"After all this torture that we went through, would anybody still have an appetite to eat?" she said.

Clement said the military is receiving nothing more than apy · other donor would el<pect. : A few justices. induding David Souter. worried that the free speech rights uf law schools mulct be hindered by Congress' action of tying funding to military recruiters' access. 'The law schools are taking a position on First Amendment grounds, and that position is in interference with military recruiting, no question about it," Souter said. More court members seemed concerned about mili'tary recruitment in the postSept. II world. Federal financial support of colleges tops $35 billion a year, and many college leaders say they could not forgo that money. · About a ~alf dozen supporters of the law, all members of the same Topeka, Kan., family, waved signs, with slogans like "America is Doomed," and ye lled a1 reporters and passers-by in front of the' court before the argument.

Immediately after the argument. the su·preme Court released an audio tape to news organizations because of interest in. the case. Cameras are not allowed in court. Many law schools forbid · the participation of recruiters' from public agencies and private companies that have discriminatory policies. Law schools have "a Hobson's choice: Either the university must forsake millions of dollars of federal fund s largely unrelated to the law school, or the law school must abandon its commitment to fight discrimination," justices were told in a nting b~ the Association . of American Law Schools. The federal law, known ·as the Solomon Amendment after its first' congressional sponsor, mandates that uni versities, including their law and medical schools and other branches. give the military the same access as other recruiters or forfeit money from federul agencies like the Education.

Full disclosure not required after compliments on wigs DEAR ABBY: I wear wigs and hairpieces because I have thinning hair. They are always clean and wellgroomed, and I have been told they look very nice . That' s the problem! People - strangers, co-workers often approach me ·and say things like , ''Your hair always looks so nice. Who's' your hairdresser?" or "How do you keep your hair looking so perfect in this humidity?" or "Do you color your own hair?" I'm nut ashamed of the fact that I wear ·wigs. bu( I don't feel I should have to explain it to total strangers. On the other hand, I don 't feel right just saying thank you. I feel I'm deceiving peorle. And when I tell people I m wearing a wig, the compliments stop. What should I say to these people, Abby'! - BEWIGGED AND BEWILDERED IN OHIO DEAR BE-WIGdED: You are no more obligated to reveal to a stran'ger or casual acquaintance that· you're wearing a wig than you would be to te II someone who compliments · you on your figure that it's really silicone or sea sponges .

It 's not dishonesty ; it's discretion. DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced more than four years . The marriage was an extremely unpl easant chapter 'in my life, but I have moved on.

" ••• ·• lf you want it done right, plane ahead The airlines seem to think · the reason they are going out of business has something to do with the high price of gas and the brutal competitiveness of the business . I wonder if ihere 's more to it than that. Could it be that when I showed up at my local airport for a flight to Florida this week there was no one behind the ticket counter? I don' t mean they were busy, I don't mean the computer was down, I don ' t mean they were not doing their jobs quickly and efficiently. I mean I was standing in a line with 40 other people for 20 minutes and no one knew where the counter clerks for this airline were. The counter cler~s for Airline A were there and the clerks for the Airline B were there, but. not the clerks for the airline I was t1ying. The clerks for the other airlines and the security people didn't seem to know or care. It's not my job, man. I tried to call the airline on my cell phone to.let them know what was happening . H.ere I was, at their counter, in a niajor metropolita'n airport and in none of their literature, in · none of their promotional material was there a number I could call to reach a real Jim Mullen live person and say, '"Did you know thar no one' s behind your counter?'' I could report lost luggage. 1. could report missed connections. But of all the messages I could leave, "Press 8 to hear your Frequent Flyer points" was as close as they got to my current travel situ ation. Maybe thi s airline went bankrupt last night and we hadn ' t heard about it. Stranger things have happened. But no one else in line had heard anything about it. While there were no clerks at the check-in desk there were four automated checkin machines. I told the machine what t1i ght I'm not going to be able to catch today and how many pieces of luggage I was nor goi ng to be able to check because .there was no human here to check it in and who would not be traveling with me and the machine gave me a boarding pass. This was the most unique money -saving plan ever conceived by an airline. It was bold , it was unique, it was thinking outside the box . Charge me for a ticket, make me drive to the ai rporl , cheat me, wreck my ~aca­ tion. then send me home. Sure, the airline loses money every time they do this, but they hope to make it up with all the repeat business. If you work for this airline, if you ' re a flight attendant or a pilot,' don' t wqrry about it. It's a pretty good bel that youi· job is not going to be outsourced to Mexico · or India.

Huron County officials had heard rumors about the children sleeping in cages two years before they were removed from the custody of Michael and Sharen Gravelle, according to earlier testimony in the Gravelles' custody hearing Tuesday. Insurance agent Edward Clunk said that he visited the Gravelles in summer 2004 to sell them life and accident He insurance policies. observed two children- one sleeping in a cubbyhole and another in what he described as a cage. . "I've been in thousands of homes. ... This was something just a little bit out of the ordinary," Clunk said, adding he did not file a report because he did not believe the children were being abused. "I thought it was very admirable for them to ' adopt children of that nature that nobody wanted," he said. The children, ages I to 14, have health and behavioral problems such as fetal alcohol syndrome and pica, a disorder in which children eat nonfood items such as rocks or din. Clunk, of Sylvania in nonhwest Ohio, said he was contacted by law enforcement and Department of Job and Family Services officials about a year later, · after he discussed the Gravelles with another couple living nearby. But he was surprised to learn that he was listed as the official reponer in .children's Judge Timothy Cardwell , of the juvenile division of Huron County Common Pleas Coun, will determine based on the hearing whether the children were abused or neglected. If the allegations are not proven, the Gravelles, who live near rural Wakeman in northern Ohio, could regain custody. · Myers repeatedly criticized Johnson's repons on the situation and accused her of por· traying the Gravelles in a negative light. He questioned why, two years after hearing about the cages, the county suddenly had to remove the children from the home. Johnson, who testified for three hours as the first witness, said she determined the children were in an abusive situation and in danger of hatrn. Johnson believes the Gravelles loved their children but also intentionally harmed them by locking eight of them in cages, she said.

In round one, there were two deals (lor once they did not come in th"rees) in which declarers found similar clever plays, allhough they were lucky to be playing against oppo· nents who were still suffering f1om jet lag - at least, that was probably !heir excuse at the time. The first deal occurred in the Seniors Bowl, for players aged at least 56. After Soult1 opened one spade, West overcalled with ·the Unusual No-Trump, showing a minor two·suiter. Norltl doubled because he had length In bOth minors, althougt1 his point-count was a l ~tle lower than would normally be eJCpected. Following ~his double. North-South will either buy the contract or double the opponents tor penalties. East gave "preference': for diamonds, and South passed, happy to hear North's penalty double. Now Wesl, despite the· warning bell of North's double, continued with th ree hearts, showing his extra values and heart fragment. strongly implying 0-3·5·5 shape. Wt1en North and East passed, South leapt to four spades. West cashed th ree red-suit winners before shifting to a club. The declarer was Steen Moiler, a world grand master from Denmark. He won the fourth trick with dummy's dub ·10 and called for the spade sjJC. Wh en East smoothly played the lour, South put on his two! Suddenly declarer had no trump loser and 10 wirmers. That was clever, but nolice East's care. less play. The seven and six ol spades were on the board, and East had them surrounded by the 1()-9-8-5-4. How could it cost to cover the six witt1 the eight?

Page 86 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysenttnel.com Wednesday, December 7, 2005 Reds agree to deal Casey to Pittsburgh for Williams PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Cincinnati Reds reached a prelimi1\UJY agreement Tuesday night to trade first baseman Sean Casey to the Pittsburgh Pirates for left-hander Dave Williams, a deal that· addresses each team' s biggest need. The deal is subject to players passing physicals, an official on a team in volved in the trade said. speaking on condition of anonymity because the swap han not been finalized. Casey. a three-time All-Star and career .305 hitter who is among the most popular players on the Reds, batted .3 12 . la st year with nine homers and 58 RBis . A year earlier, he matched his career high of 99 RBis and hit 24 homers, one shy of his best The 31-year-old Casey was acquired by Cincinnati from Burned fromPageBl Oeyils held on to the narrow 16; 141ead. l3ut the Blue Devils could not continue shooting so effecintly from the field as Gallia Academy only managed four points in the second period, while Chtsapeake put up 17 points l~d. by P.J. Rase and Brent Ransbottom, both with six poirits each. After scoring only their second field goal of the period with seven seconds left in the half, Gallia Academy Cleveland in March · 1998. He is owed $8.5 million next season and the Reds may pick up part of the contract, the official sa id, Having grown up in suburban Pittsburgh, Casey hit the first home run at PNC Park, an 8-2 Cincinnati win in April 2001. He went 4-for-4 with a two-run homer, two-run double and five RBis in that game. He has 10 homers and 52 RBis in 99 career games against Pittsburgh . Coincidentally, Casey 's 2005 · season ended because of a concussion that occurred 'in a Sept 16 game in PNC Park. As (hird baseman Edwin Encarnacion's throw pulled Casey off the bag at first , Humberto Cota 's left elbow accident<\lly struck Casey in the face. Casey lay motionless for about I0 minutes before being taken off the field on a stretcher. First base was a problem area as the Pirates lost 95 games and general manager Dave Littlefield called it his chief priority before the winter meetings began .

The Bradford's daughter Carolyn and her husband John Ketchka .took over the operation .in 1992 and it remains a family business. The Bradford Tree Farm has become a tradition and downright pilgrimage for families who return to the farm each year to pick out that special tree .Not only do families get to p1ck thetr tree from acres of trees, they get to be hands on and cut it themselve s. Some families even go on a wagon ride through the farm on weekends to find that tree. The wagon rides are complete with bow saws.and there are employees on the farm to help if the families need assis·tance. The farm sells Scotch and White Pines, Colorado and Black Hill s Spruce and Balsam Fir trees. Mr. Ketchka says that the farm is now working on serving its fourth generation of families. As for what makes the perfeel tree Mr. Ketchka says, "The perfect tree depends on who's looking for it." He added that every person has a different definition of what makes a perfect tree. As for what kind of · Christmas tree his family usually gets from all those acres of trees to choose from , Ketchka said they usually get BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - This weekend the Fur Peach Ranch will hold its Eighth Annual .
