FINDLAY - Marla Coppler's barbershop is a shrine to her favorite hometown quarterback. . A Ben Roc;thlisberger clock is tacked to the wall. Newspaper clippings detailing his breakout rookie season are taped to the mirrors. And a replica of his Pittsburgh· Steelers jersey greets everyone who walks in. Across town, Tony's Restaurant has its own black and gold disptax and serves up the "Big Ben Burger. ' All of this would have been considered treason a year ago in a town that sits in the middle of Cleveland Browns territory, the Steelers' hated rival. Not anymore. Roethhsberger's success - he's won his ftrst 14 starts and could become the first rookie quarterback to take his team to a Super Bowl with a victory over New England Sunday -has captivated his northwest Ohio hometown. "Everyone on this side of the Pennsylvania line used to be a Browns fan," Dick Denman said as he got his hair trimmed this week. "1 defy you to find one anymore." Still. there are some Browns fans still around. But ·even they've been caught up in the ex.citement, covertly buymg Steelcrs gear. ·~we give them a little hassle," said Ronnie Romero, a salesman at Finish Line, a sports store at the town's mall. "They always say they're supporting the hometown guy or they say it's for someone else." Browns fan Frilz Wink, general manager of Buffalo Wild Wings, a · restaurant where fans gather to watch the Steelers, admitted to buying a Big Ben stocking cap last week. "That's as' far as I'll go," he said. "I'm a big Browns fan, but Ben's a good guy. I'm rooting for him not the Steelers. Ai least that's the way I rationalize it." Anything with Roethlisberger's name, face or No. 7 jersey is 'selling - magnets, bobblehead dolls, blankets, flags, mugs, toy cars, hats (pink ones too) and even a Steelers birdhouse. Big Ben merchandise accounts for about three out ·of four sales at SpgrtsMania, said clerk ~ebecca Foltz. · ''I could write Steelers on a piece of paper and they'd buy it," she said. His appeal has grown nationwide. His NFL jersey is the top seller this year, according to Finish Line and Reebok.

Lehman leads onslaught on easy North course SAN DIEOO (AP) - Tom Lehman was so locked into his ~arne Thursday that he didn t realize until after his round he had birdied the last six holes · for a I0-under 62 and ·a one-shot lead in the Buick Invitational. One thing was clear: He must have been on the North course at Torrey Pines. In a tournament that takes two days to figure qut who's . playing the best. Lehman matched his career-low round on the easier North course with a steady diet of fairways and greens. He birdied nine of his final 12 holes for a oneshot lead over Dean Wilson . ''I'm doing a lot of things right that you need to do right out here," Lehman said. "Jt would hav,e been nice to continue to the fust tee on the South course and keep going." , Or maybe not. All but two of the 19p 17 scores came from the North course, which · played nearly three strokes easier. Aaron Baddeley (66) and Peter Lonard (67) had the best scores on the South course, which plays at 7.566 yards and will host the U.S. Open in 2008.

Tom Werry, had heard about a dog that had been shot in the woods where he was hunting on the first day of deer season .. Four days later Werry found the dog in the woods still suffering from a gunshot wound. Werry and his companions emptied their large cooler and used it to .carry Kenzie over a mile back to their vehicle and then to a local veterinarian. Kenzie quickly found her way to dog rescuer Ambrose who drove the dog to Columbus for medical treatment at her own expense. The bill totaled $1 ,698.91. Ambrose estimates that she annually spends $5 ,000 on veterinarian bills for her rescues. Ambrose was gratefu I to both· the Meigs Courny . Humane Society and Werry 's mother Judy Sisson who gave her donations towards paying Kenzie's medical expenses . although she has paid the. majority of the balance. Currently 13 dogs make their home with Ambrose . Some are her own personal pets, or her "goldens" as she calls them,. but most are rescues in need of another foster or permanent family. Some of these dogs received a reprieve from death row at shelters, some are awaiting tran sport to .another rescue organization but all appeared happy and healthy. Ambrose admits that . the work she does for dogs would be a lot easier if peo- pie would spay and neuter . their pets. Every dog that she adopts out is required to be spayed and neutered. "I hope to have no more animals euthanized because they have no homes," she said about her mission. Boyfriend Floyd Cleland assists Ambrose in her mission to save unwanted dogs and she admits she couldn't do it without him. "They are the love of our lives," Cleland said about the couple's dogs, "and Kenzie is a great dog." To look at Kenzie now its apparent how far she's collie in so little time because of the attention she has received, demonstrating that dogs have a capacity for love and for- ' giveness that humans sometimes · misplace. Kenzie has now found a permanent home with Ambrose who said, "wiid horses couldn 't get .her away from me." . When asked why she continues to give a voice to those who cannot speak. Ambrose said what inspires her is the story of the Rainbow Bridge which was written by an unknown author for animal lovers. The Rainbow Bridge is where beloved pets who have passed away wait ·for their owners. When the owner dies, the pet greets their owner and they cross the Rainbow Bridge into heave n. Dogs that never made it out of a rescue and passed on with only the h~ve of their rescuer to comfoh them cannot cross the Rainbow Bridge because they had no family to call their owri on earth.

One recent morning, I was driving in .Miami on Interstate 95, which should have a sign that says: WARNING HIGH TESTOSTERONE LEVELS . NEXT 15 MILES In the left lane, one behind the other, were two welldressed middle-aged men, both driving luxury telephone:equipped' German automobiles. They looked like responsible business executives, probably named Roger, with good jobs and nice families and male pattern baldness, the kind of guys whose most violent physical activity, on an average day, is stapling. .They were driving norJllally, except that the guy in front, Roger One, was thoughtlessly going only about 65 miles an hour, which in Miami is the speed limit normally observed inside car washes. So Roger Two pulled up behind until the two cars were approximately one electron apart. and honked his horn. Of course, Roger One was not about to stand for THAT. You let a guy honk ?t you, and you are basically admit' ting that he has a bigger stapler. So Roger One stomped on his brnkes, forcing Roger Two to swerve onto the shoulder, where, showing amazing presence of mind in an emergency, he was able to make obscene gestures with both hands. At this point, both Rogers accelerated to approximately' 147 mph and began weaving Dave · Barry violently from lane to lane through dense rush-hour traffic, each risking numerous lives in an effort to get in front of the other, screaming · and getting spit all over their walnut dashboards. I quickly lost sight of them, but I bet neither one backed down . Their co-workers probably wondered what happened to them . "Where the heck is Rpger?" they probably said later that morning unaware that, even as they ~poke, the dueling Rogers, still only inches apart, were approaching the Canadian border. . . This is not unusual guy behavior. One time in a Washington, D.C., 'traffic · jam, I saw two guys, also driving nice cars, reach a point where their lanes were supposed to merge. But neither one would yield, so they very slowly - we are talking maybe one mile per hour - drove into each other. Other examples of pointlessly destructive or hurtful' macho guy behavior include: • Guys at sporting events getting into shoving matches and occasionally sustaining fatal heart attacks over such issues as ·who was next in line for pretzels. • Guys on the street making mo!ith noises at women. • Boxing. ' • Foreign policy. hi-s brain, which. was not Why do guys do these exactly a steel trap to begin things?

A deer's antlers are classified as typical when they are symmetrical and regular in · shape, , The Buckeye Big Buck Club keep·s records of trophy bucks taken by hunters in Ohio. The president of the organization originally scored the buck at 202 1/8 on the standard scar- _ ___ J • Sunday,January23,2005 . . ing system for deer. A paQel of judges put together by the club then measured the buck and came up with an official score of 201 118, tying it with a buck t~ken by William D. Kontras of Clark County in 1986. Kontras ' buck was never panel-scored, however - a club requirement to b'e recognized as a · . state record. "I'm basically a meat hunter, but always interested in a trophy animal," Jerman said. "We .feed our family on venison. I was blessed to be at the right place at the right time." In the last five years. Ohio has seen a number of records eclipsed. The non-typical title. was awarded to Mike lUND NEW 2005 PONTIAC SUNFIRE SUN & SOUND COUPE Cl Beatty of Xenia for hi s · 2000 bowkilled deer in Greene County. His buck scored 304 618 and currently ranks as the No. I non-typical buck in Ohio, the largest non-typical ever taken by a hunter, and the top nontypical in the country. A panel .w1ll score the Beatty buck in March. The score sheet on the Jerman Buck will be sub\flitted to the Boone and . Crockett Club, a nationally recognized scoring organization, for possible inclusion in the world records. If the Ohio score is approved, the Jerman buck should end up as the No. I 0 typical dee[ in the world and the large st ever taken by . a crossbow hunter. lUND NEW 2005 CHiVY COLOUDO EXTENDED CAB PICKUP YlftK 2100 Eopot.

BY JAMES SANDS Help-ful hints for parents of newborns BY RuTH LovEDAY, LPN GALLIA COUNl'l HEALTH DEPARTMENT The first few weeks of life are a 'very special time for you and your baby. Here. are some helpful hints th-at can help keep your baby healthy. • Be sure to wash your hands before each feeding . Ask others to wash their hands, too. This could keep baby from getting sick. • Relax and enjoy feeding time. Baby knows how much breastmilk or formula to take. When baby releases the nipple and turns attention to . other things, he's full . • Baby will take different ilrnounts of breastmi lk or formula at different feedings. Be sure to throw out the leftover in each bottle. Always wash and rinse the bottle and nipple carefully before using them again. • You can plan to feed your newboro formula every 2 to 3 hours and your breastfed baby a little more often. • Sometimes·babies have a fussy time, often in the late afternoon. This is normal so try not to worry. • Always hold baby at feeding time! This makes baby feel loved and secure. Propping the bottle can cause ear infections. Al so, you may not notice if baby chokes. •·Smoking around baby.can cause ear infections and breathing problems_ Ask smokers to please step outside. If you smoke, this is a good time to quit. Do not smoke when you are feeding your baby. • The best food for your baby is breasunilk.lf you choose not to breastfeed, use iron-fortified formula. The iron does not cause colic or constipation. It helps baby stay healthy. • Wait until baby is at least four months old to start cereal! Then start with plain grain cereals, rice cereal first, fed with a spoon. Do not put cereal in the bottle. Cereal too early might cause allergies later. · · • A little spitting up is normal. If you are worried about how much your baby is spitting up, you may be feeding too much at one time. Try giving less at feeding, Spit up formula or breastmilk •willlook curdled. Spit up formula will smell sour.· This is normal. Be sure to burp bapy gently several times during each feeding to prevent spitling up. KeeJ? baby as upright as · possible dunng burping. • No holley anytime during the ftrst year! It can cause deadly food poisoning. · • Buy some extra formula when you can afford it. This way you won't get caught without any. If you don't use powdered formula, you may want to get some for days you and your baby are away form home. . Resources: Help Me Grow, ·. use tax refund to help meet financial goals If you haven't yet filed your taxes, you may think it's too early to rnder your refund. After al , you don't even know if you' ll get one. But the odds are in your favor, historically, about three-fourths of all taxpayers receive refund checks. So, you may want to start planning for this "bonus" today. ln fact, if you get a refund, and you haven't thought about what to do with it, you may be more likely to spend it - and then it's gone. As an alternative. why not use your refund to help yourself make pro~re ss toward your key financ1al goals? You might think that your refund wouldn't really be big April Rice . enough to make much of a difference in your life. But that 's not necessarily true . In 2004, the average tax refund was abo~t $2,300. What could you do with this amount1 Let"s take a look: · • Contribute to your IRA In 2005, you can put in up to $4,000 (or $4,500 if you're SO or older) to a traditional or Roth IRA (income limits apply), so your $2,300 would put you more than halfway to ,the limit. It's almost always a· good idea to fully fund your IR.A. which offers substantial tax advantages. Specifically, a traditional IRA's earnings grow tax-deferred , while a Roth IRA's earnings grow completely tax-free, provided you meet certain conditions. • Pay down your debts Over the past few years, we've seen low interest rates in a number of areas- mortgages, certificates of deposit, shortterm bonds, etc. But there's at least one ·conspicuous excep· tion · to the low-rate trend: Credit cards. You could easily have one or more credit cards that charge 11 percent interest -or more. If you could get rid of that debt, you would, in effect, be earning an 11 percent (or greater) return . Consequently, you'd likely · be making a pretty good "investment" by applying your $2,300 toward your credtt card debt.. • Save for college- College costs have risen sharply over the past several years. To send you children to college, you'll want ·to save early and save often. Fortunately, you can find several attractive collegesavings vehicles, including the Covcrdell Education Savings Account and the Section 529 savings plan. You ·can put up to $2,000 per year to a Coverdell Account - so your 42,300 is · enough to completely fund your plan for 2005. Or you might also want to constder putting your tax refund into a Section 529 savings plan. (Section 529 .plan contribution limits are quite high.) • Build an "emergen~y fund" ·- If you don't already have an emergency fund containing three to stx months' wortli of living expenses, you shoula constder creating one - and your· $2,300 will make a nice start. Once you've· set up an emergency fund, you may be able to avoid dipping into your long-term investments to pay for short-term needs, such as a major car repair or an expensj ve new appliance. • Use your refund wisely - This year when you get your tax refund, put it I{) work. By making the right moves, you can reap benefit s from your refund long after . tax season is over. · .(April E.

Although most of the reported cases occur in children under five years,. 50 percent of these are in children under one year Of age.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in an attempt to produce an amplifier for his hard-ofhearing mother. Now you know that trying to correct hearing problems with technology has been around for a very long tithe. " " " We know today that the effect of hearing lo~s is more than just an inability to hear conversation. The emotional well being of a person can also. be involved. Hearing loss may cause isolation and agitation. It i:an also affect memory and coping skills. So, while hearing loss may be invisible,,the effects are not. Almost anyone who is experiencing difficulty with communication' due to hea:ring loss is.. a candidate for hearing instruments. There are some hearing losses that are' medically treated without the need for amplification; however, they are the exception not the rule. The good news is there are warning · signs for hearing loss. . hearing aid technology. Usii1g computer processing power, digital hearing instruments are able to .analyze sounds and automatically adjust for your personal needs. Do you tum the volume of the television or radio up louder than it is comfortable with others? Do family and friends comment on your inability to hear? Do you have ringing in your ears? Hearing loss is a very persona l issue as it-can affect your quality of life and has an effect on your friends and·family. Holzer Clinic has three licensed and experienced Audiologists as .well as three Otolaryngologists (ENT physicians )that can answer · questions and help you with your hearing lpss. Why miss out on the sounds of life? Call Holzer Clinic for an appointment and meet with someone who will professionally assess your hearing and improve your quality of life. If you answered yes to these questions, you may have a hearing loss and should be evaluated by an Audiologist. Your audiologist can then recommend a course of action for you. If hearing aids are re~ommended, she will help you choose the hearing aids 'that are best suited for your hearing loss. We have cpme a long way since Alexander Graham Bell. Some o( the first hearing aids were so big that the battery had to be strapped to the person's ankle.

Bath and spa-maker :Jacuzzi has teamed with Ferrari designer Pininfarina to create · whirlpool baths that are expected to make a splash among high end tubs once it reaches the U.S. market in March. lhe new appliance; dubbed Morphosis, elevates the premium whirlpool experience beyond the notion of warm water 'swirling in a tub. .

Stkes uses terms such as "hydromassage" and "cljromatherapy" to describe ,what her customers seek in upscale tubs. Hydrotherapy in premium models such as the Morphosis involves multiple wellplaced jets of :water heated to a constant temperature to gently pummel aches and pains into submission.

Pininfarina is an Italian studio best known for · its de sign of Ferrari, Alfa Ronieo and Peugeot spon cars.

The top companies · producing meats, grains, and other staples' now enjoy virtu<~! control over the markets for their products. It's gotten to the point where much of our nourishment depends on a handful of giants. And they' re shipping foods an average of 1,500 miles to reach your plate, a practice that strains anyone's notion of "fresh." But a quiet revolution is in the air, and we the eaters hold the power for change. The typical tomato is exhausted by the time he gets to market.

Because of the need to hold up . over distances, our foods are bred, not for taste but for trmisport - their ability to handle the long haul. And what do we eaters get? Tired tomatoes. Not to mention the other '"T' word. (0\;ay, I've gone 'this far already: Tasteless.) Long-distance food has to be trucked to our supermarkets. ·Nine percent of America's total energy consumption is used to produce, process and transport our foods. Locally grown fruits and vegetables get their beauty and taste the old-fashioned way. Local crops are bred for flavor, not mass production.
