Afterward, River Valley coacl\ Harvey Brown delightfully spoke about his team's effort against Rucker and the Panthers. "It was a hard battle the whole way," said Brown. "We knew that Rucker was going to beat on us, and we took our Jumps, but we got it done." Early on ; it appeared that the Raiders wouldn't have to worry too much about Rucker, jumping out to an 18·9 first quarter advantage . RVHS hit half of its 18 shc\t attempts though eight minutes and forced nine turnovers in establishing that lead, while Chesapeake hit only 3·of.7 field goal tries and yielded only two takeaways over that same span. Momentum was clearly on River Valley 's side headed into the second period, but an O·for·8 shooting effort and nine turnovers allowed the Lady Panthers to go on an 8·3 comfortable 22 point lead and did exactly what was needed to put the game away. Buffalo didn't help matters with their poor free throw shooting, where they hit one· for·l 0 from· the line on their . way to six points in the final period of play. Only KeithAnn Sayre scored in the double digits during the game, grabbing 22 points along with four . rebounds and five steals. Derifeild scored eight points , Tulley had six points and four rebounds, Kayanna Sayre had four points and 12 rebounds, Keyes had four points and Jessica Hoffman scored three points and had six rebounds. . Buffalo was led by Chelsea Brown with eight points, Brittany Herdman with five, Cassi Conley with . four, Allison Hodges and Kellie Lewis with three and Callie Herdman · and Brooke Withrow with two points. Brown and Conley also run as they pulled to within 21·17 at break. Rucker scored all eight CHS points in the quarter and had II at halftime. At the break, RVHS shot just 9·of·26 from the floor and was 3·of4 at the free throw stripe, while Chesapeake sank 7·Of·15 from the field and was a dismal 2-of·IO at the foul line. The guests also had 16 giveaways at half, four more tnan the Raiders. l11e hosts held a 15·12 rebounding edge as well. .

The Lady Panthers contin· ued to claw away at the lead until they tied the game at 39 with 3:02 remaining. River Valley, which never trailed in the game, countered with a 6·3 run that scaled the deal on the win. Brown was pleased with how his squad finished out the contest, but he was concerned that his team couldn 't put CHS away after jumping out to such an early lead. "We played in spurts tonight.

No, wait, Jet me just calm down here. Some readers may not even know what I'm talking about. Some readers are proqably living in backward, soy beaninfested regions that don't . even have the incredible convenience of "call waiting." So let me explain how it works: If you're on the phone with Party A, and Pany B tries to .call you, both you and Party A will hear an interruption noise, which alerts you to press your disconnect button so you ca n talk to Pany B, who, trust me. has absolutely nothing · important to tell you. so you say you'll call . back and re sume talking with Party A for 10 full sec' onds, l!nlil you hear another interruption noise indicating that you have a vitally unimponunt call from Party C, and so on down the alphabet until Party A decides to drive over to your house and strangle you.

Let's say I'm having dinner with my wife and 8-year-old son, and my wife and [ are discussing the kind of important issue that normal, ·mature married adults discuss at dinner: ME: It does WHAT when you flush it? · MY WIFE: .It makes kind of a banging sound. ME: A banging sound? MY WIFE: Yes. And there are these little like electric sparks coming. OUR SON (interrupting): How come. MY WIFE: Robert, please don't interrupt. ME: Sparks? MY WIFE: Yes, and they 're. OUR SON (interrupting): But I was just gonna ask you. MY WIFE: Wait, Raben! ME: There are sparks? MY WIFE: Yes, they 're coming from. OUR SON: But this is IMPORTANT! MY WIFE: ALL RIGHT, Raben. What IS it? OUR SON: How come my left ann tastes saltier than my right arm? " Call waiting" is very similar to this. It's kind of like an electronic 8-year-old ........ ~·· . ~ ,. ..... .. .... -. , -, ~. - ..... -. who is simply incapable of shutting up while you are conversing )¥ith somebody else. The differences are that I) an 8-year-old does not have the gall to charge you a monthly fee for this service; and 2) an 8-year-old can interrupt you only if he's in the same room·, whereas with the incredible capabilities of "call waiting," your conversations can be interrupted by everybody in the entire world who has access to a telephone . It doesn't even have to be a person. A computer can interrupt you. In fact, through a combination of "call waiting" and "auto-dialing," it is now technically possible for your telephone conversations to be interrupted by a trained chicken. And whom do we have to thank for this amazing communications breakthrough? My guess is that it c~me from the prestigious Institute of Irritating Technology. whose hard-working staff of former Nazi medical researchers also developed: the beeper, the non-openable fast-food ketchup packet that contains a total of four ketchup molecules; the machine that inserts those hateful little cards that are forever falling out of magazines; and the emp.ty selfservice elevator that for no apparent reason closes its doors just as you get to it, then emits a clearly audible computerized chuckle.

WASHINGTON - After role-playing an outbreak of pandemic flu , federal officials said Saturday that sav· ing lives and containing the economic damage will require more planning in local communities and. increased production of vaccines and medications. "This is a'time for us to be informing but not inflaming. It's a time· for us to inspire preparation but not panic," Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt told reponers at the White House. About '20 Cabinet secretaries and government officials spent four hours testing the government's re~diness for any flu outbreak. . "We have time to become the first generation, literally, in the hi story of mf!n to do sbmething to be prepared for <\', pandemic," Leavitt said. · President Bush's homeland ·security adviser, Fran Townsend said that in the little tinie left before lawmakers adjourn for the year, Congress should approve the $7.1 billion in emergency tlu preparedness funds that the president has requested. But the prospects for the request are not clear, as cons~rvatrves in the House oppose rubber-stampin g it without finding spending cuts elsewhere . in the budget. S~nate Majority Leader Bill F,rist, R-Tenn., has advocated f<;~r the money. : "Days matter," said White Flouse deputy press secretary T~ent Duffy, . Though in town for the weekend, the president did t\\Jt panicipate in the drill. While it was going on around a C-shaped table in a large room in the White House complex, Bush left for nearby suburban .Mary land to ride 'hls mountain bike for more than an hour. Vice President Dick Cheney was in hi s White House office for part Of the time, but also did not attend. .• Duffy said Bush would be briefed in detail, but didn't need to take part because hi s role as director of the effon to prepare and respond is already well-defined. . "The president 's been focu sed on th is for years," he said . "It is impossible to have the kind of candor and open di sc ussion and a useful prep~redness exercise with the president and/or th e vice president in the room."

Your bouse is decorated-check, your tree is trimmed-check, and your presents are \\!rapped-check. ·The menu for the party is complete·check. All that is left is serving the feast. : As you are checking off your holiday to-do list, the Gallia County Health Department would 'like to remind you of four useful tips to follow so that the food you serve at your party is safe. ·. First and foremost, wash . hands and surfaces often. Bacteria, parasites and viruses can be spread from your h~nd s to countettops, to the {Qod you are .preparing, to atensils. and to cutting boards. If handling raw meat ' .or poultry. wash hands and surfaces immediatel y after y[>u have finished. Wash h~nds using hot. soapy water. Remember to alway s wash your hands after handling food, after using the restroom. changing diapers, and after handling pets. . Avoid cross contamination. Cross contamination is lhe W,ay in which bacteria. paraSites, and viruses arc spread from one food product to another.' Separate rmv meats, poultry and seafood from ready-to-cat food s in your grocery cart and in your refrigerator. Do not use the same cutting board for raw Q'leats and fresh vegetables. tJ_se one board for raw meats, 4&> ~WiTEII. SJI\S' another for poultry, and another for vegetables. If you must use the same board, wash and sanitize after each use. Use plastic or nonporous cutting boards. When finished with cutting boards, wash with hot, soapy water and then sanitize. Sanitize using a bleach solution made of one tablespoon unscented bleach and one gallon water. Always wash hands, surfaces, and utensils after handling raw meat, poultry .and seafood. Using separate plates and utensils fur raw and cooked foods is another way to avoid cross contamination. Be sure and cook .foods to the proper temperatures. Cooking foods to a· high enough temperature will kill the harmful pathogens that are responsible for foodborne illness. To make sure your foods are cooked to the correel temperature, use a clean metal-stemmed probe thermometer that will measure the internal temperature of cooked foods. The table · below will help you make sure that the internal temperature of the fopd vou are cooking is correct.' Eggs need to be cooked until the yolk and white are finn. If your recipe calls for raw or partially cooked eggs, make sure the eggs you are usi ng are pasteurized. It will be marked on the carton if the eggs are pasteurized. Remember 10 keep hot foods hot. · · Hot foods must be held at 135°F or above. Important: Use the two hour rule.

"When sermons are broadcast from coast to coast, the people will soon come to sense the true from the false in religious leadership and to know where may best be found actual Christianity. No longer may the narrow-minded person stand as the law and the prophets, infusing . misleading doctrine into simple minds, under the shadow of the cloth. Too many creeds have suffered because of their misrepresentation by little men dealing with the biggest of subjects." There were other issues in I922 that told of the birth of a "new era" in history. One of those dealt with a campaign by P.T. Wall to give housewives a day off. Said Wall in the Gallia Times in late April I922, "National and State laws protect fell)ale labor from rapacious employers, having in view. the fact that the ever succeeding next generation should .have .ll)others fitted for the sacred funciton of reproduction. The housewife cannot properly be pro' tected by Jaw, so it is up to them to protect themselves, the more efficently by organization. The woman who succeeds in forming and sustaining a plan . for a weekly 'Mothers Holiday' will go down down in history." One of Wall's ideas was the promotion of two meals a day instead of three. He also reminded his readers that the Spartans only ate one meal a day. Controversial "modern"type subjects in 1922 included the first licensing of dogs in Gallia County and the discussion of evolution by church groups. The famous Scopes trial would not come for three more years. One Comubus minister made headlines when he announced, "The story of the Garden of Eden is a 'fairy tale ."' His actual word was "myth," not fairy tale as reported by most newspapers. But to the scribes it was the same thing . Some of the rebuttals by other clergy were .like one from the pastor of the Patriot Methodist Church: "Men may believe they are in direct lineage from Mr. Monkey but we do not expect to claim him as our relative." · In March, I 922, a Rev. William Hardgrow claimed that he was "sainted and could do no wrong." Hardgrow had pastured a church near the. ice plant on FirSt Avenue where services filled with groans, screams and hallelujahs lasted until midnight. The police issued a curfew ordinance to the church making them cease at 9 p.m, Later Hardgrow was relieved of his pastoral duties for irreligiou s acts but he came to the church anyway only to be greeted with "a broad~ide of bitter language in )Nhich the .epithets of liar and hypocrite were directed against him." At the same time, there was a preacher in Rutland who di sappeared in a cloud, "a cloud of suspicions, that is." While evolution might have been proved by scientific evidence, it was hard to fathom .it through the · observing of human behavior in 1922. (James Sands is a .!pecial correspondent .for the .

The De~ember concert of the OVS is usually the most popular of every season. This is for good reason, t 0o; concert-goers can ex pec t new arrangements of familiar Christmas carols as well as other holiday pieces, like Scott Michal's "Candleglow" and Jeff Tyzik's "Skater's Overture. Ohio Valley Symphony fans young and old gathereq in' the Ariel's constantly improving theatre to share the experience. The performance began with Tyzik's arrangement of "Hark' The Herald Angels Sing," when members of the brass section assembled on either side of the stage and dueled with choruses of the familiar hymn. Following their bartling the rem aining fanfares, orchestra joined, fusing the first carol with "Joy to the World." The lights then dimmed dramatically as the "Joy to the · World" intra immediately thrust the audience into the Christmas spirit. With the lights low, the stage decorations were more visible. Garland and light s lined the stage, trees stoQd at the sides. and a large wreath hun g· suspended over the musicians. With the audience now com pletely submerged in the holiday atmosphere, . the haunting melody of "Greensleeves" crept from the stage.

An interesting addition to the night's program was the " lntroiiuction, March anct · Shepherd's Dance" from "Amah! and the Night Visitors" by Gian-Carlo Menotti. Menotti, who is known for his operas, composed "Amah!" with the purpose .of being recorded for a television special.

Michal, the symphony's composer-inresidence, explained that his piece was written for a generous friend . The man said hi s fondest memory of Christmas was the Christmas Eve service in church, when the congregation would light candles arid sang "Silent Night." In "Candleglow," Michal ,recreates the feeling of standing among your family and neighbors in a dim sanctuary, faces lit by the glow of the small candles. Through most of the piece, Michal teases us with "Silent Night," forcing the familiar carol to simply flicker, threatening to consume the whole composition . . The song then spreads' like fire itself, ultimately engulfing every corner of the stage and every instr,ument section until It dies down with the last glowing embers of melody. The performance left the quiet audience to reflect on their own 'Christmas memories. Katherine K. Davis's "Carol of the Drum" and Mykola Leontovich 's "Carol of the Bells" followed. Maestro ·Ray Fowler and the OVS helped listeners envision traveling carolers, donning mittens and scarves. "Drum" featured a lovely oboe duet, and percussionists started the piece with handbells in "Bells." The audience kept the carolers in mind dilr· ing "Christmas Medley," composed by Arthur Harris. The medley was a whirlwind of holiday tunes, from "Good King Wenceslas" tp "Deck the Halls." The final performance for the night, Jeff Tyzik' s "Skater's Overture," left us eager for the symphony's next concert in March. Tyzik, a highly regarded member of the jazz community, arranged this set of variations on "The Skater's Waltz" imd the Ohio Valley Symphony performeq it with dramatic flair.

Joan CHRISTY LEMIRE When she's still a little girl, washing clothes and running errands as a servant for the glamorous women of a Kyoto geisha house, ti)e plucky heroine of "Memoirs of a Geisha" gets an impof!ant bit of advice: she's not properly dressed," her hard-dnving . boss tells her, "she \s not a true geisha." It seems everyone involved with the. movie was paying attention to those words, as well. An obsession with appearance- and detail penneates every second of" Memo'irs of a Geisha,'' to breathtaking effect. Words like "vivid" and "lush" don't do it justice; you truly feel as if you've been transported to another world. In bringing Arthur Golden's best-selling, faux-insider novel to the screen, director Rob Marshall has created a fluid, rapturous work - not surprising from the man who razzle-dazzled us with the Oscar-winning "Chicago." If you don 't bother to strip away the layers of makeup and silk. you'll be thoroughly mesmerized. But. beyond the rich fabrics, elaborate set de ~ign and romantic John Williams score - with cello solos from Yo- Yo Ma and violin solos from ltzhak Perlman - there's little depth. Ziyi Zhang's scrappy young Chiyo. - renamed Sayuri once she becomes a geisha - learns from her mentor Mameha (Michelle Yeah) that geishas are not courtesans and not wives, but living, breathing works of art trained to elegantly entertain. And Mameha warns her that tl)ey're certainly not allowed to fall in love - which Sayuti did long ago, with the Chainnan (Ken Watanabe). But We never truly feel Sayuri's pain- the sense of being trapped in a life she was sold into - because she'd long dreamed of the glamorous irappings, and she thrives as a geisha. Marshall glosses over her anguish in favor of breathy voiceover and stylized aesthetics. Naturally, ·writers Robin Swicord and Doug Wright had .to condense Golden's book. which likely wi ll trouble purists.

AP Photo In this photo provided by Columbia Pictures, Nitta Sayuri (Ziyi Zhang) reveals how she transcended her fishing-village roots and became one of Japan's most celebrated geisha in "Memoirs of a Geisha." escapist entertainment. In that regard, it's more than satisfying. As Sayuri, the uber-geisha in training during pre-World War II Japan, Z!lang gets to strut and flirt and pout, and she does it radiantly. The obligatory montage that highlights her transformation from orphaned maid to outrageous diva is cliched but thrillingly staged, as she learns how to walk, dance and play music like the charming companions of the time. "You are a magnificent geisha," the tranquil, wise Mameha assures her in the warm tones of a self-help guru. And it's true -so much so that she threatens to usurp Gong's Matsumomo, another prominent geisha and Mameha's rival. Gong, the longtime favorite of Chinese director Zhang Yimou in her first Englishlanguage role, clearly had a blast vamping it up. She's a lempest of treachery, insecurity and manipulation. While Sayuri is being pitted against her one-time besi friend , Matsumomo's protege Pumpkin (Youki Kudoh , who actually is Japanese), she secretly hopes to attract the interest of the Chairman. She has been pining for him ever since be comforted her as a chi ld crying alone on a footbridge. But as she makes her debut much-anticipated before a crowded audience - a performance that ' s part coming-out party, part Vegas showgirl routine - Sayuri draws the interest of every man in the room . Her act is a swirl of blue lighting, fake snow and impossibly high platform flip-flops, one that will surely send drag queens sc urrying to their mirrors to hone their own routines - regardless of their ethnic origin.

For more information, contact the Meigs W. PAWELEK OSU EXTENSION GALLIA COUNTY As the weather turns cold, man y horses are ridden less atld less. It is easy to become rel axed in a horse's daily care since they are not being used as often. Ho wever. horses still require much care and attention throughout the winter. Often , even,grearer attention is needed since there is little green pasture to graze, and the ponds and creeks are freezi ng up. Falling temperatures, wind and wet conditions cause a tremendous demand on the horse's body for heat production. How much .body condi tion a horse loses depends on the severity and duration of the cold seaso n and the amount of energy the horse receives from its feed. As with . all warm-blooded animals, horses must maintain their body temperature to survive. The environmental temperature and the heat produced within the body determine the extent to which heat must be conserved. The body does little to regulate heat generation and heat loss when the environmental temperature s are within ranges of the animal's comfort zone or the "thermal neutral zone." As environmental temperatures fall below the minimal temperature of the comfort zone or "critical temperature," heat production is increased by the body by speeding up cht<mical reactions which produce heat · The critical temperature can be used to estimate changes in . a horse's nutritional requirement relative to falling temperatures, cold winds and wet hair coats. Estimates for the lower critical temperature for horses are between 30 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit depending on hair coat, body condition, wetness and wind chilL The critical temperature for cattle ranges from 18 degrees F for dry weather and heavy hair coats to 59 degrees F for animals with summer or wet hair coats. If the win.d chill is 20 degrees F, the horse would have an increased energy l!lse citnl ·In One Week With Us .REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS AD NOW To Place \!Crihune Sentinel l\egister Your Adr (740) 446-2342 (740) 992·2156 (304) 675-1333 call Today••• Ranchers take advantage of growing demand for goat meat SUNDAY PUZZLER g=.- sJ:t"' ~=tor- So~:ttheastern Ohio Vegetable School to be held in Marietta • ·osu Vegetable Trials and Results.
