See ~age 81 POMEROY - Meigs County officials are tightening efforts to collect delinquent real estate taxes, but according to · Treasurer Howard Frank, the county's collection rate is already relatively high, and proceeds benefiting the county's general fund would be relatively low, even if all delinquent accounts were paid in full. Meeting Thursday with Meigs · County Commissioners, Frank said the county's collection rate on delinquent land taxes is at approximately 97 percent, but that half of the $2 million now shown on the county's certification of delinquent land taxes is virtually uncollectable.

Last week, the Ohio Public Utilities Commission issued a finding in favor of a group of Pomeroy customers, led 'by Meigs County Commissioner Mick Davenport, who requested the institution of extended area telephone service between the Pomeroy 992 and New ' • Haven 882 exchangt;s.

New Haven customers have been able to place a local call to Pomeroy customers since 1997, Davenport said. "The PUCO issued their 2003 ·Gallia F'a.··.

(AP) - Week after week, Bishop Fred Caldwell grew weary of looking out onto his nearly all-black congregation and realizing that the most segregated hour in America is Sunday mornings at II o'clock.

"This idea is borne of God. God wants a rainbow in his church," · said Caldwell, head of the 5,000member Greenwood Acres Full Gospel Baptist Church. Caldwell's pay-for-pray plan has become the talk of Shreveport, a northwest Louisiana city of about 200,000, with roughly the same number of black and white residents.

"Five innocent lives were taken. Someone definitely needed to be caught," she said while watching a police news conference with roommates. "Finding that person doesn't bring them back, but at least they know that person is not on the loose." Bryan Connell, who lives two doors down from the house, said the fire shattered the congenial atmosphere of the street a couple of blocks from campus. "Since it all happened, we've all kind of kept to ourselves," he said. "We can finally move on, not that we'll ever forget about it" is in prison for bribery and racketeering charges Beik said the group, which announced FridaY. that it had gotten Traficant s approval, has raised $10,224 in cash pledges made on Traficant's campaign Web site. The average contribution was $71, he said. Once a campaign committee raises ·or spends more than $5,000, it is required to file a statement of organization with the Federal Election Commission. Belk said the campaign had mailed that fonn to the FEC Friday; it had not yet been received by the commission. Traficant's group filed a signed "Statement of Candidacy" fonn with the FEC last week. Belk said the campaign hopes to meet its goal of raising $1 00,000 to qualify for federal matching funds by Oct. I, which is when he expects Traficant to fonnally announce his presidential candidacy.

The FBI's cyber crime case load has increased 1,200 percent over the past fiv e years. Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to reg ulate interstate commerce. There is no question that cyber crime is exploding, and the FBI , with its mandate to protect us from terrorists, is simply outmoused. The USA 1\eeds a federal cyber police and special federal courts to deal with the avalanche of criminal ac ti vity and civil intrusion. Nobody really knows just how many people use the Internet, but estimates range up to 500 million people {laity worldwide. And here in America, there is no single federal agency ·that keeps track of the crimes that occur everyday. Things are simply out of control. This is a classic case of unintended consequences . The Net is an enormously powerful instrument that has 1mproved all our lives. But it can also be used to hurt you . So where is the protection that our federal government is mandated to provide us?

So while Congress dithers around and the FBI is overwhelmed, the bad guys have new high-tech opportunities that even Fredo Corleone would have understood.

Los AngelesTimes Laudi ceia Cristina da Silva, a young mother and office file clerk. sued the· large public hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where, in June 1997, during a routine operation to remove a small ova rian cys t, she emerged from anesthesia in great pain with a 17-inch scar across her side and minus her left kidney. Hospital offi cials insisted her "mi ssin g kidney"was embedded in the mass of tissue that had ·accum ul ated around her o'varian cyst. But the story was highly improbable. The diseased ovary and the kidney had been "discarded,"they said, and the crucial medical records misplaced. The state Medical Ethics Board refused to review the case, having no reason, it said. to doubt the hospital's explanation. But DaSilva and her physician believe that her kidney was stolen to serve the needs of another. wealthier patient in the same hospital. "When rich people· look at poor people like us."Da Silva said angrily. "all they can see is a bag of spare parts." _ _ Da' Silva's case, whi le -extreme. has many counterparts elsewhere, from India to Argentina to Turkey, where kidney transp l ~nts from live patients are rap idly replac ing the conve ntional practice of usi ng organs from cadavers. Since survival rates are significantly better with living -donor organs, savvy transplant patients around the world arc now demanding "fre sh"organs . This trend, made possible by the introduction of powerful anti-rejection drugs, has in turn paved the way for a crude and beastly practice: th e buying and se lling of organs betwee n total strangers, creating a thri vin g international traffic in desperate and miserably poor human beings to supply the needs of aftluent patients. Buying and selling human organs, whether from the dead or from the living, is against the law in virtually every country, and it has been opposed by the world's medical associations as a violation of l)ledical ethics. Despite that, Organs Watch estimates that thou sands of transplant patients from the Persian Gulf states, Japan, Italy, Israel, the United States and Canada have purchased abroad from kidneys "donor"natio ns, including India, Pakistan, Turkey, Peru, Mexico, Moldova, Romania and South Africa . Kidneys range in price from $1 ,000 to $20.000. Avraham, a retired lawyer in Jerusalem, explaim;d why he went through considerable expense and danger to travel to Eastern Europe to purchase a kidney from a rural worker rather than wait in line for a cadaver organ in Israel: "Why should I have to wait years for a kidney from someone who .was in a car accident. pinned under the car for many hours, then in miserable condition in the intensive care unit for days and only then, after all that trauma, have that same organ pttt inside me? That organ is not going to be any good' Or, even worse, I could get the organ of an elderly person, or (In alcoholic, or a pers~n who died of a stroke. It's far better to get a kidney from a healthy person who can also benefit from the money I can ·a fford to pay." In the town of Mingir. in central Moldova (the poorest country in EurOpe). a young man named Vladimir was lured by a local kid ney hunter to Istanbul. Turkey. where he was tricked and pressured into giving up a spare body part. Back home . Vladimir has become a stigmat ized recluseunemployable and unmarriageable in a country where kidney-selling is viewed as a form of prostitution. Elsewhere. kidney -selling has become routine. In the garbage-strewn slum of Ban ~on Lupa in Manila, Philippines, "coming of age"now means that one is , legally old enough to sell a kid ney. As with other coming-of-age rituals, many young men lie-not only about the ir age, but about their exposure to tuberculosi s. AIDS, dengue fever, hepatitis. chronic skin infections and malnutrition. "No one at the hospital asks us for any documents,"one kidney "donor"assured me. Most of the kidney sellers I met did not have any idea what -a kidney was for. only that they had two of them-one to spare and, if lucky. to sell. A healthy Filipino kidney fr'lm a young seller is a real bargain. It can be had for $2.000 or less. From a market-oriented, supply-and-demand perspective that is gaining ground among transplant speci ali sts and bioethici sts and 'min istries of health in the world today, tbe buying and selling of kidneys is viewed as a windfall -a ' potential .I - The 2003 County and tobacco heW Friday, with area buyers speiXling about $212,677 in all three sales.

MILES lAYTON jlayton@mydailysentinel.com TUPPERS PLAINS Eastern Local Schools Superintendent Deryl Well is concerned that the district's performance on the 2002-2003 · state issued repon card will be misintel]lreted. The district passed II out of 22 standards tentatively set by the ~tate to maintain the grade of "continuous improvement." ''The data that we have is the best we have, but I don't think it is accurate," WeU said. "This is frustrating. Our kids do weU and if they didn't, we wouldn't have such a high graduation rate." According to the Ohio Deputmeut ofEducation, the nwn~ slndd nct be misirdu(Jtfu:l to tm1Il dH the district's educatiooal starxlards have fallen tium 1mt year. During the 2001-2002 school year, the district nn 14 out of 22 standards and was rated as being in "continoous improvement" Meigs Locaf scored four out of 22 standards and the district is considered to be in "academic emergency." Southern Local scored six out of 22 staooards on the proficiency tests and is also oonsidered in "academic emergency." The recently enacted federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has forced state legislators to change the standards again this year. Legislators will still be working out the details in a special session in August. By adopting the NCLB standards, the federal government has promised the states millions in additional funding. Well said there are strings attached to this money because federal testing standards are not truly an accurate or a realistic indicator of student success. Blindly comparing numbers across state lines with other districts with different student populations or operating without similar resources is not a realistic measure of a district's educational standards. ''We live in the real world and comparing numbers to other states is not fair," he said. For instance, Well said people living in southern Ohio below Interstate 70 are ar a disadvantage geographically with regard to school funding . By offering the hope of federal money to make up the gaps, the state has mandated standards that are out of step with the reality of education in Appalachia. The district could lose more than $96,000 in federal funding because it may no longer qualify due to the NCLB standards. ''The state is holding our kids hostage with federal money," he · said "If we don't comply with the No Child Left Behind Act, we could lose money that we desperately need." Ohio's proposed accountability system, which was approved by the U.S. Department of Education in January, uses multiple measures to determine designations - not just the 22 performance indi9ators used in the past. These measures include the 22 state indicators, a new performance index., a growth calculation and a gauge of adequate yearly progress for school buildings and districts. "I stress that what we are providing by complyin~ with the public records law IS preliminary, raw data," said Susan Tave Zelinan, . Superintendent of Public Instruction. "Until it has been through a quality assurance ~ss and has been veri· tied, It ultimately could be mis· understood, misin~ and give an inaccurate picture of a disnict or school's progress. n · H · u ·.c reator~·.co m .

A beastly trade in human )Jarts' BY NANCY 5CHEPER·HUGHES and the The Washington Post on legal drugs policy: Before drugs can be prescribed for adults, manufacturers have to prove that they are safe and effective at the recommended doses. Despite the fact that many of these same 'medications are used on children, drug companies-unless lhey specifically market their products for pediatric use-are not required to demonstrate that their products are suitable for children or to help physicians determine the appropriate desage . JA.nd it's not necessarily safe for doctors to simply instruct parents to cut pills in half or otherwise adjust dosages based on weight; children can metabolize medicines .differently than adults or suffer different side effects or toxicity. But there are practical obstacles to getting manufactur· ers to conduct such studies, including the lack of financial incentives because of the relatively small size of the pediatric market for particular medications and the ethical and legal challenges posed by testing drugs on children. ·. Congress and the .Food and Drug Administration have been working for more than two decades to devise better ways of encouraging pediatric testing of drugs. One commendable approach, part of the law since 1997, has beeR to offer drug comJYdnies a six-month extension on their patents If they conduct · such tests. Still, nearly three-quarters of i:Jrugs children now use have not been tested for that pur.pose. The FDA attempted to change that in 1998 with a rule that requires companies to conduct pediatric testing of new drugs and, in situations where the FDA believes it is warranted, of medications already on the market as well . But a federal judge last year overturned the so-called Pediatric Rule, finding that the FDA had overstepped its authority in issuing it. Now the Senate has approved a measure that would essen-tially write the Pediatric Rule into law. This legi slation .would fill an in1portant void. It would require testing in many cases rather than making it voluntary, as with the patent extension law. In addition, it would cover a broader -array of medications, including biological products, which include many cancer drugs prescribed for children. At the same time, drug-makers wouldn't be forced to conduct pediatric studies in cases where it wouldn't be logical to require ·that step or where it appears the product would be ineffec~i've or unsafe for children. The bill is backed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and an array of health and ~hildren's advocacy groups; the pharmaceutical industry is now on board too. As Sen. Mike De Wine, R-Ohio, said when he introduced the measure this year, it would "help make certain that children are no longer a therapeutic after. thought."When the House of Repre sentatives returns to :work in September, swift action on the Senate bill should be : near the top of its agenda. stem totaling Outlet.

Allan Running Back Associated Press ' HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - In his first career start, Stan Hill led Marshall to a nationally televised victory over Miami of Ohio last November. After two arrests and a cowt conviction, he faces bigger challenges this fall, both on and off the field. The 6-foot-3 junior quarterback with the polite demeanor and steely composure now has the starting job, along with a police record. His coaches are counting on him to behave and help improve Marshall 's streak of six straight bowl appearances. Hill is out to prove he's not a one-game wonder - and certainly not a villain. The journey begins Wednesday with the start of fall practice. . "I guess I've just had bad luck, but! have learned my lessons," Hill said. Hill became an instant hit when, subbing for the injured Byron Leftwich, he threw Jour touchdowns and scored on a 1-yard run in the final seconds to give Marshall a 36-34 victory over Miami. Much of the Miami game remains a blur to Hill, who was making his first start since high school.

Everybody was like, ' whew, we're going to do this."' Even then, Hill was playing under a cloud of uncertainty. A few weeks earlier, Hill was driving with three teammates after they had returned from a road game. Campus police saw a vehicle squealing its tires while making a turn. The driver then ignored a red light and drove recklessly into a parking lot, nearly striking several people. Hill was charged with resisting arrest, secondoffense driving on a suspended license, reckless driving, failure to drive right of center and failure to obey a red light.

Bl CoaCh CAREER Marshall QB looks to overcome off-field troubles· BY JOHN RAIY Elvin Joe Bethea Delamlelleure Lofton Defensive Guard Wide End Receiver •• �Page 82 • &~ 'OW~·&tutind • f; Attention is on Palmer as :eengals hold first scrimmage 8v MURRAY EVANS Associated Press· ,I GEORGETOWN, Ky. - Cincinnati Bengals staning quarterback Jon Kitna understands why there's so much attention focused on third-string QB Carson Palmer. "He's the No. l pick overall," Kitna said Friday night after the Bengals' intrasquad scrimmage at Georgetown College. "He was the best player in college last year. He's a Southern California, good-looking guy, and he'.s the backup, so he's got all the things going for him for everybody to like him . "They want to see progress, see hoYJ he's doing." Palmer completed 8 of 14 passes for 62 yards Friday. He threw an interception into the end zone to end his first HOF from PageB1 of Fame in Canton, Ohio. "No matter what time it was in the · game, overtime, double-over· : time, I was ready to go." · The run in the Super Bowl is the kind of play Allen became known for in his 16-year career in which ·he became the first player with 10,000 yards rushmg and 5,000 receiving. He finished with 12,243 . yards rushing and 5,4ll yards : receiving, ranking seventh all. time in rushing and eighth alltime in combined yardage. His 145 touchdowns is third alltime. · Allen said he always played : the game the way the "old. school guysJ"layed. "We play it for love and survival," said Allen, who also played for the Kansas City Ch1efs. "The players today, they have endorsements and : other deals. Ther don't have to : play to survive.' ' Sunday, August 3o Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant LoFION INI'ENSE, Bur A GENTLEMAN ON THE FIELD James Lofton was all alone when Jim Kelly picked up the . bad snap, scrambled and · tossed it his way for .a 13-yard : touchdown on the Buffalo : Bills' first drive of the 1990 ·Troubles · from Page 81 window of the police car to talk to a teammate who was in custody. "I stuck my head in there to : talk to him and I didn' 1 know that I'm not supposed to," Hill said. Hill pleaded guilty April 15 to driving with a suspended license and going through a red light, both misdemeanors. · He was fined $350 and • ordered to pay an additional $210 in court costs. Although the other charges were dropped, Hill still has to fend off questions about his · social life. He insists he's not a problem drinker and says he doesn't walk the streets of Huntington after hours. "I don't even go out any more and I still hear stuff like, 'oh, I hear you were somewhere Saturday' - and I worked Saturday night," Hill . said. "Right now I guess I'm the thing they're talking about. "Half of the people that come up to me, they say something about the incident and . they don't know me at alL : Then after they talk to me, : (they say), 'well, you don't seem like that kind of person."' What people will see is a 22year-old from Thpelo, Miss., who loveS'lo talk about family. His dad was his high school drive, but tossed a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Sean Brewer on the scrimmage's final play. "One was a good pass, one was a bad pass," said Palmer, the Heisman Trophy winner last year at Southern CaL ''It's just that simple." Palmer said he entered the scrimmage feeling confident, but a little unsure of what he would face. "I wasn't really sure what to expect, how much of the playbook we were going to have in by now, how many plays we'd be running," Palmer said. Palmer faced several blitzes but was never knocked down - the quarterbacks were off-limits in the otherwise full-contact scrimmage. He entered on the second series - after Kitna led a 70-yard TD drive -and guided the offense from its own 40 to the defense's 15. On a third-and-9 play, Palmer's pass TOKYO (AP) - The Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a strong game from rookie quarterback Chris Simms and picked up where they left off last season, defeating the New York Jets 3014 Saturday in the overshot wide receiver Ron Dugans and was intercepted by strong safety JoJuan Armour. 'Tm getting there," Palmer said. "But that's going to take some time. I'm getting closet to that." Bengals coach Marvin Lewis declined to assess Palmer's scrimmage performance before looking at film, but said the quarterback has made good progress in training camp. "He has been working extremely hard and he handles things very good," Lewis said. "He's got such a good stature. He's handling the pressures. Today he seemed to handle pointing things out" during the scrimmage. "I'm pleased with his temperament," Lewis said. "I'm pleased with what he's done during this training camp. He knows what he's here to do, and that is to become a great quarterback." AFC championship game. The rout was on - the Bills beat the Los Angeles Raiders 51-3 - and Lofton was on his way to another big game against a former team. Lofton didn't dance or get in any Raiders' faces after the frrst of his two touchdowns that day. He just came off the field as he always did, Bills coach Marv Levy recalled. "You could read it in his face, but he was too much of a gentleman to give them the finger or anything," Levy said. When Lofton retired in 1993,. he had 764 catches for 14,004 yards - then an NFL record - in a career that included stops with Green Bay, the Los Angeles Raiders, Rams and Philadelphia Eagles. "I'd been through the balloting for a couple years, so you get a little anxious," Lofton, 47, said. "When you see how many great players there are (on the ballot) in their own right, you're pretty humbled. "It 1s the final compliment that you can be paid." Drafted out of Stanford by Green Bay in 1978, Lofton excelled even when the Packers didn't. He made the Pro Bowl seven times in his nine years with Green Bay before being traded to the Raiders in 1987. 1\vo years later, the Raiders let him go and he joined the Bills. for the family bathroom. The happy ending was a long time coming for Joe DeLamielleure. Eighteen years after he retired from the NFL, and II years after he was conned out of $240.000 in life savings, the Pro Football Hall of Fame finally came calling for the offensive lineman. On Sunday, he 'II be inducted in Canton, and DeLamielleure (da·LAHM-a-loor) insists no oqe will enjoy the moment more than he will. · "It makes it all the more worth it. I think you have to go through some really tough times to understand what it means," DeLamielleure said. "You've just got to suck it up. It's true. I'm telling you. There's no way in heck 10 years ago that you would' ve ever thought we would've got to this point. · "Because it was rough. It was tough." A man who came to be known as "Joe D" . was born the ninth of I0 children in a family that lived in the shadow of a car factory. He got his start in football when his mother suggested that he could shower at school by joining a sports team thereby avoiding the long lines coach and he has three brothers and three cousins who played college sports. He treats his elders with respect, often answering questions with a polite "yes, sir," and he's not worried about skepticism over his leadership, because he saw how Leftwich overcame similar doubts after taking over for Chad Pennington in 2000. "How could you be put under more pressure than be on national TV and playing for the conference championship against the second-best team .in the league on national TV?" Pruett said. "(It's the) first game he?s started since he was a high school senior. He comes in and has a great football game." Over the past four years, Marshall has basked in the attention given to Pennington and Leftwich, Heism,an Trophy candidates in 1999 and 2002, respectively. Now, there's negative attention similar to what Marshall went through with star receiver Randy Moss' troubles in "He was like, 'I've got a lot of pressure, but you've just got to see what I can do," Hill said of Leftwich. "That's kind of how I'm looking at it. I don't get very pressured or lose my cool." When asked how he believes Hill will handle this team, coach Bob Pruett answers without hesitation: "Very well." Pruett quickly points to the Miami game as an example.1996 and 1997. Pruett has had numerous discussions with Hill, his parents and otllers involved in his court case. The coach has taken undisclosed disciplinary action against HilL · It's up to Hill to stay out of the· traps that can lead to public scrutiny, Pruett said. "He understands that," Pruett said. "The deal is, is there any part of it acceptable"~ No. And we've already stated that. Are we taking measures to correct it? Yes. How strong are they? That's between Stan and I and the other folks. There's no sense in putting that out there." Rather than going on a public relations campaign to boost Hill's image, Marshall would rather let the matter take its own course. "Stan has to solve that with his actions," Pruett said. And just as Leftwich and Pennington were student leaders, Pruett is bahking on Hill to follow in those roles . "Stan is a pretty good guy. He's been a model citizen until this hapJ?Cned," Pruett said. "I hope he s had an eye-opener. Maybe he's learned how to handle success better." Hill is ready. , "My team knows me," Hill said. ' "That's all that really matters. Because they're the ones that are going to be following · me into battle. They know I'm a good guy and that I'll lead them until the end."

"We had great ~ople, and you just can't win If you don't have great people," said Hank Stram. "You can't win if you don't have a great attitude, great discipline. I always thought that attitude was more important than intellect. That's the way our team was." The franchise 's first -coach, Stram took over the expansion Dallas Texans of the upstart AFL in 1960 and guided them through 1974-11 years after the team moved to Kansas City and was renamed the Ch1efs. The gregarious, stocky and blazer-wearing Stram - carrying a rolled up game plan in his hand - led the Chiefs to AFL titles in '62, '66 and '.69 and appearances in Super Bowls I and IV Stram later coached two seasons in New Orleans and enjoyed a successful second career on CBS and Monday Night Football radio booths as a color commentator.

A string of accidents and mechanical failures, including an engine problem that foiled a strong run at Pocono last weekend, have left him with virtually no chance of winning the title again. He 's been as low as 20th in points, is currently 14th, and has just one victory this year. But Stewart has yet to yell at a reporter, charge after a NASCAR official, or insult a fan- all things he's done in years pasL "I think winning the championship has helped Tony. It took a lot of pressure off." Gibbs said. "He doesn' t seem to let as many small things bother him. I think the second thing is probably a maturing process over a period of time. 1 think he's handled everything very well thi s year." into a stock car and race as well as the established drivers. Ganassi liked Mears' racing experience, but realized that just one season in a Busch series car might not be enough to prepare him for the next leveL "My expectation with Casey for his rookie season was to see how well he adapted to Winston Cup racing," said Ganassi, a former CART driver. "He has taken quite a leap here . moving into Winston Cug. ·His racing skills have shown through this season, as he is learning and adapting to this form of racing. Casey is right on track ,with his developments." Ganassi is giving Mears every chance to excel as he grows into the job. That's why Mears did the 900-mile Pocono triple last weekend, winning twice in the ARCA series before posting a 35thplace finish Sunday in the Pennsylvania 500. Crew chief Jimmy Elledge sees Mears' maturity as a plus that allows him to concentrate on preparing the car. "He doesn't require a lot of building up," Elledge said. "He doesn't let things get to him." Among those. things is the pressure that goes with driving for one of the world's most demanding and successful car owners. Ganassi has never hesitated to fire drivers who .didn't perform up to expectations. Mears grew up in CART where he won in Indy Lights - and was familiar with Ganassi's reputation. He got · into NASCAR at toe sug~es­ tion of his father, who dnves Casey's motorhome from track to track . But Casey had his doubts. "There was a big question in my mind," he said. "Chip's always been great to me, but the things that happened in the past to other drivers made me nervous. I thought, ' I am I going to get the proper time I need to develop?' But he's 180 degrees opposite of what I thought, and hugely supportive. ,. Elledge marvels at his driver's ability to ignore speculation that Mears must produce to stav in the ride. The crew chie(believe s that will be achieved, and · Ganassi goes even further. "Our goal with Casey is to develop him into a great stock car driver," the car owner said. "That takes time ." Elledge says very little of his time is spent propping up the young driver,_ who is s howin~ virtually no signs of frustratiOn as he learns his trade. "We have gone into a few races with terrible cars from Happy Hour and he hasn't really carried that over from Saturday to Sunday," Elledge explained. "Sumday is a new day and he gives 100 per- cent." Mears is grateful for the support but knows why he's dnving the car - especially because it bears the Target · logo Jimmy Vasser, Alex Zanardi and Juan Pablo Montoya carried to CART championships. "We· re not here to be top 20 or top 15," he said. "We have sponsors that want to win races."., TIRID OF JUST HAVING A JOB? LOOKING FOR NIW CARIIR?

Brown at times seems on a single-handed mission to promote walleye fishing as the backbone of his northern Ohio town's economy. And he recently hosted his eighth annual senior citizen fishing day. "It's just great to see these folks having a great time," Brown said. The free trip was open to all interested anglers, age 55 and up on a" first-come, firstserved basis. "I've been taking kids fishing for years, so this seemed like a natural outgrowth of that," Brown said. Port Clinton is known for walleye fishing thanks in a great part to Brown's efforts. Usually part of the townwide walleye festival held Memorial Day weekend, due to bad weather this year's event was postponed to late July. The anglers caught 33 walleye, slightly less lhan last year. "But, last year we had exceptional weather and it was also earlier in the season," Brown said. Water temperatures were in the lower 70s, and boat ~plains say the fish are moving toward Canadian waters past the bass islands. The walleye are expected to keep m<;~ving toward the deeper waters of the cenual basm off of Huron and Cleveland as the August heat warms the shallow western basin. While · many anglers are reporting some of the best catches seen in recent years, the state is concerned about the fuiure as walleye reproduction has been poor in two of the past three years, said Gary Isbell, executive administrator for the Division of Wildlife's Fish Management and Research Program. "Poor weather conditions during .recent springs have resulted in inconsistent and minimal walleye reproduction in Lake Erie,' Isbell said. "The outlook for the 2003 hatch is not good, based on the cold, stormy spring this year." Earlier this spring the division proposed conservation measures designed to provide long-term stability for Lake Erie 's walleye popIllations, which may result in significant new fishing regulations in the' 2004 season. The proposals, will be finalized and presented later this summer to the Ohio Resources. CENTRAL OHIO Greenfield Lake (Fairfield Countv) This 12-acre Fah1ield County lake supports a good population of channel caHish . This is a go9d lake for beginning anglers: however, the best time to catch catfish Is at night. Use cut baits, chicken livers. and night crawlers fished along the boHom for best results.

Plans· include reducing the spring limit on walleye from four to three fish per da~ from March I through Apnl 30. The daily limit would otherwise remain at six. Also planned is a yearround walleye size limit of 15 inches, "I understand the need to protect the future of this fishery and at the same time, I understand the concerns of the charter boat people,'' Brown said of the proposed regulations. The Professional Walleye Tournament in April brou~ht in $1.4 million to the ell~. "But if we don't protect th1s fishery. we won~t be having them m the future," he said. On the senior citizen trip, the largest caught was 19 inches by Ron Klotpz of nearby Rising Sun . Klotpz, who is in his mid60s. said he and his cousin Carl Klotpz have been going on the trip for four years. "This almost has become a family reunion for us. We look forward to this day and seeing all our friends we have made on the boat," Carl Klotpz said. If the changes are approved, seniors on next year's trip probably would keep fewer fish. Klotpz's 19-inch walleye was one of just a few that topped 15 inches. • 5 Coun e'\J .

Don't let a hot c~r spoil your groc~ries I ge t nervous putting per- ishable food in my hot car on the way home from the grocery store . Wil) it go bad ? Ge nerally, you can keep pe ri sh-able food at room temperature fot about two hours before enough bacteria or other pathogens have a chance 10 multiply enough to get you sick . In fac t, the "danger zo ne" for bac teria gro wth is anywhe re from 40 degrees F ahrenheit to 140 de grees 'F. That is, cold foods :shoul d be kept under 40 ·degrees as much as po ~ s i ­ ble. and hot foo ds shoul d be kept above 140 degrees. Whe n yo u brin g meat. milk and other perishable :foods home from the gro:ce ry store, . c hances are ·yo u' ll be well under th at ge neral two -hour time limi t. But if temperatures ge t into the 90s - and hot . Becky Collins Nesbitt cars can be a lot holler than that - then that time frame shorten s to an hour. Definitely keep that in mind as you head home. and as you plan your path through the store . For example , what if you put meat in your grocery cart earl y in yo ur shoppin g trip and the n spend another hou r go ing throu gh the store and standing in · th ~ checkout line? And , if you happen to li ve out in the country, or like to shop at a store a long way from home (or a severely congestedtra ffi c- area wa y from home) , then your perishable ite ms just mi ght perish before you get them home and safely tucked in the fridge . What can you do ? First, plan your shopping sensibly. If it 's going to be a long trip, shop the canned and boxed food aisles first , then the produce are a, then head for fro zen items, meat and dairy. Then, pack your car. On hot days. put peri shabl e items in the air-conditioned ba ck seat in stead of the trunk. If that's not poss ible and it's going to be a long trip home, put a cooler in the trunk and stock it with ice be fore leaving for the sto re. Pul the fro zen foods and peri shable items in it for th e trip home. Don ' t put cold/froze n items in a hot cooler. It 's just like pulling the m into the hot ,trunk . Be sure to cool the cooler with ice first. Finally, go straight home and put the cold food items away first. Another safety tip: As you pack your grocery cart, keep raw meat, poultry and seafood separate from ready-to-eat foods like let ~ tuce and apples. You don ' t want the raw juices, which could contain bacteria that is kill ed when cooked, to contaminate food s that aren ' t cooked before you eat the m. In fact, you niight con sider pulling raw meats in plastic bags before you put them in your cart to help preve nt juice s from sme arin g on other items.

It's a noble idea, but it probably won't bappen anytime soon. : Granted. the subject of war is f;-r more complell than that of tackling a writing assignment. but to the writer. it can Jle just as agonizing. • There seems to be two iunds of writers in the world ~ · those who like to write. and those who write only when they have to. If you lean toward the first kind. but :Vour child is more like the ~econd. read on. ~ In asking myself what makes some people enjoy writing. while others would rather count sheep. I decided .to go straight to the source l (iecided to ask my eight-year old daughter. "Laura. honey." 1 asked: "What do you like about writing''" "Mom", she replied: "Why are you asking me that question''" "Laura 1 I'm on a deadline: just answer the question." Once she successfully negotiated for an all-expense paid trip to the county fair, as well as her Jlame and remarks included within this article. we were good to go. "I like to write poems and draw pictures along with it". she remarked. her tiny voice elluding glee. : As we discussed writing. J;he noted: "Most of the time.' jt just happens as I'm writing the story. The ideas come into (llY hea·d - it just falls into place." I know what she means. When asked what prompts her story ideas. she noted "nature and animals ." :At about this time, one of her brothers gave her a string of tiny. purple beads about three caterpillars long. She held it up. dangled it in front of her and speaking in an ominous l.one. declared: "The Magic Beads. that' s what I'll write :;tbout next." Whether she' ll ever write that story, I' II need not .worry. The point. is that she's hooked. Now, if I were to ask her seven-year old twin brothers, Matthew and Marshall (they'll be looking for their names) the same question, l would be received with a collective; "We don't know." lt seems they would rather poke siicks into .their eyes than to Write a story. Then again. they are still developing confidence in their reading and writing skills, so asking them to write a story is just too overwhelming a proposition at this point. If this sounds familiar at your house, you're not alone. Getting your kids ex~ited about writing can be a frustrating endeavor, but it doesn't have to be. There are lots of activities for achieving this with minimal expense. What you will require, is time. · l know, in this time-challenged culture, we all seem to easily whine about how little Diane Nader- Epling time we have. Tmst me . there is time in the day. week to help your children become happy. interested writers. and it won't take as much tune as you would expect. First. read to your kids regularly. The more they heal good literature. the more nch their vocabulary. and the more automatized their usa~e of appropriate grammar w11l be. Listening to stories such as nurserv rhvmes. fairytales. and mythology will filii their minds with creative thought. Have on hand a children's dictionary and thesaurus. and use them as word-finding activities. Provide your children with venues in which to hear good writing. and to engage in the practice of good writing. Attend plays. Enroll in drama classes. Journaling is a wonderful place to stan. lt doesn' t have to entail a diary format. lt can take the form of a photo-journal - a scrapbook of photos the child has taken. along with his writings in caption format. Nature journals are another territlc way to employ writing in a more sc ientifi c manner: recording observlltions. labeling one's sketches. and inducting poetry. if one is so inclined . Use sketchbooks with pages that are blank on the top half- for photos. pressed flowers. drawings. and the lower half. ruled, for writing · remarks. Cartooning is a fun way for the reluctant ones to take pleasure in their creative writing attempts. Writing silly greeting cards or a cookbook of family-favorite recipes can help to spark interest. For those · children just learning to write. or younger still. write down their narrations and have them draw pictures to go along with the stories. Always make time to listen to their storytelling, and always with a look of bemused interest. This will encourage them to continue to ex plore creative talk, which will later translate to creative writing . Talk to your children about the world around them. Help them to explore their feel ings, and then help them to find the words to create stories, for oral and/or written narratives. Learning grammar doesn't have to be difficult and it certainly does not have to be dull. Three books. all written by Brian P. Cleary. and illustrated oy Jenya Prosmitsky, are sure to get students excited about grammar and writing. · ln each book: "A Mink. a Fink. a Skating Rink - What ls a Noun?:" "To Root, to Toot. to Parachute - What ls a Verb'':" and "Hairy. Scary. Ordinary - What ls an Adjective·!," target grammar in highlighted. colored text: · the illustrations reinforcing the grammatical concepts. These books connect with kids. usi ng humor to te<tch not nearly as dull as diagramming (ugh! ). If you are uncertain about how your child is doing. with regard to grade-level writing proficiency, may l highly recommend reading, "How Well Does Your Child Write''" by Ann Cook. a linguist (studies language) and researcher. She has written a very complete and compassionate book, outlining rubrics (guidelines or markers) for grades kindergarten through five. These step by step assessments provide a means for "measuring" your child's writing skills. She then provides you with techniques to develop them. This author understands the important relationship between strong language skills and proficient writing abilities. One more thing. lt is important to encourage children, yes even in midil!e and high school. to write manually. They will be using niore complell brain activity. writing in this manner than by computer. The information will be embedded. neurologically. to a far greater degree than if they simply tap the lettered keys. If l had a magic wand. and permission by The Dept . of Education , l would rid all elementary school classrooms of computers. The push, in the last decade, to put computers in every elementary school classroom has managed only to push down reading and writing proficiencies among elementary school-aged children, to say nothing of their so-called "attention deficits." Get the caffeine out of the schools. Computers and caffeine do not help quiet the brain so that it can process in a way that reading and writing demands - the research supports this.

There is a special bark or meow for hunger. for fright for anention. Each of the humans in these novels desires communication with the animal involved. Carolyn Parkhurst's debut novel, 'TheJ)ogs of Babel,' is built upon a strange premise. Can humans and animals truly communicate'' Can a dog be taught to talk? The story begins with the death of Paul Iverson 's wife, Lexy. in a fall from an apple tree. Was it accidents. or was it suicide? The only creature present was her beloved Rhode sian Ridgeback dog , Lorelei. Paul is a professor of linguistics. He believes the only way he can discover the truth about his wife's death is to teach the dog to talk. The nove I retraces the romance of Paul and Lexy, from their first meeting at her ard sale. to their weeklong first date, which includes a trip to Disney World, to her outbursts of rage and irrationality. The book deals with grief and guilt and the special loneliness which comes from the unexpected death of a spouse. The dog plays a major part in the novel and you will learn to love her.

PBS concert series Soundstage makes comeback CHICAGO (AP) Soundstage, the PBS series that put viewers in the front row of concerts by artists ranging from Bob Dy Ian to the Temptations, is back on television after being muscled out I 8 years ago by the music video. Those behind the series hope its raw approach - no glitz, just music - appeals to those put off by the record industry's focus on glamour. "The bet on our part: The fans are intelligent euough to appreciate the art of performance," said director Joe Thomas. The new series debuted Thursday with a performance by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Future performers in the 13-part weekly series include country star Trace Adkins, rockers Sonic Youth and pop singer Tori Amos. The hourlong shows are taped in front of a live audience at the WTTW-TV studios in Chicago. The Public Broadcasting Service affiliate, which also produced the original series, keeps editing to a minimum. Performers are encouraged to talk with the audience, and if artists make mistakes, the cameras capture it all. That formula is similar to what propelled the original series, which ran from 1974 to 1985 . lt was groundbreaking when the normal way musiciaM reached television viewers was to lipsynch a hit or two on pro- grams such as The Ed Sullivan Show and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. By contrast, Soundstage gave fans hourlong concerts from big names - Aretha Franklin, Benny Goodman and more - in an intimate studio environment. , "It was a little more offthe-cuff kind of talking and playing," said 50-year-old Steven Kay, who owns the Vintage Vinyl record store in Evanston and was a 'fan of the original Soundstage. "It was the kind of show where you got to know an artist deeper and more personally than if they just appeared on the Smothers Brothers Show and played a few songs." It still is, only this time Soundstage is shot with high-definition cameras and digital surround sound. The producers hope the new technology helps better capture the look and feel of a live show. "There were cameras all over the place," said Lee Loughnane. member of the band · Chicago, whose Soundstage performan ce will air July 26. "No flash pots, no dancing girls, no background si1~gers . We just did our thing." With the first season in the can, WTTW and partner HD Ready, a suburban video company. are planning for a second. Singer-songwriter 'shery l Crow will be taping next week. Thomas said. Randy King, WTT:.V execu- tive television producer, said the station is working to schedule groups such as Coldplay. A Tribe Called Quest and Radiohead. Not everyone believes such a performance series can last. Audiences used to slick music videos might think concerts fall flat on TV, VH I· executive Bill Flanagan said. "The single thing that makes a concert most compelling is that you're in the room with th,e artist," Flanagan said. "When you put that o·n TV you've almost lost that." But singer Michael McDonald, who performed on the old series as frontman for the Doobie Brothers and appears as a solo act on a new show, sees a place for Soundstage. "So much of what we see today kind of harkens to stage productions of 'Guys and Dolls,"' McDonald said. "(Videos) have got all the dancers and all the stuff going on that kinda creates an ambiance that sort of distracts from the music. "With Soundstage, you get that kind of view into what is the core of the musical.performing act." MATINEES WEDTHRUSUN BOX OFFICE OPENS 6:30 PM MON & TUES • Celebl'llting_ special .dtlys·With you!

Austrians rediscover Arnold · VIENNA, Austria (AP) It's a question that's got Austria abuzz: Will the 'Terminator become the Governator?

Suddenly. the man known here simply as "Arnie" has become a national obsession. Across the tranquil alpine country, there is widespread speculation over the actor's chances as a potential Republican contender - and bemusement at the American enthusiasm for celebrity candidates.

Schwarzenegger, who turns 56 on Wednesday, is still known locally by his nickname back when he was competing in international bodybuilding events: the "Steirische Eiche,'' or "Styrian Oak." Until recently, his popularity in Austria was mostly confined to Graz, which built Schwarzenegger Stadium. a l 5,350-seat soccer venue. in honor of its most famous son. The city even planned to erect an 82-foot steel statue of Schwarzenegger in a downtown park until the actor terminated the idea last autumn, saying he was flattered but that the $5 million could be better spent on social l?rojects or the Special Olympics. Schwarzeneg4ler visits regularly, albeit bnetly and quietly, and in general he hasn't sparked significantly more interest or press coverage in Austria than he does anywhere else. Until now. Newspapers , magazines and televtsion shows are rife with reports on Schwarzenegger and hi s politicall!Jllbitions, spiced by Irreverent commentary on the American penchant for electmg entertamers.

"Ohman. !hats a challenge," says Hillman, chief storage expert for Lowes. "Moving to sc hool is an education by itself. You really need to think your way through the process rather than simply cram everything in the trunk of a car." The normal impulse of college-bound farnihes is-to pack everything for the move in one s~oop. Hillman suggests a rGiad less traveled to both lishten the load and make transport and on campus storase stmpler and easier. Homework lesson No. I is to learn as much as possible about the dorm room or off-<:ampus apartment before arriving on campus. "Ask the college or apartment manager for room dimensions and closet sizes, or go online for that information," advises Hillman. On-campus orientations.are a good time to take a peek at rooms. And when youre ready to pack for school, pack light . Plastics earn straight As for light wei~ht, durability, ease of handhng, low cost, and multipurpose storability. · ·Plastic boxes and flat storage containers do double duty as cargo containers and never need unpacking to serve as night stands, printer- or TV tables, and below-bed storage. The minimal weight is a real plus as you climb stairs or jostle for elevator space. Families who resist bringillg shelving and racks before they see the room tirsthand can save even more weight and muscle strains. "Schools usually prohibit fastening storage to walls, ceilings or woodwork. You can always buy plastic shelves and racks pretty inexpensively. But wait to buy until youve seen the room." Pop-up plastic shelving is the exception to Hill mans no-haul rule. The inexpensive shelves expand from 12 inches to a sturdy 4-1/2 feet tall and take up little car space. Cheap plastic crates collapse and nest atop one another. Other on site buys: plastic clothes bins. shower caddies and hanger sysfems that drape on door backs. Yet hard-to-e~ items such as TVs, small refrigerators and furniture need back-saving solutions. Lightweight hand trucks and furniture dollies are just the ticket. "For under $40 you can get a collapsible hand tritck or a furniture doll~ with four wheels for $25,' says Hillman, who notes those tools come in handy at home once the college move is done. Check with your roommate so you dont both bring the same appliances. No trip to college is complete without at least minimal cleaning supplies to snare dust bunnies and corral dirty clothe s. Mops and brooms with du st-attracting qualities often feature telescoping handles for easy storage . While youre at it, bring a small tool box fitted with basic tools. "Learning how and what to move isnt the most important lesson in college, but it is a life skill," says Hillman . "Take as little as possible, and what you do take should be multipurpose and easily carried." (Lowe's is a national chain of nearly 750 home-improl'emenr, appliance and gardenillg .!tores.)

Tires are 16-inchers on the base trim level - the S model and 17-inchers on the uplevel SL and SE models . But 1'<t prefer a bit fancier wheels on the Quest. The wheels on the test SL didh't add much to an otherwise expressive vehicle. Note that N is san does not offer an all-wheel-dri\'e version of this van, while competitors such as the Grand Caravan and Pontiac Montana can be had with allwheel drive. There's only one Quest engine. and its Nissan 3.5liter, double overhead cam V6 that also capably powers other Nissan vehicles. In the test SL, this powerplant generated 240 horsepower and was mated to a four-speed automatic. The en~ine has a fivespeed automatic in the SE. I could, on occasion . feel shift points, but they weren' t jerky, in the test Quest. Power came on strongly each time 1 demanded more through the accelerator. and even on a long uphill climb on a highway, the Quest kept up its pace without acting as if it was being !logged . In city traffic. the Quest tester easil y zipped imo traftic and got up to speed efficiently. Torque is 242 foot-pounds at 4,400 rpm - on a par with Toyota's 230-horsepo~er Sienna and the 240horsepowcr Honda Odyssey.· 1 didn 't do too well in fue l usage. however, averaging just 19.7 miles a gallon in 50-50 city/highway dri ving in the test van . Safety items are noteworthy in this new van . Curtain airbag s in the ceilin g are standard on all Quest mode ls. ·So are antilock brakes (ABS), Brake Assist and Brake Force Distribution. Traction control which works to reduce wheelspin, say, during aquick startup at a traftic light. is standard on the SL and on the top-of-the- line SE is part of a whole vehicle stability control system. Buyers will appreciate the drop-into-the-floor third-row seating that goes down tlat into a cavity in the Quest cargo area, so you don ' t need to haul the seat out and leave it somewhere. This is an innovation pioneered some years ago by Honda in the Odyssey and quickly copied b~ other automakers. In the Quest tester. though, I found I had to basically climb into the cavity to get enough "oomph" to pull the rather heavy. full -bench seat back and into the cavity. Also, 1 wish the gaps between the hood and the qther front bod~ panels ~f the Quest weren t so prominent. And I wonder why Nissan officials didn't hide the sliding door tracks by tllcking them under the rearmosl stde windows as many other automakers have done. Nissan looks to sell about 85 .000 Quests annually. Eighty percent of buyers are expected to be women . most between J4 and 45Jears of age. a spokesman sat . Median household income is likely to be about $88,00.), and most buyers will have younger children at home, he satd, adding that buyers are likely to be college graduates in prot'essionaVmanagerial jobs. There have been no safety recall s of the new-to-themarket 2004 Quest. and the federal government does not have cra sh-lest ratings for this new model. Consumer Reports has no reliabilit y report on this new va n, either. �HEAI.TH PageD2 & "FI'I'NESS Sunday,August3,2003 Expa~rdability: Any good piece of equipment should meet your titness needs and grow with you.

Most of us have experienced the · downside of this at least once in our life. Another favorite is 2'l/20 hindsight. Those of you who love your automobiles probably take this to heart by: changing the oiVfilter AT LEAST as frequently as recommended; checking tire pressure; rotating tires; new spark plugs; air filter; and the list goes on. You also have to use your car as it was designed. One of the worst things you can do is allow a car to sit. While you are driving it, you listen to what it is telling you -noises (new and changing of the old familiar ones). handling characteristics. etc. It is also easier to pick up subtle changes if the car is fine-tuned. You can use this "earix warning" to prevent a sigmficant incident from happening that could cause you serious injury down the line. The same is true for your body. In January 2000, ·the Department of Health and Human Services started "Healthy People 2010," a program to fully cover promoting the nation's health and to prevent disease . Healthy People 20 I0 contain 467 objectives to improve the health of all people in the United States during the first part of the 21st century. Two far reaching goals: (I. increasing the quality and years of healthy life: and 2.e liminating the differences in health between groups of individuals) helped develop these objectives that will actually measure progress in our health as a nation. These objectives are set up into 28 focus areas, each representing an important public health area. Each obJective has a target for improvements to be achieved by the year 20 I0. A small set of the objectives, known as the Stephen Popper Leading Health Indicators. are to help everyone more easily understand the importance of health promotion and disease prevention.

The car analogy is a perfect example -don't take care of it and it will be more difficult to know when something is going wrong (in the early, more treatable stages); it won't last as long as it should; it won't be operating at peak efficiency; and you won't be enjoying it as much as you could be. You probably won't be collecting the retirement that you worked so hard for over the years for as long as you hoped for either. A soberin~ statistic is that those indivtduals who retire and become/remain "couch potatoes" collect their retirement for only 19 months! Keep active, mentally and physically. RUN, don't walk to Jour health care provider an ask about the thmgs you can do to enjoy your life to the fullest: cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, body weight, nutrition, dental exam, full eye examination, stop smoking. exercise, mammograms, colonoscopies, bone density evaluations. The list goes on and on. The timing for these can differ among individuals based on gender. age. medical history, and family histo. ry.

"Health and Learning: A Powerful Tool" was the title of Ohio's annual coordinated school health conference which was held at Salt Fork State Park in Cambridge, Ohio, June 17- 19. I had attended this conference once before and was privi' leged to go again this year, along with two teachers and the Director of Health Services from the Gallipolis City Schools. A representative from the Department of Tobacco Prevention from Holzer Medical Center joined us also. For over a decade, educators in Ohio have had the opportunity to attend this conference. Using the principles of a "coordi_nated approach." the schrnjl districts focus on reinforcing and improving staff and student behaviors and skills. Over the years this conference. sponsored by The State Planning Committee for Health Education in Ohio (SPCHEO), has made many changes in order to meet the changing demands of the school health issues. The process assists school districts in forming a productive interdisciplinary team. These "school health teams" then assess their strengths and weaknesses, prioritize their needs and then put together an action plan that can be implemented during the school year. Some of the issues that schools have focused on are: healthier food choices in school cafeterias and vending machines, staff wellness programs, walking programs for both staff and students, and policies for tobacco free school grounds. At this year's conference, Cynthia Symons, D.Ed., Kent State University, in her keynote address, "Parent Engagement: A Foundation Janet Johnson For School Success And Risk Reduction." quoting Epstein, ASBJ, 9/01 stated" the greatest impact on student achievement comes from family participation in well-designed, at-hom~ activities. and this is true regardless of the family. racial or cultural background or the parents· formal education." She went on to say that the " cookiebaking. word processing , candy selling, shufnin~. showing up activities traditionally associated with parent involvement are not likely to have much impact on student achievement." Mrs. Symons, a strong advocate of meaningful parental involvement, says that parents m11st take an active part in all aspects. Know where your kids are and with whom they are s~nding time . Help orgamze kids' schedules and see that routines are followed. He!~ with homework. Parttcipation in homework affirms that this is important, not only to the child, but also to you. Begin reading to your children at an early age and let them read to you often as they begin to learn. Dr. Nick Baird. director of the Ohio Department of Health, recently made this observation; "It's interesting that in the 21st century-after a century in which we eliminated such killers as smallpoX-children are once again so much at risk. But nine million American children are carrying excess weight. And. if this trend continues, this generation of school children may · become the first in modem times to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents!'' Taking into consideration that childhood obesity has dominated the morning, afternoon and evening news for the past several months. and that health officials in the United States have labeled obesity an "epidem. ic" that is fueled by poor eating habits, and a lack of physical activity. it behooves us one and all to get involved . Shocking, but true. Add to that these statistics: 33.4 percent of all high school students smoke; 15.3 percent of all Ohio male high school studenli use smokeless tobacco or spit tobacco; 36,000 Ohio kids under 18 became new daily smokers at home in Ohio; 919,000 kids are exposed to secondhand smoke at home in Ohio; and 12 .5 million packs of cigarettes are bought or smoked by Ohio kids each year. What can you do? Involve the entire family in more physical activities such as biking, tennis, roller skating. bowling, and hiking. These are fun and healthy things that friends and families can do together. Keep nutrition in mind when buying snacks and keep those sweet things for special occasions. For more information on healthy eating and physical activity, contact the Gallia County Health Department at 441 2950.
