Two of those places are Bradford Tree. Farm on Cherry Ridge Road in Pomeroy a·nd Weber's Christmas Trees on Main Street in Rutland. Bradford Tree Farm was founded by the late Wallace and Murl Bradford in 1947 with their first harvest in 1953. The Bradfords grew the .trees on the farm on Cherry Ridge Road and then sold them in their front yard in Middleport The Bradfords eventually moved to the 100 acre farm that now grows Christmas trees on 65 acres. 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.

The genetic makeup of the dog -· in this case a boxer named Tasha · -· has been deciphered and should help identify genes that make both dogs and people vulnerable to cancers. heart disease. diabetes. epilepsy. blindness. deafness and even some psychiatric disorders, scientists said Wednesday. The work is the first virtually complete decoding of the species and illuminates the blueprint that shapes everything from the smallest Chihuahua lo the biggest Great Dane. "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog. it's too dark to read," quipped Dr. Francis Collins. director of the National Human ·Genome Research Institute, crediting the late comic Groucho Marx. "We're here to unveil the book of the dog." Collins and other researchers made their a11nouncement at a Boston d!Jg show. The research, overseen by the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, was published in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. The researchers used the DNA of a family pet whose owners wish to remain anonymous. The female boxer named Tasha was chose n from more .than I00 candidates because her DNA looked especially amenable to identifying its 2.4 billion chemical building blocks. But it turned out that any dog would do. said Eric Lander. director of the Broad Institute .

At the DNA level, two randomly chosen dogs differ only about as much as two randomly chosen people, yet the variation in appearance, size and behavior in dogs is "just mind-boggling," Lander said in an earlier interview. "How is it within one narrow gene pool you can produce Chihuahuas and Great Danes?" he asked. Much of the answer involves differences in turning gene activity on and off, he said, and further study could improve the understandi ng of that. The new work also. identified signposts along the canine DNA that will help spot genes that predispose dogs to certain diseases, some of which they share with humans. In fact, it inay be vastly easier to find disease genes in dogs than in people. Intensive breeding has left its mark in the dog geno,ne so that linding DNA regions with disease genes "is like hitting the side of a barn," Lander said. Such -resean.:h should benefit dogs and their owners. said William Truesdale. a board member of the American Kennel Club's Canine Health Foundation, which put $2 million into the dog DNA project. "We're trying to erase these genetic frailties" by screening dogs for disease genes prior to breeding, he said. That effort is in its infancy, but over time, many of these genes can be eliminated through breeding. he said.

'fhe three-way comparisons also showed that some genetic features found in humans but not mice aren't really unique to people, but also appear in dogs, he said. "The more species we look at, the more, frankly, we find that humans are not exceptional here," Lander said . Researchers also estimated that dogs have 19,300 ·genes, almost all of them canine versions of genes found in people. Prior studies have indicated that people have about 3,000 more; but Lander said the dog analysi s "is leading us to question whether those are in fact real human genes."

Marshals fly undercover, and which planes they ' re on is a closely guarded secret. Until Wednesday, no marshal had fired a weapon, though they had been involved in scores of incidents. Rep.

Ford spokesman Tom Hoyt confirmed the board ' was holding a regularly schcd ulcQ_ meeting and one of the items en the agenda was the restructuring plan. He wouldn 't disCuss any details of the plan, saying it hasn't been finalized: . Ford is expected to reveal the plan on Jan. 23, according to United Auto Workers Vice P'resident Gerald . Bantam, who is in charge of negotiaLions with Ford. Bantam said tle had no details of the plan. But UAW President Ron ' ., Gettelfinger noted Ford will -have to get the UAW's approval to close plants under the union's contrac t with the automaker. Ford has been struggling with declining U.S. market share, high labor costs and excess plant capacity. The company reported a $1.2 billion pretax. loss in . its North American automotive operations in the third quarter. Ford is only using around 86 percent of its North American assembly plant capacity, compared to rival Toyota Motor Corp., which is running at full capacity. Ford has 23 assembly plants in North America. In September, Ford Chairman and CEO Bill Ford named Mark Fields president of the Americas for Ford in the company's .~eco nd manageme'nt shake' up in less tha·n two years. Bill Ford said Fields was helping craft a restructuring plan that would include "significant" job cuts and plant closures. Ford had a total of 122,877 North American employees at the end of last year. The Dearborn ~based automaker has around 324,000 employees worldwide. Ford has said it plans to lay off 2;750 salaried workers this year and 4.000 additional salaried workers at the beginning of next year. Ford shares rose 12 cents' to $8.23 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange: They have been trading in a 52-week range of $7.57 to $ 15.

Laird was the author of President Richard Nixon's tirst-term strategy of gradual "Vietnamization" - with'. drawal of u.s. troops and a handover to Vietnamese forces - and his article calls for " lraqiization" of the current war. This seems to be the Bush strategy. What Laird .also . argues in the article, though , is that the United States lost · the Vie-tnam War only because Congress voted to cut off funds to South Vietnam. For Laird, "the 'cut and run ' crowd ultimately prevailed' and our allies were betrayed after all of our work to set• them on their feet. Those same voices would now have us cut and run from Iraq ; assuring the failure of the fledgling democracy there and damning the rest of th.~ . Islamic world to chaos fomented by extremists."

Ohio gets solo grant from federal job training initiative CLEVELAND (AP) President Bush traveled to Ohio last year to highlight job retraining programs at community colleges, but the state has landed just a single grant from the $250 million initiative, half of which has been tied up in political squabbling. · Bush promoted the Community:based Job Training Program at Owens Community .College in Tqledo on Jan. 22, 2004, hours after his State of the Union address and at the outse t of an election year in which Ohio assured Bush of a second term. . Of the $125 million available, U.S. Labor Department spokesman David James said Ohio has been awarded one grant, $1.86 million to Cuyahoga C.ommunity , College in Clevelfnd to help train nurses and health-care workers. The two-year college said it plans to announce details in coming weeks. "I am gla<! to see that Tri-C will receive a grant from the Labor Depanment for important job training. Buf while this is a positive step, it is only a tiny drop in the deep ocean of what our communitf needs," said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Cleveland Democrat on the House com- mittee overseeing job training · and a frequent Bush critic. . Only half of the $250 milhan. promoted by Bush was avatlable, The Plam Dealer said. Bush said Monday in North Carol~na that the actual a~p~oved ftgu;e was $125 nullton. . . . The other $125 m~lhon has been bogged down m squabbh~g over how the admmtstratJOn spends tts JOb:tramtng money. The admmtstr~tton and a number of Repubhcans want to shift programs to the state.s. The $125 million that made it to the program is not new spending. Rather, the Depanment of Labor; with help from Congress. took it from other job programs to make it available to community colleges, according to Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill as well as labor leaders. "It was basically a shell game," said Jane McDonaldPines, an AFL-CIO work force policy specialist. James callect the money "discretionary funding.': James said Wednesday that the administration had asked Congress for $250 million for the program last year and renewed the request for the current spe nding year. "The administration has always believed and continues to believe this should be a $250 million program," James said. In Ohio, manufacturing employment went from just over I million· in October 2000 to 822,200 in October 2005. Some community colleges say they are responding even without Bush's $250 million. Owens Community College says that while it hoped Bush would follow up his speech by giving a competitive grant to the work he proposed there, it initiated an integrated technology program on its own last spring.

The deal mark s a return to the sport for ABCIESPN and the furthering of a long-term relationship for TNT. ABC/ESPN had been shut out of the last TV contract, a six-year. $2.8 billion deal that began in 2001 and split the sc hed ule a mong Fox, NBC and the network's siSter station s. When N BC declined to extend its contract with NASCAR, it opened the door for the networks, owned by The Walt Disney Co., to negotiate. ABC was one of the ftrst networks to telev iSe stock car racmg m the 1960s, and ES PN introdu ced fla g- toflag race telecasts tn the 1980s. The network was NASCAR's leading carrier through the 1990s, but has not aired a race smce 2000, when it lost the rights to and N AlA Scholar Athlete awards in 2D04. She is likely to repeat those honors in 2005 Those awards wtll be announced later in December. · Kiesling career numbers: 404 games played, 927 kills (2.3 kpg.), . 164 attack percentage, 328 digs, 106 blocks and 178 block ass ists. Rio posted a record of 40 wins and 95 losses during her four years on the court.

Although it might be easy to find programmmg on race days, everything else could be a chore for the rabid fan because of the technicalities of the agreements. For instance : - Speed Channel will atr the NASCA R Craftsman Truck Series except for two races, whtch will be broadcast by Fox. - Nextel C up qualifying and practices will be broadcast on a combination of Speed, ESPN and ESPN2. - Speed will broadcas t the prelimmary races he ld prior to the Daytona 500. - In addition to the allstar. race, Speed also gets the Pit Crew Challenge. Spreading the content around was the only way NASCAR could make deals affordable for its partners. Both Fox and NBC lost money on the last deal and in declining to extend its contract, NBC said the value the network put · on the NASCAR package was far less than the asking pnce.

Attorney General's Office said Wednesday the matter is still considered "an ongoing investigation," and the agency does not comment on those cases. "We can't provide any more details at this time," Beasley said. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal investigation, an agency of the Attorney General's office, has been investigating .the theft of the cash evidence since May, when Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle confirmed it had been stolen from two locations in the sheriff's office. At that time, Beegle said he immediately referred the investigation to the BCI, llnd asked the agency's investigator to withhold details of the probe until it is completed. He said he asked only for a report when the investigation is completed, and has received no information about its findings. Beegle said the BCI investigator has interviewed sheriff's . employees and Middleport police officers in an effort to determine who took the cash. which Beegle said was being held as evidence in two pending crimi nal drug cases.

Please see Cancer, AS BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT - In their native country of Mexico, poinsettias grow wild and are known as "flo res ·de noche buena" or "flowers of •the holy night." If properly cared for, they are one of the longest blooming house plants available. Ed and Ruth Durst of Ed's Greenhouses on Noble Summit Road recommend that poinsettias be kept in a ·cool spot at between 60 to 65 degrees to prolong the color. Also, place the plant away from hot or cold drafts and protect it from cold winds. Do not sit the plant next to heaters or on top of televisions as this shortens their life span. Another mistake people make is keeping the poinsettia too wet. The Dursts rec·BY BRIAN J. REED ommend watering the plant BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.

AS POMEROY - Crossroads Counseling Center of Albany has beeri branching out to reach more of Meigs County by hosting free lectu'res on emotional disorders such as eating disorders and now depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Crossroads counselor Donna Adams will speak at the informal lecture on Tuesday. Dec. 13 at the Pomeroy Library where refreshments will also be served. The lecture will be for anyone, including those with depression or SAD, friends, parems, counselors, medical professional s, social workers, teachers and clergy. Adams said she thinks of depression as she would any other physical disorder. Depression can cause physical as well as emotional symptoms and can be treated with medication and/or behavior therapy. As for SAD it is a form of depression occurring at certain seasons or the year, especially when the individual has less exposure to sunlight. SAD also has successful forms of treatm.cnt, including light therapy and exercise. Depression and SAD can often become acute around the ·holidays. increasing stress, fatigue and disappointment. Adams said some advice she will be sharing at her lecture on how to avoid a blue Christmas would be for people to make reali stic expectations and pace themselves through tasks such as holiday shopping, cooking and visits with family and friends. "Don ' t take on more responsibility tll;m you can handle." Adams said. "Make a list and prioritize important activities to make tasks more manageable. Don ' t put all your effort into one day, spread around your holiday · cheer." Another aspect of the holidays that can be depressing for individual s is the realization that some old traditions -have changed due to the loss of a loved one . · Adams suggested those individuals feeling depressed about the holidays because of a loss not compare this holiday to what she.called, "The good old days." · "Try something new and ~elcbratc in a· new way," Adams added .
