Victims of oppression find new home in America ' ·. • The Chicago Tribune, on a nation adopting its new children: Tuesday ·was a very special day for 6-year- ., l I .· '· ' old twins Joshua and Stephen Rodenkirch and their 2-year-old sister, Annie. All three are natives of Romania who were adopted by a family in Geneva, Ill. Now they're being adopted by their new country as well. Thanks to an act of Congress, Thesday was when the Rodenkirch kids and some 75,000 other foreignborn children across the nation automatically become U.S. citizens.Jeanne Rodenkirch has suggested to her excited sons that, when they get to kindergarten, they say the Pledge of Allegiance with special pride. "You will always have your Romanian background," she's told them. "But on Tuesday, you become Americans." In the past, American families who adopted kids overseas could gain citizenship for them only by wading through red tape. After completing the adoption process, parents would 6U out forms, pay $125 per child and wait as long as two years for the U.S. Immigratiort and Naturalization Service to give its approval, Chicago's INS office was relatively quick about it, but in some locales, applications piled up by the thousands .... The new law, the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, greatly simplifies the process. As of March 6, foreignborn children under 18 beaome citizens ifthe child is living legally in the U.S. with at least one parent who is already a citizen, either by birth or naturaliza.:. tion. Kids adopted overseas in the future will become citizens as soon as they arrive on U.S. soil. (The act : doesn't .apply to U.S. adoptees who already have ' turned 18, or to foreign-born kids under 18 whose :. families live outside . the country.) . . . OUR READERS' VIEW·S Repairing the nation · Dear Editor: Let us examin e the economic downtown in this country as it affects our everyday lives. What is the purpose of a recession or depression? First, a laid-off worker is more apt to accept a lower paid job when they do find work and the idea is that they will work harder when they do go back to work. · Also, the people still working are expected to work harder to hold on to their jobs. Then to it makes it easer to fill the low paying jobs that no one else wants to do. Another fact is the Armed Services have been having trouble recruiting people to serve in the military lately. When jobs are more plentiful, young people an: not going to take up a trade, as quickly. where you learn how to kill people, and then go practice your skills on the poor people of the world who do not agree with you~ ideology. Last, but not least, is the psychological effect of not finding a job on a worker who has been laid off. After a while they begin to think that' maybe society does not need them or like them. That can become real depressing. After a while they may give up trying to find a job. Then we come to the one and six te.nths trillion dollar tax cut, mostly for the rich; along with es.tate tax and the capital gains tax cuts. Now back in 1981 under President Reagan and a Democrat Congress they told us the big tax ci.tt would cure the ills of the economy through the trickle down theory. ,O,U that happened was that we ended up with a $4 trilliol1 bigger national debt. · Then after the rich get their big tax cut and the government goes into. deficit spending again, they will decide that we have to have more government revenues. Guess what. T hey will decide that we should have a flat tax system o r a national sales tax or both. Both of which are regressive to replace the present progressive graduated income ·tax. A better way to improve our economy would be to put people to work repairing our bridge! all over the country and replacing the water and sewage systems in the cities which are in need of repair. A country's economy always does much better when money trickles up from the bottom rather than down from the top, at least you have something to show for it - a solid bridge, a good water system or a sanitary sewer which would better the living conditions of everyone. In other words, let us put the government surplus and unemployment compensation dollars to work repairing our infrastructure. · Roger S. Wilson C elina Killing business · D•ar Editor: The same European country, which during World War II, produced gas used to kill Jews, the handicapped and other "unwanted" humans in Nazi death camps has redefined itself over the years, but it is still the "killing business" develc oping a new substance RU-486, a powerful chemical abortificant to be produced in China and distributed · throughout the United States to "killing stations" and other abortion clinics . Bill Clinton instructed th e FDA through an executive order to approv~ the chemical (accelerated approval) eveb though testing and evaluation were incomplete, compromising safety in def- crence to political expediency. Th e process itself takes at least thre e trips to the clinic: one batch of pills to prevent the mother's body from sustaining the child, th e second batch to expel the child fro m the womb and a third visit to validate the efficacy.ofthe expulsion. The proc edure sometimes tskes weeks for the child to pass and when it does the mother must confront the visible remnants, whenever and wherever it is expelled. C an you imagine the horror, the abhorrence, the repugnance, the pain, and the appalling psychological trauma that result from such an experience as when a mother confronts, as confront she will, the expelled, twisted, mortal remains of the child in her body? Bob Murphy Vinto.n · Calling attention . (Editor~ note: the following W<IS submllted on behalf of the Gall/a County Anlmall*l· fare League.) Dear Editor: I would like to call your attention to the great acmvity at the Gallia County Animal Shelter.

Victims of oppression find new home in America ' ·. • The Chicago Tribune, on a nation adopting its new children: Tuesday ·was a very special day for 6-year- ., l I .· '· ' old twins Joshua and Stephen Rodenkirch and their 2-year-old sister, Annie. All three are natives of Romania who were adopted by a family in Geneva, Ill. Now they're being adopted by their new country as well. Thanks to an act of Congress, Thesday was when the Rodenkirch kids and some 75,000 other foreignborn children across the nation automatically become U.S. citizens.Jeanne Rodenkirch has suggested to her excited sons that, when they get to kindergarten, they say the Pledge of Allegiance with special pride. "You will always have your Romanian background," she's told them. "But on Tuesday, you become Americans." In the past, American families who adopted kids overseas could gain citizenship for them only by wading through red tape. After completing the adoption process, parents would 6U out forms, pay $125 per child and wait as long as two years for the U.S. Immigratiort and Naturalization Service to give its approval, Chicago's INS office was relatively quick about it, but in some locales, applications piled up by the thousands .... The new law, the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, greatly simplifies the process. As of March 6, foreignborn children under 18 beaome citizens ifthe child is living legally in the U.S. with at least one parent who is already a citizen, either by birth or naturaliza.:. tion. Kids adopted overseas in the future will become citizens as soon as they arrive on U.S. soil. (The act : doesn't .apply to U.S. adoptees who already have ' turned 18, or to foreign-born kids under 18 whose :. families live outside . the country.) . . . OUR READERS' VIEW·S Repairing the nation · Dear Editor: Let us examin e the economic downtown in this country as it affects our everyday lives. What is the purpose of a recession or depression? First, a laid-off worker is more apt to accept a lower paid job when they do find work and the idea is that they will work harder when they do go back to work. · Also, the people still working are expected to work harder to hold on to their jobs. Then to it makes it easer to fill the low paying jobs that no one else wants to do. Another fact is the Armed Services have been having trouble recruiting people to serve in the military lately. When jobs are more plentiful, young people an: not going to take up a trade, as quickly. where you learn how to kill people, and then go practice your skills on the poor people of the world who do not agree with you~ ideology. Last, but not least, is the psychological effect of not finding a job on a worker who has been laid off. After a while they begin to think that' maybe society does not need them or like them. That can become real depressing. After a while they may give up trying to find a job. Then we come to the one and six te.nths trillion dollar tax cut, mostly for the rich; along with es.tate tax and the capital gains tax cuts. Now back in 1981 under President Reagan and a Democrat Congress they told us the big tax ci.tt would cure the ills of the economy through the trickle down theory. ,O,U that happened was that we ended up with a $4 trilliol1 bigger national debt. · Then after the rich get their big tax cut and the government goes into. deficit spending again, they will decide that we have to have more government revenues. Guess what. T hey will decide that we should have a flat tax system o r a national sales tax or both. Both of which are regressive to replace the present progressive graduated income ·tax. A better way to improve our economy would be to put people to work repairing our bridge! all over the country and replacing the water and sewage systems in the cities which are in need of repair. A country's economy always does much better when money trickles up from the bottom rather than down from the top, at least you have something to show for it - a solid bridge, a good water system or a sanitary sewer which would better the living conditions of everyone. In other words, let us put the government surplus and unemployment compensation dollars to work repairing our infrastructure. · Roger S. Wilson C elina Killing business · D•ar Editor: The same European country, which during World War II, produced gas used to kill Jews, the handicapped and other "unwanted" humans in Nazi death camps has redefined itself over the years, but it is still the "killing business" develc oping a new substance RU-486, a powerful chemical abortificant to be produced in China and distributed · throughout the United States to "killing stations" and other abortion clinics . Bill Clinton instructed th e FDA through an executive order to approv~ the chemical (accelerated approval) eveb though testing and evaluation were incomplete, compromising safety in def- crence to political expediency. Th e process itself takes at least thre e trips to the clinic: one batch of pills to prevent the mother's body from sustaining the child, th e second batch to expel the child fro m the womb and a third visit to validate the efficacy.ofthe expulsion. The proc edure sometimes tskes weeks for the child to pass and when it does the mother must confront the visible remnants, whenever and wherever it is expelled. C an you imagine the horror, the abhorrence, the repugnance, the pain, and the appalling psychological trauma that result from such an experience as when a mother confronts, as confront she will, the expelled, twisted, mortal remains of the child in her body?

Dear Editor: I would like to call your attention to the great acmvity at the Gallia County Animal Shelter.

The income tax bill passed Thursday by the House, 230-198, would compact the five current taX rates into four and reduce them by 2006, returning $958 billion in revenue to everyone .who pays income taxes. An estimated 6 million low-income people would no longer pay income taxes once the changes are in place. That leaves roughly $640 billion for the remaining parts of Bush's plan, which Democrats say are likely to cost more than that when new eStimates are done to reflect larger surplus numbers and a tOyear rime frame.

PREP HO .O PS COLLEGE BASKETBALL Tough choices as NCAA picks field of 65 todaY ~Peake and Belpre headed for regionals BY MICHAEL MAROT N' SPORTS WRITER INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The NCAA selection commiuee likes to evaluate the cold, hard numbers when choosing its tournament field. It looks at wins and losses, RPI ratings, strength of schedule and how a team finished in its last 10 games. The problem with the numbers is that they also tend to shift the balance of power in favor of a handful of conferences, which they likely will do again this year when the commit- tee reveals its 65-tearn field Sunday. 'lOur job is not td judge by emotion, but to just go with the facts," selection committee chairman Mike Tranghese said.

Only three teams not from those Women's conferences - fresno State, St. Joseph's and Creighton of the Missouri Valley - began the week in the top 30 of the RPI, a computer formula that is one of the tools used by the committee to evaluate teams for both selection and seeding. Today, conventionaJ wisdom goes, the power conferences will reap the rewards of their impressive numbers - with an even greater impact than in past seasons, Tranghese, the Big East commissioner who is on the selection com- mittee for the fifth year but the first as chairman, takes issue with such banter. . · "I think if you look ba~k at the history of this committee, I think this committee has .taken' more midmajors in the past six years chan we ever did before;• he said.

PREP HO .O PS COLLEGE BASKETBALL Tough choices as NCAA picks field of 65 todaY ~Peake and Belpre headed for regionals BY MICHAEL MAROT N' SPORTS WRITER INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The NCAA selection commiuee likes to evaluate the cold, hard numbers when choosing its tournament field. It looks at wins and losses, RPI ratings, strength of schedule and how a team finished in its last 10 games. The problem with the numbers is that they also tend to shift the balance of power in favor of a handful of conferences, which they likely will do again this year when the commit- tee reveals its 65-tearn field Sunday. 'lOur job is not td judge by emotion, but to just go with the facts," selection committee chairman Mike Tranghese said. These an: the facts: Of the Top 25 teams, only St.Joseph's.ofthe Atlantic 10 and fresno State of the Western Athletic Conference do not belong to one of the nation's six upower conferences" - the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Southeastern and Pac-10. Only three teams not from those Women's conferences - fresno State, St. Joseph's and Creighton of the Missouri Valley - began the week in the top 30 of the RPI, a computer formula that is one of the tools used by the committee to evaluate teams for both selection and seeding. Today, conventionaJ wisdom goes, the power conferences will reap the rewards of their impressive numbers - with an even greater impact than in past seasons, Tranghese, the Big East commissioner who is on the selection com- mittee for the fifth year but the first as chairman, takes issue with such banter. . · "I think if you look ba~k at the history of this committee, I think this committee has .taken' more midmajors in the past six years chan we ever did before;• he said. "We owe them some close attention and we try to do that." But this season may wind up being very different. for one thing, the mid-majors have not made terribly strong cases. coaches begin to feel the NCAA toumey heat Even perennial NCAA tmunarn.ent teams such as Temple and Utah, an: on the bubble.

SPRING TRAINI"NG BASEBALL f • Toclay's Scoreboard Big Mac hits first shot of 2001; Piazza to sit dow11 BY lliE ASSOCIATED PRESS The New York Mets lost their All-Star catcher for at least a week, while baseball's biggest sluggoor Ius found his home run stroke. Mark McGwire hit his first homer of spring training Friday, connecting for a solo shot in the St. Louis ·Cardinals' 5-3 loss to the Montreal Expos at Jupiter, Fla. "It's nice to get a hit," said McGwire, recovering from knee surgery. . McGwire, 2-for- 11 this spring, drove a 2-2 pitch from Chris Peters over the center-field wall in the fourth and received a standing ovation while rounding the bases. , McGwire,whowent1-for-3,playedsix inrungs for the second time in three days. He· is taking more days off early in spring training this year, following a schedule designed to have him ready for full-time duty just before the season starts. The training staff would prefer he not be out in the field too long. "I'm trying to get three at-bats, and the lineup isn't rolling over quick enough;' McGwire said. "Sometimes three at-bats takes three innings, sometimes it takes six." Fernando Tatis, traded by the Cardinals to Montreal in a deal that brought pitchers Dustin Hetmanson and Steve Kline to St. Louis, hit his third homer of the spring in the third against Andy,Benes. Elsewhere, Mike Piazza will. 'miss at least a week of exhibition games because of a bone bruise on his left knee. Piazza hurt himself this ·week in practice. The eight-time All-Star and the team initially called it a sprain, but an MRI on Friday showed a bruise. "It has already improved slightly, which leads me to believe it's not a serious thing," Piazza said. "From all indications, it should heal pretty quickly."

SPRING TRAINI"NG BASEBALL f • Toclay's Scoreboard Big Mac hits first shot of 2001; Piazza to sit dow11 BY lliE ASSOCIATED PRESS The New York Mets lost their All-Star catcher for at least a week, while baseball's biggest sluggoor Ius found his home run stroke. Mark McGwire hit his first homer of spring training Friday, connecting for a solo shot in the St. Louis ·Cardinals' 5-3 loss to the Montreal Expos at Jupiter, Fla. "It's nice to get a hit," said McGwire, recovering from knee surgery. . McGwire, 2-for- 11 this spring, drove a 2-2 pitch from Chris Peters over the center-field wall in the fourth and received a standing ovation while rounding the bases. , McGwire,whowent1-for-3,playedsix inrungs for the second time in three days. He· is taking more days off early in spring training this year, following a schedule designed to have him ready for full-time duty just before the season starts. The training staff would prefer he not be out in the field too long. "I'm trying to get three at-bats, and the lineup isn't rolling over quick enough;' McGwire said. "Sometimes three at-bats takes three innings, sometimes it takes six." Fernando Tatis, traded by the Cardinals to Montreal in a deal that brought pitchers Dustin Hetmanson and Steve Kline to St. Louis, hit his third homer of the spring in the third against Andy,Benes. Elsewhere, Mike Piazza will. 'miss at least a week of exhibition games because of a bone bruise on his left knee. Piazza hurt himself this ·week in practice. The eight-time All-Star and the team initially called it a sprain, but an MRI on Friday showed a bruise. "It has already improved slightly, which leads me to believe it's not a serious thing," Piazza said. "From all indications, it should heal pretty quickly."

Whether bird feeding is helpful or harmful to birds has been the subject of much d~bate. I No scientific evidence supports the claim that bird feeding affects the population of any species in any significant way, except to concentrate some birds locally ·where we want them - · ~round our homes. . Nature is simply too abundant with its resources, even in the harsh days of winter, to inake any wildlife creatures count on us as their sole support. According to statistics by the U.S. fish & Wildlife Service, some 52 million Americans over the age of 16 feed wild birds, spending an estimated $2.7 million on feed and another $832 million on feeders, houses, water warmers and other foods and accessories, an increase of 16 percent from five years ·ago. It is a ·way to invite the natural world in where you can experience it, according to Joyce Ruckle of Cool Ridge. "Birds are not a vety threatening form of wildlife;' she says.

Scientists hope to discover why the Hunley sank with its crew minutes after sending the Union blockade ship USS Housatonic to the bottOm off ne.u;by Sullivans Island in 1864. After the Hunley was raited :ap.d brought to shore last August, scientists tried to use X-rays to get a better idea of how it was put together. But the lightly packed sediment inside was like lead.in blocking their view. "My dream. was to ~ a complete mapping of the submarine through X-rays or gamma rays, but at this point, that's not ,possible," said Paul · Mardikian,'the senior conservator. There is evidence, however, that th~ hand-cranked sub appears to have been designed from the ground up, not fashioned from old locomotive bciilen as fint thought.

When they got th~ lint plate off, they fOund only dark sediment. After all three plates were removed, researchers carefully, almost spoonful by spoon!Ui, began removing sediment to recover the remains and other artifacts. Since the remains are thought to be at the bottom of the sediment-packed sub. they are not expected to be recovered fur several weeks.

Whether bird feeding is helpful or harmful to birds has been the subject of much d~bate. I No scientific evidence supports the claim that bird feeding affects the population of any species in any significant way, except to concentrate some birds locally ·where we want them - · ~round our homes. . Nature is simply too abundant with its resources, even in the harsh days of winter, to inake any wildlife creatures count on us as their sole support. According to statistics by the U.S. fish & Wildlife Service, some 52 million Americans over the age of 16 feed wild birds, spending an estimated $2.7 million on feed and another $832 million on feeders, houses, water warmers and other foods and accessories, an increase of 16 percent from five years ·ago. It is a ·way to invite the natural world in where you can experience it, according to Joyce Ruckle of Cool Ridge. "Birds are not a vety threatening form of wildlife;' she says.

Scientists hope to discover why the Hunley sank with its crew minutes after sending the Union blockade ship USS Housatonic to the bottOm off ne.u;by Sullivans Island in 1864. After the Hunley was raited :ap.d brought to shore last August, scientists tried to use X-rays to get a better idea of how it was put together. But the lightly packed sediment inside was like lead.in blocking their view. "My dream. was to ~ a complete mapping of the submarine through X-rays or gamma rays, but at this point, that's not ,possible," said Paul · Mardikian,'the senior conservator. There is evidence, however, that th~ hand-cranked sub appears to have been designed from the ground up, not fashioned from old locomotive bciilen as fint thought. Scientists started by excavating sediment from a hole in a ballast tank then began drilling out hundreds of . rivets . holding three iron plates in place over the compartment where they expect to find the remains of the (tew. When they got th~ lint plate off, they fOund only dark sediment. After all three plates were removed, researchers carefully, almost spoonful by spoon!Ui, began removing sediment to recover the remains and other artifacts. Since the remains are thought to be at the bottom of the sediment-packed sub. they are not expected to be recovered fur several weeks.

Set in ·a Maltese community in 1960s Cardiff, Wales, "The Hiding Place" chronicles the lives of the Gauci family through the eyes of Dolores, the youngest child. The reader longs for calm and explanation as author Trezza Azzopardi re-creates well the maze of memories through which Dolores pieces together her history. It begins with Frankie Gauci, the family patriarch, as he settles in the small dockside community ofTiger Bay in 1948. He soon marries Mary, a village girl, starts a family and buys into the Moonlight Cafe. But their fortunes slip quickly: After Mary has given birth to Dolores- their sixth daughter- she returns to find that Frankie has lost their business ' and their home. The novel takes a raw look at life on the docks for a fam. ily whose children struggle to stay afloat in the harshest of j i I I ' . ' •~ ·~ ' .• ;., \ ·" ' • ' f · realities. Their rrrother bartepi sex to the rent.collector, their father gives away one daughter to pay off a debt and marries off another in a brutal plan to better his own hfe. While the sense of urgency, desperation and fear are conveyed well, Azzopardi introduces too many characters too · quickly, making it difficult for the reader to keep track of what's being said by whom and to what effect. The novel draws images of smoky, forsaken _Places: "My · father has the last bedroom. It's called the Box Room, but it has no boxes in it, at least ·· none that I can see. It's always . open as if he's saying that he doesn't really live there, or is pinched by the size of it, or · wants us to know he's still . alive at night . by letting u's hear his snore. I never go in there by" choice, but sometimes I stand at the door." ' Chicago sponsored this West Coast tOur in which the girls sang in both English and Welsh. It was reported that the sisters kept the audience in laughter and in tears as they sang all kinds of music. They especially became known for the following s~gs according to Jim Lloyd, "Swioet Kehtucky Babe," "Steal Away To Jesus," nau Casseia," "Slow Joe:' and "Is Your Name Written There?" · In 1902, the ladies sang in Gallipolis 'on the occasion of the reunion of the 91st Ohio Volunteer Infantry of the Union Army from the Civil War. . They sang such songs as "The Old Camp Kettle," "Rally 'Round the Flag" and "Who Will Tell The Story When the Boys Are All Gone?" Their ca reer with soldiers' groups came by accident. They were called at the last minute to substitute for a male group that canceled out. The sisters were so popular that there was scarcely a Civil War soldiers' reunion after that to which they were not invited to sing. The sisters sang on canal boats, ri'-trboats and even rode mules into :an underground mine at Shawnee, Ohio to sing to coal miners. In 1913, when E~z­ abetl) was married, sister Kate took l!er place in the quartet. . ; Jim Lloyd ~rote: "Though they sang together at certain public functions through the 1920s, their public career ended circa World War I. Until their father's death in 1939, the nine children would gather during Christmas at the Edwards Hotel in Oak Hill,which WliS owned by their father, and sing the old songs."

They especially became known for the following s~gs according to Jim Lloyd, "Swioet Kehtucky Babe," "Steal Away To Jesus," nau Casseia," "Slow Joe:' and "Is Your Name Written There?" · In 1902, the ladies sang in Gallipolis 'on the occasion of the reunion of the 91st Ohio Volunteer Infantry of the Union Army from the Civil War. . They sang such songs as "The Old Camp Kettle," "Rally 'Round the Flag" and "Who Will Tell The Story When the Boys Are All Gone?" Their ca reer with soldiers' groups came by accident. They were called at the last minute to substitute for a male group that canceled out. The sisters were so popular that there was scarcely a Civil War soldiers' reunion after that to which they were not invited to sing. The sisters sang on canal boats, ri'-trboats and even rode mules into :an underground mine at Shawnee, Ohio to sing to coal miners. In 1913, when E~z­ abetl) was married, sister Kate took l!er place in the quartet. . ; Jim Lloyd ~rote: "Though they sang together at certain public functions through the 1920s, their public career ended circa World War I.

If kids won't drink milk, she says , yogurt, cheese, broccoli and fortified orange juice are good substitutes. If they won't eat vegetables, fruits have a similar ·amount of fiber and vitamins.

But Connie Diekman, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for American Dietetic Association, says "one-food jags" arc common but they are usually short-lived, typically lasting from 10 days to two weeks.

I have facial pat:llysis. I can't smile and make my cheeks move like most people c:m do. I can't work my eyebrows up and down either.

Not hard science perhaps, but at the very least "there's some kind of folk wisdom there that's on target:' says Jeanne P. Goldberg, registered dietitian and director of Tufts · University's Center on Nutri. ,tion Communication. • · John Webster of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion Slid. the USDA has not published research o r guidance on breakfasts in general,' al\hough one of their Nutrition • Insights publications m • December 1999 reported that "Eating l:lreakfast Greatly Improves Schoolchildren's Diet Quality." Goldberg agreed: "There 'are some data that show chil. .dren do better at school with a good breakfast." . Factors including individual cultures, traditions, age, geography and working hours affect people's wide range of different breakfast l}abits, heeds and preferences. For researchers, it's not easy to pin ~own hard data, Goldberg said. : However, Goldberg believes there are lots of gqod nutritional reasons to take advantage of the breakfast meal iime. One, she suggests, is that :you are less likely to feel :starved and to overeat later in the day. Often, too, breakfast :foods include items such as :fruit and fiber in easy-to-eat :fotms . : Apart from nutrition, there's :another kind of value she is a strong reason to pay . :thinks :attention to breakfasts: "Fami:lies could use 'breakfast for :social interaction;' she said. : It may be the one time · many families 9n sit down , and eat together; she pointed ·out, given the pressures pf busy schedules that keep ; everyone rushing off in different directions for the rest of the qay. \ I I I ' . ••• There's no shortage of recipes for 111aking something a little special that will fill 1he : potential slot between juice and ~offee or tea, or that will marry nicely with the eggs.

Even the food is back in as consumers dust off their slow cookers and fondue pots and dig out their long-forgotten recipes for quiche. The onion, cheese, bacon and egg tart called ~Quiche Lorraine' was extremely fashionable in the 1970s as a luncheon, brunch or appetizer dish. Today's quiches have been adapted to include ingredients that are popular now. In 'Seafood Quiche', soft silken tofu and shellfish increase the nutritional value of the creamy filling while maintaining the delicious cheese and egg flavor" .

Not hard science perhaps, but at the very least "there's some kind of folk wisdom there that's on target:' says Jeanne P. Goldberg, registered dietitian and director of Tufts · University's Center on Nutri. ,tion Communication. • · John Webster of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion Slid. the USDA has not published research o r guidance on breakfasts in general,' al\hough one of their Nutrition • Insights publications m • December 1999 reported that "Eating l:lreakfast Greatly Improves Schoolchildren's Diet Quality." Goldberg agreed: "There 'are some data that show chil. .dren do better at school with a good breakfast." . Factors including individual cultures, traditions, age, geography and working hours affect people's wide range of different breakfast l}abits, heeds and preferences. For researchers, it's not easy to pin ~own hard data, Goldberg said. : However, Goldberg believes there are lots of gqod nutritional reasons to take advantage of the breakfast meal iime. One, she suggests, is that :you are less likely to feel :starved and to overeat later in the day. Often, too, breakfast :foods include items such as :fruit and fiber in easy-to-eat :fotms . : Apart from nutrition, there's :another kind of value she is a strong reason to pay . :thinks :attention to breakfasts: "Fami:lies could use 'breakfast for :social interaction;' she said. : It may be the one time · many families 9n sit down , and eat together; she pointed ·out, given the pressures pf busy schedules that keep ; everyone rushing off in different directions for the rest of the qay. \ I I I ' . ••• There's no shortage of recipes for 111aking something a little special that will fill 1he : potential slot between juice and ~offee or tea, or that will marry nicely with the eggs. Many such recipes are not difficult to whip up; some may be made ahead, or will finish cooking while you shower; you can save others for weekends when you don'! have to watch the clock at all. Here are. a few to co~sider. ••• An uncomplicated, low-fat, dried.fruit compote, 'served with vanilla yogurt, is featured in " Atnerican Heart Association Around the World Cookbook" (Times Books, $17) . It cotnes from Greek cuisine. You can actually benefit by making it ahead, and refrigerating overnight, if that suits your timetable, the authors say: It or any leftovers taste even better the next day, as the flavor of the cinnamon develops. If you wish, you can also puree the compote in a blender or food processor to make fruit sOl>p, garnished with a swirl of yogurt. carbo., I mg chol., 36 mg sodium, 4 g total fat {I g saturated), ••• Whole grains provide fiber as well as nutrition.

From fashion to music to big-screen remakes of hit television shows, the 1970s are hot again. Even the food is back in as consumers dust off their slow cookers and fondue pots and dig out their long-forgotten recipes for quiche. The onion, cheese, bacon and egg tart called ~Quiche Lorraine' was extremely fashionable in the 1970s as a luncheon, brunch or appetizer dish. Today's quiches have been adapted to include ingredients that are popular now. In 'Seafood Quiche', soft silken tofu and shellfish increase the nutritional value of the creamy filling while maintaining the delicious cheese and egg flavor" . "The soy protein in tofu and the omega-3 fatty acids in seafood have both been linked to a reduced risk for heart disease," says Connie Cahill , consumer spokeswoman for the Ohio Soybean Council.

URG graduate ma~.~~ , io locations RIO GRANDE-The UniverSity of Rio Grande's master of education in classroom teaching program, with a concentration in fine arts, has added four new sites in Ohio. Columbus State Community College is the newest location in central Ohio. Other sites·include: Shawnee State University's Graduate Center, the Pump House Arts Center in Chillicothe, and the Finan Arts Center in Hamilton. "Rio Grande has one of the few graduate programs in Ohio for classroom teachers who want to stay in the classroom," said Dr. Greg Miller, chair of graduate education. "It is unique, designed toward hands-on creative problem-solving and experiential learning. "We really believe in the program. The new sites make the graduate study more accessible to teachers all over southeastern Ohio and now central Ohio." Coordinators at each site will provide information , to potential students about the · curriculum, 45 percent' of which is now available on the Internet. Based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, Rio's graduate program will provide a fourwtek course of study this summer at the four sites and the Rio Grande campus. About 250 students are expected to enroll this summer at the five Ohio locations, Miller said. The course of study can be completed in about a calendar year.

URG graduate ma~.~~ , io locations RIO GRANDE-The UniverSity of Rio Grande's master of education in classroom teaching program, with a concentration in fine arts, has added four new sites in Ohio. Columbus State Community College is the newest location in central Ohio. Other sites·include: Shawnee State University's Graduate Center, the Pump House Arts Center in Chillicothe, and the Finan Arts Center in Hamilton. "Rio Grande has one of the few graduate programs in Ohio for classroom teachers who want to stay in the classroom," said Dr. Greg Miller, chair of graduate education. "It is unique, designed toward hands-on creative problem-solving and experiential learning. "We really believe in the program. The new sites make the graduate study more accessible to teachers all over southeastern Ohio and now central Ohio." Coordinators at each site will provide information , to potential students about the · curriculum, 45 percent' of which is now available on the Internet. Based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, Rio's graduate program will provide a fourwtek course of study this summer at the four sites and the Rio Grande campus. About 250 students are expected to enroll this summer at the five Ohio locations, Miller said. The course of study can be completed in about a calendar year. For information, call the Graduate Education Center, 740-245-7364; or e-mail Miller at gmiller@rio.edu. ~·.~··~------------------------------~~------~---------------------------~--------------------------------~------------------ .--Ji~ �.:._:s_u_n_d_I}I:.;•_M_a_rc_h...;.11;.:'.;;200~1:..__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _..:,P.:o:m.:::•:;ro:,:y~·..;M:.::Id::d:.::le:.:po=.:rt:..·..:G:;a:.;l:.:.:llpo:;.:;l:: l•;.:.•;O:;h.:::lo:.;P:..;o:;l:.:.nt:.;P:..:I:.:e•:ll=:.nt:.:,:..:WV::..:._ _ _ _ _ __:•:.:u:.:n:lla::!p..:G::.;I:::; m::;r•:.:.·.:•:::"'.::;t:ln::,ri:.,:•;.:P:,:ag:!,!e~D3:: 110 Hllp Wanted ~· ITUD£NT DAIVEAS WANTEDIII No Exporloneo NICOIU'}'i No Coli Tralnlrlg " OUIHIIodl 38K. 42K 111 vaan CALL 1-100133 UU 110· Help W.nttd All Peroorull, Announce men~ Olveowoy, Loot & Found, Yard Sat••~ and Wanted To Do Ado Muot Be Paid In Advance.

Therefore, in order to we2ther the financial ups and dowru of the industry, it is important that producers undentand the cattle cyde as well as the cycle management options. On Monday, beginning at 7 p.m. at the C.H. McKenzie Agriculruru Center, OSU Livestock Economist Brian Roe will present sever· a! caw investment stntegies for managing the cattle cycle. Roe's presentation is intended to help producers determine the best time to invest in cows as well as when to cull cows from the herd. In the cattle cycle, as more heifers are retnined for breeding, there is a smaller supply of feeder cattle available for the feedlots, and ultimately, the beef supply declines. As a result, prices increase which in turn encourages producers to keep more heifers to pf9duce more calves for the strong market. At some point, usually about 2-1/2 years later, the retained heifen have increased the supply of feeder calves so much that the price begins to level off and gradually decline. This causes an increase in cowherd liquidation and more heifers going to the feedlot. John D. Lawrence of the Iowa Beef Center reminds us that producen can use this knowledge to make more profitable investment decisions if they: (1) "buy low and sell high" and (2) "do the opposite of what everyone else is doing." There are four basic alternative strategies. The "steady size" strategy is utilized by producers who retain the same number of heifers each fall, therefore nuintaining the same cowherd size, year after year. Another strategy, "cash fiow," involves selling all steer calves and cull cows, and then selling enough heifen to maintain the same cash fiow every year. In a third strategy," dollar cost averaging," the Jennifer Byrnes GUEST VIEw producer retains the same dollar value of heifer. each fall. Thus when calf prices are high, a fewer number of heifers are retained. When a fourth strategy knawn as "rolling average value" is utilized, the producer retains the 10-year average value of heifers. In a 30year srudy, the latter two strategies, dollar cost averaging, and rolling average value out-performed the first two strategies that intended to maintain a constant herd size or cash flow. On Monday, Brian Roe will discuss the advantages and disadvantages to these strategies · more in depth. He will also address retained ownership options for small cowherd owners. For more information, please plan to attend the meeting or call the Extensiotl Office at 446-7007 and request a copy of the source literature for this article. Ag news Second chance for pesticide license: Due to Extension scheduling conflicts that occurred two weeks ago, producers will have a second opportunity to obtain an original pri· vate applicator's license, as well as a training session. Confirmation on the proposed testing date is still pending. Anyone wishing to obtain a license, attend the "core" portion training session, or j~st add categories to an existing license, should watch the" Ag News" section of this article next week for confirmed dates.

The S&P ended the week off 0.76, nearly 0.1 percent. The latest rech selloff came as the Nasdaq approached the one-year anniversary of its record high close - 5,048.62 set on March 10, 2000. The composite has slid about 59 percent from that high, and many of its stocks are trading at similarly depressed levels .

The Dow industrials plummeted more .than 200 points and the Nasdaq composite more than 100. Investors found plenty of other reasons to sell. Late Friday, Cisco Systems became the ~bird big high-tech company this week to announce a bleak outlook, following Intel and Yahoo 1. And the governn]ent said the nation's employers created ' more jobs than the market expected, decreasing the chances of a big interest rate cut later this month. The Dow skidded 213.63 to 10,644.62, ending a fiveday winning streak. That runup, however, enabled the index to end the week up 1.7 percent, or 178.31. The Nasdaq composite index plummeted 115.95 to 2,052.78, its lowest close since Dec. 17; 1998, when it stood at 2,043.88. For the week, the Nasdaq lost 64.85, or nearly ·3 .1 percent.

Therefore, in order to we2ther the financial ups and dowru of the industry, it is important that producers undentand the cattle cyde as well as the cycle management options. On Monday, beginning at 7 p.m. at the C.H. McKenzie Agriculruru Center, OSU Livestock Economist Brian Roe will present sever· a! caw investment stntegies for managing the cattle cycle. Roe's presentation is intended to help producers determine the best time to invest in cows as well as when to cull cows from the herd. In the cattle cycle, as more heifers are retnined for breeding, there is a smaller supply of feeder cattle available for the feedlots, and ultimately, the beef supply declines. As a result, prices increase which in turn encourages producers to keep more heifers to pf9duce more calves for the strong market. At some point, usually about 2-1/2 years later, the retained heifen have increased the supply of feeder calves so much that the price begins to level off and gradually decline. This causes an increase in cowherd liquidation and more heifers going to the feedlot. John D. Lawrence of the Iowa Beef Center reminds us that producen can use this knowledge to make more profitable investment decisions if they: (1) "buy low and sell high" and (2) "do the opposite of what everyone else is doing." There are four basic alternative strategies. The "steady size" strategy is utilized by producers who retain the same number of heifers each fall, therefore nuintaining the same cowherd size, year after year. Another strategy, "cash fiow," involves selling all steer calves and cull cows, and then selling enough heifen to maintain the same cash fiow every year. In a third strategy," dollar cost averaging," the Jennifer Byrnes GUEST VIEw producer retains the same dollar value of heifer. each fall. Thus when calf prices are high, a fewer number of heifers are retained. When a fourth strategy knawn as "rolling average value" is utilized, the producer retains the 10-year average value of heifers. In a 30year srudy, the latter two strategies, dollar cost averaging, and rolling average value out-performed the first two strategies that intended to maintain a constant herd size or cash flow. On Monday, Brian Roe will discuss the advantages and disadvantages to these strategies · more in depth. He will also address retained ownership options for small cowherd owners. For more information, please plan to attend the meeting or call the Extensiotl Office at 446-7007 and request a copy of the source literature for this article. Ag news Second chance for pesticide license: Due to Extension scheduling conflicts that occurred two weeks ago, producers will have a second opportunity to obtain an original pri· vate applicator's license, as well as a training session. Confirmation on the proposed testing date is still pending.
