Racine Mayor Scott Hill said that · the local department will use the money to purchase a breathing air compressor, se lf-contained breathing apparatus , a thermal imagery camera, various connections, nozzles and hose and 20 sets of turno.ut gear. He said the VFD plans to put in an additional IQ percent of the grant l)loney, which will bring the amount which can be spent to update the equipment to nearly $106,000. The improved equipment including updating the hose to five inches to supply more water, s!JOuld affect the fire insurance ratings, Hill said. "Homeowners should benefit from that because it will make their insurance cost less,'.' he said. Currently, the village is in the process of purchasing a new fire truck. Three bids opened at last week's meeting are under review by the fire department and a decision could come as early as thi s week . . With the exception of about $10,000, the truck - expected to cost about $250,000 - will be paid for with fund s from a current one·mill levy in Lebanon, Letart and Sutton townships and Racine Village . That amount will be borrowed by the fire department, Hill said. The final payment was made recently on the new building which houses the equipment arid the money going for those payments will go toward paying off the. money put down on the new truck, the mayor said. 17, 2001 Violence awareness Andrea Hartzog, director of Prestera Center for Mental Health Services in Huntington, paints the fa.ce of Point Pleasant Middle School student Rebecca Rist,14, during the school 's observance of Violence Awareness Week.

Steele, 60, 607 First Ave., Gallipolis, Birds of different color mystify residents BY KEVIN KELLY News editor GALLIPOLIS- There's a question Shirley Dailey and her husband Larry want answered: What are those unusual birds roosting in trees by their house? The Daileys, who live on Solar Drive off Bulaville Pike, ftrSt .noticed the birds last ·Monday when a strange noise got Shirley's attention. . Eventually, the birds, five of them staying closely together, revealed themselves when they settled on branches of trees at their residence. They are parrot-like, green in color with some yellow on their breasts, but with notable differences, according to Shirley's observation. Their size is smaller than a parrot's and closer to that of a mourning dove. They don't have the long tails common to parrots, their beaks are smaller, and the noise they make is dissimilar to the familiar cackling of a parrot. The birds always stay in a cluster, Shirley said. The birds have usually been appearing in the after· noon and are gone before dark. Shirley suspects they are spending their nights in the nearby woods. and she is curious about what they have been living on since ther. have not yet sampled the bird feeder in the yard. "I don't know where they came from," Shirley said, adding that she wonders if they may be some kind of exotic type that got away from a pet store. ''They look exactly like a parrot," she said.

"I'm anx" jous to find out some answers, because this is the first time I've ever seen them." · Being a bird fancier, Shirley said he's doing research to attach a name to her visitors, which 'returned · again Saturday despite the rain.

Two Ohio Supreme Court rulings have ordered a systematic overhaul that would lessen the heavy reliance on local property taxes to support primary and secondary education. A third pointed to a compromise with the balky executive and legislative branches , but the cost in additional state dollars could not be settled. The court has been reconsidering since . last November. · Several justices now feel it is high time to resolve the litigation. They are right. It is time to wrap up the DeRolph case before a new court · convenes in January. Chief Ju stice Thomas Moyer intends to push for the action, rightly concluding that the rulings since 1997 are the product of a single group of justices. · He is supported by the re-elected Evelyn Lundberg Stratton, who concluded, "It's the right thing ethically to do."

Mr. Coleman, I think most of us would have to think that everyone is setting back watching you and a few others make a spectacle of yourselves. As for the most part, we are exhausted from the whining and moaning we've endured for the pas~ year involving the Gavin plant. Having no pollution is a really good concept, but there is a realistic bottom line to it. Along with the generation of electric energy, a " major' ~ convenience that we all enjoy and depend on comes a "few" inconveniences that we must . accept. . . There are four ways I can .think of for convenient production of electricity, coal-fired plants, nuclear plants, hydro plants and windmills: The only logical one for our area being coal-fired plants. Coal-fired plants conveit heat energy .. into .electJ:ic energy anq as we are all aware, to produce heat, we need fire , and when' there is fire. there is smoke. Coal-fired plants as well as other indusuies .that burn fossil fuels operate under strict laws that govern emissions. Most companies, including the James M. Gavin plant and Kyger Creek plant, do .their very best to comply with these laws. Many families in the tri-state area have .at least one family member involved in the production of electricity, and a lot of thesefeople are involved in the compliance o the emissions laws. It would seem that we are accusing our own family and friends of trying to harm our own children and us. Take a · little time arid think of what you are implying. · Can any of us actually move to a place where there is no form of pollution or power plants? I don't feel we can. The big question is, can we or will we do without electric energy? We all know the answer ·to that. The production of electricity has not only made America the greatest industrial nation, but also it lights our h·omes, businesses, our churches , and our schools. It also has in the medical field alone saved many of our loved ones. Allowed medical technology to ~dvance to a level one can hardly imagme . Now I ask you to take a moment and think ·of our great nation without electricity, think of what it provides and think of wflat you would do without it, if it were gone forever. There may be a time when technology will allow us to produce power without smoke. Until this happens, let's accept the wonderful things that electricity provides for us and also a:ccept the few inconveniences that go along with its production process. Where is everyone? At home cooking, reading (without oil lamps), bathing with hot water, watching televi sion, using their computer and staying warm or cool. The transfer of heat energy into electric energy provides all of these wonderful conveniences. In reality, having two power plants setting in Gallia County has given the county a great deal financially, as well as a good friend · to many groups and organizations. Call on . them and they lend, their help. As for the school system, they have been caught up in someone else's greed. They are struggling to find the best solutions, so ·please, Mr. Coleman, leave them out of your petty gripes.

Ashl~y Buffington Island Battlefield chairman .Ohio Department Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War KILPATRICK'S VIEW Distinguishing between free speech and veiled ·threats When is a threat a"true threat"? One answer could be, "A threat becomes a true threat when the threatened person is scared enough to put on a bulletproof vest," but it seems an odd way to write constitutional law. Tl)e question lies at the heart of a case now pending in . the Supreme Court on a petition for review. The case comes from the U.S. Court· of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which enjoined a group of anti-abortion activists in Oregon from threatening four physicians who provide abortion services. The activists contend that their activism is protected "free speech" under the Ftrst Amendment. Speaking through Judge Pamela Ann Rymer, the court ruled 6-5 that it is not. Under federal law, doctors who perform abortions may bring suit in federal court against any person who "by threat of force" intentionally intimidates them. These are the facts: The American Coalition of Life Activists (ACLA) embarked upon a campaign against doctors who perform abortions. Among the targets were Dr. Robert Crist in Missouri, Dr. Warren M. Hern in Colorado, and Dr. James Newhall and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Newhall, in Oregon . The idea was to persuade them to quit their practice. Toward that end the zealots of ACLA prepared and circulated ·a poster that Identified Hern1 and the Newhalls among a Deadly Dozen who are GUILTY of crimes against the unborn . The poster provided their , home and office addresses. A similar GUILTY poster provided Crist's photograph and the addresses of his home and office. A third document, k~own as the Nuremberg Files, dealt with providers James Kilpatrick COLUMNIST do." The four physicians te stified that the posters had the desired effect. Hern understandably fll.ilred assassination. Crist was "truly frightened." On advice from the FBI, after the · Deadly Dozen poster appeared, they began to wear bulletproof vests. The case law draws lines as fine as spider silk. Tt is very well to advocate violence - but only so long as the speaker doe s not really mean it. In . 1969 the Supreme Court unanimously threw out the ~onvic tion of Clarence Brandenburg for advocating violence during a rally of the Ku Klux Klan. Speech loses its protection only when advocacy" :· is directed to inciting or producmg 1mmment .lawl ess action." Thus, sa id Judg e Rymer, "while advocating violence _is ~rotectea, threatemng a person with vwlence is not." Ir the anti-abortion activi sts had merely endorse(i or encouraged the violent actions of others, they could plead the doctrine of free speech. The WANTED posters, in . th'e con te xt tif Pensacola , crossed the line - or so the 9th Circuit concl uded. My guess is that the high court wi ll agree. wl)o might one day be put on trial for crimes against humanity. In this checkoff list, lines were drawn ihrough the names of doctors who had been murdered because of their clinical practice. The four targeted physicians decided to strike back . Joined by Planned Parenthood of Columbia/Willamette and the Portland Feminist Women's Health Center, they sued for an injunc tion against the activists. They won a jury verdict in District Court- a verdict affirmed in large part by Judge Rymer 's opinion. Judge Rymer acknowledged that nei ther the posters nor the Nuremberg F1les contmned a threat on the1r face, but "the language it self is not what is threatening." In her view, a true threat emerged from the larger co ntext. The posters were part of. a pattern of deadly vio lence. She recalled eve nts in Pen sacola, Fla.·, in 1993. After R WANTED poster on Dr. David Gunn appeared, he was shot and killed. After a WANTED poster on Dr. John Britton appeared, he ton was shot and killed. The murders were clearly litTked to the I . .. anti-abortion cause. (James J. Kilpatrick is a co lwmn:H None of the Gunn/Britton posters for Universal.

Down a goal to their archri' val, the Redmen rallie'd for the tying with seven minutes to play before senior Jon Leonard netted the match" winner in the fifth minute of sudden death overtime to give Rio a 2-1 victory. Leonard's goal ·set off a wild celebration at Evan Davis Field, . and more importantly, paved the way for the Redrnen to return to the NAIA National Tournament, beginning Thursday in Bowling Green, Ky. "It was a great game," 'Rio head coach Scott Morrissey said. "I've said all along, every team we play, they always bring their best game.

Tiffin played two oveitime periods before putting away Roberts Wesleyan 3-2 on penalty kicks Friday. . Leonard's goal came off a ~corner from the right side; set play that Morrissey said his club had worked on for the week previous to the region tournament. Rio defender Mark Fahey made a run from the far side of the penalty area to the near post and flicked Jason Harvey's cross tow.ard the back post, where the ball was knocked down into the I?ath of Leonard who slipped 11 past Tiffin goalkeeper Todd Gerbino for the deciding goal.

Long before Gus Frerotte threw his first (and last) pass with his left hand the Cincinnati Bengals were prattling on about an upcoming championship . Playoffs? Championships? It all sounds rather silly two months later. · The "Battle of Ohio" is more akin to a cafeteria food fight as the Browns and Ben ga ls get ready for their " rematch Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. It's messy and fun to watch, but doesn't seem to have much purpose. The Browns (4-5) have thrown away enough games- literaiJy, in Rudd's case - to leave them as a long shot for the plil1ilffs. Rudd provided the signature moment of the Browns' season by flinging his· helmet and drawing a penalty that allowed Kansas City to win the opener. President Cannen Policy decided before training camp that anything less than a playoff appearance would be a disappointment. Disappointment is already at. the doorstep. "These next few .games are crucial for us," qullrlerback Tim Couch said. "We're right m the thick .of things now. We've lost some heartbreaking games right at the end on the last play. We've got to put that behind us and try to win the rest of our games." Even if the Bengals (1-8) win the rest of their games, they ' II end up without a winning record fat the 12th straight season. So much for their playoff ruminations. . Their defining moment came Sept. 15 in Cleveland, when Frerotte tried to throw the ball away with his left hand to avoid a sack and instead threw an interception that set up the Browns' 20-7 win. Jon Kitna is the quarterback now, but things haven't gotten much better. The offense is scoring more points, but the defeats continue to mount. A loss to the Browns might convince owner Mike Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jon Kltna breaks into a yawn during prac'tlce, Thursday in Cincinnati. Cincinnati hosts the Cleveland Browns Sunday. (AP) Brown to start his annual late-season quarterback tryouts for next year. "It seems to be the nature of the business and the nature of how things go around here that when you're out of the playoff picture, they start to look at other avenues," Kitna said. Thousands of Cleveland fans will make the four-hour drive Sunday, giving the Bengals a rare sellout. The Bengals ·have drawn fewer than 60,000 for half of the 20 games at their new stadium. What will they be waiting to see? Mainly·, whether the Browns can actually run the ball. Since it returned as an expansion team . in 1999, the franchise that honors Jim Brown has yet to produce much of anything on the ground. The Browns have the NFL' s worst running game (72 yards on average) and are missing top runner Jamel White, out with a separated shoulder. The onus is on rookie William Green, who has avera~ed only 2.3 yards per carry, but will be gomg against a defensive line missing run stopper Oliver Gibson. A teani that can't run the ball might as well just forget about the playoffs. "You've got to go out there with an option to run," White said. "You can'tjust go out there trying to throw it on every dow!) . They're going to give Will a chance, regardless of how it goes ,downif I'm playing or not." · The Bengals haven't had a steady quarterback since Boomer Esiason, one of 12 to start for them during·their 12-year run as the NFL's worst team. If Kitna struggles on Sunday, they might start looking around again - the worst thing for a team tired of bein~ a laughingstock. . "Stick with one thing and give it a chance," receiver Chad Johnson said . . "We're going to win and when we start winning, nobody is gain~ to have nothing to say. We're going to wm." In Cleveland, cornerback Corey Fuller was talking in the same ~assured tones about the playoffs. · "We're going to make the playoffs," Fuller said. "We've got to wm.

On hi s mo st recent trip to Monroe County, West bagged his first· wild turkey, hunting with Stoney Brook Plantation owner Jim Justice and his closest hunting companion Richard Aide. "We had .a lot of fun," said the 64-year-old West, who added that one of the funniest things to happen occurred one afternoon on a four-wheel-drive trail deep in the mountains. Justice was using his favorite old Jeep Wagoneer when it broke down. The hunters then retrieved a backup ~ehicle .' an old Chevrolet Suburban, which is a rather large ve hicle to use in tight 4x4 situa. tions . "We were trying to locate Richard and Jerry's son David when we came to a dead end on a small logging trail," said Justice, Nes~ who was guiding West. "We had only one option. to back up. Jerry said he· had great instincts about these things and felt that trying to turn that big vehicle around was a bad idea." West turned out io be right. Justi ce made the attempt to turn the SUV around and wedged it firmly between an embankment and an 8-inch maple tree. Aide and David West in the meantime were on another section of the mountain when they heard a number of single, spaced-out shots being fired. Stuck miles from the nearest road, Justice and West decided they would use their shotguns to shoot the maple tree down, allowing their vehicle to he freed. They ·shot every shell they had, but afterward the truck was still stuck. So they resorted to the standard method of taking turns push- · ing and pulling and driving until they unstuck the truck . · "Eventually, they s howed up soaking wet sweating and cracking up, laughing about getting hung up, " said Aide. "It was pretty darned funny. trying to imagine Jerry West pushing that big vehicle with Jimmy driving." "A lot of funny things happened on that trip," added West, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers, from 1960 to 1974. West said basketball led him away from some of the activities he enjoyed While growing up in Kanawha County. Today, he partieipates in more of those activities aga1n. "I love to do stuff like the hunting trips, but haven't had the chance for a number of years, mostly because of overlapping seasons and living for so many years in California," he said. West doesn't claim to be a big hunter. In fact, he's never hunted deer. "I much prefer bird hunting," he said. "And now, because West Virginia is so close J./8he lives in Memphis, Tenn. 3/8, I'll have time to do some of the things 1 enjoyed when I was a kid."

"I tell. people I'm in the insect recycling business," Lamp said. "We joke about it, because here I am pulling insects out of these nests in a careful and meticulous fashion, but when you think about the people who need that vaccine, this is a pretty se rious business, too. The same venom that they fear so much can actually be used to protect them." Lamp uses carbon dioxide gas to sedate the insects in the nest , then quickly removes it . The cornmon ye llow jacket wasps usuall y nest in the ground, while other wasps and bees build the papery-like nests often seen in old barns, or hanging from tree Iimbs. Lamp, who runs his pest control business in the Toledo area, said. the . collection of the nests is the easy part. The cleaning a nd processing of the bees or wasps before they are shipped out takes much more time. The insects have to remain froze n at all 'times, si nee the venom is one of the first proteins to break down if they thaw out. , They are packed in dry ice after Lamp sorts them. He keeps only the females, since the males have no venom , and sends the whole insects to the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the vaccines. Technicians there will pull the individual stingers out, and then remove the venom sack that is attached to the stinger and holds the tiny droplet of poison. The ·venom sacks are chopped, a buffer solution is added to keep the venom from breaking down, and the mixture is then run through a centrifuge and this provides the . bulk of the vacci ne. · "I get orders from them each year to collect certain species," Lamp said. "This year the yellow jackets were in short supp ly so I concentrated on finding those nests and collecting as many as I could. Other times l collect bald-faced hornets and other species of paper wasps." Lamp said the hard frost of a couple of weeks ago ended his -nest >coll~cting for this year. He will handle 150-200 nests a year in the bee and wasp collection phase of his business, and those nests hold an average of between 1,500 to 5,000 insects. · Lamp said the nest collecting is usually done at ni ght. That way, if something goes wrong he can just turn off the light and a llow the insects to senle down. He said he uses little of the bulky gear most bee keepers are pictured wearing, because it makes it almost impossible to perform the delicate job. "It's amazing · the protective equipment that a lot of us who have been doing this a long time don't wear," he said. "Knowledge is king, so if you are experienced and know what you ' re doing, then this is not a real dangerous thing . We've gotten to the poitlt where we'd rather take a couple of extra stings than sweat to death." . Lamp, an Ohio State University graduate, has been bee-keeping for more than 30 years, and colleciing nests for· their life-saving venom for aboup20 years . . "It strikes me as a pretcy nice· thing that as the insects in these nests near the end of their life cycle in the fall, we can actually harvest their venom and use it for va~- . cines that will help prevent next year's generation ~f · bees and wasps from real~ · hurting or killing someone.

Thanks to advances in digital technology, studios now have the opportunity to give fans exactly what they want on DVD. In the case of Glengarry Olen Ross, this Tuesday Artisan Home Entertainment rolls Out a Stellar two·disc lOth Anniversary Special Edition DVD, packed with enlighten:ing extras, which take an :already great film to new heights. ; Released in 1993 and stardng an ensemble that would leave any casting director .weak in the knees, Glengarry ·Glen Ross is a film echoing, in :some respect, a 'sales subcon:scious', if you will, that is rem'iniscent of Arthur Miller's renowned Death of a Salesman. Originally written for the stage by David Mamet, and having toiled the flollywood script slush pile for years before hitting the big .screen, Glengarry Glen Ross .goes straight to the core of sim·pte life where rich stories reside far from public view inside the small time sales office.

I like to think I have a good head on my shoulders and a pleasant personality. A year ago, I met a wonderful man, "Adam." He is younger than I am, but we are compatible and our relationship has deepened. I recently asked him to live with me and offered financial assistance so he could pursue his medical education full-time. My family is in an uproar! They already disapproved of the fact that Adam is younger than I am. Now they are barely civil to him. He has stopped · attending family functions with me. Even when he's not around, they badger me to . ·realize that he's "using me." I fmally confronted my sister and insisted she tell me why the family thinks there is no chance that this man loves me. After some hesitation, the truth· came out: They think he's too goodloo\ting for a "plain girl" like me. I was devastated. I have always known that I'm no beauty. but I was convinced Adam saw beyond that and appreciated my other qualities. I WAS convinced, that is until now. Abby, what's your take on this?- HURT AND CONFUSED IN THE LONE STAR STATE DEAR HURT AND CON· FUSED: Please do not allow your overprotective family to devastate your self-esteem. If Adam has given you no reason to doubt him, only time will tell what the future holds for the two of you. You deserve to be happy and to be respected. Allow no one to destroy that. DEAR ABBY: I am the father of a 7-year-old son, :Taylor." His mother, "Gwen," and I had a long-term relationship, but when she became pregnant, neither of us wanted to marry. In our hearts we knew it wouldn't work and we didn't want to subjeCt our son to a broken marriage. Both Gwen and l have taken our roles as parents seriously. Since his birth, I have supported Taylor financially. Taylor has spent nearly every weekend at my home or my par. ents' since he was 3. I also spend time with my son during the week -- going to the park, to the movies, etc. I recently became engaged to a woman I'll call Stacey. We want ·to be married next year and are plarming a large wedding. I had hoped to have Taylor serve as our ring bearer. Stacey's niece will be our flower girl. At first, my son's mother was agreeable to the idea, but now she's against it. Gwen refuses to give me a concrete reason, other than she "doesn't think it's a good idea." She said our son can attend the wedding accompanied by his baby sitter but cannot be a member of the wedding party. I am angry about this. Stacey says I should calm down and accept the situation. I'm loo]cing to you, Abby. What do you think?- TAY· LOR'S FATHER IN NEW YORK DEAR TAYLOR'S FATHER: Listen · to your fiancee. She's a wise woman. There is nothing to be gained by starting World War III. It appears that your son's molher resents the fact you are committing your life to another woman. Refusinjl to allow your young son to be m the wedding is her only way of asserting some control in a situation she cannnot otherwise control. Although Taylor cannot be · your ring bearer, make sure he wears a boutonniere and is present in some of the wedding pictures.

Jan began collecting mice in 1963, so there are quite a few displayed during the holidays, including a tree with nothing but Hallmark mice.

For the living room, maybe a light mossy green or a muted sage color. (That sourid you hear is my boyfriend's gag reflex hard at work.) Unfortunately, the kitchen and living room share a common wall, which means I would have to come up with a way to bring the two colors together without looking ridiCulous. .

"If you're like me, you often find yourself attracted to totally different styles," she says. That's perfectly . OK. Picking out what's right for you - not what others say is "right" - can become one of the toughest hurdles. Design is not absolute, she insists. "We need to own up to who we are and what we like and then have the courage to live the way we want. Now that's design." Jennings says too many homeowners get caught up in what others think. Taste .is per" sonal, and there are no mys" teries or hidden agendas for living with space the way you love it. She encourages families to take a good, hard look at their space. If time· is spent mostly with children, then it doesn't make sense to put the oftenused family room in the basement with no view or natural light. If you have a formalliv' ing room that you save for guests and you don't lind time to have many, then perhaps that room should become the family · room. If your family would enjoy putting a pool table into that room, do it. The room will become a true ''living room." • In like manner, porches don't have to be for sitting only. If an old-fashioned sleeping porch would make you happy, there's no rule saying you can't turn your screened porch into one. "Homes should better conform to our needs. The American house plan hasn't kept up with our varying lifestyles," she points out. The same thing is true with · color..For example 11ittle girls' rooms don't have to be pink. Kitchens don't have to be yellow, a throwback to the 1940s. The decorating guru understands ftrsthand. With a blended family of five children and two parents, she · soon found out that it was imperative to go with the flow in terms of recognizing different styles and tastes. .• 1 "If you leave it the way it , is, I won ' t have to help you paint it.

Strong results were ·reported this week for pop art and abstract . expressionists; including auction records for 12 artists. Last week, highend bids for impressionists and modems were generally cautious and selective at the annual Manhattan sales. Works auctioned tl)is week ran the gamut of contemporary styles, from Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein of pop art fame to Willem de Kooning, Afshile Gorky and .Franz Kline of the abstraet expressionists to other experimentalists such as Jeff Koons, . Ci ndy Sherman and Robert Rauschenberg. While French impressionists and great modernists from the late 19th and early 20th centuries remain a benchmark for gauging the current market, hi~h-caliber contemporary art ts closing the price gap, as shown by this week's hvely sales, mar· keting experts 'lit Sotheby's and Christie's said. . Brett Gorvy, international co-head of Christie's postwar . and contemP.orary art department, attnbuted an increasing c·onvergence of prices over the last two years to various factors, primarily collectors broademng their holdings. "Collectors accustomed to paying $4 million for a Picasso are now willing to spend $4.5 million for an outstanding work in the contemporary field - say for a Warhol or a Lichtenstein," he said. At the same time, holders of prized works are willing to sell "if the price is right." . Sotheby 's, the top-ranked auction . house, registered $78.3 million at its opening sales for contemporary works, the firm's highest total in the field since 1989. It added $16.1 million in sales Wednesday for a twoday total of $94.3 million. Sotheby' s contemporary sales set auction records for six artists. including $5.6 million for a Cy Twombly untitled and $3 million for Wayne Thiebaud's uFreew3.ys." The top lot · was de Kooning's "Orestes," a 1947 black-and-white abstraction sold to an unidentified bidder for $13.2 ntillion. It was from a highly publicized collection of 21 works put on the market by San Francisco banker Thomas Weisel. Thirteen lots were sold for $33.5 million, and eight did not sell, showing · that would·be buyers weren't in the mood for unbridled bidding. Christie's, the N~t:· 2 auction house, sold $84.1 mil· lion worth of contemporary and postwar art in its auc- clovers, and vetches - are the second category of plants commonly used as cover crops. While legumes' roots are not as dense as those of grasses, legumes are valuable for feeding the soil. Bacteria in legume roots take nitrogen gas from the air and convert it into a fonn usable by subsequent plants. (Actually, all cover crops, even grasses, · indirectly "feed'.' the soil. They latch onto nutrients that ntight otherwise wash through the soil and enrich the soil with humus, which makes nutrients more available.) • As with the grasses, there are legumes that live through . cold winters and those that do not. Some common] y grown, winter-hardy legumes include hairy vetch and white sweet · clover. Legumes that thrive in cool weather but die in cold winters include woolly-pod vetch, crimson clover, and field pea~. The third category of plants that function as cover crops - often inadvertently - is weeds. Many offer the same . benefits as do legumes and grasses because many, weeds are legumes or grasses. Alas, if on Iy weeds were not excessively exuberant in clothing the soil. Rather than allowing a weedy cover crop, a better idea is to deliberately sow a more easily controlled cover crop.

If a sow's ear could be turned into a silk pmsc. he . was the tnan for the conversia n. Armed with a bottle of wood glue, screws and furniture clamps .. he would magic:1II y translorm a stack o f s~rap wood into a chair, bookcase or other p1ccc of lurm turc . Dad used as much "fastening... horsepower'' as possible SCI that his finished products would withstand the use and abuse that they would be subjeered to by the Carey kids. . When he was joining two pieces of wood. his bottle of wood glue was always nearby. He would slather just Cl10ugh so that only minimal e?tcess glue would ooze fro til tliejoint. We were always curious how he knew J·ust how much enm1gh was. .: Glue application was only a , f · · J f1~rt o f dacI s astcmng ntua . Where glue was applied, s~ rcws weren ' t far behindtind vice versa. Once dad had all of his parts ready for assembi)'. l1e would drill pilot holes fnr the installatiqn of 1yoml screws. Often. the head of the screw would be recessrcl and concealed with a s~nrt piece of wood dowel that .was ,;mtlcd !lush with the surface of the wood. Once he fln ishcJ. one was hard lll.·c;scd Ill determine how the piece had been assembled. :We concur that screws arc fabulous fasteners. They ;1re, ~owcver. · not without fault. When a screw head becomes dama"ed or rounded off, it iS virlm~ly impossible to fully institll it or to remove it for replacement. . For years removi ng a damaged screw had ranked with the best of challenges. But [oday, removing screws with damaoed heads is easily accompfished thank s J9 a nifty tool appropnately called a "damaged-screw remover." As is a drill bit. this tool is inserted .into the chuck of 11 variable-speed drill. The specially deslgned •tip of the tool plows into the head of the damaged sc rew and, with steady pressure, turns the screw out with the power Of the variable-speed drill. The key to easily removi ng . the sc rew is firm ste ady pn:ssure and powering the drill to the lowest possible speed in reverse. This prevents the tool from slipping on the screw head. If you thought removing a screw with a damaged or rounded he ad was a chalJenge. consider removing a screw where the head is brtlken off. Impossible , you say? Hardly. thanks to another nifty, not-so-high-tech tool of the trade - ·th e "screw extractor." In contrast to the damagedscrew remover, the screw extractor is specifically de, signed to remove a screw with a broken head. The tool co nsists of a small metal tube with teeth cut into one end. · serte d mto · The extra.ctor ·ts m, a drill and placed over the center of the screw shaft. The teeth bore into the WOOd immediately around the circumference of the shaft. When removed, the extractor takes a ·core . that contains the shaft and a small core of wood surrounding it. The core then is plugged, using carpenter's glue and a wood dowel. Once dry, a pilot hole can be drilled in the dowel and. ahnew screw I can be inserted tnt e same ocation. Finding a damaged-screw remover and screw extractor can be a bit of a challenge. Start with the ~ool section of · your local hardware store. If · you have no luck there, try a . tool specialty store that sells to the trade. Online tool outlets are another possibility for such tools.

If you answered "me," you are right. But there is also another answer, and that is "cover crop," which is a plant grown primarily and tempomrily for soil improvement. A cpver crop keeps out .weeds by smothering them before they gain a foothold. Some cover crops even exude substances that prevent weed growth. Cover crops need to be sown now if they are going to have enough time to do their job before cold weather arrests growth. Three categories of plants are communi y used as cover crops. The first category consists of grasses such as .rye grain, oats, and wheat. Rye and wheat grow late into autumn, go dormant for ·the winter, then begin growing again in early spring until they ripen their seedheads in summer. Oats also grow late into autumn, but then die where winters are cold, so do not need to be turned under to clear the way for spring plantings of vegetables and flowers. · These grasses also "till" the soil with their extensive roots. A cubic foot of soil beneath a grass will have many miles of roots plowing through it, crumbling it and opening up chtmnels for water tmd air.
