Pomeroy • Middleport··Gallipolis, Ohio • Point Pleasant, WV • Anonymous dad now eager to reclaim parental rights · I . DEAR ABBY: Fifteen years ago when I was single, I got the wife of a friend pregnant. (I'll call her Lily.) Lily was afraid that coming clean with her husband would destroy their marriage, so we both kept quiet and allowed him to think the child was his. A beautiful baby girl was born; they named her ..Candice." Shortly after tlie birth, Lily, her husband and Candice moved out of state. I couldn't trace them, which meant my child disappeared from my life. I roamed a local girl, and we have led a quiet, happy life all these years with our two young daughters. I told my wife everything. She was supportive of my desire to find Candice, but we both felt torn about how aggressive the search should be. A year ago out of the blue, Lily contacted me. .She had divorced her husband and married another man who knows that I am her daughter's birth .father. Candice is now · 14, and the thfee live only two towns away. Lily and I agreed to meet at a pu!'. lie soccer event where Candice was competing. I was able to finally see my daughter. She looks and acts very much like me - even to the Dear Abby ADVICE point of excelling in the same sports I did at her age . With Lily's permission, I have continued .to "show up" at Candice's sporting events, but her mother wants no contact beyond that. Lily has done an excellent job of raising her, and Candice is an "A" student wlio is socially con s.cious and well-adjusted. I am deeply ashamed of the way both Lily and I handled things from the beginning of this girl's life, and feel strongly that I want my daughter to know who I am. I am more than willi.ng to accept financial responsibility. Candice may want to meet her two half-sisters, and she deserves to know the medical history of my side of the family, as there is an unusually high rate of breast cancer. Lily is dead-set against telling Candice anything. and until now I have respected her wishes. Please give me your opinion on whether my daughter should be told the truth now - or ever. AN:XIOUS BIRTH FATHER IN TEXAS . DEAR ANXIOUS BIRTH FATHER: I agree that, if only for medical reasons, Candice should eventually be told the truth. However, because her mother feels sGJ strongly. that may have to wait until she's an adult. It is my belief that children should be told the truth about their parentage as early as possible. Since I may not know all the facts in this case. the girl's mother may have valid ·reasons for feeling as she does. DEAR ABBY: I am a 19year-old fema1~college student who just s rted a parttime job at a piz a parlor. The one problem I' facing is my boss keeps staring at my breasts every time we talk. It's very unsettling. How do you suggest I handle this, Abby? I really need to keep my job.CO-ED WITH A GAWKING BOSS IN MINNESOTA DEAR CO-ED: Tell your boss what he's doing makes you micomfortable.

Post members agreed last week to spend $500 to have 100 of the medallions with ribbons and a plastic case manufactured and sold at the dinner. which Post Commander John Holcomb ~elieve s is the oldest docu- . mented such dinner still celebrated iri Ohio. Holcomb, who has researched the history of Civil War veterans' bean dinners, said the medallions are similar to those once given to Ohio Civil War veterans by the state. Post 161 has sponsored the bean dinner for the last 50 years, and is joining with the village of Vinton in this year's event in honor of the state's bicentennial. The medallions will be manufactured by Muskegon. Mich.-based Trophy House. Holcomb said the tradition of a "campfire". meeting of Ctvil War ~veterans who fought for the Union began soon after the conflict's end. "At these gatherings, the public was invited to hear the old soldiers reminisce about their wartime experiences and partake of the stan.dard Army meal of beans, pork. hardtack and coffee prepared over a campfire and served in genuine soldier style," he said. The gatherings became known as Grand Army of the Republic or GAR bean din· ners in the late 1880s. a few years after the first Vinton bean dinner was documented in October 1883 through newspaper accounts, Holcomb said. But the actual beginning of Vinton's event was traced by Holcomb to 1868, 1 which he called the "legendary" date due to lack of supporting accounts. The Rio Grande Memorial Association said similar bean dinners 'began at Rio 6rande in 1870. The dinner is still celebrated the second Saturday in August at Bob Evans Farm.

"Hannan has presented me with challenges. The main point I want to make is that you can achieve being successful and happy by truly being what you want to be." "If you hold yourself hack, ·you will never be happy wondering abOut what you could have been," she added. "Tear down the walls that are restricting you, because only you can clear those obstacles." Valedictorian Racine Gue likened the clas,s's school career to a foundation for a productive life, citing classmates, teachers and the community as its building blocks. "These walls have defined me, supported me and comforted me," Gue said. "When I first came here, I was drowning in my insecurities, but soon I was immersed in friends and activities, and while those insecurities never completely disappeared, you were all there to support me." Oue also urged seniors to be themselves and never give up on their dreams. "I challenge you to not tum . your back on this school, but use it as a foundation for your life," she said. Following the addresses, three additional scholarships received in the past week were announced to the audi· ence. Scholarships and awards were presented last week at the school. The Marshall University Mid-Ohio Valley Center Scholarship went to Rebecca Messer, while an award from the Pleasant Valley Health Foundation has been given to E!ana Wright. · Please see Hannan.

The goal of West Virginia's bear hunts is to reduce the population to a level that's acceptable to the local human popqlation, Dotson said. However it hasn't been wor~ing. Only 289. or I 8 percent. of the bears in the four-county area were killed last year. That percentage is too low to affect the population, Dotson said. Last year 1,362 bears were killed statewide. One factor in the hunt's low number of kills is that fewer people are hunting. · "People are becoming more urbanized," said Dotson, who said that young people seem to be lured away from hunting by video games and intramural spons. The DNR will continue its study next year, tracking and radioing more bears throughout the· summer. And two bear hunting seasons will be expanded this.fall. Auto- Owners.

Now in its fourth year, the Southern West Virginia Black · Bear Population Dynamics Study tracks the growth and survival rates of cubs and places radio collars on nuisance bears to gather behavioral information. . So far it seems the area is prime bear habitat, producing bigger bears and litters than in the state's nonhero mountainous counties. said Tom Dotson, a DNR wildlife bioiogist conducting the study. lbeaverageweigh~ forexampie, of bears caught breaking into bins in the area is about 360 pounds- with one male caught last month weighing 575 pounds. "It's a people problem more than anything else." Dotson said. "Most of the complaints with bears can ·be solved if people manage their trash. 'They'll go away - real simple. And I think there are a lot of people who have learned that," he said . Despite the popular belief, blaek bears aren 't-aggressive. "Most of them will kind of act like a whipped dog," said David Arbogast, a DNR wildlife manager. Public education and scaring problem bears have ff · · d · prqven e ecttve 10 re ucmg bear-human conflicts. Still the core of the problem is the population density of the bears. The environment may be able · to sustain the bears, but their numbers may be too much for the people living. in the area. Dotson said the only way to reduce or stabilize the animal's population is through hunting. Hunting is a contentious issue throughout the nation. · New .

OU.R READERS' VIEWS Who pays? .Dear Editor: T~ere is another problem within our school system that needs to be brought to the attention of the taxpaying citizens of Mason County. I will try to explain this problem . the simplest way I know how by presenting to you an event that occurred just recently on school property. If any portion of thi s sequence of events is not accurate, as it was presented to me by many witnesses, I will write a correction, and apologize for the error. A Mason County school bus was parked on school property. The bus driver ,was not in the bus when the accident occurred. The vehicle driven by a school employee struck the bus, causing slight damage to the bus, but considerable damage to the car driven by the employee. The sequence of events that take place from this point on ill ustrates. in my opinion, the flaws in this drug testing pol- . icy of this present school ' board and school administrators. The bus driver was called to the bus and had ·to remain there until a drug test could be administered. The time required at this point can, and has, taken up to two hours for the runner to come all the way from Huntington to take a urine sample, and run it all the way back to Huntington to be .tested. Talk about an opportunity to contaminate the evidence. Didn't the OJ. Simpson trial teach us anything about the handling of evidence? Now after all of this waiting and running comes the most serious indication that there is something wrong, or very flawed with this policy, as each test costs the taxpayers of Mason County up to $600 each. They saved us $600 as the employee causing the accident was not required to take a drug test. Why? If this is true, would someone explain it to us'' The present school administration is RIFing, transferring and firing some employees because of an alleged budget defioit. I think we can understand one of the reasons for this shortage of money now. I believe the people of Mason County must demand that a grand jury investigation be made into the guidelines/administration of this : Today is Sunday, June I, the 152nd day of 2003.

Following a 7-20 start- their worst since 1991 - the Indians ·finished May with a three-game winning streak and a 14-12 record for the month. Only the first -place Minnesota Twins have played better lately within the division. Granted, ·Cleveland played Detroit se'ven times in May. But the early turnaround is a positive step for· tlie Indians, a team with no illusions of making the postseason in 2003. . "I feellikfl we're finally playing the way I want us to play,'' Wedge said Saturday after the Indians game with ' -------- -- the Chicago White Sox was . postponed by rain. "I like our approach and how we're taking care of our business on the · field. We .are making strides, and getting better. 'There are a lot of good things happening here." And there are numbers to back Wedges assessment. Cleveland has won I0 of its last 16 and although the weather in nonheast Ohio remains gmy and gloomy. there are more than a few bright spots for the Indians. • For one, the lndiarls' shaky bl!llpen has fina)ly started to stabilize. ~ . Cleveland's relievers were a com- bined l-l 0 to start' the season. but since May 13. they are 5-3 with five saves and have lowered their ERA from 5.50 to 4.62 in the last 17 games. The Indians are hitting better as well, but not up to Wedge's standards. "We· re still giving away too many at-bats," he said. "We're doing a better job at times. but we need to be more consistent. Th.at's the thing we need to add. We've had some good stretches. We string together two and three good games. Now we need more." The Indians. who have three rookies in the starting rotation, had to endure a rough schedule over the first I 2 months this season. Cleveland played Seattle. Oakland and Anaheim six times each over a 28-game stretch. Wedge thinks it toughened his team. "We knew it would be a good indi- ' cator for where we were at." he said. "You always want to play against the best." C.C. Sabathia, who won victory Friday night and is unbeaten in his last nine starts, said the Indians are feeling much better aboljt how this season could end. "We· re getting more and more confident," he said. "It's been a big boost finishing this month off well." " Indians, White Sox rained out CLEVELAND (AP) - Steady rain and a forecast for more postponed Saturday's game between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox. No makeup date has.been scheduled.

''You can't' let him get to those spots where he is most comfortable," Martin said. "I'll try to meet him early, do my wo.rk early, and see how it plays out and stay out of foul trouble so I can stay on the court." The further Martin can push Duncan out of his comfort zone, the more he can rely on teammates for help. The guards can then come off their men quickly ahd return. It's not a double team but it feels that way. The one problem the Nets . will have in getting ready for Game I on Wednesday night is that they really can't help Martin !jet reaoy for Duncan.

Once there, who knows. Anything can happen, especially when you're a fighter no one wants to face. . But boxing was the furthest thing from anyone's mind on Aug. 29, 2002, the day it appeared 18-year-old Charlie Powell was going to die. Charlie was 4 years old when his mother dropped him off for good at her ex-husband's apartment. • Although Charlie still sees his mother from time to time, Charles Powell Sr. has been primarily responsible for raising their son. A former boxer himself, Powell, 49, walks with a limp. His apartment is crowded but neat. Charlie's trophies, too many to count, cover the top of the TV and a credenza. As a kid, the father said, Charlie was small for his age. Powell, intent on teaching his son toughness and discipline, introduced him to the ring at age 5. Soon, after sparring with his father, Charlie had an effective right. "They left him alone after that," Powell said. He continued to push his son, who boxed at local gyms. Charlie demonstrated prolliise, but his father knew success was no guarantee. "I told him, you try to be the best you can be and lose, then you can't blame anybody," the father recalled. "Just don't cheat yourself." It wasn't all about boxing, though. They fished together. Powe~ taught Charlie how to cook. He taught him manners. "I wanted him to be independen,t," he said. "I won't always be here." Police officer Mary Beth Stachura has worked closely with Charlie too. She helped revive the local Police Athletic League program, which offers baseball, boxing and other athletic activities for youths in urban areas in an effort to keep them off the 'streets: "We use the sports to lure them in and then tum them into model citizens," she said. During her first week on the job, as she walked toward the neighborhood ball diamond, a I 2-year-old youngster stopped her. "I'm Charles Powell Jr.," he said. "I'm going to box for you:" · It didn't take long for him to demonstrate an uncanny prowess in the ring. In six years, Charlie won five local Golden Gloves titles and a Junior Olympics crown. But Stachura .said she was more impressed with Charlie the person. "He had to be one of the most polite young men rve ever met. Most kids aren't 'that respectful," she said. The two quickly bonded. Charlie began tuming up at the PAL office every day after school; it was his second home, as he called it. 'Every year, Stachura took him to dinner on his birthday, Sept. 14. Charlie wears a jacket with his name embroidered on it. He's 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs q2 pounds. Even with all the clothes, it's clear he's fit. "Rock solid," said his boxing coach, police officer Ron Wilcox. · Everything hasn't always gone smoothly.

It worked. Charlie, soft-spoken with a I00-watt smile, appears to understand. Without PAL, without boxing, without the support of his father and Stachura and Wilcox, he admitted his life would be different. "I'd probably be in the streets," Charlie said. Charlie left for the Rin~side National Labor Day Boxing Championships in Kansas City on Aug. 28. Joining him althe Adams Mark Hotel were several other local PAL boxers and coachesThe following afternoon -the day before he · was supposed to box -Charlie worked out at the hotel gym and afterward spent some time in a sauna.

In his retirement, he continues to be involved in education. He teaches manners, obedience and proper behavior to 1ndependence, Dream Girl, and Iced Tea - the horses on hi s I 0-acre farm m Parkersburg. Raised in Richwood. where his mother was a school principal. Bredon, 68, remembers Nell. · the gray mare of his childhood. He said it was as a typical farm horse•. "When I was a kid, you had one all purpose horse. You hitched them to the plow, to pulled the · sled and you rode them. After -Nell was Fred, a Cleveland bay we used to plow, log and ride, I've had horses all my life and could name every one," he says. After a stint in the Marine Corps, Bred on returned to enroll at Glenville State College where he met Mary, his wife of 44 years and the mother of his five children. During their first year of marriage, Bredon worked in the coal mines. ' "I didn't think it was fair to my young wife to do such dangerous work, so I left the mines and staned timbering, which is actually more dangerous than mining, but it didn't seem that way at the time," Bredon recalls. He purchased · Ted, a Clydesdale, and . used the horse to log a 25-acre tract of land he and Mary owned at the time. Next came Shaddrack, an American sad- dlebred, that he eventually sold to Homestead, are sort in · Virginia. "I used the money from ShaddJ:ack to get my master's degree," he explains. There have been endurance horses. work horses, show horses and riding horses, but Bredon says, above all. they have been pleasure horses, ea'ch and every one. "1 have owned some good ones," he says. but refuses to name a favorite of the current three. Independence. born July 4, 1998, is the largest of the three at 1.200 pounds and just more than 16 hands. The paint is half American saddle bred and half quarter horse, who waits until he has been groomed before rolling in red clay mud . Independence, Bredon says, can be a nuisance, stealing buckets, hammers, shovels or even chairs if given the chance. "He is the most people-ori'en ted .horse I have ever seeh. He's JUSt happy to be out on the tratl. I nde h1m on ra1Is to trails whenever I get a chance. We both love that." Bredon says. Iced Tea, a registered quarter horse the color of a ~ich cup of brewed tea, soon will be 4 years 'old. At 14 1/8 hands, she is not a big horse, so Bredon rarely rides her. "I work every horse every week, but nearly anything you can do from the saddle you can do from the ground. A good horse must be used, trained, touched ~nd handled from a very early age . I do a lot of ground work. But first , before you do anything, is to clean their feet.

NEW HAVEN , W.Va. David Monroe is retired from the Air Force, but not from th~ kitchen . When Monroe retired, he allended school for hotelmotel management in Florida, where he lived then. Part of the training included attending chef's school. But when Monroe found that it involved too much time on hi:s feet, cooking became his hobby. Monroe's wife, Agnes. said that she had· always hated the kitchen, so when he started · cooking, she quit. · Monroe _disagrees with that. "lt was really self-preservation. When· she quit, I started cooking." Monroe said, laughing. Monroe served in active duty for more than 20 years before retiring. He was an aircraft mechanic. Being stationed in so many different places, he learned to love different types of food and started collecting recipes from all over the world. He has recipes from Hawaii, China, Hong Kong and France, to name a few. He owns more than 150 .cookbooks and said that he had tried many of the recipes in them. "I had so many, though. that I would forget about rec ipes I had already tried, so I gave four boxes of them to my . daughters. I had my favorites and many of the others didn't get used, so !let the girls split them up," Monroe said. Monroe said that his favorite recipe is "anything Italian." "We have family gettogethers about once a month, r~in g turns at cooking. There are usually 7 to 15 people that attend. When it's my turn to cook, it is usually Italian - spaghetti, fetticine alfredo, spinach lasagna. Everyone always asks for it," Monroe said . .. Monroe said that another favorite of his and Agnes' is French Onion soup. "I lirst tasted it in Hong Kong and got the recipe from the cook. Agnes and I have it quite often. We really like it. My daughter sends me a speci<il Parmesan cheese that I 11rate over it that is especially gqod," Monroe said. Monroe said that he tried a new recipe for it one time when his brother and sisterin-law visited and it was terrible. "It tasted like it had sugar in it," Monroe said. ·After that, he stuck to his old tried-and-true recipe. Monroe said that his love of eating can be traced hack · to his childhood. "I remember watching my mother cook. l learned that it was the best way to be the lirsr one to the food," Monroe laughed. Monroe said he remembers his mother saving. pork rinds in a bowl ·until she would get enough. Then she would render the fat from them and the kids would get the skins. He said that they really looked forward to those. "I also remember fri ed squirrel , hot rolls, com on the cob, lemon pie and cinnamon rolls," Monroe said, longingly. Monroe has lived in New Haven for I0 years. He and his wife moved here fro m Florida after his 'daughter, Marty, moved to the area . . "Agnes and I were both born i'n West Virginia and had family here, so it was. not a great transit ion," Monroe said. Monroe said he and his wife were both happy here .and planned to stay. "We really like our home here and our two daughters both li ve here, , as we ll as many other family members. It 's home now," Monroe said. cheese dash nutmeg (optional) 2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh chives or Italian parsley freshly ground black pepper Bring a large pot of salted water ra a boil and add the pasta: cook until a! dente, following package directions .

He 's still waiting . And "Reading Rainbow," which has counterintuitively · used television to introduce children to a world of books, may on! y have a few months to live. "Readin~ Rainbow" has several stnkes against it in the battle for funding . For starters, it has no access, to merchandise licensing deals, an increasingly important part of PBS' funding scheme for children's shows. There are no "Reading Rainbow" action figures to sell, no "Reading Rainbow" jammies to keep kids warm at night. The series is also 20 years ol.d when many corporate benefactors prefer being involved with something new. And the show's narrow audience - children 6 to 8 who are just learning to read - doesn't give sponsors the broad exposure they 're seek· ing, said Amy Jordan, senior researcher on children and the media at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center. Other programs, like "Clifford the Big Red Dog," have book series attached to them. But "Reading Rainbow" is the only one that introduces children to a wide ran!.e of literature, Jordati sat . , "What 'Reading Rainbow' saw, before anybody else saw it, is that you can use this medium of television to get kids excited about reading," she said. Over the past several years, Burton and his backers have been producing fewer "Reading Rainbow" episodes because money was short. This ~eason , only four new shows were made. The production company has a $2 million annual budget, and no money to go forward, he said. "We have pieced it together by hook or by crook every year," said Burton, who helped start the series so children, during summer months · away from school ; could retain what they had learned. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has contributed to the show m the past. But it generally doesn't foot the bill alone, said John Wilson, chief programming executive at PBS . PBS wants to keep the show alive, and will have the summer to hunt for more money before a decision must be. made.. . "It's difficult to get them afl funded," Wilson said. "That is the state of kids' programming right now." Burton, who memorably portrayed Kunta Kinte in the telexision series, "Roots," admits there's been times in the past few months when he figured the money problems were a sign to call it quits. Then he'd have an experience like he had recently when ·I your s:pe· l days·.t • )f-.

Nitrogen is leached by excessive water out of the reach of the vegetable plant, roots. It needs to be replenished. ' Many commercial growers have cut back substantially vn early applications of fertilizer when planting in favor of using liquid nitrogen fertilizer in daily or three times a week irrigations throughout the growing season. · Homeowners with annual flowers need to also look at supplemental feedings with liquid fertilizers (like 5- 10-5) to assist in the produftion of flowers and new leaf growth.

Use hot, soapy water to wash your hands before, during and after food preparation. Unwashed hands are the number one cause of food-borne illnesses. Keep handy a . small . bottle of antlbactenal hqutd or antibacterial wipes for hands,. and co<?kmg ~urfaces. When pack1ng a cooler, put meats on the bottom so leak- ing juices do not trickle down to other foods . Keep coolers in the shade and out of ·hot trunks as much as possible. Use a separate cooler for bev- . erages to prevent the food cooler from being opened too often. Try to pack the exact amount of food that will be eaten to avoid handling leftovers. Place condiments in smaller containers to pack into the cooler. Do not use the same plate to serve foods that you use for raw meat. Throw out left· oyers unless they can be chilled on ice, remaining in the cooler until your return home. If food has been in the "danger zone" (40 degrees to 140 degrees) for two or-more hours, throw it out. It is better' to dispose of leftovers than to suffer from food poisoning.

Garage sales exist ·because storage space doesn't BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Mike Turner knows the dirty little secret behind the garage sales that sprout up l!ke dandelions at this time of year: People dont know where -or how - to store all their stuff. "The great revelation of a garage sale is people rediscover all the stuff they forgot they had," says Turner of The Home Service Store. "Garage sales are a recurring remedy when you doni know how to store things or make the best use of the hidden available space in a home." The a·nswer is not to put dads slightly used golf clubs on sale but to carefully plan where clubs ought to be stored. · Turner suggests homeowners adopt a philosophy of " ag~ressive organization" to achteve twin aims of easy access to items and utilizing available space. This combines retooling unused space and tailored storage syste!llS. Occasionally that requires asking professionals "what would you do with this space?" Its estimated the average home bas at least ISO square feet of idle storage beneath stairs or unfinished attics. "And that doesnt count wall space, ceilings, or bqsements. People can beg, borrpw and steal storage space theyve · already paid for," . says Turner. Walls and ovedlead areas are targeted by .ready-made d ... • ' storage systems ror virtually any room . "Every closet in the U.S. has a clothes rod and a shelf," says Turner, "but systems help get shoes off the tloor and clothes in drawers. You can apply a system to virtually any room:· Nowhere are systems more successful than in the No. I and No. 2 storage challenges: garages and basements. Items are best stored by weight and shape to minimize lifting. Store· heavy items near floor level. Accessories allow bikes, ladders and other long, lightweight items to hang from ceilings. Specialized storage for tools and garden gear is currently all the rage. Basements are no longer a storage af.terthought. The advent of the Owens Corning basement finish system. with wall and ceiling panels that give basement rooms a polished look , encourage homeowners to avoid helter-skelter piles of odds and ends. Even storage rooms with wall-towall cabinetry can take on a finished appearance. · If your laundry is· in the · basement, consider custombuilt shelving for laundry items as well as decor-minded ra~ks, countertops and hanging bags for. seasonal clothes storage.' Obtaining a second opinion on storage maximization can identify spatial opportunities homeowners might not self diagnose. Turner says ~he home storage professiOn grew rapidly because homeowners were unable to curb hou sehold chaos. "The ,, homeowners may have an idea of what they want to accomplish clutter-wise," says Turner, "yet they need to talk to someone who has the knowledge base to take the homeowner goal and make it happen." Professionals can deal easily with obstacles that appear insurmountable to a do-ityourselfer, such as a pipe or multiple electrical outlets in potential storage . space. "It doesnt hurt to have a second set of eyes help you look at all your storage possibilities," .says Turner. Consumers ·concerned with how room additions should look would do well to give equal weight to storage as they put pen to paper during planning stages, "Just adding space without adding utility, ends up layering more stuff upon stuff. Its more fodder for another yard sale," says Turner. " "You can look back at tile 1960s when tool outlines painted on pegboards were the epitome of a-place.-fore verything-and-everythi ngin-its-place," says Turner. "Home storage has come a long way since then but anyone who walks into their garage or basement on a Saturday morning knows theres a lot of room for improvement." ('fhe Home Service Store manages home maintenance, repair and improvement tasks in more than 130 markets .nationwide and can be found at www. TrustHS$.com.) I few recomme ndaiions, if you ask. Another outstanding way to find a good contractor is through a national . trade organization with a : branch in the area. Generally sp~ak ing. these organizations maintain stringent criteria for membership in their organization and require their members to adhere to a · code of ethics and business : standards. In addition to · these sources , you also · should contact the Contractors State License Board and the Better Business Bureau to ensure . that the contractors you are : consid~ring are in good : standing. Finally, when you have found' someone that you are comfortable with, make sure he has all the proper insur· : ance required to perform the : work, and that his contract is : fair and includes everything : thin you have discussed. Remember, if .it's not in writing, chances are that you won't get it. 110~car ACROSS DOWN (2 wdll.) 1 Binge 6 BabyO'kot . 10 Matheonillclll Wpoet -Kilayylm 14 Put to """"" 19 PleasiW1t amel 20 Asauned OIVIlO 22 -lazUI 24 Oicheslra2S RM!r in llaly 26 Millar! cllaplaln 27 Wont by car 28 Test 29 Atrican nier 30 Btmhardt or t22 Towbolll 124 AjJprlloe t26 En(llo.lless plln 128 Blbe, "poolS 129 Cuncenlralo 131 Ursa- 158 Disparaging 160 King or~ 109 Aock'a- JuiV1 1t1 01~ 113 8nJedcut- 33 Stmlprtcluulstonet 36~a-room. tcr shor1 37 Wld<od 36DISCU<n~Qt 161 Bartly~ Flxas •III.Kiulentl Res1aurant worker Oeooo-,...., 56 Bowie-or Le11&"'*' 57 SOOIP ptam 162 Predpituul 163 66 Standulftsh ., wuro rn • forecast 164 LhXJiii 1101 I 165Nel'llllardviai1or Prefef ( MMsengtr ul old n Kind u1 UtW~g~ 79 Luethl<ltlt 62 Erjuy 1M 84 FrUty~ B6Uppltyone 88 Vlduul OOg 90 Haj wor11 or Cuulldge Off!ee 11o~~ 116 Jorohua trH 119 Fender "'"'i'er 123Leodola 125 Orgtne compuurd 126 Kind ulldluOI 127 FU!roW 129 Great lack ul food 130 Cer1ain cars 132 Bay window 131 Curisulo 135 Niagara .:,_ 136~ - 137 Muthol-of·pearl 138 Vamloh kogredtnt 140 Zodiac sign 142 Capital d Lumbartly 143 Make better 144 Matlclous 147 Change the doOOr 149 Atglun (ail~)<.) 152 5p9lt 154 Basto 156 Gypsy """' 157 Opp. of N.N.E.

Bl!t, like most things these days, the rules have changed. Concerned about food safety? Then don't peek for pink to see if the burgers are done. That,s just not a reliable method. All cooked meat, whether pink · or brown, should be tested with a meat therinometer and not by the human eye. Food-borne illness can result even from meat that appears to be thoroughly cooked. Hamburgers especially need to be completely done as they are more apt to carry E. coli 0157:H7 than steak. This is because E. coli bacteria remains on the outside 'of a cut of meat until ground-up, as in hamburger. Then the lfucteria can get inside the patty, so reaching an internal temperature of 160 degrees F is extremely important. That can only be determined with a meat thermometer - your saving grace. \ll:rtbune - Sentinel - Home and garden Q&A BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • Gallipolis, OH • Pi.

MILES Staff writer BY LAYTON POMEROY - Hannah's Hogget\S is the winner of the first Goldwings and Ribs competition held Saturday in downtown Pomeroy. Four professional contestants were in the Rib-Cook-Off to see who has the "Best Ribs in Ohio." : Hannah's Hoggettes won first place prize of $1 ,000. Haug Wild Ri~s took second place $300; and J .T' s Stovetop barbeque took third place prize of $200. . The contestants started ~ooking the ribs ·shortly before 9 a.m. Saturday. The meat was inspected and approved by event organizets before the slow cooki ng began. Six judges had the enviable ta.sk of sampling the barbecue. The secret judges were a prominent local banker, two restaurant managers, a chef, a . food expert and a well known rib enthusiast. The entries were scored in . areas of appearance, tenderness/lex• lure and taste. Only a few fractions of point separated the first and second entries. Judges were provided with six equal portions of meat. A Pomeroy Police officer was present to view the judging, and perhaps tQ ~mell the tantalizing meat The ribs were covered in sauce and dis. played on leafs ·of lettuce.
