As Meigs County has capitalized on its role in Civil War history, the Middleport Development Group plans to promote Middleport' s part in the historical network of clandestine routes by which slaves attempted to escape from southern states to free states, or to Canada. Mic hael Gerlach, Middleport 's . downtown revitalization coordinator, is also a local hi storian . Gerlach said one of the Underground Railroad 's routes took slaves from Mason County. W.Va .. then part of Virginia, to the mouth of Leading Creek. near the present !neat ion or the Middlepon Marina. The Undergrou nd Railro11d consisted of clandestine routes, transpor.tation , meeting points, safe houses and other havens , and assistance maintained by abolitionist sympathizers. Members of the Rutland community were also involved in the e~cape sys- tem. The Appalachian Regional Commission ha' made small grants available to communities along the Railroad Undergrou nd route, designed to promote their hi storiciil significance. With a growing interest in the history of the Ci vi I War era, the development group believes promoting the 'il lage's role in helping escaped s l ~:ves could be an effecti ve means of drawing .touri't' who visit the county for its Civil War history. Melissa Zoller of Buckeye Hill s/Hock ing Valley Development Reg iona l District has begun to research the ARC grant program . and will work with the development group to ·prepare an application and a plan for using any grant fund~. · Gerlach · said Thursday.

Unlike the Iraq Study Group, which tended to split differences between Republicans and Democrats in order to achieve consensus on what to do in Iraq, the 26member skills panel agreed unanimously on what its executive director called "a complete shake. up" in U.S education. The recommendations include ending high school for most students at age 16, after lOth grade. Students passing a staten,m exam that meets national standards would move on to community colleges or job training. Others who pass would stay in high school for Advance Placement or I n t e. r n a t i o n a I Baccalaureate work leading to admission .to fouryear colleges. Those who failed the test would return to high school until they passed.

On first hearing he might run for president in 2008, I thought I might have a candidate who .has a mind of his own that works: But then came his Nov. 27 Manchester, N.H., speech at the annual Loeb First Amendment dinner.

"I'm not trying to prohibit people from owning the' ammals or trying to put anyone out of business," said state Rep. George Distel, a Conneaut Democrat. "I just want to protect the public by ensuring that the people who possess these animals behave responsibly." Distel introduced a bill this year· in the General Assembly that would require people possessing dangerous ·wild or exotic animals to obtain a permit and also would establish safety requirements. He said legislators didn't have time to take it up in the last session, but he will reintroduce it in January. Some of the proposed · safety requirements call for perimeter fencing around the primary housing for such animals, annual state · inspections of the property where they are ·kept and signs warning the public of their presence. Rachel Supplee, 37, who was mauled by a neighbor's 500-pound bear in May, strong! y supports the bill. "I don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else," said Supplee, who lives in Richmond Township in Ashtabula County. Supplee said the bear, which t.ad escaped from its cage, crashed through a door into her former home in Hansgrove Township. It ·attacked Supplee and left her with a brutsed lung, bro. ken ribs and numerous bite ·. WQ\Inds.and cuts before she., was able to escape with the help of her daughter.

Some out-of-state universities offer online high school courses for up to $115, which can satisfy Ohio's physical education requirement. By submitting logs of their weekly exercise, students' earn credits toward graduation. . Michae! Schaefer, head of physical educaiion at Upper Arlington High School in suburban Columbus, said the online courses can't verify that students are getting a challenging workout. Schaefer is .competing by changing the tradiuonal gym course. So many students wanted to take the field trip to a yoga studio this month that Schaefer had to hold a lottery. The experience was what a gym class should btl, he said, with an instructor in the room, correcting poor form and sweating along with his students. Schaefer also has started offering independent study courses this year that still allow students to choose when they work out but also give them personal access to the instructor. About 150 of Upper Arlington 's 2,000 students enrolled in online gym last school year. Meanwhile, the school's gym classes have shrunk . There were about 90 students per class four years ago , Schaefer said. Now. there are 45 . Some educators say online courses are a good option for students. but others fear they are un>aft: and e. .
