"They both went to the basement, where they exchanged pleasan t . conversation." Eventually, Schuler brought up the issue of the owed money; and a heated argument ensued . He told Perry and Detective Chad Wallace that he decided to go upstairs and get a Coke out of Cardwell's refrigerator.

I READER'S VIEW .Eroded Theresa reason itisn}t scfe Dear Editor: · Riverboat traffic during times of very high water is causing severe erosion of the banks. As a riverfront property owner, I am seeing increased erosion and undercutting just in the past few years. This is primarily due to the larger Mississippi-type riverboats that are powerful'enough to go upstream with a fu ll 15-barge tow even when the water is approaching tlood level. I have often wondered why these boats are "allowed" to ply, the Ohio River when conditions are so severe. My guess is it isn't the choice of the captain or deckhands who must endure these extreme and unsafe conditions. Most likely the order to go is given by some barge line owner chasing the "almighty buck"" from his warm, cozy office in another state. It's always about the money. Businesses in Pomeroy have had plate glass windows smashed by the wake and debris from .these boats during high water. Now, we have seen death and destruction from such illadvised ventures. Not to mention the economic impact result. ing from 'the sunken barges at Belleville Locks and Dam. Besides the obvious. there is the added cost to repair road slippage. damage to personal property, lost wages and no small inconvenience to those who live and work in the affect. ed area. Ask the folks in Hockingport what they think. Hopefully. this most recent barge incident is a wake up call to "officialdom'" to be responsible in control boat traffic during dangerous river conditions. · Craig WehrU11g Although he'd never admit it, President Bush is not . a "uniter."

Friends may call frpm 4 - 9 Dave · • Barry music." When 1 look in volume "M" of my son's World Book Encyclopedia, I find, on pages 838-9, the following statement: "Mosses grow and reproduce in two phases _ 'sexual' and •asexual. • "Not only that, but .during the "sexual" phase, the ·moss develops "special organs," and when the time is ripe, "they burst and release hundreds of sperm cells." Do you· believe it? MOSS! Growing organs! Having sex! Probably smoking little one-celled cigarettes .afterward! Parents, this could be going on in your community. I think we should alert the Rev. Pat Robeirtson. But we ·also need to define "classical music." A little farther on in . the World · Book, we come to the section on music, whiCh states: "There are two chief kinds of Western music, classical and popular." Thus we see that "classical music" is defined, technically, as "music that is not popular." This could be one reason why the "average Joe" does not care for it. I myself am not a big fan. I will go to a classical concert only under very special circumstances, such as that I have been • told to make a ransom payment there. But until I got this letter from •. ... . .. Mr. Muffitt, I never knew why I felt this way. I've been thinking abolit it, and I have come up with what I believe are tlie three main problems · with classical music: I. IT'S CONFUSING. With "popular" music, you understand what's happening. For example, in the . song "Long Tall Sally," when Little Richard sings, "Long Tall Sally, she's .built for speed," you can be certain . that the next line is going to follow logically· ("She got everything that Uncle John need"), and then there will be the chorus, or, as it is known technically, "the 'Ooh baby' part." Whereas in classical music, you never know WHAT will happen next. Sometimes the · musicians stop completely in the middle of the song, thereby causing the average Joe, who is hoping that t11e song is over, to start clapping, whereupon the deceased audience members come back to life and give him dirty looks, and he feels like a big dope. It would help if there were an electronic basketball-style clock hanging from the conductor's back, indicating how much time .is left in the song. Speaking of which: 2. IT TAKES TOO LONG. The Shangri-Las, performing "Leader of the Pack ," take only about four minutes to tell a dramatic and moving story - includ. ing a motorcycle crash. A classical orchestra can take five times that long just to sii down. There needs til be more of an emphasis on speed.· There could . be Symphony Sprints, wherein two orchestras would com. '' ~·- - ~ •' ... pete head-to~head to se~;: who could get through a given piece of music the fastest. There could even be defense, wherein for example the trombone players · would void their spit valves at the opposing violin section. This would be good, because: 3. IT NEEDS MORE ACTION. When I was in college, I saw the great blues harmonica player James Cotton give a performance of "Rockin' Robin" wherein he stuck his harmonica into his mouth, . held his arms out sideways like an airplane, . and toppled headfrrst off of an eight-foot stage into the crowd, where he landed safely on a cushion of college students and completed · the song in the prone position. That same year - I did not see this personally, but I have friends who did - the great blues guitarist Buddy Guy gave a club performance wherein, while taking a solo, he went into the men's room (he had a long guitar cord), closed the door, apparently relieved himself, flushed, reopened the door and came back out and never stopped playing. You do not forget musical experiences such as those. I am not saying that classical musicians should do these things. It would be difficult to get, say, a harp into a restroom stall . I am just saying. Mr. Muffitt, that until the average Joe can . expect this level of enter~ tainment . from ·classical music, he is probably going to stay home watching TV, stuck to his sofa like moss ·on a rock. But wjth less of a sex life. .···-... ···• - .... ~ RSVP distributing assistance forms GALLIPOLIS The Retired and· Senior Volunteer Program is distributing Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) applica, David E, Kleinhans. 90, of Wellstoi1 . died Friday.

Muffitt, the music director of the of ; Texas University Symphony Orche'stra, which has gained international acclaim for it~ rendition of "Achy Breaky Heart." No, I'm sure it's a fine orchestra that plays a serious program of classical music featuring numerous notes, sharps, flats, clefs, bassopns, deceased audience members, etc. Anyway, Mr. Muffitt states that he has been asked to conduct a series of concerts for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra next fall. The goal is "to get peopie into the concert hall other than those who usually .come." He asks: "What would get the average Joe into the concert hall? Do you go to classica! music concerts? Why or why not?" Mr. Muffitt, those are important questions, and before I answer them, let me state that I really like saying "Mr. Muffitt." I think "Mr. Muffitt" would be a great title. for a Saturday-morning children's cartoon show, , wherein Mr. Muffitt is a superhero ·who, accompanied by sidekicks representing every major minority group and gender, goes around kicking villain butt. I have not worked out the details of the plot, although it would definitely involve a Magic Tt)ffet. .

The Assqciated Press CINCINNATI (AP) - Infielder Anderson Machado had surgery on Friday to repair a tom ligament in his left knee, leaving former AUStar Rich Aurilia and Felipe Lopez to compete for the starting shortstop job for the Cincinnati Reds.

' Trading Sosa might prompt the Cubs to attempt to sign Magglio Ordonez, the last remaining top free agent. Ordonez, who starred for the. Chicago White Sox, has been in negotiations with Detroit. Sosa has 574 .home runs, seventh on the career list, and his home run race with Mark McGwire in 1998 made him on~ of the game's most popular players. With an mfectious smile, home run hops and hea11 taps, he became Chicago's favorite athlete after Michael Jordan retired. In all those dark years when the Cubs struggled, Sosa and his jaw-dropping homers were the lone bright spots. But Sosa's relations with the Cubs - and the fans soured in • recent years. Hampered by injuries, he's batted just .266 the last two ·seasons and his homer totals have dropped. Last season, Sosa batted only .253 - his lowest average since 1997 arid 'hit 35 homers and 80 RB!s in 126 games, ending his run of 100-RBI seasons at mne. The breaking point came when he skipped out ~n the final game of last season.

I't 's not too · late to get involve(! in the grant process and with enough public participation, Pomeroy could be a winner in the Department of Economic Development's competitive distress program. You may remember that Middleport received a large grant in the last round of awards. Six hundred or so Pomeroy residents need to fill out a one-page survey in whicp they check off what they view as needed neighborhood improvement projects. We want to make. that easy · for you, so here at The Daily Sentinel, we have a stack of survey form s. Come in and fill out one, take one home and get it back to us, get your neighbor to fill our one. In March or so, the results will be tabulated and then Je an Tru ssell, . Meigs County grant administrator, will take the results to Pomeroy Village Council where projects to be included on the application will be selected. A grant like this could provide money to improve streets and sidewalks, get burned-o'ut or old house s demoli shed, develop neighborhood parks, improve storm drams, or expand senior and youth centers. Public involvement is high on the criteria to qualify. So come on. You' re not that busy. (Chqrle11e Hoeflich is general manager of The Daily Sentinel in Pomeroy.)

Athens fi nished second that year at 8-4. It was quite a surprising year for Gar Griffith's team. They became the first Gallipolis team to ever win more than five league games as Gallipolis had been the "doormat" of the Jeasue for many Of the years from the league's first season in 1975. In fa~ t . the 1937-38 team barely had a winning record. Gallipolis had gone over I 0 years without a single win against rival Pomeroy. The season started out rather inauspiciously as the Blue Devils last big at Columbus South 43-23. Of course, South was the ·defending Columbus City League champ. After the game, the team drove to Sylvania, Ohio (near Toledo) to play Burnham. This team had badly beaten Gallipolis in Gallipolis the year before. But led by Wendel Lloyd's eight points, the Blue and White upset Burnham this time 21-17. In the first league game, Gallipoli s beat Athen s at home with Aldo Fontana scoring 13 points. For the year, Fontana would lead the team in scoring, averaging 8.4 a game. Other starter's ,averages were: John Gwinn at 6.3, Dow! Daniels at 5.6, Chester Sealey at 4. I, and Lloyd at 2.6. Donavan Dillon and Gerald Davis, who started part of the games as well, averaged 1.9 and 1.2, respectively. As a· team, Gallipolis averaged 29 a game and gave up 25. In 1937, the jump ball rule that in.sisted on a jump ball after every made goal .had been abolished and it was hoped that this would speed up the game. According to one Ohio college coach, the game in 1939 had gotten so 'fastpaced that no referee could adequately officiate the game . We note that foul shooting was especially bad in that era. · Balls were now the quahty then as they are now. In fact, Gallipolis ' leading free throw shooter that year, Fontana, shot only 57 percent of hi s charity tosses. The Blue Devils· next knocked off Middleport 40-2 1, Wahama 37-17, and Jackson 17-11. The seventh game was a rough affair against Point Pleasant, but Gallipolis prevailed 42-18. Middleport was beaten a second time 21-13 . , The first real tough league contest came at home with Logan. The largest crowd of the season watched GAHS build a big lead only to watch it shrink . after Fontana had fou led out. . The Blue and White eventually won 38-33. Their ninth win came against Nelsonville .41-24. In game I0 against Point Pleasant,. Fontana was a one man show early in this match, scoring 18 of Gallipolis' first 26 points, making many of his baskets from long range. But Gallia Academy trailed 31-26 with a few minutes to go in the ·game. Then Sealey hit a long one and that was followed up by two baskets from Lloyd to put Gallia up by one. With under a minute to go, Fontana stole a Point Pleasant dribble and drove the tloor for a layup to close out the scoring (34-31). Gallipolis next beat Wellston 30-23 on Well ston's very small court. · . . Then in a thriller . with Po~eroy where Gall~pohs was , tra1hng by two, Damels made clutch free throws to lead the Blue Devils to a 29-28 win over the Purple Panthers·. The free throw to tie came on a technical call a~ainst Pomet:Oy for callmg a lime-out wh1ch they did not have. Later, Daniels was fouled with 19 seconds to go. The Tribune writer said Daniels . had the "co mposure of a bride facing the preacher _for the fifth time" as he sank the ·winning free throw. Then came a win again st Athens with Gwinn making five of six Jon? distance shots. Gallipolis 13-ga me win streak was ended when they lost a non-leag ue game · to a tall Ironton team 32, 28. Pomeroy was defeated a second time before over 1,000 · fans at Pomeroy 36-30. In the sectional tournament Gallipolis beat a 15-2 New Boston team that featured all state performer Windy Martin 32-28. Martin was considered a giant in 1939 at 6 feet, 3 inches and 23 5 pounds. Gallipoli s was then blown out by Greenfield 3414 to close the season at 15-3.

' Smart ways to support charita-ble groups The holidays may be over, but your spirit of generosity is probably still intact. If you . want to support your favorite charitable organizations, and you'd like to do more than April just send the occasional Rice ~heck, you've got some attractive options.

And because you're moving assets from your estate, your beneficiaries will have fewer estate taxes to pay. Since the assets in the-charitable remainder are going to charity, you may want to replace these assets by purchasing a life lnsurance policy on yourself, using some of the income from the trust, and naming your heirs as beneficiaries. You may want · to put the policy in an irrevocable life insurance trust. · Because the trust actually owns the insurance policy, the proceeds are kept out of your taxable estate - and your heirs will owe less in estate taxes. You can al so direct the . trust to provide your heirs with regular income. Don' t try this at home : You will need professional help in setting up a charitahie gift annuity, a charitable remainder tru st and an irrevocable life insurance trust. So, consult with your tax , legal and investment advisers before taking any steps. By making the right moves, right from the start, you 'll have a good chance of seeing the results you want.

Among the ,m ost pop-ular items are: . · Nian Gao, the New Year's cake, the most important cake eaten during Lunar New Year festivities, .is a sweet, sticky dessert similar to a putjding. .

The main ingredient, glutinous rice flour, is a symbol of cohesiveness and family. It is believed that a household will have a good year if the Nian Gao is made perfectly, with a nice smooth texture. There are many types of Nian Gao, but the most traditional is the one made with brown sugar .and dried dates.

In spite of torrential rains and flooding in southern Ohio, Ohio set new state records in 2004 for the average bushels per acre of soybeans (47 bushels) . and corn (158 bushels). This data was released by the ' . Ohio Agricultural Statistics Service in the Jan. 13 Ohio Farm Report. Current prices . for both commodities have dropped 10 to 20 percent since December, 2003. Both alfalfa and other hay yields decreased slightly from the 2003 production year to 3.2 tons and 2.05 tons of dry hay per acre, respectively. On a positive note . this has allowed local farmers to replace flooded crops with cheaper replacement feed stuffs.

But there are things you caf! do to protect your water garden and the colorful creatures swimming within. Call it a predator control plan for your pond. "You can try to have the water fixture designed as naturalistic as pdssible," says Ed Beaulieu, with Aquascape Designs Inc., in Batavia, Ill. "Use logs and stumps and rocks. Create overheads and artificial caves and hides ~ places where creatures can escape predators." Beaulieu (buh-LOO') is an environmental scientist turned pond builder. Aquascape Designs bills itself as the "world's leading innovator and manufacturer of ecologically-friendly water garden systems." Beaulieu is its vice president for construction and has helped design and build well over I ,000 ponds. He was packing his bags for a job in Ireland when interviewed for this story. "Water is the source of life for all mammals on the planet," Beaulieu says. "You'll likely get some predators coming in. Some people will like tbat. Others won't." Beaulieu says you can design ponds in such a way that certain foragers will avoid them. Great blue herons, for example. "Herons are probably the ·biggest predator we have," he says. "Everyone thinks it's raccoons, but a raccoon won't be much of a predator if the pond is built eight feet or more in width." It. helps that herons are skittish. That limits most of their foraging to water gardens tucked into q)liet corners of properties. "They don't like a lot of trallic or noise or kids running in and out of the house.
