'214.21 Sunday, December 24, 2006 READERS' VIEWS Service? lHar Editor: I recently had a very disappointing experience with our county sheriff's department that I would like to relate to other counry residents. As many Gallia County residents do, we decorated our home for the Christmas holiday. On Sunday, Dec. 10, my · husband and I awoke to find that ·thieves had stolen our 6-foot inflatable snow globe that we had put up in the front of our home ... only steps from our front porch. I called the sheriff's office to report the theft. The dispatcher took all of our information, and I was told that a deputy would either stop by or call me back to get the report. A deputy did call me back a short time later. However, he seemed to just minimize my reporting of the theft. He told me that even if they could find the missing snow globe, there wasn't any way I could identify it. He continued to tell me that "kids probably took it home to give to their mommy for Christmas." It was like I was wasting his time by even reporting the Ms. Hoover in her statement makes the most solid argument for fewer gun laws. She is to have said that those who live in rural communities of Ohio have fewer murders, and · gun-rclated crime because they have hunted and used guns all their lives. It follows then that the primary reason there is less crime in the rural areas is the residents are free to own and keep guns in their household, where those honest and law-abiding citizens who live in the urban areas are not likely armed due to restrictive gun laws passed by those cities. It logically follows that.if you have a citizenry that is potentially .trained in the safe use of firearms, and is ready to defend themselves and their families, you will less crime. have Conversely, · in those areas with restrictive gun laws criminals are less intimidated, and more likely to attack a . potentially unarmed person . This law restricting cities from passing their restrictive .and poorly thought-out laws wi II make for a safer state in which we live. Delmar G.

Seven former employees plan to tell the story of the old reform school, which operated ·rrom !858 to · 1979, through a museum in the old superintendent's mansion. "This institution has a lot of history and we would like to preserve that," said Jerry Eaton, a former security supervisor at the school.

All five played in the AA U national championship game over the summer in Orlan(lo, Fla. "A lot of people are probably worried about maybe not having enough balls to go around," Mayo said.

His addition has prompted both Huntington and opponents to move his games to bigger arenas. "It's not pressure," Mayo said. "I' ve been leading probably since the fifth grade. I'm the oldest out of .six other siblings. I have a single-parent mom. So that right there has taught me how to lead." That, says Leitao, Is as impressive as Mayo's physical gift>. "He's been talked about and written about since the sixth and seventh grade," he said. ··so I' m just as impressed with his demeanor at a young age to handle all of the publicity locally and nationally that he's gotten over the course of his high school career and still maintain his sense of humility and a sense of, childhood."

And Huntmgton's top six could receive Division I scholarships by next fall. "Most of your teams that are ranked in the top I0 in the nation, they're not all from that same ·town," said Huntington coach Lloyd McGuffin. "Our guys are all from the same town.

But the Broncos coach probably would've stayed even if the roads weren't lined with abandoned cars. He wanted a little extra time to go over game planning with coaches who also spent the night at Broncos headquarters, and look at even more film of the Cincinnati Bengals. It's playoff time - a little . early. Either Denver or Cincinnati could be all but eliminated from the AFC playoff picture with a loss Sunday. Both teams are 8-6 and currently occupy the two wild-card spots. The loser, though, would need a lot of help with one game left to get in. "It's a playoff-type atmosphere," Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh said. "The game is going to be hard-fought because they're in the same position we're i~t. It's not going to be a cakewalk." : Nothing has been easy for the ·Bengals this season.

It's a point the Broncos are well aware ·of. Even a little touchy about. "There's no such thing as home-field advantage," said linebacker AI Wilson, whose team will also host San Francisco in the final week of the season. "You hear the fans, but you still have to play. I never believed in that home-field advantage. I think the team that prepares the best and the team that executes is ~oing to win regardless if u's at home or not." CinNnnati had a chance to separate itself from · the wild-card field' Monday. to night, but lost Indianapolis. Palmer also hurt his shoulder in the game, and he's listed as probable for Sunday. "We're at the point where we're right on the line between going to the playoffs or going home/' said Palmer, whose team is a win away from their first back-to-back winning seasons since 1981 (12-4) and 1982 (7-2). "I don't know all the possibilities, but my gut feeling is we have to win our last two games." The Broncos felt like they had to win their last three to have any sort of shot. That's why the players were in a jovial mood in the locker room this week, having beaten Arizona 37-20 last Sunday to snap a fourgame losing streak. "I think everybody's hack to where they were when we were winning football games," rookie quarterback Jay Cutler said. Not only that , but Cutler's confidence is soaring. He threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns againsl the Cardinals. His 54-yard touchdown strike to Javon Walker on his first pass of the game showed why the Broncos drafted him with the 11th pick last April and then stripped the starting job from Jake Plummer following Denver's loss to Kansas City on · Thanksgiving Night. "I was just a lot more patient," Cutler said. · "I wasn't forcing some balls. I was taking what they were giving me." Cincinnati could give Denver lots of problems with its offense. Casually mention the Bengals' star power and Wilson winces. With Palmer, running back Rudi Johnson and wideouts 'Chad Johnson and Houshmandzadeh , the Bengals are tough to scheme against. They're ranked seventh in the league in Iota! yards (309.9). "Pick your poison, man," Wilson said. "They keep you honest as a defense." Denver's defense is one of the best in the league, allowing 18 .3 points a game. However, when the Broncos encountered Indy's explosive offense, they gave ·up 437 yards. They also surrendered 75 I yards and 83 points in two· games against San Diego. The Bengals still have a healthy respect for Denver 's defense, which had three playe,rs Wilson, Champ Bailey and John Lynch - voted to the Pro Bowl. "They're · good," said Johnson, who, along with Palmer and tackle Willie Anderson made the Pro Bowl roster. "They're not · going to beat themselves." While Denver and Cincy were early-season favorites to make the playoffs, the loser may be missing out on the postseason fun . "Nobody said it' was going to be easy," Walker said. "We feel comfortable that we can go in and beat this team and hopefully put ourselves in a good position for a postseason run."

Under state law, a rape charge requires vaginal intercourse, while se~ual offense covers any se~ua l act.' In dropping the rape charges, Nifong did not specify what sex acts prosecutors now believe happened. "It's hard to figure out what's going on down there," said Finnerty's father, Kevin, outside his home in Garden .City, N.Y. "It's hard to figure out how this D.A. is playing this. It's pretty obvious to us lhat from the outset this man has been using this case for his own personal and political gain." . The defense has complained that the accuser has given authorities at leasl a dozen different versions of her slory. Among other things, she has given conflicting accounts· of the number of attackers - anywhere from three to 20 - and the ways . in which she was supposedly assaulted. At least one time after the party. she told police she had not been assaulted. Last week. it was learned that a private DNA laboratory, in concert with Nifong. initially withheld from the defense test results that found genetic material from. several men on the stri pper '~ underwear and body, but thai none of it came from the players.

She was 8 years old. They had no way of knowing Callie, now 14, would hit the ground running and never look back. Recently named 2006 Junior Rider of the Year in the Preliminary Division by the American Eventing Association, Callie and her Irish Sporting horse, Kilkenny Castle, compete year round in Eventing competitions both io the Midwest and in Florida. . · Their highlights include competing with the gold medal winning team at the North Amerkan Young Riders Championships in Virginia (an international cOmJ?etition considered the junior olymp1cs of the sport), fir~t place in the Preliminary division of the Area IV (Midwest region) Eventing Championships in Olathe, Kan., and first place in the junior division of the American Eventing Championships in North Carolina. Driven is an understatement in describing Callie, whose five-year plan ends with a trip to the Olympics lR 2012. By then she will have been competing for l 0 years; training under Olympic bronze medalist, Darren Ch1acchia. Homesc.hooled to allow for her busy training schedule, Callie trains five months out of the year with Chiacchia in Florida, then returns home to Missouri for the remainder of ihe year, where she continues her training and travels to various competitions. • Termed an "equestrian triathlon," -eveni"ing of the three international .equestrian sports represented in the Olympics. There are three phases to eventhig: dressage, .endurance (crosscountry) and show jumping. According to the United States Eventing Association Inc. (USEA) website, the most recognized phase of eventing today is the endurance phase, where horse and rider race over an outside course of solid obstacles. The endurance event includes four phases: roads, tracks, the steeplechase and the cross-country. It is the only high-risk Olympic sport that permits men and women to compete as equals. The dressage event measures the training and fluidity of rider and horse through a set of complicated movements which show off the horse's precision, smoothness, supp!eness and complete obedience. According to the USEA, dressage is important to the three-day event in that it conditions the horse and demonstrates the control and training of !>oth horse and rider. In the final event, show jumping. horse and rider soar across an obstac!e course of colored fences to test the sta- · mina and recovery of the horse in the wake of the endurance phase. "The test on the third day is not an \)rdinary show jumping competition. Its . sole object is to demonstrate that, on the day after a severe test of endurance, is one T·~IIIIIIS£111 1-~ ....... ...............

RIO GRANDE - The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College will open another Smart Classroom facility for its students, faculty and staff in January. Rio Grande already has a few Sm;ut Classrooms on campus, and the newest is in Wood HalL Dr. Barbara Hatfield, interim provost/vice president for academic affairs, said that the new facility will be important for Rio Grande students, and will help them learn. The Smart Classroom was built in the area on the first floor of Wood Hall that formerly housed the Learning Center. That center was moved over the Jenkins Center for Student Success in the Rhodes Student Center, and the programs it offered were expanded. A Smart Classroom is a room specially fitted with technology that assists with teaching. For example, professors can use the comput.er on the main podium to . access the students' computer monitors in the room. The professors then can control what happens on the computer momtors in the room in order to assist with teaching, or they can ·check in on what the students are doing on each computer. The classroom is also set up so that the work on one student's computer -can be displayed so that all of the students can see it. The Smart Classroom also has special video equipment for presentations and a wide array of programs and technology ·that can help the students learn. ''This is something that we have been anticipating to have open," said Dr. Barry Thompson, interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Science. The faculty members in the English, writing, communication and other class- es have been anxious to use the Smart Classroom technology, he said. "It's just excellent in terms of having a facility like this," Thompson said. The new technology is vital to Rio Grande in order to keep the institutiQn on the cutting ed~e of educational programmmg. "All of the professors are excited about 11, and they're competing with each other to get into the new. room," he added. Classes will be taught for the full semester in the Smart Classroom, and some special workshops and sesstons may also be held in the facility. "With all of the electronic · and computer technology, you absolutely have to have a Smart Classroom like this," Thompson said. Technology experts at Rio Grande have been preparing the facility for students, and Thompson said the students will like it. · "I cah see the· professors' enthusiasm. They are excited about teaching in that space," Thompson said. "I think that will bubble over to the students." Students need to be excited in order to learn, and the new Smart Classroom will gen.erate enthusiasm from the students. The classroom will also . help the students learn more about new technology that they may be using m the workplace, he said. "It enables people to communicate with each other with the latest tools," Thompson said. · Students in all grade levels at Rio Grande will use the Smart Classroom, and Thompson is happy to have it opening in January so it can belp students learn. .

Get active. Not just physically active; but intellectually and socially active, too. You, II feel better, improve your health and attitude, and keep your brain working. That'll make you happy! 1. Invest in a good pair pf shoes. When your feet are happy, so are you. Foot pain is ·not a normal part of the aging process, points out the . American Podiatric Medical Association. If you have pain in your feet, see a podiatrist (foot doctor), a visit that is likely covered in part by health insurance. Comfortaole, well-fitting shoes are a must and worth the investment. ·(Learn about aging feet at http://www.i.c aa.cc/foot· care.htm.) 2. Play games. Games keep your brain working and cognitive skills healthy. Plus, it's a fun way to spend time with others. Trivia, math, memory, acting there is a game for most personalities: You can be competitive or challenge yourself. Traditional board games (chess or Monopoly), crossword puzzles, anagrams. Sudoko puzzles and optical illusions can be played at different skill levels. There are many free .games on the Internet, along with sources for those you can purchase. Enter the words "mind games," "puz. zles" or "brain teasers" into your computer's search engine for hundreds of options. · 3. Take a walk or stroll. Walk around the block, walk to the store, walk a mile. Walking improves lower body strength, maintains mobility .and helps prevent cognitive decline. Research studies have shown that two short walks a day can be as good as a single, longer stroll. Need a personal coach? Get a dog and walk it at least twice a day. Besides getting you out of the house, dogs are loving companions. Once you are walking well, increase your speed and distance. 4. Stand on one leg. Actually, you will wprk up to standing on one leg by performing balance exercises. Good balance helps you with everyday activities, like reaching into a cup-. ° B ky N:biH · board, and avoiding falls. When you have confidence in your balance ski lis, you also have confidence to walk outside, wash the car and visit a museum. Many exercise classes designed · for· older adults incorporate balance training (which helps to reduce the fear of falling). s. Visit an eye doctor. Failing eyesight is not a given as we age. A recent study reported that almost all the vision impairment in a large group of people over 60 years old could be improved with corrective lenses. Age-related macular degeneration is the most common vision Joss as we get older, but studies have shown that people who smoke cigarettes and are obese are the most likely to get it. (Of course, there are many health benefits once you quit smoking and Jose weight). An optometrist help you determine the best plan for your eyes. 6. Increase your physical activity. Physical activity and exercise have a lot of benefits, not only for physical health, but also for mainiaining cognitive skills and reducing the risk of dementia. Use it or lose it. Since most people already know this, the question becomes, "How do I get started?" First, remember that physical activity means housework and yard work · (put some effort into it}, walking to the store· and playing ball with the neighbor kids. Second, make opportunities for . activity, like a weekly walking date with a neighbor or friend. Join a wellness, center. community center or a health club that has equipment and ·programs geared to · your interests. 7. Seek out your friends, family and neighbors. Social connections are good for your. emotional wellbeing.

(Fmd out how to add fruits and vegetables to your diet by visiting "5 A Day" at http://www.5aday.gov/.) . 9. Laugh a lot. Laughing ~ncreases circulation, tmmune system defenses and mental functioning while decreasing stress hormones. Watch comedies or read a humor book and the comics. Not finding these funny? Then try an exercise recommended by the World Laugher Tour (www.worldlaughtertour.com.) Take a deep breath, and then exhale with a big ' sigh ("Haaaaaa."). Put your hands · at your cheekbones and "hee hee hee bee hee," move your hands over your heart and "ha ha ha ha ha," then place hands on your belly for a "ho ho ho ho ho." .Now you're warmed up and ready for spontaneous laughter.

Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure announces western route COLUMBUS The Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure (GOBA) will visit western Ohio in 2007, bringing an expected 3,000 riders to the region. GOBA will be held June 16 through .June 23, with riders covering an average of 50 miles per day along the route. Riders will gather at the Mercer County Fairgrounds in Celina on June 16. They will begin the tour June 17 and will stay overnight in Celina, Van · Wert, Wapakoneta, Troy and Versailles before returning on June 23. With two layover days which include optional loops of 50 or I 00 miles, GOBA participants are expected to travel 265 to 425 miles during the event. Owned and operated by Columbus Outdoor Pursuits and sponsored by Bob Evans Restaurants, GOBA will mark its 19th year with the 2007 ride. With more than one third of the participants riding as part ,. of a family group, GOBA has become the largest family-oriented bicycle tour in the world. Some of the many attractions featured on this tour include Grand Lake Si. Marys; world-class bike trails; Wassenberg Art Center; the Van Wert Historical Society; Central Fire Museum; Delphos Canal Museum; Miami-Erie Canal; Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum; Indian Lake State Park; Bicycle Museum of America; Lockington Locks; Johnston Historie Farm; Greenville's Garst Museum; and other historic sites, covered bridges and nature areas. The week will include the traditional bicycle parade and the gala opening ceremonies in Celina, familyoriented entertainment each night, options for a boat excursion or a trip to Dayton's .Carillon Park and the National Air Force Museum, watching professional bike races and the ever-popular GOBA Song Contest. "The people of the host towns of GOBA 2007 are eagerly awaiting the riders' arrivai. ,Many of them have had the GOBA eJCperience in previous years and enjoyed showing the besr their towns have. to offer. And the ter:rai n in westernOhio is equally hospitable, making this event a real draw for families wanting a great vacation ·together," Van Winkle said. This will be the 19th year · for GOBA. · The tour is owned and operated by Columbus Outdoor Pursuits, a non-profit organization, for the benefit of bicyclerelated projects in Ohio. ·• GOBA's long-time sponsor is Bob Evans Restaurants, whose contributions have made the tour possible. In 2006, 2,500 people from 33 stat,es and Canada took part in the tour. Over the past 18 years, GOBA has been instrumental in generating mon: than $8.5 million in tourism revenues in the towns along the route, as well as in providing access to Ohio's rural treasures to peo- pie from all over the country. "Ohio · as a state is a cyclist's dream ... with quiet back roads and rail trails coupled with surpnsmg attractions tucked into welcoming corners," Van Winkle said.

Erik Larson. Crown; 462 Pages. $25. 95. ••• When good and evil coexist in close quarters, they create the potential for some intense drama. Erik Larson takes advantage of this tension in '"Thunderstruck." The book, set between 1900 and 1910. · tells two true stories: how wireless communication was introduced to the world by the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, and how that technology fed the public's hunger for infol'l)lation about a sensational murder. At the book's climax, the parallel story lines are brought together in a meaningful way. Larson's decision to intertwine the stories is similar to what he did in '"The Devil in the White City," which was about an architect of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, and a serial killer who found his prey among the fair-goers. Technology is a main theme in "Thunderstruck," as Larson depicts M,arconi's ·obsession with creating and serving a mass market for wireless telegraphy. The book's other thread involves Dr. Hawley Crippen, who killed and dismembered his wife in London, then !led · with another woman on a ship to America. · Larson, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal, ·brings these indi victuals to life with an impressive amount of research. Early on, Larson establishes Marconi as an underdog, and as his story develops it becomes clear why this is important. Marconi was no scientist, and men of science regarded him initially as a tinkerer, an amateur. They were mistaken: Even though Marconi didn ' t fully understand his own · invention. through trial and error, intuition and some luck, he triumphed over . more accomplished men. Describing the wireless station at Cornwall, .England , Larson writes: . "At (Marconi's) direction, the men at Poldhu erected two new · masts, . each 160 feet tall. and strung a thick cable across the top. Frpm it they hung fifty-four bare copper wires, each 150 feet long, that converged over the condenser house and formed a giant fanshell in the sky. No partic.ular law of physics directed the design. It just stru"k Marconi as right." A similar spirit prevailed in many of his efforts. His persistence seemed to be his ~reatest strength. and his unpulsi veness his greatest weakness. although his apparent lack of sensitivity toward others came close . He was also a risk-taking entrepreneur long before the startups of the dot-com era. Marconi's ambition drew many enemies, among them some of the most respected scientists of the day. As history reveals, many of his contemporaries became footnotes. His story, though , was radically altered and in some ways helped by Crippen, Larson writes. Crippen murdered his wife, and was pursued by Scotland Yard when he and his new love lled across the Atlantic. The public, fasci nated by the story, followed the chase in newspapers through Marconigrams sent by the trailing ship. In this way. Crippen unintentionally created attention for, and public confidence in, wireless technology. "The Crippen saga did more to accelerate the acceptance of wireless as a practical tool than anything the Marconi company previously had attempted." Larson writes. "Almost every day, for months, newspaper.s talked about wireless, the miracle of it, the nuts and bolts of it, how ships ·relaying messages from one to another could conceivably send a Marconigram around the world."

Bv DAVID BAUDER AP TELEVISION WRITER NEW YORK - Three months into the Reign of Rosie,' "The View'.' has become must-see TV. But is it the type of viewing that series creator Barbara Walters was bargainingfor? · Rosie O'Donnell's inclusion in the daytime chat show's cast has boosted ratings but seemingly brought along a controversy du jour, ihe latest this week's verbal mudfight between 0' Donnell and Donald Trump. O'Donnell said she wasn't talking about it on Thursday's show but couldn't help herself, saying she was afraid to leave home the night before "in case somebody with a combover came and stole" partner Kel[i from her. Trump took every opportunity to hurl insults in return. Since joining in September, the outspoken O'Donnell has also made waves by accusing Kelly Ripa of homophobia; mocking spoken Chinese imd later apologizing; saying actions by Oprah Winfrey ·and pal Gayle King were "very typical of gay relationships"; and saying that "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radicallslam." "Rosie O' Donnell has wreaked havoc on the show but revitalized it and redefined it," said Tom O' Neil, senior editor of In Toueh Weekly. "The show has gone from ' The View' to strong views."

The core cast of the freshman CBS sitcom "The Class" is crammed around a dining table on a Warner Bros. soundstage rehearsing a dinner-party scene. . · Lina's done the cooking and Richie is apologizing sotto voce for the result. Kat, Duncan, Kyle and Ethan, meanwhile, are trying not to gag on the Moroccan chicken dish Lina's concocted, while Nicole has an excuse for not eating at all- she's dieting. Genuine laughter flows from crew members, especially after legendary sitcom director James Burrows deftly tweaks an actor's move or timing. It's an example of how the CBS series about members of a third-grade class rediscovering each other in adulthood is reassembling itself, literally, to try to improve the ratings. Last summer, co-creator David Crane told a gathering of television critics he hoped 'The Class" (Mondays, 8":30 p.m. EST) would "have a different feeling from a lot of the shows we've seen before." The aim was to take a cue from reality series and follow the Iives of many more characters than the normal handful of buddies on, say, "Friends"' or "Seinfeld." Characters would "intersect" at times, but most . episodes would focus on their individual stories. So after the pilot episode, where · the former classmates had all met up at a party thrown by · Ethan (Jason Ritter) for a fiancee who then dumped him, the characters veered off into separate story lines. Viewers veered off, too, though. Still, CBS had faith in the creators' successful track record ("Friends," "Mad About You") and the appeal of the attractive young cast. So the series has stayed on the air, even as it morphs into a more tradi, tiona! ensem~le format. .. , think what we are finding is what works best is when we get together as a group," says Sean Maguire, who plays a gay school teacher, Kyle. "It was a real] y great idea to try to do a soap opera in 30 minutes with all the different story lines ... but there was just too much going on," reasons Lizzy Caplan •. who plays the initially acerbic but now vulnerable Kat, Lina's twin sister. "We all wanted to · work together, so it's pretty awesome that we now do overlap, and there seems more time each week to really flesh out a full story." While the cast appreciates the creators' effon.to do something different, they welcome the show's reconfiguration. The oddball character of Richie (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who was about to commit suicide when the phone rang to ask him to Ethan's party, is an example of the darker-themed humor. And his linkup wit!] the equally off-kilter Lina (Heather Goldenhersh) was haidly · meet-cute. He broke . her legs when he backed his car into her.

KNEEN Do you have a sweet tooth? In the past, this would be the time of the year to harvest tree sap from the sugarbush. In upstate Ohio, a grove of sugar maple trees was called a sugarbush. A sugar shack was found nearby to process· the raw sap into sweet maple syrup. The lean-to, or four-walled ·building, would contain' a cold storage area for holding raw sap, a stove or open bricked cooking area to hold a series of evaporator and syrup pans, storage for wood fuel and a place to fill . the mason jars with .the finished product. Did you know that it normally takes over 43 gallons of sap boiled down to pro· duce just one gallon of delicious maple syrup? The key to the production of maple syrup was to allow the water in the sap to slowly evaporate away without burning the remaining syrup. Now is the time to harvest the sap from the sugar maple tree. Cold nights and above-freezing sunny days help in the flow of sap from the sugar maple root system through the sapwood into the uppermost regions of the tree.

BY SCOTT SONNER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER RENO, Nev. - The nation's largest gold-producing state is being asked to investigate whether mercury emissions from its mines are contaminating area fisheries. Citing a recent study by the University of Nevada, Reno, a coalition of environmentalists, health care advocates, sportsmen and American l ndians said Thursday that a fish consumption advisory for mercury should be issued for one large reservoir in northeast Nevada and perhaps . other fisheries downwind from mining operations. · Fish tissue samples collected by university researchers at Wild Horse Reservoir showed mercury concentrations that the U.S. Environmental ·Protection Agency considers a public health risk, especially to children and pregnant women, the groups said. "We believe that an investigation into the public health risks from fish consumption from reservoirs, lakes and rivers in northern Nevada is warranted," they said in a letter to the state health administrator. "It is Important that Nevada families and visiting tourists have accurate information to determine which fish are safe to eat and how many fi sh are safe to eat."

Diseases such as gray mold and fusarium rot may have started growing if storage conditions are not properly monitored. My biggest problem is allowing a disease to enter an injured root or stem and not catching the injury to the plant. Cut off any diseased part and dust with sulfur to prevent further disease growth. If the rot is too far along, toss the bulb or tuber out. For those gardeners lacking these non-hardy perennials, mark your calendar for noon on April 6. The Meigs County Council on Aging and OSU Extension's Master Gardeners will be having another plant exchange at the Meigs County Senior Citizen Center. Discussion on plant care will begin at II a.m. Both events are free and the public is welcome. ny loiS or expans 150 F• Fsd?T« Groups urge fish consumption advisory, citing emissions from Nevada's gold mines at SUNDAY PUZZLER 112 Alllcllal ... Funding available for forestry EQIP visit 'their website www.tourgcauga.com. Homeowners used to drill a 2-1/2 depth hole into the sapwood and place a tap (spile) into the opening to allow the sap to flow i.nto an awaiting covered bucket. A 10 to 15 inch 'diameter tree would have one tap, while a 25-inch tree would have four taps. Each tap will produce six to 10 gallons of sap during the season . Collecting of sap stopped as the leaf buds began to swell and split as the sap took on a distinctive taste. Few operations today use the bucket method of harvest. Mos! sugarbush opemtions use plastic tubing to transport the sap irito a collection bin. Then the sap is reduced down into syrup using more modern gas fired evaporators, If you have a sugarbush in your backyard and desire to produce your own maple syrup, extension has a forestry factsheet, number 37 entitled "Hobby Maple Syrup Production." As for me, it is much easier to buy the finished product. Northeast Ohio continues to be a major producer of maple syrup and you can visit a working sugar shack located in downtown Burton, during early March.
