READER'S VIEW Enthused How conversation spurred progn'SS Dear Editor: On the evening of Nov: 8, I sat in the GAHS auditorium amazed at the. response-and enthusiasm for the city school levy. As I waited for precinct results to be announced, I thought about how all of this started. I have the privilege to share with you just exactly how it all started. . · My husband (J.R. Sauer) and I were attending my 15-year reunion (GAHS Class of '89) during the summer of 2004. Having graduated with Vicki (Dillo.n) Smith, Ryan Smith was also in attendance. We had a lengthy conversation that evening with the Smiths regarding the school system and its facilities. I was impressed with Ryan's knowledge base as well as enthusiasm to see change. The conversation must have stuck with Ryan because the following week he contacted my husband to ask for his help in pursuing new schools. For several months thereafter, Ryan Smith and J.R. Sauer, along with Tom Moore, Brent Saunders, Tom Wiseman, Bob Foster, Gary Roach and Lori Young met to brainstorm and develop a plan. They approached Holzer Clinic and Holzer Medical Center for support. They then presented their desires to the school board to move forward with putting new schools on the ballot. From this. greater than one ~ear later, a highly popular and enormously successful cainpat~n evolved known as the "Red Dot." Ryan deserves credit for mitiating this successful campaign. The campaign has accomplished something many people thought would not be possible in our area. Furthermore, I appreciate the efforts of the steering com. mittee members, precinct leaders, anyone who prayed for the levy, displayed a magnet on a car or a sign in the yard, those who made financial contributions, marched in a parade, went door-to-door, registered voters, volunteered at the headquarters, passed out material, attended or spoke at arally or wrote a letter of support. For those of you who made the decision to vote "Yes" on Nov. 8, I applaud you.

A couple ' of weeks ago they voted to oppose military recruiting in the city's public schools including colleges. In the middle of a vicious war on terror, the City by the Bay says no to the people who volunteer to protect us. When I criticized the vote on radio and television, ihere · was wailing and gnashing of teeth. The basic thrust of the indignation was that San Francisco objects to the methods some military recruiters use. Of course, Proposition One on the bal· lot said nothing about that. It asked a simple question: should the city oppose ,mili· tary recruitment m schools? Six,ty percent of San Franciscans voted yes. That vote is flat-out disre· spectful to the American Armed Forces. Remember, the military has no political power. It goes where America's elected leadership onders it to go.

He recovered to close out the season on top, with a second championship and a spot among NASCAR's elite.

For the first time in a handful of years, the NASCAR season was about the people who make the sport spin 36 weeks a year.

He won five races - including one at his beloved Indianapolis Motor Speedway - and led the standings after nin e of the 10 Chase for the cha mpionship ruces. When it was over, he had earned his second title, joining Jeff Gordon.as the only full-time active driver with multiple championships. More important, he had earned some respect . around the garage.

Their offense has been struggling with some injuries, but their defense has been keeping them in games. They probably should have won four or five more games that they' ve been in.

They'll find out if that victory over Pittsburgh was an aberration or a turning point. "It was a great win for us, in the bigger sense of where we ' re at and how we're going forward," coach Brian Billick said. "Certainly it's big, particularly if that can prove to be a catalyst for us to go forward over the next six games arid be the kind of team that we anticipated being."

Anthony Herrera and Adam Goldberg, .Minnesota's starting guards this week, were also undrafted. "I really enjoy being around those college free agents, because they seem to have a different passion and approach to the profession,': Tice said. "When they get a chance, normally they do well with it." Ditto for Browns coach Romeo Crennel. "They have to work a lot harder for what" they get," Crennel said. "They just know that one bad step or one bad game, they might be out the door." Crennel 's quarterback, Trent Dilfer, might be in that same situation, though Crennel maintained this week that Dilfer is his starter and rookie Charlie Frye_ is his backup. Dilfer, with 10 touchdo.wns and 10 interceptions, r~nks 21st in NFL in passer rankings. Frye replaced him for three series in last Sunday's 22-0 win over Miami, and Dilfer wasn't happy about it. "If I get the urge to put Frye in to give him a series, I will do that,'' Crennel said. 'They understand that, and that's the way it goes if the coach makes a decision." The Vikings, trying to climb back in the playoff race after a miserable start, have won three' straight. "I think what happens is everyone starls to believe in the system that much more,'' said quarterback Brad Johnson, who is 3-0 since replacing injured Daunte Culpepper.

Although it' s too early to know what your taxable income will be in 2005, its not too late to plan strategies to lower it by means of legitimate tactics that can impact your tNal income, the expenses you may deduct against it, or both. You might want to hold .down your taxable income for 2005 by . deferring income 10 2006 and accelerating expenses when you have the opportunities, especially if you expect to be in a lower tax bracket next year.

The bookstore staff holds community service projects throughout the year, and usually holds one project during the Christmas season. This year, though, they wanted to work on two different efforts, in order to help more people in need. The bookstore just completed a canned food drive that raised several hundred pounds worth of food items for the Gallia County Outreach Center. The toy drive will raise toy items for the Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services to distribute to families in need of Christmas presents this December, while the coat drive will gather together winter clothing items for the students who need them at Southwestern Elementary School. Last winter, the · bookstore staff collected 200 coats in a coat drive and donated them to Rio Grande Elementary School. "We ' re looking for toys for children of all ages," said David Ding, manager of the Rio Grande Bookstore. . Anyone who donates a toy that is valued at $15 or more will receive a coupon for 25 percent off of a pur.chase at the store. "The bookstore was able io raise eight large bags full of toys for the Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services last year, and representatives of the human services agency · were ecstatic over the donation ," Ding said. Thi s year, the bookstore employees hope to help those living ·on low or fixed incomes that will have a hard time buying Christmas presents this year. If everyone who is able can donate a toy or two, it will make Christmas much brighter for area children this year, Toys ca n be dropped off for the toy drive at the Rio Grande Bookstore, located in the Rhodes Student Center on the Rio Grande campus. With the coat drive, Rio Grande Bookstore employees are hoping to raise winter coats, hats, gloves, mittens, scarves and other winter clothing items for area children. . Many area families do not have the money needed to pay for these essential winter clothing items, and the coat drive will benefit these families , especially the children. . Coats can be dropped off at designated points on the Rio · Grande campus i'n Wood Hall, the cafeteria in the Davis University · Center, Allen Hall, Anniversary Hall and the Rio Grande Bookstore. Rio Grande students, raeulty and staff are all invited to donate to the toy and coat drives while they are · on campus and all area res. idents are also encouraged to stop by the campus locations to donate toys or coats. The bookstore holds community service projects like the food, toy and coat drives in order to benefit area residents, and to teach the students the importance of these types of projects. "There's more to busi-· nes s than just making · money, " Ding sa id . "It's about being a good neigh- . bor, and the students learn about that while doing these projects." · Ding was impressed that the Rio Grande students wanted to take on two community service projects during the holidays thi s year, and said t,hey did a good job planning and coordinating the effort. "This is all their doing," Ding said , The outreach efforts are great learning experiences for the . students while they are in college, and they benefit the community as well. The student s learn from the projects·. area resi dents who donate toy s receive coupons to save · money at the bookstore . and most · importantly, area 'children will receive coats. winter clothing and Christmas presents thi s year.

Tracy Flick in "Election" one really is. Director James Mangold ("Girl, Interrupted") - who wrote the script with Gill Dennis based on Cash's autobiographies and years of interviews with Johnny and June before their deaths in 2003 - takes us through tl1e genesis and evolution of the Man in Black's legendary. influential musical career. Admittedly, it is goosebump-inducing to hear him hesitantly begin "Folsom Prison Blues" before gaining contidence during an audition with Sun Records' Sam Phillips (Dallas Roberts), and to hear him utter those famous words -"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash"- as he nervously takes the stage for the first time .

While the movie Jakes some of the action to the streets and balconies, alleys and side. walks, it still feels cloistered, with no strong sense that the story truly has moved off the stage into the real world. Columbus has the grandest city in the world to shoot in, but far too much of the action is in static locations. The musical numbers suffer for their stagy presentation in this loft apartment or that squatter's flat. When Columbus does move things outdoors, the settings often look stirteally cheap, like backJot copies of New York streets, even though cast and crew did a fair amount of shooting at actual exteriors throughout the city. The music and lyrics of "Rent" creator Jonathan larson, who died as the show was going into previews in . 1996, are performed with gusto by the cast, most of them veterans of the original Broadway production. · Yet the hard-rock arrangements Columbus chose to back the songs are thin, boring, mechanical instrumentations whose cheesy rhythms are an insult to the passion of the vocals. · · A modern update of Puccini's opera "La Boheme, "Rent" centers on a group of bohemian pals and lovers determined to live for art and individuality in a' 1980s world of commerce that views their kind as expendable. .

PAWElEK OSU EXTENSION GALLIA COUNTY Got your buck picked out? An age-old controversy that has, so far, evaded even the best .whitetail biologists in the country is future antler growth of whitetails - those having spike antlers as yearlings versus yearlings with three or more points as their first set of antlers. This issue . has been a particular point of contention among dr ; r hunters and managers for many years. Results of various. studies on captive whitetails have produced recommendations ranging from removing all spike-antlered yearlings as inferior individuals to complete protection of all yearling deer no matter the amount of antler growth in their first vear. Inferior, in this case, refers to an animal that has less potential for future antler growth than other members of, the same age group do. In trying to grow the highest quality animals, only the animals believed to have· the greatest potential for good antlef production are desired. If an antler tyfe with low growth potentia can be identified at an early age, it would seem a good idea to remove these animals before they make a substantial contribution to the breeding population. The genetics for poorqu~lity antlers would not be sustained in the population. The question is, can this really be done? Numerous studies have been conducted on the pre· dictability of antler growth in whitetails. Results of the two most well known studies seem to contlict. Studies by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) r.ersonnel suggested that sptkes on yearling whitetails may be an antler type with low potential for antler growth at maturity. Thus, their recommendation is to cull spikes as a management tool.to increase average antler size of bucks in that age group as they grow. Another well-known study done by Mississippi State University asserted spike antlers on yearling bucks could be related to many factors including age (when during the fawning season a deer is born) and nutrition.

"The same deadline applies to those who want to sell their remain, ing nine annual payments to a successor in order to receive a lump-sum payment." Producers who do not complete this process by Dec. 2 can arrange for the sale of their remaining eight payments beginning Jan. 17, 2006 .. Certain requirements must be met to qualify for lump-sum payments. More information on lump- sum payments is available online at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/toba cco/Default.htm or by calling the National. Tobacco Processing Center at (800) 673-2331.

The rules protect farm ani· mals by settmg standards for feeding and housing, said Ed Wengryn from the New Jersey Farm Bureau, which represents about"7,000 farmers. Wengryn said the practices cited in the lawsuit are not widespread. For example, most dairy farmers don't cut the tails off cows and those who do must be supervised · by a veterinarian. The groups also criticized the p,ractice of "forced molting, ' when chickens who have stopped laying eggs ~re starved so they'll start agam.

"The majority of .the gtain that comes to us is in semis or . in tractors with big wagons," said Jim Magnuson, general manager of Sully Cooperative Exchange in the central Iowa town of Sully. Iowa law previous!~ allowed a "special trucks ' exemption from inspections because the old trucks normally were used only by their owners and were parked except at harvest time. The exemption was repealed this year, intended to increase safety and preserve $1.5 million the state receives annually from the federal government for highway safety enforcement.

Va . Homegrown herbs are a natural choice for adding a special flavor to your holiday s - evcrylhing from giving food a boost to providing Christmas cheer when decorating. clearing the air or personalizing gift-gi~· ing. Stuff some sage and rosemary into the Thanksgiving turkey. Deck the nails and stairwells with holly and ivy. Steam up aromatic clouds of lavender and lemon verbena. Put cork on bottles of herbal vinegars, herbal cooking oils. h~rbal bath salts, herbal mustards, butters or teas. That· not only demonstrates the depth of your culinary creativity but it also trims the price of your presents. "It depends upon whom you talk to, but herbs are generally defined as any plant that has a use by humans other than (providing) food or fiber," said Scott Aker, unit leader, gardens, with the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington. 'They have medicinal uses, industrial uses, culinary uses, decorative uses.' ' Many herbs also have religious and holiday signifi " cance. "Roses·, for example," Aker said. "Their petals once were commonly used for making rosary beads. It 's a laborious process." The Druids of ancient Britain cherished holly for its permanence. The deep green of its leaves persist even through the coldest and darkest days of winter. · Others valued holly for its decorative aspects whi le a so me atlached Christian symbolism to th e tree 's berries and blossoms. Ivy symbolizes fri endship while rosemary is calleu the herb of remembrance. "Lcg~nd has it the Virgin Mary and Jose ph when fleeing Egypt stopped in the desert under a rosemary bush."' said James Blythe, who owns 'and operates the Golden Owl Herb Farm at Sumerduck, Va. "Mary put her· blue cloak over the bush . to dry and lhe color of its · flowers changed forever from white to blue." Herbs can be annual, perennial or woody. They have been used to augment flavors, add aromas and pro' ide colors since the days of the Egyptian pharaohs, yet they seem to have fallen from favor in this country - at least until recently. "People now can go into the supermarket and buy whole plants that are packaged," ·said Aker. "A few years ago, it was just dried herbs. Beyond parsley, you couldn't fond anything fresh. Families ure cooking healthi- mary, prefer being transplanted from pots or cuttings. Many herbs are winter hardy and will continue growing after weathering a few hard frosts. That includes oregano. ·sage and rosemary, among others . That trait also makes them strong candi dates for holiday ttse . Some, like basil, sweet bay and scented geraniums, require attention if they are to be of any use Juring the cold month s. You can dry them or freeze them for later. Tie the plants into compact bundles and hang them tlpside down . Or grind some of the culinary varieties into a coarse powder for usc in shakers by the stove. Think thyme, rosemary, mint, oregano and sage, among others. You also can bring some potted herbs inside to winter over. Monitor temperatures, however, when making them over into houseplants. "There are two key words here : cool and bright," Aker said. "If you have an unheated suoroom, that's perfect. Most herbs like full sun but cool nights. They also want e~·· . to be little dry between waterings" . People also arc growing If you decide to keep your 1.11ore things outdoors despite the longtime uend toward hardier herbs outside, ·then urb;mization , he said. ~ 'We cover them whenever cold have smaller and smaller lots, weather is forecast.

The groundbreaking. scheduled to begin at II a.m. tomorrow is an event about which officials at the center- are extremely excited; including MOYC Director Homer Preece. "This expansion is w.ay overdue.

The . expansion does mean the loss of 28 parking spaces behind the center. but Preece said 50 new spaces will be added to the newer parking lot IJC >ide the building. In addition to adJing more space. Preece said this ex pansion will help the ce nter better cater to its students. "This brings 10 the forefront the opJJ011tmity .for (students) to tak,e the upper-level chemistry and biology classes.'' he said, adding that students now will be able to -take chemistry and physics at the center mther than having to use labs and equipment at Point Pleasant High School or travel to Huntington. He added that 'everyone will be welcome at the ceremony, and a host of people have been invited, including Corigresswoman Shelley Marshall Moore Capito. University President Dr. Stephen J. Kopp. several vice presidents of the university, elected legislative officials, and state senators and delegates. Located on Sand Hill Road, the center tlrst opened its doors in the fall of 19'14.
