearing clothitJg styles dating back as far as 45 years. You remembe~ during the Disco Age, when men wore clingy pants in high!) unnatural colors and patterns. so that the wearer looked as though he had been wading naked to his waist in a massive toxic polyester spill, and it dried on his body? Those pants are still the height of style at the racetrack. We're talking about an older .crowd. including guys who. at some point in thCir betting careers, bet on a trifecta involving Spartacus. I enjoy the racetrack crowd: It's a more sociable group than you might think . I'm generally shy, but when I go to the track . I often find myself having conversation s with total strangers. I'll be standing idly near a bank of TV monitors showing ho,rses racing .- possibly at this track, possibly at some other track, possibly •in races that took place in 1973 - and a man standing next to me will suddenly yank his cigar out of hi> mouth , tum to me, and say: "Can you bel'ieve that''" "No 1" I'll say.

Then he' ll walk away, still talking, leaving behind no clues except a small puddle of cigar drool . 1 began the process of educating my son. Rob, by showing him how to pick a horse to bet on . The key is to have a system. I use what is known a' a "twostep" system. as follows (you might want to write this down): 1. I look at a li st of the various horse>. 2. I pick one. Using this sy stem, I selected a horse named "Yield To Maturity." which seemed appropriate, 'because it's something that people are always urging me to do. After I placed the bet. we went into the grand, tand to watch th e race. Tension mounted as post time drew near, and then the announcement came over the loudspeaker: 'They're off' " , "Co me on . Yield To Maturity '" 1 ,!Jouted . "Where are the horses'!" asked Roh. "I don 't. know," I had to admit. One of the problems with horse racing is that key pans of the race take . place several · miles away, so .that even if you can find the horses, they look like a herd of stampeding ·squirrels. I think the sport would be better if the horses stayed. directly in front of the grandstand. ,perhaps on a treadmill . · Eventually. the horses showed up, and although I specifically yelled at Yield To Maturify to win, he (or possibly . she) did not. What's worse, he (or possibly she) did not look the , least bit upset about losing. In fact, none of the horses '~emed to take the race seriously. Laughing and pooping. they trotted gaily off the track and he.aded for ·the horse locker room to can their brokers. They're all into conservative mutual funds . Next, I took Rob outside to show him how to "look over'' the horses that wpuld be running in the next race. ''What are we looking for?'' asked Rob. "Humps," I 5aid. A hump indicates to the shrewd bet-., tor that the horse is actual ly a camel, which mean s it will nm slower than the horse, . Or possibly faster: 1 never remember can which. At this point. Rob Liecided - and this is exactly the problem with young people today : they don 't want to learn anything - that he wa' going to ignore 1ily 'Y' tem and pick hi ' own horses by (Get this!) studying the racing fom1. I told him this was a waste of' time, because the so-called "racing form" in fact has nothing to do with racing: It\ a mea1is by which espionage agents. 'end ·each other messages in secret code . Here's an actual quote from the forn1 that Rob was studying: . "Magic Way has the highest Beyer in the field, which is a nice sta11ing point at tlw maiden level." Ri ght' And the Presbyterian mollusk wears linen jod~purs! While Rob was frittering away his time trying to decipher gibberish, I implemented another proven wagering system, known as the "bet on most of the horses in the race system." Perhaps you think that it is impossible to bet on six horses in an eighthorse race and still not win any 'money. Perhaps you are an idiot . I will not beat around the bush. When the day was over. I had picked no winnin g horses, no placing horse~ and no showing horse;,. I had picked horses that. if you were to cui them open - and don't let me stand in your way - would have turned out to be powered by pairs of seriously nbese men walking backward. Rob had picked three winning ltor,es and ended up making · money. He thinks thi> could be a good career path. He does seem to ha\'e a knack for it.

MASON, W.Va: - Slow stans have been a problem for the Wahama girls basket· ball team so far this seasonjust not on Friday. Wahama (I "2) jumped out to a 27-9 lead after one quarter of play and the Lady Falcons had a chance to protect a lead for the first time this season and they made the best of it, putting up their highest point total of the season in a dominating 70-43 win over Poca (0-2) Friday night in Mason. The Lady Falcons' 18 point first quarrer lead was a big improvement for the very young team who has started the season with · numerous turnovers and poor shooting contributing to two early season losses. But the experi- ence of playing in their third game in four days may have helped contribute to the hot first quarter and remainder of the game. Wahama followed the fu-st eight minutes with a 18-6 edge in the second to take a dominating 45-15 lead into · the half_ From there. the Red and White kept up the pressure with a full court man-toman and coasted from then on.

Hunters have extra weekend with a gun COLUMBUS - Ohio's populat" deer-gun season will run an additional weekend this year, Saturday and Sunday, December 16-17. according to the Ohio Department • nf Natural Re;ources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The days were added in response to the comments received from )lunters for more weekend time to hunt. They also represent another oppommity for new hu.nters taking advantage of Ohio's apprentice license program. Appremice hunting licenses ~llow new hunters, both adults and youth. to sample the experience of hunting under the menton;hip of a licensed adult, prior to completing a hunter education course. The apprentice hunting· license was developed as part of a nationwide effort called "Families Afield." designed to remove barriers that prevent hunters from passing along the hunting heritage. "These two additiomll weekend days will allow people more time to enjoy hunting with the added benefit of harvesting more deer," said Steven A Gray, chief of the Division of Wildlife. "The archery season for deer is also longer tl1is year. due to days being added to the truditional beginning and ending dates of the season." So far this season, archery hunters have taken 45.733 deer during the first six weeks of the statewide archery seru;on, which began September 30 and continues through February 4. TI1e special youth season, held November 18-19, resulted in young hunters bagging 8,811 deer.

Enrico Simon, a family practitioner, at the Pleasant Valley Medical Office Center to gain firsthand experience in a rural clinical setting. This is the result of a collaborative effort bet ween Pleasant Valley Hospital . and the West Virginia Rural Health Education Partnership (WVRHEP). The mission of the West Virginia . Rural Health Education Partnership is to achieve greater retention of West Virginia-trained health science graduates in underserved rural West Virginia communities by creating partnerships of community, higher education, health care providers and governmental bodies. WVRHEP grew from the integration of two programs, the Kellogg Community Partnerships Initiative and the West Virginia ·Rural Health Initiative (RHl). · . The partnership between West VIrginia and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation is cultivating an environment sup~orti ve of long range, creative strategies to address the problem of critically limited primary health care in rural and medically underserved areas of the state. The Rural Health Education Program is a nationwide program for students. It offers a one-month clinical rotation exrerience in a rural area workmg with · a health professional. The program is open to any student in the medical field, including future physicians, nurses, nurse practioners, and therapists. The · students must also participate in community service as a requirement of the program. . ''This partnership is beneficial to the future of the local hospitals and the community because it exposes students to an underserved area in need of more health professionals," said Simon, clinical director of the program. "Our desire is to expose . our students to the medical needs of this area and show them the difference they can make in a rural environ- . : .• : I .

Beekeepers in California's Central Valley resist efforts to keep their insects from seedless citrus BY JACOB ADELMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER VISALIA, Calif. - In this patchwork of fruit and nut fields in California's citrus belt; honey and oranges don't mix anymore . . Growers of clementine s and other seedless oranges gaining popularity among consumers say cross-pollination by bees is creating unwanted seeds in their crops. They want to establi sh no-fly zones ro end the ap1an mvas1ons. But beekeepers aren · t buzzing off. For decades, their bees were tolerated in the sprawling · orchards as they turned orange blossom nectar into dependable honey crops. The beekeepers fear no-fly zones - established by keeping hives miles from orchards - could put them out of business. "Half of my honey income is what I make in the oranges," David Bradshaw, 50, said at the honey-processing operation started by his father, Howard Bradshaw. in the early 1970s. A couple miles away are newly planted . clementine orchards. The conflict · comes as growers try to cash in on the growing national hunger for the convenience of seedless produce, and beekeepers struggle to recover from years of erratic production PageD2 caused by bad weather and mite-infested hives. Watching nervously from the sidelines are growers of other crops who need heal thy bees to pollinate their plants. . On Dec. 12, Central Valley beekeepers will meet with the trade group California Citrus Mutual to hear the organization's proposal for bee-free areas. "I son of dread the conflict between the beekeepers and citrus growers," Tu Iare County Agriculture Commissioner Gary. Kunkel said. "You get strong feelings on both sides." During most years, California competes . with North Dakota. to .lead the nation in honey prpduction. But the industry in general is having trouble keeping up with national honey consumption, which jumped an estimated · I0 percent between 2000 and 2005. Domestic production, however, dipped to about 175 million pounds in 2005 from 220 million pounds in 2000, according to the U.S, Department of Agriculture . Yields in 2006 were expected to be even lower. ·National Honey Board chief executive Bruce Boynton said hives have suffered in recent years as dry weather ·kept !lowers from blooming and outbreaks of parasitic mites infested bee larvae. Losing access to orange groves would decrease honey yields even funher and weaken bee colonies · needed for J?<?llinating other crops, he satd. "People are kind of watching this one because it could have a devastating effect across the country if beekeepers Jose out on this issue," Boynton said. But major corporate growers such as Paramount Citrus Inc. and Sun Pacific Inc. have invested heavily in. clementine and mandarin trees to meet demand for the easy-to-peel fruit that doesn't produce mouthfuls of seeds. In · 2005 , about 18,500 acres in California were planted with the seedless varieties, up from about 7,000 acres three years earlier, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "The consumers have said, just like you have seedless watermelons and seedless grapes, they want seedless clementines, and we 're b)'· ing to settle that demand," California Citrus Mutual president Joel Nelson said. However, effons to meet the demand "are being thwarted by members of the bee indusb)'," he said. The association wants beekeepers to keep insects away from protected areas during times when the crops are at risk of being crosspollinated. 4-H gift LivESTOCK·REPORT certificates available Sunday, December 10, 2006 Middleport o Gallipolis, OH • Pt.
