The communities of the tri· county area are ·under siege, with police reports of crack cocaine and methampheta· mine arrests surfacing with regularity. Heroin also is a relatively new player in the market, as well. And with the big city drugs come a host of problems, such as rising crime rates and increased violence. "Heroin. I hate to see that, but it's here," says Damon . Morgan, Mason County prosecuting <\ltorney. "There's quite a bit of crack - has been for a few . years- and that's something I haven't seen before. II used to be marijuana, some speed. Now, ,you ' re seeing a lot pflls, Oxycontin, more cocaine, meth, a lillie heroin." · Sgt.

Starcher say s that Oxycontin use has increased dramatically. "Oxycontin is the big thing. That's what they're wanting now. Methamphetamine, you hear about a few meth labs here and there, some crack, coke, not a whole lot. Marijuana is still the big dru ." T~e biggest problem in the local war on drugs is lack of manpower, according to Starcher. "That's what hurts us in this area. We barely keep our heads above water handling everyday activities. We do get drugs every week though, · but its mostly marijuana." Starcher believes the high unemployment rate in the area contributes to the prob· lem. Another is that Meigs County is notoriously known for home-grown mariju.ana that is produced each growmg season. " In Meigs and Vinton counties, you have many farms, good soil and some of the highest unemployment rates in Ohio. And Mason in West Virginia ranks right up there," Starcher says Secluded areas and good growing conditions make southeast Ohio an ideal place . to grow marijuana, according to the U.S . Justice Department. Meigs' biggest cash crop? "It's highly plausible that marijuana is Meigs County's bigge st cash crop," says Richard Vedder, a retired economics professor at Ohio University. · · "B>: the very · fact that the (manjuana) trade is illegal, nobody knows its exact size."

Crack, a highly addictive drug derived from the residue of cooked cocaine, came to Gallipolis a few years . ago. Throw in the newcomer . Oxycontin and you have two high! y potent narcotics that, when abused, bring in a whole new batch of big-city type problems. · "We braced for it," said Roger ·Brandeberry, chief of the Gallipolis Police Department. "We knew it (crack) was coming btl! were surprised ittook so long get- . ling here. I think our two <:~re biggest concerns Oxycontin and crack. "In . the last year, it (O"ycontin) snuck up on us. 'What is it?' ·we asked. Now, we've got a good understanding. Localfy, regionally, nationally, we're all dealing with that problem." Oxycontin is one of several opium derivatives available by prescription. It is a highpotency painklller that comes m time release tablets that last for 12 hours. · When used as prescribed, it helps cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers manage their pain. O"ycontin abusers crush up and · snort the tablets or chew them. When crushed up or chewed, the pill's time ·release mechanism no longer works, hence the user gets a quicker "high." The drug is· uspally mi"ed with a combination ·of other drugs, such as alcohol, and the results can be devastating. Gelling the full effect of the tablet all at once is like shoot· ing high-grade heroin but it is more addictive and more dangerous. Oxycontin suppresses the ,respiratory system and when combined with alcohol or other depressants, it is often deadly. Often, the user goes to sleep and respiration slowly decreases until breathing stops completely. Brandeberry, who has been at the helm of the Gallipolis department since. 1993, says local police have locked up individuals from Detroit, Columbu s, Dayton and everywhere in between on different crack-related charges . When the crack problem surfaced in the late 1980s on the East and West coasts, he . knew it was only a mauer of time before the drug found its way to the streets of .Gallipolis. "It's ruining lives," Brandeberry said. Crack al so comes with another major problem: . Violence.

(AP) - The Education Alliance and Gov. Bob Wise are planning to launch public relations campaigns to convince students and parents that a high school diploma alone is. not enough to get a good job. "We. need to be driving a constant message on the · importance of education," Wise said. The administration hasn't developed a strategy on how to pursue the . campaign, but it has talked with the state Department of Education. "The important thing is it be a coordinated message and it be a consistent and long-running one," Wise said. "There are different strategies. Every group can make an effort." Finding the money for a statewide campaign may prove difficult. The state is facing a $200 million budget deficit next fiscal year and the administration is already talking about cutbacks this year. "This a'll takes funding," said Kay Goodwin, secretary of the Department of Education and the Arts. "We need to identify what we would like to do, put a price tag on it and go for it." The administration might be able ·to partner with the Education Alliance, a nonprofit group that promotes business involvement in education. The alliance plans a campaign promoting the economic benefits of a good education. But alliance President Hazel Palmer says her group is thinking more about free public service announcements . than paid advertismg. . Until The Associated Press asked about it, state officials were unaware of the · alliance's efforts and had not talked with the organization. The alliance's campaign will focus on several facts it wants West Virginians to know about education. The facts include: •Someont with a bachelor's degree earns nearly;$! million more over his or her lifetime than a high school graduate. •Wages rise by 7 perce.nt to 9 percent for each additional year of education beyond high school. •In 1965, if . someone invested $1 in the stock market or other traditional investments or $1 in education, the moriey invested in education provided the best rate of return in every ·case except · for stocks, and stocks were a lot riskier. t.::~.rc:f-IN. ~~~ Harold & Dave of MONTGOMERY'S BARBERSHOP welcome· Erick Johnson , . a qraduate of Charleston School ofEIIirller.

U.S . District Judge Edmund Sargus said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acted within , its authority to issue the pennit to build the pipeline. An environmerital advoca.cy group, Stop the Ohio Pipeline, tried 10 stop the project becau se the corps had acted without issuing an environmental impact ·statement. • The corps conducted an abbreviated environmental assessment of the project, which -.vas adequate to issue the permit, Sargus ruled. "The ultimate discretion as to the sanctioning of the project rests with the agency," Sargus wrote in his ruling. "Were this court authorized to determine on its own whether an environmental impact statement should be i>sued, the result would be different.

Thankfulness is important. I have a friend who is a psy· chologist and counselor. She says that thankfulness is the number one ingredient of mental health and happiness ..! agree with her, and I add another ingredient, discipline. Without discipline you have no control of your life. Discipline enables.you to be a responsibie'>Ond happy person. Both of the above are essential o being a givin~ person. All giving is an act of thanksgiving, and without di scipline you do not have enough control of your resources to give. As you come to that national day of thanksgiving, I encourage you to have a spirit and attitude of thanksgiving, and to increase your sense of well-being by. being ·a giving person. In your giving, be very mindful of Gallia County United Way. There are 12 agencies supported, and it is hard to imag' ine that you can live very long in our community without being affected and helped by one or more of these agencies. They contribute greatly to our quality of life, from Red Cross to Outreach to the county program. What does our theme mean') The American Way: As a result of missionary trips and a military career, I have been all over the world and lived with many different people. Ameri<Oa is.not perfect, but I will assure you that we are the most giving and forgiving people in the world. ' · We make a difference, it is not just our financial support, but it is our attitude of being loved and giving people, of doing whatever it is to help those in need. That's the American War The Gallia County Way: On a day-to-day basis, we in Galha County do not work well together; but just let there be a disaster or a need, and you can't find better people. Most recent· ly, we have had the Raccoon Creek flood, the downtown tire ·and the tornado. We have come together as a community to work hard to help all of those in need as a result of these disasters . Hopefully, we can work together so that we can solve major issues in our community and move forward ; and at the same time~ recogniz,e the unity in our community. Unity is t~e Gallta County Way. · During this year of working with United Way, I will repeat this fact numerous times. You do not have to be rich or wealthy to be generous. Generosity and giving come from the heart. I have never known of anyone who has gone broke.giv· ing, it always returns to bless you in one way or another. Lots of people have gone broke being greedy and trying to make more money. I hope you all have a v.ery blessed Thanksgiving, and one way to show your thankfulness is by giving to United Way.

But I am raising the question. There was yet another sledgehammer judgment against cigarette ·manufacturers last month. A Los Angeles jury found that cigarettes caused the plaintiff's terminal cancer and awarded $28 billion in compensatory damages. This comes on the heels of,dozens of similar suits. Juries around the country have been reaching the same conclusion: When used simply as the manu· facturers intend, cigarettes art; addictive and lethal , killing approximately 400,000 people a year. ' No other legal product, ' including alcohol, can be similarly described. · Alcohol must be abused to be lethal, whether from liver or heart disease after many years of excessive drinking, or from driving a car while drunk. The harm caused by cigarettes is considered so clear-cut - "smoking causes serious · diseases," states R.J . Reynolds' own Web site - that the attorneys general in almost every state sued the tobacco ind.ustry two years ago. They wanted to recover their states' Medicaid costs of caring for uni nsured smokers suffering from ciga· rett e-related illnesses. 1 The cigarette-makers; in response to the suits, struck an agreement to pay $243 billion to 46 states over the next 25 years. Of course, the only way for tobacco companies to pay the Medicaid bills for the people already harmed by cigarettes is to sell more cigarettes, thereby g.uarantee!ng a steady fl?w of new MedJC?td patients m perpetmty. "This is the irony of the whole thing," says San Francisco attorney Madelyn Chaber, who four years ago filed , and won, the first suit against the tobacco industry in California. Most product liability cases do not follow this pattern. Generally, when a product is found to be harmful, indeed deadly, the goal is to remove it from the market so it cannot cause more harm. Consider, for example, the Firestone case two years ago. The National Highway Safety and Traffi c Board· began investigating 46 deaths from accidents that appeared to be the result of treads separating on Firestone tires. Firestone ended' up paying out millions in lawsuits. More important, it took the 6.5 million .tires Off the market. If Firestone followed the tobacco co!Jlj\li'nies' lead, it would have continued no.t only to s~ ll the tires, but to vigorou sly advertise them (along with a fine-print govern· ment warning), and then create a fund for1he deaths they would cause. The reason cigarettes stay on the market, the tobacco· compani es argue, is consumer deriJand. People want .ci garettes and they are only hurting themselves, the argument goes, especially in California where second-hand smoke has been v~~ally eliminated by a ban on smoking in public places. · Heavens knows we don't need the .. government to.be any more paternali~: tic. But by the tobacco industry's logic, we'd make legal ·heroin, crack and all other individually harmful drugs. Ci garettes continue to be sold bec ause tobacco companies have enough money to be powerful inthiences on our legislators. They continue to be sold because the tobacco compa~ nies have enough money to counter the death-and-disease statistics with cool, glamorous, fun images that .attract peqple in their teens and 20s. Then the addictive ingredients in the product cfo the rest, creating a new generation (if customers who will provide the mucJ\: repeated, aforementio t . ~ d "consumer demand." . ·A ban on cigarettes would lead It> black markets and smuggling and crim ~ inalization of people whose only crim~ was to get addicted to a once-legal product.

Steve Jones; a 20-year veteran of the West Virginia State Police who helps spearhead the eradication program. "With the terrain and remote areas, it's conducive to outdoor growing. Last year, Mason County ranked eighth in the state in the number of plants eradicated with I ,489 destroyed from 70 different plots. "Wayne, Boone, Logan, Mingo are the biggest producers in this state," Jones says. "Unfortunately, Mason County falls right in there." Jones went on to say that marijuana plants have been found in all of West · Virginia's 55 counties. "It was the hot topic years ago," Gallipolis Chief of Police Roger Brandeberry says about marijuana. "Traditionally, everyone talked about Meigs County marijuana, and it's certainly grown here, not just here, but in the whole region. · "Not to play down marijuana, it used to be the biggest concern. Other drugs are certainly more dangerous, such as crack and Oxycontln, and you have to put more resources into the bigger problem." The movement of marijuana production into indoor facilities is another quandary when it comes to eradication efforts. The growing season •unbar G:U.U. ·•mttnd • Page AS indoors is year-round, and it's easier to conceal from the prying eyes of heli· copters in the sky, the method. used to detect plants during the outdoor growing season.

It's quite possible the No. I cash crop· grown in Meigs County is marijuana. The pot produced in the fertile soil of Meigs is known far and wide among marijuana users.

"It doesn't surprise me at all," said a man claimin~ to be a Meigs County mariJuana grower who understand- ably would not reveal his identity. "It gets shipped all over . the place. The pot grown here is some of the best you ' . can get," he said. The self-proclaimed grow· er doesn't fit the everyday stereotype of a drug dealer.

"We deliver to anyone who needs it," Hunter said. "We know that they don't have time to go out and get a good, hot meal, so we just take them one. "We want to make sure that anyone who may not have a family to cook for them or can't prepare one for themselves, has a good Thanksgiving dinner," he added. This tradition began 18 years ago when church member Gilbert "Gibbey" Craig Sr., now deceased, came up with the idea. "Now that he has passed on, we want to try to keep this going," he said. What keeps the meals going, Hunter explained, is the generosity of local indi· victuals and organizations such as the Gallia County Deputy Sheriff's Association, which made ,a recent donation to help fund the di~ner. "The dinner is free to anyone who wants it," Hunter said. "But, dona· tions are always welCome to help offset the cost."

He threw one pass out of the end zone with seven seconds left, and then Allen stepped in front of Navarre's final attempt, tr.iggering a wild celebration. Allen made a similar pick on the -final play to preserve Ohio State's win at Cmcinnati on Sept. 21. "l-Ie's our miracle man," said defensive coordinator Mark Dantonio.

But Ohio State's next opponent mattered little. "If it's Miami, Washington State or Iowa, we don't care," said Peterson. "We ' ll play them. We' ll play Buckeye style football. It's time to dance." Michigan's Adam Finley kicked three field goals in a first half dominated by the Wolverines, who didn ' t even have to punt. . Michigan clClsed the half with a 19-play drive that ate up 8:24 and ended with Fmley's third field goal,, a 22yarder, that put · the Wolverines up 9-7. Only a pass interference call against Edwards, who pushed Chris Gamble to the ground in the end zone, prevented Michigan from having a bigger lead. "It's a heartbreaking loss," said Michigan coach Lloyd Carr. "We knew at the half we would rieed a touchdown to win. That's what's really disappointing." !' Clarett sat out two of Ohio State's previous three games hoping his shoulder would heal in time for Michigan. He didn' t play on the Buckeyes' first series before making his entrance with eight minutes left in the first quarter. On his first play, he ran 9 yards with a screen pass, and then followed a 7-yard pickup by ripping off a 28-yard run. However, Clarett took a blow on his shoulder on his next carry and went to the . sideline in pain clutching his left arm. He came back and scored on a sweep to put Ohio State ahead 7-3. "I wasn't worried about the injury," said Clarett. " I just wanted the win."

The expansion Cleve land Browns, coming off a 34-3 drubbing by the Rams, were a dismal 0-7 back in 1999 and looked as if they would soon be 0-8. The Ne w Orleans Saints weren ' t much better at 1-5, but had 1615 lead and time was running oul. Then , as the seconds ticked away, Cleveland 's Tim Couch threw a 56-yard pass into the end zone that a couple of Saints players batted around before Kevin John son latched onto it to give the Browns a 21-16 victory. "'It was our first win ever since we came back as a franchise ," Couch said . "The fashion that the garne ended, :With a Hail Mary pass. is something that I will . remember as long as I'm playing. " The victory was sweet for the Browns, giving them hope their struggles would pay off. For the Saints, who would finish 3- 13. it was another dismal loss in a tumultuous time . Coach Mike · Ditka fell face-first to the Superdome carpet after the play and lay there, unable to watch the Cleveland celebraiion. "I think . that was my favorite pan of it all," Couch said. "You knew you got them when you saw Coach Ditka laying there on the a turf. " Only five starters remain with the Browns from that 1999 team . Only three of the Saints' starters are still with New Orleans, and both teams have put that bleak season behind them. Under second-year coach Butch Davis the Browns (5-5) are a halfgame behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North. Cleveland is coming off a 27-20 victory over Cincinnati, and with six week s remaining, has a realistic shot at making the postseason · "We figure we've got as good a chance as anybody else," said Cleveland tight end Mark Campbell. "What we ' re trying to do is build something here and jlel a push toward the playoffs. whtch we haven ' t had in the last three years." That 's the same push New Orleans (7-3) is looking for. The Saints fell out of a tie for first place after their second loss to Atlanta. New Orleans now trails Tampa Bay. by a game and is only a half-game ahead of the Falcons in the NFC South. ' "These next three games are usually when teams leap and have themselves prepared to go to the playoffs or they fall out of it," said Saints coach Jim Haslett. "These next few weeks are critical to all teams." Haslett breaks the season down into four-week stretches. He is looking for the Saints to put ~ crew chief kept Stewart in right direction together a winning streak down the stretch to catapult them into the playoffs. "I told the players that we have a . lot of football to play in a short , period of time," Haslett said. "We don ' t have a lot of days left to get these six games in. We have about 40 days to play six games. In these 40 day s, and hopefully longer, we need to focus and execute and do the things it takes to win games." After Cleveland opened 2-4, Davi s decided to focus on the upcoming 10-game stretch. The Browns are now one of six AFC teams at 5-5, and among II with five or six wins, putting them in · the thick of things. . . "We're right where we want to be," Johnson said. "We're a part of the mix. It's the NFL; anything can happen in this league." Johnson should know. He still has a group of photos on his wall at home showing how ht ended up with that pass from Couch in 1999 that sent the Browns home win· ners and Ditka to the ground.

Couch is a native of northern Kentucky. (AP) . . BY ALAN ROBINSON Associated Press # PITTSBURGH ,_ The Pittsburgh Steelers are missing a lot more than Tommy Maddox. As they go into Sunday's game against Cincinnati . with only J half-game lead. in an AFC North mce they figured to have wrapped up by now, the contrasts between this 5-4-1 team and their 13-3 club of a year ago couldn't be more glartng. . The NFL's No. I defense of a year .ago has tumbled to 19th, unable to get off the field on third down or keep teams out of the end zone, Already, five opponents have scored at least 30 points - as many as in the past three seasons combined. "It's like, 'Oh my God, .the Steelers can't stop this, they ean't do that,' " defensive coordinator · Tim Lewis said. "Everybody 's talking about what we can't do." · Like nm the ball , perhaps? The running game that was the NFL's best last season has ground to a halt, with the frequently injured Jerome Bettis on pace for the worst season of his career. The offense that avemged 173 yards rushing last season managed 45 yards in last week's 31-23 loss at Tennessee. · The kicking game is in such shambles - Todd Peterson is out after missing a league-high nine field-goal attempts - that the Steelers will go with a rookie kicker, Word of warning: Jeff Reed will be kicking in his ftrSt NFL game in a stadium, Heinz Field, that already has devoured two Steelers kickers in two years. Reed is a true farmhand, too, and not just in a rookie sense of the word - he was working part-time on a North Carolina farm before winning a fourway tryout in Pittsburgh last week. No wonder the Steelers might have been waiting at Pittsburgh International Airport with open arms when the trusty Bengals (1-9) arrived. It's the second time this season Cincinnati has conveniently shown . up on their schedule during a crisis time. Six weeks ago, the Steelers were ].3 and threatening to unravel with one more loss before manhandling the Ben gals 34-7, their 15th victory in 21 games against Cincinnati under coach Bill Cowher. That victory started them on a ti ve-game unbeaten streak with Maddox at quarterback, one that didn't end until the troubling loss at Tennessee marked by Maddox's frightening injury. Despite being briefly paralyzed by an apparently insignificant hit, Maddox is fine, but will sit out Sunday as Kordell Stewart makes his first start since Sept 29 against Cleveland. Stewart was upset and unsettled by his benching, but earned his teammates' respect by not speaking out. Now, the Steelers are turning to their 200 I MVP to get them righted at a critical pojntin their season. "Kordell showed a lot of character," wide receiver Hines Ward said. "He sat back and didn't complain. He just went to work every day, encouraged everyone on the sidelines. Now it's his chance, and he's been down this road before. There's no need to panic or anything. He's getting his opportunity and he's going to make the most of it." With Stewart back, the Bengals can only hope this is the week they spring one of those upsets they always seem to pull off as their season is winding down. Last year, they intercepted four of Stewart's· passes and rode Jon Kitna's career-best 411 yards passing to a 26-23 upset in Cincinnati. Of course, the circumstances were much different then, with the Steelers playing out the season atier clinching · their division and home-field . advantage in the playoffs. ·· Kitna has been reasonably effective lately, throwing for 986 yards and nine touchdowns as the Bengals scored at least 20 points in four straight games since the Pittsburgh loss. Corey Dillon ran for 424 yards over the same span. · No matter. The Bengals· usually fi'nd a way. to lose, as evidenced by their league-worst 54-132 record since 1991. "We shouldn't be 1-9," wide receiver Chad · Johnson said. "The outside eye wouid say: 'You' re terrible. You're 1-9.' You can 't fight that. You can't sit there and talk to somebody and tell them we're not thaJ bad. The more .we play togeth• er, those one or two plays we'rJ not making will be made in the future." . · Still, that 's · not enough to make coach Dick LeBeau pad( a swimsuit. . ; He promised to jump into th~ Ohio River if the Bengals bcaf .the Steelers in Cincinnati. That didn 't happen, so he made nti · such suggestion for this game; even though the Ohio forms only a few hundred feet from Heinz Field. , "In the last month and a half; the only game we haven't got~ . ten in is in the Pittsburgh game," LeBeau said.

Sunday, November 24, 2002 . Ohio 's deer gun season is nearly upon us, and hundreds of thousands of hunters will be heading afield in pursuit of America's favorite big game animal, the whitetail deer. That means it is also time for my annual safe ty message. 1 For many of these hunters; the first day of deer gun season will be their first day in the woods since last year, and some of the ir hunting skills may be a little ru sty. Unfortunately, but inevitably, it seems, some of them will also be involved in deer hunting accidents. . . , Every year, the Ohio Division of Wildlife publishes a compiled list of hunting accidents (the division refers to them as "incidents" ) from the previous year, and stati stics show that the majority of hunters involved in these incidents are not, as you may ·suspect, the younger hunters. Rather, they are the older, more experienced hunters. Now while common sense may lead you to believe · that inexperiIN THE OPEN enced hunters are the most dangerous, bear in mind that the youngest of hunters are also the ones most likely to have recently completed a hunter education course - a course that is required before you can purchase your first hunting license. All that good safety information is still on their minds: My personal opinion is that experience, while it is in general ·a good thing, can be like a two, edged sword; an experi. enced hunter knows things about hunting and wildlife, that a novice hunter has yet to learn , and experienced hunters often know what works arid what doesn ' t work in the field. . ·. Unfortunately, an experienced hunter is more likely to have taken a safety shortcut and, when nothing bad happened as a result, repeated the unsafe action until that action becomes habit. I'm talking about things like crossing fences with loaded guns. keeping_ loaded guns in Vehicles and pulling them toward you by the muzzle, and so on so forth, while all the while comforting yourself with the knowledge that "I am an experienced · hunter." When you reach the point in life where you think you know everything about hunting safely, that's the time to pause and reflect on your habits, and change them if necessary. One of the best ways to avoid being the guilty party in a hunting accident is to simply follow the hunting laws, some of which exist solely to protect people, and the basic rules of firearm safety, which also apply to other types of hunting. They are, in no particular order: make sure you control the direction your muzzle (or arrow) is pointing, even if you should stumble and fall ; make sure of your target and what is beyond it: treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun: keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. It is astounding how many hunting incidents also involve violations of hunting laws. · Consider this true scenario: one week ago, Kary Jenkins, 31 , of Circleville was hunting with his 9-year-old son in Hocking County and died after being shot by another · bowhunter, Frederick Darby Huffman, 27 , of Logan. Huffman was charged last week with manslaughter, partly because he took the shot well before the legal hunting ume. In the dark before sunrise, Huffman heard what he thought was a deer moving below his tree, and took a shot, only to dis. cover to his horror that he had shot Jenkins. Although Huffman '" tried to save Jenkins, Jenkins died from a severed femoral artery. Jim Freeman . Perhaps if Huffman had simply obeyed the law, and followed the basic rules of hunting safety, this accident would have never occurred and Jenkins would still be alive. There is a good chance that Huffman will have plenty of time behind bars to reflect on his action, and will relive that moment over and over again in his mind and ask himself countless times, "Why did .I ... ?" As we tell the students in hunter education class, once you fire that bullet or arrow, you can't call it back, and no deer .no matter how big - is .worth your life or the life of another ·person. · Another unfortunate fact of deer gun season is the plethora of wildlife violations, including trespassing and poachmg, that · occur during that busy week. . To better serve its customers, the Ohio Division of Wildlife is expanding the hours of its call center, which fields phone calls for 1-800-WILDLIFE and 1-800-POACHER. During the week of deer gun season, the Turn-In-A-Poacher (TIP) hotline at 1-800-POACHER will be in service from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the last Sunday of the season. The line will also be in service until 9 p.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving and until 7 p.m. on the Saturday and Sunday preceding deer gun season. ' Established in 1982, the TIP program allows Ohioans to call a toll-free number from anywhere in the state to report wildlife violations. Calls can be placed anonymously at 1-800POACHER (800-762-2437). Since poachers have little or no regard for wildlife laws or the safety of others, it is .important to report them. · Callers are encouraged to leave a message during closed hours with as much information about the suspected violation · as can be provided. · Callers may also be eligible to receive a cash award for information. This past April, a total of $3,619 was awarded to 16 callers. Their information helped convict 50 poachers who were fined a total of $23,666 by Ohio courts. ·· Division staff answering the phones at 1-800-WILDLIFE .will be able to give general' information and answer questions about hunting and trapping regulations in addition to provid. ing specific information about deer season . . So hunt safe, hunt legal, and take a youngster hunting to pass along the tradition. · · · Jim Freeman is wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar ts the story of Nobill Prize winner John Forbes Nash. The character as portrayed by Russell Crowe in his . Academy Award performance bears little resemblance to the "real" per-· son. The movie life is the "cleanedup" version. Nash is a mathematical _genius born to middle-class parents in Bluefield, West Virginia. His father was an electrical engineer who worked for what is now American Electric Power. His mother was a teacher who had graduated from wvu. . Nash exhibited his unusual intelligence quite early. He was bright and curious, solitary and introverted. It was clear he "marched to a different drummer" even in childhood. He grew up without making a single close fnend. . In 1945 he went to Carnegie ·Institute of Technology to become a chemical engineer, but his interest Beverly Gettles GUEST COLUMNIST was in mathematics. In 1948 he was accepted at Princeton, which was then to mathematics what Paris once was to painters. Einstein was there, as were several of the nation's top mathematicians and physi\!ists. Along the way to the Noble Prize, John Forbes Nash fathered a child out of wedlock (and tried to get the mother to put him ilp for adoption), married and had a second son, became so disoriented and dangerous that his wife had him committed several times to mental institutions, recovered .enough from his schizophrenia to return to work; and rec'Onciled with his wife This is, perhaps, the most difficult biography I have _ever r.ead. However, it is ultimately a story of triumph, for both Nash and his long-suffering wife. It is worth the struggle; you can skip the long sections on mathematical and economic theories.

That's why the government and consumer .groups are talking turkey about how cooks can serve a safe meal. People buying a bird at the grocery store should check out the "sell by," "Best if used by" or "Use by" dates stamped on the packaging to confirm freshness. Then, double-bag the bird in plastic for its trip home and quickly get it into the refrigerator or freezer. Those steps can reduce the risk of food- borne illness, such as salmonella, from developing on the turkey and rubbing off on other food, hands or kitchen utensils before it is cooked. Infections occur when a person ingests live salmonella bacteria, which survive digestion and cause symptoms such as vomiting!and diarrhea. "If we can reduce the level coming into the kitchen, then we can reduce the risk of contamination," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of food safety for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Thorough cooking destroys sa! monella bacteria and other food-borne illnesses. · Sunday, November 24, 2002 Dad worked hard planning-for your future.

(Millissia Russell) 88 ea Cheese Singles The 'John Doe' mystery: Can drama survive time slot? LOS ANGELES (.AP) While the \ title character of "John Doe" searches for his identity, the new Fox drama is on an even more crucial quest for viewers. Its mission is helped by an intriguing concept, that of a man who washes up on a Seattle area islan<;l lacking any memory of himself or his life but with boundless knowledge and the ability to quickly master a skill. . That sets up clever scenes.in which Doe, who becomes an . amate ur crime-buster while trying to solve his. own mystery, rattles off enough factoids to fill a CNN Headline News screen and is an instant pilot, race car driver or whatever's needed. Another plus for "John Doe" is its handsome star, Dominic Purcell , who manages to make hi s know-it-all chamcter both likable and swagger-free. So what's co~ spiring against the drama" Forl starters, it airs on Friday nightiwhen there are fewer TV viewers in general and fewer young adult viewers - Fox's lifeblood - in particular. It also has the misfortune to follo w the struggling sci-fi series "Firefly," which is showing barely a tlicker of life in the ratings. "Firefly," at 8 f!.m. EST, has averaged 4.9 mtllion viewers per episode. "~ohn Doe," at 9 p.m. EST. has drawn an average 7 million viewers per epi sode. "It would obviously have a much stronger chance if we were on a more-watched· night of television," said Mimi Leder, one of the show's exec- · uti,Yc producers.

Hey guys, the next time you go shopping for that special lady m your life, you may want to skip the flowers, · candy and expensive Jewelry. Chances are, she would rather have a new power drill . That's right. Believe it or not, over the past I0 years, there has been a significant increase in women who are getting down and dirty and doing their own home .improvement and repair projects. According to a recent Home Depot survey, women would rather spend their leisure time working on home improve!llent projects, like painting, thiln shopping in a mall. · · · What!!!! First of all, who are these women? Obviously women who shop at the Home Depot. . Se-;ondly, what is leisure time and where do I get some of it? . · ApparentJy, more women are heading households today than ever before, and according to the National Association of Realtors, single women are the secondlargest group of home-buyers after couples, and the latest Census data reports that more than 57 percent of single women are homeowners. · As part of that statistic, I feel it necessary to explain that just because I own my home does not mean that I automatically choose to do my own home repairs. . Frankly, I don't know the difference between a nail gun and a glue gun, but, according to the aforementioned survey, there are a number of things that every . single gal homeowner needs to know. Here are some helpful hints: • Shut off the power at the source. Know where your circuit breaker box is located and make swe each breaker is labeled. · . • Tum off water lines. It only takes one big leak to understand why it's. impottant to know how to tum off the main water line. • Restart the pilot light.
