The first phase begins at the William S. R1tchie Bridge and ends at County Road 36 (Portland). It is one of three phases of the new highway, designed to connect the bridge with U.S. Route 33. It is also one of five major projects making up a new U.S. 33 corridor. The $52 million, three-phase Ravenswood project will provide 15 miles of new highway from Ravenswood, W.Va., 10 Five Points, near Pomeroy. Ohio Department of Transportation District I0 Deputy Director George M.

Dennis Johnson, SOAR's president, said articles of incorporation have been approved by th~ . Ohio secretary of state. Obtaining the tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service can clear the way for SOAR to begin accepting donations to meet its ·-goals, he added . -11' ... The group's immediate target i\s establishment of a residential treatment facility for recovering substance abuse victims. · "Again, this treatment facility is going to be a. reality. It will happen," said Johnson. Originally formed in response to growing concerns and incidents surrounding abuse of the painkiller OxyContin, SOAR broadened its scope to include all forms of drug or alcohol abuse. Johnson said the group recognized that OxyContin is the drug of choice for abuse now, btit others will take its place in time. The group's treatment committee recommended last summer that an immediate step toward resolving problems is to create the treatment facility, a residence for those abusing drugs or alcohol during their treatment phase until they are . ready to rejoin society. . The residence is based on a similar operation in Sidney, where residents undergo treatment from local services, maintain employment and contribute to the house 's operation. . The Sidney model, founded by former Athens nighlclub owner I van Faske, also makes contributions to the community with service projects. SOAR is now scouting potential sites for the house in the .Gallipoiis area. Johnson could not discuss which sites are being considered. With incorporation in hand, the tax-exempt staIns will be researched by SOAR's treasurer, Todd .Johnson. . T he "'§r~ - ~~-- of . .

Some patients will be frightened and maybe even a liule surpdsed when they hear they have a cataract. Cataracts are normal. They usually occur as a result of the agmg process. Fortunately. cataract removal today is si mple, safe, and effective. Thai 's a stark contrast from the past. before itlJplants were available. At that time, the surgery was much more invasive and surgery was fairly unpredictable. Today, newer technology and tec hniques enable the "clouded" lens, or cataract, to be removed through a very sniall inci sion. An' implant is then usually f~ lded through this hole to replace the eye's natural lens. Most catarac t surgeries today are done on an outpatient basis. Usually, you're in and out the same day. Most people find they arc moving around and see ing betler in a surprisingly short time. See your optometrist for COJ11plete mformation if you' suspect cataracts. Dr. A. Jacl<son Bailes 0.0. 22 4 E.

The Senate added fingerprinting to the criminal background checks on applicants and set at 12 hours the amount of firearms training people would need before getting a permit. The state would have to build a computer database that lists.all permit holders and make ii available to authorities outside Ohio. "We had model legislation in Ohio that other states were going to use - a fantastic bill," said Householder. a Republican from Glenford. "It goes over to the Senate and what we're about to get back . is the most cumbersome. restrictive conceal-carry bill in the country. So we think we've got a problem.'' Senate President Richard Finan, a suburban Cincinnati Republican, did not return a telephone call seeking comment. The medical malpractice bill would cap damage awards for injured patients at $350,000 for most claims and $500.000 for injuries causing permanent disability or damage .

After OSU beat Michigan 14-9 on Nov. 23 to clinch an undefeated season and the opportunity to play for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3, fans stormed the field, tore up chunks of turf and !ried to tear down the goalpost~ at the south .end of the >tadmm. Later, nots broke put in the housing areas just east of campus. .. Now, the trustees said, they ' ve had enough. The t>oard drafted a resolution friday stating the riots "tarnished" the Buckeyes' 13-0 season and that it supports OSU President Karen Holbrook "in dealing firmly with all identified perpetra·tors." • • Current ly, the Ohio State Student Code of Conduct says students causing trouble off-ca mpus can be dis · ciplined. But it does not have any provision for punishing spectators, which the school 's Council on Student Affairs said should be changed. The group drafted a resolution to change the code last week . "We feel like there's a subculture developing here that says thi s is OK," J. Briggs Cormier, president of the Council of Graduate Students. told the board . . Cormier said the code should be changed "so that the students who are passively involved would be subject to it." OSU Undergraduate Student Government president Eddie Pauline agreed. He also said the university should try "to make sure the student · body feels guilty · about it." Before the riots broke out, Ohio State took numerous steps to try and stop riots, including patrolling the neighborhood, talking to students, sending students e-mail, fliers and letters asking them to behave, and planning alternative activities on game day. Nothing worked. · Fans flooded into the streets surrounding campus. lighted more · than 100 fires, torched nine cars, broke windows of homes an.d stores and pelted firefight· ers with rocks and debris. "Whatever events we offer. it seems like nothing can compare with the rush and excitement that these events offer," Pauline said. Eight of I 0 students suspended for their role will remain suspended. Two stu· dents that were arrested for underage drinking were allowed to return to class this week . Nine OSU alumni arrested have had their ticket-buying privileges revoked. With the potential for a celebration to get out of hand should Ohio State win the national championship, the university is taking a hard line. .. c'3S · inc. · I to~( Knee & Hip ~eplacement • I Jan. 2!1, Feb. 28, Mar. 28 ·Call (614).221 -6331 • I ~919 Third Avenue H~~:inglo~, West Virginia 1 Joint 9'nnections O'!!hl_V S)Jpport Program (304) 525· 7388 ..

Upcoming Clinic Dates: ~ CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -Linda Jimoh didn't want to take any cl)ances that her heat would be shut off during the holidays, when her grown children and their families visit her. That's Why on a frigid early December day, she made her way to a social service · agency's office to make sure she can get help with her heating bills this winter. Sfie tried not to worry that there may be less government money available to help pay home heating bills this winter. "They help me every year with my bills," Jimoh said. "I'm not concerned, but I think it might be a problem for people who wait until January or even March" to apply. With one application, a poor person or family can apply to the federally funded, state-administered Home Energy Assistance Program for assistance in paying heat· ing bills and the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program for use when a shutoff has occurred or is imminent. Jimoh, 50, of Cleveland, said heating her two-story house can cost about $350 a month in winter. Some agencies throughout Ohio are reporting more people are asking for help amid concerns from the agencies that there may be less money available.

KilpatriCk is a columnisi for Universal Press Syndicate.) ·· RYAN'S VIEW Roger C. Rymer II BY JOAN RYAN I have women friends who belong to a Marin County country club that, until recently, did not accept women as stand-alone members. Women were admitted only as add-ons to their husbands. The men had, and still have, a restaurant in which women cannot eat. The club refurbished the men's, but not the women's, locker room. Women can play golf only on certain days at certain times. My friends say they tolerate the di scrimination because the course is gorgeous, and so many of their friends belong. They also tolerate it because, frankly, if you live the kind of lifestyle that -can absorb the club's eye-popping membership dues, complaints about marginali zation are not likely to find a sympathetic audience. This is why I am having a tough time working up much of a froth over Augusta National ' s aU-male nwmbership. , · The National Council of Wome ti 's Organizations says discrimination ca nnot be tolerated anywhere. It says by depriving ·· Women membership , Augusta deprives women of the busi ness and social networking that is so cruci al to boosting careers. The private club 's excl usionary policy, while legal , undermines American principl es of equal opportunity and equal access. I agree, but the discussion ought to be . 1- more about class than gender. The . women who are eventually admitted to Augusta will be female versions of the men : incredibly ri'ch, accomplished and well -connected. Rubbing shoulders in the clubhouse grill with the likes of Warren Buffett and Jack Welch will have no measurable impact on their careers. They already will be at the top. So I'm puzzled about who, exactly, we 're supposed to be fighting for. Sandra Day O'Connor and Carly Fiorina'? Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey? If there are any women in America less in need of political ad vocates, it is the wealthy and powerful women who would be considered for membership at Augusta, National. "(The discriminatory policy) re minds women of the glass ceiling and unequal pay and all the reasons women are running second in America," Martha Burk, head of the Ntllional Council of Women's Organizations, has explained.

Bush expects to quickly fill the vacancies created with the resignations Friday of Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and Larry Lindsey, the director of his National Economic Council. {AP) WASHINGTON (AP)-The shake-up of President Bush's economic team may not be enough to wake the economy from its long slumber, but it was necessary for political and economic reasons, analysts suggest. · Bush and his advisers want to make sure he avoids the mistakes of his father. The firSt President Bush lost re-election 'in 1992 .in large. part because of a sour economy and his perceived indifference to it. The resignations of Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and White House economics adviser Lawrence Lindsey clear the way for a different lineup and new ideas for reviving the economy- for example, sending a big stimulus and tax cut prop<)Sal to the new Republican-led Congress in January. O'Neill had suggested such a plan was not .needed. It would not take much to plunge the economy back into recession . Economists agree that a significant drop in consumer spending, which now accounts for two-thirds of all' economic activity, would do it quickly. "Obviously, the economy has eroded, it's gotten worse over the past six months," said Mark Zan(li, chief economist at Economy.com. "We're not in a recession yet, but it's close.". "There's no downsid€" for Bush in changing his economic team and making Saddam apologizes to Kuwaiti ·people··· BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Iraq handed over its longawaited arms declaration to the United Nations · on Saturday, denying it has doomsday weapons, and President Saddam Hussein grudgingly apologized to Kuwait for his 1990 invasion. It was a dramatic double bid by the Baghdad leadership to end a nightmare decade for the nation. "We apologize to you," Saqdam said in a letter to the Kuwaiti people read on prime-time Iraqi television. At the same time, at a U.N. compound on Baghdad's outskirts, a government dele~a- . lion was.delivering a mass1ve collection of documents petailing Iraq's chemical, ))iological and nuclear pro·gtams, meeting a demand and a deadline set by U.N. resolution 1441. The · declaration will · "answer all the questions," said Lt. Gen. Hossam Mohammed Amin, its chief author. If the United States ''has the minimum level of fairness and braveness," it will accept it as the truth, he said. Its · thousands of pages, to be flown Sunday . to U.N. · headquarters ~n New York and the U.N. nuclear agency in Vienna, will be combed through for months to come by U.N. analysts, intelligence agencies and diplomats, as Middle East peace hangs in the balance. The dramatic events of a Saturday evening in Baghdad were a watershed moment in a chain of war and sanctions set off by the Iraqi army's invasion and seven-month occupation of Kuwait, which ended only when a huge, U.S.-led force drove it out in February 1991. If Iraq is eventually found to have cooperated fully with the U.N. effort to deny it chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, the U.N. Security Council would consider lifting the crippling economic sanctions Iraqis have lived under for 12 years. But new team s of U.N. arms inspectors are now crisscrossing Iraq in search of signs of weapons of mass destruction, and . President Bush says it is s'ure Baghdad still has such weapons. It has threatened war to enforce Iraqi disarmament.

Another classic shoot-out betw~n Marshall and Toledo for the MidAmerican Conference championship ... what more would you expect. · And who do you want more in a shoot-out than a quarterback who has been portrayed in preseason publications dressed as a vintage western gunslinger? · With the Thundering Herd down by three late in the fourth quarter, quarterback Byron Leftwich hooked up with Darius Watts for a 40-yard touchdown pass with less than a minute remaining as Marshall defeated Toledo, 49- · 45. With the w i n , Marshall regained the MAC title which Toledo had won from the Herd last · year, snapping a four-year streak of league ch!!ffipionships for M<;lfShall. . "Last year after we lost we all had a sick feeling," said Leftwich. "Titis year, we couldn't let them come in here and make us feel like that again." There were six league changes in the last 20 minutes of.the game ·and it was Leftwich who helped the Herd regain the lead each time. The final lead change began on the Marshall 17-yard line after Toledo scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper by Bnan Jones with 4:07 left to play to ~ve the · Rockets a 45-42 lead, whifh was followed.b,y .a missed e"tta..;foint kick. Toledo left plenty of time on the clock for Leftwich, .who finished the game 32-of-42 passing for 404 yards and four touchdowns. "That was a great Marshall team . ... a fine football team," said Toledo head coach Tom Amstutz. "Byron Leftwich is a very special quarterback." "As they say, big players show up for big g.31Des, and (Leftwich) showed up for the big game," added Jones. Watts caught nine of Leftwich's passes for 135 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Denero Marriott also caught a pair of Leftwich touchdown passes, finishing with 87 yards receiving on seven catches, while Josh Davis had six catches for 99 yards. The Herd's following, and final, drive began on a bad note. After Marshall advanced the ball to the 50-yard line, the Herd was called for a chop block, moving the ball back to the 35 on a . first-and-25. Marshall, though, on third-and15 was rewarded with a pass intetference call to give the Herd a new set of downs.

The Blue Devils {1-0) led the entire game and controlled the tempo against a talented but seemingly overmatched Meigs team (0 -I). Gallipolis led the game by as many as 31 , in the fourth quarter, and seemed to suppress any hopes . for any comeback that Meigs could muster. Both teams · seemed somewhat tentative in their first games of the season, with Gallia Academy finding their balance first. . "'If Meigs had played last night (The game against River Valley was canceled because of the weather) you see improvement, in one day you can iron out some of the things you do," said Gallia Academy head coach Jim Osborne. . Cody Caldewll led the way for the Devi Is with 15 points evenly spread throughout the game. Gallia Academy 's starters carried the load in this game accounting for 56 of Gallia's 69 points. . Meigs didn't score their firSt points until 4:38 in the first quarter and never were able to maintain the offensive rhythm that could have gotten them back in the game, After narrowing the lead to 15-10 at the end of the firSt quarter, Meigs fell flat. They didn't score another field goal until 3: I0 was left in the second quarter. Gallipolis started the first and second quarters with runs of 9-0 and Il-l to create a sizable lead that they did not relinquish. "We played at home and we . had some veteran players, that made · a difference,'' said Osborne. "Our front seven have varsity experience, they know the game of basketball, they've played in district finals. ''They know how to get a 6 point lead and build on that." Even with a deep hole to crawl out of, Meigs didn't quit. They played consistently better throughout the game and found a rhythm in the fourth quarter when· they stayed even with the Blue Devils, scoring 17 points. Meigs was led by Carl Wolfe's 10 points and 9 points . from Dave Boyd that came mostly in the second half. Penalties played a large part in Meigs scoring opportunities. The Marauders scored 20 of thtlir 45 points .from the free throw line. Both teams fought penalties all night in a physical basketball game that saw more Marshall quarterback Byron Leftwich (above) looks for the open receiver during the Thundering Herd's 49-45 win over Toledo in the MidAmerican Conference championship game at Marshall Stadium. Leftwich finished with 404 yards passing and four touchdowns, including the game-winner with less than a minute remaining to Darius Watts.

The top-ranked Hurricanes beat No. 18 Virginia Tech 56-45 Saturday and earned a shot at defending their nationa! crown when they take on No. 2 Ohio State in Tempe, Ariz. With Miami (12-0) and Ohio State ( 13-0) the only unbeatens left, there .can be no argument over who should be playinfc in the Bowl Championship Series' tit e game. Both teams were officially invited to the Fiesta, evep though the fi nal Bowl Championship Series standings that .determine the top two teams won't be released until Sunday. Miami and Ohio State were fi rst and second on the last BCS list. Matchups for the other BCS games took shape when Washington State beat UCLA 48-27 Saturday night. The Cougars (I 0-2) clinched the Pac- 10 title and will play in the Rose Bowl, likely against the Big 12 champion (Oklaho.na or Colorado). Washington State's win probably sends Southern California (10-2) to the Sugar Bowl to play SEC champion Georgia (12- 1), while the Orange Bowl likely will match ACC champion Florida State (9-4) against Iowa ( 11-1 ). Georgia won its first SEC title in 20 years with a 30-3 victory over Arkansas on Saturday night. However, under certain BCS rules, there remained an outside chance the Orange.and Sugar could have a different look: Iowa vs. USC in the Orange; Georgia vs. Florida State in the Sugar. Six conferenee champions were automatic qualifiers for ·BCS games, with two-at large teams also selected. Saturday's results mean that Notre Dame (10-2) probably is out of the BCS picture, costing the Irish a $13 million payout. The Jrjsh, who do not play in a conference, probably will play in the Gator Bowl against North Carolina State. The payout from that game is $1.6 million. As far as the Rose, Orange and Sugar bowls, there was still a chance the matchups could change dramatically by Sunday. Because of certain BCS rules, the Ordllge Bowl could wind up with Southern Cal vs. Iowa, the Rose with Washington State vs. the Big 12 winner and the Sugar with Georgia or Arkansas vs. Florida State.

When a loss las t week bounced Jacksonville out of the playoff race, Jaguars cornerback Jason Craft . had no ~roubl e finding hi s moti vation for the rest of the season. ·"Every time you' re out there. it's a job interview," Craft said. In the case pf the Jaguars, il's not onl y the players who · H!!ed to make a good impression. As Jacksonville (5-7) heads into Sunday's .game against the Cleveland Browns (6-6). coach Tom Coughlin is trying to avo id his th ird straight losing season. Hi s youn g team is getting worse as the season goes on. not better. Fans are showing hDw they feel by not coming to games. And. yes. a ne.J" we bsite. "firetomcoughlin.com." rece ntly popped up on the Internet. Is it time for Coughlin to go, after eight years on the job'! Cleveland It JacksOnville 1 p.m., WBNS Ch. 10 The question is gathering steam this week in Jacksonvi lle. ''I think we've done a good job," Coughlin said when asked how he would evaluate himself this year. "Certainly, it's not something that is perfec t. But I can tell ;YOU, our effort, our preparauon, our en thusiasm. our desire what we' ve done with our team, how we ' ve tried to rally and stay focused, has been a very good job." Owner Wayne Weaver says he has full confidence in Coughlin, whose contract run s through 2004. The owner said he' ll evaluate everything about the franchise when the season is over. "We ' II spend some time looking at things that went ri ght, thini~ that went wrong, and how we addres s those things," Weaver told the Jaguars' Web site. It was Weaver who was talking playoffs when the Jaguars were on their way to a 3-1 start and giddy after a big win over Philadelphia. A fourgame losing streak ensued. The Jaguars won two straight to even their record at 5-5, and Coughlin started talking to his players about a "six-game season," a clear reference to the playoff p!lsh he thought was on the hori- zon. The push never happened: In the court of public opinion, one of Coughlin's biggest mistakes was never conceding this was truly a rebuilding year for the Jaguars, even though it clearly was. " I don :t think people want to hear that word, so we don' t use it," he said. Expectation s built, and because of that, a late run to 8-8 might not seem nearl;Y a~ s;~ti sfying as it should gtven the salary-cap circumstances the Jaguars are dealing with. Still, with the playoffs all but gone, Coughlin refuses to spend the rest of this season building fo r the future by playing younger players . He will not sacrifice winning at the expense of benching Mark Brunell. although Brunell has an ·injured finger on hi s throwing hand that could keep him out for Sunday anyway: If he doesn't play, a lot will be read into Cou~hlin 's decision between playtng veteran Kent Graham and rookie David Garrard , who is supposedly the quarterback of the future, · The Browns also .had play" off aspirations this year, but instead find themselves mired at .500 and coming off an embarrassing loss to the Panthers. Coach Butch Davis is playing it straight, refusing to talk .about the playoffs, even though they' re still in reach. The Browns are I 1/2 games behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North. "If you' re worried about the playoffs, I think you' re making a terrible mistake," Davis said . "You play as hard as you can. Win as many games as you can. When the season is over, somebody is going to call you and say, 'Hey, guess what? You made it or you didn' t make it."' The Browns wi ll likely be without one of their top threats, Dennis No rthcutt, who hurt hi s knee last week again st Carolina. These one-t ime AFC Central foes meet in the renewal of one of the strangest and ugliest rivalries in the NFL. Three years ago, the Browns· were playing the Jag uars when Cleveland 's Orlando Brown had his career short-circuited after referee Jeff Triplette 's threw a flag that hit Brown in the eye. In the first meeting last season , Browns defensive tackle Gerard Warren made a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit on Brunell durin g an interception return. It knocked Brunell out' of the game and resulted in a $35,000 fi ne for Warren. · Warren didn 't speak to reporters this week in Cleveland. Brunell said the nastiness is behind him. • "Did I think it was cheap? Yeah. I thought it was," Brunell said. "But he got fined for it and we move on." ' In the second meeting last year, Browns fans pelted the · tield with beer bottles and; other debris after officials·· overturned a last-minute call that helped the Jaguars win , 1~10 . ' The Jag uars had to scurry. for cover, and after a delay of about a half-hour1 they._, returned !o the field to run the, final 48 seconds off the clock..: Asked if he was glad he wouldn' t be faced with flying_, bottles when he play s the., Brown s this time at home, Brunell esse ntiall y summed .. up the season for the Jags. , "I'm not so sure,'' he .. quipped. "We better win this. game, or l.'ll be hit with some-, thing." . Two of the NFL's worst teams square off: Bv JENNA FRYER Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Carolina Panthers can certainly relate to the hapless Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals ( 1-11 ) are desperate for · a victory, needi·ng . to win two of their last four games to avoid the worst record in team hi story. They' ve lost in every way conceivable this season, and dropped their share of close games. . Carolina, meanwhile, has spent much of the past two seasons desperate .for wins. The Panthers (4-8} ended last season with an NFL-record 15-game losing streak and had been riding an eight-game skid thi s year before snapping it last week in Cleveland.

Sund11y, December 8, 2002 Cookies, breads are 'treas~res' for Asbecks . ,._,. Page C3 Coot< of the Week Patty Asbeck Middleport, Ohio ., ' BY BRIAI'~ J. REED Staff writer MIDDLEPORT, Ohio · Patty Asbeck of Middleport loves to bake , and for her and her fam il y, baking old and new favorites together is a treasured family holiday tradition . In fact , Asbeck and he r husband, Bill, love to bake so much that , this year, they started a home-based bread baking business. But deliciou s breads are n't the onl y · thing s baked in the Asbecks' warm and cozy kitchen. Cook ies are a perennial vule-time favorite , too . - ''I' m not a creative person, . but I know so methin g good wheri I taste it," Asbeck said. "My mother hated to cook, :so I knew nothing abou t cooking when I married Bill." Asbeck 's first attempt at a meal for her new hu sband was a disaster. she remembers -- a tough pot roast and undercooked potatoes which bounced out of the electric mi xer Bill bought her as a weddin g gi ft . " You could have made shoes out of that pot roast," As beck . remembers with a rueful laugh. "But my mother-in-law, bles s her, began to teac h me what she knew about cooki ng, and I learned just. from watching her." • · The Asbecks' daughter, Emily, was a little luckier in the culinary train ing department, and now is also an accomplished cook. Most precious to the Asbecks ts their first gra nddaughter, three year-old Shelby, who has been "helping" in the kitchen, practically from birth . "This year, we're going to start a new tradition, by making our first gingerbread house, " Asbeck said. "It's a blessing from God to be a grandmoth er, and, now, Chri stmas revolves around Shelby's joy." Shelby will also help decorate roll ed sugar cookies, just like her mother and grandmother have done together for years. " Decorating Chri stmas cookies is great thing to do with kids," Asbeck, a teacher at Mid -Valley Christian School said. "Every kid needs to do this! " Dipped g in~ersnap s are also a holiday favorite at the Asbeck 's, and Patt y's recipe includ es a sweet, frosty . icing. "They' re the best cookies ever," Asbeck said. Each year, Asbeck tries a new recipe, many of which become holiday staples. This year, it's a Chri stmas Tree Bread, a yeast bread with a cinnamon fi llin g • and Maraschino cherries. 'The Asbecks call their little bread- baking enterprise " Bread Treasure s." but it's clear from their love of food and family that the holidays and those loved ones they share them with are the true "treasures" in the Asbeck home . ••• Pumpkin bread 3 cups sugar I cup vegetable oil 4 eggs, beaten 2 cups pumpkin 3 cups flour 2 tsp baking soda ~2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp salt I tsp cloves I tsp cinnamon I tsp nutmeg '/,c ur water Middleport teacher and t>aker Patty Ast>eck shares a loaf of warm crant>erry pecan t>read with her daughter, Emily.

HOME AND GAROEN WRITER ''stuff." Meigs ·residents have edge in getting fresh poinsettias OMEROY, Ohio - Poinsettias are the most popular flower of the holiday season and one of the nice things about them is that given proper care, the plants will go _right through Valentine's Day looking lovely. · That is, of course, if you select a fresh plant with green foliage right down to the soil line, bracts, which are really the colored leaves, thai are crisp and bright, and . cyathia, those yellow pea-sized things in the center of the . bracts, which are tight. Meigs countians hllve an advantage when it comes to freshness in that there are six growers in the county, many selling direct as well as sup· pi ying local retailers. This year, according to Hal Kneen , Meigs County Extension agent, .more than 75,000 plants are being produced locally. While a portion of those plants will be sold here, many will be shipped to chain stores and other retailers in a three-state market. As for Mei gs County's crop of poinsettias this year "excellent, a really good year for the growers," commented Kneen. For all of the growers, poinsettias provide a needed cash flow in the wintertime after the summer of producing flower and vegetable plants has pa'ssed. "It keeps the greenhouses filled and employees on the payroll ," he explained. · · Darrell Norris of Letart, the largest grower in the county, raises thousands of poinsettias in all colors whic.h he trucks out to wholesalers. One of the smaller growe rs, Mitch Meadows of M•· ~,. " " •• • • · - ·-· •· - Middleport, has only 3,500 plants and sells only locally. Most of his plants are purchased by individuals, churches, businesses and organizations, for decoration or social func· tions. Meadows has been growing poinsettias for the past ' I 0 years, more of !he bright red ones than the pale pink or creamy white, or the new marbled and rose varieties. Explaining the process of growing almost everyone's favorite of holiday plants, he said they are started from "a strip, stem cutting from a mother plant" taken in early August. Once rooted they are transplanted into 6-, .8- and 10-inch pots. · When the roots go to the bottom of the pot, they are pinched back to four or five branches_9r bracts to keep them from getting too tall . The soil has to be kept. moist, the plant regularly fertilized, and the temperature between 68 and 72 degrees for optimal growth, he explained. Sil)ce the poinsettia is a native of Mexico, it doesn't like December's cold weather and that's why most retailers put a protective cover on the plant before it . leaves the store, according to the grower. While the plants like sunshine, Meadows cautioned against letting the bracts touch a cold window pane or setting them in a draft. Overwatering is the most common cause of a poinsettia dying ·before it's time, Kneen added .. "The plant should be watered only when the soil is dry to the touch and it should never ever be allowed to set in a pan of water," he said. "And it's safe to have around .the house. It's a myth that poinsettias are poisonou s," added the exten sion agent. "Since 1919, when an Army officer's 2-year-old child allegedly died after eating a poin settia leaf, that rumor has circulated. It was later determined to be hearsay, but by then the story had taken on a life of its own," Kneen said Then in the mid- ' 70s, Ohio State University did an extensive study on poinsettias which are so much a part of Christmas decorati ons, and.once and for all put that myth to rest. �• .

Holiday safety tips for all ages WASHINGTON (AP) - A festive holiday season should also be a safe one, the government said Thursday, warning of hazards including dry Chri stmas trees and unsafe lights. The government's holiday safety tips include: · • When tree shopping, look for fresh trees or artificial ones . labeled "fire resistant." At home. place trees away from doorways, fireplaces and radiators. Decorate (fees with flameresist;)nt materials . that don ' t contain lead. Never use lighted candles on trees. • Use only lights proven safe by a recognized testing laboratory. Replace burned-out bulbs promptly and throw out lights with damaged wires or loose connections. • Make sure outdoor lights are certified for outdoor use and fasten them securely to trees or house walls, keeping .them away from power hoes. To hold lights in place, string them through hooks or use insulated staples, not nails or tacks. Never puU or tug lights to remove them. • Tum off all holiday lights before going to bed or leaving the house to avoid fires. Never use elec!fic lights on a metallic tree, which can become charged with electricity. • Plug all outdoor electric decorations into circuits with ground fault circuit intenupters to avoid potential shocks. • Avoid decorations thai resemble food or candy or are shaip, breakable or have parts a child could swallow.

Do 1 have to rep lace the old gal van ized pipes? : A. Unfo rtu nat ely. Yes . Once that brown stuiT starts tr~ ve lin g in old galvani zed pipe, it's all over.

Our ad v1cc ts to be sure to get your m•)ney's worth from the plumber you selec t to do tl1 e work . To do this, ha ve each plumber submit n drawi ng o f what pipes he wi ll rep lace and .w ha t stze pipe will be IIScd . That way you will be able to compare app les wit h appl es. Repl ace you r pipe with co pper and the problem will not occur again . your gara ge in mos t cases . is an exterior door? The weath e r-s trippin g aro uno the res t of the door is j ust as important as the seal at th e bo tt o m. Ch ec k all weather-str ipp ing at all exte - . rior openings. and be sure not to forget th e bottom of eac h exterior ooor. As a hou se movc.s . it causes e verything conn e<.:ted to it to shift position . You know what we mean if you' ve ever had a door that rubs at th.~ top or has such a large gap tha t you can put a fC, t thro ugh it. When thi s happens to windows and cxte rtnr doors. leaks occur. And , a door doesn' t have tu luo k like it has shifted to be lc;iking. An eighth-inch gap at th e bonum ol a door is all it takes. Why do we keep refe rring to the bottom of th e dour'' Because that 's wh ere most e.xtc- shin gles. a practi ce . called cover ove rs. If old shin gles are warped o r damaged . the wavy o r curled patte rn will show throug h the new shingles. Although weath er is a laclor, poor ventilatipn beneath the roof is the major culprit in roof cleterio ratioi1. Heat and trapped moistUJC are large ly to blame. Most con tract ors wh o bid on pri ce al one won 't in stall th e necessary fan s or vents to allevi ate the probl em. Ve nti!Utio n sho uld be a rou tin e part of th e bid process. Other installation must-dos include new layers of felt belo w th e ne w shingles, layers of storm guard in valleys that · funn el water to gutters. metal !lashin g around chimneys . exposed pipe, and walls and nailing rath er than staplm g shingle s to th e s urface . Bi shop estimates 80 percen t of contractors won ' t install drip guard abov e th e gutters at the edge of the roof to stop water from seepin g into the roof substru cture . llishop's firm tak es at le ast tw o hours to present all the shingle and in stallatio n opti ons to homeowners. "People wouldn ' t think of huying a new car with out gettin g a full pre s,entatio n. and the same sholtld apply to a $7.000 to $ 10.000 roof. It' s a good use · of time," says Bishop. Most roofin g jobs sho uld ta ke approxi mat ely three \ifor kin g da ys. Architectural sl)in gles oft en add o ne clay or more to install att on. Th iS IS du e to th e added weight of the high-ora dc shin gles. whi ch can be ditT ic ult to lift and hand le. wa nt s to w i th o ut co nse - quence. When the weather begins to get colo . loosen a few screws. adj ust the shoe on th e ha lla m of the doo r to lay snug ly al ong the threshold and retighten th e sc rews. If yo u in vest 10 minut es per door on two or three doors. yo u' ll save energy do llars and avoi d discomfort. Some thresholds incorporate a flex ible rubber strip th at act s to seal the und erside of th e door whe n it closes . We think these arc bad . They can't be adju sted. A house continually moves so devices th at don' t respond to thi s kind of activity are use less. Our recomme ndation is to have an y ·such thres hold replaced with the type we suggest. You say yo ur hou se doesn' t mo ve; 'th at it 's on sand - and there is no leak. OK . if 'that' s the case. keep wh at you· vc got. But don't for get to chan ge th e ~as ket when it begins to wear ' ' uut. , Some sa y th e best kind of weather- stripping is the interlocking type . We agree . It is th e very best. but also is the most e xpensive. The bad thin g about interl oc king weather- stripping is that .it reli cs on a quarter-inch wide ~roove all the way around the aoor. If a shift of an eighth of an inch or mOl.! Ul.:t..: ur o.;. th e door no long er will o perate pro perly and . in some in stances. simply won' t close, This condition wi ll have you maki ng adj ustments more often than you'd li ke. Do yo urse lf a favor. Usc on ly weath er-st ripping that snaps, screws or nails into place. The stic k-o n kind doesn' t last an d is a mess to re move. Wouldn' t yo u rathe r make minor adj ust ments oc casionall y than make a major alteration every cold season? To test whe th er your door bottom is leaking, have some-· one go o ut si de with a flash- . light at ni ght . Have hi.m shine the light throu gh the botlorf!: of the door. If you can sec th6 light. your doo r-botto m weather-stripping needs ad-_ justme nt. And, don't forget the candl e tri ck. Hold it next to the door edge on a windY. day. Blow out th e 11ame uno hold the smoking candle next to the gap all round ' the door; Then watch the smoke.

"If someone calls and needs to be taken to town to buy groceries or see !he doctor, I drop whatever I'm doing iind take them. I don't refuse anyone."

To keep active and involved she occasionally helps with her six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Her passion is bears and bells. She has hundreds of each collected over the pasi 40years. The bears, with a "bedroom of !heir own", come in all sizes, shapes and colors. Some are musical, some talk, some are animated, and all are special to Nara because most have been gifts from her friends. Her most valuable one, she says, is a Teddy Bear which was a gift from Judy and Rlllh Amold many years ago. . Every year for !he holiday season she brings out the Christmas bears and lines them up on the back of !he couch, Her favorite?

Forty or so are on display · at the Meigs Museum now as a part of a holiday exhibit. They will remain . there · through January for !he enjoyment of those visiting the museum. Everything from cow bells to ceramic ones are included in her collection of over 600 bells. She has Fenton bells, state bells, wooden bells, metal bells, and several from olher countries given to her by traveling friends. The bells set on top of her cabinets in the kitchen.
